C
A
Well,
I'm
very
pleased
to
say
that
we
have
a
commendation
tonight
for
somebody
who
is
a
well-known
name
in
our
community
for
many
many
years
and
I.
Think
all
of
us
who
live
in
Bellevue
for
the
last
20
years
have
bought
produce
when
this
man
was
selling
it,
and
we
are
here
to
commend
him
tonight
and
council
member
Lee.
It
was
your
recommendation,
so
I
would
like
you
to
read
the
Commendation.
Please
thank.
D
You
Amanda
Mia,
it's
my
patch
indeed
to
celebrate
your
Pace's
life
and
also
to
commemorate
what
he
has
done
for
the
community.
And
so
it's
my
Patcher
to
read
the
following:
where's
Bill
Pace,
a
long-term
city
of
Bellevue
resident,
passed
away
in
late
2022
at
the
age
of
92..
D
He
loved
a
rich
Legacy
through
Decades
of
channeling,
his
energy
into
serving
neighborhoods
and
the
entire
city
and
whereas
bills
so
produced
in
Bellevue
for
68
Years.
First
selling,
peaches
out
of
the
back
of
his
station
wagon
in
the
parking
lot
of
the
Boise
Cascade
lumber
yard,
where
he
was
a
sales
manager
and
later
operating
a
Fruit.
Stand
and
vegetable
stand
at
the
Mercer
slew
blueberry
farm
for
13
years
and
whereas
he
also
operated
a
cafe
and
produce
market
in
the
Newport.
Hills
shopping
center,
contributing
to
an
effort
to
revitalize
the
shopping
center
and
neighborhood.
D
And
whereas
bill
was
a
Bellevue
Kiwanis
member
for
Life,
serving
as
a
divisor
to
the
key
clubs
at
Newport,
High,
School
and
Sammamish
High
School,
and
he
regularly
supported
Highland
community
center
programs
for
people
with
disabilities.
And
whereas
friends
describe
Bill
as
the
kind
of
person
who
would
give
you
the
shirt
of
his
back
in
the
middle
of
a
snowstorm
and
whereas
we
are
grateful
for
his
service
believe
in
the
community
and
time
and
steadfast
commitment
to
the
resident
of
Bellevue?
A
E
Right
well,
yeah,
yeah
I'll,
just
like
to
say.
Thank
you
very
much
for
this.
This
tremendous
honor,
you
know
I'm
sure
bill
would
be
very,
very
proud
of
all.
He
was
happy
to
service
community
and
every
capacity
he
he
loved.
F
E
And
with
aquanus
and
trying
to
give
back
to
the
community
and
yeah,
he
loved
he
loved
what
he
did,
everything
he
did
in
the
produce
and
the
business
and
interacting
with
all
the
customers.
You
guys
and
everybody
else
here
in
Bellevue,
and
that
would
come
from
from
a
from
afar
as
well
to
Patron
our
the
market,
and
you
know
he
loved.
You
know
to
love
doing
all
that
so
yeah.
He
would
be
very
honored
sure,
yeah
and
yeah.
A
A
B
Thank
you
mayor
this
evening.
There
are
five
pre-registered
speakers
and,
as
usual,
I
will
remind
everyone
that
oral
Communications
is
for
a
period
not
to
exceed
30
minutes,
and
each
speaker
will
be
allowed
three
minutes
to
speak
and
only
three
speakers
will
be
allowed
to
speak
to
any
one
side
of
a
particular
Topic.
I
Great
good
evening,
mayor
Robin,
standing
council
members
on
behalf
of
the
Bellevue
Chamber
I'd
like
to
testify
this
evening
in
strong
support
of
the
proposed
coordinates
that
would
extend
various
permit
timelines,
as
outlined
in
the
staff
materials.
For
this
evening,
the
development
Community
has
been
negatively
affected
by
factors
such
as
rising
interest
rates,
inflation
and
uncertainty
in
the
status
of
return
to
work.
I
Extending
the
life
of
these
permits,
especially
for
projects
that
have
slowed
considerably
due
to
such
factors,
would
create
flexibility
in
seeing
these
projects
to
their
full
completion.
As
the
market
stabilizes
I'd
also
like
to
emphasize
the
critical
nature
of
timing
for
this
policy,
while
other
areas
of
the
permitting
process
can
be
addressed
at
a
later
date.
Taking
Swift
Action
Now
can
make
all
the
difference
in
the
number
of
viable
projects
in
Bellevue,
given
the
current
economic
climate,
we're
very
proud
to
stand
with.
I
B
J
J
I
will
I
will
try
to
whisper
if
I
comments
here.
Thank
you
very
much
for
I'm.
Sorry,
I
can't
be
there
with
you
in
person.
Yeah
we've
all
been
through
these
Cycles
before
and
here
we
are
again
and
I.
I
commend
historically
the
city
council
for
taking
action
in
the
past
during
cohut
during
a
Great
Recession
to
deal
with
the
kind
of
issues
you
were
trying
to
address
now.
So
we
have
been
working
closely
with
your
wonderful
staff,
with
Greg
Shader,
your
building
official
with
Matt
McFarland.
J
Let's
see
the
attorney's
office
to
try
to
craft
a
a
proposal
that
that
can
be
acted
on
quickly
right,
and
so
we
took
our.
We
took
our
direction
from
what
the
council
had
done
before
not
try
to
raise
any
new
major
policy
issues
but
tried
to
identify
some
important
extensions
that
could
be
granted
quickly
by
the
council
to
provide
some
breathing
room
for
these
projects
and
I.
Think
that's
what
you
have
in
front
of
you
today.
J
I
can
assure
you
that
we've
been
coordinating
with
virtually
all
of
the
major
developers
in
downtown
and
in
the
growth
centers
in
in
the
city.
With
regard
to
this
they're
all
watching
closely,
they
all
endorse
this
effort.
They
applaud
the
work
that
the
city
has
done
in
this
regard,
to
give
them
a
little
more
Runway
to
get
to
the
other
side
of
whatever
we're
dealing
with
here
and
there.
J
There
are
undoubtedly
some
other
issues
that
we
could
take
up
to
provide
additional
flexibility,
but,
as
I
said,
we've
tried
to
work
this
piece
of
legislation
in
the
way
to
to
provide
a
scope
that
can
be
acted
on
quickly
and
if
there
are
other
larger
changes.
Other
issues
that
should
be
addressed
then
I
think
those
are
discussions
that
we
can
continue
in
the
days
and
weeks
and
months
ahead.
J
Obviously,
the
council
has
the
opportunity
to
to
take
other
action
in
the
future
as
may
be
warranted,
but
this
is
an
important
step
and
I
think
will
be
applauded
as
I
say
by
all
of
those
who
are
watching
and
waiting
to
see
how
we
get
through
this
particular
phase.
So
we
appreciate
your
your
pick
action
on
this
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
If
you
have
thank
you
very
much,.
K
Right,
thank
you.
I
I
want
to
speak
tonight
mainly
about
the
request
for
remote
access.
I
think
it's
something
that
should
be
normalized
this
week
is
sunshine
week
where
we
celebrate
open
government.
So
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
look
at
your
open
government
policies
and
to
encourage
more
remote
access
so
that
at
a
time
for
climate
emergency
people
can
work
from
home,
participate
in
civic
affairs
from
home
and
actually
ride
transit
to
Transit
board
meetings.
