A
A
A
Thank
you
additionally,
since
the
mayor
is
now
joining
us
virtually
and
the
deputy
mayor
has
an
excused
absence
for
this
evening.
The
council
needs
to
appoint
a
temporary
presiding
officer
for
tonight's
meeting
to
have
a
motion
to
appoint
a
temporary
presiding.
B
B
A
D
C
A
A
All
right,
we
have
two
proclamations
tonight.
First,
is
a
approximation
on
behalf
of
National
week
of
action
for
missing
and
murdered
indigenous
women
and
girls,
a
proclamation,
a
council
member.
D
It
can
you
hear
me:
okay,
yeah,
whereas
the
city
of
Bellevue
acknowledges
that
Bellevue
and
surrounding
areas
exist
on
the
ancestral
homelands
of
the
Coast
Salish
people,
including
the
duwamish,
who
are
the
original
caretakers
of
this
land
and
are
still
here,
fostering
their
rich
and
vibrant
culture
and
continuing
to
honor
their
Heritage.
And
whereas
three
out
of
four
native
women
will
be
physically
assaulted
in
their
lifetime.
The
second
leading
cause
of
death
for
indigenous
girls
ages,
one
to
four,
is
murder.
D
Complex
legal
Frameworks,
Under,
reporting
of
assaults
and
lack
of
clarity
on
jurisdictional
responsibilities
have
exasperated
exacerbated
barriers
and
hindered
efforts
to
locate
those
who
are
missing
and
whereas
Bellevue
commits
to
continuing
to
nurture
relationships
and
support
our
local
tribal
governments
and
the
community's
efforts
to
increase
awareness
while
pursuing
and
supporting
Equitable
outcomes
for
tribes
and
communities
of
color.
As
we
honor
the
experiences
and
wisdom
of
our
diverse
population.
D
Now,
therefore,
Eileen
Robinson,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
Washington
and
on
behalf
of
its
city
council,
do
hereby
Proclaim
May
1st
through
7th
2023
as
National
week
of
action
for
missing
and
murdered
indigenous
women
and
girls
in
Bellevue.
Recognizing
the
unique
and
disproportionate
rates
of
violence
against
this
population
and
calling
on
our
community
to
say
enough
is
enough
by
participating
and
virtual
events
exploring
available
resources
or
organizing
awareness
activities
in
your
community.
Thank
you.
A
G
On
behalf
of
the
duami's
tribe,
I
want
to
commend
all
of
you
for
this
wonderful
statement.
That's
being
said
today
and
on
behalf
of
the
dwamish,
the
people
of
the
inside
the
indigenous
people
of
Seattle
and
the
people
of
Chief
Seattle
I
am
really
grateful
to
be
here
to
share
with
you
and
I.
Thank
you
all
for
this
performation,
given
by
all
of
you,
and
you
were
truly
blessed
by
the
Creator
amen.
E
A
A
H
You
I'll
be
pleased
to
read
the
following:
I
know
it's
a
hot
thing
for
all
of
us:
it
kind
of
with
mixed
feelings,
but
my
Brandon
has
been
with
us
for
a
long
time.
So
he
deserves
everything,
we're
going
to
say
about
him,
whereas
Mike
Brennan
has
provided
indispensable
service
to
the
city
of
Bellevue
for
36
years.
H
That's
a
few
years
longer
than
I
have
been
here
on
the
city
council,
including
15
years
as
director
of
the
developmental
services
department
and
whereas,
after
earning
a
bachelor's
degree
in
construction
management
from
Washington
State
University,
he
started
his
career
in
Chilean.
County
joined
the
city
of
Bellevue
in
1987
as
a
building
plan,
reviewer,
eventually
becoming
the
building
official
and
whereas
Mike
led
development
service.
H
When
there
was
a
division
of
planning
and
Community
Development
before
being
named
director
of
the
development
service
department,
when
it
was
created
in
2008
and
whereas
over
his
decision
and
all
over
his
Decades
of
service
Mike,
oversaw
efforts
to
improve
delivery
of
development
services
to
customers,
he
worked
to
establish
a
call.
They
needed
line
of
business.
Guided
the
development
services.
Improvement
initiative
led
the
Departments
through
building
booms.
H
He
has
also
supported
mentored
and
inspired
hundreds
of
colleagues
and
whereas
Mike
will
be
missed
for
his
Sage
Council,
honest
and
principled
approach
to
leadership
in
addition
to
his
friendly
afternoon.
Walkabouts
now,
therefore
I
on
behalf
of
Lynne
Robinson
mayor
and
on
behalf
of
the
Belleville
city
council.
Do
this
24th
day
of
April
in
the
year
of
2023,
hereby
commence
Mike
Brennan
for
his
commitment
to
leadership
and
quality
service
to
the
Bellevue
Community.
H
That
will
be
remembered
by
the
many
he
worked
with
over
his
decade
of
service
will
miss
him
a
lot
and,
as
you
know,
is
during
the
period
of
the
greatest
growth
in
the
city
of
Bellevue.
He
is
able
to
manage
such
growth
under
such
a
wonderful
period.
So
if
Mike
would
come,
maybe
you
would
say
a
couple
words,
and
perhaps
we
can
take
a
picture
with
you
afterwards.
I
That's
normally
I
think
you're.
J
I
B
I'll
go
ahead
and
start
so,
as
Conrad
said
it's
it's
hard
to
say
goodbye.
It's
there's
certain
staff
members
who
so
epitomize
the
Excellence
of
service
in
the
city
of
Bellevue
that
when
they
go
to
their
greatly
deserved
retirement
and
next
part
of
life,
it
is
really
hard
it's
hard
on
the
organization
and
it's
hard
on
the
people
who
have
worked
with
them
and
trust
them
and
rely
on
them.
So
much
and
Mike.
You
were
absolutely
one
of
those
people
where
you've
just
been
such
a
stalwart
leader
for
this
city.
B
I
was
just
marking
some
things
down,
I
mean
and,
and
it
wasn't
in
the
proclamation,
but
you've
also
been
a
deputy
city
manager
twice,
and
your
leadership
on
the
leadership
team
I
know,
Brad
will
probably
touch
on.
This
has
been
so
critical
to
keeping
this
city
moving
productively
in
the
right
direction
and
effectively
the
the
just
the
things
I
was
thinking
about
you.
B
As
you
know,
professional
helpful,
great
can-do
attitude,
kind,
unflappable,
great
leader,
smart,
knowledgeable,
always
willing
to
just
put
public
service
at
the
Forefront
of
what
you
do
responsive
when
I
call
you
I
you,
you
figured.
If
you
don't
know
the
answer,
you
don't
know
who
you
figured
out
and
put
me
in
touch
with
the
right
people
and
you've
made
this
organization
stronger
and
you've
made
it
a
pleasure
to
serve
with
you
as
one
of
the
directors
and
Deputy
city
managers
and
I'm,
going
to
really
miss.
B
You
and
I
really
hope
that
you
have
just
such
a
fun
and
well-deserved
retirement.
I
know
you're
going
to
keep
doing
stuff
because
you're
a
smart
can-do
thinking
guy
but
and
we're
gonna
it
is.
We
won't
be
able
to
replace
you.
Hopefully
we
can
fill
the
position
if
we
do
half
as
good
as
you
I
think
we'll
be
we'll
be
doing
pretty
well,
but
yeah.
Just
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
for
from
the
council
and
for
the
whole,
all
the
residents,
the
city
of
Bellevue,
you've
made
our
city
better.
M
Yes,
thank
you
well,
Mike,
I
I
was
kind
of
hoping
that
you
might
change
your
mind
and
decided
to
to
stay
with
us
a
while
longer,
but
I
I
can
imagine
that,
after
36
years
of
faithfully
serving
our
community
in
this
work,
that
it
was
time
for
some
much
deserved
break
and
in
retirement,
I
was
thinking
about
just
the
lasting
impact
and
Legacy
you're
going
to
have
in
this
city
as
well
as
throughout
the
region,
and
that
is
you,
your
kids
and
grandkids
and
great-grandkids
drive
through
Bellevue
you'll,
be
able
to
pick
out
all
of
the
legacy
of
projects
and
and
things
that
you
worked
on
and
and
maybe
just
that
you'll
be
able
to
point
out
those
little
things
that
most
people
don't
notice
that
as
head
of
first
the
building
official
and
then
head
of
development
services,
you
know
where
those
interesting
little
quirks
are
that
you'll
be
able
to
share
with
your
family.
M
M
That's
what
you
exemplify
every
single
day
and
I
think
the
city
has
benefited
from
your
high
level
of
Integrity
as
you
do.
Your
work
and
I
know
that
your
staff
have
now
seen
and
be
under
your
toolage,
and
you
lead
by
example.
So
I
have
every
belief
that
the
department
continues
to
be
in
good
hands,
as
the
new
person
comes
on,
because
they've
been
under
your
tutelage
over
the
years
and
you'll
definitely
be
missed.
M
I
know
that
you
make
it
look
easy,
and
yet
we
know
it's
not
as
a
fellow
construction
manager,
you
and
I
have
had.
You
know
many
chats,
sometimes
along
the
way
or
going
on
a
ride
to
a
meeting
and
I.
Think
about
the
fact
that,
just
because
you
make
it
look,
easy
doesn't
mean
it's
easy
and
so
and
enjoy
your
much
deserved.
Retirement
and
I
believe
that
the
essence
of
your
leadership
will
be
felt
in
Bellevue
and
in
the
department
for
many
years
to
come.
So
thank
you.
Mike.
H
Yes,
I
read
the
pop
finish
officially,
but,
as
you
know,
Mike
I
have
a
lot
of
personal.
You
know
meeting
with
you
and
because
I've
been
here
for
30
years,
so
I
have
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
do
that,
and
also
we've
come
through
Up
and
Dance
economic.
You
know,
recession,
we've
been
going
through
fast
growth
and
these
things
are
unpredictable
and
you
know
it's.
H
It's
really
difficult
for
the
city
like
ourselves
and
the
city
government
is
not
limbo,
it's
not
very
flexible
and
we
we
are
more
than
better
than
most,
but
you
have
made
it
really
well
easy,
and
you
have
responded.
We've
come
through
fast
growing
times.
You
have
been
able
to
get
the
staff
limited
term
employee.
It's
all
out
of
your.
You
know,
flexibility
to
make
sure
all
those
things
happen
at
the
same
time,
you're
always
talking
about
customers.
H
That
means
the
public
customers,
individuals
who
want
to
make
changes
on
their
home
building
and
all
that
stuff
modification
and
business
Commercial
Business
they
come
here.
They
want
to
expect
your
turn
around.
Otherwise,
they're
not
going
to
be
able
to
make
economically
is
not
visible,
and
you
have
responded.
You've
never
says
no
and
you've
made
sure
that
whatever
we've
done,
it's
not
sloppy,
we
do
it
the
right
way.
Do
it
the
best
way
it
is
and
all
the
buildings
you
did,
all
the
construction
we
have
or
the
permitting
or
the
quality
control.
H
It's
done
very
well
and
during
all
this
tough
time
so-
and
you
have
also
set
a
good
example.
Like
most
people,
said
the
people
who
are
following
you,
the
people
in
your
staff
right
now,
I
don't
want
to
name
the
names,
but
we
can
know
they
are
here
and
they
can
continue
because
of
us
had
a
good
model
good
example
for
them.
So
we
want
to
thank
you
for
doing
all
those
things
so
have
a
great
retirement.
A
Thank
you,
okay.
Thank
you,
I'd
like
to
have
mayor
Robinson,
thank.
D
You
for
comments.
Thank
you.
You
know.
Mike
I
wrote
to
an
email
today
kind
of
expressing
how
much
I've
appreciated
working
with
you
over
these
years
and
you've
really
been
a
partner
and
a
resource
and
just
a
trusted
staff.
Member
but
I'll,
tell
you
the
thing
I'm
most
impressed
about
was
that
you
somehow
had
the
appreciate
knowledge
to
put
our
permitting
online
pre-covered
and
because
you
were
able
to
do
that
had
our
best
permitting
here
during
2020
and
2021.
D
E
N
All
right
so
I
probably
had
the
least
amount
of
time.
N
You
but
I
I
will
say
what
I,
in
addition
to
what
everyone
else
has
said,
I
really
have
appreciated
working
with
you,
anytime
I've
had
questions
on.
You
know
some
of
the
issues
that
have
come
before
I
mean
you've
had
not
just
knowledge
and
skill
about
the
issue
like
deep
knowledge,
but
I've
always
appreciated
just
how
you've
been
very
open
minded.
N
So
whenever
there's
a
question
or
a
different
idea,
trying
to
find
a
way
to
navigate
that
in
a
way,
that's
you
know
welcoming
and
inclusive
right
and
so
I've
always
appreciated
how
approachable
and
engaging
and
knowledgeable
you've
been
on
the
issues
when
engaging
with
USA.
Thank.
A
You
yeah
thank
you,
councilmember
Barksdale
I
was
going
to
say
something
at
the
last
and
then
leave
it
for
the
mayor,
but
I
just
want
to
say
so
much
has
been
said
here
and
it's
all
very
accurate
is
when
I
first
came
on
and
even
working
through
is
always
could
go
and
talk
to
Mike
and
I.
Think
what
everybody
said
here.
A
We
all
have
that
same
experience,
which
is
also
a
really
commendable
approach
and
attitude
you
have
is
to
you
talk
with
all
of
us
and
you
work
with
all
of
us
and
that's
really
appreciated.
A
All
I
wanted
to
say
was
that
you
truly
were
and
are
an
innovator
and
a
dedicated,
positive
civil
servant
and
a
great
all-around
guy
and
all
said
by
what
everybody
else
has
said.
We're
going
to
miss
you
terribly
so
come
visit
with
us,
sometimes
okay
and
tell
us
what
we're
doing
and
not
no
seriously.
It's
just
been
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
you
and
we
hope
to
see
you
so
we'd
like
to
come
up.
I
Bring
Mike
up
for
the
picture,
so
you
know
much
has
been
said
here
by
the
council
and
I
wanted
to
stay
out
more
on
a
personal
note
that
you
know
Mike,
you
really
understand
the
value
of
meaningful
relationship
and,
as
a
result,
you're
so
deeply
respected,
not
just
internally,
but
also
outside
this
organization.
You're
well
known,
you're,
well
known
for
your.
I
You
know,
as
a
person
of
deep
integrity
and
high
ethical
standards,
you're
the
consummate
professional
that
we
all
want
to
be
as
a
public
servant
and
you're
a
shining
example
of
one
that
provides
exceptional
public
service
to
the
community
and.
I
Team,
you
know
you
live
the
one
city
philosophy,
as
your
success
is
my
success
and
we
all
really
appreciate
that
your
strategic
thinking
skills
has
helped
us
Advance.
Many
of
these
tough
issues
through
the
leadership
team
and
you'll
have
also
been
a
key
voice
in
getting
many
of
the
big
initiatives
and
complicated
issues
through
internally
in
the
city
over
the
goal
line,
and
we
really
appreciate
that.
I
So
you
truly
leave
this
city
in
a
better
place
than
when
you
got
here,
and
you
have
been
a
great
colleague
and
a
friend
to
me,
especially
during
my
tenor
as
the
city
manager,
but
before
that
we
have
many
years
that
we've
served
the
city
together
and
I
deeply,
always
appreciate
your
friendship
and
your
counsel,
and
so
on
behalf
of
the
entire
leadership
team
Mike.
We
will
miss
you,
but
we
wish
you
all
the
best
during
your
retirement.
J
Time
so
it's
a
little
surreal
to
be
sitting
here
tonight
without
a
PowerPoint
and
expecting
difficult
questions
or
having
a
meeting
first
thing
tomorrow
to
figure
out
what
the
council
wanted
us
to
do.
Last
night,
I
think
I
got
that
it's
thank
you
and
good
luck
and
I
really
appreciate
the
kind
words
that
that's
very
moving
and
you're
making
making
me
blush.
J
It
was
amazing
to
be
a
part
of
this
city
as
it
evolved
to
where
it
is
now
between
1987
when
I
started,
and
you
look
around
the
city
and
how
it's
changed
in
so
many
amazing
ways
is
absolutely
incredible,
and
it's
been
really
amazing
to
be
a
part
of
that,
but
really
for
me,
the
the
part
that
was
most
rewarding
and
what
kept
me
here
for
36
years
was
the
people
I
got
to
work
with
just
absolutely
amazing,
but
before
I
go
there.
J
Real,
quick
I
just
want
to
recognize
that
my
my
family's
in
the
room
too
tonight
my
wife
and
daughters,
Shawna
and
Morgan
and
son-in-law
David.
So
thank
you
for
all
theirs,
all
your
support
and
patience
over
the
years.
This
is
a
demanding
job.
J
It
keeps
you
away
from
home
so,
but
that
was
they
were
there
for
me
all
the
time,
but
the
people
here
are
at
that
work
here
and
are
live
in
this
community
are
absolutely
remarkable
people
first,
thank
you
to
the
council
for
your
support
and
your
trust
that
made
doing
my
job
so
much
easier
and
delivering
what
you
wanted
in
the
policy
direction
that
you
provided.
J
J
Is
that
engagement
and
very
capable
people
I
want
to
you
know,
really
recognize
a
special
place
in
my
heart
for
the
development
services
staff
formerly
and
currently
just
it's
challenging
work
development
services
is,
is
change,
that's
a
managing
change
in
the
city,
and
that
is
challenging
work
and
they
did
it
with
integrity,
and
they
did
it
with
dedication
and
they
put
in
many
many
hours
to
keep
Pace
with
all
the
change.
I
also
want
to
recognize
the
leadership
team
and
the
team
in
the
city
manager's
office.
J
It's
been
a
privilege
to
work
with
such
amazing
and
capable
leaders,
I
learned
so
much
from
them
and
together
the
things
that
that
they
that
we
were
able
to
accomplish
is
just
really
remarkable.
That
together
makes
a
big
difference
and
really
a
special
thanks
to
Brad
for
your
trust
and
giving
me
the
opportunities,
it's
it's
nice
to
have
a
boss,
who's,
also
a
friend
and
that's
what
made
working
here
even
more
enjoyable.
So
it
is.
J
It's
been
a
remarkable
Journey,
but
it
is
time
for
me
to
to
move
on
to
to
new
adventures
that
I
absolutely
look
forward
to
spending
more
time
with
my
family
and
finding
out
what
else
is
out
there
that
creates
passion
and
excitement.
So
that's
where
I'm
going
next,
but
again,
thank
you
for
an
amazing
journey
here
and
for
all
your
wonderful
comments
tonight.
Thank
you
very
much.

C
Only
three
speakers
will
be
allowed
to
speak
to
any
one
side
of
a
particular
topic
if
in
cases
such
as
tonight,
where
there
appear
to
be
more
than
30
minutes
total
of
speakers,
the
chair
is
allowed
to
give
preference
to
those
speaking
to
items
on
the
agenda
or
to
come
on
the
agenda
within
the
next
month
or
who
have
not
spoken
to
council
within
the
last
quarter.
C
Additionally,
I
need
to
remind
everyone
that,
in
compliance
with
Washington
state
public
disclosure
laws
regarding
the
use
of
public
facilities,
no
election
related
topics
may
be
discussed
during
oral
Communications
or
other
public
participation.
Portions
of
the
agenda
this
evening,
that
includes
a
discussion
of
ballot
measures,
endorsement
of
candidates
or
political
parties
and
speaking
on
behalf
of
a
campaign,
including
your
own,
any
speaker
does
begin
discussing.
C
Topics
of
this
nature
will
be
given
a
verbal
warning,
as
this
is
considered
a
disruption
to
this
meeting
and
may
be
asked
to
be
removed
from
this
meeting
with
that,
I'll
call
our
first
Speaker
this
evening,
who
has
signed
up,
who
is
Barbara
Braun,
who
I
believe
is
joining
us
virtually
Miss
Braun.
Can
you
hear
me.
O
Thank
you
very
much
good
evening.
Council
leaders
I'm
commenting
tonight
on
the
various
plans
that
are
under
development
in
the
city,
including
the
comp
plan.
All
the
housing
plans,
including
the
Luca
for
affordable
housing,
Will
Burton,
the
tree
codes,
Etc
I
support
the
planning
and
policy
developments
that
are
underway,
but
I
do
not
believe
we
have
efficient
inclusion
and
focus
on
the
content
needed
to
ensure
we
achieve
our
sustainable
Bellevue
goals
for
dramatically
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
from
buildings
and
transportation.
O
O
We
can
start
today
by
requiring
all
these
plans
and
policies
explicitly
outline
how
Greece
greenhouse
gas
emissions
will
be
reduced
by
50
by
2030
in
our
buildings
and
transportation,
while
maintaining
our
quality
of
life
in
Bellevue.
For
example,
all
these
plans
should
require
all
commercial
and
residential
buildings
and
I.E
new
builds
new
builds,
affordable
housing,
redevelopments
remodels
comply
with
our
sustainable
Bellevue
vision
and
goals.
For
example,
all
structures
should
be
built
or
redeveloped
to
lead.
Platinum
building
standards
be
all-electric,
be
required
to
meet
high
efficiency.
O
Performance
standards
include
EV
charging
stations
of
appropriate
Waste
Management
like
composting
and
recycling
Etc
with
more
electrification.
Requirements
need
to
be
included
that
help
modulate
peak
electricity
loads,
such
as
variable
rates
schedules
and
demand
response
for
affordable
housing.
We
should
adopt
Green
Building
policies
and
perhaps
provide
subsidies
and
incentives
to
ensure
these
building
standards
can
be
achieved.
