Help plan the future of Shoreline by serving on the Planning Commission!
The City Council is looking for volunteers to serve on the Planning Com-mission for four-year terms beginning in April 2020.
The volunteers who serve on the Shoreline Planning Commission provide recommendations to the City Council on land use, growth, and development issues.
The Commission addresses key questions that affect the quality of life in Shoreline, such as:
No technical background or experience in land use is required. Important qualifications are an ability to listen and work well with others; a willingness to prepare and read staff reports prior to the meetings; and a commitment to regular attendance and active participation at the meetings.
The King County Landmarks and Heritage Commission is a nine-member citizen board charged with designating landmarks in unincorporated King County and in those cities and towns in King County that have entered into an interlocal agreement with the County for historical preservation services.

- How will the City allow alternate housing types that fit within our established neighborhoods?
