Engage in the Planning and Development
Process Through Upcoming Forum Series
The City of Tacoma’s Planning and
Development Services Department is holding a series of monthly interactive
forums starting in February and running through May 2017. The first of these
events is being held on Monday, Feb. 13, from 6 - 8 p.m. at Downing Elementary
School (2502 N. Orchard St. in Tacoma).
Covering a wide range of topics, the
February forum will focus on Permits 101, Area-Wide Rezones, tips on how to
participate in planning and give an overview of the One Tacoma: Comprehensive Plan. The event will then move into an open forum where each division in
Planning and Development Services will have staff available to answer
questions. Light refreshments will be provided and there will be an activity
table for children.
These forums will provide an overview on
how the planning and development process works, what information is used and
how the City assesses and manages the ongoing impacts from growth and
development.
For more information, visit
cityoftacoma.org/PDSForums or contact Senior Planner Stephen Atkinson at
satkinson@cityoftacoma.org or call (253) 591-5531.
