WA HB2702

Increases the maximum number of lots allowed in short subdivisions inside urban growth areas from 9 to 30, provided the average lot size does not exceed the minimum lot size in the jurisdiction's comprehensive plan

Outside urban growth areas, maintains the baseline of 4 or fewer lots for short subdivisions, with local option to increase to a maximum of 9 lots

Removes the previous requirement that only counties planning under the Growth Management Act could increase short subdivision thresholds in urban growth areas

Updates the 5-year waiting period restriction on further land division to reference the maximum number of lots allowed under the new thresholds rather than the previous fixed limit of 4 lots

Amends RCW 58.17.020 (definitions) and RCW 58.17.060 (short plat regulations) to implement these changes
