City f Lake Stevens 2015-2035 Cmprehensive Plan 2035 LAKE STEVENS VISION As the city cntemplates the next 20 years, it must embrace its psitin as a unified grwing city. Lake Stevens will be a vibrant sustainable cmmunity that prvides a psitive develpment atmsphere and maintains a strng cmmunity image with excellent schls and neighbrhds. Sustainability will be manifested thrugh envirnmental prtectin, cnscientius cmmunity develpment and sund ecnmic plicy. The city will cntinue emphasizing the rle f lcal grwth centers and subarea planning as the primary lcatins fr new develpment specifically as essential pckets fr ecnmic develpment and fcal pints fr new neighbrhd and cmmercial areas. The city will ensure that the city s infrastructure and public services will meet the demands f the cmmunity as it grws in an ecnmically feasible manner. Develpment will be sensitive t the lake, envirnment and existing neighbrhds. The cmmunity will becme a balanced cmmunity with sufficient and affrdable husing, family-wage jbs and a variety f shpping and service ptins t meet the needs f Lake Stevens residents. PLANNING CONTEXT Effective land use planning has becme a cmmn feature in statewide, reginal and lcal gvernance since 1991 when the Washingtn State Legislature enacted the Grwth Management Act (GMA) as Chapter 36.70A f the Revised Cde f Washingtn (RCW). The primary purpse f the GMA is t encurage apprpriate levels f grwth in urban and rural areas cnsistently acrss the state. The GMA identifies several mandatry planning elements that jurisdictins must incrprate int their individual cmprehensive plans:
1. Land Use 2. Husing 3. Capital Facilities 4. Utilities 5. Rural Element (cunties) 6. Transprtatin 7. Ecnmic Develpment 8. Park and Recreatin The GMA als directs lcal jurisdictins t cnsider specific planning gals t facilitate ppulatin and emplyment grwth when develping land use plicy and regulatins, including cntrl f urban grwth and sprawl, encuraging efficient transprtatin systems, prmting ecnmic develpment, prviding fr predictable and timely permit review, maintaining the natural envirnment and natural resurces industries, encuraging public participatin, ensuring adequate public facilities, preserving cultural and histric lands and implementing the Shreline Management Act. The Puget Sund Reginal Cuncil (PSRC) cmprised f agencies frm the fur-cunty central Puget Sund develped a reginal apprach, articulated in VISION 2040, t implement GMA requirements. VISION 2040 augments GMA gals related t envirnmental prtectin, fcused develpment patterns, husing affrdability, sustainable reginal ecnmy, integrated transprtatin systems and adequate public services. VISION 2040 emphasizes reginal grwth centers as areas t cncentrate future emplyment and ppulatin grwth, linking reginal and lcal centers with efficient multimdal transprtatin system, prmting sustainability in decisin-making and allcating ppulatin and emplyment grwth within reginal gegraphies based n cmmunity size. The GMA requires cunties t adpt cuntywide planning plicies in cperatin with affected cities (RCW36.70A.210). Cuntywide planning plicies prvide a lcal planning framewrk t ensure cnsistency amng cities and a reginal visin. Snhmish Cunty facilitates cllabrative cuntywide planning thrugh Snhmish Cunty Tmrrw (SCT), which is cmprised f staff, lcal citizens and elected fficials frm every jurisdictin. The cities, twns, tribes and cunty have wrked tgether thrugh SCT since 1989 t address lcal planning issues. SCT prvides a frum in which jurisdictins can address reginal grwth management issues such as transprtatin, utilities, husing, ppulatin and emplyment. PLANNING IN LAKE STEVENS The city f Lake Stevens adpted its initial GMA Cmprehensive Plan t address grwth in the city and its Urban Grwth Areas (UGA) in 1994. The first majr update t the Lake Stevens Cmprehensive Plan ccurred in 2006, which highlighted the city s changing status frm small cmmunity t a grwing city. The 2006 plan identified specific grwth centers as the fcus fr the plan and recmmended develping subarea plans fr each grwth center including Dwntwn Lake Stevens, 20 th Street SE Crridr (AKA Suth Lake), Lake Stevens Center (AKA Frntier Village) and the Hartfrd Rad Industrial Area. By the end f 2012 the city had adpted tw subareas and was wrking n a framewrk fr a third. Als as part f the 2006 Cmprehensive Plan, the city develped an annexatin plan that calls fr eventually annexing the remainder f the unincrprated area within its unincrprated UGA. 2015-2035 Cmprehensive Plan ES-2 P age
2015-2035 Cmprehensive Plan ES-3 P a g e
