NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS
City of Lynnwood Code Amendment: City Center +Alderwood Subarea Plan (File No. CAM-25-0003)
The Lynnwood City Council and Planning Commission will conduct individual public hearings on the below-referenced project. Interested community members are invited to attend this public hearing and to provide comments, either orally or in writing.
Project Description: The City of Lynnwood is developing a plan for the future of the City Center and Alderwood areas, which make up the PSRC designated Lynnwood Regional Growth Center. Within the next 20 years this area will be home to two light rail stations, new residential units, and increased job growth. It is destined to become the heart of the city, requiring substantial planning efforts and preparation. The plan will create a more cohesive City Center and Alderwood area in response to major changes in the region and in the city. The City Center + Alderwood Plan will establish a vision and goals for these areas of the City. It will help connect the City Center and Alderwood areas, prepare for the incoming Everett Link Light Rail extension, and create new opportunities for employment and housing.
Location: The CC+A subarea is an approximately 772-acre area in the southeastern portion of Lynnwood, located along the I-5 freeway, approximately between the 44th Avenue W. exit and the I-5/I-405 interchange. Most of the plan area is on the north side of I-5, and includes Lynnwood City Center, Alderwood mall, the LINK Light Rail City Center station, and the future West Alderwood station.
