# City Council Work Session 10-15-2026

Wenatchee City Council work session on October 15, 2026, focused on the state-required periodic update to the city’s comprehensive plan and related zoning amendments. Staff reviewed housing and land-use changes, transportation priorities, parks, climate resiliency, and public utilities. The Planning Commission had unanimously recommended approval the prior evening; the Council’s public hearing and consideration of ordinances and resolutions were scheduled for November 19. No Council vote on adoption or procurement action was identified at this work session.

Infrastructure planning included aligning capital expenditures with projected growth, addressing aging water, sewer, and stormwater systems, and considering water-system reservoir expansion, alternative municipal water sources, and wastewater-treatment capacity improvements. Staff also noted one-time funding used for the transportation-element update and grant funding opportunities related to industrial symbiosis, but no specific contracts, vendors, awards, or spending approvals were presented. Proposed policy and code changes include parking reductions, housing-development adjustments, and measures intended to make development review more predictable.