K
Instead
of
in
the
case
of
several
board
member
Transit
board
members
at
a
different
Transit
north
of
King
County
said:
oh
I
have
to
go
to
PUD
meeting
I
have
to
go
to
the
transit
meeting.
I
have
to
go
to
NY
city
council
meeting,
so
remote
access
is
really
important
and
this
Friday
we
are
honoring
the
the
mudger
of
house,
Builder
229,
which
last
year
allowed
for
remote
access
at
Emily
Wicks,
that's
washingtoncog.org.
If
you
want
to
get
a
ticket,
also
I
can't
help
but
say
you
know.
K
When
we
advocate
for
open
government,
we
don't
advocate
for
hate
speech
or
silency
voices
for
the
expression
of
hate,
and
you
do
have
a
troubled
individual.
In
your
audience,
who's
under
PDC
investigation
again
in
part
because
of
his
abuse
of
public
comment
and
I
just
want
to
draw
that
line
delicately
this
evening,
I
wish
the
community
well
and
I
hope
you're
able
to
enjoy
Sunshine.
K
We
can
participate,
as
you
see
appropriate
and
I,
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
awesome,
continued
Public
Service
as
council
members
and
mayor
and,
of
course,
staff
I.
Don't
think
you
hear
that
enough
from
the
open
government,
community
and
I
think
that
needs
to
change,
because
we
can't
have
these
remote
access
and
community
building
events
without
world-class
support
staff.
So
thank
you
for
all.
You
do
thanks.
L
Dear
city
council,
you
might
have
heard
of
Coal
Creek
a
trail
close
to
Cougar
Mountain
Wildlife
Preserve.
You
might
already
know
by
now
that
a
developer
is
building
35
houses
in
Coal
Creek.
These
are
the
reasons
I
think
we
shouldn't
build
houses.
There
first
is
the
waterfall.
The
waterfall
is
about
10
minutes
away
from
the
entrance
to
the
hiking
area
and
close
to
the
entrance
of
the
proposed
houses.
There
are
so
many
wonders
of
the
waterfall,
including
a
few
salmon
in
the
river.
L
Sometimes
a
salmon
run
is
when
some
salmon
are
at
the
end
of
their
life
cycle
and
are
ready
to
reproduce
they
go
from
the
Pacific
Ocean,
all
the
way
back
to
their
destination.
The
salmon
hatchery
the
runs
are
already
dangerous,
with
eagles
snatching
them
out
of
the
water
and
bears
ready
to
go
into
a
river
to
get
food
with
35
houses
near
the
river
and
polluting
it.
The
salmon
will
have
a
harder
journey
to
complete
another
wonder
of
the
waterfall
is
the
waterfall.
It
has
a
platform
underneath
it
which
allows
us
to
walk
on
it.
L
There
are
some
rocks
on
a
falling
log
to
help
you
on
your
way,
but
with
houses.
It
ruins
the
view
of
the
sky
behind
the
waterfall
there's
also
a
relaxing
Ambience
within
within
the
water,
impacting
the
platform,
the
waves
hitting
the
log,
the
rocks
and
the
animals
living
around
it,
and-
and
in
conclusion,
these
are
my
reasons
why
I
know
why
we
shouldn't
build
houses
in
Coal
Creek.
Thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
listen.
C
Dear
city,
council,
I
really
hope
you
can
save
Coal
Creek
one
of
my
favorite
Parts
about
Coal
Creek
is
the
nature
and
the
great
things
you
can
find
there.
For
example,
I
went
on
a
hike
with
my
metal
detector
and
found
this
little
metal
disc.
There
is
also
a
cool
log
area
with
a
log
that
I
love
to
climb
on
I
love
the
plaque
that
talks
about
how
Railways
used
to
carry
the
coal
from
the
mines.
C
The
caves
are
so
cool
to
look
into
and
think
about
what
it
would
be
like
to
go
in
there.
If
they
tear
out
65
trees,
it
would
disrupt
the
natural
flow
of
the
wildlife.
A
tree
that
falls
is
Forest
is
food
for
bugs
and
the
bugs
become
food
for
other
animals.
Finally,
Coal
Creek
is
free
roamish.
If
the
houses,
if
there
are
houses,
I,
would
be
afraid
of
trespassing
on
them.
It
would
also
disrupt
the
flow
of
a
calming
lock
with
a
big
luxury
house
in
front
of
you.
C
B
A
M
My
dirty
Nazi
pig
from
animal
farmer,
crook
a
criminal
in
bandida,
my
name
Alex
Zimmerman
I-
can
do
that
for
ship
to
the
Moon.
A
man
spoke
about
something,
but
this
made
me
totally
sick
because
how
many
idiot
and
crook
work
for
US,
Government,
I,
think
hundred
percentage,
maybe
120
I'm
not
too
much
sure
about
this
yeah,
so
I
got
to
call
Bellevue,
School
Board
start
speaking
and
after
five
seconds
they
take
me
out.
M
Yeah.
Give
me
trespass
for
six
months,
yeah,
so
situation
right
now,
very
simple,
because
I
think
in
they
have
too
many
problem
and
try
kill
almost
thousand
babies.
Yes,
yes,
my
opinion.
They
look
like
a
Nazi
concentration
camp.
This
is
okay,
so
six
policemen
come
and
they
give
me
few
trespasses.
M
So
I
complain
to
these
trespasses
because
I
have
right
appeal
to
to
Park
and
Recreation.
Is
this
crook?
You
know
what
this
means
give
me
today
answer
there's
no
sign.
Nobody
decides
this
and
I
spoke
with
manager
before
for
20
or
30
years
thousand
times
he's
a
responsible
for
crooking
you
mayor
in
three
times
in
a
row.
You
know
what
is
mean
you're
responsible
too.
Look
what
they
did.
You
know
what
is
mean.
They
don't
give
me
answer
of
my
appeal:
they
absolutely
hundred
percentage
crook.
So
how
is
this
possible
35
years?
M
I
live
here
and
I
cannot
find
one
and
as
men
who
work
for
government
you
supposed
to
be
sitting
in
this
chamber
for
10
20
30
years.
How
is
this
possible?
Can
you
explain
to
me
this
happened
with
school
board.
This
happened
with
crook
under
manager.
You
know
what
is
mean
who
crook,
by
definition,
because
I
complain
to
him
for
many
years
dozen
times
it's
never
working
so
situation.
Right
now,
very
simple.
M
You
know:
I
demand,
investigation,
I,
demand,
School
investigation,
because
50
percent
of
children
right
now
under
stress
immensely,
is
sick,
His,
official
public
and
quality
of
teaching,
followed
by
Tory
protonic
EU
citizen
chamber
for
a
dozen
years.
This
not
happen
for
one
year
or
for
one
month.
This
happened
because
you
dirty
kuruk.
You
know
what
this
mean
never
doing
about
us:
children,
eighteen
thousand
children.
They
brainwashed
I,
leave
her
25
here.
So
not
surprise
me!
So
two
generations
of
children,
they
brainwash
so
85
percentage
vote
for
Democrats
same
percentage.
