Comprehensive Plan
What is a comprehensive plan?
A Comprehensive Plan looks at the city from a bird's-eye view and evaluates how the community should grow. This plan assesses citywide policies and goals in regard to infrastructure, transportation, housing, parks, economic development, and other topics that effect quality of life.

A good Comprehensive Plan starts with a Community Vision in mind. This vision is the backbone of the plan and helps shape the policies and goals, which guide day-to-day decisions for elected officials and city staff.
In 2018, the city went through an extensive outreach effort to garner the community's shared vision that would help shape all future plans and create a city that provides something for everybody. Since the adoption of the Community Vision, the city worked diligently to update category specific plans in order to help assess existing conditions and community needs.
These planning efforts will help inform the next Comprehensive Plan update, where the city will continue to reach out to the community and come up with a citywide plan that reflects the shared vision and includes the data we have collected thus far.
2025 Plan Update
The City is in the process of updating our Comprehensive Plan, as required by the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). The City is required to complete its update by December 31, 2025. The GMA requires jurisdictions to periodically update their comprehensive plan and development regulations to bring them up to date with:
- Changes to state law
- Land use changes
- Population growth projections
- Housing projections
- Climate Resilience Planning
The City is developing our Comprehensive Plan in coordination with Clark County, in accordance with GMA regulations. This ensures that our individual plans are aligned and work in conjunction with each other.
