On May 24, 2010 the City Council adopted the Southeast Neighborhoods Subarea Plan.
Adopted Southeast Neighborhoods Subarea Plan
The Planning Commission held the public hearing on February 4 and March 4 and forwarded a recommendation to the City Council. The Council held a study session on May 3 and adopted the plan on May 24. The materials for these meetings are posted in the table below:
Overview & History
Portions of the Briarcrest and Ridgecrest neighborhoods are designated as "Special Study Areas". Properties in special study areas have zoning, but do not have accompanying Comprehensive Plan designations; i.e., no long-range vision. The purpose of the Southeast Neighborhoods Subarea Plan is to rectify the lack of direction in the existing Comprehensive Plan Map.
When the official City Comprehensive Zoning Map was adopted by Ordinance 292 on January 7, 2002, several segments were designated as Special Study Areas. The designation was intended to be a place-holder until the areas could be analyzed in further detail to determine a long-range vision. Two of these are the Briarcrest Special Study Area and the Paramount Special Study Area (located in the Ridgecrest neighborhood).
The City of Shoreline formed a citizen advisory committee to work with staff to develop a subarea plan to provide proper study of these areas, propose a long-range vision, implement zoning (if different than the current zoning) and develop code modifications.
The study area boundaries cover approximately half of the Briarcrest neighborhood and a portion of the Ridgecrest neighborhood, hence the name Southeast Neighborhoods Subarea Plan. Most of this area is defined as a "special study area," except for parcels between 30th Avenue NE and Bothell Way and between 8th and 15th Avenues NE which have existing Comprehensive Plan designations.
