B
Okay,
welcome
to
the
bellevue
city
council,
regular
meeting
for
november
15.
2021
clerk:
do
you
can
you
do
the
roll
call?
Please.
C
D
E
F
Yes,
I
will
thank
you.
I
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag
of
the
united.
G
B
I
20Th
is
an
annual
vigil
that
takes
place
around
the
world
to
honor
and
remember
all
transgender
and
gender
non-conforming
community
members
lost
to
violence
in
the
current
year
and
whereas,
as
of
the
writing
of
this
proclamation,
at
least
45
transgender
people
in
the
united
states,
including
five
individuals
in
washington
or
the
pacific
northwest,
were
killed
by
violence.
So
far
this
year.
According
to
the
human
rights
campaign,
this
is
the
highest
number
of
fatalities
recorded
in
a
year
since
the
group
began
tracking
fatal
violence
against
transgender
individuals
in
2013.
B
G
Now,
therefore,
I,
on
behalf
of
lynn
robinson
mayor
of
the
city
of
bellevue
washington
and
on
behalf
of
its
city
council,
to
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
november
2021
as
native
american
heritage
month
in
bellevue,
and
urged
all
residents
to
reflect
on
the
contributions
and
traditions
of
native
american
communities
that
help
make
our
diversity.
Our
strength
as
we
embrace
the
future,
while
respecting
our
past.
B
H
Certainly
mayor,
whereas
during
national
veterans
and
family
military
families
month,
we
recognize
and
thank
those
who
serve
and
those
that
serve
alongside
them.
Their
families
and
caregivers
for
immeasurable
sacrifices
in
support
of
our
national
security
and
whereas
the
caregivers
and
families
of
those
serving
in
our
country's
armed
forces
deserve
credit
for
holding
down
the
home
front
during
deployments
coping
with
their
loved
one's
absences
and
helping
them
readjust
when
they
come
home.
H
And
whereas
thousands
of
servicemen
and
service
women
and
their
families
are
stationed
in
washington,
state
at
joint
base,
lewis,
mccord,
camp
murray
and
other
locations
making
contributions
to
their
communities
and
whereas
our
veterans
in
conflicts
around
the
world
are
able
to
perform
at
a
high
level
due
to
the
love
and
support
of
their
families
and
caregivers.
And
whereas
bellevue
residents
can
support
the
spouses
of
military
men
and
women,
often
at
a
disadvantage
of
their
careers.
Due
to
frequent
moves
through
contributions
to
the
united
united
service
organizations.
H
B
A
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
this
evening.
We
do
actually
have
a
full
list
of
10
speakers
pre-registered
for
oral
communications,
and
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone
that
we
do
have
a
public
hearing
later
this
evening.
So
your
comments,
if
they
are
related
to
the
budget,
need
to
come
under
the
public
hearing.
They
don't
appear
based
on
topics
that
people
signed
up
for
that
we
will
run
into
an
issue.
But
with
that
I
will
call
the
first
speaker
on
the
list.
A
J
My
name
is
ann
coughlin.
My
address
is
on
file.
I
am
speaking
tonight
on
behalf
of
northeast
bellevue.
The
great
neighborhoods
program
is
on
your
city
council
agenda
for
next
week.
We
would
like
to
share
some
key
points
for
you
to
keep
in
mind
as
you
review
the
northeast
and
northwest
bellevue
neighborhood
plans
in
preparation
for
that
meeting.
J
J
A
K
K
Thank
you,
mayor,
robinson,
deputy
mayor
new
house
and
council.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
this
evening.
My
name
is
michelle.
Nitummar
my
address
is
on
file
and
I'm
speaking
to
you
tonight
on
behalf
of
a
group
of
northeast
bellevue
residents,
as
we
have
shared
with
you
previously
with
you,
we
continue
to
be
concerned
about
how
the
great
neighborhoods
program
was
conducted
and
what
will
happen
with
the
program
going
forward.
K
As
you
read
the
draft
neighborhood
plans
over
the
coming
week,
we
would
like
you
to
also
consider
the
overall
process
and
substance
of
the
great
neighborhoods
program.
For
example,
some
key
topics
were
removed
from
great
neighborhoods
and
moved
to
a
city-wide
level,
including
tree
canopy
and
housing
topology.
K
While
a
discussion
action
plan
is
certainly
needed
at
the
city
level,
one
size
does
not
fit
all
and
the
neighborhoods
need
to
be
specifically
engaged
in
what
the
impact
will
be.
It's
unfortunate
that,
after
engaging
for
over
three
years
with
the
city
to
update
our
neighborhood
plan,
we
now
need
to
engage
on
the
same
topics
at
the
city
level,
with
no
clear
timeline
or
game
plan.
K
We
would
like
you
to
ask
we
would
ask.
We
would
like
to
ask
you
to
direct
staff
to
determine
and
communicate
a
specific
plan
and
timeline
to
address
these
topics
and
how
and
when
they
will
be
handled
at
the
neighborhood
level.
The
urgency
is
clear
as
tree
canopy
and
housing
are
two
very
high.
Priority
options
are
items
at
the
city
level.
K
K
K
We
need
to
ensure
that
all
the
work
that
has
been
accomplished
over
the
past
three
years
does
not
get
discarded.
However,
we
also
need
to
ensure
that
if
material
changes
are
made
go
to
great
neighborhoods
going
forward,
the
northeast
and
northwest
bellevue
plans
are
brought
in
line
with
those
changes.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
L
L
To
protect
and
enhance
this,
the
elimination
of
block
lengths
and
parameter
requirements
must
be
eliminated
to
keep
keep
us
from
doing
what
is
essential,
such
as
creating
above
ground,
convenient
parking,
weak
property
shares
its
concern,
as
well
as
the
east
side
housing
round
table.
This
issue,
among
others,
must
not
be
pushed
to
a
to
a
development
agreement
that
is
not
efficient,
flexible
and
provides
uncertainty.
L
The
staff
provided
new
opportunity
from
for
a
minimum,
far
of
2.5
to
3.5
for
commercial
or
residential
interest.
If
achieved
this
provides
to
an
exemption
to
other
amenity
requirements.
We
support
support
this
and
submit
that
the
elimination
of
ami
housing
for
the
bellevue
club
should
be
should
not
be
required.
L
We
intend
to
create
a
pedestrian
gate
gateway
and
enhance
the
significant
landscape
we
have
established.
There
is
no
doubt
for
about
the
need
to
support
housing.
The
club
hopes
to
accommodate
this
with
residential
interest
for
members
and
others.
Ami
housing
is
not
supportable
in
high-rise
development,
but
is
the
only
alternative
for
the
club.
L
Additional
housing
supports
this
interest
to
the
community.
The
club
should
be
exempt
from
ami
housing
or
fee
and
lieu,
given
the
council
previously
decided
upon
a
300
to
320
foot
height
limit.
Unfortunately,
we
must
create
about
grade
parking
and
because
of
this,
we
would
request
that
this
height
be
adjusted
for
the
club
to
320
to
340
feet.
This
would
eliminate
the
need
of
a
development
agreement
and
stop
the
merry-go-round
created
by
this
process
with
the
resolution
or
clarification
of
some
additional
outstanding
issues.
L
A
M
M
We
encourage
the
council
to
pass
the
code
provisions
for
the
east
main
luca
that
have
the
best
opportunity
for
residential
development,
affordable
housing
and
a
vibrant
tod
community.
For
our
part,
we
have
taken
a
data-driven
approach
and
have
concluded
that
several
luca
refinements
are
warranted
to
meet
these
goals.
M
First,
the
council
should
allow
unlimited
floor
plates
up
to
120
feet
for
residential
development.
This
will
allow
the
greatest
opportunity
for
housing,
production
and
the
construction
types
that
are
most
likely
to
pencil
now,
and
this
will
result
in
the
greatest
potential
for
residential
development
to
participate
in
the
amenity
system.
M
M
If
the
city
also
wants
to
provide
a
path
to
deed
property,
to
satisfy
the
fee
in
lieu
via
an
appraisal
and
development
agreement,
we
would
support
that
approach.
Third
block
sizes
should
be
more
flexible
in
bellred.
I
personally
represent
several
projects
with
street
issues
that
add
considerable
cost
time
and
development
risk.
This
should
be
avoided
to
the
greatest
extent
possible.
M
Last.
The
council
should
be
wary
of
a
minimum
residential
component.
We
absolutely
want
residential,
but
if
done
right,
the
code
itself
will
deliver
this
residential
development
and
we
favor
this
market-based
approach,
representing
developers
and
other
parts
of
the
city.
I've
seen
firsthand
how
a
minimum
housing
requirement
can
delay
development,
which
would
be
an
undesirable
outcome
here.
M
N
O
Now,
good
evening,
council
members,
my
name-
is
amy
liu,
representing
microsoft
and
here
tonight
to
speak
in
support
of
the
east
side,
housing,
roundtable's
recommendations
for
the
east,
main
land,
use
code,
amendment
and
rezone
work
on
tonight's
agenda.
First,
let
me
say
how
grateful
we
are
for
the
hard
work
staff
and
council
have
put
into
this
rezone.
It
has
been
quite
a
journey
to
get
this
close
to
the
finish
line,
and
we
applaud
your
dedication
to
getting
this
done
and
done
right.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
O
As
we
all
know,
the
east
main
site
is
extremely
important.
It's
with
its
60
acres
of
contiguous
redevelopable
land
located
across
from
the
new
light
rail
station.
This
is
a
rare
opportunity
that
we
really
must
maximize.
With
this
in
mind,
we
support
the
roundtable
recommendations
in
the
letter
sent
to
you
today.
The
code
changes
requested,
ensure
middle
income
and
affordable
housing,
are
prioritized
in
every
way
possible
and
that
maximizes
height
and
density
opportunities
again,
given
that
the
site
is
across
from
light
rail.
O
The
roundtable
recommendations
also
ensure
that
this
council
provides
the
policy
direction
now
for
major
code
elements
such
as
floor
plate,
size
amenity
system,
commercial,
feel,
etc,
and
not
letting
that
be
decided
by
a
future
council
as
part
of
a
development
agreement.
Thank
you
again
for
your
continued
leadership
and
your
deep
support
for
creating
new
housing
and
value.
P
P
All
of
our
requests,
increase
public
benefit
and
thus
should
be
included
in
the
base
luca
and
not
pushed
to
the
development
agreement
or
da
the
more
items
that
are
pushed
to
the
da
the
more
time.
Money
and
uncertainty
will
be
introduced
which
would
delay
all
transit
oriented
development,
including
the
delivery
of
affordable
housing.
P
Our
first
request
is
to
eliminate
the
block
length
and
perimeter
requirements
to
ensure
an
activated
and
safe
space.
The
current
requirements
would
prohibit
the
curve
street,
as
shown
in
our
vision,
make
above
ground
parking,
confusing
and
inefficient
and
potentially
undermine
the
success
of
ground
floor
retail.
P
P
Second,
it
is
much
easier
for
affordable
housing
to
be
built
if
it
is
built
as
the
project
progresses.
Instead
of
being
required
all
at
once,
therefore,
we
propose
splitting
any
minimum
residential
requirement
into
three
equal
parts
that
would
be
enforced
at
sixty
percent
eighty
percent
and
a
hundred
percent
completion
of
the
non-residential
buildings.
This
should
also
be
in
the
base
code,
as
this
will
ensure
development,
including
affordable
housing,
can
proceed.
P
P
P
Doing
it
later
will
mean
building
momentum
again
and
that
will
be
inefficient
and
consume
more
time.
Finally,
if
there's
too
much
burden
associated
with
the
da,
then
our
only
choice
will
be
to
live
with
the
base
code.
The
base
code
will
either
require
us
to
build
all
high-rise
towers
on
a
grid
system,
as
shown
in
site
plan,
one
of
our
letter
or
would
require
us
to
significantly
under
build
the
site
which
will
deliver
much
less
public
benefit
and
much
fewer
public
amenities.
Q
Q
Q
First,
we
want
to
thank
and
recognize
the
years
of
incredible
work
that
the
city,
specifically
the
planning
and
community
development
team,
has
accomplished
towards
implementing
council's
2035
vision
for
the
east
main
tod
district.
We
share
the
same
goals
and
recognition
that
the
east
main
rezone
is
a
once
in
a
lifetime
opportunity
that
we
must
ensure
our
efforts
yield
production
of
new
and
affordable
transit-oriented
housing.
Q
We
also
recognize
the
significant
outreach
from
the
city
to
seek
and
consider
stakeholder
input
on
that.
We
want
to
thank
council
and
staff
for
your
consideration
of
the
latest
recommendations
from
the
east
side.
Housing
roundtable,
as
we
have
stated
in
previous
public
comments.
Amazon
remains
steadfast
in
our
support
to
work
with
the
city
and
community
stakeholders
to
preserve
and
increase,
affordable
housing
units
on
the
east
side
and
in
the
puget
sound
region
through
our
housing
equity
fund.
Q
Q
A
Thank
you
miss
the
next
speaker
on
the
list
is
dick
thompson.
R
R
R
R
A
S
Good
evening
may
robinson
and
council
members,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
for
the
record.
I
am
patience
malaba
with
the
housing
development
consortium.
S
I
am
calling
tonight
to
edge
council
to
pass
the
c1
proposal
that
is
before
you
and
also
add
some
direction
for
staff
to
take
on.
After
this
meeting,
the
staff
has
worked
diligently
to
improve
the
c1
proposal
from
the
original
one
that
we
had
seen
and
we've
really
appreciated
the
extensive
stakeholder,
engagement
and
incorporation
of
feedback.
S
We
also
are
requesting
you,
as
you
saw
in
detail
through
the
comment
letter
that
we
submitted
for
you
to
direct
staff,
to
advance
a
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
and
rezone
in
2022,
targeting
qualifying
properties
to
increase
density,
close
to
arterials
and
also
in
areas
with
access
to
frequent
transit
and
some
historically
underzoned
areas
as
well.
This,
as
you
know,
would
provide
a
better
and
more
predictable
pathway
for
affordable
housing,
which
is
a
one
thing
that
is
desperately
needed
within
the
city
of
bellevue.
S
This
is
a
down
payment
on
a
purpose
of
opportunity,
for
more
people,
for
more
families
and
for
children
to
have
access
to
your
wonderful
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
bellevue.
I
didn't
have
enough
time
to
get
to
the
east
mainland
use
code
amendment,
but
you
have
had
so
much
from
many
of
our
partners
who
have
spoken
on
that.
Thank
you.
T
Thank
you,
honorable
mayor
deputy
mayor
council
members,
I
appreciate
the
ability
to
speak
with
you
this
evening.
I'm
pastor
mark
griffith
from
st
luke's
lutheran
church
in
bellevue.
My
congregation
has
long
been
a
part
of
the
community
conversation
regarding
how
we
address
poverty,
affordable
housing
and
providing
shelter
services.
T
As
a
representative
of
the
faith
communities,
I
know
several
congregations
and
organizations
that
would
like
to
be
a
part
of
the
affordable
housing
solution
as
it
is.
The
density
bonus
would
not
be
sufficient
to
finance
affordable
housing,
nor
would
it
achieve
meaningful
or
impactful
density.
The
density
bonus
needs
to
be
done
in
parallel
with
the
rezoning
process.
I
believe
in
order
to
be
successful,
I
appreciate
my
robinson
devin
de
mer
and
the
council's
commitment
to
affordable
housing
and
overall
community
health.
T
Should
we
have
that
this
would
be
the
right
tool,
I
believe,
to
get
the
faith
communities
more
robustly
engaged
in
solutions
for
affordable
housing
alone.
C1
does
not
provide
that
sufficient
density
for
faith
communities
to
efficiently
or
sustainably
partner,
with
community
development
and
housing
development
organizations
to
provide
places
for
affordable
housing.
I
would
respectfully
ask
the
staff
the
council
to
provide
the
staff
regard
further
directions
in
rezoning
in
conjunction
with
the
sit
with
the
c1
proposal.
T
I
also
would
respectfully
ask
that
the
council
direct
the
staff
to
work
with
religious
organizations
and
housing
nonprofits
to
optimize
rezones
on
qualifying
properties
and
properties
that
make
sense
giving
our
emerging
transportation
infrastructure.
I
appreciate
your
attention
to
this.
I
appreciate
you
hearing
our
comments
and
taking
all
of
this
into
consideration.
A
U
Gotcha
well,
then,
I
will
go
ahead
and
pass
on
my
comments
and
respect
your
process.
A
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Next,
do
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
calendar.
B
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
opposed
okay
great,
so
we
have
a
public
hearing
tonight.
Mr
miyaki,
would
you
like
to
introduce
us.
V
Sure,
thank
you
mayor
robinson
and
council
members.
The
public
hearing
schedule
for
this
evening
is
related
to
the
mid-biennium
budget.
Tonight's
budget
public
hearing
is
an
opportunity
for
residents
and
other
stakeholders
to
provide
input
on
the
proposed
midbinding
budget
update,
including
proposed
property
tax
levies,
other
taxes,
fees
and
raids.
V
I'm
following
the
public
hearing
staff
is
seeking
council
direction
to
either
bring
back
all
needed
legislation
to
adopt
the
full
binding
on
november
22nd
or
bring
back
the
property
tax
legislation
for
action
as
well
as
other
areas.
Amid
the
mid
by
him
discussion,
consideration
joining
us
this
evening
is
tony
paul,
the
director
of
our
finance
and
asset
management
group,
as
well
as
evan
phillips,
the
city
budget
manager,
but
then
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
tony
for
and
have
a
brief
staff
report
before
you
open
up
the
public
hearing.
X
Sorry
about
that
everybody
thank
you
city
manager,
miyaki,
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council
members.
Thank
you
for
having
us
here
this
evening.
Tonight
we
are
having
a
public
hearing
on
the
proposed
2122
mid
biennium
budget.
After
the
public
hearing
staff
seeks
direction
to
either
come
back
with
the
entire
mid
biennium
adoption
package
on
november
22nd
as
city
manager,
miyake
laid
out
or
provide
direction
to
staff
to
bring
back
property
tax
legislation
for
action,
as
well
as
any
other
areas
of
discussion
for
november
22nd.
X
X
So
as
a
reminder
here
is
the
calendar
for
the
mid
biennium.
On
monday
october,
18th
staff
provided
an
overview
of
the
calendar
and
on
the
following
monday
october,
25th
development
services
provided
an
overview
of
development
activities,
services
levels
and
the
annual
cost
of
service
study
council
directed
director
brennan
to
return
with
an
updated
fees
ordinance
at
the
adoption
of
the
mid
by
budget.
X
Last
week
on
november,
8th
council
was
presented
with
an
overview
of
the
mid-biennium
adjustments
and
the
general
fund
forecast
as
a
refresher.
The
mid-buy
is
mandated
by
state
law
and
serves
as
a
technical
update
for
the
second
year
of
the
biennium.
In
doing
so,
the
proposed
mid
biennium
includes
technical
adjustments
for
inflation,
updated
revenue
projections,
the
correction
of
errors
and
minor
adjustments
to
the
cip,
among
others,
of
a
similar
nature.
X
The
mid
biennium
also
adds
three
new
positions,
including
a
new
daytime
battalion
chief
in
support
of
fire
station
10,
as
well
as
two
positions
for
arch,
which
are
supported
by
arch
city
contributions.
The
other
updates
include
a
second
year
of
early
funding
opportunities
for
behavioral
health
in
a
housing
services
related
to
house
bill
1590..
X
The
proposed
midbiennium
also
includes
a
one
percent
property
tax
adjustment
that
was
contained
in
the
2122
adopted
budget,
as
well
as
the
three
million
dollar
sales
tax
swap
from
the
cip
into
the
general
fund.
This
latter
item
was
a
temporary
two-year
fix
only
so
with
that
being
said,
thank
you
mayor.
