THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY OF OUR FUTURE PUBLIC HEARINGS TO PROVIDE COMMENT ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE PERMANENT LEGISLATION OF HOUSE BILL 1110. THIS COMING PUBLIC HEARING IS NOT DEDICATED TO THOSE PIECES OF LEGISLATION, SO JUST A REMINDER THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT IS MONDAY, MAY 19th, IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE INTERIM LEGISLATION OF HOUSE BILL 1110 AND THE AMENDMENTS WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD ME MY COLLEAGUE.

PRESENTING TODAY ARE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL CENTRAL STAFF. >> AWESOME. WE HAVE A PHENOMENAL CENTRAL STAFF THAT HAVE DEDICATED LONG DAYS TO THIS AND DEEP NIGHTS, SO WE WANT TO THANK THEM. THE AMENDMENTS -- THERE ARE A NUMBER OF AMENDMENTS BEFORE US FOR DISCUSSION TODAY. WE WILL HAVE CENTRAL STAFF START OFF BY A BRIEF -- A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF EACH AMENDMENT, AND THEN AT THE END OF THEIR OVERVIEW -- WELL, SORRY. LET ME REMIND. I'M READING THIS WRONG. AFTER CENTRAL STAFF ARE -- THEY'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT EACH PERSON'S AMENDMENT, BUT AFTER THEY TALK ABOUT ONE SPONSOR'S AMENDMENT, THEN WE'LL GO TO THAT SPONSOR FOR YOU ALL TO ARTICULATE WHAT THAT AMENDMENT MEANS FOR THE DISCUSSIONS OF THE GROUP. SO WE WON'T HEAR ALL THE AMENDMENTS AT ONE TIME. WE'RE GOING TO HEAR AMENDMENT BY AMENDMENT AND THEN ALLOW THAT SPONSOR ON THE DAIS TO BE ABLE TO ARTICULATE THAT. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A PLAN? THANK YOU. SO FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF, AND YOU MAY BEGIN YOUR PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. >> CHRIS SWENSON, COUNCIL CENTRAL STAFF. >> KETOAL FRAYMAN. >> WE HAVE SEVEN AMENDMENTS TODAY TO TALK ABOUT, AND I'LL SHARE THEM AS WE WALK THROUGH THEM. THE FIRST ONE IS AN AMENDMENT SPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBER SOLOMON. IT WOULD -- AS YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER YESTERDAY YOU PASSED LEGISLATION RELATED TO ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS. IT ALSO IS IMPLEMENTING -- IT IMPLEMENTED A STATE MANDATE THAT NEEDS TO BE IN EFFECT BY JUNE 30th. COUNCIL BILL 120949 AMEANT SECTIONS TO THE LAND USE CODE THAT ARE ALSO AMENDED BY THE INTERIM LEGISLATION THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY. THIS AMENDMENT IS FAIRLY SIMPLE. IT TAKES THE CHANGES THAT WERE ADOPTED UNDER THE BILL YOU PASSED YESTERDAY AND UPDATES THE LEGISLATION IN FRONT OF YOU NOW WITH THOSE CHANGES. AND UPDATES SOME OF THE LEGISLATIVE PLANNINGS IN THE BILL BASED ON WHAT'S HAPPENED BETWEEN WHEN THE LEGISLATION WAS SENT TO COUNCIL AND TODAY. FOR EXAMPLE, THE -- APPEAL WAS RESOLVED. >> OH, MY APOLOGIES. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER SOLOMON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED TO DISCUSS YOUR AMENDMENT. >> THANK YOU. EXCUSE ME, THANK YOU CHAIR HOLLINGSWORTH. I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING WHAT'S BEEN PRESENTED BY CENTRAL STAFF. IT REALLY IS A MATTER OF MAKING SURE THE ADU LEGISLATION AND THE OVERALL LEGISLATION OF 1110 ACTUALLY COME INTO COMPLIANCE WITH EACH OTHER. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER SOLOMON. I'LL NOW OPEN IT UP TO POTENTIAL QUESTIONS THAT SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES MIGHT HAVE REGARDING THIS, AND WE CAN ALSO DIGEST THIS AND WAIT UNTIL THE END AS WELL. I JUST WANT TO GIVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOLK. COUNCIL MEMBER STRAUSS. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. HAPPY TO WAIT UNTIL THE END AS WELL, BUT I CAN JUST GO. CLARIFYING WHAT I ALREADY HEARD YOU SAY WHICH IS THAT THIS CHANGE BRINGS THIS WILL INTO ALIGNMENT WITH THE STATE CODE BILL THAT WE PASSED YESTERDAY. IS THAT CORRECT? >> CORRECT. >> NOTHING FURTHER, NOTHING LESS? >> NO. >> SO IN SOME WAYS WHEN I ASKED IF I COULD MAKE AMENDMENTS TO THAT BILL, I WAS TOLD NO THANK YOU BECAUSE IT'S STATE REQUIREMENT. THE SAME WOULD BE TRUE HERE? THIS IS JUST SIMPLY BRINGING US IN LINE WITH THE STATE? IS THAT ESSENTIALLY CORRECT? >> CORRECT. >> NICE WORK. COUNCIL MEMBER SOLOMON. >> AWESOME. THANK YOU COUNCIL MEMBER STRAUSS. I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER HANDS, BUT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T ASK A QUESTION AT THE END. SO LET'S ROLL ONTO ITEM NUMBER 2. >> ALL RIGHT. COUNCIL BILL 120969 IS INTERIM LEGISLATION THAT INCLUDES A WORK PROGRAM THAT IDENTIFIES HOW THE COUNCIL WILL ADOPT PERMANENT LEGISLATION. THIS AMENDMENT DOES TWO THINGS. IT UPDATES THE LANGUAGE AROUND THE WORK PROGRAM. THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WILL BE WORKING THROUGH SEPTEMBER TO ADOPT THAT LEGISLATION WITH ANTICIPATED EFFECTIVE DATE IN OCTOBER, AND THEN THEN ALSO IDENTIFIES A LIST OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THE COUNCIL IS -- THE COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO CONSIDER IN REVIEWING THE PERMANENT LEGISLATION. AND I'LL WALK THROUGH THOSE REALLY BRIEFLY SUPPORTING MEASURES TO REDUCE DISPLACEMENT PRESSURE, CONSIDERING WHETHER RESIDENTIAL DENSITIES WOULD BE BASED ON THE NUMBER OF UNITS ON A LOT OR THE SQUARE FOOTAGE PER UNIT. THAT'S ONE OF THE KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE INTERIM LEGISLATION YOU'RE LOOKING AT NOW AND THE PERMANENT LEGISLATION THE EXECUTIVE IS GOING TO PROPOSE. CONSIDERING WHETHER ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS SHOULD BE COUNTED TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT ON A LOT, PROVIDING FOR CONSISTENT AND PERMANENT THRESHOLDS FOR STREET, ALLEY AND PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS. CLARIFYING DESIGNATED DISTURBANCE AREAS AND STEEP SLOPES, LOTS WITH POTENTIAL LANDSLIDE HAZARDS. ADJUSTING SETBACKS IN NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONES TO MAXIMIZE TREE PROTECTION. AND HERE WE HAVE AN UPDATED VERSION OF THIS AMENDMENT. THE CHAIR WHO IS SPONSORING THIS AMENDMENT OVERALL HAS MADE A FEW CHANGES, SO THE AMENDMENT THAT WILL BE PLACED IN FRONT OF YOU WOULD SAY SUPPORT FLEXIBILITY AND DESIGN TO ADDRESS NEIGHBORHOOD NEEDS AND TRANSIT SAFETY RATHER THAN THE PREVIOUS LANGUAGE THAT WAS POSTED TO AGENDA. ITEM 7 INCLUDES CONSIDERING ADJUSTMENTS TO AMENITY AREA REGULATIONS RELATED TO TREES AND FINALLY CONSIDERING WHETHER TO EXTEND MANDATORY HOUSING AFFORDABILITY TO NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONES. I EXPECTED THIS LIST MAY GET FURTHER AMENDED BEFORE IT'S IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, BUT THIS IS A PRELIMINARY LIST, AGAIN, SUBJECT TO CHANGE. >> AND I WILL CALL ON MYSELF TO TALK ABOUT MY AMENDMENT -- SORRY. THANK YOU. OKAY SO COLLEAGUES THIS AMENDMENT ADDS A WORK PLAN TO IN TERM HOUSE BILL LEGISLATION THAT INDICATES WE AS A SELECT COMMITTEE WILL HAVE A DIALOGUE CONVERSATION OVER. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THESE ARE GOING TO BE AMENDMENTS BROUGHT FORTH. IT'S MORE SO MORE OF A DIALOGUE WE CAN EXPLORE. WHEN WE FIRST STARTED CONSIDERING INTERIM HOUSE BILL LEGISLATION WE WERE STILL WAITING ON CHALLENGES FOR EIS IT BY RESOLVED. WE LITERALLY HAD NO IDEA HOW LONG THIS TEMPORARY LEGISLATION MIGHT BE EFFECT. SO I UNDERSTAND MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES DEVELOPED AMENDMENTS TO THE INTERIM CONSIDERING THIS COULD BE ON THE BOOKS FOR A LONG TIME NOT KNOWING THE EIS SITUATION. HOWEVER, ALL THE CHANGES TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT WERE RESOLVED QUICKLY MAKING THIS PROCESS OF HEAVILY AMENDING THE INTERIM LEGISLATION A LITTLE BIT REDUNDANT. SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES MADE, CENTRAL STAFF, LEGISLATIVE AIDES OVER THE PAST MONTH GOES TO WASTE. I WORKED WITH MANY OF YOU ALREADY TO IDENTIFY SEVERAL AREAS OF FOCUS AND REDEFINE SEVERAL AREAS OF THE AMENDMENTS. SO I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL. IT'S STILL OPEN FOR DISCUSSION IF WE NEED TO TWEAK SOME STUFF. AT THIS TIME I WELCOME DISCUSSIONS TO MY AMENDMENTS, BUT I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT -- I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT ONE IMPORTANT ONE OBVIOUSLY WAS THE ANTI- DISPLACEMENT MEASURE. I KNOW A LOT OF US -- A LOT OF YOU ALL HAVE GOTTEN FEEDBACK FROM COMMUNITIES, AND THAT WAS ONE THING I HAD HEARD SIGNIFICANTLY FROM FOLKS PARTICULARLY IN THE CENTRAL DISTRICT REGARDING SOME OF THE ANTI- DISPLACEMENT MEASURES THAT THE CITY WAS IMPLEMENTING, NOT A DOCUMENT, NOT WORDS, BUT AN ACTUAL PLAN. WE HAD INNOVATIVE PERFORMANCE, IP, COME TO THE COUNCIL TO GIVE US A BRIEF OVERVIEW TO SET THE TABLE FOR ALL THE PROGRAMS THE CITY HAD TO OFFER, WHICH WAS A GREAT FIRST STEP SO WE COULD UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENCES OF THE PROGRAMS, WHO WAS BEING TARGETED, AND WHAT THAT LOOKED LIKE SO WE CAN KIND OF FIGURE OUT A PLAN TO THOSE. THE NEXT THING I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT IS NUMBER 6. SO I KNOW THAT -- WALKED US THROUGH SOME OF THE AMENDMENTS TO SOME OF THE LANGUAGES THAT WE ADDRESSED. JUST MY INITIAL -- JUST INITIAL STATING THAT MY SUPPORT FOR -- I WANT TO MAKE CLEAR WHEN I STATED MY SUPPORT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER MY INTENTION WAS ABOUT THE FLEXIBILITY AND DESIGN. IT WAS NOT A TERM TO USE NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER REGARDING RACIST POLICIES OR HISTORICAL RED LINING. SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT OUT THERE. AS A BLACK WOMAN, I KNOW WHAT RACIAL -- YOU KNOW, WHAT RACIST LANGUAGE IS, SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE KNEW THAT MY INTENT THERE PARTICULARLY, SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE FLEXIBILITY AND DESIGN TO ADDRESS NEIGHBORHOOD NEEDS AND TRANSIT SAFETY. SO JUST WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT THERE BECAUSE I HAVE IT ELEVATED TO US AS WELL. OTHER THAN THAT, WOULD LOVE TO TAKE QUESTIONS. AND PLEASE KNOW THIS IS A WIP, WORK IN PROGRESS. AND I KNOW WE HAVE SOME OTHER PEOPLE THAT WANTED TO BRING SOME STUFF TO THIS. COUNCIL MEMBER STRAUSS. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. COLLEAGUES, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT NOTICE, I DON'T HAVE ANY AMENDMENTS. I MADE THE CHOICE -- I HAVE SOME AMENDMENT IDEAS THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH CENTRAL STAFF ON. MADE THE CHOICE NOT TO BRING THEM FORWARD TO THE INTERIM LEGISLATION BECAUSE AS YOU SAID, CHAIR, THE REPEAL WAS RESOLVED RATHER QUICKER THAN I THINK WE ANTICIPATED, AND I'M GOING TO SAVE STAFF TIME TO WORK ON THE PERMANENT LEGISLATION RATHER THAN ASK THEM TO SPIN UP RIGHT NOW. SO REALLY APPRECIATE THIS WORK PROGRAM. I MIGHT CHECK IN ABOUT ADDING SOME MIGHT NOT. JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU YOU AND COLLEAGUES AND FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND WHY I DON'T HAVE ANY AMENDMENTS HERE. IT'S BECAUSE I'M GOING TO WAIT FOR THE FULL, PERMANENT BILL. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER STRAUSS. COUNCIL MEMBER RINCK, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOLLOWING COUNCIL MEMBER MOORE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR HOLLINGSWORTH, AND ALSO WORKING WITH MY TEAM TO ADJUST SOME OF THE LANGUAGE INCLUDED IN THIS AMENDMENT. VERY THANKFUL WE WERE ABLE TO WORK QUICKLY AND CLARIFY INTENT SO THANK YOU. AND I ALSO WANTED TO FLAG IF THE PUBLIC IN COLLABORATION WITH COUNCIL MEMBER HOLLINGSWORTH'S OFFICE, I'LL ALSO BE WORKING ON AM PROPOSED ADDED LANGUAGE RELATED TO ACCESS INTO THIS WORK PLAN AMENDMENT. CONTACT LANGUAGE IS BEING FINALIZED BY MY OFFICE AND CENTRAL STAFF. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER RINCK. APPRECIATE THAT AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THAT ADDED TO THE WORK PLAN. SO APPRECIATE YOUR WORK AND YOUR STAFF'S DILIGENT WORK ON THAT. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. COUNCIL MEMBER MOORE. >> YEAH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHAIR. I TOO WANTED TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING WILLING TO INCLUDE ITEMS RELATED TO TREES AND CONSIDERING MHA AND UPON ADDITIONAL RESEARCH, SO THANK YOU, YOU KNOW, FOR YOUR COLLABORATION AND FLEXIBILITY, AND ALSO JUST THANK YOU FOR HOW YOU'VE BEEN HANDLING THIS WHOLE THING, THIS WHOLE COMPLICATED PROCESS OF MAKING A COMP PLAN THAT WE ALL FEEL GOOD ABOUT. AND I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT THIS ISN'T EXHAUSTIVE. THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT I, TOO, PULLED BACK BUT I PROBABLY WOULD BE BRINGING FORTH LIKE LOOKING FOR F.A.R. FOR ENCOURAGING STACKED FLATS SOCIAL HOUSING, MAKING SURE WE'RE ENCOURAGING SOCIAL HOUSING PLACEMENT. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER MOORE. COUNCIL MEMBER RIVERA FOLLOWED BY VICE PRESIDENT NELSON. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. I ALSO REALLY WANTED TO LEND MY GRATITUDE FOR TAKING ON THIS PROCESS DURING THIS COMMITTEE AND TAKING LEAD ON THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PROCESS FROM BEGINNING TO END. I DO ALSO WANT TO IN PARTICULAR THANK YOU FOR THIS WORK PLAN BECAUSE MANY OF THE THINGS THAT YOU ADDED HERE WERE THINGS THAT I -- I WAS THINKING ABOUT AS WELL, SO IT'S NICE TO HAVE THEM IN A WORK PLAN RELATED TO THE PERMANENT HB 1110 CODIFICATION VERSUS THIS INTERIM PIECE, SO I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOU INCLUDING THINGS ABOUT IN PARTICULAR TREES, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT THE DISTRICT THAT I REPRESENT VERY MUCH CARES ABOUT AND THE CONTEXT OF THIS PLAN, AND THE CONTINUATION OF THE CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW WE CAN HAVE HOUSING AND TREES. IT'S NOT EITHER/OR, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT AND MANY OF THE OTHER THINGS LIKE THE FLOOR AREA RATIO AND THINGS OF THAT MATTER THAT WE'RE GOING TO DIG INTO AS WE MOVE ALONG. I'M HAPPY THAT YOU INCLUDED THAT IN THERE, SO JUST REALLY WANTED TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER RIVERA. COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON. >> THANK YOU. SO WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT TODAY IS THAT TRUMP JUST RELEASED HIS PROPOSED BUDGET, AND IT WOULD REDUCE THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT'S FUNDING BY NEARLY 44% INCLUDING A 43% CUT TO RENT ASSISTANCE FOR PEOPLE LIVING ON LOW INCOMES. AND THE CUTS INCLUDED IN THIS PROPOSED BUDGET HAS WASHINGTON HOUSING ADVOCATES WARNING THAT THIS WOULD BE DEVASTATING. SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I AM -- I JUST WANT TO EXPLAIN THAT, FIRST OF ALL, I AM WAITING FOR THE PERMANENT LEGISLATION TO REALLY SERIOUSLY CONSIDER MY COLLEAGUE'S AMENDMENTS AND ALSO ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS AND ALSO POTENTIAL AMENDMENTS OF MY OWN. AND IN ADDITION TO ALLOWING FOR GREATER CAPACITY FOR HOUSING ALL OVER THE CITY, I WILL BE LOOKING AT WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN, IF POSSIBLE, THROUGH A COMP PLAN, BUT I KNOW IT'S PROBABLY NOT BUT HOW CAN WE MAKE HOUSING MORE INEXPENSIVE AND EASIER TO BUILD? I MEAN, IF THERE'S ANY POSSIBLE WAY OF DOING THAT. NOW, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE IS GOING TO WEAVE INTO WHAT I'M SAYING NOW AS PROPOSING SOMETHING, BUT YOU KNOW BUT I'M NOT TALKING IN CODE, PEOPLE. I'M BASICALLY SAYING THAT I THINK IT'S -- I AM MINDFUL OF THE FACT THAT WE -- ANY OPPORTUNITY WE HAD TO REALLY THINK ABOUT THE -- THE ADDED BURDENS WHEN PEOPLE DO WANT TO BUILD HOUSING IT'S A GOOD THING TO DO. SO MORE ON THAT LATER. THANK YOU. OH, I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE AMENDMENT 6 OR THE ITEM 6, PLEASE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY -- WELL, IT'S MAINTAIN PUBLIC TRANSIT -- THE WORDS "MAINTAIN" AND "PUBLIC" WERE CROSSED OUT, SO I'D LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ANTICIPATING PRIVATE TRANSIT, ARE WE? >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT FOR THAT. I KNOW OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE BROUGHT UP THE MEANING OF TRANSIT AND TRANSPORTATION, SO WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON THAT LANGUAGE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CLEAR. THE INTENT BEHIND THE -- AND SOMEONE EDUCATED ME REGARDING PRIVATE PROPERTY VERSUS PUBLIC AND THE DIFFERENCE AND WHAT NOT, SO WE'LL GET THAT CLARIFIED ON NUMBER 6 AND MAKE SURE THAT IT READS PROPERLY REGARDING THAT. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT FEEDBACK. IT WAS GOOD. I APPRECIATE IT. WE'LL -- WE'LL WORK WITH THE LANGUAGE, AND THEN I KNOW THAT SOME OTHER PEOPLE WANT TO BRING SOME MORE WORK STUFF TO THE WORK PLAN TO ADD, WHICH WE'LL TOTALLY LOVE AND WE'LL GET IT SO WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE. BUT JUST TO REMIND PEOPLE, IT'S FOR A CONVERSATION. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT PEOPLE CAN'T BRING THEIR AMENDMENTS TO THIS PROCESS AND WHAT NOT, I JUST WANTED TO TRY TO GET EVERYTHING ALL INTO ONE FOR A COMPREHENSIVE WORK PLAN TO A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. OKAY, AMENDMENT NUMBER 3. >> AND IT'S BASICALLY RESTORING PROVISIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE LAND USE CODE BACK INTO THE COUNCIL BILL. >> ALL RIGHT, AMENDMENT NUMBER 3 IS SPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBER MOORE WHO MAINTAINED CURRENT LOT MAXIMUM IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES OR MIDDLE HOUSING COULD BE DEVELOPED UNDER THE INTERIM REGULATIONS MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE UNDER 50% IS PROPOSED BY THE MAYOR. SO THIS IS AN AMENDMENT GEARED TOWARDS A LOOPHOLE IN THE LEGISLATION TO MAKE SURE THAT IT CAN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MIDDLE DEVELOPMENT HOUSING STANDARDS. >> COUNCILMEMBER MOORE. >> THANK YOU, THIS IS REALLY STRAIGHTFORWARD BECAUSE OF INTERIM LEGISLATION AND THE INTENT FOR HB 1110 WAS TO ENCOURAGE MIDDLE HOUSING, SO JUST MAKING SURE THAT A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME ISN'T ABLE TO BASICALLY PREMATURELY VEST AND GET THE BENEFIT OF 50% WHEN THE PURPOSE OF THE 50% IS TO ALLOW FOR MIDDLE HOUSING, SO THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU. >> AWESOME, THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER MOORE. AND I WILL PAUSE HERE FOR IF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS AMENDMENT FOR CENTRAL STAFF OR TO THE SPONSOR. DON'T BE SO QUICK TO THROW UP YOUR HAND. OKAY, AWESOME. >> SORRY, CHAIR, CAN I JUST MAKE ONE -- >> GO RIGHT AHEAD. >> RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS TO APPLY TO ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS, AND THAT'S AN ERROR, SO THIS IS JUST TO BE MEANT TO SINGLE- FAMILY HOMES, SO WE WILL BE CORRECTING THAT. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION COUNSELMEMBER MOORE. IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE'LL MOVE ONTO AMENDMENT 4. >> AMENDMENT 4 IS SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. IT WOULD MAINTAIN THE CURRENT FRONT YARDS BETWEEN QUEEN ANNE BOULEVARD. "CAFFEINE & OCTANE" ANNE BOULEVARD IS A PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY IN QUEEN ANNE AND THIS AMENDMENT WOULD RETAIN THE CURRENT FRONT YARD REQUIREMENTS AS OPPOSED TO UPDATING THEM TO 10 FEET AS PROPOSED IN THE LEGISLATION. AND THERE'S JUST ONE OTHER MINOR TECHNICAL AMENDMENT THAT CORRECTS A INCORRECT REFERENCE. >> THANK YOU, ASHA. COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR HOLLINGSWORTH. THANK YOU TO THE CENTRAL STAFF TEAM. APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT ON THIS AND OTHER IDEAS FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. VITAL TO HAVE THE EXPERTISE THAT WE