Kirkland council adopts state‑required co‑living rules and miscellaneous zoning amendments

The Kirkland City Council adopted a co‑living housing regulation as required by state law and also approved miscellaneous amendments to sections of the Kirkland zoning code and municipal code at its Sept. 16 meeting, the podcast hosts reported.

The transcript does not provide vote tallies or the full text of the adopted regulations. The council’s actions were described as formal adoptions; the hosts did not quote council members or record specific motions or roll‑call votes in the broadcast.

During the same meeting, the council’s study session included an overview of Kirkland municipal court services and an update on the Kirkland Fire Department’s mobile integrated health program. Those items were presented for discussion in the study session; the transcript does not record formal council decisions or follow‑up directions tied to those presentations.

Discussion vs. decision: the council’s adoption of the co‑living regulation and the miscellaneous code amendments are formal decisions recorded by the hosts as adopted. The municipal court overview and mobile integrated health program were discussed in a study session and described as updates or presentations rather than final council actions.
