A request for an amendment to the zoning code in the Town Center area is among the items on the agenda for the Thursday, April 29 Mountlake Terrace City Council work/study session agenda.

An application has been submitted requesting a change to code text for the Town Center Zoning Districts, which would remove the restriction on locating medical/health care uses on the ground floor of designated frontages and corners. The proposed amendment would expand the allowed location of those services to include the first 30 feet immediately at the corner of the designated intersections in the TC-1, TC-2, and TC-3 Zones.

The zoning restriction currently applies to six corner storefront intersection locations. A total of 18 corners are subject to the limitation since those intersections have either two or four corners affected by designation.

Additional items on the April 29 agenda include:

– Discussion of an art deaccession policy

– Review of the 2021 first quarter police department report
