Summary
Town Planner Bill Trimm outlined options flowing from state laws HB 1110 and HB 1337; councilmembers and planning commissioners discussed potential changes to Woodway’s middle‑housing and accessory dwelling unit rules at a Feb. 8 special meeting. No formal actions were recorded.
Town Planner Bill Trimm presented information on state zoning requirements and the implementation options stemming from House Bills 1110 and 1337 at a Feb. 8 special joint meeting of the Town of Woodway Council and Planning Commission. The meeting opened at 9:02 a.m.; the minutes record the meeting ending at 10:12 a.m.
Trimm told elected officials and commissioners that the state legislation creates several pathways for municipalities to update local regulations for middle housing and accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Councilmembers and planning commissioners asked questions and discussed trade‑offs among the options staff outlined, including how changes could affect local development patterns and administrative processes. The minutes record discussion but do not list any motions, votes, or formal directions to staff.
Mayor Mike Quinn and Planning Commission Chair Per Odegaard called the joint meeting to order. Present at the meeting were all councilmembers and planning commissioners listed in the minutes, Town Administrator Eric Faison, Clerk‑Treasurer Heidi Napolitino, Town Attorney Greg Rubstello, Public Works Director Collin Harlow, Town Engineer John Forba, Police Chief Jason Valentine and Fire Chief Matt Cowan. The meeting packet and minutes identify HB 1110 and HB 1337 as the state laws prompting the review; the minutes do not specify which implementation option, if any, the town selected.
The minutes serve as an official record of the presentation and the discussion. They do not indicate a timeline for next steps or a vote; further action, if any, would be reflected in later meeting agendas and minutes.
