Or, at least, “revising neighborhood plans” to accommodateTOD:
With Sound Transit’s light rail line from downtown to the airport scheduled to open next year, the city is feeling pressure to increase station-area development in southeast Seattle. Thus, the draft legislation targets communities around three southeast Seattle light rail stations to update their neighborhood plans first: North Beacon Hill; North Rainier (Mount Baker at McClellan Street) and Othello (Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Holly Street).
“We’re looking at the town-center idea and asking, how do we create the kind of communities (at light rail stations) that neighborhoods have identified in their plans?” said Diane Sigamura, director of the city’s Department of Planning and Development, which helped craft the measures with the Department of Neighborhoods and the Mayor’s Office.