HAVE ON CENTRAL STAFF. IT'S REALLY HELPFUL AS WE WALK THROUGH THE ISSUES, AND AS WE ENGAGE WITH CONSTITUENTS AND OTHER GROUPS AND THE LIKE ON THE ISSUES WITHIN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SO THANK YOU. THIS -- THIS AMENDMENT RELATES TO THE QUEEN ANNE BOULEVARD PARK. IT IS A PARK, AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE OF -- IT WASN'T PART OF THE ORIGINAL 1903 WITH JOHN CHARLES OLMSTEAD, BUT JOHN CHARLES OLMSTEAD IN 1906 DESIGNED IT AND IT WAS 1911 AND 1916. AND THE PARK GIVES VISTAS NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST TAKING ADVANTAGE OF QUEEN ANNE HILL. IT'S BASICALLY A CROWN ON TOP OF THE HILL. THERE'S SOME NOTABLE PIECES TO THIS, THE WILCOX WALL AND OTHERS. AND IT ALSO CONNECTS TO SOME OF THE VARIOUS PARK VISTA POINTS TO INCLUDE MARSHAL PARK, WHICH IS WHERE THE LOCALS KNOW WHERE TO GO WHEN KERRY PARK IS OVERRUN WITH TOURISTS. GO DOWN TO MARSHALL PARK. IN TERMS OF VIEWING THE BAY AND THE SOUND. AND THERE'S THE PARK ON THE OTHER SIDE TO THE EAST. I MENTION KERRY PARK, BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO PLACES LIKE THE BOSTON STREET VIEWPOINT IF YOU'RE WATCHING THE FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS, THAT'S WHERE YOU WANT TO BE IN TERMS OF TAKING IT IN. IN ADDITION TO MANY OTHER VIEWPOINTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE LOOP, WHICH IS NEARLY 4 MILES LONG, AND IT'S UNIQUE AMONG PARKS, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THIS AMENDMENT HAS COME ON IS I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND OTHER PARKS, BUT THE STREET IS THE PARK AND THE AREA BESIDE THE STREET IS THE PARK, SO IT'S VERY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. AND IT IS A STREET USE, AND WE TALK ABOUT STREET USES FOR PEDESTRIANS, BUT THIS IS THAT FOR RUNNERS AND FOR BIKERS. IT'S BEEN USED FOR QUEEN ANNE COMMUNITY RUNS, YOU KNOW, FUND- RAISING AND THE LIKE. IT WAS THERE FOR ALL OF US DURING THE PANDEMIC. I, FOR ONE, WHEN I COULDN'T GO TO THE GYM ANYMORE IN THE WEEKEND MORNINGS WOULD GET UP AND GO AND WALK THE ENTIRE LOOP AS EXERCISE WHEN WE COULDN'T BE INSIDE IN THE GYM AND THE LIKE. IT PROVIDES THAT, BY THE WAY, NOT JUST FOR QUEEN ANNE RESIDENTS OR DISTRICT 7 RESIDENTS BUT FOR THE ENTIRE CITY. ONE THING I'VE LEARNED FROM THIS IS ACTUALLY PEOPLE DO COME FROM ALL OVER THE CITY BECAUSE IT'S BEAUTIFUL. SOMEONE HAD MENTIONED LIKE WALKING THROUGH, YOU KNOW, A TREE TUNNEL, VARIOUS SECTIONS OF IT REALLY DO HAVE LIKE A TREE TUNNEL WITH YOU WALK AND YOU HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THAT. AND I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE GNAT NOT JUST FOR, YOU KNOW, THE EXAMPLE OF THE PANDEMIC WHERE GYMS AND ACCESSORIES WERE CLOSED, BUT AS WE DENSIFY IN OTHER AREAS OF QUEENS ANNE DISTRICT AND THE CITY, THIS IS AN AREA FOR THOSE PEOPLE LIVING IN THAT DENSE ENVIRONMENT TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IN QUEEN ANNE WE HAVE THE 21 BOSTON PROJECT, ALSO KNOWN AS THE 325 APARTMENTS, SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT DENSIFICATION. IT'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE, AND IT'S ON QUEEN ANNE NORTH. BUT, YOU KNOW, IF THEY WANT TO HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY, THEY JUST HAVE TO WALK DOWN BOSTON STREET TO BIGELOW, GO LEFT OR RIGHT AND THEN THEY CAN DO THIS LOOP. I THINK THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT WE CAN BE MINDFUL OF THAT WE DENSIFY TO MAINTAIN THOSE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR CITY, OUR RESIDENTS AND FRIENDS TO HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY, AND SO THAT IS THE, YOU KNOW, THE BACKGROUND IF YOU WILL ON THIS REALLY IMPORTANT, UNIQUE PARK WITHIN OUR SYSTEM, SO THANK YOU, CHAIR HOLLINGSWORTH. AND THANK YOU, AGAIN, CENTRAL STAFF TEAM. >> THANK VERY VIVID WALK THROUGH QUEEN ANNE. A HUMAN GOOGLE MAP. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE? IS THERE ANYONE WHO HAS QUESTIONS? OKAY, WE CAN WAIT -- ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL THE END, TOO, AS WELL IF YOU'RE JUST ALL DIGESTING THIS. I KNOW THIS IS A LOT. SO THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE, AND THEN LET'S MOVE TO AMENDMENT 5. >> AMENDMENT 5 IS SPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBER RINCK. IT RESTORES LANGUAGE TO HOW MUCH DEVELOPMENT YOU CAN DO ON A SMALL LOT, A LOT LESS THAN ,000 SQUARE FEET. IT TAKES EXISTING LANGUAGE FROM THE CODE AND RESTORES IT TO SAY ON A SMALL LOT YOU CAN HAVE AT LEAST 2,500 SQUARE FEET OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. >> AWESOME. AND COUNCILMEMBER RINCK, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WORKING WITH US ON THIS LIST. SO THIS AMENDMENT IS MEANT TO BE TECHNICAL AND REALLY A CLARIFYING AMENDMENT. JUST RESTORE THE MINIMUM FLOOR AREA ON STANDARD LOTS. THE STANDARD AMENDMENTS ARE IN PLACE TODAY AND MEANT TO MATCH THE EXISTING CODE, NOT TO MAKE A POLICY CHANGE. IT WAS OUR UNDERSTANDING THIS CHANGE WAS SOMEWHAT UNINTENTIONAL, SO WORKING TO REMEDY THIS. THANK YOU, CHAIR. >> AWESOME. THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER RINCK. