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 TowerIn 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 proposalThese 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
