Each month we hold Planning Commission meetings and present to the Board of Island County Commissioners on topics relevant to Island County’s 2025 Comprehensive Plan Update. Below are our upcoming meetings and engagement opportunities.
Revised Goals and Policies Released for 45 Day Public Comment Period
In 2024 and 2025, planning department staff engaged the public in reviewing the existing 2016 Comprehensive Plan goals and policies. Input was collected through workshops at the Planning Commission, Board of Island County Commissioners meetings, online engagement, surveys, and focus groups with stakeholders.
Revised goals and policies drafts on the following elements are now available for public review and input: Land Use, Housing, Natural Resources, Economic Development, Capital Facilities and Utilities, Climate, Transportation, Parks, and the new Introduction Chapter Vision and Values.
Public comments will be accepted on the revised Goals and Policies for 45-days from May 30, 2025, until July 14, 2025. Visit our website for more information and details on how to comment.
