Hi,

I am wondering about the process that the Planning Commission will use to make a recommendation(s?) to the city about the request to amend the urban waterfront zoning regulations on the "isthmus."

Does the Planning Commission's recommendation have to be consensual amongst all the members of the committee? Or can it be divided with differing pro/con opinions? How does the commission make the recommendation; will there be formal papers filed?

Maybe you know the answers to these questions; perhaps you can enlighten those of us who aren't in the know. There is a planning commission meeting tonight, but the topics are other than the isthmus rezone request.

Thought I would also round up some other growth that is on the table around the city. These are either priliminary submissions to the city or project discussions, or may have already begun. Like with the clearing near Division & Walnut Rd, these things can slip by with little to no fuss. Take the entire moonscaping of the development along Mud Bay & Evergreen Pkway/101 Interchange for example. That will soon be a 58-Acre development. It is slated to have 231 single-family lots, 24 duplexes, 63 triplexes, 54 sixplexes, 20 townhomes, and commercial buildings with at least 7000 sq ft of floor space. And lots of garage doors.
