A
Before
we
begin
tonight,
I
would
like
to
take
a
moment
to
voice
the
city
council
support
for
the
ukrainian
community
during
this
time
of
international
crisis.
Four
days
ago,
on
thursday
february
24th,
ukraine
was
invaded
by
russia.
This
unprovoked
and
vicious
attack
has
created
a
massive
humanitarian
crisis
with
thousands
of
lives
lost
and
hundreds
of
thousands
of
people
displaced
from
their
homeland
to
those
in
the
ukrainian
community.
Please
know
that
you
have
our
support
during
this
trying
time.
A
It's
also
important
to
point
out
that
the
actions
of
the
russian
government
do
not
reflect
the
feelings
or
loyalties
of
the
many
russian
americans
who
call
bellevue
home.
We
hope
for
a
quick
end
to
this
terrible
war,
and
our
thoughts
are
with
the
ukrainian
people
wherever
they
may
be
clerk.
Could
you
please
call
the
rule.
C
C
D
E
Yes,
I
pledge
allegiance.
A
So
we
have
a
special
commendation
tonight
we
do
commendations
when
we
want
to
note
an
event
or
an
individual
of
importance,
and
tonight
we
are
commending
a
long-term
staff
member
mary,
kate
behrens,
who
this
is
her
last
day,
I
believe
at
least
or
last
week,
and
so
I
would
like
to
ask
councilmember
robertson
to
read
the
commendation
from
the
entire
council.
Please
thank
you,
mayor.
F
All
while
modeling
honest
caring
leadership
that
reinforced
for
all
all
staff
how
their
contributions
make
a
difference
for
the
people
we
serve
now.
Therefore,
on
behalf
of
mayor
lynn,
robinson
and
on
behalf
of
the
bellevue
city
council,
to
do
this
28th
day
of
february
in
the
year,
2022
hereby
command
mary,
kate
barrons
for
her
commitment
to
public
service,
excellent
leadership
and
consistent
consideration
of
resident
and
local
business
needs
in
her
role
with
the
city
of
bellevue,
and
that
is
signed.
Mayor
lynn,
robinson.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
robertson.
Would
you
like
to
add
your
own
personal
comment
and
then
I'll
go
councilmember
stokes,
councilmember,
barksdale,
council
members
on
councilmember
lee
council
member
deputy
mayor
noon
house.
Thank
you.
I
would.
F
Love
to
tonight,
it's
I'm
feeling
a
little
weepy
already
with
the
discussion
on
ukraine
and
then
saying
goodbye
to
kate
what
a
what
a
difficult
night
this
is
so
yeah.
I
worked
with
kate
since
2003
when
I
was
one
of
the
planning
commission
and
she
has
always
just
been
wonderful
as
a
person
as
an
advisor
as
a
friend
as
a
team
member
of
the
staff
and
as
someone
that
the
public
everyone
that
works
with
her
looks
to
with
integrity,
trust
and
helping
build
confidence
in
government.
F
I
mean
she
has
just
been
one
of
the
best
people
to
work
with
talk
about
complex,
meaningful
work
that
you've
done.
Kate
you've
done
some
amazing
things
when
I
was
part
of
the
council
negotiating
team
for
sound
transit,
light
rail
with
council
member
stokes
and
wallace
and
and
council
dagenger
before
councilmember
stokes
was
elected.
Kate
was
the
lead
attorney
for
that
and
she
was
in
on
all
those
negotiating
sessions,
revising
mou's
revising
contracts,
negotiating
with
sound
transit
working
just
so
hard
on
behalf
of
the
city.
F
To
make
us
have
a
light
rail
system
that
would
really
work
for
bellevue
and
the
entire
eastside
region
and
doing
it
with
integrity
and
fairness
and
good
humor.
It
was
some
hard
times
and
that
good
humor
part
was
hard.
So
I'm
so
sorry
to
lose
you
from
bellevue.
I
I
know
that
it
is
grand
rapids
gain
and,
like
I
said,
I'm
feeling
kind
of
weepy
about
this.
You
know
we're
gonna,
miss
you
so
much.
F
I
wish
this
was
an
in-person
meeting,
so
I'd
give
you
a
big
hug
and
and
having
kyle
home
here
for
down
home
week
would
be
fun
too,
but
because
I
know
he's
on
the
call,
but
so
yeah
just
best
of
luck.
Good
luck
with
your
family!
I
I
family
comes
first,
so
that's
so
important!
I
honor
that
to
my
core.
F
So
but
we
are
gonna,
miss
you
and
you're
gonna,
be
your
feet,
may
not
be
big,
but
your
shoes
are
gonna,
be
very
hard
to
fill
so
best
of
luck
for
you
and
grand
rapids.
If
you
ever
come
back
to
bellevue,
please
do
stop
in,
because
I
know
that
I'm
not
alone
and
being
someone
who
really
cares
about
your
well-being
as
a
person
as
well
as
honoring
the
amount
of
work
and
impact
you've
had
the
commendation
didn't
talk
about
the
amount
of
trust
that
you
have
from
the
public.
F
But
I
hear
all
the
time
where
public,
the
public
and
people
have
worked
with
you
they're,
like
she's
she's,
just
the
best,
and
we
can
trust
her.
We
know
that
she's
gonna
do
the
right
thing
and
yeah
confidence
in
government
is
something
that
you
build
every
day.
So
thanks.
E
Well,
as
in
councilmember
robertson's
usual
thorough
coverage
of
things,
I
can
echo
all
those
and
I
it
was
just
amazing
working
with
you
when
I
first
came
on
2012
on
the
sound
transit
stuff,
and
I
could
echo
and
certainly
endorse
all
that
jennifer
said
what
I
did
when
I
first
thought
of
this.
E
What
came
in
my
head
was
seeing
you
staying
in
front
of
this.
What
must
be
a
10
by
15
feet,
blackboard,
green
board
down
in
the
council
chambers
there,
and
you
literally
fill
that
whole
thing
out
in
great
detail.
You
could
follow
it
and
you
basically
said
okay
guys.
This
is
what
it
is.
E
This
is
what
we're
working
with,
and
you
just
had
a
great
sense
of
knowing
what
you're
talking
about
and
also
communicating
that
and
getting
us
together,
and
I
think
there
were
a
few
as
you
remember,
a
couple
of
ripping
up
times
and
this
this
and
that-
and
you
were
always
there
to
really
guide
us
through
that
and
and
that's
just
amazing
we're
going
to
miss
you
very,
very
much
and
just
even
talking
with
you
about
other
less
compelling
things
and
always
being
there
and
and
being
helping,
but
also
not
just
saying
well.
E
This
is
what
you
have
to
do,
but
this
is
this
is
what
would
be
the
thing
to
do
and
that's
how
we
do
it
and
all
that
and
work
through
it,
and
I
appreciate
that
very
much
and
I
have
to
say
that
every
time
now,
when
I
go
over
to
ballard
since
you
live
there
and
genevieve
lives
in
ballard
I'll
think
about
you.
In
addition
to
other
times
so
just
have
a
great
time
and
we
we
will
miss.
You
and
you'll
always
be
in
our
hearts
and
thank
you.
G
Right,
thank
you,
mayor,
kate.
I
know
that
all
right,
my
experience
with
you
hasn't
been
as
deep
as
as
councilmember
robertson
and
councilmember
stokes,
but
I
have
always
appreciated
our
conversations,
and
you
know
a
few
occasions
where
I
did
have
a
chance
to
brainstorm
with
you
ideas
and
ways
of
looking
at
different
policy
issues.
G
I've
appreciated
the
perspective
that
you
brought
to
the
conversation,
and
so
I
can
see
strands
or
threads
of
everything
that
they're
talking
about
so
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
all
your
service
and
commitment
to
the
city
and
we'll
miss
you
and
look
forward
to
catching
up
again
soon.
If
you're
ever
in
bellevue,.
H
C
Yeah,
kate,
I
think,
as
one
of
the
longest
serving
council
members,
I've
got
to
know
a
lot
of
city
value.
Employees
and
also
you
know,
council
members
as
well,
and
you
have
always
been
impressed
me
and
I
sometimes
wonder
why,
and
I
find
out
that
you
and
I
went
to
the
same
university
of
michigan.
C
So
we
got
something
in
common.
We
got
something
good
out
of
it.
That
may
be
the
best
you
know
of
what
is
offered
and
you
have
always
been.
You
know
one
of
the
most
steady
stable,
as
always
you
know
suggested
by
others
said
and
to
be
one
of
the
last
to
say
many
of
the
thing
has
been
said,
so
I
just
you
know,
go
to
the
costs
of
other
things
and
you
you
want.
You
know
the
obvious
city
staffers.
As
you
probably
know,
we
all
know
it's
one
of
the
best.
C
You
know
I
work
with
other
cities,
I
mean
staff,
you
know
with
seattle
and
so
on,
and
belgium
is
non-eco
and
you
are
best
of
the
best
because
you
have,
you
know,
managed,
and
you
have
kept
a
lot
of
many
ideas
and
talents
and
creative
ideas
and
be
able
to
make
them
work
they
still
to
meet.
C
Very
you
know
easy
to
understand
and
very
rational
in
the
right
way,
so
it
makes
our
job
so
much
easier
because
we
do
have
a
lot
of
talented
folks.
You
know
when
you
work
in
this
environment.
It's
hard.
You
know
that
so
you
are
able
to.
You,
know
condense,
this
distill
it,
and
so
we
we.
I
appreciate,
we
appreciate
you,
and
so
you
know,
obviously,
as
jennifer
robinson
said,
family,
it's
important.
We
all
have
to
have
a
balance
in
life,
so
we
will
miss
you.
C
C
But
you
know
there's
another
important
aspect
of
life
which
only
you
know,
and
I
trust
that
you
know
what
is
the
best
for
you
and
all
I
can
say
is
we
wish
you
the
best
and
we
wish
you
one
of
these
days.
You
come
back
to
where
you
raise
and
you
you
know,
share
with
us
all
the
the
things
that
you
have
helped
us
with,
and
we
will
miss
you
in
the
meantime
or
wait
until
we
see
you
again.
A
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor.
I
Thank
you
mayor.
Well,
when
I
first
heard
kate
that
you
were
leaving,
I
got
really
nervous
because
I
thought
jim
harbaugh
had
finally
made
a
good
hire
for
his
team.
Thankfully
that's
not
the
case,
so
my
wisconsin
badgers
should
should
have
considerable.
J
I
I
think
it's
a
real
tough
business,
and
especially
in
medium
to
larger
size,
cities
and
the
complexities
and
the
issues
and
tremendous
responsibilities
are,
I
think,
in
some
ways,
reason
to
think
twice
about
such
a
career
and
I'm
so
glad
that
you
did
not
because
all
that
responsibility
plus
the
media
spotlight-
and
I
was
always
so
so
impressed
by
the
way
you
handled
yourself
during
some
very
difficult
topics
and
issues
and
especially
how
you
handled
the
the
the
press
and
the
media
at
times
during
some
difficult
circumstances.
I
I
think
everybody
noticed
that
and
appreciated
that.
So
you
know
professional
city
management
matters
and
I
think
when
people
really
start
to
dig
in
and
understand
the
tremendous
role
that
a
city
manager
or
deputy
city
manager
play
in
the
running
of
the
city,
they
really
start
to
appreciate
all
the
great
work
that
you
have
done
for
this
city.
For
so
many
for
so
many
years.
A
Thank
you
so
kate,
I'll
say
something.
Now,
I'm
going
to
ask
our
city
manager
to
speak
as
well.
I
just
can't
even
put
into
words
how
much
I've
appreciated
working
with
you
when
I
think
of
the
words
that
come
to
my
mind,
when
I
think
about
you
is
trustworthy,
intelligent
committed
and
reliable
and
your
beautiful
smile.
You
know
we
never
have
had
a
meeting
where
you
haven't
been
engaged
and
smiling
and
and
just
bringing
this
positive
energy
to
the
room.
A
So
we
are
going
to
miss
you
very
much,
but
we
wish
you
so
well
and
hope
to
stay
in
touch
with
you.
K
Well,
a
lot
of
good
things
have
been
said
here,
kate
and
I
just
speak
on
behalf
of
the
leadership
team,
and
we
just
like
to
thank
you
for
your
many
years
of
service
with
the
city
and
for
advancing
our
one
city,
culture
of
shared
leadership,
stewardship
public
service
and
collaboration,
as
well
as
the
leadership
team
philosophy
of
really
making
sure
that
you
know
that
you
know
we
our
success.
K
You
know
the
leadership
team.
All
of
us
have
valued
your
intellect
and
your
ability
to
see
ahead
and
and
and
really
move
the
leadership
team
ahead
on
so
many
important
topics.
You
know,
on
a
personal
note,
I
will
miss
you
dearly.
K
You
were
the
first
one
I
hired
and
and
you've
been
a
just
a
tremendous
colleague
one.
That's
provided
this
valuable
council,
whether
I
ask
for
it
or
not
and
kate.
You
leave
the
city
with
your
mark
on
it
and
truly
leave
it
in
a
better
place
than
when
you
got
here.
So
just
the
best
of
luck
in
grand
rapids.
L
Thank
you
mayor.
Would
you
mind
if
I
said
a
few
words
please
mayor
deputy
mayor
council
members?
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
the
commendation
it
really
it's
very
touching,
and
it
it's
hard
to
say
goodbye,
especially
in
this
virtual
environment.
But
hopefully
it
will
help
me,
keep
it
together,
a
little
bit
better
than
if
we
were
all
in
person
just
want
to
share
a
few
reflections
and
first
to
the
to
the
city,
council,
the
the
current
city
council
and
all
the
former
council
members.
L
With
the
way
mayor
robinson
opened
the
meeting,
I
think
we
can
all
reflect
that
local
government
is
really
pivotal
in
the
kinds
of
lives
that
we
all
want.
Our
residents
to
lead-
and
again
I
appreciate
you
and
all
the
times
I've
been
able
to
work
in
partnership
with
you
all
to
help
you
bring
your
vision
forward.
It's
really
been
an
honor,
you
know
what
has
kept
me
at
the
city
of
bellevue
for
20
years
is
the
staff
here,
so
I
do
want
to
say
to
all
of
the
staff.
L
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
over
the
last
20
years.
I've
never
never
worked
on
any
single
project
alone.
