Mt. Washington Improvement Association: Committees
The Land Use and Zoning Committee
The MWIA Land Use and Zoning Committee helps to preserve the character of our neighborhood by acting as an oversight agent for any proposed zoning changes or exceptions. The Planning Department notifies the Zoning Committee whenever a property owner in our neighborhood applies for a variance or change in zoning. The Committee meets periodically to review such changes, and makes recommendations to the full Board for a position where appropriate. The City’s Planning Commission and Zoning Board always inquire regarding the position of the neighborhood, which often influences their decision.
Public Safety
The Mt. Washington Community is located within the boundaries of the Northern Police District. Any emergency incident should be reported to 911, that is, anything that requires immediate police attention. Any incident that involves a non-emergency situation should be reported to 311. If you are ever a victim of a crime, it is important that it be reported, even if you don't plan to make an insurance claim. We keep statistics of any reported incidents and in order to be accurate and safe, we must know what is happening.
Mt. Washington is a very safe neighborhood; however, it is necessary to adhere to common sense safety precautions. Items of value or of perceived value should not be left in cars, nor should doors to sheds or homes be left unlocked.
We have an active Citizens’ Patrol that involves a 2 1/2 hour commitment about every 6 months. The patrol involves driving around the neighborhood as either a driver or observer with a lighted sign on the car. Our patrol is headquartered at the Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital. We also have a very loose type of walking patrol that involves walking (at your own schedule) and wearing a bright orange vest. You can find out more about either of these programs by calling the Chair of the Public Safety Committee.
