ORGANIZING AND LEADING WORK
PARTIES TO HELP RESTORE OUR
CITIES URBAN GREEN SPACES. I
URGE YOU, DO NOT APPROVE OF THE
INTERIM LEGISLATION AS IT IS
CURRENTLY DRAFTED FOR THREE
REASONS. IF IT IS ENACTED AS IS
THE INTERIM LEGISLATION WILL
HARM TREES AND REDUCE GREEN
SPACE BY INCREASING LOT COVERAGE
AND REDUCING SETBACK
REQUIREMENTS THROUGHOUT THE
ENTIRE CITY. THESE CHANGES ARE
NOT REQUIRED BY HB 1110. IF AND
ACTED AS IS THE INTERIM
LEGISLATION WILL ALLOW FOR
INCREASED DEVELOPMENT ON SLOPES
AND SLIDE DEVELOPMENT ON STEEP
SLOPES IS EXPENSIVE, RISKY AND
DOESN'T LEAD TO MORE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. THERE ARE ALREADY BIG
CHANGES FOR CITY AND HB 1110.

FEBRUARY. MORGAN COMMUNITY
ASSOCIATION APPRECIATES THE
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE COMMENTS
ABOUT COUNCIL THE 120969 . WE
SUPPORT SOME OF THE AMENDMENTS
TO HELP PORTIONS WITH CRITICAL
AREAS SUCH AS HAZARD AREAS
TREATED, BUT WITH A HUGE CAVEAT
THAT REMEMBER ENVIRONMENTALLY
CRITICAL AREAS DO NOT BELIEVE OR
FOLLOW OR COUNCIL PROPERTY
LINES. SOMETIMES IT IS PRUDENT
TO LEAVE A WHOLE ENVIRONMENTALLY
CRITICAL AREA ALONE AND NOT OF
ZONE AS IS THE CASE OF THE
MORGAN JUNCTION AREA. COMBINED
WITH NARROW INADEQUATE
INFRASTRUCTURE CANNOT ALWAYS BE
FIXED AND WE RECOMMEND THE
COUNCIL JUST AVOID SPLITTING
HAIRS THAT HAVE THOSE MISSIONS.
WE HAVE AN EXCEPTIONAL
100-YEAR-OLD TREE AND NONE
LISTED TODAY WOULD --
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE
MICHAEL BRONNER.

REQUIRE PRESERVATION OF TREES
THAT IS IN THE PROPOSED .
MODIFICATIONS TO ENCOURAGE
DEVELOPMENT OF A BROAD RANGE OF
MIDDLE HOUSING ACTIONS AND
DESIGNS INCLUDING INSTEAD OF
JUST POORLY DESIGNED NARROW TREE
AND FOUR-STORY TOWNHOMES THAT
ARE CURRENTLY NOT SUITABLE FOR
AGING IN PLACE. BASED ON
FEEDBACK FROM A DECEMBER 2024
COMMUNITY MEETING WE HELD WE
URGED IMPROVED OPERATIONS AND
IMPROVED CONSIDERATION OF THE
EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND
COMMUNITY SERVICES AND
ADDITIONAL ATTENTION ON THE
EXISTING CURRENT OF ZONE AREAS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

MANAGER AT CLIMATE SOLUTIONS.
I'M A LIFELONG WEST SEATTLEITE.
STRONGLY SUPPORT THE
RECOMMENDATION OF THE COMPLETE
COMMUNITY COALITION AND CALL ON
COUNCIL TO PASS THE INTERIM
ZONING ORDINANCE. ENSURING
COMMUNITIES CAN CONTINUE TO LIVE
AND THRIVE IN THEIR
NEIGHBORHOODS WHILE SEATTLE'S
POPULATION CONTINUES TO GROW IS
NECESSARY FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE
ALLOWING THEM TO ADAPT TO THE
DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT OF
CLIMATE CHANGE THEY FACE AND
REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
FROM TRANSPORTATION AND HOUSING.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEAR TRANSIT
WILL STILL PROTECT COMMUNITIES
OF COLOR AND LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES FROM BEING DISPLACED
IS KEY TO THE CLIMATE FUTURE.
PLEASE PASS THE INTERIM ZONING
ORDINANCE AND WE: COUNCIL TO
PASS THE FULL ONE SEATTLE PLAN
TO ENSURE A LIVABLE FUTURE FOR
SEATTLEITES. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT. PRESS STAR
SIX.
>> GOOD MORNING. I LIVE IN WEST
SEATTLE. I'M HERE TO ASKED TO
MOVE QUICKLY TO PASS THE
LEGISLATION WHICH WAS THE MOST
POPULAR OPTION DURING THE THREE
YEARS ALREADY OCCURRED. MY
LANDLORD IS IN THE PROCESS OF
RAISING MY RENT AND SEND TO TO
THE FACT THERE ARE SO FEW HOMES
AVAILABLE FOR RENT WHICH GIVES
HIM THE POWER TO RAISE IT SO
IT'S FRUSTRATING WHEN I HEAR
STRESS OUT WHEN MY LANDLORD
CLEARLY UNDERSTANDS. THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR RAISING
HOUSING PRICES AND ARE URGENT.
PLEASE PRESS PROMPTLY THIS YEAR
AS WELL.
>> NEXT .
>> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
TO COMMENT TODAY. I'M HERE ON
BEHALF OF THE SEATTLE REALTORS.
WE ARE IN HOUSING SUPPLY CRISIS.
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH HOUSING
AND WHAT WE DO HAVE IS
UNAFFORDABLE FOR MOST. THE ONLY
PATH TO GREATER HOUSING
AFFORDABILITY IS TO INCREASE OUR
HOUSING SUPPLY. ALONG THOSE
LINES WE URGE YOU TO PASS THE
INTERIM ORDINANCE WITHOUT DELAY
TO ALLOW A DIVERSE RANGE OF
MIDDLE HOUSING. LOOKING FORWARD
TO THE ONE SEATTLE PLAN WE HOPE
YOU WILL ACCOMPLISH THIS BEFORE
BUDGET. INTERIM ORDINANCE IS
ONLY THE FIRST STEP. WE NEED A
BOLD COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT
ENABLES MORE HOUSES AND WILL
BRING DOWN THE HOUSING PRICES.
IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN THE STATE
MINIMUM TO SOLVE THIS SUPPLY
CRISIS. WE CAN ADD HOUSING IN A
MANNER THAT MAKES OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS AND CITY MORE
VIBRANT AND MORE AFFORDABLE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOOD WORK.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT.
>> HELLO. I LIVE IN DISTRICT TWO
AND I WORK WITH THE COALITION AS
WE SAID IN OUR LETTER LAST WEEK
WE URGE YOU TO ADJUST PROPERTIES
IN A CURRENT VERSION OF CB
120969 TO MATCH THE CURRENT
CODE. THIS WOULD ALLOW CRITICAL
ROOM FOR TREES TO GROW. THE
CURRENT SETBACK ARE LESS THEN
THE STATE MODEL AND OPEN THE
DOOR FOR EVEN MORE DEVASTATING
FOR A STATION. IF YOU ARE
UNWILLING TO OBTAIN THE CODE AT
MINIMUM ADOPT THE STATE MODEL
CODE. YOU CAN ACHIEVE ADEQUATE
SPACE AND MORE HOMES WITHOUT
COMPROMISING SETBACKS IS
CURRENTLY WRITTEN FOR THIS
LEGISLATION IT WILL HARM THE
TREE CANOPY AND THEREFORE
INVADES YOUR PUBLIC HEALTH,
WELL-BEING AND CLIMATE
RESILIENCE AS A REGION EVEN WITH
COUNCIL IT IS IMPERATIVE WE
BALANCE DEVELOPMENT. IT IS A
NEED FOR TREE CANOPIES. THANK
YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> HI. WE NEED TO CREATE BOTH AN
INNOVATIVE FUTURE WE WANT AND
NEED, HEALTHY CITY OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING, CLEAN GROUNDWATER
RUNOFF AND CLIMATE RESILIENCE.
IF WE ALLOW THE PROPOSED CURRENT
PLANNING TO BUILD A FUTURE
WITHOUT TREE CANOPIES WE WILL
ALSO GET SIGNIFICANTLY
CONTAMINATED URBAN WATER RUNOFF
AND A DECLINE IN OVERALL HEALTH
EXCEPT IN WEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS
WHERE THEY CAN AFFORD TREES. WE
KNOW THERE'S CRITICAL RUNOFF
KILLING OUR RESIDENT KILLER
WHALES AND IMPACTING OUR NEWLY
DECLARED. WE ACKNOWLEDGE WHERE
ON OCCUPIED INDIGENOUS LAND. HOW
CAN A CITY DECIDE THROUGH
FAILING TO PROTECT WITH PROPER
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION?
THESE WHALES ARE NOT JUST IN
DANGER, THEY ARE CRITICAL
MEMBERS OF THE INDIGENOUS TRIBES
OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. WE
NEED TO BE INNOVATIVE OF HOW WE
CAN HAVE BOTH A HEALTHY
ENVIRONMENT AND FLOURISHING CITY
WHERE EVERYONE HAS A HOME AND
HEALTHY PLACE TO LIVE. BUILD UP.

