How Does Climate Planning Relate to the Comprehensive Plan?

Our Comprehensive Plan serves as the roadmap for Spokane's future growth and development. The WA Legislature adopted HB 1181 in 2023 that added a requirement for cities to include a climate element into the comprehensive plan. By integrating climate considerations into this plan, we're not only addressing immediate challenges but also laying the foundation for a more sustainable and resilient city in the years to come. From land use and transportation to housing and economic development, every aspect of the Comprehensive Plan will reflect our commitment to climate action.
