Open House
On October 29, 2009, a public open house was held to introduce the Lakeview and Central Houghton Neighborhood Plan update process. Residents, business owners, and representatives from educational facilities participated in a unique exercise known as the World Cafe that involved simultaneous group conversations about the future land use, transportation, housing, and retail features and 10 to 20 year vision for each neighborhood.

Background
This fall the City of Kirkland began working with residents within the Lakeview Neighborhood to update the neighborhood plan chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. The current Lakeview Neighborhood Plan was last updated in 1985. Neighborhood plans set forth the future vision and growth goals and policies related to land use, housing, transportation, and natural environment issues unique to the neighborhood and within the context of the citywide general goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and State Growth Management Act requirements. |

Neighborhood Plan Update Objectives
- Develop a neighborhood vision statement, new goals, and policies
- Implement new policies with Zoning Code amendments
- Encourage and provide opportunities for residents to actively engage and take ownership in the process
- Conduct a reasonably fast update process that allows for public input but will not hold up other neighborhood plan update projects
- Combine private amendment requests with the study issues so that they do not dominate the plan amendment process