That
concludes
our
public
hearing
staff
report.
B
A
A
The
legally
required
budget
public
hearing
was
noticed
in
a
paper
of
general
circulation
on
both
november
1st
and
november
8th,
and
as
a
result
of
that
public
hearing
notice,
the
council
has
received
five
written
comments
from
citizens.
Each
of
those
comments
are
in
your
desk
packet
this
evening,
and
with
that
I
will
start
calling
the
first
name,
which
is
court
olson.
Y
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
for
letting
me
speak
so
maya,
deputy
mayor
and
council
member.
I
would
like
to
talk
to
you
about
what
is
my
most
pressing
concerns
these
days
and
it's
climate
change.
Y
We
know,
I
mean
you've
been
told
by
scientists
that
we
don't
have
much
time
left
to
avoid
the
climate
catastrophe
and
to
tell
you
the
truth,
I'm
scared,
I'm
really
scared
for
my
children
and
maybe
my
grandchildren.
If
my
children
never
decide
to
have
children,
we
owe
it
to
future
generations,
to
the
young
nation
alive
now
to
make
things
right
and
to
clean
up
a
mess,
because
the
future
depends
on
what
we
do
now
on
what
we're
going
to
decide
to
do.
We
don't
have
any
time
to
lose.
Y
Y
There's
not
that
much
time
to
achieve
this
goal,
and
at
the
moment
the
only
two
people
dedicated
to
environmental
stewardship
is
not
enough
to
do
all
the
actions
needed
to
achieve
those
goals.
So
I
am
respectfully
asking
this
council,
the
mayor
and
deputy
mayor
to
please
dedicate
additional
staff
to
work
on
climate
solutions.
Y
Local
people
for
climate
action
have
found
that
other
cities
that
are
addressing
those
goals
more
quickly
than
us
more
efficiently
have
seven
to
13
staff
dedicated
to
work
on
climate
solution.
We
need
to
have
more
budget
for
those,
because
this
is
the
emergency
we
are
facing.
We
are
all
facing
and
you
have
to
address
now,
because
we
don't
have
time
and
you
don't
have
any
option.
We
have
to
meet
those
commitments.
A
Z
Perfect
thanks
so
much
so.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight
on
the
city's
budget.
Well,
I
know
a
lot
of
people
find
budgets
really
dry
and
tedious,
I
think
of
them
as
moral
documents
right
they're
our
opportunity
to
literally
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is
and
make
the
financial
investments
right
to
create
the
kind
of
world
we
want
to
live
in
and
leave
for
our
kids
and
grandkids.
Z
And
to
that
end,
our
budget
priorities
should
reflect
our
collective
values
and
the
collective
challenges
we
face.
Bellevue
has
long
prided
itself
on
being
a
city
in
a
park,
a
city
designed
with
the
future
in
mind
right,
a
city
that
moves
and
adapts
while
retaining
the
best
of
what
makes
the
pacific
northwest
such
an
incredible
place
to
live
and
true
to
that
history
to
our
history.
It's
time
that
we
step
up
and
address
our
contributions
to
the
increasingly
urgent
climate
crisis.
Z
While
I
appreciate
the
budget
constraints
we
face,
I
ask
the
city
to
prioritize
both
the
reduction
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
enhancement
of
the
city's
environmental
resilience
by
preserving
and
increasing
archery
canopy
bellevue's
land
use
code
has
several
critical
deficiencies
and
loopholes
that
need
immediate
attention
like
bellevue,
both
kirkland
and
redmond
have
40
canopy
goals,
unlike
bellevue
kirkland
and
redmond
have
implemented
stronger
tree
codes
to
help
ensure
that
those
goals
are
attained
to
catch
up.
I
suggest
that
bellevue
adopt
changes
that
match
redmond's
updated
tree
code.
Z
Consistency
like
this
across
eastside
municipalities
would
benefit
the
environment,
developers
and
property
owners.
Specific
codes
should
be
changed
to
improve
tree
protection
right,
creating
stricter
designations
for
both
significant
and
landmark
trees,
requiring
the
removal
of
these
be
accompanied
by
a
permit
tree
retention
can
be
improved
by
creating
minimum
standards
for
tree
removal
within
single-family
residential
areas.
Z
Z
And,
of
course,
no
law
is
worth
anything
without
enforcement
tree
code,
communications,
education
permitting
and
compliance
monitoring
should
be
staffed
by
the
city
as
part
of
its
ongoing
services
portfolio.
Yes,
this
will
require
more
people.
However,
time
is
of
the
essence.
Given
the
pace
of
development
and
the
rapid
pace
of
climate
change,
2022
must
be
an
inflection
point
a
year
when
bellevue
fully
and
finally
walks
the
walk
that
so
many
of
its
residents
and
businesses,
both
support
and
they're
already
doing
on
their
own.
Z
A
G
AA
G
G
You
might
call
this
just
a
fluke
for
this
summer,
and
yet
recently
the
news
has
been
filled
with
similar
changes
around
the
world
to
prevent
such
changes.
Bellevue's
environmental
steward-ish
plan
esp
sets
a
progressive
goal
of
cutting
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
50
by
2030,
a
goal
determined
by
the
u.n
inter-governmental
committee
for
climate
change
ipcc,
or
face
catastrophic
consequences
to
our
environment
and
our
lives
that
we
can't
imagine.
G
G
Such
as
buildings
and
transportations
in
our
cities
to
be
realistic,
esp's
important
goals
need
at
least
three
more
staff
members.
I
conclude
my
second
story.
Just
in
the
30
seconds
here,
I
was
shopping
in
a
local
clothing
store
when
I
looked
over
in
the
young
adult
section
and
saw
a
green
t-shirt.
That
said
something
about
the
environment.
The
t-shirt
had
a
saying
on
it.
That
said
it's
up
to
us.
G
AB
All
right
good
evening,
council
members,
as
you
may
have
heard
the
non-profit
organization,
300
trees,
helped
to
plant
300
native
trees
on
the
sammamish
high
school
campus
this
weekend.
This
is
the
culmination
of
a
student-initiated
project
that
involved
many
different
organizations
and
took
over
a
year
to
fund
plan
and
implement.
AB
We
are
proud
of
these
visionary
and
persistent
students
and
the
efforts
of
dozens
of
volunteers
who
braved
wind
rain,
physical
exertion
and
copious
amounts
of
mud
to
bring
this
plan
to
fruition.
The
city's
permitting
department
also
deserves
recognition
for
streamlining
the
necessary
permits
and
helping
us
stay
under
budget.
AB
AB
This
would
begin
to
address
a
significant
shortfall
in
bellevue's
environmental
staffing
compared
to
many
cities
of
similar
population
and
budget
bellevue
needs
to
demonstrate
environmental
leadership,
because
bellevue
is
a
smart
city.
Bellevue
is
a
wealthy
city.
Bellevue
is
the
home
to
high-tech
companies
that
have
a
global
impact.
For
these
reasons,
many
cities
look
to
bellevue
for
inspiration
and
examples
of
what
they
should
be
doing
by
placing
a
low
priority
on
funding
environmental
stewardship.
AB
Bellevue
sets
a
negative
example
that
might
be
followed
by
other
cities
in
our
state
and
across
the
country.
The
conclusion
of
the
un
climate
conference
last
week
shows
why
cities
are
so
important
in
the
fight
against
climate
change.
The
glasgow
summit
produced
more
commitments
than
ever
before,
but
there
were
also
many
weasel
words
and
loopholes.
AB
We
cannot
rely
on
national
governments
alone
to
provide
all
the
answers.
Cities
need
to
lead
and
bellevue
needs
to
lead
those
cities.
Your
vote
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
planet
and
future
generations
has
never
been
more
pressing.
Please
meet
this
moment
with
courage
and
vision.
We
and
our
children
and
grandchildren
are
counting
on
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
AC
Good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor,
newinghouse
city,
council,
members
and
city
manager,
miaki,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
this
evening.
My
name
is
paul
bruno
and
I
live
in
bellevue
and
truly
appreciate
everything.
The
city
council
has
done
to
make
bellevue
a
wonderful
place
to
live.
AC
AC
However,
there
was
one
major
difference:
the
full-time
staff
at
each
of
those
cities
exceeded
bellevues
by
anywhere
from
three
to
five
times.
This
has
contributed
to
these
five
cities.
Success
successfully
executing
their
plans
and,
in
many
cases,
a
reduction
of
greenhouse
gases
upwards
to
over
26
over
a
10
to
18-year
period.
AC
Otherwise,
it
is
highly
unlikely
that
the
city
will
be
able
to
implement
measures
with
sufficient
urgency
and
diligence
to
cut
community-wide
emissions
50
by
20
30..
Let
me
please
add
right
now,
too,
that
the
existing
esp
staff,
jennifer,
ewing
and
anna
are
are
doing
a
tremendous
job,
but
they
need
much
more
help.
A
AD
AD
Dear
council
members,
I
want
to
speak
in
favor
of
a
400k
increase
in
the
budget
for
additional
staff
for
the
environmental
stewardship
plan.
I
am
bill,
westrey,
retired
aerospace,
engineer
and
resident
of
bellevue.
Several
years
of
my
work
in
aerospace
was
in
the
design
and
technology
of
spacecraft.
AD
The
earth
is
heated
by
your
solar
radiation
and
cooled
by
radiation
of
the
earth
to
deep
space
for
800
000
years
in
the
past,
these
have
been
balanced,
but
now
they
are
out
of
balance.
Cooling
has
been
restricted
by
the
50
increase
in
the
concentration
of
greenhouse
gases
in
the
atmosphere
from
fossil
fuel
emissions.
AD
AD
AD
Knowing
this
a
few
years
ago,
I
set
out
to
see
if
it
was
practical
or
even
possible
for
the
average
person
living
in
a
typical
residence
or
running
a
typical
business
to
ever
reduce
their
energy
load
to
zero.
It
turns
out
that
it
is.
I
have
been
able
to
get
to
zero
by
improving
the
efficiency
of
our
home,
replacing
our
gas
furnace
with
an
electric
heat
pump
going
to
an
electric
car
and
producing
the
electricity
with
solar
panels.
AD
AD
Lastly,
I
want
to
share
with
you
what
happens
to
a
person
who
has
made
this
transition
from
the
economic
side.
My
entire
energy
bill,
including
transportation,
is
7.90
a
month.
The
amount
I
pay
pse
for
the
privilege
of
being
connected
to
the
grid,
but
far
more
important,
is
the
hope
that
our
future
generations
will
survive.
AD
AA
AA
Thank
you
to
the
council
for
giving
us
the
opportunity,
as
residents,
to
express
our
hope
that
the
support
for
the
bellevue
stewardship
plan
will
be
voted
on
and
accepted
for
this
four
hundred
thousand
dollar
budget
item,
I'm
speaking
as
a
forty
year
resident
of
bellevue
and
what
I've
seen
as
far
as
the
landscape
of
the
old
growth,
evergreen,
trees,
maples
and
other
northwest
trees
being
totally
clear-cut,
is
gut-wrenching.
AA
I
think
it's
imperative
that
the
staffing
be
increased
for
develop
for
bellevue's,
2020
environmental
stewardship
plan
and
that
it
be
funded.
I
don't
think
there
is
any
other
more
important
funding
part
of
the
budget
than
our
own
city's
health
bellevue
is
a
high-tech
city.
It
is
just
incredible
that
we
are
at
this
stage
right
now
that
we're
questioning
whether
or
not
this
kind
of
funding
should
be
approved.
AA
I
just
can't
imagine
not
including
these
staffing
additional
staffing
positions
we
want
to
lead
and
we
need
to
get
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
cut
to
the
50
percent
expectation,
and
I'm
just
so
impressed
with
the
previous
testimonials
that
everyone
is
seems
to
be
so
much
involved
in
this.
I
just
think
it's
incumbent
upon
the
council
to
move
in
the
right
direction
and
do
the
right
thing.

good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newton
house
and
council
members.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
I
want
to
echo
previous
speakers
about
the
request
for
increasing
the
support
for
implementation
of
the
environmental
stewardship
plan.
AE
AE
I
also
want
to
say
thanks
for
related
efforts
that
don't
always
fall
completely
under
the
environmental
stewardship
plan.
Things
like
working
on
transit,
oriented
development
and
multimodal
transportation,
including
working
on
plans
for
east
trail,
the
staff
is
working
hard
and
has
accomplishments
to
show
for
it,
as
we
saw
in
jennifer
ewing's
presentation
on
october
18th.
AE
So
again,
I
want
to
echo
previous
requests
that
we
get
possibly
three
additional
staff
to
really
get
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
moving.
This
is
utterly
crucial
for
the
futures
of
our
young
people.

Okay,
thank
you
so
hi,
hopefully
you're
not
getting
too
bored
with
this
topic,
but
thank
you
city
leaders,
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
So
there
are
urgent
calls
from
a
critical
mass
of
bellevue
residents
to
fund
the
esp
starting
in
2022
to
the
level
that
ensures
bellevue
meets
its
2030
greenhouse
gas
reduction
commitments.
AF
In
addition,
residents
are
asking
for
urgent
action
on
updating
the
tree.
Land
use
codes
to
a
level
comparable
to
other
east
side
communities.
300
trees
requested
200
000
be
budgeted
in
2022
for
this
effort.
Last
week
the
mayor
requested
an
internal
estimate
for
this
project,
which
will
provide
a
better
estimate
of
the
budget
required
for
that
project.
AF
Also,
last
week,
several
council
members
voiced
reticence
about
adding
additional
spending
to
the
biennium
budget.
However,
residents
believe
these
two
projects
are
urgent
and
non-discretionary.
With
national
surveys
reporting.
Nearly
70
percent
of
americans
want
urgent
action
on
climate
council
must
assume
a
very
high
percentage
of
residents
are
in
favor
of
acting
now.
AF
So
how
can
the
funds
for
these
projects
be
found?
What
are
the
creative
ideas
to
make
them
happen?
Here?
Are
some
ideas
implementing
a
small
city-wide
emissions
remediation
use
fee,
similar
to
a
wastewater
fee
on
businesses
and
residents,
freeing
up
existing
budgets
by
using
our
arpa
funds
in
all
applicable
spending
categories
to
the
maximum
extent
possible,
slowing
down,
but
not
cancelling
investments
in
discretionary
projects
such
as
the
aquatic
center,
so
that
the
two
environmental
projects
can
be
scheduled
in
2022.
AF
A
N
N

So
the
ball
has
been
kicked
down
the
road
to
next
year's
meeting.
How
is
this
relevant
for
tonight's
budget?
Hearing
the
city
of
bellevue
also
has
failed
to
develop
detailed
plans
and
steps
to
meet
his
pledge
to
reduce
emissions
by
50
by
2030.
There
must
be
more
staff
and
funding
for
environmental
stewardship
plans
to
accomplish
this.
N
C
C
Funding
to
support
an
active,
strong
environmental
stewardship
program
is
needed.
We
that
live
in
the
beautiful,
well-managed
community
of
bellevue
need
to
acknowledge
that
we
are
a
significant
contributor
to
climate
change.
We
need
to
work
on
understanding
how
we
can
contribute
to
the
problem
and
what
we
can
do
about
it.
Increasing
the
funding
for
the
environmental
stewardship
program
can
provide
community
understanding
and
suggest
meaningful
action.
C

A
AG
Thanks
council
members
for
listening
to
all
these
speakers
and
again
to
me
tonight
due
to
my
engineering
and
training
and
professional
work,
I've,
overseen
the
design
and
construction
of
commercial
buildings
and
because
buildings
have
a
very
big
role
in
climate
change.
I've
been
motivated
to
study
climate
change
quite
extensively
for
almost
20
years
now,
as
I've
advanced
on
this
learning
curve,
I've
come
to
realize
that
climate
change
is
quite
complex
and
hard
to
get
your
arms
around
even
for
a
person
with
my
science-based
training
and
level
of
concern.
AG
AG
It's
not
because
they
aren't
smart,
it's
because
of
the
enormous
complexity
of
climate
change,
and
that
makes
it
hard
and
also
because
folks,
just
don't
have
the
time
to
deeply
research.
The
issues
consequently
99
plus
percent
of
the
population
can't
really
distinguish
between
the
truly
impactful
solutions,
the
modest
impact
ones
and
the
low
impact
solutions
that
get
discussed.
AG
As
leader
of
the
people
for
climate
action
coalition
of
city
chapters,
I
see
such
understandably
clouded
vision
and
play
in
many
cities
across
our
region.
Here
in
bellevue,
I
see
the
city's
two
hard-working
environmental
stewardship
staff
doing
their
best
to
implement
parts
of
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
that
was
adopted
last
december.
AG
AG
AG
AG
AH
AH
I'm
speaking
to
you
this
evening
regarding
the
needed
funding
increase
to
grow
the
institutional
knowledge
than
the
environmental
stewardship
team.
This
is
going
to
be
a
long-haul
journey
and
we
need
that
knowledge
embedded
in
the
organizations
and
at
the
city
level
in
order
to
take
long-term,
appropriate
actions.
AH
AH
City
budgets,
like
many
budgets,
reflect
the
values
and
priorities
of
the
city
and
the
council.
That
represents
the
residents,
and
I
can
only
take
away
that
addressing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
currently
is
not
a
priority
of
this
council.
I
respectfully
request
you
reconsider
that
position.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
G
G
A
E
Okay,
thank
you,
hello,
council
and
staff.
My
name
is
curtis
allred
13609
southeast
43rd
place,
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
tonight
about
the
budget.
I'll
be
brief,
I
just
want
to
voice
my
support
of
the
sentiments
expressed
by
many
speakers
tonight
regarding
climate
action.
E
The
disappointing
outcome
of
last
week's
climate
summit
in
glasgow.
Scotland
underscores
that
climate
action
must
happen
at
the
local
level,
we're
we're
facing
a
potential
climate
catastrophe.
Yet
there
is
little
discussion
about
it
in
the
budget
talks.
E
E
A
B
B
G
G
So
I
appreciate
how
hard
it
is
to
thread
a
needle.
I
will
say
that
you
know
it
wasn't
lost
on
me
that
on
my
facebook
today,
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
popped
up
as
a
one-year
anniversary
of
when
we
passed
that
plan
and
the
wedge
analysis.
That
shows
all
of
the
actions
we
have
to
take
in
order
to
get
to
a
50
reduction
by
2030
and
that's
both
municipal
as
well
as
city-wide.
G
So
if
I
think
about
the
amount
of
work
we
have
to
do
and
those
77
actions,
I
do
believe
that
we
need
to
provide
more
resources,
and
so
I
I
would
just
start
with
a
question
of
last
year
in
the
budget.
I
know
that
we
I
requested-
and
we
did
get
some
money
put
in
for
if
you
believe
what
we
were
calling
some
early
wins
on
the
esp,
and
that
was
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
each
year
for
two
years.
G
G
Has
that
already
been
spent,
and
can
some
of
that
be
reallocated
to
some
an
nfte
and
then
what
is
possible
in
related
to
the
arpa
funds,
where,
if
we
can
use
some
of
the
two
million
dollars
that
was
unallocated
this
year,
to
pay
for
some
of
our
other
costs
related
to
coved?
Can
that
money
be
made
available
for
us
to
fund
the
additional
people?
And
I
believe
that
in
when
we
talked
about
development
services,
I
also
brought
up
the
that.
G
Potentially,
if
we
were
to
look
at
three
positions,
one
of
them
may
be
one
that
would
be
in
the
development
services
and
permitting
so
they
can
work
with
the
very
people
that
are
looking
at
renovations
of
buildings
to
be
able
to
help
with
making
choices
that
help
in
that
environmental
stewardship
and
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
W
Numbers
on
this
is
tony
call
I'll
step
in
and
try
to
answer
the
bulk
of
your
questions
that
you
had
there.
The
easiest
one
is
the
arpa.
