Inslee signs his last bill Gov. Jay Inslee signed his last bill on March 29, 2024. With that, we can officially close the book on the 2024 legislative session. Many thanks to our state legislators for all the hard work they put in on planning-related legislation this session and congratulations to our governor for reaching this pinnacle moment. <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5r X2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vY29udGVudC5nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeS5jb20vYWNjb3VudHMvV0FHT1YvYnVsbGV0aW5zLzM5MzY0OTEiLCJidWxsZXRpbl9pZCI6IjIwMjQwNDI1LjkzODY2NjUxIn0.RfKhiQAQQAXSTZLdz2K 3A-OswOb57k3B-SCQEYlVDt8/s/451240783/br/241356217766-l> While 2024 was a short session, the Governor’s Office and the Legislature continued the momentum to improve the local planning environment and the Growth Management Act with a focus on housing, urban growth areas (UGA) and more. Let’s reflect with planners around our great state on some of the major Growth Management-related highlights from the 2024 legislative session: Housing is still the priority The Legislature passed a number of bills designed to increase the range of allowable housing types within cities. These bills followed the historic policy direction from last session <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDIsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vY29udGVudC5nb3ZkZWxpdmVyeS5jb20vYWNjb3VudHMvV0FET0MvYnVsbGV0aW5zLzM1ZDU4NjAiLCJidW xsZXRpbl9pZCI6IjIwMjQwNDI1LjkzODY2NjUxIn0.tU3LiZJAIEqX5JtOAIMX1Df7aQIRDhh6EpVTDh7wKCI/s/451240783/br/241356217766-l> with more infill support and technical fixes. In addition to the bills, the supplemental budget included more investments in affordable housing programs. * HB 1998 <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXBwLmxlZy53YS5nb3YvYmlsbHN1bW1hcnk_QmlsbE51bWJlcj0xOTk4JlllYXI9MjAyMyZJb ml0aWF0aXZlPWZhbHNlIiwiYnVsbGV0aW5faWQiOiIyMDI0MDQyNS45Mzg2NjY1MSJ9.G0HhpECwRdHumpOzLna4LwJoHJqoEqXRdwWcC_x_4a4/s/451240783/br/241356217766-l> : This bill requires cities and counties to allow co-living housing as a permitted use on any lot within an urban growth area that allows at least six multifamily residential units, including on a lot zoned for mixed use development. Co-living housing provides rental housing with private rooms that share common kitchen facilities. This housing type was historically common, but now is prohibited and/or has regulations making it difficult to develop. As a result, cities and counties may not impose requirements on co-living housing, such as room dimensional standards larger than that required by the state building code; providing a mix of unit sizes or number of bedrooms; and including other uses. A city or county may not have development regulations for co-living housing that are more restrictive than those required for other types of multifamily residential uses in the same zone. * HB 2321 <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXBwLmxlZy53YS5nb3YvYmlsbHN1bW1hcnk_QmlsbE51bWJlcj0yMzIxJkluaXRpYXRpdmU9Z mFsc2UmWWVhcj0yMDIzIiwiYnVsbGV0aW5faWQiOiIyMDI0MDQyNS45Mzg2NjY1MSJ9.NY5kEJ8MehiznVOVA16bAvldnx7KDgO06NPZcC28VQg/s/451240783/br/241356217766-l> : This bill made a few technical changes to clarify the new middle housing requirements enacted in last session’s landmark middle housing bill <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDUsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIs InVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbGF3ZmlsZXNleHQubGVnLndhLmdvdi9iaWVubml1bS8yMDIzLTI0L1BkZi9CaWxscy9TZXNzaW9uJTIwTGF3cy9Ib3VzZS8xMTEwLVMyLlNMLnBkZj9xPTIwMjQwNDE4MTUwMDE4IiwiYnVsbGV0aW5faWQiOiIyMDI0MDQyNS45Mzg2NjY 1MSJ9.IiXwhfCpIBBFEJrUVwve26JtZMt47SKcNyRQ4_5PUeM/s/451240783/br/241356217766-l> . * SB 6015 <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDYsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbGF3ZmlsZXNleHQubGVnLndhLmdvdi9iaWVubml1bS8yMDIzLTI0L1BkZi9CaWxscy9TZXNza W9uJTIwTGF3cy9TZW5hdGUvNjAxNS1TLlNMLnBkZj9xPTIwMjQwNDE2MDgxMzMxIiwiYnVsbGV0aW5faWQiOiIyMDI0MDQyNS45Mzg2NjY1MSJ9.r4NS2rEiJa-cE2UZ6aCKUwVX21UENmJO0DkVf5trVVc/s/451240783/br/241356217766-l> : This bill creates additional restrictions on what a city and county can require in their parking standards to facilitate the construction of infill housing.

These funds are for the implementation of programs, services and/or capital facilities included in GHG emissions reduction sub-elements required by HB 1181 <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIj oxMTMsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbGF3ZmlsZXNleHQubGVnLndhLmdvdi9iaWVubml1bS8yMDIzLTI0L1BkZi9CaWxscy9TZXNzaW9uJTIwTGF3cy9Ib3VzZS8xMTgxLVMyLlNMLnBkZj9xPTIwMjQwNDE4MDkzOTQyIiwiYnVsbGV0a W5faWQiOiIyMDI0MDQyNS45Mzg2NjY1MSJ9.2QSk-HRilXKpg4imSbTtu8nd5CP2pwjBy-_kn9CYR5E/s/451240783/br/241356217766-l> (2023).

