The Washington State Department of Commerce is seeking your input on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU).
New amendments to RCW 36.70A.070 <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjA3MTguNjA5MjQ5NDEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwcC

element updates, to consider the role of ADUs in meeting housing needs. Many bills about ADUs have also been presented in the last few years. As a result, Commerce set aside funding
to update our ADU guidance which was first developed in 1994, and is still referenced in statute (RCW 43.63A.215 <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwM

The guidance update will include:
* Recommendations for cities which may include considerations related to parking, size and design, and use as short term rentals, affordability incentives or other tools to encourage
the development and affordability of ADUs.
* A recommended approach for counties that may include considerations in rural and resource lands, design, use for family, farm help, and short term rentals, and suggestions in Limited
Areas of More Intense Rural Development (LAMIRDS <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjA3MTguNjA5MjQ5NDEiLCJ1cmwiO

growth areas.
* A sample presentation and editable handouts for local government staff to use as they work on local ADU ordinances.
* Two recorded webinars to train local government staff planners on the ADU recommended policies: one for cities and one for counties.
Draft guidance is expected in late 2022. If you have specific recent experience in developing ADU regulations and would like to get involved to share your knowledge, please contact Anne

New tool for Multifamily Property Tax Exemption published
In the following weeks, Commerce expects to publish a new resource for communities looking to establish or update their Multifamily Property Tax Exemption (MFTE) program. The MFTE Workbook
provides the information needed to understand the program, communicate with stakeholders, adopt and maintain an effective program that reflects local housing needs. The workbook will
be available on Commerce’s MFTE webpage <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDYsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjA3MTguNjA5MjQ5NDEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwcz

Commerce, working with BERK Consulting, Inc., engaged a wide range of stakeholders including: housing developers, city staff, county assessors and the Washington Department of Revenue.
We would like to thank the members of the MFTE Advisory Committee who spent hours reviewing, researching and commenting on the materials in the workbook. Their help was invaluable in
creating a meaningful and easy way to understand resource that reflects current best practices.
For more information on the workbook and our ongoing efforts to support MFTE throughout Washington, contact senior planner Mary M. Reinbold at mary.reinbold@commerce.wa.gov <mailto:mary.reinbold@comm

This is an exciting opportunity to work with their team of scientists, resource managers, planners and policy leaders in helping shape Washington’s planning framework for addressing
climate impacts. The Washington State Legislature has tasked Ecology with coordinating with the Department of Commerce, other state agencies and Tribal governments to develop a model
framework for developing and implementing climate change resiliency and adaptation into local Comprehensive Plans and Shoreline Master Programs and policies. Ecology has a lead role
on sea level rise, flooding and erosion.
This role will help Ecology accomplish this work and will play a primary role in supporting the agency’s climate change resilience efforts.
