A revised draft (updated 10/30) of the Land Use Code Amendment (LUCA) for the Wilburton Vision Implementation is now available for review: See here for draft.

October 30 draft changes are highlighted in green and October 10 draft changes are highlighted in yellow.

On May 31, 2024, two drafts were published to show different options (Option A and Option B) available for decisionmakers on certain policy issues. Rather than providing a separate Option B for the incentive-based affordable housing approach, callouts within the revised draft indicate where Option B differs from Option A. Specifically, the differences in Base FARs, parking, and amenity incentive options are noted. Please note that there are still several details in the affordable housing section that need to be finalized and will be updated as those changes are made.

The revised draft does not represent City staff’s final recommendation. Staff will continue to engage with stakeholders to inform future staff recommendations when the LUCA is presented to the Planning Commission later in 2024.

You may reach out to Josh Steiner, AICP, Senior Planner, with questions, comments, and other feedback on the draft LUCA at jsteiner@bellevuewa.gov or 425-452-4123.

For an overview of the Wilburton Vision Implementation project, the project boundaries, and vision elements, please read our project brochure.

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 key policy moves to support vision implementation.

On July 23, 2024, the City Council adopted the Wilburton Vision Implementation Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA). The CPA advances the vision for the Wilburton TOD area through targeted goals and policies in the Wilburton/N.E. Eighth Street Subarea Plan. This CPA provides a guiding implementation framework for land use code amendments, affordable housing approaches, sustainability, and multimodal transportation in the Wilburton TOD area.

Currently, the city is gathering input on the land use code amendment (LUCA), which will come to the Planning Commission and the City Council later this year. A public review draft of the LUCA was shared in late May, and staff anticipate sharing an updated draft in the coming weeks. Please visit our project webpage on the City of Bellevue website for additional information regarding project milestones and upcoming meetings.
