THE RAINIER VALLEY POST: Will you be impacted by TOD? Check our maps
As Light Rail expands northward similar TODs will appear in north Seattle Neighborhoods. Meanwhile FutureWise is hoping to push HB 1490 and SB 5687 through the legislature this week, before most Seattle citizens have even heard of these two bills, which completely remove local control of zoning and mandate a minimum of 50 dwelling units per acre.
Each bill contains an identical New Section 9, added to chapter 36. 70A RCW that mandates "...all comprehensive plans and development regulations adopted under this chapter must authorize transit oriented development within one-half mile of a major transit station. The allowed net density for these transit oriented development areas must be fifty dwelling units per acre."
Go to http://apps.leg.wa.gov/DistrictFinder/Default.aspx to contact your legislators to tell them to defeat these social engineering bills. Do this today, tomorrow may be too late.
The Seattle Community Council Federation welcomes guests and representatives from community-based organizations in the Seattle area. We want to be aware of issues affecting your neighborhood, and we hope that you will join us with your input at our monthly meetings at Central Area Senior Center, 500 30th Avenue South. Jeannie Hale, Chair; Rick Barrett, Vice-Chair
