The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires cities and counties to develop and adopt a Comprehensive Plan to manage growth, capital facilities, and transportation elements. These long-term planning efforts aim to establish a framework for a series of goals, policies, and standards that will ensure communities have an adequate level of service and facilities to support growth, guiding elected officials and local government staff in their local planning efforts.
The City Council adopts an updated Capital Facility Plan (CFP) every two years by Resolution during the biennial budget process, taking into account the availability of resources, changes in City policy, community needs, unexpected emergencies, and adjustments in cost or financial strategies. The CFP outlines how the City intends to allocate funds for various projects, including Facilities, Parks, Transportation, Water System, Stormwater System, and Sanitary Sewer System projects. Projects have been identified based on need and are at least partially funded.
Transportation Improvement Program
The Transportation portion of the CFP represents the City’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and is updated annually, adopted separately by the City Council, and filed with the Washington State Department of Transportation.
