A
Thank
you.
Welcome
to
the
bellevue
regular
city
council
meeting
for
april
5th
2021
this
week
is
public
health
week
and
I'd
like
to
thank
all
the
public
health
professionals
who
dedicate
themselves
to
making
bellevue
a
safe
and
healthy
community
and
this
month.
Well,
actually,
let's
start
with
the
roll
call.
C
D
E
A
C
Now,
therefore,
I,
on
behalf
of
lynn,
robinson
mayor
of
the
city
of
bellevue
washington
and
on
behalf
of
its
city
council,
join
advocates
and
communities
throughout
king
county
in
taking
action
to
prevent
sexual
violence
by
standing
with
survivors
and
proclaiming
april
2021
as
sexual
assault
awareness
month
together,
we
can
commit
to
a
safer
future
for
all
children,
young
people
and
adults
and
families
in
our
community.
Sign
lynn,
robinson,
mayor
city
of
bellevue,.
D
A
Could
you
please
start
us
off
with
oral
communications.
B
Thank
you
mayor
this
evening.
There
are
a
number
of
speakers
signed
up.
There
are
12
in
total,
which
is
beyond
if
we
allow
three
minutes
per
person,
that's
beyond
our
allocated
30
minutes,
so
we
I
will
monitor
the
time
and
call
as
many
as
we
can
get
to
with
that.
The
first
speaker
this
evening
is
sean
thorson.
F
Okay
good
evening,
my
name
is
sean
thorson
with
american
capital
group.
Here
in
bellevue,
I
asked
to
speak
in
support
of
our
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
application
that
we
submitted
last
year.
Our
cpa
request
will
allow
us
to
further
explore
developing
approximately
250
apartments,
including
at
least
50,
affordable
homes,
directly
adjacent
to
the
wilberton
light
rail
station.
F
In
my
letter
sent
last
week,
I
have
outlined
some
of
the
details
and
incentives.
Our
proposal
will
add
to
the
city
and
to
the
environment.
We
enjoy
working
with
the
with
bellevue
city
staff
and,
in
this
rare
occasion,
must
respectfully
disagree
with
the
items
outlined
in
their
decision
to
not
support
moving
our
proposal
forward.
F
In
our
opinion,
all
of
the
objections
to
approving
our
cpa
were
overcome.
The
presentation
we
gave
last
month.
We
have
dedicated
resources
through
third
party
consultants
to
be
sure
that
what
we
are
proposing
will
benefit
the
environment
and
the
storm
water
system.
We
already
know
that
taking
our
own
utilized
parking
lot
and
replacing
it
with
a
non-pollution
generating
building
with
secured
parking,
commercial
space
and
a
pedestrian-oriented
street
level
and
a
public
park
will
be
significantly
better
than
what
is
currently
there.
F
We
have
already
proven
the
environmental,
social
and
transportation
benefits
our
development
offers,
the
city
of
bellevue
lake
bellevue
and
servant
creek
the
risk
of
not
allowing
us
to
simply
explore
the
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
further
with
the
city
could
eliminate
any
chance
of
this
development
ever
come
to
fruition.
F
B
H
H
H
We
have
a
lot
of
things
that
washdot
can
help
us
with
in
that
regard.
Right
now,
washdot
is
working
on
an
expansion
of
I-90
and
eastgate.
H
It's
curious
that
it
appears
to
be
right
at
a
blocked
fish
passage,
but
we
are
not
repairing
that
fish
passage
under
I-90
at
upstream
from
it
is
beautiful,
vassa
creek,
where
there
would
be
salmon
habitat.
H
We
can
also
do
better
working
with
washdot
on
improving
light
rail
access
and
bus
lanes
and
bike
and
pedestrian
access
to
downtown,
but
adding
another
car-centered
interchange
just
doesn't
make
sense
for
us
at
this
time,
and
you
know
I
look
forward
to
following
this
issue
with
the
city
council.
Thank
you.
I
I
would
also
like
to
speak
about
the
405
access
ram
for
over
50
years.
Bellevue
has
prioritized
easy
access
between
downtown
and
405..
We've
built
highway
access
ramps
on
most
of
our
east-west
streets,
and
yet
cars
still
choke
downtown,
build
it
and
they
will
come
well.
We
built
wide
roads
to
encourage
drivers
and
the
drivers
came
now.
We
want
to
build
another
highway
access
ramp,
one
that
will
save
drivers
20
seconds
of
time
for
150
million
dollars.
I
It
sounds
ridiculous,
but
it
sends
a
clear
message:
bellevue
was
built
for
cars
and
bellevue
is
still
building
for
cars.
As
someone
who
lives
downtown
I'd
like
bellevue
to
start
prioritizing
my
neighborhood
as
a
neighborhood
I'd
like
downtown
to
be
the
kind
of
place
where
people
walk
around
and
browse
storefronts
after
dinner.
I
That's
not
the
kind
of
downtown
we're
building
our
you
get
to
gets
you
out
of
downtown
and
onto
the
highway
as
quickly
as
possible.
When
your
work
day
ends
in
2007,
wsdot
said:
southbound
405
from
bellevue
was
one
of
the
state's
most
congested
sections
of
highway
back
then
I
drove
home
from
microsoft.
Every
night
I
usually
took
the
highways
because
405
it
wasn't
all
that
bad
today
the
highway
is
gridlocked
every
night.
I
I
checked
a
couple
hours
ago,
even
with
the
pandemic
traffic
southbound
was
moving
slowly
now
there
is
a
widening
and
express
toll
lane
project
in
the
works,
but
we
all
know
from
the
similar
project
on
405
north.
We
didn't
build
our
way
out
of
traffic,
we're
spending
150
million
dollars
to
get
people
into
a
traffic
jam
on
the
highway.
I
Just
a
little
bit
faster
amazon
said
in
their
blog
post
on
april,
2nd
that
they
want
to
contribute
to
the
creation
of
a
thriving
downtown
where
people
live,
work
and
visit,
not
just
drive
through
my
question
for
the
members
of
council.
Is
this:
what
kind
of
downtown
do
we
want
to
build
for
our
next
hundred
years?
Do
we
want
to
keep
making
bellevue
a
city
of
big
wide
roads,
or
do
we
want
bellevue
to
be
a
thriving
place
for
people?
I
B
Miss
neither
let's,
let's
come
back
to
her
there,
you,
okay,
the
next
speaker
is
michelle.
Wanamaker.
J
Begins
now,
mayor,
robinson
and
council
members,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
you.
My
name
is
michelle
wanamaker
and
I
live
in
eastgate
and
my
address
is
on
file.
Some
senior
citizens
and
disabled
are
fortunate.
They
can
easily
walk
the
half
mile
to
frequent
transit
service
being
proposed.
Others
are
not
for
them
walking.
Even
a
quarter
mile
is
impossible
or
very
difficult,
but
whether
they
can
or
can't
walk
that
distance
isn't
the
biggest
issue.
J
Otherwise,
the
availability
of
frequent
transit
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
parking
spaces
at
a
facility
for
senior
citizens
and
the
disabled,
and
please
remember
that
not
everyone
is
as
able-bodied
as
you
are,
even
though
they
can't
walk
a
quarter
mile,
they
can
drive
to
stores
and
wait
in
their
car
to
pick
up.
Orders
they've
placed
online.
J
J
Yes,
I
am
aware
that
the
state
has
already
passed
rcw,
36.70
age,
620
and
dot
698,
but
in
addition
to
increasing
the
minimum
distance
to
frequent
transit
from
a
quarter
mile
to
a
half
mile
bellevue's
little
bit
as
proposed
by
the
planning
commission,
leaves
out
important
pauses
that
are
in
rcws.c
and
dot.
698.
B
K
Thank
you
so
much
on
behalf,
I'm
here
tonight
on
behalf
of
downtown
action
to
save
housing.
My
name
is
kim
lovell
price
and
I'm
the
executive
director,
I'm
here
to
speak
to
you
tonight
about
a
comp
plan
amendment
that
was
submitted
in
partnership
to
the
city
of
bellevue
to
preserve
and
increase
the
amount
of
affordable
housing
in
bellevue.
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
the
planning
staff
for
its
thorough
analysis
of
the
threshold
issues
proposed
in
our
count
plan
amendment
and
for
their
recommendation
of
the
application
to
move
past
the
threshold
review.
K
I
do,
however,
appreciate
their
concern
about
having
enough
time
to
thoroughly
review
and
discuss
the
issues
and
to
be
informed
enough
to
make
a
consider
and
consider
our
decision
to
move
forward
in
the
case
of
dash.
However,
it
was
unfortunate
that
the
discussion
on
the
threshold
review
was
not
based
on
the
merits
of
our
property
or
the
significant
community
benefit
that
the
rezone
would
provide
nor
the
planning
staff's
recommendation,
but
on
the
parity
of
another
comp
plan,
amendment
request
that
was
put
forward.
We
do
hope
that
they
consider
the
merits
of
the
analysis.
K
I'd
like
to
ask
the
city
council
to
consider
the
merits
of
our
comp
plan.
Amendment
request,
considering
its
commitment
to
increasing
affordable
housing,
preserving
affordable
housing
and
work
through
the
planning
staff's
analysis
to
move
us
forward
through
the
study
to
a
work
plan
this
year
and,
as
always
just
do
want
to
thank
you
for
your
commitment
to
affordable
housing,
and
we
look
forward
to
partnering
with
you
on
this
very
important
project
of
preservation
and
expansion
of
housing.
Thank
you.
L
L
My
name
is
vic
bishop
representing
the
east
side,
transportation
association,
the
eta
was
involved
in
the
development
of
and
has
supported
the
405
master
plan,
since
it
was
approved
in
2002
after
a
three-year
7
million
analysis
by
21
agencies,
including
the
city
and
the
fhwa.
With
a
record
of
decision.
L
Your
agenda
item
10a
is
an
important
small
bite
in
the
elephant.
Called
the
I-405
master
plan.
Eta
sent
a
letter
dated
march
31
supporting
the
lake
hills,
connector
alternative,
I'm
here
to
support
that
recommendation
and
point
out
the
other
critical
thoughts
included
in
our
letter.
The
on-ramp
is
the
middle
of
a
three-phase
project,
each
with
a
separate
schedule.
The
first
is
an
auxiliary
lane
on
405
from
the
south
end
of
the
new
ramp
to
I-90.
The
second
is
the
ramp
itself
and
the
third
is
the
northeast
second
crossing
from
112th
116th.
M
L
Simple
low-cost,
it
is
included
in
the
staff
recommendation.
It
fits
the
in
the
existing
right-of-way
and
washdot
supports
it.
It
needs
the
30
to
40
million
dollars
funding
in
the
current
legislative
session
transportation
package
so
that
it
could
be
constructed
in
the
next
few
years.
It
is
conceivable
that
it
could
be
added
to
the
current
washdot
contract
that
runs
through
2023..
L
It
works
with
all
alternatives
and
as
a
it
is
a
part
of
the
master
plan.
The
northeast
2nd
street
extension
is
an
integral
part
of
the
downtown
wilberton
grid
system.
It
is
assumed
in
the
wilberton
area
plan
and
it
is
included
in
the
405
master
plan,
with
a
half
diamond
interchange
to
and
from
the
south.
L
L
13
million
in
and
around
downtown
none
of
that
additional
development
was
included
in
the
master
plan,
thinking
it
had
a
horizon
year
2020
last
year
the
bellevue
needs
to
be
prepared,
cars
will
dominate
access
to
bellevue
and
the
lake
house.
Connector
alternative
is
a
is
good
for
now,
but
it
will
not
replace
a
full
half
diamond
interchange.
L
L
O
O
It's
not
easy
to
build,
affordable
housing,
it's
always
a
community
effort,
and
this
evening
I
just
want
to
thank
our
partners
and
members
of
the
community.
Who've
stood
up
in
support
of
our
comprehensive
plan
amendment,
which
seeks
to
add
more
density
to
our
property,
so
we
can
create
more
affordable
housing
for
the
city
of
bellevue,
first
of
all,
staff.
O
Thank
you
for
a
thorough
analysis
showing
that
this
comprehensive
plan
amendment
meets
all
the
criteria
of
threshold
review
and
thank
you
for
your
continuing
support
of
dash
and
the
work
that
we
do:
the
housing
development
consortium,
our
region's
coalition
for
affordable
housing
providers,
developers
and
government
agencies,
and
also
the
bellevue
chamber
of
commerce
and
plush
committee.
Thank
you
for
your
support,
kevin
joe
marty
and
patience.
I
know
it's
not
often
that
the
chamber
and
the
hdc
agree.
O
So
it's
a
privilege
to
have
your
joint
support
for
this
comp
plan
amendment
and
to
the
east
side
housing
round
table.
Thank
you
for
your
active
engagement
to
create
more
housing
choices
of
all
kinds
for
all
workers
in
bellevue,
brady
and
pearl.
Thank
you
for
supporting
our
efforts
to
create
more
housing
here
and
to
our
long
and
steadfast
partners.

O
Thank
you
for
your
steadfast
support
and,
finally
to
members
of
council
who
reached
out
to
me
personally
since
the
commission
meeting
on
march
10th.
I
truly
appreciate
your
words
and
your
support.
Thanks
for
reaching
out,
it
seems
like
this
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
has
been
bouncing
around
for
years
and
I'm
hoping
that
tonight,
council
will
take
action
to
move
it
through
threshold
review
again
and
put
us
on
a
path
to
certainty,
so
we
can
plan
for
the
future
at
these
two
properties.
O
B
P
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
council
members.
This
is
magic
with
the
bellevue
downtown
association
located
at
400
108th
avenue
northeast
here,
to
reinforce
a
letter
sent
last
week
regarding
a
council
item
for
this
evening,
for
you
folks
to
select
a
preferred
alternative
proposed
in
the
I-405
south
downtown
access
study.
First
of
all,
we'd
like
to
applaud
council
and
the
city
for
initiating
this
study
to
evaluate
the
new
realities
associated
with
bellevue's
urban
growth
around
the
future
east
main
light
rail
station.
We
also
commend
council
and
the
staff
for
pacing
this
work
toward
tonight's
conclusion.
P
With
that
said,
the
bda
supports
two
alternatives:
the
lake
hills
connector
with
the
southbound
on-ramp
and
the
southeast
6th
street
extension
with
southbound
on-ramp
bda
members
concluded
that
these
two
alternatives
improve
mobility,
with
the
best
cost
to
benefit
ratio.
Typically,
we
would
advocate
for
one
preference,
but
in
this
case
both
are
very
different,
nor
perfect
solutions.
P
Now
our
position
does
include
a
condition
for
the
southeast
6th
street
extension,
while
this
alternative
yields
better
numbers
and
adds
an
additional
east-west
connection,
it
comes
with
more
negative
property,
environmental
and
access
impacts
at
a
higher
overall
cost.
Specifically,
it
has
the
potential
to
delay
the
east
main
rezone
and
other
vital
land
use
planning
efforts
that
are
essential
to
supporting
growth.
That's
why
our
endorsement
of
the
southeast
6th
street
extension
with
the
southbound
on-ramp
is
contingent
on
east
maine
land
use
code.
Adoption
by
this
fall.
P
Our
input
this
evening
is
supported
by
almost
six
months
worth
of
work.
Numerous
committee
meetings,
staff
city
staff
updates,
property
owner
check-ins
and
board
review
and
approval.
This
is
exciting
work
for
us
and
it
was
well
worth
the
time
we're
eager
to
complete
this
chapter
and
continue
our
engagement
with
the
city
on
key
issues
that
will
support
bellevue's
urban
growth
and
and
the
big
vision
for
that
we're
all
aware
of
so.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Your
leadership
and
certainly
thank
you
for
your
attention.

the
land
use
code
amendment
to
establish
lower
minimum
parking
requirements
for
areas
within
frequent
transit
service,
as
you
may
have
heard
from
me
from
before,
and
as
I've
testified
at
the
belgian
planning
commission,
we
very
much
support
this
initiative.
Q
Amazon
believes
that
all
people
should
have
access
to
housing
they
can
afford,
and
so,
while
governments
like
bellevue,
have
the
capacity
to
do
this,
we
pledge
to
work
hand
in
hand
with
you
as
these
policies
come
forward
and
we'll
continue
to
use
our
position
as
a
large
employer
that
is
growing
here
in
bellevue
to
support
innovative
housing.
Affordability.
