If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
A
We
are
going
to
begin,
but
we're
going
to
start
because
chair
of
the
Planning
Commission
is
here
and
there
are
some
issues
that
she
needs
to
get
to
so
we're
gonna
bump
the
Planning
Commission
to
the
top
of
the
agenda,
because
development
services
fees
are
always
last
so
I,
don't
believe
we
need
a
approval
of
the
agenda,
so
we
are
going
to
move
out
of
order
and
take
items,
B
and
C
first
item
B
is
the
2019
annual,
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
CPA
and
then
item
C
is
going
forward.
Do
I?
A
B
Council
members,
if
I,
could
ask
Commissioner
Morris
o2
to
step
up
to
the
table
as
well
as
the
staff
appreciate
that
and
just
by
way
of
background
the
2019
annual
plan
amendment
is
a
city
initiated
comprehensive
transportation
project
with
CPA
and
tonight
staff
will
provide
an
overview.
This
compound
amendment
and
then
you'll
also
hear
from
the
Planning
Commission
Chair
on
under
the
recommendation
on
this
particular
item.
B
The
Planning
Commission
has
held
public
hearings
on
this
and
is
prepared
to
provide
recommendation
to
the
council
this
evening
after
you,
in
which
you
hear
the
recommendation
is
that
the
request
is
for
the
council
to
provide
some
direction
to
bring
this
back
at
a
future
meeting
on
your
agenda.
So
tonight
we're
pleased
to
have
a
morsel.
The
Commission
chair
with
us
this
evening.
B
C
I
can
just
say
just
a
few
words
is
introduction,
so
thank
you,
city
manager,
Miyake,
and
thank
you
for
having
us
tonight
here,
mayor,
chillin,
AK
and
the
rest
of
Council.
The
Bellevue
Comprehensive
Plan
is
a
really
important
guiding
document
for
the
city,
so
we
we
take
great
care
and
amendments
to
it.
We
have
one
last
remaining
proposal
as
part
of
the
annual
amendment
process.
It's
relating
to
the
comprehensive
transportation
project
list.
That's
actually
in
volume
two.
C
D
Amendment
process
that
took
place
in
July,
the
the
Planning
Commission
held
a
September
study
session
and
an
October
public
hearing
on
the
proposals
to
amend
the
conference
to
plan
essentially
and
and
chair.
More
so
is
going
to
go
into
detail.
But
essentially
you
are
swapping
out
and
replacing
some
of
the
project
list
components
of
volume,
2
of
the
Comprehensive
Plan.
E
The
Commission
recommends
approval
this
proposed
amendment
because
the
application
satisfies
all
land
use
code,
decision
criteria
for
final
review
of
a
city
initiated
comprehensive
plan
amendment
luc
2030,
I
dot
150,
the
Planning
Commission
found
the
Planning
Commission's
recommendation
found
that
all
of
the
final
review
decision
criteria
had
been
met,
noting
that
the
amendment
is
consistent
with
the
Comprehensive
Plan,
because
it
is
a
functional
policy
component
of
the
overall
plan
implementation.
It
addresses
the
interest
and
change
needs
of
the
entire
city,
because
it
is
responsive
to
the
city's
plan
for
coordinating
capital
investment
with
growth.
A
So
this
really
helps
us
to
implement
the
Eastgate
plan
that
we
have
adopted
along
the
way,
and
these
are
transportation
elements
that
will
be
amending
into
the
plan.
Some
decision
points
that
needed
to
be
made
as
as
I
understand
that,
as
liaison
to
planning
I'm
very
comfortable
with
this.
Mr.
Stokes,
you
served
on
the
East
Gate
planning
committee.
Any
questions
as
this
advance
is
that
I.
F
Was
the
parks
board
representative
on
the
citizen
advisory
committee?
What's
been
2009
of
10?
Wasn't
it
yeah
and
and
councilmember
Robertson
was
the
liaison
for
the
council
at
that
time
and
no
I
think
it's
been
a
great
process
and
I'm
really
excited
to
see
things
we
moving
forward
in
that
you
know.
Obviously,
the
transportation
project
list
was
very
old
when
it
came
through,
and
this
was
a
great
opportunity
to
move
things
forward.
F
It's
it's
good,
seeing
this
all
come
together
and
we've
had
a
lot
of
input
from
the
public,
so
it's
very
responsive
to
that
and
I
think
it's
a
and
also
wanted
to
compliment
the
Planning
Commission
for
going
through
this
in
a
very
expeditious
and
very
thorough
manner.
So
this
is,
it's
really
exciting
to
see
it
go
forward.
I
don't
have
any
questions,
because
I
think
it's
laid
out
very
well
just
get
them
done
in
the
next
couple
years.
Nobody
really
happened.
F
G
A
D
A
I
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
clarify
CTP
l21
is
a
Legacy
Project
description
from
the
previous
adoption
of
the
comprehensive
transportation
project
list
that
laid
out
several
options
for
consideration
for
intersection
improvements
at
150th
and
Eastgate.
The
East
Gate
Transportation
Study
clarified
the
preferred
option
and
and
has
articulated
that
in
CTP
l19.
I
H
H
Nothing
else
that
we
need
to
do
No,
so
I'm,
very
comfortable
with
this
I'm
really
excited
about
all
of
these
transportation
changes
to
East,
Gate
area
factory
area,
I
think
that
they
will
be
very
helpful.
That
area
is
very
congested
and
in
the
as
the
mayor
said
last
week,
let's
get
her
done
thanks.
Mr.
J
Belly
transmitting
a
study
has
been
going
on
for
a
long
time,
20
years
and
its
really
great
to
see.
Ultimately,
it's
coming
to
you
know
great
fruition
and
Transportation
Commission
liaison
the
Commission
actually
see
the
benefit.
You
know
and
the
wonderful
thing
that
the
Planning
Commission,
ultimately
you
know
recommends,
is
transportation
element
the
focus
approval,
it's
the
close
relationship,
close
working
relationship
between
the
two,
it's
very
important,
and
so
they
noted
that
Transportation,
Commission
and
Planning
Commission
haven't
met
for
a
long
time.
So
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
thing.
J
E
K
L
We'll
say:
congratulations,
something's,
like
a
chair,
the
Planning
Commission
I
too,
am
very
comfortable
with
this,
so
I'll
just
add
on
I.
Think
it's
great.
This
is
an
area.
That's
that
desperately
needs
these
kinds
of
projects
as
you're
all
aware
of
so
very
comfortable
moving
forward
with
this
and
again,
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work.
I'm.
M
I'm
excited
too
cuz,
then,
when
I
was
on
the
Transportation
Commission,
this
was
one
of
the
areas
we
really
looked
at
and
in
fact,
some
of
the
projects
we
move
forward
with
with
the
neighborhood
congestion
relief
was
to
potentially
do
some
studies
and
look
at
this
and
and
look
at
it
as
a
whole
area
study
instead
of
any
one
intersection
and
so
I'm
excited
to
move
this
forward.
I
would
my
one
comment
would
be
as
I
look
at
the
Bellevue
college
connection
and
how
this
piece
moves
forward.
A
Thanks
good
so
I'm
hearing
that
there
is
consensus
to
move
this
forward
to
adoption
of
the
ordinance
on
a
future
council
agenda,
I
think
that'll
have
to
be
in
the
probably
in
the
land-use
section
of
the
ordinance
while
everybody
spoken
favorably
on
on
the
ordinance
I
think
we
do
need
to
do
it
there
again.
Thanks
for
the
work
all
thank
you
even
more
for
the
next
report
and
I
think
the
direction
is
to
bring
that
back.
Are
we
looking
at
bringing
that
back
on
the
meeting
of
the
third
or
the
tenth?
D
A
Sorry,
nine,
okay,
okay,
sounds
great.
Thank
you
very
much
and
the
next
one
deals
with
the
issue
that
we
have
had
with
recurring
comprehensive
plan,
amendments
that
are
privately
initiated
coming
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
then
going
away
at
the
threshold
review.
Point
Council
was
very
interested
in
coming
up
with
a
solution
to
that
issue
and
I
know:
staff
did
a
lot
of
research
on
that
presented
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
mr.
Miyake
I.
Will
let
you
add
anything
more
that
you
want
to
add
and.
B
I
would
just
add
a
little
background
that
this
request
that
came
from
the
council
was
at
the
June
17th
meeting,
where
the
council
discussed
annual
2019
compound
amendment,
work
program,
recommendations
and
just
to
reiterate
what
you
said.
Council
members
at
that
time
requested
the
community
development
staff
and
a
Planning
Commission
to
return
with
recommendation
with
an
overall
plan
on
the
amendment
review
process
through
the
land
use
code.
B
Again
after
the
presentation
by
the
Planning
Commission,
we
are
looking
for
some
direction
on
whether
or
not
to
bring
this
back
on
a
future
council
meeting
agenda
and
so
again
I
would
joining
us
this
evening.
Is
the
chair
and
Marcy
at
the
table
stepping
up
the
table
to
see
me
as
Matt
Cummins,
the
Community,
Development,
Director
and
again
Neil
King
assistant
directors
here
that
I'll
turn
over
to
the
team?
For
for
the
discussion
and
presentation?
B
N
You
city
manager,
Malky
I'll,
make
a
couple
of
brief
introductory
remarks.
The
city
manager
and
the
mayor
both
mentioned
that
the
council
directed
the
staff
to
look
at
this
issue
over
the
the
second
half
of
the
year.
You
all
may
recall
there
was
some
question
about
whether
or
not
this
could
be
studied
and
looked
at
and
finished
before
the
end
of
the
year,
and
that's
going
to
happen
pending
your
discussion
this
evening.
N
If
there's
clear
direction
to
move
forward
and
bring
something
back
to
you
here
in
December,
there
are
three
main
elements
of
the
process
that
we
looked
at
when
we
were
taking
a
look
at
this
issue
of
privately
initiated
CPAs
and
their
effect
on
the
overall
process
and
some
of
the
comments
that
we've
been
hearing
over
the
last
several
years
in
general.
Those
comments
fall
into
a
couple
of
things
or
areas.
One
would
be
length
of
time.
N
The
second
is
clarifying
neighborhood
planning
and
CPAs,
and
how
those
two
things
interact
with
each
other
and
there's
a
specific
proposal
in
your
material
this
evening
to
not
accept
CPAs
in
a
year
that
a
neighbourhood
plan
is
being
processed
and
then
the
third
element,
which
is
the
one
that's
most
highly
discussed,
is
the
length
of
time
that
someone
would
have
to
wait
and
I.
Think
the
council
is
aware.
N
But
we
did
some
research
on
the
types
of
applications
that
have
come
in
over
the
last
ten
years
and
there
have
been
46
privately
initiated
applications
over
that
time
period
and
60%
of
those
or
27
were
withdrawn
right
before
the
trigger
date.
So
significantly
more
than
half
were
submitted,
then
withdrawn
right
before
the
point
in
time
where
they
would
have
triggered
that
three-year
date.
So
this
is
the
problem
the
council
asked
us
to
solve.
C
Looking
back
what
happened
over
the
past
ten
years
with
the
types
of
privately
initiated
amendments
that
have
come
in,
we
reached
out
to
a
number
of
cities
to
figured
out
what
their
processes
were
and
if
we
could
learn
anything
from
their
processes
and
we
have
a
number
of
staff
who
are
both
new
to
the
department
that
had
some
some
good
ideas,
as
well
as
staff
who
have
been
around
for
a
number
of
annual
CPA
cycles.
So
what
kind
of
a
lessons
learned
from
what's
happened?
C
In
the
past
we
held
the
study
session
with
the
Planning
Commission,
as
well
as
a
public
hearing
on
October
23rd.
The
materials
were
out
at
the
beginning
of
October,
so
there's
plenty
of
time
for
the
public
to
kind
of
see
what
was
being
proposed,
and
tonight
we
are
seeking
direction
from
the
council
to
return
just
in
the
coming
weeks,
with
an
ordinance
that
would
put
this
land-use
code
amendment
into
effect.
C
So
it's
actually
a
land
use
code
amendment,
that
is
where
the
annual
Comprehensive
Plan
process
is
laid
out
and
just
to
affirm
that
this
process
is
for
what
are
called
privately
initiated,
comprehensive
plan
amendments.
This
in
no
way
affects
the
council's
ability
to
initiate
what
are
called
city
initiated
plan
amendments,
so
just
to
be
crystal
clear
about
that.
So
with
that
I'll
hand
it
over
to
chair
more
so.
E
As
mentioned
by
mr.
miyagi
and
by
mr.
Cummins
in
June,
the
City
Council
directed
staff
and
the
Planning
Commission
to
examine
whether
amendments
to
the
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
process
are
necessary
to
respond
to
changing
needs
or
conditions
of
the
city
which
have
been
identified
in
the
review
process
for
privately
initiated
amendments
with
the
following
concern:
the
use
of
the
3-year
limitation
decision
criteria
in
practice
acknowledging
the
uncertainty
caused
by
reviewing
site-specific
plan
amendment
proposals
during
great
neighborhoods
work
and
express
neighborhood
frustration
about
the
disruptive
frequency
of
plan
amendments.
E
The
proposed
Luca
is
intended
to
address
these
concerns
and
to
maintain
the
integrity
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
process,
the
Commission's
recommendation,
is
a
solution
that
addresses
all
stakeholders
interest
and
continues.
The
plan
amendment
process
goal
at
reaching
committee
based
decisions
about
how
our
city
will
continue
to
grow.
On
behalf
of
the
Planning
Commission
I
am
pleased
to
present
the
Commission's
recommendation
and
propose
amendments
to
the
text
of
the
land-use
code
for
section
2030
I
governing
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
processes
and
email
will
take
us
to
that.
C
So
I'll
briefly
walk
you
through
the
three
amendments
that
are
being
proposed
tonight.
The
the
first
one
relates
to
the
what's
called
the
three-year
rule,
or
the
3-year
limitation.
So
historically,
we've
had
that
measured
at
time
of
threshold
review.
The
recommendation
from
the
Commission
is
to
have
it
apply
from
point
of
application.
So
that's
in
a
nutshell.
What
that
recommendation
is.
It
would
also
apply
to
any
properties
that
are
added
to
that
annual
amendment
through
a
geographic
scoping
process
that
occurs
near
the
threshold
review.
C
The
second
point
of
the
recommendation
is
to
not
allow
privately
initiated
plan
amendments
to
occur
during
what's
called
our
great
neighborhoods
or
what
previously
was
called
the
neighborhood
area
planning
process.
So
that
would
be
a
new
element
of
the
of
the
code
process
for
the
annual
amendments
and
the
the
third
one
would
be
to
change
the
timing
of
when
we
accept
applications
from
the
from
the
public
and
right
now
that
occurs
December
in
January,
so
December
1st,
through
January
31st.
C
E
The
Commission
receives
testimony
about
the
need
for
clarity
in
the
amendment
process
that
the
community
applicants
and
many
stakeholders
found
exhausting
the
Commission's
review.
Anonym
and
unanimous
vote
on
the
CPA
Luka
reflects
a
thorough
study
of
the
proposed
amendment
and
the
application
of
the
decision
criteria.
All
of
the
dust
all
of
the
testimony
was
in
favor
of
the
proposed
amendment,
including
monitoring
the
ongoing
application
of
plan.
Amendment
regulations
such
as
the
City
and
Planning
Commission,
is
currently
doing
right
now.
E
Therefore,
the
Planning
Commission
recommends,
by
a
vote
of
6,
to
nothing
that
the
City
Council
adopt
a
proposal
to
amend
the
text
of
the
land
use
code
Luca
for
the
annual
comprehensive
plan
amendment
process
at
L.
You
see
chapter
2030
I
to
include
the
following
amendments
to
the
initiation
of
proposal,
section
for
consideration
of
the
3-year
limitation
decision
criterion,
amendment
to
the
timing
of
applications
of
Middle's
and
amendments,
the
scope
and
background
section
for
review
of
great
neighborhoods
area.
A
F
On
the
first
one,
so
what
this
this
means
is
that,
once
you
come
in
for
consideration
of
amendment
proposals
and
filed
that
at
the
beginning
of
the
plan
amendment
and
if
you
would
draw
you
can't
come
back
the
next
year,
you
come
back
in
three
years
right.
So
it
applies
the
three-year
rule
to
all
applications
consistently.
C
And
it
is
at
point
of
application
instead
of
at
the
threshold
review,
which
we're
all
used
to
staff
does
offer
basically
time
with
potential
applicants
so
just
coming
in
and
talking
to
community
development
staff
about
their
ideas
for
things
it's
you
are
not
penalized
for
reaching
out
to
staff
and
kind
of
thinking
through
your
idea.
It's
at
the
point
of
saying
this
is
what
I
want
to
go
with
and
making
a
formal
application.
That's
when
the
the
three-year
rule
would
kick
in.
F
Okay-
and
this
would
be
probably
well-
it
shifts
the
the
conversations
between
developers
in
the
community
in
a
way
I
mean
the
way
it
is
now.
