The Mercer Island Design Commission was established in 1972 as an advisory commission to the City Council with regulatory power on matters related to design in the City's commercial, office, and multi-family residential areas. Specifically, its mission is to promote quality community design and enhance construction and maintenance practices that will create an aesthetically attractive, easily accessible, and economically healthy environment throughout Mercer Island.
City design guidelines apply to all business, office, and multi-family residential construction within and out of Town Center, as well as schools and public facilities in residential neighborhoods.
Meetings
The Design Commission meets on the first Wednesday, as needed, of each month at 6:00 pm. Board and Commission meetings are held in a hybrid format. The public is welcome to join meetings in person at Mercer Island Community & Event Center, 8236 SE 24th Street, Mercer Island, or remotely using Zoom.
