In the course of development of the Plan, open houses
attended by over one hundred people have been held and
interviews conducted with over 60 individuals to gather
public input into the Plan development.
A Draft Downtown Plan has been developed dated October 1,
1998 and it has been reviewed by the City Co~ncil.

development do not ensure that future new downtown

City Council through the adoption of ordinance numbers
5193 and 5194 pursuant to RCW 36.70A.390. This interim
zoning will ensure that new development which occurs
prior to adoption and implementation of the Downtown Plan
is consistent with the Plan.

Business District) to developable properties west of the
