So
we
have
four
proclamations
tonight
and
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we'll
have
each
council
member
read
the
proclamation
after
they've
read
the
proclamation?
If
there's
somebody
here
to
speak
to
it,
they'll
be
invited
to
come
up
to
the
diocese
and
speak
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
Proclamation
and
after
we
finish
the
four
we'll
come
down
and
we'll
take
four
separate
pictures.
E
Thank
you
mayor,
whereas
all
people
should
have
access
to
safe,
healthy
and
affordable
housing
homes
within
communities
that
provide
opportunity
and
whereas
the
U.S
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
defines
affordable
housing,
as
quote
housing
on
which
the
occupant
is
paying.
E
And
whereas
the
covid-19
pandemic
has
exacerbated
many
existing
Financial
constraints
for
low
and
moderate
income
housing.
Households.
And
where
is
the
Centers
for
Disease.
Control
and
prevention
recognize
safe,
healthy
and
affordable
housing
within
communities
of
opportunity
as
key
social
determinants,
determinants
of
health
and
whereas
everyone
benefits
from
affordable
housing,
including
the
people
who
reside
in
these
properties,
their
neighbors
businesses,
employers
and
the
community
as
a
whole.
E
And
whereas
United
to
raise
public
awareness,
people,
organizations
and
communities
throughout
King
County
are
participating
in
local,
affordable
housing
week
activities
to
elevate
the
critical
need
to
create
Healthy
Communities
with
ample
affordable
housing.
Now,
therefore,
I
on
behalf
of
Lynn
Robinson,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
Washington
and
on
behalf
of
its
city
council,
do
hereby
proclaim
the
week
of
May
7-13
2023
as
affordable
housing
week
in
Bellevue
and
commit
to
actions
and
efforts
to
ensure
Bellevue
residents
can
live
with
dignity
and
safe,
healthy
and
affordable
homes.
E
C
A
Lynn
Robinson
mayor
okay,
perfect,
so
we
have
here
to
accept
this
Proclamation
Jody
Alberts,
Chad
vacuum
and
Brady
Nordstrom
from
the
Housing
Development
Consortium
East,
Side,
housing,
Roundtable
and
the
East
Side,
affordable
housing
coalition.
Welcome.
F
Thank
you
mayor
and
City
Council
Members.
This
is
the
eighth
year
that
the
Housing
Development
development
Consortium,
has
been
coordinating,
affordable,
housing
week
and
the
City
of
Bellevue
has
been
strong
supporters
and
endorsers
all
the
way
through.
So
we
are
really
grateful
for
that
and
for
the
work
that
you've
been
doing,
to
bring
more
affordable
homes
to
to
the
city
of
Bellevue.
F
Part
of
the
goals
that
we
have
for
affordable
housing
week
are
not
only
to
call
attention
to
the
level
of
need,
but
to
really
dive
into
kind
of
the
policy
solutions
that
we
have
to
to
bring
more
homes
to
our
communities.
So
part
of
that
includes.
We
have
16
events
for
affordable
housing
week
that
are,
you
know,
go
across
the
Gambit
of
different
solutions
and
areas
that
pertain
to
affordable
housing
with
very
different
partners
that
are
contributing
to
those
events.
F
So
we
invite
you
all
to
join
us,
as,
as
you
can
to
attend
those
events
and
those
Partnerships
are
diverse
because
it
does
take
us
all
to
meet
the
housing
needs
that
we
have
for
our
community.
So
with
me,
I
have
two
very
important
partners
of
of
ours.
That
I'd
like
to
hand
it
off
to
and
see
if
they
can
say
a
couple
words
so
pretty.
G
G
Your
commitment
to
this
staff's
commitment
to
this
also
the
front
line
workers
that
are
out
there
that
are
doing
the
work
on
the
ground
with
the
immediate
needs
of
people
as
we
look
for
long-term
Solutions
and
also
there's
30
plus
organizations
in
the
Eastside,
affordable
housing
Coalition
that
are
working
as
well
to
come
up
with
with
ideas
that
can
work
in
Bellevue.
And
so
just
thank
you
all
again
and
thank
you
all.
The
residents
that
are
passionate
about.
H
Thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
awareness
to
this
issue
as
members.
In
addition
to
the
east
side,
housing
Roundtable,
representing
both
the
nonprofit
side
and
Industry.
We
really
understand
that
it
takes
an
entire
community
and
multiple
perspectives
really
in
order
to
address
this
complex
issue,
and
so
we
just
really
appreciate
the
city
of
bellevue's
partnership
and
staff
as
well
all
the
work
that
they've
done
and
in
handling
it
and
I
look
forward
to
moving
forward,
because
that
means
we're
going
to
be
closer
to
those
200
000
units.
So,
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
J
Okay,
thank
you
mayor
Robinson,
and
everybody
else
on
the
council.
Esteemed
council
members
I
have
some
prepared
comments
here,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
I
get
my
facts
right
again.
As
part
of
the
Proclamation
says.
According
to
the
U.S
Census
Bureau,
the
2019
American
Community
survey,
those
age
65
and
above
equal
14
of
the
Bellevue
population
that
was
2019..
J
The
Bellevue
Network
on
Aging
appreciates
the
council
for
this
Proclamation
recognizing
the
value
of
older
adults
and
their
contribution
to
the
community
of
Bellevue.
We
would
like
to
encourage
residents
of
Bellevue
that
identify
with
being
an
older
adult
to
celebrate
in
the
following
ways
embrace
the
opportunity
to
change
pushing
boundaries
by
not
letting
age
Define.
J
A
G
L
Good
evening,
mayor,
Robinson,
members
of
the
council,
so
the
bike
month,
Proclamation
that
Deputy
Mayor
Newhouse
just
wrote,
read,
spoke
to
the
community
and
personal
benefits
associated
with
bicycling
I
would
simply
add
that,
with
every
passing
year,
Bellevue
becomes
a
better
and
better
place
to
be
out
riding
your
bicycle.
L
So
the
we
make
are
making
incremental
improvements
every
year
to
the
streets
and
improving
facilities
so
that
a
broader
range
of
people
can
get
out
and
enjoy
the
benefits
that
bicycling
offers,
and
likewise
new
Trail
segments
generate
that
opportunity,
and
so
I
would
urge
that
everybody
consider
this
month
to
get
out
and
explore
and
see.
What's
there
and
discover
what's
new
terrific.

Lynn

city
of
Bellevue.
Thank.
N
Thank
you
so,
on
behalf
of
the
men
and
women
of
the
Bellevue
Police
Department
I'd
like
to
thank
the
mayor,
Deputy
Mayor
and
entire
Council
for
the
proclamation
it
does
make
it
extra
special
this
year,
as
I
have
the
honor
of
of
traveling
to
DC
in
a
few
days
to
represent
our
department
and
honor
our
fallen
officers
and
their
families
will
be
there
as
well.
So
thank
you
guys
very
much
for
the
proclamation.
A
Thank
you,
okay.
So,
let's,
let's
gather
up
our
affordable
housing
folk
first
and
we'll
do
pictures.
A
A
A
A
A
B
Thank
you
mayor
this
evening.
There
are
seven
pre-registered
speakers
so
before
I
start
calling
names
I'll
remind
the
public
of
a
few
of
our
rules.
Thank
you.
The
council
oral
Communications
is
for
a
period
to
last
no
more
than
30
minutes.
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.
B
In
addition,
I
need
to
remind
everyone
that,
in
compliance
with
Washington
state
public
disclosure
laws
regarding
the
use
of
public
facilities
during
elections,
no
election
related
topics
may
be
discussed
during
oral
Communications
or
other
public
participation
portions
of
the
agenda.
This
includes
discussion
of
ballot
measures,
endorsement
of
candidates
or
political
parties
or
speaking
on
behalf
of
a
campaign,
including
your
own.
P
Evening,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor,
new
in-house
council
members,
Deputy
or
city
manager,
Miyake
you're,
facing
a
crucial
decision
tonight
with
our
City's
Public
Safety
and
the
balance.
As
you
know,
the
temporary
action
taken
by
the
legislature
in
response
to
the
Blake
decision
expires
January
1st,
at
which
point
state
law
is
prohibiting.
The
possession
of
all
drugs,
including
heroin,
methamphetamines
and
Fentanyl,
will
expire
I
urge
the
city
council
to
mitigate
this
danger
by
passing
a
local
ordinance
to
prohibiting
The,
Possession
and
public
use
of
these
Controlled
Substances.
P
P
P
P
Second,
I
know
that
there
are
some
that
may
think
that
drug
legalization,
Isn't
So
radical
after
all,
washingtonians
legalize
cannabis,
a
number
of
years
back
and
other
countries
do
have
lacks
or
drug
laws.
However,
though,
some
Nations
have
implemented
partial
decriminalization,
that's
nothing
like
what
we're
talking
about
today
under
Progressive
policies
in
Portugal
and
the
Netherlands,
for
example,
public
drug
use
is
still
prohibited
and
possession
often
remains
a
civil
offense
with
consequences.
P
P
Failing
to
take
action
by
January.
Sorry,
July
1st
will
not
be
falling
in
the
footsteps
of
these
other
nations.
It
will
be
choosing
to
engage
in
a
radical
social
experiment,
subjecting
Bellevue
residence
workers,
students
and
visitors
to
an
unacceptable
risk
of
drug-related
crime.
Furthermore,
implicitly
legalizing
fentanyl
heroin,
cocaine,
meth
and
other
dangerous
substances
will
give
a
green
light
to
traffickers
preying
on
those
struggling
with
addiction
with
no
laws
prohibiting
possession
police
will
have
a
harder
time.
P
A
B
A
Q
A
Q
Okay,
go
ahead.
This
connects
to
the
safe
Coal
Creek
area
there,
between
red
town
and
across
Lakemont
to
Milt,
Swanson,
old
property
and
Coal
Creek
Park,
and
the
pinch
point
between
the
proposed
residential
development
and
the
South
border
of
that
Corridor
is
pretty
narrow
and
it
would
crowd
together
all
the
users,
including
the
animals
who
have
to
use
it.
Q
Crossing
Lakemont,
isn't
ideal
for
anyone,
and
a
wildlife
Corridor
going
under
Lakemont
along
Coal
Creek
would
be
really
helpful.
Parking
at
the
north
end
of
that
residentially
zoned
property
could
prevent
people
having
to
cross
Lakemont,
and
it
would
also
separate
them
from
the
animals
trying
to
go
along
Coal
Creek
at
the
South
End.
Q
R
Good
evening,
mayor
council,
members,
I
I,
think
Mr
Clark
said
it
so
much
more
eloquently
than
I
could
but
I'm
here
to
urge
you
to
move
forward
with
authorizing
this
staff
time
to
come
up
with
the
the
law
that
would
protect.
Bellevue
I
watched
the
legislature,
the
legislative
session
this
this
year
and,
quite
frankly,
I.
Don't
common
sense
is
in
short
supply
down
in
Olympia
as
far
as
I'm
concerned
and
I
am
not
putting
my
faith
in
our
legislators
in
finding
a
solution
to
this
or
passing
one.
R
That's
going
to
protect
Bellevue
citizens,
so
I'm
looking
each
one
of
you
in
the
eye
and
asking
you
to
be
a
B
for
Bellevue
council
member
and
to
pass
the
law
to
protect
us.
It
says
a
lot
when
you
think
that
crazy
Seattle
is
they're.
Looking
at
passing
a
law
and
Bellingham,
which
is
only
slightly
nuttier
or
slightly
less
nutty
than
Seattle,
is
also
looking
at
passing
along,
don't
forget,
I'm
from
Bellingham,
so
I
mean
I
was
a
little
worried
because
I
wasn't
hearing
anything
from
Bellevue.
R
A
B
B
Sorry,
it's
sorry
Miss
Hansberry,
yeah
I'll
get
you
in
just
a
second
all
right.
Your
time
begins
now.
S
My
name
is
Joyce
Hansberry
now
I'm
the
manager
of
Ashwood
Court
Apartments,
which
I
think
is
the
most
beautiful,
affordable,
senior,
low-income
housing
in
downtown
Bellevue
I've
been
here
18
years.
I
love,
Bellevue,
but
I
get
calls
from
people
every
day.
Looking
for
housing,
either
for
themselves,
I
have
to
be
62
or
older
are
for
their
parents.
The
people
that
are
here
I
want
to
say
are
here
because
they
love
Bellevue.
S
A
lot
of
them
have
grown
up
in
Bellevue,
raised
their
kids
in
Bellevue
they're,
your
mothers,
your
grandmothers,
your
grandfathers,
they're
former
teachers
in
the
Bellevue
school
system,
people
that
have
been
here
their
entire
lives.
We
just
need
more
affordable
housing
for
seniors.
Most
of
them
could
not
afford
four
to
eight
thousand
dollars
a
month
to
live.
Our
rates
are
very
affordable.
We're
tax
credit
I
invite
any
of
you
who
would
like
to
come
and
visit
to
see
our
facility
we're
completely
independent
living,
but
we
do
have
a
lot
of
amenities
and
I.
S
B
T
Good
evening
to
the
city,
council
and
all
the
other
attendees,
my
name
is
Patrick
sathyanathan
a
long
time
resident
of
Bellevue
in
recent
meetings.
I
believe
I
have
attended
three
of
them
and
expressed
concerns
about
the
Bellevue
Police
Department
I
heard
earlier
condolences
for
a
foreign
officer
and
by
my
expressing
my
concerns.
I
do
not
mean
to
risk
disrespect
or
belittle
any
of
the
officers
who
might
have
died
or
been
injured
in
the
course
of
their
Duty.
T
I
am
just
expressing
concerns
that
I
have
experienced
personally
and
I
believe
I
have
referred
to
in
the
past.
My
concern
about
the
lack
of
body,
cameras
and
I
was
assured
by
somebody
that
that
item
has
been
budgeted
for,
but
I
have
not
received
any
confirmation
about
that.
T
I
refer
use
that
term
sort
of
akin
to
the
friends
and
family
policy,
some
large
companies
and
retail
stores
offer
to
their
employees
and
by
that
I
mean
I,
have
often
encountered
people
in
plain
clothes
accompanying
uniformed
police
officers.
When
they
arrest
me
or
visit
my
home
and
upon
being
asked
who
such
plain
clothes
people
are,
I
am
huge.
I
have
usually
been
told
that
they
are
detectives,
they
don't
need
uniforms,
they
don't
need
badges
of
any
kind,
they
are
Detectives.

Okay,
I,
oh.
B
U
Okay,
my
name
is
Susan
Sherman
I
live
at
Ashwood
Court
Apartments
at
11018
Northeast
11th
Street
on
the
North
End
of
Bellevue
I'm,
here
tonight,
to
speak
in
favor
of
your
efforts
to
increase
the
amount
of
affordable
housing
in
Bellevue
after
a
court
where
I
live
is
an
affordable
housing
apartment
for
seniors
who
earn
less
than
50
percent
of
the
area.
Median
income
and
I
can
tell
you
every
day,
I
speak
to
people
who
really
really
need
affordable
housing
and
some
that
can't
even
afford
our
prices.
U
So
what
you're
doing
with
the
plan
downtown
is
really
good.
Even
it's
really
just
a
drop
in
the
bucket
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
keep
going
and
do
more.
We
need
more
housing
in
Bellevue,
a
lot
more
housing
and
not
just
in
downtown.
We
need
more
housing
for
people
of
every
age,
every
income
level,
but
especially
affordable
housing
for
people
who
grew
up
in
Bellevue
who
work
in
Bellevue,
have
raised
their
families
in
Bellevue
and
have
contributed
to
the
city's
successes
and
who
want
to
keep
living
in
Bellevue.
Thank
you
very
much.

Coal

preserving
the

property
for
public
use,
I'm,
the
president
of
Newcastle
Trails
of
501c3,
non-profit,
founded
in
1999.,
we've,
always
regarded
Bellevue
as
a
model
for
excellence
with
a
fine
parks
department
and
a
great
system
of
parks
and
trails.
Newcastle's
Trail
signs
and
trails
are
modeled.
After
bellevue's
in
the
past,
Newcastle
Trails
hosted
trail
walks
of
up
to
200
people
using
the
Coal
Creek
and
Cougar
Mountain
trails
with
Walkers
drawn
from
a
wide
region.
Locally.
V
V
That
area
is
unique,
an
old
barn,
Meadows
and
trees,
a
Last
Remnant
of
the
1800s
Farm
landscape
once
developed
it
can
never
be
replaced.
It
occupies
a
key
position
in
a
trail
and
Wildlife
Corridor
stretching
from
Lake
Washington
to
Cougar
Mountain
and
the
Cascades.
The
Coal
Creek
Trail
is
an
important
Regional
Trail.
It
links
the
East
rail
to
Cougar
Mountain
and
connects
at
many
points
with
newcastle's
trail
system
with
a
growing
population
and
increasing
access
by
public
transportation
usage
is
bound
to
grow.

