Middle housing code adoption, centers and hubs public hearing Packed agenda for Edmonds City Council June 24

The Edmonds City Council plans to review a middle housing code update and conduct public hearings during its June 24 meeting. This update aims to comply with HB 1110, which mandates that cities expand housing types in single-family zones to include duplexes and triplexes. The council will also gather public input on the new neighborhood centers and hubs designated under the 2024 Comprehensive Plan, which will allow for small-scale multifamily housing near transit. A discussion on the residential parking code update will seek council feedback on adopting specific elements required by state legislation. The council's agenda also includes reclassifying the city engineer role and introducing draft code revisions for managing the city's right-of-way.

Furthermore, the council will recognize June as National Gun Violence Awareness Month. This meeting is significant as it addresses a $13 million budget shortfall and explores revenue generation ideas, including a potential levy lid lift in November. The meeting will start at 6 p. m. and will be accessible both in person and online.
