WEEK AHEAD: How to get your minute @ City Council’s next all-day rezoning/Comp Plan hearing on Monday
(City map from plan-update overview)
The city’s rezoning/Comprehensive Plan Update process continues, outlining plans for future growth, and tomorrow brings the Seattle City Council‘s next all-day public hearing. The morning session is focused on remote testimony, the afternoon session on in-person, everybody allotted up to one minute. The agenda has all the documents, including a package of simple maps showing the newest proposed boundaries for what the city calls Neighborhood Centers and Urban Centers. Seven of the maps show the newest boundaries under consideration for the proposed Neighborhood Centers in West Seattle – pages 1-6 are Endolyne, Upper Fauntleroy, Holden, Fairmount, Brandon Junction, and Delridge, page 25 is High Point – and then there are four Urban Centers mapped for WS, Admiral (page 40), Morgan Junction (page 52), West Seattle Junction (page 61), Westwood-Highland Park (page 62). For an explanation of the different types of “centers,” you can check out page 24 of this document, and then scroll ahead to more detailed descriptionsi. The Neighborhood Center concept in particular was introduced when the city unveiled the first version of its rezoning proposal eight months ago. Not all the center boundaries have changed since then; this package of maps compares the original and revised boundaries for those that have changed, including the Endolyne Neighborhood Center and the Admiral and Morgan Junction Urban Centers.
