Two urban growth expansions fail to pass
MALTBY — Two urban growth proposals failed last month as Snohomish County Council attempted to balance the need for increased housing with protecting open space.
On Dec. 18, county council member Jared Mead introduced two amended ordinances vetoed by County Executive Dave Somers vetoed the week before.
Both amended ordinances were urban growth proposals, which would have allowed increased residential and public use development in rural areas.
One proposal originally hoped to expand the southwest urban growth area by approximately 215 acres east of Sunset Road.
