Whereas, the Metropolitan Planning Commission, in order to fulfill its duty to develop and maintain the General Plan to provide the basis for zoning decisions, has divided the County into fourteen subareas and developed plans for each such subarea; and

Whereas, the Metropolitan Planning Commission directed its staff to work with Bellevue area citizens to conduct public meetings and take such other steps deemed necessary to provide public input and review needed to update the Bellevue Community Plan; and

Whereas, eight community meetings were held between May 2011 and December 2011, at which community members worked extensively with Planning Department staff to develop their vision for the future of the Bellevue Community Plan area; and

Whereas, the 2011 Plan Update for the Bellevue Community, was approved by the Metropolitan Planning Commission following a public hearing on January 26, 2012; and