M
B
G
G
Good
evening
council
members
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
accommodation
of
Bill
Pace
tonight
and
I,
especially
wanted
to
thank
council
member
Lee
for
getting
that
started
and
making
sure
that
that
happened.
You
beat
me
to
the
punch,
because
I
was
going
to
submit
that
I've
been
thinking
a
lot.
I
I
love
the
pace
family.
G
They
became
my
family
at
a
really
important
time
in
my
life
and
I.
Just
feel
that
the
city
of
Bellevue
is
a
much
quieter
place
without
Bill
Pace.
Here
he
was
a
man
with
a
wry
sense
of
humor,
a
big
laugh
and
a
big
heart.
G
You
know
there's
too
many
things
to
list
that
he
did
for
this
community,
but
I
am
always
eternally
grateful
for
what
the
pace
family
did
for
Newport
Hills
bill
was
somebody
who
believed
in
Taking
Chances
on
people
and
places
he
took
a
chance
on
Newport
Hills
and
for
two
glorious
years.
We
had
a
gathering
place
that
we
have
not
had
since
I
miss
it
very,
very
much
I
miss
the
pace.
G
Family
very
much
I,
just
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
that
and
and
to
say
that
I
am
somebody
who
will
never
forget
Bill,
pace
and
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
people
around
the
city.
Who
will
never
forget
him,
so
thank
you.
B
Thank

There

two
additional
hands
online

We

each
person
once
and

second
hand
is

S
Patrick.
Can

hear
me.
N
Yes,
can
you
hear
me.
N
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Patrick
sathyanathan
long
time
resident
of
Bellevue
I
have
three
questions
for
you
this
evening.
One
I
mean
two
involving
policing
in
Bellevue
and
one
involving
public
participation
in
these
meetings.
My
first
question
is:
I
am
repeating
from
my
LA
from
the
last
meeting.
Why
don't
Bellevue
police
have
body
cameras
that
would
prevent
them
from
making
stuff
up
on
incident
reports.
I
have
several
fine
examples
of
creative
writing,
which
I
will
not
go
to
go
into
in
detail.
N
I
am
trying
to
deal
with
them
legally,
which
leads
me
to
my
second
question.
Oh
and
by
the
way
the
last
police
officer
I
asked
this
question
to
said.
City
council
did
not
allocate
budget
okay.
That
leads
me
to
my
second
question.
N
I
heard
in
the
last
meeting
that
you
are,
you
are
budgeting
for
additional
police
officers,
but
you
don't
seem
to
have
a
proper
office
of
accountability.
Yet
from
what
I
can
gather.
Having
submitted
complaints
to
the
office
of
accountability,
it
is
one
police
officer
who
puts
on
his
office
of
accountability
hat
for
a
couple
of
hours
a
week.
That's
my
guess,
sends
out
form
letters
saying
your
issue
is
being
investigated,
has
been
investigated
or
whatever
I
find
it
kind
of
surprising.
N
Given
the
budget,
Bellevue
is
a
wealthy
City
home
to
many
big
companies,
and
the
council
seems
to
have
budgeted
plenty
of
funds
for
active
luxury
activities.
I
would
consider
like
an
artist's
Village
and
the
like
I
find
it
kind
of
surprising
that
there
has
not
been
there
have
not
been
funds
allocated,
but
what
I
and
many
others
might
consider
basic
infrastructure,
a
police
force
with
body
cams,
a
proper
office
of
accountability,
which
leads
me
to
my
third
question:
what
happens
to
questions
asked
on
this
forum?
N
Do
they
get
a
reply?
Does
anybody
bother
to
respond
or
do
you
does
somebody
assign
an
issue
number
and
file
it
away
in
a
filing
cabinet
where
it
sits
with
the
rest
of
the
issues?
Those
are
my
three
questions.
That's
about
it.
Oh
I
made
it
in
time
good
evening
to
all
thank
you
for
listening
Patrick,
something.
A
So,
as
a
rule,
the
council
does
not
have
a
conversation
with
public
comment,
but
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
misconceptions
that
you're
basing
your
commentary
on
that
I'd
love
to
have
cleared
up
by
the
city
manager.
So
perhaps
you
can
reach
out
to
him
later
and
or
if
you'd
like
to
say
something.
Now
you
can
your.
F
Choice:
marriage,
council
members:
there
is
money
budgeted
for
body
cams
in
our
budget
that
you
approved
more
recently
like
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
and
we
will
reach
out
to
the
speaker
tonight.
Okay,.
A
Bye,
thank
you
for
that
and
I'd
also
like
to
say
for
public
commenters
who
come
to
speak
about
things
that
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
Bellevue
city
council
like
the
school
district.
Maybe
when
people
sign
up,
we
could
give
them
advance
notice
that
this
Bellevue
city
council
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
Bellevue
School
District
and
their
decisions.
Yeah.
B
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
We
have
a
request
for
remote
participation
for
March
27th.
Is
there
a
motion?
I'm.
H
A
H
M
A
Okay,
good
somehow
I
heard
you
say
something
different:
okay,
all
those
in
favor
say.
A
F
You
mayor
and
council
members
there's
one
topic
on
your
study
session
agenda
this
evening,
and
that
is
consideration
of
a
staff
proposal
to
extend
certain
building
permits.
Imagine
plan
use
actions
in
response
to
current
economic
conditions
and
just
by
way
back
when
the
city
is
a
long-standing
history
of
being
proactive
to
changing
conditions
in
our
community.
As
you
heard
from
some
of
our
speakers
this
evening,
tonight's
staff
proposals
is
another
example
of
our
development
services
department
pivoting.
F
In
light
of
some
of
the
changing
conditions
impacting
our
development
Community
again,
staff
are
seeking
Council
consideration
and
direction
this
evening.
Joining
us
at
the
table
this
evening
are
gray,
Schrader
and
interim
co-director
and
to
his
right
list
dead,
also
interim
co-director,
both
from
the
development
service
department.
With
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
hand
it
over
to
you
Greg
to
begin
the
presentation.
O
And
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
council
members,
I'll
start
by
noting
that
Council
has
heard
from
several
groups
and
individuals
regarding
the
proposals
being
considered,
including
emails
letters
oral
test
money
earlier
this
evening,
the
actions
recommended
by
staff
respond
to
concerns.
We
began
hearing
from
a
large
segment
of
the
development
Community
late
last
year.
O
A
O
Sure,
as
I
was
noting
we're
happy
to
continue
conversations
with
other
parties
and
regarding
the
interests
in
of
the
development
Community
I'll
just
take
a
moment
to
talk
about
the
development
process
and
how
it
typically
works
that
I'm
sure
most
of
you
know
that
it
usually
starts
with
the
land
use
phase
and
that's
often
referred
to
as
the
entitlement
phase
that
later
leads
to
construction
permit
application.
O
If
the
project
chooses
to
proceed
forward
this
evening,
we'll
be
discussing
an
it's
possible
extensions
to
both
the
land
use,
entitlement
phase
and
the
construction
permit,
phase
Liz
will
address
the
land,
use,
phase
and
I'll
talk
about
the
building
permit
extensions.
So
the
question
of
extension
of
approvals,
land
use
approvals
or
building
permits
is
directly
related
to
vesting
law.
