Description
ABSTRACT: Is there Still a Place in Seattle for the Single-Family Detached Housing Typology, Given the Acute Need for Affordable Housing?
This expert panel will explore the intersection between existing zoning laws and well-established neighborhood patterns of development, on the one hand, and the acute need for the increased production and availability of affordable housing, in the greater Seattle area, including in and near the City of Seattle’s Central Business District, as well as other close-in employment centers, on the other hand. The genesis of this Special Topic in the Innovating the Built Environment SITIE2020 course came out of a series of articles published during the SITIE2019 course reporting on several cities throughout the U.S., including Minneapolis, MN, contemplating the elimination of single-family detached zoning from their zoning and land use codes as part of a larger strategy for ramping up affordable housing production.