When
we
came
back
in
august,
council
authorized
the
spending
of
eight
of
the
ten
million
dollars,
leaving
the
two
on
the
table
that
you
mentioned,
and
yes,
we
will
be
coming
back,
probably
after
the
first
of
the
year
regarding
arpa
and
looking
at
all
the
needs
across
the
city
and
how
best
to
use
those
funds
as
council
directs.
W
So
we
are
anticipating
another
10
million
dollars
of
arpa
in
may
of
next
year.
That
is
substantially
one-time
money
and
would
need
to
be
spent.
I
believe
if
my
memory
is
correct
by
december
of
2026,
so
whatever
we
choose
needs
to
be
spent
by
december
of
2026.,
so
that
that
information
will
be
coming
back
to
council
after
the
first
of
the
year.
On
the
other
items
you
mentioned
on
the
tree,
canopy
I'm
going
to
have
to
send
that
one
over
to
deputy
city
manager
miss
behrens.
If
that
would
be
acceptable.
AI
All
right
so
with
respect
to
what's
possible
for
the
tree
canopy,
we
have
a
couple
things
going
on.
We
can
talk
to
community
development
and
come
back
on
money
that
was
added
to
the
budget
last
year,
whether
it's
been
spent
or
could
be
reallocated
in
part
to
looking
at
this.
So
we
put
that
on
the
parking
lot
and
bring
it
back.
The
other
part
of
that,
though,
is
prioritization
for
the
work,
so
with
respect
to
getting
particularly
code
and
policy
work
done.
AI
That
is
a
specialty
we're
currently
having
a
hard
time
filling
permanent
positions
with
already
so
I
don't
want
to
oversell
our
ability
to
recruit
and
get
people
on
on
board
and
then
with
in
our
existing
staff.
We
would
need
to
prioritize
that
tree
work
come
back
to
the
council
with
the
discussion
of
the
other
code
and
policy
work
that
is
on
the
list
based
on
other
council
priorities
and
set
at
the
appropriate
sequencing
for
that
work.
G
Okay,
so
is
one
of
the
items
on
the
table
here,
having
a
discussion
with
my
colleagues
about
whether
we
could
allocate
the
500
1
000
of
the
2
million
in
arpa
for
and
have
it
be
a
limited
term
limited
tournament
employees
so
that
we
can
get
started
on
some
of
this
work,
because
I
also
believe
that,
with
the
infrastructure,
investment
jobs
act
that
there's
going
to
be
potentially
fun
and
also
partnerships
out
in
the
community
and
businesses
that
there's
potentially
money
that
having
more
staff
would
actually
help
us
get
access
to
grants
and
partnerships.
G
V
You
need
to
talk
to
the
the
rest
of
the
council
members
if
they're
willing
to
entertain
that
proposal.
Okay,.
B
Yeah,
if
we
could
just
direct
our
comments
to
janice's
question
here
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
topic
within
this
section,
is
there
anybody
who
would
like
to
make
a
comment
or
question
to
what
janice
is
asking?
B
I
guess
you
know,
I
think
what
I'm
wondering
is
is
this.
The
time
is,
is
tonight
the
time
to
do
this,
or
do
we
need
to
to
make
time
on
our
schedule
either
before
the
end
of
the
year
or
at
the
beginning
of
next
year
to
see
what
we
have
in
terms
of
funding
to
finance,
something
like
adding
more
and
more
staff
and
looking
at
the
tree
codes.
So
if
there
is
a
some
guidance
from
staff
on
that,
that
would
be
helpful.
V
B
Yeah,
I
I
am,
and
I
see
if
you
can
just
nod
your
head
if
you're
interested,
I
know
council,
member
yeah,
I
see
at
least
four
and
maybe
more
so.
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
to
bring
that
back
at
another
meeting.
V
We
could
just
certainly
bring
back
some
of
those
ideas
with
them.
Further.
Some
research
as
deputy
city
manager,
behrens
mentioned,
would
have
to
be
looked
at
and
we
could
bring
back
that
research.
F
Yeah,
I
think
this
is
again
it's
one
of
these
things
when
we
ask
our
people
in
the
community
about
issues
or
read
on
next
door
or
whatever
this.
Both
of
these
issues
are
things
that
have
really
been
talked
about,
and
it
was
impressive
to
have
the
number
of
people
coming
down
and
talking,
and
if
this
had
happened
for
another
some
other
things,
I
could
think
think
about.
Very
everybody
would
be
saying:
hey
yeah.
F
Let's
do
this,
let's
give
200
to
a
thousand
to
do
this
or
that
or
check
out
a
building
or
something
like
that,
and
I
know
that
overall,
the
concept
is
that
this
is
a
buy
budget.
That
is
really
looking
at
things
that
have
changed
or
whatever,
on
not
a
generally
coming
up
with
new
proposals
for
funding.
But
it
seems
to
me
the
budget
is,
is
pretty
big
and
we've
been
talking
about
climate
change?
We've
been
in
way
before.
F
Actually
this
particular
focus
has
come
up,
we've
been
talking
about
the
trees
and
the
tree
interests,
or
the
people
being
upset
about
the
tree
as
being
cut
down
again
on
next
door
and
other
media
is,
is
pretty
high.
There's
a
lot
of
concern
going
on
and
we
talk
about
being
you
know
a
city
in
a
park.
We
love
our
trees,
we
love,
you
know
we
want
to
do
the
climate.
F
We
want
to
have
our
be
able
to
swim
in
the
lake
and
all
these
things
and
when
a
group
comes
forward
and
says
in
a
very,
very
modest
amount
of
money
compared
to
the
millions
of
our
budget.
F
F
I
think
we
could
find
anywhere
from
a
hundred
thousand
to
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
do
this
to
get
started,
and
I
think
that
would
show
something
to
our
community
that
we
do
respond
to
them
and
it
would
actually
take
some
significant
action
going
forward
on
a
very,
very,
very,
very
important
issue
that
we
continually
say
we
believe
in.
But
I'd
like
to
see
us
put,
you
know
kind
of
a
little
more
money
where
our
mouth
is
in
this.
To
just
say
it
in
a
you
know,
straight
term.
F
I
think
we
can
do
it
and
I
think
it
would
show
a
lot
of
I
think,
commitment
to
the
community
to
take
a
step
in
this,
and
I
would
certainly
support
that.
I'm
sure
we
can
find
it.
We've
done
it
in
the
past
for
all
kinds
of
issues.
B
Yeah,
I
guess
the
unique
thing
is
that
we're
coming
off
of
a
coveted
budget,
but
I
agree
with
you:
councilmember
robertson,.
AJ
W
Sure
to
the
general
fund,
it
raises
approximately
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
plus
a
little
bit
more
goes
to
the
cips,
maybe
120-ish
thousand
dollars
give
or
take
for
the
fire
levy
and
the
transportation
levy.
So
there's
two
pieces
that
go
to
the
cip
and
there's
about
500
000
that
comes
to
the
general
fund.
That's.
AJ
Higher
than
it
used
to
be,
it
used
to
be
350.,
okay,
so
so
what
we're
talking
about
is
about
a
one
percent
property
tax
increase
to
pay
ongoing
staff
costs.
I
looked
up
while
councilmembers
all
was
talking
about
what
we
did
in
the
bud.
The
last
year
was
the
budget.
We
have
adopted
a
two-year
budget
and
we
added
300
000
to
it
for
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative,
100
000
of
each
year
for
early
wins
and
50
000
each
year
for
the
enhanced
stakeholder
outreach.
AJ
So
I
think
that
we've
really
shown
that
we
value
this.
We've
shown
that
we
value
this
whole
progress
by
funding
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative
having
it
come
back
regularly,
having
metrics
and
tracking
things,
and
really
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
let
people
know
the
opportunities
that
they
have
for
reducing
their
footprint
in
many
many
ways,
whether
it's
waste
or
carbon
etc.
AJ
So,
but
this
is
a
mid
by
budget.
So
this
is
anything
we
do
this
year
to
increase
is
going
to
be
that
much
bigger
of
a
hole
that
we
need
to
address
next
year.
So
my
request
for
any
council
member
that
wants
to
add
something
to
the
budget
is
to
find
specifically
where
it's
going
to
be
funded,
whether
it's
a
new
revenue
source
or
whether
it's
a
cut,
because
that's
the
only
way
we
can
have
honesty
in
budgeting
is,
if
you're
going
to
come
up
with
something
that
you
want
to
spend
more
money
on.
AJ
You
got
to
find
a
way
to
pay
for
it
and
I'm
willing
to
look
at
cuts,
I'm
willing
to
look
at
sources,
but
if
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
hiring
employees,
we
should
not
use
one-time
money
like
arpa,
because
that's
an
ongoing
expense
and,
as
we
all
know,
it's
very
except
for
certain
departments
where
it's
boom
and
bust
cycles
of
employment
like
permit
tax,
the
staff
doesn't
really
get
any
smaller.
I
mean
we
find
ways
to
use
people.
AJ
We
probably
are
as
big
as
we
are,
we're
probably
a
little
light
staffed
in
many
many
departments,
particularly
in
planning
right
now.
So,
if
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
adding
employees,
we
need
to
find
a
revenue
source
to
pay
for
it
or
cut
to
sustain
it.
So
that's
my
request
for
any
colleague
that
wants
to
bring
forward
a
proposal.
Secondly,
on
the
tree
protection,
I
think
that
definitely,
that
should
be
something
we
add
to
our
planning
work
plan.
AJ
I
don't
know
that
we
need
to
add
something
to
the
budget
for
it,
because
we
can
bring
forward
the
planning
work
plan
and
I've
talked
to
staff.
AJ
If
we
could
bring
that
forward
in
january,
we
can
look
at
what
what
resources
we
have,
what
work
we
have
and
council
can
decide
how
we
want
to
prioritize
things,
how
we
want
to
spend
things
if
we
need
more
money
at
that
point,
we
can
you
know
if,
especially
if
it's
one-time
money,
we
could
potentially
look
at
some
of
the
arpa
money,
but
even
if
we
wanted
to
say
hire
outside
consultants
for
all
of
it,
you
still
need
internal
staff
to
manage,
and
I
don't
know
that
we
have
the
bandwidth
to
do
that
unless
we
look
at
the
planning,
work
plan
and
re-prioritize,
and
I'm
absolutely
willing
to
do
that.
AJ
I
think
we
should
look
at
the
tree
canopy
issue
as
part
of
the
planning
work
plan
at
the
very
start.
First,
first
month
of
2022,
I
would
absolutely
support
doing
that.
So
that's
my
comment
on
the
budget
as
it
is
right
now.
I
feel
like
the
document
we
have
right
now.
We
all
talked
about
how
wonderful
the
budget
was
last
year.
It's
a
moral
document.
It
shows
our
values,
it
shows
who
we
are
and
it
was
unif.
I
think
we
had
a
7-0
vote
on
the
budget
and
now
trying
to
change
it.
AJ
We
just
need
to
find
ways
to
what
are
you
going
to
cut
or
what
are
you
going
to
add,
or
what
are
you
going
to
what
revenue
you're
going
to
add
to
do
it,
because
that's
where
we
need
we're
going
to
have
a
bigger
hole,
we're
going
to
have
a
big
hole
next
year
to
dig
out
of?
AJ
I
don't
want
to
make
it
worse
and
over
promise,
something
that
we
only
have
to
come
back
around
next
year
and
cut
because
we're
going
to
have
reduced
ability
to
pay
for
the
things
that
this
city
values
and
that
runs
the
gamut
from
the
environmental,
to
the
planning
to
the
parks
to
recreation,
to
public
safety
to
roads.
So
we
need
to
figure
it
out
and
I
just
don't
want
to
make
that
hole
bigger
on
a
technical
midby
here.
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
I'm
writing
down
what
you're
saying
yes,
who
else
would
like
to
have
a
comment?
Is
that
councilmember
barksdale
go
ahead.
I
Yeah
just
wanted
to
note
my
support
for
the
exploring
the
tree
canopy
issue,
but
also
you
know,
I
think,
if
I
heard
councilmember
zane's
ask,
I
think
she's
asking
for
figuring
out
where
either
those
cuts
or
news
sources
could
come
from.
I
know
she
proposed
a
couple
of
ideas
around,
for
example,
development
services
fees,
for
example.
I
I
guess
from
a
staffing
perspective,
one
one
going
through
this
myself
at
work,
I
mean
when
you
have
limited
staff
that
is
working
toward
implementing
a
robust
plan
like
we
have
in
our
environmental
stewardship
plan,
staff
can
burn
out,
and
I
think
you
know
we
really
have
to
also
think
about
the
workload
that
jennifer
and
other
and-
and
I
think
it's
hannah
are
taking
on
and
and
what
that
looks
like
over
time
I
mean
what
we
don't
want
is
is
for
them
to
leave,
how
to
burn
out
and
because
they
don't
feel
like
they
have
the
support
financially.
B
So
here's
what
I
have
down
that
we
have
some
interest
in
reviewing
the
work
plan,
review
of
the
planning
work
plan
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022
and
consider
prioritizing
tree
codes
and
asking
staff
to
analyze
cost
of
increased
staff
for
the
environmental
stewardship
program
and
where
that
money
could
come
from.
B
D
Thank
you.
Madame.
I
strongly
support
what
you
know.
We've
heard
from
the
people.
I
think
we've
got
the
sense
of
that
for
quite
a
while
we've
heard
from
the
community
we
heard
from
the
young
people
and
we
realized
you
know
the
climate
change
is
real.
What's
happening
the
last
few
years
I
mean
you
know
we
are
seeing
the
world
the
global
response
and
reaction.
That
means
inevitable
from
the
growth
we're
looking
at
you
know
economically
and
otherwise
the
demand
we
have
on
on
ourselves
on
goods
and
services.
D
So
it's
inevitable.
So
I
think
really.
This
is
something
that
we
need
to
pay
the
attention
to.
You
know
in
the
past.
There's
some
skepticism
well,
but
it's
not
happening
a
thousand
years
and
maybe
it
doesn't
affect
us,
but
I
think
we
need
to
look
long
term
and
who
knows
when,
but
it's
responsible
for
us,
so
I
really
sympathize.
I
I
believe
I
strongly
support
that.
The
question
is,
I
think,
councilman
robertson
said
it
all.
D
You
know
for
me
it's
when
and
how
do
we
make
it
happen
for
what
we
think
it's
important
and
people
who
talk
tonight?
They
they
ask
us
what
is
the
priority?
You
know,
I
think
that's
what
the
council
is
always
facing
every
day.
Every
time
we
look
at
something,
especially
during
budget
time,
we're
looking
at
priorities.
D
So,
let's
be
honest
with
ourselves
and
let's
face
the
reality,
the
facts-
and
you
know
last
week,
tony
carl,
director
of
budget,
you
mentioned
we're
doing
it
by
mid
by
the
two
things
we
can
do.
One
is
you
know
three
things
status
code.
We
have
a
good
budget.
We
are
basically
moving
forward
based
on
all
the
priority
we
set.
D
You
know
a
year
ago,
so
if
you,
if
we
were
on
the
same
page,
the
same
thing,
then
we
just
move
forward,
but
if
we
want
to
make
a
changes
in
priority,
as
we
are
asked
to
do-
and
I
really
personally
yes,
it's
very
appealing
compelling
that
you
know.
Perhaps
I
personally
want
to
make
some
changes,
but
it's
something
I
cannot
make
changes
unless
we
take
the
other
two
alternatives,
add
money
or
cut
programs
or
shift
priorities.
D
Shipping
party
means
we
have
to
take
something
off
something
we
are
committed
to
do
and
that's
the
task
facing
us
and
now
we
need.
We
haven't
done
that
yet
and
if
we
do
say
you
want
to
do
that,
we
got
to
go
through
that
process.
Okay,
some
may
be
easy.
Some
may
be
hard.
You
know
I've
always
you
know
voted
against
the
property
tax
increase,
the
one
person
because
I
said,
prove
to
me:
what
are
you
buying
for
this
money?
We
are
collecting
from
the
public
all
right.
D
If
I
have
something
on
the
buy,
for
example,
environmental
initiatives.
I'd
be
more
than
willing
to
approve
that,
because
it's
a
commitment
we're
going
to
get
some
revenue,
we
agreed
to
do
it
all.
We
don't
want
to
collect
anymore,
then
what
do
we
cut?
I
haven't
heard
anything
okay.
We
need
to
be
thinking
about
that
when
you're
looking
at
what
are
we
going
to
cut?
So
I
would
like
to
have
that
answer.
D
B
H
Doing
the
great
work
on
the
budget,
it's
it's
a
great
work
and
needs
to
be
needs
to
be
said
in
terms
of
the
topic
at
hand
here
and
I'm
all
for
looking
at
the
the
the
tree
protection
code.
I
think
that's
something
that
is
obviously
of
of
concern
and
of
importance
to
our
community,
and
I
thank
all
was
it
14,
15
people
this
evening
that
that
spoke?
H
H
If
we
cut
something
or
if
we're
able
to
find
as
councilmember
stokes
at
100
grand
you
know,
perhaps
to
hire
a
consultant
to
look
at
the
tree
protection
code,
similar
to
what,
as
was
mentioned
at
the
city
of
redmond
or
the
city
of
kirkland
or
another
city,
that
made
sense,
that's
fine,
but
unless
we
have
like
that
renewable
revenue
source
to
actually
hire
staff
full-time
and
not
just
a
one-time
expenditure,
I'd
have
you
know
bigger
concerns
about
it.
Plus
I
want
to.
H
H
So
you
know
if,
if
you
know
that
50
grand
is
not
going
towards
that
program
or
it's
not
being
an
effective
use
of
of
that
money
or
we
need
to
change
that
program
up,
you
know
I'd
be
open
to
having
that
that
conversation
as
well,
but
again,
part
of
the
goal
of
that
was
to
get
experts
on
board
experts
that
we
have
in
our
community.
H
Like
the
you
know,
people
for
for
climate
action
to
help
with
the
implementation
that
to
help
getting
the
word
out
to
help
with
programs,
so
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that
we're
fully
using
that
program
as
well.
Now
again,
I
understand
gender
ewing
does
a
fantastic
job
but
she's
one
person
and,
and
maybe
long
term
like
to
look
at
that.
But
you
know
what
seared,
in
my
mind,
is
the
graph
that
tony
has
showed
us
time
and
time
again
where
we
have
expenditures
going
like
this
and
revenue
starting
to
dip
like
that.
H
So
I
think
we
need
to
keep
that
top
of
mind
going
forward.
But
again,
I'm
very
concerned
about
our
environment
very
concerned
about
our
tree
canopy
and
again,
if
we
can
carve
off
a
little
bit
just
to
get
it
going
at
least
hire
a
consultant
at
a
minimum
price
or
around
100k
just
to
get
that
analysis
done,
get
it
into
our
code.
I'd
be
very
much
forward
of
that
moving
forward.
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
so
I'm
going
to
reiterate
kind
of
the
ask
outside
of
whether
or
not
we
pass.
This
budget
proposal
is
to
review
planning
the
work
plan
in
the
first
quarter,
2022
and
consider
prioritizing
treat
codes
and
review
our
other
esp
priorities
and
ask
staff
to
analyze
the
cost
of
increased
staff
for
esp
and
where
that
money
could
come
from,
and
you
just
heard
deputy
mayor
say
that
he
would
be
willing
for
you
to
look
at
that.
50
000
a
year
item.
B
So
is
that
consistent
with
what
every
council
would
like
staff
to
bring
back
next
year,
I'm
seeing
some
head
nods
there?
Okay,
so
the
question
at
hand
now
is
whether
or
not
we
are
going
to
give
direction
to
bring
back
the
biennium
budget,
which
includes
a
previously
determined
property
tax,
increase
that
our
council
already
voted
for
just
for
full
transparency.
