Report
Issue:
The Growth Management Act provides that the City of Olympia can amend its Comprehensive Plan once each year. Pursuant to the procedures set forth in Olympia Municipal Code 18.59.030, this year the City Council forwarded three proposals to the Planning Commission for review, public hearing and recommendation to the Council. These proposals included an update of the Waste ReSources (solid waste) section of the Plan, a set of revisions of the Transportation system maps, and the 'Copper Trail' property-owner's proposal to amend both the Future Land Use Map and Zoning Map
with regard to property along Capital Mall Drive. The proposed ordinance would adopt these changes as recommended by the Planning Commission.
