Through Ordinance 2026-0__, adopted after a June 22, 2026 public hearing, Sequim extended its emergency moratorium on applications for master plans (master-planned overlays) for an additional six months, through January 26, 2027. The moratorium is intended to preserve a regulatory pause while the City completes and adopts the 2025 Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update, associated development regulation amendments, and a work plan that specifically addresses master-planned development policy and code. The ordinance includes a detailed work plan for drafting, public engagement, Planning Commission review, SEIS/FEIS work, and City Council hearings and adoption between July and October 2026.This process will shape future land use, zoning, and master-planned project rules, directly affecting upcoming development projects and capital investments—creating a window for planning, engineering, legal, and real-estate advisory vendors to influence how future project opportunities are structured once the moratorium lifts.

The work plan includes online open houses, community drop-in sessions, a developers’ forum on FLUM/Zoning Map and Title 18 update, Planning Commission hearings, and City Council deliberations and adoption.
