Land Use Zoning

These layers are used as part of the City of Seattle Zoned Development Capacity Model.To estimate potential development, the City of Seattle maintains a zoned development capacity model that compares existing development to an estimate of what could be built under current zoning. The difference between existing and potential development yields the capacity for new residential and commercial development.There is a report of summary findings available as part of Seattle 2035 as well as resources for reports, methodologies and data.When downloading the data, please select a layer and then "GDB Download" under "Additional Resources" to preserve long field names.  The associated file geodatabase contains all the feature classes for the 10 layers represented.
