City of Cheney Plan 2026

What is a Comprehensive Plan?

Per GMA requirements for mandatory elements found in RCW 36.70A.070, the Comprehensive Plan establishes Cheney's 20-year vision and goals for the future. It is a community vision of goals, objectives, policies, and actions that guide the day-to-day decisions of elected officials and local government staff. Cheney’s previous 2017 update consists of 11 elements:

- Housing

- Natural Assets & Sustainability

- Technology

- Culture & the Arts

- Parks, Open Space & Recreation

- Economic Development

What is a Periodic Update and how is the Periodic Update developed?

A Comprehensive Plan is a 20-year plan for the city's future. It ensures that the plan still matches the community's vision and meets all new legislation.

The public engagement process is critical to every update component, indicating a level of nuance and detail that the revised vision and policy framework convey. The planning process is a bottom-up process.

Numerous community events will occur, including stakeholder engagements, a community survey, Community town halls, Outreach/tabling events, and public meetings with elected officials. See the timeline on the sidebar to track the process of the periodic update.
