# October 28, 2026 Meeting of the Duvall Planning Commission

The Duvall Planning Commission met on October 28, 2026, for a work session on proposed comprehensive plan, Title 14 zoning code, and design standards amendments scheduled for public hearings on November 4. Staff reviewed changes responding to state Growth Management Act requirements and Commerce feedback, including housing capacity, affordable-housing funding gaps, displacement risks, and emergency housing. Staff estimated a roughly $140 million gap for constructing housing affordable to households at 0–50% of area median income; this was an analysis figure, not a budget allocation. Commissioners discussed development feasibility, middle housing, building heights, design review, and infrastructure capacity.

The Commission moved to recommend a mandatory 5% affordable-housing requirement for qualifying new development, and voted to remove proposed tiered setback language. Commissioners also supported keeping proposed height limits and discussed whether design standards should apply in different zoning districts; staff will incorporate feedback and address drafting inconsistencies. Siri Erickson Brown was elected vice chair. No contract awards, vendor selections, procurement actions, or spending approvals were identified; the meeting’s actions concerned planning and land-use regulations.
