A
A
I
want
to
read
something
that
should
be
a
commendation
and
next
year
it
will
be,
but
this
saturday
february
19th
will
mark
a
significant
anniversary
for
our
nation
and
the
japanese
american
community
on
that
date.
In
1942
80
years
ago,
president
franklin
roosevelt
signed
executive
order,
9066,
which
authorized
the
united
states
government
to
create
military
exclusion.
Areas
frequently
referred
to
as
internment
camps
for
japanese
americans
living
on
the
west
coast.
A
Among
those
incarcerated
were
300
women,
men
and
children.
All
residents
of
bellevue
order,
9066
is
a
troubling
event
in
our
history.
The
well-documented
cost
was
heavy,
both
emotionally
and
financially,
with
many
japanese
americans
losing
their
homes.
Businesses,
savings
and
property
and
bellevue
still
feels
the
loss
of
this
important
community.
Today,
the
80th
anniversary
is
an
opportunity
to
educate
others
on
the
fragility
of
civil
liberties
in
times
of
crisis
and
the
importance
of
remaining
vigilant
in
protecting
the
rights
and
freedoms
of
all.
A
B
A
So
that
passes
or
any
nays
okay
passes
city
clerk.
Do
we
have
anybody
signed
up
for
oral
communication.
B
E
F
F
This
application
includes
several
inaccurate
statements,
including
the
applicant's
assertion
that
claiming
rezoning
is
necessary
for
commercial
development.
This
is
neither
relevant
nor
accurate
as
proof
look
no
further
than
the
park
central
town
homes
immediately
north
to
this
property.
The
parcel
also
zoned
as
r30
added
eight
apartment
townhomes
to
the
housing
stock,
no
rezone
was
necessary
and
this
development
refutes
this
need
as
a
planned
department.
The
planning,
commission
and
ultimately
city
council
considers
a
geographic
scope
and
threshold
review.
We
strongly
oppose
that
any
other
properties
be
considered.
F
G
Thank
you
good
evening,
bellevue
city
council.
My
name
is
mark
walters.
I
reside
on
97th
avenue
northeast
and
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
myself
tonight
and
not
on
behalf
of
any
organization
tonight.
The
city
council
will
be
presented
with
an
application
to
amend
the
comprehensive
plan
to
change
the
zoning
for
a
large
parcel
in
my
neighborhood
to
be
redeveloped
above
the
r30
height
and
to
include
first
floor
retail
and
or
food
service
with
either
residential
or
a
hotel
above.
G
G
As
you
probably
know,
the
applicable
provision
of
the
land
use
code
states
that
a
property
owner
or
authorized
agent
of
the
property
owner
may
propose
a
site-specific
amendment
to
the
comprehensive
plan
and
on
the
issue
of
the
applicant's
ownership
assistant
attorney
matt
mcfarland
wrote
in
a
december
16
2021
email
quote.
The
record
shows
that
the
applicant
purchased
a
subject
property
on
around
december
17
2021..
G
On
september
15th
I
and
others
have
asked
for
proof
that
the
applicant
was
an
authorized
agent
of
the
property
owner
to
be
clear,
the
owner
of
the
property
on
september,
15
2021
when
the
applicant
submitted
the
application,
and
we
have
not
received
any
documents
to
establish
the
fact
of
authorized
agent
of
the
property
owner
status
and,
in
my
opinion
this
should
be
jurisdictional
to
the
city
council.
Even
accepting
the
application
to
amend
the
comprehensive
plan
on
the
issue
of
authorized
agent
of
the
property
owner
status,
mr
mcfarland
wrote
in
an
email
also
dated
september
26th.
G
G
G
He's
got
it
covered,
but
we
think
that
this
is
a
jurisdictional
issue
and
we
should
see
some
written
documentation
that
this
particular
owner
actually
had
the
prior
owner's
authorization
to
act
on
its
behalf
on
september
15
2021.,
and
so
I
asked
the
city
council
to
inform
itself
and
conform
firm
for
itself
that
the
applicant
was
an
authorized
agent
of
the
property
owner
when
it
submitted
the
site-specific
amendment
to
the
comprehensive
plan.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
mr
walters.
The
next
speaker
on
the
list
this
evening
is
billy
hetherington,
mr
heatherington.
It
looks
like
you're
using
an
older
version
of
zoom
and
I
cannot
unmute
you
so
I'm
going
to
move
you
to
the
other
side
and
ask
you
not
to
turn
your
video
on
I'll
pause.
While
you
are
moving,
mr
heatherington,
can
you
hear
me
now.
H
All
right,
thank
you
good
evening,
council
and
happy
valentine's
day.
My
name
is
billy
hetherington
and
I'm
a
member
of
lionel
local
242.
I'd
like
to
speak
this
evening,
support
about
the
presentation
under
item
7,
apprenticeship,
utilization
policy
and
program
proposal.
Also,
I
wanted
to
flag.
Earlier
this
afternoon
I
sent
an
email
to
the
entire
council
from
congressman
adam
smith,
that
was
sent
to
me
on
the
importance
of
registered
apprenticeship.
H
I
wanted
to
thank
councilmember
bark
still
for
his
leadership
for
bringing
this
up
for
discussion
to
the
council
this
past
september.
Since
then,
I
appreciate
the
time
that
the
majority
of
you
have
taken
to
meet
and
discuss
this
idea
and
con
and
the
concerns
that
each
of
you
might
have
additionally,
other
members
of
the
building
trades
and
myself
have
heard
nothing
but
positive
feedback
and
conversations
with
bellevue
college.
H
Interim
president,
former
governor
gary
locke,
the
bellevue
chamber,
helene
sigmund,
who
is
a
executive
director
of
citc,
the
construction
industry,
training
council,
which
is
a
bellevue
based
business,
bellevue,
school
district
and
sever
several
other
groups
in
the
community.
Since
our
last
discussion
in
september,
we've
seen
the
federal
government
pass
a
1.2
trillion
dollar
infrastructure
package
that
estimated
to
funnel
over
10
billion
dollars
into
our
state
over
its
life.
Combine
that
with
the
straight
state
transportation
package
that
was
just
introduced
this
last
week,
valued
at
over
18
billion
dollars.
H
The
funding
is
there
to
maintain
and
upgrade
our
infrastructure
into
the
future.
The
need
for
skilled
construction
workers
is
only
going
to
increase
over
the
next
decade.
Our
hope
is
that
a
city
of
city,
like
the
city
of
bellevue,
excuse
me,
and
this
council
continued
to
look
at
apprenticeship
utilization
and
adopt
a
policy
in
the
near
future
future
to
provide
a
greater
opportunity
for
our
youth
and
those
looking
at
a
career
transition
into
the
building,
trades
and
I'll
concede
my
time.
Thank
you.
B
B
I
Okay,
gotcha
yeah,
mansoor
williams
is
my
first
first
name
and
I'll
edit,
my
middle
name
so
perfect.
I
Yeah
yeah.
Well,
thank
thank
you
for
having
me
city
council.
Let
me
just
start
by
saying
this
is
actually
my
first
time
joining
in
so
actually
I
was
calling
in
to
speak
on
item
number
seven
there,
which
has
to
do
with
the
apprenticeship
utilization
opportunities
and
all
here
in
the
city,
and
let
me
start
by
saying
actually
I'm
a
current
resident
of
bellevue
have
been
for
the
last
few
years
and
actually
before
that.
I
Even
I
worked
downtown
here
at
the
ohio
regency
for
about
a
good
seven
years
and
also
been
in
the
city
for
about
a
good
decade,
and
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
see
it
grow,
marvelous
marvelously
over
time,
and
also
when
I
heard
about
the
opportunity
to
speak
on
behalf
of
my
local
242
lyona
being
an
apprentice
myself
and
also
the
city
is
definitely
excited
to
do
so,
and
a
little
bit
about
my
story,
my
story
after
I,
after
the
pandemic,
actually
working
at
the
in
the
hotel
industry
and
all
of
course,
we
all
know
what
what
happened
there.
I
So
I
was
out
of
work
for
some
time
and
and
a
good
friend
of
mine
had
mentioned
to
me
about
the
trades
and
how
to
go
about
getting
in
and
getting
more
familiar
with.
So
I
actually
joined
a
pre-apprenticeship
program
called
a
new.
I
believe
it
used
to
be
called
pace
but
started.
There
was
a
12-week
program
which
got
us
used
to
more
with
the
trades
and
hands-on
experience
and
all,
and
so
with
that.
I
Actually
I
decided
to
join
the
the
local
242
union
there
and
have
been
working
ever
since
with
cue
it
on
the
sound
transit
light,
rail
expansion
and
all
I'm
from
federal
way
north
of
here
and
I've
got
to
say
just
being
an
apprentice
and
starting
out
with
a
whole
new
career.
I
It's
been
very
rewarding
already
learning
something
new
every
day
going
forward
and
to
actually
be
a
resident
here
in
bellevue
and
see
how
far
the
city
has
come
in
the
last
decade
and
all
even
even
more
so
excited
to
see
where
it's
headed
and
definitely
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
speak
on
it.
And
let
it
be
known,
I'm
all
about
growth
and
progress
here
in
the
city
and
if
there's
very
anything
I
could
do
to
help
out.
J
So
because
my
my
yeah
so
hello,
bellevue
city,
council
members,
I'm
jason,
I'm
a
tech,
employee
of
a
company
that
has
their
offices
in
the
bellevue
place,
building
I'm
here,
because
I
support
prioritizing
the
housing
needs
assessment
and
separating
it
from
the
overhaul
overall
comprehensive
plan
discussions,
I'm
here
because
as
a
young
affluent
person,
I
think
it's
partly
on
me
to
sound
the
alarm
about
what
I
see
is
runaway
housing
prices
across
the
region
that
I
call
home
last
year.
My
wife
and
I
began
our
search
to
buy
a
home.
J
However,
however,
even
though
my
wife
and
I
are
both
highly
paid
tech
employees,
we
were
effectively
priced
out
of
bellevue.
