HB 2066: Infill development

Concerning exemptions for infill development under the state environmental policy act.

Summary

  • Requires certain cities planning fully under the Growth Management Act to consider how to maximize the use of the infill development categorical exemption under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), consistent with maintaining environmental protections, in order to minimize the duplication of environmental review.
  • Provides that a SEPA infill development categorical exemption adopted by a city or county must provide a means for collaboration and coordination with any federally recognized tribe or tribes whose ceded lands, usual and accustomed areas, or areas protected by executive order or federal statute are affected by the infill development.
