Municipal Code Update
Every 10 years the City is required by state law to update its Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range (20-year) planning document that guides future growth, development, community character, and quality of life for city residents. The Municipal Code contains the local laws that implement the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The city is beginning the process of updating both its Comprehensive Plan and the Municipal Code. This update is important as it affects our built environment, including housing, workplaces, roads, parks, shopping, restaurants, and entrainment.
The City is seeking community input on changes to the Comprehensive Plan and Municipal Code. What is your vision of Stanwood’s future? We want to hear your suggestions and ideas so that these documents reflect the values and aspirations of the entire community. Check out the progress on the simultaneous Stanwood Comprehensive Plan update here https://stanwoodwa.org/545/4277/2024-Comprehensive-Plan-Update
We are continuously accepting public comments and feedback throughout this process.

Advisory Group:
A Citizen Advisory Group was established to represent the community's voice in the update process and provide early policy guidance that reflects the community’s core values and goals. The Advisory Group will meet monthly for 18 months, except for August and December. The Advisory Group's roles include representing the interests of Stanwood and community residents, ensuring that the proposed plans and regulations reflect the desire and vision of the Stanwood community, actively engaging with staff and the consultants to share opinions, perspectives, and debate issues; and provide policy recommendations to the City Council. The Advisory Group meets on the third Wednesday from 5:30pm to 7:00pm every month. Minutes from these meetings are posted below.
The next Advisory Group meeting will be on Wednesday, November 15, 2023, from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm and held virtually via Zoom.
