Share input on updated draft middle housing model ordinances and user guide
The Department of Commerce is seeking your feedback on the draft updates to middle housing model ordinances and the middle housing model ordinance user guide. These two ordinances, and the accompanying user guide, will provide technical assistance and guidance to cities adopting their own middle housing ordinances, regulations, and other official controls.
These updates reflect the 2024 amendments to the middle housing legislation made by HB 2321 [ [link removed] ] and the experience of cities implementing it since the model ordinances and user guide were originally published [ [link removed] ] in January 2024. Seventy-seven cities are subject to the original middle housing legislation (HB 1110 [ [link removed] ]) passed in 2023.
