# Bothell Planning Commission Meeting - November 4, 2026

The Bothell Planning Commission meeting on November 4, 2026, covered the Housing Action Plan, landmark preservation code updates, and the 2026 annual Comprehensive Plan amendments, including the Downtown Subarea Plan. The commission approved the Housing Action Plan findings and recommendation for City Council consideration; the plan updates the city’s 2018 housing strategy. The landmark preservation code item was a study session for feedback only, with staff planning further review and council discussion. Commissioners supported streamlining and clarifying the code while maintaining a strong preservation program and board role; no action was taken on that item.

Staff presented proposed Comprehensive Plan updates, including revised references to city plans, utility planning information, and a consolidation of downtown land-use designations without changing growth targets. The Downtown Subarea Plan sets a 20-year policy direction; staff said code updates would be an initial implementation step, with CDBG funding under consideration for some efforts, but no amount or allocation was specified. The transcript does not capture a commission vote on the Comprehensive Plan recommendation. A City Council public hearing was scheduled for November 17 and adoption consideration for December 8. No contract award, solicitation, vendor selection, or other procurement action was identified; the Recology service agreement was noted as extended to 2035 as part of a plan-reference update.
