As an alternative to the density requirements in section 3(1)(b) of this act, cities with a population of less than 75,000 within a contiguous urban growth area with the largest city in a county with a population of more than 275,000, based on office of financial management population estimates, may authorize:
(1) The development of at least three units per lot on all lots zoned predominantly for residential use;
(2) The development of at least six units per lot on all lots zoned predominantly for residential use within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop; and
(3) The development of at least four units per lot on all lots zoned predominantly for residential use if at least one unit is affordable housing."

EFFECT: (1) Provides alternative density requirements for cities with a population of less than 75,000 within a contiguous urban growth area with the largest city in a county with a population of more than 275,000 that would allow development of: (a) At least three units on all residential lots; (b) at least six units on all residential lots within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop; and (c) at least four units on all residential lots if at least one unit is affordable housing, instead of complying with the same density requirements as cities with a population of at least 75,000.
(2) Excludes cities choosing the alternative density requirements from provisions specifying that: (a) The capital facilities plan element required under the Growth Management Act is not required to be updated to accommodate the increased housing and population capacity until a city's next required comprehensive plan update on or after June 30, 2034; and (b) any city adopting development regulations to fully implement the density requirements are to be considered in compliance with certain antidisplacement policies under the GMA until June 30, 2032.
