Planners’ Monthly Newsletter – April 2025
This month: UGA swaps, climate planning grants, impact fees, upcoming events
State law provides for growth area swaps; new fact sheet available
An urban growth area swap provides counties a path to revise an urban growth area or areas based on identified patterns of development and likely development pressure.
The Growth Management Act provides two processes for completing a UGA swap, depending on whether the swap is conducted during a periodic update year. Each process comes with specific
requirements.
Commerce has developed an Urban Growth Area Swaps fact sheet <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fdeptofcommerce.box.com%2Fs%2Fkube17iz8x2irjwo2obhuibbsu4u4wzf/1/010101963b0b7f72-1ddbcc64

also revising its more comprehensive Urban Growth Area guidebook, last updated in 2012. That guidebook will be published later this year.
Feedback needed: Have your say on new guidelines for development fees
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/WADOC/2025/04/11423387/6127369/fee-guidebook_crop.jpg>
Washington’s cities and counties are on the frontline of managing growth, and a new guidebook from Commerce aims to help them navigate the complexities of setting development fees. The
draft Proportional Impact Fee and System Development Charges Guidebook <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fdeptofcommerce.box.com%2Fs%2F9v774pyp91tl8tizz9gb8bn3s8vkii0l/1/010101963b0b7f

The guidebook outlines key considerations to lead jurisdictions through the process of calculating and adopting proportional impact fees and system development charges.
Now is your chance to weigh in. Public comments are open through April 30, and your feedback will help fine-tune these guidelines to better serve local governments and their residents.
Comments can be submitted through an online form <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fapp.smartsheet.com%2Fb%2Fform%2F0195b48541d57ee28efd9b6647f6fc1c/1/010101963b0b7f72-1ddbcc64-f8c6-4d

Commerce seeks feedback on new Multifamily Building Efficiency Grants Program
The Department of Commerce has approximately $52 million available in grants for affordable multifamily buildings in its Housing Trust Fund <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.commer
ce.wa.gov%2Fmultifamily-rental-housing%2Fmultifamily-funding%2Fhtf%2F/1/010101963b0b7f72-1ddbcc64-f8c6-4d94-b746-e7f8970dbe76-000000/6yOVDtZMJyuDn-BqYNPpzAmoEmyz_Jia1XoCJcyBDu4=400>
portfolio to replace fossil fuel equipment with all-electric equipment.
The grants can fund projects for energy management planning activities like energy audits and building benchmarking, and energy retrofit activities like installing renewable energy systems
and replacing equipment.
To ensure funds are equitably distributed and address community concerns, Commerce is seeking your feedback. We want to know:
* How would this program impact your community?
* What concerns do you have about the work that would be funded?
* How can we make sure this program does not increase environmental harm to vulnerable populations?
Please send your feedback via email to Aaron Dumas at aaron.dumas@commerce.wa.gov <mailto:aaron.dumas@commerce.wa.gov> . For more information, visit the Multifamily Building Efficiency
Grant website <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.commerce.wa.gov%2Fenergy-incentives%2Fmbeg%2F/1/010101963b0b7f72-1ddbcc64-f8c6-4d94-b746-e7f8970dbe76-000000/7247QSC9htuudL0KWctc_I

Empowering community voices: Help shape the future of participatory planning
Good community planning begins with public engagement, but vulnerable populations are too often left out of planning processes that affect them.
Commerce and Uncommon Bridges are working on resources to increase participation of vulnerable populations and overburdened communities in comprehensive planning processes.
To aid that work, we’re asking local planners to respond to a survey about their public engagement efforts <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.surveymonkey.com%2Fr%2FVVGZ8JW/1/010101
963b0b7f72-1ddbcc64-f8c6-4d94-b746-e7f8970dbe76-000000/TkZqN-S9AJ2LuQdJiYgZOpVFGoNcIN8aA9Y8s74xfI4=400> . Survey responses will help us develop resources including a workbook, video
and illustrated story, all relating planning concepts to everyday life.
Please respond to the survey by April 18.

Climate updates
Climate planning grants available beginning April 17
Pending legislative appropriation, Commerce expects to distribute statewide grants to support climate planning that is required as part of the Growth Management Act periodic update process.
Climate planning grants <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.commerce.wa.gov%2Ffunding%2Fcommerce-prepares-2025-2027-climate-planning-grants%2F/1/010101963b0b7f72-1ddbcc64-f8c6-4d94-b
746-e7f8970dbe76-000000/umj2dojTa6u6d_4RMF8sp8Nah5LCXoSsNHJ1ChfxdTE=400> are available to those jurisdictions across Washington that must include a climate change and resiliency element
in their comprehensive plans during their next periodic update. Funding will be determined based on legislative appropriation. This grant program is only for the development of the
climate change and resiliency element. Implementation activities are not eligible for funding.

Housing updates
Empirical parking study guidance finalized
State laws passed in 2023 set maximum off-street parking requirements that a city or county may require for middle housing and accessory dwelling units.
One way a city or county may receive an exception to these rules is to submit an empirical parking study to Commerce showing that the state requirements would be less safe than the jurisdiction’s
own parking requirements.
Commerce has finalized its Empirical Parking Study Guidance <https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fdeptofcommerce.app.box.com%2Fs%2Fgrhqs8xsfv3u8z5m4v9ymq9sglw7eim3/1/010101963b0b7f72-1ddbc

Preemption permit checklists available for middle housing and ADUs
Several preemption clauses related to housing development were enacted in the 2023 and 2024 legislative sessions. Among them were requirements for allowing at least two accessory dwelling
units per lot and allowing a minimum level of middle housing development. Commerce has prepared middle housing and accessory dwelling unit building permit checklists for use by local
jurisdictions where local codes have been preempted.