I've
always
been
a
part
of
teams
and
in
my
various
roles
at
the
city
of
bellevue,
I've
had
the
honor
of
working
on
teams
with
people
from
every
single
department,
so
I've
I've
really
learned
so
much
had
so
much
fun
and
seen
the
passion
of
the
staff.
It's
really.
L
What
has
kept
me
here
is
that
you
know
from
top
to
bottom
it's
a
staff
that
cares
deeply
about
making
a
difference
and
helping
people
and
helping
each
other,
and
it's
just
it's
been
fun
and
great,
and
I've
learned
so
much
that
I
it
is
hard
to
say
goodbye
as
you
all
reflected
on
you
know.
This
is
a
decision
largely
driven
by
family,
but
I'm
taking
a
lot
of
bellevue
with
me
and
and
all
of
the
staff
that
I've
worked
with.
L
I
appreciate
all
of
your
support
and
all
the
kind
words
I'm
getting
over
the
last
little
bit
as
well
and
to
the
leadership
team.
The
last
18
months
or,
however
long
we've
been
in
covet.
I've
probably
spent
more
time
with
all
of
you
on
a
virtual
in
the
virtual
environment
than
I
ever
would
have
imagined
you.
You
really
become
my
team
for
the
last
15
or
18
months.
L
The
people
I
see
every
day,
lots
of
times
it
feels
like
all
day
and
and
you're
just
a
great
great
group
of
leaders,
so
passionate
so
committed
to
the
employees
so
creative
in
trying
to
meet
these
challenges
and
meet
the
challenges
that
are
in
front
of
the
community.
But
I
I
have
faith
that
I'm
going
to
hear
great
things
about
bellevue
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
seeing
how
you
all
continue
to
pull
together
and
help
lead.
L
And,
finally,
I
will
say
to
my
current
boss,
brad,
miyaki
and
and
other
bosses.
I
have
been
fortunate,
the
city
of
bellevue,
to
have
great
mentors
as
my
bosses.
I
would
not
be
where
I
am
today,
without
all
of
them,
but
but
brad
in
particular.
Your
support
has
been
so
meaningful
to
me.
This
is
where
I'm
gonna
lose
it
so
I'll
wrap
it
up
quickly.
L
To
say
I've
learned
a
lot
and
I
am
taking
with
me
your
compassion
and
your
caring
for
your
employees,
and
that
is
something
I
will
replicate
in
my
new
job
and
and
hope
to
do
half
of
what
you've
done
and
showing
your
support.
So
I
appreciate
that.
A
A
B
Yes
mayor,
thank
you
I'm
pulling
myself
together
after
you
got
kids
comments.
So
sorry,
there
are
actually
three
speakers
this
evening
pre-registered
for
oral
communications,
and
with
that
I
will
call
the
first
speaker,
which
is
annie
di
martino.
B

In
the
beginnings
of
the
recovery
phase,
now
pace
is
once
again
offering
our
arts
without
barriers
program
this
spring
and
we
are
returning
to
marketplace
of
factoria,
kids,
quest
and
one
location
site
on
the
bellevue
collection,
but
we
have
found
it
very
difficult
to
navigate
offering
much
more
because
prime
day
is
like
sundays
and
dates
such
as
mother's
day
or
memorial
day
and
post
5
p.m.
Performance
times
are
off
limits
to
outside
venue
spots
under
the
current
sound
permit
structure.
B
B
M
Hello,
everybody,
my
name
is
eden
helstein,
I'm
the
owner
and
operator
of
evolution
studios
here
in
the
heart
of
the
bel
red
arts
district,
and
I
am
in
support
of
change
to
the
bellevue
noise
ordinance.
I've
been
back
here
in
the
bellred
arts
district
for
30
years,
and
I
know
both
sound
and
volume
very
well.
M
Changing
this
ordinance
will
allow
bellevue
to
evolve
into
a
more
vibrant
city
and
provide
our
communities
with
a
better
quality
of
living,
and
we
can
benefit
from
this,
such
as
having
music,
festivals,
more
cultural
events,
as
annie
said
buskers.
We
can
help
to
find
an
arts
district.
The
list
goes
on
and
on
there's
one
thing
we
can
all
pretty
much
agree
on,
and
that
is
music.
M
M
M
For
this
reason,
rock
concert
decibels
in
outdoor
venues
range
between
90
to
100
decibels.
Finally,
we
have
thunder,
which
is
120
decibels
anyway.
I
hope
this
puts
things
a
little
bit
more
into
perspective,
and
if
anyone
has
questions,
please
let
me
know-
I'm
certainly
here
to
help-
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
and
the
time
to
speak
tonight.
Thank
you
so
much.
N
Hi,
thank
you
for
taking
my
comments.
My
name
is
colin.
May
I'm
a
two-decade
resident
of
woodridge.
I
also
want
to
say
shout
out
to
eden
whose
business
I
have
frequented
in
the
past.
N
N
N
N
N
We
don't
need
simply
more
theaters
to
go
to
so
to
promote
that
kind
of
grassroots
mutual
community
performing
arts
culture
in
bellevue
in
the
electric
and
electronic
age.
We
should
drop
the
special
treatment
of
amplification
in
the
code,
remove
the
need
for
permits,
but
just
add
rules
limiting
loud
noise
duration
and
requiring
breaks.
N
Remove
the
sunday
restriction,
replace
the
5
pm
restriction
with
something
more
reasonable
and
make
it
easy
for
ourselves
to
be
confident
in
compliance
with
the
law.
I
suggest
we
designate
certain
locations
as
officially
noise
friendly
potential
examples
are
the
circular
paved
area
at
the
northeast
corner
of
downtown
park
beside
bell
square
and
the
amphitheater
at
crossroads
park
behind
the
bellevue
children's
theater
for
those
places
definitely
eliminate
the
requirement
for
permits,
even
if
permits
remain
required
for
other
locations.
B
K
This
emergency
procurement
was
entered
in
in
response
to
the
january
17th
landslide
in
the
somerset,
neighborhood
and
per
city
code
reports,
the
council's
required
shortly
after
entering
into
any
emergency
procurement.
So
I'm
meeting
that
purpose
tonight,
the
code
requirement
and
a
copy
of
the
contract
is
also
available
in
the
council
document
library.
If
you
would
like
to
take
a
look
at
it
and
that's
all
I
have
to
report
on
this
evening,
mayor.
A
A
K
Sure
included
in
your
package,
our
number,
the
first
one
is
regional
issues.
I
apologize.
That
is
the
first
topic
on
your
study
session
agenda
tonight
and
including
your
package
are
a
number
of
regional
updates
tonight.
Joining
us
is
lacie,
jane
wolf,
who
will
provide
a
few
comments
on
your
state
legislative
priorities
and
also
will
be
available
to
enter
answer
any
questions
on
any
of
the
depth
updates
in
your
packet
this
evening,
so
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
over
lacey,
jane
wolf,
the
assistant
director
of
intergovernmental
relations.
O
O
This
month,
the
senate
and
house
transportation
committee
chairs
senator
lease
and
representative
phi
released
a
joint
transportation
revenue
package
called
move
ahead.
Washington,
if
adopted,
the
package,
will
spend
over
16
billion
dollars
over
the
next
16
years.
Unfortunately,
the
transportation
package
does
not
include
direct
funding
allocation
to
cities.
However,
three
of
bellevue's
seven
transportation
priorities
are
funded
through
this
revenue
proposal.
O
O
Moving
on
the
revenue
proposal
also
would
fully
fund
our
request
for
18
million
dollars
for
the
east
trail
for
the
I-90
steel
bridge,
which
is
a
critical
connection
between
bellevue
and
renton,
and
that
third
priority
I
wanted
to
highlight
for
you
is:
the
package
includes
full
funding
for
the
mountains
to
sound
greenway
next
phase,
which
is
the
150th
nearly
seven
million
dollars
so
very
exciting,
to
see
funding
for
all
three
of
those
things
in
there.
I
think
that
bellevue's
joint
outreach,
together
with
the
chamber
and
the
bda,
has
been
very
successful
in
this
area.
O
You
might
remember
that
last
year
the
city
and
the
chamber
co-hosted
a
tour
of
our
seven
transportation
legislative
priorities.
We
even
got
got
the
bus
and
legislators
stuck
in
a
little
bit
of
our
traffic
to
give
them
a
realistic
experience
of
what
it
is
like
to
travel
around
in
bellevue.
So
it's
exciting
that
three
out
of
seven
of
our
priorities
would
be
funded
through
this
proposal.
O
Mayor
robinson,
council,
member
robertson
and
council
members
on
have
all
spoken
in
support
of
the
package,
and
we
really
appreciate
that
now
the
legislature
continues
to
hash
out
the
details
on
the
revenue
side.
So
it's
not
a
done
deal
yet,
but
very
excited
to
report
on
progress
in
this
important
area.
O
Many
of
you
know
that
hb
1782
would
have
required
lots
exceeding
4
500
square
feet
that
are
currently
zoned
for
single-family
housing
within
half
a
mile
of
a
transit.
Stop
major
transit,
stop
to
be
zoned
for
duplex
triplex,
four
plex
detached
data
use,
townhouses
and
other
missing
middle
housing
types
and
additionally,
that
type
of
lot
that
is
outside
of
the
half
hour.
Half
mile
radius
of
major
transit
stops
would
have
the
bill
would
have
required
cities
to
allow
duplexes
and
detached
adus
on
those
lots.
O
So
the
bill
was
intended
to
increase,
affordable
housing,
which
bellevue
does
support
the
region's
goal
of
increasing,
affordable
housing.
However,
the
bill
was
inconsistent
with
council's
adopted
state
legislative
agenda,
which
opposes
state
mandates
like
this
one.
So
of
course,
bellevue
opposed
the
bill.
O
We
in
other
cities
raised
concerns
about
increased
density
that
would
be
spread
throughout
the
city
across
all
single-family
zoning
of
4
500
square
feet
or
greater
that
it
would
have
negative
impacts
to
traffic
to
water
and
sewer
infrastructure,
to
the
environment
and
similar
infrastructure
issues,
and
we're
also
concerned
about
whether
the
bill
would
actually
result
in
increased,
affordable
housing
since
similar
laws
in
oregon
and
california
haven't
seemed
to
do
so.
So
we
and
the
association
of
washington
cities
raised
concerns
about
these
bills
and
it
it
and
the
bill
will
not
be
advancing
this
session.
O
So
now,
I'd
like
to
turn
to
a
a
local
land
use
authority,
bill
and
preemption
of
local
control
bill
that
is
still
pending
and
may
advance
this
session,
and
that
is
house
bill.
1660
regarding
accessory
dwelling
units
or
adus
hb
1660
would
preempt
local
land
use
authority
regarding
adus
and
therefore
is
inconsistent
with
bellevue's
2022
adopted
state
legislative
agenda,
so
bellevue
opposes
this
bill.
O
The
the
some
of
the
parts
that
are
of
greatest
concern
to
bellevue
about
this
bill
are
that,
first
of
all,
the
bill
authorizes
no
less
than
one
attached
adu
and
one
detached
adu
on
lots
of
4500
square
feet
or
more
in
single
family
zones,
so
that
would
be
three
units
total
on
a
lot
of
4
500
square
feet
across
the
city.
So
current
city
policy,
as
you
know,
only
authorizes
one
attached,
adu
and
no
detached
adus.
O
O
So
the
goal
behind
the
bill,
as
with
the
missing
middle
bill,
is
to
increase
affordable
housing
supply,
which
of
course,
bellevue
agrees,
is
a
big
need
and
important
need
in
our
region.
However,
the
bill
does
not
include
any
of
the
requirements
for
the
adus
to
be
affordable.
O
So
again,
this
brings
up
the
question
of
whether
the
bill
would
be
meeting
the
goals.
The
stated
goals
of
the
legislation-
and
we
again
similar
to
the
missing
middle
bill
bellevue,
has
concerns
about
placing
three
units
so
significantly
increasing
density
throughout
the
entire
entire
city,
rather
than
taking
bellevue's
approach
to
concentrate
density
near
transit,
for
example,
which
could
better
serve
increased
density
rather
than
increasing
traffic
throughout
the
city.
So
that
is
a
bill
that
bellevue
continues
to
weigh
in
on
and
continues
to
discuss
and
work
with
legislators
on.
O
I
picked
those
three
bills
to
highlight
for
you
tonight
out
of
a
list
of
dozens,
if
not
a
hundred,
that
we're
monitoring
and
and
closely
working
with
our
partners
of
the
association
of
washington
cities
and
and
our
neighboring
cities
on
mayor.
That
concludes
my
comments
for
tonight
and
I'd
be
happy
to
take
any
questions.
A
K
So
mayor
and
council
members,
the
next
item
on
your
study
session
agenda
is
a
quarterly
cultural
and
economic
development
update
and
to
provide
that
update.
Joining
us.
This
evening
is
jessica,
nader,
our
chief
economic
development
officer,
philly
marsha
economic
development
manager,
as
well
as
edward
butterfield,
our
public-private
partnership
manager,
all
from
community
development.
With
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
jesse.
P
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki
mayor
deputy
mayor
members
of
council,
we're
looking
forward
to
tonight's
quarterly
report
on
economic
development,
as
we
bridge
from
the
earlier
kudos
for
kate
barron's
want
to
note
that
kate
was
a
major
stakeholder
in
developing
the
economic
development
plan
whose
progress
we're
reporting
on
tonight.
She
was
a
key
advisor
for
all
of
us
as
we
we
developed
the
plan
that
was
passed
in
the
fall
of
2020..
P
So
we
can
you
there
we
go.
Tonight's
presentation
is
for
information.
Only
though
there
is
some
crossover
between
our
economic
development
report
and
the
next
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
the
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
noise
code
and
we'll
go
into
detail
on
those
in
a
moment.
P
Next
slide,
please
and
then,
as
we
think,
about
the
broad
story
of
tonight's
agenda.
I
want
to
note
for
council
that
one
of
the
the
big
things
that
you'll
hear
about
tonight
is
tourism
and
in
some
ways,
from
an
economic
development
perspective.
2022
is
the
year
of
tourism
as
a
lot
of
the
policies
that
were
laid
out
in
the
economic
development
plan.
P
Really
will
focus
will
come
to
the
fort
this
year,
as
we
lay
the
foundations
for
improving
tourism
in
the
coming
years,
particularly
as
you'll
hear
our
historical
reliance
on
business-related
travel,
which
has
been
slower
to
return,
continues
to
mean
our
tourism
industry
is
looking
for
some
additional
support
and
I
think
we're
laying
all
the
right
foundations
to
help
them
make
2022
and
beyond
even
brighter
for
visitors
here
in
bellevue
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
philly.
