What is the Periodic Update?
The City of Spokane is commencing a periodic update to the City’s Comprehensive Plan as required by the Growth Management Act (GMA). A “periodic update” is the state’s term for a full review of a Comprehensive Plan to make sure it’s in conformance with any legislative changes to state law. The last periodic update was completed in 2017. Since the last periodic update, 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. View the current Comprehensive Plan.
The periodic update will include robust community outreach and engagement around climate, housing, economic development, land use, transportation, and much more. Engagement is expected to start later this year (2024).
Climate Planning
As part of this periodic update, the City of Spokane is working on integrating climate and resiliency planning into the Comprehensive Plan, as directed by HB 1181 and with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act. Since this is a new topic to the comprehensive plan, engagement work has already started around climate. Learn more about the Climate Planning effort.
