ALREADY TOLD US IN 2025 ANALYSIS

65
00:02:39,792 --> 00:02:41,060
THAT THE CITY DOES NOT OWN 

66
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:46,533
ENOUGH LAND TO MAKE A MEANINGFUL

00:02:46,533 --> 00:02:48,134
DIFFERENCE IN TREE CANOPY EVEN 

68
00:02:48,134 --> 00:02:49,536

69
00:02:49,536 --> 00:02:50,637

70
00:02:50,637 --> 00:02:52,338

WHICH RIGHT NOW IS PAVED AND 

74
00:02:59,546 --> 00:03:02,982
TURNS IT INTO DENSE FOREST, 

75
00:03:02,982 --> 00:03:04,284
BRINGING SHADE, COOLING, AND 

76
00:03:04,284 --> 00:03:09,222
HEALTH BENEFITS TO PEOPLE WHERE 

77
00:03:09,222 --> 00:03:10,557

TREES TO OUR CENTERS, SEATTLE 

79
00:03:11,457 --> 00:03:12,825
WILL PILE MORE HARM ON 

80
00:03:12,825 --> 00:03:13,459
OVERBEARING COMMUNITIES. THE 

81
00:03:13,459 --> 00:03:17,230
CURRENT PLAN LOOKS IN THE 

82
00:03:17,230 --> 00:03:18,932

00:03:25,138 --> 00:03:25,939
SHADE TREES CANNOT GROW ON 

87

ROOFTOPS OR IN PLANTER BOXES. 

88
00:03:27,507 --> 00:03:28,575
OUR AMENDMENT ENSURES THAT A 

89
00:03:28,575 --> 00:03:31,377
SMALL PERCENTAGE OF EACH LOT HAS

90
00:03:31,377 --> 00:03:32,378

OF CITIES LIKE ATLANTA AND

AFTERNOON, CITY COUNCILMEMBERS, 

100
00:03:53,833 --> 00:03:57,770
AND WELCOME BACK TO THE COMP 

101
00:03:57,770 --> 00:03:59,038
PLAN. LONG JOURNEY. AS WE GET 

102
00:03:59,038 --> 00:04:01,040
INTO THE FINAL ZONING PHASES , 

103
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,442
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HEIGHTS AND

104
00:04:02,442 --> 00:04:05,678
DIFFERENT PARTS OF NEIGHBORHOODS

105
00:04:05,678 --> 00:04:07,380
IN PART OF THESE URBAN CENTERS. 

106
00:04:07,380 --> 00:04:11,150
MY NAME IS COLLEEN. I REPRESENT 

107
00:04:11,150 --> 00:04:12,485
FIRST COMMUNITY COUNCIL, AND WE 

108
00:04:12,485 --> 00:04:13,653
HAVE BEEN AT THIS SINCE THE 

109
00:04:13,653 --> 00:04:14,754
INCEPTION. WE ONLY HAVE ONE 

110
00:04:14,754 --> 00:04:16,589
REQUEST, AND THAT IS FOR A FIVE 

111
00:04:16,589 --> 00:04:20,560
BLOCK SWAP OF ZONING FROM 

112
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,194
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ALONG 

113
00:04:21,194 --> 00:04:22,595
NORTHEAST 45th STREET. THERE IS 

114
00:04:22,595 --> 00:04:28,034
A SPARE THAT COMES OFF SAND 

115
00:04:28,034 --> 00:04:28,868
POINT WAY INTO RESIDENTIAL 

116
00:04:28,868 --> 00:04:30,036
NEIGHBORHOOD. IT IS USED AS A 

117
00:04:30,036 --> 00:04:31,170
TURNAROUND FOR THE BUSES AND A 

118
00:04:31,170 --> 00:04:32,205
RESTROOM BREAK FOR BUS DRIVERS. 

119
00:04:32,205 --> 00:04:39,412
THE REST OF THE STREETS ARE 

120
00:04:39,412 --> 00:04:40,246
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. 15 ALONG 

121
00:04:40,246 --> 00:04:41,714
THAT SIDE, AND MANY OF THEM ARE 

122
00:04:41,714 --> 00:04:42,682
HISTORIC. WE ONLY HAD BUS 

123
00:04:42,682 --> 00:04:43,716
SERVICE THERE FIVE YEARS AGO 

124
00:04:43,716 --> 00:04:44,884
BECAUSE IT IS NOT HEAVILY USED. 

125
00:04:44,884 --> 00:04:46,452
SO WE ASK THAT WE CONSIDER THAT 

126
00:04:46,452 --> 00:04:47,754
AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT THAT 

127
00:04:47,754 --> 00:04:49,055
PARTICULAR UP ZONE FOR A LOW 

128
00:04:49,055 --> 00:04:49,922
RISE IMPORTANT -- APARTMENT 

129
00:04:49,922 --> 00:04:54,927
BUILDING ON A VERY STEEP SLOPE. 

130
00:04:54,927 --> 00:04:56,062
ONE OF THE SUICIDE HILLS IN 

131
00:04:56,062 --> 00:04:57,263
NORTHEAST SEATTLE. VERY STEEP. 

132
00:04:57,263 --> 00:04:58,998
SO IT IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO PUT 

133
00:04:58,998 --> 00:05:01,968
LR THREE IN THAT LOCATION. SO 

134
00:05:01,968 --> 00:05:02,969
THAT PARTICULAR HILL. ALSO THE 

135
00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:04,504
BEST PART OF IT IS ACTUALLY 

136
00:05:04,504 --> 00:05:05,638
BEING ABLE TO USE THOSE UNITS 

137
00:05:05,638 --> 00:05:08,341
THAT WOULD BE RELOCATED INTO THE

138
00:05:08,341 --> 00:05:11,310
COMMERCIAL AREAS TO BREATHE SOME

139
00:05:11,310 --> 00:05:13,446
LIFE BACK INTO IT. WE'VE GOT 

140
00:05:13,446 --> 00:05:14,447
TWO CENTERS IN LAUREL HURST. 

141
00:05:14,447 --> 00:05:17,183
THEY ARE PRETTY DEAD. SO HAVING 

142
00:05:17,183 --> 00:05:20,386
HOUSING INTEGRATED WITH EVEN 

143
00:05:20,386 --> 00:05:21,521
HIGHER ZONES. WE ARE ALL FOR 

144
00:05:21,521 --> 00:05:25,625
THAT. WE HAVE 1270 UNITS COMING 

145
00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:27,160
ON BOARD IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS

146
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,628
OF HOUSING WE BELIEVE IN MORE 

147
00:05:28,628 --> 00:05:31,331
HOUSING AND WE NEEDED IN OUR 

148
00:05:31,331 --> 00:05:32,532
CITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK 

149
00:05:32,532 --> 00:05:34,033
AND I KNOW YOU CAN BALANCE 

150
00:05:34,033 --> 00:05:35,268
GROWTH WITH A LITTLE BIT OF 

151
00:05:35,268 --> 00:05:35,902
NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER. THANK 

152
00:05:35,902 --> 00:05:36,569
YOU VERY MUCH. 

153
00:05:36,569 --> 00:05:47,013

OVER 30 YEARS VANCOUVER ADDED 

157
00:05:56,255 --> 00:05:57,490
MORE DENSITY THAN ANY CITY IN 

158
00:05:57,490 --> 00:05:58,324
NORTH AMERICA, THOUGH HOUSING 

159
00:05:58,324 --> 00:05:59,525
GREW THREE TIMES MORE THAN ITS 

160
00:05:59,525 --> 00:06:00,893
POPULATION, VANCOUVER IS THE 

161
00:06:00,893 --> 00:06:05,164
THIRD MOST UNAFFORDABLE CITY IN 

162
00:06:05,164 --> 00:06:06,199
THE WORLD. REASONS MIGHT BE 

163
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:07,133
EXPLAINED BY NEW RESEARCH FROM 

164
00:06:07,133 --> 00:06:08,067
THE LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS 

165
00:06:08,067 --> 00:06:08,968
AND OTHERS FINDING LAND 

166
00:06:08,968 --> 00:06:10,236
REGULATION DOES NOT MATERIALLY 

167
00:06:10,236 --> 00:06:15,308
AFFECT HOUSING PRICES. HIGH 

168
00:06:15,308 --> 00:06:16,342
INCOME AND LAND SPECULATION ARE 

169
00:06:16,342 --> 00:06:17,477
THE MAIN DRIVERS. WE KNOW 

170
00:06:17,477 --> 00:06:18,544
SEATTLE HAS A HIGH CONCENTRATION

171
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:21,914
OF HIGH INCOME EARNERS . NOW 

172
00:06:21,914 --> 00:06:22,749
DEREGULATION IS ATTRACTING LAND 

173
00:06:22,749 --> 00:06:23,850
SPECULATORS. INVESTOR PURCHASES 

174
00:06:23,850 --> 00:06:29,288
JUMPED 37% IN 2025 AND SEATTLE 

175

00:06:50,977 --> 00:06:52,145
TRANSFORMING ENORMOUS WEALTH TO 

186
00:06:52,145 --> 00:06:57,750
PROPERTY OWNERS. THERE IS LITTLE

187
00:06:57,750 --> 00:06:58,785
UNDISPUTED PROOF THAT THE EXTENT

188
00:06:58,785 --> 00:07:00,086
OF DEREGULATION THE CITY IS 

189
00:07:00,086 --> 00:07:00,653
UNDERTAKING WILL MATERIALLY 

190
00:07:00,653 --> 00:07:03,656
IMPROVE HOUSING COSTS . THERE 

191
00:07:03,656 --> 00:07:05,024
MAY BE BETTER SOLUTIONS SUCH AS 

192
00:07:05,024 --> 00:07:06,025
LAND VALUE CAPTURE WHERE THE 

193
00:07:06,025 --> 00:07:07,126
CITY SECURES A PORTION OF THE 

194
00:07:07,126 --> 00:07:08,194
WEALTH IT CREATES THREW UP 

195
00:07:08,194 --> 00:07:12,398
ZONING TO INVEST IN LOW INCOME 

196
00:07:12,398 --> 00:07:16,435
HOUSING. WE MAY NEED TO LOOK AT 

197
00:07:16,435 --> 00:07:18,137
REAL CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS TO 

198
00:07:18,137 --> 00:07:19,071
AFFORDABILITY. IN THE MEANTIME, 

199
00:07:19,071 --> 00:07:20,206
NEW EVIDENCE SUGGESTS WE CAN 

200
00:07:20,206 --> 00:07:25,044
SCALE BACK UP ZONING AND RESTORE

201
00:07:25,044 --> 00:07:25,678
IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 

202
00:07:25,678 --> 00:07:26,946
WITHOUT MAKING HOUSING MORE 

203
00:07:26,946 --> 00:07:30,883
UNAFFORDABLE. 

204
00:07:30,883 --> 00:07:41,260
>> NEXT WE HAVE GREG. 

205
00:07:41,861 --> 00:07:42,995
>> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY

206
00:07:42,995 --> 00:07:43,996
TO SPEAK. MEMBERS OF THE 

207
00:07:43,996 --> 00:07:45,565
COUNCIL, THANKS FOR ALL YOUR 

208
00:07:45,565 --> 00:07:50,870
WORK ON THE COMP PLAN. CONGRATS 

209
00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:52,305
ON PASSING IT LAST YEAR. I AM 

210
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:53,539
HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE HOLDEN 

211
00:07:53,539 --> 00:07:54,540
NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE COMP PLAN. 

212
00:07:54,540 --> 00:07:55,741
IT IS WEST SEATTLE. ABOUT TWO 

213
00:07:55,741 --> 00:07:57,310
MILES. IT IS WHERE GATEWOOD AND 

214
00:07:57,310 --> 00:08:00,513
HIGHWOOD OR HIGH POINT COME 

215
00:08:00,513 --> 00:08:09,488
TOGETHER. IT IS CURRENTLY A MIX 

216
00:08:09,488 --> 00:08:10,723
OF NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL ALONG

217
00:08:10,723 --> 00:08:11,624
35th. THE ARTERIAL, WHICH IS 

218
00:08:11,624 --> 00:08:12,692
GREAT. MIXED HOUSING TYPE. SMALL

219
00:08:12,692 --> 00:08:13,492
BUSINESSES. ALL OF THAT 

220
00:08:13,492 --> 00:08:15,127
CONTINUES IN THE COMP PLAN. BUT 

221
00:08:15,127 --> 00:08:16,429
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE COMP 

222
00:08:16,429 --> 00:08:18,431
PLAN IS THE AREAS OFF OF 35th , 

223
00:08:18,431 --> 00:08:19,165
WHICH ARE CURRENTLY ZONED 

224
00:08:19,165 --> 00:08:19,799
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL, ARE 

225
00:08:19,799 --> 00:08:30,309
PROPOSED TO GO TO LOW RISE 50 

226
00:08:32,645 --> 00:08:33,746
FOOT TALL STRUCTURES. THIS IS A 

227
00:08:33,746 --> 00:08:34,680
NEIGHBORHOOD OF 50 TO 

228
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:35,348
100-YEAR-OLD SINGLE-STORY, 1 1/2

229
00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:36,315
STORY HOMES, AND I'M CONCERNED 

230
00:08:36,315 --> 00:08:37,583
LIKE MANY OF MY NEIGHBORS ABOUT 

231
00:08:37,583 --> 00:08:38,885
THE TALL BUILDINGS COMING IN, 

232
00:08:38,885 --> 00:08:39,619
ESPECIALLY WITH JUST FIVE FOOT 

233
00:08:39,619 --> 00:08:40,786
LOT SETBACKS NEXT TO US. WE 

234
00:08:40,786 --> 00:08:41,787
THINK THE CHARACTER OF THE 

235
00:08:41,787 --> 00:08:42,588
NEIGHBORHOOD IS VALUABLE. IT'S 

236
00:08:42,588 --> 00:08:44,023
ALSO ONE OF THE FEW PLACES I 

237
00:08:44,023 --> 00:08:45,324
THINK IS STILL ATTRACTING 

238
00:08:45,324 --> 00:08:55,868
HOMEBUYERS WHEN YOU PUNCH YOUR 

239
00:08:57,403 --> 00:08:58,471
BUDGET INTO REDFIN OR ZILLOW, IT

240
00:08:58,471 --> 00:08:59,772
IS ONE OF THE PLACES THAT COMES 

241
00:08:59,772 --> 00:09:00,873
UP AS MORE AFFORDABLE IN THE 

242
00:09:00,873 --> 00:09:01,941
CITY. LOSING SOME OF THOSE 

243
00:09:01,941 --> 00:09:02,942
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES IS GOING TO 

244
00:09:02,942 --> 00:09:03,943
BE DETRIMENTAL. I APPLAUD THE 

245
00:09:03,943 --> 00:09:05,177
MIX OF HOUSING TYPES COMING IN 

246
00:09:05,177 --> 00:09:06,579
UNDER THE COMP PLAN , BUT I 

247
00:09:06,579 --> 00:09:07,847
THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO THINK 

248
00:09:07,847 --> 00:09:08,881
ABOUT SOME OF THOSE EXISTING 

249
00:09:08,881 --> 00:09:10,082
SMALLER HOMES AND WHAT IS LOST. 

250
00:09:10,082 --> 00:09:11,150
ADDITIONALLY, I'M NOT SURE THE 

251
00:09:11,150 --> 00:09:12,518
STREETS AND UTILITY STRUCTURE 

252
00:09:12,518 --> 00:09:17,390
ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THE LOW RISE

253
00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:18,424
THAT IS PROPOSED. WE ARE PRETTY 

254
00:09:18,424 --> 00:09:19,525
NARROW STREETS AND WE RELY ON 

255
00:09:19,525 --> 00:09:20,526
THE PARKING SPACES FOR PASSING 

256
00:09:20,526 --> 00:09:21,761
ZONES. I THINK OUR SEWERS IN 

257
00:09:21,761 --> 00:09:22,828
THAT AREA ARE EIGHT INCH 

258
00:09:22,828 --> 00:09:23,829
SANITARY SEWERS. I'M NOT SURE 

259
00:09:23,829 --> 00:09:24,764
THEY ARE SIZED TO ACCOMMODATE 

260
00:09:24,764 --> 00:09:27,066
THE INCREASED HOUSING. SO AS YOU

261
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:28,467
ARE NOW IN THE FIXED STAGE OF 

262
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:29,468
THE PLAN BEGINNING TO IMPLEMENT 

263
00:09:29,468 --> 00:09:31,170
IT, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAKE A 

264
00:09:31,170 --> 00:09:34,240
LOOK AT THE AREAS 35th AND 

265
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,341
PRESERVE THE EXISTING 

266
00:09:35,341 --> 00:09:37,977
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL. THANK 

267
00:09:37,977 --> 00:09:39,512
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. 

268
00:09:39,512 --> 00:09:40,479
APPRECIATE IT. 

269
00:09:40,479 --> 00:09:50,957
>> NEXT UP , WE HAVE TINA . 

270
00:09:53,526 --> 00:09:54,927
>> LET'S SEE IF THIS WILL WORK.

271
00:09:54,927 --> 00:09:59,532
CAN YOU HEAR ME? GREAT. FIRST OF

272
00:09:59,532 --> 00:10:00,399
ALL, THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY 

273
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:01,834
TO BE HERE. I'M REALLY HAPPY TO

274
00:10:01,834 --> 00:10:03,069
BE SHARING MY THOUGHTS WITH YOU.

275
00:10:03,069 --> 00:10:04,704
I AM A RESIDENT OF DOWNTOWN 

276
00:10:04,704 --> 00:10:06,806
SEATTLE , BUT MORE THAN THAT, I 

277
00:10:06,806 --> 00:10:10,076
LIVE IN DOWNTOWN SEATTLE. THE 

278
00:10:10,076 --> 00:10:16,282
DOWNTOWN SUB AREA PLAN PROPOSES 

279
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:16,916
SIGNIFICANT RESIDENTIAL GROWTH 

280
00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:17,616
IN SEATTLE'S REASONABLE GROWTH 

281
00:10:17,616 --> 00:10:18,918
CENTER. THAT GROWTH MUST ALIGN 

282
00:10:18,918 --> 00:10:20,653
WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN'S 

283
00:10:20,653 --> 00:10:21,854
COMMITMENTS TO COMPLETE 

284
00:10:21,854 --> 00:10:24,757
NEIGHBORHOODS , SAFETY, CLIMATE 

285
00:10:24,757 --> 00:10:27,593
RESILIENCE, AND HUMAN SCALE 

286
00:10:27,593 --> 00:10:29,195
DESIGN. RIGHT NOW, THE PLAN 

287
00:10:29,195 --> 00:10:29,895
INCREASES CAPACITY WITHOUT 

288
00:10:29,895 --> 00:10:32,365
CLEARLY TYING IT TO ENFORCEABLE 

289
00:10:32,365 --> 00:10:37,203
LIVABILITY STANDARDS, AND THAT 

290
00:10:37,203 --> 00:10:37,803
IS'S MISALIGNMENT. DENSITY 

291
00:10:37,803 --> 00:10:39,105
ALONE DOES NOT CREATE A 

292
00:10:39,105 --> 00:10:40,406
NEIGHBORHOOD. WE NEED MEASURABLE

293
00:10:40,406 --> 00:10:43,442
STANDARDS FOR LIGHT , TOWER 

294
00:10:43,442 --> 00:10:44,510
SPACING, FAMILY SIZED HOUSING, 

295
00:10:44,510 --> 00:10:49,749
AND USABLE OPEN SPACE. INCREASED

296
00:10:49,749 --> 00:10:51,083
DENSITY ALSO BRINGS REAL 

297
00:10:51,083 --> 00:10:52,385
LAND-USE IMPACTS ON 

298
00:10:52,385 --> 00:10:53,786
INFRASTRUCTURE, PUBLIC SPACE, 

299
00:10:53,786 --> 00:10:56,856
AND DAILY LIVABILITY. THESE 

300
00:10:56,856 --> 00:10:58,157
PRESSURES MUST BE ANTICIPATED 

301
00:10:58,157 --> 00:11:02,862
AND PLANNED FOR IN ADVANCE , NOT

302
00:11:02,862 --> 00:11:05,164
ADDRESSED AFTER THE FACT. 

303
00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:05,965
PEDESTRIAN PRIORITY MUST BE 

304
00:11:05,965 --> 00:11:14,073
ENFORCEABLE AND CLIMATE AND 

305
00:11:14,073 --> 00:11:15,207
DESIGN STANDARDS MUST SCALE WITH

306
00:11:15,207 --> 00:11:16,242
GROWTH. AS DOWNTOWN CONTINUES TO

307
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:17,576
GROW AS A 24/7 RESIDENTIAL 

308
00:11:17,576 --> 00:11:18,077
NEIGHBORHOOD, COMMUNITY 

309
00:11:18,077 --> 00:11:18,611
PARTICIPATION SHOULD BE 

310
00:11:18,611 --> 00:11:21,480
CONTINUOUS AND EMBEDDED, 

311
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:22,682
INCLUDING A STANDARDIZED 

312
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:24,750
MUNICATION TOOL AT THE PROJECT 

313
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:27,319
LEVEL SO RESIDENTS HAVE CLEAR 

314
00:11:27,319 --> 00:11:29,655
VISIBILITY INTO DEVELOPMENT 

315
00:11:29,655 --> 00:11:32,858
IMPACTS. AND I WOULD ASK ONE KEY

316
00:11:32,858 --> 00:11:36,796
QUESTION. IF PIKE PLACE MARKET 

317
00:11:36,796 --> 00:11:38,064
IS MOVED OUT OF THE DOWNTOWN 

318
00:11:38,064 --> 00:11:40,833
ZONE, WHO BENEFITS ? WHO LOSES 

319
00:11:40,833 --> 00:11:43,436
IN TERMS OF ECONOMIC VITALITY , 

320
00:11:43,436 --> 00:11:49,809
CULTURAL IDENTITY AND EXPERIENCE

321
00:11:49,809 --> 00:11:50,710
OF RESIDENTS. THIS IS A 

322
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:53,746
GENERATIONAL PLAN. GROWTH MUST 

323
00:11:53,746 --> 00:11:54,413
COME WITH ACCOUNTABILITY, 

324
00:11:54,413 --> 00:11:55,414
LIVABILITY, AND PROACTIVE 

325
00:11:55,414 --> 00:11:59,351
PLANNING. 

326
00:11:59,351 --> 00:12:09,829
>> NEXT UP, WE HAVE DAVID . 

327
00:12:11,964 --> 00:12:13,566
>> GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS 

328
00:12:13,566 --> 00:12:15,401
DAVE . I'M A RESIDENT OF 

329
00:12:15,401 --> 00:12:16,902
DISTRICT 5. IN THE PRESENTATION 

330
00:12:16,902 --> 00:12:21,907
TODAY , YOU WILL BE SHOWN 

331
00:12:21,907 --> 00:12:22,842
DRAWINGS OF WHAT THE NEW 

332
00:12:22,842 --> 00:12:23,709
NEIGHBORHOOD AND URBAN CENTERS 

333
00:12:23,709 --> 00:12:25,044
WILL LOOK LIKE IN PHASE TWO OF 

334
00:12:25,044 --> 00:12:27,146
THE COMP PLAN. THESE ARE QUITE 

335
00:12:27,146 --> 00:12:28,547
BEAUTIFUL. WHAT CITY WOULDN'T 

336
00:12:28,547 --> 00:12:30,516
WANT THESE ? BUT UNFORTUNATELY 

337
00:12:30,516 --> 00:12:32,284
THEY DO NOT SHOW YOU THE MANY 

338
00:12:32,284 --> 00:12:32,852
SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES THAT 

339
00:12:32,852 --> 00:12:34,153
CURRENTLY SIT IN THESE 

340
00:12:34,153 --> 00:12:37,189
LOCATIONS. HOMEOWNERS WILL NOW 

341
00:12:37,189 --> 00:12:38,390
HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO FIVE 

342
00:12:38,390 --> 00:12:40,526
STORY APARTMENT BUILDINGS AND 

343
00:12:40,526 --> 00:12:41,227
COMMERCIAL SITES AS THEIR 

344
00:12:41,227 --> 00:12:42,595
NEIGHBORS. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT 

345
00:12:42,595 --> 00:12:45,998
LIVES OVER A HALF-MILE FROM THE 

346
00:12:45,998 --> 00:12:47,266
SOON TO OPEN LIGHT RAIL STATION 

347
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:49,335
AT NORTHEAST 130th STREET. HER 

348
00:12:49,335 --> 00:12:51,036
PROPERTY IS SUBJECT TO THIS UP 

349
00:12:51,036 --> 00:12:56,942
ZONING. SHE HAS LIVED IN HER 

350
00:12:56,942 --> 00:12:58,711
HOUSE FOR OVER 40 YEARS. QUIET 

351
00:12:58,711 --> 00:12:59,979
RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD . BUT 

352
00:12:59,979 --> 00:13:01,313
NOW SHE AND HER NEIGHBORS ARE AT

353
00:13:01,313 --> 00:13:03,082
A LOSS WHAT TO DO. I WOULD GUESS

354
00:13:03,082 --> 00:13:05,651
THAT NO COUNCILMEMBERS OR 

355
00:13:05,651 --> 00:13:07,186
PERSONS FROM OB CD MAKING 

356
00:13:07,186 --> 00:13:08,053
PRESENTATIONS TODAY WILL HAVE 

357
00:13:08,053 --> 00:13:12,124
SUCH AN IMPACT ON THEIR LIVING 

358
00:13:12,124 --> 00:13:13,425
CONDITIONS. I ASK THAT YOU TRULY

359
00:13:13,425 --> 00:13:14,894
UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF YOUR 

360
00:13:14,894 --> 00:13:17,563
DECISIONS ON LONGTIME SEATTLE 

361
00:13:17,563 --> 00:13:18,430
RESIDENTS. THEY PAY TAXES AND 

362
00:13:18,430 --> 00:13:19,765
DESERVE BETTER THAN THIS. THERE 

363
00:13:19,765 --> 00:13:21,033
SEEMS TO BE THIS BELIEF THAT 

364
00:13:21,033 --> 00:13:27,640
DENSITY BY ITSELF WILL SOLVE ALL

365
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,440

EARLIER, VANCOUVER TRIED TO DO 

368
00:13:30,609 --> 00:13:31,877

00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:35,915
DENSITY, AND THEIR HOUSING 

371
00:13:35,915 --> 00:13:42,121

LOWRISE ZONES AND NEIGHBORHOOD 

430
00:15:51,116 --> 00:15:51,784
CENTERS AND TRANSIT CORRIDORS. 

