R-1 Zoning Recap (1/2)

• Much of Sammamish’s zoning (inc. R-1) inherited from King County.

• Some correlation with environmentally critical areas, but not an exact match.

• Other historic reasons for R-1 (1993):• Significant open space value; can function as

separator between growth areas and rural area. • Long term obstacles to provision of urban services

and infrastructure• Area developed with a pattern of 1-acre lots

R-1 Parcels and Environmentally Critical Areas

R-1 Zoning Recap (2/2)

R-1 Parcels and Environmentally Critical Areas

• City has made attempts to resolve R-1 issues, but none have come to a conclusion.

• 2003 Comprehensive Plan – “interim zoning” for parcels under review for downzone from R-4/6 to R-1

• 2012 Docket proposal to allow R-1 properties to use gross density instead of net density.

• 2005: Switch from gross to net density.

• Up-zoning R-1 not required to meet housing targets.

• Current TDR program an alternative to rezoning.
