The City has hosted three major public events relating to the Overlake Neighborhood Plan Update, including a public design workshop in May 2006 and two open houses.

The purpose of the public design workshop in May 2006 was to inform the development of a concept plan for the Overlake shopping area. Approximately 50 citizens participated in this event. For more information on the event and the concept plan that resulted from it, please visit the Design Charrette page.

The purpose of the November 2006 open house was to present three alternatives for Overlake in 2030. These alternatives maintain the existing vision for the neighborhood and incorporate many of the main ideas that resulted from the public design workshop. For more information on this open house and the alternatives, please visit the November 2006 Open House page.

The purpose of the March 2007 open house was to present strategies for action and implementation steps related to the Action Alternative, as well as the results of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) released on March 23.  For more information on this open house and the strategies for action, please visit the March 2007 Open House page.
