Comprehensive Plan
The State of Washington Growth Management Act (GMA) – RCW 36.70A – requires cities to adopt a Comprehensive Plan that includes the following mandatory elements:
1. Land Use Element
2. Housing Element
3. Capital Facilities Element
4. Utilities Element
5. Transportation Element
6. Economic Development Element
7. Parks and Recreation Element
The GMA also requires cities to periodically review and revise their Comprehensive Plan to ensure they continue to comply with the requirements of the GMA.
The City Council amended the City of Mukilteo Comprehensive Plan in 2009. At the same time it also adopted three new functional plans and updated two existing functional plans. The 2009 amendments included changes to the General Development, Land Use, Critical Areas & Shorelines, Transportation and Capital Facilities Elements of the Comprehensive Plan. The amended Comprehensive Plan and all of the City's adopted functional plans are listed below and can be viewed by clicking on the links. In some cases appendices have been separated from the plans to quicken download times.
For more information about the City of Mukilteo's Comprehensive Plan contact staff lead Glen Pickus, AICP, Senior Planner, 425.263.8042.
2010 Docket
The 2010 Docket application period closed Friday, Dec. 18, 2009. Docketing is the process by which residents and other interested parties can propose amendments to the City's Comprehensive Plan and to its land use development regulations.
The City Council will hold a public hearing on February 16, 2010 to consider all of the docket applications that were received and to decide which to place on the 2010 Final Docket. Placement on the Final Docket means those applications will undergo futher analysis by staff but does not necessarily mean they will be adopted. Applications will be presented to the City Council at a later date for their consideration and possible adoption.
State law requires cities to update their plans once every seven years. The next required update is in 2011. It is possible the City will choose not to amend the Comprehensive Plan in 2010 (amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are limited to once a year by the state) so items on the final docket may not be considered until 2011 as part of the required update.
If you have any questions regarding the docketing process, contact Senior Planner Glen Pickus, AICP, Senior Planner at (425) 263-8042 or gpickus@ci.mukilteo.wa.us.
