Ruling on North Shore Development
Sounds like a ruling was issued today from the Hearing Examiner on the case of the North Shore Golf Course. The ruling went against the City and in favor of the developer.
It’s important to point out that the ruling was specifically about whether the permit application from the developer was complete or incomplete and is not about the project as a whole.
The examiner ruled that it was a complete application and therefore was submitted before the 6 month moratorium on Planned Residential Developments (PRDs) was enacted by the City Council.
Of course, the project still has a long way to go. It’s very likely there will be many more challenges to the development from the Northeast Tacoma residents, but the question of whether the application was complete or incomplete has been settled.
When this issue was before the City Council, the citizens of Northeast Tacoma packed in to the Chambers and two overflow rooms. We know it’s an important issue for a lot of readers, so we’ll keep updating as we hear more.