It also funds the provision of a third-party mediator to help resolve disputes between housing agencies and local governments over the siting or permitting of STEP housing. * Expanded training for new building inspectors and permit technicians: The Legislature provided additional funding to the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges and the Washington Association of Building Officials (WABO) to train new permit technicians and building inspectors. Conversations we’re watching for next session Over the last few sessions, the Legislature has commissioned several studies and deliberative processes to provide recommendations on how to achieve a number of policy priorities. The following local planning-related studies and developments from the 2023 and 2024 sessions are likely to influence policy and funding discussions in the next legislative session. * Integrating special purpose districts into the GMA: The Legislature commissioned a study to provide recommendations on how to integrate the planning work of special purpose districts in the GMA. This work will occur over the next year and a half with recommendations to the Legislature due December 2025. * Improving access to digital permitting: Last year, the Legislature commissioned a study to evaluate the creation of a statewide digital permitting system to facilitate the transition from paper to digital permitting and accelerate local project review. The Commerce advisory committee has been hard at work considering this feasibility study and will have a report with recommendations to the Legislature this summer. * The Wildland Urban Interface (WUI): After the passage of SB 6120 <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTUsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbGF3ZmlsZXNleHQu bGVnLndhLmdvdi9iaWVubml1bS8yMDIzLTI0L1BkZi9CaWxscy9TZXNzaW9uJTIwTGF3cy9TZW5hdGUvNjEyMC5TTC5wZGY_cT0yMDI0MDQxNzEwNDQwNCIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyNDA0MjUuOTM4NjY2NTEifQ.UL6eEZItYlyG-vYy6RNNY7-WLnUmsplK xZUji64jTxk/s/451240783/br/241356217766-l> , the State Building Code Council filed an emergency rule to remove all 2021 International Wildland-Urban Interface Code amendment language from WAC 51-55 <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTYsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXBwLmxlZy53YS5nb3YvV0FDL2RlZmF1bHQuYXNweD9jaXRlPTUxLTU1IiwiYnVsbGV 0aW5faWQiOiIyMDI0MDQyNS45Mzg2NjY1MSJ9.QRCFjxJmh8uZi6xkXIo0SW-iur_T2eoZY_xtnl85T1Q/s/451240783/br/241356217766-l> until the new mapping and amendments are developed. Local jurisdictions are no longer required to adopt the Model Wildland-Urban Interface Code as anticipated. However, they may still do so under the advisement that the existing Washington State Department of Natural Resources WUI map is no longer applicable. DNR is working on new maps. * Streamlining Approval for Middle Housing: With the passage of HB 2071 <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTcsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vbGF3ZmlsZXN leHQubGVnLndhLmdvdi9iaWVubml1bS8yMDIzLTI0L1BkZi9CaWxscy9TZXNzaW9uJTIwTGF3cy9Ib3VzZS8yMDcxLVMyLlNMLnBkZiNwYWdlPTEiLCJidWxsZXRpbl9pZCI6IjIwMjQwNDI1LjkzODY2NjUxIn0.cPFDCRuK3OpsolgQihFe1bFHTzmurVXPtKGkKY 0chqk/s/451240783/br/241356217766-l> , the Legislature commissioned the State Building Code Council to examine the building code for ways to apply residential code standards to middle housing.

The Office of Regulatory Innovation and Assistance will work with local governments and the building industry to engage a qualified consultant to develop a standard energy code plan set that exceeds energy code regulations. The optional plan set may be used by local governments, building officials, and building industries to lower costs and streamline housing production. * Creation of a state housing agency: The Office of Financial Management was tasked guiding the development of a pathway to evaluate the cost and feasibility of creating a new consolidated state housing agency that would likely combine a number of state programs that relate to the provision of housing. These recommendations are due to the Legislature by December 1, 2024. * Riparian habitat protection and restoration: The Legislature continued funding for a collaborative process with state and local governments, tribes, and stakeholders to make recommendations on strategies to better integrate efforts to protect and restore riparian habitat for salmon and steelhead, including voluntary and regulatory strategies. This facilitators for the process are required to provide recommendations to the Legislature in June 2024. * Agritourism permitting: The Legislature commissioned a study of how other states regulate and permit agritourism. The study includes how to bring advocates of interested groups together to resolve outstanding issues about permitting in agricultural areas for the sale of beer, wine and cider, and the use of agricultural buildings for tourism purposes. A Commerce-led report to the Legislature is due by June 30, 2025. <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WADOC/2020/01/3080083/emailfooter-stripe_original.png> <https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WADOC/2020/01/3080109/logo-white-250x90_original.png> Stay connected <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTksInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vcHVibGljLmdvdmRlbGl2ZXJ5LmNvbS9hY2NvdW50cy9XQURPQy9zdWJzY3JpYmVyL25ldyIsImJ1bGxldG luX2lkIjoiMjAyNDA0MjUuOTM4NjY2NTEifQ.3MyY_48-MKg2yCwXslALskTbiwX62lQ1KTwCEMcKxjI/s/451240783/br/241356217766-l> <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMjAsInVyaSI6ImJwMj pjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vdHdpdHRlci5jb20vd2FzdGF0ZWNvbW1lcmNlIiwiYnVsbGV0aW5faWQiOiIyMDI0MDQyNS45Mzg2NjY1MSJ9.qLam25DXwWA-Pue5M4lx0HvXWHdYToNs-ISxPC6g9w4/s/451240783/br/241356217766-l> <https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMjEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmZhY2Vib29rLmNvbS9XQVN0YXRlQ29tbWVyY2UvIiwiYnVsbGV0aW5faWQiOiIyMDI0MDQyNS45M zg2NjY1MSJ9.J_VfDKrYs9zfgr_b4Emcchpu1Scv9L_6unpQpb2kf4Y/s/451240783/br/241356217766-l> About Commerce Commerce works with local governments, businesses, community-based organizations and tribes to strengthen communities.
