Marysville public hearing on interim middle housing zoning was scheduled for July 14

What the records say

The July 14, 2025 Marysville City Council agenda listed a public hearing on Interim Ordinance 3352, described as an interim ordinance that adopted interim zoning regulations and other interim official controls to comply with Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 1110 and Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2321 on middle housing, amending impacted titles of the Marysville Municipal Code ¹. The agenda says the ordinance was adopted June 23, 2025, and that no action was requested at the July 14 hearing; it was set to accept testimony on the interim ordinance ¹. The June 23 meeting minutes in the same packet show the Council adopted Ordinance 3352 on a 5-0 vote, with one councilmember recused, after amending Exhibit NN so the ordinance does not remove single-family homes as an allowed use in the R-18 and R-28 zones ¹. The packet links to Ordinance 3352 but the supplied text does not include the ordinance's detailed provisions ¹. Analysis: Because no action was requested, the July 14 item appears to have been a comment opportunity rather than a vote, based on the agenda's description ¹.

Why it matters

The ordinance changed interim zoning rules tied to state middle housing law, and the June 23 vote preserved single-family as an allowed use in the R-18 and R-28 zones while adopting the rest of the interim middle housing regulations ¹. Analysis: Zoning rules affect what housing types are allowed and where, so residents who care about lot sizes, density, or housing types in specific zones had a direct comment opportunity at this hearing. The supplied record does not detail specific neighborhood effects or final terms ¹.
