Mercer Island residents are invited to attend a community information session about the recent Growth Management Hearings Board (GMHB) order and what it means for the city’s planning and housing policies. As a result of this order, big changes may be coming to your neighborhood impacting density, affordability, and height limits.
The session will explain the GMHB order and outline the steps Mercer Island must take to comply, including updates to the Comprehensive Plan, housing capacity planning, and policies affecting development near the light rail station. Things are happening fast. If you want to have a voice in the direction of the city, this is a chance to learn about what is coming.
