The Seattle City Council approved an ordinance to implement interim controls for land use and zoning, aligning with recent Washington State land use mandates (House Bill 1110, House Bill 1287, House Bill 1293, and Senate Bill 6015). The ordinance significantly amends various sections of the Seattle Municipal Code, primarily focusing on increasing housing supply, variety, and affordability, particularly 'middle housing' in Neighborhood Residential (NR) and Lowrise (LR) zones. Key changes include updated density limits, allowing up to four dwelling units per lot in NR zones, and up to six units near major transit stops or if two units are affordable. It also modifies minimum lot coverage, height limits (increasing maximum permitted height from 30 to 32 feet in certain cases), and setback requirements. Furthermore, the ordinance adjusts parking regulations, introducing EV-ready parking requirements and updating rules for vehicle access easements and pedestrian circulation. This legislative action is part of the city's broader 'One Seattle Plan' to create a more welcoming, accessible, affordable, livable, and safe city.