431
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:54,653
ADDING MORE HOMES IS KEY TO 

432
00:15:54,653 --> 00:15:55,621
ADDRESSING OUR DEEP HOUSING 

433
00:15:55,621 --> 00:16:00,125
SHORTAGE AND CRITICAL TO THE 

434
00:16:00,125 --> 00:16:00,659
ASSOCIATED AFFORDABILITY 

435
00:16:00,659 --> 00:16:01,794
CHALLENGES. I URGE YOU AS YOU 

436
00:16:01,794 --> 00:16:02,428
ARE CONSIDERING POTENTIAL 

437
00:16:02,428 --> 00:16:03,729
AMENDMENTS TO THE CENTERS AND 

438
00:16:03,729 --> 00:16:05,464

443
00:16:15,441 --> 00:16:16,542
THAT SWAP THE USELESS SIDE YARDS

444
00:16:16,542 --> 00:16:23,582
OR REAL COURTYARDS WHERE TREES 

445
00:16:23,582 --> 00:16:24,950
HAVE SPACE TO GROW AND FAMILIES 

446
00:16:24,950 --> 00:16:26,485
CAN THRIVE. IT IS A SMART WAY TO

447
00:16:26,485 --> 00:16:28,520
ADD MORE DENSITY IN OUR LOWRISE 

448
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,055

449
00:16:30,055 --> 00:16:31,190

PASSIVE HOUSE AND MASS TIMBER 

454
00:16:37,963 --> 00:16:38,597
CONSTRUCTION. THESE ARE 

455
00:16:38,597 --> 00:16:39,565
INNOVATIVE GREEN BUILDING 

456
00:16:39,565 --> 00:16:42,234
TECHNIQUES. PASSIVE HOUSE 

457
00:16:42,234 --> 00:16:42,801
CONSTRUCTION DRAMATICALLY 

458
00:16:42,801 --> 00:16:47,606
REDUCES ENERGY USE AND ALSO 

459
00:16:47,606 --> 00:16:48,440
CREATES MUCH BETTER INTERIOR 

460
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,377
LIVING CONDITIONS FOR RESIDENTS 

461
00:16:51,377 --> 00:16:56,749

MORE HOMES NEAR TRANSIT READ 

472
00:17:12,865 --> 00:17:14,099

548
00:20:19,851 --> 00:20:20,652
A FEE INSTEAD OF INCLUDING 

549
00:20:20,652 --> 00:20:21,486
AFFORDABLE UNITS. THE CITY 

550
00:20:21,486 --> 00:20:22,688
ESTIMATES OVER A QUARTER OF THE 

551
00:20:22,688 --> 00:20:23,922
HOMES HERE SIT EMPTY OR ARE 

552
00:20:23,922 --> 00:20:26,558
LIVED IN ONLY OCCASIONALLY. IT 

553
00:20:26,558 --> 00:20:27,559
SEEMS THAT WE ARE BUILDING 

554
00:20:27,559 --> 00:20:31,663
HOUSING AS AN INVESTMENT, NOT 

555
00:20:31,663 --> 00:20:32,664
FOR FILLING CRITICAL NEEDS. THE 

556
00:20:32,664 --> 00:20:34,199
QUESTION IS, HOW WILL THIS BE 

557
00:20:34,199 --> 00:20:35,901
ANY DIFFERENT WITH THE NEW UP 

558
00:20:35,901 --> 00:20:39,438
ZONING ? WHAT WE ARE DOING 

559
00:20:39,438 --> 00:20:40,372
HASN'T BEEN WORKING WELL 

560
00:20:40,372 --> 00:20:41,373
ENOUGH. BEFORE WE KNEW ZONING 

561
00:20:41,373 --> 00:20:42,708
CHANGES, WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND 

562
00:20:42,708 --> 00:20:44,476
WHAT IS GOING WRONG AND HOW WE 

563
00:20:44,476 --> 00:20:49,748
MIGHT FIX IT. IT IS NOT ENOUGH 

564
00:20:49,748 --> 00:20:51,083
TO SAY WE ENCOURAGE OR SUPPORT 

565
00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:51,650
VIBRANT NEIGHBORHOODS WITH 

566
00:20:51,650 --> 00:20:53,018
AFFORDABILITY. WE NEED TO ACT ON

567
00:20:53,018 --> 00:20:55,120
IT. IF NOT, WE WILL BE 

568
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:57,689
COMPLETELY BLOCKING THE CHANCE 

569
00:20:57,689 --> 00:20:59,091
THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AT ALL FOR

570
00:20:59,091 --> 00:21:00,392
FUTURE GENERATIONS. THANKS FOR 

571
00:21:00,392 --> 00:21:03,929
CONSIDERING THIS. 

572
00:21:03,929 --> 00:21:14,239
>> NEXT UP, WE HAVE STEPHANIE . 

573
00:21:14,239 --> 00:21:16,375
>> HI, MY NAME IS STEPHANIE 

574
00:21:16,375 --> 00:21:19,578
INGRAM . I'M CALLING TODAY TO 

575
00:21:19,578 --> 00:21:20,312
ENCOURAGE CITY COUNCIL TO 

576
00:21:20,312 --> 00:21:30,856
INCLUDE CHANGES TO INSTITUTIONS 

577
00:21:33,592 --> 00:21:35,761
IN LOWRISE ZONES IN PHASE TWO OF

578
00:21:35,761 --> 00:21:36,528
THE COMPANY AND THE PLAN. OUR 

579
00:21:36,528 --> 00:21:37,596
FIRM IS WORKING WITH SEVERAL 

580
00:21:37,596 --> 00:21:38,397
SMALL COMMUNITY GROUPS AND 

581
00:21:38,397 --> 00:21:39,398
NONPROFITS HOPING TO DO CAPITAL 

582
00:21:39,398 --> 00:21:40,198
PROJECTS TO IMPROVE THEIR 

583
00:21:40,198 --> 00:21:41,199
EXISTING FACILITIES OR BUILD NEW

584
00:21:41,199 --> 00:21:42,401
FACILITIES ON LAND THEY OWN. AS 

585
00:21:42,401 --> 00:21:43,502
IT STANDS, THREE LAND-USE ISSUES

586
00:21:43,502 --> 00:21:44,069
ARE CREATING SIGNIFICANT 

587
00:21:44,069 --> 00:21:45,070
BARRIERS TO THESE GROUPS. THE 

588
00:21:45,070 --> 00:21:45,904
FIRST IS REQUIREMENTS THAT 

589
00:21:45,904 --> 00:21:46,705
STATES INSTITUTIONS CANNOT BUILD

590
00:21:46,705 --> 00:21:48,140
OR EXPAND IF THEY ARE WITHIN 600

591
00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:49,174
FEET OF ANOTHER INSTITUTION. A 

592
00:21:49,174 --> 00:21:50,142
BRIEF REVIEW OF THE BRIGHTON 

593
00:21:50,142 --> 00:21:51,143
NEIGHBORHOOD AS AN EXAMPLE 

594
00:21:51,143 --> 00:21:52,744
INDICATES NONE OF THE EXISTING 

595
00:21:52,744 --> 00:22:00,485
SMALL INSTITUTIONS , CHILDCARE 

596
00:22:00,485 --> 00:22:01,186
CENTERS, SENIOR CENTERS, 

597
00:22:01,186 --> 00:22:01,987
COMMUNITY AND CULTURE CENTERS. 

598
00:22:01,987 --> 00:22:03,055
NONE OF THEM ARE ELIGIBLE TO 

599
00:22:03,055 --> 00:22:04,056
EXPAND THEIR FACILITIES DUE TO 

600
00:22:04,056 --> 00:22:06,391
PROXIMITY TO EACH OTHER. THE 

601
00:22:06,391 --> 00:22:07,359
OTHER TWO ISSUES RELATE TO 

602
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:08,160
STRUCTURE DEPTH AND SETBACKS. 

603
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,161
THESE STANDARDS HAVE BEEN 

604
00:22:09,161 --> 00:22:16,001
UPDATED FOR RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS

605
00:22:16,001 --> 00:22:17,536
IN THE FIRST PHASE OF THE COMP 

606
00:22:17,536 --> 00:22:18,470
PLAN BUT NOT FOR INSTITUTIONS. 

607
00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:19,404
THIS LIMITS THE ABILITY TO 

608
00:22:19,404 --> 00:22:20,772
MAXIMIZE USE OF THEIR LAND AND 

609
00:22:20,772 --> 00:22:21,907
LIMITS OF THE GROUND FLOOR AREA 

610
00:22:21,907 --> 00:22:23,308
MOST SUITED FOR THIS TYPE OF 

611
00:22:23,308 --> 00:22:24,176
USE. SIMPLY MATCHING THE 

612
00:22:24,176 --> 00:22:24,943
LAND-USE REQUIREMENTS IN PLACE 

613
00:22:24,943 --> 00:22:26,044
FOR RESIDENTIAL USES IN THESE 

614
00:22:26,044 --> 00:22:26,745
AREAS WOULD REMOVE SIGNIFICANT 

615
00:22:26,745 --> 00:22:29,648
BARRIERS FOR DEVELOPMENT IN 

616
00:22:29,648 --> 00:22:30,315
SMALL COMMUNITY PHASE 

617
00:22:30,315 --> 00:22:31,650
INSTITUTIONS. COMMUNITIES IN THE

618
00:22:31,650 --> 00:22:39,324
SOUTH END RELY ON SMALL 

619
00:22:39,324 --> 00:22:40,258
INSTITUTIONS FOR SERVICES, WALK 

620
00:22:40,258 --> 00:22:40,992
ABILITY, AND AFFORDABILITY. AS 

621
00:22:40,992 --> 00:22:41,727
WE ENCOURAGE DENSITY AND 

622
00:22:41,727 --> 00:22:42,661
AFFORDABILITY, WE SHOULD ALSO BE

623
00:22:42,661 --> 00:22:43,729
SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY 

624
00:22:43,729 --> 00:22:45,030
INSTITUTIONS ARE THEY ARE A CORE

625
00:22:45,030 --> 00:22:45,764
PIECE OF WHAT MAKES 

626
00:22:45,764 --> 00:22:46,365
NEIGHBORHOODS VIBRANT AND 

627
00:22:46,365 --> 00:22:47,666
EXCITING. WE ARE ASKING THAT THE

628
00:22:47,666 --> 00:22:50,335
COUNCIL TAKES INSTITUTIONS INTO 

629
00:22:50,335 --> 00:22:50,936
CONSIDERATION WHEN DEVELOPING 

630
00:22:50,936 --> 00:22:51,636
PHASE TWO OF THE COMP PLAN AS A 

631
00:22:51,636 --> 00:22:52,938
CRUCIAL PART OF HELPING OUR CITY

632
00:22:52,938 --> 00:22:56,842
GROW. THANK YOU SO MUCH. 

633
00:22:56,842 --> 00:23:07,352
>> NEXT UP, WE HAVE McKENZIE. 

634
00:23:10,756 --> 00:23:11,523
>> COULD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL 

635
00:23:11,523 --> 00:23:12,524
MEMBERS. THANK YOU FOR THE 

636
00:23:12,524 --> 00:23:13,692
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TODAY. I'M

637
00:23:13,692 --> 00:23:14,693
A RESIDENT OF WEST SEATTLE. I'M

638
00:23:14,693 --> 00:23:16,128
HERE TO URGE YOU TO READ -- 

639
00:23:16,128 --> 00:23:16,962
RECONSIDER THE PROPOSAL -- 

640
00:23:16,962 --> 00:23:24,603
ADJACENT TO LINCOLN PARK IN WEST

641
00:23:24,603 --> 00:23:25,403
SEATTLE. TWO REASONS. ONE, 

642
00:23:25,403 --> 00:23:26,438
PRESERVING PUBLIC ACCESS TO THIS

643
00:23:26,438 --> 00:23:27,506
RESOURCE AND PROTECTING SAFETY 

644
00:23:27,506 --> 00:23:28,807
FOR THE COMMUNITY IN THIS AREA. 

645
00:23:28,807 --> 00:23:29,441
LINCOLN PARK IS ONE OF 

646
00:23:29,441 --> 00:23:30,342
SEATTLE'S MOST IMPORTANT PUBLIC

647
00:23:30,342 --> 00:23:31,343
SPACES WHERE FAMILIES GATHER, 

648
00:23:31,343 --> 00:23:32,077
KIDS PLAY, AND THE COMMUNITY 

649
00:23:32,077 --> 00:23:36,381
CONNECTS. BIRTHDAY PARTIES , ET 

650
00:23:36,381 --> 00:23:37,382
CETERA. IT PROVIDES ACCESS TO 

651
00:23:37,382 --> 00:23:38,183
PLAYGROUNDS, TRAILS, THE WADING 

652
00:23:38,183 --> 00:23:40,552
POOL, AND IT'S AN ESSENTIAL AND

653
00:23:40,552 --> 00:23:43,989
FREE RESOURCE FOR SUPPORTING 

654
00:23:43,989 --> 00:23:45,190
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH FOR 

655
00:23:45,190 --> 00:23:46,158
THE COMMUNITY. ACCESS FOR THE 

656
00:23:46,158 --> 00:23:49,828
PARK IS ALREADY STRAINED DUE TO 

657
00:23:49,828 --> 00:23:50,862
THE LOGISTICS OF THE FERRY 

658
00:23:50,862 --> 00:23:52,397
TERMINAL AT THE SOUTH END OF THE

659
00:23:52,397 --> 00:23:53,331
PARK. THE FERRY LINE ESSENTIALLY

660
00:23:53,331 --> 00:23:54,065
ELIMINATES PARKING ALONG THE 

661
00:23:54,065 --> 00:23:55,667
WEST SIDE OF THE CORRIDOR TODAY 

662
00:23:55,667 --> 00:23:57,135
AND TRAFFIC IS ROUTINELY BACKED 

663
00:23:57,135 --> 00:24:03,074
UP HERE CAUSING CONGESTION AND 

664
00:24:03,074 --> 00:24:04,176
MORE DIFFICULT CHALLENGES EVEN 

665
00:24:04,176 --> 00:24:04,810
TODAY. PROPOSED REZONING WOULD 

666
00:24:04,810 --> 00:24:05,410
EFFECTIVELY REMOVE REMAINING 

667
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:07,012
PARKING ON THE OTHER SIDE DUE TO

668
00:24:07,012 --> 00:24:07,646
THE INCREASED RESIDENTIAL 

669
00:24:07,646 --> 00:24:09,047
PARKING RESULTING FROM FIVE 

670
00:24:09,047 --> 00:24:12,584
STORY BUILDINGS ALLOWED ALONG 

671
00:24:12,584 --> 00:24:13,652
THIS CORRIDOR. EVEN TODAY, IT 

672
00:24:13,652 --> 00:24:14,820
CAN BE DIFFICULT FOR FAMILIES TO

673
00:24:14,820 --> 00:24:21,026
ACCESS DURING BUSY TIMES WHEN 

674
00:24:21,026 --> 00:24:22,060
THE DEDICATED PARKING LOTS ARE 

675
00:24:22,060 --> 00:24:23,028
FULL AND THE PROPOSAL WOULD 

676
00:24:23,028 --> 00:24:23,862
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE 

677
00:24:23,862 --> 00:24:24,830
CHALLENGE. SAFETY IS ALSO A VERY

678
00:24:24,830 --> 00:24:26,464
SERIOUS CONCERN. ONE DIRECTIONAL

679
00:24:26,464 --> 00:24:27,465
TRAFFIC PATTERN CREATES 

680
00:24:27,465 --> 00:24:28,266
DANGEROUS CONDITIONS FOR DRIVERS

681
00:24:28,266 --> 00:24:29,634
AND CYCLISTS AS WELL AS 

682
00:24:29,634 --> 00:24:34,206
PEDESTRIANS WHO HAVE TO CROSS 

683
00:24:34,206 --> 00:24:35,440
THE STREET WITH SMALL CHILDREN. 

684
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,174
ACCIDENT RATES ALONG THIS 

685
00:24:36,174 --> 00:24:37,008
TRANSIT CORRIDOR ARE ALREADY 

686
00:24:37,008 --> 00:24:37,943
HIGHER COMPARED TO OTHER PARTS 

687
00:24:37,943 --> 00:24:40,612
AND INCREASING DENSITY WILL ONLY

688
00:24:40,612 --> 00:24:42,581
BECOME A PROBLEM. I WORRY THAT 

689
00:24:42,581 --> 00:24:43,882
SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IS IN OUR 

690
00:24:43,882 --> 00:24:47,452
FUTURE IN THIS AREA. THIS IS NOT

691
00:24:47,452 --> 00:24:48,653
JUST ABOUT REZONING. IT IS ABOUT

692
00:24:48,653 --> 00:24:49,788
MAKING EQUITABLE SPACES AND THE 

693
00:24:49,788 --> 00:24:51,490
SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITY. DUE TO 

694
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:56,528
THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES ALONG THIS

695
00:24:56,528 --> 00:24:57,729
PART OF THE TRANSIT CORRIDOR, I 

696
00:24:57,729 --> 00:24:58,697
URGE YOU TO RECONSIDER THIS 

697
00:24:58,697 --> 00:24:59,798
SPECIFIC PART OF THE PROPOSED 

698
00:24:59,798 --> 00:25:01,132
REZONING. ACCESS TO LINCOLN PARK

699
00:25:01,132 --> 00:25:04,302
AND THIS AREA ARE NOT 

700
00:25:04,302 --> 00:25:05,670
COMPROMISED BY THIS PLAN. THANK 

701
00:25:05,670 --> 00:25:07,839
YOU. 

702
00:25:07,839 --> 00:25:18,316
>> NEXT UP, WE HAVE JULIA. 

703
00:25:21,386 --> 00:25:23,054
>> OKAY. CAN YOU HEAR ME? 

704
00:25:23,054 --> 00:25:24,556
>> YES. 

705
00:25:24,556 --> 00:25:28,560
>> YES? CAN YOU HEAR ME? 

706
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,130
>> YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU. 

707
00:25:32,130 --> 00:25:33,365
>> OH, GREAT. OKAY. THANK YOU 

708
00:25:33,365 --> 00:25:34,766
FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK 

709
00:25:34,766 --> 00:25:36,401
WITH YOU TODAY AND FOR YOUR 

710
00:25:36,401 --> 00:25:38,537
ATTENTION. MY NAME IS JULIA. AND

711
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:44,175
I AM A RESIDENT IN THE DOWNTOWN 

712
00:25:44,175 --> 00:25:44,743
CORE AND JUST ECHOING 

713
00:25:44,743 --> 00:25:46,378
EVERYBODY'S COMMENTS SO FAR 

714
00:25:46,378 --> 00:25:48,380
THAT WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THE 

715
00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:51,883
INCREASED RESIDENTIAL DENSITY 

716
00:25:51,883 --> 00:25:53,318
THAT WE ARE PREPARING FOR IN THE

717
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:57,088
DOWNTOWN SUBAREA PLAN AND 

718
00:25:57,088 --> 00:25:57,722
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, CLEAR 

719
00:25:57,722 --> 00:25:58,423
VISIBILITY STANDARDS AND 

720
00:25:58,423 --> 00:26:01,726
ENFORCEABLE COORDINATION AMONGST

721
00:26:01,726 --> 00:26:03,228
THE NUMEROUS CITY, COUNTY, AND 

722
00:26:03,228 --> 00:26:04,095
REGIONAL AGENCIES REALLY NEEDED 

723
00:26:04,095 --> 00:26:06,665
TO MAKE A PLAN SUCCESSFUL. 

724
00:26:06,665 --> 00:26:07,966
TOWARDS THAT END, I ASK YOU TO 

725
00:26:07,966 --> 00:26:13,204
CONSIDER PLANNING FOR A THIRD 

726
00:26:13,204 --> 00:26:14,339
AVENUE A PUBLIC DEVELOPMENT 

727
00:26:14,339 --> 00:26:15,140
AUTHORITY OR OTHER SIMILAR 

728
00:26:15,140 --> 00:26:16,074
UNIFYING COORDINATION ENTITY SO 

729
00:26:16,074 --> 00:26:17,375
THAT THIS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT 

730
00:26:17,375 --> 00:26:22,147
STREET CAN PLAY ITS PART IN 

731
00:26:22,147 --> 00:26:22,847
ACHIEVING THE EQUITABLE, 

732
00:26:22,847 --> 00:26:28,453
LIVABLE, AND RESILIENT FUTURE 

733
00:26:28,453 --> 00:26:29,621
ENVISIONS. AS WE KNOW, THIRD 

734
00:26:29,621 --> 00:26:30,455
AVENUE IS ALREADY HOME TO 

735
00:26:30,455 --> 00:26:31,856
HUNDREDS PREPARING TO RECEIVE 

736
00:26:31,856 --> 00:26:35,093
THOUSANDS MORE. JURISDICTIONAL 

737
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:36,294
AND ENFORCEMENT LANDSCAPES 

738
00:26:36,294 --> 00:26:38,396
BARELY HAMPERS THE VISIBILITY OF

739
00:26:38,396 --> 00:26:42,100
THE [ INAUDIBLE ] NOT TO MENTION

740
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:43,368
ITS USEFULNESS WITH THOUSANDS OF

741
00:26:43,368 --> 00:26:48,473
WORKERS, TRANSIT RIDERS THAT 

742
00:26:48,473 --> 00:26:49,507
PASS THROUGH IT DAILY. THE 

743
00:26:49,507 --> 00:26:50,775
PUBLIC SAFETY AND HEALTH 

744
00:26:50,775 --> 00:26:51,609
CONSEQUENCES OF THIS 

745
00:26:51,609 --> 00:26:52,444
FRAGMENTATION ARE ON FULL 

746
00:26:52,444 --> 00:26:54,145
DISPLAY. AT THE SAME TIME, THIRD

747
00:26:54,145 --> 00:27:00,185
AVENUE IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED AS

748
00:27:00,185 --> 00:27:01,419
A TRANSITION CORRIDOR, BUT IT 

749
00:27:01,419 --> 00:27:03,188
ALSO WHEN COMBINED WITH THIS 

750
00:27:03,188 --> 00:27:04,522
PLENTIFUL CONVERTIBLE AND 

751
00:27:04,522 --> 00:27:06,691
HISTORIC BUILDING STOCK AS WELL 

752
00:27:06,691 --> 00:27:12,564
AS TO ACCOMMODATE MORE -- NOT 

753
00:27:12,564 --> 00:27:13,632
LESS -- AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAN 

754
00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:14,666
OTHER AREAS OF DOWNTOWN. 

755
00:27:14,666 --> 00:27:15,867
HOWEVER, THE SOLUTIONS ARE 

756
00:27:15,867 --> 00:27:19,871
CHALLENGING AND REQUIRE GREATER 

757
00:27:19,871 --> 00:27:26,211
ENGAGEMENTS TYPICAL ZONING AND 

758
00:27:26,211 --> 00:27:26,878
STANDARD GOVERNMENTAL REGIME CAN

759
00:27:26,878 --> 00:27:28,113
PROVIDE. SO WE ASK YOU TO 

760
00:27:28,113 --> 00:27:28,847
CONSIDER INCORPORATING THIS 

761
00:27:28,847 --> 00:27:30,749
CONCEPT OF A THIRD AVENUE OF 

762
00:27:30,749 --> 00:27:32,984
PUBLIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OR 

763
00:27:32,984 --> 00:27:35,353
COMMUNITY ENGAGED ORDINATION 

764
00:27:35,353 --> 00:27:38,156
ENTITY INTO THE DOWNTOWN SUBAREA

765
00:27:38,156 --> 00:27:39,157
PLAN. 

766
00:27:39,157 --> 00:27:42,360
>> THANK YOU, JULIA. NEXT UP, WE

767
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:50,435
HAVE SARAH SCOTT. 

768
00:27:50,435 --> 00:27:53,972
>> HELLO, HELLO. CAN YOU HEAR ME

769
00:27:53,972 --> 00:28:01,446
OKAY? OKAY, GREAT. YES. I JUST 

770
00:28:01,446 --> 00:28:03,214
AM CALLING IN TO COMMENT ON THE 

771
00:28:03,214 --> 00:28:04,449
LOWRISE LR3 AREA. THANK YOU FOR 

772
00:28:04,449 --> 00:28:06,284
LOOKING AT THIS PLAN . AGAIN, 

773
00:28:06,284 --> 00:28:09,220
LOOKING AT IT SO IN-DEPTH. THIS 

774
00:28:09,220 --> 00:28:12,190
IS THE AREA -- A SMALL SECTION 

775
00:28:12,190 --> 00:28:14,826
OF IT ON NORTHEAST 45th BETWEEN 

776
00:28:14,826 --> 00:28:16,094
40th AVENUE NORTH AND 45th 

777
00:28:16,094 --> 00:28:18,029
AVENUE NORTHEAST . IF WE COULD 

778
00:28:18,029 --> 00:28:22,267
PLEASE , PLEASE CONSIDER KEEPING

779
00:28:22,267 --> 00:28:24,035
THAT IN THE SAME PLAN ZONING 

780
00:28:24,035 --> 00:28:26,071
THAT IT CURRENTLY IS. I'M NOT 

781
00:28:26,071 --> 00:28:28,039
ALONE IN THIS REQUEST . THERE IS

782
00:28:28,039 --> 00:28:30,809
A PETITION OF 1500 PEOPLE OR 

783
00:28:30,809 --> 00:28:36,314
MORE . 1500 PEOPLE, WHICH I WAS 

784
00:28:36,314 --> 00:28:37,782
SURPRISED AT MYSELF, WHICH IS 

785
00:28:37,782 --> 00:28:41,686
GREAT , AGREEING AND ASKING FOR 

786
00:28:41,686 --> 00:28:43,088
THIS. SOME OF THE CONCERNS ARE 

787
00:28:43,088 --> 00:28:51,262
THAT THE ENVIRONMENT AS PEOPLE 

788
00:28:51,262 --> 00:28:52,363
TALKED ABOUT EARLIER WITH THE 

789
00:28:52,363 --> 00:28:53,431
TREES. IT IS A CRITICAL AREA. 

790
00:28:53,431 --> 00:28:56,768
THERE ARE NO SERVICES OR SPACE 

791
00:28:56,768 --> 00:28:57,969
FOR SERVICES IN THAT AREA. IT'S

792
00:28:57,969 --> 00:28:59,003
REALLY NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE 

793
00:28:59,003 --> 00:29:01,172
SINGLE-FAMILY HISTORIC HOMES 

794
00:29:01,172 --> 00:29:02,974
THAT ARE JUST ALONG THAT AREA. 

795
00:29:02,974 --> 00:29:11,616
THERE IS NO LIGHT RAIL OR THE 

796
00:29:11,616 --> 00:29:12,717
BUS. IT IS OUTSIDE OF ANY 

797
00:29:12,717 --> 00:29:14,018
REGIONAL, URBAN, OR NEIGHBORHOOD

798
00:29:14,018 --> 00:29:17,889
CENTER. SORRY IF YOU HEAR SOME 

799
00:29:17,889 --> 00:29:19,657
DESPERATION IN MY VOICE. IT IS 

800
00:29:19,657 --> 00:29:22,127
JUST THAT I HAVE LIVED THERE FOR

801
00:29:22,127 --> 00:29:26,931
65 YEARS, AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

802
00:29:26,931 --> 00:29:31,269
AND I LOVE SEATTLE SO MUCH. I 

803
00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:32,537
HAVE SEEN WHAT SOME OF THE 

804
00:29:32,537 --> 00:29:33,738
CHANGES THAT ARE MADE IN SEATTLE

805
00:29:33,738 --> 00:29:35,673
-- HOW THEY HAVE NOT BEEN 

806
00:29:35,673 --> 00:29:37,075
SUCCESSFUL. YES, MANY HAVE BEEN 

807
00:29:37,075 --> 00:29:39,244
SUCCESSFUL. I REALLY AM SO 

808
00:29:39,244 --> 00:29:41,312
APPRECIATIVE OF YOU LOOKING AT 

809
00:29:41,312 --> 00:29:50,788
THIS . THANK YOU SO MUCH. 

810
00:29:50,788 --> 00:30:01,166
>> NEXT UP WE HAVE -- 

811
00:30:08,473 --> 00:30:09,440
>> GOOD AFTERNOON. CAN YOU HEAR 

812
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:09,607
ME? 

813
00:30:09,607 --> 00:30:17,816
>> WE CAN HEAR YOU. 

814
00:30:17,816 --> 00:30:19,250
>> I AM AND TYSON. I'M A 

815
00:30:19,250 --> 00:30:20,418
LONGTIME RESIDENT OF DISTRICT 4 

816
00:30:20,418 --> 00:30:21,753
IN SEATTLE. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR 

817
00:30:21,753 --> 00:30:23,588
WORK ON THE COMP PLAN , WHICH 

818
00:30:23,588 --> 00:30:24,789
ALREADY INCLUDES A REALLY LARGE 

819
00:30:24,789 --> 00:30:25,690
INCREASE IN DENSITY IN OUR 

820
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,258
NEIGHBORHOOD WITH MORE THAN 1000

821
00:30:27,258 --> 00:30:28,259
UNITS UNDERWAY. BEING BUILT AS 

822
00:30:28,259 --> 00:30:31,396
WE SPEAK. AND MORE POTENTIAL 

823
00:30:31,396 --> 00:30:34,265
UNITS ALREADY ZONED FOR. MY 

824
00:30:34,265 --> 00:30:35,767
NEIGHBORS AND I REALLY HAVE ONE 

825
00:30:35,767 --> 00:30:37,635
REQUEST. THERE IS A SHORT 

826
00:30:37,635 --> 00:30:40,972
SEGMENT PROPOSED FOR UP ZONING 

827
00:30:40,972 --> 00:30:47,412
TO LR3 . FOUR BLOCKS OF 

828
00:30:47,412 --> 00:30:48,012
NORTHEAST 45th STREET BETWEEN 

829
00:30:48,012 --> 00:30:49,147
40th AVENUE NORTHEAST AND 45th 

830
00:30:49,147 --> 00:30:50,381
AVENUE NORTHEAST, IT IS REALLY 

831
00:30:50,381 --> 00:30:51,916
NOT SUITABLE FOR SUCH LARGE 

832
00:30:51,916 --> 00:30:52,784
STRUCTURES. INSTEAD, WE WOULD 

833
00:30:52,784 --> 00:30:57,889
LIKE TO REQUEST KEEP ITS CURRENT

834
00:30:57,889 --> 00:30:58,523
ZONING DESIGNATION OF 

835
00:30:58,523 --> 00:30:59,157
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL. THE 

836
00:30:59,157 --> 00:31:00,925
MAIN REASONS FOR THIS ARE THAT 

837
00:31:00,925 --> 00:31:02,760
THIS QUITE SMALL SPUR HAS 

838
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,763
ENVIRONMENTALLY CRITICAL AREAS, 

839
00:31:05,763 --> 00:31:06,764
INCLUDING STEEP SLOPES THAT ARE 

840
00:31:06,764 --> 00:31:09,734
ON THE MAP, AS WELL AS 

841
00:31:09,734 --> 00:31:15,039
SETTLEMENT AREAS. AND THEY ARE 

842
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:16,307
EVEN BALD EAGLES THAT HAVE 

843
00:31:16,307 --> 00:31:17,542
HABITAT IN AREAS. SO IT WOULD BE

844
00:31:17,542 --> 00:31:18,476
VERY DISRUPTIVE TO THE 

845
00:31:18,476 --> 00:31:19,711
ENVIRONMENT. THERE IS NO 

846
00:31:19,711 --> 00:31:25,516
SERVICES . NOT ON BUSINESS. NO 

847
00:31:25,516 --> 00:31:26,184
GROCERY STORE. ANYTHING THAT 

848
00:31:26,184 --> 00:31:29,654
PEOPLE CAN ACCESS THERE. AND THE

849
00:31:29,654 --> 00:31:30,622
TALL BUILDINGS THERE WOULD BE 

850
00:31:30,622 --> 00:31:31,589
VERY JARRING AND REALLY 

851
00:31:31,589 --> 00:31:32,290
INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE CHARACTER 

852
00:31:32,290 --> 00:31:35,260
OF THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD . 

