2026-9-8 Snoqualmie Community Development Committee Meeting

The Snoqualmie Community Development Committee discussed at its September 8, 2026 meeting (the metadata lists September 9 UTC) whether to schedule a Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC) presentation for the full City Council on the regional housing-allocation process and Snoqualmie’s assignment. The committee recommended forwarding the presentation for the September 14 Council agenda, noting that it could inform comprehensive-plan and housing-element work. The committee also approved the July 20, 2026 minutes; no procurement awards, bids, or purchasing decisions were identified.

The committee reviewed Safeway Store, Inc.’s retroactive sign-deviation request for its pharmacy sign at 34828 Douglas Street. Members raised concerns about the applicant installing the sign before obtaining approval, fairness to applicants who followed the process, and precedent. Staff noted that retroactive permits incur double the plan-review fee. The committee made no decision and requested that Safeway or its sign contractor attend a future meeting before the request proceeds. Members also discussed the Planning Commission and committee work plan, including comprehensive-plan and zoning updates, sign-code revisions, data-center regulation, and food-truck code work; staff described capacity and scheduling constraints. No procurement activity was identified.