Q
Thank
you
jesse.
So,
over
the
first
year
of
implementation
of
our
ed
plan,
we
have
made
great
strides
in
all
chapters,
while
balancing
continued
covet
response
and
immediate
business
needs.
Within
the
first
year
of
the
plan's
five-year
implementation
period,
work
has
begun
or
been
incorporated
into
the
ongoing
operation
of
58
of
the
strategies
and
tactics.
Q
Within
the
plan
we
have
new
staff
on
board
that
has
brought
new
energy,
especially
in
the
creative
economy,
with
our
new
community
arts
manager,
who
you
heard
from
last
month,
lori
hoffman,
as
well
as
capacity
building
with
our
new
p3
manager,
edward
butterfield,
who
will
meet
tonight
to
hear
about
the
launch
of
our
retail
study.
Our
small
businesses
and
entrepreneurship
ecosystem
continues
to
strengthen
and
grow
by
working
with
partners
within
the
city
and
throughout
the
region,
and
we
will
soon
have
a
new
workforce
specialist
to
focus
on
the
implementation
of
our
workforce.
Chapter.
Q
From
an
unemployment
recovery
perspective,
the
end
of
the
year
continue
to
see
drops
in
unemployment
to
under
3
percent.
While
this
is
seen
as
a
great
sign
of
recovery,
we
are
starting
to
hear
about
labor
shortages,
affecting
all
our
businesses
across
all
sectors
and
creating
challenges
for
recruiting
and
retaining
workers
that
new
workforce
specialist
will
be
tasked
with
optimizing.
Q
This
slide
represents
some
of
the
findings
of
our
business
relations
program,
as
seen
through
our
biennial
business
survey.
In
short,
this
bellevue
continues
to
have
a
business
friendly
and
strong
economy
that
doesn't
go
unnoticed
by
our
business
community.
Now,
while
these
are
great
marks,
we
know
that
there's
areas
for
improvement
and
we
can't
rest
on
our
laurels.
It's
imperative
that
we
continue
to
work
with
our
partners,
both
within
bellevue
and
across
the
region,
to
provide
superior
service
to
our
businesses.
P
Thank
you,
philly.
One
of
the
interesting
intersections
between
tourism
and
arts
here
in
bellevue
is
our
work
to
develop
the
bellred
arts
district,
which
really
means
to
bring
the
existing
creative
activity.
That's
happening
in
the
neighborhood
elevate
it
and
bring
it
more
to
the
fore
with
the
goal
of
making
the
bellred
neighborhood
a
regional
and
hopefully,
a
national
destination
for
the
arts
and
the
creative
economy.
P
As
we're
looking
at
the
the
year
ahead,
there
are
a
couple
of
key
things
that
we're
working
on
to
help
really
accelerate
the
development
and
the
understanding
of
bellred
as
an
arts
oriented
neighborhood.
This
was
one
of
the
key
strategies
called
out
in
the
economic
development
plan
and,
as
we've
looked
at
the
different
paths
ahead,
we've
engaged
a
consultant
to
help
us
develop
the
key
steps
and
help
us
engage
with
the
community
to
help
really
cement.
The
arts
district
in
the
next
coming
months.
P
You'll
hear
us
more
about
the
the
market
study
that
we're
launching
with
a
group
called
artspace
which
will
study
the
need
for
housing
for
artists
and
creative
space
for
arts,
supporting
activities
which
again
will
help
bring
in
additional
visitors
and
create
a
higher
quality
of
life
for
bell
viewers
who
are
looking
for
more
creative
outlets,
we'll
be
launching
a
mural
pilot
program
in
the
velvet
neighborhood,
with
the
support
of
one
of
our
larger
employers
here
in
the
community.
P
If
that
project
is
successful,
then
we
will
scale
it
out
to
the
city-wide
opportunities,
but
we're
really
looking
to
target
the
arts
district
first
to
help
create
some
additional
identity
and
recognition
for,
for
that
particular
neighborhood.
So
you'll
see
some
of
those
murals,
hopefully
start
to
get
deployed
towards
the
end
of
2022,
and
then
another
key
piece
for
this
year
is
working
with
with
our
consultants
and
partners
to
convene
a
stakeholder
group
specific
to
the
arts
district.
P
One
of
the
key
things
that
we
found
in
our
work
with
the
community
and
our
various
consultants
is
that
there
at
the
moment
is
no
organized
group
similar
to
the
bda,
which
helps
us
make
downtown
a
great
place.
We're
hoping
that
this
initial
stakeholder
group
may
eventually
evolve
into
an
organization
similar
to
the
bda
that
helps
manage
market
and
provide
additional
support
for
the
arts
district,
and
a
lot
of
the
work
that
I'm
laying
out
is
will
be
done
to
staff
level.
P
In
partnership
with
our
external
organizations,
we
found
that
many
of
the
key
policies
are
in
place
to
help
support
the
arts
district
and
really
it's
about
getting
getting
folks
around
the
table
to
help
begin
implementing
specific
ideas.
One
area
where
we
may
return
to
the
council
later
this
year
would
be
to
help
provide
some
specific
and
more
defined
boundaries
for
the
arts
district.
P
When
we
speak
about
the
arts
district,
specifically
we're
hoping
to
create
a
more
compact
definition
of
that
within
bel-rad,
and
that
would
help
us
as
we
look
to
state
and
federal
grant
opportunities
to
help
accelerate
the
work
in
the
neighborhood
and
one
area
that
bridges
from
the
arts
district
to
our
other
work
around.
The
economic
development
plan
is
the
forthcoming,
our
upcoming
citywide
retail
study,
and
I
will
hand
it
over
to
edward
to
talk
about
that
particular
project.
J
All
right,
thank
you.
Jesse,
as
jesse
mentioned
we'd
like
to
write
an
update
on
the
retail
study.
This
is
a
key
implementation
step
of
the
economic
development
plan
and
our
goal
is
to
launch
a
study
in
2022.
J
The
preliminary
scope
that
we're
still
drafting
is
really
broken
up
into
sub
components.
The
first
one
is
a
retail
market
analysis
and
we
really
want
to
look
at
high-level
economic
data
and
really
understand
the
major
impacts
that
covet
has
had
on
our
retail
businesses
in
the
last
two
years.
We
also
want
to
look
at
gaps
in
retail
services
in
bellevue.
J
The
other
component
is
really
district
capacity
building.
This
goes
back
to
us
really
fostering
the
creation
of
business,
district
associations
and
organizations
in
bellevue.
Next,
we
want
to
look
at
land
use
code.
We
can
always
think
of
ways
to
encourage
the
preservation
of
our
existing
spaces
and
create
new
spaces
that
are
really
suitable
for
small
businesses.
J
We'd
really
like
to
look
at
our
land
use
code
and
see
where
we
might
be
able
to
change
and
create
more
flexibility
for
existing
and
new
developments
and
then
equity.
You
know
we
want
to
preserve,
grow
and
foster
our
diverse
retail
businesses,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
to
look
at
how
to
support
that
effort
and
then
finally,
auto
service.
J
J
As
we
talked
about
land
use
code,
we
also
a
staff
will
be
using
this
information
to
market
and
our
recruitment
efforts,
and
then
finally,
we
really
see
this
as
sharing
this
information
with
our
brokers
and
and
our
real
estate
community
to
understand
what's
viable,
going
forward
with
retailers
and,
finally,
the
steps
that
we'll
be
going
through
this
year
in
march,
we'll
be
as
I'll
be
spending
some
time
with
this,
with
the
staff
on
meeting
with
our
stakeholder
community
and
really
get
their
feedback
on
what
they
would
like
to
see
in
the
study
and
then
in
may
we'll
be
back
to
the
council
for
an
update
with
a
little
more
details
on
the
scope
and
then
july.
J
Potentially
june
or
july
to
issue
rfp
for
a
consultant
to
help
us
with
that
study,
so
very
excited
about
this
effort
in
2022,
so
I'll
turn
over
to
philly
and
jesse.
Thank
you.
Q
Edward,
so
both
further
development
of
the
bellroy
arts
district,
as
well
as
the
district
development
foundation
that
will
be
set
through
the
retail
study,
will
help
to
support
the
recovering
growth
of
our
tourism
indus
industry
2021
was
a
roller
coaster
of
a
year
for
our
tourism
industry.
We
had
a
sweet
spot
there
in
july,
but
then,
unfortunately,
with
the
delta
variant,
followed
by
the
omnicron
variant,
the
fall
and
winter
months
continued
to
be
a
struggle.
Q
Q
We
have
the
rock
and
roll
marathon
coming
to
bellevue
in
september,
back
in
q4
staff
worked
with
visit
bellevue
in
this
to
assist
in
the
attraction
of
that
event,
and
then
recently,
community
development
led
a
study
mission
with
select
members
of
the
bellevue
special
events
committee
to
go
to
arizona
to
see
a
behind-the-scenes
on
experience
of
the
event
in
real
life,
the
bellevue
staff
was
able
to
shadow
their
city
counterparts
and
witness
the
operational
detail
of
the
event.
Q
It
was
an
invaluable
experience
and
these
lessons
learned
and
best
practices
are
being
incorporated
into
our
event
here.
In
september,
route
development
is
currently
taking
place
through
the
special
events
committee,
and
we
are
now
planning
for
corporate
and
community
engagement
opportunities.
We
hope
to
have
some
information
posted
on
that
within
the
next
few
weeks.
Q
We
also
are
working
on
the
tourism
promotion
area.
Progress
continues
with
over
80
percent
of
petitions
signed
and
we're
currently
working
on
the
development
of
an
ila
with
the
city
of
redmond.
Q
Additionally,
we
have
the
noise
code
amendments
and
these
are
really
to
support
the
smaller
scale.
Events
within
our
city,
so
a
constant
theme
that
has
been
heard
through
many
of
our
recent
planning
efforts
was
the
desire
for
more
vibrancy
and
community
connection
through
small
art
and
cultural
activations,
as
well
as
the
community
gatherings.
Q
You
can
see
this
feedback
within
our
economic
development
plan,
focus
groups,
great
neighborhood
planning,
grand
connection
destination
development
plan
and
even
the
recent
neighborhood
gathering
event
on
the
comp
plan.
At
the
same
time,
we
were
hearing
from
some
of
our
stakeholders
that
there
were
some
barriers
in
creating
that
vibrancy
and
community
connection.
Due
to
some
restrictions.
Q
Q
Q
So
the
amendments
are
really
strictly
limited
to
extending
when
amplified
sound
can
take
place
in
order
to
better
support
the
neighborhoods
and
organizations
that
want
to
bring
activities
and
vibra
vibrancy
to
our
community
by
extending
those
hours
past
5
p.m.
After
work,
active
activities
can
occur
that
bring
energy
to
bellevue
and
support
bellevue
being
a
destination
of
choice
for
employees.
Q
We're
hoping
to
see.
Some
of
these
changes
take
place,
so
we
can
before
the
summer
months.
So
we
can
take
advantage
of
this
summer
to
assist
with
tourism
recovery,
an
application
and
permit
will
still
be
required,
and
that
will
help
us
be
able
to
track
and
monitor
any
issues
that
may
arise
and,
following
this
presentation,
as
jesse
mentioned,
you'll
hear
more
details
from
the
from
development
services.
P
Initial
report
back
to
council
later
this
year,
the
noise
control
amendment
work
and
then
in
q2,
we'll
be
back
to
the
council,
with
some
information
on
a
proposed
interlocal
agreement
to
help
enable
the
tourism
promotion
area
that
will
enable
additional
resources
to
help
our
visitor
economy.
We'll
be
kicking
off
that
city-wide
retail
study
and
more
data
later
this
year
on
the
art
space
study,
as
we
analyze
the
necessary
housing
and
commercial
spaces
to
help
make
the
creative
economy
here.
P
In
bellevue
really
shine
so
with
all
of
the
work,
that's
being
that's
been
mentioned
tonight,
with
the
improved
noise
code,
with
additional
events
happening
across
the
city,
with
an
emerging
arts
district
and
with
more
information
on
the
changing
nature
of
retail
bellevue
is
really
positioning
itself,
to
be
able
to
say
hello
to
new
faces
and
hello
again
to
returning
faces
later
in
2022
and
in
into
2023
and
beyond.
A
Great,
thank
you
all
for
the
excellent
presentation.
I
just
want
to
remind
council
that
our
next
study
session
item
is
to
drill
a
little
deeper
into
this
noise
ordinance.
So
we
can
save
questions
on
that
for
the
next
study
session
item.
But
does
anybody
have
any
comments
or
questions
on
this?
I
see
council,
deputy
mayor
moon
house,
councilmember,
barksdale,
councilmember,
stokes,
councilmember
zahn,
so
go
ahead
and
start
us
off
deputy
mayor.
I
Thank
you
mayor.
First
of
all,
thanks
for
the
great
presentation
always
good
to
get
a
nice
update
on
what's
going
on
with
economic
development,
there's
a
couple
of
questions
based
on
your
report
tonight.
So
actually,
I
think,
as
mr
butterfield
you
mentioned,
about
the
stresses
on
the
auto
services,
can
you
dive
a
little
bit
deeper
on
on
what
that
is?
What
are
those
those
issues,
as
relates
to
auto
services,.
P
So
I
can
tackle
that
first
and
then
invite
edward
to
share
some
additional
information.
Some
of
that
just
has
to
deal
with
some
of
the
the
changing
nature
of
development
in
bellevue.
We
have
some
auto
dealers
that
are
looking
for
for
relocation
sites
as
their
their
current
sites
are
being
contemplated
for
vertical
development
or
mixed-use
development.
So
it's
not
it's
not
an
overwhelming
issue.
There
are
just
a
couple
of
you
know:
tweaks
we
want
to.
P
I
That
on
the
on
the
half
marathon-
and
I
think
this
some
of
this
may
have
been
mentioned
during
the
first
presentation
on
this.
But
can
you
just
remind
me
the
what
we're
looking
at
in
terms
of
the
economic
impact
to
the
half
marathon
to
the
city
of
bellevue
in
terms
of
number
of
hotel
rooms
that
will
be
occupied
overall
impact
to
our
restaurants
and
bars
et
cetera?