O
Commercial
buildings,
including
the
new
Aquatic
Center,
should
include
heat
island
mitigations
such
as
green
roofs
on
buildings
and
parking
structures.
It
is
urgent
to
maintain
our
cooling
tree
canopy
by
getting
better
tree
ordinances
in
place
ASAP
and
by
requiring
all
plans
to
comply
in
arrears
if
necessary,
to
new
tree
standards
from
2023
on.
The
comprehensive
plan
should
include
all
of
the
above
policies
for
all
new,
all
Redevelopment
and
all
remodels
of
existing
properties
and
all
affordable
housing.
O
The
city
further
needs
to
create
a
land
use,
designation
for
parks
and
open
space
and
eliminate
the
residential
zoning
designation
that
exists
for
that
today,
as
is,
it
appears
all
Parklands
forests
and
Open
Spaces
are
available
for
residential
development
to
achieve
our
desired
future.
We
must
make
this
cultural
shift,
please,
let's
not
let
this
period
of
planning
and
intention
setting
go
without
reflecting
that
shift.
Thank
you.
So
much.
C
P
Good
evening,
council
members
I
just
wanted
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
micro
housing
item
that
is
on
the
study
session
agenda
and
draw
your
attention
to
one
detail
there.
I
know.
The
assumption
is
that
the
micro
housing
residents
will
be
parking
in
mixed-use
areas
and
not
impact
other
residents
and
I.
Think
for
most
case,
that's
true.
I
did
want
to
draw
your
attention
to
one
Edge
case
where
there's
a
parcel
in
rpz-9.
That's
zoned
office
space
currently
and
could
actually
have
both
micro
apartments
and
be
eligible
for
the
rpz
I.
P
Don't
want
to
hold
up
progress
on
the
micro
departments.
I
do
hope
that
goes
through
very
smoothly,
but
I
did
want
to
request
that
you'll
consider
revising
the
RPC
program
to
reflect
the
increasing
density.
We
expect
in
our
neighborhoods
I've
previously
lived
in
an
a
very
dense
area
of
Seattle,
where
the
RPC
program
did
not
stop
it
from
being.
You
know
very,
very
difficult
to
find
parking
just
because
there
were
so
many
more
people
who
are
eligible
for
rpz
permits
than
there
was
viable,
curb
space
and
I.
P
I'm,
not
an
RPC
resident
myself,
but
I
do
walk
back
and
forth
through
some
RPGs
every
day,
so
I
hope,
you'll,
consider
this,
and
even
if
I'm,
not
personally
affected
by
the
parking,
I
hope
you'll
take
steps
to
update
that
program
to
reflect
the
additional
demands.
Thank
you.
Q
Hello,
this
is
about
the
piece
of
property,
that's
near
the
Newcastle
Golf
Course.
Just
by
the
way
my
name
is
Dana.
Kendrick
I
grew
up
just
two
miles
away
from
this
property.
The
former
owner
Milt
Swanson,
was
born
in
Newcastle
and
worked
in
the
nearby
coal
mines.
He
loved
to
share
stories
of
local
coal
mining
history
and
even
had
a
mine
cart
outside
of
his
house.
Q
That
I,
like
to
look
at
whenever
we
drove
by
the
property,
certainly
has
historical
value,
but,
more
importantly,
the
property
serves
as
a
major
connection
between
two
large
Urban
green
spaces.
I
have
seen
pedestrians,
deer
and
even
Bears
cross
the
street
between
Cougar
Mountain
Park
and
Coal
Creek
Park
right
where
the
development
is
slated
to
be
today.
Environmental
issues
are
more
important
than
ever
as
a
representative
for
a
younger
generation.
I
can
tell
you
firsthand
that
we've
become
rather
cynical
about
the
state
of
the
world
that
we
are
inheriting.
Q
We've
lost
faith
that
governments
will
do
what
is
right
rather
than
what
is
easy.
Please
prove
us
wrong.
It
would
make
more
sense
to
save
the
space
and
add
it
to
the
park
system
so
that
future
Generations
can
enjoy
the
natural
beauty
of
our
area.
I
hope
that
the
city
of
Bellevue
will
make
an
offer
to
purchase
this
land
thanks.
Thank
you.
C
R
I
think
thank
you,
cork
Jill
counselor
here
concerned
friend
of
Bellevue
a
few
thoughts
number
in
number.
One
I
wasn't
able
to
thank
you
the
evening
of
the
autism
Proclamation,
but
I
do
want
to
appreciate
you
for
that
that
gesture
of
support
to
the
autism
Community
infaster
syndrome,
by
the
way,
so
it
was
very
much
appreciated.
The
Bellevue
city
council
would
make
time
in
space
to
recognize
autism
awareness
love.
R
The
second
thing
is
that
if
I
may,
I
want
to
add
my
voice
to
those
objecting
to
Alex
Zimmerman's
continued
mistreatment
of
you,
it
is
absolutely
reprehensible
and
I
can
assure
you
that
he
will
be
facing
Justice
this
Thursday
at
the
public
disclosure
commission
at
1,
15
PM
in
part
because
of
the
way
he's
treated
you
I
want
you
to
know
that
know
that
you've
got
a
friend
in
me,
especially
considering
the
King
County
council,
member
and
I
also
want
to
assure
you
that
I
will
keep
up
the
good
fight
to
make
sure
that
the
king,
that
excellent
Transit
tries
to
hurry
up.
R
Getting
you
guys,
Light
Rail
I
would
be
nice
if
you
got
it
by
Christmas
of
this
year.
Maybe
a
certain
nutsy
pig
named
Alexander
can
be
used
to
speed
it
up.
So
thanks
for
all
you
do
and
be
safe
out
there.
Thank
you.
S
So
my
family
and
I
are
residents
of
Bellevue
and
we
have
been
deeply
dismayed
by
the
indiscriminate
filling
of
trees.
The
city
codes
that
allow
the
destruction
of
trees
must
be
reconsidered,
especially
in
about
the
old
grow
trees
back
in
99
Bellevue
had
a
single
high-rise
and
was
a
green
Oasis.
There
were
more
trees
than
buildings
and
cars.
This
is
no
longer
true.
Old
growth.
Trees
are
an
essential
part
of
our
ecosystem.
S
Apart
from
providing
oxygen
that
keeps
Us
Alive,
there
are
essential
habitats
for
animals,
insects
and
birds
filter
the
air
we
breathe
and
play
a
critical
role
in
reducing
carbon
dioxide
in
our
atmosphere.
They
hold
the
soil
together
preventing
erosion
and
provide
shade.
Yet,
despite
their
importance,
we
allow
the
destruction
of
these
magnificent
life
forms
for
the
sake
of
cash.
Aka
development
cutting
down
even
one
large
tree
affects
the
mycorrhizal
network.
S
This
is
the
underground
network
of
tree
roots
that
facilitates
the
transfer
of
water
nutrients,
nitrogen
carbon
and
minerals,
as
well
as
defense
compounds
taking
down
one
tree
in
the
network,
profoundly
impacts,
others
by
weakening
the
collective
defenses
leaving
them
prone
to
disease,
such
as
root
rot.
We
cannot
continue
to
prioritize
development
over
the
environment
and
the
health
of
our
communities.
It
is
time
for
us
to
take
a
stand
and
protect
the
old
group
trees
in
our
city.
S
We
must
acknowledge
that
we
are
damaging
the
future
by
a
current
action
and
in
this
case
inaction
let
us
change
the
current
laws
regarding
the
cutting
down
of
trees,
especially
old
groceries.
We
must
work
together
to
find
solutions
that
protect
our
environment
and
sustain
our
communities
in
a
rational,
banner
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration.
T
However,
when
we
applied
for
the
tentative
permit,
we
were
given
a
bill
of
a
hundred
and
twenty
seven
thousand
dollars
for
traffic
impact
fees,
which
is
exorbitant
for
a
small
business,
because
my
whole
budget
was
around
200
000
to
do
the
build
out-
and
this
is
adding
a
lot
of
stress
and
pressure
on
me.
My
ask
is
very
simple:
that
the
city
council
and
the
mayor
look
at
this
and
build
the
landlord
the
developer
of
the
property
rather
than
myself,
because
I'm
just
a
tenant.
That
might
not
be
there
for
that
long.
T
T
22-119044
and
I
would
like
you
to
try
to
help
me
out
because
I'm
being
punished
for
something
that
is
beyond
my
control,
it
should
have
been
posed
to
the
developer
versus
the
tenant
and
I.
Ask
you
to
reconsider
how
you
can
charge
the
the
landlord
for
this
thing.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
Appreciate
that
and,
as
I
said,
I'm
a
small
business
and
I
would
appreciate
if
you
could
help
me
out
on
this
one.
Thank
you
good
evening.
D
A
D
A
I
And
thank.
U
Good
evening,
councilman
and
mayor
and
manager
monarchy
pleasure
to
be
here,
and
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
U
I
also
feel
that
that
the
housing
situation
that
you
are
addressing
and
land
use
issues
need
to
be
addressed.
We
have
families
and
workers
School
teachers
who
cannot
afford
to
live
in
this
this
community.
So
we
have
to
find
a
way
to
to
do
that.
I
personally,
over
the
years
of
volunteers,
are
many
specific
Civic
projects
through
the
70s
and
80s
I
worked
on
the
sub-area
plans
that
developed
and
developed
our
downtown
park.
U
U
However,
allowing
development
without
requiring
parking
and
addressing
parking
is
to
me
an
incredibly
short-sighted
activity
coming
out
of
covet
the
greater
need
for
housing.
We
find
wonderful
office,
Towers
developed,
but
not
readily
convertible,
to
to
housing
in
part
of
that
is
that
we
did
not
require
developers
to
put
in
parking
as
you
permit
to
and
three-story
walk-up
density.
We
need
to
recognize
aging
and
persons
with
disabilities
required
some
portion
of
ground
level
accommodations
and
we're
not
all
walking
to
Eastlink.
We
must
retain
some
moderate
level
of
on-site
parking
and
setbacks.
U
Further
high
density
paid
parking,
the
CBD
encourages
spillover
to
the
residential
neighborhoods,
and
the
residential
parking
permit
system
is
neither
well
understood
nor
enforced
should
be
paid
for
those
who
created
it.
The
merchants
and
developers
so
just
an
overview
set
of
comments
and
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
F
Good
evening
my
name
is
BJ:
molay
I've
lived
in
the
same
residence
for
45
years,
which
was
King
County
now
Bellevue
for
the
last
10
years.
There's
a
situation
that
exists
on
Southeast
44th
way.
Now
the
road
comes
off,
Newport,
Way,
164th
Avenue
then
makes
a
kink
164th
way
and
then
makes
a
complete
180
on
44th
Way
Southeast.
There's
a
house
up
there.
F
That
apparently
was
rented
at
some
point,
probably
more
than
a
month
ago,
where
we've
had
camper
trailers
parked
on
the
side
of
the
road
cars
cars
on
the
property
that
are
in
various
stages
of
disarray.
F
F
What
worries
me
is
that
there's
been
numerous
contacts
with
or
with
the
compliance
they're,
probably
getting
more
than
five
a
day
as
far
as
the
complaints
go,
there's
numerous
violations,
yet
it
seems
that
somehow
or
other
the
city
has
incorporated
into
its
ordinances
procedural
steps
that
are
almost
impossible
to
comply
with
and
I,
don't
understand
a
safety
Factor
like
this.
This
trailer
is
on
a
hill
on
the
road.
The
bicyclists
come
up
the
hill.
F
Well,
obviously,
that
got
to
do
30
miles
an
hour,
because
you
can't
pile
that
fast,
so
they've
got
to
go
out
and
around
this
this
trailer
and
I
just
I,
don't
understand
what
the
what
the
hang
up
is,
what
can
be
done
about
it,
but
it's
over
a
month
now,
I
know
that
the
owner
of
the
property
has
been
contacted
and
I
guess,
like
Pontius
Pilate
he's
washed
his
hands
of
the
situation.
F
I
I
don't
understand.
What's
the
problem
with
Bellevue,
not
enforcing
the
no
parking
at
least
I
know
for
for
a
fact
that
trailers
or
campers
are
real
value
so
that
these
towing
companies
don't
want
to
tow
them
the?
How
can
we
get
rid
of
this
plight
with
the
or
the
code
and
compliance
and
with
the
no
parking?
L
What'd
you
say
thank
you,
council,
member
Stokes.
I
did
want
to
just
address
that
the
city
has
received
many
comments
and
from
from
The
Neighbors
in
the
area
we've
received.
Those
both
Code,
Compliance
and
police
are
very
active
in
this
situation,
and
Code
Compliance
is
doing
their
best
to
expedite
the
hearing
process.
So
they
have
been
in
contact
with
the
owner
and
they're
doing
doing
everything
they
can
to
to
advance
the
situation
and
address
it.
F
A
V
Excellent
well,
thank
you
very
much.
Council
members
are
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
Clifford
cauthon
I
am
the
advocacy
and
policy
manager
for
Habitat
for
Humanity
is
Seattle
Cuban
kids
counties
and
we've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
the
street.
The
strategy
team
for
the
affordable
housing
plan
implementation,
as
well
as
to
participate
and
work
with
planning
staff
on
the
on
the
comprehensive
plan,
periodic
update
and
really,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
applaud
their
work.
V
It
is
been
really
encouraging
and
watching
all
of
the
work
and
all
of
them
and
for
them
to
navigate
the
community's
feedback
on
this
and
something
that
I've
heard
time
and
time
again.
Those
meetings
is,
we
need
more
affordable
housing
that,
in
the
city
of
Bellevue,
that
you're
experiencing
a
massive
amount
of
growth,
I
actually
teach
part-time
at
Bellevue,
College,
Bellevue,
College
and
I
talk
to
students
all
the
time
who
grew
up
in
Bellevue,
but
I
asked
my
students.
V
Do
they
think
they'll
be
able
to
afford
to
live
in
Bellevue
long
term,
and
there
are
a
number
of
people
who
shake
their
heads
so
adding
additional
density
of
looking
at
opportunities
to
be
able
to
leverage
that
density
to
build
affordable
housing,
either
through
inclusionary
zoning
fee
and
loose
system?
All
of
those
things
that
are
currently
being
explored
in
the
Eis
right
now,
as
well
as
as
a
part
of
the
conversation
around
the
comprehensive
plan.
V
Our
step
forward
and
I
would
ask
you
to
support
this
process
and
to
support
affordability
tools
that
will
allow
us
to
be
able
to
leverage
that
value
to
build
more
affordable
housing.
So
Bellevue
can
be
the
inclusive
place
it
Endeavors
to
be.
So.
Thank
you
very
much
look
forward
to
working
with
you
moving
forward.
W
Hello,
council
members,
thanks
for
time
to
talk,
I'm,
going
to
update
you
briefly
on
Safeco
Creek,
which
you've
heard
me
talk
about
before.
So
thanks
for
this
additional
time
today
was
the
fourth
day
and
the
last
day
of
the
hearings
on
Save
coal
Creek's
appeal
of
the
city's
determination
that
an
Eis
is
not
required
for
the
Isola
proposed
development
on
South
Lakemont
Boulevard.
W
So
what
that
means
is
the
city
report
believes
that
there
are
mitigations
that
will
address
any
environmental
consequences
of
the
development
and
our
appeal,
the
meaning
of
our
appeal,
is
that
we
don't
agree.
We
think
there
will
be
serious
environmental
consequences.
That's
that
will
still.
That
will
still
remain
if
this,
if
this
development
is,
is
built.
W
So
after
four
days
of
hearings,
we
know
that
the
hearing
examiner
will
issue
a
determination,
possibly
in
mid-june
or
soon
after
that.
So
the
reason
we've
appealed
is
because
there
are
serious
things
that
will
happen.
There's
going
to
be
a
new
storm
water
discharge.
W
This
this
development
will
interrupt
an
existing
Wildlife
Corridor
between
two
nature
parks.
It
will
degrade
the
peace
and
quiet
of
the
Coal
Creek
Trail,
and
it
will
pave
over
the
little
bit
of
coal
mining
history
that
we
have
left
there
in
in
South
Bellevue
and,
as
we've
been
waiting
for
this
process
and
this
hearing
to
take
place.
We've
been
working
to
raise
awareness
of
this
project
amongst
the
public.
We've
been
really
successful.
We
have
we're
on
King
5
News.
W
A
week
ago,
Seattle
Times
article
and
just
yesterday
we
were
on
a
radio
news
show
and
as
a
result
of
our
raising
awareness,
we
have
more
than
5500
signatures
of
folks
from
Bellevue
and
surrounding
communities
on
our
petition.
It's
an
online
petition
that
opposes
the
development.
42
percent
of
those
signatures
are
Bellevue
residents,
58
are
from
surrounding
communities,
and
so
this
is
a
critical
time
for
our
effort
and
for
the
future
of
this
property
we
are
asked.
W
Is
that
U.S
city
council
members
really
consider
carefully
the
long-term
future
of
this
property
and
and
consider
that
it's
not
just
a
Bellevue
property.
It
really
does
affect
land
uses
around
it.
That's
why
we
have
so
many
signatures
in
our
from
our
neighboring
communities.
We
ask
that
you
work
with
King
County
to
find
the
funds
to
make
a
purchase
and
that
you
follow
the
really
excellent
example
of
Prior
city
leaders,
who
have
set
aside
parks
and
open
space.
W
X
Pig
from
Animal
Farm,
my
name
Alex
Zimmerman
first
I-
want
to
speak
about
something,
but
as
I
see
this
for
many
years
in
2012
I
bring
you
all
in
court
with
same
policy,
but
as
you
have
right
now,
you
don't
give
chance.
People
speak
after
10..
Only
see
only
Bellevue
houses,
I
speak
all
over
Tacoma
Seattle
area
doesn't
City
every
week
you
only
one
who
doing
this
you're.
X
X
That's
number
one
and
number
two.
What
they
say,
one
speak
right
now
is
very
important.
Absolutely
critical,
I
am
Patriot
of
Bellevue.
I
live
more
than
35
here
in
Bellevue,
I
love
this
city
and
I
will
be
dead
in
this
city
no
matter.
Where
is
this
a
point?
So
we
have
right
now
a
situation
that
is
don't
have
a
knowledge
in
American
history,
Bellevue
first
city
in
America.
When
white
people
are
minority
to
me,
this
look
like
a
pure
Holocaust.
You
know
what
this
means
you
I
know
what
is
mean
Holocaust.
X
What
is
three
generation
of
my
family
did
yeah
exactly
so
that's
exactly
what's
happened
right
now.
You
know
I'm
totally
confused.
Why
you're
doing
this
exactly
for
the
last
10
years,
so
many
people
come
from
Shanghai
or
Calcutta
in
another
city
who
come
from
country.
What
is
slave?
They
are
slave.
They
will
be
slave.
Even
you,
born
in
like
a
slave.
We
will
act.
Asleep.
Amazon
will
bring
another
30
000
slave.
You
understand
about
a
token,
is
a
pure.
He
not
said
in
Holocaust.
X
How
is
this
possible
more
intellectual,
rich
city
in
America,
in
white
people
right
now
in
Holocaust?
How
is
this
possible?
Why
you
doing
you
dirty
Nazi
Pig?
You
know
what
this
means
best.
People
in
America
is
America
about.
You
bring
people
American
people
boring
Grace
here
to
something
what
is
don't
have
a
knowledge
in
American
history.
So
I
speak
right
now
to
everybody
to
this
hundred.
X
C
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Next,
we
have
a
recommendation
for
an
appointment
to
the
Transportation
Commission
council.
Member
Zahn
has
a
recommendation
to
appoint
Mr
Drew
McGill.
M
Yes,
thank
you
councilmember
Stokes,
so
colleagues
I
am
happy
to
make
a
recommendation
for
Drew
McGill
to
be
added
to
the
Transportation.
Commission
I
believe
that
he
will
be
a
good
compliment
to
the
existing
members
of
the
Transportation
Commission.
He
comes
with
experience
in
Economic,
Development,
Finance,
business
engineering
and
Human
Services.
He
has
lived
experience
in
Europe
with
multimodal
transportation
systems
and
I
believe
that
he
his
skills,
will
be
a
good
complement
to
the
existing
members
on
the
Transportation,
Commission
and
Ice
urged
my
colleagues
to
vote
in
support
as
well.
Thank
you.
I
A
I
know
another
Council
of
business
and
new
initiatives.
At
this
point,
the
Nexus.
B
Sent
calendar
yeah
is
that
where
we
are.
B
Like
to
recuse
myself,
I,
don't
think
I
actually
have
a
conflict
of
interest
on
the
item
C
with
where,
where
the
city
is
accepting
6.8
million
from
the
King
County
flood
control,
Zone
District,
but
my
Law
Firm,
Inslee,
bastosier
and
Ryder
does
represent
the
King
County
flood
control
districts
and
so
in
an
abundance
of
caution
and
an
effort
to
avoid
even
the
appearance
of
impropriety.
I
am
recruiting
myself
from
the
consent.
Calendar
and
I
will
be
back
after
you
have
voted.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
Motion
has
been
made
and
seconded
to
approve
the
consent
calendar.
All
those
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
aye
opposed
motion
carries.
Thank
you
all
right.
The
move
to
item
10
study
session
items.
A
I
To
get
any
council
members,
as
you
mentioned,
this
is
our
first
study
session
out
of
four
this
evening
and
just
by
way
of
background,
the
council
directed
staff,
as
well
as
the
Planning
Commission,
to
work
on
this
school
Amendment
as
part
of
the
next
right
work,
affordable,
housing,
work
plan.
