B
This
is
known
as
the
East
main
light
rail
station,
so
we
went
through
a
process
a
couple
of
years
ago
with
a
citizen
advisory
committee
to
create
a
vision
and
a
plan
for
the
future
redevelopment
of
the
area
east
of
112
south
of
Main
Street
down
to
southeast
8th,
to
create
what
we
call
in
planning
transit,
oriented
development.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
the
citizens
committee
really
talked
about.
B
They
saw
this
as
being
a
new
neighborhood
that
was
being
created,
but
it
would
also
be
a
complement
to
downtown
and
to
the
existing
neighborhoods,
so
would
have
restaurants
and
cafes
and
coffee
shops
and
just
the
types
of
goods
and
services.
That
would
also
be
useful
and
helpful
to
the
folks
that
that
are
already
living
in
this
part
of
the
downtown,
as
well
as
a
single-family
residential
areas
to
the
west.
We
really
want
to
create
something
that
is
not
it's
not
recreating
a
typical,
suburban,
mall
or
shopping
experience.
B
It's
really
much
more
of
an
urban
type
of
retail
living
and
working
experience.
So
we
want
people
to
know
about
this
project
right
now,
because
the
Planning
Commission
is
going
to
be
considering
some
new
policies
that
will
go
in
the
Comprehensive
Plan,
as
well
as
new
development
regulations
that
will
really
set
the
stage
for
the
type
of
development
can
occur
here
and
it's
important
for
people
to
know
that's
happening,
so
they
can
come
down.
B
They
can
learn
about
what's
being
proposed
and
also
provide
their
input
about
things
that
they
may
be
concerned
about
ideas
they
might
have
for
how
it
should
look,
how
big
it
should
be,
what
tight,
how
they
want
to
access
the
types
of
uses
that
will
be
on
the
site.
So
one
of
the
important
reasons
for
people
to
get
involved
in
this
process
is
we're
asking
them
to
weigh
in
on
some
very
specific
development
regulations
that
will
be
put
in
place
for
the
new,
the
new
development
that
will
occur
on
these
properties.
B
East
of
112,
for
example,
part
of
the
vision
that
the
Citizens
Committee
came
up
with
set
a
maximum
height
of
between
200
and
300
feet
for
the
areas
that
are
right
along
Main,
Street
and
114,
and
it's
important
that
people
understand
that
that
that
could
happen
in
the
future
depending
on
what
goes
into
these
regulations.
So
those
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
the
Planning
Commission
will
be
looking
at
and
deciding
on.
So
now
is
a
good
time
for
people
to
get
involved,
we're
going
to
be
working
with
the
Planning
Commission.
B
Looking
at
the
policies
that
are
going
to
go
in
place
that
will
guide
the
the
development
of
those
regulations
that
will
set
the
stage
for
what
can
happen
on
the
site
so
from
now
through.
Basically,
the
end
of
April
is
when
we'd
really
like
to
hear
from
the
public
about
what
they
would
like
to
see
on
the
site
if
you're
interested
in
being
involved.
B
The
the
best
way
to
to
learn
about
what's
happening
and
the
meetings
that
are
coming
up
is
to
look
at
the
city's
website,
go
to
the
lvy
gov
and
look
under
the
planning
community
development
department
initiatives
and
you'll
see
one
there
for
East
Main
Station
implementation.
They
can
also
call
for
two
five,
four
five,
two
two
seven
three
five
next.
A
B
First
thing
I
want
to
show
you
is
there:
the
street
is
where
they're
excavating
for
the
tunnel
and
the
tile
that
will
go
through
downtown
and
that's
also
where
the
new
park
will
be
once
all
of
the
excavation
is
completed,
it'll
be
accessible
to
the
neighborhood
and
they'll
actually
use
the
park
to
get
down
212
and
to
the
station.
So
we're
gonna
walk
south
112
I'm,
going
to
show
you
where
the
station
will
be
as
well
as
where
the
new
development
could
be
occurring.
So
you
see
the
length
of
the
wall.
B
This
is
really
the
area
that
will
be
the
park.
Get
this
in
and
then
there'll
be
some
utilities
related
to
the
light
rail
system
itself,
and
then
the
station
will
begin
about
it,
the
south
end
of
where
the
roll
ends
right
now
on
that
side
of
the
street.
So
the
all
of
the
character
of
this
street
is
going
to
change
dramatically
with
all
of
the
construction
and
then
once
the
light,
rail
is
in
place.
It'll
be
running
pretty
much
along
the
same
level
as
the
street,
all
the
way
down
to
South
East,
15th
Street.
B
So
right
now
we're
walking
on
to
the
site
of
the
Red
Lion
Hotel,
and
this
is
one
of
the
main
sites
where
we're
expecting
to
a
lot
of
new
development
to
be
occurring
in
the
future.
Once
we
get
the
policies
and
the
regulations
in
place.
So
if
you
turn
around
look
this
way
you
can
see
off
to
the
east.
There's
the
Hilton
Hotel,
which
is
about
a
hundred
and
ten
feet
tall,
and
the
vision
that
was
created
by
the
citizens
committee
is
actually
considering
Heights
as
much
as
300
feet.
B
It'll
notice
there's
a
lot
of
parking
area
here
on
both
the
Red
Lion
site
and
the
Hilton
site.
So
all
of
this
parking
would
be
available
for
new
buildings
and
then
the
parking
would
be
contained.