Initiatives
like
this
frankly
put
the
cost
to
build
parking,
is
a
significant
cost
burden
in
residential
development
and
ultimately
results
in
less
affordable
housing
options.
Q
Right-Sizing
these
parking
requirements
for
residential
developments
with
proximity
to
transit
not
only
brings
the
city
in
line
with
state
law
which,
as
you
all
know,
is,
was
passed
several
years
back
and
is
required
now
the
city
to
to
get
up
to
code
in
that,
but
also
reduces
carbon
emissions
and
traffic
congestion
by
promoting
the
use
of
high-speed
transit
and
spurs
more
affordable
housing
options
consistent
with
the
city's
affordable
housing
strategy.
Q
Now,
development
that
is
close
to
transit,
whether
it's
commercial
or
residential,
is
something
that's
really
important
to
amazon.
We
purposely
are
developing
our
office
space
in
downtown
bellevue
in
part
due
to
its
proximity
to
transit,
including
the
bellevue
transit
center
and
the
soon
to
open,
sound
transit,
downtown
bellevue
station,
and
we
know
from
our
employees
that
that
our
employees
are
frequent
users
of
transit.
We
provide
free
orchid
passes
for
all
of
our
employees
and
also
offer
our
own
shuttle
service
to
other
areas
around
the
region.
Q
Over
50
percent
of
our
seattle-based
employees,
either
walk
bike
or
take
transit
to
work
and
over
70
percent
of
them
commute
using
a
method
other
than
a
single
occupant
vehicle,
so
transit
and
proximity
to
transit
are
something
we
care
a
lot
about.
Policy.
Adjustments
like
this
luca
reflects
small
but
important
progress
in
helping
spur
more
affordable
housing
development
and
make
bellevue
an
even
better
place
to
work,
live
and
play.
Q
B
R
Hi
everybody
I'm
jesse
clawson
from
mccullough
hill
larry,
I'm
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
dash
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
item
10c,
we
represent
daesh,
and
we
know
that
the
city
council
is
very
focused
on
encouraging
places
for
people
of
all
incomes
to
live
in
bellevue
dash's
proposal
will
result
in
hundreds
of
affordable
units
just
over
the
hill
from
downtown
bellevue,
and
there
is
no
other
project
out
there
asking
to
do
exactly
what
the
city
council
has
been
asking
for,
which
is
more
affordable.
Housing
for
all.
Now
is
the
time
for
this
comprehensive
plan.
R
R
I
also
wanted
to
just
put
a
little
plug
in
for
item
10b,
the
reduced
minimum
parking
requirements,
ditto
everything
that
jared
just
said
about
the
connection
between
reduced
minimum
parking
requirements
and
affordability
for
housing.
There
is
an
absolute
connection
here,
so,
as
the
city
council
is
focused
on
affordable
housing,
this
is
a
very
important
seems
small,
but
makes
a
big
difference.
R
Change
that
can
be
made
to
the
land
use
code,
to
support
housing
and
more
affordable
housing,
and
your
actions
related
to
the
parking
code
will
shape
future
behaviors,
as
there
is
fewer
parking
of
parking
available.
People
will
make
different
choices,
especially
when
employers
like
amazon,
give
free
orca
cards
and
it
just
becomes
easier
to
use
transit.
So
thanks
for
your
consideration,.
B
S
B
S
All
right
good
evening,
I'm
speaking
to
you
on
behalf
of
a
group
of
northeast
bellevue
residents,
who
are
opposed
to
the
luca
as
written,
to
establish
lower
minimum
parking
residential
requirements
for
certain
developments
in
areas
with
frequent
transit.
This
look
addresses
the
state
mandate.
However,
the
city's
going
beyond
the
state
mandate
requirements
and
lowering
minimums
to
levels
that
may
not
be
in
the
best
interest
of
our
residents
than
the
city
as
the
whole.
S
While
we
support
the
spirit
of
the
amendment
to
create
greater
affordability
in
bellevue,
there
are
two
components
of
this
amendment
that
need
to
be
considered
before
adoption.
First,
the
data
does
not
support
the
current
proposal,
which
is
anchored
in
two
studies:
a
2015
king
county
study
based
on
data
collected
in
2012.
S
This
means
we're
making
key
decisions
on
data.
That's
nine
years
old.
The
second
study
is
more
recent,
but
based
on
metro
denver,
whose
population
and
land
area
are
almost
five
times
that
of
bellevue
staff
has
not
provided
any
evidence.
These
two
cities
are
comparable.
We
don't
have
relevant
data
to
extend
lowering
the
parking
requirements
outside
of
purely
tod
zones.
S
Second,
the
staff
magmo
recommends
recommendations
fail
to
highlight
the
city
has
flexibility
in
how
they
implement
the
state
mandate.
The
state
recognizes
one
size
does
not
fit
all
the
rcw
says
in
an
area
with
lack
of
access
to
street
parking
capacity,
physical
space
impediments
and
other
reasons
supported
by
evidence
that
would
make
on-street
parking
and
feasible
these
requirements
do
not
apply.
S
Many
of
the
areas
included
in
this
luca
do
not
have
the
appropriate
infrastructure
to
support
walkability.
About
a
month
ago,
I
was
in
my
neighborhood
less
than
a
quarter
mile
off
northup
way.
As
I
rounded
a
curve,
I
saw
a
man
in
electric
wheelchair
driving
up
the
street,
because
there
are
no
sidewalks.
S
S
S
It
goes
beyond
the
state
mandate
negatively
impacting
people
making
less
than
80
percent
ami
based
on
the
city
of
bellevue's
own
data
and
puts
lives
in
jeopardy
by
extending
the
minimum
parking
requirements
into
parts
of
the
city
without
adequate
infrastructure
to
support
walkability.
We
urge
you
to
direct
staff
to
address
these
issues
prior
to
proving
the
aluca.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
circling
back
to
me.
So
I
could
get
my
microphones
working
appreciate.
It.
A
Okay,
great,
thank
you.
So
next
up
we
have
council
liaison
recommendations
for
2021
reappointment
to
bellevue's
boards
and
commissions,
and
I
believe
we
have
five
council
members,
one
two,
three
four:
five
making
recommendations.
I'd
like
to
give
each
council
member
a
chance
to
introduce
the
recommendation
and
then
we'll
make
a
motion.
We
can
have
comments
or
whatever
questions
and
then
I'd
like
to
vote
if
we
can
on
a
whole
on
all
of
them.
Unless
there's
any
change
in
that,
so
I
will
start.
I
will
go
in
this
order.
A
D
D
Commissioner,
juan
and
also
commissioner
vana-
and
they
have
been
great
great
commissioners
and
they've
done
a
great
job,
so
I
yeah
and
with
their
consent.
It's
my
pleasure
to
nominate
for
another
for
four
years.
Thank.
C
Thank
you
mayor
I'd
like
to
recommend
that
we
reappoint
two
members
of
the
human
services
commission.
One
is
sherry
mcclure
who
actually
was
just
appointed
but
was
serving
a
partial
term,
so
she's
actually
being
reappointed,
hopefully
this
evening,
and
then
also
timothy
ma,
I'd
like
to
reappoint
him
as
well
and
appreciate
my
colleagues
support.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you
mayor.
I
am
putting
for
nomination
reappointments
of
kimberly
anderson,
ankut,
siroff
and
gunjan
murarka
for
the
library
board.
All
three
are
wonderful
library
board,
commissioners
who
I
appointed
them
for
the
first
time
several
years
ago,
and
they
are
still
willing
to
serve
the
people.
So
I'm
very
grateful
of
that.
The
for
the
transportation
commission.
I
am
reappointing
lorianna
marciante,
who
is
the
current
transportation
commission,
chair
and
she's
doing
a
great
job
great.
T
Yes,
I'm
recommending
reappointment
of
other
trust
cases
to
the
parks
board.
She
brings
a
wealth
of
knowledge
from
having
served
as
executive
director
of
the
east
side
heritage
center
and
has
been
very
active
on
the
parks
board
served
on
both
vice
chair
and
chair
positions,
and
I'm
excited
to
propose
for
reappointment.
U
Thank
you
mayor.
I'm
recommending
mohammad
malakuchin
for
reappointment
to
the
planning
commission.
His
critical
thinking,
skills
and
focus
on
community
has
been
an
asset
to
make
your
mission
support,
with
support
from
councilman.
A
Thank
you
great
he's
a
good
tennis
player
too.
Okay.
Can
I
get
a
motion
to
make
a
comprehensive
motion
to
approve
these
reappointment
recommendations?
Please
sorry,
deputy
mayor
go
ahead.
Thank.
A
Okay,
any
all
those
in
favor
say
aye.
A
Good
all
right
do
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
calendar.
I.
V
V
This
is
part
of
releasing.
This
easement
is
actually
part
of
the
bellevue
school
district's
redevelopment
of
that
particular
particular
site
and
just
by
the
way
background.
This
was
on
the
consent
calendar
back
in
the
beginning
of
the
year
and
was
declared
surplus
at
that
time,
and
then
we
also
set
the
public
hearing
back
on
march
1st
in
the
public
hearing
it
was
rescheduled
well.
Actually,
the
public
hearing
was
set
for
march
1st
and
we
rescheduled
it
until
april
5th.
V
N
N
The
bellevue
school
district
is
redeveloping
highland
middle
school
and,
as
part
of
that
process,
they
have
rebuilt
the
water
lines
within
their
property.
The
new
system
was
built
inside
the
city's
existing
easement,
but
there
was
a
fire
hydrant
and
a
segment
of
pipe
that
were
not
needed
for
the
new
water
system.
This
hydrant
and
pipe
were
in
the
area.
That's
shown
here
on
the
map
in
yellow
the
school
district
has
requested
that
we
release
this
portion
of
the
easement
and
utilities
department.
N
Staff
have
confirmed
that
the
city-owned
facilities
have
been
removed
from
this
portion
of
the
easement
and
it
is
no
longer
needed
following
the
public
hearing
staff
requests.
Council
action
on
this
proposed
resolution
authorizing
the
partial
release
of
the
easement
and
this
ends.
Our
staff
report
will
be
available
following
the
public
hearing
for
any
questions
you
may
have.
L
A
L
B
There
are
no
speakers
signed
up
to
make
comment
this
evening
and
we
have
not
received
any
written
comments
on
this
particular
item.
At
this
point,
I
would
ask
if
there
was
anyone
connected
to
this
call,
who
would
like
to
make
a
comment
during
this
public
hearing?
Please
use
the
raised
hand,
function
or
star
9
if
you're
connected
with
a
phone.
A
A
In
favor,
say,
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Thank
you
so
counsel
any
questions
or
comments.
I
can
see
you
so
if
you
raise
your
hand
I'll
call
on
you,
I'm
not
seeing
anything.
So
we
have
before
us
a
motion
to
adopt
this
resolution.
So
do
I
have
a
motion
for
that
deputy
mayor?
I.
C
Moved
to
adopt
resolution
9919
authorizing
the
execution
of
documents
necessary
to
release
a
portion
of
an
existing
water
easement
located
at
15027
northeast
belt,
red
road,
which
has
been
declared
surplus
to
the
city's
needs
and
is
no
longer
required
for
providing
continued
public
utility
service.
Second,.
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
great
that's
been
released,
so
we
have
three
study
session
items
tonight
and
mr
miyake,
would
you
like
to
introduce
the
first
one.
V
Thank
you,
mayor,
robinson,
council,
member.
The
first
item
is
the
south
downtown
I-405
access
study.
This
evening,
staff
are
seeking
council
direction
to
identify
a
preferred
south
downtown
if
405
access
alternative,
so
the
city.
This
will
help
us.
The
city
then,
will
help
informed
watchdog's
overall
I-405.
V
So,
just
by
way
of
background,
the
city
undertook
a
study
in
2020
to
identify
a
number
of
access
alternatives
which
subsequently
were
narrowed
down
to
five
at
the
direction
of
the
council.
At
the
september
28th
meeting
on
this
evening,
staff
will
brief
council
members
on
the
pros
and
cons
of
the
five
alternatives,
provide
a
staff
recommendation
and
seek
council
direction
on
a
preferred
alternative
to
be
communicated
to
washington
so
joining
us
this
evening.
V
Are
our
members
of
our
transportation
department,
andrew
singalonquez,
our
director,
paul
stevens
assistant,
director
and
xiumin
yang,
our
engineering
manager
also
joining
us
for
the
presentation
this
evening,
our
representative
from
the
washington
department
of
transportation,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
andrew
and
paul
and
shuming
to
introduce
our
guests
as
well
as
to
kick
off
the
presentation.
W
Andrew,
yes,
thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki,
mayor,
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newton,
houston,
city,
council
sheming.
Do
you
have
the
powerpoint.
V
X
W
Okay,
so
you
can
skip
to
the
next
slide.
Okay,
so
and
tonight
the
council
will
be
asked
to
make
a
recommendation
to
the
washington
state
department
of
transportation
regarding
the
I-405
access
to
south
downtown,
and
it's
really
important
to
note
that
what's
happening
here
is
it's
a
recommendation
that
goes
to
washdot,
who
will
bring
the
project
into
development
and
environmental
review
after
funding
has
been
secured,
and
funding
for
this
is
part
of
the
council's
legislative
agenda
next
slide.
Please.
W
It's
also
important
to
note
that
this
project-
it's
really
necessary
not
just
from
a
transportation
standpoint,
but
to
provide
the
developing
community
a
degree
of
certainty
about
where
the
project
is
actually
going
to
be,
and
the
development
community
needs
to
know
where
the
project
will
be
located,
and
this
will
settle
that
issue
next
side.
B
W
You
know
we've
been
working
closely
with
washdot
over
the
past
couple
of
decades
in
the
implementation
of
the
405
master
plan,
the
4-5
master
plan
identified
the
need
for
access
to
the
freeway
from
south
downtown
washdot
did
provide
the
city
the
opportunity
to
identify
that
project
they've
been
a
great
partner
and
actually
acted
as
our
consultant,
which
resulted
in
exceptional
coordination,
and
we
are
here
before
the
council.
W
We
were
here
last
in
september
when
we
presented
alternatives
to
further
analysis
and
we've
been
through
an
extensive
stakeholder
and
public
outreach
process
and
we're
ready
to
make
a
recommendation
next
slide.
Please.
W
And
the
staff
recommendation,
which
is
the
point
recommendation
from
transportation
community
development
development
services
in
the
city
manager's
office,
is
the
lake
hills,
connector
cell
phone
on-ramp,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
ximing
who'll.
Let
you
know
how
we
got
here.
X
Oh
yeah,
so
before
I
get
into
details
of
the
analysis,
findings
and
I'd
like
to
just
highlight
the
staff
recommendation
and
it's
called
the
nikkeils
connector
software
on-ramp
and
that's
shown
on
the
graphics
to
the
right.
X
X
So
I
don't,
maybe
I
don't
have
the
right
display
of
what
you.
X
X
On
ramp
yeah,
please
advance
to
the
next.
X
Okay,
wow,
okay,
so
that
what
we
used,
the
five
main
criteria
to
evaluate
in
the
tier
2
are
how
these
alternatives
align
with
the
city
plans
and
policies,
and
then
we
look
at
the
travel
time,
how
they
improve
access
and
potentially
safety
and
how
they
impact
on
property
and
how
they
might
support
economic
development
and
how
each
alternative
may
cost.
X
So
these
are
the
quantitative
and
quantitative
criteria
that
were
used
in
tier
2
evaluation,
and
then
we
brought
these
results
to
stakeholders
and
the
community
for
their
input
next
slides,
please!
So
I'm
going
to
go
through
each
of
these
area
briefly
and
highlight
what
have
we
have
found
in
a
analysis.
X
So
after
city
policies
and
comprehensive
policies,
we
look
at
the
seven
or
so
policies,
and
one
of
the
significant
policy
that
has
implication
to
the
alternative
analyzed
is
the
the
east
main
tod
and,
in
particular
the
soviet
e6
straight
extension.
The
two
alternatives
would
require
upgrade
of
the
streets
from
a
minor
material
from
connected
to
an
arterial
grade
road
and
the
eastman
trd
did
not
anticipate
ramps
at
the
come
on
and
off
from
the
street.
X
So
if
this
option
is
selected,
it
will
require
and
change
to
the
existing
policy
and
that
may
cause
cause
potential
delay
to
the
east
main
trd.
