Middle Housing Design Review Checklist
Middle housing applicants complete this checklist to affirm design requirements and submit it with their building permit application to the Town of Steilacoom.
What this form is
This checklist lets applicants identify whether a structure-conversion exemption applies and affirm compliance with middle housing design requirements. The town says to submit it with the building permit application for administrative review by the Planning Department concurrently with the building permit review. It asks for project-related design checks and identifies a street-facing façade elevation and site plan as materials to attach or include with the permit application.
Who needs it
Applicants seeking a building permit for a middle housing project use this checklist, unless the stated structure-conversion exemption applies.
How to submit it
Submit this checklist with your building permit application. The Planning Department reviews it administratively at the same time as the building permit.
About notarization
This checklist is signed by the applicant without a notary; the signer just signs it, and the form identifies a façade elevation and site plan as attachments or permit materials.