W
Certainly,
the
21
22
council
adopted
budget
included
a
one
percent
statutorily
available
property
tax
adjustment,
both
in
2021
and
2022
each
year.
Property
tax
needs
to
be
set
by
the
council,
and
so
the
property
tax
in
the
mid
biennium
includes
that
one
percent
property
tax
adjustment.
It
equates
to
about
nine
dollars
for
a
one
million
dollar
home
again,
council
can
only
increase
the
property
tax
for
the
sliver.
That
is
the
city
of
bellevue.
So
is
that
me,
or
is
that
yep?
That's
perfect.
B
So
is:
is
there
a
motion,
deputy
mayor.
AJ
AJ
V
V
Yeah,
I
think
what
we
would
propose
and
correctly
come
wrong
director
tony
call
is
that
we
bring
them
together
next
week.
B
It's
seven:
okay,
748
we're
gonna,
take
a
break,
we'll
come
back
at
eight,
but
we'll.
If
you
want
to
ask
a
quick
question:
go
ahead.
D
D
I
I
you
know,
I
always
have
a
question
regarding
property
tax
and
my
question
is
still:
what
can
we
what
we're
getting
for
this
one
percent,
and
what
can
we
cut
not
to
raise
one
percent?
I
still
haven't
got
my
answer.
So
if
we're
gonna
have
a
specific
like
this
environmental
stewardship,
if
we
can
do
that,
you
know
I'll
be
happy
to
support
it.
But
if
we
cannot,
you
know,
maybe
I
won't
so
that's
a
separate
question.
M
B
B
V
Tonight's
staff
is
seeking
council
direction
on
the
preparation
of
enormous
at
a
future
council
meeting
for
adoption
joining
us
this
evening
are
mike
brennan,
director,
tristan
tannis,
consulting
attorney
and
christina
gallant,
senior
planner,
all
three
from
the
development
service
department.
They
also
are
joined
by
chairman
kushin
of
the
planning
commission.
With
that,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
mike
to
kick
off
the
presentation.
AL
Thank
you,
mr
miyaki,
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newton
house
and
council
members.
As
mr
mayaki
mentioned,
this
is
a
proposed
land
use
code
amendment
that
would
establish
a
50
density
bonus
for
residential
properties
owned
by
non-profit
or
religious
organizations.
AL
As
you
heard
from
speakers
this
this
evening,
it's
really
the
first
part
of
a
two
two
step
process
that
we're
going
through
to
implement
to
fully
implement
the
c1
action
from
the
council's
2017,
affordable
housing
strategy
and
we'll
describe
that
process
a
bit
later
in
the
presentation
this
evening
so
I'll
hand
it
over
to
trisnatanis
who
will
continue
the
staff
presentation
and
get
into
the
details
of
the
proposal
prisoner.
AM
All
right,
thank
you
mike
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
union
house
and
council
members
for
direction
tonight.
We
are
asking
council
to
direct
staff
to
prepare
this
luca
ordinance
for
final
action
at
a
future
meeting.
Next
slide,
please
for
our
agenda.
We
will
be
giving
a
brief
recall
of
the
objectives
of
this
proposed
luca,
including
how
this
luca
fits
in
in
the
overall
work
plan
pass
and
future
work
for
action.
C1,
as
mike
just
mentioned,
this
action
c1
calls
for
increasing,
affordable
housing
development
on
certain
eligible
properties.
AM
We
do
have
planning
commission
share
malaccuchen
here.
Thank
you,
chair
for
being
with
us
this
evening,
and
we
will
turn
to
the
chair
to
present
the
planning
commission
recommendation
here
shortly.
We
will
be
going
through
the
components
of
the
proposed
luca
after
the
chair
speaks
and
then
end
with
a
recap
of
the
public
engagement
and
overall
process
for
this
luca
next
slide.
Please,
there
are
three
objectives
for
this
luca.
The
first
objective
is
to
achieve
consistency
with
rcw35a
63300.
AM
This
is
a
new
section
in
the
rcw
enacted
in
2019.
This
rcw
provides
that
cities
like
bellevue
must
give
a
density
bonus
for
affordable
housing
development.
This
bonus
must
be
available
to
any
property
in
single
family
or
multi-family
districts
when
that
property
is
owned
or
controlled
by
a
religious
organization.
AM
Currently,
the
land
use
code
only
offers
a
density
bonus
for
up
to
15
to
encourage
construction
of
affordable
housing,
and
this
is
only
for
new
multi-family
residential
development
and
there's
no
bonus
offered
in
single
family
districts
as
you'll
hear
more
about
this
later.
In
our
presentation,
this
proposed
luca
provides
for
a
greater
and
more
expansive
bonus
in
all
districts,
except
in
the
city's
growth
areas,
and
then
me
does
meet
this
requirement
of
the
rcw
so
to
next
slide,
please
to
explain
the
other
objectives
in
more
detail.
AN
Emile,
thank
you.
Trisna
I'd
like
to
take
a
moment
to
highlight
the
importance
of
this
work
being
discussed
tonight
in
context
of
the
city's
affordable
housing
strategy
that
council
adopted
in
2017
staff
has
been
hard
at
work
over
the
past
four
years
to
move
forward
with
implementation
of
a
range
of
actions
in
the
strategy
with
positive
results
of
the
21
actions
in
the
strategy.
One
of
them
focuses
specifically
on
increasing
development
potential
on
suitable
lands
owned
by
public
agencies,
faith-based
owners
or
non-profits
it's
under
the
grouping
of
actions
to
create
new,
affordable
housing.
AN
This
action
was
anticipated
in
the
2017
strategy
to
produce
a
range
of
200
to
1000,
affordable
units.
As
with
other
actions,
staff
will
track
the
productivity
of
this
action.
As
we
report
back
to
council
on
progress
next
slide,
please,
the
city's
comprehensive
plan
provides
a
good
policy
backing
for
our
work
on
c1
that
you'll
be
hearing
about
tonight
in
december
2020.
Following
review
and
recommendation
by
the
city's
planning
commission
council
adopted
new
policies
that
provided
specific
direction
for
c1.
AN
These
policies
outlined
the
work
to
implement
a
new
bonus
and
incentive
program
for
qualifying
properties
which
are
located
throughout
the
city
in
a
variety
of
zoning
districts.
Specific
discussion
in
the
comprehensive
plan
includes
direction
to
respond
to
the
different
conditions
of
multi-family
and
single-family
land
use
districts
as
well.
The
comprehensive
plan
goes
on
to
discuss
creating
flexibility
and
development
standards
needed
to
achieve
the
affordable
housing
next
slide.
Please
I'd
like
to
review
the
timeline
for
our
work
on
c1
council
began
discussion
of
c1
concepts
back
in
2018.
AN
shortly
thereafter,
new
state
regulations,
as
trisna
described,
were
enacted
in
2019
to
allow
for
additional
density
on
faith-based
properties.
Specifically,
the
light
blue
boxes
show
the
span
of
our
current
effort
with
the
council,
planning,
commission
and
stakeholders
based
on
the
council
direction.
Staff
worked
with
the
planning
commission
in
2020
to
add
the
new
policies
that
I
just
described
to
you
in
2020.
Outreach
also
began
on
the
c1
land
use
code,
as
well
as
the
planning
commission's
work
on
code
provisions
for
the
density
bonus
in
2021..
AN
The
orange
box
indicates
the
phase
two
work
that
mr
brennan
alluded
to
on
c1
in
early
2022
staff
would
like
to
return
to
council
to
initiate
work
on
potential
map
amendments
to
a
subset
of
the
public,
nonprofit
and
faith-based
properties
in
the
city.
This
would
have
the
effect
of
changing
their
underlying
comp
plan,
designation
and
ultimately
zone
their
zoning.
AK
AK
Some
commenters
express
concerns
that
the
50
bonus
would
not
be
sufficient
to
make
affordable
housing
projects
feasible
in
lower
density
land
use
districts.
They
suggested
that
the
density
bonus
should
be
large
enough
to
replace
the
need
for
a
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
and
reason
for
affordable
housing
developments.
AK
While
the
planning
commission
heard
that
this
new
car
does
not
preclude
future
actions
to
increase
density,
the
commission
was
particularly
interested
in
a
permitting
path
for
bold
density
increase
for
eligible
faith-owned
properties,
currently
located
in
single
family
land
use
districts,
but
with
characteristics
that
could
support
greater
density,
such
as
access
transit
and
nearness
to
existing
higher
density
development.
AK
During
the
final
si
session,
staff
presented
a
super
bonus
option
which
could
potentially
offer
larger
bonus
for
certain
properties
through
a
conditional
use
per
process,
while
the
intent
of
the
super
bonus
was
consistent
with
what
we
asked
and
what
our
goals
are.
The
planning
commission
nonetheless
determined
that
the
time
consuming
an
uncertain
conditional
use
permit
process
would
present
an
excessive
barrier
to
development.
AK
AO
Thank
you
chairmalikuchan,
before
jumping
into
the
content
of
the
luca
and
next
slide,
please.
We
did
want
to
begin
by
acknowledging
that
this
is
an
unusual
situation
that
the
council
and
staff
have
arrived
at
different
interpretations
of
the
decision
criteria
in
this
case,
and
we
wanted
to
begin
with
some
context
as
to
why
staff
do
still
recommend
this
luca.
AO
Throughout
this
process,
we
benefited
from
really
robust
engagement
with
the
planning,
commission
and
stakeholders
who
shared
some
important,
well-thought
concerns
really
illustrating
the
practical
limits
associated
with
this
specific
land
use
tool
and
in
order
to
fully
address
those
concerns,
we
do
believe
a
second
phase
of
work
focused
on
a
selective
map.
Amendment
is
warranted.
AO
We
do
see
it
as
providing
significant
uplift
to
properties
that
are
already
zoned
for
multi-family
and
finally,
we
still
would
be
providing
a
bonus
for
those
single-family
properties
that
lack
characteristics
that
could
support
an
upzone
well
so
phase
two.
We
then
have
this
specific
opportunity
to
focus
solely
on
those
properties
with
untapped
potential
and
then
move
forward
with
this
luca
as
complementary
to
support
future
changes
next
slide,
but
now
onto
the
luca
itself.
Our
first
topic
for
tonight
are
the
eligibility
criteria.
AO
This
would
projects
would
have
to
include
all
housing
units
must
be
affordable,
housing
permanently
affordable
at
80,
ami
or
below
eligibility
varies
by
land
use
district
for
single
family.
The
land
must
be
owned
by
a
religious
organization
in
multi-family
districts
that
expands
to
include
religious
organizations
non-profits
or
public
agencies.
AO
It's
not
available
at
downtown
eastgate
or
belred,
as
we
do
have
significant,
affordable
housing
density
incentives
tailored
to
those
districts.
Staff
did
an
analysis
earlier
this
year
to
identify
eligible
properties.
At
that
time,
we
found
111
parcels
the
largest
number
in
our
five
districts,
which
helps
to
show
why
we
had
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
those
single-family
opportunities
through
this
process,
but
we
did
have
a
number
in
multi-family
and
mixed-use
districts
as
well
next
slide.
AO
In
this
case,
however,
while
because
we're
not
adding
any
process,
the
underlying
land
use
designation
remains,
and
so
there's
a
tension
between
offering.
We
need
to
offer
a
meaningful
density
bonus,
but
at
the
same
time,
we're
offering
essentially
more
of
the
same
type
of
development
that
is
foreseen
for
that
land
use
district,
and
so
the
guidance
staff
received
was
that,
while
this
isn't
a
precise
bright
line
about
50
was
the
maximum
density
bonus.
We
could
apply
without
running
into
issues
with
the
underlying
comprehensive
plan
in
bellevue's
case.
AO
AO
Multi-Family
districts
are
the
r10
through
r30,
so
with
the
50
bonus
you
can
see
getting
up
to
potentially
45
units
per
acre
in
our
30
district,
while
in
the
single
family
lower
density
districts.
The
increase
is
more
modest
relative
to
the
lower
density
zoning
next
slide.
AO
So
a
couple
slides
here
quickly
just
to
show
a
comparison
of
what
this
can
look
like.
These
are
not
proposed
projects,
and
this
is
just
to
show
basically
the
dis,
the
difference
in
in
in
bulk.
So
here
we
have
an
r5
land
use
district
on
the
left,
which
show
what's
possible
under
the
current
zoning
and
on
the
right
here
you
can
see
the
50
bonus
applied
so,
as
you
can
see
we're
seeing
more
units
smaller
units,
but
fundamentally
it's
at
the
same
scale
as
the
surrounding
neighborhood
next
slide,
and
this
is
an
r30
example.
AO
So
again
we
have
a
theoretical,
two
acre
site
on
the
left.
We
see
the
base
zoning
on
the
right.
You
can
see
that
50
bonus
applied
again.
The
scale
is
still
pretty
comparable
next
slide,
so
staff
did
analyze
the
number
of
units
that
could
be
possible
on
those
sites
that
we'd
identified
and
modeled
what
would
happen
at
full
build
out
where
you're
building
out
to
the
maximum
with
this
bonus
applied.
This
is
an
unlikely
scenario,
as
we
expect.
AO
Only
a
subset
of
these
properties
are
going
to
be
interested
in
taking
advantage
of
the
bonus
and
may
not
go
to
the
full
maximum,
but,
as
we
can
see
here,
there's
a
substantial
uplift
for
those
properties
in
the
multi-family
districts.
Well,
it's
more
modest
in
the
single
family
and
non-residential
districts
next
slide.
AO
AO
We
have
proposed
an
additional
story
and
height
for
multi-family
districts,
as
well
as
some
flexibility
on
compact
and
tandem
parking,
fourth
topic
procedures
and
attachment
housing
units.
Again,
there's
no
additional
review
beyond
the
underlying
requirements
we
have
proposed
duplexes
and
triplexes.
Can
represent
up
to
half
of
the
units
in
single
family
subdivisions?
AO
This
wouldn't
change
the
overall
number
of
units
possible,
just
making
sure
some
of
them
could
be
attached,
and
finally,
we
made
sure
that
the
unit
lot
subdivision
process
can
be
applied
for
affordable
home
ownership.
Fifth
topic
are
cleanups.
These
aren't
required
for
the
luca
itself,
but
we
noticed
that
there
are
some
slight
inconsistencies
in
the
way
we
refer
to
affordable
housing
throughout
the
code
that
we
wanted
to
clean
up
and
make
more
consistent
next
slide.
AO
So
we
had
quite
a
bit
of
a
public
engagement
throughout
this
process
through
three
modes:
first,
the
standard
process,
four
requirements
noticing
ebcc
courtesy,
public
hearing
and
the
public
hearing
the
planning
commission.
We
did
some
direct
engagement
feedback
through
focus
groups,
meetings,
other
conversations
with
representatives
of
the
faith
community,
non-profit
housing
providers
and
members
of
the
public.
AO
Finally,
an
online
presence
through
engaging
bell
unit
project
web
page
next
slide.
It's
a
reminder
of
our
process.
We've
had
three
study
sessions
with
the
commission
through
the
spring
and
summer
courtesy
hearing
with
the
evcc
in
september,
as
well
as
the
planning
commission
public
hearing
which
brings
us
today.
This
was
the
one
study
session
we
had
planned
with
the
city
council,
where
we'll
be
requesting
to
move
forward
to
action,
followed
by
a
public
hearing
and
approval
disapproval
decision
with
the
ebcc.
AL
Thank
you
christina
next
slide.
Please
thank
you.
So,
as
you
heard
council
that
this
is
the
first
step
in
really
a
two-step
process,
this
step
really
sets
the
foundation
with
that
50
density
bonus
that
is
applied
to
all
of
the
residential
properties
that
are
owned
by
faith-based
community
or
non-profits
for
the
benefit
of
constructing,
affordable
housing.
AL
So
again,
this
foundation
piece
really
is
important
to
put
in
place
to
provide
the
added
benefit
that
comes
with
the
next
piece
of
work,
which
is
really
looking
at
those
properties
with
a
map
amendment
that
are
really
appropriate
to
take
additional
density
because
of
their
location
along
the
materials
and
and
frequent
transit.
AL
So
we
will
be
doing
some
of
that
pre-work
now,
as
we
approach
the
end
of
the
year
in
thinking
through
that
phase
two
work
and
bringing
that
forward
with
the
discussion
with
council
on
the
kind
of
the
right
next
work
related
to
your
affordable
housing
strategy,
so
that
you
can
look
at
that
in
array
with
the
rest
of
the
of
the
work
again,
we
have
momentum
behind
this
particular
piece
of
work
and
that
second
phase
is
responsive
to
the
discussion
that
we
have
with
the
planning
commission
about
being
more
bold.
AL
This
approach
is
more
bold,
but
in
a
much
more
deliberate
way
in
targeting
specific
properties
where
it
really
makes
sense.
So
with
that
next
slide,
please,
we
are
asking
this
evening
for
the
council
to
provide
staff
direction
to
bring
back
a
final
ordinance
at
a
future
meeting
that
essentially
sets
this
foundation
in
place
to
allow
for
work
on
the
next
phase
of
the
work.
So
with
that
we
hand
it
back
to
the
mayor
for
any
questions
or
comments.
AK
B
All
the
work
that
you
have
done,
I'm
gonna
ask
councilmember
barksdale
to
start
us
off,
since
he
is
the
liaison
to
the
planning
commission,
councilmember
barksdale.
I
All
right,
thank
you
mayor.
I
also
want
to
thank
chairman
kuchen
and
the
planning
commission
for
the
thoughtful
discussion,
so
I
agree
with
the
decision
to
move
forward
with
the
luca.
I
I
do
want
to
note
that
one
of
the
main
reasons
for
the
planning
commission
also
not
voting
to
not
proceed
with
the
luca
is
because
they
didn't
want
us
to
check
the
box
if
you
will
and
and
and
think
that
that
we're
done-
and
so
I
just
want
to
also
encourage
that
we,
I
know
staff
mentioned
that
they're
doing
the
pre-work,
but
I
would
love
to
also
just
go
ahead
and
provide
that
direction
for
the
2022
work
plan
for
the
for
the
map
amendment
so
that
they
have
that
clarity
as
they're
doing
that
work,
and
I
think,
similar
to
the
the
discussions
that
we
had
around
the
mfte
program.
I
I
mean
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
enough
incentives
for
the
for
the
developers,
in
this
case,
affordable
housing
developers
to
and
non-profit
the
faith
institutions
to
to
build
the
affordable
housing.
That's
needed
at
the
lower
level
so
below
the
80
percent
of
the
mft
was
focused
on
the
higher
levels
of
ami.
I
So
I
think,
if
we're
using,
if,
if
we
draw
to
parallel
there,
I
think
it's
just
as
important
to
make
sure
that
they
have
the
necessary
incentives
to
to
build
the
affordable
housing
that
we
need
at
the
lower
level.
Ami.
B
Okay,
so
thank
you
for
that.
So
I
will
say
that,
what's
on
the
table,
right
now
is
a
direction
for
staff
to
bring
back
the
ordinances
drafted
for
final
action
and
then
at
a
future
meeting
and
to
direct
staff
to
also
bring
back
a
map,
amendment
to
increase
density
and
I'm
going
to
say
to
focus
on
increasing
density
and
multi-family
and
multi-use
areas,
as
well
as
underzone
and
along
the
tod
and
as
councilmember
bark
steele
added
looking
at
the
incentives
for
deeper
affordability.
B
So
if
a
council
has
something
very
different
from
that,
please
bring
it
up,
but
if,
if
this
sounds
similar
to
your
direction,
please
please
let
us
know:
okay,
so
councilmember
stokes.
What
say
you.
F
I'm
fine
with
it.
I
think
it's,
it's
really
moves
us
forward,
I'm
very
excited
about
it.
I
did
have
a
question.
