# September 1, 2026 Committee of the Whole Workshop and Regular Council Meeting

The City of Duvall’s Committee of the Whole workshop and regular Council meeting on September 1, 2026, focused primarily on proposed Comprehensive Plan and Title 14 zoning and design-code amendments. Staff described work to meet state housing-capacity and affordability requirements, revise development and design standards, and clarify how design departures are reviewed; council members supported exploring additional review of departures. Public commenters urged the city to hold a town hall and raised concerns about proposed density and building-height changes. No construction contract, bid, or vendor award was considered.

Council discussed affordable-housing measures, including property-tax exemptions, development bonuses, and a possible mandatory affordability requirement. Members generally supported staff returning with an Option C proposal, including a 10% affordable-unit requirement, while the development-size threshold, eligible zones, and incentives remain undecided; staff will provide a worksheet for further direction. Staff also requested priorities for the next two-year Community Development work plan, which may involve consultant costs or staff time, and noted upcoming shoreline-plan and climate-resiliency work. No procurement award or spending vote was identified; the council voted to adopt the meeting agenda.
