Summary

Lake Forest Park — Councilors on Nov. 24 opened a policy discussion about whether the city should proactively review and potentially reduce parking minimums, following recent state-level parking-reform conversation and actions taken by nearby cities.
Vice chair presented options and asked whether the planning commission should prioritize parking in its 2026 work plan. "If we decide to go down that road, we would also need to think about mitigation, impact to the community, and what sort of mitigation might there be," the vice chair said.
