Marysville Planning Commission was scheduled to weigh 116th Street Master Plan repeal

In materials published ahead of the July 14, 2026 meeting, Marysville's Planning Commission was scheduled to consider setting a public-hearing date on repealing the 2001 116th Street Master Plan. 1

What the records say

Marysville's Planning Commission, meeting July 14, 2026, was scheduled to consider setting a public-hearing date to weigh repealing the 116th Street Master Plan, a corridor plan the city adopted on May 14, 2001. The agenda record says most of the plan's provisions — road and access networks, stormwater facilities, landscaping, and critical-areas protection — have already been built or are now outdated. 1

  • The 116th Street Master Plan was adopted May 14, 2001, and its access, stormwater, landscaping, and critical-area provisions are largely implemented or obsolete. 1
  • The recommended motion was to set a public-hearing date to consider repealing the plan. 1
  • The plan restricts crossing the West Fork of Quil Ceda Creek, blocking a north-south corridor between 116th Street NE and 88th Street NE, which the record ties to public-safety concerns given the area's single access point. 1
  • Roughly 46% of the remaining developable land south of 116th Street NE is owned by the Tulalip Tribes, which are not obligated by the master plan. 1
  • The repeal would be paired with Comprehensive Plan map amendments showing the extension of 38th Drive NE southward. 1

Why it matters

Repealing the plan would remove a rule that now blocks a needed north-south road connection between 116th Street NE and 88th Street NE east of Interstate 5, according to the application materials. The record says the area currently has a single access point, which raises public-safety concerns about police and fire response times, and that about 46% of the remaining developable land south of 116th Street NE is owned by the Tulalip Tribes, who are not bound by the city's 2001 plan. If repealed, the city's Comprehensive Plan maps would be amended to show the extension of 38th Drive NE southward to reach the remaining undeveloped land. 1

What changed / what's next

  • The proposal would repeal the 116th Street Master Plan adopted May 14, 2001. 1
  • The proposal would amend the 2024 Comprehensive Plan maps and text to remove the master plan area and show the extension of 38th Drive NE southward. 1
  • The agenda record did not state the date the public hearing on the repeal would be scheduled for; that date was to be set at the July 14, 2026 meeting. 1
  • The available records do not establish the meeting's outcome, so it is not known whether the Planning Commission set the hearing or voted on the repeal. 1
