Sno Co considers long list of changes
The Snohomish County Council will hold two public hearings this Wed., July 8, at 1:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. concerning a plethora of county code changes.
Among the potential alterations is the elimination of the fully-contained community code, also referred to as mini-cities.
Another potential ordinance would amend the current fully-contained community code. It was created out of a series of stakeholder discussions earlier this year. Potential amendments ranged from increasing open space requirements to 65 percent, requiring a mini-city to be within 2.5 miles of a state highway and specifying traffic mitigation.
Although no applications for a mini-city were filled prior to the county's emergency freeze on mini-city applications almost a year ago, the McNaughton Group was considering the concept for its Lake Goodwin property, and developer Dave Barnett was considering it for his Lake Roesiger property.
Another ordinance would reduce the density permitted in rural cluster subdivisions.
The meetings will be held in the first floor meeting room of the Robert J. Drewel Building, at 3000 Rockefeller Ave., in Everett.
A full list of all the proposed changes and the ordinances are available at http://www1.co.snohomish.wa.us/Departments/Council/Information/Current_Projects/.