You

It's
very
interesting
in

You

Never

a

What

I.
Remember
myself,
when
I'm
250
years
ago,
in
about

you
freaking
degenerate
idiot
who's.
It
is
this
chamber
for
many
years
same
people
and
look
what
has
happened
in
Bellevue
right
now.
W
I'll
leave

years.
50

people
cannot
afford

rent
approximately

Are

50
000
people
in
Belgium
cannot
ever
breathe
because
your
Crooks

million
bucks.
For
my
understanding,
maybe
maybe
more

10
years.
Only

I
hear

W
You

B
That
is
the
end
of
our
pre-registered
list.
We
do
still
have
a
few
minutes
of
oral
Communications
before
I.
Ask
if
there's
any
additional
speakers.
I
need
to
just
mention
that
under
item
11a
this
evening,
there's
a
land
use
quasi-judicial
item
which
we
cannot
take
any
public
comment
on
with
that
being
said,
is
there
anyone
in
the
audience
with
us
or
joining
us
virtually
who
would
like
to
comment?
B
Kelly
much
I
see
your
hand
raised
I
do
have
you
on
our
public
hearing
list,
though
I'm
going
to
ask
you
really
quickly?
Were
you
planning
on
speaking
on
the
public
hearing.
X
You
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name
is
Kelly
Munch
and
I'm.
A
native
eastsider
I
am
very
much
Pro,
affordable
housing,
I
live
in,
affordable
housing
planning
for
more
affordable
housing
needs
to
be
looked
into.
I
feel
it's
not
a
time
for
small
incremental
work.
There's
not
enough
housing
to
accommodate
all
many
current,
affordable
housing
units
are
quite
mature,
they
need
upgrades
or
replacement
more
affordable.
Housing
is
needed,
I'd
been
homeless
and
my
friends
and
fellow
homeless
need
a
place
to
live.
There
needs
to
be.
My
needs,
are
small,
a
kitchen,
a
shower
an
accessible
service.
B
B
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
This
is
scary
for
us
that
one
in
their
20s
to
have
to
listen
to
so
this
is
happening
out
there,
and
people
may
not
be
aware
of
it
we're
kind
of
spoiled
in
Bellevue.
We
don't
have
to
deal
with
it
as
much,
but
I'm
telling
you.
This
is
stuff
happening
on
a
regular
basis
in
Seattle,
and
it's
really
scary
for
them.
Y
Y
A
Y
A
B
A
B
Do
we
have
three
we
put?
The
last
comment
in
for
I
would
say
we're
at
three
for
the
council
business
item
around.
Z
Q
B
AA
Okay,
so
I'll
just
read
this
I
found
in
a
it's
by
John
Adams
about
our
constitution,
and
he
said
the
oh.
He
was
one
of
the
founders
of
our
United
States
of
America.
The
end
of
the
institution,
maintenance
and
administration
of
government
is
to
secure
the
existence
of
the
body
politic,
to
protect
it
and
to
furnish
the
individuals
who
compose
it,
with
the
power
of
enjoying
in
safety
and
Tranquility
their
natural
rights
and
the
blessings
of
life,
and
whenever
these
great
objects
are
not
obtained.
AA
A
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
then
we
have
a
request
under
Council
business
and
new
initiatives
from
deputy
mayor
regarding
the
Blake
decision
and
so
I'm
going
to
let
Deputy
Mayor
I'm
going
to
have
you
introduce
it
and
then
you
can
make
a
motion
and
then
we
shall
discuss
great.
K
Thank
you
mayor,
hopefully
pretty
straightforward
as
Court
of
other
cities
that
have
already
adopted
or
in
the
process
of
adopting
a
similar
type
of
ordinances,
because,
unfortunately,
in
the
2023
session,
the
Washington
State
Legislature,
unfortunately,
could
not
agree
on
laws
to
protect
our
community
from
the
impacts
of
controlled
substance
abuse
and
help
those
suffering
from
addiction
and
help
them
find
a
path
to
treatment.
K
So
without
the
passage
of
a
practical
solution
under
state
law,
starting
July
1st,
there
will
be
no
meaningful
way
to
prohibit
the
unlawful
possession
or
use
of
dangerous
drugs,
including
heroin,
fentanyl
Etc
in
the
city
of
Bellevue.
Now,
clearly
in
Bellevue,
we
lead
with
compassion
and
when
it
comes
to
substance
abuse.
However,
it's
critical
also
to
have
consequences
available
for
our
police
office
officers
and
and
to
hold
people
accountable
for
their
criminal
actions
against
a
Community
member
or
a
business
without
proper
support
and
encouragement,
a
person
may
not
with
a
substance.
K
So,
while
individuals
are
dying
of
overdoses
or
watch
drug
related
property
and
violent
crimes
negatively
impacting
our
neighborhoods
and
businesses,
this
is
I
believe
a
straightforward
ordinance
for
staff
to
begin
drafting
legislation,
specifically
the
city
attorney's
office,
and
adopt
an
ordinance
to
make
it
a
crime
to
knowingly
possess
or
publicly
use
controlled
substances
in
the
city
of
Bellevue.
Now,
although
Governor
Inslee
has
recently
called
for
a
special
session
to
address
this
issue,
there
is
no
guarantee
that
the
legislature
will
be
able
to
reach
an
agreement.
K
K
As
you
may
be
aware,
King
County
has
already
seen
record-breaking
overdose
deaths
and
we're
on
par
to
break
that
record
again.
Unfortunately,
this
year,
so
I
will
now
introduce
the
ordinance
and
would
certainly
or
the
motion
and
certainly
would
appreciate
my
colleague's
support.
I
moved
to
have
the
city
attorney's
office,
conduct
any
necessary
research
and
provide
the
council
with
potential
options
to
adopt
an
ordinance
making
it
a
crime,
either
misdemeanor
or
gross
misdemeanor
to
knowingly
possess
or
publicly
use,
Controlled
Substances
except
cannabis
or
counterfeit
substances.
AB
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor
that
support
the
staff,
doing
the
work,
I
guess
some
questions
or.
A
O
O
AB
Okay,
I
guess
I'll
just
go
into
my
question.
My
comments
and
I'll
just
say:
I.
Think
one
of
the
challenging
things
for
me
I
know:
there's
a
balance
here
is
criminalizing
someone
who
does
have
a
substance,
use
disorder
and
and
needs
the
supports,
I
I
guess
what
I
would
like
to
see
when
this
comes
back
is
an
assessment
to
understand
the
disproportion,
any
disproportionate
impacts
in
our
community.
AB
If
it's,
if
it's
focused
on
public
use,
for
example,
you
know,
there's
a
there's
members
of
our
community,
who
may
also
be
consuming
right
or
using
who
we
just
don't
see,
but
we
see
a
certain
segment
of
people
who
maybe
use
or
or
possess.
AB
I
would
like
to
understand
the
disproportionate
impacts
there
and
then
in
the
in
the
code
or
ordinance
that
comes
back
some
Nuance
that
considers
occurrence
how
many
times
have
they
surfaced:
I
guess
that
person,
who's,
experienced
substance,
use
disorder
and
then
some
nuance
and
sort
of
possession
personal
possession
versus
intent
to
distribute.
You
know
along
those
lines
and
then
finally,
just
given
sort
of
the
the
burden
around
misdemeanors
the
cost,
the
fines
and
the
fees
and
such
I'd
be
interested
in
any
programming.
AB
That
would
supplement
this
to
address
the
inequities
related
to
the
fines
and
fees,
and
that
might
include
waivers
waiver
programs
or
something
like
that
as
well
as
maybe,
if
there's
any
diversion
associated
with
this
as
well.
D
I
appreciate
what
council
member
box
do
was
asking
and
I
think
that's
very
thoughtful
and
I
believe
that
this
these
things
should
be
considered
not
to
belittled
it,
but
I
believe
that.
However,
you
know
this
is
the
issue
that
we
need
to
address
right
now,
because
you
know
the
state
legislature
failed
to
act.
We
heard
very
eloquently
from
one
of
our
speakers.
D
You
know
Mr
Paul
Clark,
who
obviously
have
looked
into
this,
and
we
cannot,
you
know
just
rest
and
depend
on
the
legislature
to
do
it
in
the
meantime.
You
know
we
have
a
gap.
Hopefully
the
governor
will
come
up
with
a
you
know,
firmative
solution
and
then
we'll
be
in
a
clear.
However,
we
don't
know
that
for
sure,
so
we
need
to
be
responsible
for
our
residents
for
our
citizens,
and
you
know
so
this.
This
will
take
time.
D
This
is
something
that
would
be
a
process,
a
social
change
process,
we're
going
to
go
through
and
many
things
we
don't
know.
That's
why
I
appreciate
what
council
member
box
did
mentioned?
We
need
to
be
flexible,
however.
We
need
to
have
a
baseline,
which
we
have
to
protect.
What
we
know-
and
we
don't
know
what
we
don't
know,
but
we
have
to
work
on
it,
so
I
would
definitely
support.
D
Having
a
way
of
you
know
addressing
this
issue
and
second
I
believe
that
I
appreciate
deputy
mayor
of
proposing
this
have
a
stop
to
look
at
it.
You
know
for
more
than
eight
hours.
If,
however,
the
cancer
Greece
you
know,
even
today,
we
don't
need
to
have
another
action
for
the
staff
to
bring
back.
If
we
want
to
do
something,
we
should
be
able
to
tell
the
staff:
let's
approve
it,
let's
go,
do
it
and
whatever
time
it
takes,
you
know
way
behind
it.
We
do
this
most
of
the
time.
D
Actually
we
don't
always
vote
on
issue
and
give
the
staff
Direction
I'll,
give
you
eight
hours
to
look
into
it.
We
say
this
is
a
council
policy.
The
council
makes
a
policy
we
decide
to
do
it,
stop
please
do
it
and
I
hope
that
today
we
can
do
the
same
thing,
the
SEC.
The
second
point
is,
as
we
know
again,
the
speaker
has
said,
and
many
of
them
has
said.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
this
is
effective.
This
is
that
works
as
part
of
the
process.
D
I
appreciate
investor
and
to
make
it
work
has
to
be
significant
enough
of
a
consequence
that
would
use
this
consequence.
So
I
will
propose
that
if
we
have
to
make
a
work,
we're
going
to
make
it
stick,
so
I
will
propose
even
looking
at
gross
misdemeanor
rather
than
you
know,
misdemeanor
I,
don't
know
what
it
takes
to
do.
It
I
have
no
clue,
but
at
least
we
start
with
something.
A
D
This
yeah,
so
this
is
something
we
want
to
know.
Okay,
but
I
just
want
to
be
sure
that,
let's
just
know
be
wishy-washy
just
take
time,
come
back
talk,
talk,
come
back,
I
just
want
to
say.
If
we
agree
to
this,
let's
be
sure,
let's
tell
the
public,
we
stand
for
this
somebody.
Some
people
already
had
concern
it's
about.
We
doing
something
well,
so
I'm
really
glad
that
we're
doing
something
today.
Now
many
of
our
neighboring
cities
already
doing
it,
they
already.
Okay,.
D
E
E
Yes,
thank
you,
mayor
I,
agree
with
the
with
the
proposal
and
I
think
eight
hours
a
little
bit
more
and
a
day
is,
is
a
good
time.
It's
not
a
big
delay
at
all.
I'm,
not
concerned
about
that.
What
I,
what
I
think
that
means
is
and
I
appreciate
the
deputy
mayor
proposing
it
this
way
is
that
I
think
we
all
agree
that
we
need
to
deal
with
this
and
deal
with
it
now
and
if
the
state
comes
up
and
something
else
we'll
work
on
that.
E
But
there
are
nuances
to
it,
and
you
know
it's
it's
a
it's
something.
That
is
very
very
if,
if
everybody
had
a
good
solution
for
it
would
probably
be
not
talking
about
it.
So
we're
we're
getting
into
something.
That's
going
to
be
very,
very
helpful
in
this,
and
it's
not
just
drugs
that
are
problems
out
in
this
in
the
community
and
why
people
are
have
are
have
you
know,
hurt
people
or
have
crimes
and
things
like
that.
But
that's
another
matter.
E
The
real
thing
we
have
to
deal
with-
and
we
know
that
is-
is
public
people
using
drugs
in
public
and
and
having
you
know,
real
adverse
effects
on
the
community,
and
we
need
to
deal
with
that.
I
think
we're
you've
put
together
a
very
good
proposal
on
this,
and
you
know
we
don't
want
to
just
get
people
and
put
them
in
jail.
We
want
to
and
I
appreciate
your
put
framing
it
in.
E
A
M
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor
newenhouse,
for
bringing
this
forward
I
strongly
support.
This
a
lot
of
cities
are
are
convening
together.
Sca
has
been
convening
cities
to
work
on
this
issue
in
Pierce
County.
The
county
executive
has
been
convening
cities
to
work
on
this
issue.
This
is
a
real
issue.
Drug
abuse
and
addiction
is
a
absolute
Public
Health
crisis.
M
We
are
losing
2.47
people
to
overdoses
a
day
in
King
County
2.29
of
those
are
fentanyl
fentanyl,
so
we
have
a
real
problem
and
a
lot
of
the
folks
are
suffering
but
will
not
get
help
and
a
lot
of
drug
addiction
drives
a
lot
of
crime.
So
this
Public
Health
crisis
is
also
leading
to
a
crime
crisis,
so
I'm
very
supportive.
What
I
would
like
to
see
come
forward
is
annoying.
Obviously,
it's
a
knowing
possession.
That
was
what
the
Blake
case
was
all
about.
Making
it
be
a
gross
misdemeanor.
M
I
would
also
like
to
see
it
be
a
crime
to
use
drugs
in
public.
Many
cities
already
passed
that
portion
of
the
law
and
many
cities
are
also
going
towards
the
knowing
possession
as
a
gross
misdemeanor,
to
be
effective.
July
1st,
when
the
when
the
Blake
semi-fix
goes
away.
I
also
wanted
to
mention
that
Kent
has
been
a
leader
on
this,
the
City
of
Kent.
They
have
created
an
ordinance
which
they
passed
a
couple
weeks
ago,
creating
an
alternative,
all
deferred
prosecution.
M
I
can't
maybe
bring
my
own
writing
the
alternative
of
deferred
prosecution
program
and
they're,
using
the
opioid
settlement
money
to
pay
for
and
help
fund
drug
treatment
for
the
people
who
choose
door
number
one
deferred
prosecution,
I'm
going
to
get
treatment,
but
then
people
some
people
won't
pick
door
number
one
in
which
case
there
has
to
be
a
criminal
penalty
and
a
consequence
because
we
just
this
is
just
such
a
crisis.
We
have
to
do
something.
We
cannot
allow
public
drug
use
and
or
drug
possession
to
become
legal
in
Bellevue.
A
I
Thank
you.
You
know
I
too,
support
this
request
to
do
the
research
and
come
back
with
the
options
to
understand.
What's
going
on,
I
too
understand
that
SCA
has
convened
cities
together,
cities
have
already
some
have
already
acted,
so
it's
good
for
us
to
understand
what
the
other
cities
are
doing
and
why
and
understand
the
nuances
so
that
when
the
information
comes
back,
we
can
make
that
thoughtful
determination
about
how
we
actually
look
at
the
the
policy
that
needs
to
be
adopted,
as
well
as
the
support
that
some
of
my
colleagues
have
already
brought
up.
I
I
guess,
for
me,
the
part
I'm
trying
to
understand
is
in
order
for
us
to
get
something
passed
before
July
1.
You
know,
I
know
that
we've
got
Memorial
Weekend
we've
got.
We
don't
have
a
meeting
on
the
15th.
So
when
do
we
expect
this
to
come
back
so
that
we'll
actually
be
able
to
have
time
to
digest
and
understand
before
we
vote.
AC
C
AC
We
can,
but,
as
you
point
out,
there
is
no
meeting
on
the
15th
so
depending
on
the
scope
of
the
information
we
need
to
pull
together,
we
might
be
able
to
come
back
in
a
study
session
on
the
22nd,
but
we'd
want
to
make
sure
we
understand
the
full
scope
of
the
information.
If
we
can't
get
all
information,
we
could
still
come
back
with
some
on
the
22nd.
But
yes,
this
will.
This
is,
will
be
a
general
ordinance
with
a
30-day
effective
date,
so
it
won't
take
effect
for
30
days.
So,
oh.
I
AC
I
AC
I
A
Sooner
the
better.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
I'll
just
say
that
I
I
he
I
was
on
a
call
with
a
bunch
of
Mayors
from
the
region,
and
everybody
agreed
that
we
need
to
be
consistent,
that
you
can't
have
every
city
having
a
different
interpretation
of
this.
So
hopefully
in
your
research,
you
can
look
at
what
other
cities
are
doing
and
we
can
come
up
with
something
that
works
for
everybody.
I,
like
Auburn's
recommendation
that
there
be
the
ability
to
vacate
a
criminal
record
following
treatment,
I
and
I.
AC
One
of
the
things
we
will
be
prepared
to
come
back
and
talk
about
is
what
we
currently
do
for
diversion.
So,
even
though
we're
not
charging
simple
possession
right
now,
we
do
charge
for
crimes
like
shoplifting
or
other
crimes,
where
it's
obvious
that
drug
use
is
is
an
issue,
and
so
we
do
already
have
processes
in
place
where
we
do
divert
people
into
treatment
and
would
certainly
plan
on
coming
back.
When
we
come
back
to
you
and
talk
about
what
we
currently
have
in
place.
A
A
O
Z
You
thank
you
Deputy
city
manager
and
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor,
new
in
house,
and
all
we
are
back
again
so
and
you're
going
to
get
sick
of
me
tonight.
So
I
should
give
you
a
warning
I'm
at
the
table
three
times.
So
just
you
know,
get
get
ready,
so
big
night
lots
of
activities,
so
we
did
at
Council
Direction
plan
to
come
back
this
evening.
As
the
WC
manager
mentioned.
Z
We
were
here
on
April
17th
last
speaking
about
this
issue
and
the
council
directed
that
they
really
wanted
us
to
move
quickly
and
come
back.
So
we
have
come
back
this
evening
to
speak
again
about
the
residential,
far
increase
and
hold
the
public
hearing.
So
the
direction
the
council
consideration
tonight
is
to
hold
the
public
hearing
and
then
potentially
move
to
adopt
the
ordinance
as
drafted.
We
have
also
provided
some
potential
other
options
for
council
at
the
request
from
our
last
meeting
and
Matthew
will
be
going
through
those
as
we
move
forward
in
our
presentation.
Z
Z
We
will
also
talk
about
the
details
for
this
far
increase
for
the
ioc,
we'll
talk
about
the
direction
that
we
received
the
last
study
session
and
bring
you
back
some
information
that
you
had
requested
at
that
time
and,
lastly,
we'll
give
you
the
staff
recommendation
and
input
and
then
we'll
go
through
the
process,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
hand
it
over
to
Matthew
who
will
run
through
the
presentation.
Thank
you.
AD
AD
So
we,
as
Liz
mentioned,
we
have
seen
these
previously
at
the
study
session,
and
it
was
two
weeks
ago
so
I
will
run
through
these
relatively
quickly,
but
for
the
benefit
of
the
public,
I
will
still
go
through
these
slides.
So
this
is
part
of
the
next
right
work.
The
real
goal
of
nextrate
work
is
to
increase
both
the
production
of
market
rate
and
affordable
housing
throughout
the
city.
AD
So
the
intern
official
control,
the
geographic
scope
is
limited
to
downtown.
The
goal
of
this
is
to
quickly
respond
to
application,
ready
projects
and
to
test
this
far
increase
to
make
sure,
as
we
move
into
the
permanent
Luca
with
phase
two,
that
we
are
hitting
the
right
numbers
and
meeting
our
intent.
The
objectives
of
this
ioc
are
to
increase
residential
development
downtown
with
that
increase,
we
do
want
to
increase
the
affordable
housing
production
as
you've
heard
already
tonight.
AD
There
are
three
tools
proposed
to
do
this:
a
higher
far
for
residential
projects
in
exchange
for
affordable
housing,
we'll
discuss
the
details
of
that
shortly.
Development,
flexibility
for
projects
with
affordable
housing
and
flexibility
on
Far
utilization
within
a
downtown
perimeter.
I
do
want
to
stress
again
that
that
flexibility
is
not
an
FR
transfer
program
and
it
will
have
to
be
utilized
on
a
single
site.
AD
So
here
we
have
the
timeline
for
both
phase
one
and
phase
two.
This
is
the
last
step
of
phase
one.
If
you
do
take
action
tonight,
as
we
are
recommending
public
