# 2026-11-2 Snoqualmie Community Development Committee Meeting


**Body:** City of Snoqualmie Government
**Date:** November 03, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

The Snoqualmie Community Development Committee met on November 3, 2026 (the meeting title gives November 2). Staff reviewed the comprehensive plan and zoning update intended to meet housing-capacity requirements and maintain eligibility for state and regional grant funding. Proposed zoning changes include higher-density residential zoning on selected city properties; the committee discussed the R1, R2, R3, and constrained-residential designations. Staff outlined upcoming review and City Council steps, including a committee discussion and ordinance on November 16, a public hearing planned for November 23, and possible Council action on November 30 or December 14. A property owner also asked the city to reconsider how a new 90%-retail-use ordinance applies to a proposed Club Pilates tenant. No contract award, bid approval, or other procurement action was taken.

The committee began its 2027–28 biennium budget discussion. Finance staff described a $23.1 million 2027 General Fund revenue forecast and a $26.5 million mayor’s proposed budget before restoration, and outlined hypothetical department reductions rather than making spending decisions. Community and Economic Development items discussed included $200,000 annually for planning studies, $338,000 for human services, and the potential cost savings of $127,000 in 2027 and $137,000 in 2028 from not adding an assistant planner. Members emphasized weighing service impacts and protecting current staffing; staff agreed to provide the presentation materials. No budget or procurement votes were recorded, and no procurement activity was identified.