I
This
topic
was
last
before
the
council
in
October
of
2022
and
went
before
the
Planning
Commission
in
March
of
this
year
tonight,
representatives
from
the
Planning
Commission,
along
with
staff,
will
review
with
Council
of
the
recommended
code
amendments
and
following
the
presentation
staff
will
be
seeking
direction
from
the
council
department
for
final
adoption
at
a
future
meeting.
So
joining
us
at
the
table
this
evening
are
the
stead,
our
interim
director,
as
well
as
Matthew
Menard
senior
planner
development
service
department
and
also
from
the
Planning
Commission.
Y
Thank
you,
city
manager,
good
evening,
council,
members,
mayor
Robinson,
on
the
screen.
We
are
happy
to
be
here
tonight
to
continue
to
advance
the
next
right
work,
and
this
is
our
next
item
tonight-
is
around
the
micro
Apartments
Luca,
which
Council
direct
us
directed
us
to
move
forward
on
the
direction
that
we're
looking
for
tonight
from
Council
is
for
your
consideration
to
direct
staff
to
bring
the
Luca
ordinance
as
drafted
for
final
action
at
a
future
meeting
the
agenda
for
this
evening.
Y
We
will
be
going
through
the
background
and
bringing
you
back
up
to
speed
with
where
we
started
on
this
and
what
has
happened
in
the
interim.
We
will
be
then
talking
about
the
proposed
Luca
for
micro,
Apartments,
we'll
then
be
discussing
the
public
engagement
that
has
been
done
and
then
chair.
Melakushan
will
talk
about
the
priliting
commission
recommendation.
Sorry
not
chair,
commissioner
alecution,
and
we
will
then
go
through
the
Luca
process,
and
then
we
will
be
asking
for
your
direction
and
certainly
will
be
available
to
answer
questions
at
all
times.
K
Thanks
Liz,
as
Liz
noted,
we
will
start
with
the
background
on
the
project,
so
this
is
another
of
the
next
right
work
items
following
the
one
you
heard
last
week
with
the
far
ioc.
This
item
is
an
action
to
remove
barriers
to
the
construction
of
micro
Apartments
within
the
city
to
provide
more
housing
Choice
within
this
city.
This
is
a
housing
option.
K
That's
currently
allowed
within
the
city
under
the
land
use
code,
but
we
haven't
seen
developed
mainly
because
of
the
barriers
and
the
economics
of
micro
apartments
that
are
presented
by
the
land
use
code
and
the
the
market
of
small
housing
units.
It
is
consistent
with
the
affordable
housing
strategy
naming
strategy
B,
which
is
to
create
a
variety
of
housing
choices
within
the
city
and
specifically
micro
Apartments,
is
encouraged
under
action
B1,
so
the
proposed
Luca
will
again
Implement
that
action
of
the
affordable
housing
strategy.
K
The
overall
goal
of
the
project
is
to
remove
barriers
to
the
construction
of
micro
apartments,
and
we
have
done
significant
Outreach
to
identify
those
barriers
and
have
made
proposed
code
changes
to
eliminate
at
those
barriers
as
much
as
possible,
while
trying
to
find
a
balance
to
make
sure
we're
not
impacting
adjacent
neighborhoods
as
well.
We
are
trying
to
encourage
micro
apartments
in
specific
locations
of
the
city.
The
geographic
scope
was
something
that
you
directed
us
to
address
with
the
Planning
Commission
that
has
been
addressed
at
this
point.
K
I
will
cover
that
in
more
detail
a
little
bit
later
in
the
presentation,
and
we
are
also
responding
to
the
city's
housing
needs,
as
identified
in
the
2022
housing
needs
assessment,
which
identifies
the
needs
both
for
housing
within
the
50
to
80
Ami
range,
which
these
units
naturally
occur
at
as
well
as
a
mismatch
between
the
number
of
studio
and
one-bedroom
apartments
and
single
individuals
living
alone
within
the
city.
We
currently
have
more
single
in
the
individuals
in
the
city.
Then
we
have
one
bedroom
apartments.
K
So,
from
the
first
meeting
we
launched
this
on
October
10th
with
Council.
You
did
provide
us
some
direction
of
items
to
discuss
with
the
Planning
Commission
that
being
exploring
options
for
shared
kitchens
and
bathrooms.
We
did
bring
this
to
the
Planning
Commission
you'll
hear
this
called
congregate
style
housing
with
livability
concerns.
The
Planning
Commission
did
find
preference
for
requiring
that
a
kitchen
and
a
bathroom
be
included
in
each
unit.
So
that
is
what
we
have
brought
you
today.
K
So
these
units
would
be
considered
complete
dwelling
units
and
would
be
required
to
have
a
bathroom
in
a
kitchen
in
each
unit.
There
was
some
interest
in
establishing
a
minimum
unit
size
again
on
livability
concerns.
There
were
significant
discussions
with
this
with
the
Planning
Commission.
Currently,
the
building
code
would
set
a
minimum
unit
size
at
190
square
feet.
After
a
long
discussions,
the
Planning
Commission
we
did,
they
did
believe
that
was
sufficient
to
promote
livability
and
safety
as
well.
We
were
directed
to
understand
better
the
impacts
of
parking
specifically
to
the
adjacent
residential
neighborhoods.
K
We've
done
an
analysis
on
that.
We've
also
limited
the
scope
a
little
bit
through
the
Planning
Commission
process.
So
we
do
think
the
on-street
parking
impacts
will
be
minimal.
With
this
and
will
be
limited
to
the
mixed
use
areas
where
these
will
be
allowed
to
be
built
or
encouraged
to
be
built,
I
should
say
we
have
also
been
asked
to
incorporate
considerations
for
accessibility.
This
is
also
something
the
public
has
talked
to
us
about
throughout
the
process.
K
To
that
so
they'll
have
things
like
blocking
to
have
the
shower,
grab
bars
or
allowing
cabinet
doors
to
be
removed,
so
there's
some
more
Mobility
to
get
to
the
kitchen
sink
or
being
able
to
move
the
microwave
onto
the
counter
items
like
that
under
the
building
code,
there's
a
certain
percentage
of
units
that
also
have
to
be
type
A
Accessible
and
that
will
require
specific
door
widths
and
turning
radiuses
for
those
people
in
wheelchairs.
So
the
building
code
does
already
address
accessibility
through
this
process.
K
All
right,
we
were
asked
to
bring
the
geographic
scope
to
the
Planning
Commission.
Now
you
may
remember
that
we
had
proposed
or
recommended
at
launch
that
this
applied
to
all
micropar
apartment
units
within
all
mixed
use,
areas
of
the
city.
It
was
brought
up
by
Council
to
please
discuss
that
either
all
mixed
use
areas
or
within
areas
with
frequent
Transit
with
the
Planning
Commission.
K
We
have
done
that
and
they
have
made
a
recommendation
to
limit
the
geographic
scope
to
those
areas
within
Transit
access,
there'll
be
more
on
that
coming
up
as
well,
and
we
do
want
to
promote
affordability
with
all
the
next
right
work
items.
There
was
some
discussion
at
the
October
10th
council
meeting
on
how
we
could
get
the
affordability,
lower,
So
Below,
the
sort
of
natural
occurring
affordability
which,
with
these
units
based
on
the
data
we
have,
is
around
60
percent.
K
If
you
look
at
the
data
coming
out
of
Seattle
60
Ami
sort
of
the
average
rental
price,
how
we
could
drop
that
further
in
Seattle,
we
have
noted
that
many
of
these
units
have
been
sold
on
to
affordable
housing
providers
as
there
is
a
lower
subsidy
per
unit
required
to
bring
that
Ami
down.
So
that's
how
we're
really
seeing
affordability
through
this
process,
we
have
not
proposed
any
additional
affordability.
I
will
note
that
the
mfte
program
in
the
city
does
require
deeper
affordability
for
units
under
300
square
feet.
K
So,
as
part
of
the
code
update,
we
are
proposing
creating
a
definition
of
micro
Apartments
to
establish
a
maximum
size
for
these
units
that
would
be
to
differentiate
them
from
a
standard
studio
apartment
and
all
of
the
exceptions
from
the
code
requirements
would
apply
only
to
those
units
that
meet
the
definition
of
a
micro
apartment
so
that
maximum
size
limit
would
be
320
gross
square
feet
and
again
it
would
require
an
in
kitchen
or
in
unit
kitchen
and
bathroom,
and
you
can
see
on
the
graphic
there
a
potential
floor
plan
for
one
of
these
units
at
that
size.
K
K
The
pink
areas
on
the
map
are
within
a
half
mile
of
four
trips
per
hour
and
the
purple
areas
are
within
that
quarter
mile
boundary,
and
that
was
a
recommendation
that
was
made
by
the
Planning
Commission
I
do
want
to
note
that
there
were
two
planning
Commissioners
that
did
prefer
the
all
mixed
use
areas
option
with
a
geographic
School
to
the
meat
of
the
code
recommendations.
So
this
is
really
where
we
are
trying
to
remove
those
barriers
to
micro
Apartments.
K
We
did
do
significant
Outreach
to
developers
and
Architects
that
had
experience
in
the
region
with
these
units
and
the
real
takeaways
with
that
are.
We
need
flexibility
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
maximize
building
envelopes
to
get
as
many
units
onto
these
partials
as
as
possible,
or
these
projects
really
don't
pencil
out.
So
to
that
end,
we
proposed
some
amendments
to
try
to
lower
the
cost
of
these
construction
of
these
buildings,
to
encourage
more
of
them
to
be
built
in
this
city.
The
first
one
is
to
reduce
the
minimum
parking
requirement.
K
As
these
units
are
much
smaller,
you
can
fit
a
lot
more
units
within
a
the
same
building
Envelope
as
larger
units.
So
this
shouldn't
have
a
great
impact
on
the
form
of
the
neighborhoods.
As
the
form
standards
aren't
changing,
so
Building
height
setbacks,
all
of
those
type
of
items
would
not
change,
but
you'd
be
allowed
to
put
more
units
in
those
same
buildings.
K
We
heard
from
developers
and
Architects
that
you
really
needed
to
allow
more
units
to
have
these
these
projects
pencil
out
and
to
really
encourage
them
to
be
built
and
then
exempting
these
projects
from
the
multi-family
play
area
requirement.
These
units
are
almost
all
going
to
accommodate
single
individuals
through
our
Outreach.
We
didn't
hear
of
any
children
being
living
in
these
units,
so
there's
no
real
need
for
the
play
areas
for
children.
K
We
did
again
do
significant
public
engagement
with
this
with
all
Lucas.
We
do
follow
our
process
for
requirements
from
the
land
use
code.
We
did
direct
engagement
with
developers,
Architects
and
property
managers
to
really
get
into
the
leads
about
what
is
stopping
these
from
being
built
in
Bellevue
when
they
are
being
built
throughout
the
region,
which
is
where
we've
derived
our
recommendations.
From
we
held
a
information
session
with
the
community,
we
did
send
an
email
out
to
an
email
list
with
Bellevue
Essentials
graduates
that
contained
about
750
people.
Z
Thank
you
so
much
good
evening,
council
members,
mayor
Robinson
to
be
clear:
I'm,
not
a
chair
or
wiser
of
the
Planning
Commission
I
guess
I
was
the
only
one
available
to
come
and
present
this.
You
all
want
to
thank
a
staff
first
for
a
great
job
that
they
did
on
this
lookup
and
also
public.
They
came
to
board
or
a
study
session
and
public
hearing
and
provided
the
great
feedback
to
us.
Z
So
we
had
our
first
study
session
on
January
25,
in
that
we
discussed
with
the
staff
the
aspects
of
livability,
because
these
are
very
a
small
sized
Apartments.
We
talk
about
affordability.
Are
they
really
affordable
or
are
they
just
because
they
are
smaller?
They
are
cheaper
for
the
people.
We
also
talk
about.
How
can
we
encourage
these
micro
Apartments
to
happen
in
the
multi-family
projects
that
already
have
one
bedroom?
Two
bedroom
three
bedroom,
but
also
we
can
insert
some
some
of
these
micro
apartments
and
I
think.
Z
After
that
discussion,
we
recommended
that
the
staff
prepare
us
for
the
public
hearing
and
the
March
8th.
We
had
our
public
hearing,
we
ex
many
testimony
we
heard
of
written
and
public
Express
support
of
this
Luca,
removing
the
barriers
and
encouraged
micro
Apartments.
Z
We
heard
some
concern
about
accessibility
that
I
think
Matthew
addressed
that
we
also
heard
some
concerns
about
where
we
are
putting
this
micro
apartments.
Are
we
putting
them
in
all
mixed-use
district
or
those
that
near
Transit?
We
heard
that
concerns,
and
also
in
that
public
hearing
a
staff
came
back
and
answered
some
of
the
Planning
Commission
questions
that
we
have
in
the
first
study
session.
Z
Eventually,
we
modify
the
Luca
to
limit
the
air,
the
areas
where
this
Luca
would
apply
to
mix
use
land
use
District
near
frequent
Transit,
as
Matthew
mentioned
again
to
commissioner
favor.
The
option
to
expand
this
development
in
all
of
the
mixed-use
land
use
District,
not
just
the
transit
proximity.
Z
Ultimately,
the
Planning
Commission
unanimously
recommended
that
the
city
council
adopt
this
micro
apartment
Luca
to
remove
barriers
to
micro
apartment
Construction
in
mixed-use
land
use
District
near
frequent
Transit,
because
this
Luca
meets
all
of
the
decision
criteria
that
land
use
code
2030j
135
and
is
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
It
is
consistent
with
enhanced
Public,
Safety
and
Welfare
and
is
not
contrary
to
the
best
interest
of
the
citizen
and
property
owners
of
the
city
of
Bellevue.
Z
K
K
We
did
hold
a
public
hearing
subsequent
to
that
on
March,
8th
of
2023,
we're
here
in
front
of
you
tonight
for
a
study
session,
and
we
are
requesting
that
you
direct
us
to
bring
this
back
to
you
for
Action
at
a
future
meeting
and
with
that
councilmember
Stokes
I
will
hand
it
back
to
you
when
we
are
available
for
any
questions.
Any
of
the
council
members
may
have.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
I
think
we're
all
very
excited
to
see
this
going
forward
like
this
and
moving
this
along
in
a
good
pace
is
very,
very
great
I'd
like
to
start
off
with
councilman
Barksdale
and
we'll
go
down
the
line.
A
N
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
report
from
the
commission
and
staff,
so
I
guess,
I
would
start
off
by
just
saying
I,
like
the
increased
opportunity
for
more
affordable
housing
through
micro,
Apartments
I
did
have
just
a
couple
of
questions
for
the
play
area.
I
guess
I
was
curious
if
there
was
any
discussion
about
still
having
some
sort
of
open
space
as
part
of
the
development.
N
Just
as
an
example,
we
went
to
Copenhagen,
we
saw
high
density
buildings,
but
they
still
had
open
space
in
the
center
doesn't
have
to
be
in
the
center,
but
just
some
place
for
residents
to
gather
I'm,
just
not
sure
how
close
parks
are
to
some
of
these
locations
that
we're
considering
and
then.
N
K
K
So
we
see
that
as
an
additional
barrier
that
additional
requirement
to
micro,
Apartments,
so
I
think
the
what
the
Planning
Commission
ended
at
was
really
stressing
the
importance
in
the
public
hearing
of
the
city,
ensuring
that
there's
adequate
open
space
provided
by
the
city
for
public
use
for
all
units
really,
but
especially
as
the
city
increases
in
density,
but
they
did
not
recommend
any
additional
requirements
for
shared
spaces
within
these
buildings
and
scale
wise.
It's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
hard
with
that
diagram.
K
You're.
Looking
at
you
know
three
quarters
of
the
diagram
that's
been
provided
on
that
slide
yeah,
so
you
maybe
put
a
pen
across
the
screen
and
that
sort
of
gives
you
an
idea,
but
unfortunately,
in
a
round
room
I,
don't
have
a
very
good
scale
estimate
for.
N
You
all
good
I
guess
I
would
just
say
in
terms
of
the
open
space,
I
I
guess
it
would
be
interesting
at
some
point
in
the
future
to
see
where
parks
are
planned
relative
to
where
we're
allowing
these
units,
so
we
could
maybe
prioritize
part
development
and
so
forth
near
those
spaces
near
those
units.
Thank
you.
D
About
about
this,
because
I
first
brought
this
up
in
2014
when
I
first
got
on
the
council
and
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
and
the
Planning
Commission,
and
my
fellow
council
members
were
bringing
this
forward
in
a
very
thoughtful
way.
You
know
it's,
it's
not
for
everybody,
but
it's
truly
something
we're
missing
in
our
city
and
I.
D
I
would
love
to
look
at
how
we
might
make
some
of
these
more
affordable,
whether
it's
layering,
the
mfte
or
a
voucher
program,
I'd
love
to
see
that
or
selling
it
selling
units
to
the
non-profits
to
manage
at
a
lower
price
point.
Because
the
reality
is
you
know,
even
though
this
is
probably
the
least
expensive
style
of
housing.
You
can
possibly
have
in
Bellevue
that's
new,
it's
still
not
affordable
to
minimum
wage
workers.
D
So
these
are
still,
unfortunately
Out
Of
Reach
for
most
of
our
workers
and,
as
we
know,
90
percent
of
the
people
who
work
in
Bellevue
don't
live
here.
So
if
we
really
want
to
create
opportunities
for
people
to
live
where
they
work
and
affect
the
environment
by
enabling
people
to
commute
other
than
in
a
car,
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
piece
of
the
puzzle,
but
I
think
the
affordability
is
going
to
be
important.
D
So
the
other
thing
is
when
we
talk
about
bike
storage,
again:
referencing
Denmark,
what
they
had
in
their
apartments
and
they
have
a
lot
of
micro
apartments
in
Denmark
those
huge
hooks
on
the
back
of
the
front
door
where
you
can
hang
your
bike,
so
it'd
be
great
to
encourage
some
of
that
and
with
regards
to
Green
Oak,
you
know
Green
spaces
and
Parks.
D
So
anyway,
I'm
super
excited
I'd
love
to
be
able
to
bring
this
back
on
consent
if
that's
possible,
but
I'm
all
for
it
as
proposed.
So
thank
you.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
I
was
going
to
have
you
do
this
at
the
end
and
kind
of
put
some
of
this
together,
but
we'll
we'll
get
back
to
that.
So
very
good.
Thank
you.
Councilmember.
H
Lee,
thank
you.
Council
members
looks
good
work.
I
think
this
is
something
even
though
it's
not
prevalent
in
the
city
of
Bellevue,
but
because
of
a
population
because
of
the
cost
of
housing,
I,
always
believe
in
options.
You
know,
when
there's
a
need,
we
should
feel
the
need.
When
it's
demand,
we
should
figure
out
how
we
can
meet
it,
but
it
has
to
be
realistic,
has
to
meet
the
right
needs.
So
I
have
a
few
questions
to
ask
and
I
have
some
ideas
for
you.
H
K
Sure
so
the
micro
Department
would
be
would
range
from
anywhere
from
190
to
320
square
feet
under
the
proposed
code.
How
much
money?
K
Either
one
I
would
expect
to
fall
in
that
range.
Oh.
H
So
it's
above
that
price
range:
okay,
because
I
see
that
in
Seattle.
Definitely
there
are
units
like
that
and
they're
needed
and
they're
people
who
stay
in
there.
I
know
people
who
live
in
those
units
and
they're
very
happy.
Otherwise
they
cannot
afford
it.
And
so
what
do
you
see
about
this
demand
for
these
units
as
much
as
Seattle
or
any
rough
numbers?
You're
planning
for.
K
We
were
very
lucky
to
tour
some
of
these
units
in
Seattle
and
I
definitely
think
they're
a
housing
type
that
would
be
taken
up
in
Bellevue,
certainly
they're,
appealing
to
younger
people
that
are
just
starting
out
that
may
not
be
making
as
much
money
if
as
if
they
were
further
in
their
careers
they're,
also
appealing
to
those
who
are
in
transition,
so
maybe
they've
been
hired
by
a
local
company
and
they're
coming
from
abroad
or
they're
coming
from
somewhere
else
in
the
country
and
they're.
K
Looking
for
that
housing
for
a
transition
period,
it's
a
great
housing
type
for
that
and,
as
we've
seen
in
Seattle,
they've
also
been
used
as
30,
Ami
or
so
affordable
housing,
because
that
subsidy
cost
per
unit
is
less
so
I
do
think.
There's
a
demand
for
all
of
those
in
Bellevue
and
certainly
would
be
applicable.
There
potentially
is
also
some
demand
from
students
at
Bellevue,
College
I,
don't
have
specific
numbers
with
what
that
demand
would
be.
H
Sure,
I
I
hope
we
find
out.
You
know
in
the
in
your
planning.
Otherwise
how
do
you
know
how
much
you
plan
for
so
I
think
it's
important
and
there's
some
other
considerations.
Traveling
too.
Usually
they
have
less
meaning
of
traveling
a
lot.
They
want
to
stay
where
they
work.
They
make
it
practical
right
because
it's
all
the
costs
involved.
H
So
my
my
thought
is
that
when
you
do
the
Outreach,
did
you
talk
to
apartment
owners,
especially
small,
individual
owners
who
own
some
of
these
smaller
units,
because
they,
you
know
they
find
that
they
meet
the
demand
easier,
better
they're
like
competing
with
big
apartment
owners.
You
know
charging
four
thousand
dollars
a
month
and
they
don't
care
about
Market.
You
know
the
Ami
rate.
So
have
you
talked
to
the
small
owners
we.
K
Did
so
we
talked
to
several
development
entities
that
also
own
these
structures,
which
also
gave
us
tours
of
their
units
in
Seattle.
From
what
we've
heard
from
our
Outreach.