As
a
result,
our
search
for
a
home
that
we
could
afford
could
not
include
the
bellevue
area
and
we
purchased
a
townhome
within
our
budget
in
columbia,
city
seattle.
This
lack
of
affordability
in
bellevue
has
locked
me
into
a
fairly
substantial
commute
when
I
think
about
the
housing
needs
assessment.
J
Tying
these
two
things
together
strikes
me
as
unnecessary,
and
I
hope
that
the
council
will
look
into
how
they
can
accelerate
the
housing
needs
assessment,
rather
than
delaying
it
until
they
can
come
up
with
a
plan
for
what
to
do
as
they
move
forward.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
B
Mr
rock,
I'm
not
quite
sure
if
you
heard
me,
but
you
cut
out
at
about
with
about
a
minute
left
of
your
statement
and
it
looks
like
you
might
have
had
a
bad
internet
connection.
K
K
K
K
I
went
from
being
close
to
homeless
to
owning
a
home
in
a
matter
of
years,
after
realizing
the
positive
effects
apprenticeship
has
provided
and
provided
to
my
life.
I
now
mentor
youth
and
women
looking
for
a
career
path
that
isn't
traditional,
but
it
fits
them
and
through
apprenticeship
and
have
and
have
been
able
to
get
their
lives
back
through
apprenticeship,
prosper
and
also
give
back
to
the
community.
K
B
L
L
Thanks
good
evening,
council
members,
my
name
is
leslie
geller.
My
address
is
15102
southeast
43rd
street
and
eastgate,
and
I'm
speaking
tonight
regarding
the
consent,
calendar
item
h,
ordinance,
6551,
adding
650
000
from
the
king
county
conservation,
futures,
open
space
acquisition
program
to
the
cip.
L
As
indicated
in
the
parks
and
open
space
system
plan
update
2022
the
draft
of
february
3rd
2022.,
page
44
notes
that
edie
skate
is
one
of
only
a
handful
of
neighborhood
areas
in
bellevue
that
display
deficiencies
in
walkable
neighborhood
parks
that
are
significant
enough
to
prioritize
the
acquisition
and
development
of
new
neighborhood
park
sites
ladderwood
park.
By
the
way,
I
should
note
that
I
live
on
the
south
side
of
I-90
and
ladawood
park,
which
I
have
walked
to
many
times.
It's
a
pocket
park.
L
It's
the
only
eastgate
the
only
park
in
eastgate,
that's
south
of
I-90,
it's
on
the
boundary,
literally
the
boundary
line
with
cougar
mountain
lake,
mont
neighborhood
and
it's
up
quite
a
steep
hill
from
where
the
majority
of
eastgate
residents
live
eastgate
park
and
the
south
bellevue
community
center
is
not
actually
a
neighborhood
park,
as
people
would
generally
think
of
one
one
which
would
have
grass
and
picnic
areas
and
children's
play
areas
at
the
minimum.
L
B
Thank
you
for
your
comments,
best
keller,
that
ends
the
our
pre-registered
list
of
speakers
this
evening.
So
at
this
point
I
would
ask
if
there
was
anyone
else
connected
to
this
meeting,
who
would
like
to
make
communication
to
the
council?
Please
use
the
raised
hand,
function
or
star
9
if
you're
connected
with
a
phone.
B
A
Okay,
so
next
we
have
council
business
and
new
initiatives
and
council
member
barksdale.
I
believe
you
have
something
you
want
to
present
tonight.
Could
you
go
ahead?
Please.
M
All
right
all
right
so
this
evening,
I'm
looking
for
support
to
direct
staff
to
return
to
council
with
details
about
the
fiscal
and
legal
implications
of
the
apprenticeship
policy
proposal,
and
I
do
just
want
to
take
a
second
to
thank
the
public.
Speak
public
comments
from
monsoor
and
andrea
and
I'm
sharing
their
experiences.
M
M
So
workforce
development
and
specifically
technical
and
trade
education
is
mentioned
as
part
of
the
achieving
human
potential
strategic
target
area
of
our
council.
Vision
and
apprenticeships
are
a
workforce
development
strategy
in
that
they
help
people
gain
the
skills
necessary
to
work
in
this
field
trades
in
september,
I
raised
the
idea
of
considering
apprenticeship
utilization
requirements
and
asked
what
questions
each
of
you
might
have
on
the
topic
during
council
business.
M
But
this
is
not
a
new
topic
for
this
council.
From
what
I
found
in
january,
2015
councilmember
lee
expressed
support
for
apprenticeship
as
part
of
the
state
legislative
agenda
in
july
of
2019,
mayor
robinson
recommended
adding
an
objective
for
apprenticeship
programs
to
the
council
division
in
july
of
2020
council
members
on
ask
whether
the
economic
development
plan
included
apprenticeships,
and
when
I
raised
the
idea
in
september,
a
large
majority
of
council
members
expressed
interest
in
apprenticeships,
including
deputy
mayor
newhouse
and
councilmember
stokes,.
M
As
we
know,
bellevue
is
not
affordable
for
many
lower
income
earners
in
our
community.
Affordable
housing
strategies
help
by
lowering
the
cost
of
living,
but
that's
half
the
story.
The
other
side
of
the
story
entails
helping
people
earn
more
via
does
a
high
school
graduate
who
seeks
an
alternative
to
college
because
they
need
to
start
immediately
earning
to
support
their
family
or
can't
afford
college
someone
formerly
incarcerated,
who
still
needs
a
pathway
to
earn
when
other
options
are
maybe
unavailable
to
them.
M
One
of
the
key
findings
from
our
human
needs
update
is
that
there's
a
decrease
in
middle
income,
job
opportunities
which
makes
it
harder
for
people
at
lower
incomes
to
access
better
jobs.
It
also
notes
that
a
living
wage
for
a
family
in
bellevue
is
higher
than
in
other
parts
of
king
county
on
the
contracting
side.
There's
a
shortage
of
skilled
labor,
but
a
growing
need
for
it
to
work
on
public
works
projects.
M
M
Our
2021
to
2027
cip
budget
totals
662
million
dollars,
while
not
all
capital
improvement
projects
would
qualify
for
apprenticeship
hours.
There
are
a
broad
spectrum
of
projects
that
would
so
apprenticeship
utilization
can
provide
well-paying
job
opportunities,
improving
affordability
and
help
build
the
pipeline
for
the
much
needed
skilled
labor.
M
In
the
event,
a
contractor
does
not
meet
the
required
hours,
they
would
be
assessed
a
fee
of
10
for
each
hour
and
that
revenue
would
go
into
a
fund
to
support
workforce
development
staff
would
regularly
report
apprenticeship,
performance
to
council
and
flexibility
is
built
into
the
policy
to
allow
waiving
apprenticeship
requirements
if
requirements
conflict
with
federal
state
or
other
grant
conditions.
There
aren't
enough
apprentices
to
meet
the
requirements.
There's
a
disproportionately
high
ratio
of
material
costs
to
labor
hours.
M
M
Anticipated
costs
of
an
apprenticeship
utilization
policy
are
changes
to
the
request
for
proposal
and
contract
language
tracking
to
ensure
compliance
and
equity
and
establishing
an
accountability
structure
for
when
any
enforcement
action
is
necessary
in
the
footnote.
You'll
notice
that
kent
currently
spend
approximately
thirty
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
administer
their
policy.
M
Apprenticeship
utilization
provides
a
number
of
benefits
to
our
community,
the
city
and
contractors
for
the
community.
It
provides
a
pathway
to
earn
when
other
options
may
not
be
available
to
them
and
can
potentially
afford
them
the
opportunity
to
work
closer
to
home
for
the
city
and
contractors.
It
will
help
with
growing
a
pipeline
of
skilled
laborers
to
work
on
public
works
projects.
M
Table
compares
the
proposed
apprenticeship,
utilization
policy
to
apprenticeship
utilization
policies
for
shoreline
kent
and
burien,
as
going
across
the
top
or
from
left
to
right
relative
to
each
provision
going
down.
The
left
kent
is
in
the
middle
because
their
policy
has
more
nuance
than
shoreline's
policy,
but
not
as
much
as
buriens.
M
Here
are
responses
to
some
of
the
questions
raised
about
apprenticeship
utilization
I'll
just
emphasize
that
the
focus
is
on
larger
public
works
projects
that
are
1
million
or
more
performed
by
any
registered
training
agent.
I
believe
any
minimal
costs
are
outweighed
by
the
benefit
to
our
community
and
the
opportunity
for
bellevue
to
play
an
active
role
in
helping
feed
the
growing
need
for
skilled
labor.
M
Again,
I'm
looking
for
support
to
direct
staff
to
return
to
council
with
details
about
the
fiscal
and
legal
implications
of
the
apprenticeship
utilization
policy
proposal
and
I'll
just
note
that,
in
terms
of
the
resolution,
that's
in
the
packet
it's
more
of
a
sample
of
what
we
could
adopt.
But
I'm
not
committed
to
it.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
So
I'm
gonna
take
questions
if
you
wanna,
if
anybody
has
a
comment
or
question,
could
you
raise
your
hand.
C
Yeah.
Thank
you
mayor.
I
wanted
to
give
my
colleagues
a
chance
to
ask
questions.
First,
actually,
perhaps
councilman
robertson
and
council
member
stokes
can
go
first.
N
N
Your
hair
first
set
it
up
good.
I
think
this
is
is
amazing
and
I
think
it's
something
we
talked
about
for
a
long
time.
It's
always
been
good
positive
conversations.
I've
never
heard
any
of
the
many
councils
over
the
years
have
a
negative
approach
to
this,
and
I
appreciate
councilmember
barksdale's
efforts
in
this
and
putting
together
very
robust
and
and
very
comprehensive
and
also,
very
frankly,
understandable,
a
lot
a
lot
of
times.
N
N
You
know,
have
more
information
about
what
this,
what
the
effect
would
be,
and
then
we
could
have
really
good
conversations
about
how
we
may
make
this
thing
going
forward.
It's
not
something,
you
know
we're
going
to
say
we're
all
for
this
tonight
with,
but
I
think
a
lot
of
us
are,
but
let's
put
it
on
a
path
and
and
it's
something
that
we
need
now
and
not
two
or
three
years
from
now.
