Public Hearing on Draft ‘One Tacoma’ Comprehensive Plan Update March 5

The “One Tacoma” Comprehensive Plan is an important tool that establishes Tacoma’s future vision and policy direction, and guides its growth and development over the next 25 years. It is currently being updated, and the City of Tacoma invites the community to learn about this once-in-a-decade update. Community members are also invited to participate in a series of informational meetings to provide input on the draft Comprehensive Plan. It is available online at cityoftacoma.org/onetacoma.

In addition to the “One Tacoma” Comprehensive Plan update, the Planning Commission is also accepting comments on minor amendments to the City’s development standards. A summary of these amendments is available at cityoftacoma.org/codeamendments.

The City’s Planning and Development Services Department will host four events to provide updates on the draft “One Tacoma” Comprehensive Plan’s progress and encourages community feedback.
