Zoning
DPD is responsible for the body of regulations that govern the use and development of land in Seattle.  Zoning districts specify a category of uses (e.g., single-family residential, multifamily residential, commercial, industrial, etc.) and are applied by ordinance, geographically on the City's official land use map.

Land Use Procedure Changes
The City Council is sponsoring legislation that would amend Seattle’s regulations for processing land use permits. The proposed amendments would streamline administration of the Land Use Code and update methods for public notice.

Multifamily Zoning Update 
The Multifamily Zoning Update is part of the Mayor's commitment to a comprehensive re-evaluation of Seattle’s Land Use Code.

Planning Exhibit
Urban Agriculture
The Urban Agriculture planning exhibit is on display in the Seattle Municipal Tower level 3 lobby.
