Seattle scraps 'single-family zoning' label over racism fears
Fox News
"Single-family zoning" is no more in Seattle following a city council vote Monday.
"The legislation passed today brings us one step closer to a more inclusive Seattle," Mosqueda said in a news release following the bill’s passage. "Today, we recognize neighborhoods across our city are home to diverse housing built before increasingly restrictive zoning went into place."
The legislation is in response to the Seattle Planning Commission’s repeated request every year since 2018 to change the name of single-family only to "Neighborhood Residential," as laid out in their Neighborhoods for All report.
