Shoreline Council approves animal control code and Aldercrest changes

Updated: 3-29-2011

In a 53 minute meeting on Monday, March 28, the Shoreline City Council approved the new animal services code for Shoreline and approved the zoning changes for Aldercrest.

There was some discussion about what level of detail to include in the animal code, but no real issues.

Councilmembers had praise for the coalition which worked for months to create the plan for zoning changes at Aldercrest. The result is that the school district can sell the property at market value, and the neighborhood gets to keep the open land as a park.

The coalition included Shoreline Planning department, Shoreline Economic Development Manager, Shoreline School District, Ballinger Neighborhood, and Friends of Aldercrest.

Friends of Aldercrest is a registered non-profit group formed to support the realization of a park at the Aldercrest site.  They expect to continue their work in the future to help plan and support the new park.
