The City’s 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update is moving forward
Communities across growth management-planning areas in Washington state continue their December 2024 deadline progress towards the 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update, called the Periodic Update, and, for Normandy Park, Normandy Park 2044. This major update has been an opportunity for community residents, businesses, and other stakeholders to validate their long-range planning efforts in their comprehensive plans. Since the last Normandy Park Comprehensive Plan Update in 2016, the City Council has passed amendments including new Vision statements and an Economic Development Element, and incorporating stormwater management planning, Shoreline Management Plan (SMP), and critical areas ordinance (CAO) regulatory updates into the Plan for reference.
The Normandy Park 2044 plan amendments were based on an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach that first identified Normandy Park’s assets and strengths. This led to amendments proposed to all the chapter Elements in the Comprehensive Plan. Proposed amendments address elements including housing, urban growth capacity, capital investment planning requirements, environmental considerations for sea level rise, and continued stormwater management, transportation, and economic development actions to improve the local business climate.
The City Council will review these proposed amendments at the August 13th meeting, and the periodic update will be complete when adopted by Ordinance #1066 later this year. This is an important document, so I encourage you to use this link and review each newly drafted Chapters in Normandy Park 2044. If you have any questions after your review, please reach out to me or Community Development Director Nicholas Matz.

City Manager Report – September 6th, 2024
The Puget Sound is vital to our community, and the City wants to encourage residents to celebrate and protect it!
Daily, pollutants from our neighborhoods flow through storm drains to nearby creeks, streams, and lakes, which flow into Puget Sound. We rely on clean water for our well-being, as do salmon, orcas, and other wildlife living in our shared habitat. What we do here has an impact on our local waterways and, eventually, on Puget Sound.