Q
Yeah,
we
should
be
getting
an
early
update
on
registration
numbers,
but
it's
current
currently
anticipated
for
about
8
000
runners,
the
arizona
one
had
10
000
that
actually
ran
in
the
race
with
that
8
000
runner.
The
economic
impact
projections
were
about
4
500
room
nights
and
the
close
to
5
million
in
total
economic
impact.
If
I'm
remembering
correctly
from
that
presentation,
great.
I
Thank
you
so
much
and
then,
and
then
districts
so
going
forward
with
that
jesse.
Are
we
going
to
be
creating
districts
all
over
the
city
and
then
is
it
going
to
be
based
on
use
or
based
on
location
or
it
sounds
like
there
is
a
greater
plan
for
districts
throughout
the
city,
or
are
we
just
honing
in
on
a
couple
of
districts
such
as
the
the
bell
red
arts
districts,
because
it
sounds
to
me
like
that's
where
you
were
going
with
that,
but
it
might
be
wrong.
P
You're
correct
debbie
mayor,
so
the
work
that
we're
talking
about
is
influenced
by
the
economic
development
plan,
so
it'll
be
working
in
our
emerging
mixed
use.
Neighborhoods
like
bellred
crossroads,
factoria,
they're,
really
business-centric
neighborhoods
that
are
adding
housing
to
help
bring
those
stakeholder
groups
together
and
help
them
market.
The
neighborhood
make
sure
the
environment
is
correct,
for
retail.
Do
the
marketing
and
other
special
events
that
help
give
those
areas
some
additional
character
and
draw
in
visitors
and
provide
higher
quality
of
life
for
bell
viewers.
I
A
It
councilmember
barksdale.
G
All
right,
thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
the
presentation
and
I'm
excited
about
the.
I
think
you
called
it
vibrant.
I
call
it
nightlife.
I'm
excited
about
more
of
that
nightlife.
Coming
a
couple
of
questions
on
the
retail
study.
One
question
in
the
retail
study
and
I
have
another
question:
how
does
the
not
to
get
too
into
wheeze?
G
P
So
I'll
I'll
start
off,
councilman
mark
still
invite
edward
to
share
a
little
more,
so
we
definitely
are
looking
at
want
to
include
in
the
scope
the
work
on
mom
and
pop
individual.
You
know
single
location,
type
of
establishments,
we're
hearing
from
the
council
and
from
the
community
that
those
are
the
types
of
businesses
that
they're
hoping
to
see
more
represented
in
bellevue
going
forward.
So
part
of
the
consultant's
work
will
be
to
help
us
understand
what
are
some
of
the
challenges
and
barriers
in
the
existing
market.
P
We
know
bellevue's
expensive,
but
are
there
other
barriers
that
might
be
keeping
those
those
types
of
businesses
and
those
owners
from
coming
forward?
Edward?
Is
there
anything
you'd
want
to
add
to
that.
J
Sure-
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
we'd
be
looking
at
with
the
consultant-
is
to
have
an
equitable
engagement
plan
as
part
of
their
scope,
where
they
would
demonstrate
any
language
or
other
that
that
they
are
reaching
out
with
staff
for
those
underserved
businesses
and
and
even
to
the
point
that
we'd
be
keeping
track
of
any
statistics
or
any
other
additional
information
to
demonstrate
that.
So
that
is
one
thing
we'll
embed
into
the
scope
of
work.
G
And
thank
you
for
that.
Just
to
clarify.
Does
that
mean
we
will
also
engage
business
owners
who
are
underrepresented
in
bellevue
who
are
outside
of
bellevue
as
well
as
part
of
this
retail
study,
because
I
think
it's
difficult
to
understand
that
perspective.
If
we're
only
looking
at
bellevue
and
they're
not
represented,
if
that
makes
sense,.
P
G
Second,
our
last
question
on
the
business
relations
piece.
How
many
respondents
were
there
and
then
I
was
curious
about
for
the
67
and
the
68,
of
course,
that
is
dependent
on
the
number
of
respondents
how
impactful?
That
is
what
were
contributing
factors
they're
above
50
for
sure
a
little
lower,
though
than
maybe
desire
for
the
likelihood
of
recommending
doing
business
in
bellevue
and
recommending
bellevue
as
a
vibrant
arts
and
cultural
destination.
Q
Sure
and
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
with
that,
we
have
details
and
we
can
go
back
on
the
exact
numbers.
I
think
we
had
742
respondents
which
represented
just
under
10
of
our
active
business
licenses
for
the
year,
but
I
can
provide
a
detail
of
those
responses
and
then
how
they've
moved
up,
because
a
couple
of
them
actually
had
significant
bumps
up
to
our
previous
survey.
E
Yeah,
thank
you
yeah.
This
is
this
is
to
me
very
exciting.
You
know,
as
we
talked
about
this
before
and
and
to
answer
to
a
certain
extent,
the
deputy
mayor's
question,
which
is
this
is
a
good
one
because
we
always
have
to
keep
in
terms.
E
You
know
the
whole
city
is
involved,
but
we've
been
talking
about
a
you,
know:
arts
and
cultural
center
in
belm
red
for
a
long
long
time,
and
it's
because
that's
actually,
where
a
lot
of
the
arts,
and
particularly
people
who
were
creative
arts
and
making
things
were
there.
So
it's
it's
a
great
thing
because
we're
we're
already
advanced
in
that
area,
and
once
this
gets
this
whole
thing
gets
put
together,
it's
easier
to
transfer
and
go
to
the
other
areas
in
the
city.
E
So
I
think
that's
a
good
thing
to
understand
that
this
is
a
city-wide
thing,
but
it's
starting
in
in
the
arts
district
here.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
comment
on
and
and
this
is
very
exciting-
and
we
again
have
some
basis
for
being
hopeful
on
this-
is
a
stakeholder
group.
One
of
the
things
that
that
we
did
on
east
rail
from
the
very
beginning
was
put
together
a
strong.
E
You
know
stakeholder
group
that
helped
financially
in
other
ways,
and
this
will
so
we
again
have
had
a
you
know,
kind
of
proof
of
the
pudding
thing,
and
one
of
the
interesting
things
is
that
greg
johnson
who
happens
to
be
you
know
connected
with
the
bellred
area,
was
very
pivotal
and
important
in
the
east
rail
functioning
of
the
stakeholder
group
as
well.
E
So
again,
what
we're
doing
is
is
really
good
good
business,
good
city
approach
on
things
and
staff
is
just
doing
a
fantastic
job,
we're
working
on
things
that
we've
been
trying
to
put
together
for
a
long
time,
a
lot
of
experience,
a
lot
of
things.
We've
tried
worked
on,
so
we
had
the
you
know
kind
of
looking
at
this,
so
we're
we're
actually
putting
it
all
together
now
and
going
forward
so
again
from
a
hall
city
perspective.
E
This
gives
us
great
hope
that,
once
that
we
get
this
going,
this
can
be
expanded
in
and
we
will
have
arts
and
cultural
activities
across
the
city,
and
you
know
downtown's
a
big
part
too.
So
it's
kind
of
a
really
pilot
in
a
sense,
but
it's
something
we're
I'm
just
so
excited
we're
pushing
this
forward
and
it's
bringing
a
lot
of
pieces
together
and
again.
It
goes
back
and
validates
the
whole
concept
of
the
creative
economy,
and
this
is
how
we
do
that,
how
we
make
it
work.
E
So
I
mean
a
lot
of
questions
we
can
talk
about,
but
I
think
the
presentation
is
very
good
staff's
really
on
online.
The
arts
commission
is
working
hard
on
this.
Lori
hoffman
is
just
a
great
great
addition
to
the
team,
so
I
think
we're
in
a
good
spot
to
make
this
go
forward
and
looking
forward
to
seeing
all
these
the
plans
and
stuff
we're
doing
implemented,
and
I
think
we're
council's
gonna
be
there
to
help
help
you
get
this
along.
So
thank
you.
H
Council
members
on
yes
thank
you
and
welcome
edward
as
the
new
p3
manager.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say.
H
About
the
work
that
we're
doing
a
couple
of
comments
and
questions
on
a
small
business
development
center,
I
see
that
we've
exceeded
all
of
our
goals
in
terms
of
the
receiving
assistance
and
programming.
H
I'm
wondering,
though,
when
we
look
at
the
impact
and
the
outcome
is
that
something
we're
measuring
that
that
those
assistants
have
resulted
in
them
staying
in
the
city
of
bellevue
or
increasing
their
revenue?
So
that's
one
of
the
questions
that
I
have
and
then,
when
I
think
about
the
retail
study,
thank
you.
I
didn't
see
in
the
packet
the
word
equity,
but
I
see
in
our
powerpoint
presentation
that
equity
is
part
of
it
and
I
guess
my
question
there
would
be,
or
just
to
amplify
the
message
from
from
councilman
barksdale
about
really
understanding
who's.
H
Not
here,
why
they're
not
here,
understanding
the
future
needs?
We
hear
a
lot
from
our
biplock
businesses
that
access
to
both
the
opportunity
and
capital
are
some
barriers
to
success.
So
I'd
like
to
really
understand
what
are
those
barriers
specifically
related
to
equity
and
the
small
mom-and-pop
shops
that
and
those
that
english
may
not
be
first
language
and
have
barriers
to
even
know
what's
available?
H
And
the
housing
for
artists
same
thing
here:
how
do
we
make
sure
we're
reaching
out
to
those
that
are
not
in
bellevue
because
they
can't
afford
to
be
right
now
and
so
the
bipod
community,
I'm
also
concerned
about
the
lgbtq
community
and
whether
they
feel
like
bellevue
is
a
place
where
they
belong
and
their
art
and
then
lastly,
I
know
we
have
you
know
with
the
israel
and
the
bridge-
the
japanese
internment
art.
H
H
Then
is
when
we're
talking
the
ancillary
services
with
otto,
I'm
actually
wondering
about
in
small
shops
like
seamstress
laundry
other
ones
where
the
margin
might
be
very,
very
small
from
a
profitability
standpoint,
how
we're
making
sure
that
they,
those
that
have
already
been
pushed
out,
have
a
space
to
come
back,
because
we've
certainly
heard
from
our
community
that
that's
also
a
part
of
the
fabric
of
a
livable
vibrant
city
is
that
we
actually
have
the
those
kind
of
services
right
in
our
city
and
I'm
concerned
about
their
ability
to
pay
retail
rents
at
market.
P
Thank
you,
council
members
on
I'll
address
those
again
in
reverse
order,
like
the
ancillary
services.
That
will
be
something
that
we
look
at
in
the
retail
study.
We
do
understand
that
those
some
of
those
ancillary
services
or
lower
margin
services
are
an
important
part
of
quality
of
life,
making
sure
you
can
access
your
needs
within
your
own
neighborhood
and,
similarly
that
you
have
access.
You
have
the
ability
to
have
your
own
business
within
your
community,
so
we
will
be
looking
at
that.
So
we'll
make
sure
that
that
is
addressed
in
the
scope.
P
With
regards
to
the
japanese
american
commemoration
project,
we
continue
to
be
engaged
with
that
group.
That
work
has
largely
been
taken
on
by
a
community
organization,
so
we
are
following
their
lead
and
are
prepared
to
to
support
additional
sites
as
those
opportunities
come
up
with
the
arts
district.
Yes,
we
are
I'm
going
to
make
sure
that
we're
engaging
with
folks
outside
the
community.
The
consultant
that
we'll
be
working
with
is
a
group
called
art
space,
which
is
a
nationwide
consultant.
H
The
one
about
the
small
business
development
center.
I
am
curious
about
how
you
measure
impact
versus
attendance.
Q
Yeah,
so
what
you're,
seeing
in
how
why
we
exceeded
the
goals
was
unfortunately
due
to
covid
and
just
the
vast
need
of
assistance
that
was
out
there
so
with
the
with
the
sbdc
center.
One
way
that
we
kind
of
measure
the
outcomes
is
by
numbers
of
jobs,
supported
if
there's
funding
that
they
receive
for
to
be
able
to
expand
and
grow
their
business
same
thing
with
our
business
impact
northwest
with
startup
425.
Q
The
foundations
course
is
kind
of
that
101,
a
lot
of
people
coming
with
just
an
idea
about
a
business,
but
how
that
has
developed
is
there's
actually
it's
a
kind
of
a
pipeline
or
funnel,
where
now
with
the
innovations
lab.
That's
where
there's
kind
of
a
deep
dive
eight-week
course
with
businesses
that
are
paired
with
a
mentor
and
they're
really
prepped
for
being
able
to
receive
funding
and
or
take
advantage
of
contracting
opportunities.
Q
So,
whereas
there's
a
couple
of
testimonials,
I'm
happy
to
share
through
the
startup
425
about
some
businesses,
growing,
a
business,
30
percent
receiving
government
contracts,
etc.
So
those
are
some
of
the
ways
we
measure
that
particular
program.
It's
within
the
business
growth
of
the
end
of
that
pipeline,
okay,.
C
I
like
to
follow
up
on
a
couple
of
things
councilmember
zhang
mentioned.
Then
I
have
a
couple
questions
on
my
own.
She
talked
about
the
commemoration
about
japanese
americans
in
bellevue.
You
know
this
is
very
important
because
bellevue,
you
know
used
to
be
a
an
area
where
a
lot
of
japanese
americans
work
here
farm.
They
lived
here
and
we
know
what
happened,
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
remember
and
we
need
to
make
sure.
C
And
secondly,
I
want
to
extend
that
into
other
minority
groups
and
one
of
which
is
in
chinese
america.
Obviously,
the
biggest
minority
groupie
now
in
belgium
is
probably
chinese
americans
and
it's
the
asian
americans.
So
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
forget
if
you
want
to
commemorate
what
we're
you
know
what
our
history
is
and
also
what
continues
to
be
to
remember
and
to
move
forward
to
encourage
continue.
C
While
we
do,
I
think
that's
something
to
to
to
include
so
yeah.
We
don't
want
to
neglect
one
and
take
care
of
the
other
we're
going
to
be
all-inclusive,
but
the
second
thing
is
with
sbdc
good
question:
it's
a
u.s
small
business
administration
program
primarily
and
sba
is
in
seattle,
so
we
have
to
work
with
them
closely.
