HB1096 expands housing options by easing restrictions on administrative lot splitting in certain Washington cities.

HB1096 modifies the administrative lot split process in cities required to comply with minimum density requirements. It allows for the creation of new residential lots through an administrative process, subject to certain conditions. These include ensuring the lot meets minimum size requirements, is not in a nonresidential zone, and does not require demolition of existing housing. The bill also mandates that the number of dwelling units on the new lot cannot be less than allowed by the zoning of the parent lot.
