The City of Federal Way accepts applications for map and text amendments to the comprehensive plan annually for consideration. The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) allows comprehensive plan amendments only one time per year. Any interested person, organization, agency, or business may submit suggestions, proposals, or requests to the city for changes to the comprehensive plan maps and/or text.

To submit a request for a comprehensive plan amendment, applications need to be submitted by September 30th to be considered for the following year. In advance of applying, a preapplication meeting with city staff is required. For procedures and application materials, see our Land Use Applications & Informational Handouts page.