>> LET THAT REFLECT SHE JOINED A
WHILE AGO. THANK YOU
COUNCILMEMBER RINK FOR JOINING
US.
>> FOLLOWED BY JOANNA COLON.
>> HELLO. I CO-CHAIR THE SEATTLE
PLANNING COMMISSION. THINK YOU
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO OFFER
COMMENTS ON BEHALF OF THE
COMMISSION . THE PLANNING
COMMISSION RECOMMENDS RAPID
PASSAGE OF THE INTERIM
LEGISLATION SO THAT CITY COUNCIL
CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH PERMANENT
LEGISLATION FOR MIDDLE HOUSING,
THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND
UPDATES TO THE CENTERS AND
QUARTERS. THE COMMISSION ALSO
RECOMMENDS THE COUNCIL ADJUST
THE INTERIM LEGISLATION WITH THE
PROPOSED PERMANENT LEGISLATION.
RATHER THAN ALLOWING FOUR OR SIX
UNITS PER LOT REGARDLESS OF SIZE
IT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TO ALLOW A
DENSITY ONE UNIT FOR 1250 SQUARE
FEET. THIS WILL MAKE ZONING PER
MIDDLE HOUSING MORE EFFICIENT
AND BETTER ALIGNED WITH THE
PROPOSED PERMANENT LEGISLATION.
THE TIMELY IMPLEMENTATION OF
LEGISLATION WILL HELP REDUCE
CONFUSION AND DELAYS FOR THOSE
WHO WISH TO BUILD HOUSING IN AN
ALREADY CHALLENGING MARKET. WE
LOOK FORWARD TO SPEAKING WITH
YOU SOON ABOUT PERMANENT
LEGISLATION.
>> NEXT WE HAVE JOANNA .
>> HI. THANK YOU. I LIVE IN THE
CENTRAL DISTRICT. I'M ASKING TO
PLEASE PASS THE SETBACK
AMENDMENT. THE CURRENT INTERIM
CODE REDUCES SETBACKS WITHOUT
ADDING SPACE OR RETAINING TREES
AND WE SHOULD NOT BE PAVING OVER
OUR URBAN FOREST WITH NO PLAN OF
SUSTAINING AND BUILDING
ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN AIR
RESILIENCE. COUNCILMEMBERS WHO
SPEAK MAINLY FOR PLANTING NEW
TREES WITHOUT EXPRESSING THE
VALUE OF EXISTING TREES HAVE GOT
IT WRONG. WE WANT HOUSING AND
TREES AND PASSING THIS AMENDMENT
WON'T AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO
BUILD DENSE HOUSING .
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ISN'T
ABOUT CREATING MORE HEAT ISLANDS
AND POOR AIR QUALITY FOR
EVERYONE , IT IS ABOUT ENSURING
ALL RESIDENTS LIVE IN AREAS --
>> THANK YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING. THE RESEARCH
DIRECTOR. WE 60,000 AFFORDABLE
HOUSING BY 2045 OR SEATTLE WILL
LOSE THE WORKING-CLASS HOUSES
AND FAMILIES BECOMING THE MOST
EXCLUSIVE CITY IN THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST. THE FIRST AREAS IN
THE CITY SHOULD BE EXEMPTED FROM
THE PROPOSED ZONING TO LET THE
REST OF THE CITY CATCH UP IN THE
DENSITY WE ALREADY HAVE. NEW
RESIDENTIAL ZONING SHOULD ALLOW
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS ANYWHERE
ELSE IN THE CITY, ESPECIALLY
AREAS EXCLUDED BY THOSE IN
SINGLE-FAMILY ZONING. ALLOWING
MAXIMUM AFFORDABLE UNITS ON
LARGE LOTS . THIS INCLUDES
TOWNHOMES IN ALL FORMS OF
AFFORDABLE UNITS, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
>> NEXT WE HAVE MELISSA FOLLOWED
BY MARIA.
>> THANK YOU. I'M SPEAKING ON
BEHALF OF MEMBER COMMUNITIES OF
THE ARCHITECT SEATTLE CHAPTER.
WE UNDERSTAND THE TIME
CONSTRAINT AND SUPPORT SWIFT
PASSAGE OF LEGISLATION THIS
TARGETED IMPROVEMENT IN THE
FUTURE. THIS ADDITIONAL
LEGISLATION COULD INCLUDE YOUR
FREQUENT TRANSIT WITHOUT LOT
SIZE MINIMUM. WE WOULD LIKE TO
SEE INCREASED FOR THE FLOOR AREA
RATIO TO 1.6 FA ARE FOR FOUR
UNITS TO TRULY UNLOCK HOUSING.
ELIMINATE PARKING REQUIREMENTS
NEAR ALL FREQUENT TRANSIT .
THESE CREATE FLEXIBLE ,
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BONUSES FOR
ACCESSIBLE BONUS PROGRAMS BUT
NOT PRIVATE DEVELOPERS. AND
RETAIN AND EXPAND FROM CENTERS
TO PROMOTE WALKABLE SERVICES TO
THE COMMUNITIES, THANK YOU.
>> FOR THE RECORD ONCE YOU HEAR
A RING YOU STILL HAVE 10 SECONDS
SO CONTINUE TO HAVE 10 SECONDS.
THAT IS A TIMER.
>> GOOD MORNING. YOU'RE ALSO
PART OF THE SUSTAINABILITY
COMMITTEE. MY NAME IS MARIA AND
I CHAIR THIS COUNCIL. WE THANK
YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK. WE HAVE
SENT IN OUR WRITTEN COMMENTS. AS
A TREE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH 70%
PEOPLE OF COLOR AND 40% REFUGEES
WE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR EQUITY
SAKE YOU RECLAIM THE REGRESSIVE
TREE PRESERVATION LANGUAGE IN
THE INTERIM COMP PLAN WITH
EITHER THE CURRENT CODE OR
WASHINGTON STATE CODE. WE THANK
YOU FOR LISTENING TO US AND LOOK
FORWARD TO A POSITIVE RESPONSE.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT.
>> HI. I SUPPORT AN INCREASE IN
AFFORDABLE AND MIDDLE HOUSING
HOWEVER THE ORDINANCE GOES WELL
BEYOND THE REQUIREMENTS OF HB
1110. I AGREE WITH THE AMENDMENT
PLACING THE SETBACK HOWEVER THIS
SHOULD APPLY TO ALL NEIGHBORHOOD
RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND NOT JUST
AFFLUENT NEIGHBORHOODS. 20 FOOT
SETBACKS ARE CRITICAL IN AREAS
LIKE MAPLE LEAVES TO NARROW AND
SOMETIMES NONEXISTENT TO SUPPORT
WILL MITIGATE CANOPY LOSS FROM
DEVELOPMENT. IT WILL ALLOW SPACE
FOR TREES TO PROVIDE VALUE . AS
MUCH OF THAT ZONING CHANGES THE
ORDINANCE PRIORITIZES DEVELOPERS
AND NOT CONSTITUENTS. I URGE YOU
TO AMEND THE ORDINANCE TO MEET
THE NEEDS OF HB 1110 AND CONDUCT
A MORE THOROUGH ANALYSIS. THANK
YOU.
>> FOR THE RECORD I WANT
EVERYONE TO KNOW WE DID COMPLETE
THE BACKLOG OF PEOPLE THAT
SIGNED UP ONLINE WHO ARE PRESENT
FROM FEBRUARY 5th AND NOW WE ARE
MOVING ONTO PEOPLE THAT HAVE
SIGNED UP CURRENTLY. IF YOU JUST
-- WE WANTED TO SAY THAT FOR THE
RECORD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. NEXT
.
>> GOOD MORNING. HELLO. I URGE
YOU TO QUICKLY PASS THIS INTERIM
PLAN AND MOVE FORWARD TO PASS
THE PLAN WILL LET MORE PEOPLE
CALL SEATTLE HOME. THE BIGGEST
TO SEATTLE'S TREE CANOPY IS THE
CONSTRUCTION OF SINGLE-FAMILY
HOMES. MIDDLE HOUSING IS
CONDUCIVE TO OUR CLIMATE AND
HOUSING GOALS. FOLLOW THE
RESEARCH TO BE VIABLE, WE HAVE
ROOM FOR OPEN SPACE FOR
ACCOMMODATING TREES. EVEN LESS
IF WE ARE BEING AMBITIOUS. A
HEIGHT BONUS FURTHER
ECONOMICALLY VIABLE AND WE NEED
TO ALLOW SAC FLATS ON SMALLER
LOTS SO THEY CAN BE BUILT IN
MORE NEIGHBORHOODS AND LOWER
COST TO MAKE IT MORE AFFORDABLE.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT IS EVAN CRAI
>> GOOD MORNING. I AM IN NORTH
SEATTLE HOMEOWNER LOCATED IN AN
RSL ZONE. IT HAS PREVENTED ME
AND MY FAMILY FROM BUILDING OUR
NEW HOME FOR THE PAST THREE
YEARS EVEN AFTER APPROVAL OF A
PAID COACHING SESSION. AN
OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS AN
AMENDMENT TO COUNCIL THE 120969
WHICH UPDATES THE MUNICIPAL CODE
TO INCLUDE RSL ZONE CONSTRAINT
CATEGORY AS A NEIGHBORHOOD
RESIDENTIAL ZONE. THE UPDATE
ALLOWS UNITS TO BE BUILT WITHIN
A QUARTER-MILE OF EACH TRANSIT
STOP . IT DOES NOT ADDRESS
SECTION 2344 WHICH LIMITS THE
DWELLING AREA AND RSL ZONES
DESIGNED AND ACCUMULATIVE
CALCULATION FOR 344 SQUARE FEET
PER DWELLING . PLEASE CONSIDER
AMENDING SECTION TO ALIGN WITH
THE CITY INCREASING DENSITY WITH
FAMILY HOUSING UNITS. THIS CAN
BE ACCOMPLISHED BY REMOVING THE
CUMULATIVE DEFINITION FOR
INCREASING THE 2200 LIMIT. THANK
YOU.
>> NEXT WE HAVE CRAIG FOLLOWED
BY NANCY AND IT IS 10:00 A.M. SO
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED FOR
PUBLIC COMMENT FOR ONLINE FOR

