Whatcom County has applied for a conditional use permit to replace the office at the Johnson Road transfer station. The county hearing examiner has scheduled a September 3 public hearing on the application.
The run-down building on site now totals 1,850 square feet in size and will be replaced with a 500-SF modular unit to be constructed off-site and shipped to the transfer station. Various retaining walls will also be assessed and improved at the same time.
A conditional use permit is required because the transfer station is located in a R5A zoning area and despite being in operation for many years, a CUP was never sought or approved.