Most
of
these
units
are
going
to
be
built
by
small
developers
and
they're,
not
lucrative
enough
for
the
large
National
size
developers,
and
we
also
heard
that
most
of
these
units
will
also
be
financed
by
local
banks,
as
they're
too
risky
for
the
for
the
larger
Banks.
So
it's
definitely
a
local
development
project
or
product
versus
a
more
National
large
scale,
development
product.
H
Okay,
good,
maybe
you
know
we
can
talk
about
that,
a
little
bit
just
to
make
sure
that
you
know
it's
it's
it's
robust.
It's
good
I
have
a
couple
suggestions.
One
is
I
heard
about
parking.
You
know
who
I've
just
heard
one
of
the
speaker
earlier.
The
residential
owners
in
the
neighborhood
might
feel
that
if
we
don't
allow
parking,
the
spillage
might
be
on
the
residential
neighborhood.
So
what
what's
your
sense
about
that,
and
also
about
the
residents
near
around
these
areas?
K
We
have
tried
to
balance
parking
needs
with
affordability
and
we
King
County
does
provide
a
multi-family
parking
calculator,
so
we
did
utilize
that
as
an
analysis,
it
showed
that
there
would
probably
be
a
slightly
higher
requirement
for
parking
than
what
we
would
be
requiring
and
that
certainly
doesn't
preclude
developers
from
building
more
parking.
So
there
could
be
very
small
impacts
to
on-street
parking.
We
don't
expect
that
to
spill
over
into
the
neighborhoods.
K
We
expect
that
to
be
quite
contained
in
the
mixed
use
areas,
the
the
difference
was
quite
small
between
what
we're
proposing
and
what
that
calculator
came
out
with.
Obviously,
market
conditions
and
location
can
change
that
their
parking
calculator
does
use
location
base,
so
we
I
basically
chose
10
Parcels
in
Bellevue
that
would
be
affected
by
this
and
it
came
out
at
about
0.33
spaces
per
unit
at
a
hundred
dollars
per
month.
H
H
Finally,
when
we
talk
about
public
space,
you
know,
even
though
these
are
maybe
individuals
living
there-
young
people,
older
people,
but
it's
still
good
to
have
some
public
space
that
they
can
go
to
that's
nearby
right
and
so
I
I
would
suggest
it
may
be
something
the
city
needs
to
be
cutless
enough
and
maybe
provide
that
kind
of
space
right.
If
the
developers
can't
do
it,
because
additional
cars
I
think
if
the
city
provides
this
kind
of
opportunity
for
people
to
live,
we
need
to
provide
amenities.
M
Yes,
thank
you.
I
too,
am
excited
about
this.
Coming
in
front
of
us.
You
know,
I
was
thinking
when
I
was
growing
up
in
in
Hong
Kong.
We
we
had
very
small
units
for
very
a
lot
of
people,
so
I
think
that
being
able
to
offer
this
housing
type
is
really
important
and
I
John
joined
my
colleague
councilmember
barcelyn,
talking
about
when
having
visited
many
cities
in
Europe.
You
know
the
the
unit
sizes
are
quite
a
bit
smaller
and
it
is
not
for
everyone,
but
we
don't
have
that
housing
Choice
today.
M
So
I
think
that
is
a
really
important
piece.
I
did
have
some
comments
and
some
questions
so
I'll
just
put
it
all
out
there
and
then
you
can
respond
I
understand
about
starting
with
the
transit
access
piece
but
I.
It
kind
of
begs
the
question
of
well:
what
are
the
barriers
to
be
able
to
look
at
this
across
the
city
and
really
understanding
that
and
in
ways
that
we
could
Abate
it?
M
So
are
we
really
saying
that
this
is
more
of
a
phase
one
where
we're
looking
at
near
Transit,
but
that
more
broadly
I'd
like
to
think
that
if
you
are
interested
in
a
micro
housing
unit
that
you're
not
confined
to
only
certain
parts
of
the
city
where
that
housing
choice
is
available?
And
what
that
might
mean
is
that
our
minimum
parking
requirements
might
need
to
shift
in
order
for
it
to
be
in
different
parts
of
the
city.
M
But
if
I
look
at
the
map,
you
know
there's
many
parts
of
the
city
where
none
of
these
would
be
able
to
be
put
in,
and
it
would
seem
to
me
that
we
would
want
to
look
at
that
a
little
more
carefully
and
then
I
just
want
to
confirm
that
320
is
the
maximum
size.
So
it
could
based
on
market
conditions
and
design,
be
quite
a
bit
smaller
as
well,
and
the
reason
I
ask
is
because
I
agree
with
my
colleagues.
M
I
do
think
that
when
you
have
small
units,
the
ability
to
actually
have
some
open
space
would
be
important
to
gather.
So
is
there
a
way
to
put
a
provision
in
where,
if
there
are
no
Open
Spaces
nearby
that
we
would
want
that
the
building
to
have
some
open
space
in
it,
so
we're
not
actually
requiring
it
if
there
is
something
close
by?
M
And
then,
when
you
were
talking
about
bike
parking,
I
wondered:
are
these
bike
Corrals
that
we're
talking
about
creating
spaces
for
and
then
have
we
contemplated
some
type
of
Bike,
Share
or
car
share,
so
that
if
there
are
these
micro
units,
you
know,
maybe,
if
there's
a
way
to
I,
don't
know
if
there's
any
businesses
like
a
car
to
go
or
something
where,
where
there's
an
ability
for
shared
bikes
and
cars,
so
that,
if
if
we
are
already
cost
burdened
with
rent,
the
ability
to
have
shared
uses
instead
of
having
to
own
and
pay
insurance
seems
to
me
would
be
a
good
way
to
go.
M
So
what
I'm
wondering
is
we
have
our
1590
money
that
allows
us
to
support
housing
at
the
zero
to
sixty
percent
Ami
is,
is
any
of
that
available
as
a
subsidy
to
buy
down
micro
units,
and
is
that
something
we
can
look
at
and
then
is
any
of
these
home
ownership
type
of
units
where
we
could
also
look
at
making
sure
that
we're
not
only
looking
at
rentals
but
creating
an
opportunity
for
wealth
generation
through
home
ownership?
So
I
know
I
got
a
bunch
of
these,
but
I'm
excited
to
get
going.
K
Sure
so
I'll
start
with
the
first
one
which
sort
of
relates
to
allowing
it
across
the
city
and
this
being
a
phase
one.
So
micro
apartments
are
currently
allowed
under
the
land
use
code.
What
would
change
with
this
would
be
in
these
areas
around
Transit?
We
would
allow
these
exceptions
to
the
code
or
these
different
codes
for
micro
departments
to
really
encourage
them.
We
don't
have
plans
for
a
phase
two
right
now.
K
That's
certainly
something
Council
can
look
at
in
the
future,
with
expanding
scope,
probably
after
the
comp
plan
has
been
completed,
would
be
the
time
to
go
back
and
look
at
what
policies
we
need
to
enact
to
make
sure
that
our
land
use
code
is
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
Plan
update.
So
there's,
certainly
some
potential
with
that
as
well.
K
K
There
are
certainly
possible
ways
to
do
it
in
the
land
use
code-
I
wouldn't
say
it's
impossible,
but
it
makes
it
a
little
bit
more
difficult,
we're
now,
starting
to
sort
of
overlay,
different
standards
both
for
Transit
and
for
open
space,
but
it's
it's
potentially
possible
with
bike
parking.
The
requirements
the
way
they're
written
would
require
them
to
be
weatherproof
and
secure
in
most
cases
in
a
new
building.
That
would
be
some
sort
of
room,
that's
included
in
the
building.
K
We
did
look
at
a
few
in
Seattle
that
had
outsour
outdoor
shed
type
items
that
had
a
roof
and
walls,
and
they
were
locked
in
so
those
would
meet
the
requirement
as
well
as
the
mayor
mentioned.
I
could
potentially
provide
bikes
parking
in
unit
that
could
potentially
meet
the
requirements
depending
on
how
it's
laid
out.
So
let
me
see
car
share
is
something
that
would
generally
be
dealt
with
between
a
developer
and
a
car
share
company
unless
the
city
had
contracts.
Otherwise
it's
not
something
we
would
generally
deal
with
through
the
land
use
code.
K
Potential
for
buy
down,
I,
believe
15.90
money
could
be
used.
That's
a
project
by
project
type
program.
I
know
the
affordable
housing
team
is
going
after
us.
That
may
be
something
to
ask
them
with
for
more
specifics
on
1590
I'm,
not
quite
sure
what
the
very
specific
criteria
is
in
that
state
law
with
1590
and
I.
Don't
want
to
give
you
the
wrong
information,
so
it's
certainly
a
program
that
can
be
used
for
housing,
but
what
those
specific
sideboards
the
state
have
put
on
I'm,
not
quite
sure.
Y
Excuse
me
I
think
there
was
one
other
point
that
you
had
asked
for
some
clarification
on
whether
this
was
new
development
or
conversions
I
think
we
generally
anticipate
it
being
new
development,
but
I
do
know
that
there's
a
project
with
a
request
to
convert
to
micro
units
that
we
have
just
that
has
just
come
to
our
attention.
So
I
think
you
could
potentially
see
conversions,
but
we
were
generally
targeting
this
at
new
construction.
K
And
the
last
question
I
believe,
is
about
home
ownership.
There's
nothing
that
would
preclude
these
units
from
being
condos.
None
of
the
Outreach
we
did
or
any
of
the
units
we
looked
at
were
condos.
They
were
all
rentals.
Some
of
the
research
we
did
did
show
an
interest
in
those
renters
buying
units,
but
it
does
appear
that
primarily
these
units
are
rental
units.
B
To
the
Planning
Commission,
thank
you.
First
I
wanted
to
thank
the
Planning
Commission
I
was
at
the
public
hearing
and
the
Planning
Commission
had
a
really
robust,
thoughtful
conversation.
B
A
lot
of
the
issues
that
council
is
Raising
tonight
like
open
space,
parking
and
affordability,
are
all
things
that
they
grappled
with,
and
commissioner
malakushin
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
my
impression
was
that
the
Planning
Commission
might
have
wanted
to
potentially
change
from
the
open
space
requirements
like
instead
of
requiring
playgrounds
requiring
the
square
footage
of
open
space
for
them
and
or
potentially
parking
or
affordability,
but
they
felt
my
impression
was
they
felt
somewhat
constrained,
because
the
council
gave
them
very
clear,
Direction
on
a
very
targeted
Amendment.
Z
You're
absolutely
right:
we
talk
very
much
about
livability
and
provide
a
place
that
these
people
can
live
and
enjoy
opener
space
and
not
be
just
siled
in
190th
square
foot,
but
I
think
they
were
constrained.
And
then
we
realized
that
we
should
just
move
forward
with
have
the
balance
that
this
encourage
these
units
be
built
and
that's
the
priority.
So
we
just
move
with
that
great.
B
That
was
my
understanding
and
impression,
as
well
so
I'd
like
to
touch
on
three
topics
tonight,
at
the
same
three
that
my
colleagues
have
weighed
in
on
open
space,
parking
and
affordability,
the
open
space
I,
really
like
council
member
zahn's
idea
of
potentially
building
into
the
land
use
code,
some
sort
of
requirement
for
open
space
and
I
think
you
could
craft
it
in
that
you
wouldn't
I
I,
don't
think
that
she
was
suggesting,
and
you
can
feel
free
to
jump
in
if
I'm
wrong,
that
we
should
do
the
geographic
map
with
Parkland,
overlaid.
B
I
think
what
she
was
suggesting
was
is
that
when
a
permit
comes
in,
if
they're
close
to
park
and
open
space,
then
they
get
Exempted
from
putting
some
on
site
and
if
they're,
not
they
have
to
have
a
certain
amount
of
just
open
space
on
site
did
I
capture
that
correctly?
Yes,
you,
okay,
you
did
thank
you
and
I
would
support
making
that
kind
of
change
to
the
code
and
I
think
that
that
would
be
a
very
reasonable
approach
to
have
a
small
amount,
a
place
where
someone
can
sit
next
to
a
tree.
B
You
know
on
the
on
the
site.
Second,
on
parking,
I
was
looking
at
the
other
parts
of
the
land
use
code
and
studio.
Apartments
also
are
a
quarter
stall
per
unit
like
is
proposed
here,
so
I
haven't
really
no
issue
with
that.
I
would
point
out
that
if
these
are
affordable
housing,
then
there's
at
60
percent,
60
percent
I.
Have
that
right.
Remember
my
notes.
I'm
trying
to
read
them
at
60
Ami
is
that
right,
then
there's
zero
parking
required
did
I,
get
that
right,
Liz
or
Matthew.
K
B
Because
it
yeah
in
the
in
the
strike
draft
it
it
was
in
537b.
Let
me
pull
that
up.
I
thought.
It
said
that
if
they
are
affordable,
537b
parking
shall
be
provided
a
ratio
of
0.25
spaces
per
micro
unit
meeting
that,
but
if
they
meet
the
definition
of
affordable
housing
and
I
haven't
looked
up,
2050.010
she'll
have
known
parking
minimum.
What
is
the
standard
of
affordable
housing
in
2050.010?
Is
that
45
or
is
that
60
percent.
B
Sorry,
I
didn't
look
it
up.
We
wanted
to
confirm
that
okay,
so
so
there
could,
in
theory,
be
these
with
zero
parking
and
and
if
they're,
near
Transit,
I
don't
have
so
much
of
an
issue
with
that.
But
I
I
think
that
the
public
speaker
we
had
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
was
really
well
taken.
If
one
of
these
is
located
in
an
rpz,
it
could
be
a
problem
so
and
I
was
looking
at
the
draft
code
and
it
allows
the
modification
of
the
parking
ratio
in
theory
to
go
down.
B
I
think
that
that
would
be
reasonable,
because
I
I
I
think
the
public
commenter's
point
was
very
well
taken
about
our
our
PCS
in
the
building
with
no
parking
in
an
rpz
Zone
I
would
be
interested
in
that
and
then
finally,
on
affordability,
I,
like
the
idea
of
1590
money,
I've
been
as
consistent
with
some
of
the
things
I've
been
advocating
for,
but
I
also
wanted
to
talk
about
the
mfte,
because
Matthew
said
that
as
built,
these
are
60
at
60
to
80
Ami,
without
subsidy
under
the
mfte
for
various
or
for
very
small
dwelling
units.
B
The
rent
has
to
be
at
45
Ami,
but
there's
a
disconnect
between
this
code,
which
lives
allows
a
maximum
size
of
320
square
feet
and
the
mfte
code
that
limits
the
the
very
small
dwelling
unit
to
300
square
feet.
So
I
think
that
it
would
be
very
appropriate
when
we
pass
this
and
I
do
support,
passing
it
to
have
a
very
targeted
Amendment
to
the
mfte
code.
That
raises
that
300
to
320.,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
if
it's,
if
they
build
a
320,
a
building
full
of
320
square
foot
units.
B
Those
are
not
considered
very
small
dwelling
units,
they
are
considered,
I,
suppose
Studios
and
all
they
would
have
to
do
to
get
the
mft
to
get
their
property.
Tax
exemption
for
12
years
is
to
rent
them
at
80,
Ami,
well,
market
rate
for
these
units
is
60
to
80
Ami,
so
we're
basically
giving
people
a
property
tax
exemption
for
charging,
Market,
rent
and
I.
Just
don't
think
the
mft
who
was
meant
for
that.
It
was
meant
to
drive
down
affordability
and
give
them
a
tax
break
for
that
purpose.
B
So
I'm
happy
to
let
you
respond
to
any
of
this,
but
I
would
personally
I
don't
want
to
see
this
come
back
on
consent
because
I'm
interested
in
seeing
amendments
on
open
space,
potentially
on
parking
and
not
necessarily
an
amendment
to
this
on
affordability,
but
it
but
a
very
targeted
Amendment
on
the
mfte
to
raise
the
very
small
unit
to
320..
So
thanks.
Y
Council
member
Robertson,
thank
you
for
those
comments
regarding
open
space.
We
can
certainly
look
at
what
possibility
there
is
that
we
could
think
about
proximity
to
public
open
space.
I
do
want
to
also
note
that
part
of
the
reason
for
some
of
these
lowering
of
Standards
is
really
to
make
these
more
affordable
to
where
it
does
pencil
out
for
the
development
committee.
Y
B
Okay.
Okay,
thank
you.
Let
me
just
ask
follow-ups,
so
the
mft
code
is
in
the
city
code,
so
it's
not
in
the
land
use
code.
So
if
we
wanted
to
bring
forward
a
very
targeted
amendment
to
that,
we
could
just
bring
it
forward
and
pass
it.
We
don't
have
to
go
through
sepa.
We
don't
have
to
send
it
to
Commerce.
B
We
don't
have
to
hold
the
public
hearing,
so
I
personally
think
we
should
true
that
up
because
I
don't
want
to
be
giving
people
property
tax
exemptions
when
they're
not
actually
creating
more
affordable
housing,
so
we
could
do
it
pretty
quick
I
think
it
could
be
drafted
up
and
done.
At
the
same
time,
I
would
like
to
do
that.
So
we
don't
create
a
gap
on
that
personally
and
I'd
love
I'd
love
to
hear
what
my
colleagues
have
to
say
because
I've
thrown
a
few
things
out
here,
but
well.
A
Well
and
I'll
get
you
in
just
a
second
I
I
agree
with
you,
I
think:
that's
a
actually
a
less
time,
killing
way
to
approach
this,
and
we
can
get
this
back.
I
think
most
of
the
stuff
we
agree
on
is
in
very,
very
good,
laid
out.
This
there's
a
lot
of
details
on
it,
but
we
don't
have
to
bring
it
back
on
consent.
That
doesn't
mean
we
can't
get
it
done
pretty
quickly,
but
I.
A
Think
councilmember
Robertson
has
a
good
suggestion
on
this
and,
as
the
liaison
has
really
knows,
what's
been
going
on
all
the
conversations
so
I
I
would
like
to
see
that
I
don't
have
any
other
things
that
I
want
to
say
because
I
think
the
conversation's
been
very
good,
and
this
is
we're
focusing
on.
How
do
we
do
this?
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
give
the
the
mayor
another
opportunity,
because
what
she
says
the
beginning
was
more
of
a
top
policy
kind
of
over
over.
You
know.
A
Why
would
she
be
doing
this
and
all
and
get
a
little
more
see
after
these
conversations?
What
do
you
think
mayor
about
the
approaches
and
the
the
conversation
here
and
where?
Where
that
takes
us.
D
Well,
I
think
this.
C
A
C
D
Thoughtfully
discussed-
and
we
have
been
it's
taken
us
10
years-
to
get
it
this
far
so
I'm
kind
of
eager
to
move
forward
with
it
as
proposed
and
we
can
modify
if
we
need
to.
D
It
seems
to
me
that
when
we
redid
the
mfte,
we
put
a
special
provision
in
for
micro,
housing
and
I
thought
that
that
was
thoughtfully
done.
But
maybe
that
needs
to
be
re-examined.
It
seems
to
me
I
think
all
the
suggestions
are
great.
I,
just
don't
want
to
delay
the
process
at
all,
so
you
know
whatever
we
can
do
to
get
it
going
if
we
need
to
re-examine
it
in
two
years
and
and
see
how
it
worked.
D
I'm,
fine
with
that
but
I
would
and
I'm
I
am
very
interested
in
deepening
the
affordability,
because
really
we're
trying
to
House
people
who
work
in
the
city
and
a
lot
of
people
have
minimum
wage
jobs,
so
love
to
see
them
be
able
to
choose
to
live
in
Bellevue,
so
I
guess
I'm
interested
in
moving
forward
and
then
having
a
look
back
or
something
or
assessment.
But
I
I
am
curious
about
the
mft.
A
So
I
would
I
would
not
want
to
see
us
again
encounter
that
incense
is
I.
Think
we're
looking
for
the
same
have
the
same
goal.
If
we
put
this
off
this,
this
suggestion
to
make
an
an
amendment
here,
it
could
be
months
before
or
years
before
you
get
back
to
it
in
a
sense,
and
it
seems
like
that's
a
very
important
part
of
making
this
work
and
I
don't
see
why
it's
going
to
take
us
very
long.
A
We
could
do
it
in
10
minutes
and
and
then
pass
the
rest
and
at
the
council
we'll
you
know,
agree.
Let's,
let's
approach
this,
we
talked
about
it.
If
we
had
said,
let's
bring
back
in
consent,
we
wouldn't
have
a
conversation
about
it,
but
if
we
have
this
one
piece
that
could
make
a,
we
think
a
difference,
and
it's
not
a
big
thing.
We
could
do
that
and
then
pass
the
whole
thing.
A
Y
The
Direction
come
would
like
us
to
explore
to
bring
back
possible
options.
Okay,
I
have
heard
that
you
would
like
us
to
look
at
a
potential
option
for
open
space,
the
requirement
being
related
to
proximity
to
other
public
open
space,
whether
it's
required
or
not.
Y
I
also
heard
that
you
would
like
us
to
look
at
parking
and
again,
that
would
be
a
proximity
issue
related
to
RPC
zones
and
or
on-street
parking,
and
then
I
also
heard
that
you
would
like
us
to
at
least
start
some
work
around
the
mfte
to
True
up
the
300
and
320
square
feet
so
that
there
is
a
similar,
the
same
number
there
so
that
we
could
potentially
incentivize
the
mfte
program
more
with
this
work
as
well.