O
Investing
is
the
action
that
establishes
which
codes
apply
to
the
project,
for
example,
at
the
point
in
time
when
a
developer
receives
a
land
use
approval
that
establishes
certain
codes
and
the
date
when
a
building
a
complete
building
permit
application
is
submitted.
That
establishes
other
codes
that
pertain
more
to
the
construction
of
the
the
building.
O
The
intent
is
also
to
ensure
that
projects
are
built
to
reasonably
current
codes
that
reflect
Council
policy
direction,
for
example,
Innovation
and
construction
advances
in
building
safety
or
environmental
stewardship.
Just
to
name
a
few
last
I'll
note
that
the
permit
extension
proposal,
we're
bringing
Council
for
consideration
this
evening
for
building
and
clearing
grading
permits,
is
identical
to
extensions
that
were
granted
by
Council
action
in
2020
during
the
pandemic
and
previously
in
2010
and
2011
following
the
housing
crisis
and
ensuing
recession,
so
staff
are
seeking
Direction
on
three
proposals.
O
Not
much
has
changed,
but
we
do
have
year-end
numbers
to
share.
Then
Liz
will
outline
the
development
services
process,
improvement,
work,
that's
just
being
initiated
and
we'll
describe
the
details
of
the
proposed
extension
ordinance
and
land
use
code.
Amendments
to
allow
extended
vesting
of
land
use
approvals.
O
So
the
the
developer
concerns
that
we
started
hearing
in
which
you've
heard
some
of
this
evening.
The
office
Market
is
uncertain
and
is
in
transition.
We
have
employers
and
employees
jointly
determining
the
future
of
telework
and
it's
unclear
what
how
that
will
impact
the
office
Market
going
forward.
We've
seen
announcements
in
the
tech
industry,
including
Workforce
reductions.
There
has
been
inflation
of
construction
and
land
costs.
Those
are
still
very
high.
That
has
not
corrected
interest
rates
and
this
also
impacts
housing
projects.
It's
not
just
office
or
commercial.
O
The
development
activity
as
I
think
we
described
you
know
maybe
a
little
more
detail
back
in
October
we're
we're
in
a
10-year
development
cycle.
There
are
still
many
projects
in
the
pipeline,
that's
still
very
strong,
but
as
I
noted
with
office,
market
and
transition,
some
projects
are
choosing
to
slow
their
progress
through
that
the
the
review
process,
and
that
adds
to
the
need
for
the
permit
extensions.
O
O
The
construction
valuation
that's
been
issued
is
reflected
in
this
chart.
We
certainly
did
see
a
decrease
in
2022.
It
dropped
back
to
being
comparable
to
2020
again,
some
of
that
being
due
to
projects
choosing
not
to
make
that
commitment
to
get
an
issued
permit
and
then
potentially
start
construction.
Each
step
of
the
process
represents
a
greater
risk
and
financial
investment
and
Liz
will
talk
about
process
improvements.
P
I
I
want
to
say
it's
more
than
10
years,
but
we'll
use
our
10-year
cycle,
and
so,
as
a
result,
we've
had
a
lot
of
change
and
staff.
We've
had
a
lot
of
projects
come
through
and
we
haven't
had
as
much
time
to
devote
to
some
of
the
process
improvement
work
that
we
are
looking
at
now.
We've
typically
tried
to
use
downturns
in
the
development
cycle
as
a
point
in
time
where
we
can
look
at
our
processes.
Look
at
the
work,
we're
doing
and
look
for
efficiencies
and
way
to
do
things
better.
P
So
we
will
be
working
on
focusing
our
efforts
on
building
resiliency
so
that
we
are
more
able
to
quickly
respond
to
permit
applications
as
they
come
in
the
door
and
get
those
one
of
the
ways
we're
looking
at
doing.
That
is
expanding
our
consultant
resource
pool
and
that
will
provide
us
a
little
bit
of
an
ability
to
send
out
some
review.
P
P
They
want
to
put
a
deck
on
their
building
their
home,
or
maybe
they
want
to
open
a
restaurant,
a
small
business
and
that's
really
a
hard
customer
type
for
us,
we're
definitely
more
keyed
toward
the
professional
development
community,
and
so
we're
really
going
to
be
making
an
effort
to
find
ways
to
assist
those
customers
just
as
effectively
as
we
are
able
to
assist
the
profession
Nationals
that
come
in
the
door.
So
that
is
going
to
be
a
major
focus
of
the
work.
P
We're
moving
forward
on
we're,
also
looking
at
simplifying
and
streamlining
or
permitting,
and
as
all
of
you
know,
since
it's
really
been
in
your
direction,
we'll
be
using
the
affordable
housing
projects,
as
some
test
case
to
try
some
things
on
and
some
of
those
things
around.
Project
management
and
such
could
eventually
end
up.
P
You
know
moving
out
to
other
permit
types,
so
we're
using
the
next
right
work
initiatives
as
a
way
to
Showcase
some
things,
streamline
the
permit
intake
process
and
provide
more
staff,
support
for
applicants,
so
a
higher
level
of
project
management
and
then
we'll
use
these
lessons.
As
we
move
into
our
other
process.
Improvement
work
in
addition
to
this
continuous
process
or
Improvement
that
is
already
underway.
P
Development
services
is
going
to
be
updating
our
strategic
plan,
so
our
strategic
plan
that
we
had,
we
had
a
five-year
plan
that
finished
actually
a
couple
of
years
ago,
but
between
covid
and
the
development
cycle.
We
really
didn't
have
a
chance
to
go
back
and
re-look
at
it.
So
we
will
be
looking
again
at
a
five-year
strategic
Plan
update
where
we'll
start
to
meter
out
how
we
can
achieve
these
different
goals.
P
Part
of
that
will
be
around
technology
upgrades
we're
really
working
to
improve
the
customer
experience,
especially
expanding
the
virtual
permit,
Center
and
the
ways
that
we
can
provide
assistance
24
hours
a
day
to
people
through
a
lot
of
our
virtual
work.
We're
also
looking
at
some
technology
upgrades
that
will
also
ease
the
administrative
burden
that
both
the
city
feels
and
our
customers.
So
so
some
of
the
work
on
our
records
repository
our
payment
processing
system.
P
P
One
of
the
other
areas
that
we
have
found
there
has
been
a
lot
of
change
in
the
last
few
years
is
really
our
staffing.
So
we
are
looking
at
how
we
can
maximize
our
human
potential
and
hire
and
train
new
staff,
we're
seeing
quite
a
bit
more
staff
turnover
on
a
more
rapid
basis.
So
we
realize
that
we
really
need
to
up
our
training
so
that
we
can
have
people
be
effective,
more
quickly
and
feel
comfortable
and
provide
good
good
service
to
our
customers.
So
we
are
improving
our
onboarding.
O
So
I'll
address
the
second
part
of
that.
First,
we
cannot
legally
go
back
and
extend
applications
or
issued
permits
that
already
expired
and
I
can
assure
you
that
all
of
those
have
had
the
full
benefit
of
all
of
the
administrative
Authority.
That
staff
currently
has
to
keep
those
alive.
I'll
speak
to
the
second
keeping
projects
that
are
vested
to
the
2018
codes
alive.
