LAST\nYEAR, I MOVED TO THE ROOSEVELT\nNEIGHBORHOOD, SPECIFICALLY\nBECAUSE OF ITS DENSITY AND THE\nFACT THAT IT IS THE NEXUS OF\nSEVERAL MAJOR TRANSIT CORRIDOR\nIS. LIVING THERE, I SEE OUR\nVISION FOR SEATTLE ACTUALLY\nWORKING FANTASTICALLY, BOTH FOR\nME AND MY NEIGHBORS, BUT IT\nSHOULDN'T BE A LUXURY. WE\nSHOULDN'T TREAT OUR HOUSING\nSHORTAGE LIKE A MYSTERIOUS\nNATURAL DISASTER WHEN IT IS\nACTUALLY A POLICY CHOICE. I AM\nASKING YOU TO BUILD ON [\nINAUDIBLE ] AND MAXIMIZE THAT\nMODEL EVERYWHERE. PUSH THE\nDENSITY LIMITS [ INAUDIBLE ] AS\nFAR AS THEY CAN GO. BEYOND JUST\nHOUSING, IF WE DON'T BUILD UP,\nWE CRAWL OUT, WHICH IS THE WORST\nTHING WE CAN DO FOR OUR\nENVIRONMENT. IT'S TIME TO STOP\nBEING TIMID WITH THE MAPS AND\nMAKE IT LEGAL FOR MORE PEOPLE [\nINAUDIBLE ]. THANK YOU FOR YOUR\nTIME.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT UP, SARAH\nDAVIS.\nHI, I AM A RESIDENT OF\nNORTHEAST SEATTLE. I AM HERE TO\nCALL OUT THIS PERFORMATIVE\nENGAGEMENT PROCESS [ INAUDIBLE\n]. THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS HAVE\nSUBMITTED COMMENTS AND PETITIONS\nASKING TO HAVE THEIR VOICES\nHEARD IN HOW THEIR BELOVED\nNEIGHBORHOODS GROW AND BECOME\nMORE DENSE. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nRESIDENTS HAVE BEEN TOLD BY\nCOUNCILMEMBERS THAT FIGHTING\nTHIS IS POINTLESS, THE VOTES ARE\nNOT THERE, THE COUNCIL DOESN'T\nCARE ABOUT [ INAUDIBLE ], THE\nCOUNCIL AND THE MAYOR WANT A\nMORE EXTREME PLAN, NOT A\nMODERATE ONE. IN MY\nNEIGHBORHOOD, THE PEOPLE WHO\nWILL BE DISPLACED ARE A SINGLE\nMOTHER WITH TWO CHILDREN, AN\nELDERLY COUPLE, AND AN ELDERLY\nWIDOW, A DISABLED VETERAN, OLDER\nRENTALS -- RENTERS LIVE IN\nAFFORDABLE APARTMENTS. [\nINAUDIBLE ] WILL ONLY LEAD TO\nLAWSUITS, DELAYS, AND MORE JUST\nVISION. WE ARE SEEING I THE\nNATIONAL LEVEL AND HERE IN\nSEATTLE THAT PEOPLE IN POWER\nDON'T ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THE\nDEMOCRATIC PROCESS, THEY ONLY\nSPEAK FOR THEIR OWN POLITICAL\nAGENDA. [ INAUDIBLE ] PRETENDS\nTO HELP POOR PEOPLE WHEN IN FACT\nIT MOSTLY HELPS RICH DEVELOPERS.\nTHANK YOU, SARAH. NEXT UP,\nMELISSA NAIR.\nGOOD MORNING, I'M EXECUTIVE\nDIRECTOR OF A.I. SEATTLE. AN\nORGANIZATION WITH 2600 MEMBERS\nWHO ENVISIONS BATTLE AS A FIFTH\nTEEN MINUTE LIVABLE THAT HE WITH\nHOUSING, AMENITIES, AND TRANSIT\nVISIBLE TO EVERYONE, INCREASING\nTHE SUPPLY OF HOUSING IS\nESSENTIAL TO THIS MISSION. WE\nASK THE COMMUNITY TO CONSIDER\nKEY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CENTER\nAND CORRIDOR IS LEGISLATION BY\nINCREASING POTENTIAL PLACES FOR\nNEW HOUSING BY EXPANDING CORE\nDOORS, ADDING MORE NEIGHBORHOOD\nCENTERS, AND MAKING SURE ZONING\nIS CONSISTENT WITH THE RACIAL\nAND [ INAUDIBLE ] INDEX. [\nINAUDIBLE ] MAKING IT EASIER TO\nCREATE HOUSING , AND CERTAINLY\nUNDER THOSE CURRENT STRUCTURES,\nMISSING PROJECTS ARE TOO COSTLY\nFOR DEVELOPERS AND NOT BEING\nBUILT, SO FUNDS ARE NOT BEING\nRAISED. [ INAUDIBLE ] TO ADDRESS\nTHIS BARRIER. AND FINALLY, [\nINAUDIBLE ] EVALUATE HOUSING\nPRODUCTION ACROSS THE CITY.