N
So
I'm
excited
about
it,
and
I
think
we
have
a
pathway
to
get
to
a
resolution
of
it
and
then
come
back
in
a
reasonable
time
period
for
council
to
make
a
final
decision.
O
Thanks,
I
actually
have
a
question
for
staff
because
normally
when
we
do
one
of
these,
we
know
what
the
estimated
time
it
will
be.
What
the
you
know,
the
timing
on
delivery,
whether
we
have
staff
or
financial
resources
to
do
the
study.
So
I
didn't
see
that
information
in
the
packet
and-
and
I
also
didn't
absorb
everything
in
the
powerpoint,
because
it
was
some
new
information
that
wasn't
in
the
packet.
O
So
my
question
really
is,
for
I
don't
know
if
it's
nathan
or
someone
else
on
staff,
do
we
know
how
long
you
know?
What's
the
estimated
impact
on
staff
and
budgetary
resources
to
do
the
study.
A
P
That's
something
we
would
have
to
put
together.
We
would
anticipate
getting
this
on
the
work
plan
regardless,
but
as
far
as
the
timing
of
bringing
it
back,
we'd
have
to
get
back
to
the
council
on
what
that
might
be.
Okay,.
O
If
we
have
to
put
something,
that's
a
council
priority
on
the
back
burner,
then
that
that
warrants
further
discussion
before
we
greenlight
it
so
and
I'll
just
say
this,
so
just
so
that
as
staff
is
developing
a
scope
and
work.
You
know
work
plan,
estimate
I'd
like
the
work
to
include
outreach
to
labor
outreach
to
businesses,
an
evaluation
of
best
practices,
economic
impacts
and
legal
review,
and
if
we
can,
you
know
we
can
bring
that
back
with
that
estimate
and
impacts
on
the
work
plan.
O
As
soon
as
we
have
that,
I'm
I'm
happy
to
look
at
it
weigh
it,
and
if
we
have
the
resources
to
do
it
without
putting
a
priority
on
hold,
then
I'm
all
for
it
and,
like
I
said,
I
think
it's
a
great
idea.
We
just
need
to
be
cognizant
of
the
impacts
on
the
work.
We
can't
just
say
yes
to
everything
immediately,
but
I'd
like
to
see
how
it
works
on
the
work
plan
and
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
say
yes
to
this
immediately.
But
I
need
that
information
before
I
weigh
in.
C
C
C
And
then
I
would
add
that
also
in
addition
to
collaborating
with
the
school
district
and
citc
and
labor
and
anew,
I
think
there's
some
benefits
to
collaborating
with
labor
and
industries,
because
they
already
have
an
awarding
agency
portal
that
collects
a
lot
of
the
information
directly
from
our
contractors
that
are
doing
our
work
so
to
the
degree
that
we
can
leverage
an
existing
database
that
exists
already.
C
C
I
would
also
encourage
that,
since
we
do
have
an
interest
in
workforce
development
and
apprenticeship
that
we
should
consider
advocating
for
the
current
senate
bill
5600
that
talks
about
expanding
apprenticeship
and
potentially
advocating
for
that,
as
well
as
part
of
this
work,
because
it's
both
helping
build
the
pipeline
to
have
workers
for
apprenticeships,
as
well
as
providing
the
venue
within
our
own
construction
contracts
to
make
sure
that
that
happens.
So
thank
you.
D
D
This
is
something
that
I
have
an
interest
in,
and
I
think
it's
good
that
we
indeed
do
move
this
forward,
but
I
also
believe
that
councilman
robertson
has
some
some
some
good
questions,
and
certainly
you
know
if
we're
going
to
do
this
right.
Let's
do
it
the
right
way,
so
you
know
hard
look
at
best
practices,
the
outreach
to
labor
and
to
businesses
and
industry
and
then
also
the
impact
to
other
priorities.
D
Certainly
during
our
during
our
last
retreat.
We
had
discussion
about
priorities
this
one
I
don't
believe,
came
up
at
that
time.
That
doesn't
necessarily
mean
it's
not
a
priority
now,
but
you
know
I
just
need
to
understand.
D
If
we
adopt
this
priority,
what
other
priority
may
drop
off
or
not
get
as
much
time
or
attention
as
we
previously
thought
it
would
so
understanding
that
impact,
but
would
would
be
important,
I
think,
for
for
all
of
us,
because
certainly
all
of
us
have
priorities
that
we're
passionate
about
and
one
and
want
to
see
c
move
forward,
so
so
supportive
of
this,
but
certainly
would
like
to
have
some
of
those
questions
answered.
Thank
you.
Q
Thank
you
very
much
council
member
box,
to
mentioned
my
name
that
I
supported
the
apprenticeship
absolutely
so
I
wanted
to
compliment
him
for
bringing
these
up
in
this
fashion.
Q
Q
However,
you
know,
I
think
we
all
have
our
own
way
support
this,
but
you
know
it
may
all
vary
in
some
way
and
I'm
looking
at
this
from
real
big
picture,
I'm
you
know
involved
with
the
economic
development
for
the
whole
region
and
workforce
development
is
one
of
the
very
important
piece
of
the
economic
development
and
I
think
the
city
of
bellevue.
You
know
it's
a
like
council
member
bostik
mentioned
it's
right
along
with
it
and
not
to
mention
obviously,
human
capital.
Q
Q
You
know
more
look
at
how
other
entities
that
have
a
responsibility,
maybe
more
directly
going
down
indirectly.
Whatever
way
you
know
such
as
it
was
mentioned
in
the
state
has
a
real
responsibility
and
they
are
like
council
member.
You
know
that,
yes,
as
I
mentioned,
they
already
are
looking
at
it,
and
obviously
we
have
to
work
with
the
labor
union
with
the
industries,
and
then
we
have
to
look
at
other
cities.
The
biggest
work
job
goes
throughout
the
whole
whole
state.
Q
Hopefully
you
know
not
just
not
the
whole
state,
but
whole
countries,
economies
tied
together,
so
I'd
be
happy
to
be.
You
know
the
place
that
can
begin
this,
but
our
program
cannot
be
just
focused
short-sightedly
on
just
what
we
do,
because
we're
limited
to
what
we
can
do.
The
success
will
not
be
as
avid
as
easy
unless
we
know
who
are
the
players?
Q
How
we
can
connect
and
what
are
the
basic
driving
force,
so
I
appreciate
some
other
cities
doing
it
and
I
think
we
should
probably
should
step
in,
but
we
need
to
have
our
program
the
way
we
want
to
structure
it.
I
just
want
to
mention
some
of
those
included.
Also,
we
need
to
be
looking
at
community
colleges,
you
know
what
they
are
doing.
Q
Q
People
represent
a
lot
of
labor
force
and
that
would
include
I'm
sure
apprentice
as
well,
and
so
in
order
to
make
it
all
work,
all
these
pieces
have
to
work
together
and
we've
been,
you
know,
as
councilmember
advisor
mentioned,
and
I've
been
around
for
a
long
time,
and
I
know
how
important
it
is,
but
it
takes
the
right
element,
the
right
parties,
the
right
emphasis
and
the
timing
and
the
needs-
and
I
think
this
is
all
kind
of
working
together.
Q
I'm
glad
to
see
that
you
know
there's
this,
this
kind
of
impetus,
so
I
think
that
we
need
to
include
wnbe
is
one
of
the
importance
we've
been
talking
about
that
lovely
mbe.
The
state
has
had
some
programs,
some
other
jurisdictions
have
it.
But
what
what?
What
more
can
we
do
about
this?
The
other
one
is.
Q
We
need
to
have
all
this
understanding,
so
we
can
prioritize
them
where
you
can
know
what
the
city
can
do.
You
know
what
the
city's
you
know
ability
would
be
in
relationship
to
other,
because
it's
going
to
be
big,
it's
not
going
to
be
just
what
the
city
does.
I
hope
it's
going
to
be
comprehensive.
Q
Another
thing
that
we
talked
about
is
we
talk
about
advanced
manufacturing
right,
that's
part
of
it.
You
know
when
we
train
people,
we
need
to
train
them
in
areas
which
they
don't
have
experienced
before
and
well
is
belgium.
Gonna
have
the
events
measuring
for
other
cities
you
may
have,
or
the
other
cities
may
be
better
suited,
but
these
are
all
topics
that
need
to
be
discussed
in
terms
of
economic
development.
Q
Q
Council
member
lee,
no,
I
think
I've
covered
almost
everything
but
there'll
be
others
that
I
think
we
need
to
talk
about.
That's
why
it's
important
to
have
the
staff
looking
to
gather
the
information,
give
us
as
much
as
we
we
need,
and
then
we
can
decide
what
how
much
we
can
do
about
this.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
So
you
know
I'm,
I
really
support
this
idea
and
I
think
councilman
barksdale
for
doing
the
research
and
giving
this
presentation
to
kind
of
move
us
along
faster
in
our
consideration
of
it.
My
dad
joined
a
union
at
age
15
in
canada
when
he
worked
for
boeing
and
he
hired
union
workers
throughout
all
his
projects
when
he
had
his
own
firm
in
san
francisco.
So
I
know
the
value
of
these
workers
and
I
really
know
that
our
workforce
is
aging
out,
and
so
this
is
not
a
stretch.
Ask
at
all.
A
I
think
most
of
our
developers
are
using
apprentices
right
now
anyway,
because
they
understand
the
importance
of
replenishing
our
workforce.
I'm
excited
to
partner
with
the
bellevue
school
district
and
bellevue
college.
I've
been
wanting
to
do
this
for
a
long
time,
and
I
know
council
members
on-
and
I
have
talked
about
this
for
a
number
of
years,
so
I'm
very
pleased
to
see
this
come
forward.
My
only
question
is
how
best
to
do
this,
so
I
do
think
you've
expedited
the
process
council,
member
barksdale,
and
I
thank
you
for
that.
