Wilburton Vision Implementation

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

This past year, we heard from over 350 community members, as well as stakeholder groups, boards, and commissions, who provided input on the vision elements and major policy moves that will shape future changes in the Wilburton Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) area. The Phase 2 Community Engagement Report summarizes engagement activities and key themes we heard from the community.

The planning team will be sharing proposed draft policies and code language with the Planning Commission in 2024. Proposed draft policy language can be found in the Draft Policy Document on the right hand side of the webpage.


Since project launch, we heard from community members through different outreach activities, including an online questionnaire, information sessions, youth engagement, small business visits, walking tours, tabling events, and presentations to community groups and organizations.

Community input has helped enhance the Wilburton TOD vision, shape different growth alternatives to evaluate, and identify early draft policies and policy moves to support vision implementation.

In the fall of 2022, the planning team developed different alternatives for adding housing and job capacity to the area. These alternatives have been analyzed as part of the city’s environmental review process and the results published in a Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was published on February 1, 2024.

In the summer of 2023, the planning team shared draft policies with boards and commissions to get their feedback. The team also held an in-person Open House and online questionnaire for community to share their opinion on major policy moves that will shape future changes in the area. In 2024, the planning team will be sharing draft policies and code with the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will develop a recommendation to the City Council for the Comprehensive Plan amendment (CPA), Land Use Code amendment (LUCA) and legislative rezone.

Vision

The Wilburton TOD area will become “Bellevue’s next urban mixed-use community that enhances livability, promotes healthy living, supports economic vitality, and serves the needs of a diverse and growing population. As Bellevue’s cultural and innovative hub, it serves as a regional and international destination that connects people and fosters community by leveraging its existing assets to define a distinctive sense of place and character”.
