Draft Legislation for Centers and Corridors

  • Draft Centers and Corridors Legislation
    Proposes to implement rezones in new Neighborhood Centers, in expansions of existing Regional and Urban Centers, and along frequent transit arterials. The legislation includes changes to development standards in Lowrise and Midrise zones.
  • Summaries of the proposed development standards are available for Lowrise and Midrise zones as amended by both Phase 1 and Phase 2 legislation.

Draft Housing Appendix

Since its initial adoption in 1990, the state Growth Management Act (GMA) has required local comprehensive plans to inventory and analyze existing and projected housing needs. The draft Housing Appendix addresses these requirements and provides a wealth of additional data to inform housing policies in the One Seattle Plan, consistent with GMA and regional frameworks.

The state Legislature recently strengthened GMA so that Seattle and other jurisdictions must “plan for and accommodate” housing affordable to all economic segments of the population. Our draft Housing Appendix documents Seattle’s share of projected housing needs for low- and moderate- income households and for emergency housing and shelters and provides analysis on zoned development capacity to meet these needs. In addition, the draft Housing Appendix:

  • Analyzes trends in demographics and housing supply and costs, demonstrating the importance of expanding the diversity of housing types and unit sizes, including moderate density housing and family-sized units affordable at lower cost than traditional detached housing.
  • Discusses barriers to fully address existing and future housing needs, including funding necessary to meet needs among low-income households through housing subsidies. 
  • Documents disproportionate housing challenges faced by households of color and maps existing disparities in access to key components of livability.
  • Analyzes policies and practices that have resulted in racially disparate impacts, exclusion, and displacement and, along with the Anti-Displacement Framework identifies areas that may be at higher risk of displacement as the city grows.
