Hello Neighbors, (Updated May, 2021)
We need your help! Snohomish County is considering a request to re-zone property next to the Greenleaf, Highlands East and Glacier View Estates neighborhoods that will negatively impact these neighborhoods. The request includes options to re-zone the 20-acre property from the current R-7200 (6 single family homes/acre), to either:
1) Urban High Density Residential - up to 22 units per acre -- e.g. apt buildings
2) Urban Medium Density Residential - up to 11 units per acre -- e.g. Townhomes
Note: Greenleaf is zoned at R-9600, 4 single family homes/acre
The higher density re-zoning is out of character with the surrounding lower density single family home neighborhoods. The increased traffic associated with higher density developments – up to 440 new units -- will go through our neighborhoods.
Please sign this petition, stating your objection to the re-zoning request. We need a lot of signatures to get the county’s attention. The petition needs to be signed preferably on or before June 20, 2021 as we would like to send it to the County in time for a public hearing, on June 22, 2021. Details of the hearing will be posted on the Greenleaf website and Facebook pages.
Thanks for your consideration and please reach out to anyone on the HOA board if you have questions or concerns.

The number of signatures is nearing our initial milestone. Consistent growth suggests the county will recognize the strong opposition present in these neighborhoods as we finalize our presentation for the upcoming hearing.

The local planning department has received our initial correspondence regarding the proposed zoning changes. I am currently reviewing the traffic impact assessments to better understand how these density adjustments might affect our local infrastructure. Your input remains helpful as we prepare for the upcoming public hearing.

Our community is approaching one hundred signatures regarding the proposed zoning changes. Achieving this milestone before the upcoming hearing will demonstrate the clear opposition of our neighborhoods to the county officials. Please distribute this petition to your neighbors to help us reach this target.

Access into the planned addition does not seem adequate for a high density development. Traffic through Highlands East is already precarious with the narrow streets, cars parked in streets and children playing in the streets.
Urban high density zoning doesn’t fit with the surrounding neighborhoods and the impact to our already busy streets will be too great, the two schools in this area are already at capacity. We moved here to get away from the high density areas and have paid great amounts to do so.
High density housing near Greenleaf and Highlands east will lower t.he value of my home. We moved here to live amongst lower density and paid a high price. Ridiculous to keep adding high density housing and forgetting the residents who moved here to get away from it.
Not fair for Highlands East residents for this new developments to use our narrow road. Developers should pay for new entrances to their own developments. This is saving them money at our expense.
Absolutely opposed to that scale of rezoning due to the counties inability to deal effectively with traffic impacts on Cathcart and Hwy 9. Local schools are already over commuted and lack teachers and teaching space. Keep the proposed level of impacts restricted to existing high density zones
Pls do not to the re-zoning as it will be super over crowded
Greenleaf neighborhood would be severely negatively affected if increased traffic to a new medium or high density neighborhood were to come through our streets. Lowell-Larimer is already a small 2 lane road that likely wasn’t initially planned for the current amount of traffic. Adding more will cause delays & unsafe driving conditions…not to mention the increased traffic through a residential area should the proposed neighborhoods directly connect. Please keep the integrity of the area and maintain the low density requirement.

Roads are already ill equipped to handle the traffic in our area. In the event of an emergency, there are not adequate escape routes and we could similar situations as in California where people could not escape the fires because of traffic overflow.