Work
next
slide,
please
so
look
at
the
travel
time
and
before
we
get
to
time.
Let's
look
at
the
how
each
of
these
alternatives
adds
capacity
or
access
to
four
or
five
so
starting
from
top
to
bottom,
and
the
naked
connector
adds
about
1400
percent
capacity
per
hour
and
the
savvy
second
straight
ex
sorry,
southeast
sixth
straight
extensions
of
on-ramp.
X
The
nazi
second
street
doesn't
have
ramps,
so
it
adds
no
capacity
to
the
freeway
and
then
we
look
at
the
travel
time
savings
of
each
these
options.
They
could
have
impact
on
reducing
congestion,
so
the
software
on-ramp
from
the
clear
connector
is
expected
to
reduce
close
to
500
percent
hours
per
day
and
the
southeast
sixth
straight
soft
on
ramp
increase.
X
I
X
So
these
are
the
three
alternatives
with
access
added
to
four
or
five
show
six
to
ten
seconds
of
delay.
Reduction
at
these
intersections,
but
the
last
e-second
straight
would
create
additional
circulation.
Issues
may
actually
increase
delay
at
the
local
intersections
next
slides
please.
X
This
the
we
look
at
how
each
of
these
alternatives
include
different
access,
and
here
that
on
the
screen,
show
is
the
three
alternatives
with
extensions
involved
and
all
the
alternatives
with
extensions
also
include
non-motorized
facilities,
including
those
is
expect
to
improve
travel
safety
for
those
modes,
not
motorized
modes.
X
X
X
It
turns
out
to
be
that
the
this
option
has
the
most
proper
impact
and
ensure
on
both
sides
of
the
freeway.
It
also
has
impact
two
white
names
that
show
in
in
blue
on
the
east
side
of
the
freeway.
X
They
ranged
from
150
million
dollars,
125
million
to
325.,
so
with
the
nikkei
connector
at
the
150
and
the
southeast
sixth
street
software
on-ramp
at
the
175
million
and
the
inside
connection
from
south
e6,
almost
almost
doubled
that
cost
and
the
nozzle's
second
straight
is
at
125
million.
So
these
are
a
planning
level
cost
estimate
and
is
subject
to
more
detailed
design
at
the
future
time
when
the
project
is
founded
next
slides,
please.
X
So
this
is
a
a.
We
have
done
a
extensive
community
engagement
effort.
At
this
point,
I
want
to
particularly
acknowledge
marie
johnson,
with
the
help
of
pr
forum
did
extensive
public
engagement
in
this
difficult
challenging
corporate
time.
X
Actually,
we
got
the
public
reaction
stakeholder
input
more
than
what
I've
known
in
the
past
that
the
in
the
face-to-face
meetings.
So
it
was
a
very
remarkable
job
down.
The
committed
engagement
includes
newsletters
stakeholder
meetings,
public
online,
open
house
interest
group
meetings,
individual
briefings,
whoever
that
contacted
us
for
more
information.
X
So
it
was
a
quite
extensive
effort,
next
slides,
please
so,
and
the
first
I
want
to
go
through
the
stakeholder
input.
The
stakeholders
are
property
owners
of
developers
within
the
study
area
also
includes
a
neighborhood
representative
of
the
association
neighborhood
associations
within
or
partially
within
the
study
area.
X
X
They
also
support
the
the
naked
hair
connector.
You
know
the
to
these,
the
three
alternatives
and
almost
get
equal
weight
from
them.
X
There's
an
no
support
for
the
no
build
and
they
believe
it
is
accept
unacceptable
with
the
forecaster
growth
and
that,
with
the
anticipated
economic
development
activities
next
slide,
please
so,
and
we've
done
extensive
outreach
to
community
at
large
and
the
main
event
is
the
two
public
online
open
houses
and
we
have
over
3000
people
visited
over
the
two
on
high
open
house.
X
X
So
next,
please
so
with
all
these
the
technical
analysis
and
the
input
received
from
the
public
stakeholders.
So
here
are
the
highlights
of
the
summary
of
these
options
that
we
studied
next
year.
Connector
it
compared
to
other
options.
It
aligns
better
with
the
transit,
easement,
tod
transit,
oriented
development.
X
X
X
X
It
doesn't
have
environmental
impact,
of
course,
and
although
no
no
monetary
cost
either,
but
the
stakeholders
are
strongly
believe
that
this
is
not
acceptable
option.
Although
some
public
commented
that
this
is
the
preferred
option
so,
based
on
all
this
and
staff,
I
would
like
to
recommend
for
the
council
to
identify
nuclear
connector
software
on-ramp
as
a
city's
preferred
alternative.
X
So
with
that,
and
and
this
is
the
the
direction
that
the
staff
asking
from
the
council
to
to
consider
and
take
a
profit
and
action
for
for
identify
nuclear
connected
software
on
rent
as
the
city's
preferred
alternative.
X
A
Okay,
so
basically
you're
asking
us
to
choose
an
alternative
as
the
city's
recommendation
to
wasdot
tonight
and
I'm
going
to
call
on
council
members
in
this
order.
I'm
going
to
start
with
me
then:
council,
member
lee
barksdale
robertson's
on
deputy
mayor
noon,
house
and
council
member
stokes,
and
I'm
going
to
start
with
myself
because
I
live
downtown,
and
so
I
feel
like
this
is
a
project
that
affects
the
area
where
I
live,
and
we
did
hear
public
comment
tonight
from
somebody
else
who
lives
downtown.
A
And
you
know
we
all
share
that
vision
of
everybody
being
able
to
walk
and
buy
bike
to
work.
But
the
reality
is
that
we're
always
going
to
have
cars,
and
this
is
about
access
to
I-405.
This
is
not
about
congestion
on
I-405,
it's
about
the
getting
people
access
to
the
freeway
and
when
they
don't
have
access
to
I-405,
they
start
taking
shortcuts
throughout
the
city
and
they
go
in
areas
where
high
speeds
and
high
traffic
volumes
are
not
safe
and
it's
it's
really
dangerous.
A
Actually,
so
I
think
that
it's
going
to
behoove
downtown
to
have
an
easier
access
point
to
I-405,
but
I
am
disappointed
that
the
option
that
I
prefer,
which
is
also
staff's
recommendation,
the
lake
hills
connector,
does
not
include
a
pet
bike
improvement
and,
as
somebody
who
cycles
downtown
that
southeast
eighth
is
one
of
the
most
dangerous
segments
of
a
commute.
And
a
lot
of
people
have
to
use
that.
W
So
mayor
we
do
have
a
cip
item,
we
looked
it
up
after
we
had
our
meeting
this
morning
for
southeast
eighth
and
it
does
involve
bike
lanes
on
both
sides
of
it
going
to
the
freeway.
We
do
you
want
to
expand
the
project
eventually
to
go.
You
know,
east
of
the
freeway,
but
right
now
that
that
is
a
cip
project
that
we
currently
have
funded
in
2023.
W
A
Well,
2023
seems
too
late
for
me
to
be
starting.
I'd,
be
fine
if
we
finished
it
in
2023,
but
the
city
is
going
to
be
a
lot
different
in
2023,
and
I
think
we
need
that
today.
So
I
would.
I
would
just
like
staff
to
consider
how
we
might
move
that
up.
That's
just
my
opinion,
I'll.
Let
the
rest
of
the
council
weigh
in
so
council
member
lee.
D
D
Second,
it's
not
because
it
doesn't
improve
much
of
anything
that
might
even
be
negative,
so
you're
left
with
three
alternatives,
and
so
we
have
to
choose-
and
that's
you
know,
each
alternative
has
just
been
for
good
things
and
bad
things,
and
so
I'm
glad
we
have
the
you
know,
objectives
and
criteria
to
look
at,
and
obviously
you
know
what
I
look
at
this.
I
I
think
you
can
look
straight
directly,
but
the
north
south
east
extension
inside
access
is
the
most
direct.
D
You
know,
because
the
purpose
of
the
project,
like
the
mayor,
said
it's
really
to
relieve
the
ins
grass
egress
access
to
downtown
from
405.
I
appreciate
you
know
we
heard
a
few
people
and
some
of
the
community
input.
We
have
also
heard
that
was
described
they're
concerned
about
adding
more
cars
into
the
street
downtown
or
the
freeway.
D
But
the
fact
is,
you
know
we
are
way
behind
on
405
traffic.
We
are
not
addressing
what
we
want
to
have
in
the
future,
but
we
are
addressing
what
we
have
today.
So
it's
already
congested,
so
we
are
trying
to
relieve.
How
do
we
help
you
know
getting
people
in
and
out
of
downtown
off
the
freeway,
so
the
freeway
has
to
be.
You
know
the
place
where
we
can
make
some
relief.
So
this
is
what
we're
focusing
on.
D
So
you
know
that's
the
reason,
so
it's
very
very
focused
it's
not
that
the
city
doesn't
want
to
look
at
the
field
car
or
you
know,
or
looking
at
more
multi-mode.
We
do.
But
this
is
a
very
specific
solution,
address
a
specific
problem.
Okay,
so
out
of
the
three
I
think
the
same
insider
access,
the
most
direct
you
don't
affect
any
surrounding
neighbor,
you
don't
affect
any
land
use.
You
basically
provide
the
relief
right
there.
D
Of
course,
however,
when
you
look
at
it,
it's
very
expensive,
two
and
a
half
three
times
more
than
the
other
two
alternatives.
So
that's
a
big
negative,
so
you
have
to
look
at
you
know.
What's
the
other
considerations
and
the
others
are
pretty
similar
yeah?
So
so
it
so.
D
You
really
come
to
a
conclusion
of
what
the
best
of
the
three
alternatives
and
I
believe
that
the
staff
recommendation
they
killed
connected
is
probably
the
the
one
to
choose
the
best
one
of
the
three,
even
though
he
still
has
some
negatives
because
he
has
to
bring
some
neighborhood
consideration
and
solve
these
six.
The
same
way
some
land
use
has
to
be
delayed.
That
has
to
be
affected
and
the
lake
hills
connection
that
was
we
mentioned.
D
You
know
it
does
not
tie
up
the
south,
the
eastman
luca,
which
is
good
and
so
yeah.
So,
given
all
the
consideration-
and
the
other
alternate
will
cause
some
potential
delay
or
luca
principle
of
console's
objective,
which
is
what
the
mayor
mentioned,
you
know
we're
looking
at
a
multimodal,
you
know,
so
it's
gonna
have
some
implications,
some
effect
on
other
things
you're
looking
at,
but
this
one
you
know,
I
think
it's
very
clear.
It's
you
know
it's
the
causewise,
it's
within
the
same
range
as
the
others.
D
A
V
Mayor,
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
your
question
about
the
timing
of
whether
or
not
we
could
accelerate
funding.
We
will
take
that
up
with
the
finance
department.
A
Great,
thank
you.
Councilmember
barksdale.
U
All
right,
thank
you
mayor.
I
I
also
just
want
to
help
with
the
mayor's
stand
in
terms
of
the
disappointment
that
he
didn't
have
any
sort
of
bike
bed
improvements
as
part
of
this
recommendation,
it's
the
only.
U
That
improvement-
and
I
would
love
to
see
that
so
I
support
the
the
idea
of
looking
at
how
we
can
expedite
the
southeast
streets,
cip
project.
I
guess
my
my
second
question
is
so
moving
forward
like
how
can
we
maybe
prioritize
projects
where
there
is
a
nexus?
I
hear
I
hear
the
point
that
this
is
an
isolated
problem
that
we're
trying
to
solve.
This
is
part
of
a
broader
system,
so
I
would
love
for
us
to
figure
out
a
way
to
prioritize
these
situations.
A
E
You
so
yeah
good
good
discussion.
So
far
in
look,
I
do
have
some
questions
for
staff.
Let
me
just
I
had
my
notes
right
up
on
the
stage
and
then
they
just
went
away
or
right
up
on
the
page.
So
my
question
where'd
it
go.
E
E
So
the
one
that
is
the
one
that
is
proposed
is
for
inclusion
is
not
on
the
downtown
side
of
405
and
it
is
south
of
downtown,
but
it
has
no
connection
between
downtown
and
that
which
is
the
lake
hills
connector.
So
I
understand
why
it's
being
recommended
I'd
like
to
ask
the
transportation
department,
because
I
know
this
was
a
joint
recommendation
from
many
departments
to
talk
about
from
a
transportation
perspective
only
what
is
the
best
solution,
because
I
don't
think
it's
the
lake
hills,
connector.
W
No
you're
right,
it's
probably
the
southeast.
Sixth
in
you,
know
inbound
access,
but
the
problem
with
that
project
is
that
you
would
have
to
move
405
to
the
west
and
it's
a
very
disruptive.
W
It
would
probably
take
about
three
and
a
half
years
to
build
it,
so
that
that
is
one
consideration
for
that.
It
probably
does
do
the
best
for
vehicular
traffic
throughout
the
downtown
area.
But
you're
right
I
mean
we're.
Looking
at
the
lake
hills
is
a
if
you
look
at
the
return
on
the
investment.
It
does
a
lot
for
a
lot
less
money,
but
you
are
right.
It's
the
southeast.
Inbound
access
is
the.
E
Yeah
I
like
that
one
because
it
gives
you
one
on
and
off
it.
It
parallels
nicely
almost
as
a
couplet
with
the
northeast
sixth
hot
lane
hiv
lane,
which
we'll
have
the
second
half
of
that
soon
it
seems
to
be
in
it
and
it
connects
both
sides
of
the
freeway,
so
is
from
a
transportation
perspective,
given
that
the
inside
lane
one
is
so
expensive,
is
the
southeast
sixth,
with
the
southbound
on
ramp
better
or
is
the
lake
hills
connector,
better
transportation
issue
only
you
know.
W
They're
pretty
much
the
same
and
I'll.
Let
shimming
speak
to
that
when
we
took
a
look
at
the
analysis
of
what
would
happen.
They're
pretty
similar
southeast
on-bound
access
is
a
little
bit
better,
but
not
that
much
more
shame.
Do
you
want
to
add
to
that.
W
It
would
provide
biped
access
across
the
freeway
absolutely.
E
Yeah,
so
so
the
one
of
the
big
issues
with
the
southeast.
Sixth
one
is
money:
if
we
do
the
inside
access
and
the
other
is
the
impact
on
the
land
use
plan
which
isn't
finished
yet
so
can
you
address
the
address,
whether
one
it
could
be
drafted
around
from
a
co-drafting
perspective
and
two,
whether
we
could
mitigate
the
impacts
on
the
adjacent
property?
If
the
council
wanted
to
move
forward
with
one
of
the
southeast
sixth
proposals.
W
I'm
gonna
have
to
ask
either
emil
or
mac
to
respond
to
that.
W
E
E
T
T
So,
if
we're
looking
at
purely
from
a
transportation
standpoint,
I
agree
that
southeast
six
has
the
the
best
improvements
in
travel,
but
I
think
the
part
that
we
haven't
talked
about
is
that,
in
order
to
for
the
ramp
to
be
built
with
the
right
grading
and
an
alignment,
it
is
going
to
impact
southeast
6th
as
you
come
down
and
to
the
touchdown
point,
and
I
believe
it
also
cuts
off
114th,
which
is
one
of
the
the
auxiliary
roads
that
we
use
quite
a
bit
in
our
city
on
the
back
side
of
that
development.
T
T
T
I
agree
with
the
mayor
that,
having
tried
to
run
from
118th
over
to
kelsey
creek,
I
find
I
find
that
the
sidewalk
ends
and
I'm
I'm
kind
of
stuck
running
with
cars
which
is
not
prefer.
W
To
mean:
do
you
want
to
take
that
yeah
you're
correct
the
council
members
on
it
does
disconnect
114th
from
sixth
in
that
alternative
chaming?
Do
you
want
to
take
that.
X
X
So
you
you're
right,
commission,
council,
member
down
and
the
connection
of
soft
e6
trade
with
114s
will
be
difficult.
So
it
will
it's
going
to
be
disconnected
and
then
the
json
property
will
have
to
go
to
114s
and
and
then
go
to
the
rest
of
the
center.
X
They
will
not
go
directly
accessing
the
extended
sahih
sex
trade.
K
A
Okay,
can
we
stop
there,
council,
members
on
and
I'll
come
back
to
you
yep,
okay,
deputy
mayor.