What
effect
would
having
this
reviewed
by
eb
ebc
see,
have
I
mean
is:
is
it
just
refunctory
or
can
they?
What
can
they
do?
AM
AM
Yep
sure
councilmember
stokes,
if
the
epcc
does
have
the
ability
to
vote
this
down
they
our
next
step.
Assuming
that
council
does
adopt
this
ordinance,
we
would
be
bringing
the
ordinance
to
the
abcc
for
a
public
hearing
and
then
at
that
point
they
have
the
discretion
to
approve
or
disapprove
that
ordinance.
F
Okay,
just
want
to
make
it
clear.
I
think
it's
great,
and
I
appreciate
the
planning
commission's
work
on
this
and
looking
forward
to
this
really
adding
to
our
chances
for
getting
a
lot
more,
affordable
housing.
Thank
you.
AJ
Thanks
so
yeah
I
I
yeah
I
I
appreciate
this
work
mike
or
trisna.
The
50
bonus
is
that
strictly
right,
in
line
with
the
state
law
on
the
legislation.
That
said,
we
need
to
bonus
religious
institutions
for
affordable
housing.
AM
AJ
AM
So
our
work
in
looking
at
the
local
needs
kind
of
question
is
really
to
look
at
it
comprehensively,
not
just
the
local
needs
for
affordable
housing,
but
the
local
needs
overall
in
terms
of
neighborhood
priorities
and
compatibility
and
other
kind
of
interests
that
the
city
has
indicated
that
they
would
want.
So
it
is
more
of
a
I
guess.
Our
luck
was
more
comprehensive
than
just
the
specific
to
affordable
housing
need.
AJ
Okay,
we
might
want
to
see
if
we
can
back
into
some
of
that
data
as
part
of
the
presentation
to
evcc.
Secondly,
so
I
support
bringing
this
forward.
I
support
looking
next
year
at
the
map,
the
I'd
like
to
see
how
this
all
lays
out
in
the
planning
work
plan,
because
so
we
can
figure
out
how
we
can
get
as
much
done
next
year
as
possible.
AJ
I'd
also
like
and
share
malaccusion
feel
free
to
weigh
in
on
this
next
suggestion,
I'd
like
to
also
see
if
we
have
staff
and
commission
resources
to
increase
their
rate
of
getting
things
done.
As
far
as
adding
more
meetings,
I
know
back
when
I
was
on
the
planning
commission
we
sometimes
back.
There
was
a
couple
years.
We
met
almost
four
times
a
month
when
we
were
doing
just
so
much
work.
AJ
I
think
we
really
need
to
ramp
up
if
we
have
the
staff
willingness
to
support
it
and
commissioners
who
can
come
most
of
the
time
anyway.
So
that's
I'd
like
to
see
how
we
that
question
to
come
forward
with
the
work
plan,
because
I'd
like
to
see
if
we
can
get
more
stuff
done
next
year
in
the
next
couple
years.
Secondly,
on
the
screening
of
the
properties,
I
absolutely
think
we
should
look
at
proximity
to
high
capacity
transit,
major
arterials,
whether
the
properties
are
surrounded
by
nearby
either
multi-family
or
commercial
zoned.
AJ
AJ
Some
cities
have
required
every
unit
built
at
some
of
these
properties
to
be
at
the
80
ami
or
below
so
rather
than
just
a
certain
percentage.
So
I'd
like
to
see
if
we
can
do
that,
and
then
I
agree
about
looking
for
incentives
for
deeper
affordability,
so
I'll
stop
there
and
I've
got
still
a
lot
on
our
agenda
thanks
for
bringing
this
forward,
and
thank
you,
chairman
cushing,
if
you
want
to
weigh
in
on
my,
can
the
planning
commission
up
their
game
to
three
meetings
a
month?
Please
feel
free
yeah.
AK
Think
I
think,
for
the
greater
good
we
should
support
whatever
that
city
council
needs,
but
that's
just
me
I'm
sure
my
fellow
commissioner
needs
to
have
wayne
in
that,
but
yeah.
Why
not.
AJ
B
Appreciate
that
deputy
mayor.
H
You
mayor,
I
think
I
heard
a
challenge
accepted
there,
so
thanks
for
bringing
that
forward,
council,
member
robertson
and
chairman
alexis
and
the
planning
commission
thanks
for
all
your
hard
work
on
this,
I
too
support
looking
at
that
at
the
map
that
councilmember
barksdale
suggested,
as
well
as
some
of
the
criteria
there
for
the
screening
mechanisms.
I
think
that's
a
good
process
to
to
look
at
as
well
as
what
other
cities
are
doing
falling
back
on
the
ebcc
question.
H
Tris,
can
you
remind
me
how
many
faith-based
lots
fall
within
the
ebcc
area
and
then
also,
if
I
recall
correctly,
there
was
a
courtesy
hearing
already
with
the
ebcc.
Can
you
just
remind
myself
and
the
rest
of
my
colleagues
some
of
the
feedback
you
received
from
some
of
the
council
members.
AO
Thank
you,
trisna
and
I'll
have
to
vamp
a
bit
while
my
computer,
hopefully
catches
up
with
the
plan,
but
if
memory
serves,
I
believe
it
was
about
20
of
the
parcels,
but
we
can
of
course
provide
that
firm
number
next
time.
AO
That's
a
good
question,
I
don't
recall
if
we
had.
I
think
we
there
may
be
some
in
other
districts,
but
we
can
confirm
that
okay.
AO
Sure,
well,
at
that
time
the
proposal
did
include
the
super
bonus
and
the
commissioners
did
share
concerns
kind
of
with
the
potential
for
not
being
totally
certain
about
which
parcels
would
take
advantage
of
the
super
bonus
and
what
that
would
entail
in
terms
of
a
maximum
density.
So,
looking
for
some
more
predictability
there,
they
also
shared
some
concerns
with
a
perception
of
avoiding
concentrations
of
affordable
housing
within
their
jurisdiction
and
impacts
to
surrounding
neighborhoods.
H
Yeah,
I
think
that
is
a
concern
that
even
I
hear
quite
often
in
the
lake
hills,
crossroads
area,
but
I
think
we
can
get
more
into
that
topic
as
we're
dealing
with
super
density.
Our
super
bonus,
as
we
look
at
the
maps
etcetera
at
a
later
point
but
happy
to
move
this
forward
at
this
point.
So
thank
you
christina
and
trisna.
D
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Well,
thanks
to
planning
commission
and
commissioner
martian,
I
I
think
that
we
all
agree.
I
do
we
need
more
housing
yeah,
and
this
applies
to
both
affordable
housing
and
also
regular
housing
as
well
right.
I
assume,
I
think.
AM
Sure
the
the
current
proposed
luca
is
only
for
affordable
housing
development.
It
has
to
be
completely
all
affordable,
housing
at
that
80
percent
or
lower
ami.
AM
The
map
amendments
that
we
are
kind
of
contemplating
and
those
are
properties
that
are
religious-owned
non-profits,
we're
looking
at
whether
or
not
to
include
everything,
including
non-profits
and
city-owned
properties,
or
just
narrow
that
so
at
this
point,
this
is
kind
of
some
of
the
pre-work
that
we're
looking
at
in
terms
of
kind
of
evaluating
the
various
different
properties
that
may
be
eligible
for
this
canada,
cpa
and
rezone.
AM
Our
thinking
is
that
they
would
also
be
affordable,
housing
development,
so
similar
action
c1
really
calls
for
affordable
housing,
development
on
religious
on
properties
and
and
non-profits,
and
increasing
that
the
number
of
affordable
units.
So
that's
our
current
thinking
at
this
point,
obviously
we'll
be
bringing
this
forward
for
councils
council's
kind
of
consideration
and
direction.
D
AK
D
Okay,
well,
as
I
mentioned,
you
know,
I
think
this
seems
to
me
has
a
potential.
You
know
it
just
provides
flexibility
if
you're
supposed
to
work
for
affordable
housing.
One
cannot
be.
You
know
acceptable
for
right.
I
B
B
Let
me
just
stop
you
for
a
second
because
you're
asking
to
change
directions
on
this,
and
I
don't
know
that.
B
All
right:
well,
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
consensus
to
want
to
entertain
market
value,
increased
density
for.
D
B
They
are
take
a
different
direction
to
make
it
otherwise,
so
are
you
comfortable
leaving
at
affordable
housing,
or
do
you
want
to
ask
council
if
they're
interested
in
entertaining
markets.
D
Eventually,
but
you
know
this
seems
to
be
opportunity
to
you
know,
to
continue
to
look
into
the
other
part
of
it
anyway,
so
at
this
moment
yeah
we
probably
don't
have
time
to
do
that.
So
I
will
rest
with.
B
Okay,
is
that
two
all
right
and
I'm
going
to
assume
that
the
rest
are
not.
So
I
will
let
that
drop
off.
G
G
Yes,
tom,
thank
you
thank
you
chairmakuchin
and
the
planning
commission.
I
know
how
much
work
this
has
been
to
to
get
to
this
point,
and
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
you've
stressed
the
importance
of
the
fact
that
this
has
not
been
a
simple
recommendation
for
us.
So
I
really
appreciate
that.
I
support
what
my
colleagues
have
shared,
which
is
to
pass
the
buy
right,
50
density
bonus
right
now
and
also
to
direct
staff
to
start
on
the
the
map
amendment.
I
think
it
is
very,
very
crucial
that
we
work
on
that.
G
I
did
have
a
couple
of
questions,
though,
to
make
sure
I
completely
understand
so
in
the
table
where
we
talk
about
having
this
density
bonus,
it
looks
like
the
increase
over
the
base.
Sony
would
inc
would
potentially
result
in
2
000
more
units.
G
AO
Yes,
that's
correct
that
the
slide
with
the
chart
only
showed
the
increase
associated
with
the
buy
right
bonus,
so
that
the
phase
two
would
really
focus
on
maximizing
the
potential
and
especially
some
of
the
lower
zone.
Districts.
G
Okay
and
then
it
also
said
that
of
the
111
parcels,
there's
only
24
that
don't
already
have
some
type
of
existing
housing.
So
I
didn't
realize
that
so
there
so
we
actually
are
going
to
be
potentially
taking
existing
housing
and
up
zoning
or
creating
more
units
within
which
means
that
when
we
look
at
that
we're
gaining
some,
but
then
we're
not
actually
preserving
existing,
because
some
of
it's
actually
going
to
be
converted
to
duplexes
or
triflexes,
and
then
do
you
have
a
sense
for
how
many
parcels
would
be
eligible
for
this
target.
G
AO
Thank
you.
Those
are
those
are
great
questions,
so,
starting
with
some
of
the
questions
about
the
one
that
the
parcels
that
have
existing
housing-
that's
that's
a
that's
a
good
catch
and
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that,
with
this
density
bonus,
it's
a
it's
an
option
that
would
be
available
if
those
property
owners
choose
chose
to
move
forward
with
a
redevelopment,
whether
partial
or
complete.
AO
So
it's
not
mandatory
for
those
properties
to
redevelop
or
take
advantage.
So
there
could
be
some
potential
for
redevelopment,
but
maybe
not
in
many
cases
a
lot
of
the
properties
with
housing
are
properties
owned
by
affordable
housing
providers.
Already,
who
may
be,
you
know,
reinvest
and
expanding?
It
really
depends,
there's
a
lot
of
uncertainty
with
which
properties
would
move
forward
and
then
on
the
super
bonus.
A
lot
of
our
work
so
far
is
still
in
kind
of
narrowing
down
those
criteria.
AO
During
the
luca
process,
we
looked
at
a
lot
of
the
properties
that
would
have
potentially
been
eligible
under
our
criteria.
At
that
time
it
was
around
maybe
a
couple
dozen
or
so
or
a
dozen
or
so
really,
but
we
do
need
more
work
to
you
know
narrow
down
what
the
proposal
would
be
for
this
phase
two,
so
I
I
don't
think
we're
quite
yet
at
a
position
to
confirm
how
many,
but
that's
the
focus
of
our
next
work.
B
V
B
B
Okay,
welcome
back
everybody.
We
have
our
last
study
session
item
and
then
we
have
a
ordinance
after
this,
but
let's
go
ahead
and
mr
miyake,
could
you
introduce
the
second
study
session
item?
Please.
V
Sure,
mayor
robinson,
council
members,
the
last
item
on
your
study
session
agenda
this
evening,
is
the
council's
continued
discussion
on
the
east
main
land
use
code.
Amendment
just
by
way
background
tonight
is
the
seventh,
I
believe
in
a
series
of
study
sessions
for
council
to
consider
the
remaining
topics
for
the
draft
east
main
luca.
V
Tonight's
staff
will
present
information
on
topics
related
to
building
height,
minimum
housing,
affordable
housing
in
lieu
floor,
plate
sizes
and
exceptions
for
expansive
existing
uses,
and
tonight
we
are
seeking
council
direction
on
each
one
of
these
topical
areas
joining
us
this
evening
are
mike
brennan
director
president
tanner's
consulting
attorney
nick
whipple
code
and
policy
planning
manager,
all
three
from
the
development
services
department.
AL
Thank
you
miss
miyake
good
evening
again,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newton,
houston
and
city
council
members.
The
last
time
we
were
before
council
with
the
east
main
land
use
code.
Amendment
was
on
october
18th.
We
did
receive
direction
on
certain
topic
areas.
We
are
bringing
forward
additional
topics,
the
final
list
of
topics
that
the
council
identified
for
additional
discussion
and
direction
at
previous
meetings.
AL
Next
slide,
please.
So
this
evening
we
are
looking
for
direction
on
these
topics
to
incorporate
the
recommendations
into
the
final
landis
code
amendment
and,
following
that,
looking
for
direction
from
the
council
to
prepare
the
final
ordinance
for
future
adoption.
As
you'll
remember,
we've
shown
a
timeline
that
attempts
to
complete
this
work
before
the
end
of
the
year,
pretty
tight
schedule.
AL
AL
So,
as
mr
mayaki
mentioned,
we
are
going
to
be
walking
through
very
quickly
the
timeline
that
we
have
progressed
along
with
respect
to
this
landis
code,
amendment
the
sequence
of
review
on
the
topic
areas
that
have
been
discussed
previously
and
those
that
are
listed
this
evening:
height
and
housing,
minimum
housing
requirements
a
fee
in
lieu
option
as
part
of
the
amenities
system,
a
floor,
plate
maximum
floor
plate
sizes
and
then
exceptions
for
existing
uses
and
specifically
around
the
bellevue
club,
which
the
council
has
weighed
in
on
previously.
AL
So
at
this
point
in
the
presentation,
I'm
going
to
hand
it
to
tris
nathanas,
who
will
progress
through
some
additional
background
information
on
the
request
for
this
evening.
Thank
you.
Trisna.
AM
Thank
you
mike
good
evening
again
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council.
This
slide
shows
the
timeline
that
might
just
spoke
of
earlier
in
the
progression
of
the
east
main
luca.
In
the
past
few
months,
there
were
several
study
sessions
earlier
this
year
and
last
year
before,
council
held
the
public
hearing
on
this
luca
on
july
26th.
AM
The
public
hearing
was
on
the
draft
blue
cut
that
was
completed
and
made
available
to
stakeholders
at
the
end
of
last
year
or
december
of
2020,
and
after
holding
this
public
hearing.
Council
can,
of
course,
take
final
action.
At
any
point,
however,
council
did
want
to
explore
a
number
of
topics
raised
by
stakeholders
in
response
to
their
review
of
the
december
2020
draft
luca.
AM
We
have
included
this
table
in
your
packet
as
attachment
c
council
has
also
expressed
an
interest
in
moving
this
luca
forward
as
quickly
and
efficiently
as
possible.
We
have
sequenced
council's
review
of
the
list
of
topics
to
achieve
this
goal
and
have
documented
council's
direction
and
decisions
as
we
move
through
the
various
topics.
These
are
all
in
attachment
b
of
your
packet,
also
in
attachment
b,
are
updated
stakeholder
requests,
as
these
requests
have
evolved
over
the
past
several
months,
primarily
from
the
wake
properties.
AM
AM
We
have
also
not
reviewed
in
any
great
detail
and
would
not
be
able
to
provide
any
response
to
the
list
of
requested
changes
from
ehr
or
the
east
side,
housing
roundtable
that
was
just
submitted
to
council
earlier
today,
or
the
letter
submitted
by
the
bellevue
athletic
club,
and
that
came
in
this
afternoon,
however,
to
explain
the
color
coding
in
attachment
b,
if,
if
council
has
produced
through
there,
where
council
has
expressed
certain
interests,
such
as
regarding
height
and
minimum
housing,
and
has
already
been
introduced
to
these
topics,
these
topics
are
shown
in
yellow,
so
we're
just
looking
for
confirmation
on
them.
AM
When
items
are
cons,
that
council
is
considering,
for
the
first
time
they're
shown
in
orange
and
where
council
has
made
decisions,
including
those
for
far
amenity
options
and
the
development
agreement
path
which
were
made
at
the
last
study
session
on
october
18th,
they
have
been
highlighted
in
green,
as
council
has
already
made
those
decisions
for
tonight's
study
session.
The
topics
presented
for
council
decisions
are
maximum
height,
minimum
housing,
affordable
housing,
fee
new
four
plate
sizes
and
exceptions
for
the
bellevue
athletic
club.
AM
Next
slide,
please,
as
I
noted
earlier,
one
of
the
decisions
council
made
on
october
18th
is
to
allow
departures
from
the
east
main
manuscript
through
a
development
agreement
or
va.
We
wanted
to
give
this
brief
summary
of
this
council
decision
to
include
a
broad
use
of
das.
This
broad
use
of
da's
will
actually
accomplish
in
time
flexibility
for
all
project,
specific
needs
and
in
terms
of
efficiency
and
processing.
AM
AM
AM
AM
AM
These
units
are
critical
in
balancing
out
the
current
housing
deficit
and
housing.
Affordability
need
in
bellevue
next
slide.
Please
we
have
a
list
of
topics
for
council,
discussion
and
deliberation
tonight
and
we've
taken
the
liberty
of
outlining
this
list
in
this
slide,
but
we
want
to
note
that
this
handful
of
topics
is
what
it
remains
outstanding
out
of
a
lengthy
and
comprehensive
draft
piece,
mainland
use
code
and
is
the
result
of
continuing
engagement
with
our
stakeholders,
especially
the
big
properties
and
bellevue
athletic
club.
AM
AM
Lastly,
though,
this
may
seem
to
be
a
long
list
as
you'll
hear
in
our
later
slides
staff
and
stakeholders
are
actually
aligned
on
a
number
of
these
items.
So
next
slide.
Please
I'm
now
going
to
hand
off
the
presentation
to
nick
lippell
who
will
go
through
the
remaining
topics
and
our
recommendations
in
more
detail.
Nick.
AP
Thank
you
and
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newton
house
and
city
council,
so
to
begin
with
our
first
topic:
area,
building,
height
and
housing,
east
maine
does
present
a
great
opportunity
to
increase
and
diversify
the
city's
overall
housing
stock
and
contribute
towards
balancing
the
job
and
housing
growth.
AP
As
trisna
noted
earlier
in
the
slide
based
on
regional
growth
projections,
the
city
expects
to
add
35
000
new
housing
units
and
the
draft
luca
or
option
b
estimates
that
1200
to
1500
new
households
can
locate
in
east
maine,
with
the
increased
zoning
capacity
option
a
and
b
prioritize
the
creation,
the
creation
of
housing
and
affordable
housing
within
this
transit-rich
neighborhood
and
is
critical
to
implementing
the
vision,
goals
and
policies
in
the
east.
Maine
cpa,
as
provided
by
or
as
provided
for
by
council
on
october
18th.

