The King County Board Commission voted on May 7 to rezone a parcel on Ivy Bluff Road and City Drive from A‑1 agricultural to R‑1 residential, approving the planning commission’s recommendation.
The approval followed a public hearing during which a speaker said the plan would subdivide roughly three acres into three single‑acre residential lots. "We're just taking three acres. We're making three roughly one‑acre lots," the resident stated, describing the proposal as a limited subdivision of an existing landowner's property. Opponents who spoke during the hearing warned about increased traffic and potential runoff from vehicles if a commercial use were later introduced.
The commission considered the planning commission's recommendation, a motion to approve the rezoning was made and seconded, and the clerk called the roll. The named commissioners on the roll call—Nathan Sanders, Judy Shawn, Chris Singleton, Jabari Williams, Curtis George, Eddie Mears, Randy Gannon, Crystal Alexander and Tony Burnett—were recorded as voting in favor and the motion passed.
The change moves the parcel from an agricultural zoning designation to a single‑family residential designation, clearing the way for the property owner to pursue lot development within R‑1 standards. The commission did not record additional conditions attached to the rezoning on the record at the meeting.
The chair closed the public hearings after members of the public finished their remarks. Next steps for the property include any site‑level permitting, subdivision plats and compliance with R‑1 development standards enforced by county planning staff.