hearing
and
action,
we
will
then
move
into
phase
two
which
will
be
a
larger
exploration
of
incurring
residential
in
the
mixed-use
districts.
It
will
be
permanent
regulations.
AD
So
our
recommendation
for
this
ioc
is
to
increase
the
exempt
far
allowed
for
downtown
districts.
Currently,
one
far
is
allowed
to
be
exempt.
If
the
ratio
of
affordable
housing
to
market
rate
housing
provided
is
1
to
2.5,
we
are
encouraging
that
to
be
increased
to
50
percent
of
the
base.
Far
in
any
District.
This
will
give
a
range
for
any
district
downtown
of
1.35
to
4.5,
we're
also
proposing
increased
development
flexibility,
specifically
within
the
perimeter
overlay
allowing
for
increased
Heights.
AD
If
you
meet
a
threshold
of
affordable
housing
that
exempts
square
footage
provided
a
reduction
in
the
step
back
and
an
increase
in
lot
coverage.
I
will
note
that
the
lot
coverage
increase
currently
does
already
exist
in
our
downtown
code.
We
are
also
proposing
some
downtown
wide
flexibility
on
parking,
eliminating
the
minimum
parking
requirement
for
affordable
housing
units,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
also
proposing
a
perimeter
overlay,
far
flexibility.
AD
We
have
heard
from
several
development
entities
that,
with
the
form
standards
in
our
perimeter,
overlay
districts
they're
not
able
to
reach
that
far,
which
is
hampering
the
development
of
housing
in
those
areas.
So
we
are
proposing
allowing
them
to
move
some
of
that
unused
far
outside
of
the
perimeter
overlay
if
they
do
have
a
project
that
transcends
those
districts.
AD
We
went
out
for
stakeholder
input
on
this.
The
big
item
for
stakeholder
input.
The
big
discussion
item
was
that
ratio
I'll
remind
you.
The
current
ratio
is
for
every
one
square:
foot
of
affordable
housing,
you're
allowed
2.5
square
feet
of
market
rate
housing.
We
heard
from
the
East
side,
affordable
housing
Coalition
that
their
preferred
market
rate
to
affordable
housing
ratio
is
three
to
one
or
25
percent
affordable.
We
are
proposing
four
to
one
and
we
did
hear
from
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
plush
group
that
their
preferred
number
was
six
to
one.
AD
AD
AD
With
a
request
for
input,
we
do
have
input
that
you
have
been
provided
from
viewcrest
Owners
Association.
They
have
requests
that
the
step
back
in
A1
be
eliminated.
Additionally,
there
was
a
request
to
remove
the
ioc
from
both
from
A1
B1
and
B2.
I
have
not
specifically
heard
from
the
old
Bellevue
Merchants
Association.
We
have
had
input
from
downtown
developer
in
Old
Bellevue,
requesting
that
the
building
Heights
actually
be
increased
to
150
feet
to
allow
Concrete
Construction
types.
AD
We
do
have
one
piece
of
input
for
the
debt
from
a
downtown
residence,
but
not
specifically
from
the
residence
Association
requesting
at
the
step.
Back
reduction
in
Old
Bellevue
be
eliminated
on
Main
Streets
setting
concerns
with
shadowing.
We
also
met
with
the
Bellevue
Downtown
Association,
to
give
them
an
update
on
this
project
and
discuss
the
study
session
a
little
bit
deeper.
They
have
also
provided
you
with
input
that
has
been
given
to
you
today.
AD
So
we
have
looked
at
the
impacts
of
the
height
increase
in
the
step
back
reduction.
We
do
believe
the
impacts
will
be
minimal.
It's
a
relatively
minimal
height
increase,
especially
with
taller
buildings.
You
know
the
wedding
cake
that
we
talked
about
being.
In
the
backdrop
we
do
require
variation
in
facade,
so
you're
not
going
to
get
large
flat
facades
anywhere
in
downtown.
We
do
require
street
level
amenities
as
well
through
the
land
use
code,
specifically
in
Old
Bellevue
on
Main
Street,
as
it
is
part
of
the
grand
connection.
We
require
additional
street
level
amenities.
AD
This
picture
that
I
provided
for
you
in
the
presentation
here
can
show
some
of
those
amenities.
It
also
shows
that
variation
in
facade
our
current
regulations
also
do
allow
a
reduction
in
this
step
back
if
certain
conditions
have
been
met
and
again,
we
did
contact
the
neighbors
for
input.
Viewcrest
has
requested
that
the
adjacent
step
back
reduction
to
viewcrest
be
taken
out
of
the
ioc.
AD
So
we
haven't
asked
to
provide
you
with
some
language
that
has
been
provided
in
your
Council
packet
option.
One
is
to
remove
the
step
back
reduction
in
Perimeter
overlay.
A1
only
option
two
would
be
to
remove
that
in
A1
and
Main
Street
through
old
Bellevue.
Additionally,
we
were
asked
to
provide
some
additional
language
to
remove
A1
and
the
downtown
old
Bellevue
District
in
their
entirety
from
the
ioc.
That
would
mean
that
none
of
the
provisions
of
the
ioc,
including
the
far
transfer
and
the
exemption
increase,
would
apply
to
these
areas.
AD
And
finally,
how
do
we
measure
success?
Currently,
our
downtown
program
is
not
well
utilized.
What
we've
seen
is
developers
that
we're
going
to
provide
affordable
housing
anyway
have
used
the
program.
Otherwise,
it's
not
been
taken
up.
So
an
increase
in
utilization
of
this
program
of
this
exemption
would
be
a
success
for
us.
We
are
really
trying
to
set
a
foundation
for
phase
two
as
well.
AD
We
did
have
that
study
session
two
weeks
ago
and
we're
here
tonight
requesting
a
public
hearing
and
some
action
on
this
ioc
and
with
that
mirror.
I
will
turn
it
back
to
you.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
A
B
Thank
you
mayor.
There
are
10
speakers
and
before
you
start
calling
names,
I
will
note
that
this
public
hearing
was
published
in
the
permit
bulletin,
as
well
as
a
paper
of
General
circulation
and
pursuant
to
that
notice.
The
council
did
receive
five
written
comments
which
are
included
in
your
desk
packet
for
this
evening
and
with
that
I'll
call.
Our
first
Speaker,
which
is
Cindy
Jew,
who
is
joining
us
I,
believe
virtually.
B
Okay,
I'm
gonna
Circle
back
to
her.
The
next
speaker
is
Matt
Jack.
H
Good
evening,
mayor
Robinson
and
council
members,
Jody
Alberts
VP
of
government
Affairs
for
the
Bellevue
Chamber.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
comment
on
the
far
Luca
this
evening
with
the
Bellevue
Chamber,
certainly
appreciate
the
council
and
staff's
diligence
in
addressing
the
affordable
housing
need
in
Bellevue
and
in
working
to
determine
how
best
to
effectively
provide
that
need
through
incentivizing
private
sector
development.
H
We
believe
that
those
two
items
will
be
critically
important
for
achieving
our
affordable
housing
goals
across
the
board,
from
Industries
perspective
and
being
able
to
achieve
those
numbers
and
truly
making
it
pencil
for
them,
and
so
there,
the
private
sector
will
truly
have
a
better
Foundation
of
which
to
to
build
our
affordable
housing
Supply
and
to
ensure
this
is
the
case.
H
We
also
and
strongly
encourage
staff
to
include
plush
when
evaluating
phase
one
of
the
ioc
as
they
did
prior
to
drafting
the
interim
official
control,
so
determining
whether
industry
can
operate
under
these
policies
will
again
be
Paramount
to
achieving
our
Collective
goals.
AF
Hello,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
to
thank
you
for
your
thoughtful
consideration
of
each
and
every
existing
and
proposed
residential
neighborhood
within
Bellevue,
and
your
regard
for
our
quality
of
life
in
relation
to
the
whole
of
the
city
of
Bellevue.
I.
Think
it's
important
to
think
carefully
about
how
each
new
regulation
affects
not
only
the
new
and
incoming
but
the
existing
constituency.
AF
One
of
my
main
concerns
is
I,
live
in
viewcrest
and
I
have
worked
in
Bellevue
for
over
30
years,
I'm
concerned
about
the
buffer
between
an
established,
neighborhood
and
high
density
housing
and
having
to
mitigate
any
problems
with
that
in
the
future,
especially
on
100th,
Avenue
Northeast.
AF
I'm
concerned
about
that
particular
Street
becoming
a
back
alley
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
and
I.
Don't
want
that
to
happen.
I,
don't
think
enough
has
been
discussed
regarding
the
traffic
congestion,
the
parking
and
the
short-term
pullover
stops
of
additional
vehicles,
and
that
all
happens
with
an
increase
in
density.
AF
My
second
concern
would
be
for
the
community
of
viewcrest
impacted
in
some
of
the
most
simplistic
ways
as
far
as
shadowing
and
the
creation
of
shade
zones
from
buildings
putting
aside
those
privacy
violations,
because
our
own
yards
are
now
on
display
from
high
rise
windows,
but
in
regards
to
low-income
housing
with
no
parking.
I'm
also
concerned
about
parking
issues
which
are
already
a
problem
in
our
neighborhood
and
to
me,
low-income
housing
should
be
the
first
place
that
gets
parking
either
included.
AF
It
seems
odd
that
we're
requesting
that
Working
Poor
receive
an
option
of
purchasing
or
renting
parking
at
even
a
discount,
so
if
they
have
no
Eternal
alternative
to
find
someplace
to
park
their
cars
within
neighborhoods
surrounding
high
density
right
now,
if
you
leave
your
car
outside
Even
in
our
viewcrest
neighborhood,
it's
likely
to
be
broken
into,
or
at
least
have
the
catalytic
converter
converter
stolen.
AF
AG
F
F
We
appreciate
the
intent
of
the
phase
one
ioc
to
increase
production
and
are
grateful
to
both
the
council
and
City
staff
for
the
opportunity
to
be
engaged
in
this
process
and
I
do
especially
want
to
shout
out
the
city
staff
who
has
been
open
to
coming
to
the
affordable
housing
community
to
solicit
feedback.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that.
F
We
believe
that
mandatory
inclusionary
zoning
is
more
likely
to
result
in
meaningful
amounts
of
affordable
housing
than
incentive.
Zoning
and
we've
seen
through
our
neighbors
in
Redmond's
experience.
That
shows
that
there
can
be
mandatory,
inclusionary
zoning
policy
that
can
be
implemented
while
continuing
to
have
healthy,
real
estate
development
activity.
F
We
believe
that
a
fair
incentive
based
system
would
count
all
square
footage
that
it's
attributable
to
to
that
change
and
that
should
be
factored
into
the
affordable
housing
ratio.
F
And
finally,
we
strongly
support
the
continued
ability
to
stack
the
program
with
mfte
to
reach
deeper
affordability
levels,
and
we
urge
the
city
of
Bellevue
to
expand
mfte
program
to
include
affordable
home
ownership
as
well
and
to
explore
that
into
the
future
and
with
that
I
will.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
comment
and
for
your
thoughtful
engagement
in
this
issue.
Thank
you.
B
AE
B
AE
You,
council,
members
and
City
staff.
My
name
is
Cindy
Jew
and
I'm
with
Heinz
we're
the
developers
of
the
Main
Street
Place
mixed
use,
project
in
downtown
Bellevue
I
wanted
to
first
thank
the
city,
council
and
development
services
staff
for
recognizing
the
importance
of
adopting
the
ioc
as
quickly
as
possible
to
address
the
severe
housing
shortage
that
we
are
facing
in
Bellevue.
AE
From
our
perspective,
the
far
exemption
provided
within
the
ioc
does
indeed
create
a
strong
incentive
for
developers
to
add
more
housing,
including
more
additional
additional
affordable
units
in
projects
such
as
ours
that
are
currently
in
planning,
particularly
for
Main
Street
Place.
This
means
being
able
to
provide
an
additional
two
stories
of
housing
on
our
residential
buildings.
A
meaningful
increase
to
the
number
of
units
offered.
AE
The
ioc
aligns
with
and
supports
this
vision
of,
creating
a
true
live
work
play
community.
We
strongly
believe
an
approach
that
the
city
is
taking
and
believe
that
it
will
translate
into
many
more
desperately
needed
units
of
housing
in
the
downtown
area.
We
advocate
in
support
of
the
Swift
adoption
of
the
ioc.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
AH
I
can
hear
you
charming.
Can
you
hear
me.
AH
Perfect
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson
council
members,
I'm
commenting
on
behalf
of
the
Bellevue
Downtown
Association,
to
express
our
support
for
the
city
staff's
proposed
phase,
one
implementation
of
the
interim
official
control
that
you
will
be
discussing
this
evening.
As
Matthew
had
noted
earlier
in
his
presentation,
the
BDA
convened
a
group
of
stakeholders
last
week
to
review
the
ioc
and
cover
the
the
questions
that
Council
posed
at
its
previous
meeting
on
the
topic.
AH
AH
AH
They
don't
see
any
major
trade-offs
or
impacts
from
doing
this
approach,
and
so
there
is
support
to
move
forward
with
the
ioc
with
that
said,
we
do
want
to
emphasize
the
need
to
study
everything
under
the
sun
following
the
ioc
in
preparation
of
phase
two,
so
let's
reevaluate
the
ratio.
Let's
take
a
look
at
all
the
different
amenities
bonuses
and
elements
out
there
to
make
sure
that
we
are
encouraging
residential
development
wherever
we
can.
So
that's
all
I
have
to
say
tonight.
Thank
you
for
convening
on
this
topic
and
I
appreciate
your
attention.
B
B
Okay,
moving
on
Jonathan
Cagle.
AI
Mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor,
new
house
council
members
last
time,
I
was
here
speaking
in
front
of
the
council.
It
was
about
the
new
land
use
code
that
came
out.
Can
you
believe
it
six
years
ago,
coming
out
of
the
downtown
livability
project?
This
was
a
huge
effort.
It
took
a
long
time,
maybe
too
long.
You
know
that
Council
memory
Barks
A
little
bit
as
well
as
anybody,
but
there
was
a
lot
of
work
to
make
sure
that
the
form
this
functionality,
the
you
know
the
scale,
the
amenities.
AI
The
far
the
height
were
all
well
balanced
in
the
different
zones
of
downtown
the
previous
code.
The
wedding
cake
code
lasted
decades
and
their
goal
was
to
keep
it
this
one.
You
know
designed
to
be
flexible
enough
to
last
for
decades
as
well,
but
now
there's
a
proposal
before
the
council
that
makes
significant
changes
all
the
goal,
although
the
goal
to
increase
the
stock
of
affordable
housing
is
an
important
to
Noble
goal.
This
specific
proposal
seems
to
have
some
really
significant
side
effects.
That
may
not
be
obvious,
especially
by
its
title.
AI
It's
not
just
far.
It's
not
just
flexibility.
There
are
significant
changes
to
the
height
the
form
and
the
lot
coverage
that
directly
impacts.
Neighboring
communities,
including
my
own
I,
serve
as
vice
president
of
the
viewcrest
Community
Association,
and
there
is
a
big
impact
being
directly
to
the
west
of
downtown.
We
live
with
that.
We
embrace
it,
but
these
changes
have
a
very
negative
impact,
especially
due
to
shadows
and
privacy.
Already
we
have
proposals
with
Shadow
studies
that
are.
AI
You
know
also,
there
was
a
lot
of
work
that
was
done
on
the
transition
from
high
density
high
rises
in
downtown
to
the
single
story,
viewcrest
that
by
raising
the
wedding
cake,
when
it
once
again
causes
a
Chasm,
so
I
would
like
to
have
Council
and
and
staff-
maybe
take
a
little
bit
more
time
and
resources
to
craft
the
code
to
understand
this
broader
impact.
We
want
Shadow
studies,
Forum
studies,
simulated
views
along
100th
and
just
have
you
visit
viewcrest.
AI
B
AJ
Mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor
new
in
house,
council,
members
and
staff,
my
name
is
Carl
Van
Rook
speaking
on
behalf
of
Vander
corporation
who's,
operated
businesses
for
four
generations
and
on
property
in
Old
Bellevue.
For
85
years
we
have
been
working
for
over
a
year
and
a
half
on
a
potential
residential
development
project
in
all
Bellevue.
Earlier
this
year
we
submitted
for
AER
and
our
lesson
months
away
from
submitting
for
building
permits.
We
are
application
ready.
AJ
There
are
only
two
months
until
the
international
billing
code
changes
on
June
30th
2023.
The
IBC
changes
create
larger
units
across
the
board
due
to
the
Ada
dimensional
clearance
requirements
increasing
by
six
inches
around
appliances
and
fixtures.
This
creates
larger
units
and
therefore
less
units
overall
can
be
achieved
in
downtown
Bellevue.
The
IBC
change
also
means
increased
construction
costs
for
all
projects
by
the
way,
a
thicker,
concrete
requirements,
higher
energy
code
Etc.
AJ
The
project
that
we
have
designed
is
not
achieving
the
base
far
we're
at
4.1,
where
4.5
is
allowed
base,
nor
is
it
achieving
the
base.
Height
allowed
of
99
feet
were
straining
it
to
75
feet.
This
is
all
because
of
the
definition
of
high-rise
in
the
international
building.
Go
to
high-rise
is
anything
above
75
feet
which
creates
additional
fire
code
requirements
and
added
costs
in
an
effort
to
incentivize
housing
and
affordable
housing.
That
is
necessary
to
encourage
residential
development
instead
of
office
and
to
help
achieve
the
city's
growth
required
under
the
growth
management
act.
AJ
The
perimeter
overlay
height
should
be
lifted
to
150
feet
in
order
to
make
concrete
high-rise
construction
viable
and
offset
the
housing
Supply
impacts
of
the
impending
IVC
change
and
economic
headwinds
without
increased
height,
affordable
housing
incentives,
as
well
as
amenity
incentives,
are
unlikely
to
be
achieved.
I
ask:
is
it
Equitable
to
provide
incentives
for
affordable
housing
in
some
neighborhoods
and
not
others?
AJ
Why
excludeo
Bellevue
from
the
only
remaining
instead
of
available
to
promote
affordable
housing
in
closing
option
one
from
exhibit
a
in
your
packet,
is
the
option
we
would
prefer
if
we
were
forced
to
pick
today,
however,
even
better
would
be
to
maintain
the
neighborhood
look
and
feel,
and
the
current
code
required
15-foot
step
back
on
Main
Street
eat
that
as
Envision
and
option.
Two,
however,
increase
the
Heights
in
B1
to
150
feet.
B
Mr
Vander
hook,
Mr
vanderhook
apologies.
Your
time
has
expired
and
that
does
bring
us
to
the
end
of
our
pre-registered
list.
If
there's
anyone
joining
us
this
evening
in
council
chambers
or
online,
who
would
like
to
speak
specifically
about
this
public
hearing,
please
raise
your
hand,
go
ahead
her
and
then
miss
Dean
steam.
If
you
could
state
your
name
for
the
record
when
you
said
thank
you.
AG
You
know
some
additional,
affordable
housing
to
be
included,
and
my
apologies
in
advance,
if
I'm
misunderstanding
something
about
how
this
is
anticipated
to
affect
the
actual
Construction
in
the
area.
I
do
believe
that,
even
though
this
is
temporary,
this
is
a
permanent
thing
that
you
know
will
be
very
visible,
very
part
of
our
community
and
I.
Don't
necessarily
disagree
with
an
80-foot
building,
but
I
think
we
should
make
sure
that
we're
getting
the
amount
of
affordable
housing
that
we're
hoping
to
out
of
an
exchange
like
that.
Thanks.
R
Good
evening
to
speak
during
the
public
hearing,
since
it
was
mostly
about
the
downtown
in
downtown
overlay,
but
as
I
was
listening
to
my
friends
from
viewcrest
here,
talk
I
I
wanted
to
support