M
M
If
there's
no
proximity
to
that
I
guess
I
do
want
to
confirm
when
you
bring
the
third
one
back
about
aligning
the
mfte
and
the
unit
size,
the
the
magic
formula
of
320
versus
300,
so
I'd
like
to
understand
why
we
wouldn't
lower
the
micro
unit
definition
to
300
versus
doing
the
work
of
raising
the
mfte
number
to
320..
So
maybe
you
can
talk
about
that
tonight
and
maybe
that's
part
of
when
you
come
back
with
options.
I
just
don't
completely
understand
that
yet.
Y
Council
members
on
I,
don't
I,
actually
don't
have
a
presupposed
opinion
of
which
is
the
right
one
to
change
at
this
point
in
time.
So
we
will
need
to
do
some
further
research
and
come
back
with
that
if
it
is
most
efficient
and
most
beneficial
to
the
program
to
change
the
MF
to
e
number
or
if,
in
fact,
there
is
a
compelling
reason
to
change
the
number
in
this
proposed
court
code,
ordinance
I
think
the
interest
Council
has
in
having
consistency
between
those
two
numbers
was
well
taken
tonight.
M
A
H
Thank
you.
This
is
already
being
a
very
thoughtful
discussion.
I
appreciate
that
John,
you
know,
allow
us
to
do
this
and
I
think
we
all
agree
I'm
pretty
much
the
same
thing.
You
know:
affordability,
parking,
open
space,
I,
hear
what
councilmember
Robertson
here
and
Janice
cross
members
aren't
suggested.
You
know,
and
especially
with
the
mftpes.
This
idea,
it's
something
new,
so
in
a
way
just
ask
whether
we
bring
it
down
to
300
or
bring
it
up
to
320.
We
don't
know
yet
you
don't
know
that
we
have
to
talk
about
it.
H
So
I,
don't
think
you
know
we
can
readily
decide.
What
is
that
there's
one
major
point
of
which
I
have
some
concern
about
this?
We
all
agree
that
these
are
the
things
that
need
to
look
at.
The
question
is:
what's
the
detail
mechanism
to
do
it,
you
know
I
propose
at
least
not
proposing
I
I
suggested
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
if
we
want
the
facility,
Apartments
Michael
apartment
to
be
feasible.
H
Ultimately,
it's
how
much
can
the
bill
and
how
much
people
are
what
I
can
afford
to
live
it
so
it's
connected,
but
if
we
pass
the
cost
onto
the
Builder,
you
know
because
it's
going
to
cause
them
to
provide
open
space.
I,
don't
know
what
this
is
going
to
be.
It
could
be
lots
of
money
or
maybe
not
if
there's
one
already
available
so
I
think
that's
the
detail
that
need
to
be
worked
out.
H
You
know
I,
that's
why
I
suggest
that
if
it's
included
in
the
part
of
our
consideration,
our
planning,
the
city
will
be
responsible
for
then
it's
made
it
possible
for
people
to
to
rent
at
the
reasonable.
You
mentioned
thirteen
hundred
dollar
price.
If
you
have
to
add
on
the
parking
open
space
so
gee,
how
can
they
build
it
for
1300,
maybe
there's
another
10
million
dollars
to
under
the
building?
They
have
to
charge
more
you're,
not
gonna.
Have
people
coming
here.
So
there's
a
lot
of
potential
course.
H
You
know
issues
that
may
not
be
resolved
so
I
I
believe
we
need
to
look
at
that
and
if
the
city,
if
the
builders
and
the
owners
renters
have
no
problem
with
it,
so
within
the
range
of
what
you're
looking
at
then
it's
fine.
But
if
it
isn't,
then
it's
not.
So
that's
why
I
offered
an
idea
not
exclusively,
but
it's
to
look
at
how
we
can
provide
the
environment,
the
welcomings,
the
open
space
parking
requirement,
so
that
will
make
it
meaningful,
feasible.
I
mean
make
it
possible
for
these
people
to
live
there.
H
K
And
council
member
Stokes,
if
I
may
just
to
address
that
quickly,
it
is
something
that
we
have
discussed
quite
substantially
when
we
did
our
Outreach
and
basically,
what
we
found
through
our
Outreach
through
discussing
with
developers,
is
that
anytime
you're
taking
more
and
more
of
the
lot
in
the
buildable
area,
away
from
the
the
developer
you're,
making
these
units
less
and
less
feasible.
K
You
know,
even
speaking
with
Architects
talking
about
adding
a
single
parking
space
to
these
lots,
makes
the
the
build
out
and
the
development
much
more
complicated,
because
you
then
have
to
provide
a
curb
cut
and
you
have
to
provide
a
drive
access
and
that
parking
space
will
have
to
be
accessible.
So
you
have
to
meet
those
requirements.
So
you
know
the
more
of
these
requirements
you
wear
on
the
more
expensive
these
buildings
become
to
develop
and
the
less
feasible
they
become.
So
there
is
that
balance
there
between.
K
H
K
K
D
Make
a
comment:
please
thank
you.
I
I
appreciate
this
discussion
and
Matthew
I
really
appreciate
saying
about
the
the
costs
benefits
of
adding
things
requirements
in
I
do
think
that
the
affordability
with
the
mft
program
is
very
worth
looking
at
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
affordable
units
and
the
ability
to
layer.
The
mfte
would
be
really
effective.
I
am
concerned
about
the
timeliness
of
going
through
the
other
things
and
I
I.
D
Z
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
As
Matthew
mentioned,
we
discussed
not
in
not
mfce,
but
we
discussed
the
parking
and
the
open
space
significantly
because,
as
council
member
zone
mentioned,
livability
is
important
for
us,
but
the
the
competing
priorities
here
is.
We
have
already
people
can
already
build
this
if
they
want
to,
but
they
don't
want
to
because
they
have
the
parking
requirements,
because
there
is
open
space
and
everything
becomes
expensive.
So,
therefore,
we
don't
have
these
units
in
Bellevue,
Soviet
discussed
this
in
detail
and
I
think
we
came
up.
Z
Z
The
the
only
reason
we
recommended
to
limit
that
to
the
mixed
land
use
code
near
Transit
was
to
be
able
to
loosen
the
parking
requirements
to
make
it
cheaper
for
developer
to
build
that
the
same
as
open
space
and
I
just
wanted
to
tell
you
that
when
I
was
getting
my
PhD
for
2008
2012.
I
was
a
single
person.
I
had
a
bike
and
I
was
trying
to
rent
one
of
these
units
because
I
was
in
the
office
in
the
campus.
Z
The
whole
day
I
was
biking
there
and
I
wanted
to
just
have
a
space
to
sleep.
That
seat
like
I,
was
not
even
caring
about
open
space,
because
I
was
near.
You
I
was
in
on
the
campus.
We
had
the
cherry
blossom.
I
could
go
just
there
and
just
enjoy
the
open
space
so
for
some
target
audience
that
they
want
to
just
leave
where
they
work.
They
don't
want
to
have
a
crazy
commute
that
this
policy
I
think
is
a
very
reasonable
one.
D
B
Allow
me
to
follow
up
three
comments.
One
is
whether
we
change
this
to
maximize
300
or
we,
if
that's
the
easier
way
to
go,
I'd
be
okay
with
that
I.
Just
think
it
has
to
match
up
with
mftb.
B
Second
well,
I
think
understanding
that
developments
must
pencil
I
don't
want
us
to
get
so
caught
up
in
trying
to
maximize
profits
for
developers.
That's
not
why
we
Zone
understanding
the
economics
is
important,
but
maximizing
developer
profits
is
not
so.
B
Finally,
on
the
parking
I
just
did
look
up
that
affordable
housing
quote
and
it
requires
the
affordable
housing
is
defined
as
one's
meaning
for
people,
eighty
percent
Ami
or
below.
So
basically
as
written.
This
requires
zero
parking,
because
a
market
rate
micro
unit
is
60
to
80
Ami
and
if
affordable
housing
is
defined
as
80
Ami,
we
are
passing
something
that
has
zero
parking
and
I'm,
not
personally.
B
Okay,
with
that
I'd
be
okay
with
reducing
parking
for
45,
so
I'm
highly
recommending
that
we
take
the
parking
provision
in
the
in
the
draft
code,
which
is
at.
B
B
That's
the
affordable
housing
that
should
apply
to
these
units,
and
so,
if
we
could
have
that,
come
back
with
some
information
about
that,
because
I
will
definitely
be
making
a
motion
to
amend
this
to
make
sure
that
it
does
throw
up
with
mft.
Thank
you.
A
Any
any
other
comments
you
know
this
is:
we
still
are
making
sausage
to
a
certain
extent
and
I
I
think
this
has
been
a
great
conversation
and
I,
just
don't
I
think
most
of
us
don't
want
to
have
a
rush
to
okay.
This
is
this
I.
A
If
we
were
going
back
to
2016-17
on
the
affordable
housing
thing,
I
would
have
really
worked
harder
to
get
more
better
numbers
than
we
came
out
with
the
numbers
we
had
were
well
sounds
good
and
whatever
in
that,
and
we
we've
been,
we've
been
I,
think
restrained
a
lot
by
that
and
thinking
that
that's
we
get
to
that
level
and
we've
really
done
something
when
in
fact
we
probably
need
to
have
three
times
that
as
a
goal
from
way
back,
then.
A
So
it's
it's
about
it's
hard
and
that's
why
a
few
minutes
an
hour
here
can
save
us
hundreds
of
hours
and
getting
stuff
done
quicker
than
if
we
continue
to
go
a
certain
way
and
we
don't
really
cover
everything
so
I
think
that's
been
the
balance
and
I
think
you're
doing
a
great
job
of
putting
it
and
the
things
we're
asking
for
are
not
that
complex,
oh
and
I.
Think
what
it
is
is
coming
back
with
some
good
responses
and
what
can
work
and
and
then
we
have
to
strike
a
balance.
A
Y
I
think
the
area
that
will
probably
take
us
the
most
time
is
actually
to
do
some
Outreach
on
what
the
impact
would
be
to
developments
in
adding
in
parking
requirements
and
open
space.
So
I
do
believe
that
that's
something
that
we
would
need
to
work
with
the
stakeholders
that
we
have
already
worked
with
to
bring
back
some
good
information
on
that
to
the
council
and
I
believe
that
would
probably
be
the
most
time
consuming.
We
can.
Y
We
will
absolutely
look
at
the
mft
as
well
and
I
think
that
is
probably
something
that
because
the
work
was
done
so
recently
on
that
we
probably
have
some
good
economic
analysis
on
that.
But
Matthew
do
you
have
any
other
thoughts
on
that.
K
You
know
I
think
we
can
lean
on
some
of
the
the
Outreach
we've
done
already.
You
know
we've
heard
specifically
from
developers
that
one
parking
space
is
too
many,
so
we
know
there's
a
substantial
impact
to
to
council
member
Robertson's
comments.
You
know
she's
correct
in
that
we're
not
Zoning
for
maximum
developer
profits,
so
we
can
certainly
reach
out
to
them
again,
but
I
don't
expect
to
hear
too
much
of
a
different
story
from
them.
K
Obviously,
that's
one
side
of
the
picture,
but
it
will
take
time
to
do
that
Outreach
and
it
will
take
some
time
to
look
at
options
for
open
space
if
we
are
going
to
base
it
on
location
and
how
to
do
that
and
what
the
process
of
that
looks
like
I
think
is
probably
the
most
complicated
piece
of
code
that
we'd
have
to
add
to
this.
So
that
may
take
some
time
as
well.
Okay,.
A
I
know
it's
it's
it's
it's
difficult,
I,
just
I
think
we're
we're
wanting
to
get
it
done
as
perfect
as
they
can.
But
you
know
there's
a
limit
to
that
and
same
time.
We
have
too
many
cases,
I
think
that
where
we've
done
a
great
job
but
we've
not
resolve
some
things
and
it's
been
years
before
we
finally
get
to
it,
so
I
think
that
you're
doing
a
great
job.
Yes,.
D
Sure
I'm
just
going
to
ask
that
we
not
let
perfect
be
the
enemy
of
good.
On
this.
You
know
it
is
limited
where
we're
allowing
it
because
we're
not
we're
not
requiring
parking
and
that
just
wouldn't
work
throughout
the
city.
It's
it
works
where
they
are.
Allowing
this
to
happen,
it's
very
thoughtfully
done.
A
Okay,
I!
Don't
think
we're
that
far
apart
on
it,
if
you
can
address
some
of
the
issues
we've
come
up
with
in
a
short
time,
we
can
do
that
because
I
think
once
you
go
past
those
things,
the
the
perfect
and
even
the
the
good
does
sometimes
doesn't
come
out
well,
five
years
later,
when
you
try
to
realize
we
didn't
quite
get
there,
I
I
don't
think
we're
asking
that
we're
that
far
apart
frankly,
when
it
comes
down
to
it,
so.
B
So
yeah
I
mean
I
think
necessarily
have
to
go
for
the
full
Outreach
again,
because
what
the
council
is
doing,
which
we
always
reserve
the
right
to
do
is
maybe
do
some
smile
tinkering.
For
me,
my
biggest
concerns
are
the
fact
that
the
parking,
affordable
parking
reduction
doesn't
is
not
at
the
45
Ami,
it's
not
consistent
with
the
mfte
and
that
the
affordable,
and
that
the
size
of
the
units
is
not
consistent
with
mfte.
B
So
if
we
amended
the
code
to
reduce
the
size
of
the
units
to
300
and
instead
of
citing
to
2050
010
on
affordability
in
the
parking
section
we
cited
to
452
090
A1A,
which
is
the
45
percent
I
mean
I,
still
want
some
open
space.
But
I
would
be
okay
with
that.
Just
those
two
changes,
because
we
want
this
to
also
generate
affordable
housing.
B
So
those
are
my
biggest
concerns
and
I
didn't
realize
until
I
was
sitting
here
tonight
and
looked
up
the
code
that
the
zero
parking
is
basically
what
apply
to
every
project
like
this,
because
every
project
market
rate
is
80,
going
to
be
80
or
below
so
I.
Don't
think
that
I
doubt
the
Planning
Commission
was
aware
of
that
yeah
commissioner
malukushians
I
wasn't
aware
of
it
when
we
had
this
at
the
Planning
Commission
hearing
and
I
wasn't
aware
of
it
until
I
looked
that
up
tonight
as
I
was
sitting.
Z
Z
It's
going
to
be
zero
parking
requirements.
B
And
that's
I
think
how
it
should
be
I
think
that
was
what
was
intended
that,
but
how
it's
crafted
right
now.
That
is
not
what
it
says.
So,
thanks
sorry
to
staff
for
throwing
all
this
stuff
at
you,
but
we
it
doesn't
have
to
be
perfect,
but
it
needs
to
be
good
and
it
needs
to
promote
our
goals,
which
is
the
affordable
housing.
So
thanks.
A
Okay,
well,
I,
don't
think
we're
too
far
apart
and
let's,
let's
work
on
it
and
we'll
try
to
keep
it
focused.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
Y
A
A
E
B
I
direct
staff
to
bring
back
the
micro
unit
ordinance
with
information
about
making
sure
that
the
affordability
is
trued
up
consistent
with
the
mfte,
including
parking
standards
trued
up
and
to
bring
back
more
information
and
potential
amendments
on
open
space
as
discussed
tonight.
Second,
second,.
A
A
Okay
call
the
meeting
back
to
order
well
in
the
second
item:
affordable
housing
strategy,
implementation,
update,
really
looking
forward
to
this.
Thank
you.
I
I'll
go
ahead
and
okay,
fine
and,
and
let
you
know
that
this
is
the
second
item
on
our
study
session
out
of
four.
This
is
an
informational
update
on
the
2017
Council
adopted,
affordable
housing
strategy
and
again,
although
Bellevue
adopted
this
strategy
back
in
2017
you'll
hear
tonight,
and
I'll
mentioned
this-
that
the
staff
is
currently
working
is
underway
on
revising
the
targets
now
that
you'll
hear
about
at
some
future
date.
The
last
update
the
council
received
on
this
particular
matter
was
in
October
of
2022.
I
Tonight's
presentation
will
include
an
update
on
the
progress
of
the
affordable
housing
strategy
and
of
implementing
it
and
the
highlights
the
planning
and
implementation
work
related
to
housing.
No
direction
is
being
requested
this
evening
and
joining
us
at
the
table
are
in
Neil,
King
planning,
director,
Linda
Ave,
affordable
housing,
planning
manager
and
James
Chow
senior
planner,
all
from
the
Community
Development
Department.
With
that
I'll
hand
it
over
to
you
Emil.
AA
Thank
you
for
the
introduction
city
manager
and
good
evening
mayor
acting
chair,
Stokes
and
members
of
council
tonight
is
our
semi-annual
update
on
the
implementation
of
the
affordable
housing
strategy.
You
met
Linda
Abe
before
she
visited
back
in
October
when
she
was
a
few
weeks
into
her
tenure
with
the
city
and
I
would
like
to
to
introduce
a
new
staff
member.
AA
AA
Our
agenda
for
tonight
is
first
we're
going
to
cover
how
we're
doing
on
the
actions
and
the
affordable
housing
Target
from
the
2017
strategy,
as
the
city
manager
described.
This
is
our
our
10-year
plan
and
we
did
have
a
Target
established
back
in
2017
for
2500
units
over
a
10-year
period
as
you're
going
to
hear
tonight.
AA
It's
interesting
as
you
hear
the
presentation
tonight
to
really
see
how
the
work
is
ramped
up
since
2017
we've
been
making
a
lot
of
good
progress
on
a
bunch
of
different
fronts
relating
to
affordable
housing,
direct
investment,
land
use
incentives
and
financial
incentives,
including
things
like
mfte,
our
long-range
planning.
Now
a
lot
of
it
is
about
housing
and
affordable
housing.
AA
AB
Thank
you
emo
good
good
evening,
I'm,
mayor
Robinson
and
council
members,
and
thank
you
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
provide
this
update.
We
think
it's
really
important
to
track
the
tools
that
the
affordable
housing
provides
for
us.
I.
Think
one
of
the
purposes
of
tracking
the
tools
is
that
we
can
understand
the
effectiveness
so
that
we
can
look
at
well.
Do
we
need
more
tools?
Do
we
need
different
kinds
of
tools?
Should
we
just
tweak
the
tools
just
like
we
were
talking?
AB
You
were
talking
about
the
for
the
mfte
program
for
the
micro
units.
There's
going
to
be
potential
changes
in
you
know
different
opportunities,
as
a
comp
plan
is
updated
to
look
at
what
tools
will
be
more
effective
as
we
move
forward
and
and
Bellevue
continue
to
grow.
How
can
we
manage
and
continue
to.
AB
So
I'll
provide
a
little
bit
of
background.
All
of
you
are
very
familiar
with
the
program
now
in
2017,
affordable
housing
strategy
was
implemented
at
the
time.
A
target
of
2500
unit
beds
was
the
target
for
in
the
in
the
10
years
kind
of
at
Midway.
The
Midway
Park
Mark
was
last
year
and
we
were
on
track
to
to
exceed
the
10-year
Target.
AB
So
at
that
time,
yes,
the
council
recognized
that
we
needed
to
consider
reconsider
the
target
at
the
time
and,
in
addition,
Council
recognized
that
we
could
use
some
additional
tools
so
at
that
at
that
time,
in
June
July,
the
the
council
initiated
the
next
right
work,
which
is
some
of
the
action
items
is
including
the
the
micro
unit
work
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
streamlining
the
permit
process,
looking
at
updates
to
the
far
so
all
of
these
tools
will
help
us
to
do
our
job
better,
that
we
can
help
to
really
encourage
more
production
in
the
city.
AB
If
you
look
at
the
diagram
below
you
can
see
from
some
from
the
second
Inception
of
the
program
that
the
target
was
at
2500
but
actual
we've
actually
produced
already
2185
new
or
preserved
units
to
date,
and
that's
the
yellow,
what
you
see
in
the
yellow
and
then
right
now
we're
seeing
up
to
787
new
units
in
the
pipeline,
which
is
the
blue.
So
we
are
looking,
we
think
we'll
probably
exceed
the
Target
in
probably
three
to
four
five
five
years.
AB
AB
AB
So
in
2022
we
released
to
our
rfps
one
for
affordable
and
Supportive
Housing
Capital,
that
includes
operations
and
maintenance
as
well,
and
then
we
also
in
that
same
summer,
we
released
in
our
RFP
for
the
behavioral
health
and
housing
related
services
in
October,
Human
Services
came
back
with
recommendations
for
the
RFP
for
the
behavior
health
and
Housing
Services
at
and
Council
awarded
1.5
million
to
16
different
applicants
during
the
fall.
Arch
worked
with
an
interdepartmental
staff,
and
we
met
about
four
times
to
kind
of
go
over.
AB
The
applications
I
think
we
received
four
applications
of
the
four
will
provide
a
recommendations
to
Council
in
a
couple
of
weeks
on
May
8th,
so
that
program
is,
has
been
really
seeing
a
lot
more
use
as
it
becomes
more
available
and
people
have
more
visibility.
So
in
the
second
year,
it'll
just
take
a
little
bit
of
time
for
that
for
that
program
to
ramp
up.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
James.
AC
Thank
you
Linda.
One
of
the
major
work
efforts
that
we're
undertaking
is
the
comprehensive
plan
periodic
update,
which
is
well
underway.
As
you
know,
with
the
draft
environmental
impact
statement
set
to
be
released
at
the
end
of
this
month.
The
is
examines
growth
centers
and
introduces
growth
strategies
to
increase
capacity,
housing
capacity
and
housing
choices.
There's
also
discussion
of
homelessness
and
the
relationship
to
our
approach
with
housing
and
Human
Services.
AC
AC
The
next
area
for
highlighting
highlighting
is
our
state
and
Regional
planning
work.