C
I
am
I'm
really
glad
you
guys
have
been
doing
that
very
well
good,
and
but
it's
something
that
I
think
we
need
to
collaborate
with
more
closely
and
and
add
our
a
need
and
which
is
looking
at
metrics,
like
council
ambassador
was
suggesting
so
that
we
know
for
sure
you
know
or
when
there's
a
connection.
What
are
we
doing
for
our
community
and
helping
the
people
that
really
are
needed?
C
Ultimately,
my
question
is:
I'm
really
I'd
like
to
know
more
about
bell
red
arts
district.
I
know
that
bell
recorder
when
it's
developed
has
many
many
intended
purposes.
It's
very
you
know
it's
very
well
planned.
As
we
all
know,
it's
one
of
the
best
planned
projects
there
is,
you
know,
and
one
of
which
is
including
all
the
purposely
inten
intentionally
planned
things
that
we
need
to
make
it
a
great
place
to
live
so
arts
and
culture
is
included
and
there's
also
some
economic
development
activities,
educational
development
activities.
C
We
talk
about
gix,
you
know
that's
a
entrepreneurial
educational
project
with
you
know,
which
I
think
is
still
there.
I
you
know,
I
don't
think
it's
moving
as
much
as
what
we
want
it
to
be,
it's
not
as
planned,
but
I
think
we
should
not
ignore
it.
It's
there
and
it's
part
of
what
we
need
to
emphasize.
C
So
I
am
interested
in
the
bellroy
arts
district
for
sure
it's
an
important
piece
of
bellring
corridor,
very
important,
and
but
I
I
I
want
to
know
what
are
we
doing
with
the
others,
the
other
the
rest
of
it?
We
have.
You
know
the
ballet
group
right
there.
They
have
a
location
there,
I'm
not
sure
what
happened
recently.
C
You
know,
of
course,
we
pay
attention
to
sound
transfer.
Obviously,
because
light
rail
transportation
is
a
key
ingredient
to
make
all
these
successful,
but
how
about
the
other
developments?
You
know
we
talk
about,
maybe
parks.
You
know
we
talk
about
various
other
things,
but
we
need
to
also
talk
about
land
use.
C
How
do
we
encourage
more
economic
development
through
encouraging
and
developing
other
uses,
because
if
we
don't
have
the
population,
if
you
don't
have
the
business,
if
there's
people
living
there,
arts
and
culture
is
not
gonna
happen
right,
so
I
I
would
like
to
have
a
overall
comprehensive
development
plan
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
just
go
on
one
and
without
the
support
like
missing
the
other
piece
and
then
so.
Well,
we
didn't
make
it
work
or
it
does
not
work,
but
then
we
have.
We
have
to
know
why
you
know.
So.
C
I
think
it's
important.
Let's
do
a
more
comprehensive
economic
picture
and
then
all
the
pieces.
I
would
like
to
know
how
they
fit
and
how
it
works.
How
you
know,
how
can
we
make
it
eventually
all
work
together
and,
as
you
know,
craig
johnson
was
a
big
piece
of
it.
He
started
the
spring
district,
but
you
know
it's
more
than
that
and
it
has
to
do
with
housing
with
living
with
other
amenities
with
businesses
you
mentioned
about.
C
So
that's
that's
really
my
comment
just
to
also
last
thing.
That
means
it's
automobile.
You
mentioned:
what
is
it
yeah?
We?
I
thought
we
already
have
a
a
plan
we
relocate
them
somewhere
and
so
on,
but
likes
this
other
things
that
we
need
to
be
talking
about.
So
I
really
like
to
see
a
bigger
overall,
more
comprehensive
plan
for
what
you're
talking
about.
I,
like
all
the
individual
pieces,
but
I
like
to
see
the
bigger
picture.
Thank
you.
P
Thank
you
councilmember,
as
our
word
continues
to
follow
the
bell
red
plan,
which
is
largely
guiding
the
transformation
of
the
bellred
neighborhood
many
parts
are,
are
going
very
well.
The
arts
district
that
we've
called
out
tonight,
as
you're
saying,
is
just
one
small
portion
of
the
larger
bell
red
community
and
it's
one
area
that
has
been
that
has
had
more
more
difficulty
succeeding
in
the
the
current
market
environment.
K
You
just
heard
about
the
need
for
this
this
this
this
code,
amendment
from
the
economic
development
team
joining
us
this
evening
is
lit
stead.
Our
interim
development
services
department,
director
and
christina
gallant
senior
planner
both
from
the
development
services
department,
I'll,
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
them
to
tee
this
further
up
and
for
you
know
them
to
describe
and
to
respond
to
count
the
questions
so
christina.
I
think
you're
going
to
go
ahead
and
do
the
presentation
if
I'm
correct.
R
R
That's
okay,
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor,
known
house
and
council
members.
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
having
us
here
tonight
to
provide
the
council
with
information
regarding
a
proposed
bellevue
city
code
amendment.
This
is
being
brought
forward
in
response
to
requests
from
the
economic
development
division.
As
jesse
spoke
to
earlier.
The
proposal
is
very
narrowly
focused
and
it
does
respond
to
requests
by
our
business
community
and
our
other
community
members
to
revise
the
noise
control
code.
I
am
joined
tonight
by
nick
whipple,
our
code
and
policy
planning
manager
and
christina
gallant.
R
S
There
we
go
and
just
a
brief
presentation
today
I
will
be
building
on
some
of
what
jesse
and
philly
shared
with
you
during
the
update,
so
we'll
provide
a
little
more
background
specific
to
our
current
code
for
noise
control
and
amplified
sound
equipment.
S
Then
present
our
objectives
at
this
stage
for
the
proposed
set
of
amendments
we'll
also
provide
our
proposed
engagement
process
and
then
finally
bring
it
back
to
the
direction
we're
seeking
so
first
a
little
context.
Other
this.
The
proposed
amendments
concern
one
specific
path
for
using
sound
amplification
equipment
in
the
city.
So
in
order
to
do
so,
you
do
need
to
have
a
permit,
and
the
proposed
amendments
would
affect
small
events,
so
those
fewer
than
500
attendees
larger
events
are
considered
special
events
and
have
a
separate
process.
S
These
events
can't
be
located
in
parks.
There
is
a
separate
process.
The
parks
department
manages
for
dealing
with
events
and
sound
equipment
within
parks.
S
In
addition,
in
order
to
obtain
a
permit,
it
must
be
with
the
property
owner's
permission
either
the
applicant
or
in
partnership
with
the
applicant
and
as
well.
You
must
provide
the
location
where
the
equipment
will
be
used,
its
description
and
the
time
it
will
be
in
use
so
for
eligible
permitees.
We
have
a
several
criteria
to
keep
in
mind
within
our
current
code
and
again,
this
is
for
the
use
of
sound
amplification
permit
only
so,
as
philly
mentioned,
there
is
no
amplification
currently
allowed
on
sundays
or
holidays.
S
S
We
have
some
decibel
limits
as
well
that
define
the
maximum
limits
that
neighboring
properties
can
receive
from
the
the
source
of
the
sound
and
those
vary
depending
on
the
land
use
district,
so
they
are
lower
limits
in
our
single
family
districts
and
the
highest
limits
in
industrial
districts,
for
example,
our
quiet
zone
prohibitions
still
apply
even
with
the
permit
process.
Those
are
very
limited,
however,
and
there
are
additional
protections
for
schools
and
hospitals
that
may
be
neighboring
impactees.
S
So
on
to
the
amendments
themselves,
as
mentioned,
the
this
is
a
focused
proposed
set
of
amendments
that
are
really
intended
to
help
facilitate
those
neighborhood-oriented
events
and
after
work
activations.
The
called
for
in
our
economic
development
plan
and
some
of
the
most
significant
barriers
that
have
been
shared
with
regard
to
our
noise
code.
S
For
these
types
of
events
would
be
removing
the
ban
on
sundays
and
holidays
for
sound
amplification
equipment
and
then
also
looking
at
extending
the
permitted
hours
and
with
that,
we
do,
of
course,
can
differentiate
between
weekdays
and
weekends,
as
we
think
about
extending
those.
S
Otherwise
other
limits
would
remain
with
our
current
permit
process,
and
we
do
want
to
reinforce
that.
This
would
only
impact
sound
amplification
equipment
with
for
small
events.
It
would
not
change
our
regulations
for
other
sources
of
noise,
like
construction,
noise
or
leaf
blowers,
noisy
equipment.
That
sort
of
thing
we
have
a
definition
in
the
code
for
sound
amplification
to
get
at
what
that
means.
S
And
onto
in
the
engagement
process,
so
the
impetus
for
these
amendments
really
came
from
the
economic
development
department's
work
as
as
part
of
the
planning
process.
But
we
have
some
additional
engagement
proposed,
moving
forward,
broad
notification
through
the
neighborhood
news,
cultural
and
economic
development
newsletter,
I'm
also
reaching
out
with
direct
engagement
to
representatives
residents,
events,
cultural
organizations
and
business
community
to
share
what's
being
proposed
and
get
feedback.
R
R
I
do
want
to
note
that
we
will
be
back
in
the
coming
weeks
for
a
study
session
and
at
that
time
we
would
have
a
set
of
proposed
amendments
for
your
consideration.
If
you
choose
to
initiate
the
code
amendment
this
evening.
So
with
that
mayor
robinson,
I
will
pass
this
back
to
you
for
any
further
questions.
A
I
Thank
you,
mayor,
yeah,
just
a
couple
of
quick
questions,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation
this
evening
and
generally
very
supportive
of
moving
this
forward.
Two
quick
questions.
I
don't
know
if
you
heard
the
oral
communications
earlier
this
this
evening,
but
colin
may,
I
believe,
was
his
name
had
some
concerns
or
thought
we
shouldn't
focus
so
much
on
the
amplification.
I
R
Yes,
thank
you
for
that
question.
At
this
time,
we
were
planning
to
very
narrowly
focus
this
amendment
on
the
days
and
hours
so
that
we
could
get
this
work
done
very
quickly.
Certainly,
council
wishes
us
to
consider
more
analysis
around
noise
limitations
and
what
is
an
acceptable
noise
limitation
we'd
be
happy
to
do
so
for
your
consideration.
I
Okay,
thank
you,
liz
yeah.
I
think
that
would
be
a
good
thing
for
for
us
to
consider
and
then
my
only
other
point
was
on
legal
holidays,
I'm
assuming
maybe
in
the
the
ordinance
or
the
code.
Now
it
says
legal
holidays,
not
federal
holidays,
but
the
language
is
not
all
that
inclusive,
because
it
makes
me
think
there
are
illegal
holidays
then,
which
I
don't
think
there
are.
But
can
you
just
helped
me
understand
and
especially
everybody
who's
watching?
S
Yeah,
that's
so
that's
the
current
language
used
in
our
code,
but
generally
it
correlates
well
with
federal
holidays.
We
have
them
defined
in
the
code.
So
generally
it's
it's
the
big
ones.
You
know,
fourth
of
july
at
thanksgiving
that
sort
of
thing,
but
there
is
a
list.
G
All
right,
thank
you
so
quick
question
on
one
comment
and
then
a
question.
The
comment
is,
I
I
get
targeting
this
to
make
sure
it's
something
we
can
get
through
quickly.
I
guess
my
concern
is:
what
is
that
experience
going
to
be
for
people
trying
to
host
events?
I
mean,
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
be
intuitive.
Let's
say
that,
oh
I
can.
G
I
can
have
sound
amplification
in
a
parking
lot,
let's
say
of
a
private
business,
but
not
in
a
park,
and
so
I
wonder
if
I
I
think
it
would
be
valuable
to
look
at
this
from
an
event.
G
Perspective
and
figure
out
how
to
address
this
in
a
way,
that's
a
bit
more
seamless
for
the
organizers,
and
I
guess
my
question
in
terms
of
the
locations,
what
what
would
be
the
locations
does
this
cover?
If
not
parks,
does
this
cover
streets
or
is
it
just
private
business
locations.
S
Or
so
I
I
do
want
to
clarify
first,
that
there
is
a
path
to
use
sound
amplification
in
the
parks.
It
just
goes
through
a
separate
review
process
with
some
separate
code
standards,
so
this
would
kind
of
get
at
other
other
cases,
but
yes,
it
would
be.
This
would
be
available
on
private
property.
R
So
the
public
I'll
just
field
that
one
real
quickly
the
special
event
permits
are
those
those
events
they're
over
500
people,
so
they're,
the
really
big
ones
where
we're,
including
the
right-of-way
and
noise
impacts
potential
safety
police,
may
be
involved.
That
sort
of
thing
parks
does
have
a
separate
process
for
smaller
events
that
are
in
the
parks,
say
a
community
group
that
wants
to
have
an
event
in
the
park.
They
have
their
own
process
to
allow
noise
and
also
the
use
of
the
park.
G
Got
it
so
if
I,
if
somebody
so,
if
it's
smaller
than
five
people
and
I'm
sorry
smaller
than
500,
maybe
it's
like
not
enough,
for
maybe
it's
a
picnic
right
like
or
a
volleyball
event,
which
a
lot
of
people
play
volleyball
on
the
park
at
the
park.
If
they
want
to
amplify
sound,
what's
there
because
they
don't
have
to
get
a
permit
to
play
volleyball.
R
G
H
H
H
It
can
be
confusing
about
if
this,
then
that
so
as
part
of
this
work,
my
hope
is
that
we'll
also
have
some
faqs
and
maybe
some
some-
you
know
a
flow
diagram,
so
people
really
understand
what's
going
on,
but
I
am
wondering
about
the
narrow
focus
of
just
these
two
items
and
the
what
was
the
the
name
of
it:
the
the
way
that
the
noise
was
developed
as
the
main
criteria.
H
So
we
want
this
in
place,
but
I'm
also
wondering
if
we
are
too
narrow
in
our
focus
and
that
if
we
initiate
this,
which
I
support
initiating,
that
we
don't
create
a
little
more
latitude
for
you
to
work
on
this
and
and
come
back
with
something
that,
as
you
look
at
this,
if
there's
a
natural
improvement
area
that
you
would
bring
that
back
to
us
and
not
just
say,
oh,
it
doesn't
fall
in
these
two
things.
So
it's
out
of
our
it's
out
of
our
discussion.
So
can
you
help
me
with
that
part.
R
R
H
R
Yeah
I
appreciate
that
I
think
that
what
we
could
do
is
certainly
at
the
study
session
we
could
bring
back
if
there
were
other
items
that
we
thought
were
correla
corollary,
and
would
you
know
work
with
this?
