AGENDA ITEMS
Middle Housing Code Amendments
Planning Manager (PM) Katie Baker briefed the Council on the development of amendments to
the Middle Housing Code, which will replace the interim ordinance set to expire in 2026. State
legislation requires Puyallup, as a Tier 2 City, to permit a minimum of two units per residential lot
and up to four units in strategic locations, such as near the Sounder station or where one unit is
designated as affordable housing. Additionally, the city must allow at least six of the nine state -
defined types of middle housing in every residential zone, without imposing stricter standards than
those applied to detached single-family homes.
The interim ordinance included a specific exception for the lahar zone, which excludes
approximately 31% of the single-family residential lots from new middle housing allowances and
accessory dwelling units (ADUs). This exceeds the state's allowable exclus ion threshold of 25%.
While the current exclusion rate is based on older USGS data, using updated data could reduce
this rate to …

Financial Update
FD Lopez presented the Fire Pension Financial Report as of February 28, 2026, noting no
significant changes from the prior meeting. The fund ended 2025 with just under $1,000,000.
She explained that the balance came in below $1,000,000 because the city elected not to
contribute its typical $80,000, choosing instead to draw slightly on fund balance. Looking ahead
to 2026, the fire insurance premium tax and interest income are expected to remain steady
revenue sources, with the fund projected to close the year at approximately $900,000.
FD Lopez also informed the Board that the city has engaged Milliman Actuarial Services to
conduct the required actuarial study of the fund. The study is required every other year under
applicable statute, and 2026 is a due year. Results are expected within approximately three
