Bellevue Development Committee Meetings
The purpose of the BDC meetings is to have an inclusive forum where the development industry and others can provide input and collaborate with city staff about concerns, challenges and solutions related to permitting, entitlement and code amendments. Participants acknowledge and agree that while communications in these meetings may refer to an actual permit, land use or code amendment project, they are for illustrative purposes only. As such, these communications are not considered comments or responses for any associated project and will not be kept as part of the project record or file.
