Forks Zoning Code Call for Issues, Changes, Amendment Pursuant to Forks Municipal Code Chapter 17.115, the City of Forks is hereby soliciting proposed changes and amendments to the Forks Zoning Code – FMC Title 17. Requested changes could include: • Applicants wanting to obtain change of zoning designations, or change of existing zoning boundaries; • Clarifications of existing code language; • Additions to the land use matrix (FMC 17.15.060); etc. Proposals can be for property within the City already subject to the Forks Zoning Code, as well as property within the Forks Urban Growth Area where zoning has been proposed and would take place upon annexation of such properties into the City of Forks. Individuals wanting proposals to be considered by the Planning Commission need to submit their proposed zoning amendment request in writing to the City prior to 31 December 2026. If the proponent is requesting a change to a property’s current zoning designation, the application must include a list of the name(s), mailing address(es), and property description of the legal owners of property subject to the requested change. The City may propose modifications to the zoning code during this period of time as well addressing interpretation issues, notice requirements, and/or other issues raised over the past year. In addition, the City is in the final stages of the state mandated update of its Comprehensive Plan expected to be finished by in first quarter 2027. Suggestions for Comprehensive Plan updates may be consolidated and incorporated into the review and update process for the Comprehensive Plan. In January, all received requests for amendments will be reviewed by City Staff, as well as reviewed under the State Environmental Policy Act. At its meeting in either February or March 2027, or possibly at a subsequent month, the Forks Planning Commission may hold a public hearing on the proposed amendments. Following that hearing, the Commission would make recommendations on the proposed amendments to the Forks City Council. Any action by the Council would only occur following a properly noted public hearing. If you need information on the zoning code, information on how your property is zoned, or proposed for zoning (outside of the City of Forks but within the Forks Urban Growth Area), or if you have any questions, please contact Mr. Fleck at 360/374-5412, ext. 245; or via e-mail at rodf.forks@forkswas hington.org. Individuals wanting to obtain notices of meetings of the Forks Planning Commission and/or City Council regarding the amendments to the Forks Zoning Code can contact Mr. Fleck as well.
