Seattle, WA zoning districts
134 districts, 134 with a written citation. Each row says what the district permits by primary use.
City of Seattle Land Use Code, Seattle Municipal Code (SMC) Title 23, Subtitle III (Land Use Regulations). Seattle is a use-district (Euclidean) model whose permission mechanism is permitted-outright (by-right) vs administrative/Council conditional use (mapped 'conditional') vs a use not listed for the district (prohibited). Base district codes validated 2026-07-14 against the live City zoning layer (field BASE_ZONE; services.arcgis.com/ZOyb2t4B0UYuYNYH Current_Land_Use_Zoning_Detail_2 FeatureServer layer 0 = DPD.ZONING_PV; 134 distinct BASE_ZONE values, 3,627 polygons). SUFFIX CONVENTION (proposed precedent, extends the BLESSED P25 to Seattle's height-suffix dialect): a Seattle BASE_ZONE string carries height/FAR/form tokens (NC3-75, C1-55, SM-SLU 240/125-440, DMR/C 145/75, II U/85) that are PART OF THE DISTRICT IDENTITY, not Austin-style hyphen overlays — so EACH live BASE_ZONE string is authored as its own EXACT district key (the generic parser splits on hyphens only; a phantom peel of '-75' would mis-resolve the parcel). The height/form token never changes the use tri-state (NC3-40 and NC3-95 share SMC 23.47A's use table), so height-variants of a family carry the same tri-state and differ only by (unauthored, honest-null) envelope. Overlays — MHA affordability suffix (M/M1/M2), Major Institution Overlay (MIO), pedestrian (P-overlay), historic, shoreline, light-rail — ride SEPARATE live GIS fields (MHA, MIO_NAME, PEDESTRIAN, HISTORIC, SHORELINE, LIGHTRAIL) and are already EXCLUDED from BASE_ZONE, so the overlays table is intentionally empty and invariant I7 is vacuously satisfied (P13; the connector emits BASE_ZONE, the MHA-stripped, MIO-stripped clean base string). Cited-evidence only (June 12 ruling): districts whose primary-use classification cannot be grounded in a retrievable source resolve honest-null. Master Planned Community (MPC-YT/Yesler Terrace) is honest-null BY POLICY by design, and that is CORRECT.
How to read the permissions
By right — allowed without discretionary approval. Conditional use — allowed only with a specific approval. Not permitted — not allowed as a primary use. Not resolved — the ordinance does not settle it in a way we would state as fact.
These describe the district. A specific parcel can also be affected by overlays, corridors, flood zones and site conditions.
