There are 15
recommended new zoning regulations for downtown in Phase 1. 20 people interviewed in secret to change all of our downtown.
These
regulations were the result of the secret meetings.
Here's one of the proposed new zoning ideas: "In The Harbor area, permit outright Accessory Apartments maintaining the current design and performance standards".
The Harbor area is every parcel of land inside the thin black lined area. Dark Green, light green, pink, light yellow. Each and every one of these properties could add a small apartment.
Now is the time to order the Planning Department to fix the traffic, once and for all, before allowing more development in downtown Gig Harbor.

Here's another proposed new zoning idea: "Amend
the zoning of 2 parcels adjacent to the intersection and between
Harborview Drive and Soundview Drive from the existing RB-1 designation
to RB-2 or R-3".
Notice the inset box with the tan colored triangle. This is where the Wa State Dept of Fish and Wildlife has identified the home colony of our Gig Harbor Herons. The Haub and Cheney families have decided they want to develop this land. Currently this property is zoned for 4 units. The proposed new zoning would allow 8-12 units adding more vehicles to the already congested Harborview Drive.

Adding 8-12
units would necessitate clear cutting the property that has been home to
Gig Harbor herons for generations. Where there is no wildlife habitat
there will be no wildlife. Increasing units on this property makes it
more valuable than trees or wildlife.
In the past the Haub and Cheney families had an outstanding reputation for caring about communities and giving back.
What has happened here, what about Gig Harbor?

Most folks think it would be
more helpful if common understandable words were used to describe the
potential zoning changes. Of course, pictures and drawings speak 1,000
words.IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND THE MEETING, please send an email to Lindsey Sehmell at the city. sehmell@cityofgigharbor.net Tell her to fix the traffic back ups on Harborview Drive before allowing any new zoning that puts more cars on that road.