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THAT OR ELSE WE'LL KEEP PLUGGING AWAY. OKAY, WE'LL DO AMENDMENT NUMBER 6. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THAT, COUNSEL COUNCILMEMBER RINCK. >> AMENDMENT 6 IS BY FAR THE MOST COMPLICATED AMENDMENT. IT AMENDS TWO DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE CODE RELATED TO RESIDENTIAL RIMTS. ONE IN THE RESIDENTIAL CHAPTER AND THE OTHER IN THE MULTIFAMILY CHAPTER PLAYING TO LOW RIDES DEVELOPMENT. IT REORGANIZES BOTH SECTIONS IN ORDER TO INCREASE USABILITY IN PARTICULAR TO EMPHASIZE THAT ON ALL LOTS FOUR UNITS ARE ALLOWED, OR SIX UNITS IN PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. IT UPDATES THE DATE THAT LOTS -- SO YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT UNDER COUNCIL BILL 1201269 LOTS CREATED AFTER AS DRAFTED MARCH 28th WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO USE THE FOUR OR SIX UNITS. THIS UPDATES THAT PROVISION TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE BILL, SO JUNE 30th, 2025, RATHER THAN THAT MARCH DATE SO THAT PEOPLE AREN'T UNINTENTIONALLY SUBDIVIDING THEIR PROPERTY AND THEN SUDDENLY FINDING OUT THEY CAN'T ACTUALLY APPLY THE LAND USE CODE. IT CLARIFIES THAT IN RESIDENTIAL SMALL LOT ZONES ONE PRINCIPAL UNIT IS PERMITTED PER 2,000 SQUARE FEET, WHICH IS CURRENT CODE, OR A MINIMUM OF SIX UNITS APPLYING HOUSE BILL 1110. IT ADDRESSED THE GROUNDING THRESHOLD FOR RESIDENTIAL ZONES APPLYING CURRENT ROUNDING PROVISIONS. THERE'S A NUMBER OF OTHER CLARIFICATIONS, AND THEN MAKES ONE CORRECTION TO THE LOW RISE ZONE PROVISIONS. IN OUR CURRENT LOW RISE RESIDENTIAL CODE THERE ARE DENSITY LIMITS TO BE APPLIED TO TOWNHOUSES AND ROW HOUSES AND SINGLE- FAMILY HOUSES. BUT APARTMENT BUILDINGS OR STACKED FLATS DON'T HAVE A DENSITY LIMIT. AS DRAFTED, IT APPEARED THAT THE BILL WOULD APPLY A DENSITY LIMIT TO STACKED FLATS, AND SO THIS AMENDMENT CORRECTS THAT TO CLARIFY THAT WE ARE NOT SUDDENLY APPLYING A NEW DENSITY LIMIT TO STACKED FLATS THAT ISN'T IN THE CURRENT CODE, AND IT WASN'T INTENDED BY THE EXECUTIVE. YEAH. HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AS THEY COME UP. >> AWESOME. AND I'LL TAKE THIS MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE THE SPONSOR OF THE BILL, COUNCILMEMBER RINCK. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. DON'T BE DAUNTED. THIS COLLECTION IS JUST A COLLECTION OF TECHNICAL TWEETS IN A SINGULAR AMENDMENT TO ENSURE WE ARE MEETING HOUSE BILL 1110 REQUIREMENTS. SO FOR INSTANCE IT SAYS IN PLAIN LANGUAGE THAT YOU CAN HAVE FOUR UNITS ON EVERY LOT REGARDLESS OF SIZE. IT CLARIFIES SUBDIVISION RULES AND LEAVES MANY SECTIONS OF THE INTERIM LEGISLATION AS IS. THIS IS MEANT TO SERVE AS MOSTLY TECHNICAL AND A CLARIFYING AMENDMENT, NOT MEANT TO SERVE AS A MAJOR CHANGE IN POLICY. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> AWESOME. THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER RINCK. I'LL PAUSE HERE BEFORE WE MOVE ON, BUT WE CAN ALSO ASK QUESTIONS AT THE END AS WE'RE DIGESTING ALL OF THIS. AWESOME. WE WILL MOVE ONTO AMENDMENT NUMBER 6 -- EXCUSE ME, THAT WAS NUMBER 6. NUMBER 7. MY APOLOGIES. >> SO YOU MIGHT REMEMBER YOU'RE MEETING AT THE END OF MARCH, I THINK IT WAS, WHERE THE EXECUTIVE BROUGHT IN REAL ESTATE FINANCE EXPERTS AND DISCUSSED SOME OF THE IMPEDIMENTS TO BUILDING STACKED FLATS IN SEATTLE. THEY IDENTIFIED THAT THE INCREASED REQUIREMENTS THAT APPLY TO PROJECTS THAT HAVE TO GO THROUGH REVIEW UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL CODE, THOSE INCREASED COSTS ARE ONE BARRIER TO SEEING STACKED FLATS BUILT IN SEATTLE. THE STATE LEGISLATURE HAS RECOGNIZED THAT AND REQUIRED THE WASHINGTON STATE BUILDING COUNCIL TO REVIEW THE STATE BUILDING CODE, TO IDENTIFY WHETHER OR NOT CHANGES SHOULD BE MADE TO ALLOW A BROADER RANGE OF MENTAL HOUSING TYPES TO BE REVIEWED UNDER THAT CODE. THAT WORK IS EXPECTED TO BE DONE BY THE END OF THE YEAR. THE CITY CAN'T CHANGE ITS BUILDING AND RESIDENTIAL CODE UNTIL THE STATE ACTS, SO WHAT THIS AMENDMENT SAYS, IT BASICALLY ASKS THE SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF CONSTRUCTION AND INSPECTIONS CODE DEVELOPMENT TEAM TO REPORT BACK TO THE COUNCIL IN JANUARY ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED AT THE STATE LEVEL AND TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS FOR IMPLEMENTING ANY CHANGES TO THE RESIDENTIAL CODE TO ALLOW, FOR EXAMPLE, STACKED FLATS TO BE REVIEWED UNDER IT. >> AWESOME. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER RINK, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. AND THIS WOULD BE TREMENDOUSLY MATERIAL FOR US TO RECEIVE AS COUNCIL TO GUIDE FURTHERFURTHER DECISION MAKING. THANK YOU. >> AWESOME. AND I WILL PAUSE THERE TO SEE IF OTHER FOLKS HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU CHAIR LISH. SO AS TCI ONCE THE CODE IS UPDATED, WOULD THEY COME -- WOULD WE NEED TO DO LEGISLATION, RIGHT, LIKE TCI WOULD HAVE TO FORWARD LEGISLATION FOR US TO APPROVE? I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NOTHING UNILATERAL HERE THEY'D HAVE TO COME TO US TO MAKE THE CHANGE AS TO MATCH WHATEVER THE CODE IS UPDATED TO BE. >> CORRECT. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> AWESOME, THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA. NO ABSOLUTELY. I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE. >> JUST GOING BACK TO AMENDMENT 6, JUST WANTING SOME CLARIFICATION. I APPRECIATE COUNCILMEMBER RINCK, THIS IS MOSTLY A TECHNICAL BILL. CURIOUS, LISH EXPLAINED ANOTHER 8 WHICH SAYS EXPLAIN LANGUAGE STATING IN LOW RISE ZONES MINIMUM LOT SIZES ONLY APPLY TO THOSE RATHER THAN ATTACHED AND DETACHED HOUSING. >> SO CURRENTLY IN OUR LOW RISE ZONING CODE WE HAVE DENSITY LIMITS THAT APPLY TO -- I'M TRYING TO FIND THE LANGUAGE. WE HAVE DENSITY LIMITS THAT APPLY TO ROW HOUSES AND TOWNHOUSES AND SINGLE- FAMILY HOUSES. OTHER TYPES OF MULTI- FAMILY HOUSING THAT ARE ALLOWED IN THE LOW RISE ONE ZONE, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE STACKED FLATS DOES NOT HAVE A DENSITY LIMIT. AS DRAFTED, THE BILL WOULD SAY THAT THERE ARE DENSITY LIMITS FOR ATTACHED AND DETACHED HOUSING. THOSE ARE TERMS THAT ARE LIKELY TO APPEAR IN THE PERMANENT LEGISLATION AND BE DEFINED -- AND BE DEFINED AS SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN STACKED FLATS. BUT BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THOSE DEFINITIONS IN THE INTERIM LEGISLATION, THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME MEANING AS IS INTENDED UNDER THE PERMANENT LEGISLATION. AND SO THIS IS INTENDED TO BASICALLY TAKE THE CURRENT WAY THAT WE REGULATE STACKED FLATS IN LOW RISE AND NOTNOT ANY CHANGES. >> SO THIS FACILITATES MAKING STACKED FLATS. >> YES. >> AND NEXT SINGLE- FAMILY DWELLINGS ARE SUBJECT TO STANDARDS FOR 2000 HOUSES? ? CAN YOU ELABORATE ON THAT? >> THAT'S A PROVISION IN THE MULTI- FAMILY CODE THAT SAYS SINGLE FAMILY HOUSES AND TOWNHOUSES HAVE THE SAME DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS. >> OKAY, AND IS THAT -- IS THAT BEING CHANGED -- >> NOT CHANGED AT. >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER MOORE. I'LL PAUSE HERE IF WE HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS. I THINK IT WOULD BE SUPER -- I WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR CENTRAL STAFF TO WALK US ALONG POTENTIALLY THE NEXT STEPS REGARDING IN THIS PROCESS WITH THE AMENDMENTS AND PUBLIC HEARING, JUST THE TIME LINE, IF THAT'S GOOD. AND DEADLINES YOU HAVE FOR US FOR AMENDMENTS. >> SO YOU HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED FOR MAY 19th. HOPEFULLY THERE WON'T BE MANY CHANGES TO THE AMENDMENTS COMING OUT OF THAT MEETING, BUT PLEASE LET US KNOW BY, LIKE, 10:00 A.M. ON THE MORNING OF THE 20th IF YOU THINK ANYTHING THAT YOU PUT FORWARD REALLY NEEDS TO CHANGE. THE MEETING TO VOTE ON AMENDMENTS AND VOTE ON THE BILL IS MAY 21st. MEET THE DEADLINE FOR HAVING EVERYTHING IN EFFECT BY JUNE 30th, YOU NEED TO HAVE A COMMITTEE VOTE THAT DAY. AND COUNCIL VOTE THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY. >> AWESOME. THANK YOU. AND COLLEAGUES, AS I SAID THAT OUR WORK PLAN IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. I KNOW THAT I'VE TALKED TO A COUPLE OF OFFICES, COUNCILMEMBER RINCK'S OFFICE AND SOME OTHER FOLKS ABOUT ADDING SOME LANGUAGE TO THE WORK PLAN, WHICH WE ARE COMPLETELY OPEN TO AND WANT TO WORK WITH YOUR OFFICE SO EVERYONE FEELS COMFORTABLE ABOUT OUR WORK PLAN AND THE LANGUAGE IN THERE AS WELL. SO JUST WANTED TO THROW THAT OUT THERE AS WELL. AND THIS IS ALSO A REMINDER THAT AFTER WE GET THROUGH THE INTERIM LEGISLATION FOR -- I HEARD SOMEONE TODAY ON A -- ON A MEETING CALL AT 1,110 -- HOUSE BILL 1,110, AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS -- KIND OF THREW ME OFF. SO I WON'T NAME IT THAT. IT WILL BE HOUSE BILL 1110. SO HOUSE BILL 1110, INTERIM LEGISLATION TO THAT. THEN OUR NEXT BIG CHUNK IS THE PERMANENT LEGISLATION TO THIS WHOLE PIECE, WHICH IS THE PERMANENT HOUSE BILL 1110 LEGISLATION, WHICH I KNOW WILL BE A HEAVY LIFT AND A LOT OF WORK FOR CENTRAL STAFF BECAUSE THIS WILL BE THE PERMANENT LEGISLATION THAT WILL BE FOR OUR CITY, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET IT RIGHT. AND SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ALL DURING THAT PROCESS, AND PHASE ONE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS WELL THAT WE'LL BE WORKING ON AND TAKING THAT ON BEFORE BUDGET, SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE ALL -- I KNOW THAT I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH ALL OF YOU, BUT THAT WE ARE AWARE OF THAT. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE IS THAT AN OLD HAND OR A NEW HAND? IT'S STALE, OKAY, OLD HAND. YOU'RE GOOD. IS THERE OTHER QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE TODAY FOR CENTRAL STAFF? ANY CLARIFICATIONS OR ANY CLARIFICATIONS ON AMENDMENTS THAT WE HAVE? Y'ALL ARE AN EASY BUNCH. OKAY. SO BEFORE -- BEFORE WE -- WELL, LET ME REWIND. FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU, CENTRAL STAFF, BECAUSE I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN A LOT OF WORK. IT'S GONE BACK AND FORTH, YOU KNOW, WITH THE EXECUTIVE AND TIMELINES AND NOT KNOWING AND EIS AND, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC HEARINGS, AND THERE'S JUST BEEN A LOT TO JUGGLE HERE AND TIMELINES AND WORK BACK. AND I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR CENTRAL STAFF AND ALL YOUR WORK DURING THIS PROCESS AND BEING SO FLEXIBLE WITH GRACE. MY GRANDMOTHER ALWAYS SAID YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE GRACE WITH EVERYTHING, SO YOU ALL HAVE BEEN FLEXIBLE AND GRACEFUL, THOSE TWO THINGS, AS WELL AS WE HAVE BEEN NAVIGATING THIS AS WELL. SO THAT'S THE FIRST THING. THE SECOND THING, AND I -- AND I HAD JUST FOUND THIS OUT TODAY, AND I WAS ON A MASSIVE GROUP E-MAIL, BUT I WANTED TO SEND OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO REPRESENTATIVE JAMILA TAYLOR WHO HAD A MEDICAL EMERGENCY TODAY AND IS IN THE HOSPITAL. AND I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT, SO REP TAYLOR WORKED WITH FORMER REST IN PEACE REPRESENTATIVE FRANK CHOP IN THE HOME COVENANT FUND THAT PASSED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AND WAS REALLY A CHAMPION THIS YEAR AS WELL. AND THE REASON WHY THAT BILL IS SO IMPORTANT TO COMMUNITY FOLKS IS BECAUSE IT GIVES FIRST- TIME HOME BUYERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A HOME WHERE PEOPLE WHO WERE ORIGINALLY DISPROPORTIONATELY TARGETED÷÷TARGETED THE RACIST PRACTICES OF HOME BUYING IN OUR CITY. AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, COLLEAGUES, YOU KNOW ABOUT RED LINING AND SO FORTH AND THE AMOUNT WAS TAKEN FROM COMMUNITIES OF COLOR, PARTICULARLY BLACK COMMUNITIES. MY GRANDMOTHER WENT TO BACK IN 1947 -- 46 WENT TO MIGILVA BOULEVARD IN MADISON PARK AND WANTED TO BUY A HOME IN THE 1940s AND WAS TOLD I CAN SELL IT YOU BUT YOU CAN'T LIVE HERE, AND A LOT OF THAT HAPPENED THROUGHOUT OUR CITIES WHETHER THEY WERE BLACK, WHETHER THEY WERE JEWISH, ASIAN, HISPANIC, ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS. AND SO THE OTHER DAY I RECEIVED A -- I RECEIVED A E- MAIL FROM A WOMAN WHO BOUGHT HER FIRST HOME WITH COVENANT FUNDS FROM THE STATE, AND SHE ALSO GOT FUNDS FROM COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT FUND, WHICH WAS FUNDS SET FORTH FROM CANNABIS TAX DOLLARS TO REINVEST IN COMMUNITIES WHO WERE DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY THE WAR ON DRUGS, SO SHE USED THOSE TWO FUNDS TO BUY HER HOME. THIS WOMAN USED TO LIVE IN THE CENTRAL DISTRICT BORN AND RAISED, SINGLE MOM, 7-YEAR- OLD DAUGHTER WHO WAS AROUND A LOT OF VIOLENCE AND DRUGS AND SO FORTH IN HER NEIGHBORHOOD GROWING UP, AND SHE BOUGHT A HOME. THE VIDEO SHOWS HER, AND I'M GOING TO BLAST IT OUT BECAUSE THIS VIDEO IS PHENOMENAL. GOES, TAKES HER DAUGHTER INTO THIS HOME, AND IT'S THE FIRST HOME HER FAMILY HAS EVER HAD IN HER ENTIRE LIFETIME. AND SHE SHOWS HER DAUGHTER HER ROOM FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. THEY HAD ALWAYS LIVED IN ONE BEDP- ROOM APARTMENTS. SHE'S ALWAYS SHARED A ROOM WITH HER MOM. BROUGHT HER INTO THIS HOUSE, AND SHE SAID DO YOU LIKE THIS HOME, AND THE DAUGHTER SAYS YES, AND SHE SAID THIS IS YOUR ROOM, AND THE GIRL STARTS CELEBRATING AND CRYING. AND I SHARE THAT BECAUSE THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT REPRESENTATIVE TAYLOR AND FRANC CHOP FOR THE BOLD STANCE THEY DID ON THE COVENANT PROGRAM, WHICH IS A FORM OF REPARATIONS OF THE WEALTH THAT WAS EXTRACTED FROM BLACK COMMUNITIES. ANYWAYS, SENDING OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS WITH REPRESENTATIVE JAMILA TAYLOR AND I'M GOING TO SEND YOU THAT VIDEO. ANYWHO, I WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. THANK YOU, EVERYONE. WITH THAT, WE HAVE NO OTHER ITEMS ON THE AGENDA TODAY, BUT DO MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ANYMOREIMES ANYMORE ITEMS OF BUSINESS THEY WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP? JUST SEEING SMILING FACES. OKAY, EASY MONEY. THANK YOU. THIS IS GOING TO CONCLUDE OUR MAY 7th MEETING. THE NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING IS OUR PUBLIC HEARING, AND THAT IS MONDAY, MAY 19th. THIS PUBLIC SESSION WILL BE BROKEN INTO TWO SESSIONS, 9:30 FOR ONLINE, OKAY. AND THEN THE SECOND ONE WILL BE 4:00 P.M. , WHICH WILL BE THERE IN PERSON. SO WE HAVE TWO SEPARATE REGISTRATIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ONLINE AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE AN IN- PERSON AS WELL. AND SO IF THERE'S NO FURTHER BUSINESS, IT IS MAY 7, 2:48 P.M., THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED. THANK YOU.