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, MELISSA. RICK K, I\nSEE THAT YOU HAVE LOGGED BACK\nIN. SINCE YOU WERE DISCONNECTED\nEARLIER, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND --\nLET'S GO BACK AND START YOUR\nTESTIMONY OVER, SO WE WILL GIVE\nYOU ONE MINUTE.\nTHANK YOU. LET'S BE CLEAR.\nZONING IS NOT THE SAME AS\nGROWTH. [ INAUDIBLE ] BRINGS\nHIGHER COSTS AND SIMPLY\nPRIORITIZES INFLATION OVER\nINFILL, WHICH IS NEITHER SOUND\nNOR COMPASSIONATE COUNCIL, YOU\nHAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW\nTHE TRUTH AND TELL THE TRUTH.\nYOU DON'T GET TO HIDE BEHIND\nEXCUSES BEING LED BY CITY STAFF\nAND HEAVY LOBBYING AND\nPROPAGANDA FROM THE INVESTMENT\nCOMPANIES. YOU HAVE A\nRESPONSIBILITY TO BE GOOD\nSTEWARDS OF THE CITY [ INAUDIBLE\n]. THE CURRENT PROPOSAL NOT ONLY\nDOES IT CAPTURE ZONING VALUE FOR\nCURRENT PUBLIC BENEFIT, THEY\nALSO PREVENT FUTURE CITY\nGOVERNMENTS FROM GETTING FAIR\nVALUE [ INAUDIBLE ]. THE CURRENT\nPLAN [ INAUDIBLE ] GIVEAWAY FAR\nBEYOND WHAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE\nFILLED, WITH NO PROMISE OF\nACTUAL GROWTH IN RETURN. ENABLES\nTHEM TO SUE THE FUTURE\nADMINISTRATIONS IF THEY TRY TO\nMAKE THEM PAY A FAIR SHARE. NONE\nOF YOU WILL BE IN OFFICE FOREVER\nBUT IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING AND\nTHIS TIME, PLEASE [ INAUDIBLE ].\nTHIS PUBLIC COMMENT PROCESS IS\nFOR MONOLOG ONLY, NOT REALLY\nENGAGEMENT, WHICH IS WHAT IS\nNEEDED FOR ACTUAL CITIZEN\nINVOLVEMENT AND NOT CORPORATE\nCAPTURE.\nTHANK YOU, RICK. THE NEXT\nGROUP OF SPEAKERS WILL BE -- AND\nWE ARE UP TO NUMBER 12, SO, IT\nWILL BE JEFF , JOHNSON, SARAH\nSCOTT, AND MEGAN CRUZ, SO WE\nWILL START WITH JEFF FRIEDMAN.\nHELLO, THANK YOU, MY NAME IS\nJEFF FRIEDMAN, I AM A PARTNER\nWITH [ INAUDIBLE ] ARCHITECTS,\nSPECIALIZING IN AFFORDABLE\nHOUSING. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nTHROUGHOUT SEATTLE. IN\nPARTICULAR, I WANT TO ADDRESS [\nINAUDIBLE ] CENTER. [ INAUDIBLE\n] THE ISAAC CULVER HOUSE, [\nINAUDIBLE ] . THE ISAAC OVER\nHOUSE IS PROVIDING SENIOR\nHOUSING FOR 75 YEARS. [\nINAUDIBLE ] 140 UNITS [\nINAUDIBLE ] . CERTAINLY SPLIT\nZONES. [ INAUDIBLE ] OR THE REAR\nPORTION OF THE PARCEL IS ZONED\nFOR RESIDENTIAL. EXISTING USE\nPREDATES THE ZONING\nSPECIFICATION. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nUSUALLY CREATED BY ACCIDENT. THE\nPROPERTY LINES ARE DIFFICULT [\nINAUDIBLE ]. THEY ARE EXTREMELY\nCHALLENGING TO DEVELOP. THE\nCURRENT PROPOSAL DOES NOT\nRECOGNIZE [ INAUDIBLE ] AND\nPERPETUATES THE SPLIT ZONE. [\nINAUDIBLE ] JUST ENOUGH TO\nINCLUDE THE ENTIRE PARCEL [\nINAUDIBLE ] .\nTHANK YOU, JEFF. NEXT UP,\nJOHNSON.\nTHANK YOU, CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES.\nTHE RIGHT NOW, I AM LISTENING\nTO A CHAINSAW. THEY ARE CUTTING\nA LOT AND NEW YEAR WHERE\nAFFORDABLE HOUSING WAS TORN DOWN\nFOR LUXURY DEVELOPMENT. [\nINAUDIBLE ] DOUBLE DOWN ON WHAT\nHAS BEEN A PLAN OF\nGENTRIFICATION AND DISPLACEMENT\nDRIVEN BY [ INAUDIBLE ] AND\nPRIVATE EQUITY. DENSITY ALONE\nDOES NOT MAKE THE CITY\nAFFORDABLE OR LIVABLE, AND [\nINAUDIBLE ] SIMPLY PERPETUATES A\nPATTERN OF ANY QUALITY. INSTEAD\nOF BUILDING TALLER AND FASTER, I\nURGE THE COUNCIL TO PAUSE. THERE\nIS NO LEGAL DEADLINE TO RUSH\nTHROUGH [ INAUDIBLE ]. CHANGING\nOVERNIGHT. THIS PLAN IS OUT OF\nDATE ALREADY. 2025 [ INAUDIBLE ]\nJANUARY, OVER 19,000. PAUSE,\nSTUDY HOW [ INAUDIBLE ] IS\nWORKING, READ THE NEW RESEARCH,\nLOOK AT CITIES LIKE CHARLESTON .\nNEIGHBORHOODS ARE INVITED TO\nPARTICIPATE IN PLANNING TO\nCREATE A TRULY AFFORDABLE AND\nLIVABLE CITY, THANK YOU VERY\nMUCH.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT UP, SARAH\nSCOTT. NEXT UP , MEGAN CRUZ.\nGOOD MORNING. I AM MEGAN\nCRUZ, A DOWNTOWN RESIDENT WITH\nTWO REQUESTS. THE FIRST IS TO\nSIMPLY PUBLISH A FUTURE LAND USE\nMAP FOR DOWNTOWN. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nDECISIONS REQUIRE A TRANSPARENT\nFRAMEWORK FOR RESIDENTS TO SEE.\nSECOND, WE NEED LAND-USE\nPOLICY-BASED AND RESEARCH AND\nFAX [ INAUDIBLE ]. A MAJOR\nBUILDING BOOM HAS NOT PRODUCED [\nINAUDIBLE ]. 27% OF UNITS\nDOWNTOWN ARE [ INAUDIBLE ]\nOCCASIONALLY OCCUPIED, TWICE THE\nRATE [ INAUDIBLE ]. RESEARCH\nWARNS THAT [ INAUDIBLE ] AND\nRISING LAND PRICES, PUSHING\nAFFORDABILITY EVEN FURTHER UP\nAND OUT OF REACH. IT IS TIME TO\n[ INAUDIBLE ] LAND VALUE\nRECAPTURE, AND RESIDENTIAL\nCONVERSION OF THE HISTORIC\nBUILDING. DOWNTOWN WILL BECOME\nSEATTLE'S LARGEST NEIGHBORHOOD\n, AND IT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO\nALL. [ INAUDIBLE ] POLICY NEEDS\nTO BE TRANSPARENT,\nEVIDENCE-BASED, AND FOCUS ON\nREAL AFFORDABILITY OUTCOMES.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU. AND WE ARE GOING\nTO GO BACK TO AN EARLIER\nSPEAKER, SHOW ALVAREZ, IF YOU\nCOULD PRESS*6.\nCAN YOU HEAR ME: CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES.\nGREAT, THANKS. FELLOW\nCOUNCILMEMBERS, MY NAME IS\nALVAREZ AND I AM HERE TODAY ON\nBEHALF OF THE SEATTLE PLANNING\nCOMMISSION. THE PLANNING %\nCOMMISSION ADOPTS -- SUPPORTS\nTHE ADOPTION OF [ INAUDIBLE ].\nIMPLEMENTATION OF THIS NEW MODEL\n[ INAUDIBLE ] MORE AFFORDABLE\nHOMES NEAR AMENITIES, SERVICES,\nAND JOBS, ALLOWS US TO [\nINAUDIBLE ] MORE EQUITABLY TO\nMEET THE FUTURE. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nPREVIOUSLY EXPRESSED OUR\nCONCERNS ABOUT CONCENTRATING ON\n[ INAUDIBLE ] . WE WOULD LIKE TO\nSEE [ INAUDIBLE ] THE MITIGATION\nOF NEGATIVE PUBLIC HEALTH\nIMPACTS [ INAUDIBLE ]. IT'S\nFUTURE LAND USE MAP IS\nFINALIZED. [ INAUDIBLE ] THE\nCOMMISSION FURTHERMORE SUPPORTS\n[ INAUDIBLE ] AND THE BOUNDARIES\nOF CORRIDOR ZONES. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU. AND TO SARAH\nSCOTT, IF YOU WANT TO CALL BACK\nIN, WE CAN CIRCLE BACK TO YOU,\nBUT THE NEXT UP ON THE LIST IS\n-- WE HAVE A FEW. OH, LOOKS LIKE\nSARAH SCOTT, ARE YOU PRESENT? IF\nYOU COULD HIT*6, YOU'RE NEXT.\nHI.\nHI.\nOH, HI. YES, THANK YOU, GOOD\nMORNING. I AM A SENIOR AND A\nSINGLE MOM. MY SON, WHO HAS A\nDISABILITY, AND I LIVE TOGETHER\nON A FIXED INCOME. I WAS BORN\nAND RAISED IN SEATTLE. I RAISED\nMY OLDER CHILDREN AND OUR FAMILY\nAT HOME. I JUST WANT TO SAY, THE\nDISPLACEMENT IS REAL FOR PEOPLE\nLIKE US AND OTHERS, SENIORS,\nPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES,\nVETERANS, AND MORE. I AM TALKING\nABOUT A SMALL AREA ON NORTHEAST\n45th BETWEEN 40th AND 45th\nAVENUE. THIS AREA REALLY\nDOESN'T EVEN FOLLOW INTO YOUR\nOWN GUIDELINES. I WOULD LIKE TO\nKNOW, WHY CAN'T WE SWITCH THIS\nAREA, PLEASE? WHY IS IT STOPPING\nUS FROM -- WHAT IS STOPPING US\nFROM SWITCHING THIS SMALL AREA\nTO ONE THAT IS MUCH BETTER\nSUITED? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR\nLISTENING TO ME.\nTHANK YOU, SARAH. THE NEXT\nGROUP OF FOLKS , WE WILL START\nAT NUMBER 16, IT IS JUDY\nBANDAGE, RUBY HOLLAND, MORGAN ,\nJIM GANTZ, BUT ACTUALLY, BEFORE\nWE GET TO THAT GROUP, I SEE A\nPRIOR SPEAKER, ANN TYSON, IF YOU\nARE THERE, WE WILL GO TO YOU\nFIRST. ANN TYSON, IF YOU COULD\nPRESS*6.\nCAN YOU HEAR ME: CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES. GO AHEAD, ANN.\nHELLO: HELLO?\nYES, WE CAN HEAR YOU.\nGOOD MORNING. I KNOW YOU WANT\nTHE BEST ZONING SOLUTION AND SO\nDOES MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN\nNORTHEAST SEATTLE DISTRICT 4. IT\nIS ALREADY BUILDING MORE THAN\n1000 NEW UNITS AND THOUSANDS\nMORE [ INAUDIBLE ]. SEVERAL\nAREAS ARE PROPOSED FOR THREE OR\nFIVE STORY BUILDINGS. [\nINAUDIBLE ] MY NEIGHBORS HAVE\nPETITIONED TO SHIFT ONE SMALL [\nINAUDIBLE ] TO A DIFFERENT\nLOCATION RIGHT INSIDE OUR\nNEIGHBORHOOD THAT CAN PRODUCE AS\nMANY OR MORE NEW UNITS. WHY DO\nWE WANT THIS SWITCH? A BETTER\nLOCATION, IT'S CLOSE TO A\nCOMMERCIAL AREA WITH A PHARMACY,\nGROCERY STORE, AND MULTIPLE\nTRANSIT LINES. IT CONNECTS TO\nOTHER LOWRISE [ INAUDIBLE ]\nAREAS WITH SOME HIGHER HEIGHTS\nALREADY. DISPLACEMENT IS\nUNLIKELY THERE. IN CONTRAST, THE\nAREA NOW SLATED FOR UP ZONE, [\nINAUDIBLE ], HAS NONE OF THESE\nBENEFITS . IT'S CHALLENGING TO\nWALK, LIMITED TRANSIT, AND\nLITERALLY NO SHOPS. SO,\nDISPLACEMENT ALSO IS A REAL\nTHREAT HERE FOR SENIOR CITIZENS\nON FIXED INCOME. PLEASE SUPPORT\nTHIS SWITCH AND MAKE THE PLAN\nMORE SUCCESSFUL BY LISTENING TO\nTHE GRASSROOTS. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, ANN. NEXT UP,\nJUDY.\nGOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS\nJUDY, I SENT TWO LETTERS TO THE\nCOUNCIL. ONE ADDRESSING THE MAP\n009 [ INAUDIBLE ]. AND LR-2 AND\nLR-3 WOULD ELIMINATE A GREEN\nPARK AREA THAT HAS BEEN IN THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD WELL OVER 50 YEARS.\nIT IS RIGHT IN BACK OF THE\nCOMMUNITY CENTER AND SENIOR\nHOUSING, AND THAT SHOULD BE\nREJECTED IN ITS ENTIRETY. THE\nSECOND LETTER ADDRESSED THE MAP\n095 THAT WOULD [ INAUDIBLE ]\nLR-3 AND WOULD DRAMATICALLY\nREDUCE THE SIZE OF [ INAUDIBLE ]\nIN THE NORTH NATIONAL HISTORIC\nDISTRICT, WHICH THE PREVIOUS --\nONE OF THE PREVIOUS COUNCILS IN\n2019 UNANIMOUSLY VOTED NOT TO\nUPSELL. SO, PLEASE LEAVE BOTH OF\nTHESE AREAS INTACT. AND I, ALONG\nWITH OTHERS WHO HAVE ALREADY\nSPOKEN, REALLY OBJECT TO THE\nLACK OF PUBLIC NOTICE AND\nOUTREACH, WHICH SHOULD HAVE\nSTARTED FROM THE GROUND UP, SO\nTHAT EVERYONE HAD THE\nOPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON IT.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, JUDY. NEXT UP,\nRUBY HOLLAND.\nYES, MY NAME IS RUBY HOLLAND.\nTHE CORRIDOR [ INAUDIBLE ] STILL\nUSING THE URBAN VILLAGE [\nINAUDIBLE ] MINORITIES AND\nWORKING-CLASS HOMEOWNERS [\nINAUDIBLE ]. SEATTLE WILL NEVER\nHAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IF THESE\nRICH PEOPLE ARE THE ONLY ONES\nALLOWED TO OWN LAND. AFFORDABLE\nHOUSING IS IMPORTANT TO\nEVERYONE, BUT NOT AT THE CITY'S\nEXPENSE. WE HAVE HAD OUR SHARE\nOF UP ZONING AND DISPLACEMENTS.\n[ INAUDIBLE ] MANDATED FOR\nFORMER REDLINE COMMUNITIES. THE\nANTI-DISPLACEMENT PLAN MENTIONED\n[ INAUDIBLE ] IS INADEQUATE AND\nUNTRUE FOR KEEPING PEOPLE\nHOUSED. WE WATCHED MORE HOUSING\nGET BILLED AFTER PASSING [\nINAUDIBLE ] IN 2019, AND WE ALSO\nWATCHED CITY COUNCIL APPROVED\n$3181 RENT FOR A TWO BEDROOM [\nINAUDIBLE ] LOW INCOME APARTMENT\nIN NOVEMBER OF 2000.\nTHANK YOU, RUBY. NEXT UP, BOB\nMORGAN.\nCAN YOU HEAR ME: CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES, WE CAN.\nHELLO? GREAT. THIS COUNCIL\nBILL WOULD USE THOSE LANES\nTHROUGHOUT THE CITY THROUGH THE\n[ INAUDIBLE ] ZONE WHERE IT\nSHARES BOUNDARIES WITH THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONE.\nTHIS ABRUPT TRANSITIONS ARE\nCONTRARY TO THE CITY'S LAND USE\n[ INAUDIBLE ] AN EXPLICIT\nPROVISION AND LAND USE CODE THAT\nCOMPLIANCE WITH THE RECENT\nCRITERIA CONSTITUTES CONSISTENCY\nWITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.