New Housing Accountability Act resources available
Commerce has launched a dedicated resource hub to support cities and counties in navigating the Housing Accountability Act (HAA).
The new webpage gathers guidance documents, breaks down review procedures and launches a new implementation tracking tool to help planning departments align local plans with state requirements.
Visit the new HAA webpage <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.commerce.wa.gov%2Fgrowth-management%2Fhousing-planning%2Fhousing-accountability-act%2F/1/010101a010ebae38-79d0937d-403c
-4e82-83a5-385d97147a88-000000/6eTAcpEzg_yzlsLGdFhPdmHpDS8RGAl62GwSBaudZH8=452> to find:
* Planning checklists: Self-guided audit tools for both housing elements and HAA housing development regulations. Planners can use these checklists to compare materials against state
requirements prior to local adoption.
* HAA fact sheet and FAQ: Summary of key statutory requirements, timelines and considerations for local planners, as well as answers to common HAA questions.
* HAA selected review procedures guide: A document outlining the criteria Commerce uses to identify selected review jurisdictions and procedures for review.
* Local implementation tracker: A dashboard tracking local housing plan and regulation updates across the state, helping planners and the public visualize timelines and implementation
progress.
The goal of the HAA is to ensure local plans and regulations provide an environment where local housing needs can be met through new development. Commerce staff are available to answer
questions, review draft materials and support local planners as they update plans and regulations.

Reminders for submitting to PlanView
Stakeholders across Washington look to Commerce to understand when and where new laws are implemented at the local level. Help us showcase your great implementation work by following
these submittal reminders:
1. Register for and use the PlanView system. This is the best way to ensure timely receipt and review of your submittal. Visit the Submitting Documents to the State <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/C
L0/https:%2F%2Fwww.commerce.wa.gov%2Fgrowth-management%2Fdata-research%2Fsubmitting-documents%2F/1/010101a010ebae38-79d0937d-403c-4e82-83a5-385d97147a88-000000/ws4cmSnBe00j5uwALg_8QXUo4DxCiGT_-qwGLPS
FwQc=452> webpage for instructions on accessing PlanView.
2. Indicate if your submittal is associated with an existing case or submittal. Reference existing submittal (e.g., 2026-S-12345) or case numbers (e.g., 2026-C-12345). This keeps your
materials organized and helps us track your progress on the periodic update, critical areas ordinance and development regulations.
3. Use clear, accurate and informative brief descriptions. The brief description is critical in helping Commerce track implementation and review your submittal in a timely manner. Examples
include:
1. “Proposed comprehensive plan amendment for the GMA periodic update including the following draft elements: utility, transportation and parks.”
2. “Adopted Ordinance 123, adopting an amendment to the sign code.”
3. “Review of parking study for alternative standard.”
4. “Proposed development regulation amendment to implement middle housing and STEP housing laws.”
4. Categorize your submittal. Selecting appropriate categories on the final submittal screen helps us pull examples of good work for other local governments seeking assistance in the
same area.
If you have other questions regarding submittals and the PlanView system, please contact your regional planner <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fdeptofcommerce.app.box.com%2Ffile%2F148

WSDOT: Drone facility guidance offers proactive solutions
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WADOC/2025/02/11067938/wsdot-original_original.jpg>
As commercial and public-sector drone operations expand, the Washington State Department of Transportation Aviation Division has released new guidance to help communities plan for facilities
where drones are launched, recovered, serviced, charged or otherwise supported.
The Drone Hub Land Use Guidance: Best Practices for Cities, Counties, and Local Land Use Agencies <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fdrive.google.com%2Ffile%2Fd%2F1y-51VbUwY15aVYO5H7uVA

planners, airport sponsors, drone operators and other stakeholders. It helps jurisdictions address drone facilities proactively, before rising activity creates land-use conflicts.
The guidance does not establish new statewide zoning requirements or replace federal aviation regulations. Instead, it provides recommended best practices that local governments may
adapt to their comprehensive plans, zoning codes, development regulations and permitting processes.