A
We
look
at
our
work
plan
and
we
decide
which
ones
we're
going
to
do
first,
and
so
that
would
be
a
way
of
doing
it.
I
I
have
a
little
concern
about
some
of
the
things
we
voted
on
last
year
when
a
council
member's
ons
proposals
that
got
full
council
support.
We've
never
seen
back
at
the
council,
because
everybody's
so
busy
staff
has
been
so
busy,
and
I
worry
about
supplanting
things
like
that
with
a
new
idea.
A
So
I
would
like
to
kind
of
get
a
feel
from
the
council
whether
I
know
everybody
supports
moving
forward.
I'd
like
to
get
a
feel
about
how
you'd
like
to
do
it,
whether
you'd
like
to
have
a
motion
tonight
to
do
more
than
eight
hours
for
the
staff
or,
if
you'd
like
to
wait
until
the
retreat,
where
we
can
sit
down
and
discuss
our
priorities.
O
It's
really
helpful
if
we
know
what
our
capacity
both
financially
and
human
resources
is
to
do
more
priorities
and
if
they're,
big
or
small
or
medium,
you
know
what's
the
order
of
magnitude,
so
I
need
to
kind
of
know.
We
need
to
know
the
order
of
magnitude
as
we're
looking
at
our
priorities,
so
we
can
decide
okay,
we
want
to
do
three
more
smalls
and
we'll
take
off
a
medium
if
that's
the
trade.
O
So
if
we
can
have
that
order
of
magnitude
ready
on
this
or
at
least
the
best
guess,
I
think
that
would
allow
us
and
any
other
priorities
that
are
competing.
That
would
allow
us
to
be
really
thoughtful
and
effective
at
determining
what
our
work
plan
is
going
to
be
for
the
next
couple
of
years.
So
I
think
that
that's
the
way
to
go
thanks.
N
Yes,
yeah,
actually,
I
think,
we're
all
kind
of
saying
the
same
thing.
I
agree
with
councilmember
robertson's
looking
at
this
and
we've
all
in
you
know
over
time
here
talked
about
how
do
we
manage
all
these
things,
and
sometimes
you
have
to
take
advantage
of
something
that
really
rises
to
a
level
that
we
hadn't
thought
about
a
year
or
two
years
ago.
Although
we've
been
talking
about
this
a
long
time,
so
I
think
the
pathway
which
has
been
suggested
is
that
and
we're
talking
about
the
time
frame.
N
We
have
a
retreat
coming
up
shortly
and
for
this
conversation
to
be
positive
and
and
productive,
I
think
we
should
go
ahead
and
authorize
the
the
staff
to
expand
more
than
eight
hours
to
answer
questions
and
respond
to
some
things
that
councilman
robertson,
councilman,
newton
house
and
and
others
of
us
who
have
discussed
this
and
councilman
lee
and
come
back
with
us.
N
So
we
can
have
a
real,
robust
discussion,
because
this
this
is
something
that
is
core
to
to
bellevue's
future
and
it's
a
very,
very
important
thing
at
this
time
in
our
history.
So
I
think
that's
the
path
that
I
see
as
we
have
give
staff
to
come
back
and
give
us
some
really
good
information,
and
I
think
they
have
a
lot
already.
So
it's
not
going
to
be
a
difficult
thing
and
then
we
have
a
the
discussion
at
the
retreat
and
then
we
can
move
this
along.
C
Yes,
I
agree
with
council
member
stokes
that
we're
we
have
momentum
right
now
with
some
of
this
information
and
I
would
support
having
staff
spend
more
than
eight
hours
on
this,
and
now
that
we
have
more
of
this
information
as
a
baseline.
We
can
certainly
help
staff
with
providing
additional
resources
and
people
to
talk
to.
I
think
there
is
going
to
be
peer
support
from
some
of
them
the
agencies
that
have
been
using
this
for
a
long
time.
O
I
don't
even
know
if
the
ask
is
for
10
more
hours
of
staff,
time
or
500
more
hours
of
staff
time,
so
I
can't
really
vote
on
the
eight
hour
rule
tonight.
Until
we
know
the
order
of
magnitude
and
staff
has
not
worked
up
that
information,
so
I
definitely
would
propose
that
we
ask
staff
to
work
up
that
information
and
then
discuss
this.
How
it's
going
to
work
in
the
work
plan
at
the
retreat.
N
Well,
I
suspect
that
that
will
take
more
than
eight
hours
to
do
that.
I
I
I
this
is
a
very
business
friendly.
This
is
a
very
economic
development
process
and
program
and
we're
coming
up
to
the
retreat
shortly
and
if
we're
going
to
have
a
real,
robust
conversation,
I
would
like
to
have
staff
have
a
little
more
than
eight
hours
to
do
this.
We're
not
talking
about
it
to
say
that
maybe
a
100
to
500
hours
is
not
realistic.
That's
kind
of
you
know,
so
I
think
I
think
staff
can
handle
this.
N
N
If
staff
can
help
kind
of
frame
this
and
raise
some
questions-
and
we
can
all-
you
know-
be
prepared
for
this
as
well,
so
I
don't
think
it's
an
unreasonable
request
and
I
think
it's
something
we
can
manage
and
will
help
us
make
good
decisions
and
some
of
the
things
that
the
councilmember
lee
mentioned
are
ideas
that
will
be
talked
about
in
this
so
forward.
A
I
think
you
know
anything.
Any
further
work
from
staff
is
going
to
be
beyond
eight
hours,
because
council,
member
rex
sales
already
worked
with
staff
for
up
to
eight
hours
on
this.
So
and
I
think
that
if
he
was
in
interest,
you
could
put
a
limit
on
the
time
spent
by
staff,
so
it
didn't
get
beyond.
I
don't
think
that's
necessary.
Personally,
I'm
also
this
business
about
reporting
back
to
council.
A
I
just
our
meetings
are
pretty
full,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
much
time
I
want
to
spend
overviewing
the
results
of
this,
but
go
ahead.
Councilmember
barksdale.
M
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I'd
appreciate
that
any
more
comments
or
questions
who
would
like
to
make
the
motion
councilmember
barksdale.
M
All
right,
I
move
that
we
authorize
staff
to
spend
additional
time
past
the
eight-hour
rule
to
further
investigate
the
fiscal,
legal,
economic
implications
and
the
impact
on
other
priorities.
A
A
A
A
Yes,
okay,
thank
you.
So
we
have
two
study
session
items
tonight,
mr
mccommon,
would
you
like
to
introduce
them.
P
E
Thank
you
for
the
introduction
deputy
city
manager
mccommon
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
members
of
council
tonight,
staff
are
here
to
introduce
council
to
the
privately
initiated
comprehensive
plan
amendment
applications
for
2022.
this
year.
We
have
received
one
privately
initiated
application
in
past
years.
The
number
has
ranged
from
one
or
two
up
to
a
handful
of
private
applications
in
a
given
year
before
we
jump
into
the
presentation,
I'd
like
to
offer
up
a
few
opening
comments,
as
would
as
was
noted
during
oral
communications.
E
R
As
has
been
said
several
times,
this
is
for
information.
Only
there's,
no
action
to
be
taken
right
now.
It's
a
summary
of
the
2022
privately
initiated
comprehensive
plan
amendment
so
tonight
I'll
be
reviewing
the
process
for
privately
initiated
cpas
I'll,
introduce
the
fun
amendment
that
we
have
this
year
and
I'll
give
a
summary.
A
brief
summary
of
the
comment
that
we've
received.
R
So
the
in
bellevue,
the
annual
amendment
process
is
in
two
phases:
the
threshold
review
phase
and
the
final
review
phase
it
during
the
threshold
review
planning
commission
considers
the
geographic
scope
of
the
proposed
amendment
and
whether
to
enabling
properties,
and
then
planning
commission
recommends
to
city
council
whether
the
amendment
should
be
included
in
the
2022
cpa,
work
program
and
council
decides
that,
along
with
all
of
the
other
cpas
initiated
cpas.
R
R
The
deadline
for
submitting
privately
initiated
comprehensive
plan
amendments
was
september.
15Th
of
last
year,
we
introduced
the
amendment
to
planning
commission
on
december
8th
and
now
we
are
introducing
it
to
council
today,
next
month
or
the
end
of
this
month,
a
planning
commission
will
consider
the
geographic
scope
and
they
will
hold
a
public
hearing
likely
in
march
and
they'll,
make
a
decision
or
a
recommendation
on
the
threshold
review
city
council,
probably
in
early
april,
we'll
consider
the
cpa,
work
plan
and
take
action
on
whether
to
in
this
amendment
in
the
work
program.
R
If
it
is
included
in
the
work
program,
then
planning
commission
will
study
it
against
the
final
review
criteria
in
the
land
use
code
and
they
will
another
public
hearing
and
make
a
recommendation
to
council
based
on
the
final
review
criteria.
Then
council
would
see
it
in
november
and
take
action
in
december.
R
The
privately
initiated
comprehensive
plan
amendment
that
was
submitted
this
year
is
for
115
100th
avenue.
That
is
the
former
chimney
con
condominiums,
that
burned
in
a
fire
in
2016..
R
The
the
amendment
or
the
proposed
change
is
a
change
from
the
land
use
code,
designation,
multi-family,
high
to
neighborhood
mixed
use,
and
the
site
is
about
one
acre.
It's
across
from
downtown
park.
R
R
So
the
I
thought,
although
you're
not
taking
action
on
this,
I
thought
it
would
be
helpful
to
have
kind
of
a
comparison
of
what
these
what
the
change
might
be
like.
So
the
as
I
said,
the
r30
is
the
only
land
use
or
the
only
zoning
code
within
the
multi-family
high
land
use
category
and
those
are
intended
to
provide
moderate
residential
density.
R
The
nmu
district
is
the
only
zoning
code
within
nmu
and
that's
intends
to
provide
a
mix
of
retail
service
office
and
residential
uses,
with
an
emphasis
on
neighborhood
retail
and
service
uses
the
height,
because
this
is
in
the
transition
area.
Design
district,
the
r30
has
a
height
of
limit
of
30
feet,
but
but
it
can
have
bonuses
up
to
40
feet
for
nmu,
because
it's
within
the
transition
area
design
district.
