Excerpt:
On Thursday, Land Use Environment Committee members discussed the proposed code amendments allowing small-scale growing and harvesting of food crops in high-density residential districts. The changes aim to remove barriers and make it easier for residents and community groups to establish urban gardens and farms within the city limits.
Tim Smith, Olympia’s interim director with Community Plans and Development (CP&D), presented the proposed code updates to support urban agriculture in the city:
Allow small-scale growing and harvesting of food crops in downtown zoning districts.
Allow small-scale growing and harvesting of food crops in high-density residential zoning districts, including urban residential (UR), residential mixed-use (RMU), residential multifamily high rise (RM-H), and residential multifamily (RM).
Smith clarified that this does not mean agricultural uses are prohibited outside of the zoning mentioned. “Agricultural uses are permitted use throughout the city. It is just that within these specific zoning districts, we did not have any allowance for agriculture. It allows for limited small-scale agriculture within these downtown areas.”