\nALSO, ANOTHER CODE REQUIREMENT\nTHERE IS THAT THE RECORD REPORT\nINCLUDED AN EVALUATION OF THE\nAPPLICABLE REASONS. THESE\nCONDITIONS MAKE THIS PROPOSAL\nSUBJECT TO LEGAL CHALLENGE. WE\nRECOMMEND WITHIN 50 FEET OF THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL LOT,\nCHANGE-UP ZONES TO L1 OR L2. [\nINAUDIBLE ] IF THESE TWO ITEMS\nARE INACCESSIBLE, PLEASE AT\nLEAST LIMIT [ INAUDIBLE ] USE L2\nNEXT TO NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL\nZONES AND DEMAND [ INAUDIBLE ]\nBY THE DIRECTORS REPORT. [\nINAUDIBLE ] MORE DETAIL ON THESE\nQUOTES.\nTHANK YOU, JIM. THE NEXT\nGROUP OF SPEAKERS, WE ARE UP TO\nSPEAKER NUMBER 20, IT IS LYLE ,\nMAGGIE LEWIS, CHARLES, ALEXANDER\nJOHNSON, AND PATRICK TAYLOR. OH,\nSORRY, NEXT UP, JIM GANN\nACTUALLY, YOU ARE NUMBER 19.\nPLEASE GO.\nCOUNCILMEMBERS, I AM 100%\nDISABLED VETERAN LIVING ON A\nFIXED INCOME. I AM HERE BECAUSE\nI AM CONCERNED ABOUT\nDISPLACEMENT IN THE SMALL\nRESIDENTIAL STRIP OF NORTHEAST\n45th STREET, NOT JUST FOR ME,\nFOR MY NEIGHBOR, ALSO A DISABLED\nVETERAN, AND SEVERAL SENIOR\nCITIZENS ON OUR BLOCK WHO WANT\nNOTHING MORE THAN TO REMAIN IN\nTHEIR HOMES. UP ZONING THIS\nSMALL STRIP COULD RAISE PROPERTY\nTAXES AND FINANCIAL PRESSURE TO\nA POINT WHERE PEOPLE LIKE US ARE\nFORCED OUT. THIS ISN'T JUST A\nNEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S A COMMUNITY.\nTHESE ARE MY FRIENDS AND WE\nBUILT OUR LIVES HERE TOGETHER,\nAND THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE FOR\nTHIS KIND OF CHANGE. STEEP\nSLOPES, NO SERVICES, LIMITED\nTRANSIT. THIS AREA CANNOT\nSUPPORT WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED.\nWE HAVE IDENTIFIED A BETTER\nLOCATION NEARBY THAT CAN HAVE\nTHE SAME NUMBER OF UNITS WITH\nBETTER SUPPORTING\nINFRASTRUCTURE, WITHOUT\nDISPLACING PEOPLE LIKE ME.\nPLEASE HELP PROTECT THIS\nCOMMUNITY AND MOVE THIS ZONING\nTO WHERE IT TRULY WORKS. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU, JIM. NEXT UP,\nLYLE. -- LYLE. IF YOU COULD\nPRESS'S*6.\nHI, I AM LILA, I AM A\nCLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST AND I HAVE\nRAISED THREE KIDS HERE ON QUEEN\nANNE. PLEASE SLOW DOWN. WHAT WE\nARE MISSING IS A GOAL OF\nCITYWIDE PLAN FOR NEW PUBLIC\nAMENITIES AND PUBLIC TREES THAT\nWILL [ INAUDIBLE ] WRAP EVERY\nNEIGHBORHOOD IN A GREEN EMBRACE.\nTHE ONE SEATTLE PLAN HAS SHOWN\nUS HOW FUTURE GROWTH WILL BE\nBALANCED. WITH THE PUBLIC\nSPACES, WE NEED TO RETAIN THE\nCITY'S QUALITY OF LIFE AND [\nINAUDIBLE ]. AS NEIGHBORHOODS\nPREPARE FOR GROWTH, WE NEED TO\nSEE HOW LIVABILITY WILL BE\nSUPPORTED WITH THE NEW PUBLIC\nAMENITIES SUCH AS PAUSES,\nCOURTYARDS, PARKS, TRAILS,\nBOULEVARDS, AND TREES. REDUCING\nTHE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS FOR\nBUILDING AND HOUSES WILL LEAD TO\nAN INCONSISTENT, CHAOTIC ZIGZAG\nDESIGN [ INAUDIBLE ].