City of Tenino Comprehensive Plan: The
City first adopted its Comprehensive Plan in 1990. It has been amended
several times since, with the latest amendment February 13, 2007 (linked
here). It is the visionary document stating the goals and
broad policies of the City.
The Comprehensive Plan was developed under The Growth
Management Act (GMA) (RCW 36.70A) and related state planning guidelines (WAC
365-195). One tool the City uses to evaluate the Comprehensive Plan is
a Plan excerpt
spreadsheet that boils down
all Plan Goals, Policies, and Actions into one document with a "How
to" column for notes on how these tasks are being (or will be) accomplished
by the City. Please help us do a better job of working for you by
reviewing this document to bring your ideas to the City, your Planning
Commission, or City Council members for consideration. |
