SEQUIM — After several delays, a lawsuit challenging the rezone of property for a potential shopping center has been settled after the City Council voted to allow the developer to withdraw his application.
Sequim First, a citizens group, and the owners of two other Sequim shopping centers appealed the council’s rezone, which would eased the process for development of a regional shopping center between South Sequim Avenue and Brown Road.
The rezone put about 72 acres of property owned by the Burrowes family into a C-4 overlay zone.
Now the property will have two different zones, but City Attorney Craig Ritchie said the action won’t stop Burrowes, who has teamed with Bell Homestead LLC, from building a shopping center if it wants.