\nTHANK YOU. AND BEFORE WE MOVE\nON TO OUR NEXT SPEAKER, I JUST\nWANT TO REMIND ANY MEMBER OF THE\nPUBLIC WHO MIGHT WANT TO SPEAK\nREMOTELY THIS MORNING, THE\nSIGN-UP DEADLINE IS AT 10:30, SO\nYOU STILL HAVE TIME TO SIGN UP.\nNEXT UP, MAGGIE --\nHELLO: HELLO?\nNEXT UP IS MAGGIE LEWIS. [\nINAUDIBLE ]\nHELLO. I'M SPEAKING FROM\nWEST SEATTLE ABOUT MAP 184 ,\nABOUT THE EAST SIDE OF 46th\nAVENUE SOUTHWEST BETWEEN\nSOUTHWEST [ INAUDIBLE ], WHICH\nIS PROPOSED TO BE UP ZONE FROM\nNR TO LR-3. [ INAUDIBLE ] AN\nINADEQUATE STREET TO SUPPORT THE\nDEVELOPMENT OF FIVE-STORY,\nMULTIUNIT STRUCTURES IN TERMS OF\nSAFETY AND UTILITY SUPPORT. THE\nSTREET IS ONLY 16 FEET WIDE,\nTHERE IS ONLY ONE THREE-FOOT\nWIDE SIDEWALK THAT HAS NO\nPARKING STRIP. PEOPLE FROM\nCANETTI RETIREMENT [ INAUDIBLE\n]. EMERGENCY VEHICLES AND SIRENS\nAT TIMES CANNOT MAKE THE TURNS\nON 46 SOUTHWEST OR SOUTHWEST\nMYRTLE BECAUSE OF [ INAUDIBLE ].\nIN ADDITION, REGULAR SIZED [\nINAUDIBLE ] CAN'T SERVE THIS\nSTREET AND THE CITY MUST ALREADY\nSEND SMALLER TRUCKS TO SERVE US.\nBECAUSE OF THESE SAFETY --\nTHANK YOU, MAGGIE. NEXT UP,\nCHARLES.\nGOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS\nCHARLES TRAFFORD, I'M SPEAKING\nREGARDING THE ONE SEATTLE PLAN.\nTHE CITY NEEDS TO ADDRESS\nDENSITY, BUT THE SCOPE OF THIS\nIS FAR BEYOND WHAT IS\nREASONABLE. WE NEED THOUGHTFUL,\nWELL-PLANNED ZONING THAT OFFERS\nBOTH DENSITY AND LIVABILITY. [\nINAUDIBLE ] CONSIDER THE\nINFRASTRUCTURE, NONE OF IT WAS\nEVER DESIGNED FOR THIS. 35th AND\n75th AVENUE ARE GRIDLOCKED AT\nRUSH HOUR. HIS 75th, TWO LANE\nROAD, IS ONLY EAST-WEST ACCESS\nTO THE FREEWAY FOR THE ROUGHLY\n40,000 PEOPLE LIVING IN\nNEIGHBORHOODS FROM I-5 TO LAKE\nWASHINGTON. ADDING THOUSANDS\nMORE WILL EXPONENTIALLY COMPOUND\nTHE PROBLEM. I SUGGEST REDUCING\nTHE SCOPE OF THE PLAN AND\nREDUCING THE ZONING HEIGHT TO\nFOUR STORIES AND MAXIMUM. I ALSO\nSUGGEST CONSIDERING DEVELOPING\nIN A NEIGHBORHOOD ON LAKE CITY\nWAY [ INAUDIBLE ]. THIS AREA HAS\nAPPROPRIATE ACCESS AND IS\nGREATLY UNDERDEVELOPED. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU, CHARLES. NEXT UP,\nALEXANDER JOHNSON.\nHI, CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES, WE CAN, THANK YOU.