C
Thank
you
mayor,
first
of
all,
andrew
and
schuman.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
especially
appreciate
what
seems
like
very
robust
outreach,
but
as
part
of
that,
I
wanted
to
understand
too,
as
we're
talking
about,
and
I
echo
the
mayor's
thoughts
about
really
prioritizing
bike
path,
infrastructure
and
accelerating
that
funding.
C
But
I
wonder
if,
during
the
outreach
as
well,
if
you
spoke
to
any
organizations
or
groups
or
individuals
that
had
more
of
that
biped
lens
when
you're
doing
your
outreach,
can
you
can
you
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
jermaine?
Do
you
want
to
take
that.
X
Yeah
yeah,
that's
and
yeah
exactly
right
and,
as
I
mentioned,
there's
a
over
3
000
visitors
that
look
at
the
materials
online
online
and
about
ten
percent
of
15
of
them
provided
written
comments
and
of
those
who
provide
the
written
comments.
There
is
a
one
faction
that
emphasizes
our
non-motorized
improvements,
so
I
would
not
characterize-
and
this
is
a
statistical,
valid
numbers,
but
it
is
a
representation
of
what
we
heard
sure.
C
Sure,
no,
I
and
I-
and
I
appreciate
that
I
just
maybe
we
need
to
just
in
terms
of
outreach
which
again
I
applaud
and
was
very
robust,
this
time
as
you
had
mentioned,
but
I
think
maybe
identifying
some
key
groups
and
associations
that
again
have
that
bike
pad
lens
might
be
very
beneficial
for
us
moving
forward,
as
you've
heard
the
I
think,
the
the
the
strong
multi-modal
approach
that
that
I
know
we
have
as
a
city,
but
certainly
the
bike.
C
Cred
infrastructure,
I
think,
is
a
priority
for
for
for
all
of
us,
so
just
a
consideration
there,
but.
C
You
know
I
I
agree
with
the
with
the
proposal
here.
You
know,
given
all
the
factors,
and
I
appreciate
the
way
you've
you've
broken
this
down
in
terms
of
the
the
the
cost,
the
environmental
impacts,
the
significant
travel
benefits,
etc,
and
this
is
just
one
piece
of
a
much
larger
puzzle
that
will
maybe
will
have
more
immediate
impact
or
benefit
to
us
years
down
the
line.
C
But
I
think,
given
the
consideration
of
150
million
over
300
million,
the
8
000
persons
per
hour
compared
to
over,
you
know,
9
000
for
southeast
the
inside
access,
which,
which
would
be
nice-
and
I-
and
I
do
like
that-
76th
street
inside
access
perspective-
and
I
appreciate
my
colleague
councilman
robertson,
bringing
that
up,
but
I
think
that
is
somewhat
cost
prohibitive,
as
well
as
the
the
the
issues
with
the
property
owners
there
as
well,
because
the
lake
else
connectors
does
have
very
limited
impact
on
private
property.
C
So
that
is
certainly
another
benefit
to
this
as
well.
So
I
like
the
way
you
framed
it,
I'm
happy
to
present
this
or
support
this
going
forward.
But
again
we
just
really
appreciate
to
have
that
that
different
lens
during
the
outreach
to
make
sure
that
we're
hearing
and
thinking
about
that
bike
pad.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
deputy
mayor,
thank
you
and
councilmember
stokes
you're
next.
Y
Z
Agree
in
in
terms
of
the
choices
we
have
that
the
recommendation
for
lake
hills
is
the
best
one.
There
are
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
issues
with
this
sixth
street.
I
just
don't
think
it'll
ever
go
for
a
lot
of
reasons,
including
the
sturdivant
creek
and
a
lot
of
other
stuff
along
there.
It's
just
it
would
be
350
320
is
probably
half
of
what
it
would
cost
the
biggest
concern.
I
have
on
this
whole
thing.
Z
Well,
let
me
ask
the
question:
what
do
you,
what
happens
with
southeast
the
the
current
access
on
southeast
eighth?
There
with
you
know
coming
along
114.?
W
Z
But
I
mean
it's
that
well
the
act
right
now.
That's
where
you
get
on
the
freeway
come
down
114th
and
getting
on
the
freeway
there
at
southeast
across
southeast
8th.
Will
that
entrance
still
be
there
or
does
that
go.
Z
At
the
same
time,
you
know
it's,
probably
it's
the
best
one
there,
but
the
biggest
concern
I
have
is,
I
just
don't
think:
well
one
the
the
numbers
the
people
have
raised,
questions
about
the
numbers
being
so
dated
that
it
doesn't.
You
know
it's
kind
of
shaky
at
this
point
in
terms
of
real
savings.
Z
A
few
seconds
per
person
is
not
a
whole
lot.
I
mean
it
certainly
adds
up
when
you
have.
You
know
hundreds
of
cars.
So
it's
it's
it's
one
of
these
things
where
it
sounds
good
when
you
conglomerate
it.
But
when
you
take
the
pieces
apart,
I
don't
know
it
doesn't
seem
to
either
any
of
these
really
bring
a
real
positive
change
to
that,
and
I
believe
that
this
is
not
going
to
do
anything
except
jam
it
up
any
further.
Z
Until
we
get
the
I-90
to
405
access
built,
I
mean
you
get
so
if
you
come
on
right
now
get
on
on
going
down
south
the
blockage
is,
after
you
get
on
the
freeway
at
northeast
southeast
eight,
and
if
you
come
across
from
the
connector
you're
gonna
hit
that
same
block,
you're
gonna
go
slow
until
you
get
way
past
cold
creek
and
it's
it's
gonna.
Z
So
I
don't
know
I
mean
it's,
it's
a
real,
it's
a
great
idea,
but
I
think
it's
not
as
practical,
I'm
just
not
convinced
that
it
will
actually
work
as
it's
been
theorized.
The
other
thing
is
what
I'm
a
little
confused
about.
It
sounds
like.
We
think
that
if
we
say
okay
tonight,
then
we
start
building
on
this
and
we
so
we
put
off
the
east
main.
We
put
some
other
things
off
that
are
in
the
planning
or
affect
that.
X
A
Z
Yeah,
that's
I'd
like
yeah,
because
I
I
and
well
the
other
fact.
The
reason
I
raised
that,
yes,
it
was
dots,
and
so
we
don't
know
when
they're
going
to
get
to
it.
Having
worked
with
watchdog
for
a
long
time
it
you
know,
we
we've
been
talking
about
doing
something
405
for
ever
since
I've
been
on
council
and
before,
and
we've
done
some
things
and
I'm
concerned
about
the
talk
of
well,
we
may
have
to
put
off
doing
this
or
put
off
doing
that
in
our
planning.
Z
We
need
to
go
ahead
and
get
south
east
maine
done.
We
need
to
go
ahead
on
these
other
things
we've
been
working
on.
I
just
don't
see
us
saying
well
we're
going
to
put
those
on
on
hold.
We
have
to
redo
that,
because
this
lane
is
going
to
be
done.
It's
not
going
to
be
done,
probably
when
any
of
us
on
the
council.
So
that's
my
concern,
I'm
just
very
pessimistic
about
the
realities
of
this
piece.
W
Well,
I
can
speak
to
the.
It
is
one
of
our
legislative
priorities
going
into
the
session
to
try
to
get
funding
for
this,
and
I
I
I
don't
have
an
update
on
where
things
stand
with
regard
to
that.
The
comp
plan
issues,
I
think,
are
better
left
discussed
by
community
development
staff.
A
There
was
another
thing
that
council
member
stokes
brought
up
that
deputy
mayor
newton
house
asked
you
about
this
morning,
which
I
believe
was
the
amount
of
time
saved.
The
second
saved
how
that
may
not
be
relevant
today
independently,
but
in
combination
with
everything
else
going
on
that
that
has
more
significance.
Can
you
speak
to
that?
Please.
X
Sure,
yeah,
that's
a
it's
a
great
question
and
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
and
say
thanks
to
the
public
and
spend
their
time
devoted
a
lot
of
time
to
look
at
this
very
densely
technical
data
and
provide
a
very
insightful
input
and
they
have
helped
the
study
team
quite
a
bit
to
be
more
complete
as
we
evaluate
these
options
so
whether,
regarding
the
travel
time
savings.
X
This
is
a
like
deputy
mayor,
new
house
and
said
one
piece
of
the
larger
puzzle
and
we
have
the
state
of
taking
the
multi-modal
approach
and,
as
you
know,
that
the
ninth
night
rail
is
going
to
open
in
a
year
or
two
and
the
city
moving
towards
a
multi-modal
complete
straight.
So
we
have
extensive
bike.
Pedestrian
projects
planned.
X
X
X
X
A
My
opinion
has
not
changed,
so
I'm
gonna
stick
with
my
recommendation
to
go
with
staff's
approval,
but
to
push
on
with
a
southeast,
8th
pen
bike
improvements,
and
I
appreciate
councilmember
zahn's
input
on
the
impacts
of
some
of
the
other
alternatives.
Councilmember
lee.
D
D
I'm
frustrated
we're
spending
lots
of
time
coming
out
with
different
ideas
to
put
on
pieces
of
christmas
ottomans
on
the
pizza
tree.
You
know
I.
I
appreciate
everything
we
wanted
to
add
on
okay,
but
let's
focus
on
this,
get
it
going
so
that
we
don't
have
to
spend
time
because
the
costs
are
getting
up
all
the
criteria
they're
using
it's
all
messed
up,
it's
getting
other
stuff
added
to
it.
It's
nothing
to
do
with
the
actual
program,
the
problem
we
have
to
solve.
D
D
U
I
have
a
question
that
actually
might
be
important,
but
I
was
curious
about
whether
we've
considered
having
a
dedicated
bike
head
crossing.
G
U
Part
of
this
that's
separate
because
I
hear
you
on
the
southeast
bay
street,
but
that
doesn't
take
you
up
to
east
groves
every.
U
So
the
southeast
state
stream,
cip,
that
you
mentioned
that
doesn't
carry
pedestrians
up
to
trail,
is
that
right.
W
No,
it
just
it
provides
bike
pad.
You
know
a
bike
lane
on
south
e6,
headed
toward
the
freeway
going
going
east.
U
Okay
yeah.
I
was
just
curious
about
whether
whether
we've
considered
the
dedicated
sort
of
light
head
plane
up
to
the
east
trail.
A
I
know
there's
that
yeah,
that's
another
conversation.
A
Is
that,
are
you
done
okay,
councilmember,
robertson.
E
Thanks
so
I
did
have
more
questions,
but
I
hear
the
direction
the
council
is
heading.
I
agree
with
my
colleagues
who
are
really
looking
for
the
best
solution
and
I
hate
to
take
the
easy
solution.
If
it's
not
or
the
cheapest
solution,
if
it's
not
really
the
best
solution,
we
went
through
that
with
light
rail
and
we
really
fought
long
and
hard
to
get
the
best
solutions.
E
So,
but
I
understand
when
I
first
started
this
process,
I
thought
that
the
lake
hills
connector
was
going
to
be
the
way
to
go
it.
We
need
it
to
unlock
a
lot
of
the
zoning
in
wilberton,
but
it
doesn't
really
do
anything
for
downtown
in
terms
of
direct
access
across
no
ped
bike,
the
inline
was
just
or
the
inside
lane
was
such
a
superior
option.
So
I'm
I'm
disappointed
by
that,
but
it
seems
that
the
council
wants
to
support
the,
and
I
mean
hey.
Something
is
better
than
nothing
right.
E
T
Is
it's
about
trade-offs
right
and
ultimately,
you
know
what
I
think
about
is
if
we
didn't
have
to
make
a
decision
on
what
we're
building
today,
what
I'm
wondering
is
we
can
connect
on
at
least
what
we
don't
want,
which,
when
we
look
at
the
impacts
from
the
the
sixth
street,
I
think
there
are
a
number
of
things
that
doesn't
quite
work
from
our
east
main
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
there-
and
my
sense,
is
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
create
really
put
a
stake
in
the
ground.
T
That
says
this
is
our
preferred
alternative,
so
that
there
is
certainty
for
our
land
use
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
in
that
east
main
area
and
wilberton
as
well.
So
I
support
the
staff
recommendation
with
the
condition
that
I
really
believe
we
need
to
get
that
head
bike
on
southeast
8th
so
that
we
create
that
connection,
and
we
may
also
need
to
just
think
about
from
a
priority
standpoint.
T
Are
we
trying
to
push
from
a
legislative
standpoint
about
lake
hills,
or
are
we
also
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
get
if
there's
funding
available
for
to
do
more
ped
bike
and
vision,
zero?
That
there's
other
things
we're
also
interested
in
doing
that,
may
give
us
more
benefits
from
a
public
safety
standpoint,
so
I
think
there's
some
peripheral
discussion
and
decisions
we
might
need
to
make
associated
with
this.
Thank
you.
A
Great
deputy
mayor.
C
Yeah
my
opinion
hasn't
changed,
either
happy
to
move
this
forward.
Thank
you,
mayor.
G
Z
To
happen
but,
and
and
I
worry
about
whether
it
really
is
connecting
with
the
downtown
piece-
that's
you
know,
there's
some
issues
here,
there's
really
no
good
solution.
Z
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
I
think
we
can.
We
have
a
consensus
here
and
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
just
take
a
vote.
If
the
deputy
mayor
wants
to
make
a
motion,
certainly.
D
A
W
L
A
A
A
Next
thing
on
this
study
session
is
a
we'll:
have
our
city
manager
introduce
us,
but
I
just
I'm
gonna
ask
everybody
to
tighten
up
their
comments
for
the
rest
of
the
evening.
We
have
a
lot
to
go
through
tonight
and
we
don't
have
as
much
time
as
we
probably
need
to
have
a
lengthy
discussion
on
everything
so
on
the
areas
where
we
can
tighten
it
up.
Let's,
please
do
so.
Mr
miyake.
V
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
and
council
members
I'll
cut
to
the
chase
here.
The
next
topic
is
on
the
recommended
land
use
code
amendment
to
establish
lower
minimum
residential
parking
requirements
for
certain
developments
in
theirs
with
frequent
transit
service.
V
This
evening,
staff,
along
with
the
planning
commission,
will
introduce
the
land
use
code
recommendations
meeting
this
objective
staff
will
also
present
their
analysis
and
recommendations
regarding
a
number
of
other
topics:
council
directors,
staff,
to
look
into
related
to
the
standards
and,
just
by
way
of
background,
the
council
adopted
an
interim
official
control
which
established
these
minimum
standards
on
july
6th
and
then
extended
the
ordinance
on
may
18th
again.
Staff
are
seeking
council
direction
to
prepare
an
ordinance
based
on
the
outcome.
V
Tonight's
meeting
for
a
final
action
at
a
future
council
meeting
so
again
looking
for
direction
to
bring
it
back
at
another
future
meeting.
So
joining
this
evening
are
members
of
the
development
services
department
mike
the
director,
as
well
as
tristan
tanner's,
consulting
attorney
and
kristen,
christina
gallant,
senior,
planner
and
also
joining
us
this
evening
for
joint
presentation
is
radical
mole
kavar,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
planning
commission.
With
that
I'm
going
to
hand
it
off
to
mike.
M
Thank
you,
mr
miyaki,
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
and
house
of
council
members.
As
mr
miaki
mentioned,
we
are
here
this
evening
asking
for
council
direction
to
bring
back
a
final
ordinance
for
adoption
that
would
amend
the
land
use
code,
reducing
the
minimum
parking
requirements
for
residential
projects
in
frequent
transit
areas.
These
amendments
bring
the
city's
code
into
alignment
with
new
parking
requirements
that
are
included
in
state
statutes.
M
They
are
responsive
to
the
city's
affordable
housing
strategy,
as
you
know-
and
you
heard
from
speakers
this
evening-
and
otherwise
that
the
cost
of
providing
parking
is
a
significant
cost
driver
in
construction
of
housing
and
specifically
for
affordable
housing
projects.
M
So
this
provides
options
for
developers
to
reduce
the
parking
and
save
that
cost,
which
could
then
lead
to
reduced
cost
for
housing.
Also
want
to
point
out
that
these
codes
are
setting
a
minimum
they're,
not
a
requirement,
so
builders
are
allowed
to
build
at
a
higher
level
of
parking.
They
at
least
have
to
provide
this
as
the
baseline,
but
based
on
their
project,
location,
their
goals
and
market
conditions.
M
Developers
have
the
option.
