DATE OF NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING: October 31, 2018
APPLICANT: City of Ferndale
APPLICATION NUMBER: 18002-CPA, 18011-SE
PROJECT LOCATION: Various Locations – Citywide
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
1. Donna Lane/ Thornton Street: The proposed change would affect two parcels. The land use designation for one ~4.45 acre parcel would change from Commercial to Low Density Residential, with an associated rezone, and one ~5.2 acre parcel would change from Low Density Residential to Commercial, also with an associated rezone.
2. Repeal of Outdated Floodway Designation: In the 1980’s the City of Ferndale adopted a Floodway land use designation and a corresponding Floodway zone. These designations were established prior to, and separate from, FEMA designations with identical naming conventions. The City’s Floodway designations are within the 100-Year Floodplain but do not reflect FEMA modeling for the floodway. As proposed, the City’s designations would be removed and the underlying properties would be rezone based on the adjacent zoning. The City’s Floodplain Management (Ferndale Municipal Code 15.24) regulations would continue to apply, and the City would continue to use the most updated FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps to limit development within the 100-Year Floodplain.
3. South Portal Way (Change from Commercial to High Density Residential land use designation, and associated rezones for approximately twenty acres of land): Properties that had previously provided frontage along Highway 99 through Ferndale at the south end of Portal Way just north of the Nooksack River have been designated for commercial purposes since the advent of Ferndale’s zoning in the 1970’s. The construction of Interstate Five removed this highway frontage, resulting in a dead-end street with little potential for commercial uses. The proposed comprehensive plan change would change the underlying land use designation and zoning from Commercial to High Density Residential.
REQUESTED ACTION(S): The applicant requests approval by the City of Ferndale for the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and associated rezones.
