The City of Woodland adopted the 2025 City of Woodland Comprehensive Plan in January of 2026 and it is now the plan or record.
2025 City of Woodland - Comprehensive Growth Management Plan
The Growth Management Act (GMA) was adopted in 1990, under RCW 36.70A, and requires counties and cities that meet certain population and growth criteria to adopt and maintain comprehensive plans. Under GMA, comprehensive plans must consist of these elements: land use, housing, capital facilities, utilities, rural lands (counties only), transportation, economic development, and parks and recreation. Due to the small amount of land located within Clark County, the City of Woodland is required to fully plan under the GMA.
These plans account for a minimum 20 years forward, and are to be updated every eight years, as needed. Woodland’s previous Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2005 and looked out to 2025. The new plan will consider 2025 through 2045.