O
The
potential
downside
to
that
is
that
there
could
be
applications
or
issued
permits
that
expire
between
now
and
then
so.
Staff
were
responded
to
the
specific
requests
that
we
received.
There
was
also
in
communication
to
council
a
request
to
allow
additional
administrative
extensions
and,
of
course,
staff
are
open
to
continued
conversations
with
the
development
Community
about.
All
of
this,
I
will
note
that
the
building
official
and
the
land
use
director
do
currently
have
limited
authority
to
extend
applications
and
issued
building
permits.
O
There
is
again
some
administrative
authority
authority
for
the
building
official
to
go
beyond
the
three
years
and
I
will
note
that
a
couple
of
so
code
Cycles
ago,
six
or
seven
years,
we
introduced
language
in
Bellevue
city
code,
23.05
that
allows
phasing
of
projects
so,
for
example,
a
high-rise
project
that
needs
a
longer
period
of
time.
For
construction
typically
chooses
to
apply
for
a
separate
permit
for
the
below
grade
garage
structure.
O
They
can
start
construction
while
the
a
Podium
or
high-rise
structure
is
still
being
reviewed,
and
so
those
are
phased
out
such
that
there
is
a
time
period
that
is
well
beyond
three
years.
I
think
it's
often
up
to
five
years,
and
that
has
seemed
to
work
relatively
well
and
now.
I'll
ask
Liz
to
talk
about
the
land
use,
vesting
proposal.
P
Thank
you
Greg,
so
the
proposed
land
use
code,
vesting
extension,
is
a
little
bit
different
because
we
are
proposing
permanent
regulations.
If
staff
would
like
to
direct
that,
in
that
case,
it
would
require
changes
to
the
land
use
code,
and
so
we
are
looking
to
have
Council
discuss
and
provide
feedback
on
whether
you
would
like
us
to
pursue
permanent
regulations
to
extend
vesting.
Currently,
the
land
use
code
only
allows
a
few
different
areas
where
the
director
can
extend
vesting.
P
You
can
extend
vesting
for
a
critical
areas,
land
use
permit,
excuse
me
and
my
apologize.
You
may
also
extend
vesting
for
Shoreline
exemption
in
both
of
those
circumstances.
It
is
director's
authority
to
do
so
and
gosh
the
one
time
I
didn't
bring
water,
so
there's
no
other
ability
to
extend
vesting
some
of
the
permit
types
that
this
would
include
would
be.
A
design
review
would
be
a
conditional
use
permit
or
an
administrative
conditional
use
permit.
P
P
Thank
you
so
much.
The
current
code
allows
for
two
years
vesting
for
those
permit
types,
the
administrative
design
view
and
such
if
the
council
so
directs.
We
would
bring
back
for
consideration
a
study
session,
an
opportunity
to
extend
that
potentially
another
two
years,
but
we
would
certainly
be
looking
to
counsel
for
direction
on
that
when
we
got
to
the
study
session.
This
would
align
this
with
the
other
section
of
the
code
that
do
allow
for
some
extensions
to
vesting
and
our
requests
from
the
development
Community
they
did.
P
There
was
a
request
that
we
look
at
this
in
a
more
permanent
permanent
code
Authority
in
this
case.
This
is
something
that
many
cities
have,
so
it
would
also
be
consistent
with
many
of
our
neighboring
jurisdictions
to
allow
for
a
bit
longer
vesting
time
for
those
those
projects
and
just
for
a
short
explanation.
When
a
land
use
code
decision
invests
it
vests
at
the
final
decision.
P
So
at
the
point
the
staff
report
is
issued
and
it
has
gone
through
its
appeal
process.
If
there
is
any
that
would,
that
is
when
that
decision
would
vest
to
the
land
use
code,
the
applicant
would
then
have
up
to
two
years
to
apply
for
a
building
permit,
and
what
we
would
be
looking
at
is
whether
Council
would
wish
us
to
provide
a
little
bit
more
time
for
the
applicant
to
apply
for
a
building
permit.
After
that
final
decision.
P
A
Great,
if
we
can
leave
this
slide
up
so
you're
looking
for
those
Direction
on
those
three
items
that
you
just
described
and
you
kind
of
have
to
tease
out
the
third
one,
which
is
the
council
retaining
processing
of
the
land
use
code
as
opposed
to
sending
it
to
the
Planning
Commission.
So
any
comments
or
questions
council
members
on
what
we
start
with
you.
Q
Okay,
oh
thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
Greg
and
Liz
for
working
on
this,
because
I
do
think
that
there
is
urgency
to
address
the
concerns
from
the
developer
Community
to
really
understand,
what's
going
on
in
our
current
market
uncertainty,
because
we
know
that
whether
it's
a
developer
or
a
homeowner
in
our
community
that
having
some
level
of
predictability
will
be
really
helpful
during
this
volatile
time
where
interest
rates
are
really
high
and
supply
chain
disruptions
are
happening.
Q
I
appreciate
your
thoughtful
consideration
of
the
comments
that
came
in
and
really
trying
to
thread
a
needle
between
what
we
can
reasonably
provide
in
terms
of
accommodation
and
time
extension
as
well
as
not
having
it
be
so
long
that
that
we
ourselves
run
into
concerns.
I
do
have
some
questions
and
maybe
a
confirmation.
So
in
the
slide
related
to
the
number
of
permits,
it
looks
like
there's
just
shy
of
a
thousand
permits
that
would
be
that's
currently
in
the
pipeline
not
issued,
but
in
the
application.
O
The
extension
would
apply
to
all
active
applications
for
building
permits
and
clearing
grading
permits
and
all
active
issued
permits
for
building
and
clearing
and
Grading,
and
it
it
would
definitely
be
in
the
thousands
I
do
not
have
the
exact
number
at
the
moment,
but
I
could
certainly
provide
that
to
council.
Q
Okay,
I
think
that
would
be
helpful.
I
think
it
might
be
helpful
for
us
just
to
get
a
sense
for
you
know
what
are
these
permits
and
then
I
would
say
that
I
would
also
like
to
understand.
So
when
we
talk
about
vesting
just
so
we're
all
clear
which
impact
fees
would
then
apply
because
I
know
that
sometimes
those
are
adjusted.
P
I
can
begin
to
answer
on
that.
Thank
you
in
terms
of
the
impact
fees
you
do
not
best
to
impact
fees,
so
impact
fees
would
be
whatever
they
were
at
the
point
you
were
pulling
the
building
permit,
so
there
would
be
no
change
to
whatever
the
regular
cycle
of
updates
would
be
for
the
impact
fees
in
terms
of
the
when
there
are
changes
like
the
tree
code.
P
I
think
that's
a
really
good
question,
because
it's
one,
that's
obviously
very
top
of
mind
for
everyone
right
now
in
this
particular
circumstance,
because
we
would
be
reviewing
the
tree
removal
for
as
an
example
single
family
residence
that
would
be
reviewed
under
the
building
code,
and
so
this
would
allow
you
know
this
extension
of
potentially
six
months.
There
could
be
a
scenario
where
there
is
a
short
period
of
time
where
the
old
code
would
still
apply.
P
However,
in
this
case,
it
would
really
be
up
to
council's
discretion
if
they
wanted
to
extend
this
and
I
I.
