Citizen Committees
Bellevue City Government includes appointed offices, permanent City boards, commissions and committees filled by Bellevue residents who are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by a majority of the Common Council.
The Planning and Zoning Commission advises the Common Council on crucial land use, planning, and transportation decisions. In addition, the Planning Commission makes final decisions on select land use and development applications.
The BURA organization implements programs of redevelopment and needed public improvements within the city’s Revenue Allocation Area. Project decisions are in conjunction to the Bellevue Urban Renewal Plan, adopted by City Council in 2006.
The Parks Committee makes recommendations about park policy to the Common Council and City Staff. In collaboration with other City departments, the Committee guides the maintenance, design, uses, and future vision of Bellevue’s park spaces.
