The City of Sammamish Planning Commission held a meeting on April 16, 2026, primarily focused on discussing updates to Title 24A, which governs the amendment process for the city's development regulations under Title 21. The commission reviewed the amendment process, including docket requests and land use map amendments, and considered proposed terminology changes to clarify the stages of review. They discussed the timing and scheduling of amendment submissions and public hearings, weighing options to better align with the city's work plan and budget cycles. The commission also debated adding specific decision criteria for site-specific land use map amendments to improve consistency and clarity. Additionally, the meeting addressed public comment procedures, ultimately agreeing to extend public comment periods from three to five minutes and to hold these comments at the end of meetings to allow the public to respond after discussions.
