The city has formally revised the zoning proposal to place clear limits on residential density within our neighborhoods. This outcome honors the character of our community and demonstrates the impact of our collective persistence. We should remain attentive as these new rules are implemented in the coming months.

The city of Kirkland is in the process of considering changes to certain Zoning Regulations (BN) which currently allows for new construction of UNLIMITED RESIDENTIAL DENSITY TO EXIST IN OR ADJACENT TO KIRKLAND'S RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to DISALLOW ANY ZONING REGULATIONS PROVIDING FOR UNLIMITED RESIDENTIAL DENSITY IN KIRKLAND'S RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS INCLUDING NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS ZONES OR RESIDENTIAL MARKET AREAS.

I strongly support this measure and the limiting of size of developments along our lake shore. As a Kirkland resident in a neighborhood near this development the excess traffic really concerns me. I want development that promotes single family homes and neighborhood building. Large tracts of apartments over small cramped retail is not what Kirkland needs.

Yet another inappropriate and ILLEGAL building project in Kirkland that will further congest our roadways and mar this once beautiful town. Kirkland residents need to stop being complacent to this type of construction - take a stand, it's your city!

Keep our neighborhoods residential. These massive buildings dont fit in with the character of this town at all.
