Open Space Zone – First Reading of Ordinance 24C-15.

During the October 15, 2024 City Council meeting, the City Council will conduct the first reading of Ordinance No. 24C-15. If approved, this ordinance will establish a new Open Space Zone in Title 19 of the Mercer Island City Code (MICC). The Open Space Zone is one of the implementing code amendments that must be adopted concurrently with the Comprehensive Plan periodic review to ensure the code remains consistent with the Comprehensive Plan without any gaps in timing.

Ordinance No. 24C-15 will implement the Open Space Zone by creating new sections of City Code (MICC 19.05.030 Open Space – OS and MICC 19.05.040 Open Space Development Standards), amending MICC 19.16.010 Definitions and MICC 19.01.040 Zone Establishment, and repealing and replacing MICC Chapter 19 Appendix D – Zoning Map. These code amendments align with amendments to the Land Use Map currently under consideration by the City Council as a part of the Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update.
