In addition to attending public hearings, you are invited to provide
comments on Spokane's 2006 Comprehensive Plan Update.:
Purpose of the
Comprehensive Plan Update
Spokane’s Comprehensive Plan was first adopted in May of 2001,
state law requires that the City review and, if needed, revise its comprehensive
plan to ensure that the plan thereafter continue, to comply with the
requirements of
GMA by December 01, 2006 and every seven years. This periodic review and
update is also necessary to reflect changes in local needs, new data, correct
errors, and/or clarify intent. The first step in this process is to establish a
public participation program that identifies procedures and schedules for the
review, evaluation, and possible revision process.
