SOURCE: Section 189 of Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 5693, of the supplemental operating budget for fiscal
year 2023 is provided solely for Commerce to administer grants to eligible cities for actions relating to adopting

residential. For the purposes of this grant program, "middle housing types" include duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes,
fiveplexes, sixplexes, townhouses, courtyard apartments, cottage housing, and stacked flats.
a)A city is eligible to receive a grant if:
i.The city is required to plan under RCW 36.70A.040; and
ii.The city is required to take action on or before June 30, 2024, to review and, if needed,
revise its comprehensive plan and development regulations pursuant to RCW
36.70A.130(5)(a).
b)Grant recipients must use grant funding for costs to conduct at least three of the following
activities:
i.Analyzing comprehensive plan policies and municipal code to determine the extent of
amendments required to meet the goal of authorizing middle housing types on at least 30
percent of lots currently zoned as single family residential;
ii.Preparing informational material for the public;
iii.Conducting outreach, including with the assistance of community-based organizations, to
inform and solicit feedback from a representative group of renters and owner-occupied
households in residential neighborhoods, and from for-profit and nonprofit residential
developers;
iv.Drafting proposed amendments to zoning ordinances for consideration by the city
planning commission and city council;
v.Holding city planning commission public hearings;
vi.Publicizing and presenting the city planning commission's recommendations to the city
council; and
vii.Holding city council public hearings on the planning commission's recommendations.
c)Before updating their zoning ordinances, a city must use a racial equity analysis and establish
antidisplacement policies as required under RCW 36.70A.070(2)(e) through (h) to ensure there will
be no net displacement of very low, low, or moderate-income households, as defined in RCW
43.63A.510, or individuals from racial, ethnic, and religious communities which have been subject
to discriminatory housing policies in the past.
d)Commerce will prioritize applicants who:
i.Aim to authorize middle housing types in the greatest proportion of zones; and
ii.Subcontract with multiple community-based organizations that represent different
vulnerable populations in overburdened communities, as defined in RCW 70A.02.010,
that have traditionally been disparately impacted by planning and zoning policies and
practices, to engage in eligible activities as described in (b) of this subsection.
Commerce will be monitoring the contracts biannually to review progress in meeting milestones,
deliverables and invoicing.

subject to discriminatory housing policies
in the past. Identify local policies and
regulations that result in racially disparate