what
they
were
saying,
and
then
this
lovely
lady
just
really
put
it
into
perspective,
which
is
I,
feel
like
it
right
now.
There's
not
a
very
good
I
guess
return
on
investment.
If
you
will
say
with
the
the
the
increase
in
Flora
area
ratio
for
affordable
housing.
R
R
We
would
end
up
with
a
much
taller
building
under
something
like
this
and
I.
Do
know
that
the
people
living
in
the
Newport
Hills
Townhomes,
directly
behind
the
shopping
center
are
very
concerned
about
the
exact
same
things
that
Mr
Cagle
and
his
neighbors
brought
up
the
the
shadows
and
the
lack
of
privacy.
R
The
the
the
the
parking's
already
an
issue
in
Newport
Hills
with
between
all
of
our
and
we.
We
have
a
lot
of
affordable
housing
already
in
Newport
Hills,
but
if
you're
not
doing
parking,
then
it's
it's
back
out
into
the
neighborhoods
and
actually
58th
Street
when
you
turn
onto
it
between
the
S
Mart
and
the
the
church's
parking
lot
is
very
dangerous
right
now,
because
people
there's
not
enough
parking
for
the
new
Porter
and
all
those
other
places.
R
So
I
would
just
really
ask
that
that
you
take
that
into
consideration,
because
I
really
I
want
to
I
want
to
support
my
fellow
neighborhoods,
knowing
that
what
happens
to
them
can
happen
to
my
neighborhood.
It
can
happen
to
any
neighborhood
right
now,
so
I
stand
with
you.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
one
more
call
for
our
hands.
Anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
to
the
public
hearing.
B
A
A
Those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
so
I'm
going
to
start
because
I'm
going
to
ask
that
you
entertain
a
different
option
and
I
am
going
to
speak
to
two
areas
that
we
have
been
given
a
map
for
and
if
we
can
put
the
map
on
the
screen.
That
would
help
me
show
what
areas
I'm
talking
about.
A
Yep,
so
it's
the
downtown
old
Bellevue
land
use
district
and
the
perimeter
overlay,
District,
A1
and
I'm
interested
in
taking
those
out
removing
those
from
the
ioc,
because
I
mean
our
public
testimony
said
it
very
well
Mr
Cagle.
When
we
talked
about
how
many
years
we
spent
trying
to
come
up
with
the
right
solution
for
those
sensitive
areas
that
are
right
next
to
single
family
and
then
old
Bellevue,
which
has
a
very
distinct
character,
is
a
very
narrow,
Street.
A
I
I'm,
not
asking
for
anything
other
than
just
to
leave
them
where
they
are
today,
with
the
ability
to
develop
as
they
have
today
and
remove
them
from
the
proposed
ioc,
which
I'm
fine
with
in
the
rest
of
the
area.
So
I
wonder
if
council
member
Stokes
could
make
a
motion
for
me
and
then
we
could
discuss
the
merits
of
that.
E
Yeah
move
to
adopt
ordinance,
6736
amended
to
removing
the
downtown
old
Bellevue
land
use,
district
and
perimeter
overlay
districts
A1
from
the
ioc.
A
I
No
thank
you
and
I
appreciate
getting
all
the
comments
and
the
additional
Outreach
that
the
staff
did
on
this
ioc.
I
absolutely
agree
with
the
A1
and
the
fact
that
we
had
already
spent
Five
Years
on
the
downtown
livability
and
come
up
with
the
modified
plan
that
took
care
of
that
area.
So
I
I
agree
with
that.
One
I
would
like
to
understand
just
a
little
bit
more
because
we
did
hear
from
Mr
Amanda
hook
about
the
old
Main
area
and
just
understanding
a
bit
more.
I
So
maybe
since
mayor
this
is
your
neighborhood
just
being
able
to
a
little
bit
understand
that
part
of
it
just
because
it's
actually
behind
me,
oh
okay,
because
we
did
hear
from
the
community
about
the
fact
that
you
know
in
that
neighborhood.
Perhaps
it's
not
the
same
discussion
of
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
than
the
A1
area.
So
I'd
just
like
to
understand
a
bit
more
about
that.
One.
Z
I
can
speak
a
little
bit,
certainly
if
the
old
Bellevue
district
is
in.
It
would
include
both
portions
of
perimeter,
perimeter,
overlay,
B1
and
also
perimeter
overlay
A2,
so
it
would
be
a
relatively
large
portion
that
would
be
excluded
from
this
ioc.
In
that
circumstance,
all
of
the
you
know,
all
of
the
existing
development
potential
would
remain
the
same,
and
it
just
would
not
be
able
to
participate
in
this
additional
density
in
response
or
in
relationship
to
the
affordable
housing.
I
M
To
understand
as
I'm
following
the
Amendments
is
the
amendment
that
I
just
seconded
option
two
in
the
packet:
okay,
I
thought
it
was
and
I
I
think
this
is
I
or,
and
you
said
no.
AD
That's
right
now
so
option
two
in
the
packet
is
going
to
be
simply
targeted
to
the
step
back
and
it
would
be
in
A1
district
and
only
along
Main
Street
in
Old
Bellevue.
This
motion
that
has
been
made
would
remove
the
A1
District
entirely,
as
well
as
all
of
the
downtown
old
Bellevue
district
from
the
ioc,
which
are
going
to
be
those
two
areas
that
are
highlighted
in
red
okay,
so
none
of
the
provisions
of
the
ioc
would
apply
in
either
of
those
areas.
M
Okay,
so
what
are
there?
Any
I
know
the
Vander
hook.
Corporation
has
one
that's
already
in
design
review
in
the
area.
Are
there
any
pending
projects
in
those
two
areas
that
you
are
aware
of?
No
okay,
so
I
wouldn't
mind.
Thinking
about
this
for
a
few
minutes,
while
listen
to
my
colleagues
but
in
general,
I
think
that
this
having
something
less
in
these
districts
is
fair
and
the
reason
I
think
it's
fair
is
that
the
streets.
This
is
all
west
of
Bellevue
Way
and
the
streets
there.
M
Old,
Main
and
100th
are
really
narrow,
and
so,
when
you
look
at
how
much
space
you
have
between
buildings,
whether
whichever
kinds
of
buildings
high
rise
to
high-rise,
high
rise
to
single
family,
the
width
of
the
street
matters,
because
the
width
of
the
street
creates
more
of
a
setback
from
whatever's
next
to
it
and
100th
is
narrow.
Main
Street
is
narrow
and
so
and
I
I
thought
I.
M
It
I'll
just
stop
there.
So
for
me
we
need
to
be
really
thoughtful
about
what
we're
doing
there.
I
definitely
have
a
lot
of
sympathy
for
people
who
live
in
housing
where
they
have
a
backyard
garden,
and
there
is
shade
on
their
Garden
I
mean
that
is
a
terrible
situation.
Someone
who
loves
to
Garden
having
high
rises,
you
know
shade
people's
personal
backyard.
Spaces
is
a
difficult
thing
and
it's
not
something
I
really
want
to
start
doing.
On
the
other
hand,
we
really
need
housing.
We
really
need
housing.
M
We
really
need
affordable
housing,
so
how
that's
perfectly
balanced,
I'm,
not
100,
sure
and
and
maybe
I
need
a
little
bit
more
of
an
explanation
from
staff
on
the
proposed
ordinance
option.
One
option
two
and
this
option,
but
I'd
like
to
First,
hear
from
my
colleagues
before
I,
decide
how
I'm
going
to
vote.
Thank
you,
councilmember
Stokes,.
E
Yeah
this,
this
is
a
really
difficult
one,
with
all
the
different
actions
that
could
affect
one
or
the
other
and
we're
at
a
time
where
changes
have
happened
drastically
downtown.
You
understand
that
and
we're
having
more
need
for
housing,
not
for
affordable
housing
and
need
for
housing.
E
We
have
a
you
know
we're
at
almost
150
000
people.
This
whole
thing
was
planned
for
40
000
people,
and
that
makes
a
lot
of
difference.
But
again
it's
that.
Where
do
you
hit
The
Sweet
Spot
in
meeting
the
the
different
needs
on
this,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
really
important
and
personally
and
I
think
a
lot
of
us
share.
This
is
there?
There
is
something
special
about
the
downtown
old
Bellevue
and
large
buildings
tall
buildings
in
that
area
would
kind
of
wipe
that
out
in
a
sense.
E
So
it's
a
matter
of
what
is
more
important
to
us,
and
how
do
we
balance
that,
in
terms
of
look
at
the
whole
city
and
I,
do
think
that
there
is
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
more
affordable
housing
in
many
parts
of
the
city?
Now
every
neighborhood
is
going
to
at
some
point,
have
some
pressure
on
it
to
accept
more
housing
and
we've
done
that
a
lot
and
it
wasn't
on
Woodridge
there's
a
lot
of
areas
all
around
the
the
there.
E
People
don't
really
think
about
that,
but
there
are
quite
a
number
in
their
other
options
that
could
be
moved,
we're
going
to
have
to
build
more
housing.
We
can't
just
keep
squirreling
out
because
we
don't
have
the
you
know:
the
boundaries
are
there,
but
it
gets
back
to
the
values
and
what
makes
one
of
the
things
that
makes
Bellevue
Bellevue,
at
least
in
my
opinion
and
I,
think
a
lot
of
people
share.
This
is
oh
Bellevue
and
I.
E
Think
that's
Bill
Bellevue
actually
is
is
poised
to
be
something
even
better
than
it
is
now,
and
there
are
changes
coming
down
on
Maiden
by
our
Bay
and
that's
going
to
be
affected
by
at
some
point
about
high
rises
and
the
shadows
and
all
those
things.
So
it's
a
balance,
then
the
other
one
up
in
in
up
in
the
community
up
the
top
here
and
along
that
area.
Again.
Is
that
it's
that
question
of
how
close
do
we
get
housing
with
higher
buildings
and
we
have
higher
buildings
a
lot
of
places?
E
So
it's
not
as
if
we're
you
know,
this
is
a
rule
but
I
think
again,
that's
the
concern
is
how
much
is
too
much
on
that
and
how
do
we?
How
do
we
balance
it,
and
there
are
some
other
technical
issues
of
how
we
could
actually
increase
higher.
You
know
more
housing
that
we
maybe
haven't
touched
on,
but
I
think
that's
what
we're
all
thinking
about,
and
people
in
the
community
and
not
people
just
who
live
here
but
who
want
who
are
there
and
with
the
downtown
park
and
all
those
things
going
on
there.
E
All
of
a
sudden
having
it
in
a
canyon
is,
is
kind
of
scary,
I
think
that's
the
feeling.
People
have,
and
it
seems
like
we're,
not
quite
there
in
terms
of
how
do
we
get
a
a
rational
balance
of
these
things,
and-
and
we
have
this
tremendous
pressure
to
get
the
housing
because
more
people
want
to
move
here
and
we
need
affordable
housing,
and
so
it's
this
is
a
tough
one.
It
seemed
like
we
were
talking
about
this
earlier.
E
It
was
pretty
simple,
but
I
think
that
we
need
to
really
look
at
this
and
again
I.
Don't
I,
don't
think
anybody
wants
to
take
five
years
to
try
to
figure
this
out,
but
we
need
to
get
on
this
quickly
and
look
at
this
and
see
what
balances
we
can
come
up
with
a
little
more
I.
Don't
think
we're
quite
there
yet.
A
K
Thank
you
mayor
thanks
for
the
presentation
this
evening,
great
comments
by
my
my
colleagues
I'm
in
favor
of
this
amendment
by
the
mayor
via
council
member
Stokes.
K
You
know,
and
his
comments
are
right
in
terms
of
you
know:
old
Bellevue
Maine
is
something
worth
protecting.
It's
it's
it's
a
jewel
of
the
city,
a
reason
a
lot
of
people
come
in
and
that's
a
unique
area
and
we
don't
want
to
see
that
damaged
in
any
way.
K
I
also
really
appreciate
the
the
Comets
tonight
by
residents
of
the
viewcrest
neighborhood
agree
with
councilmember
Robertson
that
you
know
those
privacy
and
Shake
concerns
are
are
real
concerns,
so
anything
we
can
do
to
lessen
that
I
think
whenever
you
do
have
a
neighborhood
so
close
to
downtown.
You
can
expect
some,
but
anything
that
we
can
do
to
reduce
some
of
it
or
the
impact
of
some
of
it
is
worthy
of
our
of
our
best
efforts
to
to
do
that.
K
So,
like
councilman
Robertson
I'd,
like
a
little
bit
more
information
now
on
option,
one
versus
option
two
just
to
make
sure
I
understand
that
correctly.
If
we
can
revisit
that
quickly-
and
there
might
be
other
colleagues
who'd
like
to
make
sure
they
understand
exactly
which
option
we're
selecting
here
and
what's
best
for
this
ioc
but
again
I'm
in
favor
of
the
of
the
amendment.
Thank.
D
D
I
was
very
interested
in
that
and
I
believe
that
you
said
you
could
have
you
could
do
it
and
I'm
glad
I
think
you
have
been
doing
that
so
it's
good,
but
I
haven't
heard
back
from
what
you
have
found
out,
and
these
may
be
the
results
of
what
you
find
out,
but
I
want
to
hear
what
it
is
and
what
it
isn't
so
I'm
not
quite
ready
for
a
decision,
because
I
haven't
heard
from
you
yet,
and
so,
if
you
want
my
opinion,
you
know
I
would
say
that
I
appreciate
the
intent
and
passion
about
having
more
housing,
absolutely
more
affordable
housing
of
all
kinds,
and
but
we
need
to,
however,
consider
special
situation.
D
That's
why
we
want
you
to
do
a
stakeholder.
You
know
Outreach
so
that
we
know
what
other
interests
and
concerns
and
special
need
of
each
community
and
I
believe
that
what
whatever
we
do
yes
number
and
go
and
have
more
housing,
but
two
more
just
as
important.
If
not
more,
is
we
don't
want
to
disrupt,
destroy
the
character,
the
existing
people
who
live
there?
You
know
people
who
live
there
and
there
are
more
of
them
and
they've
been
living
long.
D
I
think
that
makes
sense,
because
we've
heard
the
testimony
of
the
people
who
live
in
the
Wilcrest
area
and
they
are
there
they're
the
neighborhood
they've
been
there
for
the
last.
You
know
60
70
years,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
that
and
that
they
want
to
maintain
that
and
the
reason
that
they
boil
up
that
they
have
concerns,
makes
sense
right
because
disrupts
whatever
they
they
they
are
used
to.
But
they
are
accustomed
to,
it
makes
sense
and
I
think
that
applies
to
all
Ming
as
well.
D
So
I
agree
because
oh
Ming
is
very
unique,
very
different
character.
We
have
the
you
know
we
go
to
the
restaurant
I
go
there
every
day
during
the
week.
All
means
you
know
it's
just
going
crazy.
You
know,
which
is
a
good
thing,
because
the
big
bug
economy
bring
your
back.
People
bring
back
energy,
that's
what
value
is
about
so
I
I,
without
hurting
hearing
from
you,
without
making
pre-judgment
I
I
would
support
what
you
show.
D
You
show
you
know
of
the
two
areas
in
red
being,
provided
you
know
well
to
be
removed
in
the
setback
instrument
and
out
an
overlay
and
all
that
stuff,
but
I
do
want
to
still
hear
from
you
whether
it
matches
what
we
are
thinking
about,
and
so
that
I
can
be
sure
that
you
know
I'm
listening
to
people
I
hear
what
they
have
to
say.
Thank
you.
C
AB
Council
so
I
guess
a
couple
of
questions.
What
would
be
the
impact
of
removing
the
setback
in
terms
of
the
number
of
affordable
units
or
units
in
general
and
then?
Secondly,
are
these
overlays
specifically
unique,
meaning
I,
guess
I'm
I'm
thinking
about?
What's
maybe
preventing
any
other
stakeholders
from
coming
forward
and
requesting
additional.
AD
Sure,
in
regards
to
the
number
of
units,
I
really
can't
give
you
a
number.
It
would
be
pure
speculation
on
my
part.
We
do
know
that
with
the
construction
techniques
and
with
the
additional
floor
area,
there
will
be
some
units
lost
if
you
do
not
allow
them
to
drop
that
step
back,
but
we
don't
know
that
number
of
units,
obviously
we're
seeing
construction
today
with
the
step
back
so
I
can't
give
you
a
specific
number
in
regards
to
the
uniqueness
of
each
district.
AD
Any
member
of
the
public
I
think
could
come
in
and
request
that
any
District
be
removed
from
this
that's
sort
of
their
prerogative.
To
do
so,
you
know,
I,
think
what
we're
hearing
from
Council
and
from
some
of
the
neighbors
is
that
these
two
areas
have
unique
conditions
and
that's
why
they've
been
singled
out
but
nothing
stopping
you
know,
someone
from
say,
East
Main
from
coming
in
and
requesting
that
side
of
downtown
be
removed
from
the
ioc
as
well.
Z
Council
member
Foxton
may
add
one
thing
as
well.
So
if
you
look
at
Parliament
perimeter
overlay,
a
2
and
B
A2
in
the
north
side,
there's
actually
the
long
linear
McCormick
park
across
the
street
from
that
perimeter.
Overlay,
which
does
change,
I,
think
the
situation
a
little
bit
and
then,
if
we're
looking
at
the
perimeter,
overlay
A2
between
downtown
or
Bellevue
and
the
A1
zoning
District.
That
area
really
is
where
Bellevue
Square
mall
is
and
so
on.
It
probably
has
a
wider
street.
Z
A
So
are
we
okay
with
the
ioc?
Does
anybody
have
any
problems
just
with
the
ioc,
as
as
the
staff
has
proposed
I?
Don't
think
so?
I
haven't
heard
that
so
the
what's
been
the
motion
that's
been
made
is
to
just
approve
the
ioc,
but
remove
those
two
areas
from
it.
So
that's
what's
on
the
table,
so
let's
go
ahead
and
vote
on
that
and
if
we
vote
no,
then
we'll
go
back
and
we'll
do
another
motion
on
the
ioc,
as
staff
has
proposed.
A
C
D
A
Yeah
council.
A
D
See
at
the
last
meeting,
I
raised
the
question
about
getting
more
feedback
and
the
staff
agreed
and
we've
heard
back
since
then.
I'm
very
happy
view
Quest
position,
I
heard
something
from
Old,
Main
and
I'm
just
curious.
If
there's
any
other
information
that
can
you
know
maybe
improve
on
the
recommendation,
we
just
gave
you
that's
all
if
you
say
no
I'm
happy.
If
it
disease
I'd
like
to
hear
what
are
those
and
then
then
I
can
decide,
maybe
I
would
propose
to
included
okay
and
then
let's
have
a
shot
at
you.
AD
I,
don't
think
we've
received
any
information
that
we
haven't
passed
along
to
you
so
with
our
Outreach
from
what
you
part
tonight,
when
we
did
Outreach
I
sent
these
groups
an
email
with
the
information
and
also
provided
them.
Information
on
how
to
contact
me
with
the
input
or
contact
you
with
input.
I
think
several
of
those
groups
have
chosen
to
come
directly
to
you.
So
what
you've
heard
tonight
is
that
input
that
we're
receiving
any
other
input
we've
received
throughout
this
process.
AD
You've
either
been
given
an
update
on
through
these
presentations
and
our
materials
or
you've
gotten
directly
or
been
passed
through.
So
some
of
your
desk
materials
today
was
some
additional
input
as
well,
but
you
haven't.
We
haven't
heard
anything
that
you
haven't
heard.
We
may
have
heard
some
more
details,
but
we've
passed
that
all
along
to
you
and
we've
provided
all
these
groups
that
we've
done
Outreach
to
with
the
information
every
step
of
the
way
of
how
to
provide
comments
to
you
when
the
meetings
are
directly.
AD
D
Thank
you
I
appreciate
that,
because
I've
complimented
you
from
doing
it
as
a
result
of
hearing
a
lot-
and
we
heard
today
some
of
you
today
at
the
real
person-
and
we
heard
from
a
couple
of
residents
living
in
Newport
Hills,
because
this
is
important
not
just
to
downtown
but
to
other
part
of
the
city
as
well.
This
is
all
good
information
to
have
so
that
we
can
make
your
choices
and
decisions
right
now,
because
when
the
fact
the
other,
so
thank.
A
A
We'll
go
ahead
and
start
so
we
have
two
study
session
items
and
I
am
going
to
recuse
myself
from
the
first
one,
because
my
husband
works
for
the
King
County
Housing
Authority,
which
is
involved
in
one
and
I'm
a
member
of
Holy
Cross
church,
which
is
involved
in
another
one,
so
I'm
going
to
hand
the
meeting
over
to
the
deputy
mayor
and
then
I
will
come
back
when
we're
done
with
this.
Okay,
thank
you
and
I'll.
Let
Diane!
Why
don't
you
go
ahead
and
introduce
thank.
O

