body

DEPARTMENT:  Council

 

ORIGINATOR:  Ryan Hembree for Chair Nehring

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  N/A

 

PURPOSE: To consider area-wide rezones to more fully implement the Urban Medium Density Residential designation adopted on the future land use map in the Snohomish County 2024 Comprehensive Plan in the Esperance area.

 

BACKGROUND: The proposed rezone ordinance amends the Esperance area’s official zoning map for Snohomish County to rezone approximately 450 acres within the Southwest Urban Growth Area to Low Density Multiple Residential (LDMR). This proposal more fully implements and provides consistency with the Urban Medium Density Residential (UMDR) designation 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.
