Council signals intent to annex 19.7-acre Gosal Farms property
Summary
Lynden's council approved a resolution of intent to annex a 19.7-acre property at 8700 Double Ditch Road, proposing Residential Mixed Density zoning and an anticipated 75—100 housing units; the Boundary Review Board review is the next step.
Lynden Mayor Scott Korthuis and the City Council voted 6-0 on Sept. 3 to approve Resolution 24-1103, indicating the city's intent to annex a 19.7-acre parcel owned by Gosal Farms, Inc. at 8700 Double Ditch Road. Councilor Brent Lenssen moved the resolution; Councilor Gary Vis seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
City documents presented to council describe the parcel as contiguous to incorporated portions of Lynden and tied to the Pepin Lite plan. Staff said the property is proposed to be zoned Residential Mixed Density, which allows single-family and duplex housing types, and estimated an anticipated density of approximately 75 to 100 new housing units. The application had been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee and the Planning Commission, which recommended annexation (PC Resolution 24-04). The council noted that the Boundary Review Board will review the proposal before a final annexation ordinance returns to council.
