Council adopts 2026 Community Development work plan, scopes Comprehensive Plan update

City of Burlington City Council · January 22, 2026

Summary

The council adopted the Community Development Department and Planning Commission’s 2026 work plan, which prioritizes completing the Comprehensive Plan update and conducting a fire/EMS impact fee study, and includes further work on park and transportation impact fees and subarea plans.

Community Development Director Brad Johnson presented the Planning Commission’s recommended 2026 work plan and emphasized two priorities: completion of the Comprehensive Plan update and a fire/EMS impact fee study. Council debated the scope of the work plan, including PROS plan/park impact fees, transportation impact fees, Cascadia project thresholds, and subarea plans related to commercial development, then voted to adopt the plan and authorized the mayor to sign the attached resolution.

The council approved the Planning Commission recommendation without recorded opposition. The work plan gives staff and the Planning Commission a roadmap for the year and signals that staff will return with ordinance or fee proposals (including the fire/EMS impact fee study) as those items advance.
