Central Issaquah Open House Survey: Land Use Concepts

If you were unable to attend the Open House, or attended but have further comments, this is your opportunity to provide your (anonymous) comments.  The comment period will close on Monday, March 31, 2008.

Survey Instructions

  1. When reviewing and commenting on the concepts, consider the following.

    When you think of the valley floor, which area first comes to mind?

    Which area do you think would best serve as the "center" of Central Issaquah?

    How important to you are transportation connections and alternatives?

    How much development are you willing to welcome to Central Issaquah?

    What are the greatest attributes/constraints in Central Issaquah?  is there a concept that best preserves/addresses these?

  2. Review the Districts Map to refresh yourself with the area and boundaries.  When reviewing the land use options created at the November 7, 2007 Workshop, it became clear that people view Central Issaquah as distinct, smaller districts.  To make analysis and comparison of the various land use concepts easier, we continued with the theme and created 16 districts.  These districts were used to help develop the five land use concept maps.

  3. Review and comment on the Parks, Open Space, Trails and Transportation Map.  This map shows potential transportation and open space features that could form a common framework for ALL of the draft land use concepts.

  4. Review How do the Draft Concepts Compare? This poster describes each land use category (Regional Mixed Use, Commercial Mixed Use etc) and includes sample pictures of what land uses within each category might look like. This comparison also notes the percentages of each category in each Land Use Concept.

  5. Review and comment on the five Land Use Concepts.  The November 2007 Workshop resulted in 11 land use options.  Following the workshop, the Planning Department narrowed the 11 alternatives to five concepts by consolidating similarities in the maps and in the 100s of comments provided.  The links to the five maps are below.  Each map includes features specific to that concept and percentages for the land use categories.

Concept 1: Center with Neighborhoods Balanced North/South (Least Growth)

Concept 2: Center with Neighborhoods Greater North/South Contrast

Concept 3: Common Scale with No Center - Most consistent with Current Plan

Concept 4: Limited Regional North - Current Plan with Extended Corporate Areas

Concept 5: North to South Transition - Most Growth Potential Overall

The questions that were asked at the Open House are listed in the survey below.  You are able to click back and forth between the map links on this page and the survey; so if you need to go back and look at Concept 3 again when you are filling in your comments, feel free. When you are done, click Submit.  All comments will be collected and added to those submitted at the Open House.

Please remember, the last date comments will be accepted is Monday, March 31, 2008.
