2025 Comprehensive Plan Update
2025 Comprehensive Plan Update
The City of Napavine is undertaking an update of their 20-year Comprehensive Plan as required by the State legislation HB 1241 (2022). Every county and city in the state is required to conduct a periodic update of its comprehensive plan and development regulations (RCW 36.70A.130(1)). Napavine’s Comprehensive Plan was initially adopted in 1997, updated in 2006 and again in 2017.
The update will address urban growth areas, land use, housing, economic development, capital facilities, utilities, transportation critical areas, and climate Change/resiliency. The Comprehensive Plan provides guiding policies and strategies on the community’s vision for each of these elements. The update process also includes refining local regulations to implement the Community’s Comprehensive Plan and ensure consistency with state mandates.

- Environmental
