I-5/NE 179th St. Area Urban Holding Removal

Project Summary

This proposal seeks to amend the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning maps to remove the urban holding overlays from approximately 2,200 acres near the I-5/NE 179th Street Interchange area.  The area currently has the urban holding overlay designations placed on the property due to the lack of urban infrastructure. The urban holding removal is associated with the implementation of a public financing plan and development agreements that are necessary to reasonably fund critical transportation links and intersection improvements.The proposal would remove the last remaining urban holding designation in the Vancouver Urban Growth Area.
