Bellevue Planning Commission - April 23, 2026

The Bellevue Planning Commission held a meeting on April 23, 2026, primarily to consider a zoning ordinance amendment regarding self-storage facilities. The proposed amendment would change self-storage facilities from a permitted use to a conditional use permit in the FX, ML, and MH zoning districts, thereby giving the city more oversight and control over such developments, including building design and alignment with surrounding areas. The commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the amendment, which will proceed to the City Council for a public hearing on May 19, 2026. No current applications were affected by this change at the time of the meeting. The meeting also included routine approvals of minutes and staff reports, and a farewell to a departing commissioner.
