Hearing on mixed‑use development ordinance (25‑1704) delayed to Feb. 3 after notice error

City of Lynden City Council · January 21, 2025

Summary

Council opened the public hearing on Ordinance 25‑1704 (amending small‑scale mixed‑use development rules) but tabled public comment and discussion until Feb. 3, 2025 because the public notice did not meet the required 10‑day publication period; motion to table passed 7‑0.

Ordinance 25‑1704 would restore a portion of code inadvertently deleted in a previous amendment and make a targeted revision to small‑scale mixed‑use development regulations. Council had set a hearing for Jan. 21, but staff reported the public notice was not published a full 10 days prior to the hearing as required by code.

Because of that notice error, Councilor Brent Lenssen moved and Councilor Kyle Strengholt seconded a motion to open the hearing but table public comment and discussion until Feb. 3, 2025 so proper notice can be completed; the motion passed 7‑0. The ordinance hearing will resume on the new date with proper notice.