The
arch
executive
board
is
recommending
funding
for
seven
projects
as
part
of
the
2022
Housing
Trust
Fund
round
and
staff
are
here
tonight
to
provide
highlights
of
the
recommended
projects
for
funding
following
the
presentation
staff
will
request
Council
direction
to
return
with
legislation
approving
the
funding
recommendations,
so
joining
us
today
are
Lindsay
Masters,
Arch,
executive
director,
Elsa
Kings,
the
arch
Housing
Trust
fund
manager
and
Linda
Abe,
the
affordable
housing
planning
manager
from
the
Community
Development
Department,
and
with
that
I
will
hand
it
over
to
Lindsay
to
kick
off
the
presentation.
Thank
you.
AK
Thank
you
for
the
introduction,
Deputy
manager
Carlson
good
evening
mayor's,
not
here
now,
but
Deputy
Mayor
new
in-house
and
members
of
the
council
I'd
like
to
offer
a
few
opening
comments
on
behalf
of
the
Community
Development
department.
The
city
of
Bellevue
and
Arch
have
partnered
to
create
and
preserve
affordable
housing
in
Bellevue
in
the
east
side
for
almost
30
years
original,
inter
local
agreement
in
1992
included,
Bellevue
King,
County,
Kirkland
and
Redmond,
and
has
since
expanded
to
include
other
East
Side
cities.
AK
Oh
sorry,
let
me
look
back
today.
The
city
of
bellevue's,
continuing
support
for
the
arch
trust
fund
is
consistent
with
the
affordable
housing
strategy
which
was
adopted
in
2017..
The
Housing
Trust
Fund
is
an
important,
affordable,
housing
tool
that
we
really
feel
is
important
to
produce
more
affordable
housing.
So,
as
we
go
look
through
the
recognition
recommendations
tonight,
we
really
want
you
to
understand
that
how
important
this
tool
is
in
order
for
us
to
achieve
the
goals.
So
we
are
asking
staff.
AK
Go
into
the
election,
so
tonight's
presentation
is,
is
broken
into
two
parts:
we'll
do
five
projects
in
the
first
part
and
then
an
additional
two
two
projects
in
the
second
part
Lindsay
will
provide
an
overview
and
and
then
Elsa
will
also
do
the
recommendations,
so
I'll
pass
it
on
to
them.
AL
Sure
and
I
think
we
had
devised
this,
so
the
mayor
could
be
here
for
the
first
part,
but
we're
happy
to
just
proceed.
I
wanted
to
just
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
on
the
process.
This
year
we
had
a
really
exciting
funding
round.
This
was
our
biggest
funding
round
that
we've
had
just
in
terms
of
the
number
of
applications,
the
amount
of
housing,
we're
talking
about
the
diversity
of
the
projects
and
the
total
funds
that
were
requested.
We
initially
had
eight
applications
come
into
US
requesting
over
13
million
dollars.
AL
We
had
a
larger
than
normal
funding
round
this
year,
because
we
had
some
available
funds
left
over
from
the
previous
year's
round,
as
well
as
some
some
loan
repayments
that
were
able
to
come
in.
So
we
had
more
resources
to
allocate
than
typical,
and
you
can
see
kind
of
on
the
chart
here,
sort
of
the
breakdown
of
all
the
city's
different
contributions
and
really
it
takes
all
of
those
pieces
to
make
the
hole.
AL
So
we're
very
grateful
that
Bellevue
contributes
to
this
program
also
important
each
year
and
in
particular
this
year
we
work
very
hard
as
a
team
to
make
sure
your
local
Investments
are
leveraged
with
a
lot
of
other
funding
sources
for
our
for
our
you
know,
long-term
sort
of
trajectory.
We
typically
see
ten
dollars
for
every
dollar
of
funding
that
we
put
in
this
year.
AL
We
had
a
pretty
astonishing
leverage
rate
of
about
forty
dollars
for
every
dollar
of
trust
fund
investment
when
we
put
together
into
that
pool
both
the
Bellevue
housing
stability
program
funds
and
some
additional
arpa
funds.
That
Kenmore
is
investing.
That
rate
is
still
a
20
to
1
return
on
our
investment,
so
we're
really
excited
about
that
this
year.
AL
We're
also
incredibly
excited
to
see
the
depth
of
affordability
that
these
projects
are
achieving.
We
have
a
very
significant
number
of
units,
even
at
the
30
percent
of
Ami
level,
but
really
we're
seeing
a
a
significant
mix
across
30
and
all
the
way
up
to
80
percent
Ami
and
Elsa.
We'll
we'll
talk
in
a
minute
about
some
of
the
populations
that
served.
We
had
a
very
diverse
slate
of
projects,
including
in
particular
one
home
ownership
project
that
we
will
highlight
in
Bellevue.
AL
So
with
that,
Elsa
is
going
to
just
talk
at
a
very
high
level,
we're
not
going
to
go
one
by
one
through
all
the
projects,
but
there
are
some
reference
slides
in
the
back
that
you
can
peruse
at
your
leisure
and
we're
happy
to
also
answer
questions.
So
we'll
have
five
projects
we'll
talk
about
here
and
then
we'll
come
back
and
talk
about
the
the
last
two
that
are
have
a
separate
Direction.
AM
Awesome.
Thank
you
good
evening.
Here's
a
overview
of
some
of
the
projects
that
we
are
recommending
tonight.
I
will
just
highlight
a
few
key
points.
The
Ardea
senior
housing
development
is
an
important
important
partnership
between
imagine
housing,
a
service
provider
and
twg
as
developer.
Twg
is
a
national
vertically
integrated
for-profit
developer.
AM
The
Plymouth
psh
is
a
project
that
was
spearheaded
by
the
city
of
Kenmore,
in
which
they
not
only
donated
the
the
land,
but
they
also
prioritize
one
half
of
their
arpa
funding
to
entice
developers
to
build
in
their
Community,
affordable
housing
in
their
community.
In
regard
to
the
inclusion
housing
project.
Not
only
are
we
excited
to
invest
in
this
organization
for
the
first
time,
but
we
are
also
equally
as
pleased
that
the
state
is
investing
significant
resources
for
individuals
with
intellectual
and
developmental
disabilities.
AM
Alongside
us,
the
Spring
District
was
made
possible
by
a
partnership
with
sound
transit
in
which
the
city
donated
a
portion
of
its
land
to
this
Innovative
mixed-used
mixed
income
development.
The
archboard
felt
a
need
to
invest
in
this
project,
especially
during
the
early
stages
of
development
attain
as
an
organization
that
we
have
supported
in
the
past.
They
operate,
affordable
housing
units
both
in
Kirkland
and
Bellevue
art,
felt
it
important
to
provide
additional
resources
to
encourage
them
to
continue
working
on
this
development
for
transitional
homeless
families.
AL
And
I
think
if
it's
okay,
we
can
take
Direction
here
on
these
first
five
projects
and
then
we'll
come
back
to
the
next
two.
So
we
are
seeking
your
direction
to
return
with
legislation
approving
the
recommendations,
as
outlined
in
your
packet,
for
the
five
projects
that
we
just
discussed.
AL
AL
AM
AM
AL
K
M
Thank
you,
I'm,
looking
at
the
attachment
that
breaks
down
the
various
projects
and
I'm
wondering
I'm
looking
at
the
cost
per
unit
which
ranges
from
you
know:
395
000
per
unit
to
a
high
of
8,
almost
800
000
per
unit,
it's
huge
huge
gap,
and
particularly
the
King
County
Housing
Authority
Kirkland
Heights
project.
That's
almost
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
unit,
even
though
it's
a
rehab
which
is
usually
less
expensive
and
the
soft
costs
are
115
000
per
unit.
M
AM
Sure
I'll
take
a
a
stab
at
answering
your
question.
Sure
thanks
member
different
different
projects
in
particular,
have
different
a
different
constructability
and
requirements,
and
this
is
one
of
those
projects.
They
also
in
an
effort
to
provide
the
the
construction
for
the
residents
that
they
are
serving.
It
could
be
that
different
projects
have
the
different
finishes
for
the
project.
AL
We
did
spend
quite
a
bit
of
time
talking
with
our
Advisory
Board
and
with
qcg
about
the
the
costs
for
this
project.
We
did
note
our
investment
is
a
relatively
small
share
of
the
total
project
cost,
but
there
are
some
significant
cost
drivers
that
we
tried
to
press
on
and
really
ask
them.
Have
you
have
you
sort
of
mitigated
as
many
of
the
cost
increases
as
possible?
AL
One
of
the
one
of
the
most
significant
ones
is
as
a
as
a
federal
public
housing
authority.
They
do
have
quite
a
few
more
regulations
that
they
are
required
to
build
to
one
of
those
as
prevailing
wages
at
a
federal
rate.
They
also
have
a
unique
finance,
a
unique
financing
structure
that,
in
some
ways,
inflates
artificially
inflates
some
of
the
costs
in
order
to
gain
additional
tax
credit
equity
for
the
project,
so
there's
funds
that
are
loaned
by
kcha
into
the
project
that
come
from
the
organization
that
aren't
true
costs.
AL
So
it's
a
little
bit
in
the
weeds,
but
some
of
those
costs
are
intentionally
inflated
in
order
for
them
to
increase
their
eligible
basis,
which
is
the
basis
in
which
they
generate
tax
credit
Equity
out
of
that
out
of
that
program.
We
also
know
that
this
project
has
not
been
rehabbed
pretty
much
since
it
was
constructed.
AL
It's
I
think
1960s,
vintage
I
want
to
say
it's
pretty
old,
building,
long
overdue
for
rehab
and
they're
having
to
build
everything
back
up
to
current
code,
they're,
also
constructing
an
additional
building
that
is
going
to
provide
community
space
for
the
for
the
whole
community
and
update
a
lot
of
the
other
amenities
throughout
the
the
project.
They
are
also
updating
infrastructure
requirements,
so
the
the
project
was
not
built
to
support
this
many
units
of
housing
and
they're,
adding
significant
amount
of
density
to
the
site
so
they're
having
to
update
all
the
infrastructure.
AL
M
AG
AL
M
M
It
was
just
a
head
scratcher,
because
I've
been
looking
at
your
guys's
reports
for
years
and
I'm
like
what
is
this
so
and
yeah,
and
it's
great
and
I
understand
if
they
have
to
mitigate
and
the
date
with
bacon
laws
and
stuff.
That
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
me.
That's
my
only
question
I'm
generally
supportive
of
moving
it
forward.
Thank
you.
D
D
So
the
the
two
things
that
kind
of
surprised
me
one
is
that
how
much
the
funding
has
increased,
I'm
kind
of
really
staggered
to
find
out.
There's
a
request
of
30
million
dollars
and
values
contribution,
7.6
million
dollars,
which
is
available.
Then
other
partners
are
coming
with
money
and
I'm
sure,
King,
County
and
others.
You
know
providing
funding
as
well,
which
are
applaud.
D
Obviously,
but
I
believe
that
you
know
I
guess
we
can
spend
money
if
it's
necessary
and
if
we
get
in
the
units
of
Housing
and
I,
think
the
type
of
house
you're
getting
is
good
right
online.
You
know
because
I
see
your
Ami
breakdown,
you
know
we're
struggling,
we
cannot
get.
You
know
the
real
needed.
You
know
the
middle
housing,
where
even
the
the
lower
you
know
below
30,
but
I
think
you
have
a
real
good.
Nice
mix
so
I
think
you're
doing
a
good
job
doing
that.
D
Looking
for
the
right
properties
meeting
the
right
needs,
but
the
challenge
is
that
if
we're
spending
lots
of
money,
are
we
getting
proportionally
as
many
units
as
we
have
been
doing
with
a
lot
less
money
involved
that
goes
back
to
I,
think
councilmember,
Robertson's
question
this
unit
cost
is
just
amazing,
I
mean
the
average
house
in
the
King
County
I
think
is
probably
knocking
candy
Maybe
well
in
Bellevue
it's
over
a
million
and
a
half
or
something,
but
in
other
cities
it's
close
to
a
million
800
600.
in
some
cities
you
know
around
here.
D
Maybe
you
can
get
something
for
five
six
hundred,
but
if
we're
spending
eight
hundred
thousand
six
hundred
thousand
five
hundred
thousand
typically
for
a
unit,
that's
really
mind-boggling!
So
it's
hard
to
get
used
to
so
I'm.
Just
asking
you
know
that
you
must
be
struggling.
You
know!
Obviously
you
are
so
that
I
think
that
needs
some
conversation
there
right
and
we
get
to
figure
out
why?
But
just
because
it's
a
good
thing
to
do.
We
have
to
do
it
what's
causing
with
that
where's.
D
The
inflation
that
there
are
many
factors,
I'm
sure
I-
can
speculate,
but
I
don't
want
to
speculate.
I
wonder:
have
you
been
the
expert
I
think
these
questions
are
being
raised?
I
think
it's
appropriate,
so
I
would
appreciate.
Maybe
you
can
think
about
that
unless
you
have
a
couple
of
quick
answers
for
me,
I'll
be
happy
to
listen,
everybody
would
be
happy
to
otherwise.
I
would
be
happy
to
have
some
opportunity
to
really
work
with
Arch
and
what
other
housing
providers
because
I
look
at
construction.
AM
Would
like
to
just
mention
that
there
has
been,
of
course,
a
change
in
the
market
in
the
construction
Market,
of
course,
to
the
pandemic
and
increase
in
labor
in
the
labor
market.
In
addition,
we
have
seen
a
quite
a
significant
increase
in
the
interest
rates
which,
of
course,
plays
is
a
factor
into
the
increase
of
some
of
our
per
unit
costs,
so
certainly
changes
in
the
market.
Changes
in
the
financial
Market
all
play
a
factor
in
the
increase
of
the
cost
of
units
and
production
of
units.
D
That's
good
to
know,
but
I
think
we
need
to
know
we
need
to
figure
out
what
else
can
we
do
maybe
a
little
more
creatively
innovatively?
Maybe
we
can,
instead
of
like
councilman
Robinson
making
instead
of
buying
existing
building,
maybe
because
the
location
is
easier,
but
you
talk
about
infrastructure
has
to
be
put
in
there,
so
maybe
we
can
defer
some
of
those
projects
with
which
requires
infrastructure
expenditure
to
do
something
maybe
a
little
bit
differently
it
might.
It
might
be
harder,
it
might
takes
more
time.
D
D
E
You
may
think
these
are
good
questions,
but
I
believe
that
actually,
you
answered
pretty
well
the
reasons
for
these
and
I
I
think
you've
had
a
long
history
of
doing
this
and
I
I
have
full
confidence
in
your
ability
that
one
that
you
will
look
at
these
things
that
you
have
on
this
and
you've
explained
this.
We
can
go
into
more
detail,
but
I
mean
the
housing
cost
is,
is
ridiculous
and
you
have
to
pay
the
same
thing.
E
I
mean
it's
not
it's
not
easy
on
that
and,
as
you
said,
when
you
take
a
rehab
you're,
there's
savings
on
that
it
costs
a
lot
more
to
build
the
same
building
from
scratch,
but
it
does
cost
and
so
I
think
you've
explained
it
very
well.
We
can,
you
know,
ask
other
questions,
but-
and
it's
always
good
to-
let
us
know
exactly
why
and
what
you're
doing
in
this,
but
again
I
it's
a
long
history
of
of,
for
me
at
least
interesting.
E
What
March
has
been
doing
and
and
on
how
they
pencil
it
out
and
all
that
and
it's
what
is
exciting
actually.
Is
that
the
number
the
fact
that
we're
spending?
What
two
three
times
more
money
than
we
were
not
so
long
ago,
that
shows
they
were
actually
meeting
the
needs
and
we're
doing
what
we've
been
talking
about.
Doing
is
getting
more
housing
and
it's
going
to
cost
and
we
couldn't
buy
houses
in
Bellevue
that
amount
of
money
would
buy
a
lot
less
housing.
E
I
Yes,
thank
you.
You
know
I
always
I'm,
always
grateful
for
your
thoughtfulness
and
looking
at
all
of
the
proposals
and
spending
our
money
wisely.
I
I
will
say
that
if
you
could
go
back
and
just
check
the
math
on
the
one
that
councilmember
Robertson
brought
up
because
having
soft
cost
in
the
25
sounds
quite
unusual,
so
I
don't
know
if
there
might
be
just
some
allocation
error,
because
the
descriptions
that
you
brought
up
would
be
considered
construction
costs
and
not
soft
costs.
I
So
I
would
expect
to
see
that
more
in
the
you
know,
10
to
12
percent
range,
so
I
think
it
would
be
worth
going
back
and
just
taking
a
quick
look
at
that.
I
would
say
that
I
am
happy
to
support
this,
because
what
I
see
is
you
know
when
we
were
looking
at
our
housing,
we
were
not
seeing
in
the
pipeline
housing
in
that
zero
to
thirty
percent
and
the
fact
that
25
of
