The City of Puyallup is calling on its residents to participate in a public hearing set by the Planning Commission to discuss proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, which casts a vision for the city up through 2044. This hearing, slated for December 11, 2024, Wednesday, will offer the community a platform to voice their opinions on the shaping of the city's future development. Scheduled to commence at 6:30 p.m., the meeting will take place in the City Council Chambers on the 5th floor of City Hall at 333 S. Meridian.
Citizens can attend the hearing in person or connect remotely via a livestream accessible through the city's official website, Zoom, or YouTube. Details to virtually join the hearing will be provided in the meeting's agenda and published on the city's website. In the lead-up to the meeting, the Planning Division will be accepting written comments at [email protected]. Alternatively, participants may choose to submit their comments or deliver verbal testimony at the hearing itself.
The amendments under review have long-range implications and the Planning Commission will be forwarding their recommendations to the City Council for a decision to be made in January 2025. In conjunction with this process, the Final Environmental Impact Statement, which will provide an in-depth environmental analysis, is also anticipated for release in January 2025. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement is already available for public review on the project's website.
Those seeking additional information or clarity on the public hearing or the Comprehensive Plan are encouraged to reach out to Kendall Wals, Senior Planner. Wals can be contacted at 253-841-5462 or through an email sent to [email protected]. This public hearing represents a key opportunity for Puyallup residents to engage directly with the trajectory of their community's growth and sustainability as it prepares to navigate the coming decades.
Full details about the public hearing and relevant documents, including the Draft Environmental Impact Statement, are available at the City of Puyallup's official website.
