Sequim City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 18

21 SUPPLEMENTAL HOUSING REQUIREMENTS

§ 18.21.010 Purpose.

This chapter establishes supplemental housing standards applicable to residential development within the city of Sequim. These standards are based on Washington state legislation that requires the city to adopt codes that address specific housing needs.
This chapter is intended to provide processes for administering the state requirements. By adopting this chapter, the codes under this chapter will supersede any potential conflicts with other adopted regulations within this Title or Sequim Municipal Code.
(Ord. 2026-003, 3/23/2026)

§ 18.21.020 Definitions.

means a residential unit that is located on the same lot as a principal dwelling unit and provides complete independent living facilities for one or more person. An ADU may be:
Within or attached to a principal dwelling;
Within a detached structure; or
A converted existing structure such as a garage.
means a residential home in which a person or persons provide personal care, special care, room, and board to more than one but not more than six adults who are not related by blood or marriage to the person or persons providing the services. An adult family home may provide services to up to eight adults upon approval from the state department of social and health services under RCW 70.128.066.
means, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, residential housing whose monthly costs, including utilities other than telephone, do not exceed 30 percent of the monthly income of a household whose income is:
For rental housing, 50 percent of the median household income adjusted for household size, for the county where the household is located, as reported by the United States department of housing and urban development; or
For owner-occupied housing, 80 percent of the median household income adjusted for household size, for the county where the household is located, as reported by the United States department of housing and urban development.
is as defined in RCW 36.70A.535 and means a residential development with sleeping units that are independently rented and lockable and provide living and sleeping space, and residents share kitchen facilities with other sleeping units in the building.
means a unit in a property subject to the Washington Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act, (Chapter 64.90 RCW), including units created through legal condominium conversion.
means temporary indoor accommodations for individuals or families who are homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless that is intended to address the basic health, food, clothing, and personal hygiene needs of individuals or families. Emergency housing may or may not require occupants to enter into a lease or an occupancy agreement. This does not include temporary housing on religious property.
means a facility that provides a temporary shelter for individuals or families who are currently homeless. Emergency shelter may not require occupants to enter into a lease or an occupancy agreement. Emergency shelter facilities may include day and warming centers that do not provide overnight accommodation. This does not include temporary housing on religious property.
for the purposes of this chapter means a building that received a certificate of occupancy at least three years prior to the permit application to add housing units.
means a residential dwelling in which one or more caregivers provide room, board, and supportive services to no more than 12 unrelated residents, including children under foster care or state supervision, seniors, or adults needing assistance, such as individuals in recovery or requiring non-medical supervision. This use may include licensed adult family homes but does not include assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, or other licensed medical or institutional care facilities. The home operates in a non-institutional, home-like manner and must comply with applicable building, fire, and life-safety code.
means a place of residence for the handicapped, physically or mentally disabled, developmentally disabled, homeless, or otherwise dependent persons. Group homes are intended to provide residential facilities in a home-like environment. Such homes range from licensed establishments operated with 24-hour supervision to nonlicensed facilities offering only shelter. The primary purpose of a group care facility is to enable residents to live as independently as possible while receiving the necessary supervision and care. This use may include licensed assisted living facilities and similar residential care settings, and operates in a non-institutional, home-like manner while complying with applicable building, fire, and life-safety codes.
in addition to the definition set forth in SMC Chapter 18.08, and consistent with RCW 35.21.682, includes any number of unrelated persons occupying a dwelling unit. This definition does not apply to occupant limits for group living arrangements regulated under state law, short-term rentals as defined in RCW 64.37.010, or lawful limits on occupant load based on floor area or other generally applicable health and safety standards established by the building code or city ordinance.
as used in this Chapter means income that does not exceed 80 percent of the median income for Clallam County.