853
00:31:35,260 --> 00:31:40,398
THERE IS NO RAIL OR TRANSIT. 

854
00:31:40,398 --> 00:31:41,866
JUST A BUS TURNAROUND AND A REST

855
00:31:41,866 --> 00:31:43,468
STOP FOR DRIVERS WITH REALLY LOW

856
00:31:43,468 --> 00:31:46,904
RIDERSHIP . IT IS ALSO NOT IN 

857
00:31:46,904 --> 00:31:48,172
ANY RETAIL OR URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD

858
00:31:48,172 --> 00:31:49,374
CENTER. SO AS OTHER SPEAKERS 

859
00:31:49,374 --> 00:31:53,278
HAVE NOTED, THERE ARE ABOUT 1500

860
00:31:53,278 --> 00:31:54,679
PEOPLE WHO SIGNED A PETITION 

861
00:31:54,679 --> 00:31:56,147
JUST REQUESTING A SMALL CHANGE. 

862
00:31:56,147 --> 00:32:00,251
AND THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU CAN 

863
00:32:00,251 --> 00:32:01,452
MAKE THIS CHANGE EASIER. ANY 

864
00:32:01,452 --> 00:32:03,187
LOST ADDITIONAL UNITS FROM IT 

865
00:32:03,187 --> 00:32:06,157
COULD BE MORE APPROPRIATELY 

866
00:32:06,157 --> 00:32:07,592
LOCATED IN A VERY NEARBY AREA 

867
00:32:07,592 --> 00:32:08,660
ALONG COMMERCIAL AREAS. 

868
00:32:08,660 --> 00:32:12,830
>> THANK YOU, AND. NEXT UP WE 

869
00:32:12,830 --> 00:32:20,104
HAVE JIM. 

870
00:32:24,575 --> 00:32:35,053
JIM, PLEASE PRESS STAR SIX. JIM,

871
00:32:37,555 --> 00:32:38,957
WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU. WE 

872
00:32:38,957 --> 00:32:40,792
WILL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT 

873
00:32:40,792 --> 00:32:45,997
SPEAKER, DAVID. 

874
00:32:54,572 --> 00:32:55,673
>> HI. THANK YOU. DAVID HAYNES. 

875
00:32:55,673 --> 00:32:56,841
IT IS OBVIOUS THE COMP PLAN HAS 

876
00:32:56,841 --> 00:32:58,609
BEEN TAINTED WITH CONFLICT OF 

877
00:32:58,609 --> 00:33:02,380
INTEREST FROM SMALLTIME 

878
00:33:02,380 --> 00:33:03,214
LANDLORDS SELLING OUT THE 

879
00:33:03,214 --> 00:33:04,449
RENTERS AND THE WORKERS. WE NEED

880
00:33:04,449 --> 00:33:05,249
AN INVESTIGATION OF THE 

881
00:33:05,249 --> 00:33:07,518
LANDLORDS ON THE CITY COUNCIL . 

882
00:33:07,518 --> 00:33:08,753
DID ANY OF YOU CITY COUNCIL 

883
00:33:08,753 --> 00:33:09,554
LANDLORD CONFLICT OF INTEREST 

884
00:33:09,554 --> 00:33:11,122
EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE A

885
00:33:11,122 --> 00:33:13,224
CONFLICT ? WE NEED TO GO HIGHER.

886
00:33:13,224 --> 00:33:14,525
I'M SICK AND TIRED OF LISTENING

887
00:33:14,525 --> 00:33:15,360
TO THESE SEATTLE SELLOUTS WHO 

888
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,895
HAVE THEIR HOMES AND THEY WANT 

889
00:33:17,895 --> 00:33:21,165
TO DENY EVERYONE ELSE A HOME 

890
00:33:21,165 --> 00:33:21,799
PUTTING RESTRICTIONS AND 

891
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:22,834
TAINTING THE INTEGRITY OF THE 

892
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:24,469
CONFERENCE A PLAN. WE NEED TO 

893
00:33:24,469 --> 00:33:25,703
TAKE AWAY SOME OF THESE ALLEYS 

894
00:33:25,703 --> 00:33:27,338
THAT RUN BEHIND ALL OF THESE 

895
00:33:27,338 --> 00:33:29,340
HOMES THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE 

896
00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:35,580
THESE A.D. YOUS LEANING RIGHT UP

897
00:33:35,580 --> 00:33:36,814
AGAINST THE TRASH TRUCK. Y'ALL 

898
00:33:36,814 --> 00:33:37,949
NEED TO REALIZE THAT WITH 

899
00:33:37,949 --> 00:33:39,050
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS WE NEED 

900
00:33:39,050 --> 00:33:40,485
TO GET RID OF THE ASPHALT ROADS 

901
00:33:40,485 --> 00:33:41,619
IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS AND 

902
00:33:41,619 --> 00:33:43,020
REBUILD IT GREEN WITH NEW HOMES 

903
00:33:43,020 --> 00:33:44,956
ON THOSE ROADS WITHOUT ANY 

904
00:33:44,956 --> 00:33:47,592
ASPHALT BEING ACKNOWLEDGED. YOU 

905
00:33:47,592 --> 00:33:49,093
ALL WANT TO ACT LIKE YOU CAN 

906
00:33:49,093 --> 00:33:51,262
WEAPONIZE THE TREE ORDINANCE TO 

907
00:33:51,262 --> 00:33:57,201
DENY FUTURE GENERATIONS A BETTER

908
00:33:57,201 --> 00:33:58,403
CHOICE IN HOME. AND IT'S KIND 

909
00:33:58,403 --> 00:33:59,771
OF OFFENSIVE EVERY TIME I HEAR 

910
00:33:59,771 --> 00:34:00,872
SOMEBODY TALK ABOUT STACKED 

911
00:34:00,872 --> 00:34:02,140

A LOOK AT BALLARD. A PERFECT 

918
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:16,687

922
00:34:21,626 --> 00:34:24,262
FACTORY AND BIG GIGANTIC GAS 

923
00:34:24,262 --> 00:34:30,068

A FOUR STORY OR EVEN FIVE-STORY.

931
00:34:48,419 --> 00:34:49,654
IT IS TOO LITTLE BECAUSE ALL THE

932
00:34:49,654 --> 00:34:50,922
DELIVERY TRUCKS ARE GOING TO BE 

933
00:34:50,922 --> 00:34:52,090
MAKING ALL KINDS OF NOISE FOR 

934
00:34:52,090 --> 00:34:53,424
THE RESIDENTS, DRIVING THEM 

935

FIRST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT 

943
00:35:36,267 --> 00:35:37,101
OUR TRIBAL COMMUNITIES WERE 

944
00:35:37,101 --> 00:35:38,369
INVITED TO REVIEW THE COMP PLAN 

945
00:35:38,369 --> 00:35:39,504

946
00:35:39,504 --> 00:35:40,505

SEEING ANY ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF 

950
00:35:43,407 --> 00:35:43,975
THAT REGARDING ENGAGEMENT. 

951
00:35:43,975 --> 00:35:44,876
INVITE TRIBAL INPUT ONLY TO 

952
00:35:44,876 --> 00:35:46,110
IGNORE IT IS NOT ONLY DEEPLY 

953
00:35:46,110 --> 00:35:47,378
DISRESPECTFUL BUT OUR INDIGENOUS

STEWARDED THESE LANDS SINCE TIME

957
00:35:53,618 --> 00:35:54,886
IMMEMORIAL, A MUCH DEEPER 

958
00:35:54,886 --> 00:35:56,487
UNDERSTANDING WITHIN OUR VERY 

959
00:35:56,487 --> 00:35:57,555
HIGHLY UNIQUE ECOSYSTEM. 

960
00:35:57,555 --> 00:36:01,159
REGARDING THE ONGOING ISSUE OF 

961
00:36:01,159 --> 00:36:02,093
AFFORDABILITY, I'M ECHOING WHAT

962
00:36:02,093 --> 00:36:04,629
OTHERS HAVE ALREADY SAID. THERE 

963
00:36:04,629 --> 00:36:05,596
ARE SEVERAL STUDIES EMERGING 

964
00:36:05,596 --> 00:36:06,264
THAT DEMONSTRATE CLEARLY MORE 

965
00:36:06,264 --> 00:36:07,798
HOUSING DOES NOT CREATE MORE 

966
00:36:07,798 --> 00:36:10,568
AFFORDABLE HOUSING . THE ISSUE 

967
00:36:10,568 --> 00:36:11,369
OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING WILL 

968
00:36:11,369 --> 00:36:12,837
PERSIST UNTIL THE TRUE 

969
00:36:12,837 --> 00:36:15,940
UNDERLYING COSTS IS ACKNOWLEDGED

970
00:36:15,940 --> 00:36:16,574
AND ADDRESSED. UCLA PROFESSOR

GENTRIFICATION AND DISPLACEMENT 

973
00:36:22,213 --> 00:36:27,852
WORSE , NOTING DEREGULATION IS 

974
00:36:27,852 --> 00:36:28,753
NOT GOING TO LEAD AFFORDABLE 

975
00:36:28,753 --> 00:36:30,288
HOUSING AS LONG AS THE MARKET IS

976
00:36:30,288 --> 00:36:31,122

NEARLY AS MUCH AS IT IS TODAY. 

981
00:36:39,130 --> 00:36:41,299
COMMUNITIES TAKE THE BRUNT OF 

982
00:36:41,299 --> 00:36:42,500
THE RISE IN PROPERTY TAXES 

983
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:43,267

INCREASED DENSITY WILL CURB

SEVERE IMPACT TO OUR REGION. ONE

996
00:37:12,230 --> 00:37:13,097
EXAMPLE IS THE INCREASE IN 

997
00:37:13,097 --> 00:37:13,998
NITROGEN LEVEL FLOWING THROUGH 

998
00:37:13,998 --> 00:37:15,333
COMBINED SEWAGE OVERFLOWS, WHICH

999
00:37:15,333 --> 00:37:17,668
IS DEPLETING OXYGEN IN PUGET

1001
00:37:18,703 --> 00:37:19,704

00:41:08,732 --> 00:41:09,733
OFF THE PRESSES. IT BECAME 

1093
00:41:09,733 --> 00:41:14,538
EFFECTIVE IN JANUARY ALONG WITH 

1094
00:41:14,538 --> 00:41:15,773
THE INITIAL ZONING LEGISLATION 

1095
00:41:15,773 --> 00:41:17,074
UPDATING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD 

1096
00:41:17,074 --> 00:41:17,575
RESIDENTIAL ZONES. THE 

1097
00:41:17,575 --> 00:41:18,476
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS A 20 YEAR 

1098
00:41:18,476 --> 00:41:19,710
PLAN FOR GROWTH AND A VISION FOR

1099
00:41:19,710 --> 00:41:21,011
THE FUTURE OF SEATTLE. IT IS A 

1100
00:41:21,011 --> 00:41:22,112
REQUIREMENT OF THE STATE GROWTH 

1101
00:41:22,112 --> 00:41:25,115
MANAGEMENT ACT. LIKE ALL UPDATES

1102
00:41:25,115 --> 00:41:26,417
, WE FOCUS ON MAJOR CHALLENGES 

1103
00:41:26,417 --> 00:41:28,619
BEFORE THE CITY AND PERSISTENT 

1104
00:41:28,619 --> 00:41:30,888
CRISIS IN HOUSING SUPPLY AND 

1105
00:41:30,888 --> 00:41:38,362
AFFORDABILITY WAS TOP OF THE 

1106
00:41:38,362 --> 00:41:39,830
PILE FOR US AS WE TOOK ON THIS 

1107
00:41:39,830 --> 00:41:41,298
UPDATE. IT WAS NOT THE ONLY 

1108
00:41:41,298 --> 00:41:42,466
ISSUE WE DEALT WITH BUT IT WAS 

1109
00:41:42,466 --> 00:41:43,534
CERTAINLY THE MOST PROMINENT ONE

1110
00:41:43,534 --> 00:41:44,802
WE DISCUSSED WITH YOU LAST YEAR.

1111
00:41:44,802 --> 00:41:45,970
AND SEATTLE IS NOT ALONE IN 

1112
00:41:45,970 --> 00:41:49,006
CONFRONTING THE CHALLENGE WITH 

1113
00:41:49,006 --> 00:41:50,207
THE ROUND OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 

1114
00:41:50,207 --> 00:41:50,808
UPDATES HAPPENING ACROSS THE 

1115
00:41:50,808 --> 00:41:51,876
REGION. MANY OTHER CITIES WERE 

1116
00:41:51,876 --> 00:41:52,877
ALSO TAKING BOLD STEPS TO 

1117
00:41:52,877 --> 00:41:54,478
INCREASE THE AMOUNT AND TYPES OF

1118
00:41:54,478 --> 00:41:56,046
HOUSING THAT WERE AVAILABLE IN 

1119
00:41:56,046 --> 00:42:02,086
THEIR JURISDICTIONS. SO THE MAIN

1120
00:42:02,086 --> 00:42:03,387
WAY THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 

1121
00:42:03,387 --> 00:42:05,189
IMPACTS THE SUPPLY OF HOUSING IN

1122
00:42:05,189 --> 00:42:12,863
THE CITY IS THROUGH THE GROWTH 

1123
00:42:12,863 --> 00:42:13,764
STRATEGY. IT IS A CENTRAL 

1124
00:42:13,764 --> 00:42:14,698
COMPONENT OF ANY COMPREHENSIVE 

1125
00:42:14,698 --> 00:42:15,733
PLAN. THE GROWTH STRATEGY IN 

1126
00:42:15,733 --> 00:42:16,867
THIS MAJOR UPDATE WAS THE MOST 

1127
00:42:16,867 --> 00:42:19,069
SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE PLAN 

1128
00:42:19,069 --> 00:42:20,404
ON OUR VISION FOR GROWTH AND 

1129
00:42:20,404 --> 00:42:21,572
DEVELOPMENT THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN

1130
00:42:21,572 --> 00:42:23,307
ABOUT 30 YEARS. HIS MAIN 

1131
00:42:23,307 --> 00:42:28,245
COMPONENTS ARE PLACED TYPES. 

1132
00:42:28,245 --> 00:42:29,980
EACH HAS A UNIQUE ROLE IN 

1133
00:42:29,980 --> 00:42:33,684
ACCOMMODATING HOUSING AND JOB 

1134
00:42:33,684 --> 00:42:35,185
GROWTH IN THE CITY. SEVEN 

1135
00:42:35,185 --> 00:42:37,221
REGIONAL CENTERS. WE ADDED 

1136
00:42:37,221 --> 00:42:38,355
BALLARD AS A NEWLY DESIGNATED 

1137
00:42:38,355 --> 00:42:39,623
REGIONAL CENTER. THOSE ARE OUR 

1138
00:42:39,623 --> 00:42:40,557
DENSEST NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS THE

1139
00:42:40,557 --> 00:42:44,194
CITY . THE URBAN CENTERS. THERE 

1140
00:42:44,194 --> 00:42:46,897
ARE 26 OF THEM. SOME OF THOSE 

1141
00:42:46,897 --> 00:42:52,236
WERE EXPANDED AND THEIR 

1142
00:42:52,236 --> 00:42:53,504
BOUNDARIES. WE HAVE A NEW URBAN 

1143
00:42:53,504 --> 00:42:54,638
CENTER IN THE CITY. THOSE ALSO 

1144
00:42:54,638 --> 00:42:56,073
HAVE AN IMPORTANT ROLE ALSO AS 

1145
00:42:56,073 --> 00:42:57,241
DENSE URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND

1146
00:42:57,241 --> 00:43:03,113
REGIONAL TRANSIT . THERE WAS A 

1147
00:43:03,113 --> 00:43:03,981
NEW PLACE TYPE CALLED 

1148
00:43:03,981 --> 00:43:04,715
NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS OF WHICH 

1149
00:43:04,715 --> 00:43:05,649
THERE ARE 30 DESIGNATED ACROSS 

1150
00:43:05,649 --> 00:43:06,917
THE CITY. THESE ARE MUCH SMALLER

1151
00:43:06,917 --> 00:43:08,352
BUT IMPORTANT NODES OF NEW 

1152
00:43:08,352 --> 00:43:10,988
CAPACITY FOR APARTMENT AND 

1153
00:43:10,988 --> 00:43:17,861
CONDOMINIUM SCALE DEVELOPMENT . 

1154
00:43:17,861 --> 00:43:19,863
WE WILL BE DRILLING DOWN ON THAT

1155
00:43:19,863 --> 00:43:20,764
WITH THIS LEGISLATION, WHICH 

1156
00:43:20,764 --> 00:43:21,365
IMPLEMENTS THE NEIGHBORHOOD 

1157
00:43:21,365 --> 00:43:26,537
CENTER PLACE TYPE THAT WAS NEW 

1158
00:43:26,537 --> 00:43:28,038
IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. AND 

1159
00:43:28,038 --> 00:43:28,672
THEN THERE WERE CHANGES FOR 

1160
00:43:28,672 --> 00:43:29,640
URBAN NEIGHBORHOODS TO ALLOW A 

1161
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:30,608
BROADER RANGE OF ATTACHED AND 

1162
00:43:30,608 --> 00:43:31,342
DETACHED DWELLINGS OF VARIOUS 

1163
00:43:31,342 --> 00:43:32,576
BUILDING TYPES IN ALL OF OUR 

1164
00:43:32,576 --> 00:43:33,610
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONES, 

1165
00:43:33,610 --> 00:43:35,212
AND HISTORICALLY THOSE ARE 

1166
00:43:35,212 --> 00:43:40,517
CALLED SINGLE-FAMILY ZONES. SO 

1167
00:43:40,517 --> 00:43:41,719
THE PLACED TYPES DESCRIBE THE 

1168
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:42,953
TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT, IT'S 

1169
00:43:42,953 --> 00:43:43,754
DENSITY, OTHER POLICIES THAT 

1170
00:43:43,754 --> 00:43:46,156
GUIDE WHAT WE DO WITH ZONING 

1171
00:43:46,156 --> 00:43:53,030
LEGISLATION. THE GROWTH 

1172
00:43:53,030 --> 00:43:53,664
STRATEGIES IMPLEMENTED THROUGH 

1173
00:43:53,664 --> 00:43:54,264
FOLLOW-UP LEGISLATION. YOU 

1174
00:43:54,264 --> 00:43:56,000
CANNOT GO OUT AND BUILD WITH THE

1175
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,868
PLAN ENVISIONS UNTIL THE ZONING 

1176
00:43:57,868 --> 00:43:59,336
GETS ADOPTED. SO THE LEGISLATION

1177
00:43:59,336 --> 00:44:00,604
FOR YOU IS VERY IMPORTANT TO 

1178
00:44:00,604 --> 00:44:01,572
IMPLEMENT THIS VISION IN THE 

1179
00:44:01,572 --> 00:44:02,806
PLAN. IN FACT, IT IS A 

1180
00:44:02,806 --> 00:44:05,142
REQUIREMENT OF THE STATE GROWTH 

1181
00:44:05,142 --> 00:44:06,243
MANAGEMENT ACT AS WELL. WE HAVE 

1182
00:44:06,243 --> 00:44:07,211
TO HAVE LEGISLATION THAT IS 

1183
00:44:07,211 --> 00:44:08,278
CONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN. WE'RE

1184
00:44:08,278 --> 00:44:15,352
HALFWAY THERE WITH RESIDENTIAL 

1185
00:44:15,352 --> 00:44:16,220
LEGISLATION FROM LAST YEAR. THIS

1186
00:44:16,220 --> 00:44:17,621
IS THE NEXT PIECE THAT BRINGS 

1187
00:44:17,621 --> 00:44:20,591
OUR ZONING CODE INTO CONSISTENCY

1188
00:44:20,591 --> 00:44:21,191
WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. 

1189
00:44:21,191 --> 00:44:21,859
WITH THAT, I ALSO WANT TO NOTE 

1190
00:44:21,859 --> 00:44:23,360
THAT WE DID DO ENVIRONMENTAL 

1191
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:24,094
REVIEW UNDER THE STATE 

1192
00:44:24,094 --> 00:44:28,799
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT . ON 

1193
00:44:28,799 --> 00:44:30,134
THE FULL PACKAGE, THE COMP PLAN,

1194
00:44:30,134 --> 00:44:30,734
THE NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL 

1195
00:44:30,734 --> 00:44:32,403
ZONING, AND THE ZONING THAT 

1196
00:44:32,403 --> 00:44:35,706
REALIZES THE GROWTH ENVISIONED 

1197
00:44:35,706 --> 00:44:36,306
IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS 

1198
00:44:36,306 --> 00:44:37,241
ALONG OUR TRANSIT CORRIDORS IN 

1199
00:44:37,241 --> 00:44:40,344
THOSE EXPANDED URBAN CENTERS AS 

1200
00:44:40,344 --> 00:44:42,346
YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT. THE GOOD 

1201
00:44:42,346 --> 00:44:43,781
THING IS THAT ENVIRONMENTAL 

1202
00:44:43,781 --> 00:44:47,651
REVIEW -- WE HAVE COVERED SEPA 

1203
00:44:47,651 --> 00:44:48,452
WITH THIS LEGISLATION. THE 

1204
00:44:48,452 --> 00:44:51,555
PROPOSAL IN THIS LEGISLATION IS 

1205
00:44:51,555 --> 00:44:52,890
SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO THE 

1206
00:44:52,890 --> 00:44:53,957
PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE STUDIED IN

1207
00:44:53,957 --> 00:44:56,193
THE FINAL EIS WHAT THAT ALSO 

1208
00:44:56,193 --> 00:44:59,663
MEANS IS THAT ANY CHANGES TO 

1209
00:44:59,663 --> 00:45:01,098
INCREASE SUBSTANTIALLY THE AREA 

1210
00:45:01,098 --> 00:45:02,499
OR INTENSITY OF HOUSING AND 

1211
00:45:02,499 --> 00:45:05,202
GROWTH IN THOSE AREAS WOULD VERY

1212
00:45:05,202 --> 00:45:06,370
LIKELY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL 

1213
00:45:06,370 --> 00:45:10,841
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW . OBVIOUSLY

1214
00:45:10,841 --> 00:45:17,514
THERE IS ROOM WITHIN THAT TO 

1215
00:45:17,514 --> 00:45:18,515
MAKE SOME AMENDMENTS TO THE 

1216
00:45:18,515 --> 00:45:19,616
LEGISLATION. BUT THIS IS VERY 

1217
00:45:19,616 --> 00:45:21,351
CLOSE TO WHAT WE STUDIED IN THE 

1218
00:45:21,351 --> 00:45:22,886
EIS . IT'S AN IMPORTANT NOTE AS

1219
00:45:22,886 --> 00:45:23,454
YOU START CONSIDERING 

1220
00:45:23,454 --> 00:45:26,523
LEGISLATION GOING FORWARD. WITH 

1221
00:45:26,523 --> 00:45:28,559
THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER

1222
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:29,393
TO BRENNON STALEY. BRENNON'S 

1223
00:45:29,393 --> 00:45:34,431
ROLE IS TO LEAD THE ZONING 

1224
00:45:34,431 --> 00:45:35,099
CHANGES THAT IMPLEMENT THE 

1225
00:45:35,099 --> 00:45:35,966
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. HE IS THE 

1226
00:45:35,966 --> 00:45:37,534
EXPERT ON THE TOPIC. HE WILL BE 

1227
00:45:37,534 --> 00:45:38,669
TALKING ABOUT HOW HE GOT HERE, 

1228
00:45:38,669 --> 00:45:40,170
THE WORK WE DID TO DEVELOP THE 

1229
00:45:40,170 --> 00:45:41,105
PROPOSAL, AND TALK ABOUT HIS 

1230
00:45:41,105 --> 00:45:42,039
DIFFERENT COMPONENTS AND WE ARE 

1231
00:45:42,039 --> 00:45:43,307
HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU

1232
00:45:43,307 --> 00:45:43,941
HAVE ABOUT IT. 

1233
00:45:43,941 --> 00:45:49,513
>> AS MICHAEL POINTED OUT , TO 

1234
00:45:49,513 --> 00:45:50,214
IMPLEMENT THE COMPANY AND THE 

1235
00:45:50,214 --> 00:45:51,448
PLAN, YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE 

1236
00:45:51,448 --> 00:45:53,016
ZONING. THE RULES ON THE GROUND 

1237
00:45:53,016 --> 00:45:57,688
AND FIRST STEP OF THAT IS WHAT 

1238
00:45:57,688 --> 00:45:59,356
WE DID LAST YEAR. THE UPDATE TO 

1239
00:45:59,356 --> 00:46:00,023
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONES. 

1240
00:46:00,023 --> 00:46:00,991
THAT IS REALLY GOING TO HELP 

1241
00:46:00,991 --> 00:46:01,792
CREATE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR 

1242
00:46:01,792 --> 00:46:02,359
PRIMARILY FAMILY SIZED 

1243
00:46:02,359 --> 00:46:02,993
HOMEOWNERSHIP PROJECTS. DETACHED

1244
00:46:02,993 --> 00:46:08,632
HOMES, TOWNHOUSES, DUPLEXES . 

1245
00:46:08,632 --> 00:46:09,700
AND THE CENTERS AND CORNERS 

1246
00:46:09,700 --> 00:46:11,001
LEGISLATION WE ARE HERE TO TALK 

1247
00:46:11,001 --> 00:46:12,402
ABOUT IS A COMPLEMENT TO THAT BY

1248
00:46:12,402 --> 00:46:13,937
ADDING CAPACITY TO GET MORE 

1249
00:46:13,937 --> 00:46:20,511
APARTMENTS AND CONDOS. BOTH MORE

1250
00:46:20,511 --> 00:46:21,178
RENTAL OPPORTUNITIES AND SMALLER

1251
00:46:21,178 --> 00:46:22,112
SCALE HOMEOWNERSHIP 

1252
00:46:22,112 --> 00:46:23,046
OPPORTUNITIES. PARTICULARLY NEAR

1253
00:46:23,046 --> 00:46:24,448
TRANSIT RETAIL SERVICES AND 

1254
00:46:24,448 --> 00:46:27,651
PUBLIC AMENITIES. AND SO 

1255
00:46:27,651 --> 00:46:28,685
TOGETHER, THOSE TWO THINGS CAN 

1256
00:46:28,685 --> 00:46:30,187
REALLY HELP US BETTER ADDRESS 

1257
00:46:30,187 --> 00:46:32,055
OUR HOUSING NEEDS OVERALL AND TO

1258
00:46:32,055 --> 00:46:33,557
IMPROVE BOTH HOUSING CHOICE AND 

1259
00:46:33,557 --> 00:46:35,192
AFFORDABILITY CODES ACROSS THE 

1260
00:46:35,192 --> 00:46:38,395
CITY. THE REASON WE ARE DOING 

1261
00:46:38,395 --> 00:46:40,564
THIS FUNDAMENTALLY IS THAT WE 

1262
00:46:40,564 --> 00:46:41,798
ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A 

1263
00:46:41,798 --> 00:46:42,399
PERSISTENT LONG-TERM HOUSING 

1264
00:46:42,399 --> 00:46:43,967
CRISIS OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS, 

1265
00:46:43,967 --> 00:46:45,402
THE COST OF A DETACHED HOME HAS 

1266
00:46:45,402 --> 00:46:50,240
MORE THAN DOUBLED . RENTS FROM 

1267
00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:53,577
2011 TO 2021 INCREASED BY 75%. 

