Why it matters

The Comprehensive Plan and the related development code set the ground rules for how Bothell grows, including where buildings can go and what they can look like. How the council resolves its remaining questions can therefore affect future development across the city. Analysis: This is a citywide planning matter, so the outcome of these discussions could influence land-use decisions in Bothell for years to come.
