(4.3.25) City Council action on the One Seattle Comprehensive Plan is anticipated near the end of 2025 subject to resolution of EIS appeals. In the meantime the Council will take action on an Interim State Zoning Compliance bill to meet the deadline (June 2025) to implement the State HB 1110 Middle Housing bill requiring the new NR 4-unit zone to replace existing Single Family zones.
The MCC Land Use Committee has scheduled a May 21 meeting and is inviting interested neighbors to comment on the One Seattle Comp Plan proposals for the Magnolia Village and North Magnolia Neighborhood Centers.
The meeting will be held Wednesday, May 21st, 6:00 to 7:30PM at the Magnolia Branch Library.

(3.13.25) MCC hosted City Council members Robert Kettle and Dan Strauss at the February MCC Meeting to review the status of the Mayor’s One Seattle Comprehensive Plan and answer questions from community members. The meeting was well attended and neighbors were able to bring forward their comments about the proposed zoning changes, preserving significant tree canopy, the importance of reinforcing the vitality of Magnolia Village, the need to ensure that infrastructure is available to support increased building, and the need to recognize the dilapidated state of the Magnolia Bridge when making zoning and transit decisions.

Subsequent to last month’s MCC meeting CM Dan Strauss invited MCC representatives to participate in a walk around the North Magnolia Neighborhood Center and the Magnolia Village Neighborhood Center scheduled for March 14th. In addition Strauss’ staff are preparing a visualization of the proposed zoning changes in these centers and along 34th Ave W that will be shared with us.

We’ve reached out to CM Kettle’s office for updates on the SE Magnolia L3 up zone Proposal and on his comments relative to a ‘mini village’ of activity along 20th Ave W adjacent to the Dravus Neighborhood Center.
After months of research and work with the Magnolia Community, MCC has finalized our letter of response that has been sent to the Office of Planning and Development. Read our letter here.