It's
has
a
high
limit
of
45
feet
and
has
no
weaknesses.
R
R
The
public
comment
we've
received
38
comments
through
february
9th
thursday,
the
loch
levin
community
association,
which
is
the
community
association,
the
northwest,
bellevue
side
of
a
hundredth
that
surrounds
this
property.
They
have
been
very
engaged
in
the
process.
R
R
Of
course,
we
have
continuous
community
engagement
throughout
the
entire
process.
The
public
comment
can
be
seen
on
the
cpa
webpage
and
it's
updated
periodically,
as
comments
are
submitted,
public
comment
can
can
can
be
submitted
to
me
at
my
email
address
and
it
will
get
posted
onto
the
website
as
I
receive
it.
Planning
commission
will
likely
set
the
public
hearing
for
threshold
review
march,
which
will
take
more
comments
and
there's
always
opportunities
for
comments
at
planning,
commission
and,
as
we've
heard
tonight
at
city
council.
R
So
the
next
step
planning
commission
will
study
the
geographic
scope
and
decide
whether
to
expand
this
to
neighboring
properties
and
they
will
likely
set
a
public
hearing
in
march.
For
the
threshold
review
april
city
council
will
determine
whether
to
get
the
cpa
work
room
again.
This
is
information
only
there
is
no
action
to
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
A
O
Sure
thank
you
eating
my
valentine's
dinner
with
my
loved
ones
tonight,
all
of
you
anyway.
Yes,
I
was
listening,
though
carefully
so
yeah.
This
is,
as
we
all
know,
the
the
we
do
this
every
year
when
we
have
privately
initiated
comp
plans.
The
planning
commission
is
starting
to
get
comments.
They
had
at
least
nine
pages
of
comments
submitted
as
well
as
I
think
they
had
public
comment
at
their
meeting.
Last
week
I
had
a
couple
of
questions.
The
the
change.
O
One
of
the
questions
we
asked
threshold
review
is
whether
there's
change
significantly
changed
circumstances
and
with
the
northwest
bellevue
comp
plan.
Just
having
been
amended
last
year,
I'm
wondering
if
the
significantly
changed
circumstances
analysis
is
based
on
the
last
general
comp
plan
or
whether
it's
also
based
on
the
neighborhood
area
plan.
So
that's
a
question
for
staff.
I
just
don't
know
the
answer
to
that.
E
Yeah
I
can
go
ahead
and
answer
that
one
councilmember
robertson,
we
will
be
using
the
new
northwest
bellevue
plan
and
then,
as
you
know,
we
do
have
the
rest
of
the
comprehensive
plan
as
well,
but
we
will
be
using
that
new,
suburban
plan
that
was
adopted.
Okay.
O
It's
I
just
would
comment
that
it's
a
pretty
high
burden
to
show
substantially
changed
circumstances
when
it's
been
less
than
60
days,
since
we
adopted
that
plan
so
but
I'll
be
very,
very
curious
to
see
the
planning
commission
take
this
up
and
I'm
sure
that
they
will
do
a
yeoman's
job
of
analyzing.
The
code
requirements
on
whether
it
meets
the
standards
for
further
study
and
geographic
scoping.
O
I
D
Sense
of
the
38
comments
submitted
thus
far
on
this.
I
appreciate
you
kind
of
calling
out
the
key
issues,
but
can
you
give
me
a
a
sense
of
because
so
far
the
emails
that
I've
seen?
I
think,
there's
quite
a
bit
of
concern
regarding
regarding
this
from
loch
lehman,
as
well
as
other
parts
of
the
of
the
city,
so
our
surrounding
area.
So
can
you
give
me
a
little
bit
more
sound
the
38
and
would
you
say
are
concerned
about
this
move?
R
Yes,
I
would
say
that's
the
vast
majority
of
concerns
with
the
change
in
the
landis
category.
D
And
the
the
vast
majority
of
these
of
these
folks
are
in
a
close
proximity
to
to
this
area.
Would
you.
R
I
don't
have
addresses
for
all
of
the
commenters,
but
the
ones
that
have
submitted
their
address
are
in
close
proximity.
Yes,.
D
Okay,
great
and
then
and
I'd
excuse
me-
I'm
sure
you
mentioned
it
once
before,
but
what
are
the
additional
outreach
and
additional
opportunities
for
for
folks
to
weigh
in
on
this
as
well?
Can
you
can
you
please
describe
that
again.
R
Yes,
so
we
take
so
the
notice
goes
to
the
property
owners
within
500
feet
of
the
site
and
we
post
signage.
R
I
have
taken
phone
calls
from
people
that
have
walked
by
and
have
called
my
phone
number
from
the
sign
they
haven't
submitted,
written
comments
they've
just
and
that
we
always
take
email
comment
as
well,
which
is
posted
on
the
sign
and
in
the
you
know,
all
of
the
notice
locations.
N
Yeah,
I
just
just
wanted
to
make
it
clear
for
for
the
public
on
this
is
this
is
because
the
emails
we've
gotten
in
all
are
almost
assuming
that
the
council
could
just
stop
this
right
now.
N
The
role
is
not
for
the
council
at
this
point,
and
this
is
a
process
to
go
through
and
it's
you
know
we'll
make
a
decision
some
other
time,
and
we
welcome
all
the
comments
that
come
in
on
this,
but
just
want
to
make
sure
that
people
don't
have
an
expectation
that
somehow
or
other
we're
going
to
take
a
vote
now
and
we're
just
listening
and
the
process
will
go
forward
and
then
we
will
eventually
come
back
to
council
after
planning
conditions,
give
recommendations
and
staff
is
giving
recommendations
and
then
we'll
have
that
conversation
is
that
that's
correct
right.
E
So
the
the
next
step
is
planning
commission
to
work
on
the
so-called
geographic
scoping,
so
that
happens
on
the
23rd
planning.
Commission
then
holds
a
public
hearing
about
the
proposal
and
at
that
point
they
make
a
recommendation
to
council
that
would
come
back
likely
in
the
april
time
frame
and
that
would
be
the
threshold
decision
by
the
council.
If
you
want
to
include
it
in
the
work
program
or
not,
based
on
the
planning
commission's
recommendation
so
that
that's
a
key
decision
point.
E
A
So
the
planning
commission
meeting
in
march
and
the
city
council
meeting
in
april,
if
the
planning
commission
brings
it
to
us
to
review
right,
they
may
not
necessarily
do
that.
E
They
will
have
a
recommendation
one
way
or
the
other
so
we'll
be
bringing
their
recommendation
whatever.
It
is
to
you
in
the
in
the
april
time
period
right.
A
Q
I
got
a
question
about
the
councilmember
robertson's
question
and
the
staff's
answer:
I'm
not
sure
what
does
that
mean
when
you
said
the
old
or
the
new
comp
plan
is
to
use
as
the
baseline
whatever?
How
does
that
affect
the
reason?
The
requirements
tpa
review.
E
Yeah,
so
the
the
city
is
broken
down
into
a
series
of
sub
areas.
This
property
is
in
the
northwest
bellevue
sub
area
that
that
sub
area
was
the
focus
of
the
northwest,
bellevue
neighborhood
area
planning,
effort
that
occurred
over
the
past
year
and
a
half
or
so
so
that
plan
was
adopted
by
council
in
the
december
time
frame
of
2021,
so
that
sub-area
is
the
so-called
new
sub-area
in
place
for
that
that
geography
of
the
city
there
still
is
the
rest
of
the
entire
comp
plan.
E
So
this
is
a
a
part
of
the
overall
so-called
comp
plan
that
pertains
to
that
sub-area,
but
we
still
have
all
the
other
elements
of
the
general
elements
of
the
plan
as
well.
That
would
be
pertinent
to
this
discussion,
so
hopefully
that
clarifies
the
previous
northwest
bellevue
sub
area
and
the
new
one
that
council
adopted
in
december.
E
I
believe
councilmember
robertson
was
referring
to
one
of
the
threshold
decision
criteria
about
change
circumstances,
which
will
be
one
that
we'll
be
walking
the
planning
commission
through
in
the
coming
month
or
so
so
that
councilman
robertson
was
good
to
point
out
that
that
is
a
key
one
of
the
key
decision
criteria
there
for
threshold
review.
Q
O
What
I
meant
was,
as
you
know,
one
of
the
things
that
the
planning
commission
will
determine
when
they
at
the
initial
hearing
in
march.
The
recommendation
they
will
make
is
whether
we
should
include
this
in
the
in
the
work
plan
and
that
decision
is
called
threshold
review,
and
I
don't
have
the
code
in
front
of
me
or
have
it
memorized,
but
always
the
tricky
component
to
that
has
to
be
satisfied
for
something
to
get
put
onto.
The
work
plan
is
that
the
applicant
has
to
show
change
circumstances
and
it's
changed
circumstances.
O
Since
the
comp
plan
was
last
updated
and
since
we
just
updated
the
comp
plan
about
60
days
ago
for
this
sub
area,
it's
difficult.
In
my
opinion,
it
will
be
a
challenge
for
them
to
show
that
there's
been
substantially
changed.
Circumstances
in
the
last
60
days
that
weren't
us
changing
the
comp
plan.
That
was
that.
Q
Just
assuming
that
the
new
new,
what's
the
word
new
plan
or
new
update,
is
the
same
as
the
old
one
right
so.
A
Good
time
to
ask
questions,
but
we're
not
going
to
have
a
full
discussion
of
it.
Have
you
finished
your
questions?
Councilmember
lee
yeah?
I
have
thank
you.
Okay,
councilmember
stokes,.
N
Yeah,
I
think
I
mean
we
don't
want
to
prejudge
this
in
any
way,
or
I
mean
to
me.
This
is
not
it's
just
a
conversation
and
we
should
give
the
planning
commission
full
scope
to
come
up
with
their
do
their
conversations
and
come
up
with
their
decision,
and
then
we
can
weigh
in
on
which
of
these
factors
are
more
important
than
the
others.