1268
00:46:53,577 --> 00:46:57,514
AND THE OUTCOME OF THAT IS THAT 

1269
00:46:57,514 --> 00:46:59,316
NOW MORE THAN 20% OF RENTERS PAY

1270
00:46:59,316 --> 00:47:01,084
MORE THAN HALF OF THEIR INCOME 

1271
00:47:01,084 --> 00:47:02,452
FOR RENT, AND MORE PEOPLE ARE 

1272
00:47:02,452 --> 00:47:03,654
MAKING IT HARDER TO MAKE ENDS 

1273
00:47:03,654 --> 00:47:09,359
MEET. THIS LIGHT IS ALSO 

1274
00:47:09,359 --> 00:47:10,394
IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT ALSO HELPS 

1275
00:47:10,394 --> 00:47:11,295
UNDERSTAND WHY DIVERSITY OF 

1276
00:47:11,295 --> 00:47:12,896
OPINIONS WE ARE GETTING IS PART 

1277
00:47:12,896 --> 00:47:18,468
OF THIS. YOU KNOW, I THINK A LOT

1278
00:47:18,468 --> 00:47:19,770
OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE OWNED HOMES 

1279
00:47:19,770 --> 00:47:21,071
FOR A LONGER TIME HAVE SEEN A 

1280
00:47:21,071 --> 00:47:22,105
LOT OF WEALTH GENERATION FROM 

1281
00:47:22,105 --> 00:47:23,407
THAT. A LOT OF YOUNGER PEOPLE 

1282
00:47:23,407 --> 00:47:24,741
ARE WORRIED IF THEY WILL BE ABLE

1283
00:47:24,741 --> 00:47:26,510
TO CONTINUE TO PAY RENT OR BUY A

1284
00:47:26,510 --> 00:47:27,811
HOME AT ALL. THOSE REALLY RESULT

1285
00:47:27,811 --> 00:47:29,680
IN DIFFERENT OPINIONS. I THINK 

1286
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:30,514
THAT IS IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE 

1287
00:47:30,514 --> 00:47:31,715
THE WIDE VARIETY OF THINGS WE 

1288
00:47:31,715 --> 00:47:33,750
ARE HEARING FROM THE PUBLIC. 

1289
00:47:33,750 --> 00:47:34,718
INCREASING THE SUPPLY AND 

1290
00:47:34,718 --> 00:47:38,322
DIVERSITY OF HOMES IS KIND OF 

1291
00:47:38,322 --> 00:47:38,956
FUNDAMENTALLY NECESSARY TO 

1292
00:47:38,956 --> 00:47:40,557
ADDRESSING A WIDE VARIETY OF THE

1293
00:47:40,557 --> 00:47:41,525
BIGGEST CHALLENGES ADDRESSING 

1294
00:47:41,525 --> 00:47:46,730
BOTH THE CITY AND THE REGION. IT

1295
00:47:46,730 --> 00:47:47,731
CAN HELP TO REDUCE THE 

1296
00:47:47,731 --> 00:47:48,465
COMPETITION FOR HOUSING, WHICH 

1297
00:47:48,465 --> 00:47:50,000
IS DRIVING OUR HOUSING PRICES. 

1298
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,403
HOUSING COST HAS ALSO BEEN 

1299
00:47:53,403 --> 00:47:54,571
IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE KEY 

1300
00:47:54,571 --> 00:47:55,405
DRIVERS OF OUR HOMELESSNESS 

1301
00:47:55,405 --> 00:47:58,742
CRISIS AS WELL. IT CAN ALSO 

1302
00:47:58,742 --> 00:47:59,243
CREATE MORE INCLUSIVE 

1303
00:47:59,243 --> 00:47:59,977
NEIGHBORHOODS BY ALLOWING FOR 

1304
00:47:59,977 --> 00:48:01,144
MORE CHOICE THAT PEOPLE CAN FIND

1305
00:48:01,144 --> 00:48:02,379
THE HOUSING THEY NEED AS THEIR 

1306
00:48:02,379 --> 00:48:03,880
NEEDS CHANGE OVER THE COURSE OF 

1307
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:05,182
THEIR LIFE. TRANSPORTATION IS 

1308
00:48:05,182 --> 00:48:09,620
THE BIGGEST CLIMATE CHANGE 

1309
00:48:09,620 --> 00:48:11,021
DRIVER WE HAVE IN THE CITY. AND 

1310
00:48:11,021 --> 00:48:13,257
SO THIS CAN HELP TO ALLOW PEOPLE

1311
00:48:13,257 --> 00:48:14,825
TO LIVE CLOSER TO JOBS AND 

1312
00:48:14,825 --> 00:48:17,594
TRANSIT WHERE THEY CAN REDUCE 

1313
00:48:17,594 --> 00:48:18,762
REGIONAL SPRAWL BUT ALSO REDUCE 

1314
00:48:18,762 --> 00:48:19,997
GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS. OBVIOUSLY 

1315
00:48:19,997 --> 00:48:22,499
THIS ALSO A LARGE COST TO THE 

1316
00:48:22,499 --> 00:48:24,401
COST OF HOUSING SO WE CAN HELP 

1317
00:48:24,401 --> 00:48:25,469
BUSINESSES ATTRACT OR RETAIN 

1318
00:48:25,469 --> 00:48:31,275
EMPLOYEES. SO THIS PROCESS HAS 

1319
00:48:31,275 --> 00:48:32,709
BEEN A LONG TIME IN THE MAKING. 

1320
00:48:32,709 --> 00:48:35,345
WE STARTED IT IN 2022. THERE 

1321
00:48:35,345 --> 00:48:36,680
HAVE BEEN FOUR PHASES OF 

1322
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:37,314
ENGAGEMENT. THE FIRST WAS REALLY

1323
00:48:37,314 --> 00:48:38,949
ABOUT LISTENING AND LEARNING BY 

1324
00:48:38,949 --> 00:48:40,317
DOING PRESENTATIONS TO THE 

1325
00:48:40,317 --> 00:48:42,452
COMMUNITY, SURVEYS, AND A LOT OF

1326
00:48:42,452 --> 00:48:43,920
OUTREACH BY COMMUNITY LIAISONS 

1327
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:44,855
AND COMMUNITY-BASED 

1328
00:48:44,855 --> 00:48:46,790
ORGANIZATIONS. THE NEXT PHASE 

1329
00:48:46,790 --> 00:48:49,326
WAS ABOUT SHAPING THE PLAN. A 

1330
00:48:49,326 --> 00:48:50,761
ROBUST CONVERSATION ABOUT GROWTH

1331
00:48:50,761 --> 00:48:52,129
STRATEGIES AND ZONING 

1332
00:48:52,129 --> 00:48:54,998
ALTERNATIVES . REVIEW AND REFINE

1333
00:48:54,998 --> 00:48:56,733
STARTED OUT WHEN WE INTRODUCED 

1334
00:48:56,733 --> 00:49:00,804
THE DRAFT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 

1335
00:49:00,804 --> 00:49:01,538
THAT INCLUDED DRAFT GROWTH 

1336
00:49:01,538 --> 00:49:03,140
STRATEGY AND SOME BASIC IDEAS 

1337
00:49:03,140 --> 00:49:07,210
ABOUT WHAT ZONING WOULD LOOK 

1338
00:49:07,210 --> 00:49:08,478
LIKE. AND THEN PHASE FOUR WAS 

1339
00:49:08,478 --> 00:49:09,212
ACTUALLY ABOUT ZONING 

1340
00:49:09,212 --> 00:49:10,047
SPECIFICALLY WHERE WE ACTUALLY 

1341
00:49:10,047 --> 00:49:11,682
HAD DETAILED ZONING MAPS AND 

1342
00:49:11,682 --> 00:49:12,983
DRAFT LEGISLATION WITH THE 

1343
00:49:12,983 --> 00:49:22,826
PUBLIC. THAT IS ZONING 

1344
00:49:22,826 --> 00:49:23,360
ENGAGEMENT. JUST SOME 

1345
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:24,194
HIGHLIGHTS. THERE WERE SEVEN 

1346
00:49:24,194 --> 00:49:25,262
OPEN HOUSES WITH OVER 2000 

1347
00:49:25,262 --> 00:49:25,862
PARTICIPANTS. WE HAD THREE 

1348
00:49:25,862 --> 00:49:27,030
ONLINE INFO SESSIONS, EIGHT 

1349
00:49:27,030 --> 00:49:29,533
VIRTUAL OFFICE HOURS SESSIONS. 

1350
00:49:29,533 --> 00:49:31,168
THE WEBSITE HAD A LOT OF TOOLS 

1351
00:49:31,168 --> 00:49:32,602
INCLUDING A MAP WHERE PEOPLE 

1352
00:49:32,602 --> 00:49:33,704
COULD LEAVE LOCK BY BLOCK 

1353
00:49:33,704 --> 00:49:34,838
COMMENTS. WE DID A LOT OF 

1354
00:49:34,838 --> 00:49:36,206
ADVERTISING THROUGH PAID LOCAL 

1355
00:49:36,206 --> 00:49:40,644
MEDIA AND TARGETED SOCIAL MEDIA 

1356
00:49:40,644 --> 00:49:41,912
AS WELL AS FLYERS TO OUTREACH 

1357
00:49:41,912 --> 00:49:42,679
COMMUNITY GROUPS. WE RECEIVED 

1358
00:49:42,679 --> 00:49:43,914
OVER 9000 COMMENTS DURING THAT 

1359
00:49:43,914 --> 00:49:47,317
PERIOD. WE OBVIOUSLY HEARD A 

1360
00:49:47,317 --> 00:49:49,019
REALLY WIDE VARIETY OF THOUGHTS 

1361
00:49:49,019 --> 00:49:51,088
ON BOTH THE SCOPE OF THE ISSUE, 

1362
00:49:51,088 --> 00:49:54,725
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS , BUT 

1363
00:49:54,725 --> 00:49:55,525
OVERALL THERE WASN'T BROAD 

1364
00:49:55,525 --> 00:49:57,260
AGREEMENT ON THE NEED FOR MORE 

1365
00:49:57,260 --> 00:49:59,830
HOUSING. WITHIN THAT, OBVIOUSLY 

1366
00:49:59,830 --> 00:50:00,864
A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPINIONS. 

1367
00:50:00,864 --> 00:50:03,633
COMMENTS THAT WERE EXPRESSING 

1368
00:50:03,633 --> 00:50:05,102
CONCERN ABOUT THE PROPOSAL 

1369
00:50:05,102 --> 00:50:09,539
TENDED TO FOCUS ABOUT THE SCALE 

1370
00:50:09,539 --> 00:50:10,507
OF NEW BUILDINGS. IN PARTICULAR,

1371
00:50:10,507 --> 00:50:11,808
THE POTENTIAL FOR FIVE-STORY 

1372
00:50:11,808 --> 00:50:14,945
DEVELOPMENT NEXT TO EXISTING 

1373
00:50:14,945 --> 00:50:15,912
HOMES. LOCALIZED FACTORS SUCH AS

1374
00:50:15,912 --> 00:50:16,680
TYPOGRAPHY, HISTORIC DISTRICTS, 

1375
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,181
AND THE ADEQUACY OF TRANSIT 

1376
00:50:18,181 --> 00:50:21,918
SERVICES. QUESTIONS ABOUT THE 

1377
00:50:21,918 --> 00:50:22,552
ADEQUACY OF INFRASTRUCTURE, 

1378
00:50:22,552 --> 00:50:23,453
ESPECIALLY STORMWATER AND 

1379
00:50:23,453 --> 00:50:25,856
STREETS AND TRANSPORTATION. AND 

1380
00:50:25,856 --> 00:50:29,426
THEN THE IMPACT ON TREES WITH 

1381
00:50:29,426 --> 00:50:32,496
REDEVELOPMENT. SUPPORT WILL 

1382
00:50:32,496 --> 00:50:33,964
FOCUS ON THE SCALE, THE OVERALL 

1383
00:50:33,964 --> 00:50:35,632
NEED FOR HOUSING AND THE 

1384
00:50:35,632 --> 00:50:43,106
AFFORDABLE -- AFFORDABILITY 

1385
00:50:43,106 --> 00:50:44,074
CRISIS. ALSO A DESIRE TO REALLY 

1386
00:50:44,074 --> 00:50:45,208
ADDRESS THE EXCLUSIVITY OF MANY 

1387
00:50:45,208 --> 00:50:46,476
AREAS AND HAVE A WIDER VARIETY 

1388
00:50:46,476 --> 00:50:47,611
OF HOUSING CHOICES SO THAT LOWER

1389
00:50:47,611 --> 00:50:49,112
INCOME PEOPLE CAN LIVE IN A LOT 

1390
00:50:49,112 --> 00:50:50,547
OF OUR MORE EXCLUSIVE 

1391
00:50:50,547 --> 00:50:52,015
NEIGHBORHOODS . AND THEN A 

1392
00:50:52,015 --> 00:50:52,916
DESIRE TO INCREASE HOUSING 

1393
00:50:52,916 --> 00:50:53,750
CHOICE, BUT ESPECIALLY STACKED 

1394
00:50:53,750 --> 00:51:00,457
FLAT ON QUIETER STREETS. SO THIS

1395
00:51:00,457 --> 00:51:01,591
PROPOSAL WOULD DO TWO THINGS. 

1396
00:51:01,591 --> 00:51:06,296
ONE, IT WOULD IMPLEMENT RHE 

1397
00:51:06,296 --> 00:51:07,564
ZONES IN THOSE AREAS THAT WERE 

1398
00:51:07,564 --> 00:51:08,498
OUR NEW GROWTH AREAS IDENTIFIED 

1399
00:51:08,498 --> 00:51:16,473
BY THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THOSE

1400
00:51:16,473 --> 00:51:17,407
ARE THE 30 NEW NEIGHBORHOOD 

1401
00:51:17,407 --> 00:51:18,642
CENTERS, THE SIX NEW OR EXPANDED

1402
00:51:18,642 --> 00:51:19,509
URBAN CENTERS, AND THEN 

1403
00:51:19,509 --> 00:51:20,110
LOCATIONS ALONG THE FREQUENT 

1404
00:51:20,110 --> 00:51:21,011
TRANSIT CORRIDORS. IT WOULD ALSO

1405
00:51:21,011 --> 00:51:21,845
MODIFY OUR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS

1406
00:51:21,845 --> 00:51:23,046
IN LOWRISE AND MIDRISE ZONES. 

1407
00:51:23,046 --> 00:51:24,714
THESE ARE PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL 

1408
00:51:24,714 --> 00:51:26,950
ZONES WITH HEIGHT LIMITS OF 3 TO

1409
00:51:26,950 --> 00:51:30,620
8 STORIES . THE PURPOSE OF THOSE

1410
00:51:30,620 --> 00:51:31,655
WOULD BE TO ENCOURAGE MORE 

1411
00:51:31,655 --> 00:51:33,223
APARTMENTS AND CONDOS IN THOSE 

1412
00:51:33,223 --> 00:51:39,129
AREAS. SO ON THIS SCREEN YOU CAN

1413
00:51:39,129 --> 00:51:40,263
SEE A MAP OF THE GEOGRAPHIC 

1414
00:51:40,263 --> 00:51:42,833
EXTENT OF THE REES OWN AREA FOR 

1415
00:51:42,833 --> 00:51:43,567
THE CENTERS, THE BOUNDARIES OF 

1416
00:51:43,567 --> 00:51:48,105
THOSE CENTERS WERE ALREADY 

1417
00:51:48,105 --> 00:51:49,339
ADOPTED AS PART OF THE COMPANY 

1418
00:51:49,339 --> 00:51:50,574
TO PLAN. SO NOW WE ARE REALLY 

1419
00:51:50,574 --> 00:51:51,374
TALKING ABOUT ZONING WITHIN 

1420
00:51:51,374 --> 00:51:52,476
THOSE CENTERS. THE PLAN THOUGH 

1421
00:51:52,476 --> 00:51:54,177
IS NOT AS SPECIFIC ABOUT THE 

1422
00:51:54,177 --> 00:51:58,014
SCOPE OF ZONING CHANGES ON 

1423
00:51:58,014 --> 00:51:59,649
CORRIDORS, SO THIS PROPOSAL 

1424
00:51:59,649 --> 00:52:02,986
THOUGH SPECIFICALLY WOULD 

1425
00:52:02,986 --> 00:52:04,020
PRIMARILY CHANGE THE ZONING ON 

1426
00:52:04,020 --> 00:52:04,754
PARCELS THAT ARE IMMEDIATELY 

1427
00:52:04,754 --> 00:52:06,389
ADJACENT TO FREQUENT TRANSIT 

1428
00:52:06,389 --> 00:52:09,659
ROUTES, SO GENERALLY FOR BLOCKS 

1429
00:52:09,659 --> 00:52:12,996
OR PARTICULAR STREET. ONE BLOCK 

1430
00:52:12,996 --> 00:52:18,768
DEEP -- SORRY, ONE LOT DEEP. FOR

1431
00:52:18,768 --> 00:52:20,470
STREETS THAT ARE PARALLEL, MAYBE

1432
00:52:20,470 --> 00:52:25,475
TWO LOTS. WITHIN THESE AREAS , 

1433
00:52:25,475 --> 00:52:30,914
THE ZONING IS FIVE AND SIX STORY

1434
00:52:30,914 --> 00:52:36,319
ZONES. THE REGION -- REASON FOR 

1435
00:52:36,319 --> 00:52:37,554
THIS IS FIVE STORIES AND SIX 

1436
00:52:37,554 --> 00:52:38,655
STORIES IS WHERE APARTMENTS AND 

1437
00:52:38,655 --> 00:52:39,990
CONDOS START TO BECOME FEASIBLE.

1438
00:52:39,990 --> 00:52:41,024
WE HAVE ZONES THAT ALLOW 

1439
00:52:41,024 --> 00:52:41,725
APARTMENTS OF A FOUR-STORY 

1440
00:52:41,725 --> 00:52:44,161
MAJOR. THOSE ZONES OVER THE LAST

1441
00:52:44,161 --> 00:52:46,096
FIVE YEARS WE HAVE ONLY SEEN TWO

1442
00:52:46,096 --> 00:52:52,802
PROJECTS WITH 32 TOTAL UNITS IN 

1443
00:52:52,802 --> 00:52:53,436
THEM. ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY 

1444
00:52:53,436 --> 00:52:54,237
TOWNHOUSE STYLE DEVELOPMENT IN 

1445
00:52:54,237 --> 00:52:55,472
THOSE AREAS. FIVE AND SIX STORY 

1446
00:52:55,472 --> 00:52:56,506
ZONING IS WHERE APARTMENTS AND 

1447
00:52:56,506 --> 00:53:03,980
CONDOS SPEAK IN -- BEGIN TO 

1448
00:53:03,980 --> 00:53:05,081
BECOME FEASIBLE. IT ALSO GIVES 

1449
00:53:05,081 --> 00:53:05,815
GUIDANCE ABOUT THE TYPES OF 

1450
00:53:05,815 --> 00:53:06,816
ZONES THAT ARE MOST APPROPRIATE 

1451
00:53:06,816 --> 00:53:07,817
IN CENTERS AND CORRIDORS. THERE 

1452
00:53:07,817 --> 00:53:08,952
IS HOWEVER SOME FOUR STORY 

1453
00:53:08,952 --> 00:53:10,453
ZONING PROPOSED KIND OF AT THE 

1454
00:53:10,453 --> 00:53:11,755
EDGES OF CENTERS AND WHERE SLOPE

1455
00:53:11,755 --> 00:53:12,822
WOULD ACTUALLY INCREASE THE 

1456
00:53:12,822 --> 00:53:17,360
VISUAL IMPACT OF THAT HEIGHT. 

1457
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:24,334
ALSO , ALL OF THE REZONED 

1458
00:53:24,334 --> 00:53:25,335
PROPERTIES WOULD BE SUBJECT TO 

1459
00:53:25,335 --> 00:53:25,969
MANDATORY HOUSING AFFORDABILITY,

1460
00:53:25,969 --> 00:53:27,003
WHICH AGAIN REQUIRES PROJECTS TO

1461
00:53:27,003 --> 00:53:27,971
EITHER PROVIDE AFFORDABLE UNITS 

1462
00:53:27,971 --> 00:53:32,642
ON SITE OR PAY INTO A FUND . 

1463
00:53:32,642 --> 00:53:33,843
PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE 

1464
00:53:33,843 --> 00:53:35,545
ZONED TO LOWRISE ZONES WILL HAVE

1465
00:53:35,545 --> 00:53:44,354
THE BASIC NHA REQUIREMENT WE 

1466
00:53:44,354 --> 00:53:46,022
CALL AN M SUFFIX. PROJECTS 

1467
00:53:46,022 --> 00:53:46,656
BETTER ZONED TO OTHER ZONES MAY 

1468
00:53:46,656 --> 00:53:47,557
HAVE HIGHER REQUIREMENTS. WHAT 

1469
00:53:47,557 --> 00:53:49,359
WE CALL M1 OR M2 SUFFIX BASED ON

1470
00:53:49,359 --> 00:53:50,393
THE DEGREE OF CHANGE IN THOSE 

1471
00:53:50,393 --> 00:53:52,062
AREAS. LARGER UP ZONES HAVE 

1472
00:53:52,062 --> 00:53:55,231
HIGHER REQUIREMENTS. WE DO HAVE 

1473
00:53:55,231 --> 00:53:56,399
AN ONLINE MAP THAT SHOWS THE 

1474
00:53:56,399 --> 00:53:58,001
PROPOSAL IN DETAIL. IT ALLOWS 

1475
00:53:58,001 --> 00:54:03,907
YOU TO CLICK ON INDIVIDUAL SITES

1476
00:54:03,907 --> 00:54:04,941
AND GET INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT 

1477
00:54:04,941 --> 00:54:05,942
ZONING MEANS. A SUMMARY OF 

1478
00:54:05,942 --> 00:54:06,643
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS AND 

1479
00:54:06,643 --> 00:54:07,410
PICTURES THAT SHOW RECENT 

1480
00:54:07,410 --> 00:54:08,345
DEVELOPMENT IN THAT ZONE. BUT 

1481
00:54:08,345 --> 00:54:13,583
OVERALL, THE ZONING THAT IN THIS

1482
00:54:13,583 --> 00:54:14,651
LEGISLATION VARIES FROM WHAT WAS

1483
00:54:14,651 --> 00:54:15,652
RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC IN 

1484
00:54:15,652 --> 00:54:16,886
OCTOBER OF 2024 IN FOUR KEY 

1485
00:54:16,886 --> 00:54:18,154
WAYS, WHICH I WILL TALK ABOUT 

1486
00:54:18,154 --> 00:54:19,422
MORE ON THE NEXT SLIDES. BUT 

1487
00:54:19,422 --> 00:54:20,957
THEY ARE AGAIN BEING UPDATED TO 

1488
00:54:20,957 --> 00:54:22,959
REFLECT THE NEW CENTER 

1489
00:54:22,959 --> 00:54:28,431
BOUNDARIES THAT WERE ADOPTED BY 

1490
00:54:28,431 --> 00:54:29,799
COUNCIL. THEY INCORPORATE LOCAL 

1491
00:54:29,799 --> 00:54:30,333
KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SPECIFIC 

1492
00:54:30,333 --> 00:54:31,801
CIRCUMSTANCES IN DIFFERENT 

1493
00:54:31,801 --> 00:54:33,803
LOCATIONS. TO IMPLEMENT 

1494
00:54:33,803 --> 00:54:34,471
REDUCTIONS ON SELECT FREQUENT 

1495
00:54:34,471 --> 00:54:35,538
TRANSIT ROUTES. AND THEY ALSO 

1496
00:54:35,538 --> 00:54:38,275
ADDRESS SPLIT ZONE LOTS. SO 

1497
00:54:38,275 --> 00:54:41,044
OBVIOUSLY THE ADOPTED CONFERENCE

1498
00:54:41,044 --> 00:54:43,813
OF PLAN HAS THE BOUNDARIES FOR 

1499
00:54:43,813 --> 00:54:49,519
CENTERS. AND SO THIS ZONING 

1500
00:54:49,519 --> 00:54:50,153
SIMPLY REFLECTS THOSE CHANGES 

1501
00:54:50,153 --> 00:54:51,121
THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN MADE BY 

1502
00:54:51,121 --> 00:54:52,722
COUNCIL. THEY INCLUDE SMALLER 

1503
00:54:52,722 --> 00:54:53,790
EXPANSIONS IN URBAN CENTERS THAT

1504
00:54:53,790 --> 00:54:55,759
DON'T HAVE LIGHT RAIL OR 

1505
00:54:55,759 --> 00:55:00,096
TRANSIT. THERE WERE AMENDMENTS 

1506
00:55:00,096 --> 00:55:01,831
IN 10 URBAN NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS

1507
00:55:01,831 --> 00:55:03,600
ON SPECIFIC CONDITIONS. AND THEN

1508
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:04,601
OF COURSE THE SHIFTING OF 

1509
00:55:04,601 --> 00:55:08,838
PHINNEY RIDGE TO EAST BALLARD. 

1510
00:55:08,838 --> 00:55:10,573
WE ALSO RECEIVED A LOT OF INPUT 

1511
00:55:10,573 --> 00:55:11,908
ON LOCAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT 

1512
00:55:11,908 --> 00:55:14,911
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED . EXAMPLES 

1513
00:55:14,911 --> 00:55:17,714
OF THAT INCLUDE TYPOGRAPHY, 

1514
00:55:17,714 --> 00:55:19,716
ENVIRONMENTALLY CRITICAL AREAS 

1515
00:55:19,716 --> 00:55:23,653
LIKE STREET SLOPES, WETLANDS, 

1516
00:55:23,653 --> 00:55:24,654
UNDEVELOPED RIGHTS-OF-WAY THAT 

1517
00:55:24,654 --> 00:55:35,198
MAY AFFECT HOW YOU CAN ACCESS A 

1518
00:55:42,772 --> 00:55:43,473
SITE. AND THEN ISOLATED OR 

1519
00:55:43,473 --> 00:55:44,507
IRREGULAR LOT SHAPES. THESE WERE

1520
00:55:44,507 --> 00:55:45,275
ALL THINGS GENERALLY CONSIDERED 

1521
00:55:45,275 --> 00:55:46,476
IN THE OCTOBER 2024 PROPOSAL, 

1522
00:55:46,476 --> 00:55:47,243
BUT WE RECEIVED 9000 COMMENTS. 

1523
00:55:47,243 --> 00:55:48,211
WE REVIEWED EACH OF THEM 

1524
00:55:48,211 --> 00:55:49,346
INDIVIDUALLY AND DID MORE WORK. 

1525
00:55:49,346 --> 00:55:50,714
A LOT OF THOSE REALLY BROUGHT UP

1526
00:55:50,714 --> 00:55:51,781
CONDITIONS THAT WE DECIDED WOULD

1527
00:55:51,781 --> 00:55:52,782
BE APPROPRIATE TO CHANGE THE 

1528
00:55:52,782 --> 00:55:53,983
ZONING FOR. THE PICTURE ON THE 

1529
00:55:53,983 --> 00:55:55,418
RIGHT IS AN EXAMPLE OF ONE WHERE

1530
00:55:55,418 --> 00:55:57,087
THEY HAVE A NUMBER OF THINGS 

1531
00:55:57,087 --> 00:55:57,821
HAPPENING ALTOGETHER. THIS IS AN

1532
00:55:57,821 --> 00:55:59,289
AREA THAT HAS A PORTION OF THE 

1533
00:55:59,289 --> 00:56:00,123
SITE WITHIN THE BUFFER OF 

1534
00:56:00,123 --> 00:56:01,157
THORNTON CREEK. BUT ALSO, THERE 

1535
00:56:01,157 --> 00:56:02,158
ARE UNDEVELOPED RIGHT OF WAYS 

1536
00:56:02,158 --> 00:56:08,465
THAT MAKE SOME OF THESE AREAS 

1537
00:56:08,465 --> 00:56:09,466
SEPARATE FROM EACH OTHER. 

1538
00:56:09,466 --> 00:56:10,400
IRREGULAR LOT CONDITIONS. ALL OF

1539
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:11,501
THESE THINGS WOULD MAKE IT VERY 

1540
00:56:11,501 --> 00:56:12,569
DIFFICULT TO DEVELOP AND WOULD 

1541
00:56:12,569 --> 00:56:13,903
RESULT IN NONIDEAL DEVELOPMENT 

1542
00:56:13,903 --> 00:56:16,139
CONDITIONS. THERE WERE A NUMBER 

1543
00:56:16,139 --> 00:56:18,041
OF FREQUENT TRANSIT ROUTES WHERE

1544
00:56:18,041 --> 00:56:23,813
WE ALSO REDUCED THE EXTENT OF 

1545
00:56:23,813 --> 00:56:24,714
THE FREQUENT TRANSIT ROUTES. 

