185th Subarea decisions scheduled for Monday's council meeting

The Shoreline City Council will hold their regular council meeting on Monday, March 16, 2015 – at 7:00pm in the Council Chambers at Shoreline City Hall, 17500 Midvale Ave N. Parking in city parking lot.

The entire agenda is about the rezone of a large area about the planned 185th Street Sound Transit station.

Agenda Highlights

  • Adoption of Ord. No. 706 – 185th Street Station Area Development Code Amendment and Zoning Map
  • Adoption of Ord. No. 702 – 185th Street Station Area Plan, Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Land Use Map
  • Adoption of Ord. No. 707 – 185th Street Station Area Planned Action


There has been a lot of interest from the rezone, which would affect almost 2,000 residents in the neighborhoods of Echo Lake, North City, and Meridian Park. Proposed zoning would allow for high-rise, high density builds in these single-family, wooded neighborhoods.

The council is encouraging written comments, before the meeting, and warning that public comment time at the meeting may be limited. At previous rezone meetings, the Council has allowed everyone to speak, going over the time allotted for comments on the agenda.

A similar rezone process is moving forward for the 145th Street Sound Transit station area.

  1. Show Up and Speak Out, Shoreline! Double, triple, quadruple the number of speakers. Let's not just overflow the lobby, let's spill out into the front steps and back courtyard! Fanfare encouraged! We will chant LET US SPEAK until every last person is heard!

  2. Do you need to sign up to speak? If so, how?