Any
future
parking
would
be
contained
either
underground
or
within
those
buildings.
So
they'd
be
wrapped
what
we
call
wrapped
with
with
other
uses,
so
you
wouldn't
actually
see
the
parking
and
the
reason
for
that
is.
We
want
to
create
a
people
space
as
I've
mentioned,
and
it's
it's
much
more
pedestrian
friendly.
It's
much
more
attractive.
B
People
are
more
likely
to
come
in
and
shop
at
the
places
that
will
be
here
if
it
looks
like
it's
more
for
people
than
for
cars.
So
now
I'd
like
to
show
you
a
vantage
point,
that's
sort
of
in
the
center
of
all
of
this
to
get
an
idea
of
what's
here
now
and
what
could
be
happening
here
in
the
future,
we're
walking
over
toward
the
Hilton
Hotel
and
the
large
parking
area.
That's
in
front
of
that
hotel.
B
So
just
up
this
hill-
and
you
can
see
it's
a
pretty
flat
area
here
that
we're
talking
about.
So
if
we
look
back
to
the
north,
you'll
see
the
downtown
skyline
and
you
get
an
idea
of
just
how
close
we
are
to
downtown
Bellevue
downtown.
Officially
on
the
map
starts
at
Main,
Street
and
then
going
north,
so
we're
right
across
the
street
from
that.
B
So
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
point
out
is
the
the
single-family
area
to
the
west,
which
is
the
Surrey
Downs
neighborhood
and
then
the
Bell
crest
neighborhood.
Beyond
that
those
are
areas
that
were
involved.
The
neighbors
were
involved
in
the
development
of
this
plan
for
the
area,
and
they
definitely
want
to
see
this
as
complementary
to
what
they
would
like
to
have
available
to
them
in
terms
of
goods
and
services.
B
Restaurants
shops,
those
types
of
things,
so
the
plan
was
very
clear
and
the
council
was
very
clear
in
their
policies
that
we
are
not
doing
anything
to
the
single-family
area.
So
all
the
new
development
will
be
in
this
commercial
area
that
is
already
designated
for
commercial,
we're
just
changing
the
types
of
commercial
uses
that
can
go
here.
So
it'll
include
more
of
a
variety
of
retail
and
we're
also
adding
the
residential
component
to
that.
The
residential
is
really
key
to
this,
because
it
creates
a
level
of
activity
that
is
a
24-hour
type
of
activity.
B
So
it's
it's
better
for
safety
and
security
in
the
area
keeps
eyes
on
the
light
rail
station.
It
also
creates
more
of
a
socially
interactive
type
of
environment
as
part
of
the
plan
and
because
of
concerns
by
the
the
existing
neighborhoods
to
the
west,
the
Surry
downs
and
Bell
crest
neighborhoods.
We
looked
at
some
of
the
potential
impacts
of
what
development
in
this
area
could
mean.
So
a
couple
of
things
that
they
were
concerned
about
were
noise
from
the
freeway,
as
well
as
the
shadows
from
taller
buildings
on
the
site.
B
B
But
what
we're
doing
through
this
city
process
is
really
putting
in
place
the
regulations
that
will
say
what
they
can
and
cannot
do
in
terms
of
the
types
of
uses,
the
the
heights
of
the
buildings,
the
setbacks
of
the
buildings
from
the
streets,
the
types
of
pedestrian
areas
they'll
create
the
landscaping.
The
parking
all
of
those
kinds
of
things
that
go
into
our
development
regulations
and
we're
really
looking
for
the
residents
of
the
city
and
particularly
this
area,
to
be
involved
in
the
process
as
we're
working
with
the
Planning
Commission.
B
A
C
D
When
I
think
about
future
and
I'm
gonna
get
to
this
in
a
minute,
this
is
a
little
bit
of
my
graphic
if
you
will
for
the
way,
I
think
about
planning
and
growth
and
economic
development
and
all
the
things
that
my
department
here
at
the
city
does
I
thought.
I
might
just
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
on
myself.
So
this
to
me
sort
of
represent
the
three
facets
of
looking
at
a
community
and
community
growth
and
there's
physical
parts
of
planning.
That's
really
the
place
bubble.
D
So
when
you
think
about
where
land
uses
ought
to
go
and
where
the
parks
ought
to
go
and
where
the
open
spaces
should
be
and
where
the
housing
should
be
and
where
the
commercial
businesses
should
be.
That's
a
very
technical
discussion.
You
could
draw
things
on
a
map
and
try
to
figure
that
out
the
business
side
of
things.
Traditional
economic
development
was
about
finding
vacant
land
and
simply
trying
to
go
to
a
big
company
and
get
them
to
come
to
your
city
and
locate
so
think
of
the
big
Microsoft
style
campuses.
D
That's
how
economic
development
used
to
be
done.
What's
oftentimes
missing
in
communities?
Is
the
people
bubble
and
it's
not
uncommon
in
other
cities,
in
fact,
I'd
say
it's
the
preponderance
in
other
cities
around
the
country
that
you'll
simply
have
a
Planning
Department
and
an
Economic
Development
Department,
and
that's
it
and
there's
no
department
that
looks
at
the
people
side
of
things
and
I'd
like
to
keep
this
graphic
up.

A
Located
in
the
lobby
here
at
Bellevue,
City
Hall
is