this
funding
is
going
to
the
zero
to
thirty
percent.
For
folks
exiting
homelessness
is
amazing.
I
I
see
that
there's
one
I
believe
up
in
Kenmore
for
170
units
for
senior
housing
and
and
I
think
that
that's
something
we
need
as
well
in
Bellevue.
So
as
we
really
look
at
the
options
in
front
of
us,
how
we
move,
how
we
find
developers
that
want
to
build
more
senior
housing,
because
I
just
think
about
those
that
may
be
living
alone
or
or
one
couple
living
in
a
four
bedroom
home
that
if
they
were
able
to
move
into
affordable,
smaller
units,
then
those
houses
are
available
for
families.
I
That
would
be
amazing,
that's
really
important
and
then
I
just
want
to
highlight
just
the
fact
that,
with
the
Spring
District
Tod,
we
are
looks
like
finally
moving
forward
with
that
to
get
more
housing
and
then,
lastly,
the
Habitat
for
Humanity
I
was
actually
at
their
women,
build
on
Saturday
at
South
Park
and
just
you
know,
when
you
hear
about
the
families
that
are
helped
in
The
Sweat
Equity
of
the
250
hours,
and
then
those
are
home
ownership
units
and
three
bedroom.
That's
a
family!
I
K
And
go
council
members
on.
Thank
you
for
the
great
presentation
this
evening,
as
you
can
hear,
I
think
we're
all
in
favor
of
moving
this
forward
tonight.
I
too,
would
like
to
see
just
a
little
bit
more
in
depth.
Explanation
of
the
25
soft
costs
on
that.
K
Not
that
we
don't
trust
you,
but
we
just
like
a
little
more
information
on
that,
just
to
make
sure
that
every
dollar
is
accounted
for
and
going
for
the
you
know
the
right
projects
and
the
right
costs
so
and
and
I
will
add
to
the
the
cheer
squad
of
more
senior
affordable
housing
in
Bellevue.
It's
much
needed
and
customer
makes
a
good
point
for
every
unit
that
we
have.
There
might
free
up
a
single
family
home
for
for
a
family
if
they
can
downsize
to
a
condo
to
an
affordable
unit.
K
So
it's
it's
much
needed
in
in
in
in
Bellevue,
so
as
something
just
to
kind
of
keep
in
mind
going
for
not
that
you
don't
know
that
already,
but
certainly
we're
all
big
fans
for
that.
So
with
that
do
I
have
a
motion
on
the
arch,
Housing,
Trust
Fund.
E
Yes,
I
direct
staff
to
return
with
legislation
approving
Arts,
Housing
Trust
Fund
projects.
Second,.
K
O
You
thank
you,
deputy
mayor
next
study
session
tonight
is
another
funding
recommendation
this
one
for
the
city's
housing
stability
program
for
affordable
and
Supportive
Housing
in
July
2022,
the
city
released
its
annual
Capital
funding,
request
for
proposal
for
the
affordable
and
Supportive
Housing,
and
a
team
of
City
staff
and
Arch
staff
evaluated
the
proposals
against
the
council's
approved
housing,
disability
program,
priorities
and
evaluation
criteria
and
they're
providing
funding
recommendations
for
you
tonight.
O
They
will
highlight
the
recommended
projects
for
funding
and
seek
Council
direction
to
return
at
a
future
meeting
with
legislation
to
approve
the
funding
recommendations.
So
we've
added
Emil
King
the
planning
director
to
the
panel
Linda
Abe
Lindsay
masters
from
Arch
and
Elsa
Kings
and
from
Arch,
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
the
panel.
AN
Thank
you
for
the
introduction,
Deputy
city
manager,
Carlson
and
good
evening,
mayor
Deputy,
Mayor
members
of
council.
The
staff
team
is
really
excited
to
be
here
tonight
to
talk
about
the
2022
Capital
funding
round
for
the
housing
stability
program.
We're
getting
money
out
to
projects
that
are
going
to
meet
our
city
needs.
AN
So
staff
are
seeking
Direction
tonight
on
this
set
of
funding
recommendations
for
this
Capital
funding
round.
There
was
the
new
ability
to
request
operation
and
maintenance
funds,
as
well
as
service
funding,
so
this
is
in
addition
to
the
capital
funding
that
we
did
in
our
first
iteration
of
this
request
for
proposal
So
based
on
your
direction,
we
will
prepare
legislation
to
come
back
to
council
and
right
now
we're
targeting
the
consent
agenda
in
early
June.
For
that
to
occur,
can
you
go
into.
AN
AD
AN
So
I
want
to
just
spend
a
moment
on
the
housing
stability
program
framework,
so
we
are
in
the
third
year
of
this
program.
It
began
back
in
2021..
This
is
the
0.1
percent
sales
tax,
I
I
increase.
It
is
being
collected
right
now
for
all
of
King
County,
and
this
program
actually
takes
the
portion
collected
in
Bellevue
to
be
used
by
Bellevue
to
meet
Bellevue
needs.
So
that's
the
intent
of
this
housing
stability
program
in
July
of
2022
council
did
approve
the
overall
framework
that
you
see
on
the
screen.
AN
I
want
to
just
briefly
go
through
the
different
components
of
this.
At
the
very
top
you
can
see.
The
up
to
40
percent
of
the
the
annual
funds
were
targeted
for
housing
Partnerships,
so
this
would
be
things
like
preservation
projects
as
well
as
land
acquisition,
and
we
have
a
note
here
that,
as
we
staff
up
we're
going
to
be
looking
into
bonding
opportunities
to
use
for
that
top
40
percent,
the
middle
box
there
is
in
blue
is
what
we're
here
to
talk
about
tonight.
AN
So
this
is
the
capital
funding,
though
it
does
include
the
operations,
maintenance
and
services
we're
going
to
be
calling
that
OMS
from
here
on
out.
So
that's
our
new
acronym
about
that
operations,
Maintenance
and
Service
dollars.
You
will
notice
tonight
that
we
are
going
to
be
talking
about
some
awards
for
that
OMS
money.
We
do
have
the
ability
for
proposers
to
ask
for
a
a
five-year
commitment
for
that
money.
We're
going
to
be
talking
about
the
year.
AN
One
commitment
tonight
and
we
did
based
on
working
with
the
council,
allow
up
to
12
500
per
unit
to
be
requested
in
that
funding
and
the
actual
funding
amounts
are
lower
than
that,
but
that
was
the
the
max
that
could
be
asked
for
in
the
OMS.
The
the
OMS
money
was
really
important
to
council
when
they
set
out
the
framework
to
make
sure
that
we
have
buildings
that
are
operating
well
and
have
the
right
services
on
site
to
serve
the
residents
there.
AN
Just
very
briefly,
the
last
two
components
down
towards
the
bottom
of
the
framework
are
the
15
percent
for
Behavioral
Health
and
housing
related
Services.
We
do
that
under
a
separate
RFP
that
that
comes
to
council
every
two
years
and
then
the
the
final
part
is
the
up
to
five
percent
being
used
for
administration
of
this
so
staff,
both
in
community
development
in
at
Arch
and
in
our
parks
and
Community
Services
Department
to
work
on
human
Human
Service
needs.
AN
So,
while
the
focus
tonight
is
on
that
blue
area,
if
Council
does
want
to
talk
about
the
overall
program
and
how
we're
allocating
money,
the
fall
would
be
the
right
time
to
do
that.
So
we
would
need
Council
direction
to
do
that,
but
we
thought
it
was
important
to
relate
what
the
the
framework
is.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
the
saf
team
who
looked
at
the
applications.
AL
Great
thanks
and
I
just
want
to
again
express
our
gratitude
for
the
additional
staff
capacity
that
was
created
both
at
Arch
and
also
within
the
city.
I
will
I
want
to
introduce
you
to
Patrick
Tippy,
who
is
the
newest
member
of
our
team
is
going
to
be
dedicated
to
helping
with
the
housing
stability
program
here
in
Bellevue
I'm
so
really
excited
to
have
him
join
us
and
get
to
know
you.
So,
let's
see
if
I
can
get
the
slides
to
work,
did
it
Skip
One,
and
it
did
so
just
again.
AL
The
overall
process,
as
we
set
it
up
in
the
framework
that
we
presented
to
you
last
year,
was
this
bucket
of
funds
was
really
going
to
be
designed
to
complement
the
trust
fund
process,
really
leverage
the
existing
processes
and
funding
coordination
that
we
do
on
your
behalf
each
year.
So
it's
a
little
bit
different.
We
have
a
partnership,
that's
much
more
closely
working
with
city
of
Bellevue
staff.
AL
We
have
an
interdepartmental
staff
team
that
helps
to
meet
and
deliberate
on
the
proposals
and
come
up
with
the
recommendations
that
you
ultimately
see
here
and
get
to
approve.
The
council
had
set
from
early
on
a
few
key
priorities
for
this
funding.
One
was
that
we
there
was
going
to
be
a
focus
on
preventing
homelessness
and
housing
and
stability.
AL
Two
we
were
going
to
really
try
and
achieve
some
deeper
affordability
in
the
projects
that
we're
funding
down
to
the
30
Ami
level
and
really
have
a
focus
on
vulnerable
underserved
populations.
A
lot
of
that
was
driven
by
the
state
policy
intent
for
this
funding
and
a
lot
of
the
eligibility
requirements
that
come
with
the
dollars.
AL
So,
as
Emil
mentioned,
we
are
in
the
second
year
of
running
a
process.
The
first
year
we
put
out
an
RFP
just
for
Capital
funds
of
up
to
six
million
dollars.
We
had
a
few
applications
at
the
time,
only
one
that
was
really
ready
to
proceed.
Oh
and
it's
it's
doing
it
by
itself
now,
but.
AC
AL
For
you,
there
we
go,
but
we
were
really
excited
to
have
an
award
to
the
life
wire
hope,
Starts
Here
project.
That
was
our
first
capital
award
that
amounted
to
1.6
million.
We're
really
excited
that
the
staff
have
closed
the
financing
for
that
project
and
construction
is
well
underway.
So
we'll
be
excited
to
see
that
open
this
year
for
the
2022
funding
round,
we
had
been
able
to
accrue
some
funds
and
so
may
have
a
larger
pot
of
funds
available.
AL
We
advertised
up
to
ten
and
a
half
million
this
year
and
we're
excited
that
we
got
more
applications,
a
larger
amount
of
requests,
a
total
of
over
30
million
total
we're
recommending
tonight,
6.8
million
in
funding
and
that's
divided
between
one
award
for
Capital
funding
and
two
awards
for
ongoing
OMS
funds.
That
are
two
projects.
We
will
be
walking
through
each
of
those
one
by
one.
So
you
have
a
chance
to
to
look
at
each
of
them.
AL
Think
that
advanced
correctly,
no,
it
didn't
we
okay,
there
we
go
so
in.
In
summary,
we
had
four
projects:
five
distinct
requests,
because
one
of
the
projects
was
requesting
both
capital
and
services
funds.
You
can
see
the
breakdown
in
the
recommendations
and
just
a
note
on
the
OMS
Awards.
They
are
intended
to
be
five-year
Awards
but
also
subject
to
Renewal,
because
we
know
that
these
are
meant
to
be
long-term
Assets
in
the
community,
and
we
want
to
see
the
those
the
stability
of
those
Services
long
term.
AM
AM
We
fully
expect
that
this
project
will
be
will
be
a
a
model
for
future
psh
projects
elsewhere.
AM
AM
The
life
of
Our
Hope
Starts
Here
project
was,
as
Lindsay
mentioned
previously
the
first
project
that
we
funded
through
the
housing
stability
program,
but
just
just
a
quick
reminder:
it's
a
25
unit
project
that
serves
that
serves
a
vulnerable
population,
specifically
domestic
violence
survivors.
It
is
currently
in
the
final
stages
of
construction,
and
we
are
expecting
that
this
project
will
be
in
service
by
the
end
of
by
Summer.
AM
Thank
you
and
again
the
Spring
District
project.
We
talked
about
this
project
earlier.
We
are
very
excited
to
utilize
the
housing
stability
program
for
the
capital
for
Capital
funding
towards
this
project.
We,
the
cap,
the
housing
stability,
Capital
program,
Capital
funding,
excuse
me,
will
specifically
support
40,
intellectual
and
developmental
disability
units
within
the
larger
project.
40.
These
40
units
will
be
integrated
into
the
235
unit.
Transit
oriented
development.
AL
A
A
Everybody
had
a
a
say
in
this
criteria
and
it's
really
gratifying
to
see
how
it's
being
used
so
we'll
start
with
the
deputy
Mayors
liaison
to
the
Human
Services
Commission.
Thank.
K
You
so
much
and
three
fantastic
projects,
I
think
for
the
presentation
the
this
evening,
just
a
couple
of
quick
questions,
but
I
am
in
favor
of
moving
this
forward.
So,
first
on
the
renewal
of
the
contracts
every
five
years,
are
there
certain
criteria
and
benchmarks
that
they
have
to
meet
during
that
five-year
period?
What
how
are
you
going
to
evaluate
them
based
on
if
we're
going
to
renew
their
contract
or
not.
AN
AN
Being
the
first
batch,
we
are
going
to
be
setting
up
a
relationship
with
those
recipients
and
doing
our
monitoring
program
with
them.
So
part
of
the
the
details
of
each
effort
is
to
to
in
the
application
they
requested
the
money
to
do
specific
things
so
ensuring
that
they're
actually
working
on
those
specific
items,
whether
it's
operation
and
maintenance
or
the
services
each
project
is
applying
for
slightly
different
things
as
well.
So
each
building
does
have
a
different
kind
of
need
statement
that
they're
bringing
forward.
AN
K
K
You
know,
renewal
of
of
the
five
year
and
that
they
do
have
to
meet
some
more
I
mean.
Yes,
everyone
is
unique
and
different,
but
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
an
eye
on
that
going
because,
especially
since
this
is
the
first
first
group
second
question
on
the-
and
this
is
so
needed
in
our
in
our
community
about
and
I'm
so
thrilled
that
this
is
here,
the
40
units
for
those
with
intellectual
and
development
disabilities.
K
AM
Sure
we
are
in
the
early
stages
or
the
the
project
is
in
the
early
stages
of
coordinating
Services
with
open
doors,
and
so
we
are
expecting
to
have
a
to
have
a
more
robust
partnership
information
shortly.
But
at
the
moment
they
are
the
bridge.
Housing
is
expecting
to
coordinate
with
open
doors,
which
they
have
a
a
program
that
specifically
serves
residents
with
intellectual
and
developmental
disabilities.
AL
Yeah
I,
just
I,
was
just
going
to
Echo.
We're
really
excited
about
the
partnership
that
they
that
they
have
started
there.
We
recognize
it
as
pretty
early
still
in
the
formation
of
that
partnership
they're
going
to
come.
We
expect
them
to
come
back
and
reapply
for
OMS
funds
next
year,
by
which
time
we
we
hope
to
see
that
they'll
have
fleshed
out
a
lot
of
the
the
key
points,
around
referrals
and
level
of
services
and
and
things
like
that.
Terrific
thank.
I
Members
on
yes,
thank
you,
you
know
I
am
so
so
excited
about
this,
because
I
was
reading
the
packet
going
two
and
a
half
years
ago.
That's
when
we
voted
as
a
council
to
take
advantage
of
the
1590
money
to
allow
us
to
do
this
work
and
it's
it
takes
a
while,
especially
while
we're
trying
to
survive
and
recover
from
covid.
I
So
I
really
am
grateful
that
lifewire
requested
funding
so
that
they
can
lift
up
some
of
the
wages
for
their
workers
as
well
as
operations,
and
then,
when
I
had
a
chance
to
tour
the
Plymouth
Crossing
permanent
Supportive
Housing
just
hearing
about
the
services
they
were
going
to
provide
I
thought
I
heard
there
was
going
to
be
an
x-ray
machine
there.
They
would
be
you
know,
doctors
coming
in
and
actually
serving
the
community.
I
So
the
fact
that
we're
going
to
provide
on-site,
Behavioral,
Health
Services
and
to
do
it
in
a
five-year
tranche.
So
it
is
stable,
reliable
funding
so
that
they
can
actually
get
people
in
to
provide
those
services.
So
I'm
really
excited
to
see
that
piece
I
mean
I
agree
with
the
accountability,
and
yet,
if
we
expect
them,
you
know
to
be
requesting
funding
every
single
year.
That's
not
reliable!
I
So
I
really
like
the
fact
that
we're
looking
at
five
years
on
the
the
bridge
Tod
at
Spring,
District
I've
met
a
number
of
families
in
our
community,
where
they're
they
are
not
able
to
have
their
loved
ones
at
in
a
intellectual
and
developmentally
disabled
housing
and
so
they're
trying
to
care
for
them
in
their
home,
but
they're
aging
themselves.
And
so
it
is
a
really
tough
situation.
So
I'm
glad
to
