Council adopts climate-resilience element to comprehensive plan required under state law
Summary
Council approved Ordinance No. 16005 to add a climate resilience element to the city’s comprehensive plan, following state review and noting the element contains goals and policies rather than regulation.
Will Hamlin briefed the council on a new element for the city’s comprehensive plan that implements House Bill 1181’s requirement to add climate resilience policies. Hamlin said the state’s review criteria have been met and emphasized that the comprehensive plan element contains goals and policies—not regulations—and may be adjusted when the city undertakes its full plan update.
Councilors discussed the item briefly and approved Ordinance No. 16005 by voice vote. Staff noted the 60-day review by the Department of Commerce and that the law will continue to evolve; council members said adopting goal-oriented resilience policies places the city in compliance with the state requirement while preserving discretion over future regulations.
