Milton Creek reserve maps advanced; joint planning commission/council meeting set for June
Summary
Commissioners reviewed draft mapping for Milton Creek reserve and were told a joint planning commission and city council session is scheduled for June 11 to scope zoning and next steps; commissioners expressed interest in sending a Parks & Trails representative to the June hearing.
The commission received an update on Milton Creek reserve mapping and identified two parcels (labeled Area 2 and Area 3 in the draft map shown to the commission) as potentially difficult to develop and therefore likely candidates for inclusion in the reserve.
A commissioner said he had briefed John and that the transfer station planned for a nearby parcel would not affect the proposed reserve footprint. The commission was told a joint planning commission and city council meeting on the matter is scheduled for June 11; the item will include scoping and zoning discussions and would lead to a formal public hearing if staff recommends zoning changes.
Commission members expressed a preference for an official Parks & Trails representative to attend the June meeting and for staff coordination beforehand to ensure the commission’s interests are included. One commissioner said he had emailed staff for follow‑up and planned to contact port staff (Elliot) as part of ongoing outreach.
No formal motion or zoning action was taken by the commission at this meeting; members framed the update as preparatory work ahead of the June joint session.
