Records related to Rob Johnson's tenure as a Seattle City Councilmember, with special emphasis on land use and zoning issues.
English
.
Rob Johnson is a 5th generation Seattleite with a degree in political science from Willamette University and a masters in transportation planning from the University of California Los Angeles. Before serving on City Council, he was executive director for the Transportation Choices Coalition where he was involved with campaigns for bus funding and light rail expansion.
Johnson was elected to Council in 2015 to represent Seattle's District 4. While on Council, he chaired the Planning, Land Use, and Zoning Committee and focused on issues including zoning, affordable housing, and transportation. He left office early in April 2019 to work as a transportation advisor for NHL Seattle.
Records from Johnson's tenure on City Council, including memos, reports, correspondence, presentations, and other documents. Much of Johnson's work focused on issues surrounding land use and zoning, and he shepherded the major Mandatory Housing Affordability (MHA) legislation through Council shortly before leaving office. Other topics represented in the records include transportation, deliberations over a new sports arena, the city's comprehensive plan, Sound Transit, homelessness, and University District zoning.
Records are open to the public.

CloneSpy was used to filter and log duplicate files. Duplicate files and non-record material were deleted. CU Spider Scan and DtSearch were used to screen for personal and sensitive information. DROID was used to identify file formats, extract metadata, and facilitate processing decisions. Files were then logged and transferred using Robocopy to preservation storage.
Records are available for use onsite in the SMA reading room, including electronic records through the electronic records search.
