Staff outlines UGB expansion timeline and $315,000 TGM grant application
Summary
Planning staff said the city aims to present an urban growth boundary expansion for council review in September and finish adoption by December; staff are applying for a $315,000 TGM (Transportation Growth Management) grant to plan transportation for expansion areas.
City planning staff told the council they are pursuing an urban growth boundary (UGB) expansion and intend to present final materials to council in September so the county can act in time for a year‑end adoption. Staff warned the UGB work is a multi‑step process involving engineered and planning studies to evaluate serviceability and infrastructure costs.
Staff also said they are applying for a $315,000 Transportation Growth Management (TGM) grant to support transportation planning in the proposed expansion areas and to update the Transportation System Plan (TSP). The goal is to coordinate UGB decisions with required comp plan amendments at the county level and to complete required periodic review tasks tied to the UGB process.