Certainly
we
would
be
happy
to
do
that.
A
K
Mayor,
I'm
gonna
refer
that
question
to
to
mike
brennan
deputy
city
manager.
D
You
don't
mind.
Thank
you,
ms
miyake,
so
I
think
the
the
idea
with
this
targeted
amendment
was
to
be
kind
of
strategic
and
and
quick
in
accomplishing
the
goal.
That
kind
of
advances
the
economic
development
interest
here,
and
that
is
allowing
for
these
small
community
events
to
occur
without
the
barriers
that
currently
exist
in
the
noise
control
code.
Unlike
anything,
we
can
always
scale
up,
but
when
we
start
scaling
up
and
adding
additional.
D
So
as
liz
was
mentioning,
what
we'd
like
to
do
is
try
to
keep
this
on
point
with
the
outcome
that
we're
trying
to
get,
and
that
is
removing
the
barriers
from
these
community
events,
recognizing
that
there
are
other
parts
of
the
noise
control
code
that
the
council
and
the
community
may
want
staff
to
take
a
look
at
and
we
can
identify
those
for
future
kind
of
work
plan
discussions.
But
I
would
be
careful.
D
I
would
recommend
at
this
point
that
we
try
to
keep
the
scope,
narrow
and
accomplishable
in
the
near
term
with
the
limited
resources
that
we
really
got
available
to
bring
to
this
kind
of
work
right
now.
So
but
again,
the
council
can
provide
staff
any
direction
that
you
would
like
to
provide
and
we
will
pursue
that.
But
that
was
the
that
was
the
goal
of
tonight's
or
this
particular
recommended
code.
Amendment.
C
Thank
you.
Madame
I'd
like
to
follow
up
on
what
let's
talk
about
just
now,
I
I
support
the
intent
of
removing
the
barrier.
You
know
as
the
economic
development
group
you
know,
staff
proposed,
so
it
needs
to
be
focused,
except
when
you,
what
you
do
you're
eliminating
the
other
barriers
for
all
the
everything
else.
It
creates
a
confusion
which
I'm
concerned
with
and
in
reality
I
am
because
it
may
also
remove
the
barrier
for
neighborhoods.
C
C
You
know
there's
some
neighbor
somebody
in
a
in
a
swimming
club.
You
know
next
door
and
they
were
having
loud
music
somebody.
C
C
You
know
the
specific
interest
of
encouraging
you
know
legitimate
public
event,
and
you
know
I
agree
without
spilling
out
and
you
know
allowing
undesirable
neighborhood
impact
to
people
who
want
to
have
a
restful
weekend
and
sleep
at
night.
I
mean
that's
important,
you
know
so.
A
D
Well,
so
certainly
this
will
allow
for
more
expansive
use
of
amplified
sound
in
neighborhoods.
So
right
now
it
is
very
constrained.
You
can't
have
amplified
sound
on
sundays.
You
can't
have
amplified
sound
after
5
pm
that
most
of
the
events
that
are
happening
in
the
neighborhoods
are
generally
happening
on
weekends,
saturdays
and
sundays,
and
maybe
a
little
bit
later
in
the
evening
now.
The
code
amendment
will
still
have
constraints
and
that's
what
the
staff
will
develop
and
come
back
with
recommendations
for
council
consideration
and
it
is
about
balance.
D
It
is
about
what
councilmember
lee
is
talking
about.
We
want
to
let
people
enjoy
peace
and
quiet
on
their
property.
Well,
at
the
same
time,
we
want
to
allow
and
encourage
you
know
active
engaged
communities
and
and
community
events
that
bring
people
together.
So
it
is,
it
is
always
a
balance
and
those
are
the
recommendations
we
would
bring
back
for
council
consideration.
C
C
If
it's
not
clear,
you
know
you
may
allow
a
neighborhood
party
go
wild,
you
know,
and
we
don't
want
that.
Okay,
and
so
you
want
to
be
specific.
What
are
we
proposing?
What
are
we
approving?
What
are
we
protecting?
What
are
we
preserving?
You
know,
so
I'm
confused.
I
don't
know
that
you
know,
and
I
would
like
to
have
that
clearly
before
I
can
say
yeah.
I
approve
a
change
in
code.
No,
I
don't
know
what
I'm
approving
very
clearly,
specifically
with
regard
to
the
people,
who
are
very
very.
C
We
developed
the
code
for
a
reason
many
years
ago,
because
they
are,
you
know,
is
important
to
them.
They
they
want
to
have
whatever
they
require
requested
in
the
code.
Now
I
agree
because
of
economic
development
change
and
we
need
to
be
flexible
and
I
just
want
to
be
sure
it's
clear.
Okay,
it
cannot
be
just
strikeout
one
because
of
some
changes
and
then
have
unintended
consequence
on
the
other
one,
because
that's
when
we're
going
to
get
in
trouble.
So
I'd
like
to
hear
that
clearly,
then
I
can,
you
know,
make
my
decision.
A
So,
just
to
clarify
you
know
we
are
giving
direction
for
them
to
bring
this
back
for
a
discussion.
So
it's
helpful
to
give
staff
information
on
what
they
what
they,
what
you
want
to
hear
more
about
so.
C
C
A
E
Turned
it
off
again,
I
I
appreciate
the
comments
that
were
just
made,
but
I
mean
that's
what
we
do
in
anything
we
do.
I
hope
we
don't
get
into
a
pattern
of
well.
You
know
you
say
you're
going
to
bring
a
thing
back.
I
want
to
know
about
other
things
and
how
complicated
be
and
tell
me,
and
all
this
stuff
it
just
it
gets
it
messed
up
in
terms
of
focus
on
this,
and
I
assume
that
staff
will
come
back
with
our
analysis
of
this
and
we're
not
just
going
to
do
something.
E
E
Me
I'm
just
talking
in
general
from
other
conversations
and
I
I
have
a
right
to
have
my
commentary,
so
I
think
all
I'm
saying
is:
I'm
just
concerned
that
we're
not
gonna
get
off
on
get
bogged
down
in
things
that
are
not
really.
A
A
Hold
on
hold
on
council
members,
I
would
just
like
to
hear
council
member
stoke's
opinion
on
his
own
comment
of
what
he'd
like
to
hear
from
staff.
Are
you
comfortable
with
what's
being
proposed
here,
or
would
you
like.
E
What
I
would
like
to
see
is,
I
think,
you've
set
forth
in
a
very
straightforward
way.
The
thing
that
the
couple
of
things
you're
going
to
look
at
and
they're,
not
part
of
anything
else.
I
want
to
understand
that
we're
not
having
a
we're
you're,
not
proposing
an
overall
look
at
all
these
pieces
and
how
something
might
drop
off
or
not
so
you're.
Looking
on
two
particular
focused
things,
and
I
think
that's
great.
I
look
forward
to
coming
back
and
we'll
have
those
discussions.
E
I
do
think
that
councilmember
zahn
has
a
good
point
and
it's
that
balance.
I
suspect
that
we're
going
to
find
out
that
we'll
have
some
more
interest
in
finding
out
and
changing,
maybe
some
of
the
code,
and
you
know
so
then
the
question
is
we
do
these
two
and
how
could
we
make
these
other
effects
so
we'll
do
those
in,
but
I
do
I
do
hope
we
will
keep
an
open
mind
in
terms
of
now
that
we're
this
issue
has
come
up.
E
I
suspect
people
are
going
to
talk
more
about
the
pros
and
cons
of
changing
the
codes
and,
I
hope,
you'll
you
know
be
kind
of
prepared
for
that,
but
I
I
agree,
bring
forth
these
two.
Let's
talk
about
that
and
then
have
a
conversation
as
it
may
come
up
on.
What
else
is
changing,
because
the
city
is
changing?
It's
bigger
neighborhoods
are
different
everything
else.
So
I
applaud
you
for
looking
at
this
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
a
focused
conversation
on
those
two
pieces
and
then
a
broader
conversation
on.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
comment
and
we'll
go
back
around
starting
with
deputy
mayor
and
then
councilmember
barksdale,
your
turn.
So
yes,
I'd
like
to
have
you
come
back
staff
and
bring
this
back
with
some
more
information
on
it.
I'm
assuming
I
mean
you've,
talked
about
the
robust
community
outreach
and
getting
comments
from
them,
so
I'll
be
very
interested
to
see
what
the
feedback
is
from
the
community.
A
A
How
do
we
look
at
other
things
that
are
causing
a
lot
of
noise
in
our
neighborhood
that
maybe
we
could
reduce
at
the
same
time
so
leaf
blowers
and
modified
mufflers?
And
things
like
that?
So
I
know
that
that's
not
what
you're
talking
about
tonight,
but
just
in
my
mind,
of
keeping
things
in
the
balance,
I
hope
at
the
retreat.
I'm
gonna
I'll
be
bringing
that
up
and
I
hope
we
can
have
a
discussion
as
to
whether
the
council
wants
to
make
that
part
of
our
work
plan
next
year.
A
So
I'm
going
to
go
so
I
do.
I
will
be
supporting
option
one
on
on
here
but
deputy
mayor.
Do
you
have
any
more
comments
or
questions.
G
All
right,
thank
you.
I
do
support
this.
I
you
know
I
just
want
to
say
you
know,
I
think,
one
of
the
biggest
challenges
and
as
y'all
know,
I'm
from
the
east
coast
and
the
south
specifically,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
barbecues
get-togethers
and
you
know
it's
it's
something
that
creates
a
an
experience
that
if
we
could
maybe
put
you
know,
sort
of
the
isolated
perspective
aside
just
for
a
bit.
G
I
think
I
think,
there's
value
in
making
sure
that
people
are
able
to
get
together
without
having
to
worry
about
noise
during
during
reasonable
hours,
and
so
I
mean
obviously
that
means
like
not
at
11
or
12
o'clock
at
night.
But
you
know
I
I'm
looking
forward
to
staff
bringing
back.
G
You
know
what
this
would
look
like
and
maybe
even
I
appreciated
the
public
comment
about
decibels
and
just
try
to
show
what
this
is.
What
it
looks
like
compared
to
everyday
noises.
I
get
production
in
other
areas,
but
just
to
paint
a
picture
because
I
think
it's,
I
don't
think
it's
a
backyard
gone
wild
situation
and
it
actually
is.
It
just
creates
opportunity
for
people
to
get
together
and
have
fun
and
and
get
to
know
each
other,
and
I
I
think
it's
important
in
any
community
that
we
have
the
flexibility
to
do
that.
A
H
I
didn't
realize
it
was
an
issue.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
this
to
our
attention.
C
A
quick
one
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that
I
support
this
as
described
by
the
staff,
and
I
just
want
to
be
sure
you
know
this
is
not
a
time
to
discussion,
yet
we're
going
to
discuss
it
when
it's
fall
back,
but
since
it's
brought
up,
I
just
want
to
be.
We
cannot
control
the
output
when
we
have
output,
that's
not
desirable.
C
People
are
going
to
be
upping
arms,
so
the
best
we
can
do
is
hope
for
the
do
the
best
and
hope
for
the
best.
Okay,
we
don't
know
where
they
will
be,
so
we
heard
that
we
need
to
be
sure
we
have
to
be
considerable.
We
have
to
be
respected,
respect
other
people's
other
people,
whether
it
be
one
person
or
not.
It's
important.
So
that's
why
the
the
responsibility
rests
with
the
staff.
I
just
feel
that
the
staff
in
need
of
some
certainty,
if
you
can
handle
it
and
take
care
of
the
public.
C
A
Okay
and
councilmember
stokes
did
you
have
any
more
comments
or
questions?
Okay?
Well,
is
there
a
motion
to
staff?
Did
you
get
the
information
that
you
need
from
the
discussion.
R
Yes,
ma'am.
I
think
we
had
some
good
direction
to
move
forward
and
to
look
a
little
bit
more
at
how
it
is
how
is
tailored
time,
wise
and
so
on.
If
there
are
any
specifics
on
that,
and
also
some
more
information
around
output
versus
input,
and
could
we
provide
some
context
around
what
what
is
the
being
permitted
potentially
with
this
code,
amendment.
A
Okay
sounds
great:
is
there
a
motion
deputy
mayor?
Yes,.
I
A
K
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
This
is
the
fourth
item
on
your
study
session
agenda
this
evening,
and
it
is
the
comprehensive
planned
periodic
update
initiation
in
front
of
you
is
a
request
to
initiate
the
update
of
the
comp
plan
just
by
way
background.
The
state's
growth
management
act,
directs
counties
and
cities
to
periodically
update
their
comprehensive
plans.
They
always
update,
along
with
the
other
counties
and
cities
in
the
puget.
Sound
arena
is
due
by
june
of
2024.
K
With
that
there
are
pieces
here.
I
know
that
we're
going
to
describe
to
you
with
respect
to
the
process
as
well
as
outreach
joining
us
this
evening
is
emile
king
assistant,
director
for
planning
and
carl
johnson,
the
planning
manager
for
community
development
all
from
the
community
development
department,
and
I'm
not
sure
if
there
are
others
on
the
team,
but
with
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
emile
king
to
begin.
The
presentation.
T
Thank
you
for
the
introduction
city
manager
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
members
of
council
staff
from
the
community
development
department
are
here
tonight
to
launch
the
periodic
update
to
the
city's
comprehensive
plan.
This
is
a
significant
cross-departmental
effort
that
will
engage
the
community
through
a
robust
engagement
strategy.
T
T
The
comprehensive
planned
document,
what
it
says
and
how
it's
formed
from
a
process
standpoint
are
very
important
to
the
city
as
a
whole.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
bring
the
community
together.
It's
an
opportunity
to
to
reflect
on
both
successes
and
challenges
in
the
city
and
to
put
together
a
well
thought
plan
for
the
future.
T
These
policy
statements
and
vision
drive
our
quality
of
life,
how
we
meet
our
equity
outcomes,
our
economic
development
initiatives,
how
we
seek
a
better
jobs,
housing
balance
and
provide
housing
opportunities
for
all
our
access
to
parts
and
open
space.
How
we
get
around
on
a
day-to-day
basis
and
how
we
grow
as
a
sustainable
city.
T
Staff
are
seeking
direction
tonight
from
council
to
formally
launch
our
periodic
update
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
Significant
pre-launch
readiness,
work
and
city
participation
at
the
staff
and
elected
official
elected
official
level
in
regional
planning
efforts
has
brought
us
to
this
point
next
slide.