SUPPORTING COMMENTS ABOUT
THOUGHTFUL DENSITY AS WELL AS
THE ENTIRE COUNCIL FOR ALL THEIR
WORK. I'M SHARING MY CONCERNS
ALONG WITH A DOZEN OTHER SEATTLE
NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE COME TOGETHER
REGARDING THE PROPOSED CHANGES.
THE CITY'S PROPOSED INTERIM
LEGISLATION WHICH IS NOT
REQUIRED BY STATE LAW GOES
BEYOND AND THIS IMPACT IS
ALARMING. IT WAS A SETBACK FOR
THE WHOLE CITY WHICH IS
SIGNIFICANT . IT INCREASES LOT
COVERAGE AND MORE EXISTING TREE
REMOVAL. THIRDLY, IT RAISES THE
BUILDING PRICE AND REDUCES SUN
EXPOSURE. TO APPLY LOGIC AND
IMPLEMENT HB 1110 WITH NO
CHANGES TO SETBACK COVERAGE OR
BUILDING HEIGHT.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE CRAIG
WALKER. PRESS STAR SIX TWO
UNMUTE YOURSELF .

I'M STILL HERE. I CARE DEEPLY
ABOUT THE CITY AND BOTH THE
NEIGHBORS I GREW UP WITH AND THE
PEOPLE COMING HERE HOPING TO
BUILD A LIFE. SEATTLE IS
BECOMING A PLACE FEWER AND FEWER
PEOPLE CAN AFFORD. THAT'S WHY I
URGE YOU TO PASS THE INTERIM
ZONING ORDINANCE NOW TO ALLOW A
MORE DIVERSE RANGE OF MIDDLE
HOUSING OPTIONS IN OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD. AFTER THAT, PLEASE
ADOPT THE FULL ONE SEATTLE PLAN.
WE NEED MORE THAN THE BARE
MINIMUM IF WE ARE SERIOUS ABOUT
SOLVING THE CRISIS. WE CAN GROW
IN A WAY THAT KEEPS OUR
COMMUNITY VIBRANT AND MAKES ROOM
FOR EVERYONE. LET'S MAKE IT
HAPPEN NOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR

SEATTLE'S URBAN FOREST. I URGE
YOU ONLY DO MINIMAL CHANGES AS
REQUIRED ON HOUSE BILL 1110 .
LOOK AT OTHER CHANGES TO BE
CONSIDERED IN THE FINAL COMP
PLAN. WE SUPPORT MAXIMIZING
HOUSING AT THE SAME TIME. KEEP
THE CURRENT SET BACKS OF 20 FEET
IN FRONT AND 20 FEET AND BACK TO
ALLOW MORE SPACE TO PLANT TREES.
IT WILL ASK FOR IF IT WOULD SAVE
MORE HEALTHY TREES . REMOVE THE
BASIC TREE PROTECTION AREA

CB 120969 INTERIM LEGISLATION.
THE CITY'S PROPOSED INTERIM
LEGISLATION GOES BEYOND THE
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF HB 1110
AND WAS WRITTEN TO GIVE
DEVELOPERS MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR CONSTITUENTS?
THE INTERIM LEGISLATION LOSES
I.T. FEET, CUT IN HALF ALONG THE
STREET AND INCREASES OVERALL LOT
COVERAGE. WE ALL WANT TREES AND
THOUGHTFUL DENSITY THAT PRODUCES
AFFORDABLE HOUSING TYPES AND
ENCOURAGES COMMUNITY BUT THE
INTERIM LEGISLATION FAILS ON ALL
COUNTS. PLEASE PRESERVE EXISTING

ARCHITECT THAT'S BEEN WORKING
IN SEATTLE FOR OVER 20 YEARS .
I'M HERE TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT
FOR QUICKLY ADOPTING INTERIM
ORDINANCE WITHOUT DELAY WITH A
STEP FOR ADDRESSING THE
AFFORDABLE BUILDING CRISIS. IN
MY PROFESSIONAL WORK I'VE SEEN
HOW RISING COST MAKES IT HARDER
TO DELIVER PROJECTS THAT ARE
TRULY AFFORDABLE THE
CONSTRUCTION COST HAS GONE UP
SIGNIFICANTLY. ONE OF THE BIGGER
BARRIERS IS ACCESS TO LAND. THIS
GIVES FLEXIBILITY TO CREATE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOMES WHERE
WE HAVE LONG BEEN RESTRICTED.
THESE AREN'T RADICAL IDEAS.
WE'VE HAD HOUSING FOR A LONG
TIME THAT CAN HELP CREATE
AFFORDABLE CHOICES FOR PEOPLE IN
DIFFERENT STAGES OF THEIR LIFE.
WE ARE READY TO HELP MAKE THAT
GROWTH WORK WELL WITH GOOD
DESIGN AND LOCAL SPACES THAT CAN
ADDRESS HOUSING DENSITY AND
NATURAL LANDSCAPE OF OUR CITY
BUT WE NEED THESE POLICIES.

PASSING INTERIM HOUSING
ORDINANCE. PASS THE FULL ONE
SEATTLE PLAN FOR THE SUMMER
RECESS PRIORITIZING AND LASTLY

GREENERY? WILL YOUR LEGACY BE
STREETS SOFT AND BY THE PRESENCE

KING COUNTY AND I AM PROUD.
THERE WAS A HOUSING EMERGENCY,
PEOPLE ARE BEING PRICED OUT NOT
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LIVE
HERE BUT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
AFFORD TO. WE ARE NOT BUILDING
ENOUGH HOMES. IF WE WANT TO
PRESERVE A LIVABLE EQUITABLE AND
THRIVING SEATTLE WE MUST ACT
NOW. THAT MEANS REMOVING
BARRIERS , UPDATING OUTDATED
ZONING AND MAKING BUILD MORE
HOUSING ESPECIALLY IN TRANSIT.
THIS CRISIS WILL NOT SOLVE
ITSELF. IT'S TIME FOR
LEADERSHIP NOW AND PASS THE
ORDINANCE WITHOUT DELAY TO ALLOW
A DIVERSE RANGE OF MIDDLE
HOUSING TYPES IN RESIDENTIAL
NEIGHBORHOODS THAN ADOPT THE
FULL ONE SEATTLE PLAN BUDGET. IT
IS ONLY THE FIRST STEP. WE NEED

OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU. I
LIKE TO REITERATE MY REQUEST YOU
ADOPT INTERIM LEGISLATION
SATISFIES THE REQUIREMENTS OF HB
1110 WHICH DOES NOT GO ANY
FARTHER IN ALTERING LAND-USE
REGULATION. AS YOU HEARD FROM
TESTIMONY AND LEARN FROM YOUR
OWN READING LEGISLATION BROUGHT
FORWARD IS SIMPLY A REWRITE OF
THEIR PROPOSED LEGISLATION AND
FAILS TO ADEQUATELY ADDRESS
ISSUES OF DISPLACEMENT,
AFFORDABILITY, TREE PROTECTION,
ENVIRONMENTALLY CRITICAL AND
THOUGHTFUL SETBACK REGULATIONS.
INTERIM LEGISLATION THAT IS
TRULY INTERIM AND DOES NOT
ACCIDENTALLY GRANDFATHERED IN
AND TENDED DEVELOPMENTS WILL
ALLOW YOU THE TIME AND SPACE TO
DO THIS PROPERLY AND SEND A
STRONG MISSION TO THE EXECUTIVES
THAT THEIR WORK IS NOT YET DONE.
THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO
DO DENSITY RIGHT AND UNDERSTAND
THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION IN
FRONT OF YOU IS NOT A STEP IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOU.
>> NEXT WE HAVE MATT FOLLOWED BY
RICHARD.
>> HI. I'M HERE TO SPEAK TO
NATE ABOUT THE INTERIM ZONING
ORDINANCE. THE STATE PASSED HB
1110 BUT COULD BETTER JOIN THE
FIGHT AGAINST HOUSING
AFFORDABILITY . I KNOW ECONOMICS
. AT THE MOMENT IT IS WHAT WE
HAVE TO WORK WITH BEFORE WE
DECIDE, SO IN MY EXPERIENCE WE
REALLY NEED TO BE DOING THIS --
>> YOU ARE GOOD. WE CAN HEAR
YOU. WE WILL COME BACK. SORRY
ABOUT THAT. WE WILL COME BACK.
WE HAVE TWO RICHARDS.
>> HELLO. THIS IS RICHARD
ELLISON. I'M A DISTRICT OR
HOMEOWNER AND I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO PROTECT TREES AND THE CITY
SINCE THE 1990s IN FRONT OF THE
URBAN FOREST TASK FORCE. THE
INTERIM LEGISLATION PROPOSING
SETBACKS TO ZERO FEET OR 10 FEET
IS AN OUTRAGEOUS GIVEAWAY TO THE
COMMUNITY. WE ARE ALREADY
REMOVING SO MANY OF OUR LARGE
TREES. WE CAN GO TALLER, PROTECT
THE TREES , 60 INCH AND 40 INCH
DIAMETER REDWOODS CAN BE CUT
DOWN BECAUSE DEVELOPERS SAY WE
DON'T HAVE TO, WE DON'T WANT
TO AND WE ARE NOT GOING TO BUT
THE CITY COUNCIL DOES NOT STAND
UP AND PROTECT THESE TREES THEY
ARE GOING TO BE LOST FOREVER. IF
YOU BUILD 10 FOOT SETBACKS AND
FIVE FOOT SETBACKS THERE WILL BE
FOREVER FOR THE REST OF THE
CITY. I URGE THE CITY COUNCIL TO
DO ALL THEY CAN TO PROTECT TREES
.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE
RICHARD NEWMAN FOLLOWED BY JERRY
STANTON. PRESS STAR SIX . STAR
62 . WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU.
NEXT WE HAVE JERRY STANTON.
RICHARD NEWMAN WE WILL COME BACK
TO YOU.
>> AT THE MARCH 20th MEETING
PRESIDENT NELSON ASKED A
QUESTION HOW IS FREQUENT TRANSIT
DEFINED? SIGNIFICANTLY 27 TIMES
IT IS FAQ. IT WAS CORRECTLY
ANSWERED [ INAUDIBLE ] HOWEVER I
RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT A CORRECT
ANSWER TO THE LONG QUESTION.
WHITE IS FREQUENT TRANSIT NOT
INCLUDED IN THE DEFINITION OF
MAJOR TRANSIT STOPS? TO ALLOW
HOUSING UNITS WITHIN A
QUARTER-MILE INTO AN PARKING A
HALF-MILE OF MAJOR TRANSIT
STOPS? THEY REALIZED THEIR
RESOURCES CONTACTED THE
DEPARTMENT WHO ALLOW THEM TO
MODIFY THE DEFINITION OF
ORDINANCES. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
THE COUNCIL CONSIDER INCLUDING
FREQUENT TRANSIT AREAS --
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE
RICHARD NEWMAN. PRESS STAR SIX
TO UNMUTE YOURSELF. STAR SIX. IS
MATT BACK ONLINE? WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR FULL
COMMENT PERIOD . RICHARD , STAR
SIX? WE SEE YOU ONLINE. ONCE YOU
GET THAT WE WILL GET YOU GOING.
WE ARE GOING TO WANT TO GARRETT
NELSON FOLLOWED BY ALLISON BRADY
WOOD. GO AHEAD AND PRESS STAR
SIX.
>> MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE,
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
COMMENT. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF
SEATTLE KING COUNTY REALTORS AND
I'M HERE TO REPRESENT OVER 6000
FILTER MEMBERS AND THEIR CLIENTS
ACROSS THE COUNTY. MANY OF WHOM
LIVE AND WORK IN SEATTLE.
SEATTLE IS IN A HOUSING CRISIS.
PEOPLE ARE LOCKED OUT OF HOUSING
BECAUSE LACK OF SUPPLY HAS MADE
IT UNAFFORDABLE. WE MUST ENABLE
MORE HOUSES TO BE BUILT. WE URGE
YOU TO PASS THE INTERIM
ORDINANCE WITHOUT DELAY TO ALLOW
A DIVERSE RANGE OF MIDDLE
HOUSING TYPES AND RESIDENTIAL
NEIGHBORHOODS, THEN ADOPT THE
SEATTLE PLAN BEFORE BUDGET. THE
INTERIM ORDINANCE IS ONLY THE
FIRST STEP WE NEED A BOLD AND
COVERTS A PLAN THAT ENABLES MORE
HOMES TO BE BUILT. IT WILL TAKE
MORE THAN THE STATEMENT TO SOLVE
THE HOUSING SUPPLY CRISIS. WE
COULD ADD HOUSING IN A MANNER
THAT MAKES OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND
CITIES MORE VIBRANT AND
AFFORDABLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
GOOD WORK.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE
ALLISON BRADY WOOD FOLLOWED BY
JESSICA DIXON. PRESS STAR SIX.
YES . GOOD MORNING.
>> FOR THE RECORD I'M DR.
ALLISON BRADY WOULD. I'M
TESTIFYING TODAY IN OPPOSITION
TO THE INTERIM LEGISLATION
REQUESTING THE COUNCIL INSTEAD
KEEP THE MANDATE FOR MIDDLE
HOUSING COMPATIBILITY WITH
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES. AS A NURSE
I HAVE TREMENDOUS APPRECIATION
FOR THE LEGISLATURE AND CITY
COUNCIL FOCUS ON SUPPORTING
EQUITY IN HOUSING AND ACCESS TO
TRANSPORTATION. WE NEED TO
INCREASE DENSITY PARTICULARLY
THOSE WITH TRANSPORTATION
ACCESS. THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE
VASTLY EXCEEDS RECOMMENDATION
INCLUDED IN HOUSE BILL 1110
RELATED TO LOT COVERAGE,
SETBACKS IN BUILDING COVERAGE.
THIS OUTLINES THE CONFERENCE A
PLAN MUST INCLUDE A HOUSING
ELEMENT THAT INJURES THE
VITALITY AND CHARACTER OF OUR
ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL
NEIGHBORHOODS. I ASKED THE
COUNTY TO PRESERVE OUR CHARACTER
BY ADDING AN CITY WITHOUT
REDUCING SETBACKS OR INCREASING
BUILDING HEIGHT. THIS FORWARD
BUILDING DEVELOPER INTEREST
LEADS TO UNAFFORDABLE HOUSING.
>> THANK YOU. WE HAVE JESSICA
DIXON -- HOLD ON. MATT , LET'S
GO BACK TO YOU. SORRY YOU GOT
CUT OFF.
>> THAT'S MY FAULT, I
APOLOGIZE. I WAS ON A WALK AND I
DROPPED MY PHONE. I WANT TO SAY
I SUPPORT THE INTERIM ZONING
ORDINANCE. THE STATE PASSED THE
BILL SO WE COULD BETTER JOIN THE
FIGHT AGAINST HOUSING
AFFORDABILITY AND SEATTLE REALLY
NEEDS TO LEAD THE WAY. THE FACT
OTHER CITIES IN THIS STATE ARE
DOING MORE EXPANSIVE ZONING THAN
WE HAVE NOW IS PRETTY
EMBARRASSING. I KNOW ECONOMICS
ISN'T THE BEST, BUT KIND OF
WHAT WE HAVE TO WORK WITH. I'VE
BENEFITED FROM SUCH POLICIES .
DURING MY TIME IN MINNEAPOLIS
THERE WAS A BUNCH OF NEW HOUSING
GOING UP AND I WAS PAYING $800
FOR A STUDIO . THAT WOULD BE A
DREAM HERE . SOME PEOPLE REALLY
NEED THAT TO HAPPEN. I WOULD
ENCOURAGE THE CITY TO UPLOAD AS
MUCH AS POSSIBLE . THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU AND ENJOY YOUR
WALK. JESSICA DIXON.
>> HELLO CAN YOU HEAR ME? GOOD
MORNING. MY NAME IS JESSICA
DIXON. WITHOUT THE FOLLOWING
AMENDMENTS THE SEATTLE PLAN AND
CURRENT TREE ORDINANCE CITYWIDE
. TO KEEP THE CURRENT SETBACKS
AMENDED IN FRONT AND REAR
INSTEAD OF 10 FEET IN FRONT AND
10 FEET IN BACK 40 FEET IN AN
ALLEYWAY. THESE WILL NOT ALLOW
TO RETAIN OR PLAN TO BOTH TREES.
AMEND THE ORDINANCE TO REMOVE
THE PROVISION THE AREA CANNOT BE
MODIFIED FOR ITS DEVELOPMENT.
THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS SAY
IT CAN BE MODIFIED. FOR THE
BULL'S-EYE AND ALL THE
REMAINING TREES AND
RESIDENTIALLY ZONED AREAS OF THE
CITY TO ALLOW THE SEATTLE
DEPARTMENT TO ASK DEVELOPERS FOR
ALTERNATIVES AND CREATE
DESIGNATED TREEPLANTING.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE KEVIN
FOLLOWED BY CONNOR.
>> GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY. I WANT THE
COUNCIL TO ADOPT FOR INCREASING
HOUSING AND ENCOURAGE
IMMEDIATELY AND FOR THE COUNCIL
TO LOOK INTO [ INAUDIBLE ] IN
TERMS OF THE SETBACK I THINK [
INAUDIBLE ]
>> THANK YOU. RICHARD, I STILL
SEE YOU. ARE YOU ABLE TO PRESS
STAR SIX? NO WORRIES IF NOT WE
WILL KEEP YOU POSTED RIGHT THERE
AND COME BACK TO YOU. STAR SIX
TO UNMUTE YOURSELF.
>> NEXT WE HAVE CONNOR FOLLOWED
BY JACOB. HI. WELCOME.
>> IN MORNING. I'M A RENTER
LIVING IN FREMONT AND I'M
ASKING YOU TO PASS THE ORDINANCE
WITHOUT DELAY. THIS HAS THE BARE
MINIMUM TO COMPLY AND WE CAN'T
AFFORD TO WAIT ANY LONGER. QUICK
PASSAGE OF THE ORDINANCE WILL
ALLOW COUNCIL TO FOCUS ON
ADOPTING A BOLDER VERSION OF THE
FULL ONE SEATTLE PLAN BEFORE
SUMMER RECESS. COUNCIL MUST MOVE
SWIFTLY AND DECISIVELY TO ADOPT
DIVISION THAT ALLOWS MORE HOMES
IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS
REQUIRES MUCH MORE THAN THE BARE
MINIMUM. WE NEED TO ALLOW
MULTIFAMILY HOUSING OFF OF
POLLUTED ARTERIALS , WE NEED TO
BUILD UP, NOT OUT BY ALIGNING
OUR CODE TO PRESERVE TREE CANOPY
AND BUILD FAMILY SIZED CLOSE TO
PARKS AND SCHOOLS. WE NEED SMALL
SETBACKS, SHARED WALLS, GREATER
DENSITY HEIGHT AND BONUSES AND
NO MINIMUM LOT SIZE IN
NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONES.
WE NEED MORE CITY IN THE CITY.
OUR GOVERNMENT IS ENSURING
INSTITUTIONS CLIMATE IS CHANGED
AND NEIGHBORS ARE LIVING ON THE
STREET. OUR CITY NEEDS TO STEP
UP TO MAKE SEATTLE HOME.
>> THANK YOU. THIS IS A CALL FOR
BRUCE HALL , YOU'RE NOT PRESENT
BUT YOU ARE NEXT. GO AHEAD AND
PRESS STAR SIX.
>> OKAY. GOOD MORNING. MY NAME
IS JACOB, I'M A RENTER IN
SEATTLE. I'M SPEAKING IN FAVOR
OF THE SETBACK AMENDMENT FOR THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS A LOW
INCOME RENTER I BELIEVE THE
VALUE AND URGENCY THAT SAID I
ALSO RECOGNIZE INTERIM BILL AS
IS WHERE WE WILL BE ABLE TO PUT
THE GENIE BACK IN THE LAMP. THEY
MAKE INSUFFICIENT ALLOTMENTS. AS
SOMEONE WHO LIVED IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA I CAN TELL YOU L.A.
COUNTY IS MUCH COOLER THAN THE
DESERT AND RIVERSIDE COUNTY.
DOWNTOWN L.A. WAS JUST AS HOT.
THIS FAR NORTH ARE SUMMERS CAN
GET MANY HOURS OF SUN
EXASPERATING THE ISSUES OF HEAT
ISLANDS. AS WE GO TO WORK IN THE
ALMOST ANYWHERE AROUND TOWN AND
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO
PUT THE GENIE BACK IN THE LAMP .
THERE WON'T BE AN OPPORTUNITY
LATER. WE HAVE TO GET IT RIGHT
THE FIRST TIME.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE SUSAN
BURNETT FOLLOWED BY RUTH HOOPER.
SUSAN.
>> YES. I'M A RETIRED SEATTLE
SECONDARY TEACHER. I WANTED TO
SAY WE DESPERATELY NEED HOUSING
BUT FOR MODERATE INCOME FOLKS
BUT TO ALLOW 95% OF A LOT TO BE
COVERED BY BUILDINGS AND
PAVEMENT IS AN OBSCENE EDDIE. WE
NEED VERTICAL FLATS WITH GREEN
SPACE AROUND THEM, LITTLE TREES
PRINTED ON PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
LAND AND THEY ARE A NOD TO THE
FUTURE. THAT IS GREAT BUT IT
TAKES DECADES FOR TREES TO GROW
AND THAT IS IF THEY ARE
MAINTAINED. WE NEED TO PRESERVE
OUR MATURE TREES. HOMEOWNERS
SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
MAINTAINING THEIR TREES. WE LIVE
WITH TREES BECAUSE WE DO NOT
WANT TO BE SURROUNDED BY
CONFLICT. LAST FRIDAY, MUCH TO
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SHOCK THE LOG
CABIN CEDAR WAS CUT, THE TREE
WAS 8200 YEARS OLD FROM THE
BOUNDARY AND IT WAS BEING
ASSESSED. IN MY OPINION THIS WAS
A RUSH TO JUDGMENT AND SHOULD BE
REMOVED FROM THAT DEPARTMENT.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE RUTH
HOOPER AND THEN WE WILL COME
BACK TO RICHARD.
>> GOOD MORNING. I AM A
HOMEOWNER . I URGE COUNCIL TO
PASS THE SETBACK AMENDMENT. WE
CAN HAVE BOTH HOUSING AND TREES
. CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL, IT'S
HAPPENING FAST AND FASTER AND
TREES MAKE A DRAMATIC DIFFERENCE
IN THE ABILITY OF THE RESIDENTS
OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO SURVIVE A
HEAT WAVE OR FLOOD. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. RICHARD , STAR
SIX. ARE YOU ABLE TO DO THAT? WE
WILL PAUSE AND KEEP GOING AND
TRY TO GET YOU ON. ALL RIGHT.
NEXT WE HAVE ROBERT MORGAN
FOLLOWED BY ROBIN BRIGGS. WE
DON'T SEE ROBERT MORGAN. ROBERT
BRIGGS. STAR SIX. YES . LOUD AND
CLEAR.
>> THANK YOU. I NAME IS ROBIN
BRIGGS. [ INAUDIBLE ] IF MORE
PEOPLE COULD LIVE IN THE CITY
THAT IS A GOOD THING
SPECIFICALLY IN PARTS OF THE
CITY. THERE WILL BE MORE PEOPLE
FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES AND MORE
PEOPLE TO WORK MANY JOBS . THE
REDUCED DRIVING TIME WILL HELP
REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.
WE NEED MORE BECAUSE WE ADDED
MORE AND MORE ENDING UP IN AN
INCREASINGLY DESPERATE BATTLE [
INAUDIBLE ] WE CAN ONLY CHOOSE
WHETHER TO GREET MORE NEIGHBORS
OR LIVE IN AN EXCLUSIVE ENCLAVE.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE
INGRID FOLLOWED BY THOMAS
ROBINSON . INGRID, GO AHEAD AND
PRESS STAR SIX.
>> I'M INGRID. COLLECTIVELY WE
THE CITIZENS OF SEATTLE
UNDERSTAND WHAT AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IS NEEDED BUT IT IS
PAINFUL HOW THE MAYOR'S
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO ADDRESS
HOUSING SUPPLY AND AFFORDABILITY
HAS BEEN DRIVEN BY DEVELOPER
INTEREST. DO NOT PASS THE
INTERIM LEGISLATION , KEEP HB
1110 MANDATES FOR MIDDLE HOUSING
COMPATIBLE WITH SINGLE-FAMILY
HOUSING. THE CITY ORDINANCE YOU
ARE VOTING ON CHANGES THESE
STANDARDS AND EXCEEDS WHAT IS
REQUIRED BY STATE LAW. THE
SETBACK HAS BEEN TO SEATTLE'S
NEIGHBORHOOD FOR OVER . IT IS
THE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE CITY
. COOL AIR, SHADE, PROTECTION
AGAINST THE DANGER OF
INCREASINGLY HIGH TEMPERATURES
DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. IT WILL
BE MORE IMPORTANT IN THE FUTURE
SINCE NO MORE PARKS ARE ADDED.
HB 1110 DOES NOT REQUIRE THE
CITY TO CHANGE --
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE
THOMAS FOLLOWED BY JUDITH . I
DON'T SEE YOU ONLINE, WE WILL
COME BACK. JUDITH FOLLOWED BY
WILLIAM.
>> HELLO. HI. I HAVE WRITTEN YOU
A LETTER , IT HAS SIX PARTS TO
IT WHICH I CAN'T COVER TODAY.
PLEASE ADOPT KATHY MOORE'S
AMENDMENTS. PLEASE DO SOME
LEGISLATION ON THE TREE
ORDINANCE TO PROTECT OUR TREES
AND I SET THOSE OUT IN THE
LETTER. AS THE FULL DEFINITION
OF MIDDLE HOUSING THAT CONTAINS
THE WORDS COMPATIBILITY FOR
EXAMPLE AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN
INCLUDED AND NEEDS TO BE
INCLUDED. IT IS MANDATORY IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE EXAMPLE.
ADOPT ONLY LEGISLATION REQUIRED
TO ENACT HB 1110 AND FOR
EVERYTHING ELSE. THIS IS A
COMPLETE OVERREACH. ALSO ADOPT
HER OWN AMENDMENT. COUNCILMEMBER
HOLLINGSWORTH.
>> YOU STILL HAVE 10 SECONDS.
>> OKAY. THE ISSUE OF