I'm
just
a
little
concerned.
We
don't
start
making
you
know
kind
of
in
influencing
the
decisions.
I.
A
We
anybody
else
have
good
questions
about
the
process.
We've
seen
the
timeline,
I
think
it's
pretty
clear
as
to
where
the
pivot
points
are
on
that
I'm
looking
forward
to
seeing
what
the
planning
commission
recommends.
Okay.
Moving
on,
we
have
another
study
session
item.
Mr
mccommon,
would
you
like
to
introduce.
P
S
Well,
thank
you,
deputy
city
manager,
mcconnell
and
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
council
members,
and
I
would
like
to
introduce
you
to
chris
iverson,
who
is
the
project
manager
for
the
curb
management
plan
and
career
management,
is
an
emerging
issue
and
bellevue
has
been
at
the
forefront
most
notably
through
our
selection
by
transportation
for
america
back
in
2020,
along
with
boston
and
minneapolis,
to
study,
curb
behavior,
and
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Chris.
S
The
purpose
of
this
work
session
tonight
is
both
a
to
let
the
council
and
the
public
know
that
this
body
of
work
is
about
to
begin,
but
we
also
have
two
specific
asks.
The
first
is
for
the
council
to
refer
this
work
to
the
transportation
commission
and
the
second
one
is
to
to
refer
potential
complain,
language
to
the
planning
commission
and
the
transportation
commission,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
chris.
T
Right,
thank
you
andrew
may
robinson,
w
mayor
noonhouse
members
of
council.
Thank
you
for
having
me
to
discuss
curb
management.
So
just
a
quick
agenda
for
tonight,
we'll
kind
of
do
a
quick
overview
of
the
project
at
hand,
review
the
approach
to
the
work
that
we're
conducting
and
begin
discussing
the
comprehensive
plan,
amendments
that
pertain
to
this
project,
specifically
so
kind
of
before
we
get
going
on
the
actual
material.
I
think
it's
important
to
kind
of
get
grounded,
so
everybody
is
aware
of
the
concept
of
curve
management.
T
As
andrew
alluded,
this
is
a
it's
a
it's
sort
of
a
twist
on
a
on
a
decades-old
concept.
We
are
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
best
optimize
our
city
right-of-way
for
the
myriad
of
use
cases
that
we
experience,
and
this
quote
from
the
institute
of
transportation
engineers,
I
think,
puts
it
very,
very
well.
Curbside
management
seeks
to
inventory
optimize,
allocate
and
manage
the
curb
space
to
maximize
mobility
and
access
for
the
wide
variety
of
curb
demands.
T
So
when
we
talk
about
curb
management
historically,
you
can
think
about
curb
management
as
some
something
as
simple
as
on-street
parking
activation
for
bus
stops.
Travel
lanes,
but
especially
in
the
last
10
years,
we've
seen
this
growth
of
new
mobility
services
like
uber
and
lyft
ride
share
services
in
the
last
few
years,
especially
before
the
pandemic,
we
saw
several
employers
start
running
their
own
shuttles.
T
The
images
on
the
bottom
of
this
slide
kind
of
show,
just
as
a
spattering
of
those
use
cases
ranging
from
transit
and
bicycle
access
to
pick
up
and
drop
off
zones
to
some
of
the
more
place,
making
and
activation
concepts
like
on-street
dining,
which
is
the
image
in
the
top
left
that
a
very
successful
pilot
project
that
was
launched
at
old
bellevue
last
summer.
So
these
are
all
uses
of
the
curb
and
it's
important
to
start
becoming
a
little
bit
more
deliberate
with
how
we
conduct
our
our
our
city
business
at
in
this
space.
T
So
I
think
it
begs
the
question:
why
are
we
approaching
this
now?
Why
are
we
deciding
to
engage
in
the
development
of
this
curve
management
plan?
I
think
there's
three
main
takeaways
here.
The
first
one
simply
is
that
bellevue
is
growing
very
quickly,
especially
in
our
urban
core
neighborhoods
of
downtown
bel,
red
wilberton
and
east
main,
and
because
of
this
growth,
it's
placing
new
and
growing
burdens
on
our
infrastructure.
As
we
all
know,
and
this
translates
to
placing
burdens
on
the
curbside.
T
So
as
we
think
about
curb
management,
it's
going
to
become
more
and
more
important
to
be
deliberate
about
how
to
prioritize
and
manage
these
spaces
kind
of
on
a
more
national
scale.
Again
I
mentioned
this
before
the
increase
of
new
mobility
services
place
these
burdens
at
the
curbside
that
were
traditionally
just
used
for
private
vehicle
movement
or
basic
uses.
T
And
finally,
you
know
again
the
especially
in
the
last
two
years,
some
of
the
responses
to
the
kova
19
pandemic,
like
some
of
the
food
priority,
pickup
zones
that
were
installed
in
old
bellevue
and
the
alfresco
on
street
dining
program
have
inspired
innovative
strategies
in
curbside
areas
to
kind
of
think
about
how
we
use
rights
of
way
a
little
bit
differently
to
add
to
the
livability
of
the
city.
T
The
the
body
of
this
work
will
tackle
a
lot
of
different
things,
and
this
is
just
a
summary
of
some
of
the
scoping
items
that
are
part
of
this
plan.
T
So
to
speak,
of
the
of
the
actual
project,
the
the
contextualized
prioritization
framework
for
curb
use.
That's
really
speaking
to
how
we
should
figure
out
ways
to
be
more
specific
and
deliberate
about
which
streets
and
which
street
typologies
should
receive
a
very
specific
curb
use.
If
we
have
an
arterial
street,
for
example,
we
might
want
to
prioritize
movement
if
we
have
a
more
local
street
with
retail
activity,
that's
something
that
could
be
better
suited
for
place
making
or
other
uses.
T
So
as
we
get
into
the
development
of
this
project,
that
will
be
a
very
important
component.
One
of
the
other
components,
too,
is
analyzing
options
to
establish
an
actual
dedicated
curve
management
program.
To
help
manage
these
various
curve
uses
right
now.
The
way
that
the
city
conducts
business
at
the
curbside
is
relatively
ad
hoc,
it's
more
reactionary
by
nature
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
kind
of
be
proactive
and
more
long
range
with
our
thinking
about
how
curve
spaces
are,
are
used
and
managed.
T
The
last
two
bullets
here
are
more
more
internal
facing
and
more
practitioner
guides
than
anything
else.
A
curbside
playbook
will
help
both
internal
and
external
stakeholders
kind
of
know
where
to
go
and
sort
of
streamline
a
lot
of
these
processes
at
the
city
level
for
how
to
activate
or
change
curb
uses,
and
then
we'll
ultimately
have
an
organizational
and
staffing
framework
recommendation
within
the
plan
itself
to
figure
out
how
we
can
actually
roll
this
out
over
time.
T
The
next
two
images
are
were
developed
by
our
consulting
team.
They
do
a
good
job
of
illustrating
kind
of
the
wide
variety
of
use
cases
at
the
curb,
because
what
we're
talking
about
is
really
infrastructure
management
and
with
pork
curd
management
that
really
has
ripple
effects
on
in
multiple
ways.
So
the
image
on
the
left
side
of
this
image,
you
can
see
here
that
the
yellow
vehicle
stopped
in
the
middle
of
the
of
the
travel
lane
and
is
now
blocking
blocking
a
bus.
T
T
The
other
thing
about
career
management
is
that
again,
it
is
tied
to
infrastructure
very
directly
and
the
way
that
we've
historically
developed
our
rights
of
way
have
been
to
accommodate
peak
traffic
volumes.
So
because
of
this,
we
have
to
really
sort
of
plan
for
this
high
level
of
demand
and
therefore,
curbs
are
often
used
as
travel
lanes,
especially
in
in
downtown
bellevue.
T
Now,
when
we
think
about
long
term,
some
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
see
at
the
curb
again
are
more
deliberate
uses.
So
you
can
see
here
that,
with
a
better
and
more
deliberate
curb
management
framework,
we've
not
only
been
able
to
mitigate
some
congestion,
but
we've
also
allocated
more
specific
spaces
for
ride,
share
for
e-commerce
and
freight
delivery,
and
we've
also
carved
more
space
for
electric
vehicle
charging
and
for
curbside
dining
uses.
T
With
some
of
these
efficiencies.
We
can
also
start
exploring
more
innovative
uses
of
the
curb
space
like
creating
dedicated
transit
and
bike
lanes
on
some
of
our
streets.
So,
as
we
get
into
more
long-range
thinking,
we
can
start
imagining
the
way
that
we
want
our
streets
to
look
into
the
future
again
tonight.
We're
here
asking
council
for
direction
on
two
different
items.
One
is
to
direct
transportation
commission
to
develop
policy
recommendations
through
the
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
work,
plan
process
sort
of
similar
to
the
previous
item.
T
These
happen
annually,
but
the
city
and
the
city
council
can
initiate
a
cpa
at
any
time.
That's
the
that's.
The
difference
between
the
private
initiated
and
the
city
initiated
work
plans.
So
this
is
a
city.
A
city
initiated
work
plan
that
we're
taking
direction
for
the
other
item
that
we're
seeking
direction
for
is
to
actually
have
transportation.
T
Commission
begin
developing
content
within
the
curb
management
plan
itself,
more
specifically
coming
up
with
recommendations
regarding
the
current
prioritization
framework
and
developing
some
recommendations
regarding
curb
programs,
so
that
is,
that
is
the
the
material
that
we
will
be
seeking
to
engage
with
transportation
commission
in
2022.
T
Very
briefly,
I
wanted
to
talk
about
some
of
the
more
specific
com
plan,
amendments
and
the
language
tied
to
that,
as
it
relates
to
curve
management
about
eight
or
nine
years
ago,
transportation
commission
actually
worked
with
staff
on
developing
the
downtown
transportation
plan
and
there
are
actual
language
or
there
are
actual
complaint
policies
tied
to
curve
management
within
the
downtown
sub-area
plan.
