Planning Commission Recommendation

On June 12, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended adoption of amended Comprehensive Plan Elements to the City Council. Arriving at a recommendation to the City Council marks the end of the Planning Commission legislative review of the Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. This step in the process marks a major milestone in the Comprehensive Plan periodic review project that began when the City Council approved a scope of work in March 2022.

There are still several steps remaining to complete the Comprehensive Plan periodic review:

  • The City Council will review the Comprehensive Plan update; a process that will include an initial briefing and two touches in advance of adopting the update by ordinance. The City Council will receive and initial briefing on the Planning Commission recommendation in July, currently planned for July 16. City Council meeting agendas are posted on the City website here.
  • the periodic review will include some development code amendments to implement the updated policies. The Planning Commission will begin review implementing development code amendments at its next scheduled meeting on September 25, 2024. Planning Commission meeting agendas are posted on the City website here.
  • The periodic review of the Comprehensive Plan including the implementing development code amendments must be adopted before December 31, 2024, the deadline set by the WA Legislature in the statewide Growth Management Act.
