Middle Housing Survey

This survey is one of several ways the City seeks to gather public comment and feedback on proposed code amendments to address new housing requirements in state law. It is not intended to be a statistically valid survey on this subject. If you have additional comments please submit them to middle@ci.olympia.wa.us.

This survey is meant for people who have read the Draft Middle Housing Code, Accessory Dwelling Unit and Co-Living Housing Code Amendments. The draft is available online at olympiawa.gov/middlehousing. Most of the proposed revisions are necessary to address new requirements in state law. To identify the main issues in the draft, where local policy choices were made in developing it, please see Policy Decision Points used in Draft.

Please note that while additional housing types and units may be allowed, it will be up to each applicant to demonstrate that the proposal will fit on the lot and meet requirements for things like setbacks, lot coverage, and parking.
