Notice of Public Hearing - City-Initiated Text Amendments

Chelan city officials will conduct a public hearing to address proposed text amendments that include regulations for accessory dwelling units and co-living housing. The hearing aims to engage residents in discussions about these draft regulations, which are crucial for expanding housing options. Recent applications for short subdivisions and fill and grade permits, such as those at 300 W. Okanogan Ave and 14 SR 150, demonstrate active development in the city. Officials encourage community members to participate and share their thoughts on these initiatives.

This move aligns with Chelan's efforts to meet growing housing demands and diversify living arrangements. City planners assert that such amendments are necessary for the sustainable growth of the community. The public hearing is a critical step in ensuring that residents' needs and concerns are considered. This initiative reflects a broader trend across the region to adapt housing policies to changing demographics and economic conditions.
