Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and based on guidance from our public health partners, we are no longer hosting in-person paid zoning coaching appointments at the Seattle Municipal Tower. In an effort to facilitate teleworking, SDCI offers online paid zoning coaching meetings through Microsoft (MS) Teams online meetings.
You should apply for a paid zoning coaching appointment for complex zoning questions, or for preliminary feedback about a specific proposal. These typically involve an hour of dedicated staff time and allow staff to review schematic drawings or plans with you online.
As a free service, SDCI staff still responds to questions submitted through our land use Q&A. That resource is formatted entirely in text and is best suited to relatively simple or general questions about Seattle’s zoning standards.
Step 1: Submit your paid coaching request
To apply for a paid zoning coaching appointment, complete and submit the following documents to sci_presubapp@seattle.gov:
Step 2: Pay your fees
We will contact you to once we have received your documents and added the coaching fee to your account.
Pay your fee online and then email sci_asc_support@seattle.gov to schedule your appointment. Be sure to include your email address so that we can send you an MS Teams meeting request. We will set up your online coaching appointment within one week of receiving your request.
For questions on submitting your request, contact sci_asc_support@seattle.gov.
