If passed by the city council, the legislation would exempt affordable housing projects from design review, an extension of legislation originally developed as a part of the COVID-19 State of Emergency.
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell recently proposed new affordable housing legislation with the goal of quickly developing more apartment buildings to address the city’s housing crisis.
The bills are a collaboration between Harrell and City Councilmembers Dan Strauss and Teresa Mosqueda, who emphasize that the changes have already been proven to be effective in addressing the housing crisis. The current design regulation is set to expire on Dec. 30, and this new legislation would continue the exemption from design review without interruption.
