The Planning Commission meeting on February 19 kicks off the adoption phase of the project, Phase 3, and will include a series of meetings with Planning Commission and City Council. The scheduled meeting dates include:

• Feb. 19 - Planning Commission Study Session (Lakewood Speaks link)

• April 9 – Planning Commission Public Hearing
• April 23 – Planning Commission Public Hearing
• May 12 – City Council Public Hearing

Please note:

• The draft materials submitted for the study sessions include the draft policy text and the draft future land use map only. The focus of the study sessions is to get final feedback on the draft Vision Elements, Future Land Use Elements and Glossary before these are incorporated into the formatted version of the Plan.

• The formatted version of the Plan will bring these core elements together with images and supplemental narrative and this will be shared in the spring prior to the Public Hearings currently scheduled for April 9 and April 23 with Planning Commission and May 12 with City Council.
