Public Hearing for Tideflats Interim Regulations Extension on October 23

--City Council Meeting will be Held at the Rialto Theater-- 

The Tacoma City Council will hold a public hearing during the City Council meeting on Tuesday, October 23, 2018, to gather public comments on the proposed 6-month extension of the current Tideflats Interim Regulations. This City Council meeting will be held at the Rialto Theater (310 S. 9th St.) and will begin at 5 PM with the public hearing beginning at approximately 5:30 PM.

The intent of the interim regulations, which were enacted by the City Council in November 2017, is to limit the establishment of certain new industrial uses, limit potential residential encroachment on industrial uses within the Port of Tacoma and Tideflats area, and prevent the conversion of industrial properties to non-industrial uses, until such time as the Tideflats Subarea Plan is completed.

Written comments may also be submitted at the hearing, or beforehand to the City Clerk’s Office at cityclerk@cityoftacoma.org or 733 Market St., Room 11, Tacoma, WA 98402, by 1 PM on Tuesday, October 23, 2018.

To review the adopted Tideflats Interim Regulations, visit cityoftacoma.org/tideflatsinterim, or contact Senior Planner Stephen Atkinson at (253) 591-5531 or satkinson@cityoftacoma.org for more information.
