What we do
Our mission
The SUNI Land Use Committee works to make sure Sunnyside grows in ways that strengthen the neighborhood we love. We honor its history, cultural diversity and character, support smart, incremental growth, and make sure long-time residents and newcomers alike have a real voice in what comes next.
How we do it
Review every proposal
As Sunnyside's Registered Neighborhood Organization, SUNI receives City notices for rezonings, variances and liquor and cannabis licenses. We review them, invite applicants to present, and bring neighbors' feedback to the City.
Keep the process open
Monthly public meetings, neighborhood surveys, and tools like Sunnyside Speaks and ThisShouldBe make sure every voice is heard, from long-time residents to newcomers.
Advocate for our streets, parks and public spaces
We push for safe streets, working lights, healthy trees and well-cared-for parks, and pursue the funding to make them happen.
Plan for the long term
We champion sustainable, community-centered design that keeps Sunnyside welcoming, accessible and resilient for generations.
