body
DEPARTMENT: County Council
ORIGINATOR: Ryan Countryman
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: TBD
PURPOSE: Proposed Motion 21-309 would refer proposed code revisions promoting construction of new “missing middle” housing while also encouraging preservation of existing residential units to the department of Planning and Development Services (PDS) and the Snohomish County Planning Commission.
BACKGROUND: This referral ordinance is a council initiative related to housing affordability. It would (1) increase incentives for more middle density housing by increasing density bonuses for Planned Residential Developments and Townhomes, (2) provide more design flexibility in R-7200 zoning by increasing the allowed building height, and (3) incentivize retention of existing housing in new developments by providing a density bonus.
