City opens comment on 182-lot Lakewood Heights subdivision proposal off 172nd Street NE

Marysville's Community Development Department has issued a Notice of Application for a proposed 182-home planned residential development on about 29.48 acres at 1125 & 1507 172nd Street NE, with written comments due by 4:30 PM on April 25, 2024 1.

What the records say

A developer called MJS Investors has applied to the City of Marysville to build a 182-lot Planned Residential Development — a subdivision design that can use density incentives under city code MMC 22G.090 — on roughly 29.48 acres at 1125 & 1507 172nd Street NE 1. The application, filed under number PA24-008, also seeks a binding site plan approval and State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review 1. The city found the application complete on April 4, 2024, and posted the formal notice on April 8, 2024 1.

  • The application (PA24-008) requests PRD and binding site plan approval with SEPA review for a 182-lot development on approximately 29.48 acres 1.
  • The site at 1125 & 1507 172nd Street NE contains one Category III wetland, with an off-site wetland buffer extending on-site 1.
  • The project proposes a concurrent rezone to align the parcels' split zoning with the proposal, and includes clearing, grading, and utility and roadway extensions 1.
  • Written comments are due to the listed project contact by 4:30 PM on April 25, 2024; the decision will be made administratively, with no public hearing 1.
  • Environmental documents on file include a SEPA checklist, critical areas report, traffic impact analysis, geotechnical report, drainage report, and stormwater pollution prevention plan 1.

Why it matters

The proposal would add 182 homes, plus clearing, grading, and new utility and roadway extensions, on land that includes a Category III wetland and its buffer, and it would rezone the split-zoned parcels to match the project — changes that shape nearby traffic, drainage, and neighborhood character 1.

What changed / what's next

  • The city issued a Notice of Application for PA24-008 (Lakewood Heights PRD) after declaring the application complete on April 4, 2024, starting the public comment period 1.
