The City of Lake Forest Park is preparing for its 2024 Comprehensive Plan periodic update and is looking for an experienced consultant team to lead and guide the City through the update process. The consultant team will be asked to: help the City clearly define the project scope; create detailed project work plans for project phases; identify gaps in the City’s existing planning and policy documents using the Washington Department of Commerce (DOC) and Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) checklists; conduct community outreach and engagement efforts; work with City Council to define a clear direction and vision for the 2024 Comprehensive Plan; coordinate with multiple city departments, partner agencies, and stakeholder groups; and complete the 2024 Comprehensive Plan update and associated development regulations by the state-mandated deadline.

This plan is intended to provide elected and appointed officials, city staff, city residents, and the business and development community with a comprehensive, consistent, and culturally relevant plan to guide the City’s decision-making and development over the next 20 years, through the year 2044.

The City has budgeted $160,000 for professional services related to the update and has received a Department of Commerce grant for $125,000 in additional funds to cover consultant costs for the project.
