Staff presented a technical text amendment to the city’s Capital Facilities Plan to incorporate the Sumner‑Bonney Lake School District’s adopted capital facilities plan. Shauna Walker, speaking at the Oct. 13 study session, said the district finalized its adopted plan in November 2024 and that the city amendment updates Chapter 3.8 (public school facilities) with current enrollment, facility capacity and projections to maintain consistency between the city comprehensive plan and the school district plan.
Why it matters: the Capital Facilities Plan section for schools must be consistent with the district’s adopted capital facilities plan for concurrency and for the city’s capital planning and impact‑fee calculations. Staff labeled the amendment a technical update; Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval.
Next steps: the amendment is advisory until council action; a public hearing will be held and council action is scheduled for Dec. 1 under the annual amendment docket timeline.
Clarifying details: the school district’s capital facilities plan that staff incorporated covers the district’s 2024–2030 capital program; the change was characterized as a technical consistency update and not a policy change.
