The Central Issaquah Plan was adopted in 2012 to “to guide the evolution of Central Issaquah from a collection of strip malls and office buildings into a more livable, sustainable and balanced mixed use urban area serving everyday essentials to residents, employees and visitors.” The area was segmented into different zones that encouraged density in the Urban Core and Mixed-Use areas to add residential units to the commercial, natural, and other amenities already in place. Since the decade of the Plan adoption, 355 residential units were developed in one apartment community (Atlas Apartments) and no affordable housing units were development within these zones.
