HB 1167: Residential housing

Concerning residential housing regulations.

Summary

  • Requires that, beginning six months after its next comprehensive plan update, a fully planning city or county may only require an administrative design review to determine whether a housing development permit application is in compliance with any applicable design standards.
  • Prohibits a city from imposing any development regulations for middle housing that are more restrictive than those for detached single-family residences with certain exceptions.
  • Requires the Department of Commerce to establish and maintain a selection of preapproved accessory dwelling unit plans and provide the selection to counties and cities for adoption.
  • Directs the State Building Code Council to convene a work group to recommend a mechanism in the International Residential Code for adopting by reference, provisions for multiplex housing contained in the International Building Code, and a technical advisory group to recommend modifications and limitations to allow a single-exit stairway to serve multifamily residential structures up to six stories above grade plane.
  • Requires the Office of Regulatory and Innovation Assistance to contract for the development of an optional standard plan set that meets or exceeds all energy code regulations for residential housing subject to the International Residential Code.
