Comprehensive Plan Amendment Process
Anyone can request a change to the Comprehensive Plan using the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Process.
The general steps must be completed in this order:
- Discuss your proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment with Community Planning before filling out any forms. Start by emailing andrew.boughan@co.thurston.wa.us.
- After your conversation, complete the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Request forms at the bottom of the permit forms page, and pay the associated land-use fee. (See Land-Use Fee Schedule on Permit Fees page).
- Complete & submitted requests are added to a list of proposed amendments.
- The Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) then chooses some proposals from the list to add to the Official Docket of Comprehensive Plan Amendments. This is the the docketing process.
- Proposals on the Official Docket are reviewed and evaluated by the Planning Commission, the BoCC, and staff.
- The BoCC votes whether or not to adopt proposed amendments which are then included in the next Comprehensive Plan.
