Eastlake Subarea Plan
Purpose

The intent of the Eastlake Subarea Plan is to guide public and private investment in the area, while preserving and enhancing the historic character of Eastlake. The Subarea Plan, adopted May 27, 2003, includes the update and expansion of the Eastlake Master Plan, an advisory document adopted in 1990 to guide development and improvements in Eastlake. In conjunction with the Eastlake Subarea Plan, City Council adopted amendments to the existing Eastlake Preservation / Revitalization Zoning Districts, called the Eastlake Zoning Districts, to codify key elements of the Subarea Plan.

The Eastlake Subarea Plan establishes goals and recommendations related to transportation, parks, open space and trails, land use, historic conservation and urban design, water and sewer, and economic development. Significant elements of the Subarea Plan include:

  • Background Information

  • Area-Wide Improvements

  • The Eastlake Neighborhood

  • Implementation Steps

  • Updates from 1990 Eastlake Master Plan

Area
  • Subarea boundary encompasses the land from Lafayette Street east to Steele Street, from 122nd Avenue north to 128th Avenue.

  • The Eastlake Neighborhood has been identified, which includes the historic town of Eastlake as well as the planned transit stop area west of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.
