Comprehensive Plan Multi-family Housing Survey
The City of Mercer Island is currently conducting a periodic review of its Comprehensive Plan as required by the Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA). A Comprehensive Plan serves as a guide for planning and managing growth for the next 20 years. The Comprehensive Plan contains several “elements” including, but not limited to Land Use, Transportation and Housing.
Recent state legislation requires a substantial review and update of the Housing Element, including the addition of focused strategies to plan for affordable housing. As part of this effort, the City is conducting public outreach to multi-family households on Mercer Island through a short survey to learn more about the reasons people choose to live here as well as reasons people may choose to move away in the future.
A postcard promoting this survey was mailed to all multi-family households located in the Town Center and multi-family areas of Mercer Island.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and opinions to shape the future of Mercer Island. If you have questions about this survey or the process, please contact us at Comp.Plan@mercerisland.gov.