Don't
believe
that
we'll
be
getting
the
tree
code
to
council
for
adoption
before
the
next
six
months
so
I,
you
know
I
think
at
that
point
we
could
certainly
look
at
whether
Council
wanted
to
provide
another
building
permit
extension
or
not,
but
generally
it
would
best
you
to
whatever
the
code
was
in
place
at
the
point.
O
Thank
you,
council,
member
you're,
referring
to
the
180
day
extension.
Specifically
it's
one
time
in
the
sense
that
it
applies
well.
Let
me
clarify
that
if
a
project
is
an
application
status,
it
can
obtain
the
benefit
of
an
additional
180
days
in
application
status,
and
then,
if
it,
when
it
issues,
it
would
have
an
additional
180
days.
So
it
would
go
from
three
to
three
and
a
half
years
for
the
life
of
the
permit,
without
regard
to
any
other
extensions
that
the
building
official
might
have
the
authority
to
Grant.
O
R
You
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
this
come
to
council
and
it's
it's
an
example
of
how
we
really
try
to
work
with
our
stakeholders
and
I.
Just
thank
you
to
staff
for
bringing
this
forward.
I.
Think
it's
really
a
good
thing.
I
was
really
struck
by
slide
seven.
Can
you
pull
that
up,
please
where
it
shows
that
the
permits
construction
valuation
of
permits
for
2022
Has
Fallen?
R
But
if
you
look
at
that
yeah
next
one,
if
you
look
at
the
purple
plaid
which
that
is
new
residences,
that
has
never
been
higher,
that's
over
200
million
and
it's
higher
than
any
other
bar
in
this.
So
the
impact
of
this
policy
is
really
going
to
affect
building
new
housing
and,
to
the
extent
we
get
more
applications
for
permits
between
now
and
June
30th.
R
If
we
decide
to
build
that
in,
it
will
probably
also
significantly
impact
housing
when
the
building
code
changes
as
it
will
on
July
1st
of
this
year,
building
code,
energy
code
a
whole
bunch,
all
the
I
codes,
International
codes,
I
think
the
history
is
that
we
tend
to
get
a
rush
of
applications
right
before
the
code
changes.
Do
you
agree
with
that?
Greg.
R
Yeah
so
from
my
perspective,
I
don't
want
to
delay
adopting
this
ordinance,
but
I
would
like
to
build
in
to
both
the
building
permit
section
one
and
the
clearing
grade
section
two,
where
it
applies
to
Applications
active
on
the
effective
date
of
the
ordinance
and
to
any
complete
building
permit
application
submitted
on
or
before
June
30th
and
same
thing,
where
that's
that
date
would
go
in
twice
on
section
one
and
twice
on
section
three,
because
we
probably
will
see
a
lot
of
applications
coming
in,
particularly
for
housing
between
now
and
June
30th,
and
the
new
building
code
is
always
more
expensive
to
build
when
the
building
code
changes
because
one
all
of
the
people
all
of
the
Consultants
that
are
drafting
the
plans
and
putting
together
the
mechanical
and
all
that
stuff
on
application.
R
R
They
they
can't
do
it
under
the
2021
codes,
which
will
take
effect
on
July
1st.
So
they
can
only
do
it
under
the
2018
codes
that
are
in
effect
now.
So
I
really
think
it
would
be
fair
and
go
with
our
policy
of
in
trying
to
make
things
easier
for
people
building
housing
to
change
sections
one
and
three
to
also
include
applications
submitted
on
or
before
June
30th
2023.
O
So
I
would
have
to
consult
with
the
city
attorney's
office
to
see
if
there's
a
way
to
craft,
an
ordinance
that
could
accomplish
what
you've
described.
Council,
member,
Robertson,
As
I
understood
what
I
heard
I
think
you're
looking
for
a
time
period
from
say
the
end
of
March
through
the
end
of
June
and
everything
that's
active
as
an
application
or
an
issued
peer
permit
within
that
time
period
would
get.
The
benefit
of
the
extension
is
that
accurate.
R
R
That
would
be
great
if
we
could
get
that
back
on
that
and
then
I
had
two
more
comments.
One
is
I'd
like
to
see
this
come
back
on
consent
at
our
next
meeting,
which
is
in
two
weeks
so
that
we
can
take
action
on
it
now.
R
You
know
well
now,
relatively
two
weeks,
so
that's
number
one
but
I
don't
want
to
lose
the
thread
on
the
other
comments
from
some
of
our
stakeholders.
I
think
that
we
should
I
would
like
staff
to
continue
to
work
with
our
stakeholders
about
some
of
those
additional
requests,
and
maybe
we
consider
them
later
if
they
still
are,
are
needed
and
then
finally,
on
the
land
use
permanent
regulations.
I
definitely
would
like
to
learn
more
about
that.
R
I'd
like
to
specifically
have
a
briefing
about
that
before
it
comes
for
either
an
interim
official
control
or
permanent
regs
I
do
think
we
should
keep
it
but
I'm
a
bit
concerned
about
extending
vesting,
particularly
for
on
land
use,
particularly
for
plants.
They
have
really
long
periods
anyway
and
when
they
take
a
when
you're
vested,
then
you
don't,
for
example,
pick
up
the
new
tree
code.
R
You
don't
pick
up
other
things
that
we
might
put
into
place
that
are
really
important
to
the
people
of
this
city,
so
any
of
those
really
long
time
permits
I,
don't
know
that
I
want
to
make
a
permanent
ordinance
to
extend
vesting
I.
Think
that
that's
a
really.
We
want
to
have
a
good
policy
discussion
about
that
and
and
understand
the
trade-offs,
but
but
the
permits
and
the
clearing
grade
I'm
all
over
it.
Let's
do
it
so
thanks.
B
R
S
A
Comments
on
consent
in
two
weeks
versus
getting
back
for
discussion,
I'm
open
to
you
there,
okay,
councilmember
Stokes.
T
Basically,
what's
been
said
already,
I
think
this
is,
is
really
a
good
thing
to
do.
I
think
what
would
help
is
in
a
couple
of
weeks
if
we
could
get
a
better
picture
of
how
all
this
fits
in
together,
because
some
things
came
up
in
in
your
conversation
that
we
really
didn't
hear
about
and
talking
about
it's
complex,
but
it's
I
agree
with
the
overall
way
we're
looking
at
this.
T
We
know
things
just
don't
keep
going
in
10
years,
all
the
same
and
so
having
a
lot
more
flexibility.
I
think
it's
very
good,
so
I'm
very
comfortable
with
going
on
this
with
me
in
two
weeks,
come
bring
it
back
and
I
think
maximize
the
effect
that
this
can
have
of
keeping
things
going
well,
getting
better
connections
and
I.
T
Think
in
the
long
run
it's
going
to
actually
I
wouldn't
say,
speed
up,
but
actually
make
it
a
more
effective
way
to
get
get
things
done
and
maybe
in
a
sense
the
staff
will
actually
have
some
better
use
of
the
time
in
terms
of
working
on
these
things.
Instead
of
having
to
process
things
over
and
over
kind
of
so
councilmember
Stokes.
A
D
You
yeah
I,
won't
be
here
in
two
weeks,
so
I
would
appreciate
you
not
making
the
decision
I
want
to
complement
the
staff
for
being
very
sensitive
to
this.
