The Pierce County 2027-2032 ACIP is the six-year program that informs the County Council, its staff, other departments, and the public about the scope, cost, funding, and status of airport capital improvement projects for the County’s two airports: Tacoma Narrows Airport and Pierce County Airport-Thun Field. The ACIP is rooted in each airport’s master plan which may be found here https://www.piercecountywa.gov/7216/Tacoma-Narrows-Airport-Master-Plan and here https://www.piercecountywa.gov/PLUMasterPlan.

Briefing
The Planning Commission will receive a briefing on the proposed Essential Light Rail Transit Facilities code package, prepared by Pierce County Planning & Public Works – Long Range Planning Division. Following the briefing, the Commission will hold a public hearing. The package proposes adding ‘essential light rail transit facilities’ as a new defined use and subcategory of essential public facilities in the Pierce County Code and is intended to facilitate the County’s permit review process for light rail facilities. The essential light rail transit facilities use is proposed to be allowed in specific zoning districts that align with the anticipated route of Sound Transit’s Tacoma Dome Link Extension project.
