Portions of the Briarcrest and Ridgecrest Neighborhoods are designated as "Special Study Areas." Properties in the special study area have zoning, but do not have accompanying Comprehensive Plan designations; i.e., no long-range vision. The purpose of the Southeast Neighborhoods Subarea Plan is to rectify the lack of direction in the existing Comprehensive Plan Map. This Public meeting and Open House is hosted by Graduate Urban Design and Planning Students from the University of Washington. They have volunteered to analyze the neighborhoods covered by the Southeast Neighborhoods Subarea Plan, and would like to share data that they have gathered with the residents and get feedback as to the accuracy of their findings prior to working with the City to develop implementation strategies for some of the Citizen Advisory Committee's recommendations.

This is an opportunity for you to learn about the work that has been accomplished so far by the Citizen Advisory Committee and City Staff. You will also have an opportunity to express your wishes and concerns about the plan and what your visions are for the future of the area. Your input is critical - please attend, the resulting Comprehensive plan will be the guide for the next 20 years.

For more detailed information about what work has been accomplished so far, please go to the City of Shoreline's website.
