Can a developer build a townhouse project anywhere they want?
No. While townhouses offer solutions to housing issues in Seattle. The development of townhouses is predictable. Townhouses are built on property that is zoned for multifamily or higher density than single-family zoning. Zoning regulations determine how many units can be built on a plot of land. While the city government recognizes the need for housing there has been little rezoning to accommodate townhouse construction.
