Proposed code change would reduce covered parking setbacks for Bridal Village housing demonstration program

Deb Bell, council staff, presented Ordinance 26-007, introduced by Councilmember Nehring, which would reduce required setbacks for covered parking structures under the Bridal Village housing demonstration program and add a new section to the Snohomish County Code (proposed SCC 30.41H.105). Bell reviewed the program’s origins: the council approved Ordinance 203-501 in June 2023 to establish the demonstration program, and Motion 205-0505 referred the proposed code amendment to the planning commission.
