Light Rail Community Zone (Hearing) Matthew Siddons, Senior Planner, Matthew.Siddons@snoco.org The Planning Commission will hold a hearing on the proposed Light Rail Community (LRC) zone. The LRC zone will be the implementing zone for lands under the Light Rail Community Future Land Use designation (“LRC FLU designation”). The LRC zone is specific to the Urban Core Subarea in the southwest unincorporated urban growth area (UGA) of Snohomish County. The LRC zone is to be applied generally within one-half mile of planned light rail stations. The LRC zone supports high-density residential, commercial, office, and community service uses that are pedestrian and transit oriented and facilitate active forms of transportation. There are proposed amendments to existing SCC provisions including site access, landscaping requirements, and parking requirements. Under general development standards, new sections are being proposed for inclusionary housing and amenity area that will apply to both the LRC and the Mixed Use Corridor (MUC) zone. New definitions are being proposed to implement the LRC zone regulations that will be applicable across Title 30 SCC. The County’s official zoning map will be amended to include the LRC zone.  G.
