  • Reconnaissance Level Historic Property Survey of Downtown Walla Walla, Washington FINAL REPORT
    Reconnaissance Level Historic Property Survey of Downtown Walla Walla, Washington FINAL REPORT Principal Investigator and Author: Jill Dowling, MHP 08/14/2008 City of Walla Walla, Washington Contract W12-07-018; Project funded by Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation INTRODUCTION Executive Summary The vision of the Washington State Preservation Plan acknowledges that “The cultural and historic resources of a community tell the story of its past, a past that makes any single community distinct from all other places.” (p. 1) When the National Trust for Historic Preservation designated Walla Walla one of America’s Great American Main Streets in 2001, it documented the dramatic change that began in the 1980s, when a wave of public concern and private investment turned downtown from a near wasteland with a 30% vacancy rate into a showplace of rehabilitation and a symbol of community pride. That reputation has endured, and the intrinsic value of the City’s past is largely what creates the sense of place that has attracted national recognition and substantial investment. At many junctures in history, Walla Walla’s unique location and resources facilitated development booms. Amongst the earliest Washington territories to thrive, the downtown commercial corridor served as a backdrop to the birth of the state and evolved to meet the needs and opportunities to service wealth generated by gold mining and agricultural success. Today, wine and tourism industry progress promise more investment in downtown Walla Walla. Stabilized by three substantial academic institutions, a thriving arts community, continued agricultural success, and the appeal of its historic past, the same buildings that served early commercial enterprises stand poised to meet today’s opportunities.

The update includes the following: ▪ Revisions to the Walla Walla Comprehensive Plan Elements to address growth during the 2018- 2038 planning period; land use plan and zoning changes to accommodate growth targets for population, housing, and employment; transportation and capital facilities plans, and housekeeping amendments. ▪ Amendments and updates to comprehensive plan elements to ensure consistency with the City’s review of its plans in response to GMA requirements and Countywide Planning Policies. ▪ Consideration of changes to the Urban Growth Area (UGA) to accommodate new growth in an area that is easier to serve with urban infrastructure and remove an area that is difficult to serve and can only support low-density development. ▪ Updates to zoning and development regulations for consistency with the updated future land use plan. To consider alternative means to accomplish the purpose and objectives of the update, the following alternatives have been developed: ▪ Alternative 1 No Action: This is a required alternative under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). This alternative accommodates medium growth through 2038 within the current City limits and UGA boundaries. Minimal policy changes would be made to update the plan to meet new GMA requirements, otherwise no other changes would be made to update the Comprehensive Plan.
