Central Area Mixed Use Centers: A Public Meeting

· Posted Wednesday April 4, 2007 by jamie

Tomorrow, Thursday, May 5th, the Central Neighborhood Council will be hosting planning staff from the Community and Economic Development department for an informal presentation on potential changes to zoning as they pertain to Mixed Use Centers in the Central Area. Particular areas being considered for changes are the MLK Mixed Use Center, the 6th and Pine Mixed Use Center, and the Tacoma Central Mixed Use Center (AKA Allenmore AKA the Target Business District).

I think flyers have gone out to most Central neighborhood residents, but others may have interest, so here are the details (sorry for the all-caps, it’s a cut-and-paste and I’m too lazy to retype the whole thing):
