Notice of Availability Marysville 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update and DRAFT SEIS

The City of Marysville has announced its Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update, which outlines strategic growth through 2044. This update is crucial as it builds on previous plans from 2005 and 2015, maintaining a focus on community vision and sustainable development. The SEIS evaluates three alternatives: a No Action Alternative that retains the existing plan, an Action Alternative that revises land use assumptions, and a SWIFT Alternative targeting specific development nodes. Each alternative assesses potential environmental impacts and mitigation strategies across various sectors, including transportation and public services. The city aims to revitalize its Downtown and Waterfront, promote mixed-use developments, and foster economic growth, particularly in the Cascade Industrial Center.

The study area spans roughly 11,663 acres, covering the entire Marysville Urban Growth Area, which is bounded by major highways and other urban growth areas. This comprehensive approach not only addresses local needs but also aligns with new state and regional initiatives. The city's commitment to sustainability and community engagement is evident in the updated plan, which seeks to balance growth with environmental stewardship.