Somebody
applies,
and
some
time
goes
by,
and
then
they
start
working
with
the
proposal
to
the
community
and
there's
some
feedback
from
the
community.
When
something
happens
they
and
they
decide
not
to
do
it
as
long
as
they
withdraw
before
the
end
of
the
year
of
the
term
term,
they
can
come
back
the
next
year.
F
C
F
Anything
and
so
at
the
Planning
Commission
I
assume
that
one
of
the
conversations
was
this
much.
This
would
help
foster.
Maybe
discussions
earlier
then
has
taken
place,
so
things
are
quite
baked
once
they
come
in
and
there
would
be
more
discussion
between
the
community
and
the
developers
to
what
you
know.
F
Oh.
This
is
September
15th.
That
seems
to
make
a
lot
of
sense.
It's
really
getting
it
in
instead
that
into
the
earth
Franek
how
that
goes.
So
that's
good.
The
last
question
I
had
was
just
in
terms
of
consideration
on
the
great
neighborhoods
planning
either.
You
know
we
talked
a
lot
about
that.
We
want
that
to
be
a
good
process
and
I
guess
tying
that
in
with
the
3-year
limitation,
that
probably
has
a
good
effect
it
I'm.
F
This
might
tend
to
have
that
potential
of
something
coming
along
pushed
off
for
a
long
time.
So
I
guess
it's
also
tied
in
with
how
can
this
being
more
effective
and
efficient
and
not
having
to
deal
with
plans
see
a
CPAs
in
that
great
neighborhood
process
would
give
you
time
to
really
focus
on
what
was
going
on
the
neighborhood,
but
I'm
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
doesn't
become
something
gets
bogged
down
and
P
lose
an
opportunity
to
make
some
changes.
F
A
H
A
C
A
H
C
H
So
the
I
understand
that
we've
had
a
lot
of
people
pull
these
before
council
took
action,
but
my
recollection
is
that
we
really
only
have
a
couple
of
really
repeat,
repeat,
repeat
and
we
had
one
when
I
was
on
the
Planning
Commission,
which
was
on
old
main,
which
was
dealt
with
in
the
downtown
livability.
We've
had
the
Newport
Hills
one
and
we've
had
EE
Technology
Center.
Are
there
anything
I'm,
not
thinking
of.
C
H
Oh
okay,
I
forgot
about
those
yeah.
Maybe
they
weren't
us,
okay,
so
it's
four,
then
four
have
been
regular
in
the
last
ten
years.
Okay,
so
I
have
some
concerns
about
this
because
well
for
one,
we
never
to
her,
took
a
boat
to
initiate
this,
which
I
was
looking
at
the
minutes.
I
forgot
that
we
even
and
anyway,
but
that's
beside
the
point-
the
concerns
I
have
or
that
we
have
to
have
a
balance
between
the
fatigue,
because
what
we're
doing
right
now
isn't
working,
obviously,
which
is
why
this
is
coming
to
us.
H
But
I,
don't
know
if
this
doesn't
swing
too
far,
because
the
growth
Management
Act
allows
annual
comprehensive
plan
amendments
and
the
concern
I
have
is
there's
really
two
fold
from
a
policy
perspective.
One
is
if
we,
if
people
apply
for
a
CPA
and
during
the
course
of
the
processing
of
that
they
didn't
learn
what
the
public
wants,
what
the
public
officials
want
and
they
won't
be
able
to
cut.
They
could
today
pull
their
application,
make
per
fineman's
to
make
it
better
for
the
public
and
bring
it
back
the
next
year
in
two
years.
H
If
we
do,
this
I
am
very
worried
that
the
conversation
with
the
public
and
the
other
stakeholders
will,
instead
of
being
productive
in
making
a
project
better
for
a
reapplication
later
or
better.
In
that
cycle.
It
will
really
pit
the
stakeholders,
who
aren't
really
excited
about
the
project
into
a
position
of
instead
of
making
productive
and
proactive
comments
to
try
to
make
it
better
into
a
just.
H
Let's
just
kill
it
because
then
it
goes
away
for
three
years
and
that's
not
necessarily
good
for
creating
a
better
outcome
because
for
a
project,
and
so
I
personally
would
I
think
this
is
a
little
too
harsh
of
a
penalty
and
would
like
to
either
see
the
jeopardy
attached
at
the
public
hearing.
So
before
the
Planning
Commission
makes
a
decision
before
they're
counting
votes,
but
after
the
staff
has
had
a
chance
to
work
on
it
and
there's
been
some
public
discussions
if
there's
meetings
before
the
public
hearing.
H
If
we're
going
to
create
a
situation
where
we're
going
to
lock
people
out,
I'd
like
to
cut
it
to
two
years,
because
that's
still
a
pretty
stiff
penalty
and
what
I
worry
about
is
that
there
may
be
some
changes
that
are
really
appropriate
for
a
comp
plan
that
no
one
meant
a
complan
amendment
during
the
annual
process
and
it
will
not
be
brought
because
the
risk
of
spending
the
time
and
money
and
learning
what
the
public
wants
has
too
stiff
of
a
penalty
if
jeopardy
attaches
it
filing
and
I.
Really.
H
I
really
am
very
concerned
about
that.
So
some
of
these
things,
like
that
you
mentioned
the
repeats
and
I'll
just
say
to
staff
right
now
and
to
my
colleagues
I,
really
want
every
single
one
of
those
things.
That's
been
a
repeat
comp
plan
annual
amendment,
that's
failed.
It
needs
to
be
at
least
considered
and
processed
as
part
of
the
major
update
it
just
has
to
I
mean
and
we'll
get
rid
of
a
lot
of
them,
and
then
we
won't
have
this,
because
we
didn't
have
this
problem.
H
Today,
if
we
have
a
development
agreement
process
for
it
where
we
could
really
look
at
okay,
how
do
we
figure
out
a
way
for
to
let
people
use
their
property
in
a
way
that
doesn't
overburden
the
neighborhood
that
we
get
the
mitigation
we
need
and
that
we
get
this
even
more
public
benefit
than
it's
already
required?
That
I
think
is
really
the
solution
to
this.
It's
not
trying
because
we're
trying
to
fix
this
with
what
I
think
is
an
at
and
we're
trying
to
hit
it
with
a
sledgehammer
and
I.
H
Just
I
think
that
we
should
fix
this
so
that
people
can't
keep
doing
the
repeat,
repeat:
repeat:
make
jeopardy
attached
earlier,
like
a
public
hearing,
make
it
a
two-year
lockout
since
it's
an
earlier
period
before
there's
a
vote
and
then
talk
next
year,
potentially
about
doing
a
work
plan.
The
other
issue
with
having
a
three
year
lockout,
is,
if
there's
an
opportunity
that
comes
up
in
the
private
sector
and
there
it
says
someone
sells
their
property
after
they've
been
locked
out
for
three
years.
H
A
M
I,
like
the
idea
of
the
September
15th,
it
seems
like
that
would
be
an
opportunity
for
staff
to
also
get
ready
for
here's.
How
many
were
getting
for
that
next
budget
cycle
so
that
if
we
need
to
be
be
prepared
for
the
level
of
staffing
that
we're
gonna
need,
because
you
might
have
one,
you
might
have
eight,
you
never
know
right
if
in
any
one
year,
so
I
think
that
makes
sense
to
me.
My
question
was
the
language
said.
Something
about
applies
only
to
process
for
review.
M
D
Conference
plan
amendments
are
what
swap
compliment
conference
plan.
Amendments
are
legislative
authority
of
the
council
and
you
grant
that
through
process
for
review,
it's
simply
and
that's
the
process.
What
we
do,
those
things
we
don't
do
them
anywhere
else
when
you
do
other
comprehensive
plan
related
stuff.
It's
all
still
comes
back
through
a
process
for
review.
Okay,.
D
M
And
then
the
other
question,
we
got
some
comments
about
choice
of
words
with
the
with
when
we
might
consider
a
specific
neighborhood
sub
area
amendment,
and
it
seems
to
me
that
if
I
look
at
this
language,
there
is
some
language
in
there
that
says
Chao
some
says
should
now
we
have
one
that
says:
may
may
not.
So
can
you
help
clarify
what
these
words
mean
and
and
are
there?
M
D
So
the
that
language,
where
it
says,
may
not
apply
that
is
intended
to
be
prohibitive.
That
is,
and
that
is
telling
an
applicant
coming
to
us,
that
they
that
they
can't
do
something.
Okay,
not
us
saying
a
choice
and
we've
vetted
that
concern
that
was
expressed
to
with
the
City
Attorney's
Office
and
the
City
Attorney's
Office
is
comfortable
with
the
the
language
that's
been
presented
for
you
now,
okay,.
M
Thanks
and
then
you
talked
about
lessons
learned
and
ideas
from
other
cities,
so
when,
when
you
were
looking
at
this
language
about
the
three
years
and
and
when
when
it
starts,
is
that
based
on
what
you're,
seeing
in
other
cities
to
that
in
that,
let's
say
someone
submits
in
September
first,
if,
ultimately,
it
doesn't
go
all
the
way
through
the
process,
whether
they
withdraw
or
it
or
doesn't
get
approved
that
three
year
threshold
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
if
we're
unusual
or
if
that
is
pretty
standard
in
other
cities
too.
So.
N
Let
me
just
offer
a
few
there's
two
concepts
there.
One
is
the
application
date
and
what
our
city
is
doing.
Most
cities
are
taking
in
an
application
somewhere
before
the
next
year,
and
it
varies
everywhere
from
like
we're,
looking
at
a
September
day
to
a
full
18
months
out,
like
early
in
the
summer
time.
So
there's
a
range,
but
this
is
certainly
very
consistent
with
what
we
you
know
found
now
on
the
three
year
rule
that
is
obviously
not
nearly
as
a
consistent
and
answer
in
terms
of
what's
going
on
in
the
other
communities.
M
M
And
with
the
same
application
information,
so
this
so
that
so
what
happens?
If
they
have
some
new
information
and
they're
actually
making
significant
changes
that
are
reflective
of
comments?
I'm
just
trying
to
understand?
Is
it
all
inclusive?
No,
and
or
are
there
opportunities
if
they
actually
significantly
change
the
application,
to
reflect
the
kind
of
comments
that
they
were
getting
I?
M
N
I'll
answer
in
the
big
picture
and
I'll
turn
over
to
a
meal.
So
when
you
propose
a
comp
plan,
amendment
you're
actually
just
proposing
a
very
discrete
action.
You're
going
from
one
land
use
category
to
another
land
use
category
now,
so
that
in
and
of
itself
is
a
yes/no
toggle.
Sometimes
a
developer
will
say:
well,
if
you
give
me
that
then
I'll
do
something
else.
Maybe
beyond
that,
but
that's
really
not
a
part
of
the
application.
The
application
is
I
want
to
go
from
this
category
to
a
higher
density,
higher
intensity.
N
M
M
J
Specific
comment,
but
I
kind
of
agree
with
Robertson.
The
question
I
want
to
clarify
is
the
waste
and
now,
if
they're
denied,
then
they
have
to
wait
for
three
years
right.
Yes,
so
now
you're
making
it
that
they
can
actually
withdraw
and
that's
the
window,
it's
a
submitted
date.
So
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
to
buy
the
street
three
years
period.
They
have
to
either
decide
to
go
ahead
or
not
to
apply.
So
that's
really
more
certainty
for
us.
I'll
go
through
the
exercise.
The
question
is:
what
does
it
mean
for
the
applicants?
J
You
know
the
way
it
is
not.
They
can
kind
of
pass
and
play
games
with
us
right.
So
you
spend
a
lot
of
unnecessary
time
and
whatever
so
I
think.
In
that
sense,
it's
probably
a
good
thing.
I
was
I
would
say
it
is
for
then
address
us.
Customers
Robertson
is
concerned
in
some
way,
I'm,
not
quite
sure
what
that
means.
So
maybe
a
little
bit
of
you
know
insight
that
might
be
helpful.
I.
C
Think
specific
to
the
it
sounds
like
the
three-year
rules.
What
you're
bringing
up
I
think
that
the
the
repeat
applications
have
they
have
taken.
You
know
a
certain
amount
of
staff
time
just
to
process,
but
I
think
probably
more
taxing
I.
Think
in
what
we
heard
during
the
the
public
hearing
was
just
the
community's
time
in
digital,
picked
up
ramped
up
and
look
at
the
issues
and
well
it
might
be
slightly
different
from
year
to
year,
at
least
the
the
community
was
saying
it
felt
like
pretty
much
a
very
similar
proposal
from
year
to
year.
C
J
C
L
L
On
the
other
hand,
the
massive
effort,
sometimes
that
neighborhoods
have
to
put
together
in
order
to
have
their
voice
heard,
and
let's,
let's
face
it
with
our
massive
growth
in
the
city
of
Bellevue
I,
think
I
couldn't
envision
more
more
pockets
around
the
city
where
a
neighborhood
is
not
gonna
want
a
certain
development
and
I
can
think
of
a
development
in
Northeast
Bellevue
that
it
doesn't
matter
if
it's
three
or
six
years
or
nine
years,
most
likely,
there's
gonna
be
a
there's.
Gonna
be
a
fight
and
they're
not
gonna,
want
that
in
their
neighborhood.
L
I
might
need
the
support
of
my
colleagues
to
move
something
forward
like
that,
but
I
wanted
at
least
put
that
that
idea
forward.
Okay
as
a
way
because
I
do
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
are
I'm
trying
to
address
the
you
know
the
neighborhood
frustration
and
the
disruptive
nature
of
these
plan.
Amendments
or
so
I
really
appreciate
that
and
and
I'm
sure
the
neighborhoods
and
the
residents
really
appreciate
as
well,
but
again,
I
just
see
this
going
forward.
K
I
think
the
current
process,
design
has
kind
of
created
a
reactionary
process
for
this
neighborhood
for
the
staff
and
for
the
developer.
I,
don't
think
it's
it's
helpful
for
anybody
and
I
I
watch
our
residents
work
so
hard
to
build
a
case
for
or
against
something,
and
then
it's
all
for
nothing,
and
you
know
they're
very
intelligent,
professional
people.
They
shouldn't
be
wasting
their
time
on
things
like
that.
K
E
I
may
I'll
tackle
the
first
aspect
of
the
question,
which
is
the
feedback
on
public
process.
So
as
mentioned
by
email
and
and
Mac,
we
had
a
public
hearing
and
we
had
several
people
from
the
committee
come
and
talk
to
us
in
favor
of
the
proposed
amendments
to
this
to
this
process,
because
the
community
felt
really
burdened
that
these
that
the
applicants
had
the
opportunity
to
apply
and
then
as
soon
as
they
realized
somewhat
through
the
process
that
he
was
not
going
to
be
approved,
withdraw
before
hitting
that
deadline.
E
Another
feedback
that
came
from
the
community
had
to
do
with
the
the
having
a
CPA
in
conjunction
with
a
great
neighborhood
study
being
done.
It
was
just
too
much
for
the
community
to
tackle.
So
those
are
the
the
key
point
that
we've
heard
from
the
community
and
even
Nikolas
may
may
help
me.
Remember.
We
even
have
some
stakeholders
from
the
applicant
side
perspective
and
their
feedback
really
was
somewhat
in
favor
of
this.
N
I'll
make
a
few
comments
on
the
second
part,
which
was
addressing
customer
of
robertson's
comments,
the
developer
or
an
applicant.
Let's
say:
how
does
this
affect
them?
It
definitely
makes
them
need
to
be
more
serious
before
they
bring
down
an
application,
because
the
city
is
willing
to
dedicate
significant
amounts
of
resources.
Not
just
you
know,
staff
and
monetarily,
but
also
within
the
community,
to
have
a
dialogue
about
that
proposed
change,
and
so
there
there's
no
question.
The
city
does
get
applications,
not
just
the
repeat
applications,
but
you
all
may
recall.
N
The
question
of
tearing
that's
not
something
that
we
took
up
specifically
I,
think
you
could
imagine
you
know
if
you,
if
you
allowed
that
tearing
what
the
impacts
would
be
repeat.
You
know,
applications
that
you
have
seen
would
be
likely
to
come
in
see
how
it
goes.
Wait
for
a
year
or
two
see
how
it
goes
and
then
trigger
that
I
can't
say
that
for
certain
you
know
we
don't
know,
but
that
has
been
the
process
to
date.
So
it
that's.
D
A
E
We
move
that
the
Commission
moved
away
from
the
proposed
biannual
option
that
staff
actually
suggested
because
it
turns
out
the
Kirkland
uses
it.
They
only
have
one
or
two
applications
a
year.
Therefore
they
can
afford
to
do
this.
The
Commission,
as
is
feels
stressful
time
when
we
have
several
applications
that
we
have
to
get
through
before
the
end
of
the
year,
so
council
can
do
what
needs
to
be
done.
