Workshops set on idea of Fountain District urban village
Four public workshops will be held on a proposal to create urban village regulations for the Fountain District.
The workshops will be held at Fountain Community Church, 2100 Broadway.
Each will run 6 to 8 p.m. on these dates:
April 1 — Topics: introduction, district character, urban village boundary.
April 15 — Topics: streets, neighborhood connections, public spaces.
April 22 — Topics: land uses, design, scale, neighborhood transitions.
May 6 — Topics: summary of input and discussion of alternatives.
If the project stays on schedule, urban village details will be unveiled at a neighborhood meeting in early fall, with Planning Commission hearings in late fall and City Council hearings early in 2010.
Information on the effort will soon be posted at the city of Bellingham’s Web site. Go to cob.org and search for “urban village planning.”
For more details, contact city planner Katie Franks at 778-8388 or kfranks@cob.org.
