Office of Planning & Community Development
Rico Quirindongo, Acting Director
Background
King County's Vision 2050
- Seattle's Comprehensive Plan must be consistent with the plan for the four-county region, Vision 2050, and with King County's Countywide Planning Policies.
Equitable Development Monitoring Program
- An ongoing source of data and analysis to inform work to reduce race-based disparities, advance equity, and combat displacement.
- Community Indicators: To gauge progress on housing affordability, neighborhood livability, transportation, and education and economic opportunity.
- Heightened Displacement Risk Indicators: To increase our understanding of displacement and detect heightened displacement risks.
Housing Choices
- We have done significant work to understand the housing market and what types of new housing people want to see more of. The Market-rate Housing Needs and Supply Analysis (by BERK Consulting, 2021) provides detailed information on market-rate housing needs and supply today and over the next 20 years. We also conducted significant outreach as part of the Housing Choices Initiative to understand the housing needs of people who live and work in Seattle and identify opportunities to shape market-rate housing development to serve these needs. Feedback received as part of this work is summarized in the Housing Choices Public Engagement Summary.