1546
00:56:24,714 --> 00:56:25,582
THAT WAS BECAUSE OF FOUR 

1547
00:56:25,582 --> 00:56:26,182
DIFFERENT CONDITIONS. STEEP 

1548
00:56:26,182 --> 00:56:27,417
STREETS. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS 

1549
00:56:27,417 --> 00:56:31,187
MADRONA DRIVE NEXT TO MADRONA . 

1550
00:56:31,187 --> 00:56:32,389
A VERY STEEP ROAD THAT MAKES IT 

1551
00:56:32,389 --> 00:56:33,523
DIFFICULT TO USE TRANSIT AND 

1552
00:56:33,523 --> 00:56:34,691
WALKED TO SERVICES NEARBY. THERE

1553
00:56:34,691 --> 00:56:38,695
WERE TWO AREAS WHERE THE TRANSIT

1554
00:56:38,695 --> 00:56:40,096
SERVICE ACTUALLY CHANGED FROM 

1555
00:56:40,096 --> 00:56:40,997
WHERE WE STARTED THIS WORK. 

1556
00:56:40,997 --> 00:56:43,500
THOSE WERE IN SOUTHEAST MAGNOLIA

1557
00:56:43,500 --> 00:56:44,768
AND ALONG 10th AVENUE EAST IN 

1558
00:56:44,768 --> 00:56:45,668
NORTH CAPITOL HILL. SO THOSE 

1559
00:56:45,668 --> 00:56:50,740
AREAS NO LONGER MEET THE 

1560
00:56:50,740 --> 00:56:51,808
DEFINITION OF FREQUENT TRANSIT, 

1561
00:56:51,808 --> 00:56:52,876
SO WE REMOVED THEM FROM THE 

1562
00:56:52,876 --> 00:56:54,444
PROPOSAL. AND THEN THERE ARE TWO

1563
00:56:54,444 --> 00:56:55,245
HISTORIC BOULEVARDS WHERE WE 

1564
00:56:55,245 --> 00:56:56,913
ALSO MADE CHANGES. ONE IS 1070 

1565
00:56:56,913 --> 00:57:00,049
WEST , WHICH HAS A PORTION OF 

1566
00:57:00,049 --> 00:57:01,084
QUEEN ANNE BOULEVARD. AND THEN 

1567
00:57:01,084 --> 00:57:02,185
ALSO BAKER BOULEVARD ON THE 

1568
00:57:02,185 --> 00:57:03,787
OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY. THIS 

1569
00:57:03,787 --> 00:57:07,557
PICTURE IS OF QUEEN ANNE 

1570
00:57:07,557 --> 00:57:08,558
BOULEVARD. YOU CAN SEE THE GREEN

1571
00:57:08,558 --> 00:57:11,060
IS THE HISTORIC DESIGNATION. SO 

1572
00:57:11,060 --> 00:57:12,028
WE REMOVED THOSE AREAS THAT 

1573
00:57:12,028 --> 00:57:16,199
ABUTTED IT AND TOOK ONE BLOCK TO

1574
00:57:16,199 --> 00:57:19,102
LR 2 AS A TRANSITION BLOCK. 

1575
00:57:19,102 --> 00:57:24,641
LASTLY , SPLIT ZONE LOTS 

1576
00:57:24,641 --> 00:57:26,176
BASICALLY MEAN LOTS WHERE THERE 

1577
00:57:26,176 --> 00:57:26,810
ARE MULTIPLE ZONING DESIGNATIONS

1578
00:57:26,810 --> 00:57:27,977
ON ONE LOT. THESE CAN MAKE IT 

1579
00:57:27,977 --> 00:57:34,284
MORE DIFFICULT TO DEVELOP THESE 

1580
00:57:34,284 --> 00:57:35,318
SITES, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE 

1581
00:57:35,318 --> 00:57:35,885
ZONING IS DIFFERENT. 

1582
00:57:35,885 --> 00:57:36,553
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL AND 

1583
00:57:36,553 --> 00:57:37,887
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL IN THE 

1584
00:57:37,887 --> 00:57:39,489
SAME ONE. GENERALLY THESE 

1585
00:57:39,489 --> 00:57:40,256
CHANGES INVOLVED US INCREASING 

1586
00:57:40,256 --> 00:57:43,660
THE LOWER DENSITY ZONE TO MAKE 

1587
00:57:43,660 --> 00:57:44,828
IT CONSISTENT. HOWEVER, ON 

1588
00:57:44,828 --> 00:57:45,862
LARGER SITES, THERE WERE TIMES 

1589
00:57:45,862 --> 00:57:47,163
WHERE WE HAD A MORE NUANCED 

1590
00:57:47,163 --> 00:57:51,401
PROPOSAL FOR MANY REASONS. THE 

1591
00:57:51,401 --> 00:57:52,902
PICTURE ON THE RIGHT IS AN 

1592
00:57:52,902 --> 00:57:55,472
EXAMPLE IN BEACON HILL. THOSE 

1593
00:57:55,472 --> 00:57:57,173
TWO LOTS THAT ARE SHOWN IN 

1594
00:57:57,173 --> 00:58:02,045
YELLOW OUTLINE ARE ZONED A 

1595
00:58:02,045 --> 00:58:02,679
COMBINATION OF NEIGHBORHOOD 

1596
00:58:02,679 --> 00:58:03,279
COMMERCIAL AND NEIGHBORHOOD 

1597
00:58:03,279 --> 00:58:04,681
RESIDENTIAL. THIS PROPOSAL WOULD

1598
00:58:04,681 --> 00:58:05,615
MAKE THEM CONSISTENT 

1599
00:58:05,615 --> 00:58:06,449
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL SO IT 

1600
00:58:06,449 --> 00:58:08,151
WILL BE MORE EASY TO DEVELOP 

1601
00:58:08,151 --> 00:58:14,791
THEM. SO AS I MENTIONED, THERE 

1602
00:58:14,791 --> 00:58:15,358
ARE ALSO CHANGES TO THE 

1603
00:58:15,358 --> 00:58:16,192
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS IN 

1604
00:58:16,192 --> 00:58:17,026
ADDITION TO THE RE-ZONES. FIRST 

1605
00:58:17,026 --> 00:58:18,628
OF THE CHANGES TO LOWRISE 

1606
00:58:18,628 --> 00:58:21,698
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS . LOWRISE 

1607
00:58:21,698 --> 00:58:23,032
ZONES ARE MULTIFAMILY ZONES WITH

1608
00:58:23,032 --> 00:58:26,836
HEIGHT LIMITS OF 3 TO 5 STORIES 

1609
00:58:26,836 --> 00:58:28,137
. IN THIS LEGISLATION IT WOULD 

1610
00:58:28,137 --> 00:58:37,881
DO A NUMBER OF THINGS. ONE , IT 

1611
00:58:37,881 --> 00:58:39,249
WOULD IMPLEMENT A STACKED FLAT 

1612
00:58:39,249 --> 00:58:40,283
BONUS IN LOWRISE 1 AND LOWRISE 2

1613
00:58:40,283 --> 00:58:41,618
ZONES. THESE ARE THREE OR FOUR 

1614
00:58:41,618 --> 00:58:42,719
STORY ZONES. SIMILAR TO WHAT WAS

1615
00:58:42,719 --> 00:58:43,386
RECENTLY ADOPTED FOR 

1616
00:58:43,386 --> 00:58:44,153
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONES. 

1617
00:58:44,153 --> 00:58:45,455
SO TODAY, A STACKED FLAT IN A 

1618
00:58:45,455 --> 00:58:46,322
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONE 

1619
00:58:46,322 --> 00:58:47,557
COULD ACTUALLY BE LARGER THAN A 

1620
00:58:47,557 --> 00:58:49,359
STACKED FLAT IN EITHER OF THOSE 

1621
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:51,561
LOWRISE ONE OR LOWRISE TWO 

1622
00:58:51,561 --> 00:58:57,267
ZONES. OUR PROPOSAL IS SIMPLY TO

1623
00:58:57,267 --> 00:58:58,401
TAKE THE BASIC PROPOSAL OF 

1624
00:58:58,401 --> 00:58:59,002
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL AND 

1625
00:58:59,002 --> 00:59:00,370
APPLY IT ALSO TO LOWRISE 1 AND 2

1626
00:59:00,370 --> 00:59:03,539
ZONES. TO BE AT LEAST CONSISTENT

1627
00:59:03,539 --> 00:59:05,275
WITH WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR STACKED

1628
00:59:05,275 --> 00:59:06,209
FLATS. THE SECOND WOULD INCREASE

1629
00:59:06,209 --> 00:59:07,443
THE HEIGHT FOR LOWRISE 3 ZONES 

1630
00:59:07,443 --> 00:59:09,012
OUTSIDE OF CENTERS TO FIVE 

1631
00:59:09,012 --> 00:59:13,383
STORIES. SO TODAY, THE LOWRISE 3

1632
00:59:13,383 --> 00:59:18,788
ZONE IS VERY DIFFERENT IF YOU'RE

1633
00:59:18,788 --> 00:59:20,323
INSIDE A CENTER OR IF YOU ARE 

1634
00:59:20,323 --> 00:59:21,257
OUTSIDE. IF YOU'RE INSIDE A 

1635
00:59:21,257 --> 00:59:22,158
CENTER, IT ALLOWS FOR FIVE 

1636
00:59:22,158 --> 00:59:24,027
STORIES OF HEIGHT. IF YOU ARE 

1637
00:59:24,027 --> 00:59:25,094
OUTSIDE, IT ALLOWS FOR FOUR 

1638
00:59:25,094 --> 00:59:26,029
STORIES. IT ACTUALLY IS VERY 

1639
00:59:26,029 --> 00:59:29,699
SIMILAR TO A LOW RISE 2 ZONE. SO

1640
00:59:29,699 --> 00:59:30,667
THIS WOULD MAKE THEM CONSISTENT.

1641
00:59:30,667 --> 00:59:34,671
IT WOULD ALSO INCREASE THE 

1642
00:59:34,671 --> 00:59:35,538
F.A.R. ACROSS ALL LOWRISE 3 

1643
00:59:35,538 --> 00:59:38,574
ZONES TO 2.5. LOWRISE 3 HAS THE 

1644
00:59:38,574 --> 00:59:39,776
LOWEST F.A.R. PER STORY ALLOWED 

1645
00:59:39,776 --> 00:59:43,546
OF ANY ZONE IN THE CITY , AND SO

1646
00:59:43,546 --> 00:59:44,480
THIS WOULD MAKE IT MORE 

1647
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:46,149
CONSISTENT WITH OTHER ZONES. 

1648
00:59:46,149 --> 00:59:48,985
LOWRISE 3 WOULD ESSENTIALLY 

1649
00:59:48,985 --> 00:59:49,986
ALLOW WHAT IS ALLOWED IN 

1650
00:59:49,986 --> 00:59:51,621
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONE. 

1651
00:59:51,621 --> 00:59:53,890
YOU CAN DO ONE MORE STORY OF THE

1652
00:59:53,890 --> 01:00:01,064
SAME SIZE. SO JUST TO KIND OF 

1653
01:00:01,064 --> 01:00:02,265
TALK THROUGH WHAT THAT MEANS IN 

1654
01:00:02,265 --> 01:00:03,433
TERMS OF THE SPECTRUMS OF ZONES 

1655
01:00:03,433 --> 01:00:04,701
WE HAVE, THIS SLIDE SHOWS WHAT 

1656
01:00:04,701 --> 01:00:05,868
IS ALLOWED TODAY IN TERMS OF 

1657
01:00:05,868 --> 01:00:07,270
HOUSING TYPES AND HOW THAT WOULD

1658
01:00:07,270 --> 01:00:08,004
CHANGE. TODAY, A NEIGHBORHOOD 

1659
01:00:08,004 --> 01:00:10,406
RESIDENTIAL ZONE. YOU COULD DO 

1660
01:00:10,406 --> 01:00:10,974
THREE-STORY TOWNHOUSE STYLE 

1661
01:00:10,974 --> 01:00:12,041
DEVELOPMENT OR A FOUR STORY 

1662
01:00:12,041 --> 01:00:16,879
STACKED FLAT. IN A LOWRISE 1 

1663
01:00:16,879 --> 01:00:18,181
ZONE, YOU COULD DO THREE-STORY 

1664
01:00:18,181 --> 01:00:19,649
TOWNHOUSE. YOU COULD NOT DO FOUR

1665
01:00:19,649 --> 01:00:23,353
STORIES. IT ACTUALLY KIND OF 

1666
01:00:23,353 --> 01:00:24,787
GOES DOWN. IT WOULD BE A DOWN 

1667
01:00:24,787 --> 01:00:25,321
ZONE FROM NEIGHBORHOOD 

1668
01:00:25,321 --> 01:00:26,255
RESIDENTIAL TO LOWRISE 1 TODAY. 

1669
01:00:26,255 --> 01:00:30,093
LOWRISE 2 ZONES ALLOW FOR 

1670
01:00:30,093 --> 01:00:30,760
TOWNHOUSE STYLE DEVELOPMENT AND 

1671
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:32,228
THREE-STORY STACKED FLATS 

1672
01:00:32,228 --> 01:00:33,329
SIMILAR TO NEIGHBORHOOD 

1673
01:00:33,329 --> 01:00:35,698
RESIDENTIAL. SLIGHTLY LESS 

1674
01:00:35,698 --> 01:00:40,503
F.A.R. LOWRISE 3 ZONES OUTSIDE 

1675
01:00:40,503 --> 01:00:41,471
OF CENTERS ARE ACTUALLY VERY 

1676
01:00:41,471 --> 01:00:43,539
SIMILAR TO LOWRISE 2 ZONES AND 

1677
01:00:43,539 --> 01:00:44,207
ALLOW TOWNHOUSES OF THREE-STORY 

1678
01:00:44,207 --> 01:00:45,742
AND FOUR STORY APARTMENTS. LR3 

1679
01:00:45,742 --> 01:00:52,448
INSIDE OF CENTERS ALLOWS FOR 

1680
01:00:52,448 --> 01:00:53,316
FIVE-STORY ZONING, ALTHOUGH MANY

1681
01:00:53,316 --> 01:00:54,283
BUILDINGS ONLY GO TO FOUR 

1682
01:00:54,283 --> 01:00:55,685
STORIES BECAUSE OF LOW F.A.R. SO

1683
01:00:55,685 --> 01:00:59,555
THIS PROPOSAL WOULD MAKE -- 

1684
01:00:59,555 --> 01:01:00,823
WOULD ALLOW LOWRISE 1 ZONES TO 

1685
01:01:00,823 --> 01:01:02,291
HAVE FOUR STORY APARTMENTS 

1686
01:01:02,291 --> 01:01:03,393
SIMILAR TO NEIGHBORHOOD 

1687
01:01:03,393 --> 01:01:06,562
RESIDENTIAL LR2 . AND IT WOULD 

1688
01:01:06,562 --> 01:01:07,897
ALLOW FOR FIVE-STORY APARTMENTS 

1689
01:01:07,897 --> 01:01:10,033
IN LR3 EVEN IF THEY ARE OUTSIDE 

1690
01:01:10,033 --> 01:01:14,937
OF CENTERS. NEXT WOULD BE THE 

1691
01:01:14,937 --> 01:01:21,377
CHANGES TO OUR MIDRISE ZONES. 

1692
01:01:21,377 --> 01:01:22,745
MIDRISE ZONES ARE JUST ONE ZONE.

1693
01:01:22,745 --> 01:01:23,913
THEY ALLOW FOR SEVEN-STORY 

1694
01:01:23,913 --> 01:01:24,580
DEVELOPMENT. WE ARE PROPOSING 

1695
01:01:24,580 --> 01:01:26,149
CREATING A NEW SIX STORY 

1696
01:01:26,149 --> 01:01:30,153
RESIDENTIAL ZONE. MIDRISE ONE. 

1697
01:01:30,153 --> 01:01:36,926
THE INITIAL WOULD BE CALLED 

1698
01:01:36,926 --> 01:01:38,294
MIDRISE 2. APPLY BOTH TO THE 

1699
01:01:38,294 --> 01:01:39,729
MIDRISE 2 ZONE BUT ALSO THE NEW 

1700
01:01:39,729 --> 01:01:41,697
MIDRISE 1 ZONE. THE REASON IS 

1701
01:01:41,697 --> 01:01:43,132
MIDRISE ZONES TODAY HAVE THE 

1702
01:01:43,132 --> 01:01:44,634
MOST COMPLICATED STANDARDS OF 

1703
01:01:44,634 --> 01:01:47,070
ANY ZONE OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN. 

1704
01:01:47,070 --> 01:01:48,905
AND THEY HAVE THE KIND OF 

1705
01:01:48,905 --> 01:01:51,174
STANDARD FRONT REAR SIDE 

1706
01:01:51,174 --> 01:01:53,009
SETBACKS, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE 

1707
01:01:53,009 --> 01:01:54,610
UPPER-LEVEL FRONT SETBACKS. THEY

1708
01:01:54,610 --> 01:01:55,445
HAVE UPPER-LEVEL SIDE SETBACKS, 

1709
01:01:55,445 --> 01:01:57,814
WHICH ARE UNIQUE IN THE CITY. 

1710
01:01:57,814 --> 01:01:59,382
THEY ALSO HAVE A MAXIMUM WIDTH 

1711
01:01:59,382 --> 01:02:05,121
AND MAXIMUM DEPTH REQUIREMENTS. 

1712
01:02:05,121 --> 01:02:06,589
AND THE COMPLEX NATURE OF ALL OF

1713
01:02:06,589 --> 01:02:07,523
THOSE THINGS TOGETHER HAS 

1714
01:02:07,523 --> 01:02:08,758
RESULTED IN THAT ESSENTIALLY 

1715
01:02:08,758 --> 01:02:09,759
EVERY SINGLE PROJECT IN MIDRISE 

1716
01:02:09,759 --> 01:02:11,294
ZONES HAS TO COME IN AND GET 

1717
01:02:11,294 --> 01:02:12,829
DESIGN REVIEW DEPARTURES BEFORE 

1718
01:02:12,829 --> 01:02:14,831
THEY CAN DESIGN THEIR PROJECT. 

1719
01:02:14,831 --> 01:02:20,036
AND THOSE HAD BEEN GIVEN AWAY 

1720
01:02:20,036 --> 01:02:21,037
CONSISTENTLY. I THINK WE LOOKED 

1721
01:02:21,037 --> 01:02:22,105
AT FIVE PROJECTS AND EVERY 

1722
01:02:22,105 --> 01:02:23,940
SINGLE ONE GOT AT LEAST DESIGN 

1723
01:02:23,940 --> 01:02:27,410
STANDARDS DEPARTURES FOR AT 

1724
01:02:27,410 --> 01:02:28,344
LEAST TWO OF THOSE. 

1725
01:02:28,344 --> 01:02:29,312
ADDITIONALLY, THE UPPER LEVEL 

1726
01:02:29,312 --> 01:02:30,480
SETBACKS ARE ESPECIALLY 

1727
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:31,814
PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE FOR STACKED 

1728
01:02:31,814 --> 01:02:33,483
FLATS, PEOPLE TRY TO STACK THE 

1729
01:02:33,483 --> 01:02:36,886
BUILDINGS . ALL THE STAIRS AND 

1730
01:02:36,886 --> 01:02:39,422
PIPES ARE ALL IN A ROW. AND SO 

1731
01:02:39,422 --> 01:02:42,558
BY THOSE UPPER LEVEL SETBACKS 

1732
01:02:42,558 --> 01:02:43,960
MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DESIGN

1733
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:45,294
THOSE BUILDINGS AND MUCH MORE 

1734
01:02:45,294 --> 01:02:46,295
EXPENSIVE. SO WE WOULD PROPOSE 

1735
01:02:46,295 --> 01:02:48,231
HERE TO KEEP THE FRONT SETBACKS 

1736
01:02:48,231 --> 01:02:52,568
AS THEY EXIST , TO REDUCE THE 

1737
01:02:52,568 --> 01:02:53,569
REAR SETBACKS THAT ARE MORE 

1738
01:02:53,569 --> 01:02:54,871
SIMILAR TO OTHER MULTIFAMILY 

1739
01:02:54,871 --> 01:02:58,608
ZONES TO 10 FEET WITHOUT AN 

1740
01:02:58,608 --> 01:02:59,876
ALLEY AND ZERO FEET WITH AN 

1741
01:02:59,876 --> 01:03:01,811
ALLEY. THE SIDE WOULD BE REDUCED

1742
01:03:01,811 --> 01:03:03,713
TO FIVE FEET, WHICH IS SIMILAR 

1743
01:03:03,713 --> 01:03:04,447
TO OTHER MULTIFAMILY ZONES. AND 

1744
01:03:04,447 --> 01:03:05,715
THEN WE REMOVED THE UPPER LEVEL 

1745
01:03:05,715 --> 01:03:07,717
SETBACKS AND THE MAXIMUM WIDTH 

1746
01:03:07,717 --> 01:03:13,656
AND DEPTH. IMPORTANT TO 

1747
01:03:13,656 --> 01:03:14,657
UNDERSTAND THIS WOULD NOT CHANGE

1748
01:03:14,657 --> 01:03:15,691
THE OVERALL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF 

1749
01:03:15,691 --> 01:03:17,193
THE BUILDINGS BECAUSE IT WOULD 

1750
01:03:17,193 --> 01:03:18,161
STILL BE LIMITED BY F.A.R. BUT 

1751
01:03:18,161 --> 01:03:19,061
ALLOW FOR MORE FLEXIBILITY IN 

1752
01:03:19,061 --> 01:03:22,999
BUILDING SHAPES AND DESIGN. 

1753
01:03:22,999 --> 01:03:24,233
LASTLY, SOME MINOR CHANGES TO 

1754
01:03:24,233 --> 01:03:24,800
SCREENING REQUIREMENTS TO 

1755
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,470
CLARIFY THEM AND TO MAKE OUR 

1756
01:03:27,470 --> 01:03:28,104
F.A.R. MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES 

1757
01:03:28,104 --> 01:03:32,675
THE SAME . IT WOULD NOT CHANGE 

1758
01:03:32,675 --> 01:03:34,377
F.A.R. IN ANY OF OUR MULTIFAMILY

1759
01:03:34,377 --> 01:03:36,179
ZONES , BUT IT WOULD MAKE THE 

1760
01:03:36,179 --> 01:03:36,712
APPROACH IN NEIGHBORHOOD 

1761
01:03:36,712 --> 01:03:38,181
COMMERCIAL ZONES THE SAME AS WE 

1762
01:03:38,181 --> 01:03:39,282
CURRENTLY USE IN MULTIFAMILY 

1763
01:03:39,282 --> 01:03:42,318
ZONES . LASTLY, JUST WANT TO END

1764
01:03:42,318 --> 01:03:50,560
ON A NOTE ABOUT DISPLACEMENT. 

1765
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:51,727
WHEN THE COUNCIL WAS ADOPTING 

1766
01:03:51,727 --> 01:03:52,562
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THERE 

1767
01:03:52,562 --> 01:03:53,563
WAS A RESOLUTION TO THAT. 

1768
01:03:53,563 --> 01:03:54,497
COMPANION RESOLUTION THAT ASKED 

1769
01:03:54,497 --> 01:03:59,969
US TO COME BACK AND TALK ABOUT 

1770
01:03:59,969 --> 01:04:00,603
HOW THIS REZONED PROPOSAL WOULD 

1771
01:04:00,603 --> 01:04:01,237
IMPACT DISPLACEMENT. WE HAVE A 

1772
01:04:01,237 --> 01:04:03,439
MEMO THAT WE SENT TO COUNCIL A 

1773
01:04:03,439 --> 01:04:04,707
COUPLE WEEKS AGO THAT LAYS THAT 

1774
01:04:04,707 --> 01:04:06,175
OUT IN MORE DETAIL, BUT AT A 

1775
01:04:06,175 --> 01:04:07,343
HIGH LEVEL , THIS LEGISLATION 

1776
01:04:07,343 --> 01:04:09,212
WOULD HELP REDUCE DISPLACEMENT 

1777
01:04:09,212 --> 01:04:10,213
BY INCREASING THE SUPPLY AND 

1778
01:04:10,213 --> 01:04:11,714
DIVERSITY OF HOUSING IN 

1779
01:04:11,714 --> 01:04:15,918
NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS THE CITY , 

1780
01:04:15,918 --> 01:04:17,253
BY EXPANDING THE CAPACITY IN 

1781
01:04:17,253 --> 01:04:18,087
AREAS WITH LOWER RISK 

1782
01:04:18,087 --> 01:04:18,688
DISPLACEMENT AND SUBSTANTIAL 

1783
01:04:18,688 --> 01:04:20,223
MAJORITY OF THIS REZONED IN 

1784
01:04:20,223 --> 01:04:28,397
AREAS OF LOW RISK DISPLACEMENT. 

1785
01:04:28,397 --> 01:04:29,298
IT WOULD ALSO GENERATE MORE 

1786
01:04:29,298 --> 01:04:29,966
AFFORDABLE HOMES THROUGH 

1787
01:04:29,966 --> 01:04:30,833
MANDATORY HOUSING AFFORDABILITY 

1788
01:04:30,833 --> 01:04:31,767
AND THE MULTIFAMILY TAX 

1789
01:04:31,767 --> 01:04:37,940
EXEMPTION. IT IS IMPORTANT TO 

1790
01:04:37,940 --> 01:04:39,475
NOTE THAT WHILE IT IS AN OVERALL

1791
01:04:39,475 --> 01:04:40,476
BENEFIT, IT WILL ALSO RESULT IN 

1792
01:04:40,476 --> 01:04:41,477
MORE DEMOLITION OF HOMES. THOSE 

1793
01:04:41,477 --> 01:04:42,545
HOMES ARE PRIMARILY HOMES THAT 

1794
01:04:42,545 --> 01:04:43,479
ARE DETACHED HOMES WHICH ARE 

1795
01:04:43,479 --> 01:04:47,350
AFFORDABLE ONLY TO HIGHER INCOME

1796
01:04:47,350 --> 01:04:48,985
HOUSEHOLDS, BUT SOME OF THEM DO 

1797
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:50,286
INCLUDE RENTERS AS WELL. BUT THE

1798
01:04:50,286 --> 01:04:52,188
KEY THING HERE IS THAT THE NEW 

1799
01:04:52,188 --> 01:04:53,456
AFFORDABLE HOMES THAT WOULD BE 

1800
01:04:53,456 --> 01:04:54,390
GENERATED THROUGH THIS 

1801
01:04:54,390 --> 01:04:56,959
DEVELOPMENT ARE ACTUALLY 

1802
01:04:56,959 --> 01:04:57,660
SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER THAN THE 

1803
01:04:57,660 --> 01:04:59,629
NUMBER OF EXISTING RENTALS THAT 

1804
01:04:59,629 --> 01:05:07,637
WOULD UNDERGO REDEVELOPMENT. SO 

1805
01:05:07,637 --> 01:05:08,804
ON BALANCE WE WOULD BE CREATING 

1806
01:05:08,804 --> 01:05:10,139
A LOT MORE AFFORDABLE HOMES EVEN

1807
01:05:10,139 --> 01:05:11,641
THEN THE NUMBER OF HOMES THAT 

1808
01:05:11,641 --> 01:05:12,308
INCLUDES RENTALS THAT ARE BEING 

1809
01:05:12,308 --> 01:05:13,209
DEMOLISHED. SO THAT IS OUR 

1810
01:05:13,209 --> 01:05:14,343
PRESENTATION. AND HAPPY TO TAKE 

1811
01:05:14,343 --> 01:05:16,679

WAS DUE IN 2024 IN DECEMBER. 

