The City of Stanwood has initiated an amendment to the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Development Regulations based off of the 2019/2020 Docket Applications which include several rezone requests with associated zoning code amendments.
The Comprehensive Plan for Stanwood is intended to guide future decisions related to land use, city development, transportation, housing, capital facilities, and utilities through the year 2035. The plan was developed in compliance with the Washington Growth Management Act (GMA), which establishes planning goals to guide the development and adoption of comprehensive plans within the State.
The City of Stanwood’s sewer system is a major infrastructure, most of which is invisible to the customers it serves. The sewer system requires qualified staff to operate and maintain an ongoing capital improvement program to replace old components to meet the requirements mandated by federal and state laws. The primary purpose of the City’s Comprehensive Sewer System Plan is to identify and schedule sewer system improvements that correct existing deficiencies and ensure a safe and reliable sewer system for current and future customers.
The purpose of this Stormwater Comprehensive Plan is to provide the City with a planning document that anticipates the need for compliance with various local, state, and federal stormwater regulatory requirements, most specifically the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Western Washington Phase II Permit (Permit), and allows the City to plan for, add, upgrade, and/or replace critical parts of the City’s system of natural and man-made stormwater facilities.
The City of Stanwood’s water system is a major infrastructure, much of which is invisible to the customers that receive its water. The water system requires qualified staff to operate and maintain an ongoing capital improvement program to replace old components to meet the requirements mandated by federal and state laws.
The Transportation Plan provides the framework to guide the growth and development of the City’s transportation infrastructure. It also integrates land use and the transportation network by ensuring that all existing and future developments are adequately served by the system. While the automobile-related transportation network needs provide the core of the system, the Plan also addresses the development of a balanced, multi-modal transportation network for the City, and adjacent Urban Growth Area (UGA).
