The Zoning Commission was established in 1920 to survey the City, divide
it into districts or zones, and recommend land use in those areas. The City
Engineer, Superintendent of Buildings, one Parks Trustee, and six individuals
appointed by the Mayor comprised the Commission membership. In 1923, the
Commission presented a draft ordinance to City Council which became the City's
first Zoning Code. Commission activities were superceded by creation of the
City Planning Commission in 1924. Although inactive, the Commission was not
abolished until 1936.
Correspondence, reports, maps, and newspaper clippings related to the
work of the Seattle Zoning Commission in compiling the City's first zoning
code.
Records are open to the public.
