City plans hearings on development standards for two Juanita sites to encourage housing and services access
Summary
Kirkland staff are reviewing development standards for the Goodwill and Michael’s sites in the Juanita neighborhood to encourage additional housing — both affordable and market-rate — and improved neighborhood connections. The Planning Commission will hear the proposals March 13.
Kate Ryan, co-host of This Week in Kirkland, said the city is updating development standards for two key properties in Juanita: the Goodwill site and the adjacent Michael’s site. The goal, she said, is to foster more housing, including affordable units, better access to everyday services and a more connected neighborhood.
"So the Goodwill and Michael site is undergoing some review right now for development standards," Ryan said. She announced the Planning Commission would continue the conversation at its March 13 meeting and invited residents to weigh in.
The podcast segment did not provide ordinance numbers, proposed zoning language, or financial incentives. No formal council action was recorded on the episode; the segment served as a public notice to encourage participation at the Planning Commission meeting. Residents seeking details or proposed code language were directed to the city’s planning web pages and the March 13 Planning Commission agenda.
