Seattle's City Council, Planning Commission, and Design Review Boards process land use decisions under the Mandatory Housing Affordability (MHA) framework that upzoned large portions of the city's urban villages and centers. The Design Review Board system in seven districts reviews projects exceeding size thresholds in neighborhood-specific contexts. The Comprehensive Plan's One Seattle update reshapes growth targets for urban centers like the University District, Ballard, South Lake Union, and Rainier Valley. Master Use Permits, contract rezones, and council land use actions dominate the entitlement pipeline. The Seattle 2044 Comprehensive Plan update is driving citywide rezone proposals to increase housing capacity.