1840
01:06:35,458 --> 01:06:36,125
>> YES, THAT'S RIGHT. THE 

1841
01:06:36,125 --> 01:06:37,093
EXECUTIVE HAS STOPPED ACCEPTING 

1842
01:06:37,093 --> 01:06:39,895
COMMENTS. WE DID THAT DURING THE

01:06:39,895 --> 01:06:40,896
FOUR PHASES WE ARE TALKING 

1844
01:06:40,896 --> 01:06:41,897
ABOUT. ESPECIALLY THE ZONING 

1845
01:06:41,897 --> 01:06:43,933

PERIOD DURING OUR FORMAL 

1851
01:06:52,708 --> 01:07:02,084
ENGAGEMENT PROCESS AND HAD THE 

1852
01:07:02,084 --> 01:07:03,119
WEBSITE UP. WE DID CONTINUE 

1853
01:07:03,119 --> 01:07:04,487
DURING NEARLY A YEAR THAT YOU 

1854
01:07:04,487 --> 01:07:05,254
ARE CONSIDERING THE COMP PLAN 

1855
01:07:05,254 --> 01:07:06,355
LEGISLATION AND PHASE ONE OF THE

1856
01:07:06,355 --> 01:07:07,923
ZONING. WE DID CONTINUE TO HAVE 

1857
01:07:07,923 --> 01:07:09,191
CONVERSATIONS WITH NEIGHBORHOOD 

1858
01:07:09,191 --> 01:07:13,596
STAKEHOLDERS EITHER COMMUNITY

01:07:13,596 --> 01:07:14,196
COUNCIL TYPE ORGANIZATIONS,

01:07:16,032 --> 01:07:17,433
COUNCILMEMBERS HELPED TO CONNECT

1862
01:07:17,433 --> 01:07:18,567
US WITH THOSE COMMUNITIES. AND 

1863
01:07:18,567 --> 01:07:25,141
THAT WAS ALSO PART OF TAKING IN 

1864
01:07:25,141 --> 01:07:25,841
PERSPECTIVE ON THE FINAL 

1865
01:07:25,841 --> 01:07:26,175
LEGISLATION. 

1866
01:07:26,175 --> 01:07:26,976

COUNCIL PASTOR LEGEND -- PASSED 

1869
01:07:31,247 --> 01:07:39,021
A RESOLUTION ADDING DIFFERENT 

1870
01:07:39,021 --> 01:07:40,256
THINGS. I CALLED IT THE JUNK 

1871
01:07:40,256 --> 01:07:41,724
DRAWER. A BUNCH OF EVERYTHING 

1872
01:07:41,724 --> 01:07:42,758
WENT INTO THERE. COULD YOU TALK 

1873
01:07:42,758 --> 01:07:44,260
ABOUT -- AND I KNOW IT IS ONLY 

1874
01:07:44,260 --> 01:07:45,428
MARCH, BUT COULD YOU TALK ABOUT 

1875
01:07:45,428 --> 01:07:46,595
WHERE YOU ARE IN THAT PROCESS 

1876
01:07:46,595 --> 01:07:47,596
IDENTIFYING NEXT STEPS FOR THAT 

1877
01:07:47,596 --> 01:07:47,897
RESOLUTION? 

1878
01:07:47,897 --> 01:07:49,632
>> YES. AND THANK YOU FOR THE 

1879
01:07:49,632 --> 01:07:51,867
WORK AND GENERATING. IT WAS A 

1880
01:07:51,867 --> 01:07:54,270
REALLY COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF 

1881
01:07:54,270 --> 01:08:01,644
ISSUES RESPONDING TO YOUR 

1882
01:08:01,644 --> 01:08:02,812
CONVERSATIONS LAST FALL. WHAT WE

1883
01:08:02,812 --> 01:08:04,413
CAN SAY TODAY IS THAT WE ARE IN 

1884
01:08:04,413 --> 01:08:05,548
THE PROCESS OF REFINING OUR WORK

1885
01:08:05,548 --> 01:08:06,949
PROGRAM AND WORKING WITH THE NEW

1886
01:08:06,949 --> 01:08:08,350
ADMINISTRATION TO CHART A PATH 

1887
01:08:08,350 --> 01:08:13,489
FORWARD, INCLUDING ONE OF THE 

1888
01:08:13,489 --> 01:08:14,557
PRIMARY THINGS WE WILL BE 

1889
01:08:14,557 --> 01:08:15,491
FOCUSING ON IS THE COMPANION 

1890
01:08:15,491 --> 01:08:16,325
RESOLUTION TO THE COMPREHENSIVE 

1891
01:08:16,325 --> 01:08:17,359
PLAN LEGISLATION THAT YOU ARE 

1892
01:08:17,359 --> 01:08:18,494
REFERRING TO. WE ARE ACTIVELY 

1893
01:08:18,494 --> 01:08:19,462
WORKING WITH THE NEAREST OFFICE 

1894
01:08:19,462 --> 01:08:24,166
RIGHT NOW TO DEVELOP A PACKAGE 

1895
01:08:24,166 --> 01:08:25,801
OF POTENTIAL CHANGES EITHER TO 

1896
01:08:25,801 --> 01:08:26,936
THE COMP PLAN ITSELF OR TO 

1897
01:08:26,936 --> 01:08:32,341
ZONING TO IMPLEMENT THE PLAN . 

1898
01:08:32,341 --> 01:08:33,909
YOU PROBABLY HAVE HEARD IT FROM 

1899
01:08:33,909 --> 01:08:36,645
OTHER FORMS . A DISCUSSION OF 

1900
01:08:36,645 --> 01:08:44,220
PHASE THREE OR PHASE FOUR. WE 

1901
01:08:44,220 --> 01:08:45,187
ARE RETHINKING SOME OF THE 

1902
01:08:45,187 --> 01:08:46,222
PACKAGING OF THAT AND WILL 

1903
01:08:46,222 --> 01:08:47,423
LIKELY BE DOING SOMETHING MORE 

1904
01:08:47,423 --> 01:08:48,491
INTEGRATED AROUND ITEMS IN THE 

1905
01:08:48,491 --> 01:08:50,526
RESOLUTION. OTHER CONCEPTS THAT 

1906
01:08:50,526 --> 01:08:58,667
ARE COMING EITHER FROM NEW STATE

1907
01:08:58,667 --> 01:08:59,835
LAW SUCH AS TRANSIT ORIENTED 

1908
01:08:59,835 --> 01:09:00,970
DEVELOPMENT BILL THAT WAS PASSED

1909
01:09:00,970 --> 01:09:02,538
A COUPLE OF SESSIONS AGO. HOUSE 

1910
01:09:02,538 --> 01:09:05,140
BILL 1491 . UP ZONES TO EXISTING

1911
01:09:05,140 --> 01:09:05,841
URBAN AND REGIONAL CENTERS, 

1912
01:09:05,841 --> 01:09:07,443
WHICH WAS A PRIORITY OF THE LAST

1913
01:09:07,443 --> 01:09:09,612
MAYOR AND IS ALSO FROM SOME OF 

1914
01:09:09,612 --> 01:09:11,180
OUR WORK ON PLANS FOR OUR 

1915
01:09:11,180 --> 01:09:12,548
REGIONAL CENTERS. AND OTHER 

1916
01:09:12,548 --> 01:09:14,450
POTENTIAL CHANGES THAT REFLECT 

1917
01:09:14,450 --> 01:09:19,622
BROADLY THE VISION FOR HOUSING 

1918
01:09:19,622 --> 01:09:20,589
ABUNDANCE AND DIVERSITY AND 

1919
01:09:20,589 --> 01:09:21,223
AFFORDABILITY ACROSS THE CITY. 

1920
01:09:21,223 --> 01:09:23,058
SO WE ARE GOING THROUGH A 

1921
01:09:23,058 --> 01:09:24,560
PROCESS OF ASSEMBLING WHAT THAT 

1922
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:29,732
PACKAGE MIGHT LOOK LIKE . THOSE 

1923
01:09:29,732 --> 01:09:30,966
ARE THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT 

1924
01:09:30,966 --> 01:09:31,600
WOULD REQUIRE ADDITIONAL 

1925
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:32,401
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. LIKELY IN 

1926
01:09:32,401 --> 01:09:34,203
A SUPPLEMENTAL EIS AND A 

1927
01:09:34,203 --> 01:09:36,038
CONSOLIDATED APPROACH WITH 

1928
01:09:36,038 --> 01:09:37,273
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT IS 

1929
01:09:37,273 --> 01:09:42,244
SOMETHING WE WILL BE LOOKING TO 

1930
01:09:42,244 --> 01:09:43,512
PUT TOGETHER FOR THAT. WE WILL 

1931
01:09:43,512 --> 01:09:44,446
BE PREPARED A LITTLE BIT FURTHER

1932
01:09:44,446 --> 01:09:46,048
DOWN THE ROAD TO SHARE MORE 

1933
01:09:46,048 --> 01:09:46,849
DETAILS ON THAT WITH COUNCIL. WE

1934
01:09:46,849 --> 01:09:48,918
ARE JUST NOT THERE YET. 

1935
01:09:48,918 --> 01:09:50,352
>> THANK YOU. CHAIR, IF I MAY 

1936
01:09:50,352 --> 01:09:51,921
ASK ANOTHER ONE, I WILL SAY I 

1937
01:09:51,921 --> 01:09:57,026
REALLY APPRECIATE SLIDE 22 . 

1938
01:09:57,026 --> 01:09:57,826
JUST HAVING THE SIDE-BY-SIDE 

1939
01:09:57,826 --> 01:10:02,831
VISUALS FOR PEOPLE IS SUPER 

1940
01:10:02,831 --> 01:10:03,432
HELPFUL. OFTENTIMES WE ARE 

1941
01:10:03,432 --> 01:10:04,500
LOOKING AT OVERVIEW AND LOOKING 

1942
01:10:04,500 --> 01:10:06,268
DOWN ON THINGS AND PEOPLE JUST 

1943
01:10:06,268 --> 01:10:09,004
DON'T UNDERSTAND . YOU KNOW, 

1944
01:10:09,004 --> 01:10:10,206
YOU NEED VISUALS TO HELP FOLKS. 

1945
01:10:10,206 --> 01:10:11,974
THE MORE VISUALS -- I HAVE 

1946
01:10:11,974 --> 01:10:15,811
TALKED TO Y'ALL ABOUT IT. Y'ALL

1947
01:10:15,811 --> 01:10:17,479
KNOW ME. MORE VISUALS YOU ALL 

1948
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:18,147
CAN HAVE THAT WILL HELP PEOPLE 

1949
01:10:18,147 --> 01:10:19,682
KIND OF UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEING

1950
01:10:19,682 --> 01:10:20,983
PROPOSED , WHAT CAN POTENTIALLY 

1951
01:10:20,983 --> 01:10:26,188
COME AND WHAT THE COUNCIL FOR 

1952
01:10:26,188 --> 01:10:28,591
WHAT YOU ALL HAVE PROPOSED WITH 

1953
01:10:28,591 --> 01:10:29,892
THE COUNCIL'S AMENDMENTS AND 

1954
01:10:29,892 --> 01:10:31,193
EVERYTHING CAN POTENTIALLY LOOK 

1955
01:10:31,193 --> 01:10:34,763
LIKE TO GIVE PEOPLE 

1956
01:10:34,763 --> 01:10:35,698
VISUALIZATION BECAUSE WHEN YOU 

1957
01:10:35,698 --> 01:10:39,168
WERE TALKING ON SLIDE -- I 

1958
01:10:39,168 --> 01:10:42,705
BELIEVE IT WAS 21 -- ABOUT THE 

1959
01:10:42,705 --> 01:10:43,939
F.A.R. AND THE LOW RISES, BEFORE

1960
01:10:43,939 --> 01:10:50,379
HAND I WOULD HAVE NO CLUE WHAT 

1961
01:10:50,379 --> 01:10:51,914
YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT. BUT NOW 

1962
01:10:51,914 --> 01:10:53,616
JUST BEING IN THE PROCESS, I DO.

1963
01:10:53,616 --> 01:10:54,283
BUT I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE 

1964
01:10:54,283 --> 01:10:55,517
GENERAL PUBLIC NOT KIND OF 

1965
01:10:55,517 --> 01:10:56,352
KNOWING AND HAVING THE VISUALS 

1966
01:10:56,352 --> 01:10:57,119
HELPS PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE 

1967
01:10:57,119 --> 01:10:59,588
TECHNICAL TERMS COMPARED TO WHAT

1968
01:10:59,588 --> 01:11:01,290
IS VISUALLY HAPPENING. AND I 

1969
01:11:01,290 --> 01:11:02,291
THINK THAT IS MORE PALATABLE FOR

1970
01:11:02,291 --> 01:11:04,360
PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND TO BE 

1971
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:06,729
ENGAGED IN THIS PROCESS. MORE OF

1972
01:11:06,729 --> 01:11:08,731
THAT WOULD BE SUPER HELPFUL. 

1973
01:11:08,731 --> 01:11:11,500
THANK YOU, CHAIR. 

1974
01:11:11,500 --> 01:11:17,439

AND UP THE QUESTION BECAUSE 

1978
01:11:22,044 --> 01:11:23,145

01:11:23,145 --> 01:11:25,948
TEAM WAS ENGAGED WITH YOU. THANK

01:11:34,256 --> 01:11:35,057
JOINING US TODAY BECAUSE IT IS 

1982
01:11:35,057 --> 01:11:35,924
HELPFUL, PARTICULARLY WHEN WE 

1983
01:11:35,924 --> 01:11:37,693
ARE ENGAGING WITH COMMUNITY, 

1984
01:11:37,693 --> 01:11:41,797
WHICH AS MR. HUBNER KNOWS 

1985
01:11:41,797 --> 01:11:42,431
BECAUSE HE IS BEEN TO A NUMBER 

1986
01:11:42,431 --> 01:11:43,666
OF THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS. TIED

1987
01:11:43,666 --> 01:11:47,536
TO THAT THOUGH WHAT WOULD ALSO 

1988
01:11:47,536 --> 01:11:48,470
BE VERY HELPFUL TO 

1989
01:11:48,470 --> 01:11:49,238
COUNCILMEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC 

1990
01:11:49,238 --> 01:11:50,406
BECAUSE I DO GET ASKED THIS 

1991
01:11:50,406 --> 01:11:54,376
QUESTION A LOT . IN FACT, MR. 

1992
01:11:54,376 --> 01:11:55,144
HUBNER WAS THERE ONE TIME 

1993
01:11:55,144 --> 01:11:56,545
REGARDING SETBACKS . AND THERE 

1994
01:11:56,545 --> 01:11:57,579
IS THESE DIFFERENCES AND 

1995
01:11:57,579 --> 01:11:59,081
DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES . HAVING

1996
01:11:59,081 --> 01:12:05,354
A VERSION LIKE SLIDE 23 TWO 

1997
01:12:05,354 --> 01:12:06,121
COUNCIL PRESIDENT'S POINT ABOUT

1998
01:12:06,121 --> 01:12:07,790
SLIDE 22 WITH THAT GRAPHIC -- I 

1999
01:12:07,790 --> 01:12:12,861
REALLY LIKE SLIDE 23 . TO BE 

2000
01:12:12,861 --> 01:12:14,296
HONEST WITH YOU, I WOULD LOVE TO

2001
01:12:14,296 --> 01:12:15,397
HAVE IT FOR THE DIFFERENT AREAS 

2002
01:12:15,397 --> 01:12:16,832
JUST TO UNDERSTAND NEIGHBORHOOD 

2003
01:12:16,832 --> 01:12:23,072
RESIDENTIAL AND THE LOWRISE, 

2004
01:12:23,072 --> 01:12:24,373
MIDRISE PIECES JUST SO WE CAN 

2005
01:12:24,373 --> 01:12:25,874
SEE THE CONTRAST. THAT IS REALLY

2006
01:12:25,874 --> 01:12:26,341
HELPFUL FOR NOT JUST 

2007
01:12:26,341 --> 01:12:27,142
COUNCILMEMBERS BUT FOR THE 

2008
01:12:27,142 --> 01:12:28,344
PUBLIC AND OUR STAFFS BECAUSE 

2009
01:12:28,344 --> 01:12:31,346
THERE'S SO MANY PIECES. AND I 

2010
01:12:31,346 --> 01:12:32,081
CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MANY 

2011
01:12:32,081 --> 01:12:33,015
AMENDMENTS WE HAVE RELATED TO 

2012
01:12:33,015 --> 01:12:37,353
SETBACKS DURING PHASE ONE. IT IS

2013
01:12:37,353 --> 01:12:38,153
HARD TO KEEP EVERYTHING 

2014
01:12:38,153 --> 01:12:38,821
STRAIGHT, PARTICULARLY WITH 

2015
01:12:38,821 --> 01:12:41,156
DIFFERENT TYPES OF AREAS . MY 

2016
01:12:41,156 --> 01:12:47,463
ASK IS , I LOVE SLIDE 23. YOU 

2017
01:12:47,463 --> 01:12:48,797
CAN HAVE A VERSION OF IT FOR THE

2018
01:12:48,797 --> 01:12:50,466
OTHER TYPES, IT WOULD BE GREAT. 

2019
01:12:50,466 --> 01:12:51,500
I REALLY ALSO APPRECIATE SLIDE 

2020
01:12:51,500 --> 01:13:01,076
18 SINCE I AM -- MY DISTRICT AND

2021
01:13:01,076 --> 01:13:05,748
THE CITY OVERALL IS NOT FLAT. SO

2022
01:13:05,748 --> 01:13:06,982
I KNOW WHEN OLYMPIA PASSES THEIR

2023
01:13:06,982 --> 01:13:08,083
LAWS, THEY DON'T REALLY THINK 

2024
01:13:08,083 --> 01:13:11,186
ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS . OR 

2025
01:13:11,186 --> 01:13:12,354
MAYBE THEY DO, BUT THEY DON'T 

2026
01:13:12,354 --> 01:13:13,422
WRITE IT DOWN. THE TOPOGRAPHY 

2027
01:13:13,422 --> 01:13:14,590
PIECES ARE HARD. WE ALWAYS JOKE 

2028
01:13:14,590 --> 01:13:15,758
THIS CAME UP RECENTLY TALKING TO

2029
01:13:15,758 --> 01:13:17,593
THE COMMUNITY THAT IF YOU GET UP

2030
01:13:17,593 --> 01:13:18,794
AT 15th AND YOU ARE HEADING 

2031
01:13:18,794 --> 01:13:20,129
EAST, THAT IS NOT A HALF-MILE 

2032
01:13:20,129 --> 01:13:22,831
WALK. THAT IS A CLIMB AND 

2033
01:13:22,831 --> 01:13:23,866
THERE'S GOING TO BE CHALLENGES.

2034
01:13:23,866 --> 01:13:25,033
AND THAT'S GOING TO HAVE AN 

2035
01:13:25,033 --> 01:13:26,335
IMPACT. SO UNDERSTANDING THESE 

2036
01:13:26,335 --> 01:13:29,972
PIECES ON SLIDE 18 IS ALSO VERY 

2037
01:13:29,972 --> 01:13:33,742
HELPFUL TO HAVE AT THE READY. 

2038
01:13:33,742 --> 01:13:35,277
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME 

2039
01:13:35,277 --> 01:13:41,784
ALONG THESE LINES WAS THE SIZE 

2040
01:13:41,784 --> 01:13:44,553
OF THE STREET AND ITS IMPACT IN 

2041
01:13:44,553 --> 01:13:46,221
TERMS OF THE ZONING DECISIONS 

2042
01:13:46,221 --> 01:13:49,625
BECAUSE GOING BACK TO 15th, 15th

2043
01:13:49,625 --> 01:13:53,228
IS VERY WIDE. OBVIOUSLY IT IS A 

2044
01:13:53,228 --> 01:13:54,663
MASS TRANSIT ROUTE. THE DRAVIS 

2045
01:13:54,663 --> 01:13:56,999
NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER GOING UP. WE

2046
01:13:56,999 --> 01:14:01,703
WILL DO QUEEN ANNE SIDE AS WELL.

2047
01:14:01,703 --> 01:14:03,806
IF 15th WAS ONLY HALF THE SIZE, 

2048
01:14:03,806 --> 01:14:05,040
THAT IS A DIFFERENT DYNAMIC. SO 

2049
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:06,809
HOW DOES THAT PLAY INTO THE 

2050
01:14:06,809 --> 01:14:09,845
DECISIONS RELATED TO ZONING AND 

2051
01:14:09,845 --> 01:14:11,180
SO FORTH IN TERMS OF WHAT THE 

2052
01:14:11,180 --> 01:14:12,948
STREET CAN HANDLE? BECAUSE 

2053
01:14:12,948 --> 01:14:17,085
AGAIN, 15th IS A GREAT EXAMPLE. 

2054
01:14:17,085 --> 01:14:18,654
IT CAN TAKE A LOT. I THINK ABOUT

2055
01:14:18,654 --> 01:14:26,829
GOING INTO COUNCIL MEMBER 

2056
01:14:26,829 --> 01:14:28,297
STRAUSS' DISTRICT. WHEN YOU HIT

2057
01:14:28,297 --> 01:14:29,364
MARKET STREET, IT IS VERY WIDE. 

2058
01:14:29,364 --> 01:14:30,432
GOING VERTICAL THERE MAKES A LOT

2059
01:14:30,432 --> 01:14:31,633
OF SENSE. I WAS JUST CURIOUS 

2060
01:14:31,633 --> 01:14:32,234
ABOUT THAT FACTOR. 

2061
01:14:32,234 --> 01:14:33,869
>> YEAH. I WOULD SAY THAT STREET

2062
01:14:33,869 --> 01:14:34,970
WIDTHS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE 

2063
01:14:34,970 --> 01:14:36,338
MANY THINGS WE TAKE INTO 

2064
01:14:36,338 --> 01:14:39,741
ACCOUNT. THERE WAS NO CLEAR 

2065
01:14:39,741 --> 01:14:40,576
FORMULA. THERE CERTAINLY WERE 

2066
01:14:40,576 --> 01:14:43,946
PLACES WITH REALLY SMALL 

2067
01:14:43,946 --> 01:14:47,749
RIGHTS-OF-WAY. LESS THAN 20 FEET

2068
01:14:47,749 --> 01:14:49,318
THAT WERE SIMPLY DISQUALIFIED 

2069
01:14:49,318 --> 01:14:50,085
BECAUSE THE ENTIRE RIGHT-OF-WAY 

2070
01:14:50,085 --> 01:14:51,720
WAS SO SMALL. AND THERE WERE 

2071
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:53,388
ALSO AREAS WHERE THE ROADS WERE 

2072
01:14:53,388 --> 01:14:58,927
UNIMPROVED AND THINGS. AND THAT 

2073
01:14:58,927 --> 01:15:00,095
WAS ALSO KIND OF A 

2074
01:15:00,095 --> 01:15:00,729
DISQUALIFICATION. BUT OVERALL IT

2075
01:15:00,729 --> 01:15:01,697
WAS ONE OF MANY FACTORS 

2076
01:15:01,697 --> 01:15:02,497
INCLUDED. OBVIOUSLY THE QUARTERS

2077
01:15:02,497 --> 01:15:05,033
PROPOSAL ARE ALL STREETS THAT 

2078
01:15:05,033 --> 01:15:08,403
ARE SUBSTANTIAL TWO LANE TRAFFIC

2079
01:15:08,403 --> 01:15:09,705
AND ALL VERY APPROPRIATE FOR 

2080
01:15:09,705 --> 01:15:13,141
DEVELOPMENT . ONCE YOU GET INTO 

2081
01:15:13,141 --> 01:15:13,809
NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS, OBVIOUSLY 

2082
01:15:13,809 --> 01:15:22,518
IT VARIES -- A LOT. THAT WAS ONE

2083
01:15:22,518 --> 01:15:23,785
OF THE MANY THINGS TAKEN INTO 

2084
01:15:23,785 --> 01:15:24,152
CONSIDERATION. 

2085
01:15:24,152 --> 01:15:25,254
>> OKAY. THANK YOU. WE MAY HAVE 

2086
01:15:25,254 --> 01:15:26,388
FOLLOW-UPS ON THAT. ONE OF THE 

2087
01:15:26,388 --> 01:15:27,623
THINGS I LIKE IN TERMS OF 

2088
01:15:27,623 --> 01:15:31,426
CORRIDORS PARTICULARLY -- OUR 

2089
01:15:31,426 --> 01:15:32,928
OPCD DIRECTOR DID NOT LIKE. THE 

2090
01:15:32,928 --> 01:15:35,330
CORRIDORS HAVING NOT JUST THESE 

2091
01:15:35,330 --> 01:15:39,735
PIECES BUT NEIGHBORHOOD 

2092
01:15:39,735 --> 01:15:43,305
COMMERCIAL. NEIGHBORHOOD 

2093
01:15:43,305 --> 01:15:44,273
COMMERCIAL IS NOT MENTIONED IN 

2094
01:15:44,273 --> 01:15:45,541
THIS BRIEFING, BUT FOR 

2095
01:15:45,541 --> 01:15:46,775
CORRIDORS, IS THAT AN OPTION WE 

2096
01:15:46,775 --> 01:15:48,377
COULD LOOK TO YOU TO MAYBE 

2097
01:15:48,377 --> 01:15:52,414
CREATE A NEIGHBORHOOD VILLAGE 

2098
01:15:52,414 --> 01:15:53,348
TYPE OF OPTION? 

2099
01:15:53,348 --> 01:15:56,084
>> YEAH. I WILL FIRST SAY THE 

2100
01:15:56,084 --> 01:15:59,121
PROPOSAL ITSELF DOES NOT CREATE 

2101
01:15:59,121 --> 01:16:00,155
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF NEW 

2102
01:16:00,155 --> 01:16:01,123
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL. AS WE 

2103
01:16:01,123 --> 01:16:02,190
ARE LOOKING AT WE CERTAINLY 

2104
01:16:02,190 --> 01:16:05,560
HEARD A LOT FROM THE PUBLIC 

2105
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:06,561
INTEREST IN SHOPS AND SERVICES. 

2106
01:16:06,561 --> 01:16:09,197
BUT WE ALSO HEARD A LOT ABOUT 

2107
01:16:09,197 --> 01:16:10,198
THE AMOUNT OF VACANCIES THAT 

2108
01:16:10,198 --> 01:16:11,433
ALREADY EXIST IN SPACES. AND SO 

2109
01:16:11,433 --> 01:16:18,507
WE DID NOT AS PART OF THIS HAVE 

2110
01:16:18,507 --> 01:16:19,308
A SUBSTANTIAL EXPANSION OF 

2111
01:16:19,308 --> 01:16:19,975
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL LARGELY 

2112
01:16:19,975 --> 01:16:21,610
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE DATA 

2113
01:16:21,610 --> 01:16:22,844
TO SUGGEST WHAT THE RIGHT 

2114
01:16:22,844 --> 01:16:24,046
BALANCE IS. WE CERTAINLY HEARD A

2115
01:16:24,046 --> 01:16:28,183
LOT FROM THE PUBLIC ABOUT AN 

2116
01:16:28,183 --> 01:16:29,251
INTEREST IN THAT. WITH THAT 

2117
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:30,352
SAID, THE PROPOSAL IN FRONT OF 

2118
01:16:30,352 --> 01:16:31,553
YOU. YES. THAT COULD BE AN 

2119
01:16:31,553 --> 01:16:32,354
OPTION THE COUNCIL COULD 

2120
01:16:32,354 --> 01:16:33,388
CONSIDER TO CREATE MORE 

2121
01:16:33,388 --> 01:16:35,257
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL IN 

2122
01:16:35,257 --> 01:16:36,992
AREAS. WE DID NOT STUDY A HUGE 

2123
01:16:36,992 --> 01:16:39,661
EXPANSION OF THAT , BUT 

2124
01:16:39,661 --> 01:16:40,595
CERTAINLY ADDING SMALL AMOUNTS 

2125
01:16:40,595 --> 01:16:43,665
OF AREAS IS THE KIND OF CHANGE 

2126
01:16:43,665 --> 01:16:45,534
THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED. 

2127
01:16:45,534 --> 01:16:47,369
>> YES. 

2128
01:16:47,369 --> 01:16:49,871
>> BRENNON, COULD YOU SPEAK TO 

2129
01:16:49,871 --> 01:16:52,741
CHANGES EITHER MADE LAST YEAR OR

2130
01:16:52,741 --> 01:16:53,875
THIS LEGISLATION RELATED TO 

2131
01:16:53,875 --> 01:16:55,243
COMMERCIAL USES ALLOWED IN 

2132
01:16:55,243 --> 01:17:01,783
LOWRISE ? AND THEN ALSO ANY 

2133
01:17:01,783 --> 01:17:02,884
CHANGES TO HEIGHTS IN 

2134
01:17:02,884 --> 01:17:03,418
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL. 

