Summary
The Monroe Planning Commission on June 9 approved findings recommending City Council adopt updates to Chapter 22.88 MMC and the City of Monroe 2025–2029 Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) plan as required by state law.
The Monroe Planning Commission on June 9 voted to adopt findings of fact and conclusions of law and recommended that the City Council approve proposed amendments to Chapter 22.88 of the Monroe Municipal Code and adopt the 2025–2029 City of Monroe Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) plan.
Planner Anita (presenting) said the item was introduced April 14, had a planning commission public hearing May 12 and is tentatively scheduled for a City Council public hearing on June 24, 2025. Staff reported no substantive code edits were required at the planning commission stage and that the proposed plan update is a statutory requirement.
The commission approved a motion to adopt the findings and forward the item to City Council; the motion carried after a roll call vote in which commissioners responded “aye.”
Why it matters: CTR plans are state‑required measures intended to reduce single‑occupant vehicle trips and improve commute efficiency, and local adoption updates the city’s program and code references for the next four‑year period.
Next steps: The commission authorized the chair to sign the findings and forwarded the package to City Council for its scheduled public hearing and final action.