A
P
A
C
A
A
Whole
host
of
reasons
got
up
to
the
threshold
review
number
of
different.
A
number
of
different
things.
I
am
really
struck.
That
20
is
a
27
to
46.
I
was
really
surprised
by
that
number.
That's
a
lot
of
work
that
our
staff
has
to
go
through
and
as
others
that
have
said,
I'm
not
diminishing
the
work
that
communities
have
to
go
through,
but
that
just
is
a
very
easy
process
to
just
throw
something
on
the
table
and
we've
got
our
staff
working
on
it,
and
you
know
there
is.
A
There
are
lots
of
things
and
I
know:
we've
had
some
changeover
in
staff,
but
there's
lots
of
things
that
I
would
rather,
our
staff
be
doing
than
working
on
somebody's
pig
in
a
poke
on
the
comprehensive
plan
and
I'm
gonna
make
a
run
at
doing
it.
So
I
think
having
something
that's
serious
and
I.
Think
two
years
is
serious.
I.
Think
three
years
is
serious:
I
tend
to
personally
favor
the
three
year
as
being
the
one
to
go
to
go
with.
A
I
also
want
to
say
that
the
comprehensive
plan
is,
we
know,
is
a
living
document,
but
it's
not
a
document.
That's
out
running
around
the
block
all
the
time.
It's
actually
supposed
to
be
kind
of
a
quiet
document.
You
do
your
review
every
eight
years
and
maybe
sometimes
that's
ten
years.
You
take
a
lot
of
input
in
to
what
should
be
reviewed
in
that
that
review.
A
Then
I
think
there
ought
to
be
some
form
of
rest
period
and
I.
Think
that
that
you
know,
if,
if
you
do
this,
you
do
a
two-year
process
and
then
people
are
coming
in
a
year
later.
You
really
do
want
to
say:
where
were
you
the
last
two
years?
Well,
maybe
they
just
bought
a
piece
of
property?
Well,
they
call
it
speculation
for
a
reason
right.
A
So
maybe
you
did
and
maybe
it's
reasonable
and
maybe
you
come
in-
and
maybe
it's
the
the
greatest
thing
that
we
want
and
there's
really
a
reason
to
do
it
that
can
go
forward
if
it
gets
through
threshold
review
and
and
goes
in,
and
but
you
have
to
have
it
be
I-
think
a
really
good
process
or
a
really
good
project.
I.
A
Think
too
many
people
have
treated
this
as
a
free.
A
free
ticket
to
you
know
to
you
know
to
ride
on
the
carousel
and
reach
out,
and
it's
probably
the
wrong
thing.
It's
the
anyway.
It
doesn't
matter
and
pull
for
the
gold
Reid
grabbed
for
the
gold
ring.
I
am
mixing
my
metaphors,
but
I'm,
not
a
carnival
guy,
so
I
really
kind
of
think
that.
That's
that
that's.
A
I,
don't
know
that
it's
one
that
we've
got
complete
agreement
on
John
I
know
you
wanted
to
comment
a
little
bit
more
and
and
I
think
this
is
worth
opening
up
for
a
little
bit
of
a
second
round
of
comment
to
see.
I
think
if
we
can
get
to
something
that
works,
then
it's
something
that
can
come
back
with
one
more
touch,
but
maybe
at
a
council
meeting.
But
if
not
it's
probably
something.
That's
going
and
I'd
want
to
ask
this
question.
A
What
is
what
happens
if
this
goes
over
into
say,
February
or
March
of
2020
I
mean
I
know
you
can't
predict
vote,
but
is
there
a
practical
effect
of
you
wouldn't
be
able
to
implement
it
by
September
of
of
twenty
twenty
twenty?
So
I'm
gonna
want
to
ask
that
question,
but
I
think
it's
worth
it
to
go
around
the
table
here
again.
Mr.
Stokes.
F
F
I'm
not
wanting
to
have
a
good
development,
but
also
wanted
the
development
to
happen
in
their
same
place.
And
what
concerns
me
is
that
that
same
neighborhood
as
I
understand
it
now
has
a
developer.
Please
come
in
and
as
proposing
something
they're
very
excited
about
and
what
I've
looked
at,
it's
kind
of
like
what
they've
been
presented
before,
but
they
just
like
the
way
it's
kind
of
focused,
I,
guess
and
had
more
conversation,
plus
the
people
who
live
in
the
neighborhood
have
changed
somewhat
too
I
mean
the
development
growth
is
happening.
F
Change
is
happening
so
fast
in
the
city
three
years
ago,
five
years
ago,
maybe
three
years,
we'd
be
rational,
but
I'm,
just
taking
a
little
bit
of
whether
that's
in
the
long
run
will
have
an
adverse
effect
on
particularly
fear
of
not
letting
anybody
come
in
in
three
years.
We
keep
talking
about
a
person,
you
know
developers
who
come
in
and
they
come
in
every
year
and
they
do
it
and
pull
out.
If
the
matter
fact,
the
matter
is
actually
they've
been
several
different
developers
in
this
one
project.
F
So
it's
not
as
if
there's
just
one
developer
who's
playing
games,
and
that
was
both
of
the
projects
that
were
termed
down
or
they
pull.
You
know
they
took
out
at
the
last
minute.
In
fact,
one
of
them
I
think
by
the
vote
of
the
council
that
time
would
have
gone
for,
but
hadn't
had
they
not
taken
it
out.
They
were
serious.
F
It's
just
that
there
were
some
real
issues
with
the
community
with,
and
so
it
that's
that
happens
and
I'm
just
concerned
that
we
may
be
putting
something
in
that
is
that
just
causes
some
kind
of
one
of
the
tragedy,
the
medical
term,
not
authorities',
but
have
a
barrier
to
some
change
of
what?
If
two
years
after
which
you
have
people
in
community,
saying
you
don't
want
this
neighborhood,
we
need
something
here
and
there's
some
people
who
want
to
do
it
and
three
years
there
and
up
they
have
to
wait.
I
and
I.
F
Don't
know
I'm
just
a
little
concerned
about
this
is
a
an
overreaction
to
a
concern
that
there
might
be
different
ways,
but
I
do
like
what.
If
it
focuses
us
and
I
think
what
you
know
the
director
is
saying
is
that
maybe
we
have
a
process
that
we
actually
have
developers
come
in
and
you
have
a
working
relationship
before
you
file
the
application,
but
you
can
in
fact
go
forward
as
if
you're
going
to
have
an
application-
and
you
have
your
you-
have
your
discussions.
F
So
when
you
get
serious
with
it
and
you
work
out
with
the
community,
then
you
file
your
application.
That
makes
more
sense,
but
I'd
like
to
see
that
I
think
that
has
to
be
developed
before
I
can
feel
real
comfortable
with
it.
But
I
do
agree.
We
need
to
address
this
and,
as
I
said
before,
I
think
it's
I
just
would
like
to
have
some
more
conversation.
F
I
think
the
mayor
suggesting
it
may
take
us
a
little
more
time
than
this,
but
overall
we
do
have
to
do
something
we
have
to
be
more
and
also
in
making
these
decisions
and
I
think
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
more
of
these
coming
up.
So
it's
it's
a
you
know,
I
think
you
made
a
good
good
effort
at
it
and
I'm
just
not
I'm
kind
of
there,
but
not
quite
so.
You
understand
what
I'm
saying
on
it.
H
Appreciate
the
conversation
I
mean
I
agree
with
counsel
for
Stokes.
A
couple
questions
that
came
up
as
I
was
listening
to
the
discussion.
The
other
cities
that
have
the
three-year
gap.
Do
they
have
a
point
in
time
when
the
three-year
gap
attaches.
H
If
it's
an
application
or
is
okay,
so
and
then
I
had
forgotten
about
the
check
back,
I
think
that
that
would
be
a
really
good
thing.
Perhaps
to
have
this
calendar
for
the
council
check
back
after
the
major
update
so
like
in
2020
for
2025
to
see
how
it's
working
I
think
that
that
would
be
really
good.
I
also
didn't
weigh
in
that
I
appreciated
the
new
application
date
and
the
keeping
the
great
neighborhoods
separate.
What's
the
application
fee
for
a
comp
plan
of
men?
Is
it
about
$3,000.
D
H
So
one
of
the
things
we
might
want
to
do
is
increase
our
fees
so
that
it
covers
more
of
this
is
more
of
an
application.
I
know
it's
a
legislative
matter,
but
it's
more
of
an
application
and
if,
if
we
are
getting
I
mean
we're
gonna
deal
with
this
repeat
thing,
but
we
might
want
to
think
about
the
cost
recovery
on
comp
plan
amendment
applications
because
they
are
primed
for
the
privately
initiated
ones.
That's
side
point
so
I,
like
some
of
the
conversation
I've
had
around
the
table.
H
N
You
know
our
process
is
set
up
right
now
to
be
a
an
application,
has
come
to
the
city,
and
then
the
city
facilitates
those
types
of
community
dialogues.
There
are
certainly
other
venues.
You
know
where
these
kinds
of
things
can
be
discussed
more
in
the
abstract.
The
city
generally
doesn't
facilitate
those
because
we
staff
and
facilitate
formal
applications
and
to
chair
Morris.
N
Why
don't
I
take
a
run
at
what
would
otherwise
or
should
be
a
major
comp
plan,
update
visioning
concept
and
try
to
up
zone?
You
know
incremental
a
year
over
year
over
year
outside
of
that
process.
So
that's
the
one
of
the
big
concerns
and
what
you're
getting
at
is
well.
If
we
talked
about
a
development
agreement
process,
which
is
really
a
development
review
kind
of
thing,
how
does
zoning
work?
What
are
the
setbacks?
That's
very
different
idea.
N
Design
of
a
project
is
very,
very
different
in
terms
of
you
know
where
Park
should
go
and
what
types
of
exactions
you
know
the
city
should
be
able
to
get
at
the
time
of
up
zoning
from
kind
of
a
discrete
yes/no,
where
someone
asks
the
city
for
a
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
that
substantially
increases
density
and
fundamentally
changes
vision.
So
it's
a
way
to
try
to
bridge
those
two
things.
N
In
terms
of
development
review,
but
very
different
than
the
comp
plan
and
the
ministration
of
the
comp
plan,
so
these
things
come
as
this
discrete
yes/no
and
in
those
situations
developers
are
asking
you
to
simply
significantly
up
up
zone
properties
without
the
ability
to
do
what
you're
talking
about,
and
so
the
reaction
you're
talking
about
today
is
if
you're
gonna
keep
that
process.
Assuming
you
are,
do
you
want
to
make
that
a
very
serious
application,
so.
H
And
I
know
that
I'm
just
making
this
probably
more
complicated
but
I
think
that
we
need
a
nuanced
approach
to
this.
What
if
we
had
a
major
and
minor
comp
plan
amendment,
so
a
minor
one
would
be
zoning
that
is
no
more
than
one
step
more
intense
than
the
current
zoning,
and
that
would
be
a
different
criteria
than
one
that
is
not
minor.
H
Anything,
that's
not
minor
will
be
major
and
that
the
major
ones
would
have
a
lot
more
process
and
would
be
if
they
couldn't
be
easily
done,
then
maybe
push
those
into
the
eight-year
update.
I
mean
I,
know
that
I
know
that
this
is
it'd,
be
easy.
Just
to
say.
Okay
rubber-stamp
do
this,
but
it's
you
know,
you
know
what
I
mean
so
I
would
like
to
have
a
little
bit
more
of
a
nuanced
approach
to
this,
and
I
am
absolutely
in
favor
of
getting
rid
of
the
annual.
H
You
know,
throw
spaghetti
on
the
wall,
see
what
sticks
or
come
back
year
after
year
after
year
after
year.
If
we
did
two
in
a
three
year
period,
then
there's
a
three
year
gap
from
the
second
I
mean
I.
Don't
know
how
we
do
it
or,
if
there's
just
a
two
year
gap
anytime
upon
application
of
filing.
You
know
I'm,
okay,
with
some
modifications
like
that,
but
boy
we
might
want
to
think
about,
because
the
minor
amendments
based
on
changed
circumstances
are
different
than
something
that,
as
you
substantially
changed
his
vision.
H
N
We
have
not
talked
about
or
evaluated
such
a
thing,
I'm,
not
sure
if
any
cities
here
do
that,
I
have
seen
that
done
in
other
cities
in
other
states,
and
then
it
gets
down
to.
What
do
you
want
to
define
as
minor,
and
you
know
how
you
there
start
to
be
games
played
with
what's
minor
and
what's
major,
of
course,
but
if
the
council's
interested
in
such
a
thing,
we
could
certainly
start
taking
a
look
at
that.
H
C
H
And
I
hope
that
anyone
who's
had
a
withdrawn,
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
will
be
made
aware
of
when
we're
scoping,
because
it
would
be
just
be
good,
then
they
can
have
a
reality
check
on
if
it's
part
of
the
vision
and
then
we
don't
have
an
exhaustive
public,
which
that's
one
major
update
and
I
would
I
would
be
in
favor
of
holding
no
complan
amendments.
Although
the
GMA
says
that's
an
annual,
we
can
do
it
annually
in
the
first
two
years
after
a
new
plan
is
adopted,
except
for
to
correct
errors
that.
H
Initiated
I
would
be
in
favor
of
something
that
we
there's
a
lot
of
stuff.
We
need
to
do
on
the
comp
plan
process,
including
the
whole
threshing
review
stuff,
which
we're
never
would
you've
never
caught
into
it
16
years
since
we've
been
talking
about
it,
but
maybe
now
is
the
time
to
be
a
little
bit
more
refined,
Thanks.
A
M
You
so
as
I'm
listening
to
all
this
I
I
am
I
support.
Really
looking
at
the
CPAs
coming
in
as
serious
applications
like
I
was.
We
were
talking
about
earlier,
the
ability
to
come
in
as
a
pre-application
and
really
understand,
because
this
isn't
just
we've
been
talking
about
developers,
but
we've
had
lots
of
of
discrete
property
owners
that
have
come
into
and
making
sure
that
they
understand
what
they're
signing
up
for
when
they
turn
in
that
application
as
well.
M
So
I
think
that's
important
for
me
as
I'm
listening
to
this
I'm
inclined
to
to
support
what
is
currently
on
the
table
predicated
on
the
fact
that
we
know
that
there's
going
to
be
a
major
update
in
June
in
2023,
so
this
kind
of
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
clean
this
up.
Make
sure
that
folks
aren't
going
to
keep
coming
back
doing
this
stuff
and
then,
as
we
do,
that
the
major
comp
plan
amendment
in
or
major
update
in
2023.
After
that
it
gives
us
a
chance
to
say
well.
M
How
is
it
happened
in
the
last
couple
of
years
and
then
what
are
the
right
things
to
do
going
forward?
It
seems
like
there's
a
natural
break
point
in
that
2023
for
us
to
do
that,
so
that's
kind
of
what
I'm
thinking,
because
anything
else
we're
trying
to
define
major
and
minor
and
everything
else,
or
this
idea
of
looking
at
development
agreements
I
think
that's
a
much
longer
and
heavier
lift.
You
know
when
we
tried
to
talk
about
development
agreements
on
public
stuff.
There
was
a
lot
of
angst
in
the
community
about
that.
M
A
L
Member
new
in-house,
thank
you
and
I
do
agree
with
customer
Robertson's
idea
about
increasing
fees.
I
think
there's
some
value
to
that.
We
should
look
at
that
again
to
recover
our
cost.
Cuz
of
the
mammoth
massive
amount
of
work
staff
is
having
to
do
again.
I'll
go
back
to
my
point
earlier,
even
though
there
might
be
some
pushback,
but
I
think
that
three
years
again
does
sound
a
bit
punitive
I.
Think
councillor
Stokes
makes
a
good
point
that
neighborhoods
change
needs
change.
L
L
What
that
neighborhood
wants
or
needs,
and
clearly
that,
might
show
that
they're
not
able
to
come
to
an
agreement
and
come
to
a
satisfactory
project
that
everyone
can
can
can
buy
into
and
I
think
that
would
achieve
all
of
our
goals
as
well.
So
I
wanted
to
pass
that
along
as
well
any
response
to
that
any
thoughts.
N
I
think
I
sort
of
heard
two
concepts,
not
following
the
exact
number
of
years.
Therefore,
each
of
the
tiers
one
would
be
a
proposal
to
go
from
the
three-year
recommended
time
period.
You
know
to
a
two-year
time
period
and
I've
heard
some
discussion
on
the
council
for
that
the
second
would
be
to
consider
an
option
B,
which
would
be
an
escalated
tearing
starting
at
some
period
of
time.
You
know
and
then
getting
proactively
longer,
if
it's
the
same
application
that
keeps
getting
denied
so
the
way
I
might
parse
it
for
the
council.
N
If
you
all
believe
that
a
way
to
address
this
community
issue
is
to
look
at
a
length
of
time
and
the
application
date
being
the
trigger
point,
I
hear
sort
of
consensus
around
that
concept
and
you're
agreeing
or
disagreeing
on
the
number
of
years.
