  • Draft Environmental Impact Statement
    DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT CITY OF BELLEVUE FEBRUARY 2018 for the Wilburton Commercial Area Land Use and Transportation Project Draft Environmental Impact Statement Date of Draft EIS Issuance February 1, 2018 Date Comments are Due on the Draft EIS March 19, 2018 DRAFT EIS ⋅ WILBURTON COMMERCIAL AREA LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION PROJECT FEBRUARY 2018 February 1, 2018 Subject: Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Bellevue’s Wilburton Commercial Area Land Use and Transportation Project Dear Reader: The City of Bellevue has identified the Wilburton Commercial Area as a future urban neighborhood providing new opportunities for businesses, entertainment, and housing, exhibiting a unique design aesthetic, and offering new transportation modes and connections. Wilburton is located between two high growth centers in Bellevue—Downtown and BelRed—and is slated for major transit, pedestrian, and cyclist connectivity improvements that will serve as a catalyst for change. East Link light rail will offer high capacity transit connectivity to the region by 2023; the Eastside Rail Corridor (ERC) will create a regional non-motorized connection for pedestrians and cyclists; and the City-led initiative of the Grand Connection will create opportunities to reconnect Downtown and the Wilburton Commercial Area for cyclists and pedestrians. Based on a vision developed with the guidance of a Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC), amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Code, and Zoning Map will be made for City Council consideration that would facilitate investment and redevelopment. To help the CAC and other City decision makers consider the environmental implications of land use and transportation options, this Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS) studies three alternatives: No Action Alternative: The No Action Alternative is required by the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and assumes the current Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Code, and Zoning Map are retained.
