The Bay View Neighborhood Plan

Thank you to everyone who provided comments on the Draft Plan! We appreciate the time and thoughtful comments that residents provided throughout this nearly two year planning study. This input helps shape the future of the neighborhood. The comment period ended June 9th. Planning staff have considered feedback and updated the draft plan. Below are links to the Final Draft Plan, the Final Draft Executive Summary, and a document summarizing the changes made based on resident and stakeholder feedback. Next steps in concluding and adopting the Plan include:
