COMPREHENSIVE PLANS
General Information:
The Growth Management Act (GMA), RCW 36.70A, establishes the primacy of the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning, subdivision, and other development regulations must be consistent with the Plan. The Bonney Lake Comprehensive Plan guides decisions about land use, development, City facilities and utilities, annexations, and quality of life. For more information on Growth Management visit our Growth Management Page.

Water Comprehensive Plan
The Water Comprehensive Plan is also a part of the Utilities Element of the full Comprehensive Plan. It dictates the future of the water system in Bonney Lake.
The Plan includes the following elements:
¤ Community Character (includes Downtown Plan)
¤ Natural Environment (includes critical areas such as steep slopes and wetlands)
¤ Land Use (includes urban growth areas and residential densities)
¤ Housing (includes affordable housing)
¤ Transportation
¤ Parks (includes adoption of Fennel Creek Trail Plan by reference)
¤ Utilities
¤ Economic Development
¤ Other Capital Facilities
The Comprehensive Plan is amended annually and thoroughly updated every seven years. The most recent complete update occurred in 2004. Updates are important because of Bonney Lake's rapid growth. The next update will be occurring this Fall. View the detailed schedule of 2007 Comprehensive Plan Amendments.
The City considers citizen-initiated Comprehensive Plan amendments on odd-numbered years. The next application deadline is April 30, 2009. Application forms are available on-line on our Forms Page or by contacting the Planning & Community Development Department Administrative Specialist. Most citizen-initiated amendments are to change a land use designation (zoning follows the land use designation) or expand the urban growth boundary. Check our Legal Notices Page for possible current action on amendments.
The below downloadable version is from February of 2007. Recent amendments made by the City Council will be compiled and put online as time permits. A copy of the current Comprehensive Plan may be purchased at the Permit Center in paper or on a disk. It is also online for download in full form or by element below.
