Background Information:

The STEP Advisory Committee is preparing an advisory report to the City Council at the end of September 2025 on proposed amendments to the City’s zoning regulations regarding STEP Housing. The proposed amendments to zoning regulations for STEP Housing are to provide clarity and consistency with State Law HB 1220, which was passed to encourage jurisdictions to accommodate STEP Housing.

While Kenmore’s zoning regulations allow STEP housing, amendments will provide continuity, for example, in the definition of housing type, which zones housing types are permitted, and the review process.

STEP Housing In-Person Open House:
Wednesday, September 17, 6-8pm
Kenmore City Hall, 18120 68 Ave NE
