October 10, 2024

Hello middle housing fans - Kirkland is active in the development of their comprehensive plan updates. Current activity as of the upcoming October 10th Planning Commission meeting shows current focus is on review of proposed Housing Element language and policies for incorporation into the comprehensive plan document. Policies in the approved comp plan are what ultimately will guide zoning code updates later, so this is very important framework for what’s to come. The housing element policies are rooted among many...

October 2, 2024

Construction began this week on our first cottage housing project in Kirkland. Located a few blocks from downtown Kirkland, the 11th Avenue Cottages are creating two new homes and remodeling a third on an existing site.  Kirkland’s cottage housing allowances already largely follow the forthcoming middle housing code changes and intent, so Grouparchitect for one is anxious to see where the final code language falls to see what’s next in the city for higher density residential projects like this one.    ...

House Bill 1110 and Kirkland 2044

June 24, 2024

The city of Kirkland is still in early stages of looking at the implications of incorporating HB1110 requirements into the zoning code. Comprehensive plan changes are in review now, but not much more than an initial comparison of middle housing requirements under HB1110 compared at face value to the current Kirkland zoning codes. See excerpts below. We followed up with Adam Weinstein, Director of Planning and Building, to get his preliminary take on the analysis work to date, and he confirmed...

Shoreline appears to already be well on their way to incorporating middle housing. We first dove deep into a video from Shoreline from their Home Improvement Workshop Presentation in April 2024 to catch up on where they are planning to go with HB1110 compliance. The video with Elise Keim, planning manager with Shoreline, went into great detail from a number of angles with this presentation and gave a fantastic overview of how the middle housing process will work overall and...

Hello! – Everett is in phase II of their overall comprehensive plan process to create Everett 2044. We took a look at their documents to date with respect to HB1110 and middle housing and Alternative 3 appears to be our best initial reference that investigates how and where middle housing, or a comprehensive plan design that emphasizes middle housing, would evolve. Notably but not surprisingly, the areas of focus are clustered around strong transportation connectors and routes such as Highway 99,...

May 10, 2024

We noted in earlier posts that some cities won’t be quick to update codes to be in compliance with HB1110, and Bellevue is living up to that projection. Looking around more at where they are, we’re seeing that Bellevue squarely in the middle of their comprehensive plan (comp plan) amendments for 2024, the first step is preparing to push forward code compliant zoning changes for HB1110. It appears that comp plan changes and other procedural activities will be ongoing through...
