The R The Role of the Planning Commission le of the Planning Commission
AGAIN: The Housing Strategy Plan is our prioritized work program for housing. It is not an Action Plan. The Planning Commission is tasked with making difficult decisions about accommodating growth in Sammamish. The Housing Strategy Plan will set the framework for implementing our Housing policies in our City. The Commission should consider what is important and how important it is.
