Take the City Council District 6 Neighborhood Center Survey by Tuesday, September 2*
The Seattle City Council is getting ready to take final votes on the Comprehensive Plan and legislation to comply with House Bill 1110 (the “middle housing” bill). For each proposed neighborhood center, Councilmember Dan Strauss (District 6) is putting forward three options, alongside the Office of Planning and Community Development’s proposal for feedback. Ultimately only one amendment for each neighborhood center will move forward to committee in September.
Which ones do you prefer? Help Councilmember Strauss decide which version to submit for a final Council vote by taking the District 6 Neighborhood Center Survey. The deadline to submit your feedback is September 2. This deadline is to give Councilmember Strauss’ office enough time to review feedback and incorporate it into final amendments.
*The text above is from an Aug 11th e-newsletter from Councilmember Strauss.
