Development Guidelines and Public Works Standards

The City of Lacey’s Development Guidelines and Public Works Standards are a supplement to the WSDOT/APWA Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction as adopted by Lacey Municipal Code (LMC) 14.20.010 plus City Policies, Codes, and Ordinances.

While these standards are intended to apply to all projects within the City limits, they are also intended to be utilized in applicable circumstances where the City’s service areas, annexation areas or planning areas extend outside its limits.
