Ferndale City Council has put a 40 day moratorium on commercial planned unit applications. The council will host several meetings during that time to hear from residents and review the current rules.

Many residents pushed for the moratorium because they were worried about Pioneer Plaza, a 100 acre commercial and residential project.  

The city met on Tuesday with residents to hear their views. On Wednesday, February 1, they will meet at 9:30am to review the rules. On Monday February 6, the council will have a work session at 5pm and a public hearing at 7pm. All of the meetings will be held at the Ferndale City Hall Annex, 5694 Second Ave. For more info, call 384-4006.
