Legislation Title:

AN ORDINANCE amending the Seattle Comprehensive Plan to incorporate changes proposed as part of the 2010-2011 Comprehensive Plan annual amendment process.

Summary of the Legislation: This bill amends the City’s Comprehensive Plan to update three neighborhood plans; add new goals for reducing the number of vehicle miles traveled in the city; creating a new land use designation for master planned communities; adds a new element with policies related to marine cargo terminals; and expands the boundary of the 23^rd & Jackson urban village.

Background: The Comp Plan is a policy document required by the state that provides direction for how the City will accommodate the population and employment growth expected over the next 20 years.  State law permits amendments to be made once a year, and most years since the Plan was first adopted in 1994, the City has adopted some amendments.  The amendments in this year’s legislation originated with City staff and members of the public and were included in Resolution 31233, which set the docket for this year’s consideration.