AP
AP
The
building
height
matches
the
maximum
allowable
building
height
allowed
in
downtown
albe
south,
which
is
just
north
of
main
street,
and
it
extends
up
to
northeast
4th
street
that
height
limit
a
minimum
housing
requirement
in
option
a
or
the
current
draft
luca
is
for
30
percent,
which
for
the
red
line
and
hilton
parcels.
We
estimate
that
could
yield
almost
1300
units
in
this
neighborhood
and
for
residential
development
since
affordable
housing
is
a
tier
one
amenity.
The
first
75
percent
of
the
project's
amenities
are
provided
through
the
affordable
housing
incentive
option.
AP
AP
So
this
visualization
of
the
maximum
building
height
in
the
draft,
luca
relative
to
downtown
and
surrey
downs
was
provided
at
the
september
13th
council
meeting.
These
are
schematic
views
to
show
building
envelopes
and
they
do
not
reflect
floor
area
or
building
density.
So
to
start
with
the
top
image.
This
is
a
view
looking
west
from
I-405.
AP
So
we
see
the
maximum
building
height
matches
the
building
heights
on
the
same
plane
along
112th
avenue
in
the
downtown
albe
south
land
use
district.
So,
as
you
move
north
from
the
east
main
tod,
the
big
the
building
heights
do
begin
to
step
up
or
increase,
as
you
move
north
of
northeast
4th
street,
which
is
when
you
begin
to
to
near
the
downtown
core
and
the
bottom
image
is
a
schematic
view.
AP
So,
in
deciding
maximum
building
heights,
we
did
want
to
be
very
thoughtful
in
how
building
heights
transition,
as
you
leave
downtown
to
the
south
and,
as
you
enter
in
east
maine
and
as
you
continue
through
east
maine
from
the
east
main
high
block
to
the
east
main
low
block,
which
is
south
of
southeast
6th
street,
as
well
as
as
you
transition
to
the
west,
where
the
surrey
downs
neighborhood
is
located.
AP
So
with
option
b,
the
recommended
change
that
we're
seeking
confirmation
from
council
on
at
the
at
the
september
council
meeting.
We
heard
most,
if
not
all,
council
of
councils,
comfort
level
with
the
idea
of
increasing
the
maximum
as
of
right
building
height
to
300
feet.
With
that
additional
20
feet
for
mechanical
screening.
AP
We
also
heard
feedback
that
the
increase
in
building
height
should
be
in
exchange
for
more
housing
in
the
tod
and
specifically,
more
affordable
housing.
Given
that
an
increase
in
building
height
from
230
feet
to
300
to
300
feet
is
a
valuable
increase
to
the
properties
with
that
staff
recommends,
increasing
the
maximum
building
height
to
300
feet
and
increasing
the
minimum
housing
requirement
from
30
to
35
percent
and
amending
the
amenity
allocation
amount
from
75
of
the
amenities
earned
through
affordable
housing
to
80
of
the
amenities
would
be
earned
through
that
provision.
AP
So
option
b
does
have
the
potential
to
generate
1515
units.
That's
our
estimate
for
the
red
line
in
hilton
parcels,
which
is
217
more
residential
units
than
the
current
draft,
luca
and
87,
affordable
housing
units
which
is
17
more
units
than
what
the
current
draft
luca
has
so
just
to
quickly
move
through
the
same
profiles
here.
So
the
top
image
we're
seeing
the
maximum
building
height
in
east
main
is
about
70
feet
or
six
stories
taller
than
what
we
would
find
in
the
district
directly
north
in
downtown.
The
downtown
all
will
be
south
district.
AP
This
option
still
plans
for
the
tallest
buildings
to
be
located
near
downtown
and
I-405,
and
it
the
buildings
would
progressively
lower
in
height
at
the
west
edge
of
the
tod.
As
it
nears
sir
downs,
the
high-rise
buildings
in
east
maine
will
relate
to
the
heightened
scale
of
buildings
in
downtown
bellevue,
but
they're
still
respectful
to
the
tallest
towers
that
would
be
found
in
the
downtown
core
and
then
the
bottom
image
shows
the
relationship
to
sturdy
bounce
and
continues
to
allow
for
that
transition
to
the
single
family
neighborhood.
AP
So
this
request
has
been
updated
to
match
their
september
13th
request,
which
includes
a
400
foot
tall
building
heights
with
20
for
mechanical
screening,
a
minimum
housing
requirement
of
20
percent,
with
the
first
75
percent
of
a
project's
amenity
points
being
earned
through
the
affordable
housing
option.
So
we
have
heard
from
wake
properties
that
high-rise
residential
development
with
affordable
housing
is
not
financially
feasible
at
this
time.
AP
We've
also
heard
that
building
the
building
height
increase
is
necessary
to
achieve
the
maximum
floor
area
available
for
the
site
both
option,
a
which
is
the
230
foot.
Building
height
maximum
and
option
b,
which
is
300
foot
maximum
building
height,
were
analyzed
to
confirm
that
the
building
height
would
not
be
a
limiting
factor
to
achieving
the
maximum.
AP
Far
density
for
the
the
tod
and
the
result
of
that
analysis
is
that
through
the
master
development
plan,
which
is
a
process
requirement
for
this
district,
far
can
be
moved
around
on
the
site
to
ensure
that
full
development
potential
can
be
achieved,
and
then,
lastly,
we
also
with
this
draft
code,
applied
a
lot
of
the
lessons
learned
from
developers
in
downtown,
as
well
as
bell
red
to
make
residential
development
a
more
attractive
option,
I'm
just
in
recognition
that
there's
a
strong
market
preference
for
office
development
right
now.
AP
As
of
right,
then,
additional
process
time
is
needed
to
accommodate
this
request
to,
of
course,
study
the
environmental
consequences,
as
well
as
some
of
the
economics
around
that
that
increase,
and
as
a
reminder
that
development
agreement
option
is
available
to
satisfy
this
request
in
a
project.
Specific
analysis
of
whatever
environmental
impacts
there
may
be,
would
be
completed
at
the
time
of
the
development
agreement
and
so
a
similar
image.
AP
The
top
image
we're
seeing
the
maximum
building
height
is
170
feet
taller
than
the
buildings
north
of
main
street
in
downtown
and
more
consistent
with
the
building
heights
found
near
the
downtown
core.
The
bottom
image
again
shows
the
relationship
to
surrey,
downs
and
has
much
taller
buildings
in
close
proximity
to
the
single-family
neighborhood.
AP
AP
Council
has,
since
directed
staff,
to
include
affordable
housing
as
a
first
tier
amenity
for
residential
development
to
help
meet
the
city's,
affordable
housing
need
and
has
indicated
an
expectation
that
affordable
housing
be
provided
within
east
maine,
so
on-site
performance,
as
there's
community
benefit
to
having
a
closer
connection
between
the
development
of
market
rate
housing
and
citing
affordable
housing
in
this
transit.
Rich
area
council
also
indicated
an
interest
in
collecting
a
fee
for
non-residential
development
to
help
contribute
to
the
affordable
housing
need
in
the
city.
AP
So
option
b
is
the
staff
recommendation
to
provide
for
on-site
performance
for
residential
development
and
a
fee
in
lieu
option
for
non-residential
development
and
then
for
the
stakeholder
request.
Wade
properties
has
asked
for
a
fee
in
lieu
option
for
both
non-residential
and
residential
for
providing
a
fee
in
lieu
option
for
residential.
AP
It
may
result
in
fewer,
affordable
units
that
are
built
in
east
maine.
Therefore,
staff
does
not
recommend
a
fianlu
option
for
residential
development
and
with
the
next
topic
of
floor,
plate
sizes
and
step
backs
so
the
floor.
Plate
framework,
that's
established
in
the
east
main
code
provides
for
flexible
building
design
while
addressing
how
pedestrians
experience
a
high-rise
building,
as
well
as
how
it's
viewed
from
a
distance
council
had
previously
indicated
a
desire
for
larger
floor
plates
in
east
maine
for
non-residential
development
and
also
directed
staff
to
use
the
downtown
olb
south
district
requirements.
AP
So
both
the
non-residential
and
residential
floor
plate
sizes
in
option
a
do
follow
this
previous
direction
for
residential
development.
The
stakeholders
requested
a
maximum
floor
plate
size
of
26
000
square
feet.
As
of
their
letter
yesterday,
I
believe
the
request
was
modified
to
twenty
five
thousand
square
feet
initially
in
december
of
2020
wic
properties
requested
for
a
departure
process
similar
to
downtown
to
allow
for
the
maximum
floor
plate
between
80
feet
and
150
feet
to
be
increased
to
25
000
square
feet.
AP
At
that
time,
staff
included
that
departure
process
per
that
request
from
wake
properties.
So
we've
added
the
departure
process
to
the
draft
luca
to
address
the
request
for
larger
floor
plates.
This
type
of
process
would
allow
it's
an
administrative
departure
process.
It
allows
for
the
director
to
work
with
the
developer
to
ensure
other
urban
design
measures
such
as
tower
spacing
building
modulation
tower
orientation.
AP
Those
types
of
considerations
are
closely
reviewed
in
order
to
optimize
sunlight
sky
views
and
allow
for
interesting
building
forms.
So
the
stakeholder
request
would
allow
for
the
largest
as
of
right
floor
plate
size
that
we
have
for
towers
taller
than
150
feet
in
the
city
and
for
residential
development.
AP
Wig
properties
has
asked
for
the
step
back
requirement
to
be
eliminated
and
to
allow
for
an
unlimited
floor
plate
size
up
to
80
feet
for
towers
and
then
reduce
the
floor
plates
above
80
feet
consistent
with
the
draft
luca
so
very
similar
to
the
building
height
minimum
housing
and
other
standards
and
guidelines
that
apply
to
east
main
floor
plates
may
also
be
modified
through
the
development
agreement
to
meet
the
stakeholder
request
based
on
a
specific
development
proposal.
AP
That's
under
review,
and
so
we
also
have,
as
I
mentioned,
the
administrative
departure
process
in
the
draft
code.
That's
consistent
with
downtown
that
would
allow
for
floor
plates
to
be
as
large
as
25
000
square
feet
in
size
up
to
a
certain
height
limit.
AP
So
the
floor
plate
framework
creates
three
distinct
parts
of
a
tower
base:
middle
and
top
through
varied
floor
plate
sizes
at
different
points
of
the
building,
with
step
backs
included
at
the
base
the
floor.
Plate
limits
are
important
to
manage
building
bulk
shadows
and
the
pedestrian
experience,
while
also
allowing
for
flexibility
and
floor
plan
efficiencies.
AP
AP
This
is
for
non-residential
buildings,
so
office
buildings,
floor
plates
at
the
top
of
the
tower
between
80
feet
and
the
maximum
building
height,
to
be
20
000
square
feet
in
size
which
again
matches
downtown
albany's
south
the
middle
floor,
plate
between
40
feet
and
80
feet
would
then
increase
to
30
000
square
feet
and
then,
as
you
move
to
the
building
base,
there
would
be
an
unlimited
floor
plate
size,
but
a
15
foot
step
back
would
be
included
as
a
defining
element
for
the
adjacent
public
realm
and
that
really
works
to
reduce
the
bulk
and
create
an
appropriately
scaled
street
wall
for
pedestrians.
AP
Alongside
that
building
and
then
for
residential
floor
plates
they're,
almost
always
smaller
than
non-residential
floor
plates
just
because
of
the
need
for
light
and
air
in
individual
units.
So
you
would
typically
have
a
unit
a
corridor
and
then
a
unit
to
optimize
sunlight
to
those
people
residing
within
the
tower.
So
the
recommended
residential
floor
plate
size
in
the
code
is
the
largest
floor
plate
size
that
we
currently
offer
in
the
city
for
residential
buildings,
greater
than
80
feet
in
height,
so
that
recommendation
matches
the
downtown
ob.
AP
AP
One
item
to
notice
the
step
back
would
not
be
required
along
112th
avenue,
because
the
current
restriction
in
the
code
would
not
allow
for
tall
enough
buildings
that
would
warrant
that
step
back
requirement.
The
buildings
taper
down
there,
so
we've
heard
that
the
floor
plates
larger
than
what
is
proposed
in
the
draft
luca,
are
necessary
to
achieve
the
maximum
floor
area
for
the
site.
AP
Similar
to
what
we
had
heard
for
the
request
to
increase
building
height,
we
have
modeled
redevelopment
scenarios
on
the
hilton
and
red
lion
site
to
ensure
that
the
recommended
floor
plate
sizes
do
not
limit
the
ability
to
build
to
the
maximum
far
while
still
providing
for
ample
light
air
open
space
and
tower
spacing,
and
so
the
results
of
that
analysis
show
that
reaching
the
maximum
far
is
achievable
within
the
boundaries
of
the
code.
As
we
have
it
drafted
right
now.
AP
So
we
have
just
two
more
quick
topics,
so
this
topic
area
relates
to
exceptions
for
the
existing
athletic
club
and
accessory
hotel
use.
So
the
bellevue
club,
the
council,
has
had
expressed
an
interest
in
allowing
for
continued
operation
and
expansion
of
the
bellevue
athletic
club
without
requiring
the
club
to
meet
east
main
district
specific
requirements
such
as
open
space,
minimum
housing,
ground
floor
uses
and
other
types
of
requirements
that
could
be
problematic
to
accomplish
given
their
business
model.
AP
So
with
that
staff
recommends
option
b,
which
is
aligned
with
the
bellevue
athletic
club
request
to
exempt
out
expansions
of
the
club,
an
accessory
hotel
up
to
the
base
floor
area
ratio.
So
right
now,
based
on
what
we
can
glean
from
king
county
assessor
data,
the
bellevue
club
is
built
at
about
a
0.5
far
so
option
b
would
allow
for
them
to
expand
up
to
a
2.5
far
without
needing
to
meet
most
requirements,
standards
and
guidelines.
AP
In
the
code,
this
recommendation
would
apply
some
design
review
guidelines
and
certain
standards
that
are
reasonable
and
appropriate,
such
as
parking
stall
dimensions
or
pedestrian
safety
circulation
requirements
to
ensure
that
the
future
expansion
is
safe
and
also
consistent
with
the
design
criteria
for
the
east
main
tod
and
then
with
the
last
topic
area.
AP
So
the
draft
luca
uses
for
below
grade
parking
garages,
it
uses
the
downtown
code
or
the
downtown
chapter
as
a
base,
so
for
below-grade
parking
garages,
the
language
used
in
the
east
main
luca,
is
exactly
the
same
as
what
is
used
in
the
downtown
code.
The
downtown
does
have
many
below-grade
parking
garages
and
we
have
not
had
an
issue
in
permitting
these
types
of
structures
in
downtown
bellevue.
AL
Thank
you
nick.
So
again
we
are
seeking
council
direction
on
these
remaining
topics
that
you've
identified
previously
for
direction
and
inclusion
into
the
final
draft,
and
then
I'm
moving
on
to
direct
staff
to
bring
forward
a
ordinance
for
final
adoption.
AL
As
you
heard
from
nick
and
prisma,
we
have
been
working
with
stakeholders
throughout
the
process
trying
to
find
alignment
and
coordination
where
we
can
achieve
that.
Clearly,
some
of
the
requests
that
are
bringing
that
we're
bringing
to
the
council
this
evening
are
very
much
policy
level
choices
that
the
council
appropriately
should
weigh
in
on
specifically
those
areas
where
we're
talking
about
significant
increases
in
floor
area
building
heights,
et
cetera
that
are
different
than
we
find
it
elsewhere
in
the
city.
AL
So
there
is
certainly
valuable
information
that
nick
provided
regarding
how
the
information
provided
in
the
draft
land.
These
code
aligns
with
other
areas
of
the
city,
and
some
of
the
requests
are
seeking
allowances
that
are
a
little
bit
more
generous.
So
with
that
mayor,
certainly
here
to
answer
any
questions,
it
might
be
helpful
to
go
back
to
that
summary
slide.
That
lists
all
of
the
topics
and
the
recommendation
to
help
facilitate
your
discussion.
B
So
we'll
start
with
building
height
and
you've
got
ears
slide
up
for
building
height
and
mineral
housing,
we'll
do
building
height
and
minimal
housing.
I
guess
together
and
you
see
that
staff
recommendation.
We
don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
time,
but
we'll
take
as
much
time
as
we
need.
But
I'm
going
to
ask
that
in
your
comments
you
indicate
whether
you
support
staff's
recommendation
or
something
other
than
that,
and
we
don't
need
to
have
a
long
discussion
if
you're
supporting
staff's
recommendation.
B
So,
let's
see
I
gotta
figure
out
how
I
can
see
people
and
see
the
the
slide.
B
Let's
see
if
I
can
okay
hold
on
well,
okay,
so
I'm
just
gonna
call
on
I'm
gonna
start
with
councilmember
stokes
and
we'll
just
go
down
the
line
here.
Can
you
comment
on
building
height
minimum
housing?
Tell
me
if
you're
with
staff's
recommendation
or
something
else.
F
Yeah,
thank
you,
mayor
yeah.
I
agree
with
the
option
b,
the
staff's
recommendation
and
I
think
we're
at
a
point
where
we
need
to
move
this
along
the
best
way
possible
and
have
some
flexibility,
but
not
keep
coming
back
every
time
and
have
new
things
pop
up
and
you
we
need
to
get
to
the
development
agreement
to
modify
this,
and
I
think
the
basis
is
set
very
well.
This
is
a
huge
increase.
I
think
is
exciting.
That
we've
included
as
many
things
and
to
me.
AP
F
D
I
has
expressed
my
desire
that
you
know
I
need
to
support
whatever
makes
it
possible
for
the
developer,
and
I
think
we
talked
about
this
being-
maybe
an
item
that
could
be
included
in
the
development
agreement,
and
I
see
that
the
developer
property
owner
did
not.
I
think
they
are
comfortable
with
that.
I
believe
they
did
not.
They
didn't
address
it
specifically
in
their
in
the
items
that
they
they
brought
up.
You
know
earlier
on
or
in
their
the
the
letter
they
sent
to
us.
D
I
believe
that
they
are
comfortable.
You
know
if
there's
something
that
could
be
open
in
the
development
agreement.
I
think
that'd
be
great.
The
only
question
I
have
is
that
the
staff
mentioned
about
the
conditions
of
getting
the
home
agreement.
It's
when
it's
going
to
be
there's
a
lot
of
things
involved,
got
to
be
reviewed
and
I'm
not
sure
whether
that
becomes
too
restrictive,
I'm
not
sure
that's
been
discussed.
D
D
Our
goal
is
really
to
have
this
budget
and
have
affordable
housing
and
other
things
that
we
think
that
it's
a
important
for
the
city.
So
if
it
becomes
additional
barriers,
I
would
be
uncomfortable
with
it.
So
I'd
like
to
see
yeah,
I
I
would
support
it,
but
I
would
put
a
condition
that
if
the
developer
feel
that
this
can
be
acceptable,
they
can
accomplish
the
goal.
AJ
I
want
to
pick
and
choose
so
for
the
building
height.
I
support
the
third
300
to
320
for
the
max
with
the
da
option
modified,
but
I
we
had
talked
about
allowing
some
reasonable
heights
in
the
middle
and
towards
112,
and
we
really
never
had
a
discussion
about
that.
So
I
would
support
allowing
the
160
to
180
in
the
middle
and
the
90
near
112th,
as
the
stakeholders
have
asked
on
the
minimum
housing.
AJ
If
we
go
with
35
percent,
we
are
75
percent
higher
than
any
other
zone
for
mandatory
minimum
housing
in
the
city.
Bellred's
20
we're
getting
a
lot
of
housing
in
bellred.
I
think
that's
fair.
I
would
go
with
20
on
the
minimum
housing.
I
think
35
percent,
we
we,
it
was
30
and
I
think
some
of
us
thought
that
was
too
high
and
instead
we
got
a
recommendation
even
higher,
so
on
the
affordable
housing
amenity
system.
