body
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Frank Slusser
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Ken Klein 8/18/25
PURPOSE: To consider area-wide rezones to more fully implement the Urban Medium Density Residential and Urban High Density Residential designations adopted on the future land use map in the Snohomish County 2024 Comprehensive Plan.
BACKGROUND: The proposed Area-wide Rezones ordinance amends the official zoning map for Snohomish County to rezone approximately 3,500 acres within the Southwest Urban Growth Area to Low Density Multiple Residential (LDMR) and Multiple Residential (MR) zoning. This proposal more fully implements and provides consistency with the Urban Medium Density Residential (UMDR) and Urban High Density Residential (UHDR) designations on the future land use (FLU) map in the adopted 2024 Snohomish County Growth Management Act Comprehensive Plan. This project will streamline permitting processes by eliminating the need for site-specific rezone approvals for individual housing development projects in order to build to the planned densities where different zoning is still in place.
