Council makes co‑living rules permanent with passage of Ordinance 2842
Summary
The Enumclaw City Council voted to adopt Ordinance No. 2842, permanently incorporating co‑living housing allowances into the municipal code and adding definitions and minimum unit features such as kitchenettes and bathrooms.
The Enumclaw City Council voted on Aug. 10 to adopt Ordinance No. 2842, which permanently implements co‑living housing allowances in the municipal code.
Community Director Chris Bessner told the council the ordinance is unchanged from the interim rules adopted earlier this year except for clarified definitions for "kitchen" and "kitchenette," and a requirement that each co‑living unit include a kitchenette and a bathroom. "Staff is recommending to pass ordinance 2,842," Bessner said during the staff report.
Councilmembers moved and seconded the ordinance adoption and approved it by voice vote. Councilmembers noted the city is at the cap allowed by state law for any additional requirements and indicated reluctant support built on that legal limit.
