Final Drafts Now Available!

Comprehensive plans are policy documents that set the direction for future growth in a jurisdiction over a 20-year period. Periodic updates are required every 10 years to comply with changes to state law, changes to land use, and to plan for updated population growth, housing, and employment projections. A periodic update is also an opportunity to engage the public and ensure the plan represents the community’s priorities and values.

The Board will be holding a public hearing on June 23, 2026, at 10 AM to hear testimony regarding both the Comprehensive Plan and the Development Regulations. The final versions of both items can be reviewed below. Meeting materials and the zoom link for the June 23rd meeting will be available in the agenda center the Friday prior to the meeting.

Camano residents are welcome to attend the meeting virtually from the Camano Annex. A meeting room has been reserved for residents to give testimony to the Board. When you arrive at the Camano Annex, please go to the Planning Counter and let them know that you are there for the Board of County Commissioners meeting.
