May 7, 2025. The next public hearing on the Seattle Comprehensive Plan Update has been set for Monday, May 19th. The city is currently adopting an interim zoning ordinance (CB 120969), which will legalize housing options like duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and townhomes in all residential areas of Seattle. The zoning ordinance is intended to bring Seattle into compliance with the state’s new middle housing law, HB 1110, while adoption of the full Comprehensive Plan has been delayed.
This time, there will be separate remote and in-person public comment periods, with the remote public hearing scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m. (registration opens at 8:30 am) and the in-person public hearing set to begin at 4:00 p.m.. (It is recommended that those seeking to provide public comment show up at 2:00 p.m., based on the hearings held earlier this year),
There have been several lawsuits challenging the proposed Seattle Comprehensive Plan, the latest of which was filed in King County Superior Court on April 30th. To learn more, and thank you to neighborhood media, please click here.
