City council Thursday to discuss zoning designation change for three properties near downtown

The Mountlake Terrace City Council will discuss a site-specific zoning map amendment for three adjoining properties located in the 5400 block of 240th Street Southwest among other items at its March 17 work/study session.

The proposed map amendment would change the zoning of those parcels from their existing designation as Single-Household Residential, with an 8,400 square feet minimum lot area (RS 8400), to Single-Household Residential-Transitional (RS-T). The transitional district is a single-household residential district zoning designation that includes townhomes and commercial parking lots in order to provide a transition between traditional single-household residential districts and the city’s Community Business Downtown (BC/D) zoning district. RS designated zones generally allow for the same uses, but townhomes are not permitted in RS 8400 zoned areas.

Additional items on Thursday night’s agenda include:

– Review of Westside Water Main Improvements Project bid submittals

– Review of consolidating code enforcement provisions ordinance

– Review of professional services agreement for permit, inspection, and land-use management software

– Review of Tour de Terrace agreement (tentative)