means a licensed medical care facility that provides continuous skilled nursing and medical supervision for residents who are unable to live independently due to illness, chronic conditions, or physical or cognitive limitations. Unlike assisted living facilities, which primarily provide housing and basic supportive services, nursing homes are designed to deliver 24-hour nursing care, convalescent services, and medical treatment. Nursing homes may serve elderly, disabled, or medically dependent individuals and must comply with applicable state licensing requirements, building, fire, and life-safety codes. Nursing homes do not include adult family homes, independent living units, or assisted living facilities as defined in this chapter.
means subsidized, leased housing with no limit on length of stay that prioritizes people who need comprehensive support services to retain tenancy and utilizes admissions practices designed to use lower barriers to entry than would be typical for other subsidized or unsubsidized rental housing, especially related to rental history, criminal history, and personal behaviors. Permanent supportive housing is paired with on-site or off-site voluntary services designed to support a person living with a complex and disabling behavioral health or physical health condition who was experiencing homelessness or was at imminent risk of homelessness before moving into housing to retain their housing and be a successful tenant in a housing arrangement, improve the resident's health status, and connect the resident of the housing with community-based health care, treatment, or employment services. Permanent supportive housing is subject to all of the rights and responsibilities defined in Chapter 59.18 RCW.
means the primary residential structure on a lot used for permanent habitation.
means housing or shelter, such as an outdoor encampment, indoor overnight shelter, temporary small house on-site, or vehicle resident safe parking, for homeless persons on property owned or controlled by the religious organization.
means housing owned or managed by a nonprofit or government entity that provides both living accommodations and supportive services for formerly homeless individuals or families, with the intention of stabilizing participants and helping them move into permanent housing, typically for up to 24 months, unless extended for age-specific or service-completion programs.

Supportive Housing.
Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) and Transitional Housing. The number of PSH or transitional housing units allowed on any given property can be no more than the number of standard dwelling units that would be allowed under the zoning of the property. PSH and transitional housing must comply with all standards of the zone in which the said housing is located, except as allowed in subsection B.3 of this section.
Emergency Shelter and Emergency Housing. Emergency shelter housing within nonresidential and mixed-use zones, as permitted in Table 18.21.020, must comply with all standards of the zone in which the housing is located, except as allowed in subsection B.3 of this section.
Alternative development standards allowed by Section 18.21.060, Affordable housing exceptions, may allow supportive or emergency housing options that do not otherwise meet the standard requirements of the underlying zone.
New Housing Units within Existing Buildings. Per RCW 35.21.990, new dwelling units may be established wholly within the existing envelope of a lawfully constructed building located in a zoning district that permits multifamily residential use, subject to compliance with generally applicable health and safety regulations.
Where new dwelling units are created entirely within an existing building envelope residential density may exceed the maximum density of the underlying zoning district by up to 50 percent, if all applicable building and fire code requirements are met.
Parking.
No additional off-street parking is required for dwelling units added within an existing building.
Existing parking spaces required to serve existing residential uses or remaining nonresidential uses must be retained.
Permitting. Except for emergency housing and transitional housing, no permitting requirements on the residential use of an existing building are imposed beyond those generally applicable to residential development in the zoning district, including but not limited to requiring a change of use permit.
Development Standards. No development standards, such as setbacks, lot coverage, floor area ratio, or similar bulk or dimensional requirements are imposed on residential use within an existing building beyond those standards that generally apply to residential development in the zoning district, except as authorized by RCW 36.70A.810 and 36.70A.812.
Design Standards. Exterior design or architectural standards are not required for the residential use of an existing building except where necessary to address health and safety concerns related to interior occupancy or for required frontage improvements.
Location of Units within Buildings. Housing units may be located within any portion of an existing building.
Energy Code Compliance.
Portions of an existing building previously used for residential or permit-approved conditioned space will not be required to comply with the current energy code solely due to the addition of new dwelling units elsewhere in the building.
Where nonresidential space is converted to dwelling units, only the portions of the building undergoing change must comply with the current energy code, except that compliance is not required when:
The total square footage of new dwelling units does not exceed 2,500 square feet or 50 percent of the total building square footage, whichever is greater;
The building owner submits documentation, in a form acceptable to the city, demonstrating that the projected residential energy use intensity meets or is less than the applicable clean buildings performance standard under RCW 19.27A.210; or
An additional dwelling unit is created within an existing single-family residence in a residential zoning district.
Nonconformities. A building permit for the addition of dwelling units within an existing building will not be denied solely due to existing nonconformities related to parking, height, setbacks, elevator size for gurney transport, or building modulation, unless the city makes written findings that the nonconformity creates significant harm or damage to the surrounding area.
Concurrency and Environmental Review. The addition of dwelling units within an existing building will not, by itself, require a transportation concurrency study under RCW 36.70A.070 or environmental review under Chapter 43.21C RCW.
(Ord. 2026-003, 3/23/2026)

§ 18.21.040 Residential parking requirements.

