The Department of Community Development administered the City's comprehensive plan and provided direction and support for the City's physical and economic development through community planning. DCD was established in 1969 and assumed the responsibilities of the City Planning Commission and the Urban Renewal Program. In 1972, the Office of Economic Development was created in the Department to provide information to businesses that were expanding or relocating in Seattle. DCD was the lead agency for implementing various types of grant funded projects, such as Neighborhood Improvement Program, Targeted Neighborhood Assistance Program, and Neighborhood Development Program. DCD was abolished in 1992 and its programs were relocated in the Department of Neighborhoods, Department of Housing and Human Services, Planning Department, and other agencies. DCD records include material from the City Planning Commission, Zoning Commission, Metropolitan Arts Commission, Board of Adjustment, and Urban Renewal Program.

Files of staff from the Office of Neighborhood Planning and Neighborhood Assistance Division concerning neighborhood plans, neighborhood issues and problems, business development, traffic, and land use. Records include correspondence, notes, studies, surveys, draft plans, press releases, committee files, community council files, drawings, clippings and photographs. Neighborhoods include Delridge, Eastlake, Georgetown, Greenwood, Rainier/Genesee, and South Park.

Arranged in two sub-series, neighborhood files and subject files.

Records are open to the public.