As f December 31, 2009, all f the UGA west and suthwest f the lake has been annexed. Only the areas sutheast f the lake, small areas east f dwntwn and ne parcel west f Lundeen Parkway remain unincrprated. Jurisdictins are required t update their cmprehensive plans and develpment regulatins peridically t remain cmpliant with GMA requirements. Thrugh its annual dcket cycle, Lake Stevens cntinues t refine its plan. Fr example, the city incrprated ecnmic develpment data and strategies int gals and plicies. The city adpted tw subarea plans that cnsidered land uses and husing in large prtins f the city. The city cntinues t update its transprtatin element regularly, which cntributed t the cmpletin f a new cncurrency-based impact fee system. The city adpted a revised Park, Recreatin and Open Space Element with a new mdel fr determining levels f service. Other minr changes ccur as well typically in the frm f citizen-initiated land use map changes. The GMA mandates jurisdictins cmplete thrugh updates t cmprehensive plans accrding t a predetermined schedule. Snhmish Cunty cities, including Lake Stevens, must cmplete their majr updates in 2015. As the city began its cmprehensive plan update prcess fr 2015 staff identified several tasks that wuld need t take place t ensure cmpliance with GMA, PSRC and cuntywide plicies. T date, staff has prepared a self-audit f its cmprehensive plan and develpment regulatins t identify any state, reginal r cuntywide incnsistencies. The city has engaged the cmmunity in a public participatin prgram that has included public pen huses, surveys, scial media, utreach t service grups, and meetings with the Planning Cmmissin and City Cuncil. The plan addresses many technical issues: 1. What has changed since the last time we adpted ur cmprehensive plan (e.g., bundaries, ppulatin and infrastructure)? 2. Hw has demand fr varius land uses changed? 3. What has been implemented? 4. Are we using all f ur planning tls (e.g., subarea planning, innvative cdes, cntinuus public participatin, etc.) 5. Des the cmprehensive plan accurately reflect the city s cmmunity visin? Aside frm meeting technical and prcedural requirements the update has allwed city staff t pse fundamental questins t the cmmunity abut their visin fr Lake Stevens ver the next 5, 10 and 20 years. Will yu be in Lake Stevens in 2035? Where will yu live? Where will yu wrk? Hw will yu get there? What will yu d fr recreatin? Where will yu shp? 2015-2035 Cmprehensive Plan ES-4 P age

At the first pen huse, city staff and bard members had breakut sessins with the public t discuss the mandatry cmprehensive plan elements. Based n the public cmments received, fresh visin statements emerged fr each plan element. The next imprtant avenue t receive public utreach was an pinin survey. The survey was psted electrnically n the city s website and administered at city events. Thrugh this survey, cmmunity members were asked a series f questins t determine public cncerns and preferences fr grwth ver the next 20 years. Cttage husing and twnhuses were identified as the mst ppular nn-single-family husing ptins; The preferred lcatin fr residential grwth was suthwest Lake Stevens fllwed by Nrtheast Lake Stevens and the Sper Hill area; Retail, High-tech industry and prfessinal ffices were identified as the mst imprtant emplyment sectrs fr Lake Stevens; The preferred lcatin fr emplyment grwth was the 20th Street SE Crridr, fllwed by Lake Stevens Center and the Hartfrd Industrial Area; A sense f cmmunity and residential pprtunities were identified as the mst psitive changes ver the last 10 years, increased traffic was identified as the greatest challenge; Participants identified schls and neighbrhds as the city s greatest strength; 30% f participants are attracted t ther cities fr shpping and dining; 25% f participants felt ecnmic develpment (increased shpping and jbs) shuld be a pririty, fllwed by public services ver the next 20 years; Over 38% f participants identified adding mre sidewalks and pedestrian paths as the mst imprtant transprtatin imprvement fllwed by increased vehicle capacity; and 37% f participants indicated parks and pen spaces are the mst imprtant public facilities fllwed clsely by rads and sidewalks. These respnses prvided a valuable framewrk fr re-evaluating individual plan elements and updating gals and plicies t reflect cmmunity preferences. The 2035 Lake Stevens Cmprehensive Plan update addresses the applicable GMA elements as specific chapters and cnsiders ptinal elements related t cnservatin, slar energy, recreatin and subarea plans in individual chapters. The plan incrprates and respnds t cmmunity preferences and cncerns. It als cnsiders the rle f reginal planning under VISION 2040 and cuntywide planning in the develpment f specific gals and plicies. The fllwing sectins will identify the visin and primary revisins fr each element. 2015-2035 Cmprehensive Plan ES-6 P age
INTRODUCTION A Visin fr Planning the city will integrate the Grwth Management Act (GMA), defined in Chapter 36.70A f the Revised Cde f Washingtn (RCW), as an essential planning framewrk fr the Lake Stevens Cmprehensive Plan.

Based n the previus buildable acres the city husing capacity is 3,784 new units (5,465 fr the entire UGA) and emplyment capacity is 1,954 new jbs (2,410 fr the entire UGA). At the present rate f develpment the city remains n track t meet grwth targets. The Land Use Element prvides updates t the city s grwth center strategy with discussins f prgress and next steps. The city s ultimate gal fr each center, based n the ecnmic and demgraphic assessments, is t develp a unique subarea plan with distinguishing characteristics that serve slightly different markets, thus ensuring ecnmic diversity and vitality. As nted the city adpted subarea plans fr the Lake Stevens Center and 20 th Street SE Crridr in 2012.
