After a series of public meetings, reviewing public comments, and interviewing backyard cottage owners the Seattle city council and Office of Planning and Community Development are poised to release a draft proposal of measures to encourage the construction of backyard cottages.
This Thursday, May 19th, the Office of Planning and Community Development will publish a draft proposal reflecting many of these comments, for purposes of environmental review according to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). Councilmember O’Brien intends to share the highlights of the proposal publicly on Wednesday.
The legislation is then scheduled to come to the Council’s Planning, Land Use and Zoning Committee in July, with a potential vote in August.
Please note that the legislation that is published this week may not entirely reflect the legislation that ultimately gets introduced at Council in July, as there could be changes to the policy that do not implicate the environmental review. We continue to welcome your comments during this time. There will be at least two City Council meetings between July and August as well, at which time there will be further opportunities to comment upon and shape the legislation.
