Thank you to everyone who attended any of the community visioning workshops this March! These in-person events provided an opportunity for great community discussion and feedback on various aspects of the Comprehensive Plan as we begin to envision Spokane's future through 2046. We appreciated the chance to hear your thoughts and ideas, which will help guide the planning process. Stay tuned for more opportunities to get involved as we continue this important journey together!

If you missed the in-person workshops, you can still provide feedback on Spokane's future vision. Take the online survey below that asks you about your vision for Spokane's future. Take the survey by April 18 to help direct the scope of the PlanSpokane 2046 efforts.

What is the Periodic Update?

A "periodic update" is the state's term for a full review of the Comprehensive Plan to make sure it's in conformance with any legislative change to state law.

The City of Spokane is commencing a periodic update to the City’s Comprehensive Plan as required by the Growth Management Act (GMA). Since the last periodic update, which occurred in 2017, state law has added additional considerations especially around Climate Planning and Planning for Housing for all income levels that need to be added to the City’s plan.

Due in June 2026, the periodic update will identify policies and future regulations to guide the next 20 years of our city. This update provides us with the opportunity to identify the community's vision for Spokane now and into 2046.

To find that vision, the periodic update will include robust community outreach and engagement around climate, housing, economic development, land use, transportation, and much more. Keep an eye out for engagement opportunities throughout 2025 and 2026.