Please.
T
U
So
as
emil
indicated,
the
comp
plan
is,
of
course,
tied
to
state
requirements
also
required
under
the
growth
management
act,
which
we
plan
under
the
comp
plan,
of
course,
captures
the
vision
for
how
we
want
to
grow
and
for
the
future
of
bellevue.
It
also
sets
policy
that
directs
city
actions
and
decisions
and,
of
course,
implementation
of
capital
investments.
U
U
A
little
bit
on
what
our
current
plan
incorporates
it's
it's
set
up
to
where
it's
encompassed
into
two
different
volumes:
volume,
one
of
course,
and
starts
off
with
a
vision
for
the
city.
It
also
includes
a
fair
amount
of
various
narratives,
and
the
comprehensive
plan,
of
course,
is
separated
into
various
chapters
or
elements,
as
we
call
them.
Each
element
has
a
series
of
goals
and
implementation
policies
and,
in
addition,
volume
one
of
the
comprehensive
plan
also
has
an
overall
map
of
land
use
designations
for
the
city
of
land
use
classifications
for
the
city
volume.
U
U
So
we
talked
about
some
of
the
emphasis
and
the
and
the
triggers
from
from
the
regional
requirements,
so
that
is,
of
course,
a
driver
for
this
update.
State
law
and
gma
requires
that
we
update
all
jurisdictions
that
are
planning
under
psrc.
The
four
county
planning
region
update
the
comprehensive
plans
every
eight
years.
U
This
is
actually
a
nine
year
cycle.
The
last
time
we
went
through
the
update
was
2015
and
several
council
members
have
been
involved
in
vision,
2050
development
with
the
multi-county
planning
policies,
so
that
certainly
informs
and
provides
some
aspect
of
scope
for
our
update,
as
well
as
the
king
county,
county-wide
planning
policies
and
growth
targets,
which
we
came
before
you
and
provided
you
with
a
briefing
on
a
few
weeks
ago.
U
A
lot
has
changed
within
the
city
since
that
time,
and
so
this
is
a
really
good
opportunity
to
look
at
the
comp
plan
and
ensure
that
it
aligns
with
the
community's
vision,
what's
happening
currently
as
well
as
aligning
with
updated
council
vision
and
priorities
which
have
been
recently
updated.
A
lot
more
recently
than
the
last
major
update,
so
some
of
the
aspects
that
we
that
we
intend
that
we
assume
will
be
part
of
this
based
on
council's
updated
vision,
includes
housing,
affordability,
climate
resilience
and
sustainability
and,
of
course,
economic
innovation.
U
Not
going
to
go
into
a
whole
lot
of
detail
on
growth
targets,
since
we
talked
extensively
about
that
a
few
weeks
ago,
but
essentially
that
is
going
to
be
a
major
component
of
our
comprehensive
plan.
Update
is
planning
for
the
for
the
newly
established
drug
targets
for
bellevue,
and
that
will
cover
a
20-year
horizon.
U
A
little
bit
of
a
recap
on
growth
targets.
As
I
said,
this
is
going
to
be
a
significant
component
of
our
update,
along
with
other
scoping
pieces,
which
I'll
be
talking
about
shortly.
Bellevue
plays
a
very
significant
role
in
the
region.
U
U
With
this
update
and
that's
reflective
of
our
proposed
and
adopted
now
adopted
growth
targets,
we
are
aiming
to
achieve
a
two-to-one
jobs,
housing
balance,
so
that
is
70
000
jobs
and
35
000
housing
units.
As
you
can
see
from
this
table,
we
we
do
not
have
capacity
for
35,
000
housing
units
so
and
that's
based
on
current
zoning.
U
Also.
Just
to
note
it
does
not
include
the
new
zoning
that
that
went
into
effect
with
east
main.
So
that's
just
something
to
keep
in
mind
as
part
of
this
process.
We
intend
to
ensure
that
we're
aligning
with
other
other
initiatives,
and
so
this
will
be
a
good
opportunity
to
ensure
that
all
our
planning
efforts
are
really
synced
up.
U
A
little
bit
on
what
our
scoping
pieces
are,
the
update
really
focuses
on
three
major
areas.
The
first
is
growing
housing
to
ensure
that
it's
meeting
the
needs
of
all
types
of
households
stages
of
life.
The
second
area
is
sustainability
and
climate
resilience
and
the
third
is
equity
and
ensuring
that
we
make
bellevue
a
more
affordable
city.
U
As
we
talked
about
just
recently
with
with
the
growth
targets,
we
are
planning
for
a
large
increase
in
housing
units
in
order
to
achieve
that
two
to
one
jobs,
housing
balance,
the
update
process,
we'll
look
at
what
kind
of
housing
and
what
form
this
takes
and
where
that's
going
to
be
located.
U
Since
we
know
we
need
a
variety
of
housing
types.
This
is
a
mandate
from
the
cpps
at
affordability,
levels
and
sizes
will
need
to
you
really
utilize,
a
multi-prong
approach,
and
this
really
ties
into
our
community
engagement
strategy,
so
we'll
need
to
address
how
we're
going
to
incorporate
additional
density
within
our
growth,
centers
and
also
potentially
missing
middle
that
could
be
introduced
in
different
areas
of
the
city.
U
The
update
could
also
include
evaluating
our
existing
system
for
our
land
use,
map
designations
and
looking
at
opportunities
to
address
and
maybe
changing
those
land
use
designations
into
broader
categories,
which
would
make
for
fewer
required
cpas
in
a
long-term
process.
U
The
overall
process,
we
anticipate
covering
a
two-year
timeline,
the
the
deadline
with
the
stages
that
we
get
this
adopted
by
june
of
2024.,
while
that
seems
like
a
fairly
long
timeline.
There's
a
lot
to
get
accomplished
within
that
two-year
time
frame,
something
that's
unique.
With
this
update.
It
includes
an
environmental
impact
statement,
and
so
that's
something
that
we
would
be.
We
would
be
incorporating
into
the
process
something
that
we
have
not
undertaken
with
the
last
last
couple
updates.
U
So
the
first
phase
is
really
going
to
focus
on
looking
at
our
existing
vision
within
the
city,
ensuring
that
it
aligns
with
the
council
vision
and
priorities
following
that
we'll
be
developing
land
use
alternatives
as
part
of
the
eis
process.
U
Those
will
feed
into
a
draft
eis
and
then
a
second
portion
of
that
is
really
detailed
analysis
on
issues
that
will
really
inform
a
policy
development
and
then
the
next
stage
is,
of
course,
going
through
the
process
where
we're
looking
at
our
policies
and
coming
up
with
policy
language
and
then
the
last
phase
is
defining
those
policies
bringing
them
forward
through
the
legislative
process.
U
U
U
We're
also
going
to
be
sending
out
a
direct
mail
survey
to
all
households,
we're
using
our
with
our
equitable
approach
to
community
engagement,
similar
to
the
great
neighborhoods
process.
We
found
a
fair
amount
of
success
with
cultural
outreach
assistance,
so
we're
going
to
be
employing
that
strategy
as
well
and,
of
course,
throughout
the
process,
the
various
boards
and
commissions
are
going
to
be
part
integral
part
of
the
process
providing
us
with
feedback.
The
planning
commission,
of
course,
takes
the
lead
in
providing
policy
recommendations
to
the
council,
following
that.
U
We
intend,
later
on
this
year,
we'll
be
developing
the
land,
use
alternatives
and
really
talking
to
the
community
about
that
and
then
early
next
year
or
early
2023
we'll
be
really
we'll.
Have
a
draft
eis
potentially
released
really
looking
at
our
various
growth
alternatives
and
then
we'll
start.
The
policy
development
mid
2023.
U
So,
a
little
bit
on
our
engagement
approach,
what
we
intend
to
do
is
use
a
variety
of
tools,
a
public
engagement
survey.
As
I
said,
we're
using
strategy
teams
with
different
focus
areas.
One
will
be
focused
on
equity.
The
other
will
be
focused
on
sustainability,
the
other
another
one
on
place
making
and
then
potentially
afford
a
folk
on
mobility
and
land
use.
U
We
intend
that
engagement
can
occur
from
anyone
that
chooses
to
participate.
Outreach
will
be
used
to
build
awareness
of
the
planning
process.
We've
already
started
that,
with
some
light
touches.
We
did
a
presentation
with
the
neighborhood
leadership
gathering
and
got
a
fair
amount
of
attendance,
so
really
started
to
get
the
word
out.
U
U
Apologize
like
and
backwards
so
a
little
bit
on
the
various
outreach
activities.
As
I
said,
we
intend
to
send
out
a
mailed
questionnaire
fairly
soon
after
our
official
launch.
We
already
have
our
engaging
bellevue
website
website
up,
and
this
will
be
an
opportunity
for
the
public
to
ask
questions
we're
already
providing
input
there
right
now,
we're
still
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
transition
from
virtual
to
in-person
in-person
meetings
and
events,
given
the
the
latest
orders
from
the
governor.
B
I
A
Okay,
yeah,
I
think
that's
what
happened.
That's
what
happened
to
councilmember
lee
as
well,
and
I'm
sure
council
members
on
so
you
may
continue
with
roll
call
if
you
want,
but
let's
see
if
we
can
get
council
members
on
and
council
member
lee
back
on
the
meeting.
B
Yeah,
so
councilman
really
is
not
here.
Councilmember
robertson
is
saying:
councilmember
stokes
are
you
here.
K
H
A
U
A
Well,
I
think
this
is
the
one
that
that
everybody
lost,
so
if
you
could
re
start
over
on
this
slide,
routine
that'd
be
great,
perfect.
U
So
we
wanted
to
just
touch
on
the
various
ways
we're
going
to
be
engaging
with
the
community.
Once
council
provides
us
with
direction
to
launch
the
effort
we
are,
we
are
intending
to
have
a
mailed
questionnaire.
That's
going
to
be
sent
out
to
all
households.
U
Our
engaging
bellevue
website
has
been,
has
been
up
and
is
live.
It
provides
an
opportunity
for
the
public
to
ask
questions
and
provides
us
with
input.
U
We
intend
to
have
a
statistically
valid
survey
as
part
of
the
process
and,
as
I
said,
we're
going
to
be
transitioning
between
in-person
and
virtual
events.
Now,
with
the
latest
information
on
being
able
to
you
know,
with
the
mask
mandate
being
being
removed,
this
greater
opportunity
for
us
to
return
to
in-person
events.
U
And
then
our
approach
really
is
utilizing
an
equity
lens
on
community
engagement
and
so
some
of
the
techniques
we're
using
using
our
cultural
outreach
ambassadors,
which
we
used
through
the
great
neighborhoods
process,
ensuring
that
we
have
material
translated
into
various
languages
and
really
having
our
cultural
outreach
ambassadors
working
with
our
various
various
diverse
groups.
To
ensure
that
you
know
they're
getting
the
information
and
hopefully
getting
them
more
involved
in
our
overall
engagement
approach
over
the
next
two
years.
U
So
next
steps
we're
here
this
evening,
of
course,
to
obtain
council
direction
to
launch
the
periodic
update
process,
we'll
be
working
with
the
with
the
community
over
the
next
several
months
on.
U
Looking
at
our
vision,
the
vision
within
the
comp
plan
ensuring
that
it
aligns
with
the
council,
vision
and
priorities,
follow
we'll
also
be
do
we'll
also
be
doing
briefings
with
the
various
boards
and
commissions
and
really
utilizing
that
feedback
and,
as
I
said,
various
outreach
efforts
with
the
community
at
large,
as
well
as
our
strategy
teams.
U
So
we're
going
to
be
really
a
multi-pronged
approach
to
engagement,
so
we
intend
to
come
back
to
you
in
the
summer
and
provide
you
with
an
update
the
feedback
that
we've
heard
as
well
as
draft
vision
and
our
approaches
to
land
use
alternatives
as
well,
so
with
that
we're
requesting
direction
to
initiate
work
on
the
comprehensive
planned
periodic
update
and
that
I'll
turn
things
back
to
the
mayor.
U
A
You
very
much
and
thank
you
everybody
for
getting
back
on
so
quickly
after
you
got
bumped
off
okay,
so
I
would
actually
like
to
start
with
a
motion
so
that
we
can
stay
on
track
here.
So
deputy
numero.
Could
you
please
make
a
motion.
I
Certainly
mayor,
I
can
do
that.
I
moved
to
direct
staff
to
initiate
work
on
the
comprehensive
plan
periodic
update.
Second.
A
G
All
right,
thank
you,
man,
just
a
few
thanks
for
the
presentation
looking
forward
to
this
update,
I
just
a
few
things
here
bear
with
me
for
a
second.
I
think
it
would
be
similar
to
my
comment
during
the
cultural
and
economic
development
update
looking
to
engage
people
who
are
underserved
in
bellevue.
So,
however,
we
could
best
do
that.
G
I
guess
just
the
underlying
theme
here
is:
if
we
just
look
at
the
people
who
are
in
bellevue
today,
we're
not
able
to
really
account
for
people
who
are
not
able
to
live
in
bellevue
today,
and
so
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
doing
that
in
general
in
the
survey
just
want
to
make
sure
that
as
we,
I,
I
notice
that
you
said
statistically
valid.
G
I
I'm
gonna.
Keep
this
brief.
The
outreach
assistants-
I
didn't
see
that
we
have
any
for
the
black
and
indigenous
community
and
that's
also
a
hard.
I
don't
think
I
think
historically,
we've
had
difficulty
getting
input
from
black
and
indigenous
community,
so
it'd
be
great
if
we
could
have
outreach
assistance
there
as
well
and
I'll
leave
it
there
for
now.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor,
followed
by
council
member
stokes.
I
Thank
you
mayor,
a
great
presentation.
I
really
appreciate
that
in
the
mail
great
job,
I
really
like
the
approach
and
the
the
process
and
the
overall
strategy
on
this.
I
think
you
laid
it
out
really
well
and
very
thoughtful,
so
I'm
looking
going
looking
forward
to
going
through
this
two-year
process
with
you
and
everything
that
I
might
bring
forward.
I
I
think
I
just
want
to
really
mention
two
different
things:
one
on
ebcc,
I
I
don't
think
you
had
that
in
the
presentation
there
thara,
but
well,
what's
the
role
that
the
ebcc
will
play
in
this
process.
Can
you
talk
to
that
just
briefly
and
then
my
second
question:
well,
it's
more
of
a
more
of
a
request
and
that's
with
engagement.
