~ The Tacoma City Council will be holding a public hearing on February 4, 2025 to discuss the potential extension of a moratorium on certain high-impact uses within the South Tacoma Groundwater Protection District (STGPD). The hearing will take place during the City Council meeting, which is set to begin at 5:15 PM. The meeting will be conducted in a hybrid format, allowing for both in-person and virtual attendance options.
The moratorium was initially put in place in March 2023 to temporarily prohibit the establishment or expansion of underground storage tanks and metal recycling/auto wrecking facilities within the STGPD. This was done while the City and its partners worked on updating the STGPD code, which is expected to be completed in 2025. The moratorium has since been extended twice, in March and August of 2024, and is currently set to expire on March 20, 2025.

The proposed six-month extension would continue to prohibit the establishment or expansion of certain high-impact uses within the STGPD until the code amendment process is completed. This is being done to ensure that proper measures are taken to protect the groundwater in this district.
Community members are encouraged to submit written comments by emailing cityclerk@cityoftacoma.org or mailing them to 733 Market Street, Room 11, Tacoma, WA 98402 by February 3, 2025 at 5 PM. More information about the proposed moratorium extension can be found on the City of Tacoma's website at cityoftacoma.org/stgpd or by contacting Senior Planner Maryam Moeinian at mmoeinian@cityoftacoma.org or (253)532-1446.
