Public documents library
A curated library of the public planning materials, reports, and supporting studies that help explain the hotel proposal and the larger four-season resort discussion.
Public documents library
This page should not overwhelm readers with raw PDFs. It should organize documents in a way that makes the public record understandable. Each document entry should include a one-paragraph plain-language summary, a clear source label, and a short note explaining why the document matters to the proposed hotel and to the question of whether Friday Harbour can truly operate as a stronger four-season resort.
Official applications
Include the current OPA and ZBA files tied to the hotel proposal and related amendment package.
Planning studies
Organize transportation, parking, environmental, and justification studies so people can see how the project is being defended.
Renderings and concepts
Show concept plans and renderings that help readers compare the older and newer hotel visions.
Appeal / Tribunal materials
Where relevant, list public appeal documents and explain their significance in simple terms.