DISPLACEMENT , THOSE AREAS IN
THE CITY YOU WILL BE GETTING TO
THAT REALLY SHOULD NOT BE OF
SOUND AT ALL. THIS IS --
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE
WILLIAM WALDMAN FOLLOWED BY . GO
AHEAD AND PRESS STAR SIX.
>> TWO COMMENTS. WE ALL KNOW OF
CITIES AND PARTS OF CITIES THAT
HAVE DENSITY AND TREES SO WE
KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE. SECONDLY
THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE
DEVELOPERS LIVE IN NEIGHBORHOODS
WITH TREES. WHY SHOULDN'T THE
REST OF US? PLEASE DO THE RIGHT
THING . THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE
LARISSA . FOLLOWED BY WHITNEY.
>> THANK YOU. THIS IS LARISSA.
LONGTIME WEST SEATTLE RESIDENT.
I WAS ALARMED TO LEARN RECENTLY
SEATTLE IS IN THE TOP FIVE
NATIONALLY FOR URBAN HEAT
ISLANDS. THAT'S NOT A GOOD
STATISTIC. ALSO ABOUT 1000 TREES
HAVE BEEN REMOVED SO FAR THIS
YEAR. I THINK THAT'S
UNACCEPTABLE. I MOVED HERE
BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE REGION IN
SEATTLE CARED ABOUT THE HEALTH
OF OUR PLANET. AS OTHERS HAVE
POINTED OUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING
ENTRIES ARE BOTH ACHIEVABLE.
PLEASE PASS THE SETBACK
AMENDMENT TO ADD MORE SPACE FOR
TREES. IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO
DO.
>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR ACRONYM AS
WELL. WHITNEY FOLLOWED BY IRENE.
GO AHEAD AND PRESS STAR SIX ,
WHITNEY. YOU MIGHT BE ON MUTE AS
WELL. WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU.
IRENE, STAR SIX.
>> MY NAME IS IRENE, A RESIDENT
OF DISTRICT SIX AND A LIFELONG
SEATTLE RESIDENT. AS DRAFTED
COUNCIL BILL 120969 GOES WELL
BEYOND WHAT IS REQUIRED OF
JURISDICTIONS UNDER HOUSE BILL
1110. ALLOWING ADDITIONAL
DENSITY IS NOT THE SAME AS
REQUIRING OR BENDING OVER
BACKWARDS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN ON
EVERY LOT REGARDLESS OF SIZE OR
LOCATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS. AT
LEAST MAINTAIN THE EXISTING
SETBACKS IN OUR ZONED AREAS.
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE
MATURE TREES AND PROVIDE
ADEQUATE SPACE FOR NEW TREES ON
A REDEVELOPED LOT . IF WE WANT
TO INCENTIVIZE THE CONSTRUCTION
CALLED THE SO-CALLED MIDDLE
HOUSING THEN GO BACK IN TIME TO
WIND WE ACTUALLY ZONED FOR THESE
TYPES. THERE IS NO NEED FOR
SEATTLE TO ON DENSITY SINCE AGE
BILL 1110 WAS INTENDED TO SPUR
OTHER CITIES IN KING COUNTY WHO
ARE NOT MEETING THEIR
OBLIGATIONS TO PROVIDE HOUSING.
SEATTLE DOES NOT NEED --
>> THANK YOU. WE HAVE RUBY BUT
LET'S GO WHITNEY . I DON'T
KNOW IF YOU CAN PRESS STAR SIX
TO UNMUTE YOURSELF? WE WILL MOVE
ON TO MISS HOLLAND. GO AHEAD AND
PRESS STAR SIX.
>> THIS IS RUBY. THE RECENTLY
PASSED BILL WOULD HELP
WORKING-CLASS HOMEOWNERS OBTAIN
TO FULLY EMBRACE HB 1110 AND
HELP HER CREATE 80 YOU.
HOMEOWNERS BEWARE ALLOWING
MASSIVE BUILDERS TO CREATE
MILLION-DOLLAR IN YOUR BACKYARD
SO CHOOSE WISELY WHO YOU STILL
HAVE ON YOUR LAND. THE MAYOR
USES OF ZONING TO STEAL LOTS
FROM WORKING-CLASS HOMEOWNERS IN
SEATTLE TO GIVE TO THE RICH
OLIGARCHS . ABSENT OF
DISPLACEMENT PLAN HE WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE THE PRACTICE FOR THE
COMP PLAN. THEREFORE I'M
BEGGING YOU TO RELEASE AND
SUSPEND ALL FURTHER UP ZONING
AND ELLA US TO WORK WITH HB 1110
LIKE EVERY OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD IN
WASHINGTON STATE.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE
JUDITH WALDMAN. FOLLOWED BY .
PRESS STAR SIX. WE SEE YOU
ONLINE. GO AHEAD AND PRESS STAR
SIX. WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU.
GO AHEAD AND PRESS STAR SIX TO
UNMUTE YOURSELF. NOT PRESENT. WE
ARE GOING TO KEEP GOING ALONG
AND WE WILL COME BACK TO THOSE
WHO MIGHT HAVE ISSUES WITH
PRESSING STAR SIX TO SEE IF WE
CAN GET YOU OFF MUTE. I
APOLOGIZE FOR MESSING UP YOUR
LAST NAME. HI.
>> HELLO. I WANTED TO SAY IT IS
PITIFUL DOCUMENTS CREATED ON
THIS TOPIC HAVE BEEN LACKING A
REVISION 84 VERSION NUMBER. IS
YOUR RECOMMENDATION WE GO TO
OLYMPIA TO GET THAT FIXED?
DISENFRANCHISING US BYPASSING
OUR AGENDA THERE. THIS KIND OF
OVERREACHING TO LOCAL POLICY IS
DRIVING PEOPLE TO DEFUNDING
GOVERNMENT AND THE IMPACT OF
THAT HAS BEEN MASSIVE ESPECIALLY
FOR THE MOST VULNERABLE. YOU ARE
NOW OPPOSED TO THEM PASSING
BILLS FOR THE PRIVATE EQUITY
LOBBIES AND IF THEY WANT A JOB
IN LOCAL POLITICS THEY KNOW
WHERE TO GO. BETTER
DOCUMENTATION PRACTICES CREATE A
COUNCIL TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER
TO ENGAGE IN A MORE
INTELLIGENTLY. HAVING OPEN FOR
ENGAGEMENT DOESN'T WORK AS THEY
HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND
WITHHOLD SCIENTIFIC PROOF AND
POLICIES OF THE EQUITY LOBBY ARE
NEITHER SCIENTIFICALLY SOUND OR
COMPASSIONATE. THANK YOU.
>> JUDITH OR WHITNEY IF YOU
PRESS STAR SIX WE CAN GET YOU
GOING WITH PUBLIC COMMENT. WE
GOT WHITNEY. HEY. THERE SHE IS.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. SORRY . I
LIVE IN . I JUST WANTED TO SAY I
AM FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF NOT JUST
THE INTERIM ZONING ORDINANCE BUT
THE FULL SEATTLE PLAN. I WANT TO
MAKE SURE I KNOW YOU'RE HEARING
A LOT FROM PEOPLE AND I'M GOING
TO SAY IT'S NOT EVERYBODY WHO
BELIEVES WE SHOULD BRING UP THE
DRAWBRIDGE BEHIND US. A LOT WANT
YOUR NEIGHBORS AND DENSITY IS
THE WAY TO DO IT. IT IS THE MORE
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY WAY OF
DOING HOUSING AND WE LIVE IN A
TERRIFIC NEIGHBORHOOD. IT IS
ONLY RIGHT TO SHARE THAT RATHER
THAN SHUT IT DOWN AND MAKE IT
ONLY FOR RICH PEOPLE. PLEASE
SUPPORT THE FULL SEATTLE PLAN .
THANKS.
>> THANK YOU. JUDITH, WE STILL
SEE YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL GIVE
YOU SOME MORE CHANCES. SON JAY,
YOUR NEXT FOLLOWED BY CHARLOTTE.
HI. PRESS STAR SIX TO UNMUTE
YOURSELF. YOU MIGHT BE MUTED .
WE SEE YOU OFF MUTE BUT YOU
MIGHT HAVE YOUR PHONE ON MUTE.
WE CANNOT HEAR YOU.
>> HI. I'M A STUDENT. WE
CONTINUE TO GROW IN POPULATION
IF WE DON'T PROVIDE ENOUGH FOR
PEOPLE TO LIVE IN SEATTLE YOUR
TRANSIT STOPS WITHOUT REQUIRING
A CAR THE ENDLESS URBAN SPRAWL
WILL INEVITABLY THREATEN . THIS
MEANS MASS CLEARING OF TREES IN
FAVOR OF ROADS AND PARKING TO
ACCOMMODATE THE NEVER ENDING
SPACE. I CALL ON CITY COUNCIL TO
IMMEDIATELY PASS THE LEGISLATION
AND WORK TOWARDS THE FULL
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE STATE
GOVERNMENT PASSED A FEW BILLS
THAT REMOVED PARKING LIMITS AND
DRASTICALLY INCREASING DENSITY
NEAR TRANSIT STOPS WHICH GOES
MUCH FURTHER THAN THE CURRENT
BILL. IT IS THE ONLY WAY
FORWARD. WHY IS OUR CITY BEING
OUT DONE BY THE STATEWIDE
GOVERNMENT?
>> THANK YOU. WHEN YOU HEAR THE
BUZZER YOU STILL HAVE 10
SECONDS. IT IS A LITTLE
REMINDER. CHARLOTTE. GO AHEAD
AND PRESS STAR SIX.
PRESS STAR SIX. CHARLOTTE. GO
AHEAD AND PRESS STAR SIX. WE
CAN'T HEAR YOU YET. I ALSO SEE
JUDITH . IF YOU PRESS STAR SIX
SO WE CAN TRY TO HEAR YOU . IF
NOT WE WILL COME BACK TO BOTH.
ALL RIGHT. WE ARE GOING TO GO
WITH RITA HAYES . PRESS STAR SIX
TO UNMUTE YOURSELF. STAR SIX TO
UNMUTE YOURSELF . WE WILL COME
BACK TO YOU AND COME BACK TO
CHARLOTTE AND JUDITH. NEXT WE
ARE GOING TO GO TO LORI . PRESS
STAR SIX. PRESS STAR SIX. TYPE.
>> OKAY. I AM A LONGTIME