B
AJ
Minimum
housing
and
max
height
yeah-
sorry,
oh
I'm,
okay,
so
that
I
would
do
that,
and
I
would
also
but
I'd
like
to
ask
staff.
You
know
they
didn't
mention.
The
other
study
that
was
done
by
echo
northwest,
and
my
understanding
about
that
study
is
that
it
shows
that,
with
the
proposed
staff
proposal
that
we
are
not
going
to
get
the
affordable
housing
immediately
it's
and
that
it
will
be
quite
a
delay
and
that
we
cannot
maximize
far
and
density
on
the
site
unless
everything's
300
feet.
AJ
B
Since
we
are
voting
on
this
tonight,
I
think
you
probably
want
to
get
a
staff
two-way
in
on
it
right
now,.
AJ
Yeah,
well,
that's
fine!
I
can
wait
till
like
later
in
the
agenda,
but
yeah
I'd
like
to
know
about
that,
because
I'm
hearing
that
the
that
the
high-rise
housing
is
not
going
to
happen
for
a
long
time
based
on
the
recommendation
as
it
is
today
because
it
just
doesn't
pencil.
So
I'd
like
to
know.
AL
Mayor,
you
are
you
asking
for
a
response
to
this
so
councilmember
robertson?
We
haven't
seen
the
final
copy
of
that
economic
analysis.
There
are
a
number
of,
as
you
understand,
a
number
of
variables
that
affect
development
and
and
the
economics
around
development
timing,
land
value,
construction,
materials
costs,
etc.
AL
I
think
what
we
have
in
the
draft
code
is
something
that
achieves
the
development
potential
that
the
council
is
seeking
in
east
maine,
and
the
development
agreement
provides
a
path
should
the
economics,
I
guess
that
provides
additional
flexibility
to
respond
to
changing
and
economics
and
demand
for
market
demand
for
different
uses,
etc.
AL
So
I
guess
we
could
go
on
for
probably
many
hours
talking
about
all
of
those
variables
and
I'm
not
sure
that
that
would
be
productive
use
of
time.
I
think
there
are
options
here
that
really
allow
that
flexibility
to
adjust
to
them
to
the
market
as
it
changes,
and
I
think
the
proposal
in
the
draft
land
use
code
with
the
suggested
amendments
that
really
provides
incentive
to
develop
early,
because
I
think
it
does
provide
a
strong
economic
base
for
for
that
to
occur.
AJ
Funny
I
only
asked
because
on
the
presentation
decided
to
the
city's
code
as
if
this
is
100
percent
in
line
with
market,
when
I
know
there's
another
report
that
says
something
different,
I
haven't
seen
it,
but
I've
heard
about
it.
So
that's
why
I
wanted
to
know
about
it.
So
I
guess
I'll
just
close
by
saying
on
these
topics.
AJ
I
support
the
3320
with
the
da
option,
but
I'd
like
this
middle
and
and
112
heights
to
be
built
in,
and
I
think
that
we
should
have
a
minimum
housing
of
20
percent,
not
75
percent
higher
than
any
other
zone
in
the
city
at
35.
Thanks.
AJ
AD
G
On
yes,
thank
you
mayor.
I
support
option
b
from
the
staff
recommendation.
I
just
want
to
confirm
that
to
go
to
the
400
feet
that
potentially
will
trigger
zipa.
Is
that
right?
G
A
AL
Correct
so
the
recommendation
to
go
above
the
300
to
320
feet
with
mechanical
using
the
development
agreement
really
allows
for
that
to
occur
and
the
necessary
environmental
or
civil
review
to
occur
as
part
of
the
dea
process.
Should
the
developer
want
to
go
to
the
hype
above
the
buy
right
allowance
of
300
or
320
feet?
So
that's
correct.
G
Okay
and
then
my
second
question
is
in
the
letter
that
we
got,
it
did
talk
about
the
the
housing
minimum
housing
and
the
timing,
so
as
part
of
going
to
the
400
feet,
it
is,
would
that
be
in
a
d8,
a
time
where
there
could
be
discussion
about
the
tiering
effect
of
the
timing
of
the
housing
units?
Because
when
we
open
a
d.a,
then
we
look
at
to
gain
some
benefits
for
the
developer.
What
the
public
benefit
would
be
for
the
city.
AL
That's
right,
that's
the
basic
kind
of
approach
in
the
development
agreement
is
really
that
exchange
that
occurs.
It's
there's
additional
benefit
to
the
developer,
with
an
exchange
of
appropriate
public
benefit
in
return,
and
there
is
significant
discretion
in
how
that
public
benefit
is
defined.
AL
Council
has
been
clear
that
affordable
housing
is
really
the
primary
target,
but
again
as
part
of
those
changes
to
the
proposal,
the
development
proposal
that
are
not
aligned
with
the
base
code.
That's
where
that
discussion
would
happen
at
council
direction.
G
AP
Sure
so,
council
members
on
the
the
draft
code
allows
for
a
maximum
building
height
of
230,
but
it
sounds
like
we're
really
focused
on
option
b.
So
if
the
height
were
set
at
300
feet,
that
would
apply
for
the
east
main
tod
high
district,
so
everywhere
from
main
street
to
southeast
six,
except
for
within
50
feet
of
112
within
50
feet
of
112.
The
building
height
would
be
reduced
to
70
feet
everywhere
else.
They
could
build
up
to
300
feet.
AP
So
the
stakeholder
request
is
asking
that,
where
we
allow
for
70
foot
tall
buildings
to
be
placed
near
112th
increase
that
to
90
feet,
and
then
they
would
like
another
band
of
buildings
to
allow
for
heights
to
gradually
get
taller.
As
you
move
closer
to
405,
so
the
middle
height
would
be
160
and
then
as
you're
adjacent
to
114.
AP
That's
where
you
would
see
the
400
foot
tall
building
heights
in
application.
We
have.
This
is
a
relatively
small
area,
and
so
we
have
concern
just
with
the
kind
of
the
amount
of
variation
in
height
and
just
from
an
application
of
the
code
standpoint,
and
it
does
kind
of
lock
in
a
very
kind
of
rigid
way
of
distributing
height
along
the
site
which,
which
could
be
problematic
just
for
future
development
and
limiting
kind
of
flexibility.
But
that's
that's
still.
AP
If
that's
directed
by
council,
we
can
always
adjust
the
the
draft
code
to
allow
for
that
middle
band.
But
right
now
we're
not
proposing
a
middle
band.
We're
going
straight
from
112,
lower
heights
to
the
max
height
everywhere
else.
G
Okay,
so
as
part
of
the
da
available
to
modify,
we
could
add
language
that
says
along
112
as
part
of
the
da
to
modify
that
we
would
be
willing
to
consider
up
to
90
feet.
AL
The
the
again,
the
d.a,
as
directed
by
the
council
in
the
last
discussion,
really
provides
the
opportunity
to
amend
or
essentially
depart
from
all
provisions
of
the
east
mainland
east
coast.
So
the
answer
the
quick
answer.
That
question
is
yes
again.
We
would
need
to
look
at
how
that
applies
or
how
that
looks
in
the
development
context
that's
being
proposed
and
what
the
public
benefit
or
public
gain
is
from
that
adjustment.
G
Okay,
so
you're
saying
we
don't
actually
have
to
name
it
as
one
of
the
things
that
are
available
to
modify
in
a
da
it
would
already
be.
It
would
already
be
one
of
the
things
that
could
be
discussed.
G
H
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah,
I'm
okay
with
I'm
gonna
pick
and
choose
a
little
bit
here
too,
on
option
b,
I'm
okay
with
the
max
building
height
of
the
three
three
twenty.
However,
I
think
we
had
it
right
in
option
a
in
the
original
draft
lucas,
so
thirty
percent
of
the
minimum
housing
and
then
seventy
five
percent
of
the
public
amenity.
AL
B
Yeah,
I
would
do
that
okay,
so
then
the
third
column
is
affordable,
housing,
amenity
amenity
and
again
I
want
you
to
look
at
what
staff
has
recommended
and
I'll
call
on
you
and
tell
me
if
you're
going
with
what
staff
recommends
or
if
you
have
a
different
idea.
So
council
member
lee,
let's
start
with
you.
D
I
think
I
agree
with
the
councilmember
robertson
in
terms
of
you
know
having
a
d.a,
it's
our
intention,
but
the
question
is
whether
it's
going
to
be
reflecting
in
flexibility
for
the
developed
developers,
look
at
the
market
condition
or
not.
If
we
are
tying
the
hands
of
the
developer,
you
know
rather
than
market
condition,
which
would
determine
whether
the
evolver
can
actually
do
the
project.
D
If
we
don't
do
that,
you
know
and
we're
not
going
to
have
a
project
and
they're
not
going
to
do
the
project
unless
they
know
you
know
the
flexibility
can
accommodate
the
market
condition
of
moving
forward.
So
without
that
information,
I
can't
I
can't
you
know.
W
D
B
Okay,
that's
fine
councilmember
barksdale.
B
Okay,
hold
on
I'm
just
writing
things
down
here:
councilmember
robertson,.
B
AJ
B
B
There
you
go
okay,
so
you
can
see
the
staff
recommendation
in
green.
So
do
you
go
with
staff
recommendation,
or
do
you
go
with
something
different?
B
I'm
going
to
start
with
myself,
because
I
have
a
something
to
something
different
that
we
haven't
really
discussed,
and
I'm
going
to
say
that
for
the
non-residential
I
would
and
for
the
residential
actually
I'd
like
to
add
a
concept
of
what
I
would
call
a
deed
in
lieu
option,
in
addition
to
staff's
recommendation,
which
would
mean
that
the
developer
could
deed
a
portion
of
their
land
to
a
non-profit
to
fulfill
their
affordable
housing
requirement.
B
B
They
would
be
able
to
make
their
goal,
so
that
is
what
I
would
like
to
do:
a
staff
recommendation
with
a
deep
and
lou
option
for
residential
and
non-residential.
AM
AL
So
the
mayor
would
like
to
provide
a
quick
response,
so
the
the
deed
in
lieu
is
a
concept
that
we
really
haven't
really
developed.
Yet
it's
an
interesting
concept.
AL
Admittedly,
it
is
something
that
that
would
need
some
thought
and
calibration
when
you're
thinking
about
kind
of
what's
the
land
value,
how
many
affordable
housing
units
would
you
expect
the
timing
of
the
delivery
for
those
particular
units
as
far
as
alignment
with
the
requirements
for
having
on
premise,
development,
etc.
So
this
is
a
concept
that
again
we
would
need
to
spend
some
time
exploring
and
developing.
AL
We
haven't
got
this
concept
elsewhere
in
the
city
or
it's
a
concept
that
really
could
be
promoted
as
something
to
explore
as
part
of
a
development
agreement
in
in
considering
the
public
benefit
that
we're
trying
to
obtain
during
that
process,
then
we
would
have
again
back
to
the
economics
that
are
kind
of
in
play
at
the
in
the
moment,
so
more
accurate
information
to
really
explore
the
underlying
benefits
not
only
to
the
public's
on
the
public
side,
but
also
achievability
for
the
developer.
To
actually
accomplish
that
result.
AL
So
again,
an
interesting
concept
can't
share
a
lot
of
information,
since
we
haven't
really
had
much
of
a
chance
to
explore
that
or
investigate
best
practices
that
might
be
out
there
in
this
particular
option,
but
something
that
may
be
very
viable
as
part
of
public
benefit.
I
Yeah
I'll
just
say,
it
sounds
like
an
interesting
concept
for
a
couple
of
reasons
to
me:
one
is
our
affordable
housing
providers
to
to
the
mayor's
point,
to
tend
to
build
the
deeper
affordability
for
affordable
housing,
but
also
it
sounds
like
it
would
also
stay
on
the
property,
as
opposed
to
a
fee
in
lieu
right.
Is
that
right
too?
So,
okay,.
B
Okay,
councilmember
robertson.
AJ
Okay,
so
like
that
some
of
us,
some
council
members,
have
been
like
you
may
or
have
been
thinking
out
of
the
box.
I
appreciate
that
here
I
support
having
the
fianlu
for
non-residential,
as
staff
recommends.
I
also
support
the
idea
about
a
deed
in
lieu
as
long
as
it's
voluntary,
and
I
think
that
that
would
be
something
that
would
go
into
a
dda.
AJ
If
you
look
at
the
appraisal
of
the
land
value
the
then
the
deed
in
lieu
size
and
the
percentage
of
the
minimum
housing
requirements
that
it's
satisfied
that
could
be
established
by
development
agreement,
so
we
don't
need
to
necessarily
have
it
all
figured
out
now.
I
don't
want
it
to
hang
up
progress
on
this
land
use
code
amendment,
but
I
I'm
supportive
of
the
idea
of
that
and,
like
I
said,
I
could
go
on
a
da,
but
otherwise
option
b
is
fine
with
me.
H
F
D
D
You
know
I
mean
sounds
great.
We
give
them
another
option,
but
I
I
want
to
hear
you
know.
I
won't
even
hear
the
stops
that
doesn't
know
it's
just
fascinating,
interesting
ideas
and
what's
going
to
happen,
I
don't
know
from
the.
I
have
not
heard
from
the
developer
whether
it's
a
good
idea
or
a
bad
idea.
Remember
without
the
developer's
input
that
that
doesn't
make
sense
too.
B
Got
it
all
right,
so
we
have
a
majority
going
with
staff
recommendation
and
examining
the
concept
of
a
deed
in
lieu.
So
now
we'll
go
to
the
floor
plate
size.
Thank
you.
You
can
see
in
green
the
staff
recommendation
with
the
stakeholders
request
below.
So
you
can
give
tell
me
if
you're
going
with
staff's
recommendations,
stakeholders
recommendation
or
something
in
between
so
councilmember
robertson.
AJ
Microphone
on
so
something
in
between,
I
would
say
on
that,
so
on
the
residential.
I
I've
always
been
really
confused
as
to
why
we
have
an
unlimited
floor
plan.
At
least
I
I
guess
I
should
ask
staff
the
code.
The
draft
code
used
to
allow
unlimited
floor
plate
up
to
80
feet,
but
if
you're
gonna
be,
but
so,
if
you
build
exactly
80
feet,
you
could
have
unlimited
floor
plate,
but
if
you
build
above
80
feet,
you
step
back
at
40..
Is
that
the
way
it's
still
drafted.
AP
AJ
AP
Robertson,
yes,
so
the
current
draft
is
is
stated
that
way.
It's
modeled
after
bell
red,
which
also
allows
for
unlimited
floor
plates
up
to
80
feet
for
buildings
that
are
only
80
feet.
So
once
you
tick
into
the
tower
category,
that's
when
you
start
to
have
some
of
those
floor.
Plate
reductions
happen.
Okay,.
AJ
AJ
So
the
type
of
housing
that
you
can
build
in
the
shorter
term
period
is
either
the
wood
construction,
which
is
90
feet
or
the
light
gauge
steel
which
is
120,
and
so
it
never
has
made
sense
to
me
that
if
you
want
to
go
even
a
foot
above
80,
all
of
a
sudden,
you
cut
your
density
at
40
feet
and
above
so.
What
I
would
like
to
do
is
not
what
staff
recommended
or
what
the
stakeholder
wants
is
I'd
like
to
allow
unlimited
up
to
80,
which
is
what
it
is
today.
AJ
But
if
you
go
above
80
to
120,
you
don't
have
to
neck
in
at
40
you
neck
in
at
80..
I
think
that
that's
a
much
more
reasonable
approach
and
it's
a
way
that
you're
going
to
end
up
with
more
housing
units.
So-
and
it
also
makes
it
much
more
financially
feasible
to
build
the
housing,
because
the
heavy
gauge
steel
is
just
not
gonna
pencil
for
a
long
time
light
gauge
steel
may
not
even
pencil,
but
90
foot
wood
probably
will
and
we
can
get
those.
AJ
But
if
we
cut
off
a
big
chunk
of
the
building
at
40
feet,
we
won't
so
that
extra
10
feet,
I
don't
think,
should
be
or
30
feet
shouldn't
be
penalized
on
the
non-residential.
The
I
think
the
larger
floor
plates
are.
Okay,
I'm
I'm
good
with
the
stakeholder
request,
and
I
would
say
that
this
is
these
are
both,
I
think,
very
consistent
with
the
housing
round
table
and
the
housing
round
table.
They
want
25
000
square
foot
commercial
plates
in
the
base
code.
AJ
I
guess
for
the
top
floor
between
80
and
150.
I
think
that
that's
fair
the
stakeholder
is
asking
for
26
25
is
fine.
We
just
want
this.
This
development
to
actually
generate
the
kind
of
density
in
housing
and
commercial
that
we're
planning
for
so
is
that
mayor.
Can
you
tell
me
is
my
where
I
am
on
this
clear
to
you.
I
don't
want
to
be
communicating
well
or.
AJ
B
Oh
okay,
okay!
Well,
all
right!
I'm
just
picking
and
choosing
yeah.
You
need
a
motion
to
extend
the
meeting.
Oh
I'll
move.
AJ
AJ
B
Okay,
all
right
council
members
on.
G
I'd
like
to
understand
a
bit
more
about
these
differences,
because
I'm
reading
the
the
top
middle
base
versus
what
council
member
robertson's
talking
about
so
right
now
recommend
option
a
is
that
it
starts
necking
at
the
80
feet
above.
Is
that
correct
on
the
non-residential
so
below
that
it
is
unlimited
or
it's
not
I'm
just
making
sure
I
understand
if.
G
AP
So
the
the
stakeholder
request,
let
me
just
make
sure
I'm
not
misrepresenting
this.
Yes,
so
the
stakeholder
request,
we
will
have
the
same
base
and
the
same
middle,
but
they
would
like
to
increase
the
top
to
26
000
square
feet.
AP
So
one
of
the
factors
in
in
recommending
the
floor,
plate
sizes
or
a
couple
of
them
actually,
so
we
looked
at
the
existing
codes
in
bellevue,
so
bell
red
and
downtown
where
we
do
have
towers
and
we
do
have
floor
plate
limits
and
we
tried
to
align
with
kind
of
what
we're
seeing
elsewhere
in
the
city.
We
also
heard
direction
from
council
to
use
downtown
olby
south,
and
then
we
also
had
some
guiding
principles
way
back
that
that
wanted
or
encouraged
for
larger
floor
plates
within
the
east
main
district.
AP
So
with
those
considerations
we
landed
at
what
downtown
will
be
south
has,
which
is
some
of
the
largest
floor
plates
for
non-residential
development,
which
is
what
you're
seeing
here
in
this
graphic.
It
does
come
down
to
also
just
a
an
aesthetic
component
to
it,
and
so,
at
least
in
the
downtown.
A
lot
of
the
emphasis
was
on
providing
more
slender
towers,
to
increase
kind
of
light
and
air
to
sidewalks,
as
well
as
open
spaces
and
then
providing
some
interesting
building
form
that
could
be
viewed
from
a
distance.
AP
So
we
feel
that
the
downtown
all
be
south
really
hit
that
on
the
mark
and
makes
sense
for
east
maine,
which
is
what
that
recommendation
is
reflective
of.
G
Okay,
so
I'm
inclined
to
support
the
stakeholder
requests,
because
these
are
maximums,
it
doesn't
mean
that
they
wouldn't
stay
within
the
20
000
square
foot
floor
plate
and
I
believe
architects
are
very
innovative
and
creative
to
create
the
kind
of
look
and
feel
that
we
would
also
find
acceptable.
So
I
would
be
in
open
to
on
the
to
supporting
the
stakeholder
request.
F
I
think
that
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
going
to
the
stakeholder's
request.
I
think
the
the
push
is
going
to
be
the
maximum
and
the
building
will
be
just
a
basically
a
setback,
no
stat,
no
setbacks
or
step
backs
at
the
base,
unlimited
above
40.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
unit,
a
very
plain
just
building
that
we've
tried
other
buildings
in
town
are
not
doing
that
these
days.