I
hear
some
of
you
saying
two
years.
You
know
is
what
you'd
like
to
be
some
of
you're
saying
three
years,
and
so
maybe
you're
a
lot
closer
than
it
may
feel.
As
the
dialogue
is
kind
of
bouncing
around
the
table,
a.
J
Lot
of
good
ideas,
suggestions
at
the
table,
but
we
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
this
applies
not
just
the
developers
but
pi-star
citizens
as
well.
Who
may
come
me
so
raising
money,
raising
the
cost
application
fee
is
probably
a
good
idea
for
people
who
just
try
to
do
it
in
a
business
capitalist
way,
but
for
real
serious
you
know
poverty,
illness,
that's
probably
not
the
best
idea,
but
I
don't
know
we're
just
sort
of
talking
coming
up
with
ideas
after
being
briefed
by
the
staff
for
less
an
hour.
J
You
know
we're
making
decisions
unless
we're
ready
to
say,
approve
the
staff
proposal
and
based
on
what
comes
to
him,
but
sound
may
be
suggested.
This
is
a
temporary
thing
that
will
make
adjustment
a
few
years
out
from
now.
Otherwise,
I
feel
that,
based
on
what
I
heard
from
director
Cummings
that
they
have
been
talking
thinking
about
this
major
change
in
a
way
you
have
been
thinking
about
this
for
a
while.
J
J
Solution
because
the
Planning
Commission
is,
you
know
it's
facing
time
crunch
and
staffers
facing
a
situation
where
they
have
to
perform
and
work
I
would
suggest
the
plan.
You
know
and
I
think
made
me
some
good
ideas
and
transmitted
more
openness.
Obviously
ideas.
This
puppies
issue,
a
topic
that
Planning
Commission
need
to
really
address
working
with
the
staff
really
coming
up
with
much
better
solution.
J
K
I
feel
like
the
Planning
Commission
went
through
credit,
quite
a
process
on
making
this
recommendation.
You
went
through
a
public
process.
You
had
discussion
amongst
yourself,
you
had
feedback
from
staff,
and
so
now
you're
proposing
this
to
Council
and
there's
been
a
good
conversation
here.
I
normally
I,
really
like
nuance
and
I
like
personalized
plans
for
things,
but
when
it
comes
to
development,
I
know
that
predictability
is
really
important
and
removing
the
subjectivity
as
much
as
possible,
so
I
think
just
coming
up
with
a
flat
year.
K
It
would
be,
in
my
opinion,
I'm
fine
with
the
three
years,
but
if
two
years
is
what
everybody
else
wants,
that's
fine,
but
I
would
pick
a
flat,
not
a
nuanced
approach
to
that.
I
do
like
the
idea.
They
look
back
a
certain
point
and,
of
course,
the
recommendation
that
you're
bringing
forward
for
the
separation
of
the
GN
and
the
applications.
I
also
agree
with.
Okay.
A
A
It
gets
me
past
the
next
fifty
six
out
of
56
days,
but
if
we
want
to,
if
we,
if
we
want
to
do
something
with
two
years,
I
think
that
that's
fine
but
I
think
the
other
elements
that
were
laid
out
by
the
Commission
are
really
important,
I
think
on
the
fee.
Thank
you
for
asking
the
question.
I
wish
I
had
asked
it
for
$1,100
we've
put
staff
and
everybody
else
through.
All
of
this,
that's
pretty
amazing
that
you
can
do
that.
I
think
that's
something
you
look
at
as
as
a
fee
and
coordinates.
A
A
The
other
part
and
I
think
it
was
mentioned
council
member
Stokes
had
to
step
out
for
a
call
what
happens
if,
after
something
a
neighborhood
and
a
developer
or
a
property
owner
come
together
and
they
all
of
a
sudden
they
have,
they
have
solved
the
big
issue
and
now
they're
in
a
three-year
period,
where
they
can't
do
anything.
Well,
that's
not
true!
A
It
is
not
approval
and
I
know.
In
a
couple
of
cases,
there
were
some
very
good
argument
about
why
threshold
review.
Why
why
the
threshold
had
not
been
crossed,
but
for
the
most
part
I
hear
when
a
public
comes
down
they're
just
arguing
against
something
happening
in
their
neighborhood.
They
just
don't
want
it.
A
That's
not
the
purpose
there
and
so
I
think
there
needs
to
be
some
I
I
think
that
having
a
time
period
will
put
some
pressure
on
that
threshold
review
question
because
they've
already
begun
the
clock,
rolling
I,
don't
know
that
two
years
or
three
years
will
make
a
difference
in
that.
But
as
I
say,
I'm
I
am
in
favor
of
getting
this
going
and
if
two
years
does
it-
and
you
know
we
get
a
good
majority
of
the
council
or
a
seven
to
nothing
vote
I.
Think
that's
a
good
thing.
A
A
And
and
in
the
the
argument
that
well,
this
hasn't
happened
in
the
past.
I
well,
I
think
has
happened
in
the
past,
but
I
think
what
we
are
seeing
now
with
the
market.
The
way
it
is
is
this
is
going
to
continue
to
happen
and
the
one
that
that
really
stood
out
at
me
was
coming
in
and
just
being
able
to
come
in
and
ask
for
our
110
zoning
in
a
place
where
it
doesn't
exist
and
actually
thinking
that
had
a
chance
of
going
forward.
A
The
two
projects
that
have
really
come
forward
are
very
different.
You've
got
in
one
case,
you
have
a
property
owner
who
I
think
the
public
in
Newport
Hills
has
pointed
this
out.
Basically
to
sell
the
property
he
wants
to
have
somebody
come
in
and
up
zone,
and
so
we
continually
get
a
different
developer
coming
in
that's
a
really
bad
cycle,
on
the
other
hand,
is
what's
been
argued
before
the
Planning
Commission
by
the
residents
of
North
East
is
look.
A
The
the
current
property
owner
bought
the
property,
knowing
that
there
is
a
clause
on
the
property
that
prohibits
certain
development.
Why
do
we
continue
to
do
that?
It's
sort
of
the
to
the
Alpha
and
the
Omega
of
those
two
ends
of
the
of
the
spectrum,
so
I
would
be
willing,
although
I
prefer
three
I'd
be
willing
to
put
two
years
forward.
I'd
suggest
study
study.
Look
at
that
the
fee
issue
council,
member
Robertson.
You
mentioned
one
other
thing
and
I'm
sorry
I'm
blanking
on
it
right
now,
Oh.
H
H
A
H
A
And
I
would
just
say
we
look
back
at
everything,
but
if
we
want
to
put
I
mean
we
have
not
done
well
putting
look
backs
into
ordinances.
Quite
frankly,
but
we
do
do
you
know
we
do
we
do
look
backs.
What
I
would
say
is
just
an
analysis
of
what
occurred.
I,
don't
want
to
extensive
I,
wouldn't
want
an
extensive
report
of
a
look
back.
A
F
Right
the
other
I'd,
like
you
would
like
to
also
think
about,
is
how
can
we
working
with
staff,
to
have
this
different
approach
and
get
people
in
and
a
better
process?
And
how
can
we
support
that
I
mean
I,
think
that's
important
and,
and
the
other
Factory
is
even
that
one
we're
with
community
we're
talking
about.
They
really
wanted.
They
really
wanted
that
redevelopment
in
some
ways,
just
the
process
and
the
people
deal
in
the
process
was
not
good,
so
we're
there's
something
a
little
bit
broken
there
too.
F
M
I
just
had
one
clarification,
so
I
can
support
the
two
years.
What
I
want
to
understand,
though,
is
we're
putting
this
new
change
in
place,
so,
though,
the
ones
that
did
withdraw
before
it
goes
through
it
went
through,
does
it
apply
to
them
so
that
we
are
literally
saying
okay,
this
one
into
place.
So,
even
though
you
didn't
go
all
the
way
through,
you
are
subject
to
the
three
years
or
how
how
do
those
ones
that
are
already
hanging
around
out
there?
How
does
this
apply
to
them?
I
just
want.
C
M
A
C
So
the
okay,
and
to
the
mayor's
previous
question
about
when
this
goes
into
effect.
The
idea
is
that
it
is
adopted
when
council
is
clearly
ready
to
adopt
something
and
ordinances
like
this
can
typically
go
into
effect
as
soon
as
five
days
after
council
adoption.
So,
thirdly,
we're
past
the
September
15th
dates
of
that
call.
It
provision
doesn't
apply
to
this
cycle,
but
the
intent
would
be
that
the
no
no
proposals
for
great
neighborhood
areas
and
whatever
year
rule
the
council
is
comfortable
with,
would
would
be
what.
C
M
A
Are
in
we
are
in
great
a
birds,
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
pause,
but
we're
in
great
neighborhoods
in
Northwest
and
northeast.
The
ordinance
goes
into
effect
in
five
days.
That
means
that
for
January,
31
no
privately
initiated
in
northeast
or
Northwest.
That
is
correct.
Okay,
that
you
know,
I
had
not
picked
up
on
that.
So
council
members
on
thanks
for
asking
the
question.
I
hadn't
picked
up
on
that.
J
Mr.
Lee
I'm
happy
to
support
this
as
a
current
as
a
solution
to
current
situation,
where
I
think
the
staff
and
the
Transperth
Planning
Commission's
bringing
up
to
us,
you
know
as
a
solution,
but
I
really
like
to
you
know,
continue
to
ask
the
director
comments,
because
you
mentioned
that
you
have
heard
us
talking
about
it,
and
so
you
seem
to
have
a
sort
working.
J
You
know
process
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
really
fix
this
thing
right
right,
so
I
hope
you
can
continue
to
do
that
and
work
with
the
trust
with
the
Planning
Commission
and
to
come
back
to
us.
You
know,
after
this
the
same
place
and
see
what
bad
idea
that
could
be
made
to
fix
this
thing
once
and
for
what,
maybe
not
once
for
all
but
to
app
at
the
end
right.
I
agree.
You
said
you've
been
working
on
this
right.
You
got
something
else
going
on
besides
just
what
we're
talking
about.
Yes,.
N
J
A
So,
if
I'm
hearing,
if
I,
want
to
try
to
sum
this
up
and
I
may
use
a
different
word
on
look
back,
that
it
is
to
draft
the
ordinance
with
a
two-year
time
frame.
So
if
someone
were
to
apply
September
of
1
to
20,
they
would
not
be
able
to
apply
again
until
September
of
2022
would
be
the
effect
if,
if
it
didn't
go
forward,
so
I
think
that's,
and
that
would
be
the
way
it
would
go.
A
A
J
Planning
Commission
and
the
directors
should
continue
to
be
thinking
our
work
on
this
otherwise
two
years
from
now.
Well,
when
it's
done
six
months
or
so
what
you
have
to
look
back
anyway
to
what
this,
what
we
are
doing
today
is
going
to
make
a
difference
and
I
think
they
need
to
be
thinking
about
it
and
develop
some
better
way
of
handling
this.
Why
not
study
now
right?
A
Is
what
we're
doing
we're
actually
doing
something
to
change
something,
so
you
can't
study
something
that
hasn't
been
changed
yet
I
think
you
need
to
study
that
and
analyze
and
see
what
happens
and
I
think
there
are
other
elements
that
we've
had
discussions
of
that
that
may
come
up
within
this
again
threshold
review.
We've
had
significant
discussion
about
how
that
applies,
what
the
state
law
says,
and
it
can
be
a
little
amorphous,
but
you
know
that's
kind
of
the
way
it
is
Ari.
Do
you
have
enough
direction.
B
N
18Th
with
the
draft
ordinance
that
would
change
the
land
use
code
to
implement
the
three
main
elements
which
would
change
the
submit
all
date
for
a
CPA
to
September
15th
going
forward.
It
would
prohibit
a
CPA
from
being
proposed
in
a
neighborhood
area
when
a
neighborhood
plan
is
on
going
to
the
great
neighborhoods
program
and
it
would
set
in
place
the
trigger
date
for
the
timing
requirement.
A
date
of
application
for
two
years.
Is
that
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
council.
H
H
A
Can
I
can
I
speak
to
that?
I
would
not
want
this
to
be
something
where
someone
would
say.
Well
wait
a
minute.
You've
got
it
in
in
code
that
you
can't
even
consider
this
until
2025
or
2026
I.
Don't
think!
That's
your
intent,
I
think
it's
to
give
a
target
date
so
a
no
later
than
or
yeah,
rather
than
a
no
sooner,
then,
maybe
something
about
a
no
later
than
that's.
B
B
C
Last
spring,
the
the
council,
with
council
agreement,
we
contributed
50,000
towards
what's
called
the
regional
census
fund.
We
were
able
to
work
through
a
regional
process
to
actually
fund
four
organizations
on
the
east
side
with
money
that
totaled
one
hundred
fifty
seven
thousand
dollars,
and
these
included
the
organization's.
The
eastside
refugee
and
immigration
coalition
called
Eric,
the
Indian
Association
of
Western
Washington,
the
Chinese
information
and
service
center,
and
the
muslin
was
association
of
Puget
Sound.
C
Each
of
these
groups
have
been
spending
the
past
few
months,
helping
educate
the
communities
on
the
east
side
about
the
importance
of
the
2020
census
and
also
just
raised
broader
awareness
of
diverse
communities.
Of
here
on
the
east
side,
a
second
round
of
funding
is
happening
right
now
that
senior
planner
is
is
helping
with
the
selection
process
on
that
and
there's
going
to
be
some
key
announcements
that
hope
to
be
made
before
Thanksgiving
to
that
effect.
C
Q
Yeah
thanks
Neil
thanks
Council,
just
and
to
also
mention
regionally.
The
other
thing
that
the
city
has
been
doing
has
they've
joined
together
with
other
Eastside
cities
to
form
the
East
King
County
communities,
count
committee
and
councilmember
Conrad
Lee
is
serving
on
that
this
body
is
leading
collaboration,
efforts,
providing
support
and
sharing
materials
to
ensure
that
all
of
our
large
institutions,
including
our
governments,
our
school
districts,
our
libraries,
the
King,
County,
Housing
Authority.
Q
Also
large
social
service
providers
like
Hope
link,
are
all
working
together
to
kind
of
have
the
broadest
outreach
possible
ensuring
that
all
of
our
communities
are
aware
of
the
importance
of
the
census
to
our
local
communities
and
then
internally,
our
city
has
formed
a
2020
census
task
force.
It
includes
all
departments.
Staff
have
been
identifying
ways
of
raising
awareness
through
just
our
daily
city
operations
and
communications,
and
our
strategy
has
kind
of
focused
in
three
areas:
I
like
alliteration,
so
there
in
publications,
people
and
places
and
for
publications.
Q
Q
Second,
because
leaders
use
census
data
to
make
decisions,
everyone's
response
will
help
guide
planning
for
the
future
of
our
community.
Most
notably,
the
2020
census
helps
guide
decisions
on
how
billions
of
federal
dollars
are
allocated
annually
for
critical
public
services
like
roads
and
schools,
and
hospitals
and
hundreds
of
other
programs.
The
video
also
lets
people
know
to
look
for
a
postcard
in
March
next
in
the
mail
for
the
first
time
in
2020,
households
will
have
the
opportunity
of
filling
out
the
questionnaire
online,
as
well
as
by
phone
and
by
or
by
mail
and
then.
Q
Q
In
addition
to
the
video
staff
from
departments
have
been
pulling
together.
Data
on
the
federal
and
state
funding
to
that's
been
guided
by
the
2010
census
data
to
illustrate
how
achieving
an
accurate
count
benefits.
Bellevue
locally.
Since
2010,
the
city
of
Bellevue,
has
received
over
76
million
dollars
in
transportation
projects,
seven
million
in
parks
projects
nearly
six
million
for
Community
Development,
Block
Grants,
and
over
40
million
in
just
state
tax
distributions.
Q
Q
That
will
ensure
that
our
community
has
what
it
needs
to
succeed
in
being
the
city
where
people
want
to
be
in
the
coming
decade
will
also
be
hosting
a
census
questionnaire.
Is
that
the
questionnaire
assistance,
centers
and
census
parties
to
celebrate
well
to
help
people
fill
out
the
questionnaire
and
celebrate
being
counted,
and
let
people
know
that
and
have
people
know
that
their
participation
will
make
a
difference.
Q
A
Thank
you
for
the
for
the
update,
councilmember
Lee,
thanks
for
serving
on
the
committee
I
know,
council
members
on
has
also
taken
this
on
other
council
members
are
very
interested
in
it.
So
I
want
it
to
be
the
City
where,
where
you
not
only
want
to
be,
but
you
want
to
be
counted
and
that
it
people
will
feel
comfortable,
everyone
will
feel
comfortable
being
counted.
I
think
that's
also
a
very
important
aspect.
So
with
that
we
will
adjourn
the
the
study
session
and
we'll
be
ready
to
go
with
the
regular
session
shortly.
