Pierce County Property Owners!
WE ARE IMPACTING THIS PROCESS AND WORKING TO FORCE CHANGES IN PLANNING!
WE NEED YOU TO ATTEND THIS HEARING AND TESTIFY!
This urgent notice is to inform you that the Pierce County Council is presently considering the following code change:
Removal of MAXIMUM DENSITY ("Bonus Density" as described in the comprehensive plan) in the following zones: R10, R20, R40, ARL, RSR & RF
If your property is 10 acres or greater, the comprehensive plan will result in you losing your ability to subdivide and build an additional house(s).
The average market price for these lots is $150,000 - $350,000. Don't let your property value be taken away!
We need your help ASAP to stop this.
Get involved by joining us at the Pierce County Chapter of Citizens' Alliance for Property Rights.
For more information, please contact Joshua Hosford, President, 253-632-1562. piercecounty@capr.us
Please attend this hearing!!!
Pierce County Council Community Development and Environment Committee
1:30pm on April 29th, 2024
County City Building
930 Tacoma Ave S, Tacoma, WA 98402
Council Chambers is on the 10th floor.
Here is a link to proposed resolution Resolution R2024-158.
We made a difference with these groups:
1-AG Commission as of March recommendation to council
2-Planning Commission as of April 16th recommendation to council
3-County Executive as of April 13th public release and presentation to council April 16th
HOWEVER we still have a 4-3 Council vote against us.
Testimony should be similar to what they said at the Planning Commission meetings. It's crucial that we show up in numbers and they tell their story in front of this Committee.
This Committee is the first opportunity to speak to the Council. We want to try and get the Council to oppose removing the maximum density option as they create Resolution R2024-158. This Resolution becomes the basis for the preferred alternative for the Council to vote on in the next few months.
Let your position be heard!
