Public Notice Planning Commission Public Hearing City of Leavenworth

Leavenworth, WALocal News

On July 6, 2022, at 7:00 PM, the City of Leavenworth will host public hearings to discuss proposed amendments to development standards and the introduction of a new Bavarian Theme design code. The first hearing aims to consolidate existing residential and commercial building regulations into a single, clearer code chapter while addressing community needs through modifications to various zoning codes. The second hearing will gather public testimony on the proposed Bavarian Theme code, which seeks to enhance the city’s distinctive architectural character. Community members are invited to participate either in person at City Hall or online via Zoom, with the city encouraging public comments to foster meaningful discussion. The city has reviewed these amendments and deemed them exempt from environmental review, which may expedite the process.

This initiative reflects the city’s commitment to improving its regulatory framework while ensuring it aligns with community values. Interested citizens should consider attending to voice their opinions and contribute to the decision-making process. For additional information, residents can contact the city’s planning department directly.
