Development
moratorium at NE 134th The development moratorium in the NE 134th Avenue corridor could be lifted within a year, Clark County Commission chairwoman Betty Sue Morris said today. The moratorium called by the full board Tuesday actually followed a de-facto moratorium that existed after the county quit issuing new building permits in the area last spring. Commissioners will review their decision at a special meeting at 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 18. That meeting, however, will not be a public hearing. The moratorium applies to all construction for which permits have not been issued, including single family residences. The Salmon Creek area includes the confluence of Interstates 5 and 205, NE 134th Avenue, NE 20th Street and Highway 99. It is the busiest traffic hub in Clark County and serves the campus of Washington State University Vancouver and Legacy Salmon Creek Hospital. The effect of traffic to be generated by the hospital, which opens in mid-August, was computed when the commissioners made their decision. Morris says that state and federal funding in the pipeline will help make transportation improvements that can lead to lifting the moratorium in a year. She adds that increases in transportation impact fees, which have remained unchanged in the past ten years, will be required to sustain lifting the moratorium. But also involved is state funding promised by the 2005 state legislature’s gasoline tax act. That source of funding is in peril due to Initiative 912, to be on the ballot this fall, that could eliminate the gasoline tax hike. Leadership Clark