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
and-
and
I
really
appreciate
you
calling
out
those
specific
examples
in
terms
of
the
outreach
and
the
engagement,
but
I
also
want
to
make
this
as
easy
as
possible
for
our
residents
as
well
to
to
weigh
in
so
I'm
concerned
that
they're
not
going
to
be
looking
for
engaging
bellevue.com,
they're
going
to
go
to
the
city
website
and
right
now,
there's
no
link
and
I'm
not
saying
there
should
be
right
now,
but
I
would
love
to
see
something
just
front
and
center,
so
people
know
exactly
where
to
go
if
they
want
to
weigh
in
or
it
can
be
under
hot
topics.
I
I
just
want
to
make
it
super
easy
for
them
to
find
where
they
go
if
they
want
to
weigh
in
on
the
comprehensive
plan
update,
I
think
it
also
would
be
great
if
we
could
put
something
on
the
my
bellevue
app
as
well
linking
them
to
engagingbellevue.com
or
another
page
that
you
deem
more
appropriate,
but
I
just
want
to
mention
kind
of
that
thought
process.
I
I
just
want
to
make
it
as
easy
as
possible
for
people
to
to
weigh
in,
but
I
really
appreciate
the
multi-pronged
approach
with
mail
and
digital
the
extensive
outreach
with
the
with
the
with
the
different
forums,
both
hopefully
both
in-person
and
digital,
that's
going
to
be
great
and
then
different
languages
and
different
underrepresented
groups
that
you're
going
to
be
communicating
with
as
well
so
really
really
great
job.
I
just
want
us
to
ultimately
try
and
go
that
extra
step
and
trying
to
solicit
as
much
input
as
possible.
U
Certainly,
thank
you
deputy
mayor.
I
apologize.
I
think
that
was
a
oversight
for
not
mentioning
that
ebcc
would
be
involved
throughout
the
process,
so
we'll
be
doing
similar
to
the
boards
and
commissions
we'll
be
doing
a
briefing
with
the
ebcc.
They
are,
of
course
you
know,
have
the
author
authority,
since
it's
a
comprehensive
plan,
update
and
amendment
they'll,
be
you
know
they,
they
have
legal
standing
and
legal
authority,
so
we'll
be
doing
we'll
have
a
courtesy,
public
hearing.
U
That's
our
typical
process,
of
course,
but
we'll
be
doing
briefings
with
them
as
well
throughout
the
throughout
the
process.
Then,
of
course,
once
council
provides
a
provides
direction
or
action
on
on
the
comprehensive
plan
update
in
2024.
We
will
of
course
be
going
to
them
for
approval
great.
Thank
you.
E
I
really
appreciate
and
congratulate
you
on
this
very
thorough
process
and
laying
all
this
out
it's
a
big
big
job
going
on.
E
I
think
you've
made
it
very
transparent
and
clear
and
set
up
in
a
very
good
way,
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
going
forward
on
this
and
appreciate
and
and
the
comments
made
by
the
deputy
mayor,
I
think
he's
outlined
a
lot
of
the
good
issues
that
you
can
touch
on
and
I
certainly
agree
with
councilman
barksdale's
request
and
I
think
the
deputy
mayor
incorporated
that.
So
I
think
we're
set
very
well
for
getting
this
serving
all
both
the
citizens
off
bellevue
now
and
citizens
of
the
future.
A
A
Council
members
on
we're
having
some
connectivity
issues
with
you.
Unfortunately
charmaine,
could
you
reach
out
to
council
members
on
and
see
if
we
can
help
her
I'm
here?
Can
you
not
hear
me
it's
really
like
you're
underwater.
B
I
can
give
certainly
give
council
members
on
a
phone
call.
I
will
do
that
now.
C
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
want
to
compliment
the
staff
laying
out
the
very
good
process
for
this
phase.
One
vision
update
as
we
will
know.
I
think
I
got
a
briefing
that
we
need
to
update
this
every
eight
years.
So
it's
time
to
do
it,
and
so
my
question
is
you
know
you
know
what
is
console's
role.
It
spelled
out
all
the
things
that
you
know
we
want
to
do
and
it
was
the
time
frame.
C
I
I
so
just
first
of
all,
besides
you
brief
us
besides,
we
want
to
prove
it.
What
what
specifically
is
a
very
critical
role
we
have-
and
I
just
want
to
you
know
see
if
this
is
what
I
I
think
would
be.
Can
you
quickly
say.
T
Sure
I
can
go
over
it
yeah
because
of
everything
I
can
go
over,
that
I
think
this
tonight
is
an
important
night
to
do
the
formal
launch
so
having
a
common
understanding
of
the
body
of
work
that
we're
doing
over
the
next
two
years
is
important.
T
When
we
come
back
to
you
in
the
june
july
time
period
to
brief
you
on
the
updated
vision
and
the
growth
strategies
that
would
drive
us
over
the
next
20
years,
that's
a
critical
meeting
as
well
and
ultimately
the
city
council
is
the
decision
maker
on
this
whole
plan
update
so
come.
You
know
early
to
mid
part
of
2024,
it's
the
council's
authority
to
actually
adopt
the
updated
plan
for
the
city.
So
council
has
a
critical
role
at
a
number
of
touch
points
during
this
next
two
and
a
half
years.
C
Yes,
I
think
I
agree.
We
have
a
definite
role
to
formally
approve
it
right
or
not,
so
it
is.
However,
I
see
that
we
have
another
role.
Is
we
provide
the
foundation
for
division
by
division
has
to
come
up
some
somewhere
and
it
was
done
eight
years
ago
right
and
we
have
been
updating
it
for
a
long
right.
C
Wanting
that
good
that
we
cheat.
So
I
would
really
like
to
see,
and
but
we,
but
it's
it's
just
bits
and
pieces
now
has
been
built
up.
Many
things
has
changed
right
and
now
we're
ready
to
go
to
the
public.
So
I
would
like
to
see
what
is
you
know
the
staff
remind
us
and
give
us-
and
I
want
to
see
that
because
this
is
what
we're
going
to
give
to
the
public
to
begin
affirming
the
vision
right.
C
So
I
would
like
to
see
what
is
the
vision
see
if
the
council
has
a
final
check-in
say:
yes,
absolutely
all
some
of
us
agree
or
how
we
can
come
to
agreement.
You
know,
maybe
we
may
not
have
since
remember
some
of
them.
Maybe
we've
added
some.
Maybe
we
have
deleted
some,
so
I
just
like
to
have
a
checking
and
again
you
did
a
good
job
brief.
You
know
the
council
members
I
was
included,
and
so
I
I
like
to
do
that.
Okay,
but
we
have
a
vision.
C
I
know
kind
of
some
vision,
but
I
you
asked
me
today,
I
can't
say
wow
vision,
one
to
ten.
No
way
I
can
give
you
you
know.
If
I,
if
I
give
you
five,
I
think
I'll
pass
I
probably
will
pass,
but
so
I
like
to
do
that
and
then
you
gave
only
two
months
to
a
firm
division.
C
You
specify
march
april,
and
that
seems
to
be
it's
a
very
important
process.
I
really
appreciate
every
council
member,
including
staff.
We
make
engagements
so
important,
very
important
because
we
need
to
have
the
commit
community
know
the
public,
what
our
vision
is
and
we
need
to
get
them
on
board
or
even
not
on
board.
We
need
to
let
them
know
what
it
is
right,
so
they
have
a
say
about
it
and
they
can
get
on
board.
C
You
know
if
they
need
if
they
have
to
be
so
I
don't
know
whether
two
months
is
adequate
because
we
haven't
started.
I
have
a
look
at
the
vision
as
a
whole.
I
I
like
to
do
that
so
I'd
like
to
initiate,
if
you
you
know,
that's
one
piece,
and
so
once
we've
done
that
and
then
we
will
be
together
with
you
working
with
the
community
and
providing
them
with
the
vision
and
listening,
and
maybe
we
can
then
make
our
decisions
at
a
certain
point.
C
This
is
the
vision
and
we
are
modifying
it
and
we
are
hurt
the
public.
Maybe
we
can
make
some
tweaking
here
and
there
people
agree
to,
or
maybe
we
don't.
You
know,
I
think,
that's
a
good
process,
because
in
order
to
come
up
with
the
vision
that
we
will
have
for
the
next
20
years,
we
got
to
make
sure
we
know,
because
everything
we
do
is
built
on
this
vision,
and
I
think
some
of
the
vision
we've
come
up
with
is
affordable
housing.
C
You
mentioned
very
very
rightfully,
you
know
we
have
a
vision
which,
10
years
ago,
we
don't
have
as
clear
as
we
have
today.
Now
we
know
that
so
what
we
do
the
activities
we
do
is
going
to
build
up
to
meeting
that
vision,
and
so
this
applies
to
all
the
other
visions
we
may
be
telling
the
public
we
may
be
having
to
work
on.
So
I
really
think
that's
important.
C
So
what
so?
What
do
you
think
you
think
you
can
stretch
the
time
frame
a
bit
or
what
is
the
process
or
how
can
we
ourselves
to
validate
the
vision
for
you
so
that
you
can
go
up?
I
know
that
you
already
done
a
a
public
virtual
event.
You
know
which
is
good.
You
already
began
and
but
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
give
a
more
full,
more
firm
council.
A
C
But
we're
approving
all
the
schedule
or
the
timeline,
all
the
focus,
all
the
things
we're
talking
about.
If
it's
just
simply
approving
a
update,
no
question
about
it,
I
would
improve
it
with
just
click
of
a
finger.
We
have
to
do
it,
it's
important
to
do
it.
It
helps
us
to
know
and
define
the
vision
for
us,
as
well
as
the
public.
A
C
Love
the
process
that
is
spelled
out
because
it's
very
very
good.
You
know,
what's
with
the
vision,
the
step-by-step
steps
as
it
goes,
I
have
no
question.
I
have
no
qualm
about
it
and
I
like
the
idea
that
people
members
emphasize
we
need
to
provide
overall
community
equity
everything
we
have
learned
over
the
years
that
we
still
are
moving
forward
in
our
vision.
So
what
are
they?
Okay?
We
need
to
do
that,
but
I
just
want
to
know
what
specifically
that
we
are
going
to
talk
about.
That's
all
thank.
T
You
mayor,
if
you
want,
I
can
give
a
very
concise
answer
to
that
question:
okay,
yeah
councilmember
lee.
We
are
we're
looking
at
the
existing
vision
in
the
comprehensive
plan.
So
that's
a
starting
point.
We
also
have
the
council
vision
that
is
routinely
updated
every
year
or
two
at
the
council
retreat.
So
we
have
that
as
a
good
starting
point
as
well,
so
we'll
be
looking
at
those
two
existing
documents
and
and
seeing
how
to
update
it.
T
We
have
also
been
preparing
over
the
past
few
months
so
that
we
can
hit
the
ground
running
come
early
march,
with
our
engagement
from
the
community
on
what
they
would
like
to
see
in
the
updated
vision
as
well.
So
I
think
we
have
adequate
time
to
do
a
very
good
engagement
strategy
march
april
may
part
of
june,
and
then
we
really
are
looking
forward
to
coming
back
to
you
in
that
june
july
time
period
to
report
back
on.
The
update
to
the
vision
document
so
hope
hope
that
meets
your
needs.
Council
member
lee.
C
It
has,
it's
very
well
explained
the
only
thing
I'm
still
asking,
though
you
know,
as
I
mentioned,
I
don't
know
what
the
10
points
of
vision
is,
whether
we
have
11
or
9.
I
don't
know.
I
would
love
to.
I
think
all
the
council
members,
if
you
already
know
you
don't
know,
but
I
want
to
be
sure
the
seminars
on
the
same
page
well.
A
C
H
Thank
you
anyway.
I
was
starting
to
say
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
this
thoughtful
approach
of
looking
at
the
planning,
through
our
comp
plan,
update
and
having
a
timeline
that
you
know
as
we
move
forward.
It
helps
us
to
stay
on
track
and
if
we
need
a
little
more
time
with
one
piece
or
another,
I'm
sure
that
we
can
work
through
that
and
I'm
just
glad
that
we
have
those
foundational
visioning
documents
that
you
talked
about,
which
is
the
ones
already
in
the
comp
plan.
H
Our
council
vision,
which
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
we
still
have
the
same
one
at
our
retreat.
And
then
I
just
think
that
it's
important
to
also
note
that
there's
a
2050
vision,
2050
from
a
regional
standpoint,
where
we've
made
some
commitments
to
the
adoptive
growth
targets
that
our
comp
plan
also
has
to
reflect.
H
With
all
of
the
investments
that
we've
made.
So
I'm
excited
about
the
work
that
we've
got
ahead
and
I
think
that
it's
going
to
take
all
of
us
rolling
up
our
sleeve,
and
my
hope
is
that,
as
we
do,
that
outreach
we're
meeting
the
community
where
they
are.
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
we
can
do
surveys
and
and
different
community
events
that
are
where
we
are,
but
to
the
degree
we
can
be
where
the
the
people
are,
that
we're
trying
to
reach.
That
will
be
really
important.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you
so
I'll
I'll
just
finish
up
here.
I
really
I'm
so
excited
this.
Is
you
know
a
real,
exciting
opportunity
for
the
council
and
for
the
community
and
we've
done
this
before
and
it's
been
really
good
work
and
since
our
last
council
retreat,
we
have,
I
think
you
know
two
new
value
statements
is
that
everything
be
equitable
and
sustainable,
and
I
see
that
you
know
represented
in
the
work
here.
A
That's
moving
forward,
so
I'm
really
excited
to
apply
that
to
the
comp
plan
and
make
sure
that
all
the
work
we
do
from
here
on
out
are
equitable
and
sustainable,
and
also
we
have
our
council
retreat
again
at
the
end
of
march,
and
we
may
come
up
with
some
new
visioning,
so
we
will
be
applying
that
as
well.
So
I
this
is
really
fun,
I'm
excited
for
it
and
we
have
a
number
of
council
members
here
who
have
not
had
the
opportunity
to
experience
this
process
and
I'm
really
excited
to
include
everybody
into
it.
A
So
thank
you.
We
do
have
a
motion
on
the
table
without
other
comments
or
questions.
All
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
great
our
meeting
is
adjourned,
and
I
ask
that
all
the
council
members
please
check
their
emails
for
a
new
email.
Thank
you
so
much.
