April Publication Updates
We updated a Tip about Mandatory Housing Affordability and published four Director’s Rules.
New Rules for Short-Term Rentals
In December 2017, the City Council adopted new rules for the operation of short-term rentals in Seattle. The new rules address regulatory licensing, taxation, and land use requirements for short-term rentals, a type of lodging sometimes called vacation rentals.
No Construction Drawings in Land Use Applications
We will no longer accept structural drawings as part of a Land Use / Master Use Permit Application. You should not include structural drawings and calculations in the plan set when you submit your application. The drawings and calculations are not part of our land use review and approval process.
Land Use Code Omnibus Amendments
SDCI is responsible for normal maintenance of the Land Use Code and related regulations. The State Department of Commerce recommends such maintenance as good government practice in furthering Growth Management Act implementation. We package a collection of amendments that are relatively small in scale, and have a limited scope of impact, into an “omnibus” bill.
Neighborhood Parking Legislation
For the past couple of years, SDCI has been working on parking legislation. On April 2, the full City Council may vote on the legislation. The legislation will increase opportunities for shared parking and set or reinforce progressive parking policies in places where Seattle invests in frequent transit service. These strategies will help provide access for the greatest number of Seattleites to a range of transportation options that promote social equity, help reduce household transportation costs, and reduce reliance on automobiles.
