Bellevue may go far beyond the requirement in HB 1110 and 1337
HB 1110 requires that Bellevue make rules to allow 4-6 units on each single family lot in Bellevue
HB 1337 allows each lot to have up to two ADUs (which count toward that total)
On February 24th, Bellevue planners released a draft that would allow:
4 middle housing units + 2 ADUs = 6 housing units
6 middle housing units + 2 ADUs = 8
9 middle housing units + 2 ADUs = 11
Other differences:
No exceptions for Critical Areas/Shoreline, though these could reduce building size
Bonus FAR for multifamily and reduced FAR for SFH
Setbacks, impermeable %, and lot coverage adjustments
Co-housing/boarding houses in much of the city
Possibly 8-10 units near neighborhood centers, tbd
ADUs are allowed to be 1200 square feet in the draft, but it looks like that will be increased to allow three-bedroom houses to count as ADUs.
