Public Scoping Hearing for the 2020 Annual Amendments on June 19
The City of Tacoma’s Planning Commission will conduct a public scoping hearing on Wednesday, June 19, to receive comments on the scope of work for the proposed 2020 Amendments to the One Tacoma: Comprehensive Plan and Land Use regulations. The public hearing will be held in the Tacoma Municipal Building Council Chambers (747 Market St., 1st Floor) starting at 5:30 PM.
Before the public hearing, the City’s Planning staff will hold an informational meeting for community members to learn about the proposed changes from 4 – 5 PM, also in Council Chambers.
The subjects of the public hearing are the following four applications:
- Heidelberg-Davis Land Use Designation
- West Slope Neighborhood View Sensitive Overlay District
- Transportation Master Plan Amendments
- Minor Plan and Code Amendments
The Planning Commission is seeking public comments on whether these applications should be accepted and moved forward for review during the 2020 Amendment process, and if so, whether their scope of work should be modified. In addition to comments received at the public hearing, written comments are being accepted until 5 PM on Friday, June 21, 2019. Comments may be submitted to: Planning Commission, 747 Market Street, Room 345, Tacoma, WA 98402, via fax at (253) 591-5433, or via email to planning@cityoftacoma.org.
