Kenmore council renews interim rules near Swamp Creek for six months
Summary
Kenmore City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 250625 to extend interim land‑use regulations for parcels near Swamp Creek, SR 522 and 80th Avenue Northeast for an additional six months.
Kenmore City Council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 250625 on a motion to extend interim land‑use regulations for certain parcels near Swamp Creek in the area roughly bounded by SR 522 and 80th Avenue Northeast. The ordinance extends the existing interim regulations for an additional six months.
Council took the action after a brief staff presentation and a public hearing with no speakers. Community Development staff described the item as a renewal of previously adopted interim rules while the city continues work on the longer-term regulatory updates.
The motion to adopt Ordinance 250625 carried on a roll call vote: Councilmember Culver—yes; Councilmember Marshall—yes; Councilmember Lutzis—yes; Councilmember Sassen—yes; Councilmember Shrubneck—yes; Deputy Mayor O'Kane—yes; Mayor Herbig—yes. The clerk recorded the ordinance as passing unanimously.
The council indicated staff will bring related work on the docket — including permanent regulations and other planning items — back to the council later in 2025 as part of the city’s comprehensive work program.
The extension maintains the interim development controls already in place for the affected parcels while staff continues the scheduled review and public process.
