2015 – 2035 City of Lake Stevens Comprehensive Plan

The Lake Stevens Comprehensive Plan considers issues that will affect the city over the next 5, 10 or 20 years and adopts specific growth targets for population, housing and employment. Specifically, the plan addresses how the city will house a growing population; balance a developing employment sector and revitalize its shopping districts; while providing for public roads, utilities and other infrastructure and services; and ensuring the community continues to enjoy a clean safe environment to work and play.

The last major update to the Comprehensive Plan was completed in 2015, as adopted by Ordinance 937. The city is allowed to amend the Comprehensive Plan once a year through its annual Comprehensive Plan docket, with the most recent update being completed in December 2020 via Ordinance 1105.