see
that
we
have
some
of
those
housing
units
as
well.
I
I
I
hope
that
the
Bellevue
Workforce
housing
actually
is
able
to
come
back
when
they
work
through
their
Arrangements
I
guess.
The
question
I
have
so
I
fully
support
the
6.8
million
the
10.9
available.
Is
that
all
the
money
that's
available
to
date
and
the
reason
I
ask
is
because
you
know
we
started
collecting,
but
we
weren't
seeing
a
lot
of
applications.
So
what's
our
current
I
guess
fun
balance
once
we
have
granted
or
issued
the
6.8.
AN
So
we
are
part
way
through
the
third
year
of
collection,
so
we
did
2021
collections
2022..
AN
If
Council
were
to
award
this
this
funding
amount,
we
would
have
about
a
little
over
8
million
left
in
as
a
fund
balance.
So
that's
the
order
of
magnitude
of
what
would
be
remaining.
AN
As,
as
was
noted,
we
are
significantly
ramping
up
the
the
size
of
the
request,
so
the
8
million
might
seem
like
a
lot
but
I
think
in
future
Capital
rounds.
We
are
going
to
be
getting
big
requests
for
money
just
based
on
the
trajectory
of
things.
Okay,
the
order
of
magnitude
on
the
annual
collections
are,
there
were
about
9.7
the
first
year
a
little
under
11
million
the
second
year,
and
then
we've
done
some
projections
of
what
they
would
be
in
the
in
the
out
years
as
well.
Okay,.
I
Well,
my
hope
is
that
if
we
get
Development
coming
that
we
had
talked
about
bonding
against
future
revenues,
because
you're
right,
8
million
for
capital
is,
is
really
quite
small.
I'm,
just
really
glad
to
see
that
when
we
look
at
all
of
these
different
funding,
you
know
just
like
with
the
last
presentation:
we've
got
eight
to
ten
different
funders
to
make
these
projects
work,
and
so
we
want
to
be
one
of
the
anchors
to
move
with
even
more
speed
in
this
zero
to
60
area
median
income.
Thank
you.
Councilmember.
M
Robertson
so
yeah
I
joined
council
members
on
about
and
Debbie
Mayer
new
in
house
about
the
support,
strong
support
for
the
units
of
the
Spring
District
120th,
Tod,
funding
and
I
appreciate
that
we
are
looking
at
five-year
tranches
for
Supportive
Housing
or
for
the
o
m.
My
question
is,
and
I
was
trying
to
remember
a
few
years
ago
we
directed
staff
to
develop
a
guideline
for
best
practices
for
permanent
Supportive
Housing.
M
That
would
be
shared
with
providers
and
I
am
wondering
if
we
have
used
that
guideline
as
a
crosswalk
for
vetting
the
any
provider
that
wants
o
m
money
from
us.
Have
we
done
that.
AL
I
might
need
you
to
to
win
I
I.
The
guide
I'm
familiar
with
that
we
worked
on
developing
was
around
Community
engagement,
so
this
this
project
I,
think
was
in
in
pretty
well
along
with
this
community
engagement
by
the
time
that
guide
was
developed,
but
there
was
some
discussions
about
learning
from
their
experience
to
help
inform
that
guide.
M
AN
Yeah,
so
we
ended
up
with
a
okay.
What
you're
talking
about
councilman
Robertson?
We
ended
up
with
the
the
community
engagement
guide
for
Supportive
Housing
and
that
that
document
is
complete
and
being
used
by
staff.
It
is
something
that
you
know
it's
most
useful
for
projects
at
their
early
stages.
AN
A
number
of
these
are
probably
even
a
little
bit
further
along
in
the
process,
not
at
the
very
beginning.
So
we
are
to
answer
your
question.
We
are
using
that
guide.
Some
of
these
that's
a
bit
of
a
catch-up
to
to
get
it
to
these
specific
projects,
but
any
new
projects.
We
are
relaying
that
Community
engagement
guide
for
Supportive
Housing
to
them.
Okay,
so.
M
I
guess
if
that's
was
the
sum
total
of
the
guide
I
think
I
wanted
to
be
much
more
expensive,
but
I
think
that
was
voted
down.
But
the
I
would
like
to
definitely
look
at
the
effectiveness
as
well
as
any
issues,
because
we
want
the
facilities
and
the
services
in
Bellevue
to
provide
really
effective
services
to
help
people
stabilize
help.
M
I
definitely
want
to
make
sure
that
the
the
ones
that
we
are
funding
are
ones
that
are
effective,
are
good,
neighbors,
etc,
etc.
So,
if
I
could
have
some
additional
information
offline
about
what
we
will
be
tracking
and
what
we
will
be
looking
at
in
terms
of
evaluating
the
performance
of
the
organizations
that
we
are
funding,
I'm
very
interested
in
that,
because
you
know
carrot,
carrots
should
come
with
some
accountability
so
and
I'm
very
much
in
favor
of
wanting
to
make
sure
that
we're
funding.
M
Only
the
programs
that
are
super
effective
and
that
are
also
good
neighbors,
so
other
than
that
I'm
I'm
happy
to
move
this
along
thanks
do.
AN
Yeah
we
will
pull
together
a
summary
of
how
we're
going
to
be
doing
the
monitoring
and
then
also
to
councilmember
Robertson's
question
about
you
know
what
is
success
going
to
look
like
because
we're
we
were
very
interested
in
providing
funding
to
Providers?
Actually,
there
was
debate
about,
should
it
be
10
or
15
years.
We
thought
that
was
too
long,
so
it's
five
years,
but
also
with
the
monitoring
and
the
intervening
years
to
make
sure
that
they
are
doing
what
they're
being
funded
to
do
right.
A
E
Yeah
I
think
this.
This
is
very
good
and
I'm
I'm
totally
behind
this
on
the
accountability
thing.
I
do
think
that
it's
good
to
look
and
see
what
you
have
but
again
from
what
I've
seen.
Obviously,
you
know
we're
Staffing
we're
working
on
this
and
we're
you
have
guidelines
and
you
seem
to
have
a
lot
of
conversation
with
them
and
all
I
think
you're.
That's
a
big
part
of
your
job
that
you're
doing
it.
E
Well,
it's
just
good
for
us
all
to
see
and
kind
of
feel
it
helps
us
to
feel
some
comfort
level
on
it,
but
as
you've
gone
through
this,
you
can
have
a
real
I
think,
a
grasp
of
what
you're
doing
and
what's
going
on
so
I,
think
focusing
on
keeping
that
going
is
very,
very
good
and
it's
hard.
E
The
soundtrack
is
things
that
in
the
Spring
District
and
specifically
on
that
one
project,
and
that
was
when
we're
trying
to
do
figure
out
what
we're
going
to
do,
what
bellevue's
piece
of
that
property,
and
so
it
is
so
exciting
to
see
that
actually
come
to
fruition
and
it's
it's
real
now,
not
just
a
dream.
So
that's
great.
AB
AI
D
Very
important
and
I
think
it's
good
that
to
see
you
coming
back
recall.
You
know
when
we
first
put
this
budgeting,
there's
a
lot
of
controversy.
Right
I
mean
we
were
we're
very
much
in
community
upheaval
as
to
you
know
what
that's
going
to
be.
What
turning
out
to
be,
and
we
are
fortunate
that
you
know
we
have
real
good
staff
work
due
diligence
working
with
you
know,
could
service
providers.
You
know,
that's
never
been
done
before
these
are
new
people.
On
this
thing,
the
only
one
is
congregation
homeless.
A
D
Housing
as
this
Live
Wire,
regardless,
it's
new
experience
for
Bellevue
new
experience
for
the
people
of
Bellevue
who
live
in
this
in
the
area
and
they're
very
concerned.
They
have
lots
of
questions
and
I
have
a
lot
of
questions
so
I
think
a
lot
of
people
do,
but
we
chose
them
because
of
you
know.
Maybe,
as
mayor
was
talking
about,
we
feel
that
that
you
know
best
fit
that
we
can
have
them
and
we
don't
know
a
lot
of
things.
So
most
of
the
people
have
to
work
by
by
faith
right.
So
we
would.
D
We
believe
we
look
at
your
qualification
or
that
and
you
will
do
a
good
job,
so
we
have
required
agreements
right,
good,
neighbors
agreement,
but
even
good
neighbors
women.
There
are
many
things
you
cannot
clearly
dealing
in
delineate
just
an
agreement
because
we
don't
really
know
what's
going
to
happen,
so
there's
nothing
much
to
agree
on.
So
we
have
to
do
it
on
faith
that
they
will
make
sure
they
follow
the
spirit
of
things
and
making
sure
that
we
can
evaluate
when
we
move
along
and
this
flexibility
in
coming
up
with.
D
You
know
new
way
of
making
sure
they
manage
it
right
and
basically
it's
going
to
be
satisfactory
to
the
neighborhood
and
to
the
city
of
Bellevue
to
the
spirit
of
what
we
want
to
see
and
so
far
it
seems
to
be
proven
out
to
be
okay
and
we
we
by
faith,
we
say
well
when
we
come
to
time
to
evaluate
you,
know
how
we're
doing
I
think
that's
what
councilmember
Roberts
is
talking
about.
What
kind
of
perspectives
is?
What
have
they
been
doing?
Are
they
do?
D
We
do
I,
have
communication
with
the
neighbors
and
making
sure
that
you
know
we're
moving
the
right
direction,
and
so
it's
going
to
happen
and
we're
going
to
see
how
well
they
are
doing.
Apparently
you
know
we're
pretty
satisfied,
so
the
relationship
is
good.
You
know
we
we
work
on
a
lot
of
it,
so
I'm
Faith.
That's
that's
important,
because
it's
something
like
this.
It's
got
to
be
on
that
basis,
because
if
it
happens
something
we
don't
like
it's
too
late,
so
we
got
to
make
sure
that
we
operating
on
same
position.
D
So
I
want
to
make
sure
you
know.
So
we
talk
about
being
flexible,
they
can
help
us
making
sure
that
you
know
we
we're
satisfied
and
they
will
comply
with
what
we,
the
neighbors,
would
be.
You
know
willing
to
live
with,
so
have
we
been
keeping
track?
Have
we
been
working
with
neighbors?
Have
we
been
pretty
much
in
line
and
we
have
been
building
good
communication
and
relationships.
Q
AN
AN
You
know
partnered
with
others
down
on
that
campus
to
do
the
Outreach
for
that
project.
Hope
starts
here,
lifewire,
that's
a
known
known
project,
so
that's
us
a
needed
project
for
Bellevue,
and
it's
a
good
one
that
we're
giving
money
to
and
then
the
I
think,
as
was
mentioned
in
the
Sprint
District,
that's
a
known
project
as
well.
So
these
are.
These
are
projects
that
have
done
their
due
diligence.
We
vetted
them
against
their
monetary
ask
and
we
think
funding
them
would
be
a
wise
thing
to
do.
AN
D
D
A
You
have
the
extensive
Outreach
that
took
a
year
and
delayed
that
project
by
year,
but
got
a
community
of
people
in
support
of
a
program.
We've
done
a
remarkable
job
and
I
I
feel
so
fortunate
that
we
have
some
of
the
best
providers
in
the
region
working
with
the
city
and
that's
all
because
of
you
bringing
them
in
and
working
with
them
and
collaborating
and
we're
very
lucky.
We
really
are
to
have
this
type
of
talent.
A
So
thank
you
for
this.
I
definitely
am
supportive
of
all
the
the
funding
recommendations,
but
in
the
future,
I
think
we
need
to
see
more,
a
bigger
Human,
Service
budget
and
I.
Think
the
deputy
mayor
has
spoken
to
that
as
well,
and
I
think
that
we
have
an
opportunity
here,
maybe
to
generate
more
funding
for
some
Behavioral
Health
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
criteria.
A
It
has
to
meet
in
order
to
use
that
1590
money,
but
as
we
increase
our
responsibility
to
same-day
services
and
Supportive
Housing,
hardest
thing
is
getting
the
providers,
and
just
the
the
great
thing
about
prop
one
that
just
passed
is
all
about
paying
to
educate
people
and
get
them
ready
to
be
providers.
But
we're
going
to
have
to
pay
people
to
serve
our
community,
and
so,
if
there's
a
way
that
we
can
increase
our
Human
Service
funding
with
the
1590
I
I'd
appreciate
it.
Looking
at
that
in
the
future.
E
A
Okay,
so
I
I,
I'm
understanding
from
council
member
Robertson
that
she's
not
interested
in
having
this
come
to
consent.
Is
that
true
you'd
like
to
have
it.
A
A
K
D
A
A
Okay,
we
have
two
more
items.
We
have
a
land
use
item
and
I'm
going
to
let
Diane
Carlson,
introduce
it
and
then
we'll
kind
of
review
the
quasi-judicial
process,
because
some
of
us
haven't
done
this
before
and
some
of
us-
it's
been
a
long
time
since
we've
done
it
so
we'll
go
over
the
hearing,
examiner's
criteria
and
the
limits
of
our
contemplation
on
that.
O
Thank
you
mayor.
So
this
is
a
quasi-judicial
rezone
and
given
the
quasi-judicial
nature,
Kathy
girl,
our
City
attorney,
will
introduce
the
item
for
the
council
and
we're
joined
here
by
Liz
stead,
land
use
director
and
Amy
tarse,
the
senior
planner
in
development
services
department.
They
will
be
reviewing
the
information
from
the
hearings
examiner,
so
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Kathy
to
give
you
the
instructions
and
introduce
the
item.
AC
Thank
you.
So
this
is
a
specific
result
for
you
tonight.
It's
considering
the
rezone
of
a
3.17
acre
parcel
within
the
East
Gate
sub
area.
This
implements
a
2017
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
that
the
council
adopted
the
change
that
land
use,
designation
of
this
property
from
office
to
office,
limited
business
to
or
olb
to
as
Ms
Carlson
mentioned.
This
is
a
quasi-judicial
proceeding.
AC
So
the
process
is
that
the
hearing
examiner
holds
an
evidentiary
hearing,
which
she
did
in
this
case
and
then
makes
a
recommendation
nation
and
to
you,
the
council
and
the
council
makes
the
final
decision
based
upon
the
record
before
the
hearing
examiner.
So
in
this
case
the
hearing
examiner
has
recommended
approval
and
tonight
you're
not
being
asked
to
make
any
decisions.
The
purpose
is
to
allow
Ms
stead
and
Miss
tars
to
do
an
overview
for
you
of
what's
of
the
project
and
allow
you
to
ask
any
questions
based
on
things
that
are
in
the
record.
AC
We
will
come
back
at
the
May
22nd
meeting
and
ask
for
approval
of
the
actual
rezone
so
before
I
turn
it
over
to
midstead
and
Miss.
Tarse
I
will
recommend
mayor
that
you
do
ask
the
council
members
if
they
have
any
ex-party
contacts,
because
that
they
would
disclose
on
the
record,
because
this
is
quasi
judicial.
A
So,
council,
member
Barksdale
any
expert
Communications
on
this
councilmember
Lee.
E
I
Z
Z
The
slide
presentation
format
is
not
what
you're
accustomed
to
for
Council
meetings.
This
was
prepared
for
the
hearing
examiner
and
is
the
same
presentation
that
is
in
the
record,
and
we
are
obligated
to
stay
with
the
record
at
this
point.
So
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
clear
that
up
the
request.
Tonight
it
is
the
site-specific
rezone
and
the
property
is
located
at
15400
Southeast,
30th
Place
and
the
request
is
to
amend
the
generalized
zoning
map
from
Office
o
to
office,
limited
business
to
or
olb2.
You
will
see
both
of
those
designations
in
the
presentation.
Z
They
are
used:
interchangeably
of
office,
limited
business
and
olb.
So
please
note
if
you
have
that
this
will
make
the
property
consistent
with
the
comp
plan
land
use,
designation,
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
pass
this
over
to
Amy.
Who
will
go
through
the
presentation
that
was
provided
to
the
hearing
examiner
and
give
you
a
little
more
information
about
the
request.
AO
AO
In
2017,
the
city
council
adopted
the
Eastgate
Office
Park
Amendment
to
the
comprehensive
plan.
That
amendment
was
to
basically
reclassify
three
properties
in
the
East
Gate
sub-area
from
o
office
to
olb
office
limited
business.
This
subject,
property
is
one
of
those
Parcels
in
2021,
a
rezone
of
the
adjacent
property
at
15325,
Southeast,
35th,
30th
Place,
was
also
approved
by
the
city
council
and
that
rezone
was
from
o
office
and
CB
community
business
to
olb2
office,
limited
business
too.
AO
As
you
can
see
on
this
vicinity
map
the
subject,
property
is
surrounded
by
primarily
commercial
uses
and
office
users
and
to
the
South
West
corner.
You
will
see
the
I-90
ramp,
which
is
about
five
minutes
drive
from
this
property
and
the
Eastgate
Park
and
Ride,
which
is
not
on
the
map,
but
is
further
west
of
the
I-90
ramp,
is
about
the
25
minute.
Walk
to
this
property
next
slide,
please
so
as
mentioned
already.
This
is
a
process.
AO
Three
crazy
judicial

