The 2024 update to the Comprehensive Plan will require extensive policy changes to the current Edmonds Community Development Code in order to implement and comply with new Washington State law for housing diversity, affordability, and equity. These changes must be implemented by July 2025 or the model ordinance produced by the Department of Commerce will supersede local development regulation.
As the Comprehensive Plan nears adoption, city staff is reviewing the extent of development code changes required. A project scope, timeline, and process will be provided on this page shortly.
