Lyman schedules Jan. 26 workshop to finalize comprehensive-plan revisions and Critical Areas draft
Summary
Consultant Eric Jensen presented proposed revisions to expand Lyman’s Urban Growth Area and refine transportation funding language after Skagit Council of Governments feedback; the council agreed to attend a Jan. 26 workshop to finalize changes and review a draft Critical Areas Ordinance.
Eric Jensen of EJ Municipal presented proposed revisions to the Town of Lyman’s comprehensive plan, urging the council to expand the town’s Urban Growth Area to accommodate more residential development adjacent to current boundaries. Jensen also recommended strengthening the plan’s transportation funding approach in response to feedback from the Skagit Council of Governments and proposed a workshop on Jan. 26, 2026, to finalize the revisions and review a draft Critical Areas Ordinance.
Mayor Eddie Hills and the council agreed to attend the Jan. 26 workshop. The changes Jensen outlined — an Urban Growth Area expansion and additional detail on transportation funding strategies — would shape the town’s long-term land-use map and capital-investment priorities if adopted. The council did not take a final vote on the plan at the Jan. 13 meeting; the workshop is intended to finalize edits before formal adoption later in the year.
