Agenda for Shoreline City Council Sept 16, 2019

The Regular Shoreline Council Meeting on 09/16/2019 includes one Action Item:

8(a) Public Hearing and Discussion of Ordinance No. 865: Amending the City of Shoreline Commute Trip Reduction Plan

In 2006, the Washington State Legislature passed the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Efficiency Act updating the 1991 Commute Trip Reduction Law, which requires local governments in those counties experiencing the greatest automobile-related air pollution and traffic congestion to develop and implement plans to reduce single-occupant vehicle trips. 

Shoreline adopted a CTR Plan in 2008 which must be updated at least once every four years per state law. The current Plan has an effective period through the 2015-2019 cycle. 

Staff would like to utilize the state CTR Board exemption by extending the City’s current CTR Plan for the 2019-2023 cycle without any additional updates, allowing a thorough review of the plan’s targets and program strategies over the next few years as staff updates theTransportation Master Plan.

There is also one Study Item:

9(a) Discussing Ordinance No. 868 – Establishing a Citywide Moratorium on the Filing, Acceptance, Processing, and/or Approval of Applications for Master Plan Development Permits and Applications for Essential Public Facility Special Use Permits

Staff is still finalizing the final staff report for discussion of this item. We will provide those details when available.