Housing
developers
have
the
option
to
provide
additional
parking
above
these
minimums,
and
that
is
something
that
we
do
see
on
a
fairly
frequent
basis,
even
with
the
minimums
that
we
have
in
place
now.
But
given
the
investment
in
transit,
that's
happening
in
this
city,
leveraging
that
investment
and
reducing
reliance
on
cars
and
reducing
housing
costs
is
really
the
goal
that
we're
trying
to
accomplish
one
of
the
goals
that
we're
trying
to
accomplish
with
this.
M
So
at
this
point
for
the
staff
report,
I
will
hand
it
over
to
tris
nathanas
and
christina
galat,
and
that
can
provide
the
staff
report
and,
as
mr
miyaki
mentioned,
the
planning
commission,
chairman
of
carter,
will
be
here
to
present
the
planning
commission
recommendation.
So
trisna.
AA
Thank
you
mike
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
council,
member
city
manager,
miyaki,
I'm
trust
nathan
as
consulting
attorney
for
development
services.
Thank
you
for
having
us
tonight
to
present
this
item.
As
mr
brennan
noted,
we
are
asking
council
to
direct
staff
to
bring
the
ordinance
as
drafted
for
final
action
at
a
future
meeting
after
your
discussion
tonight
for
our
agenda
this
evening.
Oops
sorry
did
that.
U
AA
Okay,
thank
you
sorry,
so
for
our
agenda
this
evening
we
are.
We
will
be
starting
by
providing
some
background
information,
including
including
explaining
the
objectives
of
this
land
use
code,
amendment
or
luca,
and
I
will
do
that
background
presentation
and
then
turn
it
over
to
christina
gallant
to
go
through
the
components
of
the
luca.
We
will
also
have
information
about
the
engagement
that
we've
had
with
the
public
and
planning
commission.
Chair
muhgovkar
will
present
the
planning
commission
recommendation
to
the
city
council.
AA
So
there
are
two
sets
of
objectives
for
this
luca.
The
first
is
to
support
the
2017,
affordable
housing
strategy,
as
well
as
the
transit
master
plan,
and
the
second
is
to
conform.
The
land
use
code
to
requirements
in
state
statutes,
specifically
rcw
3678
620
and
rcw
3678
698,
the
affordable
housing
strategy,
memorialized
the
city's
commitment
to
through
creating
affordable
housing
opportunities
in
bellevue
related
to
this
luca
action
c5
looks
to
lower
the
cost
of
building,
affordable
housing
and
action.
AA
B1
specifically
calls
for
reducing
parking
requirements
for
housing
around
light
rail
stations
as
parking
is
an
expensive
piece
of
residential
development,
as
mr
brennan
pointed
out,
costing
anywhere
from
25
000
for
space
upwards
of
50
to
60,
000
or
more,
when
they
are
built
underground.
AA
A
couple
of
other
city
policies
that
are
applicable
here,
the
city's
comprehensive
plan
policy,
specifically
land
use
one-
is
to
direct
most
of
the
city's
growth
to
the
downtown
regional
growth
center
and
to
other
areas
designated
for
compact
mixed-use
development
served
by
a
full
range
of
transportation
options,
as
well
as
the
transportation
master
plan
recommendation
to
support
transit
use
through
design
regulations.
This
is
transit
strategy.
Seven
state
regulations
here,
in
addition
to
advancing
the
affordable
housing
strategy
and
other
study
policies.
AA
AA
This
specific
rcw
requires
cities
like
bellevue
to
have
conforming
regulations
by
june
11th
of
last
year,
council
passed
interim
regulations,
as
mr
miyaki
pointed
out
earlier,
in
order
to
conform
the
city's
regulations,
while
permanent
regulations
are
being
developed,
the
interim
official
control
was
extended
after
a
public
hearing
in
the
fall
and
is
now
set
to
expire
on
may.
AA
AA
I
want
to
quickly
recall
the
components
of
the
interim
official
control,
which
was
mentioned
earlier.
This
established
temporary
regulations
to
align
with
the
state
statute
council
elected
to
be
included
in
the
interim
official
control,
the
eligibility
criteria
matching
the
state
statute
and
council
also
selected
to
have
a
0.75
space
per
unit
across
the
board
for
both
studios,
as
well
as
other
types
of
units.
AA
So
at
the
time
council
adopted
the
interim
official
control
council
also
directed
staff
to
analyze
four
additional
topics
for
the
development
of
the
permanent
code
amendment
the
first
is
to
analyze
the
appropriate
radius,
one
quarter
mile
or
one
half
mile
from
frequent
transit
service.
AA
AA
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
over
this
presentation
to
christina
got
to
talk
through
the
lucca
topics
and
the
components
of
deluca.
R
Christina,
thank
you
trisna
good
evening,
mayor
robinson
and
council
members.
As
tristan
has
shown,
this
is
a
aluca
with
a
lot
of
layers
and
components.
So
we've
broken
it
into
the
six
topics
you
see
on
this
slide
for
helping
explain
things,
and
now
I
will
walk
through
each
of
those
six
topics
and
explain
our
recommendations
next
slide.
Please.
R
R
We
have
applied
a
quarter
mile
radius
and
in
that
area
only
affordable
housing
would
be
eligible
for
reduced
minimum
parking
requirements
for
the
higher
frequency
tier
we've
defined
consistent
with
the
state
law,
as
stops
with
service
at
least
four
times
per
hour.
We
have
also
included
our
future
light.
Rail
or
bus.
Rapid
transit
stops
opening.
Within
two
years
we
have
applied
a
half
mile
radius
and
within
that
area,
market
rate,
multi-family,
senior,
housing
and
affordable
housing
would
be
eligible
for
reduced
parking
requirements.
R
R
This
shows
the
different
radius
sizes,
and
one
thing
to
note
here
is
that
this
proposal
would
not
change
the
underlying
zoning,
so
this
eligibility
is
only
applicable
where
those
land
uses
are
also
permitted,
so
multi-family
would
not
be
allowed
in
areas
where
it
is
not
currently
allowed,
for
example,
next
slide,
please.
R
And
so
in
each
of
these
topics
we're
going
to
distinguish
between
the
state
minimum
and
our
recommendations
that
go
beyond
that.
Consistent
with
some
of
the
city's
other
goals,
we
have
defined,
affordable
housing.
More
broadly,
we
are
proposing
going
up
to
eighty
percent
median
income
instead
of
fifty
percent
consistent
with
some
of
our
other
established,
affordable
housing
incentives
and
to
accommodate
a
wider
range
of
affordable
housing
programs.
R
We
have
required
that
this
reduction
would
only
be
available
to
permanent,
affordable
housing
that
would
be
housing
units
where
there
is
a
recorded
agreement
restricting
that
affordable,
rent
or
affordable
sale
price
for
the
life
of
the
unit
for
the
higher
frequency
tier.
We
have
expanded
the
radius
to
a
half
mile,
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
definition
for
transit
oriented
development.
R
We
do
have
some
ability
to
use
evidence
to
determine
when
reduced
parking
may
not
be
appropriate.
One
objective
standard
that
we
have
included
in
the
luca
would
be
to
establish
that
in
cases
where
someone
would
have
to
walk
more
than
a
half
mile
to
a
qualifying
transit.
Stop
that
the
director
can
determine
that
frequent
transit
service
is
not
available.
R
R
R
R
So,
while
we're
proposing
updating
the
maps
at
least
annually,
if
there's
a
significant
service
change
during
the
year,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
the
decision
could
be
responsive
to
that.
So
next,
I'm
going
to
cover
two
topics.
At
the
same
time,
topic
two
is
parking
ratios
and
topic.
Five
is
incentives
for
affordable
housing,
because
the
incentives
available
in
this
luca
are
type
the
parking
ratios,
and
so
in
order
to
provide
increased
flexibility
for
affordable
housing
development,
we
have
proposed
lower
ratios
in
the
higher
frequency
tier.
R
R
So
similar
tiered
approach
that
we
presented
in
the
previous
topic,
we
have
a
lower
frequency
tier
and
a
higher
frequency
tier
in
the
lower
frequency
tier
only
affordable
housing
would
be
eligible
for
reductions
at
the
0.75
spaces
per
unit
level
in
the
higher
frequency
tier
eligibility
expands
to
include
market
rate
multi-family
and
senior
housing
as
well,
though,
for
affordable
housing,
the
minimum
would
drop
to
0.5
spaces
per
unit
or
0.25
for
small
units
at
60
ami.
R
That
was
an
incentive
level
we
offer
currently
in
bellredden
eastgate
for
market
rate
multifamily
we've
carried
through
from
the
ioc
the
0.75
spaces
per
unit
and
same
as
the
ioc
as
well.
No
minimum
for
senior
housing
for
residents
only
next
slide.
Please.
R
And
within
that,
as
mentioned,
we
have
proposed
a
flat
minimum
parking
ratio,
drawing
from
some
of
the
some
established
ratios
that
are
already
used
in
specific
cases
in
the
city,
though
again
this
is
not
applicable
to
parking
for
residents
and
see
in
senior
housing
and
people
with
disabilities.
R
R
From
existing
incentives-
and
then
this
is
not
related
to
the
state
minimum
law,
but
because
I
know
this
topic
is
coming
up
and
there's
some
room
for
confusion.
This
luca
would
not
modify
or
amend
the
city's
mfte
program
next
slide.
Please,
our
next
topic
would
be
the
parking
departures
process
currently
developers
downtown
have
the
ability
to
submit
a
parking
study
for
consideration
and
review
in
in
seeking
even
lower
parking
for
their
projects.
R
The
challenge
staff
are
working
with
is
that
by
separating
this
decision
from
design
review,
it
limits
the
opportunity
for
public
comment
that
we
normally
have
under
a
can
any
other
zoning
departure
process
and
present
trans
some
potential
transparency
concerns
so
recognizing
this
is
an
ideal.
We
do
see
that
the
best
approach
to
addressing
the
issues
with
the
parking
departure
process
is
really
to
right
size.
R
The
parking
requirements
themselves
that
ideally
parking
departures
should
only
be
necessary
for
exceptional
projects
in
exceptional
circumstances
and
the
parking
requirements
should
more
or
less
represent
the
market,
and
so
we
do
believe
that
the
luca
can
help
advance
that
goal,
but
we
do
recommend
revisiting
the
current
process
in
the
future.
We
have
had
some
great
ideas,
for
example,
implementing
a
walkability
index
to
help
accommodate
some
further
reductions.
R
Currently
we
require
one
visitor
space
for
every
20
residential
units
downtown
those
standards
were
implemented
in
october,
2017
we've
had
limited
downtown
residential
development
completed
and
occupied
since
that
time,
so
we
haven't
been
able
to
have
the
benefit
of
looking
back
at
development
to
see
what's
working
and
what's
not
working.
So
at
this
time
we
do
recommend
maintaining
the
current
standard
while
monitoring
performance
over
the
coming
years.
R
The
luca
does
include
a
not
to
exceed
provision
to
address
cases
where
the
addition
of
the
visitor
parking
would
bring
a
project's
parking
ratio
above
the
minimum
under
state
law
next
slide
and
our
final
topic
adu
parking.
This
was
a
new
topic.
Since
the
ioc
was
brought
forward.
We
have
in
the
luca
we
have
proposed
adjustments
consistent
with
rcw
3670a698.
R
This
would
remove
off-street
parking
requirements
for
adus
located
within
a
quarter
mile
radius
of
the
higher
frequency
tier
stops
on
this
slide.
You
can
see
where
those
were
located
as
well.
The
one
deviation
from
the
state
law
is
that
we
have
also
included
future
light.
Rail
and
bus,
rapid
transit
stops
opening
within
two
years,
in
this
case
as
well,
and
as
you
can
see,
they
generally
overlap,
except
in
bell
red.
R
So
we
employed
several
modes
of
outreach
on
this
project.
First,
our
standard
process,
four
requirements
for
noticing
in
public
hearings,
we
did
also
engage
in
direct
engagement
and
feedback
in
focus
groups
and
conversations
with
development,
community
representatives
and
other
interested
stakeholders
regarding
the
proposed
amendments.
R
Y
Christina
yes,
so
the
planning
commission
reviewed
this
luca
in
two
study
sessions
on
january
13th
and
january
27th,
as
well
as
having
our
public
hearing
on
february
24th.
To
make
this
recommendation,
we
heard
quite
a
few
comments
from
the
community
members
and
interested
parties
in
the
for
the
most
part.
Commentators
were
supportive
of
this
luca
and
agreed
that
the
luca
would
result
in
additional
housing
being
built
in
bellevue,
including
affordable
housing.
Y
The
planning
commission
discussed
both
supportive
comments
as
well
as
concerns
about
the
luca.
The
planning
commission
also
discussed
other
issues
and
requested
and
received
additional
information
related
to
the
luca,
including
parking
demand
at
affordable
housing
developments
and
the
importance
of
walkability
in
supporting
transit's
use.
Y
The
planning
commission
noted
that
there
was
a
lack
of
recent
data
specific
to
bellevue
after
discussion.
The
planning
commission
determined
that
the
luca
involved
trade-offs,
but
the
potential
opportunities
of
the
luca
to
increase
housing
and
affordable
housing
supply
in
the
city
outweighs
the
potential
costs
and
risks.
The
planning
commission
found
that
the
luca
meets
the
decision
criteria
of
luc
2030
j
135
and
is
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan,
enhances
the
public
safety
and
welfare
and
is
not
contrary
to
the
best
interests
of
the
citizens
and
property
owners
of
the
city
of
bellevue.
Y
The
planning
commission
recommended
by
a
vote
of
six
to
one
that
the
city
council
adopted
the
minimum
residential
parking
luca
without
modification.
This
is
the
recommendation.
That's
included
in
the
planning
commission
commission's
resolution
as
attachment
a
of
your
pocket
packet
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
back
to
christina
and
trisna.
Thank.
Y
AA
Apologies,
so
this
slide
shows
the
luca
process
that
we've
gone
through.
It
is
a
process
four,
so
it's
a
city
council,
legislative
action.
As
the
chair
mentioned,
we
went
through
planning,
commission
study
sessions,
january
13th
and
then
january
27th
and
the
planning
commission
held
the
public
hearing
on
the
required
public
hearing
on
february.
AA
24Th
today
is
april
5th,
and
you
are,
the
city
council
is
having
its
study
session
to
introduce
this
luca
and
as
well
as
to
to
potentially
direct
staff,
to
bring
this
ordinance
the
draft
ordinance
for
action
at
a
future
meeting.
AA
We
are
planning
on
going
to
the
ebcc
for
a
courtesy
hearing
tomorrow
night
and
then
the
again,
with
the
goal
of
being
able
to
have
permanent
regulations
prior
to
the
expiration
of
the
interim
official
control,
which
is
may
18th,
is
the
expiration
date
so
restating
the
direction
that
staff
is
looking
for.
We
are
hoping
the
council
will
direct
staff
to
bring
the
ordinance
as
drafted
for
final
action
at
a
future
meeting,
and
that
concludes
our
presentation.
A
A
You
go.
Thank
you,
so
I'd
like
to
encourage
council
to
kind
of
stick
to
these
topics,
because
this
is
what
we're
being
asked
to
direct
staff
about.
So
I'm
going
to
call
on
council
member
barksdale
first
because
he's
the
liaison
to
the
planning
commission
and
then
council,
member
robertson,
zahn,
deputy
mayor
noon,
house,
council,
member
stokes
lee
and
then
myself
so
council
member
barksdale.
Would
you
like
to
start
us
off.
U
O
U
A
U
All
right,
so
I
support
the
planning
commission's
recommendation.
Thank
the
commission
and
staff.
One
point
that
came
up
during
the
during
this
topic:
that's
sort
of
related
is
improving
the
sidewalks
to
improve
walkability,
so
not
as
part
of
this
luca
but
just
curious
about
the
idea
may
be
prioritizing
sidewalks
in
these
areas
in
the
frequent
transit
areas
for
upcoming
work.
That's
it.
M
So
I'll
I'll
try,
although
that
would
be
probably
a
transportation
department,
would
be
able
to
provide
a
more
comprehensive
answer
because
they
manage
the
cip.
That
really
does
does
that
work
and
and
there's
the
investments.