2135
01:17:03,418 --> 01:17:04,152
>> YEAH. THAT IS A GREAT 

2136
01:17:04,152 --> 01:17:04,653
QUESTION. NEIGHBORHOOD 

2137
01:17:04,653 --> 01:17:05,654
COMMERCIALS ARE KIND OF OUR 

2138
01:17:05,654 --> 01:17:07,489
WORKFORCE COMMERCIAL SPACE 

2139
01:17:07,489 --> 01:17:12,060
DRIVER BECAUSE IT ALLOWS FOR A 

2140
01:17:12,060 --> 01:17:13,228
LOT MORE GROUND FLOOR. IT GOES 

2141
01:17:13,228 --> 01:17:14,663
RIGHT TO THE STREET. BUT IT IS 

2142
01:17:14,663 --> 01:17:15,697
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT UNDER 

2143
01:17:15,697 --> 01:17:18,834
CHANGES IN RECENT YEARS AND NOW 

2144
01:17:18,834 --> 01:17:20,002
WITH NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL 

2145
01:17:20,002 --> 01:17:23,438
UPDATE , WE DO NOW ALLOW 

2146
01:17:23,438 --> 01:17:25,040
COMMERCIAL IN ALL OF OUR 

2147
01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:31,847
MULTIFAMILY ZONES . NEIGHBORHOOD

2148
01:17:31,847 --> 01:17:32,447
RESIDENTIAL, LOWRISE 

2149
01:17:32,447 --> 01:17:33,115
MULTIFAMILY, AND HIGH-RISE. IT 

2150
01:17:33,115 --> 01:17:34,649
IS LIMITED IN TERMS OF SIZE. SO 

2151
01:17:34,649 --> 01:17:35,817
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET GROCERY

2152
01:17:35,817 --> 01:17:37,019
STORES IN THOSE KINDS OF PLACES.

2153
01:17:37,019 --> 01:17:39,187
THAT IS THERE. WE OBVIOUSLY DID 

2154
01:17:39,187 --> 01:17:40,222
EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL

2155
01:17:40,222 --> 01:17:41,723
ZONES OFTEN LOOK AT INCREASING 

2156
01:17:41,723 --> 01:17:44,159
THE HEIGHT TO ALLOW FOR MORE 

2157
01:17:44,159 --> 01:17:45,494
HOUSING ON TOP OF THOSE SPACES 

2158
01:17:45,494 --> 01:17:48,764
AS THEY REDEVELOP . 

2159
01:17:48,764 --> 01:17:50,165
>> OKAY, GREAT. THANK YOU. EVERY

2160
01:17:50,165 --> 01:17:52,000
QUESTION MR. HUBNER ASKS IS A 

2161
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,136
GREAT QUESTION. MY LAST 

2162
01:17:54,136 --> 01:17:56,805
QUESTION, CHAIR , AS IT RELATES 

2163
01:17:56,805 --> 01:18:02,377
TO DISPLACEMENT , I THINK THIS 

2164
01:18:02,377 --> 01:18:03,545
IS A SUPER IMPORTANT SLIDE. 

2165
01:18:03,545 --> 01:18:04,813
SLIDE 25. AND WE REALLY NEED TO 

2166
01:18:04,813 --> 01:18:06,248
BE CAREFUL IN THIS. IN A LOT OF 

2167
01:18:06,248 --> 01:18:13,388
WAYS, THEY ARE A GREAT WAY TO 

2168
01:18:13,388 --> 01:18:14,022
ALLOW MULTI-GENERATIONS TO 

2169
01:18:14,022 --> 01:18:15,323
REMAIN IN PLACE AND NOT GET 

2170
01:18:15,323 --> 01:18:16,725
DISPLACED. SO THIS IS AN AREA 

2171
01:18:16,725 --> 01:18:18,093
THAT WE REALLY NEED TO BE 

2172
01:18:18,093 --> 01:18:19,594
CAREFUL ABOUT AND REALLY TRY TO 

2173
01:18:19,594 --> 01:18:22,764
PROMOTE IN SOME WAYS. I'M NOT 

2174
01:18:22,764 --> 01:18:23,899
SURE EXACTLY HOW, BUT WE SHOULD 

2175
01:18:23,899 --> 01:18:25,901
BE LOOKING TO PROMOTE THOSE 

2176
01:18:25,901 --> 01:18:27,302
OPTIONS AND WAYS TO GO ABOUT IT.

2177
01:18:27,302 --> 01:18:32,908
BY THE WAY, I SEE AN FTE. 

2178
01:18:32,908 --> 01:18:33,875
OBVIOUSLY MFTE JUST GOT UPDATED 

2179
01:18:33,875 --> 01:18:35,477
AND THERE'S LOTS OF TALK ABOUT 

2180
01:18:35,477 --> 01:18:38,547
NH AS WELL. SOME OF THESE THINGS

2181
01:18:38,547 --> 01:18:40,082
MAY HAVE A FACTOR OVER THE NEXT 

2182
01:18:40,082 --> 01:18:42,818
10 YEARS. OF COURSE THIS COMP 

2183
01:18:42,818 --> 01:18:44,119
PLAN PROCESS MIGHT GET US TO THE

2184
01:18:44,119 --> 01:18:50,859
NEXT 10 YEAR SPOT GIVEN THE NEXT

2185
01:18:50,859 --> 01:18:51,760
PHASES ARE STRETCHED OUT AS THEY

2186
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:52,761
ARE. SORRY FOR THAT EDITORIAL 

2187
01:18:52,761 --> 01:18:53,995
COMMENT. BUT I THINK 

2188
01:18:53,995 --> 01:18:57,432
DISPLACEMENT . SLIDE 25. 

2189
01:18:57,432 --> 01:19:02,003
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ IS NOT 

2190
01:19:02,003 --> 01:19:03,939
HERE. OH, SHE IS ONLINE. SHE HAS

2191
01:19:03,939 --> 01:19:05,640
GOT US ALL TRAINED TO LOOK FOR 

2192
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:07,509
SLIDE NUMBERS. AND SO I WANT TO 

2193
01:19:07,509 --> 01:19:10,445
THANK COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ FOR 

2194
01:19:10,445 --> 01:19:11,580
TRAINING HER COLLEAGUES ON THAT 

2195
01:19:11,580 --> 01:19:18,320
POINT . BUT AGAIN , THIS SLIDE 

2196
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:20,322
IS VERY IMPORTANT AND I THINK WE

2197
01:19:20,322 --> 01:19:21,289
AS A BODY SHOULD BE LOOKING TO 

2198
01:19:21,289 --> 01:19:21,957
BE VERY CAREFUL WITH IT. THANK 

2199
01:19:21,957 --> 01:19:22,324
YOU, CHAIR. 

2200
01:19:22,324 --> 01:19:23,358
>> THANK YOU. 

2201
01:19:23,358 --> 01:19:26,194
>> AND I AGREE. THANK YOU, 

2202
01:19:26,194 --> 01:19:28,163
COUNCILMEMBER JUAREZ, FOR 

2203
01:19:28,163 --> 01:19:38,640
TRAINING US. COUNCILMEMBER 

2204
01:19:39,374 --> 01:19:39,541
RINCK. 

2205
01:19:39,541 --> 01:19:40,175
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR, AND THANK 

2206
01:19:40,175 --> 01:19:40,809
YOU BOTH FOR THE PRESENTATION 

2207
01:19:40,809 --> 01:19:41,576
TODAY. I'M GOING TO DIVE INTO 

2208
01:19:41,576 --> 01:19:42,244
JUST THREE QUESTIONS FOR TODAY. 

2209
01:19:42,244 --> 01:19:43,612
VERY EXCITED TO BE ENGAGING ON 

2210
01:19:43,612 --> 01:19:44,346
THE NEXT PHASE OF THE COMP PLAN.

2211
01:19:44,346 --> 01:19:45,981
I'M SURE IT WILL BE JUST AS 

2212
01:19:45,981 --> 01:19:49,284
THRILLING AS THE LAST PHASE WAS.

2213
01:19:49,284 --> 01:19:51,019
TAKING US TO SLIDE 14 BECAUSE 

2214
01:19:51,019 --> 01:19:52,020
I'M ALSO TRAINED BY COUNCIL 

2215
01:19:52,020 --> 01:19:55,323
MEMBER JUAREZ ON SLIDE NUMBERS ,

2216
01:19:55,323 --> 01:19:56,925
I JUST WANTED TO DIVE INTO THIS 

2217
01:19:56,925 --> 01:19:58,126
POINT QUICKLY. AS A POINT OF 

2218
01:19:58,126 --> 01:19:58,960
CURIOSITY, ARE THERE ANY 

2219
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:00,695
REMAINING LR OR MR ZONES THAT 

2220
01:20:00,695 --> 01:20:04,199
DON'T HAVE REQUIREMENTS AND IF 

2221
01:20:04,199 --> 01:20:05,567
SO IS THERE A REASON NOT TO 

2222
01:20:05,567 --> 01:20:06,101
APPLY TO THEM? 

2223
01:20:06,101 --> 01:20:07,435
>> YEAH. THE ONLY ZONES THAT 

2224
01:20:07,435 --> 01:20:16,044
DON'T HAVE THOSE MHR HISTORIC 

2225
01:20:16,044 --> 01:20:17,279
DISTRICTS AND AREAS ON THE 

2226
01:20:17,279 --> 01:20:18,213
SHORELINE. THOSE ARE AREAS WE 

2227
01:20:18,213 --> 01:20:18,947
PURPOSELY CHOSE NOT TO APPLY 

2228
01:20:18,947 --> 01:20:20,715
THEM BACK WHEN NHA WAS IMPLEMENT

2229
01:20:20,715 --> 01:20:21,416
IT. WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROPOSALS

2230
01:20:21,416 --> 01:20:24,786
TO MODIFY THEM NOW. 

2231
01:20:24,786 --> 01:20:27,622
>> INTERESTING. TAKING US TO 

2232
01:20:27,622 --> 01:20:31,459
SLIDE 20 , CAN YOU SPEAK TO WHY 

2233
01:20:31,459 --> 01:20:37,766
SPLIT BROADLY REMOVED FROM THE 

2234
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:38,667
PROPOSED ZONING CHANGES AND WHAT

2235
01:20:38,667 --> 01:20:40,836
THE PLAN IS TO REMEDY THESE IN 

2236
01:20:40,836 --> 01:20:41,570
THE FUTURE? 

2237
01:20:41,570 --> 01:20:43,638
>> SORRY. THE CHANGE THAT WAS 

2238
01:20:43,638 --> 01:20:52,714
MADE WAS PRIMARILY TO ADDRESS 

2239
01:20:52,714 --> 01:20:53,849
SPLIT ZONE LOTS. PROPOSED ZONING

2240
01:20:53,849 --> 01:20:54,850
CHANGES IN AREAS THAT WERE SPLIT

2241
01:20:54,850 --> 01:20:56,518
ZONE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE 

2242
01:20:56,518 --> 01:20:59,554
THAT SPLIT ZONE LOTS OCCUR 

2243
01:20:59,554 --> 01:21:00,722
THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THERE ARE 

2244
01:21:00,722 --> 01:21:02,357
LOTS AND LOTS OF EXAMPLES. WE 

2245
01:21:02,357 --> 01:21:06,061
ONLY CHOSE TO ADDRESS THOSE ONES

2246
01:21:06,061 --> 01:21:07,462
THAT WERE KIND OF IN THE SCOPE 

2247
01:21:07,462 --> 01:21:08,697
OF THIS, I.E., IN OR DIRECTLY 

2248
01:21:08,697 --> 01:21:17,606
ADJACENT TO NEIGHBORHOOD 

2249
01:21:17,606 --> 01:21:19,007
CENTERS. SO THERE ARE A LOT OF 

2250
01:21:19,007 --> 01:21:20,475
SPLIT ZONE LOTS THAT WOULD NOT 

2251
01:21:20,475 --> 01:21:21,576
BE ADDRESSED BY THIS BUT WE DO 

2252
01:21:21,576 --> 01:21:22,577
HAVE AN INTEREST TO POTENTIALLY 

2253
01:21:22,577 --> 01:21:23,378
DO THAT AS FOLLOW-UP 

2254
01:21:23,378 --> 01:21:24,479
LEGISLATION. SO THE CHANGES FROM

2255
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:25,447
OCTOBER 24 WERE PRIMARILY TO 

2256
01:21:25,447 --> 01:21:26,648
ADDRESS MORE SPLIT ZONE LOTS. I 

2257
01:21:26,648 --> 01:21:27,916
AM AWARE, HOWEVER, THERE WERE A 

2258
01:21:27,916 --> 01:21:29,351
COUPLE PLACES WHERE THE PROPOSAL

2259
01:21:29,351 --> 01:21:32,220
SHRANK AND SO WE DID NOT ADDRESS

2260
01:21:32,220 --> 01:21:33,388
SPLIT ZONE LOTS IN THOSE AREAS. 

2261
01:21:33,388 --> 01:21:34,322
PRIMARILY WE INCREASED THE 

2262
01:21:34,322 --> 01:21:35,657
NUMBER OF SPLIT ZONES THAT ARE 

2263
01:21:35,657 --> 01:21:35,957
ADDRESSED. 

2264
01:21:35,957 --> 01:21:37,292
>> UNDERSTOOD. THANK YOU FOR 

2265
01:21:37,292 --> 01:21:38,326
CLARIFYING THAT. AND MY LAST 

2266
01:21:38,326 --> 01:21:39,561
QUESTION IS ALSO ON SLIDE 22 

2267
01:21:39,561 --> 01:21:43,398
BECAUSE I AGREE WITH CONSUL 

2268
01:21:43,398 --> 01:21:44,266
PRESIDENT HOLLINGSWORTH. IT IS 

2269
01:21:44,266 --> 01:21:46,034
REALLY HELPFUL TO SEE THESE 

2270
01:21:46,034 --> 01:21:52,073
CHANGES ACROSS . BUT WHEN I LOOK

2271
01:21:52,073 --> 01:21:53,908
AT THIS, I SEE NOT A LOT OF 

2272
01:21:53,908 --> 01:21:56,845
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NR, LR 1, AND

2273
01:21:56,845 --> 01:21:58,813
LR2 NOW, ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT 

2274
01:21:58,813 --> 01:22:02,584
HAS BEEN TRANSMITTED. THEY LOOK 

2275
01:22:02,584 --> 01:22:03,652
NEARLY IDENTICAL. IS THERE CAUSE

2276
01:22:03,652 --> 01:22:05,921
TO MAYBE CONSOLIDATE LR ZONES 

2277
01:22:05,921 --> 01:22:06,921
SINCE THERE IS SO LITTLE 

2278
01:22:06,921 --> 01:22:09,991
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM , OR IS 

2279
01:22:09,991 --> 01:22:11,293
THERE SOMETHING I AM MISSING 

2280
01:22:11,293 --> 01:22:11,493
HERE? 

2281
01:22:11,493 --> 01:22:16,364
>> SO, FIRST OF ALL, TO 

2282
01:22:16,364 --> 01:22:17,065
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE, WE WILL 

2283
01:22:17,065 --> 01:22:18,233
PUT TOGETHER A SLIDE THAT HAS 

2284
01:22:18,233 --> 01:22:19,701
ALL OF THE ZONES TOGETHER IN ONE

2285
01:22:19,701 --> 01:22:20,835
PLACE. WE HAVEN'T TODAY FOR 

2286
01:22:20,835 --> 01:22:22,170
LOWRISE ZONES AND WE HAVE IT FOR

2287
01:22:22,170 --> 01:22:23,171
MIDRISE BUT NOT ALTOGETHER. SO 

2288
01:22:23,171 --> 01:22:24,372
THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. THERE ARE

2289
01:22:24,372 --> 01:22:29,644
SMALL BUT MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCES

2290
01:22:29,644 --> 01:22:30,845
BETWEEN SOME OF THOSE ZONES. THE

2291
01:22:30,845 --> 01:22:31,680
BIGGEST ONES ARE BETWEEN 

2292
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:33,081
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL AND LOW

2293
01:22:33,081 --> 01:22:36,251
RISE . NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL 

2294
01:22:36,251 --> 01:22:37,352
HAVE LARGER SETBACKS. THEY HAVE 

2295
01:22:37,352 --> 01:22:38,253
A DENSITY LIMIT WHEREAS LOWRISE 

2296
01:22:38,253 --> 01:22:39,487
DOES NOT HAVE A DENSITY LIMIT. 

2297
01:22:39,487 --> 01:22:46,027
IT HAS SMALLER SETBACKS. THE 

2298
01:22:46,027 --> 01:22:47,862
DIFFERENCES ARE PRETTY MINOR. 

2299
01:22:47,862 --> 01:22:48,530
THERE IS SOME F.A.R. DIFFERENCES

2300
01:22:48,530 --> 01:22:54,469
FOR TOWNHOUSES. WHETHER IT WOULD

2301
01:22:54,469 --> 01:22:55,904
MAKE SENSE TO COMBINE OR NOT IS 

2302
01:22:55,904 --> 01:22:57,806
KIND OF A POLICY CALL THAT WE 

2303
01:22:57,806 --> 01:22:58,540
DON'T HAVE A POSITION ON THAT 

2304
01:22:58,540 --> 01:23:00,475
RIGHT NOW. YEAH. IT COULD BE A 

2305
01:23:00,475 --> 01:23:04,646
VALID QUESTION TO DISCUSS. 

2306
01:23:04,646 --> 01:23:05,714
>> THANK YOU FOR THAT. THOSE ARE

2307
01:23:05,714 --> 01:23:06,648
MY QUESTIONS FOR TODAY. THANK 

2308
01:23:06,648 --> 01:23:07,849
YOU SO MUCH, AND THANK YOU, 

2309
01:23:07,849 --> 01:23:08,216
CHAIR. 

2310
01:23:08,216 --> 01:23:15,557
>> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER 

2311
01:23:15,557 --> 01:23:15,990
FOSTER. 

2312
01:23:15,990 --> 01:23:17,359
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR. 

2313
01:23:17,359 --> 01:23:18,059
THANK YOU, PRESENTERS. REALLY 

2314
01:23:18,059 --> 01:23:19,461
EXCITED TO KICKOFF MY FIRST 

2315
01:23:19,461 --> 01:23:22,931
EXPERIENCE WITH COMP PLAN. I 

2316
01:23:22,931 --> 01:23:24,199
WANTED TO DO A QUICK FOLLOW-UP 

2317
01:23:24,199 --> 01:23:24,966
ON ONE OF MY COLLEAGUE'S 

2318
01:23:24,966 --> 01:23:25,767
QUESTIONS REGARDING SPLIT ZONES.

2319
01:23:25,767 --> 01:23:27,836
IN THOSE INSTANCES WHERE YOU DID

2320
01:23:27,836 --> 01:23:30,638
THE CLEANUP ON AREAS THAT WERE 

2321
01:23:30,638 --> 01:23:31,940
SPLIT ZONE, DID WE SORT OF 

2322
01:23:31,940 --> 01:23:33,808
DEFAULT TO A HIGHER CAPACITY 

2323
01:23:33,808 --> 01:23:38,480
ZONE OR LOWER CAPACITY ZONE IN 

2324
01:23:38,480 --> 01:23:39,080
THOSE INSTANCES? AND CAN YOU 

2325
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:41,816
TALK ABOUT HOW OPCD IS TRACKING 

2326
01:23:41,816 --> 01:23:43,118
THE WAY THOSE CHANGES IMPACT OUR

2327
01:23:43,118 --> 01:23:44,285
OVERALL DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY AS 

2328
01:23:44,285 --> 01:23:46,321
WAS PREVIOUSLY STUDIED? 

2329
01:23:46,321 --> 01:23:46,955
>> YEAH. THE VAST MAJORITY OF 

2330
01:23:46,955 --> 01:23:48,623
CASES, WHEN THERE ARE TWO ZONES,

2331
01:23:48,623 --> 01:23:54,029
WE TOOK THE LOWER DENSITY ZONE 

2332
01:23:54,029 --> 01:23:54,629
AND INCREASED IT SO THEY ARE 

2333
01:23:54,629 --> 01:23:55,230
BOTH HIGHER DENSITY ZONE. BUT 

2334
01:23:55,230 --> 01:23:57,198
THERE WERE SOME PLACES IN WHICH 

2335
01:23:57,198 --> 01:24:02,137
WE DID NOT INCREASE IT ALL THE 

2336
01:24:02,137 --> 01:24:02,904
WAY UP. FOR EXAMPLE, REALLY 

2337
01:24:02,904 --> 01:24:04,272
LARGE SITES OR SITES WHERE THERE

2338
01:24:04,272 --> 01:24:05,039
WERE SOME CONDITIONS THAT 

2339
01:24:05,039 --> 01:24:05,974
SUGGESTED THAT MAYBE ONE SITE 

2340
01:24:05,974 --> 01:24:07,609
SHOULD NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP. SO

2341
01:24:07,609 --> 01:24:09,210
SOME PLACES WE LEFT IT SPLIT BUT

2342
01:24:09,210 --> 01:24:12,580
REDUCED THE DEGREE OF SPLIT . 

2343
01:24:12,580 --> 01:24:14,382
AND THERE WERE A REALLY SMALL 

2344
01:24:14,382 --> 01:24:18,820
NUMBER OF SITES, FOR EXAMPLE, 

2345
01:24:18,820 --> 01:24:19,654
THAT ACTUALLY THE SUBSTANTIAL 

2346
01:24:19,654 --> 01:24:20,955
MAJORITY OF THE PARCEL WAS THE 

2347
01:24:20,955 --> 01:24:22,223
LOWER DENSITY ZONE. THE SLIVER 

2348
01:24:22,223 --> 01:24:23,258
WAS THE HIGHER DENSITY ZONE 

2349
01:24:23,258 --> 01:24:24,492
WHERE IT DID ACTUALLY BRING THE 

2350
01:24:24,492 --> 01:24:26,795
HIGHER DENSITY ZONE DOWN . BUT 

2351
01:24:26,795 --> 01:24:28,696
THOSE WERE A VERY SMALL NUMBER 

2352
01:24:28,696 --> 01:24:34,169
OF CASES . AND SO I WOULD SAY 

2353
01:24:34,169 --> 01:24:35,570
OVERALL WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE 

2354
01:24:35,570 --> 01:24:36,604
CHANGE WE TALKED ABOUT, MOST OF 

2355
01:24:36,604 --> 01:24:38,339
THE CHANGES REDUCED THE CAPACITY

2356
01:24:38,339 --> 01:24:39,541
OF IT, BUT IN TERMS OF SPLIT 

2357
01:24:39,541 --> 01:24:41,876
ZONING WAS THE ONE THAT DID 

2358
01:24:41,876 --> 01:24:42,844
INCREASE THE CAPACITY. WE ARE 

2359
01:24:42,844 --> 01:24:44,712
TRYING TO WORK ON SOME STATS TO 

2360
01:24:44,712 --> 01:24:46,514
HELP WITH THAT. WE DON'T HAVE 

2361
01:24:46,514 --> 01:24:50,452
ANY TODAY . YEAH. BUT OVERALL, 

2362
01:24:50,452 --> 01:24:51,453
IT HELPED TO INCREASE CAPACITY 

2363
01:24:51,453 --> 01:24:52,720
WHEREAS THE OTHER CHANGES 

2364
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:54,422
REDUCED IT. 

2365
01:24:54,422 --> 01:24:55,957
>> YES, WE ARE WORKING ON THE 

2366
01:24:55,957 --> 01:25:00,728
CAPACITY ANALYSIS PIECE . I WILL

2367
01:25:00,728 --> 01:25:01,796
SPARE THE COUNCIL COMMITTEE THE 

2368
01:25:01,796 --> 01:25:02,797
DIRTY DETAILS, BUT IT IS 

2369
01:25:02,797 --> 01:25:03,731
ACTUALLY QUITE COMPLICATED GIVEN

2370
01:25:03,731 --> 01:25:05,266
ALL OF THE RANGE OF THE TYPES OF

2371
01:25:05,266 --> 01:25:06,334
CHANGES THAT WERE MADE BETWEEN 

2372
01:25:06,334 --> 01:25:07,769
THE DRAFT AND THE FINAL TO GET 

2373
01:25:07,769 --> 01:25:09,737
TO A SET OF NUMBERS. WE ARE 

2374
01:25:09,737 --> 01:25:13,074
QUITE CLOSE. I WILL SAY THAT THE

2375
01:25:13,074 --> 01:25:14,542
NUMBERS BEAR OUT THE GENERAL 

2376
01:25:14,542 --> 01:25:17,011
UNDERSTANDING OF THAT IMPACT OF 

2377
01:25:17,011 --> 01:25:18,012
THE CHANGES THAT IF YOU COMPARE 

2378
01:25:18,012 --> 01:25:21,182
WHAT DID THE DRAFT QUARTERS DO 

2379
01:25:21,182 --> 01:25:24,519
VERSUS WHAT DOES THIS FINAL 

2380
01:25:24,519 --> 01:25:27,021
VERSION TRANSMIT TO COUNCIL TO 

2381
01:25:27,021 --> 01:25:30,992
ADD CAPACITY . THE CHANGE IS 

2382
01:25:30,992 --> 01:25:31,759
QUITE SMALL. ROUGHLY BETWEEN 

2383
01:25:31,759 --> 01:25:33,661
FIVE AND 10% DECREASE IN OVERALL

2384
01:25:33,661 --> 01:25:34,796
CAPACITY. AND MUCH OF THE 

2385
01:25:34,796 --> 01:25:39,534
CAPACITY THAT WAS TAKEN AWAY 

2386
01:25:39,534 --> 01:25:46,441
WERE AS BRENNON WAS SHOWING YOU 

2387
01:25:46,441 --> 01:25:47,342
MANY SITES THAT WERE ACTUALLY 

2388
01:25:47,342 --> 01:25:48,476
VERY DIFFICULT TO DEVELOP 

2389
01:25:48,476 --> 01:25:49,777
ANYWAY. SO EVEN THAT IS AN 

2390
01:25:49,777 --> 01:25:51,613
OVERSTATEMENT OF THE LIKELY 

2391
01:25:51,613 --> 01:25:53,047
FUTURE POTENTIAL OF THOSE SITES.

2392
01:25:53,047 --> 01:26:03,558
SO THERE IS A MEANINGFUL BUT 

2393
01:26:03,925 --> 01:26:05,193
QUITE SMALL CHANGE. WE CAN GET 

2394
01:26:05,193 --> 01:26:05,894
THOSE NUMBERS TO COUNCIL QUITE 

2395
01:26:05,894 --> 01:26:06,094
SOON. 

2396
01:26:06,094 --> 01:26:07,462
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. I 

2397
01:26:07,462 --> 01:26:08,429
APPRECIATE YOU ALL DOING THE 

2398
01:26:08,429 --> 01:26:09,731
DIRTY DETAILS AND GIVING US THE 

2399
01:26:09,731 --> 01:26:10,598
UPDATE . LOOKING FORWARD TO 

2400
01:26:10,598 --> 01:26:12,233
THAT. I WANTED TO CALL BACK TO A

2401
01:26:12,233 --> 01:26:13,268
CONVERSATION. ANOTHER ONE WITH A

2402
01:26:13,268 --> 01:26:13,868
COUNCILMEMBER. I APPRECIATE 

2403
01:26:13,868 --> 01:26:14,669
COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE'S 

2404
01:26:14,669 --> 01:26:16,905
QUESTIONS AROUND NEIGHBORHOOD 

2405
01:26:16,905 --> 01:26:18,473
COMMERCIAL OR CORNER STORES. AM 

2406
01:26:18,473 --> 01:26:21,576
I CORRECT IN UNDERSTANDING THERE

2407
01:26:21,576 --> 01:26:22,911
ARE STILL SOME LOCATIONS IN LR 1

2408
01:26:22,911 --> 01:26:24,279
WHERE YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO 

2409
01:26:24,279 --> 01:26:25,880
DEVELOP CORNER STORES ? 

2410
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:28,383
>> AS PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD 

2411
01:26:28,383 --> 01:26:32,253
RESIDENTIAL UPDATE , THE 

2412
01:26:32,253 --> 01:26:33,188
STANDARDS PUT IN PLACE FOR 

2413
01:26:33,188 --> 01:26:33,821
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL WERE 

2414
01:26:33,821 --> 01:26:36,891
ALSO PUT IN PLACE FOR LOWRISE 

2415
01:26:36,891 --> 01:26:38,259
ZONES ACROSS THE BOARD. SO THEY 

2416
01:26:38,259 --> 01:26:39,260
ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME IN 

2417
01:26:39,260 --> 01:26:41,029
TERMS OF THE EXTENT TO WHICH 

2418
01:26:41,029 --> 01:26:42,964
COMMERCIALS ALLOWED. 

2419
01:26:42,964 --> 01:26:44,966
>> GOT IT. SO THEY ARE MIRRORING

2420
01:26:44,966 --> 01:26:46,834
EACH OTHER IN WHAT WE ARE 

2421
01:26:46,834 --> 01:26:48,036
PERMITTED TO DO IN NEIGHBORHOOD 

2422
01:26:48,036 --> 01:26:48,736
COMMERCIAL BETWEEN THOSE ZONES. 

