Mill Creek Comprehensive Plan Mill Creek, Washington
Influencing physical and economic development across all its geographic areas, the Mill Creek Comprehensive Plan provides a proactive strategy to carefully guide growth and change in a community addressing future challenges and opportunities. In leading the comprehensive planning process, Otak facilitated a citywide visioning poll to inform future planning decisions focused on enhancing quality of life, economic vitality, and a safe and clean environment for Mill Creek’s growing community.
A Strong Vision and Proactive Plan for Growth, Informed by Community Engagement
The comprehensive plan is centered around a vision to make the City of Mill Creek a highly desirable place to live and work. It highlights distinctive neighborhoods, including a dynamic Town Center and South Town Center subarea, as well as scenic surroundings accentuated by parks, greenbelts, and natural areas. The Plan’s goals and policies will chart a course for change across eight different plan elements. Among a variety of initiatives within those elements are encouraging mixed-use neighborhoods near commercial areas in land development, adding a wide variety of residences for all income levels as part of housing, accelerating the recovery of salmon as part of environmental considerations, and enhancing multimodal accessibility to public spaces within parks and recreation. The Plan continues to support better access to Community Transit’s Swift Bus Rapid Transit lines and an extensive trail system (including the North Creek Trail) as part of its transportation element. Altogether, these goals and policies reflect the most important values of the community for shaping Mill Creek’s future.
