Seattle City Councilmember Dan Strauss talks about legislation he sponsored to allow more growth in downtown Seattle. The bill unanimously passed Council on June 20, 2023. This bill amends the City’s Environmental Policies and Procedures to increase the size of development in Downtown Seattle that is exempt from review under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) to reflect changes to State law. Because, Downtown Seattle has reached its 20-year estimated growth under the Comprehensive Plan, Seattle’s current SEPA regulations require environmental review for residential projects up to 20 units, or non residential projects that are 12,000 square feet or smaller. Consistent with SEPA and its regulations, this bill would raise those levels to exempt projects up to 200 units, and non-residential projects that are 30,000 square feet or smaller. Attachment 1 to the bill summarizes how the environmental impacts of development Downtown are currently mitigated through other regulations.