2423
01:26:48,870 --> 01:26:52,207
>> WORTH NOTING THERE ARE ALWAYS

2424
01:26:52,207 --> 01:26:57,445
ALSO AN RC OVERLAY WHICH IS KIND

2425
01:26:57,445 --> 01:26:58,246
OF BEYOND THAT. PRETTY LIMITED 

2426
01:26:58,246 --> 01:27:00,381
AMOUNT OF SPACE. IF YOU ARE NOT 

2427
01:27:00,381 --> 01:27:02,317
IN THOSE -- GIVES YOU MORE. IF 

2428
01:27:02,317 --> 01:27:07,889
YOU'RE NOT, IT IS THE SAME 

2429
01:27:07,889 --> 01:27:08,690
BETWEEN NEIGHBORHOOD AND LOWRISE

2430
01:27:08,690 --> 01:27:08,923
ZONES. 

2431
01:27:08,923 --> 01:27:10,692
>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU, CHAIR. 

2432
01:27:10,692 --> 01:27:11,993
>> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER 

2433
01:27:11,993 --> 01:27:13,528
FOSTER. ANY OTHER COLLEAGUES 

2434
01:27:13,528 --> 01:27:19,000
WITH QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ? 

2435
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:23,605
OKAY. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS, 

2436
01:27:23,605 --> 01:27:26,374
COMMENTS MYSELF . JUST WANT TO 

2437
01:27:26,374 --> 01:27:36,618
GO BACK TO SLIDE EIGHT . JUST 

2438
01:27:36,618 --> 01:27:37,619
THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT TIMELINE. 

2439
01:27:37,619 --> 01:27:38,720
AND JUST WANT TO AGAIN JUST 

2440
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:40,688
THANK YOU FOR THE YEARS OF HARD 

2441
01:27:40,688 --> 01:27:46,394
WORK . AGAIN, TO THE COLLEAGUES,

2442
01:27:46,394 --> 01:27:47,662
THE PUBLIC FOR ENGAGING IN THIS 

2443
01:27:47,662 --> 01:27:49,631
REALLY EXTENSIVE PROCESS. AND, 

2444
01:27:49,631 --> 01:27:51,099
YOU KNOW, WE DID -- IT GOT 

2445
01:27:51,099 --> 01:27:53,635
DELAYED LONGER THAN WE HAD HOPED

2446
01:27:53,635 --> 01:27:55,403
, BUT I THINK IT ALSO JUST 

2447
01:27:55,403 --> 01:27:57,472
SPEAKS TO THE LEVEL OF WORK THAT

2448
01:27:57,472 --> 01:28:00,108
WAS INVOLVED . YOU KNOW, I HAVE 

2449
01:28:00,108 --> 01:28:02,844
NOT BEEN PART OF PRIOR MAJOR 

2450
01:28:02,844 --> 01:28:05,780
UPDATES , BUT I THINK IT IS SAFE

2451
01:28:05,780 --> 01:28:07,982
TO SAY THAT THIS MAJOR UPDATE 

2452
01:28:07,982 --> 01:28:09,350
WAS A SIGNIFICANT BODY OF WORK 

2453
01:28:09,350 --> 01:28:14,722
THAT REALLY TOUCHED ALL PARTS OF

2454
01:28:14,722 --> 01:28:15,857
THE CITY, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAD

2455
01:28:15,857 --> 01:28:17,158
THINGS LIKE HOUSE BILL 1110 THAT

2456
01:28:17,158 --> 01:28:19,193
WE HAVE NOT HAD TO DEAL WITH IN 

2457
01:28:19,193 --> 01:28:21,696
PRIOR MAJOR UPDATES. AND SO I 

2458
01:28:21,696 --> 01:28:28,436
JUST MENTIONED THAT AND THE 

2459
01:28:28,436 --> 01:28:30,405
SENSE OF -- IT IS A LOT OF WORK.

2460
01:28:30,405 --> 01:28:31,572
AND I ALSO JUST WANT TO 

2461
01:28:31,572 --> 01:28:32,507
RECOGNIZE THAT MANY MEMBERS OF 

2462
01:28:32,507 --> 01:28:33,741
THE PUBLIC STILL FEEL LIKE THEY 

2463
01:28:33,741 --> 01:28:34,942
WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE MORE 

2464
01:28:34,942 --> 01:28:35,977
ENGAGEMENT. AND I THINK THERE 

2465
01:28:35,977 --> 01:28:39,514
CAN BE MULTIPLE . I ALSO WANT TO

2466
01:28:39,514 --> 01:28:42,550
CALL UP SOME STATISTICS THAT AS 

2467
01:28:42,550 --> 01:28:44,185
WE LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF OUR 

2468
01:28:44,185 --> 01:28:47,255
CITY, LOOKING BACK AT PRIOR 

2469
01:28:47,255 --> 01:28:52,994
DEMOGRAPHIC DATA, WE LOOKED AND 

2470
01:28:52,994 --> 01:28:54,028
THESE MIGHT NOT BE EXACT 

2471
01:28:54,028 --> 01:28:55,663
NUMBERS. AS I THINK ABOUT THE 

2472
01:28:55,663 --> 01:28:57,398
DEMOGRAPHICS OF OUR CITY IN 

2473
01:28:57,398 --> 01:28:59,767
1960, WE WERE AROUND 560,000 . 

2474
01:28:59,767 --> 01:29:01,769
AND THEN I THINK WE ALL KNOW THE

2475
01:29:01,769 --> 01:29:04,305
BILLBOARD WHERE IT IS, TURN OUT 

2476
01:29:04,305 --> 01:29:05,540
THE LIGHTS FOR THE LAST PERSON. 

2477
01:29:05,540 --> 01:29:06,841
TURN OUT THE LIGHTS. THERE WAS 

2478
01:29:06,841 --> 01:29:09,944
ACTUALLY A DIP IN POPULATION. 

2479
01:29:09,944 --> 01:29:13,081
AND THEN IN 2000 WE WERE BACK TO

2480
01:29:13,081 --> 01:29:16,050
AROUND 560,000. SO FROM 1960 TO 

2481
01:29:16,050 --> 01:29:17,585
2000, WE HAD ABOUT THE SAME 

2482
01:29:17,585 --> 01:29:20,722
POPULATION . AND THEN FROM 2000 

2483
01:29:20,722 --> 01:29:22,990
WE WENT FROM AROUND 560 TWO NOW 

2484
01:29:22,990 --> 01:29:25,460
WE ARE OVER 800,000. AND SO I 

2485
01:29:25,460 --> 01:29:27,228
JUST THINK AGAIN TO RECOGNIZE 

2486
01:29:27,228 --> 01:29:33,301
THAT FACT OF THE INTENSE GROWTH 

2487
01:29:33,301 --> 01:29:34,602
AND THE REAL IMPACTS THAT GO 

2488
01:29:34,602 --> 01:29:35,737
ALONG WITH THAT. WHETHER IT IS 

2489
01:29:35,737 --> 01:29:36,504
IMPACTS AROUND HOUSING COSTS, 

2490
01:29:36,504 --> 01:29:37,538
HOMELESSNESS, IMPACTS TO 

2491
01:29:37,538 --> 01:29:41,342
NEIGHBORHOODS , AND WHY THERE IS

2492
01:29:41,342 --> 01:29:43,211
-- I THINK WE HAVE STRUGGLED IN 

2493
01:29:43,211 --> 01:29:49,917
MANY WAYS TO DEAL WITH -- TO 

2494
01:29:49,917 --> 01:29:50,918
ACCOMMODATE ALL THAT GROWTH. AND

2495
01:29:50,918 --> 01:29:52,120
I THINK WE HAVE DONE AN 

2496
01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:53,121
INCREDIBLE JOB. AGAIN, I JUST 

2497
01:29:53,121 --> 01:29:54,489
WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL 

2498
01:29:54,489 --> 01:29:55,857
THE HARD WORK THAT YOU HAVE DONE

2499
01:29:55,857 --> 01:29:57,492
TO HELP US AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO

2500
01:29:57,492 --> 01:29:59,427
HOPEFULLY TRYING TO CATCH UP IN 

2501
01:29:59,427 --> 01:30:01,395
TERMS OF GETTING HOUSING 

2502
01:30:01,395 --> 01:30:05,566
PRODUCED . ANOTHER THING I JUST 

2503
01:30:05,566 --> 01:30:07,769
WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS JUST 

2504
01:30:07,769 --> 01:30:11,639
BECAUSE WE INCREASE THE ZONING 

2505
01:30:11,639 --> 01:30:12,774
DOES NOT MEAN HOUSING GETS BUILT

2506
01:30:12,774 --> 01:30:16,144
OVERNIGHT. WE HAVE SEEN HUGE -- 

2507
01:30:16,144 --> 01:30:18,346
WE HAVE MADE INCREDIBLE PROGRESS

2508
01:30:18,346 --> 01:30:25,153
HERE IN MAJOR UP ZONES IN MAJOR 

2509
01:30:25,153 --> 01:30:26,154
CAPACITY. AND AT THE SAME TIME, 

2510
01:30:26,154 --> 01:30:27,221
WE SEE HOUSING PERMITS ARE 

2511
01:30:27,221 --> 01:30:28,422
ACTUALLY WAY DOWN. AND THERE IS 

2512
01:30:28,422 --> 01:30:34,462
A NUMBER OF FACTORS . SOME ARE 

2513
01:30:34,462 --> 01:30:35,663
INSIDE OUR CONTROL AND SOME ARE 

2514
01:30:35,663 --> 01:30:36,631
OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL. THINGS 

2515
01:30:36,631 --> 01:30:38,132
LIKE INTEREST RATES. THINGS LIKE

2516
01:30:38,132 --> 01:30:41,435
THE EMPLOYMENT , WHICH WE HAVE 

2517
01:30:41,435 --> 01:30:42,804
SOME ROLL IN, BUT IT IS NOT 

2518
01:30:42,804 --> 01:30:43,638
ENTIRELY WITHIN OUR CONTROL. 

2519
01:30:43,638 --> 01:30:45,406
THINGS LIKE TARIFFS AND LABOR 

2520
01:30:45,406 --> 01:30:48,810
COSTS. SO I JUST WANT TO ALSO 

2521
01:30:48,810 --> 01:30:49,977
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT JUST BECAUSE AN

2522
01:30:49,977 --> 01:30:53,614
AREA IS UP ZONED DOES NOT MEAN 

2523
01:30:53,614 --> 01:30:55,116
THERE'S GOING TO BE IMMEDIATE 

2524
01:30:55,116 --> 01:30:58,753
REDEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT. ONE 

2525
01:30:58,753 --> 01:31:00,054
OTHER SLIDE I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE

2526
01:31:00,054 --> 01:31:03,391
A LOOK AT IS THE LR ZONE. I 

2527
01:31:03,391 --> 01:31:08,396
THINK IT WAS SLIDE 22. AND WE 

2528
01:31:08,396 --> 01:31:09,764
HAD SPOKEN ABOUT IT, BUT JUST 

2529
01:31:09,764 --> 01:31:11,432
WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT AGAIN. ONE 

2530
01:31:11,432 --> 01:31:13,501
OTHER THING . WE HAVE HEARD FROM

2531
01:31:13,501 --> 01:31:16,404
DEVELOPERS . FOLKS WHO HAVE 

2532
01:31:16,404 --> 01:31:20,041
CONCERNS ABOUT MHA IN THE LR 

2533
01:31:20,041 --> 01:31:21,976
ZONES. I JUST WANT TO KIND OF 

2534
01:31:21,976 --> 01:31:24,111
HIGHLIGHT THIS SLIDE SORT OF 

2535
01:31:24,111 --> 01:31:28,816
CALLS TO ATTENTION THAT CONCERN,

2536
01:31:28,816 --> 01:31:30,685
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO LR1 

2537
01:31:30,685 --> 01:31:33,821
AND LR2. WHEN WE BASICALLY DO AN

2538
01:31:33,821 --> 01:31:34,889
UP ZONED OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD 

2539
01:31:34,889 --> 01:31:36,257
RESIDENTIAL AS RICK WIRED BY 

2540
01:31:36,257 --> 01:31:37,725
HOUSE BILL 1110, WE DID NOT 

2541
01:31:37,725 --> 01:31:45,066
ADOPT MHA IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD 

2542
01:31:45,066 --> 01:31:46,200
RESIDENTIAL. WE DO HAVE MHA 

2543
01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:47,001
CURRENTLY IN THE LR ZONES, 

2544
01:31:47,001 --> 01:31:48,336
INCLUDING LR1 AND LR2. BUT AS 

2545
01:31:48,336 --> 01:31:49,570
THIS SLIDE POINTS OUT, AT LEAST 

2546
01:31:49,570 --> 01:31:50,671
CURRENTLY LR1 POTENTIALLY HAS 

2547
01:31:50,671 --> 01:31:57,078
LESS -- YOU CAN BUILD LESS IN 

2548
01:31:57,078 --> 01:31:58,179
LR1 THAN NEIGHBORHOOD 

2549
01:31:58,179 --> 01:32:08,723
RESIDENTIAL . THERE WOULD BE A 

2550
01:32:10,124 --> 01:32:11,225
SIMILARITY BUT NOT A HUGE AMOUNT

2551
01:32:11,225 --> 01:32:12,360
OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LR1 AND 

2552
01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:13,027
LR2 ADD NEIGHBORHOOD 

2553
01:32:13,027 --> 01:32:13,995
RESIDENTIAL. BUT WE DO HAVE THE 

2554
01:32:13,995 --> 01:32:15,229
MHA DIFFERENCE. SO IT CALLS INTO

2555
01:32:15,229 --> 01:32:16,230
ATTENTION THAT OBVIOUSLY I THINK

2556
01:32:16,230 --> 01:32:17,865
THERE WILL BE A BODY OF WORK 

2557
01:32:17,865 --> 01:32:19,033
THAT WE NEED TO LOOK INTO. 

2558
01:32:19,033 --> 01:32:20,301
FINALLY, JUST ON THE POINT OF 

2559
01:32:20,301 --> 01:32:21,302
ENGAGEMENT, COULD YOU JUST SPEAK

2560
01:32:21,302 --> 01:32:23,971
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR 

2561
01:32:23,971 --> 01:32:28,509
WILLINGNESS TO IF COUNCILMEMBERS

2562
01:32:28,509 --> 01:32:29,644
WANT YOU TO SHOW UP AT 

2563
01:32:29,644 --> 01:32:30,778
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS TO ADDRESS

2564
01:32:30,778 --> 01:32:32,914
SORT OF QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS IN

2565
01:32:32,914 --> 01:32:39,086
THE COMING MONTHS OR TWO . COULD

2566
01:32:39,086 --> 01:32:39,654
YOU SPEAK TO THAT? 

2567
01:32:39,654 --> 01:32:41,522
>> YES, I CERTAINLY CAN. AND 

2568
01:32:41,522 --> 01:32:44,392
YES, INDEED. WE ARE -- SUPPORT 

2569
01:32:44,392 --> 01:32:47,828
YOU. STATING THE OBVIOUS THAT 

2570
01:32:47,828 --> 01:32:48,696
LEGISLATION HAS BEEN TRANSMITTED

2571
01:32:48,696 --> 01:32:51,732
TO COUNCIL INFORMALLY . 

2572
01:32:51,732 --> 01:32:53,801
ENGAGEMENT WITH YOUR 

2573
01:32:53,801 --> 01:32:56,237
CONSTITUENTS ACROSS THE CITY AND

2574
01:32:56,237 --> 01:32:57,538
EACH OF YOUR DISTRICTS 

2575
01:32:57,538 --> 01:33:02,810
INDIVIDUALLY IS WHERE THE ACTION

2576
01:33:02,810 --> 01:33:04,178
IS RIGHT NOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING

2577
01:33:04,178 --> 01:33:05,446
TO WANT TO HAVE MEANINGFUL AND 

2578
01:33:05,446 --> 01:33:06,080
INFORMATIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH 

2579
01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:07,481
FOLKS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY. WE 

2580
01:33:07,481 --> 01:33:08,416
ARE AVAILABLE, HOWEVER, AS WE 

2581
01:33:08,416 --> 01:33:14,188
DID LAST YEAR IN 2025 AFTER 

2582
01:33:14,188 --> 01:33:15,256
TRANSMITTING THE COMP PLAN AND 

2583
01:33:15,256 --> 01:33:16,190
PHASE ONE LEGISLATION. WE ARE 

2584
01:33:16,190 --> 01:33:17,591
AVAILABLE AND ACKNOWLEDGING VERY

2585
01:33:17,591 --> 01:33:20,528
MUCH THAT THIS IS COMPLEX 

2586
01:33:20,528 --> 01:33:21,729
LEGISLATION. THERE ARE A LOT OF 

2587
01:33:21,729 --> 01:33:23,597
DETAILS HERE. AND WE ARE A 

2588
01:33:23,597 --> 01:33:26,667
RESOURCE FOR YOU TO HELP ANSWER 

2589
01:33:26,667 --> 01:33:33,708
CONSTITUENT QUESTIONS, TO MAKE 

2590
01:33:33,708 --> 01:33:34,775
-- TO PRESENT THE LEGISLATION, 

2591
01:33:34,775 --> 01:33:36,210
TO PAINT A PICTURE FOR FOLKS AS 

2592
01:33:36,210 --> 01:33:37,945
TO WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT MEANS,

2593
01:33:37,945 --> 01:33:39,613
AND TO JUST BE OUT THERE TALKING

2594
01:33:39,613 --> 01:33:40,614
TO PEOPLE. SO PLEASE REACH OUT 

2595
01:33:40,614 --> 01:33:45,152
TO OUR OFFICE . SARAH GRAVES, 

2596
01:33:45,152 --> 01:33:45,886
OUR COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER, IS 

2597
01:33:45,886 --> 01:33:53,160
TAKING IN REQUESTS . WE HAVE 

2598
01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:53,728
ALREADY STARTED SCHEDULING. 

2599
01:33:53,728 --> 01:33:54,695
THOSE COUPLE OF YOU THAT HAVE 

2600
01:33:54,695 --> 01:33:56,163
STARTED REACHING OUT TO US. WE 

2601
01:33:56,163 --> 01:33:57,331
ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO SO. 

2602
01:33:57,331 --> 01:33:58,699
ANOTHER THING THAT WE -- PLEASE 

2603
01:33:58,699 --> 01:34:01,268
LET US KNOW IF THERE ARE IDEAS 

2604
01:34:01,268 --> 01:34:02,203
FOR MATERIALS THAT COULD BE 

2605
01:34:02,203 --> 01:34:03,471
HELPFUL. ONE OF THE IDEAS THAT 

2606
01:34:03,471 --> 01:34:05,072
WE HEARD EARLY HERE WAS TO 

2607
01:34:05,072 --> 01:34:09,377
UPDATE NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT 

2608
01:34:09,377 --> 01:34:11,045
THAT WE HAVE THE ONLINE 

2609
01:34:11,045 --> 01:34:16,350
INTERACTIVE MAP . THAT IS NOT 

2610
01:34:16,350 --> 01:34:17,618
ALWAYS A TOOL THAT WORKS FOR 

2611
01:34:17,618 --> 01:34:18,986
EVERYBODY. IT MAY NOT WORK IN A 

2612
01:34:18,986 --> 01:34:20,554
PUBLIC MEETING. WE HAVE MADE 

2613
01:34:20,554 --> 01:34:22,390
AVAILABLE PDF ZOOM IN MAPS FOR 

2614
01:34:22,390 --> 01:34:23,057
DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS 

2615
01:34:23,057 --> 01:34:24,058
OR AREAS OF MORE INTENSIVE 

2616
01:34:24,058 --> 01:34:26,727
CHANGE UNDER THIS ZONING 

2617
01:34:26,727 --> 01:34:27,595
LEGISLATION. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL

2618
01:34:27,595 --> 01:34:28,963
BE HELPFUL. IT WAS HELPFUL TO US

2619
01:34:28,963 --> 01:34:30,598
IN THE FALL OF 2024. IF YOU HAVE

2620
01:34:30,598 --> 01:34:33,067
ANY OTHER IDEAS -- TABLE FIGURE 

2621
01:34:33,067 --> 01:34:39,774
THAT COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE WAS 

2622
01:34:39,774 --> 01:34:40,875
DESCRIBING. THAT WOULD ALSO -- 

2623
01:34:40,875 --> 01:34:42,109
SOMETHING WE COULD PUT ON A 

2624
01:34:42,109 --> 01:34:43,110
POSTER AND MAKE AVAILABLE TO 

2625
01:34:43,110 --> 01:34:44,712
YOU. SO LET US KNOW WHAT WOULD 

2626
01:34:44,712 --> 01:34:45,713
BE HELPFUL WITHIN OUR CAPACITY. 

2627
01:34:45,713 --> 01:34:47,381
WE CERTAINLY CAN DO MEANINGFUL 

2628
01:34:47,381 --> 01:34:49,417
THINGS. 

2629
01:34:49,417 --> 01:34:50,885
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT.

2630
01:34:50,885 --> 01:34:55,322
AND ON THAT POINT, I THINK WE 

2631
01:34:55,322 --> 01:34:57,591
CAN HUDDLE ABOUT THIS OFF-LINE ,

2632
01:34:57,591 --> 01:34:59,627
BUT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME 

2633
01:34:59,627 --> 01:35:01,729
GRAPHICS WITH THINGS LIKE WE 

2634
01:35:01,729 --> 01:35:03,664
HEARD SOME PUBLIC COMMENTS ABOUT

2635
01:35:03,664 --> 01:35:06,267
HOW TO INCREASE DENSITY THAT 

2636
01:35:06,267 --> 01:35:07,935
WOULD ALSO ALLOW THINGS LIKE 

2637
01:35:07,935 --> 01:35:11,138
COURTYARDS AND ALLOW TREES . I 

2638
01:35:11,138 --> 01:35:12,339
WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME GRAPHICS 

2639
01:35:12,339 --> 01:35:13,908
THAT WOULD SOMEHOW GIVE US AN 

2640
01:35:13,908 --> 01:35:15,476
IDEA OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK 

2641
01:35:15,476 --> 01:35:19,346
LIKE . WHETHER IT IS IN OUR 

2642
01:35:19,346 --> 01:35:20,981
EXISTING ZONING OR WHETHER WE 

2643
01:35:20,981 --> 01:35:23,050
MIGHT HAVE SOME COUNCIL 

2644
01:35:23,050 --> 01:35:24,752
AMENDMENTS THAT MIGHT HELP 

2645
01:35:24,752 --> 01:35:30,991
ELUCIDATE THAT. WE ALSO AS WE 

2646
01:35:30,991 --> 01:35:32,760
LOOK AT GRAPHICS NEED TO TAKE 

2647
01:35:32,760 --> 01:35:37,898
INTO ACCOUNT ACCESSIBILITY 

2648
01:35:37,898 --> 01:35:39,133
CONCERNS. AND SO JUST FOR MY 

2649
01:35:39,133 --> 01:35:40,134
COLLEAGUES, JUST WANT TO POINT 

2650
01:35:40,134 --> 01:35:41,569
THAT OUT THAT WE NEED TO MAKE 

2651
01:35:41,569 --> 01:35:42,770
SURE ALL OF THESE GRAPHICS THAT 

2652
01:35:42,770 --> 01:35:43,871
WE INCLUDE NEED TO BE 

2653
01:35:43,871 --> 01:35:45,005
ACCESSIBLE. AND SO THAT MAKES IT

2654
01:35:45,005 --> 01:35:47,875
SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO DO. THAT 

2655
01:35:47,875 --> 01:35:51,612
IS ALL I HAVE FOR TODAY. ANY 

2656
01:35:51,612 --> 01:35:54,148
OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ? 

2657
01:35:54,148 --> 01:35:58,686
OKAY. YES, PLEASE. 

2658
01:35:58,686 --> 01:36:01,555
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR. I JUST WANT

2659
01:36:01,555 --> 01:36:03,190
TO ECHO WHAT YOU JUST SAID ABOUT

2660
01:36:03,190 --> 01:36:06,861
GRAPHICS RELATED . WE ARE 

2661
01:36:06,861 --> 01:36:09,764
TALKING ABOUT UP ZONING HERE. WE

2662
01:36:09,764 --> 01:36:10,765
ARE NOT REALLY HAVING THE 

2663
01:36:10,765 --> 01:36:14,468
CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW URBAN 

2664
01:36:14,468 --> 01:36:15,770
FORESTRY FITS INTO THIS. I KNOW 

2665
01:36:15,770 --> 01:36:16,770
THERE IS AN URBAN FORESTRY 

2666
01:36:16,770 --> 01:36:18,139
COMPONENT TO THE COMP PLAN. AND 

2667
01:36:18,139 --> 01:36:20,341
IT JUST FEELS A LITTLE BIT 

2668
01:36:20,341 --> 01:36:21,709
DISJOINTED TO HAVE THESE 

2669
01:36:21,709 --> 01:36:23,577
CONVERSATIONS . IT IS SILOED . 

2670
01:36:23,577 --> 01:36:25,079
AND I THINK IT WOULD REALLY HELP

2671
01:36:25,079 --> 01:36:27,515
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AS CHAIR 

2672
01:36:27,515 --> 01:36:32,019
SAID CAME TO CHAMBERS TODAY. 

2673
01:36:32,019 --> 01:36:33,154
FOLKS OR CONSTITUENTS THAT WE 

2674
01:36:33,154 --> 01:36:35,789
HEAR FROM. WHAT ARE THE PLANS 

2675
01:36:35,789 --> 01:36:39,426
FOR URBAN FOREST AND GREEN 

2676
01:36:39,426 --> 01:36:42,763
SPACES WITHIN ALL OF THIS UP 

2677
01:36:42,763 --> 01:36:45,032
ZONING THAT WE ARE DOING ? AND 

2678
01:36:45,032 --> 01:36:49,937
THEN ALSO INFORMATION ABOUT 

2679
01:36:49,937 --> 01:36:50,971
DECISIONS. THERE IS NO 

2680
01:36:50,971 --> 01:36:52,339
INFORMATION IN THE MATERIALS 

2681
01:36:52,339 --> 01:36:54,375
ABOUT HOW YOU MADE DECISIONS TO 

2682
01:36:54,375 --> 01:36:55,543
DO FIVE STORIES NEXT TO 

2683
01:36:55,543 --> 01:36:57,278
SINGLE-STORY SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES

2684
01:36:57,278 --> 01:37:06,153
ALONG THOSE CORRIDORS. SO THAT 

2685
01:37:06,153 --> 01:37:07,488
IS TO SAY ALONG THE CORRIDORS 

2686
01:37:07,488 --> 01:37:08,589
YOU CAN BUILD UP TO FIVE 

2687
01:37:08,589 --> 01:37:09,723
STORIES, BUT BEHIND IT IS GOING 

2688
01:37:09,723 --> 01:37:11,492
TO BE A SINGLE FAMILY. THERE IS 

2689
01:37:11,492 --> 01:37:12,426
NO TRANSITION. SO THAT HAS AN 

2690
01:37:12,426 --> 01:37:13,727
IMPACT. I THINK WE HEARD FROM 

2691
01:37:13,727 --> 01:37:14,662
PUBLIC COMMENTERS ABOUT THAT AS 

2692
01:37:14,662 --> 01:37:15,863
WELL. SO HOW ARE YOU MAKING 

2693
01:37:15,863 --> 01:37:19,600
THESE DECISIONS? AND HOW DO WE 

2694
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:20,835
HELP ENSURE APPROPRIATE 

2695
01:37:20,835 --> 01:37:25,506
TRANSITION WOULD BE HELPFUL . 

2696
01:37:25,506 --> 01:37:29,009
AND IF YOU ARE ALREADY -- THAT 

2697
01:37:29,009 --> 01:37:31,045
IS PART OF THIS I HAVE NOT SEEN 

2698
01:37:31,045 --> 01:37:36,684
IT. SO THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF 

2699
01:37:36,684 --> 01:37:37,952
THINGS. I DID NOT ASK MORE 

2700
01:37:37,952 --> 01:37:38,986
QUESTIONS BECAUSE I'M GOING TO 

2701
01:37:38,986 --> 01:37:40,120
ASK FOR A FORMAL BRIEFING ABOUT 

2702
01:37:40,120 --> 01:37:41,355
ALL THIS BECAUSE I HAVE ALL 

2703
01:37:41,355 --> 01:37:42,756
THESE QUESTIONS. I DID WANT TO 

2704
01:37:42,756 --> 01:37:43,791
ECHO WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE 

2705
01:37:43,791 --> 01:37:47,995

2706
01:37:47,995 --> 01:37:48,696

2711
01:37:53,367 --> 01:37:55,102

2712

01:37:59,473 --> 01:38:00,140
