HB 2160: Housing development

Promoting community and transit-oriented housing development.

Summary

  • Establishes that cities planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA) may not enact or enforce any new development regulation within a station area that prohibits the siting of multifamily residential housing on parcels where other residential use is permissible and must allow new residential and mixed-use development within any station area at certain transit-oriented development densities.
  • Requires at least 10 percent of all residential units in buildings constructed within a station area be maintained as affordable housing for at least 50 years except under certain conditions.
  • Prohibits counties and cities planning under the GMA from requiring off-street parking as a condition of permitting development within a station area, with exceptions.