I
don't
know
I
just
I
and
we
have
the
d.a
available
to
modify.
F
F
More
aesthetic
view
of
aspects
of
it-
and
I
think,
just
basically
saying
kind
of
build
whatever
you
want
to
build
is
not
very
healthy
in
the
long
run,
and
I
I
think
the
others,
the
rest
of
the
city
seems
to
do
well
with
basically
what
option
a
talks
about,
but
I
would
like
I
would
like
some
more
information
brought
back
in
some
charts
and
look
at
this.
So
we
really
know
what
we're
talking
about.
B
I
will
give
you
between
now
and
when
staff
brings
it
back,
you
can
work
with
staff
to
get
the
information
you
need
to
make
a
full
vote
when
it
comes
back.
Okay,
okay,
good
council,
member
lee.
I
B
I
yeah
I'm
with
you.
I
want
to
be
in
on
those
meetings
with
staff
to
get
more
information.
If
anybody
else
would
let
staff
know
okay,
yes,
okay,
so
we
have
a
majority
of
people
looking
at
the
stakeholders
requests
with
a
little
caveat
to
get
more
information
on
on
staff,
on
the
implications
of
that.
B
B
Okay,
so
you
see
staff
recommendation
there
and
I
know
that
they
wanted
to
be
able
to
go
outside
of
the
to
do
a
d.a
without
triggering
any
of
the
requirements
that
we
have
set
up
for
the
other
properties,
and
I
guess
I
would
just
like
to
say
I
would
like
them
to
trigger
either
a
fee
in
lieu
or
a
deed
in
lieu
if
they
want
to
go
beyond
if
they
want
to
go
beyond
the
mat,
what
we're
allowing
before
a
da
would
be
triggered
so
that
that
would
be
my
recommendation.
F
I
I
agree
with
what
you
just
said.
I
think
that's
that's
a
really
good
way
to
go
to
this,
and
I
think
it
would
actually
provide
more
flexibility.
B
Okay,
yeah,
it
does
okay,
councilmember
lee.
N
D
B
Okay,
councilmember
barksdale.
AJ
I
I
just
have
a
couple
of
questions.
I
think
I'm
with
option
b,
but
so-
and
this
is
for
nick
or
mike
or
whomever
so
right
now,
bellevue
club
is
built
with
a
0.5
f.a.r
across
the
entire
site.
Is
that
right.
AJ
Okay,
so
well
I
mean,
as
far
as
the
zone
doesn't
change,
there's
no
split
zone.
So
so,
if
we
do
this
with
option
b-
and
they
want
to
take
say-
I
don't
know
how
many
square
feet
they
have
but
say
they
have
a
hundred
thousand
square
feet
and
that's
far
0.5.
They
want
to
go
to
to
2.5
far
because
it's
commercial,
so
they
could
go
to
say
what
would
that
be?
350
thousand
square
feet
anyway
forget
about
the
map.
AJ
They
want
to
increase
five-fold
from
0.5,
far
to
2.5
f.a.r,
and
they
can
do
that
as
long
as
they
continue
to
meet
the
height.
You
know
density
setback,
limits
of
the
base,
zoning
and
there's
nothing
that
they
would
do
in
that.
That
would
trigger
compliance
with
the
other
provisions
of
the
code
like
requiring
housing,
and
things
like
that.
Am
I
right
about
that.
AP
That's
correct:
that's
what
option
b
would
provide
no
block
length
requirements
would
be
required,
no
housing
open
space.
They
could.
AQ
AJ
Okay,
as
long
as
their
use
is
the
consistent
use
today,
which
is
hotel,
accessory
use
and
athletic
club
with
dining
and
stuff.
Okay,
because
I
think
that's
a
use,
we
want
to
continue
to
encourage
and
to
expand,
so
I
am
totally
good
with
option
b
I
just
wanted
to
under
make
sure
I
understood
it
thanks.
B
Are
you,
okay,
with
the
addition
of
the
fee
and
lou
or
deep
in
lou
if
they,
if
they
go
beyond
the
base,
that
they
are
and
require.
AJ
AL
So
they
would
have
to
apply
the
amenities
system
that
that
is
yes
in
the
code
to
get
the
additional
far
bonus
needed
to
expand
beyond
the
base.
So
that
is
correct.
AL
AL
AJ
Okay,
so
yeah,
I
think
that
that
would
happen
anyway.
Mayor
based
on
they'd
have
to
use
the
amenities
they
don't
have
to
use
a
da,
but
they'd
have
to
use
the
amenities
system
you're
right
beyond
the
2.5.
So.
B
H
B
AJ
With
that,
if
they
wanted
to
use
that,
but
I
think
the
deed
in
loop
probably
needs
to
go
through
d.a
if
they
want
to
use
that,
but
otherwise,
if
they
don't
want
to
do
a
d.a,
they
could
do
fianlu
under
the
amenity
system,
as
it
is
today.
As
long
as
we
don't
require
them.
We
consider
this
basically
a
conforming
use.
It's
not
an
expansion
of
a
non-conforming
use.
It's
a
conforming
use
right.
AJ
G
H
Yeah,
I'm
okay,
with
option
b
as
well
and
I'm
in
favor
of
adding
the
deeded
lieu
in
the
da
process
as
well.
B
Thank
you
did
I
yeah
I
weighed
in.
I
think
that
I
think
we
got
everybody:
okay,
so
staff
there's
a
majority
in
support
of
the
option
b
recommendation
and
then
the
last
one
is
the
below
grade
parking
and
I
believe
the
stakeholder
request
is
the
staff
recommendation,
and
so
tell
me
if
you
recommend,
what's
in
green
or
something
else
and
we'll
start
with
council
members
on
I
support.
What's
in
green
okay,
deputy
mayor.
H
Mute
councilmember,
stokes.
F
Burn
that
off
that's
fine,
green.
B
AL
That
is
correct.
Those
are
the
final
topics
that
you
had
previously
previously
identified
that
you
wanted
to
have
additional
discussion
on
and
provide
direction.
So
very
much
appreciate
that
we
are
asking
the
council
to
direct
us
now
to
prepare
a
final
ordinance
for
your
consideration
at
a
future
date.
We
will
work
hard
to
get
that
in
front
of
you
before
we
close
out
the
year,
barring
any
unexpected
interruptions
here.
O
B
A
B
A
AJ
That's
fine,
that's
fine,
councilman
beverly!
I'm
sure
that
staff
would
help
suss
out
the
deed
in
lieu
for
all
of
us,
because
I
think
the
mayor
directed
that
to
come
back
with
it.
I
just
had
a
question.
I
don't
think
we
ever
talked
about
the
timing
of
the
housing
minimum
housing
requirement
and
I
don't
I
don't
know
if
we
want
to
do
that
tonight,
but
there
was
some
phasing
issues
that
I
know
that
the
stakeholders
were
concerned
about
and
with
a
35
set
aside.
AJ
I
think
that
it
would
be
really
fair
to
allow
some
phasing
over
time
like
we
did
with
bellred.
So
did
we
decide
on
that?
Yet
mike.
AL
H
Thank
you
mayor,
no,
just
because
I
I
just
remember
from
the
stakeholders
letter
that
there
was
concern
about
the
elimination
of
the
block,
length
and
perimeter
requirement.
Is
that
something
that
will
still
come
back
to
council
or
where?
Where
does
that
stand,
because
they
specifically
called
that
out
in
their
in
their
letter
that
was
sent
to
staff.
AL
So
the
again,
that
is
a
request
that
council
considered
some
time
back
about
perimeter,
blocks,
etc
and
provided
us
direction
on
the
block
lanes.
This
is
another
item
that
the
development
agreement
when
a
proposal
comes
in
and
the
site
layout
is
provided.
AL
That
really
shows
how
you
know
you
would
achieve
the
kind
of
the
elements
of
the
vision,
the
walkability
kind
of
the
light
and
active
uses,
etc
is
where
that
could
be
considered.
AL
I
guess
it's
a
a
bit
concerning,
as
we
thought
about
that,
if
you
don't
have
any
requirement
for
access
or
blocks
to
actually
break
the
site
up
and
make
it
permanent
for
access
and
visual
interest,
etc,
we
might
get
very
large
bulky
buildings
as
a
result
of
that.
So
again,
the
staff
recommendation
on
that
would
be
to
address
it
as
part
of
the
development
agreement
process
and
not
erase
the
requirements
for
some
forms
of
blocks
to
create
that
permeability
into
the
property
and
light
and
access.
D
Yes,
yes,
I
do.
Thank
you.
Allow
me
to
do
that
because,
as
a
sport
up,
the
developer
has
specifically
requested.
You
know
and
asked
for
three
items
to
be
addressed,
and
one
is
the
the
timing
of
the
affordable
housing
and
I
think
councilmember
robertson
bought
it
up
and
mentioned
it,
and
the
other
one
is
the
block
length
for
the
retail
you
know,
which
is
essential
in
their
decision,
whether
whether
the
project
can
be
made.
I
think
if
we
really
closely
of
what
they
they
requested.
D
It's
a
very
you
know
consequential.
You
know,
so
I
believe
that
those
issues
need
to
be
addressed
and
they
have
not.
So
I
want
to
know
if
the
staff
plan
to
come
back
with
that.
F
Well,
I
don't
have
any
questions,
I
think
that
and-
and
we
could
talk
about
it
here
and
we
really
wouldn't
get
anything
resolved.
It's
an
it's
a
very
good
or
important
issue.
F
But
essentially,
if
it
comes
into
the
d.a,
then
they
can
discuss
it
there.
But
I
I
don't
think
we
have
enough
information
to
really
understand
I'm
not
in
any
way
for
anybody
any
developer,
and
I
think
we
have
really
good
developers
here,
just
saying:
well,
they
know
best
and
whatever
they
want
to
do
is
fine
and
so-
and
I
don't
think
they
want
that
either.
So,
let's
let's
get
some
information
on
this
and
it
may
be
a
good
thing
or
may
not,
but
I
don't
think
we're
ready
to
make
a
decision
tonight.
G
So
I
believe
that
that's
what
the
da
is
for-
and
I
support
moving
forward
with
getting
this
land
use
adopted
as
soon
as
possible.
We
could
spend
the
next
six
months
talking
about
these
additional
things
and
not
get
going.
My
sense
is
that
there's
a
belief
that
there's
a
strong
likelihood,
the
developer
is
going
to
want
to
be
interested
in
getting
to
the
higher
building
heights,
which
means
that
we're
going
to
be
in
the
ga
already,
and
so,
let's
make
sure
that
we
have
that
venue
for
these
discussions.
Thank
you.
AJ
Thanks
so
well,
the
phasing
to
me
is
not
so
much
a
d,
a
issue,
although
timing
can
certainly
be
addressed
in
a
da
but
da
allows
flexibility
for
a
give.
AJ
It's
a
give
and
a
get
and
to
me
the
timing,
isn't
that
they're
going
to
not
do
the
minimum
housing,
it's
just
when
they're
going
to
do
it,
so
I
don't
know
that
they
should
have
to
do
a
give
for
that,
and
that's
why
I
thought
it
might
belong
in
the
land
use
code,
the
they're
asking
for
instead
of
having
30
percent
oh
60,
the
residential
built
when
60
of
the
non-res
is
built.
AJ
They
want
to
be
able
to
phase
it
at
60,
80
and
100
if,
if
staff
doesn't
think
that
their
staff
could
change
it,
so
to
put
that
in
the
code,
that's
great,
if
not,
I
would
like
some
amendment
language
to
be
brought
forward,
so
I
can
propose
that,
and
maybe
some
information
from
staff
addressing
the
the
downsides
from
staff
perspective
of
allowing
that
phasing
versus
you
know
the
upside,
I'm
it's
not
about
getting
out
of
any
requirements,
it's
just
about
allowing
them
to
phase
the
development.
AJ
There's
a
big
piece
of
property
allowing
them
to
phase
the
development
as
they
see
fit
within
cash
flow,
because
it
makes
sense
to
build
certain
properties
that
start
cash
flowing
faster
than
you
build
others,
and
we
did
allow
that
in
bellred
we
allowed
them
actually
to
build
a
whole
lot
of
commercial
before
they
had
to
step
up
with
residential.
This
is
kind
of
a
little
bit
even
less
aggressive
than
that.
I
just
would
like
to
allow
some
phasing
in
the
landscape.
B
AL
Excuse
me,
we
haven't
had
a
chance
to
really
evaluate
the
proposal
that
we
received
yesterday
from
weak
properties
on
on
phasing,
if
council,
member
robertson
or
other
council
members
would
like
us
to
explore
that
and
create
an
alternative,
as
we
bring
back
the
final
ordinance
for
adoption.
We
could
certainly
work
on
something
like
that,
and
maybe.
AJ
AL
AJ
B
Yeah,
so
we
have
one
more
ordinance
that
is
kind
of
a
procedural
thing,
because
we've
already
reviewed
this
and
agreed
to
bring
it
forward,
which
is
what
we
are
doing
tonight,
we're
bringing
it
forward.
Mr
miyake,
would
you
like
to
introduce.
V
Us
chair
chairman
ordinance,
us
6616,
removes
limitations
on
the
number
of
unrelated
persons
that
may
occupy
a
dwelling
unit
and
just
by
way
of
background,
the
landis
code
is
in
response
to
recent
state
legislation
senate
bill
5235.
V
That
will
replace
the
interim
official
control
that
was
adopted
in
july
by
a
study
session
was
held
on
this
back
in
october
and
again
joining
us.
This
evening
is
both
mike
brennan,
tristan,
tanis
and
caleb
miller,
both
from
the
development
services
department.
To
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
before
you
take
action
on
this
ordinance.
AL
Thank
you,
mr
miyaki
good
evening
again,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council
marathon
tonight
we're
getting
there.
So
we
do
have
one
more
very
brief
staff
report
here
on
this
residential
occupancy
code
amendment
and
I'm
going
to
hand
it
to
trisna
and
and
caleb
to
walk
through
the
powerpoint
presentation.
We
are
seeking
council
action
on
this
item
this
evening,
prisoner.
AM
Thanks
mike
good
evening
again,
everyone
next
slide,
please
caleb
for
action
tonight.
As
mike
noted,
we
are
asking
council
to
adopt
this
luca
ordinance
number
6616
next
slide,
so
we
have
a
really
short
presentation
for
you.
We
have
we'll
start
with
an
explanation
of
the
state
legislation
just
to
ground
us
on
why
we're
here
and
why
this
luca
is
necessary.
AM
AM
So
next
slide,
please,
as
I'm
sure
you
all
recall
from
when
we
were
in
front
of
you
for
study
session.
This
luca
is
responsive
to
senate
bill
5235,
which
added
a
new
section
in
the
rcw.
AM
The
bill
became
effective
on
july
25th
and
council
decided
to
adopt
an
interim
official
control
to
place
the
city
into
immediate
conformance
with
the
state
law.
The
ioc
is
effective
until
january,
but
if
adopted
by
council
tonight,
this
new
governance
will
replace
and
repeal
that
ioc
with
that
next
slide.
Please
I'm
going
to
turn
over
the
presentation
to
caleb
to
just
briefly
go
through
the
remaining
components.
AQ
AQ
The
land
use
code
governs
both
land
museum
development
in
the
city,
and
these
regulations
include
orbits
number
6223,
which
we
discussed
during
the
study
session,
which
regulates
different
types
of
rental,
housing
options
and
then
transient
lodging
are
short-term
vacation,
rentals
and
then
parking
and
circulation
on
private
property
are
also
regulated
under
the
land
use
code
residents
are
still
encouraged
to
report
any
possible
violations
of
these
codes
using
the
mybellevue
app
or
by
contacting
the
code.
AQ
AQ
Additionally,
the
single
housekeeping
unit
definition
currently
has
a
requirement
that
all
occupants
be
on
a
single
lease.
This
is
supposed
to
be
removed
as
it
is
a
regulation
of
occupancy
that
is
not
related
to
health
or
safety,
and
then
there
are
specific
housing
uses
with
their
own
occupancy
limits
in
the
land
use
code
which
are
proposed
for
removal.
AQ
AQ
Finally,
in
for
rooming
houses,
they
are
currently
limited
to
a
maximum
of
four
rooms,
rented
to
five
individuals.
The
occupancy
limit
is
proposed
for
removal,
but
the
four
room
limit
will
remain
under
this
loop.
AQ
These
amendments
are
really
intended
to
just
be
narrow
in
scope
and
just
comply
with
the
state
law
as
needed
in
terms
of
public
engagement.
For
this
luca,
there
are
two
modes
first
for
the
process,
four
requirements,
which
are
the
all
the
required
noticing
and
the
public
hearings,
and
additionally,
a
city
web
page
was
created
for
members
of
the
public
to
learn
more
about
the
luca
and
keep
track
of
its
progression.
AQ
Staff
contact
was
also
provided
if
any
questions
or
comments
at
this
time,
one
public
comment
has
still
only
has
still
been
received
by
staff,
and
this
comment
was
just
to
express
concerns
over
increased
activity,
parking
demand
and
traffic
as
a
result
of
this
luca.
But
again
I
would
point
to
the
existing
health
and
safety
codes,
as
well
as
just
our
general
regulations,
to
prevent
some
of
those
concerns
from
arising.
AQ
Next,
here's
the
schedule
of
the
lucas
progression
we're
at
the
tail
end.
Here.
The
planning
commission
held
a
single
study
session,
followed
by
a
public
hearing
and
recommendation
in
october,
and
then
the
ebcc
did
have
a
chance
to
review
this
luca
during
their
october
5th
courtesy
hearing,
if
adopted
tonight.
This
luca
will
again
be
presented
to
evcc
tentatively
scheduled
for
december
7th
for
a
public
hearing
and
for
them
to
take
action
and
approve
or
disapprove.
AQ
Finally,
as
tristan
noted,
this
luca
ordinance
does
include
repeal
language
for
the
ioc
that
was
adopted
in
july,
and
so
this
this
look,
if
adopted,
will
replace
the
ioc,
and
we
do
expect
this
to
happen
ahead
of
the
expiration
and
so
with
that
staff
does
recommend
adoption
of
ordinance
number
6616
and
I'll
pass
it
back
to
the
mayor.
B
Thank
you.
There
we
go.
We
have
been
discussed
this
quite
a
bit
in
the
past.
This
is
supposed
for
final
action.
Are
there
any
comments
or
questions
or,
if
not,
we?
I
will
ask
for
a
motion.
Deputy
mayor.
H
H
Okay,
well,
I
do
have
one
question
here
and
then
I
may
have
a
comment
depending
on
the
answer
of
that
question.
But
can
you
remind
me
again
some
of
the
ebcc
comments
and
where
they
stand
on
this
and
what
we
can
expect,
what
kind
of
action
they
may
take
on?
Was
it
december
7th.
AQ
I
don't
need
to
answer
that.
Transaction
ebcc
generally
had
the
same
comments
as
what
we
heard
from
the
one
public
commenter
just
increased
activity
and
traffic
and
parking
they,
I
wouldn't
say
they
gave
any
sort
of
indication
that
I
could
see
that
they
would
vote
either
way
but
yeah.
They
generally
raised
the
same
concern.
What
we've
heard?
Okay!
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
any
other
comments
or
questions
to
councilman
robertson.
AJ
AL
So
we
don't
have
a
we
don't
have
that
added
to
our
our
current
work
plan
is
as
a
narrow
code
amendment
that
would
be
considered
and
we're
starting
work
next
year
on
the
next
update
to
the
I
codes.
So
we
would
include
evaluation
of
that
entire
code
as
part
of
that
next
series
of
code
updates
that
would
occur
so
that
work
would
begin
later
next
year
and
I
forgot
the
the
adoption
date,
but
I
believe
it's
in
july
of
2023.