The following standards, in addition to the requirements of SMC Chapter 18.48, are required for all new residential developments per RCW 36.70A.622:
Parking spaces that count towards minimum parking requirements may be enclosed or unenclosed.
Parking spaces in tandem must count towards meeting minimum parking requirements at a rate of one space for every 20 linear feet with any necessary provisions for turning radius. For purposes of this subsection, "tandem" is defined as having two or more vehicles, one in front of or behind the others with a single means of ingress and egress.
Pre-existing, legal nonconforming, gravel surfacing in-designated parking areas can be used to meet required parking standards, up to a maximum of six parking spaces.
Parking spaces may not exceed eight feet by 20 feet, except for required ADA parking spaces or tandem spaces allowed in subsection B of this section.
Parking spaces that consist of grass block pavers may count toward minimum parking requirements.
Permanent supportive housing units are not required to provide parking. Parking reductions for other affordable housing types can be sought through SMC § 18.21.050.
(Ord. 2026-003, 3/23/2026)

§ 18.21.050 Accessory dwelling units.

Purpose. The purpose of this section is to promote the development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in a manner consistent with RCW 36.70A.680 and RCW 36.70A.681, to support housing affordability, enable efficient use of existing housing stock and infrastructure, provide housing options for a range of household types, and implement the goals of the Growth Management Act. ADUs contribute to the city's housing supply and provide opportunities for multigenerational housing and rental homes in residential neighborhoods.
Designation. In all zoning districts where single family residential uses are allowed, a maximum of two accessory dwelling units are allowed per lot, in addition to one principal dwelling unit, provided the lot meets the minimum size for the principal unit and all other applicable criteria of this chapter are met. ADUs may be in any combination of attached units, detached units, or conversions of an existing structure such as a garage.
Exhibit 18.21.050 Examples of Accessory Dwelling Units
Procedure.
Construction or establishment of an ADU will be through the building permit process.
No deed restrictions, occupancy covenants, or long-term rental commitments are required as conditions of approval for ADUs.
No street or frontage improvements (such as sidewalks, curbs, or street widening) are required as a condition of ADU approval.
Standards.
Size.
ADUs must not be larger than 1,000 square feet in total gross floor area, except as provided for in subsection D.1.b of this section.
There is no maximum ADU size limit for existing spaces (such as existing attached or detached garages, basements, outbuildings) proposed for conversion to ADU. The space currently or as permitted through remodeling must meet applicable building and fire code for habitable spaces or structures.
Setbacks, Lot Coverage, Height, and Entry Orientation. ADUs are subject to the same setback, lot coverage, height, yard, entry door location, and external stair placement standards as the principal dwelling.
Parking.
Additional on-site parking is not required for ADUs located within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop.
For ADUs not located within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop, one parking space per unit is required.
Design Review and Aesthetic Standards. ADUs are subject to the same aesthetic design standards as those applied to the principal dwelling unit.
Utilities. Separate utility connections are not required unless necessary due to health or safety codes.
Additional Requirements.
ADUs may be sold as a condominium or conveyed independently of the principal unit.
Sale or ownership of an ADU is allowed through the unit lot subdivision process (SMC Chapter 17.50) or through applicable condominium laws.
New common interest communities or subdivisions cannot restrict the creation or sale of ADUs through covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) adopted after July 23, 2024.
Approval.
An ADU will be approved if it meets the standards in this chapter and applicable state codes.
An ADU is valid and transferable with the property unless voluntarily removed by the property owner.
