The enhanced City Code and Land Use Code online platform went live today, (Tuesday, June 12), offering users an improved experience, with new and/or improved features. The updated interface has a similar look-and-feel to BellevueWA.gov. The platform’s also mobile-responsive, making city and land use codes accessible from any device.

Among its new features are:

  • Easier to find definitions of zoning terms – users can hover over underlined terms and a pop-up will appear with the relevant zoning definition.
  • CodeTrak – sections containing recently revised ordinances are highlighted with a “revised” green icon in the table of contents and the code.
  • Archival/compare versions – users can view prior versions of the code and even compare archival versions, in redline, to the current code.
  • Sharing and social media – in addition to exporting code excerpts to PDF or Microsoft Word, users will now be able to post directly to their Facebook or Twitter feeds.

To help users get acclimated to the improved platform, an instructional video explains how to use the new features on the site.

The City of Bellevue has contracted with Code Publishing to perform the codification of the city and land use codes, including this latest update to the online platform.
