Council schedules final readings for two housing code ordinances
Summary
The Renton City Council voted to place a middle housing code update ordinance (No. 6160) and a commercial‑to‑residential conversion ordinance on final reading at the next council meeting.
The Renton City Council voted to move two housing‑related ordinances to final reading at the council’s next meeting.
Council Member Prince moved to place Ordinance No. 6160, an update to middle housing code and numerous sections of the Renton Municipal Code, on final reading; Council Member McGurvin seconded the motion and the council approved it by voice vote. The council took the same action to set final reading for the ordinance updating zoning and development regulations to allow additional housing units in existing commercial buildings (docket 237; commercial‑to‑residential conversion).
What the ordinances do: the first ordinance (No. 6160) amends multiple sections of the Renton Municipal Code related to middle housing and technical corrections; the second ordinance amends subsections of the code to update zoning and development regulations to facilitate conversion of commercial space into housing units. The meeting record shows motions to place both items on final reading at the next council meeting; ordinance text and detailed code revisions will be presented at that final reading.
The council did not record a roll‑call vote or detailed debate in this meeting’s transcript on either ordinance; no final adoptions occurred at this session.
