The City of Tacoma has been working with residents, businesses and property owners to prepare a Subarea Plan and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Martin Luther King Jr. Neighborhood ("MLK"). The completed Plan and EIS are intended to encourage development and economic revitalization in the MLK District on Tacoma's Hilltop. Over the past year the City has held open houses for community involvement in the process of establishing a vision for future public and private investments in the MLK District.
Can't make the meeting? your can still provide input through the online survey located at the City of Tacoma's website - http://www.cityoftacoma.org/
They are looking for hte opinions of persons who work in MLK and who would be interested in living in MLK – particularly in the catalytic mixed use structures this plan will develop within the next couple of years. Depending on the results of this survey, and the characteristics of the catalytic sites and developers, potential MLK mixed use housing developments could look like the examples - Denny Park Apartments and Pontedera Condominiums in Seattle. Both projects are mixed use buildings with ground floor or street level retail and housing units over parking decks and both are also sustainably designed with low maintenance materials, natural lighting, energy efficient appliances, and rain/stormwater retention and reuse. Info on these example developments can be found at the above website as well as other additional information.
