Home in Tacoma Implementation Begins February 1
Washingtoner/10281621

~ Tacoma, Wash. - The City of Tacoma is set to begin implementing the Home in Tacoma zoning and standards package on February 1, 2025. This follows extensive community engagement and the adoption of Ordinance 28793 in November of last year.

The package aims to promote greater housing diversity and affordability throughout Tacoma by introducing new zoning regulations. This includes the establishment of three new Urban Residential (UR) zones, which will replace existing residential zoning. These zones will allow for a variety of innovative housing types such as houseplexes, backyard cottages, rowhouses, courtyard housing, and multiplexes.