M
The
neighborhood
investments
and
the
levy
that
was
passed
a
number
of
years
ago
has
made
a
big
investment
in
in
some
of
that
walkability
and
improving
sidewalks,
and
I
know
that
is
a
continued
focus,
particularly
in
the
developing
areas,
the
kind
of
the
growth
centers
of
the
city
to
make
those
investments,
and
if
you
go
out
into
the
bell
red
quarter,
for
example,
you
see
a
significant
amount
of
work
that
is
being
done
to
improve
walkability
and
access,
as
development
occurs
out
there.
M
So
it's
always
a
work
in
progress,
but
you're,
absolutely
right
from
a
strategy
standpoint.
Making
those
investments
into
walk,
improving
walkability,
where
we
have
frequent
transit,
certainly
would
benefit
the
city.
E
Thanks
yeah,
I
support
the
planning
commission's
recommendation.
I
think
it's
important
to
remember
why
we
did
this.
We
started
kicking
this
off
to
do
this,
because
state
law
changed
what
required
us
to
take
this
matter
up,
but
in
the
intervening
time
we've
been
looking
a
lot
at
how
much
we
need
more
housing
in
general
in
bellevue
and
how
much
we
need.
Affordable,
housing
and
parking
is
a
huge
component
of
the
costs
of
housing
and
a
barrier
to
creation
of
housing.
So
I
think
that
that
is
really
helpful.
E
The
other
thing
to
keep
in
mind
is
that
the
developments
that
are
going
in
today
aren't
for
the
bellevue
residents
who
live
in
bellevue
today,
although
some
may
live
there,
they're
for
the
bellevue
residents
of
the
future,
and
that
is
going
to
be
a
somewhat
different
demographic
than
we
have
right
now,
given
the
growth
of
jobs,
particularly
in
the
tech
fields
that
are
coming
to
bellevue,
a
lot
of
those
people
that
will
be
filling
those
jobs
and
filling
these
new
dwelling
units
will
not
be
taking
will
not
be
having
as
many
vehicles
if
any
as
they
do
today,
and
so
we
and
so
we're.
E
You
know,
projecting
that
we
will
not
need
as
many
parking
spaces.
So
I
think
that
that's
important
to
keep
in
mind.
I
did
take
seriously
and
I
do
take
seriously
the
concerns
expressed
by
the
neighborhoods,
particularly
vision,
zero
and
I
joined
councilman
barksdale's
interest
in,
of
course,
having
more
safe
pedestrian
routes.
That's
one
of
the
reasons
that
this
council
put
the
neighborhood
levy
on
the
ballot,
which
provides
more
safe,
walking
routes
for
all
people,
I'm
wondering
if
we
could.
E
The
next
time
we
update
the
capital
on
the
levy
money
we
we
had
previously
focused
on
safe
routes
to
school,
and
we
tried
to
make
sure
that
kids
had
safe,
walk
routes
to
school.
I
think
that
it
would
be
nice
to
score
the
safe
routes
to
transit
that
would
be
really
important
so
that
people
can
get
where
they
need
to
go.
E
Finally,
I
really
appreciate
that
the
draft
legislation
includes
a
consistent
update
with
the
metro
and
transit
transit
routes,
because
those
do
change
they
change,
sometimes
as
much
as
twice
a
year
and
I'm
as
a
member
on
the
regional
transit
committee.
I
know
that
there's
going
to
be
changes
coming
up
in
the
next
24
months
in
particular,
and
so
making
sure
that
this
is
more
flexible
so
that
we
know
where
the
routes
are
and
where
they
are
not.
E
T
You
know
I
especially
like
the
fact
that
if
we
start
to
right-size
parking
requirements,
then
hopefully
there
are
a
few
fewer
parking
departure
review
that
has
to
take
place,
and
so
that's
less
work
for
staff
to
have
to
deal
with
these
one-offs
and
to
the
degree
that
we
get
the
right
sizing.
I
appreciate
looking
at
the
nuance
between
the
quarter
and
the
half
mile
based
on
transit.
T
I
would
be
the
third
voice
to
say:
let's
make
sure
that
we
look
at
at
at
more
funding
for
sidewalks
and
walkability
to
the
transit.
I
also
think
that
maybe
we
should
be
also
looking
at
our
state
and
federal
priorities
to
to
accentuate
the
advocacy
for
more
transit.
I
know
that
part
of
the
both
the
federal
jobs
plan
or
infrastructure
does
have
vision,
zero
and
transit
in
there.
T
Maybe
we
can
do
more
to
do
advocacy
so
that
we
can
look
at
potentially
more
grant
funding
to
those
to
do
those
kinds
of
projects
in
our
city,
especially
if
they
are
supporting
transit,
because
that
is
one
of
the
priorities
at
the
federal
level
that
we've
been
talking
about,
and
I
especially
like
the
walkability
index
so
that
we
can
prioritize.
T
C
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
for
the
great
presentation,
very
thoughtful
and
well
laid
out,
and
I
just
wanted
to
touch
a
little
bit
on
some
of
the
also
very
thoughtful
questions
and
comments
during
oral
communications
earlier
this
evening.
So
one
of
the
questions
that
came
up
was
with
seniors
and
lower
income
residents,
who
really
do
depend
on
a
car.
C
Did
we
do
any
analysis
here
in
terms
of
the
potential
impact
to
to
both
of
these
residents
potentially
in
our
in
our
community,
and
will
it
violate
any
applicable
laws?
I'm
sure
you
already
examined
that
in
terms
of
ada
or
any
anti-discrimination
laws,
but
since
it
came
out,
but
that
was
a
interesting
question
so
wondering
if
you
took
a
look
at
that
as
well.
M
So
why
don't?
I
take
the
last
question
and
then
I'll
ask
trisna
and
christina
to
answer
the
question
about
senior
housing,
so
we
are
aligning
this
ordinance
with
the
state
statutes.
There
are
some
areas
where
there
are
minor
differences
in
what
the
state
requires.
M
M
Although
we
received
the
you
know,
the
comments
late
this
afternoon
haven't
had
a
chance
to
dig
into
them
anymore
deeply,
but
I
can
say
I
think,
with
some
confidence.
It's
been
a
pretty
comprehensive
review
of
this
and
no
concerns
of
that
nature
have
been
raised
in
our
staff
review
and
the
legal
department
or
the
city
attorney's
office
review,
and
we
also
do
review
each
project
for
compliance
with
ada
when
they
go
through
development
review.
M
So
we
ensure
that
they're
meeting
those
those
requirements
as
applicable
and
then
also,
as
I
noted
in
my
opening
comments,
these
are
minimum
requirements.
They're
not
they
are
not
a
required
minimum.
They
are.
They
can't
go
below
this
without
the
departure
they
can
build.
Above
this
they
can,
they
can
improve,
provide
parking
in
senior
housing
projects
and
and
many
if
not
most,
senior
housing
projects
have
parking
provided
for
the
residents.
M
It
is
really
a
market
condition
that
drives
that
and
those
senior
housing
projects
are
are
working
to
to
really
target
various
different
markets,
and
so
that
parking
need
may
vary
depending
on
on
who
they
are,
who
the
residents
will
be.
So
I
again
on
that
question
I
think
we're
in
in
pretty
good
shape,
but
again
we
haven't
had
a
chance
to
detail
I'll,
do
a
detailed
study
on
it
on
those
specific
comments
that
were
raised
this
evening.
Okay,
generally,
if
necessary,
we
could
follow
if
council
wants
us
to.
M
I
will,
on
the
other
question
deputy
mayor,
will
ask
tristan
christina
to
respond.
Tristana.
AA
AA
So
we
have,
I
think,
as
the
chair
planning
commission
chair
mentioned
a
little
bit,
there
is
definitely
a
lack
of
recent
and
targeted
data
in
regards
to
parking
and
specifically
to
bellevue.
AA
The
thinking
there
is
to
be
able
to
do
that
after
postcoving
and
certainly
after
light
rail
is
in
place
so
that
we
can
get
really
good
data
on
usage
and
demand
for
for
parking
after
those
kind
of
has
been
after
especially
light
rail
has
been
in
place
for
some
time.
C
Okay,
well
then,
my
follow-up
question
that
would
be
given
that
the
data
may
not
be
as
as
accurate
as
we'd
like
it
to
be,
and-
and
I
and
I
get
that
the
state
recommended
is
a
quarter
mile,
but
we're
recommending
half
a
mile
at
this
point
or
staff
is,
and
the
planning
commission
is
you
know,
do
we
feel
I
guess
what's
the
argument
for
going
directly
to
that
half
mile,
if
we
don't
feel
the
the
data
is,
is
is
great
at
this
point,
are
we
not
safer
going
with
the
quarter
mile
versus
pushing
right
away
to
the
half
mile?
C
Just
asking
the
question:
do
you
have
any
thoughts
on
that.
AA
Yes,
we
we
did
look
at
what
would
work,
it's
a
balancing
of
being
able
to
provide
reduced
minimums
and
to
allow
that
additional
housing
and
affordable
housing
to
be
built
and
balancing
that
with
the
potential
impacts
and
as
again,
the
chair
noted
in
her
presentation.
AA
The
planning
commission
really
felt
like
it
was
the
right.
There
is
some
trade-offs
to
be
made,
but
felt
that
going
forward
with
the
with
the
half
mile
would
allow
for
an
increase
in
in
housing,
development
and
affordable
housing.
Development.
Z
Stokes,
no,
I
I
think
it's.
I
appreciate
this,
the
presentation,
the
staffs
work
on
this
actually,
and
this
happens
every
so
often
I
would
say
that
councilmember
robertson,
I
kind
of
laid
out
my
view
on
it
as
well.
I
think
it's
work
well
done.
I
think
it's
something
we
need
to
do
and
the
requirements
are
reasonable.
Z
You
know
tackling
the
issues
of
who
has
access
and
all
those
are
things
we
have
to
work
on,
but
I
think
it's
a
great
plan
staff's
done
a
great
job
and
and
I'm
all
ready
to
look
for
it.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
lee.
D
Well,
we
me
we
need
more
housing
because
we
have
to
accommodate
more
people
coming
to
bellevue
and
parking
is
important
for
the
cost
of
housing,
and
we
know
you
know
it's
a
big
fact.
D
So
I
think
we
are
focusing
on
the
right
thing
and
I
think
the
key
I
heard
in
even
the
public
testimony
you
know
we
need
to
right-size
it
because
we
don't
know
what
the
future
is
and
we
are
just
using.
Some
data
like
deputy
mayor
was
asking,
so
we
need
to
work
it
right
because
that's
reality.
Okay,
so
we
need
to
right-size
it,
and
I
think
this
is
a
good
step.
I
think
the
staff
did
a
good
job
transportation.
D
I
mean
planning
commission
made
a
you
know
reasonable
decision
to
encourage
more
housing.
You
know
we
narrowed.
You
know
further
from
quarter
mile
to
half
a
mile,
so
I
think
we
can
live
with
that,
especially
having
the
flexibility
of
rice
icing.
You
know
we'll
we'll
figure
it
out,
but
the
key
is:
how
do
you
reduce
cost
of
houses
who
have
more
housing?
D
However,
you
know,
I
also
have
a
little
bit
of
a
question
regarding
the
neighborhoods
that
we
have
now.
We
have
seniors
where
people
who
depend
on
parking
who
depends
on
you
know
walking
to
the
transit
and
all
that,
especially
when
we
increase
it
to
half
a
mile.
So
I
would
like
to
this
is
where
this
is
the
project
I
like
to
put
more
ornament
on
christmas
trees.
D
We
need
to
figure
out
how
to
put
in
better
pavement
how
to
improve
on
walkability.
How
do
we
improve
our
accessibility?
You
know
to
where
the
seniors
or
people
who
live
there
who
need
you
know
to
to
not
have
cars
and
to
get
to
where
they
want
to
go?
I
think
we
need
to
figure
that
out.
We
need
to
make
sure
we
commit,
as
we
were
talking
about
earlier
in
the
other.
You
know
work
that
study
we're
looking
at
land
use.
D
D
I
think
you
know
this.
Will
give
us
the
direction
to
go
to
more
housing
and
the
same
time
I
really
like
to
just
like
we
did
before
have
the
city
looking
into
more
neighborhoods
more
services,
especially
we
also
was
considering
adu
right.
You
know
people
who
have
ability
situations.
We
need
to
do
something
for
those.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
I
actually
have
a
lot
of
questions
and
I'm
very
supportive
of
encouraging
affordable
housing,
as
you
know,
but
I
I
do
want
to
just
ask
a
few
questions
and
first
I
love
that
safe
routes
to
transit
line.
I
think
that's
a
good
guide.
I'd
love
to
focus
on
that
in
terms
of
the
senior
parking
do
we
make
a
distinction
between
independent
living
and
assisted
living
facilities.
AA
A
I
think
that's
a
big
mistake
to
be
honest
with
you,
because
you
know
independent
living
seniors
are
probably
the
people
who
really
are
still
independent
because
they
can
drive
and
silver
glenn
is
a
really
good
example
of
that.
That's
you
know
within
a
quarter
mile
of
a
of
a
rapid
transit,
but
hardly
anybody
can
walk
there
and
walk
back
functionally
with
groceries
or
what
for
whatever
reason,
and
they
really
need
their
cars
assisted
living.
However,
most
people
don't
drive
who
are
in
assisted
living,
so
you
could
certainly
reduce
the
parking
requirements
and
assisted
living.
A
A
M
Question
so
tristan,
do
you
want
to
answer
the
question
on
the
ad
use
that
really
trying
to
we've
got
to
maintain
it
with
the
state
statute?
AA
AA
As
you
probably
noted
in
the
I
can
go
to
that
slide,
the
the
the
difference
that
we
are
that
we
did
put
in
place
is
the
we
did
include
future
light
rail
or
bus
rapid
transit,
because
we
felt
like
that.
That's
really
that
where
we
could
rely
on
that
transit
service,
but
we
kept
it
at
that
four
times
per
hour,
so
pretty
high
frequency
and
then
kept
the
radius
to
that
quarter,
mile
to
again
to
reduce
that
to
make
sure
that
they
can
access
frequency.
A
Well,
I
know
it
wouldn't
be
in
our
action
tonight,
but
when
we
permit
an
adu,
couldn't
we
put
a
requirement
in
if
it's
a
quarter
mile
within
a
quarter
mile
of
the
frequent
transit
service,
we
could
do
something
like
that
require
that
I
see
stokes
shaking
his
head.
Well,
it's
a
question
worth
asking
because
yeah.
M
From
an
enforceability
standpoint,
I
think
that
would
be
very
difficult
to
prohibit
somebody
from
living
in
an
adu
that
had
a
vehicle
or
that
owned
a
vehicle
that
might
be
a
bit
challenging
just
for
consistent
enforcement
and
again
the
area
where
we
have
this.
You
know
this
frequent
transit
at
four
times
per
hour,
at
least
within
a
quarter
of
a
mile
is
not
a
huge
area
of
the
city
either.
So
there
are
many
of
the
neighborhoods,
where
adus
that
aren't
in
in
close
proximity
to
frequent
transit
would
need
to
provide
that
parking.
A
AA
So
the
state
regulations
only
provide
for
senior
housing
and
don't
make
a
distinction
between
the
types
of
senior
housing
that
may
be.
You
know,
may
be
there
in
in
reality.
I
think
mike's
previous
comment
that
really
it
is
market
driven.
So
where
a
developer
is
has
a
clientele
of
seniors
who
are
very
much
active
and
who
do
drive,
then
it
is
very
likely
that
the
develop
the
developer
would
provide
that
parking
in
order
to
attract
that
clientele.
AA
So
we,
I
think
again
we're
limited
based
on
the
state
statute,
but
we
also
feel
confident
that
there's
some
of
the
market
forces
that
would
really
provide
for
parking
when
parking
is
needed.
A
I
would
really
hate
to
limit
parking
for
the
people
who
who
really
need
it
to
get
around.
Okay.
Well,
those
those
are
my
those
were
my
questions,
so
I
do
support
the
recommendation
from
the
planning
commission.
A
C
Certainly,
I
moved
to
direct
staff
to
bring
back
the
ordinance
as
drafted
for
final
action
at
a
future
meeting.
J
M
A
We'll
move
on
to
study
item
c
mr
miyake.
V
The
the
next
item
mayor
council
member,
is,
is
initiating
a
transportation
element
policy
amendment
and
repeal
the
comprehensive
transportation
project
list
from
the
comprehensive
plan
as
part
of
the
2021
annual
comprehensive
plan
amendment
work
plan.
