Background and Analysis:
The Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) is a chapter in the City's 20-year Comprehensive Plan adopted by the City Council in 2014. The CFP portion of the Comprehensive Plan is updated annually.
The CFP identifies which capital facilities are necessary to support development and/or growth. Most projects listed are directly related to the applicable master plan, such as the Parks, Arts and Recreation Plan, the Storm and Surface Water Plan, Transportation Master Plan, and other similar plans.

It is required by the Growth Management Act and includes specific projects, cost estimates, funding sources and strategies to implement the plan. The Preliminary CFP is available under Budget Documents on the City's Budget Webpage (Attachment 1).
City staff annually reviews and updates the 6-year plan to ensure it can fund and implement the comprehensive plan's vision, showing how the city will provide governmental services at adopted levels of service standards for the existing and projected population growth in the City and Urban Growth Area.
