Public Hearing - Garden Supply Retail and Nursery Uses (Bellevue Nursery) Land Use Code Amendment
Bellevue City Hall - 450 110th Ave NE, City Council Chamber, WA
Garden Supply Retail and Nursery Uses (Bellevue Nursery) Land Use Code Amendment (LUCA)
The City Council is considering a LUCA that, if adopted, will legitimize garden supply retail and nursery uses that have been in operation continually since before 1955 in the R-4, R-10, R-15, R-20, and R-30 Districts. Once the garden supply retail and nursery uses are discontinued, the underlying residential zoning will control the uses that are permitted on the parcels where the garden supply retail and nursery uses were located. The legitimization of these two uses as primary uses allows for subordinate uses to be established if they are on the same parcel, related to the primary use, and within 25 percent of the floor area of the primary use. The adoption of this LUCA also allows the owners to clear the site and rebuild if the garden supply retail or nursery uses remain in continuous operation.
This LUCA is following the adoption process for a development regulation under the State Growth Management Act (GMA) and is being integrated with review required under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The staff report analyzing the LUCA against decision criteria for amendments to the text of the Land Use Code and summarizing SEPA review process is attached.
Approvals Required: City Council approval.
SEPA: Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) previously issued during the Bellevue Nursery Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) process.
