What’s happening?

Every 10 years, the City is required by State law to review and update its Comprehensive Plan. This update will look out to year 2045 to show, among other things, how the City will accommodate new population and employment growth. It is also an opportunity to make sure the Plan and Development Regulations meet current state requirements that may have changed since the last major update of the Plan.

Each chapter of the Comprehensive Plan will be updated individually, with its own public participation process and opportunities to provide feedback.

This page is for the Capital Facilities Plan chapter update. To learn more about the general update process or other chapters, visit our Comprehensive Plan Update home page.

What does the Capital Facilities Plan chapter address?

The Capital Facilities Plan is the place where what is needed over the next 20 years to implement the Comprehensive Plan is shown. It is a plan that shows what is needed, how much it is likely to cost, and how the City intends to pay for the improvements. Much of the detail is in the associated master plans, all of which are to be consistent with each other and designed to implement the Future Land Use Map and community vision.

How to get involved

Review and Comment on the public hearing draft (review links below). Comments or questions can be submitted to Joyce Phillips at jphillip@ci.olympia.wa.us(External link) or olympia2045@ci.olympia.wa.us(External link).

Staff developed a public hearing draft, based on comments from the public, staff, and advisory committee input. The public hearing was held on Monday, January 27, 2025. Minor revisions were made by the Council’s Land Use and Environment Committee before the Chapter was considered by the full City Council at a Study Session in April. No additional changes were suggested April.

Council is being asked to accept the April draft at its June 17, 2025 Council Meeting. Adoption will be requested once the full Olympia 2045 Comprehensive Plan is ready later in 2025.