T
Again
those
are
more
reactive
to
an
environment
from
10
years
ago,
and
that's
a
big
part
of
the
reason
why
we
want
to
go
back
and
start
developing
new
language
in
reflection
of
changed
conditions.
The
other
thing,
too,
is
that
you
know
that
a
lot
of
those
policies
are
within
the
downtown
sub
area
plan
and.
E
T
Just
a
very
brief
project
timeline
again,
like
I
mentioned
before
the
last
few
months,
staff
have
been
working
with
our
consulting
team
on
developing
existing
conditions
and
having
some
kickoff
meetings
and
discussions
and
we're
going
to
start
beginning
work
on
developing
some
of
the
mean
recommendations
of
the
project
tonight
at
this
meetings,
sort
of
officially
kicks
off
our
stakeholder
and
public
engagement
process.
So
after
this
we
will
be
in
discussion
with
both
transportation
and
planning
commission.
T
Soon
we
will
be
conducting
various
focus
groups
with
interested
parties,
like
businesses,
developers
and
residents
to
try
to
get
more
information
about
what
their
experiences
at
the
curbside
are,
and
we
will
also
be
having
some
discussions
with
the
the
bellevue
downtown
association
and
the
bellevue
chamber
in
the
in
the
coming
weeks
to
introduce
this
project
at
this
stage
that
you
see,
the
project
timeline
here
goes
through
november
of
2022,
ultimately,
depending
on
workload
at
the
staff
level.
T
The
schedule
of
the
final
adoption
of
the
curve
management
plan
is
subject
to
change
pending
development
and
discussion,
so
this
is
just
a
rough
outline
of
how
we're
intending
on
approaching
this
project.
At
this
stage,.
T
Just
some
very
brief
next
steps
later
this
week,
we
will
actually
be
launching
a
public
survey
and
interactive
map
on
the
engagingbellevue.com
platform,
so
keep
your
eyes
peeled
for
that,
and
that
will
allow
us
to
start
gaining
some
public
sentiment
around
how
curve
uses
are
received
and
used
in
bellevue,
and,
like
I
mentioned
before,
we
have
some
upcoming
transportation,
commission
and
planning
commission
meetings
to
discuss
these
topics
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
andrew
for
any
concluding
thoughts.
A
You
know
when
people
ask
me
what
I
think
the
future
of
the
city
is
going
to
look
like
this
is
the
transformative
work,
that's
really
going
to
change
the
experience
of
living
in
bellevue
and
I'm
so
excited
to
see
this
huge
process
around
this,
and
I
I
know
that
all
the
restaurants
who
were
able
to
move
into
outside
dining
and
curbside
dining
pickup
and
all
that
are
really
interested
in
this
work.
So
thank
you
for
initiating
it
council
members
on.
Let's
start
with
you,
as
liaison
to
the
transportation
commission,.
C
I
was
actually
on
the
transportation
commission
when
we
worked
on
that
downtown
transportation,
sub
area
planning
and
remembering
that
we
put
in
specific
language
around
curb
management,
and
at
that
time
we
also
talked
about
how
we
might
activate
the
right-of-way
in
those
spaces.
So
literally,
we
know
that
with
cobid.
That's
the
very
thing
that
would
happen
where
we
found
a
way
to
be
able
to
activate
those
spaces
for
dining.
So
you
never
know
what
might
come
up
as
you're
imagining
in
the
plan.
So
I'm
super
excited
that
we're
launching
this
effort.
C
I
did
have
one
question
for
you,
and
that
is
that,
as
we
bring
the
consultant
on
board-
and
we
start
the
work
of
the
public
engagement
and
updating
the
plan,
is
that
going
to
include
collaboration
with
and
good
child
and
the
work
of
the
supply
chain,
transportation
and
logistics
center
at
uw,
where
their
urban
freight
lab
it
looks
like
they
have
some
final
50
feet,
tool
kit
that
is
available
for
cities,
and
I
just
wonder
if
we
have
such
an
amazing
resource
at
the
university
of
washington-
and
I
know
a
couple
of
years
ago-
they
had
done
some
pilots
with,
as
we
look
at
deliveries
of
of
goods
or
services
into
downtown,
how
we
might
look
at
delivery,
lockers
or
some
of
those
other
tools.
C
T
Yeah
great
question:
thank
you.
Councilmembers
on
the
short
answer
is
yes,
we
will
certainly
be
engaging
with
the
urban
freight
lab.
They've
actually
been
great
partners
with
staff
over
the
last
several
years.
T
You
might
recall
that
the
city
actually
was
a
partner
agency
and
a
grant
from
the
department
of
energy
a
few
years
ago
to
look
at
reducing
emissions
for
those
last
mile
delivery
systems,
and
we
also
worked
very
closely
with
the
urban
freight
lab,
as
we
did
work
regarding
our
curb
pilot
project
in
association
in
association
with
transportation
for
america.
So
we've
had
some
discussions
about
that.
I
think
that
the
main
difference,
though,
is
that
you
know
those
are.
T
They
focus
very
specifically
on
the
freight
activity,
which
is
certainly
a
large
and
important
component
of
the
curb,
but
what
we're
doing
is
certainly
more
holistic,
we're
not
just
looking
at
freight,
but
we're
looking
at
passengers,
we're
looking
at
place,
making
we're
looking
at
rethinking
art
the
way
that
we
do
parking.
So
it
is
more
comprehensive
by
nature,
so
it'll
certainly
be
an
element,
but
it
won't.
It
won't
take
the
spotlight
the
entire
time.
T
Always
looking
for
grant
funding,
of
course,
the
I
think
that
there's
some
promising
opportunities
from
the
the
federal
infrastructure
package
that
are
tied
to
technology
implementation,
especially
so,
I
think
that
all
remains
to
be
seen
what
opportunities
we
might
have.
D
Thank
you
mayor,
yes,
also
very
excited
about
this,
so
glad
that
we're
getting
on
it
and
look
forward
to
that
to
this
work,
just
a
couple
of
quick
questions
for
you,
but
again,
andrew
and
chris.
Thank
you
for
the
great
presentation.
First.
Are
you
also
going
to
be
taken
into
account
as
part
of
this
per
management
program?
New
technologies,
for
example-
maybe
autonomous,
shuttles,
autonomous
vehicles
et
cetera?
Would
that
be
part
of
this?
D
This
plan
and
discussion,
as
well
as
in
terms
of
how
that
would
fit
into
this
and
any
requirements
that
those
types
of
autonomous
vehicles
or
shuttles
might
need
in
order
to
in
order
to
to
work
within
this
career
management
plan.
S
You
know
we're
currently
working
on
a
autonomous
vehicle
vision,
plan
and
kind
of
doing
it
internally,
but
it
does
tails
really
well
with
the
curb
management
work
that
we'll
be
doing.
So.
The
answer
to
that
question
is
yes,
fantastic.
D
And
and
then
the
and
I'm
a
cyclist
always
always
happy
to
see
the
the
the
bike
lanes
there
and
I'm
just
curious.
How
does
this
mesh,
with
our
biped
plan
and
bike
network,
how?
How
will
this
work
or
or
intersect
with
with
those
existing
plans.
T
So
as
we
start
developing
the
prioritization
framework,
like
I
mentioned
before,
we're
hoping
to
reference
our
already
existing
adopted
plans
to
guide
some
of
those
recommendations,
so
both
the
pet
bike
plan,
but
also
the
transit
master
plan
and
some
of
the
elements
from
the
mobility
implementation
plan
that
is
wrapping
up
here
soon.
They'll
all
feed
into
this
curve
management
plan
kind
of
create
a
more
comprehensive
assessment
of
how
these
spaces
should
be
used.
D
Okay,
fantastic
and
then
last
question
is
really
glad
to
see
that
you're
reaching
out
to
some
of
the
key
stakeholders.
This
is
the
chamber
and
the
bda
it
sounds
like.
The
survey
will
be
the
primary
tool
in
which
businesses,
stakeholders
residents
will
be
able
to
voice
their
their
their
opinions
on
this.
So
how
are
we
going
to
widely
distribute
that?
D
What's
our
what's
our
plan
for
outreach
that
outreach
there,
so
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
hearing
from
all
the
all
the
right
parties
and
stakeholders
and
and
residents,
and
those
that
you
know-
may
have
some
expertise
in
this
area
or
want
to
share
how
how
other
cities
do
it
or
how
they've
seen
other
cities
do
it.
So
how?
How
about?
How
are
we
going
about
sharing
this
far
and
wide
across
the
city.
T
So
we
are
trying
to
get
the
word
out
simply
because
you
know
the
concept
of
curb
management
is
sort
of
a
mystery
to
the
broader
public,
and
I
think
part
of
this
is
an
educational
campaign.
It's
it's
the
it's
the
most
important
piece
of
infrastructure
that
nobody
thinks
about.
So,
in
addition
to
the
public
survey,
you
know
we'll
certainly
be
advertising
that
we
will
be
conducting
some
very
specific
focus
groups
with
interested
parties.
I
mentioned
before
businesses.
T
You
know
key
residents,
developer
interests,
mobility
activists
and
advocates
and
we're
also,
in
addition
to
the
focus
groups
going
to
be
executing
what
we're
calling
a
curb
summit
event
which
is
going
to
be
bringing
all
of
them
into
the
same
room,
to
start
workshops
and
kind
of
long-range
thinking
about
how
we
can
plan
our
streets
in
the
future.
So
those
are
the
three
main
approaches
and
I
think,
pending
how
much
reception
we
get.
We
might
retool
and
try
to
re-target
that
outreach
later
in
the
year.
Q
Thank
you.
Oh,
I
absolutely
support
this.
This
is
what
I've
been
living
working
on
for
the
last
many
many
many
years.
Timing
is
everything,
so
you
know
it's
now
happening.
Q
I
appreciate
the
presentation
that
you
know
the
last
couple
years
cover
19
really
give
us
a
lot
of
creative
way
of
doing
things,
and
when
you
talk
about
creativity,
you
talk
about
technology,
and
so,
but
despite
the
timing
is
everything
we
also.
I
like
the
emphasis
by
by
the
staff
that
we
need
to
be
proactive.
