What is a Comprehensive Plan?
The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) enacted in 1990, provides a framework for state, regional, county, and local planning coordination, requiring cities and counties to develop a plan to help manage growth over a 20-year planning period. This plan is referred to commonly as a Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan guides citywide policies on topics that affect our daily lives including housing, transportation, economic development, the natural environment, land use, and parks.