As
mentioned,
we
are
analyzing
additional
capacity
beyond
the
growth
Target
of
35
000
new
units
by
2044.,
as
we
continue,
our
work
with
the
state
and
County
on
our
housing
needs
allocations.
The
state
and
County
process,
along
with
the
2022
housing
needs
assessment,
will
provide
both
a
regional
and
a
local
approach
to
determining
housing
needs.
AC
Draft
numbers
for
Bellevue
in
the
state
and
County
Housing
allocations
process
includes
a
large
percentage
of
new
units
that
are
in
the
80
to
in
the
0
to
80
area.
Immediate
income
groups
we're
also
tracking
the
State
Legislative
process,
as
changes
could
have
implications
for
the
city,
growth
strategy
and
approaches
for
affordability,.
AC
Next
is
an
update
on
the
C1
Phase
2
work
following
council's
action
last
December
to
adopt
a
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
the
phase
two
land
use
code.
Amendment
work
began,
building
upon
the
phase,
one
density
bonus,
the
phase
two
land
use
code,
Amendment
would
rezone
certain
properties
owned
by
religious
organizations
to
allow
a
density
bonus
by
way
of
permanently
affordable,
multi-family
housing.
AC
And
lastly,
we
have
an
update
on
the
mfte
program,
since
last,
October
is
by
annual
update
two
new
applications
have
been
submitted,
which
brings
our
total
pipeline
total
unit
pipeline
count
to
200
275
units
under
the
mft
program,
and
in
addition
to
that,
through
future
projects,
we
anticipate
another
300
additional
mft
units
under
this
program,
as
we're
noticing
that
most
qualifying
properties
are
utilizing.
This
program.
AA
So,
thank
you.
Councilmember
Stokes
for
all
wrapped
up
with
our
presentation,
happy
to
answer
any
questions
or
hear
any
feedback
from.
B
Oh
great
I'll
start
thanks.
This
is
great.
So
you
know,
I
was
looking
at
the
goal
and
when
we
set
the
2500
housing,
affordable,
housing,
Unit
School
in
2017.
I
think
all
of
us
thought
that
was
a
pretty
aggressive
goal
and
I
am
so
pleased
to
see
that
we're
blowing
through
it
in
six
years
instead
of
ten
I,
think
that
eventually
we
probably
want
to
reset
that
goal
right
now,
with
the
average
production
of
495
a
year.
B
Although
it's
really
inconsistent
so
I
mean
we
could
potentially
do
almost
five
thousand
in
10
years,
especially
with
the
micro
units
and
such
coming,
we
might
even
exceed
that
I
I'm
curious.
What
happened
if
you
have
any
I
think
the
pipeline's
great
2019
we
had
produced
330
2020
904.
That
was
a
high
648
in
2021,
but
then
in
22
and
23
we
fell
off
to
double
digits,
again
46
and
22
and
92.
AA
Yeah
one
observation,
I
think,
might
been
a
little
bit
with
with
covid.
Another
biggie
is,
if
you
tally
up,
the
numbers
about
45
is
Preservation.
So
when
you
look
at
the
years
where
we
have
the
bigger
preservation
projects,
that's
going
to
sync
up
with
some
of
the
the
bigger
totals
by
year.
So
it
really
stresses
that
importance
of
trying
to
work
with
Partners
on
those
preservation
opportunities.
They
can
be
a
bit
quicker
to
actually
Implement
as
opposed
to
a
new
building
that
needs
to
get
planned
and
funded
and
built,
and.
B
They're,
cheaper
too
I
mean
preserving
an
existing
unit,
one
you
keep
people
from
becoming
homeless,
but
it's
also
a
lot
less
costly
than
building
new
I
would
like
to
see
when
we
have
multi-family
projects
coming
in
US,
encouraging
those
developers
to
apply
for
Grants
to
buy
Down
Deeper
affordability
with
the
1590
money.
I
think
that
that
would
be
again
when
someone
when
a
private
developer
is
building
it.
B
It's
less
per
square
foot
for
for
for
housing
than
it
is
when
a
non-profit
or
government
builds
it
just
because
of
public
bidding
laws
and
whatnot.
So
I
think,
to
the
extent
that
we
can
subsidize
whether
through
mft
or
direct
grants.
That
would
be
a
really
good
thing
in
the
future,
and
this
question
you
may
not
be
able
to
answer
because
it's
also
new
with
signed
sign.
You
die
only
happening
last
night,
but
with
the
comp
plan.
B
You
talk
about
some
of
the
things
that
you're
doing
discussing
missing
middle
since
now
that
we
know
that
house
bill
1110
has
passed
the
Adu
Bill
House,
Bill
1337,
and
the
existing
building
retrofit
to
residential,
which
is
House,
Bill
1042,
have
all
passed
and
are
assuming
will
be
passed,
will
be
assigned
by
the
governor.
B
K
U
AA
You
step
one
is
going
to
be
grouping
with
staff
over
the
next
week
or
two
to
look
at
the
final
form
of
the
bills
and
see
how
they
relate
to
our
existing
code
for
things
that
are
more
code
related
and
then
also
to
our
planning
that
we're
doing
in
the
comp
plan.
The
bills
that
we
were
tracking
most
closely
were
the
1110
missing
middle
Bill
5466,
the
Tod
bill,
which
did
not
advance
and
then
the
the
Adu
bill
as
well
I
just
to
abbreviate
our
process.
AA
That
will
take
some
time
to
do
we're
going
to
look
through
the
draft
environmental
impact
statement
and
the
different
Alternatives
that
we'll
be
discussing
in
the
next
study
session
tonight
and
seeing
what
elements
of
those
are
consistent
with
11
10.
So
some
of
the
areas
will
be.
We
were
already
planning
additional
missing
middle
and
also
looking
at
the
flexibility
that's
built
in
to
House
Bill
1110.
To
see
how
we
may
want
to
consider
that
in
our
city
as
well,.
B
Great
our
government
Affairs
director
Atkins,
is
going
to
become
a
planner
I
guess
she
didn't
know
that
planning
was
going
to
be
part
of
her
job
description.
Great,
that's
super.
Thank
you
for
the
great
presentation
really
pleased
with
all
the
work
your
Department's
doing.
You
guys
are
just
really
rocking
it.
M
Yes,
thank
you
Emil
Linda
and
welcome
James,
we're
glad
to
have
you
there's
a
lot
going
on
and
we're
glad
that
you're
part
of
our
team,
so
I
agree
with
my
colleagues.
I
think
this
is
a
really
exciting
time.
We're
getting
a
lot
done.
M
I
appreciate
getting
the
in
the
PowerPoint
the
update
about
the
housing
stability
program
and
that
we're
going
to
be
getting
a
feedback
back
on
the
applications,
because
you
know
the
1590
money
is
available
and
it
seems
like
we
haven't,
been
able
to
get
the
developer
Community
to
submit
viable
applications
so
that
we
can
take
advantage
of
those
dollars,
and
you
know
I
think
we've
talked
about
being
able
to
bond
against
future
Revenue
so
that
we
can
actually
move
forward
quicker
with
that,
because,
although,
as
I
read
the
pocket,
I'm
super
excited
about
the
work
that
we're
doing
I
am
still
concerned
that
in
attachment
a
if
we
look
at
what
has
been
built,
the
predominant
part
of
what's
in
here
is
Preservation.
M
So,
while
that's
really
good
we're
not
actually
adding
a
lot
of
inventory
if
I
count
all
the
numbers
up
in
here
and
I
I
would
also
like
to
suggest
that
the
shelter
beds
not
be
in
here
as
affordable
housing
because
they
are
emergency
beds
and
and
not
actually
affordable.
Housing
units
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
it
shows
Mary's,
Place
90
rooms.
Is
that
also
the
emergency
shelter
for
families?
Or
is
that
something
different?
So
that
was
one
of
my
questions
and
then,
as
I.
M
So
it
does
include
the
two
tods
that
omfe
and
130th,
so
super
excited
to
see
that
between
the
two
of
them,
we're
looking
at
you
know,
475
units,
although
I
am
concerned
about,
is
there
anything
we
can
do
to
to
look
at
that
affordability,
because
if
the
pipeline
coming
up
is
only
netting
30
to
60
or
60
to
80
percent
compared
to
the
last,
you
know
six
or
seven
years
where
it
looked
like
we're
getting
about
a
an
equal
mix
of
the
30
and
the
60
percent.
M
M
The
couple
of
questions
that
I
have
is
I
appreciate
the
timeline
with
some
of
the
different
next
right
work
pieces.
What
it
doesn't
have
in
here
that
I'd
like
to
understand
is
the
timing
for
item
five
is
not
doesn't
describe.
Let's
see
what
item
five
is
simplifying
the
permit
process
and
Expediting
permitting
for
affordable
housing.
M
So
can
you
give
us
a
an
idea
of
what
kind
of
timeline
it
is
for
that
and
it
sounds
like
the
C1
is
coming
back
to
us,
because
the
Planning
Commission
is
done
with
that,
and
so
so
yeah
there's
just
a
I
guess
for
me,
it's
really
moving
with
as
much
urgency
as
we
can
and
then
talking
about.
If
there's
any
other
strategies
to
get
at
that
zero
to
thirty
percent
Ami.
AA
Back
on
those,
we
have
been
trying
to
note
the
beds
as
separate.
It
was
a
bit
of
a
Vestige
to
the
to
the
affordable
housing
strategy
that
did
talk
about
the
shelter
bed.
So
we
thought
true
to
the
2017
strategy,
was
to
include
it
that
we
have
been
treating
it
separately
and
accounting
for
it
separately.
Clearly,
moving
forward
when
Council
sets
its
new
Target
in
the
in
the
fall,
you
can
have
discretion
on
how
you
want
to
set
it
up
and
track
things
so
we'll
take
that
into
account.
AA
M
And
as
I
understand
it,
unless
there's
been
an
update,
their
lease
is
supposed
to
be
up
here
in
the
next
couple
months,
so
whether
we
can
count
any
of
those
beds,
I
mean
I'm
actually
concerned
about
where
those
families
are
going
to
go
once
that
lease
is
up.
So
that's
why,
when
I
look
at
emergency
shelter
beds,
I
would
just
urge
my
colleagues
when
we
come
up
with
new
numbers
in
the
fall
that
I
I
don't
believe.
AA
AA
AA
It
may
be
that
in
council's
new
Target,
you
may
want
to
have
different
targets
by
Ami
level,
and
that
would
help
even
refine
that
Focus
for
future
years
relating
to
item
number,
five
I
know
the
development
services
department,
so
Liz
and
and
and
her
colleagues
are
working
on
that
right
now,
so
we
could
get
a
a
little
bit
more
refined
timeline
on
where
they
might
be
reporting
back
to
Council.
On
that
great.
A
Okay,
mayor.
D
Thank
you
really
appreciate
this
update.
I'm
glad
we're
having
it
more
frequently
I.
D
Remember
when
we
chose
this
goal.
It
wasn't
as
ambitious
as
we
wanted,
but
it
was
in
the
middle
and
it's
amazing
how
hard
it's
been
to
achieve
this
goal.
I
mean
we'll
probably
get
it
two
years,
maybe
before
we
intended,
but
we
still
had
to
work
really
hard
and
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
help
with
the
housing
preservation.
So
it
just
shows
you
how
challenging
it
is
for
a
city
to
put
in
policies
that
bring
in
affordable
housing.
D
I
hope
that
the
work
we've
done
is
somewhat
exponential,
that
it
it
creates
more
affordable
housing
as
the
years
go
on.
I
have
to
say
I'm,
sorry
to
disagree
with
council
member
Zan
on
this,
but
when
you
don't
count
preserve,
preserved
units,
you're,
not
you're,
the
older
units
that
are
being
preserved
are
units
that
would
have
first
of
all,
are
not
being
counted
as
affordable
housing
to
start
with,
and
second
of
all,
our
units
that
would
have
gone
on
the
market
would
have
disappeared
and
been
recreated
into
luxury
high-end
housing.
D
So
we
are
creating
new
permanent,
affordable
housing
with
housing
preservation,
so
I
definitely
think
it
should
be
counted.
I
love
the
idea
to
focus
on
numbers
in
the
different
affordabilities
with
our
next
when
we
start
recreating
our
goals
and
I.
Thank
you
for
that
advice.
H
Thank
you
so
much
for
updating
us
welcome
to
the
new
city
staff,
as
we
know,
of
our
housing,
affordable
housing,
especially
it's
very
important
to
all
of
us,
to
the
whole
region
to
the
whole
state.
You
know:
that's
why
the
state
I
just
teachers
are,
you
know,
involved
in
pushing
it
and
we
at
the
local
government.
Obviously
this
you
know
there's
something
that
we
have
to
provide
so
and
I'm
glad
to
see.
Also
that
we
have
made.
H
You
know
a
good
progress
and
we
established
a
goal,
2500
units
and
we
think
that
we've
exceeded
you
know
pretty
soon
and
so
we're
going
to
set
up
a
new
new
Target
I'm,
just
curious.
You
know
when
we
set
the
target,
do
we?
How
do
we
set
the
target?
Do
we
use
our
demand
locally,
or
do
we
set
the
target
based
on?
As
we
know,
the
state
is
mandating
us,
they
have
their
own
need,
as
we
know,
when
a
GMA,
so
the
county
has
needs
one.
So
how
do
we
differentiate
the
two?
H
So
I
want
to
know
that
and
that's
how
I
think
we
can
set
a
new
Target.
You
know
I
think
we
need
to
be
obviously
number
one
meet
our
demand
for
sure,
and
you
know
so,
and
we
have
tools
to
do
them.
I'm
glad
you
know
when
Linda
mentioned,
we
have
a
lot
of
tools.
The
question
is
the
tools
we
have.
What
kind
of
how
aggressive
the
target
is
what
we
have
to
do,
because
it
is
a
very
complex
topic.
H
You
know,
that's
why
I've
always
been
asking
questions
about
most
people
in
this
city
or
most
people
in
the
whole
state.
When
you
talk
about
photo
browsing,
they
don't
really
understand
what
do
they
mean?
What
do
we
mean
by
affordable
housing?
You
know
a
full
housing
to
different
people
means
different
things,
so
I
think
we
need
to
be
clear
because
we
need
to
explain
to
the
public
and
we
need
to
get
the
support.
We
need
to
get
the
understanding.
We
need
to
show
them.
H
You
know
the
needs
we
have,
because
we
get
lots
of
questions
asked
by
people.
So
why
is
setting
this?
Well,
we
don't
have
a
knee
foot,
so
we
do
have
a
need
for
that.
How
much
you
have
to
you
know
provide
for
that.
So
there's
a
lot
of
questions
asked
around
so
I
believe
that
we
need
to
be
clear
in
terms
of
you
know.
We
talk
about
further
voting
of
Ami.
We
talk
about
housing
for
the
middle
housing.
Talk
about
housing
for
aging
talk
about
housing
for
newcomers.
H
You
know
all
that
stuff,
so
I
sympathize
with
the
staff
when
we
council
members
start
talking
about
it.
We
talk
about
everything
under
the
Sun,
so
when
you
are
planning,
when
you're
figuring
out
what
to
do
when
you're
looking
at
tools
to
use
when
you're
setting
targets,
I
really
feel
feel
sorry
that
how
do
you
figure
out
what
you
are
looking
at,
what
you're
responding
to
you
know
we
give
all
kinds
of
suggestions
advices
right.
What
are
we
really?
You
know
explaining
to
you
what
really
you
want?
What
are
we
aiming
at
I?
H
Don't
know
sometimes
I'm
confused
myself,
so
I
think
it's
important.
When
we
talk
about
that,
we
need
to
focus.
We
need
to
answer
those
questions
clearly,
so
the
public
know
what
we're
talking
about.
When
we
say
we
have
a
Target,
because
we
got
questions,
you
remember
well,
you're,
how
do
you
decide
that
you're
in
Metro
targets?
Why
are
we
working?
What's
the
next
thing?
We
do
right,
so
we
need
to
explain.
H
We
meet
the
Target
because
of
that
and
so
on,
so
on
and
so
by
knowing
what
we
are
basing
our
Target
alarm
based
on
needs
are,
then
we
can
explain
to
people
we
can
understand.
What's
the
best
way
best
approach
to
satisfy
to
meet.
You
know
our
needs,
whatever
that
need
may
be
so
I
think
that's
important
to
me.
So
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
appreciate
what
you're
doing
what
we're
getting
and
we're
going
forward.
We're
meeting
our
goats.
H
That
goes
I
think
that's
good,
but
we'll
talk
about
35
000
Maybe
by
2044.
So
what
does
that
consist
of
right?
We
will
talk
about
2500
now,
maybe
35
or
35
000,
but
it's
more
than
10
years.
It's
you
know
pushing
over
and
a
20
years,
then
we'll
talk
about
what
am
I
we're
going
to
meet
and
all
that
stuff.
So
I
would
really
like
to
summarize
this.
What
the?
What
what
the
demand
is?
H
Are
we
looking
at
the
local
needs,
or
why
are
we
looking
at
State
mandate,
Regional
requirement
and
what
how
much
you're
going
to
meet
and
then
which
tools
are
we
using?
Are
we
using
for
what
purpose?
What
which
which
demand
are
returned
to
me?
And
what
goal
are
we
setting?
So
we
can
measure?
Are
we
meeting
the
Target
or
not
and
how
much
we
need
to
accelerate
or
how
much
you
want
to
do.
H
You
know
maybe
be
be
satisfied
and
be
meeting
our
goal,
so
I
think
I
I
would
like
to
know
that
and
the
service
demand
Supply
and
what
exactly
the
new
man
is
well
exactly
the
supply
will
be,
and
how
do
we
stimulate
the
supply
because
that's
important,
you
know
we
talk
about
two
tools,
I
hope.
The
tools
are,
you
know,
stimulating
supplies
without
supplies,
we're
going
to
be
stuck
we're
in
trouble.
So
I
always
look
at.
You
know
Supply
sites
important.
H
So
this
is
what
I
would
like
to
share
with
you,
and
maybe
I
can
get
some
of
those
clarification
for
me
and
if
I
get
it
and
I
hope
that
the
city
can
disseminate
to
the
public,
and
so
that
probably
has
a
better
understanding.
You
know
what
do
we
talk
about?
H
What
are
we
talking
about
and
how
do
we
meet
the
code
demands
and
how
do
we,
you
know,
go
forward
so
I
I
hope
that
that's
clear,
you
understand
what
I'm
saying
you
know
if
it
isn't
feel
free
to
talk
to
me,
okay,
yeah
thank.
AA
You
councilmemberly
very,
very
clear:
will
we
are
taking
that
approach?
We're
looking
at
both
the
state
county
need
the
Bellevue
need
that
we
did
in
our
Bellevue
needs
assessment
and
then
from
a
supply
side,
we'll
look
at
what
existing
tools
we
have
right
now,
including
some
of
the
next
right
work
tools
and
what
additional
tools
the
council
may
want
to
implement
in
the
future.
Thank
you
and
see
how
those
reconcile
yeah.
H
N
All
right,
let's
keep
it
brief,
because
I
think
my
points
have
already
been
made,
but
welcome
James
to
the
team
and
I
would
just
say
my
question
around
was
going
to
be
around
segmenting
by
Ami,
we're
already
measuring,
based
on
Ami
like
against,
like
different
Ami
levels.
N
So
I
would
agree
with
setting
targets
by
Ami,
because
I
think,
given
what
council
members
Anna
mentioned
in
terms
of
sort
of
seeing
where
the,
where
the,
where
it's
going
to
take
more
work
and
where
we
need
I,
think
having
that
focused
attention
by
Ami
will
help
us
drive
that.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Okay,
now,
I
think
this.
The
the
program
you're
set
on
here
is
very,
very
aggressive
and
good.
My.
A
What
I'm
concerned
about
is:
do
we
really
well
one?
We
need
to
come
to
some
agreement
on
what
we're
looking
for
what
we
talk.
What
we're
seeing
are
people
who
are
homeless
that
we
need
to
have
in-house
and
how
you
add
those
two
things
up
and
it
it
I
I
know
we
can
have
disagreements
about
the
Concepts,
but
I
just
have
a
hard
time
of
taking
people
who
are
living
in
a
house
living
in
a
place
and
when
that
house
maybe
changes
or
torn
down
or
something
they
have
another.
A
Like
you
know,
when
we
did
Highland
Village
Highland
Village,
we
saved
Highland
Village
for
those
people.
We
didn't
give
new
new
people
a
new
housing.
We
took
people
who
had
he
had
a
hundred
people
and
they
would
lose
their
house
and
yes,
we'd,
have
to
house
them,
but
we're
coming
in
and
saving
Highland
Village
kept
those
people
from
becoming
homeless.
A
And
if
that's,
what
we're
focusing
on
I'm
just
concerned
that
the
numbers
out
there
of
people
who
are
actually
homeless,
they're,
not
in
a
an
old,
beat
up
house
now
and
they
may
become.
You
know
somebody
there
could
be
out,
but
those
are
two
different
categories
and
we
need
we're
missing
what
I
think
is.
It
tends
to
kind
of
brush
over
the
people
who
are
out
there
in
tents
and
and
everything
who
need
help,
and
one
of
the
greatest
things
we've
done
is
is
over
just
you
know
recently
with
that
whole
housing
project.
A
What
do
we
really
need?
What
how
many
people
are
need?
Stability
need
a
house
and
I?
Don't
think
that's
a
hard
concept.
It's
just
really
I
think
it
just
has
a
tendency
for
us
to
think
if
we
do
250
houses
in
a
year,
new
new
housing,
mostly
apartments,
and
all
that
we've
made
a
great
goal
and
when
actually
there
are
hundreds
of
people
out
there
who
are
not
getting
housed
and
we
count
these
others
and
say
we
met
our
goal.
