SUMMARY:Bellingham for Everyone Learning Series: Spencer Gardner
DESCRIPTION:On February 1st, we’ll be honored to host City of Spokan
 e’s Director of Planning Services, Spencer Gardner to learn about th
 eir unique legislatives and planning success to become one of the most
  successful cities in the United States to legalize new housing.\nEven
  before Washington State’s historical middle housing bill, HB 1110 w
 as passed, the city of Spokane was hard at work developing the framewo
 rk for innovative middle housing laws. In November 2023, Spokane City
  Council put the last piece together and passed legislation that went 
 above and beyond HB 1110. They’ve passed what has been called the so
 me of the most innovative middle housing laws in the Northwest, if not
  the country.\nThis is all an attempt to increase the housing supply i
 n Spokane, one of the most successful strategies for helping our housi
 ng crisis. What unique characteristics make Spokane so successful in a
 dopting these laws? What prompted them to go above and beyond HB 1110?
  What types of barriers did they experience? What can Bellingham learn
 , as it reviews and considers the state model code?\nFollowing his pre
 sentation, we’ll have time for Q&A, so Bellingham can dig a little d
 eeper and come out of this Learning Series event better prepared for o
 ur own deliberations on middle housing adoption.\n\nFor more informati
