The Roots to Roofs Pilot Program, established by Seattle's City Council through Ordinance 127308 in September 2025, aims to promote development projects that include low- to moderate-income housing and equitable community-serving uses. This initiative offers alternative development standards to projects proposed by qualifying community development organizations, which are defined by specific criteria, including their nonprofit status and mission focused on affordable housing, commercial, arts, and community gathering spaces. The program outlines clear definitions and eligibility requirements for these organizations, allowing for partnerships with for-profit entities under controlled leadership by qualifying nonprofits. To administer the program, city departments are tasked with creating a Director's Rule that sets processes and criteria for verifying a project's compliance with the definitions of "qualifying community development organization" and "equitable development use." Applicants must submit verification materials as part of their application for participation in the program. The solicitation titled "Roots to Roofs Pilot Program: Verification Form for ‘Qualifying Community Development Organization’ and ‘Equitable Development Use’," managed by the Office of Planning and Community Development in Seattle, provides a long response deadline through 2035 and is overseen by Senior Planner Nick Welch. The program reinforces the city’s commitment to equitable development by supporting projects aligned with community and affordable uses.

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.

Addendum to FEIR 584 and FEIR 589, Trampas Canyon Dam and Reservoir ProjectThe project involves revisions to the Amended Planning Area 3 and 4 Master Area and Subarea Plans under the Ranch Plan Planned Community Program in Orange County, California, as outlined in Planning Applications PA25-0162 and PA26-0009. PA25-0162 proposes adjustments to dwelling unit allocations, non-residential square footage, subarea boundaries, and land uses, along with an amendment to increase the maximum height for wireless facilities in the Community Facilities district from 70 feet to 75 feet. It also requires updates to Exhibits 6 and 7 of the Ranch Plan Planned Community Program Text to reflect these changes. PA26-0009 introduces new community-wide alternative development standards, including revisions to building setback requirements and clarification of an existing performance standard, as well as a new provision allowing conventional single-family projects with densities exceeding nine dwelling units per acre. These amendments are part of a broader environmental review process tied to the Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) 584 and FEIR 589 for the Trampas Canyon Dam and Reservoir Project, with compliance required across geology, water resources, air quality, noise, biological resources, and open space preservation. All development must adhere to County Standard Conditions and be approved by Orange County Planning & Development Services, with infrastructure improvements—including streets, drainage, water systems, and hazardous materials management—subject to inspection and acceptance at the project site prior to issuance of permits or certificates of occupancy. The project is administered by Orange County, with oversight from multiple departments including Public Works, Development Services, and the Health Care Agency, and is not governed by federal procurement regulations. No formal contract clauses under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), solicitation numbers, contract types, or procurement evaluation factors are applicable, as this is a land-use planning and environmental entitlement process rather than a federal contract action. Financial obligations are tied to development fees and contributions to programs such as SCRIP, with cost estimates ranging from approximately $5.8 million to $16.9 million, though these represent project-level projections, not binding contract values. Required documentation includes detailed technical studies on transportation, stormwater, acoustics, and biological resources, along with submitted exhibits and maps. Compliance with fire safety provisions, including OCFA-approved Fire Master Plans, vegetation management, and fuel modification zones, is mandatory before issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. All submissions must be sent to the designated county office,

General Plan Amendment #24-06The City of Merced is preparing to certify and adopt the Merced County Multijurisdictional Housing Element and Appendix G, which constitutes the City of Merced’s 6th Cycle Housing Element for the period 2024 to 2032. This Housing Element is a required component of the City’s General Plan and focuses on addressing housing needs in compliance with state law, without approving any individual development projects. The adoption process includes a corresponding zoning ordinance amendment to meet the Regional Housing Needs Allocation requirements set by the State. Any future projects that arise as a result of this Housing Element will undergo separate environmental and impact evaluations prior to approval and construction, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and local planning goals. The initiative is designed to support the City’s long-term housing strategy and benefit its residents by facilitating equitable and sustainable housing development. The action is formally documented under General Plan Amendment #24-06 and is being managed by the City of Merced’s planning department. Senior Planner Leah Brown serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries, with communications available via email and phone. The project is forecasted for posting on July 24, 2026, and will be implemented within the City of Merced, California. The effort aligns with state mandates to ensure housing availability and affordability, and while no specific developments are being approved at this stage, the framework established will guide future housing approvals and zoning decisions in the coming years.
