Everett Planning Commission meeting: March 17, 2026

The City of Everett Planning Commission held a meeting on March 17, 2026, focusing primarily on zoning and housing policy updates. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing the implementation of a new manufactured home community zoning designation aimed at preserving affordable housing in existing mobile home parks. The commission reviewed proposed code changes to establish this zoning, prohibit new mobile home parks, and regulate replacement of units on a one-for-one basis. Public comments highlighted concerns about displacement caused by private equity ownership and redevelopment pressures. The commission voted to open a public hearing and subsequently passed Resolution 26-01 to adopt the new zoning regulations. Additionally, staff provided updates on ongoing planning projects, including sub-area planning and annexation efforts, and discussed coordination challenges related to impact fees for accessory dwelling units. No specific contract awards or procurement actions were reported during this meeting.