A
A
A
A
And
seconded,
to
approve
the
agenda
as
altered,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed.
The
motion
carries
in
the
agenda
is
adopted.
We
were
at
communications
written
in
aural.
We
have
I
believe
six
individuals
who
have
signed
up
to
testify
tonight.
So
we
should
be
well
within
the
half
hour
that
the
council,
the
lots
for
this
it's
possible.
There
are
some
people
who
are
not
as
familiar
with
the
rules,
so
I'll
just
pass
along
that
you'll
have
three
minutes
to
address
the
council.
A
You
have
three
minutes
to
address
the
council
when
you
come
down
just
give
your
name
and
your
address.
The
green
light
means
your
started.
The
yellow
light
means
you
have
one
minute
left
and
when
the
red
light
comes
on,
we
want
you
to
be
done.
We
take
three
people
testifying
on
any
one
side
of
an
issue,
so
if
of
those
people
who
have
signed
up,
if
there's
more
than
three
on
one
particular
side
of
an
issue,
we'll
end
it
at
at
those
three.
A
S
S
S
The
other
one
is
maybe
two
years
ago
we
had
a
concern
on
North,
East,
30th
and
Bella
red
Road,
or
way,
whichever
you
want
to
say,
and
you
can
go
north
and
south
and
you
can
go
east,
but
for
Microsoft
they
can't
go.
They
can
only
go
one
way,
which
is
south
and
those
employees
choose
to
drive
across
the
sidewalk
to
get
east
or
drive
across
the
sidewalk
to
get
West
and
so
I
talked
to
transportation,
and
we
came
up
with
the
idea.
S
Maybe
we
could
put
a
post
I'm,
the
island
one
end
and
a
post
on
the
other
end,
and
that
has
solved
the
problem.
So
it
lasted
for
one
year
and
then
last
year
with
the
snow,
they
plowed
up
the
post,
but
they
came
at.
We
called
and
they
came
out
and
me
replaced
them.
So
no
more
vehicles
are
using
the
sidewalk
for
their
delay.
No
traffic.
A
S
I,
don't
know
probably
27
through
29.
This
is
a
house
that
is
being
built
in
a
19,
maybe
67
development
one-story
house
is
built
by
McGrath
and
that
neighborhood
filed
for
came
and
petitioned,
and
they
didn't
want
this
house
to
go
in
because
they're,
going
from
one
side
of
the
property
to
the
other
side
of
the
property
and
it's
a
two-story
house,
they've
built
it
on
a
cul-de-sac
and
they
came
down
to
talk
and
is
now
built
and
they're
making
it
into
assisted
living.
Eventually,
they're
gonna
ask
for
that.
That's
an
issue.
S
A
S
T
T
So
the
neighbors
are
telling
them
here's
what
we
need,
but
they
also
need
to
say
here's
what
we
need,
so
that
both
of
their
needs
can
be
met
together
and
when
we
were
looking
at
the
Pikes
Peak
water
tower.
The
engineers
at
the
utilities
were
like.
We
need
all
this
and
the
other
people
are
like
well.
We
need
all
this
and
can't
get
together,
but
once
they
could
hear
each
other's
needs
and
learn
each
other's
issues,
they
could
come
together
more
quickly
and
they've.
T
Actually
both
chose
the
same
design
in
that
case,
but
they
can
see
each
other's
needs.
So
one
of
the
things
when
we
were
talking
about
the
Newport
Hills
developments,
one
of
the
things
that
they
were
asking
and
never
got
was
they
were
asking
for
some
kind
of
economic
development
proposal
there.
So
when
we're
looking
at
the
neighborhood's,
what
are
the
economic
development
proposal
for
the
neighborhood?
What's
the
vision,
they're,
you
know,
are
you
helping
the
citizens
get
an
economic
development
vision
and
helping
the
commercials
people
match
that.
T
The
other
thing
that
I
would
like
to
ask
is
we
talked
about
this
initiatives
as
if
most
of
them
are
the
development
ones,
but
what
about
the
gun
right
thing?
These
are
other
things
that
all
go
through.
The
community
I
mean
the
Planning
Commission,
because
comprehensive
plan
goes
through
the
Planning
Commission,
but
they're,
not
necessarily
development
things.
T
So
we
need
to
think
about
that
in
terms
of
the
fees
too,
and
things
like
that,
and
maybe
you
maybe
you
have
a
one
fee
for
before
threshold
and
one
fee
after
threshold,
or
something
like
that,
so
it
can
give
more
of
a
break
to
people
trying
to
do
all
that
kind
of
stuff
yeah.
Well,
that's
good
enough
for
today.
Thank
you
great.
V
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
making
time
available.
My
name
is
Charles
watts.
My
address
is
504
hundred
and
seventy
fifth
place:
North
East,

I'm
here
as
an
individual
tonight,
but
I'm.
Also,
a
member
of
people
for
climate
action
and
climate
change,
Lobby
citizens,
climate
Lobby.
Excuse
me,
my
wife
and
I
have
lived
in
Bellevue
for
over
50
years
and
I've
been
paying
business
or
have
since
I,
before
I
retired,
I
paid
business
and
occupation
tax.
V
Here
in
Bellevue
for
almost
40
years,
I've
watched,
Bellevue
grow,
but
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
climate
issue
in
general
and
believe
that
Bellevue
being
a
leading
city
both
economically
and
intellectually,
has
a
role
and
an
obligation
to
do
everything
it
possibly
can
to
be
a
leader
in
this
existential
issue
for
the
United
States
and
for
the
world
you've
heard
the
saying
all
politics
is
local.
This
Preem
Court
has
said
on
occasion
that
the
states
and
cities
are
the
laboratories
of
the
development
of
the
constitutional
issues
in
laws
in
this
country.
V
Bellevue
is
such
a
laboratory
and
I
encourage
it
to
be
a
leading
laboratory
and
the
issues
of
climate
change.
I
know
you're
gonna
be
dealing
with
this
next
week,
but
I
can't
be
here
on
Tuesday
and
you've
moved
the
date
because
of
the
holiday
to
Tuesday.
Apologize
I
have
two
grandchildren,
seven
and
eight
years
old.
They
will
live
into
the
22nd
century,
God
willing,
unless
something
is
done
in
the
next
ten
or
fifteen
years,
in
a
dramatic
way
by
cities
like
Bellevue
states
like
Washington
and
countries
like
the
United
States
and
indeed
the
whole
world.
V
Those
children
will
have
a
world
that
is
unimaginably
inhospitable
to
their
life
and
their
livelihood
and
their
ability
to
enjoy
that
life.
I
suggest
that
in
your
sustainability
plans,
you
do
more
to
increase
the
rate
of
vehicle
electrification
for
the
City
of
Bellevue,
so
that
when
I'm
driving
around
I'm
encouraged
to
get
an
electric
vehicle,
because
the
city's
been
doing
that
you
have
trucks
that
could
be
electrified
because
they're
not
driving
hundreds
of
miles
in
distance,
they're
driving
locally
I,
encourage
you
to
devote
some
percentage
of
storm
and
surface
water.
V
Drainage
would
revenues
to
plantings,
not
necessarily
in
the
city
but
to
fund
plantings
elsewhere.
This
is
an
a
sustainability
issue.
That's
going
on
throughout
the
country,
I
encourage
you
to
monitor
our
recycle
program
to
make
sure
that
our
recycling
contractors
aren't
just
hauling
stuff
to
the
dump
or
shipping
it
overseas
where
it's
dumped.
It
does
us
no
good
to
pay
for
recycling
only
to
find
that
that
material
that
we
thought
was
being
reused
is
being
dumped.
I,
encourage
to
say
to
continue
to
lead
on
solar.
V
A
V
O
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
Vishnu

Bellevue
Washington
Knight
0:07
I
care
about
climate,
because
it
decides
the
future
of
our
youth.
Today
sure
we
may
not
directly
see
the
impacts
of
climate
change
in
our
community,
but
if
we
don't
take
action,
it
will
affect
my
generation
and
later
generations
to
come
last
generation.
The
preventative
measures
taken
to
mitigate
climate
change
were
not
enough
to
completely
solve
the
problem,
even
though
we'll
have
to
work
harder
than
previous
generations.
O
We
still
have
to
prevent
this
problem
before
it
becomes
too
large
for
us
to
fix.
Thank
you
for
the
plan
update,
that's
being
made
for
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative
this
year.
I'm
excited
because
this
is
truly
a
time
where
many
excellent
programs
and
plans
are
being
developed
locally
and
across
the
country
for
how
cities
can
make
a
difference
for
the
climate.
Update
or
plan
now
means
that
stat
our
staff
and
the
consultant
can
tap
into
that
growing
body
of
knowledge
and
ideas
for
taking
climate
action
in
cities.
O
The
name
Bellevue
is
derived
from
the
French
words
for
a
beautiful
view,
because
that
was
how
it
was
seen
when
I
was
first
settled
and
I
would
like
it
to
keep
it
that
way.
I'm
grateful
that
the
ESI
Plan
Update
is
giving
a
closer
look
at
climate
action,
because
it
will
be
the
first
step
towards
reaching
a
more
sustainable
future
I'm,
hoping
that
this
update
ESI
plan,
one
could
bold
targets
for
taking
climate
action
and
I
support
the
council
in
setting
these
board
targets.
Thank
you
again.
O
Q
W
Karen
Morris
my
addresses
on
file
on
the
ten
encampment
ordinance
issue.
The
narrative
has
been
controlled
far
too
long
from
predominantly
one
perspective.
The
other
perspective
was
always
there
doing
research
presenting
info
and
pleading
to
be
heard
and
taken
into
consideration
when
decisions
were
being
made.
That
has
happened
far
too
little
and
needs
to
change.
W
During
current
process,
city
staff
have
presented
almost
no
information
from
this
perspective
and
pretended
that
our
concerns
would
be
addressed
by
a
couple
of
already
granted
or
proven
ineffective
changes
that
needs
to
stop
now
ignored
has
been
the
fact
that
my
neighborhood
has
repeatedly,
over
the
years
met
with
city
staff
from
numerous
departments
and
often
presented
list
of
specific
changes
to
procedures
or
regulations.
We
thought
necessary
to
address
problems
that
have
persisted
for
years
and
still
not
been
addressed.
W
These
lists,
however,
have
seemingly
been
ignored
and
those
who
have
them
have
not
seen
fit
to
enter
them
into
the
current
discussion
on
ordinance
changes.
The
issues
we
raised
at
our
focus
group
meeting
were
summed
up
by
city
staff
as
winning
increased
accountability
and
responsibility,
but
we
see
nothing
in
the
current
proposal
to
substantively
address
that
we
have
provided
in
the
past
specific
changes.
We
thought
would
begin
addressing
these
problems
since
the
city
does
not
apparently
intend
to
present
our
suggestions
for
consideration.
We
must
do
so
ourselves.
W
I
begin
that
tonight,
by
providing
you
with
some
past
communications
and
list
of
proposed
changes
that
we
have
submitted
to
the
planning
department,
the
City
Council,
the
police
department
and
the
mediation
department.
Some
was
also
presented
at
meetings
where
other
departments
such
as
legal
were
present
proposed
changes
from
one
perspective.
I'm
sorry,
changes
from
one
perspective
are
proposed
and
those
from
the
other
have
been
left
out
and
ignored.
I
urge
you
to
read
through
this
these
materials
and
consider
the
following
for
consideration
during
the
current
process.
Recurrent
warrant
and
sex
offender
checks.
W
President
presence
of
neighbourhood
representative
that
meeting
where
safety
and
security
decisions
are
made,
lowering
the
number
of
residents
allowed
to
60
define
and
control
loitering
in
the
neighborhood
to
stop
problems
in
Hillary
park
and
neighborhood,
open
spaces,
neutral
or
objective
entity,
holding
a
copy
of
the
list
of
residents
and
more
effective
oversight
by
the
host
in
consequences
for
lapses
in
oversight.
These
would
potentially
address
some
of
the
problems
as
to
our
opinions
on
the
other
proposals
and
on
the
information
presented
so
far
that
will
come
later.
W
What
you
have
here
are
public
comment
at
previous
City
Council
meetings
at
the
public
meetings
on
before
encampments.
The
lists
of
changes
that
we
have
presented
at
those
the
list
that
we
have
presented
at
the
request
of
certain
staff
members,
something
we
presented
any
meeting
with
the
police
chief,
something
we
presented
at
the
mediation.
This
is
to
show
you
that
there's
a
long
history
of
us
bringing
these
same
things
forward
and
they
should
have
gone
into
this
process.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

My
name
is

Randall's,

Place
southeast
apartment,
a
198,
0:07
imabelle
be
resident
and
worker,
but
I'm.
Also
environmental
sciences,
student
at
the
University
of
Washington
Seattle,
so
I
attended
the
SU
workshop
back
on
October
1st
and
I
sincerely
really
appreciate
being
given
the
time
and
space
to
collaborate
with
some
fellow
community
members
and
city
officials
about
how
we
want
our
city
to
face.
X
The
challenge
of
climate
change
and
honestly
going
to
the
meeting
was
really
cathartic
and
heartwarming,
because
the
message
that
I
heard
of
the
meeting
was
very
clear
to
me.
It
was
that
Bellevue
wants
to
be
on
the
leading
edge
of
sustainability
in
the
region.
So
the
other
night
we
did
a
round
a
dot
voting
for
each
of
the
city's
proposed
sustainability
sectors
and
from
what
I
saw
there
was
unanimous
support
behind
our
city
being
carbon
neutral
for
2050.
X
Nearly
all
residents
wanted
to
be
on
the
forefront
of
reducing
our
waste
of
EMT
and
energy
use,
while
increasing
tree
canopy
and
renewable
energy
and
with
the
climate
crisis
on
our
hands,
it's
all
the
more
important
that
we
act
swiftly
and
boldly.
So,
just
as
a
general
New
Year's
resolution
this
year,
I've
been
trying
to
read
more
and
earlier
this
year.
I
picked
up
a
copy
of
this
changes.
Everything
by
Naomi
Klein,
which
is
a
really
great
book.
X
I,
cannot
recommend
it
enough
really,
well-written
and
as
a
person
who
already
understood
the
dangers
of
climate
change
relatively
well.
It
was
really
sobering
just
to
hear
how
big
and
how
large-scale
the
problem
really
is.
So
just
a
brief
factoid
that
you
mentioned,
she
mentions
the
study
from
2011
that
found
that
to
keep
warming
within
the
2
degrees,
Celsius,
that's
recommended
by
scientists
to
avoid
at
the
largest
of
impacts
of
climate
change,
we
need
to
burn
less
than
565
gigatons
of
oils,
that's
565
billion
tons,
which
admittedly
may
sound
like
a
lot.
X
But
if
you
take
a
look
at
the
known
oil
reserves
in
the
world
today,
that's
2.7
trillion
tons
so
five
times
more
than
what
we
know
we
can
burn.
We
know
already
exists
in
the
ground,
so
we
need
to
keep
it
there
and
was
such
a
big
problem.
I
know
that
some
might
ask
well
what
role
can
Bellevue
play
in
this
issue
and
I
would
counter
that
with
such
a
big
problem,
I
think
it's
important
that
we
have
action
at
all
levels
of
civil
society.
X
I've
been
really
encouraged,
so
I've
actually
spoken
with
council
members
on
when
we
met
at
the
lake
hills
NEP
meeting,
and
we
had
a
brief
conversation
about
the
importance
of
by
a
comprehensive
bike
network
and
how
that
can
provide
people
with
a
greater
and
greener
option
for
mobility.
More
sustainable
as
well.
X
I
also
wanted
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
councilmember
Stokes,
but
he's
not
here
this
evening
for
I
also
saw
him
as
well
at
the
East
Trail
regional
advisory
council
meeting
and
I
really
got
the
vibe
that
he
is
committed
to
having
a
comprehensive,
inclusive
and
extensive
trail
network.
So
I
know
this
council
is
committed
to
environmental
stability
and
I'm,
looking
forward
to
seeing
this
city
being
a
leader
going
forward
and
paving
the
way
to
showing
work,
the
inner
Britain
can
look
like.
So.
Thank
you
all
great.
A
Q
Y
Good
evening,
council
members,
mr.
mayor,
my
name
is
Ellis.
Bloom
I
live
at
1010,
Rosemont
Boulevard
in
Bellevue,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
Northeast
Bellevue
and
crossroads
residents,
and
would
like
to
start
by
thanking
you
for
listening
to
the
residents
who
have
grown
really
frustrated
with
the
current
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
process
for
listening
to
planning,
commissioners,
who
are
also
frustrated
by
the
process
for
listening
to
staff,
we're
probably
the
most
frustrated
by
the
process,
but,
most
importantly,
for
willing
to
take
action
to
fix
the
broken
process.
Y
A
staff
report
shows
that,
over
the
last
11
years,
nearly
60%
of
privately
initiated
cpa
applications
have
been
withdrawn
and
41%
of
those
were
resubmit
AHS.
