Meydenbauer Bay Project

Receive e-mail alerts about actions in this project

In 2007, after several years of acquiring land for a new waterfront park at Meydenbauer Bay, Bellevue began planning the park and a land use plan to reconnect the waterfront with nearby upland areas.

Park Board begins plan review
The draft Meydenbauer Bay Park and Land Use Plan moves to the Parks & Community Services Board, with recommendations from the Steering Committee. The Park Board is scheduled to address the project during the next three meetings, beginning Feb. 9 at 6 p.m., City Hall, Room 1E-113. Park Board meeting agendas and background information

The Park Board will hold a public hearing on the proposed plan on March 9. At its April 13 meeting, the Park Board is scheduled to take all input under advisement, deliberate and develop a formal recommendation for the master plan to transmit to the City Council. Additional information regarding the March and April meetings will be provided closer to the meeting dates.

Steering Committee Recommendation
On November 19, 2009, after 21 public meetings and the release of the final environmental impact statement, the Meydenbauer Bay Park and Land Use Plan Steering Committee issued its final recommendation for the project. The Steering Committee recommendation is part of the draft master plan for this long-envisioned community asset.

In 2007 the City Council appointed a steering committee to ensure the project would be carried out according to the community's vision.

Next Steps
Several steps remain before the master planning process is complete. These include the following (schedule is subject to change):

Park Board review and recommendation (February - April 2010)
City Council adoption of master plan (May 2010)
Planning Commission review and recommendation on related Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Code amendments (late 2010)
Council adoption of Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Code amendments (late 2010)