wherein
the
city
council
will
make
the
final
decision
and
the
hearing
examiner
makes
a
recommendation
to
the
city
council
concurrent
with
this
process.

Sorry,
southwest

you'll
see
that
the
the

is
actually
covered
with
commercial,
with

or
CBE
and
to
the
north
we
see
a
couple
of
properties
that
are
classified
as
single
family,
high
density.
AO
In
terms
of
the
zoning,
the
existing
subject,
property
is
still
zoned

while
all
the

that
were
also
identified
in
the

compre
on
the

plan
actually
shows

and,
in
addition
to
that,
what
we
see
is
a
a
hatched
area,
that's
equivalent
to
about
300
feet.
That's
a
transition
overlay,
that's
included
in
in
this
subject
property.
AO
What
you
see
on
the

property
that
is
outlined
in

is
the
two
Parcels
that
was
included
in
the
East

comprehensive

Amendment
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
these
two
properties
have
already
been
rezoned
to
olb2.

This

shows
a

the
zoning
dimensional
requirements
for
the
existing
zoning,
which
is
O
office
to
the
proposed
oil
B2
office,
limited

What
you'll
see
is
that
there
will
be
an
increase
in
the
density
and
a
reduction
in
the
structure
setbacks
by
rezoning
this
property
from
o
to
olb2.
However,
there
will
be
no
changes
to
the

coverage,
the
maximum

or
the
maximum

coverage.
In
addition,
the

A
A
Slide
with
it
listed
in
this
all
right.
Well
then,
let
me
just
say
we're
not
taking
action
tonight.
We
can
discuss
the
process,
the
quasi-judicial
process
and
we
can
discuss,
ask
questions
or
on
the
criteria,
but
we
can't
really
discuss
outside
of
the
criteria
that
the
hearing
examiner
used
to
make
her
recommendation.
A
D
K
A
A
This
is
an
action
item.
Go
ahead,
Diane.
O
Thank
you,
mayor
council.
This
is
our
last
item
this
evening
is
a
proposed
ordinance
declaring
graffiti
a
public
nuisance.
The
council
discussed
graffiti
removal
at
the
June
2022
staff,
Council
Retreat
and
staff
returned
in
March
of
this
year
with
a
draft
ordinance
for
Council
discussion
based
on
the
feedback.
At
that
meeting,
staff
is
returning
tonight
to
seek
council's
adoption
of
the
proposed
ordinance
and
at
the
table
we
have
Jessica
nadelman
senior
Assistant
Attorney
with
the
city
attorney's
office
and
Liz
stead.
AP
Thank
you,
hello.
All
we're
saving
the
best
for
last
year,
okay,
we're
here
to
ask
you
about
adopting
an
ordinance
amending
the
city
code
to
Define
graffiti
as
a
nuisance,
and
our
agenda
tonight
is
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
that
ordinance.
Talk
about
how
it
is
going
to
be
enforced
in
the
education
that
goes
along
with
it
and
then
propose
that
we
monitor
its
progress
and
come
back
to
you
with
some
more
information
in
the
first
quarter
of
2024.
AP
So,
as
was
just
mentioned,
this
was
stemmed
from
the
adopted
2023-24
budget,
which
had
an
item
concerning
keeping
Bellevue
safe,
clean
and
vibrant.
On
March
6th,
we
had
a
council
meeting
in
which
we
were
given
direction
to
come
back
with
an
ordinance
declaring
graffiti
a
nuisance
and
to
explain
how
that
was,
can
be
enforced
and
discuss
the
education
and
assistance
piece
that
goes
along
with
the
ordinance.
AP
So
as
a
reminder,
the
ordinance
is
amends
the
code
to
add
graffiti
as
a
nuisance
under
our
nuisance
code
to
be
enforced
by
our
code
enforcement
staff
under
the
code
under
chapter
1.18
and
Liz
is
going
to
speak
to
the
education
and
assistance
piece
that
goes
along
with
the
enforcement.
Z
Thank
you,
Jessica.
The
enforcement
action
will
be
taken
by
Code
Compliance
staff,
and
we
discussed
this
a
bit
at
our
last
meeting,
but
a
little
more
information
as
you're
all
aware.
All
of
our
enforcement
actions
are
by
complaint.
Z
We
do
not
proactively
enforce
unless
there
is
a
life
safety
issue
at
stake,
and
then,
of
course,
we
would
move
in,
and
so
in
this
case,
if
we
did
have
a
complaint
from
somebody
about
some
graffiti
on
a
person's
property,
we
would
contact
that
responsible
party
and
we
would
use
what
we
like
to
call
our
neighborly
approach
and
honestly,
is
that
in
all
of
our
enforcement
actions
is
something
that
I
feel
very
strongly
about,
in
which
our
code
enforcement
officers
are
really
very
fantastic.
At
doing,
we
would
look
for
voluntary
compliance.
Z
We
always
try
to
get
to
voluntary
compliance
with
all
of
our
nuisance
cases,
and
we
generally
have
a
success
rate
of
about
98
percent.
So
when
we
do
have
nuisance
cases,
The
Code,
Enforcement,
Officers
work
very
proactive
actively
with
the
complainants
and
also
with
the
responsible
parties
to
get
to
that
compliance.
It
is
always
our
last
last
available
option
to
take
it
any
further
than
that
voluntary
compliance,
and
we
we
have
a
very
good
success
rate
there.
We
will
be
looking
at
education,
informational
materials
will
be
provided.
Z
We
have
started
working
on
a
brochure
that
will
be
completed
after
this
meeting
and
we
have
everything
organized
out.
So
we
are
looking
at
that.
The
Code
Compliance
officers
will
provide
that
when
they
first
make
contact
with
the
responsible
parties-
and
we
do
need
to
note
that
as
much
as
we
like
to
tout
our
success
rate
in
voluntary
compliance,
if
there
is
non-compliance,
it
would
result
in
a
civil
violation
and
potential
further
action.
So
we
do
have
to
acknowledge
that
that
could
could
be
the
case.
Z
But
again
we
rarely
find
ourselves
a
message
in
that
situation,
especially
for
the
nuisance
items
in
terms
of
the
education
and
assistance.
As
I
mentioned,
the
Code
Compliance
staff
will
be
passing
out
these
brochures
we
have.
The
brochure
will
include
tips
on
removal
of
graffiti.
It
will
provide
resources
for
what
are
the
best
materials
and
how
to
remove
graffiti.
It
will
also
provide
referrals
to
Jubilee
reach,
which
we
have
contacted
and
they
are
willing
to
assist
in
that
manner
and
help
people
who
don't
have
the
resources
to
remove
it
on
their
own
with
that
removal.
Z
Z
So
potential
future
programming.
We
do
recognize
that
we,
there
are
things
we
don't
know
yet,
and
so
we
are
proposing
that
staff
return
in
the
first
quarter
of
2024.
At
that
time
we
will
have
had
some
experience.
We
can
see
you
know
kind
of
how
the
how
the
program
is
working
and
we
can
monitor
the
effectiveness
and
then
we
can,
if
there
are
additional
adjustments
that
are
warranted
at
that
time.
Z
We
can
certainly
look
at
that
then,
and
we
can
have
an
additional
consideration,
and
we
understand
that
this
is
a
an
area
of
prime
interest
for
our
Council
as
part
of
the
keep
Bellevue
beautiful,
programming
and
we'd
like
to
make
sure
that
we
stay
on
top
of
it
and
check
the
effectiveness
of
this
program.
So
we
we
do
propose
that
we
would
come
back
in
2024
q1
and
by
then
we
should
have
some
good
data
on
what
we're
seeing
and
how
it's
How
the
program
is
working
out.
Z
A
K
You
mayor
first
thank
you,
Liz
and
Jessica
for
tremendous
work.
You've
done
on
this
thus
far,
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
as
well
for
supporting
this
ordinance
to
date,
going
all
the
way
back
when
this
was
a
retreat
topic,
but
also
inserting
this
into
the
budget
as
well.
K
You
know-
and
this
is
something
that
has
you
know
great
interest
in
our
in
our
community
as
we've
had
numerous
residence
businesses,
the
BDA
chamber
Etc
all
weigh
in
on
this
on
this
important
issue
and
it's
a
it's
a
key
pillar
of
the
keep
Bellevue
beautiful
initiative.
So
you
know
graffiti,
like
litter
and
shopping
carts
has
been
a
growing
concern
amongst
those
businesses
and
and
residents
I'm,
just
thrilled
that
we're
addressing
it
and
that
we're
in
a
position
to
do
something
about
it
this
evening
and
it's
really
an
opportunity
to
protect
the
Bellevue
brand.
K
You
know,
and
just
I
won't
go
into
all
the
issues
or
all
the
description
of
why
this
is
important
to
do.
I've
done
that
once
before
already,
but
and
but
what
I
did
really
like
is
in
the
memo
packet.
The
code
enforcement
has
just
such
a
tremendous
track
record
of
success.
I,
don't
think
this
is
going
to
be
any
different,
but,
as
you
said,
Liz
you
know
98.
K
This
is
resolved
without
any
additional
action
and
even
with
the
addition
of
graffiti
I,
don't
really
see
that
you
know
moving
all
that
much,
but
I'm
so
also
thankful
that
we're
going
to
bring
this
back
after
six
months
and
if
we
need
to
adjust
this
in
any
way
where
we
we
can
do
that
one
way
or
the
other
depending
on
the
data
and
would
love
you
to
touch
on
that
in
terms
of
what
kind
of
data
we're
we're
going
to
collect.
I
could
assume
some
of
the
Baseline
data.
K
In
terms
of
you
know
number
of
reports.
How
many
were
actually
voluntary
it
was
it
was.
It
was
cleaned
up
how
much
if
any
went
to
an
actual
civil
by
violation.
All
that
will
be
tracked.
I'm
assuming,
but
you
know
this
neighborly
approach
is
you
know,
kind
of
that
that
Bellevue
approach
and
I
think
that's
so
important
too
to
continue-
and
you
know,
the
the
compliance
officer
shares
that
helpful
information
about
the
resources
that
you
mentioned
to
help
mitigate
the
violation,
as
described
in
our
practice.
K
What
you
know
this
unique
flyer
and
packet
of
information,
I
love
the
fact
that
you're
already
thinking
ahead
to
the
to
our
to
our
newsletter
or
or
it's
your
City
to
have
an
article
in
there
I
think
that's
great
as
well.
So
whatever
we
can
do
to
inform
our
residents
and
businesses
of
this
of
this
ordinance
is,
is
going
to
be
very
helpful,
as
well
as
the
ability
for
Jubilee
reach.
If
they
are
unable
to
do
it
on
their
own,
they
can
actually
call
Jubilee
or
I'll
give
them
the
resources
a
call.
K
The
number
and
the
contact
information
call
Jubilee
reach
and
Jubilee
reach
can
can
remove
the
graffiti
on
behalf
of
that
Resident
or
business.
So
I'm
thrilled
that
we're
at
this
point
I'm
excited
that
this
is
before
us
and
again
really
appreciate
the
support
of
my
colleagues
on
this.
But
again,
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work
on
this.
A
Actually,
I'm
I'm
gonna.
Let
us
go
so
council
members
On's
next.
I
Yes,
thank
you.
You
know
I
really
appreciate
the
thoughtfulness
of
the
of
the
packet
and
the
information
that
came
back
for
more
feedback
about.
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we
are
addressing
graffiti?
That
and
I
appreciate
the
work.
That's
gone
into
right,
creating
the
the
Outreach
so
that
the
goal
is
to
remove
graffiti
and
the
the
neighborly
approach.
I.
Really
like
I
guess.
I
My
question
is,
as
we
think
about
this
being
reviewed
in
six
months
and
coming
back
I
mean
I
would
like
our
us
to
consider
whether,
when
it
comes
back-
and
we
look
at
the
effectiveness,
whether
that's
this
gets
folded
into
the
the
keep
Bellevue
beautiful,
because
we
actually
see
other
cities.
In
fact,
recently,
several
neighboring
cities,
as
well
as
the
Chinatown
International
District,
would
have
Community
events
where
they're
actually
picking
up
litter
as
well
as
cleaning
up
graffiti,
and
it
just
seems
like
this-
is
a
really
Community
Building
type
of
of
potential.
I
So
I
just
wonder
if
there's
going
to
be
potentially
a
way
to
look
at
how
some
of
this
work
might
have
been
developed
through
code
enforcement
But.
Ultimately,
it
may
actually
be
more
through
the
Bellevue
cleaning
or
the
the
keep
Bellevue
beautiful
aspect
where,
at
the
same
time
that
we're
picking
up
litter
graffiti
can
also
be
cleaned
up
as
well,
so
I
guess
I
as
I'm
reading
the
packet
it
says,
council's
dialogue
will
determine
whether
further
action
is
needed
and
I
guess
that
would
be.
I
My
question
is
right:
now
what
we're
asked
to
do
is
move
to
adopt
the
Ordinance.
Do
we
need
anything
else
that
would
create
this
commitment
to
do
more
and
and
look
at
how
the
the
actual
graffiti
cleanup
could
be
done
in
multitude
of
ways,
and
not
just
only
through
Code
Compliance.
From
a
now
you
have
a
complaint
versus
a
neighbor,
helping
neighbor
type
of
way.
Z
Sure,
that's
a
it's
a
good
question,
because
it
is
you
know
one
of
the
things
we
could
do
is
we
could.
It
would
be
great
if
you
provided
Direction,
but
Council
or
staff
could
come
back
in
six
months
with
the
data.
So
we
understand
what
problems
we've
seen
and
what
so
it
and
we
could
come
back
with
some
preliminary
ideas
for
Council
to
consider
about.
You
know
responses
to
the
data
and
what
we're
seeing
so
that
could
be
one
way
to
do
it
and
then
I
do
think.
Z
Keep
Bellevue
beautiful
program
is
the
home
for
any
sort
of
assistance,
I
think
you're
right
on
there.
It's
certainly
not
Code
Compliance,
but
I
have
been
speaking
with
Mike
McCormick
councilman,
who
is
leading
up
the
keep
Bellevue
beautiful
program,
so
he
is
aware
and
he's
been
doing,
a
lot
of
research
on
other
jurisdictions
and
how
they're
handling
some
of
their
more
programmatic
efforts
around
graffiti.
So
we
could
use
this
time
as
our
trial
period
and
then
come
back
with
some
suggestions
about
what
you
know.
What
are
some
other
additional
steps
that
we
could
out
on?
A
I
think
that
if
we
hear
from
the
council
that
there's
an
interest
that
supports
what
you're
recommending
which
is
I
understand,
is,
in
six
months
return
with
data
and
prelimit
and
and
the
staff
bring
back
preliminary
recommendations
on
responses
to
that
data
and
recommendations
on
how
we
best
include
this
program
and
our
keep
Bellevue
beautiful
program.
AG
AG
A
AB
Thank
you,
mayor,
I,
agree
had
not
okay
question
about
the
assistance.
What
who
defines
whether
it's
a
qualifying
need
is
that
Jubilee
reach
or
is
it
the
city
it.
AB
Okay,
probably
I
I,
guess
I'm
just
thinking.
If
someone
has
a
qualifying
need,
then,
and
there's
a
disconnect
right
that
we
we
think,
there's
someone
who
has
a
qualifying
need,
but
maybe
they
don't
so
maybe
that's
where
it
goes
to
another
Outlet
I.
Think
similar
to
what
council
members
I
was
mentioning.
Z
I
think
that's
exactly
right.
We
would
be
able
to
use
this
time
to
kind
of
explore.
Are
there
other
people
that
don't
quite
reach
the
Jubilee
Rich
the
Jubilee
Rich
it's
getting
late,
but
they
don't
quite
get
there
for
that
type
of
assistance,
but
at
the
same
time
there
is
something
that
maybe
the
city
could
do
to
help
them
remove
the
graffiti.
Z
So
this
will
provide
us
with
some
time,
and
one
of
the
things
we
will
also
be
doing
is
getting
that
feedback
directly
from
those
Code
Compliance
officers
who
are
meeting
with
people
and
hearing
so
w
mayor
noon.
House
you
talked
about
what
are
you
know?
What
are
we
going
to
learn?
You
know
we're
going
to
learn.
You
know
how
many
cases
there
are
we're
going
to
learn
where
they're
located
we're
going
to
learn.
Z
Are
they
in
private
property
or
right
of
ways
where
you
know
all
of
those
things,
but
we're
also
going
to
get
the
feedback
directly
from
the
people
who
are
affected
and
we
will
learn
from
that
as
well.
It
won't
be
as
quantitative,
but
there
will
be.
You
know
we
will
be
able
to
learn
what
those
needs
are
through
that
as
well.
A
AG
A
Thank
you
so
we're
on
you
I
believe.
M
A
Okay,
councilmember
Lee.
D
Thank
you,
I,
like
your
proposal,
one
question:
what
makes
ubd
reach
special
that
they
can
do.
This
are
the
other
organization
that
can
help
with
this.
Z
They
have
reached
out
in
similar
circumstances.
We've
only
had
one
circumstance
that
we
know
of
where
you
know
somebody
has
said:
I
really
need
this
assistance
and
Jubilee
reach
did
step
in
so
I.
Think
your
point
or
where
I'm
going
to
go
with
your
question,
is
that
they're,
probably
you
know
there
may
be
some
other
non-profits
organizations
that
could
also
assist,
and
during
this
six
months
we'll
certainly
be
looking
to
see
if
there
are
other
opportunities
for
other
non-profits
to
step
in
as
well.
I
think
that's
important
to
think
about
end.
A
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed
and
I
hear
support
for
council
members
on
recommendations
for
six
months
from
now.
Okay,
so
thank
you
staff.
Thank
you
for
bearing
with
us
it's
been
a
long
meeting
for
everybody
in
the
community
as
well.
Thank
you
for
hanging
in
there
next
meeting
is
canceled,
so
we
will
resume
on
May
22nd
and
with
that
our
meeting
is
adjourned.