Clearly,
the
intent
of
the
current
3-year
limitation
criterion
has
been
circumvented
by
the
majority
of
private
applicants.
The
proposed
amendment
would
have
the
three
ere
limitation
apply
as
soon
as
the
CP
application
is
filed.
This
seems
a
better
interpretation
of
the
intent
of
the
criteria.
It
will
ulema
eliminate
frivolous
applications
of
the
kind.
Let's
tweak
it
a
bit,
throw
it
at
the
wall
and
see
if
it
sticks
this
time.
Y
Also,
it
will
drive
development
to
those
areas
targeted
for
growth
in
our
comprehensive
plan.
It'll
also
encourage
developers
to
engage
with
the
community
before
they
file
for
a
comprehensive
plan
amendment.
The
second
proposed
change
would
put
a
moratorium
on
privately
initiated
CP
applications
for
neighborhoods,
going
through
the
great
neighborhoods
planning
process.
This
will
free
up
both
staff
and
residents
to
fully
fully
focus
on
a
project
at
hand
which
will
give
each
process
or
each
project
the
attention
it
deserves.
Y
Otherwise,
you
risk
that
resources
are
stretched
too
thinly,
people
will
burn
out
and
neither
project
can
come
to
fruition.
Moreover,
this
proposal
would
allow
neighborhoods
to
craft
of
vision
for
their
neighborhood
without
that
threat
of
CP
applications
that
would
disrupt
the
entire
process
and
I
go
against
that
vision.
The
third
proposed
change
is
with
respect
to
the
application
submission
deadline.
It
would
allow
all
parties
more
time
to
process
a
CPA,
so
in
summary,
we
support
the
changes
to
the
comprehensive
plan
amendment
process,
as
proposed
by
staff
and
a
Planning
Commission.
Thank
you.
Thank.
P
Michele,
a
timer
1,
5,
8,
9

north
of
weibo
B
Washington
I,
want
to
thank
you
for
the
really
great
dialogue
and
conversation
in
the
study
session
right
before
this
it
was.
It
was
great
to
listen
to
all
of
your
comments
and
kind
of
hear
the
hear
the
discussion
and
the
thought
that
goes
into
making
important
changes
like
this
I
thought
it
was
important
to
just
reground
us
and
why
we're
here-
and
we
are
here
because
the
current
process
is
broken
and
I-
think
the
intent
of
the
incurrent
rules
were.
P
If
you
filed
an
application
and
the
application
was
denied,
it
would
go
all
the
way
through
the
process.
I,
don't
think
whoever
wrote
the
rules
long
time
ago
foresaw
this
withdrawal
process
happening.
So
the
original
intent
was
that
something
would
get
filed.
We
talked
about
it,
we'd
make
a
decision
and
you'd
be
locked
out
for
three
years.
So
I,
don't
think
a
two-year
rule
is
is
a
punitive
type
rule.
All
we're
trying
to
do
is
fix
the
current
process
and
having
three
years
to
put
a
pause
on
things
is
a
reasonable
time.
P
It's
what
everybody
expected
and
it
was
really
interesting
at
the
Planning
Commission
meeting.
Everyone
was
an
agreement
that
spoke
at
the
public
hearing
and
I
encouraged
it
I'll
go
back
and
read
they
read
the
testimony.
The
residents
were
in
favor
and
attorneys
for
developers
were
in
favor
of
the
process.
I
was
shocked.
I
was
not
expecting
that,
but
they
actually
saw
this
as
a
good
change
as
well,
because
it
provides
clarity
for
all
parties.
P
So
I
encourage
you
to
go
back,
think
about
it
and
I,
don't
think
we
need
to
Oh
or
think
things
right
now
the
current
process
isn't
working.
The
intent
was,
let's
file
an
application.
Wait
three
years
see
what
happens
and
then
come
back
in
and
revisit
it.
So
I
encourage
you
to
think
about
what
staff
came
for
came
forth
with
the
proposal.
P
They
spent
a
lot
of
time
thinking
through
what
was
the
right
tweaks
to
the
process
so
that
we
could
fix
the
process
and
I
think
if
we
make
those
changes,
things
will
be
in
a
much
better
place
and
as
we
get
into
the
you
know,
the
major
Comprehensive
Plan
Update.
We
can
take
a
look
at
some
of
these
larger
more.
P
You
know,
they're,
actually
comprehensive
plan,
the
really
comprehensive
plan
amendments
you
can't
make
major
zoning
changes
like
a
lot
of
these
repeat.
Applications
are
proposing
without
looking
at
how
does
it
impact
transportation
utilities,
schools,
residents,
there's
so
many
things
that
it
impacts
that
it
needs
to
be
done
in
a
large
update
process
like
the
comprehensive
plan
and
not
in
these
little
amendments.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
P
A
Z
In
Manuel,
Solis
24,
4760,
First
Avenue
ignore
this.
Thank
you
for
the
time.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
you
and
thank
you
for
this
great
discussion.
Do
you
think
that
Valley
View
has
a
vision?
Well,
Wade
wants
to
go.
I
certainly
hope
so,
and
it's
defined
as
one
of
the
kind
of
actually
zoo
is
part
of
the
vision
of
the
City.
Council
have
a
longer
term
idea
of
what
the
city
should
go.
Z
The
CPA
is
pretty
much
the
letter
of
that
vision.
What
you
see
it's
happening
and
it's
where
we
want
the
city
to
go
so
the
CPA.
As
major
chamonix
said,
it's
not
a
fluid
document.
It's
not
something
that
you
want
to
change
every
two
years.
If
you
feel
that
your
vision
is
changing
every
two
years,
we
have
a
problem,
we're
not
going
anywhere
fast.
Actually
we're
not
going
anywhere
so
think
about
that
two-year
term.
I!
Think
three
years:
it's
it's
a
better
term
it.
It
should
be
consistent
with
your
vision.
Z
Don't
act
out
of
fear
act
out
of
vision.
Where
do
we
want
to
go?
Not
where
what
could
happen?
That
is
wrong.
In
our
vision,
if
you
think
that
the
vision
is
wrong,
there's
there's
ways
to
change
that.
If
there's
a
project
that
has
where
this
CD
the
developer
and
the
community
have
the
same
vision,
there's
ways
to
bring
that
forward,
the
City
Council
initiated
CPS.
It's
the
obvious
choice.
Z
Z
Iii
want
the
city,
the
developers
and
the
community
to
engage
and
drive
that
vision,
not
the
fear
or
not
just
the
developer
interests.
I
will
encourage
you
to
accept
the
staff
recommendation.
I
think
a
lot
of
people,
a
lot
of
energy,
a
lot
of
thought
and
a
lot
of
data
went
into
it.
I
caution
you
that
again,
the
discussion
was
great.
I.
Think
there's
a
lot
of
thought.
You
also
are
putting
a
lot
of
thought.
Z
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
believe
that
that's
also
three.
On
the
comprehensive
plan
amendment
we
had
another
general
comment
on
the
comprehensive
plan
amendment.
This
was
more
specific
to
the
issue
that
the
council
is
considering.
So
that's
why
I
allowed
the
the
three
speakers
and
then
also
miss
Johnston?
Is
there
anybody
else
who
has
signed
up.
M
A
And
we're
pretty
close
to
that
half
hour,
so
I'm
going
to
close
the
public
comment
period,
and
thank
you
all
for
for
being
here
and
for
keeping
us
moving.
We
are
now
moving
on
to.
There
are
no
reports
of
community
councils
boards
or
commissions
we're
moving
on
to
what
are
now
three
reports
of
the
city
manager
and
we
have
added
the
development
services
fee
update
to
that
mr.
city
manager.
Do
you
want
to
how
do
we
want
to
do
those.
B
They,
the
holdover
from
the
study
session.
Okay,
is
the
development
services.
Okay,
doesn't
mine,
so
tonight's
session
is
part
of
the
mid
biennium
budget
update
tonight.
Staff
will
provide
a
presentation
on
two
specific
topics
related
to
the
city's
mid,
buy
budget
process.
One
is
the
proposed
adjustment
to
permit
fees.
The
second
is
a
request
at
6ft
positions
to
respond
to
the
continued
growth
and
workload
tonight,
staff
will
review
the
results
of
the
annual
cost
a
service
study
on
and
how
that
informs
the
proposed
fee.
AA
AA
What's
to
come
so
last
week
you
saw
or
heard
a
quick
update
on
the
made
by
budget
calendar
tonight
we
are
in
front
of
council
to
share
the
proposed
updates
to
the
development
services
fees
and
a
request
for
additional
staff
support
as
city
manager
Miyake
mentioned
next
week.
You
have
an
overview
of
the
general
fund
forecast
and
by
adjustments
and
some
other
topics
on
the
18th
study
session,
review
of
the
capital
and
operating
budget
adjustments
and
then
on
the
25th,
follow
up
on
any
council
items
or
questions.
AA
And
then
that
is
the
night
of
the
evening
that
the
public
hearing
will
be
held
on
the
proposed
adjustments
to
the
mid
biennium
budget
and
then
tentatively
December
2nd
would
be
the
evening
that
the
council
would
act.
Excuse
me
there'd,
be
a
series
of
topics
in
front
of
the
council
that
the
council
would
act
on,
including
the
fees
proposed
this
evening.
Property
tax
levy,
ordinance
property
tax,
Bank
capacity
resolution
and
several
other
topics
of
it
generally
be
come
before
the
council
for
budget
updates.
AA
AA
These
are
passed
through
fees
collected
by
the
city
but
undelivered
to
the
Issaquah
and
rent
and
school
districts,
and
then
a
request
for
additional
FTE
support
on
these
would
be
fee
supported
positions
and
development
services
to
respond
to
the
continuing
growth
in
development
activity
in
the
city,
so
I'm
going
to
hand
over
that
clicker
to
Miss
Jones,
she
will
walk
through
the
fee
adjustments
and
then
I
will
talk
a
bit
more
about
kind
of
current
development
activity
and
the
need
for
additional
positions.
Terri
thank.
U
You,
the
proposed
rates,
are
a
result
of
our
annual
cost
of
service
study
and
fee
analysis
that
ensures
that
we
are
maintaining
alignment
with
our
financial
policies
and
our
cost
recovery
objectives.
Our
financial
principles
are
that
our
funding
should
support
the
development
services
line
of
business
through
the
economic
cycles.
Our
permit
applicants
should
pay
for
the
services
that
they
receive.
Our
fees
should
be
predictable
and
understandable
to
the
customer
and
that
we
are
regionally
competitive.
U
U
Ok,
there
we
go.
Thank
you.
Our
building
fee
adjustments
are
to
update
the
valuation
data
table
published
by
the
International
Code
Council
and
updates
for
cpi-w
inflation
of
1.7
percent
and
the
Washington
State
modifier,
which
decreased
from
one
point
one
six
to
one
point,
one:
five
to
align
with
the
Washington
State
construction
costs.
U
The
proposed
increases
to
the
hourly
rates
range
from
two
point:
four,
to
two
point:
eight
percent:
to
recover
the
increase
in
our
costs
for
services
and
updates
for
permit
types
with
our
flat
fees
include
the
hourly
rate
changes
and
the
average
review
and
inspection
time.
So
this
chart
shows
the
proposed
hourly
rates
for
land
use,
transportation,
fire
and
utilities
review
and
inspection,
and
the
rates
increased
by
four
to
five
dollars,
and
these
are
derived
from
the
total
cost
to
perform
the
services.
U
Examples
of
the
few
changes
for
the
proposed
adjustments
are
shown
in
this
slide
for
the
flat
fee
examples.
There
are
two
changes
in
fees
for
two
common
types
of
permits:
a
temporary
use
fee
for
land
use,
review
would
increase
by
four
dollars,
and
the
fire
inspection
fee
on
a
mechanical
permit
would
increase
by
eight
dollars
a
couple
evaluation
based
permit
examples
include
fees
for
review
and
inspection
work.
That's
required
to
complete
the
permit
in
the
case
of
a
minor
commercial
project.
U
The
change
in
fee
would
be
one
hundred
and
thirteen
dollars
and
for
a
single-family,
five
hundred
square
foot
addition,
the
fee
would
decrease
by
$10,
and
this
is
where
process
improvements
result
in
a
lower
cost
to
the
customer
to
ensure
that
we're
regionally
competitive
we've
compared
our
fees
to
our
neighbor
jurisdictions,
and
this
chart
is
for
the
comparison
of
500
square
foot.
Single-Family
addition,
the
light
blue
bar
is
the
2020
proposed
fees
and
just
below
it
are
their
current
2019
fees.
U
AA
Just
a
couple
quick
comments
about
the
school
impact
fees
as
I
mentioned.
These
are
a
method
that
both
ayzik
wah
and
Renton
school
districts
use
to
fund
their
capital
programs.
These
are
updated
annually
and
then
we
collect
them
for
the
school
districts
as
a
pass-through
and
we
issue
building
permits
and
again
there's
no,
no
revenue
that
is
collected
and
kept
by
by
this
by
the
City
of
Bellevue,
real,
quick,
the
school
districts.
AA
We,
the
residents
of
the
city
of
Bellevue,
are
served
by
four
different
school
Dristan
districts,
the
Bellevue
School
District,
obviously
the
largest
Lake
Washington,
School
District,
a
very
small
area
in
the
northern
part
of
the
city
and
then
the
Issaquah
in
Renton
school
districts
in
the
south
part
of
the
city.
The
impact
fee,
adjustments
being
proposed
by
Issaquah
and
Renton
affect
both
the
single-family
and
multi-family
residential
projects.
AA
The
single-family
permit
fee
or
excuse
me
impact
fee
for
those
across
school
district
is
dropping
by
seven
hundred
seventy
five
dollars
with
an
increase
in
the
multifamily
of
five
thousand
five
hundred
eighty
three
for
a
total
of
nine
thousand
five
hundred
eighty
three
to
bring
it
in
closer
alignment
with
the
single
family.
Again,
these
are
based
on
the
capital
facilities
plan
needs
and
then
the
student
generation
rate
per
in
housing
units
for
these
different
residential
use
types
similar
experience
with
Renton,
with
a
reduction
in
the
single-family
and
an
increase
in
the
multifamily
again.
AA
These
are
passed
through
fees
collected
by
the
city,
so
just
a
few
words
about
kind
of
the
continuing
development
activity
in
the
city.
This
ongoing
high
level
of
development
and
we've
been
experiencing
for
the
past
five
plus
years
is
continuing
to
come
through
the
city.
We
have
seen
a
mix
of
development
types.
It's
actually
seen
a
significant
amount
of
change,
in
addition
to
the
built
environment
in
our
growth
areas
is
where
the
focus
has
been
both
in
their
Bell
read
in
the
downtown,
primarily,
but
also
in
the
East
Gate
and
some
in
the
Crossroads
area.
AA
We
have
increased
staffing,
as
is
typical
as
we
climb
the
development
cycle
and
have
expanded
the
use
of
technology
and,
as
you
heard
me
report
out
earlier
this
year,
we've
reached
100%
paperless,
permitting
as
one
of
our
technology
improvements
in
investments
in
technology
and
we're
always
working
to
improve.
So
in
the
in
the
mid
buy
budget
amendments,
we
are
proposing
the
addition
of
6ft
es.
We
would
only
hire
these
positions
if
the
workload
and
the
revenue
supports
them.
AA
We
have
essentially
exhausted
all
the
positions
that
have
been
allocated
to
us
as
we've
been
continuing
to
feel
this
development
hit
the
city
we
want
to
make
sure
we
are
delivering
our
custom
on
our
customers,
expectations
for
predictable
and
timely
services
to
them.
So
I'm
just
going
to
show
a
couple
of
quick
graphs
that
really
show
the
profile
of
development
development
activity
that
we're
seeing.
AA
One
of
the
major
metrics
we
watch
is
how
many
permits
that
were
processing
continuing
to
see
a
little
bit
of
a
bounce
up
this
year
and
estimated
going
into
next
we've
added
some
new
permits,
particularly
for
the
small
sell
Wireless.
That
will
push
that
up
a
bit
as
well
as
the
ongoing
residential
and
commercial
activity.
Our
construction
valuation
remains
high.
We
really
started
ramping
back
up
again
in
the
2013
timeframe
and
have
been
bouncing
around
here.
At
the
you
know,
700
million
plus
range
for
the
last
five
years.
AA
The
largest
kind
of
impact
comes
from
the
kind
of
red
and
white
striped
bar,
which
are
the
major
commercial
projects
that
we
see
around
town
with
tower
cranes
swinging
to
the
east,
over
bail
red
and
in
the
downtown.
This
is
a
quick
just
show
of
the
review
and
inspection
positions
and
development
services.
These
are
those
that
we,
we
add
and
we
downsize
as
necessary,
which
we've
gone
through
the
last
couple
of
development
cycles,
where
we've
ramped
up
and
then
subsequently,
on
the
downside,
reduced
our
staffing
levels
commensurate
with
a
drop
in
workload
in
revenues.
