What is the 75 80 rule in Seattle?

The "75/80 Rule" in Seattle is a zoning exception for developing undersized lots in single-family areas, allowing construction if a parcel is at least 75% of the zone's minimum lot size and at least 80% of the average lot size on the same block, helping to fit new homes into established neighborhoods by matching surrounding lot dimensions and scale. This rule, found in the Seattle.gov publications Seattle.gov/DPD/Publications/CAM/Tip255.pdf and Seattle.gov publications Seattle.gov/DPD/Publications/CAM/cam213A.pdf, provides an alternative to strict minimum lot size requirements, often with associated height limits to maintain neighborhood character.
