Bellevue Planning Commission approves indefinite continuance for Campania Estates rezoning request

The Bellevue Planning Commission convened on May 22, 2025, at 6 PM, to address key agenda items, including public hearings and administrative approvals. The meeting commenced with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a roll call of commissioners, confirming the presence of all members except for Mr. Sims, whose connection issues were later resolved.

The commission approved the minutes from the previous meeting held on April 24, 2025, with a motion by Mr. Perrin and a second by Mr. Yoder. The vote resulted in a majority approval, with Mr. Ackley abstaining.

Next, the commission accepted all staff reports and related documents into the record without any updates from the staff. A motion to approve these documents was made by Mr. Ackley and seconded by Mr. Sims, which passed unanimously.

The meeting proceeded to two public hearings. The first item, labeled 3a, involved a request to rezone lots 1 through 4 of Campania Estates. The applicant, Dorothy Campania, sought an indefinite continuance to address issues related to the platting. The staff supported this request, and after no public testimony was offered, the commission voted unanimously to approve the indefinite continuance.

The second public hearing, item 3b, focused on the approval of the master plan for the Bellevue Entertainment District. The City of Bellevue served as the applicant. While no updates were provided by the staff, the applicant summarized the request, setting the stage for further discussions.

The meeting concluded with a structured approach to public engagement, emphasizing respectful communication and adherence to time limits for testimony. The commission's decisions reflect a commitment to thorough consideration of community development and planning initiatives. Further actions and follow-ups will be determined in subsequent meetings as the commission continues to address the needs of Bellevue.