AA
So
again
those
positions
would
help
us
continue
to
meet
that
demand
out,
as
it
continues
to
come
at
us.
So
a
quick
summary
tonight.
What
we
are
seeking
is
council
a
direction
to
advance
the
updated
consolidated
fee
ordinance
with
the
adjustments
that
were
described
that
mrs.
Jones
to
bring
forward
the
ordinance
to
update
the
impact
fees
for
the
rent
and
rentin
and
is
across
school
districts
and
amend
the
development
services
budget
to
add
or
authorize
six
additional
FTE
positions
that
would
be
filled
only
when
necessary
and
supported
by
permit
fee
revenue.
M
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mike
for
the
thorough
information
I
did
have
a
couple
of
questions.
One
is
in
the
packet.
It
talks
about
the
fact
that
we
do
leverage
consultants
to
do
some
of
this
work.
So
it
looks
like
we
have
about
a
hundred
and
twenty
FTEs.
How
many
consultants
are
currently
being
utilized
and
are
we
converting
some
of
those
to
FTEs
or,
in
addition,
so.
AA
We
are
actually
at
trying
to
add
some
additional
consultants
to
the
ability
to
respond
to
development.
As
far
as
the
number
of
consulting
contracts,
I
would
have
to
go.
Get
the
exact
number
we're
probably
between
twenty
and
thirty
different
consultants
that
we
use
for
different
disciplines,
so
structural
review,
geotechnical
review,
transportation,
review,
etc.
So
we
are
continuing
to
work
to
kind
of
build
our
consultant
option,
because
that
is
the
quickest
place
we
can
go
to
have
bring
support
in.
AA
AA
Bellevue
school
district
does
not
use
impact
fees
to
support
their
capital
programs
so
and
like
why
I
understand
like
Washington
does
not
either
so
just
the
Renton
and
is
across
school
districts,
and
that
is
really
at
their
discretion.
The
Bellevue
school
board
has
elected
not
to
use
that
option.
Okay,.
M
And
then
the
last
one
is
I
really
appreciate
the
fact
that
we
with
our
paperless
that
we're
able
to
be
more
efficient
and
effective-
and
it
looks
like
some
of
the
rates
are
up-
the
fees
are
actually
going
down.
So
I
appreciate
that
I
think
that
sometimes
the
most
frustrating
part
of
this
process
is
the
process
and
the
number
of
steps
and
the
paperwork.
So
the
more
we
streamline
I
think
it's
a
win-win
for
everybody.
Thanks
councilmember.
L
AA
V
AA
L
And
then,
currently,
these
six
FTEs
currently
looking
at
right
now
are
those
all
support
positions,
or
are
they
going
to
be
across
the
board
different
roles
as
well,
and
are
you
gonna
experience
the
same,
maybe
recruitment,
issues
as
you're
saying
with
other
positions.
So
my
long-term
question
here
on
this
on
long
term,
growth
for
your
department
is
what
else
can
we
do
to
ensure
that,
because
I
know
your
your
department
is
is
is
its
tacks
on
looking
at
this?
You
know
this
growth
chart
here.
L
AA
Recommendation
that
we're
advancing
now,
we
think,
along
with
additional
consultants,
that
I
just
described
in
other
things,
we're
doing
should
meet
our
needs.
If
we
find
that
we
need
more
in
our
revenue
and
workload
is
climbing,
we
probably
would
be
coming
back
and
knock
on
the
council
door
again
and
ask
for
some
additional
help,
but
we
are
pretty
confident
that
right
now
we're
in
pretty
good
shape.
We
can
get
our
vacant
positions
refilled
and
and
with
these
additional
positions,
to
deploy
as
needed,
that
we
can
continue
to
meet
the
need.
Okay,.
L
On
the
question,
though,
on
what
else
we
need
to
do
in
order
to
recruit
and
attract
talent
to
the
City
of
Bellevue?
Are
there
other
things
that
we
should
be
looking
at
more
creative
ways
to
fill
those
open
positions
and
I
know
that
development
services-
probably
not
alone
in
this
issue-
that's
probably
across
departments,
but
are
we
looking
at
different
creative
ways
to
attract
talent
as
well,
so.
AA
We
are
working
with
our
human
resources
department
staff
to
look
at
different
options
to
make
sure
we're
as
competitive
as
we
can
be
out
there.
Not
only
not
you
know
getting
out
and
making
the
right
connections
and
networking,
but
also
making
sure
we're
competitive
in
the
workplace
that
we
offer
the
challenging
work
that
we
offer
etc.
So
we're
trying
to
do
a
good
job
of
marketing,
ourselves
and
I
think
that's
a
big
part
of
it.
We
have
been
successful
in
bringing
in
some
great
new
talent.
AA
J
Gross
you
know
we
are
experiencing.
That's
amazing,
especially.
You
know
what
you
do
in
the
100%
paperless
application.
These
are
the
use
of
technology,
and
you
know
innovation,
I
hope
you
can
keep
doing
those
things
in
terms
of
your
staffing.
Of
course,
it's
always
challenged
people,
resources
and,
of
course,
button
and
money.
Are
we
still
using
temporary
full-time
equivalents?
Is
that
one
relief
that
love
that
you
use
so.
AA
The
the
temporary
employees
are
the
limited
term
employees.
We
call
them
that
they'd
only
last
for
a
maximum
of
three
years
isn't
something
that
we
found
to
be
very
successful
in
particularly
in
a
competitive.
You
know.
Job
market
like
today
as
councilmember
new
in-house
was
was
mentioning,
so
we
really
go
out
in
hire
FTEs,
but
the
reality
is,
you
know.
As
we
go
on
the
downside
of
a
development
cycle,
you
need
to
downsize
our
staffing
levels
as
revenues
fall
off.
So
there's
no
position
it's
forever.
AA
AA
A
So
I
does
everybody
support,
moving
forward
having
them
draft
up
the
ordinance
I'm
seeing
nods
to
do
that.
I
do
have
question
procedural
on
the
impact
fees,
so
the
development
fees
will
come
back
when
we're
doing
the
mid
buy
as
we
get
toward
the
that's
the
first
Monday
for
passage.
It's
the
first
Monday
of
December
I
believe
are
the
development
impact
fees?
Do
they
come
back
separately.
AA
A
Yeah,
if
we
can
bring
that,
if
we,
if
we
can
figure
out,
you
can
get
the
paperwork
done
and
and
bring
them
back
on
consent
as
long
as
counsels.
Okay,
with
that
I'm
seeing
nods,
we
can
get
that
out
of
the
way
and
not
have
to
worry
about
any
discussion
on
that
when
we're
finalizing
the
mid
bye.
Okay,
okay,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation.
Thank
you.
We
have
our
next
presentation,
which
I'm
gonna,
since
we
added
what
I'm
just
going
to
turn
it
over
your
city
manager
to
decide
the.
B
Next,
one
is
on
winter
weather
preparedness.
This
item
relates
to
the
upcoming
winter
and
how
we're
getting
ready
for
that.
We
wanted
to
provide
you
an
update
on
our
you
know
our
preparedness
and
response
efforts
underway
and
with
that
I'm
just
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
over
to
mark
poor
assistant,
transpiration
director,
for
a
presentation
and
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
AB
AB
Okay,
great
so
just
a
brief
update
tonight
on
our
winter
weather
preparedness
and
as
the
city
manager
mentioned,
we're
also
gonna,
highlight
tonight
some
enhancements
that
we've
made
in
the
area
of
communications
in
terms
of
preparedness.
We
start
looking
at
the
seasonal
outlook.
This
year
is
a
neutral
year,
not
a
LAN,
La,
Nina
or
El
Nino
year.
So
a
broad
variety
of
weather
is
to
be
expected,
and
even
though
we
look
at
the
seasonal
outlook,
we
only
really
use
it
for
information.
AB
What's
more
useful
to
us
is:
is
the
0
to
14
day
weather
forecast
that
helps
us
with
our
tactics
and
deciding
how
to
prepare
equipment
and
do
interdepartmental
coordination
to
help
us
with
that?
We
subscribe
to
weather
net
at
Bellevue
based
weather
company.
That
gives
us
consistent
forecasts
day
after
day
and
then,
when
we
have
an
event,
we
can
actually
call
them
and
talk
to
a
meteorologist
to
help
us
with
that
day's
preparations
for
weather
response
terms
of
equipment
and
materials.
We
did
go
through
all
of
our
equipment.
AB
This
summer,
our
plows
and
our
Sanders
everything
serviced
and
ready
to
go.
We
finished
stocking
our
materials,
our
sand
and
our
liquid
de-icers
in
October,
so
we're
fully
stocked
and
so
we're
ready
to
go
in
that
area.
Very
important
thing
that
we
do
each
year
is
our
interdepartmental
training
transportation
on
our
own
does
not
have
the
resources,
the
staff
or
the
equipment
to
adequately
respond
to
a
significant
with
winter
weather
event.
So
we
do
depend
on
the
utilities,
parks
and
finance
and
asset
management
departments
to
help
us
with
that.
AB
So
we
do
a
training
day
with
everybody
that
was
completed
this
year
on
October
23rd
and
then
again.
The
events
that
we
prepare
for
transportation
is
LEED
for
snow
ice
and
wind
events,
with
the
support
from
the
other
departments
and
utilities.
Department
is
lead
for
the
flood
events
and
I'm
happy
to
report
that,
as
of
November
1st,
we
are
winter
weather
ready,
so
I
just
briefly
want
to
touch
on
last
year's
event
or
last
winter's
event.
It
was
actually
this
year
and
February,
starting
on
Super
Bowl
Sunday.
That
was
an
extreme
weather
event.
AB
Despite
the
extremity
of
that
event,
we
did
have
an
effective
response,
and
we
outlined
this
for
you
at
her
at
the
February
19
study
session,
all
our
fire
and
police
emergency
calls
were
serviced.
We
actually
did
clear
our
priority
streets
fairly
quickly
and
kept
them
clear
and
had
a
number
of
internal
and
external
communications
internally.
The
office
of
emergency
management
and
transportation
was
constantly
sending
out
updates.
AB
Externally
we
did
have
multiple
website
features
and
email
alerts
to
our
11,000
email
subscribers
we
actually
got
1,100
live
calls
to
our
dispatch
center
out
at
the
Bellevue
service
center.
Most
of
those
calls
were
received
with
a
live
answer,
taking
the
request
for
service
and
also
providing
helpful
information
such
as
where
we're
at
and
our
priority
street
plowing
with
any
big
event,
there's
always
room
for
some
continuous
improvement.
AB
This
includes
some
new
tools
and
trying
to
reach
out
to
an
even
broader
audience
as
an
example.
This
summer
the
comms
team
put
together
I've
commonly
consistently
used
messages
during
winter
weather
events,
and
now
these
messages
can
really
quickly
be
leveraged,
placed
on
Bellevue,
WA,
gov
out
on
our
social
media
and
again
to
broaden
the
audience.
Those
messages
have
been
translated
into
the
top
five
non-english
speaking
languages
here
in
Bellevue,
and
you
can
see
that
at
the
bottom
left
of
this
slide
also,
we've
leveraged
the
very
popular.
AB
It's
your
city
newsletter
and
in
that,
for
the
first
time
we
have
an
insert
on
weather
preparedness.
You
see
that
on
your
slide
and
I'm
holding
it
up
here,
this
provides
extensive
information
how
to
get
help
during
emergencies.
How
do
you
report
hazards
how
to
avoid
common
problems
during
winter
weather,
like
carbon
monoxide
poisoning
or
just
how
we
go
about
servicing
our
streets?
All
that
information
is
included
in
here
and
again
to
to
broaden
the
audience
with
the
help
of
our
a
DA
and
our
title
six
office.
L
First
of
all,
again
tremendous
job
and
staff
last
year
during
or
not
it's
last
year
by
the
February
but
I
think
I
read
in
the
packet
that
you
know
was
like
a
1
in
every
10
years,
kind
of
snowstorm,
so
again
tremendous
job.
Just
a
couple
of
quick
questions
for
you,
you
didn't
you
said
new
tools
we
didn't
mentioned
specifically
what
tools
were
gonna
be
using
going
forward?
Can
you
shed
some
light
on
that.
AB
AB
That
was
highlighting,
you
know,
leverage
it's
your
city
having.
This
is
a
very
first
time
that
we've
done
an
insert
like
this.
Okay
in
the
intercity.
It's
really
the
first
time
that
we've
more
broadly
translated
the
English
language
into
our
top
five
non-english
speaking
languages
here
in
Bellevue,
and-
and
it
is
the
first
time
that
we're
actually
reaching
out
to
the
disabled
community
with
key
messages
just
for
them
greatness.
L
So
that's
what
I
meant
by
okay,
great
and
then
once
that's
live
on
the
website.
Are
we
gonna
share
that
aggressively
across
all
social
media
platforms
and
across
the
app
and
everything
else?
Cuz
I
just
feel
like
now's
the
time
to
be
sharing
this
before
people
are
frustrated
because
their
neighborhood
or
their
street
hasn't
been
plowed
and
a
couple
of
days
so
I
think
the
more
information
we
can
share
now,
the
better
off
we
are
so.
L
AB
L
H
Amazing
job
I
know
many
of
the
people,
the
public
don't
know,
but
we
had
staff
who
couldn't
get
home
working
on
the
winter
weather
response
and
they
were
sharing
hotel
room
was
working
12
hours
on
12
hours
off
for
days
on
end
and
I
hope.
They
know
how
much
the
council
and
the
public
appreciates
the
work
they
did.
H
H
Some
of
them
are
very
high
and
although
we
were
very
good
about
clearing
the
priority
routes,
there
were
vast
numbers
of
people
that
couldn't
leave
for
days
and
and
in
the
South
Bellevue
Hills
and
I
couldn't
tell
from
looking
at
the
at
the
service
route
priority
map
in
the
packet.
If
we
have
changed
new
priorities
or
how
we're
going
to
address
other
than
having
the
metal
bits
on
the
plows,
those
South
Bellevue
higher
hills
in
the
future
sure.
AB
So
we
really
haven't
made
any
adjustments
to
the
route
map,
because
what
what
we've
found
is
those
black
routes
are
what
we
call
the
neighborhood
connectors.
We
put
about
25%
of
our
resources
on
that
when
the
snow
is
falling
and
the
75%
go
to
the
red
routes,
we
think
those
are
the
right
routes,
they're
the
best
way
to
connect
the
the
residents
back
to
those
more
major
arterials
and
we
are
limited
with
our
resources.
So
we
can't
just
draw
lots
of
black
routes
on
there
and
how
the
resources
available
to
do
that.
AB
I
think
the
bigger
question
is,
is
when
we
have
another
event
like
this:
how
in
the
world
are
we
gonna
get
that
repeated
snow
than
hard
freeze,
snow
than
horror
freeze?
How
are
we
gonna
get
that
off
the
roadways
and
that's
a
very
tough
nut
to
crack.
We
do
think
the
skill
steel
plow
bits
will
help.
We
aggressively
use
both
solid
and
liquid
the
icers
to
try
to
speed
that
process,
but
when
it
gets
down
to
1213
degrees,
it
just
doesn't
work
as
well.
AB
The
typical
event
we
get
a
snowfall
12
hours
later
we
have
temperatures
above
freezing
and
we're
able
to
really
easily
get
that
off
the
road
and
that's
what
we're
hoping
that
the
other
nine
out
of
10
years
will
have
for
us,
but
other
than
that
I.
We
just
really
don't
have
a
lot
of
magic
bullets
on
how
to
get.
You
know
in
that
type
of
event
how
to
get
those
roads
plowed
faster,
okay,.
H
If
we
do
have
another
big
snow
event,
timing,
the
clearance
of
those
routes
ahead
of
when
we
know
they're
garbage
day
is
I.
Think
that
my
colleague
made
a
good
comment
about
Republic
I
I.
Fortunately,
I
don't
think
I
was
in
that
situation,
but
a
lot
of
my
neighbors
were
because
I
live
in
one
of
those
high
hills
and
yeah.
It's
really
unfortunate
if
you
have
three
weeks
in
a
row
of
missed
service.
H
Finally,
on
the
language,
we
received
a
comment
from
someone
that
taught
me
something
new,
which
is
that
there's
two
types
of
written
Chinese
language,
there's,
simplified
Chinese
and
there's
traditional
and
I-
would
guess
that
most
people
who
live
in
the
United
States,
whether
they
come
from
mainland
China
or
from
Hong
Kong,
would
be
able
to
read
traditional.
But
people
who
come
from
outside
of
mainland
China
may
not
builder
be
simplified.
So
what
are
we
doing?
It
says
it's
in
the
Chinese
language.
What
are
we
doing
on
that?.
X
AB
H
It
would,
it
would
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
attentive
to
that.
If
people
from
mainland
China
can
read
the
traditional,
then
it
seems
like
that
would
be
the
one
to
use
there.