Q
We
need
to
be
ready
when
the
timing
happens.
You
know
when
opportunity
comes,
if
you're
not
ready,
you
miss
it.
So
I
believe
that
being
proactive,
we
are
ready.
We
know
what
components
what
things
we
need
to
be
looking
at,
what
partners
we
have
to
have
what
issues,
what
opportunities
we
have
to
be
engaging
and
be
prepared.
Q
So
I
really
like
it
a
lot.
I
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
a
really
exciting
thing
and
many
things
you
know
have
been
mentioned
and
we're
connecting
this
with
autonomous
vehicle
that
proves
that
vision,
zero.
You
know
that's
working
with
the
metro,
sun
transit.
You
know
all
these
folks
we're
going
to
talk
about
multi-modal
vehicles
so
with
this
technology,
including,
obviously,
current
management,
it's
very
important
peter
piece
of
it.
It's
for
the
city
to
demonstrate
with
real
partners,
real
people.
You
know
how
the
technology
can
work
to
benefit.
Q
You
know
our
partners
and
stakeholders,
so
I
think
we're
talking
about
the
safety
vision,
zero,
multimodal
system,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
forget
our
stakeholders
being
businesses.
You
know
I
mean
one
for
clear.
Definite
inclusion
is
amazon.
You
know
I
mean
we
talk
about
e-delivery
and
all
that
stuff
and
they're
bigging
this
and
they're
working
towards
us,
even
if
the
city
doesn't,
but
we
are
very
key
part
of
making
it
work.
Q
So
I
think
these
are
the
folks,
including
metro,
sound
transit
and
many
many
electric
vehicle
businesses
and
they
have
a
technology
all
ready
to
go,
but
they
need
a
place
to
play.
I
think
bellevue
is
the
ideal
place.
We
are
ready
to
play,
we're
ready
to
be
the
pilot
to
show
that
this
can
work.
So
that's
why,
working
with
the
chamber
with
the
public,
you
know
the
technology
has
to
be
accepted
and
to
be
accepted.
Q
They
need
to
see
that
you
know
it's,
it's
it's
good
it
it's,
it
can
work
work
well
and
they
see
the
benefit.
So
I
really
believe
that
this
is
a
very
exciting
thing
that
can
lead
to
a
lot
of
great
stuff,
and
one
thing
you
know
when
also
was
asked
about
federal
funding.
Absolutely
I
think
federal
government
needs
to
use
this
as
a
model
to
show
the
rest
of
the
country.
Q
You
know
how
he
could
work
with
the
urban
environment
with
the
with
the
transportation
environment
that
you
know
we're
looking
at,
which
is
going
to
be
heavily
technology
based
and
that
will
show
how
we
can
address
our
transportation
system
as
well.
So
I'm
really
excited
about
this.
I
see
the
potential
and
I
see
that
we
need
to
be
proactive.
That's
the
reason
why
you
know
we
talked
about
it
a
number
of
years
ago
and
but
you
know
we're
waiting,
but
just
now.
Q
O
Thank
you
yeah.
I,
like
my
colleagues,
I've
been
excited
to
have
this
come
to
council
and
have
made
sure
it
was
in
the
work
plan
and
when
we
did
our
last
budget
in
2020.
So
yes,
the
question
is:
do
we
have
support
on
the
council
to
initiate
a
comprehensive
plan?
Amendment
work
plan,
my
vote
on?
That
would
be
yes,
but
I
want
to
have
a
couple
of
comments.
So
I
think
that
deputy
mayor
raised
really
interesting
point
about
tech
that
got
me
thinking.
O
There's
there's.
I
definitely
think
we
need
to
be
looking
at
the
high-tech
autonomous
vehicles,
but
we
should
also
be
looking
at
how
we
can
use
technology
to
make
the
curb
work
better.
Not
just
will
it
work
for
an
autonomous
vehicle,
but
how
can
we
do
geotagging
or
geonetting
or
letting
people
know
when
they're
using
their
apps?
O
So
that's
one
two
on
the
making
sure
that
we
have
the
impacts
on
pens
and
bikes
taken
into
consideration,
whether
it's
if
we
need
to
put
a
whole
bunch
of
signs-
and
you
know
kiosks
in
the
work
in
the
in
the
sidewalk-
making
sure
that
we
do
that
in
a
way
that
works
for
pedestrians,
making
sure
that
we
don't
put
parking
where
the
door
swing
zone
is
going
to
kneecap
a
bicyclist
when
they're
going
by
in
the
bike
lane
those
kind
of
things
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
make
all
the
users
use
the
road
and
sidewalk
space
in
a
way.
O
That's
harmonious
the
one
of
the
things
I
also
thought
about.
I
was
looking
at
these
comp
plan
policies
and
it
talked
about
curb
size
basis
for
curbside
spaces.
For
you
know,
there's
opportunities
here,
particularly
as
we
do
outreach
with
the
business
community
and
development
community
that
we
could
create
or
not.
We
could
create
people
who
have
private
property
in
the
areas
where
there's
a
lot
of
need
for
this
could
create
pick
up
drop-offs
and
that
might
be
very
good
for
their
business.
O
If
they
have
a
you
know,
uber
lyft,
drop-off,
pickup
zone
or
a
package.
A
lot
of
private
businesses
are
doing
that
already
with
the
grocery
stores
you
can
park
or
the
any
retail
stores
park
here
and
they'll
bring
your
delivery
out
that
all
started
during
covents.
So
we
don't
want
to
overlook
that
as
a
resource
as
we're
looking
for
ways
to
serve
this
need
so
and
then
just
oh.
We
want
to
think
about
idling
if
we're
creating
a
lot
of
spaces
for
people
to
wait.
O
So
we
want
to
think
about
how
we
can
provide
the
space
without
creating
a
lot
of
excess
emissions
from
cars
sitting
there
idling
for
way
too
long
and
then
finally,
the
the
we're
going
to
want
to
look-
and
this
is
way
down
the
road,
but
we're
going
to
want
to
figure
out
how
we
can
do
this
in
a
way
like
I
already
talked
about
urban
design,
but
that's
enforceable
where,
whether
it's
paint
or
signage,
we
need
to
make
sure
that,
at
the
end
of
the
at
the
end
of
the
line
after
we've
done
all
this,
that
are
all
of
our
codes
work
together,
so
that
the
parking
code,
traffic
code
work
with
the
goals
and
policies
we're
trying
to
create,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
that's
that's
where
the
enforcement
will
come
from
so
and-
and
if
this
is
also
going
to
be
something.
O
I
guess
that
we're
looking
at
asking
people
who
are
developing
new
facilities
to
add
that's
on
their
part
of
the
property
line.
We
should
maybe
consider
an
incentive
system
for
that
to
create
a
public
space
on
their
property.
It
benefits
their
property,
but
it
also
benefits
the
general
public.
M
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor,
didn't
know.
I
could
get
someone
to
be
so
interested
in
curbs,
but
this
is
an
interesting
topic.
After
all,
I
do
support
the
the
requested
direction
here
and
I
actually
have
seen
people
stopping
on
bellevue
way
to
let
somebody
out
or
to
pick
for
somebody
to
get
into
the
car
and
stop
traffic
in
the
far
right
lane.
M
So
I
think
it's
a
definitely
a
need,
a
couple
things
that
I
wanted
that
I'm
interested
in
seeing
so
as
we
think
about
like
our
community-based
organizations,
especially
cultural
organizations
and
and
festivals,
and
other
other
events
that
allow
for
the
community
to
come
together.
M
I
think
it'd
be
interesting
to
make
sure
or
factor
that
into
this
curve
management
program,
so
that
we
unders
we
can
figure
out
how
that
interfaces
with
the
curve,
as
people
are
moving
between
the
street
and
the
curve
during
those
events,
and
maybe
makes
it
easier
to
set
the
street
up
for
festivals
or
other
types
of
events,
and
then
the
other
piece
is.
M
I
was
curious
about
how
we
don't
have
to
discuss
this
part,
but
how
the
observation,
I
think,
there's
an
opportunity
to
leverage
tactical
urbanism
more
generally,
whether
that's
for
understanding
how
people
move
through
so
maybe
on
a
less
busier
street
setting
up
certain
things
like
events
that
sort
of
allow
people
to
move
through
and
see
how
they
experience
the
curb
or
I'll
leave
it
there.
That's
really
all
I
ask
thank
you.
R
N
Yeah,
I
think
this
has
been
a
very,
very
good
conversation.
I
really
appreciate
the
work
on
the
comprehensive
plan
amendment
and
it
is
really
moving
us
into
addressing
current
and
future
needs
and,
as
some
other
people
have
said
it
that
you
know
we're
just
not
looking
back
at
the
plans
we
did
10
years
ago.
N
Things
have
changed
a
little
bit,
so
I'm
very
excited
about
this,
and
I
appreciate
the
particularly
a
couple
of
questions
that
the
deputy
mayor
brought
up
at
the
beginning
to
look
at
those,
and
I
think
this
is
great
look
forward
to
seeing
it
go
forward
and
would
support
it
wholeheartedly.
A
T
That
is
correct.
Yeah
we
have
obma
identified
in
our
focus.
Group
involves
a
handful
of
retailers
in
that
area.
D
Certainly,
is
I
moved
to
direct
staff
to
initiate
the
cpa
proposals
into
the
2022
cpa
work
program
to
incorporate
policies
in
the
transportation
element
and
downtown
sub-area
plan
related
to
curb
management
and
to
direct
work
with
the
transportation
commission,
the
community
and
staff
to
prepare
a
curb
management
plan
recommendation
to
council?
Second,.
A
All
those
favors
hi
hi
opposed
okay,
terrific
that
passes,
so
I
want
yeah.
Thank
you,
andrew
and
chris
and
kate.
I
want
to
tell
everybody
that
we
are
canceling
the
february
22nd
meeting
it's
spring
break.
We
are
missing
a
number
of
council
members
and
there
wasn't
a
whole
lot
of
things
on
the
agenda
that
we
could
do
with
a
with
a
small
group.
So
we're
