Marysville takes applications for Lake Stevens and Lakewood school districts' 2024-2029 capital facilities plans

The city's Community Development Department accepted an application 1 from the Lake Stevens and Lakewood school districts to fold their six-year capital facilities plans into Marysville's Comprehensive Plan and set school impact fees, with written comments due by 5:00 PM on October 17, 2024 1.

What the records say

The Lake Stevens and Lakewood School Districts applied to the City of Marysville on July 23, 2024, for approval of their 2024-2029 Capital Facilities Plans (CFPs) — six-year plans for school buildings and facilities — as a sub-element of the Capital Facilities Element of Marysville's Comprehensive Plan 1. The application, filed under number CPA24-001, also proposes establishing the collection and imposition of school impact fees 1. The city declared the application complete on September 17, 2024, and posted the notice of application that day 1. The notice explains that any person has the right to receive notice, participate in hearings, request a copy of the final decision, and appeal as provided by law 1.

Why it matters

In our analysis, school impact fees and the capital facilities plans are relevant to Marysville households because they touch how school capacity keeps pace with growth and how the costs of that capacity are recovered. Residents who want a say — or who want to preserve their right to appeal the final decision — must submit written comments by the October 17, 2024, 5:00 PM deadline and can contact the city's planner to become a party of record 1.
