A proposed development in unincorporated Clark County could provide middle housing for 60 families.
The Saint Johns & 109th Cottage Home Development at 11109 N.E. St. Johns Road would divide 6 acres into 59 single-family residential lots plus one accessory dwelling unit. It takes advantage of the county’s R1-6 zone that allows cottage housing.
The development would help fill a need for “missing middle” housing affordable to moderate-income residents, providing an option between detached single-family homes and high-density apartment buildings.
The county is reviewing the application. If all goes smoothly, the development would likely be completed within a few years, according to applicant Civil Northwest Engineering.
The proposed development is open to public comment on environmental impact concerns until April 7. To provide a comment, email developmentcomments@clark.wa.gov with the case name and number and your written testimony. Find more information at https://tinyurl.com/yjyhbdvv.

To testify at the hearing, contact CommDevOALandUse@clark.wa.gov or 564-397-4489 no later than noon on April 13. Staff will provide information on participating in the hearing.
