3,000 New Residents: Where Will We Live, Work and Play?
Sequim 120, the Comprehensive Plan update process, is progressing into the next phase; developing growth alternatives to accommodate the projected growth of 3,000 new residents in 20 years.
The City of Sequim is seeking citizen input to help determine how and where Sequim accommodates change and provides affordable service as the community grows.
Participation opportunities include Public Workshops on Saturday, November 23, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. at the Sequim Transit Center, 190 West Cedar Street. Each workshop can accommodate approximately 50 people and will include a variety of interactive activities including: “pulse pad” preference polling on neighborhood character and form, mapping activities and discussion.
Open House events will take place on Friday, December 6, 2013 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday, December 7, 2013 from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. at 167 West Washington Street, located behind That Takes the Cake. Participants may stop by the Open House events at their convenience. They will receive an overview of the community vision then work on one or more individual preference assignments designed to give direction for land use and development.
The development of growth alternatives is the second phase of a seven phase process culminating with the adoption and implementation of the updated comprehensive plan. Sequim 120 kicked off in 2012 with the visioning phase of the project. The Sequim 120 Vision Statement was adopted by the Sequim City Council on August 27, 2012.
