Agenda: CB 119504: relating to the Pike Place Market Historical District; Public Hearing.

Notice of a City Council Public Hearing

On August 13, 2018, the Seattle City Council passed Ordinance 125650, which expanded the Pike Place Market Historical District to include the Showbox Theater for ten months. The ordinance, authorized by RCW 36.70A.390, was adopted to study whether to permanently expand the District to include the Showbox Theater. The interim expansion will expire on July 23, 2019.

The City Council is considering proposed legislation amending Ordinance 125650 to extend its effective date by six months to allow the City to conduct the analysis necessary prior to taking action on any permanent changes. The Council will accept public comment at the public hearing only on the extension of the interim expansion of the historic district. There will be additional opportunities for public comment and a public hearing in the future before any permanent changes are considered by the Council.
