Clyde Hill remodels — original-grade height, hillside zoning first
Clyde Hill is a small Eastside residential city between Bellevue and Medina where view-sensitive hillside zoning and a hard 25-foot height limit measured above the city’s original-grade determination control what an addition can do. Permits run through the city’s Building Department and Citizen’s Connect Permit Portal — not Bellevue’s counter. This Board of Project Stewardship hub frames kitchen, bath, and addition questions around that envelope and Hearing Examiner variance path — educational only.

Who permits work in Clyde Hill?

Over-the-counter paths exist for re-roofs and window/door replacements. No structure may exceed 25 feet above original grade as determined by the city.

Kitchen remodels inside Clyde Hill’s height and setback box
Larger mid-century and custom kitchens on Clyde Hill’s hillside lots still answer only to the city’s Building Department. Layout moves that change roof form or massing trip the 25-foot original-grade rule even when the wet work looks routine. Confirm Citizen’s Connect intake — not Bellevue MyBuildingPermit — before cabinet deposits.
Bath updates on Clyde Hill’s view-sensitive hillside lots
Waterproofing leads. Plumbing and mechanical permits are city-issued; electrical and some utility connections may route to other agencies per city FAQ. Topography that justifies a variance for setbacks can also shape bath expansions — schedule the pre-application meeting early.

Clyde Hill additions when original grade caps the envelope
Ground bump-outs and second stories both meet Clyde Hill’s original-grade height cap, lot coverage, and setback matrix. Steep topography often drives Hearing Examiner variance requests — treat that as scoped diligence with a licensed GC, not a Board promise that every hillside lot yields a second story.
