The Roots to Roofs Pilot Program, administered by the Seattle Office of Planning and Community Development, is a term-limited initiative established by Ordinance 127308 to encourage the development of low- to moderate-income housing and community-serving equitable development uses. The program provides alternative development standards for eligible projects, including exemptions from certain floor area ratio limits in multifamily and commercial zones and outright allowance in neighborhood residential zones. To qualify, a project must be a qualifying development, meaning a qualifying community development organization—such as a registered nonprofit, public development authority, or public housing authority—must hold at least a 51 percent ownership interest. Under solicitation 2025-049, applicants must submit a verification form and supporting documentation, such as mission statements or charters, to prove their status as a qualifying organization dedicated to preserving affordable housing, arts space, commercial space, or community gathering areas. If the project includes an equitable development use, the applicant must provide a narrative explaining how the project mitigates displacement pressure for specific at-risk communities. The verification process is a pass/fail determination made by the OPCD Director based on staff recommendations. Electronic applications are accepted through the OpenGov portal, with a response deadline of December 31, 2035.

Full Description

Show more
In September 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance 127308 , establishing a term-limited Roots to Roofs Pilot Program to encourage development with low- to moderate-income housing and community-serving equitable development uses. The pilot provides alternative development standards for eligible projects proposed by a qualifying community development organization that fulfill certain criteria. The legislation establishes several new definitions for the purposes of the pilot program, including "qualifying community development organization" and "equitable development use." Section 3 directs City departments to promulgate a Director's Rule for administering the program by creating processes and criteria for verifying a pilot project's alignment with these two definitions. Section 23.40.091 of the Land Use Code defines these terms as follows: "Qualifying community development organization" means a nonprofit organization registered with the Washington Secretary of State, a public development authority created pursuant to RCW 35.21.730, or a public housing authority created pursuant to RCW 35.82.030, that has as its purpose the creation or preservation of affordable housing, affordable commercial space, affordable arts space, community gathering spaces, or equitable development uses. A qualifying community development organization may consist of a partnership among one or more qualifying community development organizations, one or more qualifying community development organizations and a partnering for-profit development entity, or a partnership or limited liability company of which at least one qualifying community development organization serves as the controlling general partner or managing member. As part of review of an application for a project participating in the Roots to Roofs Pilot Program, an applicant must submit materials for review and verification with the definition of a qualifying community development organization.

This plan will update regional goals and policies to address evolving mobility needs, integrate transportation with housing and land use strategies, and align with state mandates to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under SB 375. Multiple growth scenarios will be evaluated to determine the most effective mix of projects and policies that achieve emissions targets while supporting equitable, accessible, and sustainable transportation options. The plan will also serve as the foundation for the Regional and Federal Transportation Improvement Programs, ensuring alignment with federal requirements and state climate objectives. As the designated metropolitan planning organization for San Joaquin County, SJCOG is responsible for developing a legally compliant Sustainable Communities Strategy that demonstrates how integrated planning can meet regional GHG reduction targets. The effort will involve extensive public engagement, data analysis, and coordination with local jurisdictions, transit agencies, and state entities to prioritize projects that enhance connectivity, reduce vehicle dependency, and promote affordable housing near transit. The Senior Regional Planner and Supervising Planner are the primary points of contact for this initiative, overseeing the technical development and community outreach components of the planning process. The plan is forecasted to be released in June 2026 and will inform transportation programming and funding decisions for the coming decades.

Sierra Veterinary Clinic Conversion Project
Solicitation # PLN25-0132
The Sierra Veterinary Clinic Conversion Project, identified as solicitation PLN25-0132, involves the conversion of an existing church structure into a veterinary clinic located at 11665 Spenceville Road in Penn Valley, California. Managed by Nevada County, the project requires several land use actions, including a General Plan Amendment to change the designation from Estate to Rural with a minimum parcel size of 5.00 acres, and a Rezone to shift the zoning from Residential Agricultural (RA-3) to General Agricultural (AG-5). Additionally, the project seeks a variance from building setbacks and a Conditional Use Permit to legally operate the clinic on the property identified as APN 051-340-043. Environmental evaluations conducted by the Nevada County Planning Department resulted in a Draft Initial Study and a Mitigated Negative Declaration. This process identified potentially significant impacts regarding air quality, biological and cultural resources, geology, hazardous materials, noise, tribal resources, and utilities, all of which are addressed through feasible mitigation measures to reduce impacts to less than significant. A public review period for these environmental documents was established from October 6, 2026, to November 6, 2026. The project is coordinated by Associate Planner Zachary Ruybal and applicant Josh Ettlin.
