Request for Comments on Proposed Ordinance to Update SMC 23.54.040

Seattle Public Utilities Solid Waste and SDCI seek comments from the development community on a proposed ordinance to update SMC Land Use Code 23.54.040 - Solid Waste Storage & Access.

SMC 23.54.040 has not had a substantial update in 16 years. Many sections fail to meet the needs of an increasingly dense city and do not match long-required collection contractor safety standards. Additionally, the section must be amended to cover changes in zoning, address the Comprehensive Plan, and comply with new state housing policies.

We invite you to read the summary of proposed changes and provide comments on the proposed ordinance. Please contact Angela Wallis, SPU Solid Waste development review supervisor, at [email protected] or (206) 300-8295 by 5:00 p.m. November 13 to provide your comments and suggestions.
