'I don't think it's a terribly bold thing to say and explicitly say that yes, duplexes can be and should be allowed under our code.'
Roughly 70% of Shoreline is zoned almost entirely for single-family homes, excepting instances with accessory dwelling units and basement dwellings where the owner also lives in the residence. The hope from Councilmember Chris Roberts is to provide more options by allowing duplexes and triplexes to be built in those areas, which he says could effectively triple the city’s housing supply.
“When we think about all of this, I don’t think it’s a terribly bold thing to say and explicitly say that yes, duplexes can be and should be allowed under our code,” Roberts continued. “I think it’s just sort of a natural evolution of where we are.” Among those in support of the proposal was Councilmember Eben Pobee, who pointed to how it could open up more options for younger first-time home buyers in a market where many have already been priced out.
