Tier 1 – at least 75,000, Tier 2 -25,000-74,999, Tier 3 - less than 25,000. • Dept. of Commerce released a middle housing model ordinance late January 2024 to provide guidance on implementation of HB 1110. • City was awarded a Commerce grant for work on middle housing ordinance. Kickoff meeting with Makers Architecture and Urban Design and city staff occurred February 2024. Grant work also includes a public participation plan detailing stakeholder identification, outreach, and public engagement. MIDDLE HOUSING WHAT IS MIDDLE HOUSING? • Housing types that are between single-family residential and large-scale multi-family residential. • The Legislature’s findings in HB 1110 identified a need for housing at all income levels, including middle housing, that will provide a wider variety of housing options and configurations to allow Washingtonians to live near where they work. MIDDLE HOUSING HOUSING TYPOLOGIES • HB 1110 defines "Middle housing" as “buildings that are compatible in scale, form, and character with single-family houses and contain two or more attached, stacked, or clustered homes including duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, fiveplexes, sixplexes, townhouses, stacked flats, courtyard apartments, and cottage housing.” • As a Tier 1 city, Renton must allow at least six (6) of the nine (9) types of middle housing. MIDDLE HOUSING HB 1110 | OVERVIEW OF REQUIREMENTS • As a Tier 1 city, Renton is required to allow a minimum of four (4) units on any residential zoned lot. ◦ Minimum of six (6) units if within ¼ mile major transit stop (RapidRide F-Line and future I-Line and Sound Transit S1-Line) or if at least two (2) of the units are affordable. • May only require one (1) parking space per unit for lots less than 6,000 square feet. ◦ May require two (2) spaces per unit for lots larger than 6,000 square feet. • May not require any parking for units within ½ mile of major transit stop. • May not require any standards for middle housing that are more restrictive than what is required for single-family residential. Typical standards include setbacks, height, lot coverage, stormwater, and tree regulations. • HB 1110 must be adopted and ready to implement no later than six (6) months after the deadline for the periodic update to the City’s Comprehensive Plan (June 30, 2025). RENTAL PROTECTIONS RENTAL PROTECTIONS RECOMMENDED STRATEGY 8 RENTAL PROTECTIONS RENTAL REGISTRATION PROGRAM 2024 Q1 – PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION • Program staffing • Registration outreach • Tracking • Request for service • Code compliance inspection for housing violations • Tenant education RENTAL PROTECTIONS RENTAL REGISTRATION PROGRAM 2024 PROGRAM GOALS • Increase tenant outreach and education • Increase ease of landlord registration • Develop auto generate mailing renewals • Continue to work with surrounding jurisdictions on “best practices” for rental housing and inspections. • Capitalize on data collected through the program to inform future decision on rental protection. HOMELESSNESS HOMELESSNESS PARTNERSHIPS • Leverage existing efforts and partnerships to provide housing capacity (i.e. Renton Housing Authority, SKHHP, etc.). • Explorer public-private partnerships providing opportunities for affordable housing capacity that meet the needs of the unhoused. • Evaluating opportunities to partner with non-profits like Peer Washington that can enhance the City’s efforts to connect the unhoused to housing and other resources.