That's
that's
my
concern
with
that.
I
think
that's
a
fundamental
thing.
A
If
we
could
come
to
some
agreement
on
that
and
look
at
it,
what
I
think
is
realistically
what
there
are
other
opinions,
I
think
then
we
could
really
focus
on
and
we
I
think
it
it'll
make
us
understand.
We
need
to
do
a
lot
more,
but
we
can
really
focus
on
housing,
people
who
are
not
housed,
not
housing,
people
who
lost
the
house
but
for
circumstances,
and
we
yes,
we
need
to
keep
them
from
being
homeless,
but
the
homeless
people
now
are
the
ones
we
need
to
deal
with
or
who
become
homeless.
Without
that.
J
A
I
think
we're
doing
a
great
job
on
the
whole
thing
and
I
our
numbers
are
good,
I'm,
not
sure
that
actually
looking
at
other
cities,
looking
at
what
Seattle's
talking
about
and
all
you
look
at
the
paper,
the
numbers
we
have
down
here
are
actually
fairly
low
compared
comparatively
and
if
that's
all
we
have,
it
seems
like
we
could
actually
have
them
all
housed
pretty
quickly,
but
anyhow
I'm.
Just
that's
just
the
way.
I
I
view
it
and
I
just
think
it's.
AA
AD
AA
That
Nuance
about
the
unhoused
in
Bellevue
and
how
we're
doing
the
planning
for
them
yeah
I'd.
A
Like
to
know
how
many
are,
actually,
you
know
not
in
a
in
a
house
that
might
be
torn
down
sometime,
how
many
people
are
actually
homeless
out
there?
What
is
the
the
number
of
people?
You
know
if
we're
doing
45
of
the
people
come
of
preservation-
that's
great,
but
how
many
people
out
there
need
housing
that
don't
have
housing
and
and
probably
will
not
be
in
a
in
a
old
house.
You
know
a
old
house
or
something
anytime.
Soon
they
need
housing.
Now
they
can't
get
it.
A
So
that's
what
I'd
like
to
see-
and
we
can
focus
on
that,
but
I
think
we're
doing
great
I
mean
it's
really
good
and
I
I'm
very
pleased.
I
mean
it
was
exciting
in
1617
to
get
this
thing
done
and
we
were
out
there
ahead
of
you
know.
When
I
went
to
meetings
we
could
handle
these
out.
A
A
M
Health
members,
yeah
might
I
add
that
I
would
like
to
get
us
a
status
on
what's
happening
with
Mary's
place,
since
their
their
lease
I
believe
was
supposed
to
be
up
in
June.
Since
you
asked.
AB
I
A
A
I
The
next
item
is
I
know,
gets
to
stay
at
the
table
as
a
copy
is
a
plan
periodic
update,
as
well
as
the
Wilburton
Vision
implementation.
I
It
is
an
informational
update
again
on
where
we're
at
with
a
comprehensive
plan
periodic
plan,
as
well
as
Wilburton
Vision
implementation.
This
last
week
was
last
before
the
Council
on
December
22
and
at
the
table
tonight,
as
again
Emil
King
and
to
his
writers,
Tara
Johnson,
comprehensive
planning
manager
and
to
her
writers,
Janet,
show
strategic
planning
manager
all
from
the
Community
Development
Department,
and
that
I'm
going
to
hand
it
back
over
to
Emil.
AA
Thank
you
for
the
introduction
city
manager
and
again
good
evening,
mayor
and
members
of
council
tonight
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
the
the
long
range
plans
for
the
city
as
a
whole
and
Wilburton
and
give
you
a
status
update,
we're
going
to
be
looking
out
20
years
in
this
2044
Horizon.
We
do
update
this
plan
every
10
years,
so
the
last
time
we
did
this
was
in
2015..
AA
This
planning
effort
is
a
complex
effort
and
we
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
bring
the
council
up
to
speed
in
advance
of
the
draft
environmental
impact
statement.
That's
coming
out
later
this
month.
While
you
see
three
of
us
up
here
at
the
table
with
myself
and
Tara
and
Janet,
this
is
definitely
a
one
city
effort
where
we
have
a
lot
of
staff
and
consultant
assistants
on
this,
and
it
does
affect
every
Department
in
the
city
as
we
do.
These
long-range
plans.
AA
The
Briefing
tonight
is
information
only.
We
are
at
this
key
point
where
we're
going
to
be
releasing
a
fairly
voluminous
draft
environmental
impact
statement,
and
it
is
the
the
umbrella
technical
document.
That's
going
to
look
into
all
the
different
growth,
Concepts
and
ideas
that
came
up
during
the
scoping
and
from
the.
K
AA
AA
It's
a
little
bit
on
the
timeline.
This
is
the
Consolidated
timeline
for
the
comprehensive
Plan
update
and
the
the
Wilburton
Vision
implementation.
The
green
dots
across
the
top
are
the
points
where
we've
either
briefed
Council
or
we're
getting
direction
from
Council.
So
you
can
see.
We've
had
a
number
of
updates
with
you,
but
we
have
a
number
remaining
this
year
and
into
next
year
we're
about
at
the
midpoint
of
this
overall
process.
AA
In
2022.
We
really
focused
on
engaging
the
community
about
the
vision
for
the
city
and
reaffirming
the
the
Wolverton
vision
and
we're
now
to
now
at
the
point
where
we're
going
to
be
releasing
this
draft
Eis
as
we'll
go
into
in
the
presentation.
It
does
have
a
formal
45-day
comment
period
so
for
the
generally
the
late
April
into
May
into
the
early
part
of
June.
AA
Is
this
comment
period
for
the
draft
environmental
impact
statement
and,
following
that
comment
window
we'll
be
working
with
the
Planning
Commission
to
identify
a
recommended
preferred
alternative
that
will
then
forward
back
to
Council
in
July.
So
the
the
next
Milestone
after
tonight
with
council
is
going
to
be
that
July
council
meeting,
where
you'll
be
getting
a
preferred
alternative
recommendation
that
preferred
alternative
does
continue
on
in
the
environmental
impact
statement
process.
We
need
to
do
a
final
Eis.
That
does
look
at
any
additional
analysis
that
needs
to
occur.
AA
The
other
big
Milestones
on
this
this
calendar
are
bringing
the
Wolverton
plan
back
to
council
before
the
end
of
this
year.
So
the
commitment
we
made
to
the
council
and
the
community
was
to
to
wrap
up
the
plan
for
Wolverton
before
the
end
of
2023
and
our
our
Target
to
adopt
the
full
City
plan
by
May
of
2024
is
still
in
in
place.
So
this
is
our
our
overall
schedule
with
that
I'm
going
to
hand
it
off
to
Tara
and
Janet
they're
going
to
go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
our
work.
AE
Good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
council,
members,
Janet
and
I
are
going
to
sort
of
tag
team
through
the
remainder
of
the
presentation.
My
focus
will
be
on
the
Periodic
update
and
then
Janet
will
walk
through
the
Wilburton
components
as
well.
AE
Says
the
meal
indicated
we
have
started
off
with
this
process.
Last
year
we
went
through
a
fair
amount,
even
on
the
Eis
we
came.
We
came
forward
to
council
presented
you
with
what
we
call
growth
Concepts
last
July
really
used
that
as
kind
of
the
basis
for
our
scoping
process
with
the
Eis
that
occurred
last
September,
we
had
a
comment
period.
30-Day
comment
period.
AE
Last
October,
we
heard
a
lot
from
the
community
on
those
growth
Concepts
and
really
refined
those
Concepts
into
proposed
Alternatives,
which
are
being
analyzed
in
the
Eis
and,
as
we've
mentioned
a
couple
times,
the
intent
is
to
have
the
draft
Eis
issued
in
a
few
days.
Actually,
following
that
there'll
be
a
45-day
comment
period,
we
anticipate
having
a
couple
public
meetings.
AE
Of
course.
The
final,
the
last
step
in
that
in
the
Eis
process
is
issuance
of
the
final
Eis,
which
will
include
just
responses
to
all
the
public
comments
which
we
anticipate
we're
going
to
get
there's
a
lot
of
interest
already
in
this
entire
process.
So
so
a
little
bit
on
the
analysis.
That's.
AE
The
Eis
includes
a
no
action
alternative
and
then
three
action
Alternatives
we're
also
utilizing
this
approach
called
an
informed
build
out,
and
what
that
means
is
the
methodology
within
the
draft.
Eis
includes
an
analysis
of
all
potential
development
on
redevelopable
properties,
we're
also
studying
impacts
of
land
use
changes
within
the
three
action.
Alternatives
we're
looking
at
a
much
higher
capacity
than
our
either
our
growth
targets
or
what
we
have
existing
capacity
for,
but
with
the
assumption
that
that
is
not
necessarily
going
to
occur
by
2044.
AE
All
right,
so
we
also
wanted
to
highlight
some
of
the
comments
and
feedback
we've
been
hearing
from
the
community.
You
may
have
been
hearing
similar
comments
at
during
public
comment
at
various
meetings,
but
we've
heard
a
lot
about
concern
from
the
community
relating
to
both
the
amount
and
where
growth,
where
we're
looking
for
additional
growth
and
capacity
within
the
city.
At
the
same
time,
there's
also
recognition
that
the
cost
of
housing
in
Bellevue
is
pretty
significant.
So
how
do
we
balance
those
competing
interests?
AE
Concern
about
tree
canopy
and
tree
protection
as
we
look
at
analyzing
additional
capacity
and
growth
within
the
city
and
then,
of
course,
something
we
hear
a
lot
about,
which
is
traffic,
congestion
and
transportation
issues,
some
of
the
additional
pieces
that
we're
also
looking
at,
in
addition
to
purely
an
environmental
analysis,
we're
also
looking
at
for
each
of
the
Alternatives,
the
impact
on
air
quality
and
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
We're
also
looking
at
the
impact.
We
hear
a
lot
about
that
from
the
community
questions
relating
to.
AE
In
addition,
under
each
of
the
Alternatives,
we're
also
looking
at
an
equity
analysis
so
with
a
policing
and
Equity
lens
and
then
also
a
displacement
and
displacement
risk
analysis
tied
to
each
of
the
Alternatives.
Then,
as
we
talked
about
before
in
some
of
the
prior
presentations,
we'll
be
evaluating
the
impact
of
State
legislation
as
well
on
each
of
the
Alternatives.
Some
of
the
Alternatives
include
some
of
those
components
but
we'll
be
doing
a
deeper
dive
once
we
know
the
specifics
of
all
the
all
the
outcomes
of
the
legislation
as
well.
AE
So
we
hear
a
lot
from
the
community
as
we've
had
our
various
engagement
efforts,
which
we'll
talk
about
as
part
of
this
presentation
as
well
about
why
we're
analyzing
additional
capacity
and
you'll
see
what
those
numbers
look
like
too
one
is.
We
came
to
you
last
July
and
we
had
Council
direction
for
us
to
move
forward
and
analyze
additional
capacity
and
then
it'll
also
provide.
AE
It
also
provides
opportunities
for
us
both
from
a
market
demand,
Flex
standpoint
as
well
as
legislation
future
legislation
that
may
occur
as
well
as
Council
action
in
the
future,
so
provide
some
additional
flexibility
there.
AE
So
I
wanted
to
highlight
a
little
bit
about
the
location
of
capacity,
so
we'll
briefly
touch
on
where
we're
looking
at
additional
capacity
under
the
Eis
and
then
move
on
to
the
specifics
in
terms
of
numbers
before
we
do
that,
I
just
wanted
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
a
legend
or
just
highlight
a
few
things
what's
being
covered
in
each
of
these
maps
and
under
each
of
the
Alternatives,
because
there's
a
lot
going
on
so
under
under
the
Alternatives,
the
orange
areas
represent
what
we
are
calling
our
Urban
core,
which,
in
our
no
action
alternative,
which
represents
what
would
happen
if
we
were
to
make
no
changes
to
land
use
or
zoning
within
the
city
that
represents
downtown
Bel,
Red
and
East
Maine
under
the
no
action
alternative
and
then
under
Alternatives.
AE
One
through
three,
we
add
on
Wilburton
to
the
urban
core.
Each
of
the
alternatives
are
iterative,
so
they
add
on
to
each
other
under
alternatives
to
what
actually
one
two
and
three
the
dark
blue
kind
of
square
areas
represent
our
smaller
mixed
use,
centers
so
areas
like
Crossroads,
Factoria
and
Eastgate
under
Alternatives,
two
and
three,
the
white
dashed
lines
represent
our
areas
well
served
by
transit,
so
our
frequent
Transit
Network
and
then
the
red
circles
represent
our
neighborhood
centers
in
in
the
three-actional
and
the
two
actually
Alternatives.
AE
Two
and
three
in
terms
of
where
we're
looking
at
additional
capacity
under
alternative
one
we'd
be
adding
more
capacity
into
our
Urban
core,
our
mixed-use
centers,
and
where
we're
calling
gentle
density
in
our
single
family
areas
within
the
city.
So
the
yellow
areas
I
failed
to
mention,
represent
our
single-family
areas
within
the
city
in
alternative
to
we're.
Adding
On
and
Here
we'd
be
looking
at
adding
additional
capacity
within
our
neighborhood
centers,
as
well
as
areas
well
served
by
transit
and
then
under
alternative
three
everything
that
we've
covered
in
one
and
two.
AE
But
here
we're
looking
at
a
radius
around
our
neighborhood
center,
so
adding
additional
capacity
around
our
neighborhood
centers
and
then
each
of
the
Alternatives
looks
at
different
approaches
to
affordable
housing
in
alternative
one.
We're
looking
at
mandatory
inclusionary,
affordable
housing
in
alternative
to
we're,
looking
at
or
emphasizing
incentive
based,
which
is
what
we
currently
have
within
the
city
and
then
an
alternative
three
we're,
including
mandatory
inclusionary
voluntary
and
then
also
an
incentive
based
approach.
AE
So
here
is
a
little
bit
of
an
overview
on
the
numbers
and
the
capacity
we're
looking
at
the
no
action
as
I
said
before,
represents
what
we,
what
we
have
existing
capacity
for
what
would
happen
if
we
were
to
make
no
changes
with
land
use
or
zoning
within
the
city.
So
here
we
have
a
capacity
for
41,
000
housing
units
and
124
000
jobs,
but
our
housing
and
job
Target
established
Remains,
the
Same
across
all
four
Alternatives,
so
35
000
housing
units
and
70
000
jobs
and
then
so
on.
AE
AE
Also
wanted
to
highlight
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
the
numbers
here,
but
just
gives
you
a
good
snapshot
of
the
percentage
of
capacity.
That's
that's
being
analyzed
for
Wilburton
compared
to
the
remainder
of
the
city.
So,
as
you
can
see
under
the
under
housing,
we're
looking
at
a
range
of
15
to
18
percent
of
the
overall
city-wide
housing
capacity
is
allocated
or
we're
looking
at
for
Wilburton
and
then
similarly
for
jobs.
We're
looking
at
a
range
of
22
percent
to
25
percent
capacity
within
Wilburton
off
the
city-wide
overall
capacity.
AD
Thanks
Tara
and
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
council
members,
it's
I'm
pleased
to
be
here
tonight
with
Tara
And,
Emil
and
I
just
thought.
It
would
be
fun
before
I
launched
into
my
few
slides
to
recognize
that
today
is
essentially
one
year
from
when
we
were
before
you
launching
the
Wilburton
Vision
implementation
and
I
think
that
might
have
been
Michael
cotterman's
first
day
in
his
current
position
as
art,
Department
director.
So
anyway,
I
just
thought.
AD
That
was
a
fun
fact
to
to
note
before
I
proceeded,
but
it's
just
really
nice
to
be
here
a
year
from
the
launch
and
and
be
as
far
as
we
are
today.
As
Tara
and
Emil
have
mentioned,
it's
very
clear
to
you
all
that
the
Wilburton
Vision
implementation
work
is
being
done
concurrently
with
the
comprehensive
plan
periodic
update,
it's
been
great
to
be
able
to
do
the
work
in
concert
with
the
Citywide
Vision,
so
tonight
you're,
seeing
how
that's
that's
playing
out
to
date.
AD
So
this,
the
next
few
slides
I,
have
will
talk
about
the
Wilburton
Alternatives,
as
they
are
being
considered
in
the
draft
environmental
impact
statement
and
just
to
orient
you
we're
just
showing
all
three
of
the
proposed
action
alternatives
on
this
slide
up
above
each
of
those
Alternatives.
We
represent
the
development
capacity
for
housing
and
jobs
within
each
of
those
Alternatives
and
then
in
the
lower
right
hand,
corner
of
the
slide.
AD
The
reference
to
Alternative
zero
is
again
that
no
action
alternative
or
if
we
didn't
make
any
changes
that
would
be
the
capacity
for
housing
units
and
jobs.
We
would
see
within
the
study
area.
So
it's
a
point
of
comparison,
and
so
with
that
I'd
like
to
cycle
through
a
series
of
slides
just
to
show
how
the
three
Alternatives
compare
in
terms
of
the
proposed
approach
to
the
intensity
of
development
that
would
be
potentially
allowed
in
the
study
area.
AD
So
this
slide
is
just
highlighting
the
highest
the
areas
that
would
have
the
highest
intensity
of
potential
development
in
the
three
Alternatives
and
then
as
I
cycle.
Through
these,
you
can
see
how
they
differ.
Alts,
1,
2
and
three
in
terms
of
this
would
be
the
next.
The
the
next
area
of
the
kind
of
medium
blue
are
areas
that
would
allow
up
to
potentially
25
stories
of
for
new
development.
AD
These
areas
would
allow
up
to
16
stories
and
then,
finally,
the
lightest
blue
areas
would
be
areas
that
would
allow
seven
to
ten
stories
of
development,
so
just
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
these
alternatives
were
developed.
Just
as
a
refresher
alternative,
one
is
the
most
most
closely
aligned
with
the
citizen
advisory
committee
Vision
that
was
prepared
in
2018,
so
that
is
still
the
case
with
alternative
one
and
then,
when
we
move
into
alternative
two,
that
is
where
we
were
first
looking
at
ways
to
accommodate
additional,
affordable
housing.
AD
That's
a
clear
direction
we
received
from
Council,
and
that
was
supported
by
Planning
Commission
as
well,
so
in
alternative
2,
we're
looking
at
opportunities
to
allow
for
additional
housing
opportunities,
spread
relatively
evenly
throughout
the
study
area
and
then
compared
to
that
alternative.
Three
shows
a
different
way
of
achieving
roughly
the
same
amount
of
potential
capacity
for
housing
and
doing
it
in
a
slightly
different
way.
AD
Acknowledging
there's
interest
in
seeing
multiple
nodes
within
Wilburton,
the
the
alternative
one
or
the
original
Vision
acknowledges
more
of
a
central
node
and
then
in
alternative
three.
We
were
responding
to
comments
and
interest
we'd
heard
in
looking
at
additional
nodes
throughout
the
study
area.
Recognizing
it
is
a
300
acre,
roughly
300,
acre
area,
it's
a
pretty
large
area,
so
it
does
that.
It
also
responds
to
other
comments
we
heard
through
scoping.
Most
notably
you'll
see
an
alternative
three.
AD
There
is
a
larger
area
with
the
the
darkest
blue
associated
with
the
most
potential
for
and
intensity
of
development,
and
that
was
in
response
to
comments.
We
heard
for
additional
increased
opportunity,
basically
between
the
East
rail
Corridor,
which
is
that
green
wavy
line
that
runs
north
to
south
through
the
study
area
and
116th.
It
also
responds
to
inquiries
and
comments
we
received
about
studying
the
opportunity
for
potential
Redevelopment
around
Lake
Bellevue,
and
then
it
also
looks
at
additional
capacity
or
sorry
yeah
additional
capacity,
as
I
said
down
between
1,
16th
and
and
the
east
row.
AD
So
with
that,
I
also
wanted
to
provide
an
update
on
where
we
are
with
the
development
of
policies.
So
it's
a
progress
report
on
policy
development
for
Wilburton.
We
most
recently
presented
to
the
Planning
Commission
on
March
22nd.
Essentially
what
you
see
here
on
this
slide
and
we
presented
a
vision
statement
for
Wilburton,
along
with
the
identified
nine
topic
areas
for
policy
development
that
you
see
in
the
center
of
this
slide
here
and
those
are
essentially
aligned
with
what
we
see
in
other
sub-area
plans
throughout
the
city.
AD
As
we
move
forward
with
our
policy
development
work,
we
will
be
coming
back
to
planning
commissions
starting
in
about
a
month
with
further
development
of
draft
policies
along
these
different
topic
areas,
and
this
approach
was,
as
I
mentioned,
presented
on
March
22nd
to
Planning.
Commission.
AD
So,
along
with
those
policy
topic
areas,
we
have
also
identified
some
key
policy
moves
for
Wilburton
kind
of
the
big.
What
are
the
big
items
we
see
for
Wilburton
and
those
are
represented
here
on
this
slide,
that
is
making
sure
we
have
policies
that
are
clearly
recognizing
and
integrating
Grand
connection,
East
Rail
and
open
space.
AD
The
future
development,
noting
the
opportunities
for
Innovations
in
environmental
sustainability,
expanding
our
Housing
Opportunity,
both
diversity
and
affordability,
walkable,
bikeable
and
transit-rich
environment,
of
course,
and
then
supporting
unique
opportunity
as
well,
so
to
wrap
up
I
just
wanted
to
have
an
opportunity
to
just
share
with
you
some
of
the
Wilburton
specific
engagement
activities
that
have
been
underway.