So
this
evening
staff
are
seeking
council
consideration
to
incorporate
a
number
of
proposed
city-initiated
transportation
amendments
in
the
21
count
plan
amendment
were
planned
and
just
by
a
way
background,
the
council
approved
the
assault
contract
to
prepare
specific
transportation
element
policy.
V
Amendments
for
the
21
compliment
member
work
program
joining
us
this
evening
are
emil
king
tara,
johnson,
as
well
as
kevin
mcdonald.
To
provide
you
some
presentation
and
again
we
we
are
looking
for
direction
on
this.
So
I'll
turn
over
to
emil.
AB
Thank
you
for
the
introduction
city
manager
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
members
of
council,
I'd
like
to
briefly
provide
a
few
opening
remarks
to
set
the
stage
for
our
remaining
remaining
time
together.
Tonight,
staff
are
here
tonight
for
two
agenda
items
relating
to
the
2021
annual
comprehensive
plan
amendment
work
program,
the
one
before
you
right
now
and
another
next
on
the
agenda
consistent
with
the
provisions
in
the
state
growth
management
act.
Bellevue
has
an
annual
plan
amendment
process.
AB
AB
AB
Those
acted
on
by
the
council
in
the
affirmative
then
move
on
to
the
final
review
as
you'll
hear
tonight.
The
bellevue
comprehensive
plan
is
an
important
document
that
sets
forth
the
vision
and
policy
direction
for
the
city
relating
to
a
number
of
important
things,
including
how
land
is
used
and
how
we
move
around,
among
others.
So
with
that
opening
I'd
like
to
now
turn
things
over
to
kevin
mcdonald
for
the
presentation.
AC
Thank
you,
emil
and
good
everyone
good
evening,
everyone.
I,
I
have
a
very
short
slide
presentation
to
describe
the
the
request
for
council
to
initiate
two
components
of
of
transportation
policy,
one
related
to
multimodal
concurrency
and
one
related
to
a
comprehensive
transportation
project
list
that
is
in
the
comprehensive
plan.
AC
So
first
the
topic
of
multimodal
concurrency.
As
you
know,
and
as
as
council
member
robertson
has
been
involved,
the
transportation
commission
is
is
currently
preparing
a
recommendation
to
move
the
city
away
from
a
vehicle-centered
approach
to
transportation,
concurrency
and
migrating
towards
a
multi-modal
approach.
AC
AC
Consequently,
the
the
result
of
that
work
will
be
recommendations
to
change
comprehensive
plan
policy
away
from
the
the
vehicle
approach
that
is
currently
embedded
there
into
a
multi-modal
approach.
The
the
policy
work
has
not
yet
been
started
by
the
commission.
The
commission
has
has
been
working
on
foundational
issues
related
to
the
the
components
of
of
a
multimodal
approach
to
concurrency.
AC
The
second
topic
is
with
regard
to
the
comprehensive
transportation
project
list
in
in
2015,
with
the
major
update
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
The
city
council
created
the
the
comprehensive
transportation
project
list
on
the
recommendation
of
the
transportation
commission,
but
the
reason
for
building
a
comprehensive
transportation
project
list
in
the
first
place
was
that
transportation
projects
of
all
types
were
scattered
in
so
many
different
places
in
the
comprehensive
plan
and
there
were
781
different
projects
in
the
comprehensive
plan
in
many
different
locations.
AC
Many
were
in
inconsistent
with
one
another
because
they
they
lived
in
different
places
and
they
spoke
to
the
same
geography,
but
they
didn't
describe
the
same
project
and
some
were
superseded
by
more
recent
planning
efforts.
So
the
work
of
the
commission
and
on
approval
of
the
council,
the
comprehensive
transportation
project
list
was
created.
AC
This
is
the
inventory
of
transportation
projects
that
the
city
would
pick
from
to
inform
the
transportation
facilities
plan
and
eventually
the
the
capital
investment
program,
but
the
city,
the
city
staff,
the
transportation
staff
is
recommending
that
the
comprehensive
transportation
project
must
be
repealed
from
the
comprehensive
plan
and
instead,
the
inventory
of
transportation
projects
would
be
in
the
transportation
improvement
program.
The
tip
the
tip
is
also
recommended
by
the
transportation
commission.
It
is
done
in
an
annual
basis
with
in
compliance
with
state
law,
and
it
really
is
effectively
the
inventory
of
transportation
projects.
AC
A
T
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
say
I
I
100
support
this,
having
been
engaged
on
the
transportation
commission
when
we
were
working
on
the
multimodal
concurrency
and
also
that
very
painful
effort
of
consolidating
into
that
comprehensive
transportation
project
list.
So
I'm
really
glad
that
we're
doing
that
cleanup
putting
it
all
in
the
tip
and
having
that
multimodal.
T
E
Thank
you,
yeah.
The
commission's
really
been
focusing
on
this
for
a
while
now,
and
I
know
they
have
a
full
a
lot
of
work
ahead
of
them.
E
It's
really
important
that
we
get
this
done
this
year,
because
if
we
don't,
then
we're
going
to
have
have
difficulty
potentially
issuing
building
permits
in
the
years
ahead,
because
we'll
run
out
of
concurrency,
so
updating
the
good
currency
making
sure
that
our
our
transportation
plans
are
accurate
and
updated
is
really
really
important
to
the
continued
success
of
bellevue,
and
I
just
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
staff
who
have
been
working
tirelessly
on
this.
E
We,
we
still
have
a
ways
to
go,
but
they
have
put
so
much
effort
and
thought
into
how
this
is
coming
along.
I
just
really
wanted
to
appreciate
on
the
record
how
much
I
appreciate
their
work.
A
Thank
you,
okay.
So
do
we
have
a
council
member
lee.
D
Well
my
hand
raised,
I
wasn't
noticed
anyway,
I
will
have
a
staff
question
for
staff.
Is
it
the
same
as
what
the
commission
have
been
working
with
you
on?
You
know,
during
the
last
year
of
my
liaison
at
the
commission,
we're
looking
at
a
master
plan.
Is
this
something
of
that
master
plan,
the
evolvement
from
that
or
version
of
it.
AC
Councilman
really,
the
the
the
short
answer
is
yes,
the
the
the
multimodal
concurrency
policies
and
the
work
that
the
commission's
currently
doing.
That's
embedded
in
what
we're
calling
the
mobility
implementation
plan,
which
is
essentially
a
transportation
master
plan,
a
couple
small
differences.
Typically,
a
jurisdiction
will
develop
a
transportation
master
plan
when
they
don't
have
other
modal
plans
that
help
guide
their
work.
The
belty
has
been
fortunate
over
the
years
to
have
had
modal
plans.
AC
We
call
the
the
transit
master
plan
that
we
referred
to
in
the
last
study
session
item
the
pedestrian
bicycle
transportation
plan
which
we've
had
since
1999
those
modal
plants
will
be
folded
into
the
mobility
implementation
plan.
We
don't
have
to
create
them
from
scratch,
but
we
will
look
for
opportunities
to
refresh
them
in
this
mobility
implementation
plan,
update
in
in
your
in
your
time,
as
liaison
with
the
commission,
the
the
commission
initiated
a
lot
of
this
work,
including
recommendations
that
that
resulted
in
comprehensive
plan
amendments
that
the
council
has
approved.
D
So
in
the
short
answer
it
is
because,
as
we
talked
about
you
know,
the
council
actually
all
supported
that
in
the
master
plan,
because
there's
so
many
different
modal
plans
and
every
plan,
it's
all
very
separate
and
not
related,
and
so
you
know
this
is
a.
This
is
a
method,
a
way
of
getting
a
comprehensive
plan.
So
we
have
it,
you
know
kind
of
together
working.
So
that's
that's
good.
D
If
that
is
the
case,
I
think,
if
I
recall,
I
think
the
your
director
and
your
staff
mentioned
that
this
is
a
much
easier
way
faster
way
to
get
it
done,
because
the
massive
plan
would
take
a
lot
longer
time,
a
lot
more
resources.
So
I
compliment
you
of
getting
this
done.
A
Thank
you
so
not
seeing
any
other
questions
or
comments
deputy
mayor,
do
you
have
a
motion?
Certainly.
A
A
Okay,
we've
got
one
more
item
under
other
ordinances
resolutions:
emotions,
mr
miyake,
would
you
like
to
introduce
this.
V
Okay,
hey
emil,
I'm
just
going
to
tee
this
up
real
quick,
so
man
cuts
members
on
this
evening,
staff
is
seeking
council
consideration
of
the
planning
commission's
recommendations
on
whether
two
privately
initiated
cpas
should
be
added
to
the
21
annual
cpa
plan
and
just
by
way
background.
These
proposed
privately
initiated
cpas
were
introduced
to
council
in
february
of
this
year.
V
Joining
us
this
evening
again
is
emile
king
assistant,
director
of
israel's
tara,
johnson,
comprehensive
planning
manager,
both
of
community
development
and
radical
mu,
gov
carr,
our
chair
of
our
planning
commission.
To
present
these
recommendations
to
you
emile.
AB
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki,
I'm
gonna
hit,
go
ahead
and
just
hand
things
off
to
tara
johnson,
our
comprehensive
planning
manager
to
get
rolling
with
the
presentation,
so
tara.
Please.
AD
Thank
you
emil
good
evening,
mia
robinson,
deputy
mayor
new
in-house
council
members
and
members
of
the
public,
we're
here
this
evening
to
provide
the
council,
with
an
overview
of
the
threshold
review,
recommendations
from
the
planning
commission
as
part
of
the
2021
annual
amendment
process,
as
staff
already
provided
an
overview
as
part
of
your
last
agenda
item
providing
an
a
holistic
overview
of
the
threshold
review
and
final
review
process
for
both
city
initiated
amendments
versus
privately
initiated
amendments.
AD
Continuing
on
from
that
from
that
process
we
have
with
us
this
evening,
we've
had
held
a
public
hearing
with
a
planning
commission
and
presenting
alongside
staff.
Is
the
planning
commission
chair,
radhika
mulgavkar,
who
is
going
to
be
providing
an
overview
of
the
planning
commission's
rationale
and
deliberations
on
the
two
privately
initiated
amendments.
AD
So
our
ask
of
counsel
tonight
is
for
council
to
take
a
look
and
and
consider
the
planning
commission
recommendations
on
the
two
privately
initiated
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
applications
that
have
gone
through
the
majority
of
the
threshold
review
process
and
then
also
determine
which
of
those
proposals.
If
any
should
move
forward
onto
the
final
review
process,
which
would
also
include
all
the
city
initiated
amendments
which
include
the
transportation
related
amendments.
You
just
talked
about.
AD
So
as
part
of
our
agenda
this
evening,
we
are
first
going
to
provide
an
overview
of
the
two
applications.
Then
we'll
have
our
planning
commission
chair,
provide
the
council
with
an
overview
of
the
planning,
commission's
deliberations
and
rationale
behind
their
recommendations.
AD
We'll
also
provide
an
opportunity
for
council
to
ask
staff
questions
and,
following
that
they'll
be
action
on
the
2021
annual
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
work
program.
AD
I
know
this
is
probably
very
familiar
to
several
council
members.
This
is
a
threshold
review
criteria
and
we
go
over
this
every
year
as
part
of
our
annual
cpa
work
program
I
did
want
to
highlight.
There
are
eight
threshold
review
criteria
and
each
of
the
privately
initiated
amendments
have
to
have
to
meet
all
eight
criteria
for
them
to
advance
through
the
threshold
review
process
and
then
move
forward
to
the
final
review
process.
AD
Of
specific
note,
I
wanted
to
highlight
I'm
not
going
to
read
through
each
of
the
criteria,
as
I'm
sure
council
is
fairly
familiar
with
them.
At
this
point,
I
did
want
to
point
city
council
to
criteria
c,
which
was
one
of
the
criteria
that
the
planning
commission
spent
a
great
deal
of
time
evaluating
on
both
applications.
AD
Is
to
provide
context
the
two
pro
privately
initiated
applications
that
were
submitted
sometime
last
year.
The
deadline
was
the
15th
of
september
in
2020,
and
we
we
received
two
applications.
As
we've
indicated,
one
application
is
called
15
like
bellevue
and,
of
course,
is
located
off
of
lake
bellevue
and
is
approximately
a
two
acre
site.
AD
AD
For
illustrative
purposes,
staff
put
together
this
image
for
council's
review
this.
This
slide
illustrates
the
location
of
the
two
privately
initiated
cpas
in
the
context
of
the
sub-area
on
the
various
sub
areas.
So
the
15
lake
bellevue
site
is
located
within
both
the
bell
red
sub
area,
which
is
this
area
highlighted
in
pink.
It's
also
located
within
the
wilburton
study
area
boundary
or
the
commercial
wilburton
caac
boundary,
and
then
the
dash
glendale
site
is
located
just
outside
the
wilburton
study
area
boundary,
but
is
located
within
the
wilburton
northeast
aid,
sub-area.
AD
In
terms
of
the
public
process
and
opportunity
for
public
participation
during
this
initial
application
process,
as
well
as
the
threshold
review
process
we
pursue
into
our
code,
we
went
through
the
typical
noticing
procedures,
the
notice
of
application
notice
of
public
hearing,
and
the
public
hearing,
of
course,
was
held
with
a
planning
commission,
and
we
through
that
process
we
received
three
three
sets
of
public
comments
relating
to
a
15
lake
bellevue.
We
had
one
person
speak
the
applicant
speak
in
support
at
the
threshold
review
public
hearing
related
to
the
dash
glendale
application.
AD
We
had
a
total
of
seven
applications
submitted
right
up
to
the
threshold
review
hearing
date.
I
believe
there
were
a
couple
more
letters
that
came
in
today
to
city
council.
We
also
had
a
total
of
five
of
five
different
participants
that
testified
at
the
hearing.
AD
With
that,
I'm
going
to
pause
and
pass
things
along
to
pass
things
over
to
our
planning
commission
chair,
radical
gafkar
who's
going
to
walk
the
council
through
on
the
planning
commission's
recommendations
on
both
the
privately
initiated
applications.
Y
Very
much
so
the
planning
commission
recommended
by
a
four
to
one
with
one
abstention,
so
a

the

for

in

on

because
the

did
not
meet
all

criteria

of
a

Y
Y
The
planning
commission
believed
that
the
proposed
amendment
raised
policy
issues
that
would
be
better
addressed
through
an
ongoing
work
program
because
the
site
is
located
when
the
bill
within
the
bell
red
sub-area,
whose
zoning
was
adopted
in
2009
and
was
subsequently
included
in
the
wilberton
commercial
area.

examined
areas
north
and
south
of
northeast
8th

adjacent
to
the
wilburton

light
rail
station.
So
this
is
part
of
decision
criteria
c.
Y
Additionally,
the
application
cannot
be
reasonably
reviewed
within
the
resources
and
the
time
frame
of
the
current
annual
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
work
program
since
understanding
the
redevelopment
capacity
of
this
site
and
potential
impacts
cannot
be
done
in
isolation
from
the
rest
of
the
lake
bellevue
area
and
the
larger
wilburton
sub
area.
Y
The
proposed
amendment
is
inconsistent
with
the
general
comprehensive
plan
policy,
comprehensive
plan
policies
because
changing
the
development
intensity
on
the
single
site
in
isolation
from
its
contents
context
within
the
brgc
lake
bellevue
designated
sites
within
the
bell
red
sub
area's
tiered
node-based
land-use
density
patterns
and
without
deference
to
the
identified
environmental
impacts
in
the
wilburton
land.
You
study
does
not
allow
a
staff
conclusion
that
the
application
would
meet
the
goal
of
the
land
use
element
and
bell
red
sub-area
plan
policy
direction.
Y
This
is
in
criteria
g,
so
then,
moving
on
to
the
dash
proposal.
This
was
a
tough
one
for
the
planning
commission.
But
the
planning
commission
recommended
by
a
3-2
vote
that
the
proposed
amendment
for
from
multi-family
medium
mfm
to
the
neighborhood
mixed
use,
nmu
on
two
plant
parcels,
totaling
7.5
acres
in
the
wilburton
northeast
8th
street
sub
area-
that
the
amendment
not
be
included
in
the
2020
work
program,
and
this
was
not
what
staff
had
recommended
the
commission
when
against
staff's
recommendation.
