Informational Update: Permit Process Improvements
ID 2017
The Community Planning & Development Department routinely maintains a list of potential clarifying amendments identified by staff, permit applicants and others. Clarifying amendments are generally more targeted and minor in nature than the more complex code amendments often under consideration. This year’s amendments were selected to clean up and increase clarity within the code, and to help implement the codification of requirements related to City Council’s adoption of Traffic

The City of Issaquah and the Issaquah School District have historically partnered in allowing for the joint use of the public facilities and spaces that each agency manages. By doing so, programs and services can be efficiently and effectively offered to the residents and community members who own those public spaces. Joint Use Agreements between Cities and School Districts are common and are seen as a best practice.

Transit Oriented Development Sale Agreement
AB 9212
History of the Opportunity Center In November 2016, the City issued an RFP to redevelop 1550 Newport Way, adjacent to the Issaquah Transit Center and Tibbetts Valley Park, into mixed-rate multifamily housing. This RFP, and subsequent MOUs with the selected developer, included 10,000 sf of commercial space to be conveyed to the City; this is known as the Opportunity Center. The following year, a community needs assessment revealed that there were no public adult behavioral health providers in Issaquah, despite substantial need. The needs assessment noted that cost of services was an additional barrier for behavioral health services, as well as medical and dental health services.
