Council reviews draft scope and engagement plan for Downtown Subarea Plan update
Summary
City staff briefed council on a planned update to the Downtown Subarea Plan, covering vision, draft goals, scope topics (public space, transportation, parking, development standards) and a community engagement strategy; councilmembers offered priorities and requested lessons-learned and code-review tasks.
Bothell city staff on March 18 presented a preparatory briefing to the City Council on an update to the Downtown Subarea Plan, outlining a preliminary vision, goals, scope and a community engagement strategy that staff and the Planning Commission had drafted.
Jason Greenspan, director of community development, and senior planner Eric Jasewski described the update as an opportunity to reassess the 2009 plan in light of roughly 2,600 housing units and an estimated 6,000 new residents built in downtown since that plan was adopted, along with about $200 million in public and regional investments. "The Downtown Plan was adopted in 02/2009 and amended periodically," Jasewski said, noting the breadth of private and public projects completed since then.
