Project Name: SBLSD capital Facilities Plan 2024-2030
Permit Application Number: CPA-2025-0005/SEPA-2025-0008
Docket No: TA-04
Location: CITY-WIDE
Description of Proposal: The City of Sumner is amending the Comprehensive Plan to ensure consistency with the Sumner-Bonney Lake School District (SBLSD) Capital Facilities Plan, as approved by the School Board in November 2024. The 2024–2030 plan outlines anticipated improvements to school facilities, including the Sumner High School Master Plan and upgrades to Daffodil Valley Elementary. It also includes updated information on project costs, enrollment projections, and school capacity. While the 2024–2030 SBLSD plan includes updated calculations for school impact fees, those fees are not adopted through this Comprehensive Plan amendment. Impact fees are adjusted and collected separately through ordinance adopted by the City. The associated text amendments are reflected in various chapters of the City’s Capital Facilities Plan, which is adopted by reference as an appendix to the Sumner Comprehensive Plan.