You
know
for
the
condition
that
we
just
discussed.
Why
we
need
to
you
know,
extend
this
for
various
reasons.
We've
gone
through
this
periods
previously
during
previous
you
know,
economic
downturns,
so
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
I
think
we
heard
the
development
community
and
what
they
have
to
say.
I
think
it's
good
for
everyone.
D
The
only
concern
I
have
is
that
you
suggested
a
few
things
that
the
staff
might
do.
I,
don't
you
know
I,
don't
know
what
that
might
do
to
the
actual
development.
I
think
that's
part
of
the
conversation.
What's
the
process
you're
going
to
do.
Are
we
going
to
impact
the
future
codes
and
rules
and
whatnot
I
I
believe
that
by
slowing
things
down
it
doesn't
mean
that
the
staff
has
extra
time?
D
Then
you
can
you
start
to
do
other
things
and
if
that's
the
case,
I
want
to
know
what
other
things
are.
You
know
that
might
not
be
what
we
are.
You
know
giving
you
I,
don't
know
whether
we
want
to
get
into
that
kind
of
detail
or
not.
I
really
don't
know,
I,
don't
think
we
should
but
I
think
that
will
address
how
we
handle
the
extension,
because
that's
definitely
a
good
thing
to
do.
D
But
then,
while
we
are
extending
it
I
think
councilmember
Robertson
mentioned
you
may
have
certain
impact
to
the
new
codes
to
whatever
other
residential
people
are
looking
at.
What
commercial
people
are
looking
at,
how
all
the
detail
might
be
affected?
I
don't
know
so.
I
would
hope
that
if
those
things
are
affected,
those
things
need
to
be
determined.
D
You
know
how
do
you
you
talk
about
HR
how
to
train
people?
Oh
that's
good
thing,
it's
very
good
things,
but
I
think
that
you
should
not
detract
from
what
we're
talking
about,
which
is
helping
the
development
through
a
Slowdown
in
you
know,
economy,
and
how
do
we
make
sure
that
they
are
going
to
be
helped
to
make
hope
that
they
will
be
there?
They
will
do
whatever
they
have
to
do.
Then,
when
the
economy
comes
back,
we'll
have
a
you
know,
a
healthy.
D
You
know
building
in
the
city,
so
that's
why
I
want
to
say.
Basically
you
know
I
hope
you
understand
what
I'm
saying
so.
I
approved
the
concept
completely,
but
I
would
like
to
have
a
little
bit
more
extra
time
to
understand
what
you're
going
to
be
doing,
how
you're
going
to
do
it
with
additional
resources
or
baby
low
additional
resources.
How
I?
How
is
it
going
to
impact
the
other
things
that
councilmember
Robertson
brought
up,
and
maybe
you
know
you
might
share
some
lights
about
certain
code
changes
and
what
may
be
a
constraint?
D
A
H
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
great,
ladies
for.
H
Very
excited
that
we're
we're
looking
at
this,
especially
with
you,
know
the
changing
market
conditions
as
you,
as
you
mentioned
earlier,
you
know,
interest
rates
doubling
and
construction
costs
rising
and
then
rents
falling
at
the
same
time.
So
a
lot
of
these
projects
are
hard
to
pencil
out
right
now,
so,
but
very
excited
to
keep
this
moving
forward
and
coming
back
in
two
or
three
weeks
whatever
it
might
be.
H
I
think,
given
the
comments
tonight,
mayor
I
probably
would
say:
have
this
come
under
other
ordinances,
probably
for
some
additional
conversation.
Just
in
case
we
can't
get
all
of
our
questions
answered.
We
might
have
some
additional
ones.
H
In
fact,
I
was
ready
to
move
this
forward
tonight,
but
some
of
the
great
comments
by
councilmember,
Zahn
and
Robertson
and
and
some
of
the
great
comments
we've
gotten
from
some
of
the
stakeholders,
I
think
a
little
bit
more
more
more
work
on
this
is
is
is
is
needed,
but
in
general
very
much
want
to
want
to
want
to
move
this
forward.
I
really
like
the
comment
by
councilman
Robertson
about
all
the
applicants
that
are
active
between
now
and
June.
H
30Th
being
part
of
that
extension
of
180
days,
I
think
that's
important
and
I
really
would
like,
and
we
can
do
this
offline,
but
especially
from
some
of
the
stakeholder
holders
like
neop
and
others,
had
some
very
specific
questions
or
requests
in
there
I'd
like
to
explore
those
as
well
in
terms
of
potentially
adding
them
to
this.
H
But
we
can
do
that
offline,
but
I
certainly
would
like
to
because
there
does
seem
to
be
some
duplication
between
the
the
stakeholders
in
terms
of
some
of
their
requests
and
or
insights
into
what
this
might
look
like,
but
yeah
happy
to
keep
moving
this
forward
and
I'm
so
happy
that
we're
at
this
point
due
to
the
the
changing
conditions
and
we're
being
proactive.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation
tonight.
A
Thank
you
and
I'll
just
take
a
little
turn
here.
I
too
Echo
Deputy
mayor's
comment.
You
know
this
is
Bellevue
being
Nimble
and
I
appreciate
this
work
I.
What
I
really
like
is
that
you're
assisting
the
first
time,
applicants
with
applying
for
Home
Improvement
in
small
business
tenant
Improvement
permits
I
really
appreciate
that,
because,
as
a
council
member
I
receive
emails,
a
lot
about
those
interactions,
I
appreciate
ex
the
work
we're
doing
to
expedite,
affordable
housing
permits
and
I'm.
A
Looking
forward
to
seeing
how
that
manifests,
sometimes
I
wonder
if
we
should
have
a
permit
Ombudsman,
so
the
council
doesn't
have
to
function
as
that
and
I
would
say
that
I
think
that
there's
a
majority
who
would
like
to
see
this
come
back
as
a
discussion
item
and
the
things
I
think
we
want
to
know
the
impacts,
the
pros
and
the
cons
of
our
one,
the
vesting
time,
the
starting
date
and
the
phasing
of
projects.
Q
I
just
want
to
confirm
we
are
still
talking
about
this.
Coming
back
on
March
27th,
because
I
understand
there's
an
urgency
to
once
a
permits
expired.
We
can't
resurrect
it
so
for
every
day
that
we
don't
Implement,
there's
potentially
permits
that
are
expiring,
so
I
guess
I.
That
would
be
one
thing.
I
just
want
to
impress
upon
the
council
is
that
if
we
are
not
going
to
have
this,
come
back
on
the
27th
for
a
vote
that
just
trying
to
understand
come.
Q
H
O
Well,
typically,
when
we
know
that
we're
this
close
to
a
potential
Council
action
to
extend
applications
or
issued
permits,
we
would
try
to
use
all
of
the
leeway
that
the
current
administrative
throw
code
provides
to
keep
an
application
or
an
issued
permit
alive.
There
are
some
that
are
will
be
a
little
challenge
to
get
all
the
way,
but
I
think
we
can
Bridge.
Certainly
the
two
weeks
and
the
five
days
to
the
effective
date.
Okay,.
H
Great
and
then
also
just
to
add
to
the
laundry
list
that
the
mayor
had
mentioned
about
the
some
of
the
specific
asks
by
nap
and
and
and
other
organizations,
I
would
like
to
get
some
feedback
on
that
I.