Y
The
commission
determined
that
the
proposed
amendment
raised
policy
or
land
use
issues
that
are
more
appropriately
addressed
by
an
ongoing
work
program
approved
by
the
city
council,
since
the
site
became
part
of
the
wilberton
study
area
based
on
the
council
direction
in
2018
and
should
therefore
be
evaluated
as
part
of
the
wilberton
implementation
effort.
This
goes
to
decision
criteria
c.
Y
Staff's
evaluation
of
the
amendment
specific
to
this
criteria
is
that
the
proposal
meets
the
threshold
of
not
raising
policies,
issues.
That
would
be
better
addressed
through
an
ongoing
work
program.
The
site
was
originally
not
part
of
the
wilberton
study
area
and
the
cac
recommendations.
However,
city
council
provided
direction
that
the
site
be
included
within
the
wilberton
study
area.
Also,
dash
has
indicated
previously
that
the
building
age
and
refining
cons
refinancing
considerations
play
an
increasingly
deadline-driven
role
in
their
needing
to
make
a
decision
about
their
project.
Y
Future.
The
city
council
in
2018
recognized
the
unique
opportunity
represented
by
the
combination
of
the
site's
proximity
to
the
broader
wilberton
study
area,
proximity
to
transit,
walk
sheds
and
other
infrastructure
and
a
willing
property
owner
whose
ownership
mission
is
to
provide
workforce
housing
on
property.
It
owns
the
cac
also
heard
from
staff
that
the
proposal
could
add
to
the
affordable
housing
supply
identified
in
the
wilberton
draft
environmental
impact
statement.
AD
Thank
you,
chairman
gavkar,
just
to
highlight
the
location
of
the
15
lake
bellevue
application.
It's
located
just
west
of
120th
avenue,
northeast
north
of
northeast
8th,
of
course,
just
off
of
lake
bellevue,
and
so
this
is
the
site,
and
this
is
the
aerial
image
of
the
property
which
constitutes
about
2.8
acres.
AD
As
chaimal
gafkar
has
gone
through
a
fair
amount
of
detail
relating
to
the
threshold
review
criteria
and
the
planning
commission's
deliberations,
I'm
just
gonna
briefly
go
over
the
subject
request,
which
is
land
use,
designation
change
from
belgrade,
general
commercial
to
belright
office
residential.
AD
The
next
proposal
is,
of
course,
the
dash
glendale
application
located
just
east
of
124th,
just
south
of
bel
red.
It's
about
seven
and
a
half
acres,
as
we've
said
previously,
constituting
these
two
parcels
and
the
application
applicant
is
requesting
a
land
use,
designation
change
from
multi-family
medium
to
neighborhood,
mixed
use.
AD
And
so,
finally,
to
conclude,
our
presentation:
we're
at
we're
asking
for
council
action
on
the
planning
commission's
recommendations
on
the
two
privately
initiated,
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
proposals
and
for
council
to
determine
which
proposals,
if
any,
should
move
forward
onto
final
review
as
part
of
our
2021
annual
work
program.
A
Thank
you,
tara,
chairman
goffkar.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
being
here
tonight
and
for
your
service
to
the
city.
While
on
the
planning,
commission
really
appreciate
it
and
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
let
council
member
barksdale
go
first,
since
he
is
liaison
and
then
we'll
go
deputy
mayor
council,
member
stokes
robertson's
only
and
then
myself
so
starting
with
council
member
barksdale.
U
Awesome
thank
you
mayor
and
thanks
to
the
commission
for
wrestling
with
this
topic.
I
remember
that
night
and
the
love
of
discussion
that
was
happening
and
also
thanks
to
staff
for
their
diligence
and
supporting
the
commission
on
this
work.
So
for
the
dash
property,
given
that
it
was
not
originally
part
of
the
wilbertson
commercial
area
and
also
given
that
it's
the
timing
constraints,
I
know
that
at
the
time
it
was
added
to
the
wilberton.
U
You
know
there
were
anticipated
benefits
that
I
think
at
this
point
maybe
haven't
had
to
have
it
played
out
just
given
the
timing
of
wilburton
and
the
need
for
affordable
housing
and
the
financial
constraints
on
the
property.
So
I
would
support
the
staff's
recommendation
in
this
case
to
proceed
to
advance
the
dash
property
through
to
final
review
for
15
lake
bellevue.
U
Unlike
dash,
as
we
heard,
it's
always
been
in
the
wilberton
commercial
area,
given
the
implications
on
geographic
scope
and
the
not
just
in
in
terms
of
staff
time,
but
also
just
given
the
deep
or
the
broad
analysis
that
fib
would
require
having
to
incorporate
the
10
properties.
C
C
I
would
also
be
in
favor
of
moving
that
the
final
review
I
think
staff
was,
and-
and
this
is
no
nothing
on
the
on
the
planning-
commission-
always
appreciate
their
their
their
hard
work
and
their
diligence,
and
I
can
understand
how
this
was
a
difficult
conversation
and
the
vote
probably
reflects
that.
But
you
know
when
I
look
at
500,
affordable
units
that
can
be
created
here
as
well.
C
That
is,
you
know,
that's
something
we
have
to
take
a
serious
look
at
given
where
we
are-
and
I
can
understand
the
the
consistency
and
and
and
the
planning
and
how
that
relates
to
wilburton.
But
I
just
feel
like
now
is
the
time
that
we
need
to
move
projects
like
this
forward,
and
I
also
would
be
in
favor
and
move
that
final
review.
So
thank
you.
A
Z
Yeah,
I
agree
with
the
former
the
farmer,
the
prior
to
speakers
on
dash.
I
mean
that
that's
I
think
we
should
go
forward
on
that,
and
I
mean
that
was
close.
I
mean
just
three
votes
from
the
commission
is
not
enough
to
really
take
a
hard
look
at
it.
In
a
sense.
I
appreciate
the
work
they
did
on
it,
but
I
think
this
is
one
that
we
can't
handle
and
should
go
move
forward
on
it's
consistent
with
our
affordable
housing
strategies,
and
I'm
happy
with
that.
Z
I
think
that's
fine.
I
I
have
some
concerns
about
the
other,
the
lake
15
lake
bellevue
site.
I
understand
I
mean
this
is
the
problem
with
our
system
on
you
know,
abcdefg
and
most
of
those
you
can
kind
of
make
out
of
them
what
you
kind
of
want
to
in
a
sense,
and
I
I'm
not
sure
what
one
means
on
what
the
concern
is
on
the,
whereas
reasonably
reviewed
within
resources.
Z
AB
Thank
you
for
the
question.
The
intent
is
that
we
wrap
up
the
current
work
that
the
stafford
is
doing
on
east
main
grand
connection
and
move
our
staff
resources
to
go,
do
wilberton
and
they
would
not
need
to
wait
three
years
to
be
part
of
any
analysis.
The
staff
believe
the
the
most
efficient
thoughtful
way
to
review
the
lake
bellevue
is
to
have
it
as
part
of
the
wolverton
process
that
we're
currently
working
with
the
city,
manager's
office
and
other
departments
to
ready
that
for
actual
work
on
it.
Z
Okay,
well,
I
I
agree
with
that.
I
think
that's
yeah
what
I
thought
the
answer
was,
but
I
want
to
hear
that
so
in
a
sense,
what
you're
saying
is
that
if
you,
if
we
go
this
route,
don't
go
the
you
know
the
the
private
part
that
we
probably
are
going
to
be
addressing
this
around
the
same
time
and
it's
a
staff
issue
to
some
extent
it's
a
comprehensive
getting
it
connected
with
everything
else
is
another
issue
on
that.
Z
I
I
just
think
that,
looking
at
it
it's
an
opportunity
that
we
should
not
pass
up
on
that
development.
I
mean
that
I,
I
think
the
the
things
they
have
addressed
on
this
or
are
valid.
I
think
that
area
needs
to
be
worked
on
and
I
think
there's
a
difference
between
this
property
and
the
other
properties
which
are
basically
people's
homes.
Z
Z
Ecological
and
affordable
housing
opportunities,
as
well
as
a
much
better
property
and
much
better
look
overall
for
the
area
and
right
now
it's
it's
it's
gotten
kind
of
junky
and
this
is
an
opportunity
to
move
forward.
So
I
just
don't
want
us
to
get
bogged
down
on
this
and
pass
up
an
opportunity.
Z
Z
So
if
you're,
basically,
so,
if
you're
assuring
me
that
they're
assuring
us
that
this
is
really
not
an
issue
of
putting
it
off
it's
an
issue
where
it
really
belongs
and
making
it
and
working
with
it
on
this
and
moving
forward,
and
that
way
the
staff
can
work
better
than
being
off
on
a
separate
project.
E
Thank
you,
councilmember
stokes
makes
some
really
good
points
I'll
get
to
the
first
easy
one.
First,
the
dash.
You
know
we
were
ready
to
initiate
it
or
the
planning
commission
was
a
few
years
ago.
They
decided
to
wait.
Wolverton
still
hasn't
come
forward.
I
absolutely
support
bringing
that
forward.
I
do
believe
it
checks
all
the
boxes
for
threshold
review
and
do
support
granting
threshold
review
and
allowing
the
planning
commission
to
study
it.
E
The
15
lake
bellevue
it's
hard
for
me
because
there's
been
several
times
as
I've
been
a
policymaker
in
bellevue
that
I've
said
something
should
be
better
addressed
elsewhere.
E
Right
now
we
initiated
wilburton,
I
think
in
16
or
17.
The
the
cac
came
out
almost
three
years
ago
and
we
still
haven't
even
sent
it
to
the
planning,
commission
and
council
member
stokes.
As
I
was
listening
to
you
speak,
I
pulled
up
the
cac
report
for
wilberton
and
I
was
really
surprised
to
see
in
the
preferred
alternative.
There
are
no
changes
recommended
for
the
lake
bellevue
area,
so
you're
worried
about
it.
Staying
stagnant
either
due
through
lack
of
planning
initiatives
or
just
for
lack
of
granting.
That,
I
think,
is
a
real
concern.
E
I
do
I
would
vote
if
they're,
my
colleagues
there's
enough
of
you.
That
would
go
that
way
to
initiate
the
15
lake
bellevue
one.
I
think
people
had
in
wilburton
have
waited
long
enough.
If
I
had
one
coming
forward
in
bellred,
I
would
vote
to
initiate
that
too,
because
the
look
back
was
supposed
to
happen
in
2014
and
it
hasn't
happened
yet
so
people
can
only
wait
so
long
light
rail
is
opening.
E
E
T
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
I
echo
my
my
colleagues
about
dash
be
to
me.
That
is
absolutely
needs
to
move
forward.
You
know
we
in
2018
thought
that
it
would
be
able
to
be
looked
at
as
part
of
wilberton,
but
we've
come
to
realize
that
we've
got
a
lot
of
priorities
and
that
just
didn't
happen
and
then,
as
I've
thought
about
15
lake
bellevue.
T
T
So
if
we
were
to
look
at
a
change
there,
how
it
might
trickle
and
impact
the
other
properties
that
are
zoned
brgc,
can
you
explain
that
part
to
me,
because
I'm
not
really
quite
clear
about
that
part.
So
how
would
we
address
that
aspect
if
we
did
move
it
forward
for
threshold
review
now.
AD
Kel,
thank
you
for
that
question.
Council
members
on
the
applicant
had
initially
requested
through
geographic
scoping,
that
energies
and
property
be
included,
and
the
planning
commission's
recommendation
was
not
to
grant
your
graphic
scoping
because
it
would
result
in
essentially
about
nine
to
ten
parcels
all
being
included
as
part
of
that
request,
which
essentially
would
be
really
should
really
be
evaluated
as
part
of
a
sub
area
planning
process
through
the
final
review
process.
AD
Should
council
determine
that
the
15
lake
bellevue
application
be
advanced
to
final
review
staff
would
evaluate
the
application
against
all
the
criteria.
AD
We'd
have
to
take
a
look
at
the
environmental
impacts,
which
are
something
that
we've
already
flagged
as
being
significant
in
that
area,
something
that
would
need
significant
additional
environmental
impact
analysis
which
the
eis
for
my
understanding
is.
The
eis
for
wilberton
did
not
has
not
addressed
as
yet
emil
anything
that
you
would
like
to
add.
AD
Staff's
initial
analysis,
evaluation
of
the
threshold
review
criteria,
one
of
which
is,
do
we
have
adequate
resources
to
evaluate
it,
was
that
it
did
not.
We
do
not
have
adequate
resources
to
evaluate
it
just
on
its
own,
because
it's
something
that
would
have
significant
impacts
that
should
be
part
of
the
larger
bulberton
area,
sub-area
planning
process.
T
A
Really
good
questions
councilmember
lee.
D
Thanks
to
chair
commission,
chair
wugaba,
for
you
know
coming
to
us
and
making
great
presentations
you
know
personally,
I
feel
that
the
dash
project-
this
is
my
personal.
You
know
sentiment-
is
a
good
project
and
for
all
the
reasons
that
you
know
some
of
you
have
expressed,
you
know
it's
encouraging
more
housing
and
so
on,
and
ideally
you
know
it
should
be
done
within
the
same
world
and
land
use
work.
You
know.
Unfortunately,
you
know
it
has
not
moving.
D
We
are
waging
while
opportunity
is
coming
and
going
so
you
know
we
would
like
to
have
a
comprehensive
look
and
to
make
things
all
work
together,
but
it's
not
happening
so.
From
that
perspective
I
would
I
would
support
going
ahead.
You
know
with
with
with
the
dash
project
to
include,
as
you
know,
recom
does
not
recommend
us
to
move
forward
to
be
included.
You
know
in
the
in
the
process
cpa
process.
D
As
far
as
the
late
value
priority
is
concerned,
the
same
thing.
I
wish
the
record
velvet
broadway
plan.
It
should
be
going
doing
something
to
include
the
overall
comprehensive
look
at
it
and
also,
I
know,
like
bellevue,
has
certain
environmental
problems.
You
know
environmental
concerns
on
its
own,
so
you
require
a
little
bit
more
work
than
maybe.
D
If,
if
I
don't
know,
I
don't
know
what
the
emu
thinks
about
it
and
I
think
maybe
that's
one
of
the
reason
they
would
need
to
be
a
little
more
extensively
looked
at,
and
so
besides
that,
but
I
can't
really
you
know
I
don't
for
the
late
120
project.
You
know,
I
don't
have
the
clear
answer
and
information
to
understand
that,
but
I
see
there's
a
three
two
one
vote,
so
it's
really
close.
D
You
know
it
could
be
a
time.
So
I
really
like
to
you
know.
If
if
we
move
forward,
you
know
whatever
we
do.
I
would
like
to
know
what
are
the
reasons
why
the
conversation
between
the
com,
commissioners,
you
know
why,
so
why
does
three
support?
Why
are
the
true
objects,
and
why
is
one
exp
abstention?
D
I
would
like
to
do
that
so
moving
forward.
I
would
like
to
know
that
so,
and
I
would
also
life
of
that
my
own
pd
feeling
at
this
moment
I
would
not
will
agree
with
the
commission.
I
would
not
include
this
as
the
cpa,
so
I
would
go
go
along
with
that
inputting,
but
not
big
value,
but
I
would
really
like
to
understand
especially
big
belt.
What
are
the
rational
reasons
so
that
when
we
come
back
again
or
whenever
you
know,
I
have
a
better
information
to
make
my
decision.
A
A
A
I
feel
like
the
development
that
has
happened.
There
could
be
improved
upon
and
in
environmentally
as
well,
but
it's
such
an
environmentally
sensitive
little
kettle
lake.
I
think
that's
going
to
take
some
special
work
and
I
don't
think
that
moving
it
through
this
process
is
the
way
to
get
there,
but
I
do
look
forward
to
reimagining
what
the
area
around
lake
bellevue
and
that
hospital
station
can
look
like
or
the
wilberton
station.
So
I'm
excited
for
the
future.
A
Of
that
conversation,
it
seems
like
there
is
somewhat
well
there's
a
majority
of
people
that
support
advancing
the
glendale
dash
project
applications
so
but
not
the
lake
bellevue.
So
is
there
a
motion?
Please.
C
L
A
Opposed
okay,
all
right,
I
think
we
are
done
and
council
members
we
are
going
to
rejoin
here.
It
is
9
40
I'll,
give
us
a
five
minute
break.
Let's
get
back
together
at
9
45!
Please
go
to
your
calendars
to
find
the
link
so
that
you
can
rejoin
us
for
a
closed
session.
Okay,
council
meeting.