I
also
like
to
recognize
that
we've
had
a
great
opportunity
to
collaborate
with
the
comprehensive
plan
periodic
update
teams
in
many
of
the
Outreach
and
engagement
activities.
AD
The
comprehensive
plan
team
has
has
put
in
place,
we've
been
able
to
share
and
gain
information
from
citizens
about
Wilburton
as
well.
So
that's
been
a
great
opportunity
and
in
addition
to
that,
we
have
had
an
engaging
Bellevue
presence
for
Wilburton.
We
had
a
questionnaire
live
through
the
end
of
the
year.
We
had
a
hundred
unique
responses
to
that
questionnaire
and
that
was
really
really
teed
up
to
basically
re-engage
and
actually
confirm
or
re
reconfirm.
AD
The
vision
that
was
established
in
2018
and
also
just
to
intentionally,
hopefully
get
communicate
with
more
people
in
community
about
the
Wilburton
implementation
effort.
We've
also
done
a
number
of
walking
tours
tabling
events
throughout
the
community.
We've
worked
with
our
Economic
Development
staff
in
our
office,
doing
some
small
business
canvassing
we've
had
presentations
to
community
groups
and
organizations,
including
the
BDA
chamber,
Eastside
housing
forum
and
others,
and
then
we
meet
monthly
we've
been
invited
by
a
property
owner's
monthly
meeting
group
to
to
come
and
meet
with
them
and
give
them
updates
along
the
way.
AE
Wow
too
far
here
we
go
so
just
wanted
to
highlight
some
of
our
community
engagement
efforts.
As
Janet
Janet
highlighted
some
of
the
conversations
with
the
community
related
to
Wilburton.
We've
had
a
number
of
Engagement
opportunities
with
the
community
over
the
over
the
last
few
months.
In
March
we
held
three
housing
forums
very
well
attended,
so
we
had
about
150
attendees
between
the
three
sessions.
One
was
virtual.
AE
We
also
have
had
a
number
of
focus
group
discussions
and
some
of
the
folks
we
connected
with.
We
had
a
focus
group
and
stakeholder
discussions
with
Mary's
Place,
both
staff
and
residents
there
on
the
Bellevue
School
District
family
Connection
staff
had
a
really
good
conversation
with
them.
Bellevue
college
students
we've
had
some
sessions
there.
AE
We
also
had
a
focus
on
Bel
Red
within
within
the
Spring
District,
and
then
we've
had
in
language
events
for
the
both
the
latinx
community
and
the
Chinese
community,
so
that
just
to
highlight
some
of
those
things
just
wanted
to
mention
some
some
of
the
topics
or
themes
we've
been
hearing
as
part
of
those
discussions.
What
we
heard
was
a
lot
of
people,
want
more
housing
options,
but
again
have
concern
about
where
that
density
is
going
to
go
within
the
city.
AE
We
also
heard
a
fair
amount
from
the
community
that
there
are.
You
know
there
are
certain
people
that
are
not
comfortable
with
seeing
change
and
the
growth
that
we're
looking
at
other
concerns
relating
to
tree
impacts
and
then
impacts
to
property,
values,
taxes
and
then
potential
costs
associated
with
the
need
for
increased
infrastructure.
AE
In
addition,
we
also,
we
also
conducted
a
statistically
valid
survey
and
that
was
focused
on
Bellevue
residents.
Here.
We
really
wanted
to
focus
on
understanding
what
residents
at
large
think
about
both
their
neighborhood
and
what
they'd
like
to
see
in
Bellevue
over
the
next
20
years,
as
we
plan
for
as
we
plan
for
the
future.
We
also
think
that
this
will
provide
guidance
for
both
the
Planning
Commission
and
Council.
As
you
start
talking
about
the
preferred
alternative.
AE
So
some
of
the
highlights
from
the
survey,
we
also
have
a
survey
dashboard,
which
I
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at.
If
you
have
the
time
provides
a
lot
of
data
and
metrics
on
the
results.
From
the
survey
we
had
about
1100
Bellevue
residents
that
took
the
survey
included
an
exercise
to
identify
aspects
of
an
ideal
neighborhood,
and
so
some
some
really
really
important
things
to
note.
AE
People
have
a
variety
of
needs
and
desires
within
their
neighborhood
and
really
recognize
that
and
there's
also
recognition
that
over
half
of
our
half
of
bellevue's
own
single
family,
as
you
can
see
from
this
from
this
graphic,
there's
definite
desire
for
more
of
the
low
scale
and
middle
scale
types
of
housing
within
Bellevue.
And
that's
something
we're
lacking.
AE
Let's
see
all
right
so
some
of
the
top
top
priorities
that
came
out
of
the
survey
home
ownership
for
so
affordable
home
ownership
was
a
big
priority
tree
canopy
issues,
as
you
see
me,
you
may
know,
and
then
really
walkability
and
providing
additional
amenities,
and
so
hence
the
that
really
jives,
with
some
of
the
Alternatives
we're
looking
at
with
our
focus
on
neighborhood
centers.
AE
67
percent
of
Bellevue
residents
also
support
new
Housing
Development
throughout
the
city,
so
they're
supportive
of
seeing
Bellevue
change
and
then
54
of
Bellevue
residents
support
new
Housing
Development
right
within
their
neighborhood,
and
what
we
found
were
the
biggest
economies
within
feedback
that
we
got
relating
to
opinions
were
occurred
across
age
and
homeowner
status.
So
we
really
looked
at
differences
in
opinions
between
renters
and
homeowners,
as
well
as
part
of
the
survey.
AE
AE
As
we
said
earlier
on
in
the
presentation,
we're
intending
to
have
the
draft
Eis
released
at
the
end
of
the
month,
we'll
be
having
Community
meetings
in
May
and
June,
as
well
as
conversation
with
the
Planning
Commission,
coming
back
to
you
in
July,
with
discussion
of
the
preferred
alternative,
we'll
have
Wilburton
policy
development
over
the
summer
and
fall
and
then
back
to
you
coming
back
to
you
with
a
recommendation
on
Wilburton
policies
before
the
end
of
the
year,
with
the
intent
of
having
a
comprehensive
plan
policies
as
well
ongoing
with
both
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
community
will
have
a
potentially
a
public
draft
for
the
community
to
review
in
the
fall
and
then,
following
that,
we
anticipate
bringing
bringing
the
policies
entire
draft
of
the
comprehensive
Plan
update
to
you
at
the
end
in
May
of
2024..
AE
A
N
Appreciate
the
overview,
I
guess
just
a
few
questions
just
for
the
sake
of
time,
so
for
the
key
policy
moves,
I
guess
is
where
most
of
mine
are
going
to
be.
One
of
the
things
that
we
had
talked
about
as
as
part
of
Wilburton
was
the
sort
of
community
building
and
was
curious
about
how
I
didn't
see
that
sort
of
reflected
in
the
key
policy
moves.
So
I
saw
like
if
we
could
maybe
go
back
to
the
slide
really
quickly.
Yeah.
N
Yeah
so
I
I
guess
I'm,
not
necessarily
seeing
sort
of
that
that
thread
of
like
how.
How
are
we
thinking
about
bringing
people
together
in
a
way
that
Fosters
community
and
one
of
the
ways,
of
course,
is
through
inclusive
amenities,
but
I
think
these
are
important
policy
moves,
but
I
think
that
talking
about
how
we
bring
people
together
as
a
key
policy
move
that
gives
that
area
Soul.
N
The
other
thing
we
had
talked
about
is
that
we
didn't
get
to
was
an
amenity
incentive
system.
So
I
was
just
curious
about
where
that
landed
in
terms
of
implementation.
Is
that
something
still
come
and
and
I
guess
in
terms
of
the
supporting
unique
economic
opportunities
I
saw
small
businesses?
Does
that
include
mom
and
pop
shops
looking
for
ways
to
incentivize
them?
Okay,.
N
My
last
point
and
I
raised
this
during
our
briefing
I
know,
the
survey
was
for
it
was
primarily
for
residents,
I,
think,
there's
a
lot
of
value
and
understanding
the
opinion
from
non-residents,
people
who
work
and
play
in
Bellevue,
but
don't
live
in
Bellevue,
for
whatever
reason
can't
afford
it
we're
displaced.
You
know
what
have
you
what's
what's
to
come
in
terms
of
understanding
that
perspective
as
well.
AD
AD
Thank
you
for
highlighting
that
I
guess
what
I'd
like
to
say
in
general
about
these
is
we
have
identified
what
we
think
are
kind
of
big
things
that
big
moves,
so
the
bringing
Community
together
I
think
certainly
could
we
could
certainly
add
that
here
it's
really
Incorporated
throughout
the
entire
breadth
of
work
and
you'll,
see
it
played
out
in
the
policies
as
they're
as
they're
developed.
AD
That
is
definitely
something
we'll
be
getting
to
when
we
move
into
the
Luca
phase
and
when
we
are
teeing
things
up
for
our
conversations
with
Planning
Commission,
we
will
be
sharing
with
them
at
the
same
time
how
they
will
how
these
policy
moves
or
draft
policies
will
inform
the
upcoming
Luca
work
so
we're
very
intentionally
trying
to
integrate
the
the
Luca
work
with
the
policy
work
as
we're
moving
forward.
So
that's
where
the
amenity
incentive
systems
discussions
would
take
place
in
considerations
and
then
finally,
the
mom
and
pop
shops.
AD
Yes,
that
is
definitely
considered
as
part
of
the
unique
economic
opportunities
and
we
could
debate
whether
that's
really
unique,
but
we
do
recognize
in
Wilburton
there
are
a
number
of
small
businesses
that
you
could
probably
say
are
Mom
and
Pop
shops
and
we'd
hope
there'll
be
more
and
that's
something
we
have
heard
in
community
engagement
as
well
that
there's
a
lot
of
interest
in
having
these
types
of
small
and
local
businesses
in
in
Wilburton
both
today
and
in
the
future
more
in
the
future.
Even
so,
with
that
alternative
to
you.
AE
Tara
great
so
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
that
question
about
Community
engagement,
and
we
we
touched
on
that
too.
In
the
briefing.
So
the
statistically
valid
survey
is
one
tool
that
we're
using
we've
been.
You
know,
since
we
launched
in
February
of
last
year,
we've
had
a
series
of
different
types
of
community
engagement
activities.
I
highlighted
some
of
the
some
of
the
engagement
opportunities
we've
had
with
with
some
of
our
underrepresented
communities,
so
engaging
with
Bellevue
School
District
staff
Mary's
place.
We
have
our
strategy
team.
That's
really
has
a
wide.
AE
You
know
really
wide
stakeholder
interest
from
non-profit
focusy
to
developers
and
so
just
a
really
wide
representation.
We
also
have
our
cultural
Outreach
assistants
that
have
been
assisting
us
with
really
getting
the
word
out
and
we've
had.
AE
You
know
a
number
of
events
in
different
languages,
so
those
are
kind
kind
of
our
tools,
we'll
be
having
a
lot
more
Outreach
over
the
next
few
months,
both
relating
to
the
Eis
draft
Eis
as
well
in
the
fall,
we're
anticipating,
you
know,
having
a
series
of
workshops
with
the
community
and
getting
a
lot
of
feedback
from
them
on
on
specific
policy
development.
So
that's.
What's
upcoming,.
H
You
well
done
good
job
Wilburton
as
I
think.
As
you
probably
know,
it's
very
important
peace
in
Bellevue.
It
connects
downtown
to
the
east
through
a
405.,
and
so
that
connection
is
critical.
We've
been
working
on
this
for
I,
don't
know
20
some
years.
You
know
because
we
need
to
we
put
in
this
in
Texas,
Tea
connection
and
and
we're
putting
a
lot
of
crossovers.
H
You
know.
So
it's
not
just
one
or
two,
it's
a
whole
bunch
of
them.
So
I
think
the
connection
is
definitely
key
because
we
want
to
connect
to
downtown
to
the
east
side
power
corridors.
Another
campaign
in
Powers
development
Corridor
is
connecting
Bellevue
through
the
Technology
Center.
You
know
we
talk
about
it
happen.
You
know
gix,
it
happened
that
T-Mobile
was
it
happened.
Mata
is
moving,
they
are
in
there
and
they
connect
to
the
other
end
Microsoft.
You
know
so
there's
a
lot
of
Technology
development
in
the
region
happening.
H
So
it's
very
key
connection
very
key,
so
you're
talking
about
connecting
not
just
people,
but
it's
just
the
whole
city
connected.
So
it's
a
very
important
piece.
So
I
we
we're
looking
for
work
to
be
connected
to
be
done
complete
a
long
time,
we've
been
kind
of,
unfortunately,
delaying
it.
H
So
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
get
it
done
by
the
end
of
this
year
because
in
the
meantime,
a
lot
of
pressure
on
developing
in
Bellevue
and
if
we
don't
have
a
clear
plan,
it's
going
to
be
bits
and
pieces
haphazard
coming
out,
and
it's
not
going
to
be
good,
because
people
are
looking
at
obvious
opportunity
for
Technology
Center.
That's
got
to
be
clear
that
what
we
plan
and
that's
clear
for
their
expectation
that
they
don't
you
know,
don't
fumble
around.
We
have
to
know
what
we
want
and
I.
H
Think
Grand
connection
is
a
very
wonderful
piece
that
you
know
adds
value
to
the
connection.
It's
very
unique
it
provides
like
you
know.
A
lot
of
people
talked
about
I,
believe
the
mayor
and
John
being
here
for
a
while,
you
know
it's
a
the
sustainability
is
walkability.
We
have
the
Israel,
you
know
it's
all
something
that
can
really
showcase
the
connector
being
people
bring
business
and
also
the
location
of
it
is
right
off
405..
H
So
it's
very
convenient
to
get
on
and
off
division
of
Bellevue
50
years
ago
our
first
planning
commit
planner
planning
director
I,
don't
know
whether
he
still
remembers
his
name.
You
know
his
vision
is
right
there
at
the
intersection,
Northeast
8th
and
one
six
112
116.,
that
is
the
center
of
Transportation
mode.
All
the
original
companies
get
there.
Then
it
gets
distributed.
You
know
into
downtown
at
that
time's
downtown,
but
now
we're
talking
about
connecting
the
east
side.
So
there's
a
lot
of
ideas
about
Innovation
news
possibilities.
H
I
like
the
way
you
say
unique,
economic
opportunities,
because
that
is
future.
That's
technology,
so
I
think
it
really
makes
a
big
big
thing.
It's
a
big
Vision,
I'm
glad
you're
talking
about
it
and
we're
making
these
pieces
fit
both
sustainability,
diversity,
environment,
housing,
power
record
is
already
built.
With
that
in
mind,
don't
forget
and
transportation
system.
Light
Rail
already
comes
right
through
it,
so
it
really
fits,
but
Wilburton
has
to
be
connecting
it
together.
If
Wolverton
doesn't
connect,
all
those
are
going
to
be
just
pieces
separating
sticking
out
there.
H
A
You
good
job,
yeah
I,
just
want
to
say
just
real
briefly
I.
This
is
really
great.
A
You
know,
I
appreciate
this
very
much
and
I
like
the
approach
you're
taking
and
the
I
think
it's
a
good
example
of
how
we
can
really
get
out
and
and
communicate
with
the
community
on
this
when
I
first
saw
this,
and
it
said
okay,
what
150
people
you
know
we
talked
to
and
all
that's
that's
cool,
but
we
have
5
150
000
people
here
and
you've
done
I
think
showing
a
very
great
way
to
and
what
it
takes
to
get
to
communicate
with
people
all
up
and
down
the
line.
A
I
mean
this
is
an
amazing
amount
of
work,
you've
done
to
get
out
and
survey,
and
we
use
surveys
all
the
time
we
don't
talk
to
people
and
I
think
a
lot
of
times.
We
we
just
it's
such
a
burden.
We
kind
of
not
end
up
doing
it
as
comprehensive
as
we
can
to
me
what
I've
seen
is
just
amazing,
so
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
this
and
Wolverton.
Is
it's
going
to
go?
It's
going
to
be
really
good
and
you're
doing
a
great
job
on
that
I
appreciate
that
mayor
Robertson.
D
Thank
you,
I
just
feel.
W
D
Fortunate
that
we
are
council
members
in
a
city
like
this
we're
one
of
the
most
educated
cities
in
the
country,
and
you
can
just
see
the
how
valuable
the
input
is
from
everybody,
I'm
really
honored
to
be
a
part
of
this
I-
would
hope
that
we're
looking
outside
of
the
box
with
Wilburton
I
think
it's
one
of
the
rare
opportunities
we
have
in
Bellevue
to
be
a
truly
walkable
community
and
I
hope
that
we
can
consider
having
some
kind
of
a
car
free
Village.
D
Somehow
somewhere
in
there
I
know
it
would
be
for
everybody,
but
we
have
we're
walking
distance
to
three
different
Light
Rail
stations.
It
has
East
Trail
going
right
through
it
and
it
will
have
the
grand
connection
going
right
through
it
as
well.
So
I
think
there's
an
incredible
opportunity
to
do
something
unique.
There
also
I
have
a
question,
so
it
used
to
be
that
when
we
talked
about
Jobs
versus
housing,
a
job
equal
one
office,
space
or
one
office
unit
and
I-
don't
think
that's
the
case
anymore.
D
So
I'm
wondering
when
we
project
how
many
office
units
we
need
for
the
amount
of
jobs
coming.
Have
we
made
any
adjustment
to
that
calculation
and
is
it
possible
to
go
with
the
aggressive
alternative
three
for
the
housing,
with
all
the
different,
affordable
ways
of
getting
the
affordabilities
without
that
much
office
space
as
well?
AE
Maybe
start
with
a
with
a
second,
and
maybe
a
meal
can
can
add
on
on
the
on
the
office
space
ratio,
with
the
preferred
alternative
it
can
be
a
hybrid,
so
it
can
be
aspects
of
alternative
one
or
two
combined
with
three,
and
so
that's
really
going
to
be
part
of
the
public
dialogue.
It's
going
to
be
part
of
the
conversation
with
the
Planning
Commission
and
the
council.
You
know
really
determining
what
is
the
best
fit
for
Bellevue.
What's
the
vision
and
what's
your
what's,
the
estab?
AE
A
Okay,
councilman.
D
A
AA
Yeah
mayor,
are
you
interested
in
the
the
square
footage
that
we
attribute
to
to
jobs?
Are
you
looking
for
the
mix
of
housing
units
to
jobs
that
we're
using
for
planning.
D
I
I'm
just
saying
that
it
we
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
you
and
it
seems
like
the
equation
of
one
person
per
office,
is
no
longer
accurate
and
I'm
wondering
if
we're
making
any
adjustments
when
we
think
of
it.
Maybe
it's
one
office
space
for
every
two
employees,
I,
don't
know,
but
are
we
considering
that
so.
AA
Two
things
going
on
there
I
think
the
the
first
one
is
thinking
about
the
amount
of
space
we
need
for
jobs
in
the
city.
So,
as
Tara
pointed
out
some
of
this
market
dynamics
of
what
we're
going
through
and
what
Office
Buildings
need
to
house
office
workers,
that's
a
dynamic
that
is
shifting
a
little
bit
right
now,
so
keeping
ahead
a
heads
up
on
that
this
Eis
think
of
it
as
the
environmental
umbrella
under
which
we
can
look
at
different,
hybrid
approaches.
So
we're
we're
casting
a
very
wide
net
on
this
environmental
review.
AA
M
Yes,
thank
you.
M
Zero
to
you
know,
9,
200
or
14
000
I
think
is
tremendous
because
it
is
quite
unique
in
terms
of
the
kind
of
amenities
and
the
vibe
and
feel
of
that
community.
So
I
guess
my
my
thought
is
that
then,
as
we
look
at
the
policy,
key
policy
moves
I
agree
with
my
colleagues.
What
I
don't
see
in
here
is
a
comment
about
Community,
Connection
and
and
building
that
Vibe
I
see
a
lot
of
other
things
in
here
and
then
the
unique
economic
opportunities
I
really
think.
M
AE
I
can
I
can
address
our
interaction
with
the
with
our
Dei
groups,
so
they're
they're
working
with
us
very
closely.
So
looking
at
all
our
policies,
as
I
said,
the
Eis
is
looking
at,
is
placing
an
equity
lens
on
each
of
the
Alternatives.
We're
also
doing-
and
this
is
part
of
the
requirement,
but
something
we
also
felt
very
strongly.
Equity
is
a
Cornerstone
of
the
up
of
the
periodic
update
and
so
RDI
group
is
actually
working
on.
AE
You
know:
what's
a
definition
for
Equity
within
the
city,
that's
sort
of
there
under
their
umbrella
and
work
program,
but
we're
also
doing
a
racial,
disparate
impacts,
which
is
guidance
from
Commerce
and
requirement
on
a
houseboat,
1220
and
so
they're.
Reviewing
that.
So
that's
going
to
be
a
separate
sort
of
document
and
report
about
how
we
move
forward
and
address
displacement
issues
within
the
city,
so
they're
working
very
closely
with
us
on
all
of
those
various
pieces.
They'll
also
be
assisting
us
with
with
review
of
policies
as
we
move
forward
to.
B
Three
minutes
I'll
just
say
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
think
that
the
key
policy
moves.
I.
Think
all
of
these
things
are
things
that
lead
to
creation
of
community.
It
just
doesn't
have
those
words
on
that
slide.
So
I,
you
know,
you
I
think
it's
still
at
the
center
there,
it's
just
Unwritten,
so
more
power
to
you.
I,
look
forward
to
engaging
and
having
the
gavel
drop
in
30
seconds.
Thank
you.