You
order
or
do
both,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
people
from
both
areas
and
who
might
read
different
types
of
Chinese,
which
was
like
I,
said
something
new
to
me.
G
H
You
alrighty
and
then
have
we
given
any
more
thought
to
purchasing
a
pumper
truck
that
can
go
to
the
high
hills.
We
didn't
have
a
problem
with
a
major
fire
on
this
snow
event,
but
we
did
have
many
years
ago
where
the
pumper
truck
actually
couldn't
get
up
the
hill.
So
I
don't
know
if
that's,
maybe
that's
not
in
your
department
mark
but
I
can.
K
I'm
curious
as
to
how
we
lays
with
our
schools
I
know
that
there
is
a
lot
of
trouble
with
that
I'd.
Like
an
answer
to
that
and
also
I
know,
the
u-dub
had
a
program
with
our
city,
where
they
came
up
with
technical
or
technological
solutions
to
a
lot
of
our
city's
problems,
and
one
of
them
was
a
snow
plow
I
recommended
snow
plow
route.
That
was
very
interesting,
so
I'm
wondering
if
we're
utilizing
that
recommendation
at
all.
Okay.
AB
So,
on
the
second
question,
not
familiar
with
that
I'm,
not
ready
to
answer
that
tonight.
Well,
we'll
try
to
get
information
on
that.
On
the
first
question
about
the
school
districts
we
reach
out
to
both
Bellevue
school
district
and
is
a
claw
school
district
each
year
and
in
fact
we
have
that
meeting
set
up
for
November
15th
we've
had
some
issues
trying
to
coordinate
with
Issaquah
they're
not
always
available
for
that
meeting,
and
we
did
have
some
issues
in
the
south
and
where
they
went
to
snow
routes.
AB
We
weren't
aware
of
those
snow
routes
and
they
ended
up
doing
some
temporary
stops
in
places
that
might
have
been
better
elsewhere.
So
we're
really
looking
forward
to
working
with
them.
This
year,
I
know
they're,
looking
forward
to
working
with
us,
so
I'm
very
much
looking
forward
to
the
meeting
on
November
15th
to
get
that
coordination
done,
and
so
that
look
forward
to
that
happening.
Great.
AB
A
AB
M
AB
AB
That's
what
I
remember
more
about
the
livable
city
project,
but
we
are
trying
to
move
towards
AVL
automatic
vehicle
location
and
it's
actually
in
our
smart
mobility
plan.
We've
talked
with
the
unions
about
it,
they're
in
agreement
now.
So
as
we
move
forward,
that's
something
that
we're
hoping
to
implement,
probably
won't
get
implemented
this
year.
But
it
is
something
in
the
laundry
term
that
we
want
to
do
so
that
we're
not
skipping
routes
so
that
we
can
report
out
on
what
routes
we
have
done
and
we
can
just
better
manage
our
resources.
Yeah.
M
And
then
also
better
communicate.
So
if
we
do
have
that
automated,
then
communities
can
actually
see
that
here's,
the
routes
that
are
being
plowed,
here's
where
our
trucks
are
and
so
I
think
that
would
be
really
powerful.
If
we
could
figure
out
a
way
to
move
that
one
up
a
little
bit
more
absolutely.
AB
M
Then
my
only
comment
is
I
did
get
the
winterized
in
the
mail,
so
thank
you
and
the
multiple
languages
I'm
well
I
think
we
need
to
really
accentuate,
though
the
preparing
for
storms,
even
if
it
doesn't
happen
so
that,
if
folks
are
hap,
do
happen
to
be
stuck
at
home,
that
they
have
provisions
to
be
able
to
maybe
housing
in
place
for
X
number
of
days,
because
these
things
are
pretty
unpredictable.
So
thank
you,
though
I'm.
M
AB
J
Want
to
voice
the
same
appreciation
for
you
guys
working.
You
know
during
this
special
situations.
I
mean
like
customer
Robinson
mentioned
so
thanks
and
I
also
support
the
councilmember
newer
houses,
emphasis
on
communication
to
utility.
You
know
waste
pickup
service
I
had
similar
experience
last
year.
You
know,
fortunately
I
think
the
contractors
you
know
was
pretty
helpful,
but
it's
good
that
you
know.
Since
you've
mentioned
you
haven't
really
talked
to
them.
I
think
it's
important
so
that
you
know
there
won't
be
any.
You
know,
miscommunication
or
not
lack
of
information.
J
But
finally,
I
appreciate
councilmember
Robinson's,
pointing
out
that
you
know
Chinese
language,
the
simplified
language.
You
know
for
mainland
Chinese
recent
immigrants
and
then
the
regular,
the
normal
traditional
Chinese.
For
you
know,
significant
number
of
Chinese
and
I
I
can
be
both
of
them.
So
any
problem,
but
but
the
point
also
is,
since
you
don't
really
have
an
answer
yet
I
can
see
I'd
be
very
happy
to
come
your
resource
for
you,
so
it
won't
cost
you
anything.
A
AB
A
Can
do
that
so
and,
as
I
recall,
some
of
the
outtake
from
last
year
was
we
do
have
real
actual
snow.
Plows
I
think
we
have
three
of
them
that
that
we
use,
but
those
are
most
effective
on
the
routes
that
are
not
as
steep.
So
in
other
words,
you
can't
really
run
them
to
the
top
of
Somerset
or
the
top
of
Lake
Mont
right.
AB
Right
so
we
we
repurpose
the
bigger
5
yard
trucks
that
we
have
they're,
not
necessarily
exclusively
snow
plows.
They
might
be.
You
know,
assets
for
utilities
or
for
transportation,
but
they're,
so
large,
they're
really
more
effective
on
the
148th.
So
in
the
belle
red
roads
that
are
flatter
wider,
we
use
the
1
tons
in
the
Hills
right,
yeah
and.
AB
Cool
down
right,
the
transmissions
would
overheat
in
and
one
of
the
things
that
we're
hoping
to
one
day
improve
upon
is
to
actually
get
more
material
storage
up
on
top
of
the
hill
to
prevent
that
running
back
down
the
hill
and
then
going
fully
loaded
up
the
hill,
which
gets
that
transmission
good
and
hot.
Before
we
put
down
the
blades
to
start
pushing
snow
around,
so
that
would
probably
be
more
effective
than
anything.
Okay.
A
That
was
actually
gonna
be
kind
of
a
second
was
we
had
talked
about
after
the
event.
Last
year,
we'd
talked
possibly
deploying
some
heavy
equipment
to
the
higher
hills,
because
I
mean
I
think
one
of
the
met
one
of
the
lessons
last
year
was
when
you
have
multiple
snowfall
you're,
not
going
to
be
able
to
move
it
with
a
one-ton
truck
on
a
steep
hill,
so
some
things
about
potentially
using
front
loaders
and
that
type
of
thing
yeah.
Yes,
any
any
ideas
of
possibly
doing
that.
We've.
AB
We
thought
of
ways
of
shuttling
material
up
the
hills
and
you
know
moving
it
from
our
locations
or
you
know
the
problem
with
getting
additional.
You
know
higher
horsepower
vehicles,
maybe
a
hybrid
between
a
5-yard
dump
truck.
You
know
one
ton
is
we
don't
really
have
a
niche
for
that
in
our
everyday
work
so
because
we
repurpose
those
vehicles
for
snow
response,
we'd
actually
have
to
buy
exclusive
snow
plows,
which
we
just
really
haven't,
been
ready
to
do
yet
or
recommend.
Yet
because.
G
A
We
definitely
are
hoping
not
and
and
I
understand
it,
because
that
is
really
kind
of
the
experience
that
those
of
us
who've
lived
here
for
a
long
time
have
had
that
that
you
know
you
get
a
really
bad
year,
and
maybe
it
was
eight
years.
Maybe
it
was
ten.
Maybe
it
was
12,
but
there's
generally
a
time
in
between
any
thought
given
to
I
mean
if
you
do
live
on
a
steep
hill.
A
AB
We
encourage
people
to
do
that.
We
also
encourage
people
to
help
each
other
out
when
we
plow
a
street
will
usually
leave
a
windrow,
for
instance,
that
can
cover
driveways
and
and
for
our
elderly
folks.
You
know
if,
if
you're
a
neighbor
to
an
elderly
folk,
if
you
could
help
them
out,
maybe
shovel
out
the
driveway.
Those
are
the
types
of
things
that,
even
though
the
city
doesn't
have
resource
to
do
we
try
to
message
that
and
then
we
try
to
encourage
people
to
follow
up
and
do
that
as
a
good
neighbor
policy
and.
A
Then
we
also
still
continue
to
use
the
bellevue
cares
program
to
reach
to
some
people
and
that's
really
successful
at
reaching
to
some
of
the
more
vulnerable,
absolutely
yeah.
I
think
that
that
is
a
very
important
program.
You're,
not
looking
for
any
action
tonight,
other
than
no
snow
will
be
there
if
it
does.
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
AB
B
Andrews
report,
which
is
an
overview
of
the
2019
Business
Survey
results.
This
is
gonna.
We're
gonna
just
provide
you
a
brief
summary
of
the
highlights.
Those
by
way
background,
this
Business
Survey
is
done
every
two
years
and
joining
us
this
evening
is
Jessica
noodle,
our
chief
economic
development
officer
and
feeling
more
attractive.
A
lot
of
managers,
that'll
turn
it
over
to
the
team.
AC
Thank
You
city
manager,
Thank,
You,
deputy
mayor
mayor,
deputy
mayor
and
members
of
council
for
making
time
on
tonight's
agenda.
For
us,
we
are
very
excited
to
bring
you
a
brief
report
on
the
results
of
the
2019
Business
Survey.
As
the
city
manager
mentioned
for
background.
This
is
a
survey
that
the
city
does
every
two
years
of
our
business
community.
We
have
been
doing
it
every
two
years
since
2015,
so
tonight's
report
represents
the
third
set
of
data
and
responses
from
our
business
community.
AC
In
terms
of
this
year's
responses,
we
are
happy
to
report
that
we
have
the
highest
response
rate
yet
with
over
1,000
businesses
providing
feedback
on
Bellevue's
business
ecosystem,
in
terms
of
who
those
were
responses
represent.
58
percent
of
the
business
responses
were
from
small
businesses
with
five
or
fewer
employees.
AC
AD
You
Jessi
the
survey
asked
about
broad
city
services
and
we
see
that
the
majority
of
the
results
remain
steady
appearance,
appearance
of
location
has
seen
a
statistically
significant
increase
over
the
2015
results
and
in
both
2017
and
2019,
businesses
feel
there
has
been
a
significant
improvement
in
the
ability
to
get
around
town
safely
by
biking
or
walking.
Traffic
and
affordable
housing
for
employees
continues
to
be
the
biggest
challenges
for
the
businesses.
AD
Looking
at
a
snapshot
of
business,
health
Bellevue
continues
to
have
a
supportive
business
climate
with
top
line
results.
Remaining
steady
and
positive
one
highlight
is
that
91%
of
businesses
reports
about
these
economy
is
better
than
other
Puget
Sound
cities
and
towns.
Additionally,
eighty
percent
of
businesses
continue
to
state
that
their
business
is
somewhat
or
very
strong.
AD
We
do
see
that
businesses
are
a
little
less
optimistic
on
the
anticipated
economic
growth
of
their
business,
but
the
majority
of
the
employee
talent
pool
is
in
Bellevue
or
elsewhere,
and
the
Puget
Sound
and
businesses
report
no
anticipated
changes
in
Bellevue
based
employees,
as
Jessie
mentioned.
The
survey
does
reflect
some
challenges
that
are
consistent
with
growing
economies
such
as
traffic
and
transportation,
affordable
housing
and
access
to
the
to
talent
and
employees.
AD
A
We
were
thinking
we
would
get
done
a
little
bit
earlier
tonight.
I
would
kind
of
like
to
keep
plowing
along
that's
kind
of
a
joke
off
for
the
last
one,
but
these
are
these
are
these
are
actually
very.
Very
good
numbers
show
quite
a
bit
of
satisfaction,
I'm
glad
that
we
do
the
Business
Survey
I
would
say
that
all
affordable,
housing
and
transportation
are
definitely
regional
issues.
I
think
Bellevue
in
both
of
those
two
areas
has
really
stepped
up,
not
only
with
our
participation
regionally,
but
with
money
placed
toward
that
we
have.
A
We
have
our
largest,
affordable
housing
fund
that
we
have
ever
had.
That's
something
that
council
has
prioritized.
You
know,
plus
a
hundred
million
dollar
loan
to
do
a
bunch
of
more
Street
work,
plus
the
regular
street
work
going
on
I
think
shows
Bellevue's
commitment
on
those
two.
We
also
understand
that
business
and
others
see
those
as
probably
the
two
critical,
crucial
and
critical
issues.
So
if
you
don't
mind,
if
less
there's
some
absolute
brilliance
that
has
not
been
that
was
my
challenge.
I
really
would
like
to
move
this
along.
You
sure
can.
L
Two
quick
suggestions
for
you:
Jesse
one
I'd
like
to
see
this
survey
done
every
year,
I
think
the
pace
of
business
increases
consistently
and
constantly
and
I
think
it
would
give
us
a
better
understanding
if
we
do
come
across
any
issues
of
companies,
especially
large
employers,
if
they're
looking
to
leave
and
then
we
can
hopefully
nip
that
in
the
bud.
Second
of
all,
I'd
love
to
see
in
the
next
report,
this
broken
down
by
sector,
because
there's
nuance
to
each
one
right,
so
retail,
restaurant
tech,
etc.
L
M
There
so
in
the
in
the
comments
where
it
says
why
the
wrong
direction
it
says
unfriendly
to
small
and
local
businesses.
I
would
like
to
understand
a
bit
more
about
that
I
mean
if
it's,
because
the
cost
of
of
retail
the
space
is
very
expensive,
but
if
there's
more
than
that,
I'd
really
like
to
drill
down
into
that
a
bit
more
yeah.
AD
So
we
did
look
at
that,
and
that
is
a
subjective
answer.
So
it's
people
commented
it
and
we
saw
that
as
well
and
look
through
all
of
those
comments
and
the
majority
of
those
comments
are
based
on
rents
and
the
increase
in
rents
that
are
going
on.
So
we
see
that
and
that's
something
that
we're
continuing
to
look
at
through
the
economic
development
plan,
update
how
we
can
continue
to
support
our
small
businesses.
A
G
H
Try
to
be
brief,
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
and
know
two
special
events
going
on
this
week.
We're
looking
forward
to
welcoming
our
yo
Japan
delegation
to
the
City
of
Bellevue.
Yao
was
Bellevue's
first
sister
city
and
2019
marks
the
fiftieth
anniversary
of
that
relationship
for
this
celebration.
We
are
pleased
to
welcome
twelve
members
of
the
yao
delegation.
City
officials
include
mayor
kay
suki
de
Matsu
and
councilmember
shinji
tanaka
and
Bellevue
bubbly
hosting
two
events
on
Wednesday
November
6
from
1:30
to
2:30
p.m.
H
we'll
have
the
50th
anniversary
tree
dedication
at
the
Dudley
Botanical
Garden,
and
then
on
Thursday
November,
7th
from
5:00
to
6:30
p.m.
there
will
be
an
anniversary
reception
here
at
City,
Hall
Yao
has
been
a
wonderful
partner
over
the
years.
I
led
the
most
recent
official
city
delegation
to
visit
them,
and
that
was
in
2017,
and
we
invited
them
here
for
the
50th
anniversary
of
our
sisters
to
do
relationship
and
I'm
thrilled
that
they
have
accepted
and
will
be
coming.
We
had
a
really
wonderful
time.
H
We
had
a
large
delegation
go
to
Yau
two
and
a
half
years
ago,
and
they
really
treated
us
very
well
showed
us
the
best
of
their
city
and
their
nation.
I
would
note
that
when
we
think
our
City
Council
meetings
are
getting
long
and
there
might
be
a
few
too
many
of
us-
they
have
something
like
40
council
members,
I
didn't
count
the
chairs,
but
it
looks
like
a
legislative
chamber.
So
it's
a
little
bit
different.

AE
The
property
owner
is
developing
a
tool
or
plat,
and
the
water
main
and
water
meter
were
abandoned
with
the
development
of
the
property.
The
water
easement
shown
in
green
is
no
longer
needed
as
the
new
water,
the
new
water
meters
were
connected
to
the
existing
water
main
and
in
an
existing
utility
easement
located
within
northeast
2nd
place.
AE
A
Questions
for
staff
I
have
a
very
quick
one.
Do
we
need
to
if
we
make
the
motion
to
adopt?
Do
we
need
to
add
that
the
effective
date
is
November
4th
2019,
that
this
is
odd?
The
way
it
reads
here
to
me,
I,
don't
know
if
we
need
to
actually
add
that
or
or
not,
if
not
we'll,
just
make
sure
that
that
is
the
effective
date.
