Lakewood Planning Commission reviews 2026 work plan, flags comp-plan amendments and shoreline review
Summary
Staff presented the Planning Commission's draft 2026 work plan, listing topics including 25 comprehensive-plan amendments, shoreline restoration review, the Community Development Block Grant action plan, natural environment and climate program items, and the six-year Transportation Improvement Program.
Staff reviewed the Planning Commission's draft 2026 work plan on Jan. 7, identifying priorities and timing for the year and noting that the commission's annual work plan will go to city council for approval.
The planning division manager (identified only by role in the transcript) said the commission generally meets the first and third Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. and outlined items expected this year: the Title 12 and Engineering Standards Manual update (first quarter), the annual shoreline restoration review (late February or early March), the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual action plan, the city's natural environment and climate program, a parks legacy plan, transportation items including the six-year Transportation Improvement Program, and a package of 25 proposed comprehensive-plan amendments that will require multiple meetings and public hearings.
Staff also noted the commission will track state-level changes that may require code updates and will present a separate development regulation package for technical updates after the legislative session in Olympia. Commissioners discussed scheduling for a separate tree-code review and agreed staff can adjust the commission calendar to avoid member conflicts. The planning division manager said more detailed packets and links to council goals are available on the city website and by email.
