# September 23, 2026 Meeting of the Duvall Planning Commission

The September 23, 2026, Duvall Planning Commission meeting focused on revisions to the comprehensive plan and zoning code, including changes intended to address an appeal concerning housing and employment capacity within the city. Staff discussed potential upzoning, floor-area-ratio limits, design-review standards for remodels and new construction, Old Town development standards, and possible middle-housing options. The Commission also discussed the City Council’s preference for mandatory affordable-housing requirements over incentives, including the potential administrative burden of joining ARCH or dedicating staff resources; an in-lieu fee of $34 per square foot was cited. No zoning or affordable-housing provisions were adopted at this meeting.

The Commission moved to direct staff to incorporate the feedback on the comprehensive plan, design standards, and Title 14 zoning code and return with revisions and discussion items on October 14. The transcript indicates the motion was seconded and approved. No procurement activity—such as contracts, bids, vendor selections, or purchasing approvals—was identified; the meeting concerned planning and regulatory matters.
