Regency Centers recently submitted a proposal to develop 18.6 acres of the Issaquah Highlands as an 187,000-square-foot retail center, including restaurants and shops.
The proposed development is roughly located south of Northeast High Street and east of Ninth Avenue Northeast, near the locations for an already-approved grocery store, gas station and 12-screen cinema.
The City of Issaquah is currently reviewing the proposal, which was submitted as a Site Development Permit and a supplemental key plan.
The plan will then be presented and discussed by the Urban Village Development Commission (UVDC) on April 17 and May 1. A decision could occur as early as May 1, 2012 (please note this is the same night as a meeting on Bellevue College).
Since the UVDC members are the decision makers for this permit, they are not allowed to discuss it, except during public meetings.
To comment on the proposal, the public is invited to attend one of the UVDC meetings, or contact Lucy Sloman, Land Development Services Manager, at 425-837-3433 or via e-mail by April 30 at the latest.
Note: The Rivers and Streams Board has cancelled its May 1 meeting.
