March 29 Hearing Regarding Fairhaven/Happy Valley Boundary & Zoning Change

The Bellingham Planning Commission will hold a hearing Thursday, March 29th at 7:00 pm in City Council Chambers to discuss moving the current line generally located in the 1400 block of 14th St into the Happy Valley Neighborhood and rezoning that property from Residential, Single to Commercial.  The Planning Commission will take testimony and make a recommendation to City Council, which hold another hearing and make the final decision.

The changes would allow this property, to the east of the Fairhaven Haggen store, to be developed in conjunction with the Haggen store property.

The Fairhaven Neighborhood is currently supporting the proposal, while the Happy Valley Neighborhood is opposing it.  The Edgemoor Neighborhood has not taken a position.

If you wish to comment, attend the hearing or submit written comments prior to March 27th.
