This course is meant to provide a framework for better understanding and using the Land Use code for projects in Seattle. Participants will learn how to navigate the Land Use Code and find relevant information for their projects. Participants will also learn about potential constraints and where Land Use Code overlaps with Building Code. Examples and a case study will be explored to help facilitate these learning objectives.
