Design review changes are coming to the City of Seattle. Please tell us your thoughts by November 27:

?(Survey in English)

(Encuesta en Espa?ol)

Design review is currently required for most new larger buildings in the City of Seattle. It includes public notice with the ability for neighborhoods to comment on the appearance of new buildings. City of Seattle Staff and volunteer Design Review Boards review new buildings to make sure they meet the Design Guidelines.

?

Recent changes to Washington State law require us to make changes to Seattle’s Design Review program.

?

SEVA Workshop is asking for people’s feedback on several topics, including:?

• Which areas of Seattle should require Design Review for new construction
• Which types of new construction should go through Design Review
• When and how people can comment on new construction projects
• How to update the Design Guidelines to be easier to understand
• How adding incentives for new construction could improve equity

Some of the possible design review program changes could include:

• Limiting projects to only one public meeting,
• Streamlining the Design Review process to be quicker and less costly for applicants, and
• Reducing the number of projects that are required to go through Design Review (if new construction does not require design review, then most new buildings will not include any public comment period or public notice)

?

SDCI’s goal is to update the Design Review program before the Washington state’s??deadline of June 30, 2025.??
