Snohomish County has won an extension of time to comply with a spring 2011 ruling that the county must change the zoning of the Point Wells property.

An Israeli company wants to build a 3,081-unit condominium project on the former industrial site in the southwest corner of unincorporated southwest Snohomish County.

The county has rezoned the site as an “urban center” and accepted an application to build the project under that zoning.

The state Growth Management Hearings Board ruled in the spring of 2011 that the zoning violated state law and ordered the county to redo the zoning within one year.

When the county didn’t meet the deadline, it sought and won an extension through late October to bring the zoning into compliance with state law.

The area is in Woodway’s urban growth area, but Town Administrator Eric Faison said Thursday that the town has no influence over the zoning.
