Historical Note
The Neighborhood Planning Office (NPO) was created in 1994 to implement
the goals of the Comprehensive Plan for neighborhood planning. The office began
work in January 1994 with a goal of creating 30 neighborhood plans in four
years. The program was extended for a fifth year, after which the office was
folded into the Department of Neighborhoods (DON). Throughout the planning
process the NPO worked with the Office of Management and Planning (OMP) and
DON. Each neighborhood was assigned a staff member to oversee the planning
process, and consultants were hired to facilitate communication between
community members. Areas of priority were urban centers, manufacturing and
industrial centers, urban villages, and distressed areas.
The Neighborhood Planning Advisory Committee (NPAC) was established by
the City Council in 1994 to assist with the development and implementation of
the Neighborhood Planning Office. The Committee was made up of one person from
each neighborhood district commission and up to six people chosen by the
Director of the Department of Neighborhoods to provide diversity and citywide
perspective. Members included representatives from the City Neighborhood
Council, District Councils, the Seattle City Council, directors of City
departments, and delegates from neighborhood planning groups. NPAC and NPO
worked together to create guidelines and to plan the phases of the Neighborhood
Planning Project.
The NPAC records (1.2 cubic feet) pertain to committee meetings and
contain agendas, notes, and minutes, plus correspondence. Included in the files
are drafts of planning guidelines, program overviews and project updates,
funding and budget information, lists of committee members with short
biographies, and maps.
Files are arranged in reverse chronological order by meeting type or
correspondence.
Records are open to the public.
