Mountlake Terrace: Temporary freeze on some permits OK’d
A new six-month moratorium prohibits businesses from opening in the city’s freeway tourist zone just east of I-5 through Oct. 30.
The City Council approved the moratorium last week. City officials next fall will update development rules for the area and the moratorium is needed to make sure business follow future guidelines, economic development director Shane Hope said.
The district includes the shopping center Gateway Place, the former Evergreen school site and a few properties near 244th Street SW.
A public hearing on whether to continue the moratorium will be held at 7 p.m. June 7 at the temporary City Council Chambers, 6100 219th Street SW, Suite 200.