Also
on
Echo.
The
mayor's
excellent
comment
about
helping
those
that
need
a
little
bit
more
High
touch
the
small
shop
owner
and
the
restaurant
Etc
getting
them
through
this
process.
H
I
really
want
to
give
you
kudos,
for
you
know,
be
it
the
technology
upgrade
or
additional
Staffing
by
giving
them
an
ability
to
get
through
it
quicker
without
understanding
or
having
a
professional
staff
that
can
get
this
through
quicker.
So
I
really
appreciate
that.
So
thank
you.
P
Mayor
Robinson
I
would
just
like
to
clarify.
We
will
not
be
prepared
to
bring
back
a
draft
land
use
code
amendment
in
two
weeks
that
one
will
be
likely.
You
know
four
to
six
weeks.
You
know
minimum
before
we
can
come
back
on
that,
but.
A
A
Perfect
I'm
going
to
council
member
Roberts
and
then
council
member
Lee,
one.
R
I
wasn't
sure
if
Council
gave
direction
that
I'm
pretty
sure
they
didn't
about
whether
they
are
interested
in
having
assuming
that
we
legally
can
do
it
the
date
from
effective
date
through
June
30th
I
didn't
hear
a
direction
on
that
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
staff
if
we
gave
them
directions,
so
they
can
draft
the
ordinance
when
it
comes
back
on.
R
R
So
if
the
ordinance
is
passed
with
the
through
the
effective
date
June
to
June
30th
change,
the
tree
code
would
not
be
in
effect
before
June
30th,
so
nothing
in
that
would
affect
whether
someone
is
vested
to
the
the
code
as
it
is
today
versus
the
new
tree
code,
because
vesting
occurs
at
the
time
a
complete
building
permit
application
is
filed,
or
in
the
case
of
grading,
when
the
clear
and
great
so
it
those
two
things,
don't
go
together
right
now,
because
we're
unlikely
to
have
that
code
in
effect
by
June
30th.
P
R
Agree
with
that,
okay
just
wanted
to
clarify,
so
it
wouldn't
affect
the
tree
code.
If
we
extend
it
later
after
the
tree
code
is
in
effect,
then
it
might,
but
otherwise
this
would
not
affect
the
tree
code.
So
just
wanted
to
clarify
that.
Thank
you,
I'm,
supportive
and
I'm,
supportive
of
also
moving
forward
with
the
language
code.
I
just
want
to
no
more
before
we,
because
that
comes
to
council
for
prime
time
thanks
councilmember
Lee.
P
D
Okay,
I
was
hooked
from
Greg
that
you
know
you
you
can
handle
it
or
somehow
you
can
manage
so
I'm,
not
sure
you
know
how
important
it
is
that
you
know
I
don't
participate,
vote
for
it
versus
you
know.
Maybe
you
can
maybe
it's
no
impact
to
the
people
who
are
going
to
be
invested.
A
Let's
talk
to
Charmaine
the
city
clerk
who
handles
our
schedule
and
also
maybe
consider
participating
remotely
at
that
meeting
if
that
works
for
you
from
DC
yeah
sure
me.
A
P
P
There's
really,
as
Greg
mentioned,
we
can
do
a
little
finagling
as
it
were,
to
get
through.
However,
the
longer
we
extend
it,
the
more
possibility
there
is
that
some
permit
May
expire
and
not
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
this
extension.
B
Little
bit
we
we
do
certainly
have
time
on
the
agenda
on
the
27th
to
bring
this.
If
that's
what
the
council
chooses
to
do,
okay,.
T
R
Robertson,
so
I
was
going
to
mention
with
I'm,
always
in
favor
of
being
gracious
and
moving
agenda
items
that
especially
ones
that
are
not
urgent
to
when
we
have
a
full
Council
here
or
ones
that
are
going
to
have
a
close
vote
and
so
I
certainly
know
no
disrespect
to
councilmember
Lee,
who
will
be
away
on
City
business,
but
I
think
that
we
need
to
move
this
on
the
27th
just
because
if
we
wait
another
week
there
could
be
some
permits
that
expire
and
it's
it's
not
fair
to
those
applicants.
R
So
it's
since
the
entire
Council
seems
pretty
Resolute
on
approving
this
I.
Don't
you
know
it's
not
going
to
be
a
close
vote
in
two
weeks,
I,
so
no
disrespect,
councilmember,
Lee
I,
certainly
would
vote
to
include
you
in
this
agenda
item.
Should
you
decide
you
want
to
appear
remotely
on
that,
but
I
I
support
having
it
on
the
27th
sure
we.
A
I'm,
sorry,
the
reason
we
want
to
have
another
meeting
is
because
we
want
to
answer
all
those
questions
that
we
made
a
list
about
so
and
you
can
get
information
on.
D
The
answers
of
that
yeah
right.
Why
don't
you
get
me
as
much
as
you
can?
Okay
and
I
will
decide
if
I
have
no
concern
about
the
things
you
bought
me
brought
back
to
me.
I
don't
need
to
vote
because
you're
going
to
go
for
it
and
I
will
vote
for
it
if
necessary.
Remotely
okay,
but
I
need
to
know
what
we're
going
to
find
out
and
see
what
position
I
would
take
yeah
that.
D
A
So
do
I,
don't
think
we
need
to
make
a
motion
on
this.
Do
we,
since
we're
going
to
be
bringing
it
back?
What
is
your
recommendation?
I'm?
Yes,.
P
Liz
yeah
I
I
would
wonder
if
you
would,
if
council
is
willing
and
feels
they
have
enough
information
to
initiate
the
land,
use
code,
Amendment
and
re
and
move
to
retain
processing.
For
that
we
could
get
that
out
of
the
way
and
then
just
come
back.
A
Okay,
so
there
remember
there
were
three
things:
one
was
to
adopt
the
ordinance.
The
second
one
was
to
initiate
amendments
to
the
land
use
code
and
the
third
one
was
to
retain
Council
processing
of
the
land
use
code
Amendment.
So
why
don't
we
make
a
motion
for
those
number
two
and
number
three
and
see
if
there's
any
discussion
or
comments
on
those
two.
D
I
I
support
it
and
I
want
to
make
a
point
to
the
staff
I
I
apologize
for
putting
you
in
this
on
the
spot
when
we're
asking
you
whether
it
be
okay
to
bring
it
back
in
two
or
three
weeks.
So
I
would
support
this.
Okay,.
A
Any
other
comments
or
questions
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Thank
you,
okay
and
then
the
other
one
I,
don't
think
we
need
to
make
a
motion
on,
but
you've
you've
got
your
instructions
and
I
have
a
list
of
all
the
things
we
want
to
get
information
on.
A
R
A
Okay,
I
apologize,
I
think
we're
good,
but
I
also
think
that
I
have
a
list
of
everything
that
was
brought
up
tonight
and
anybody's
free
to
send
their
questions
to
staff
and
we'll
get
them
answered
the
next
meeting.
Okay,
thank.
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much,
so
our
next
meeting
actually
is
canceled
and
we're
going
to
resume
our
Council
meetings
on
March,
27
2023,
and
with
that
we
are
adjourned.
