Regular Meeting 7pm
Shoreline City Hall Council Chambers 
17500 Midvale Ave N

Agenda Highlight

  • Critical Areas Ordinance Update - Subchapter 1 - General Provisions, Related Title 20 Changes, and Follow Up Items.
Join the Planning Commission as they discuss potential updates to the City’s Critical Areas regulations. These regulations protect streams, wetlands, steep slopes and other geologically hazardous areas throughout the City. The City held two public conversations in May to gather comments and suggestions on the critical area regulations. Potential changes to these regulations include updates for consistency with Best Available Science, as well as adding standards for critical area reports and clarifying existing unclear code sections.

Wetlands, Geologic Hazard Areas and related changes to the Shoreline Master Program critical area regulations were reviewed by Planning Commission in June. The draft code sections and staff reports together with other project information can be found online.

Following the September 17 public hearing, Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council on what Critical Areas Ordinance updates to adopt. City Council will review the recommended changes in October and are currently scheduled to consider adoption in November.
For questions or more information, contact Associate Planner Juniper Nammi 206-801-2525.