RESIDENT AND I AM PRO-. IT'S
NEAR AN EMPLOYMENT HUB AND
CRITICAL TO ADD MORE HOUSING
HERE. THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALSO HAS
A LOT OF TREE SPACE. THE CURRENT
PLAN DOES NOT. IT OFFERS
OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD TALLER
APARTMENTS AND EVEN NEAR THE
LAKE BUILDING ALONG THESE AREAS
OFFERS OPPORTUNITY TO SOMETHING
SEATTLE GENERALLY DOES NOT WHICH
IS PRIORITIZED ALONG GREEN
SPACES. THIS APPROACH OFFERS A
BETTER ENVIRONMENT FOR NEW
PEOPLE LIVING IN ESPECIALLY FOR
CHILDREN. THE CURRENT PLAN DOES
NOT PRIORITIZE DENSITY . I URGE
YOU TO SLOW YOUR ROLL AND
CONSIDER OTHER OPTIONS. LOOK AT
OTHER PLANS. THANK YOU ALL FOR
YOUR SERVICE.
>> THANK YOU. RITA .
>> HI. CAN YOU HEAR ME? THANK
YOU. MY NAME IS RITA HAYES. I'M
A LIFELONG RESIDENT AND LIVED
HERE SINCE 1984. GROWING UP IN
SEATTLE I KNEW I LIVED IN A CITY
OF GREAT NATIONAL BEAUTY WITH
THE GREAT PARK SYSTEM
OUTSTANDING PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND
LISTING NEIGHBORHOODS. TODAY
I'M ASKING THE CITY COUNCIL TO
NOT GO BEYOND HOUSE BILL 1110
AND AMEND COUNCIL BILL 120969 AS
FOLLOWS. REMOVE THE PROPOSAL TO
ALLOW 50% LOT COVERAGE UNDER
2344 010. REMOVE THE CHANGES
MADE TO HEIGHT LIMITS UNDER 2344
012. REMOVE ALL CHANGES TO
SETBACKS UNDER 2344 014 . I ASK
THE CITY COUNCIL TO ENACT DESIGN
STANDARDS THAT REQUIRE NEW
DEVELOPMENT TO MATCH THE SCALE
AND CHARACTER OF THE EXISTING
NEIGHBORHOODS. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. LORI, CAN YOU HEAR
US?
>> HELLO. I LIVE IN DISTRICT FOR
. WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE
LEGISLATION BE MODIFIED SO IT IS
A HIGH PRIORITY. THE CITY OF
SEATTLE HAS STATED A GOAL OF
INCREASING TREE COVERAGE BY 30%
YET DEVELOPERS ARE REMOVING
TREES . THEY JUSTIFY THE REMOVAL
OF TREES AND BUILDING NEARLY
EDGE TO EDGE BY SUGGESTING THAT
REMOVED TREES WILL BE REPLACED.
ANY ESTABLISHED TREE CANNOT BE
REPLACED ESPECIALLY HERITAGE
TREES , TREES 24 INCHES AND TREE
GROWTH. THESE HAVE BEEN GROWING
AND CONTRIBUTING TO CLEAN AIR ,
HEAT REDUCTION, WILDLIFE HABITAT
AND LIVABILITY . PLEASE RETAIN
THE PREVIOUS SETBACKS AND LOT
COVERAGE. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. JUDITH, ARE YOU
ABLE TO PRESS STAR SIX? I ALSO
SEE ROBERT MORGAN IS PRESENT. HE
WILL BE NEXT . ROBERT MORGAN.
PRESS STAR SIX . ROBERT. WE SURE
CAN.
>> GOOD MORNING. THE ADDITIONS
GO BEYOND WHAT IS REQUIRED. I
WILL FOCUS ON AMENDMENTS WITH
MAJOR TRANSIT STOPS. THE
DEFINITION IS BROADER THAN THE
DEFINITION OF HB 1110 AND HAS
STOPS FUNDED WITHIN THE TRANSIT
PLAN AND ARE TOO SPECULATIVE FOR
THE BASIS OF PERMANENT
DEVELOPMENT . WALKING DISTANCE
SHOULD BE AS MEASURED FACILITIES
THAT NEED TO BE DEFINED [
INAUDIBLE ] THAT NEEDS TO BE
DEFINED AS PART OF THE
DEFINITION. AT LEAST ONE STOP
PROVIDES NO SERVICE TO DOWNTOWN
SEATTLE . PLEASE REQUIRE THERAPY
DOWNTOWN WITHIN 150 FEET. THE
TERM FREQUENT TRANSIT CAN
TRIGGER REDUCED PARKING
REQUIREMENTS THAT SHOULD BE
ELIMINATED. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE
JUDITH. CAN YOU PRESS STAR SIX?
WE WILL KEEP ROLLING. JUDITH.
NEXT WE WILL DO JOSEPH . PRESS
STAR SIX.
>> HI. [ INAUDIBLE ] I'M FROM
DISTRICT ONE. IT IS MADE UP OF
PREDOMINANTLY OF PEOPLE OF COLOR
AND A COMMUNITY OF IMMIGRANTS.
THE CURRENT INTERIM PLAN I THINK
WOULD CAUSE MANY PEOPLE
IRREVERSIBLE LOSS OF TREE CANOPY
AND HIGH IMPACT AREAS ,
ESPECIALLY URBAN AND INDUSTRIAL
AREAS . I URGE THE COUNCIL TO
KEEP THE SETBACK WHO NEEDED THE
MOST . WE MUST ALSO PROTECT OLD
EVERGREEN TREES THAT PROVIDE
PROTECTION. I ALSO RECOGNIZE
THAT DENSITY PROTECTS THE
ENVIRONMENT BY PREVENTING URBAN
SPRAWL. I THINK WE CAN DO BOTH .
PROTECT THE TREES AND INCREASED
DENSITY ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT
ARE THE HOTTEST .
>> THANK YOU. .
>> HI. GOOD MORNING. I'M A NEW
HOMEOWNER BETWEEN STUDENTS IN
CAPITOL HILL. I GOT LUCKY.
CAPITOL HILL'S DENSITY MEANT I
COULD MOVE FROM AN APARTMENT TO
A TOWNHOME WITHOUT LEAVING MY
NEIGHBORHOOD. MOST IN SEATTLE
AREN'T THAT LUCKY. WE HAVEN'T
BUILT ENOUGH HOMES . LACK OF
DENSITY IS A MAJOR REASON WHY.
WE NEED MORE HOUSING EVERYWHERE,
NO EXCEPTIONS. DENSITY SUPPORTS
AFFORDABILITY AND ONE OF THE
BEST THINGS WE CAN DO. SOME HAS
PROPOSED INCREASE SETBACKS IN
THE NAME OF TREE PRESERVATION,
THE RULES UNDERMINES OUR HOUSING
GOALS. THEY SHOULD ONLY BE
CONSIDERED ON A CASE-BY-CASE
BASIS TO PRESERVE LARGE TREES,
NOT AS A BACKDOOR TO OPPOSE
DENSITY MAKING THINGS WORSE.
PASS NOW AND AFTER THAT PASS
VERSION OF THE PLAN WITH GREATER
FA ARE AND REMEMBER EVEN
BELLEVUE HAS GONE FURTHER THAN
WE HAVE. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. WE HAD PEOPLE CALL
INTO THE OFFICE BECAUSE THEY
DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE ON
THE LIST SO I WILL READ THE
REMAINING SPEAKERS SO PEOPLE CAN
BE READY BECAUSE THERE'S A
NUMBER NOT PRESENT TOWARDS THE
END AND MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT THEY
HAD LONGER. I WILL READ THOSE
WHO ARE THE NEXT SPEAKERS. NEXT
WE HAVE ERIC ROSE, WE HAVE DAN
HOUSE . I APOLOGIZE IF I MESS UP
YOUR LAST NAME. PLEASE FORGIVE
ME. DOUGLAS. WE HAVE REBECCA ,
MIA , WE HAVE JOHN , WE HAVE
THOMAS , WE HAVE A LEO , BONNIE
WILLIAMS AND BRAD . THOSE ARE
THE NEXT SPEAKERS LISTED. I'M
ALSO GOING TO GO ON TO PEOPLE
THAT ARE NOT PRESENT THAT DID
SIGN UP . MAYBE YOU WILL COME
BACK TO US. BRUCE HALL. RICHARD
NEWMAN . THOMAS ROBINSON .
>> THANK YOU . IF YOU SIMPLY
TAKE OFF THE RESTRICTIONS THAT
SABOTAGE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
THAT YOUNGER GENERATIONS NEEDING
A BETTER CHOICE IN BUILT EQUITY
WITHOUT ARBITRARY NUMBERS
PURPOSELY LIMITING HOUSING UNITS
TO APPEASE SELLOUT TO ALREADY
GOT THEIR HOMES AND WANT TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE TO FURTHER OPPRESS THE
WORKING CLASS WITH LOW QUALITY
HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS PROVING
THOSE WHO GOT THEIRS ARE
CONSPIRING TO DENY EVERYONE ELSE
THERE NEED FOR A BETTER CHOICE.
I WILL KILL THE REST OF MY TIME.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TRY TO
FINISH THIS LATER. GOODBYE.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE
DOUGLAS. NEXT UP IS ERIC ROSE .
YOU ALL ARE NOT PRESENT BUT WE
WILL GO TO DOUGLAS AND COME BACK
TO YOU. STAR SIX. HI. GO AHEAD
AND PRESS STAR SIX. THANK YOU
FOR BEING HERE. IF NOT WE WILL
GO TO MIA . GO AHEAD AND PRESS
STAR SIX TO UNMUTE YOURSELF.
>> I WORK AT THE RIVER COMMUNITY
COALITION FROM DISTRICT ONE IN
GEORGETOWN. IT'S MADE UP
PREDOMINANTLY OF PEOPLE OF
COLOR. UNDER THE CURRENT INTERIM
PLAN THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF
RENTERS WILL BE DISPLACED AND
THE GREATEST BENEFITS WILL BE
RESERVED FOR MODERATE INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS TO HOMEOWNERSHIP
MARKET AND WEALTH GENERATION
OPPORTUNITIES. RESIDENTS ARE
LIKELY TO SEE AN INCREASE. THE
AVERAGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE PER
HOUSEHOLD IS HIGHER, THE LOW
INCOME HOUSEHOLDS IS HIGHER IN
RESIDENT AT RISK OF
DISPLACEMENT. PROPOSED ARE
EXTREMELY LACKING IN EQUITY AND
WELL-BEING FOR ALL. THE ONLY
ALTERNATIVE THAT RESIZES
CITYWIDE EQUITY WE REQUEST THE

THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE
COMMENTS.
>> THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE JOHN.
FOLLOWED BY LEO. YOU ARE ON
DECK. HI, JOHN.
>> HI. THANK YOU. I LIVE IN
FREMONT. THAT IS JUST BAD
DESIGN. DENSITY AND GREEN SPACE
ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. THE
HAVE SETBACKS AND MAKE USE FOR
THIS ROOM FOR THEM AND TREES ARE
A VITAL PART. IT IS SAD MONEY IS
THE ONLY LANGUAGE SOME PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND, BUT IN THAT VEIN

>> HI. GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU.
I'M A 25 YEAR RESIDENT . I HAVE
SEVERAL COMMENTS TODAY ON BEHALF
OF THE THORNTON CREEK ALLIANCE
NONPROFIT BASED IN NORTH
SEATTLE. WE SUPPORT INCREASING
HOUSING DENSITY WHILE BALANCING
WITH ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE
OBJECTIVES. WE SUPPORT
COUNCILMEMBER HOLLINGSWORTH
AMENDMENT. WE ARE PREPARED TO
SUPPORT AN AMENDMENT BY
COUNCILMEMBER CATHY MOORE FOR
MORE PROTECTION, UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES OF DEVELOPMENT
WHEN THIS BECOMES AVAILABLE.
REGARDING THE PROPOSAL THAT
AREAS WITH THE REDUCED PORTION
TO PERCENTAGE CONTAINED , WE DO
NOT SUPPORT THIS IDEA. THEY MUST
RETAIN BUFFER ZONES IN ALL CASES
AND REQUIRES A HEALTHY WATER
WEIGHT AND HABITAT . IT IS
INTEGRAL TO THAT. FLEXIBILITY IS
NOT NECESSARY FOR INCREASING
HOUSING AND COULD RESULT IN
PERMANENT LOSS FOR WILDLIFE FOR
WATERSHED FUNCTIONS AND SETBACK
PUZZLES RISK ENCOURAGING TOO
MUCH IMPERVIOUS DAMAGE COVERAGE
. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. WE HAVE A COUPLE
THINGS. WE HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH

PRIORITIZED THOSE PEOPLE. WE GOT
THROUGH ALL OF OUR PUBLIC
COMMENTERS HERE. I SEE THE LIST
OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE SIGNED UP
BUT THEY ARE NOT PRESENT AND WE
HAVE CALLED YOU THROUGHOUT THE
MEETING. I THINK EVERYONE FOR
SIGNING UP TODAY. IF THERE IS NO
OBJECTION , THE SELECT COMMITTEE

BE IN RECESS UNTIL 4:00 P.M. FOR
OUR IN PERSON PUBLIC COMMENT
