The Comprehensive Plan, often referred to as the “Comp Plan,” serves as a 20-year roadmap for how Seattle will grow. It guides decisions on housing, jobs, transportation and investments in infrastructure such as sidewalks, utilities and public spaces.

City leaders say Phase 2 of the plan will focus on zoning changes and development standards, determining where and how growth will occur across Seattle.

Lin, who chairs the City Council’s Select Committee on the Comprehensive Plan, said community input will play a key role in shaping the final outcome.

Residents will also have an opportunity to provide input during a formal public hearing scheduled for early April.

Public Hearing on Comp Plan Phase 2

Monday, April 6

  • 9:30 a.m. – Virtual meeting Sign up for public comment between 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
