    Land Use permits can be required by the city's Land Use Code to ensure that proposed use and improvement of property meets zoning and other requirements found in the code. Essentially, land use permits are not permits for construction; they are approvals for land development, designs and uses for future building construction.

    Changes to the Local Project Review Act

    The Bellevue City Council approved land use code amendments and three streamlining measures that align city regulations with the requirements of Senate Bill (SB) 5290, which was signed into law in 2023. The code amendments incorporate changes to codify permit timelines, clarify application requirements, and streamline processes to improve efficiency for development permits. Specific updates include simplifying language requirements for certain types of projects and enhancing rules for determining application completeness. Some of the process changes mean applicants will need to combine certain documents into one file, instead of uploading separate documents. Applicants will also need to include "Bookmarks" in their PDF plans. 

    The changes will apply only to certain permits. The existing permit pages, which provide information about permit types and submittal requirements, are being updated now to reflect the changes and updated process. More information is on the Permit Streamlining LUCA page. 

    To begin the process:

    Meet with a land use planner before you start your project to obtain assistance with the development process:

    • Predevelopment Services Review (DC) provides one-time or ongoing detailed assistance and feedback on your development concept prior to submitting a permit application.
    • A Preapplication Conference (DB) is a free service available only for certain specified applications and is designed to give you early feedback and direction on your development concept. It is a one-time opportunity to meet with us, present a conceptual proposal and get more specific written feedback on it.
