Planning Commission was scheduled to weigh final draft PROS Plan and elect officers on Jan. 6

Kenmore's Planning Commission was scheduled to consider the final draft PROS Plan and elect officers at its Jan. 6, 2026 meeting; a staff memo says the commission's recommendation goes to the City Council on Jan. 26 1.

What the records say

In materials published ahead of the Jan. 6, 2026 meeting, the Kenmore Planning Commission's agenda listed the election of the commission's chair and vice chair and consideration of the final draft Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan 1. A staff memo prepared for the meeting says staff would present the Final Draft PROS Plan and request any suggested final edits before the commission makes its recommendation to forward to the City Council, with the recommendation to be presented at the January 26, 2026 City Council meeting 1. The agenda also included a third item — review of the draft 2026 Planning Commission Docket — which is covered separately 1.
