Comprehensive Plan Update
Comprehensive Plan
Medical Lake’s Comprehensive Plan is a decision-making tool. The plan reflects the residents’ chosen path into the future by anticipating changes in the community and laying out policies and programs to guide the city in managing these changes. It serves as a basis for making responsible decisions while respecting multiple points-of-view, addressing land use availability and compatibility, financial capability, provision of governmental and social services, and environmental suitability.Â