\nOKAY, GOOD MORNING,\nCOUNCILMEMBERS, THANK YOU. I\nNAME IS ALEXANDRA JOHNSON AND I\nAM HERE ON BEHALF OF [ INAUDIBLE\n] AND SPECIFICALLY TO COMMENT ON\nTHE PLANNED ZONING OF THE NEW\nNEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. THE SOUTH\nPARK MEDIUM HOUSING INCOME IS [\nINAUDIBLE ], AND LOW INCOME\nRENTERS HERE ARE DISPLACED AT\nFOUR TIMES THE RATE OF [\nINAUDIBLE ]. YET, EVERY ZONING\nCURRENTLY PROPOSED FOR OUR\nCENTER [ INAUDIBLE ] REQUIRING A\nMINIMUM 60% AMI, WITH\nDEVELOPMENT MORE LIKELY TO\nACCOMMODATE [ INAUDIBLE ]. THAT\nMEANS VIRTUALLY NOTHING BEING\nBUILT WILL BE AFFORDABLE TO THE\nFAMILIES THAT ALREADY LIVE HERE,\nAND [ INAUDIBLE ] OR OWNERSHIP\nINSECURITY [ INAUDIBLE ]. PLEASE\nCONVERT ALL LR-1 ZONING TO LR-3.\nRESEARCH ALSO SHOWS THAT [\nINAUDIBLE ] TO SERVE ZERO TO 80%\nAMI HOUSEHOLDS. THERE IS\nCURRENTLY ZERO PLANNED ZONING IN\nSOUTH PARK. WE URGE THE COUNCIL\nTO ADOPT AFFORDABLE HOUSING\nOVERLAY ZONES ACROSS ALL [\nINAUDIBLE ].\nTHANK YOU, ALEXANDRA. WE ARE\nUP TO SPEAKER NUMBER 24. I'M\nGOING TO NAME OFF A FEW NAMES.\nPATRICK TAYLOR, IF YOU ARE OUT\nTHERE, PLEASE CALL IN. BETH\nBIRNBAUM, MARILYN SMITH, AND\nCOLLEEN. LET'S SEE, PATRICK\nTAYLOR, LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT NEED\nTO CIRCLE BACK TO YOU. SO, NEXT\nUP, BETH BIRNBAUM , IF YOU COULD\nHIT*6, PLEASE.\nGOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU: GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU\nFOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. I\nAM CALLING IN IS A NORTHEAST\nSEATTLE DISTRICT 4 RESIDENT,\nREGARDING THE PROPOSED CHANGE A\nNORTHEAST 46th STREET FROM 40th\nAVENUE NORTHEAST TO THE 48th\nAVENUE NORTHEAST. NOT ALIGNED\nWITH THE CITY PLAN, WHICH\nPRIORITIZES [ INAUDIBLE ]\nNEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS. IT IS NOT.\nLOOKING AT A VERY STEEP GRADE.\nSO, IT'S NOT WALKABLE, IT DOES\nNOT HAVE NEARBY COMMERCIAL\nSERVICES. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nNEIGHBORS IN THE AREA REPORT\nUSING [ INAUDIBLE ]. AND IT'S A\nMUCH MORE SUITABLE AREA FOR\nBUILDING ADDITIONAL HOUSING\nWITHOUT DISPLACING CURRENT\nRESIDENTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR\nTIME.\nTHANK YOU. LET'S SEE. NEXT\nUP, MARILYN SMITH.\nGOOD MORNING. THE DIRECTORS\nREPORT FOR THE PROPOSED [\nINAUDIBLE ] AND CORRIDOR'S\nLEGISLATION THAT IS BEFORE YOU\nSAYS, \"NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS ARE\nLOCATED ALONG EXISTING\nCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITY AND FREQUENT\nTRANSIT ACCESS\" PRIORITIZE THE\nWORD AND. [ INAUDIBLE ] WHERE\nPEOPLE COULD WALK AND GET\nTRANSIT TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR\nDAILY NEEDS, SO THEY DO NOT HAVE\nTHE NEED FOR CARS. HOWEVER, THE\nLEGISLATION YOU PASSED IN\nDECEMBER DEFINES NEIGHBORHOOD\nCENTERS AS PLACES LOCATED AROUND\nA COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR AND/OR\nACCESS TO FREQUENT TRANSIT. BY\nTHAT DEFINITION, A NEIGHBORHOOD\nCENTER CAN BE IN ANY PLACE WITH\nFREQUENT TRANSIT, WHETHER OR NOT\nIT HAS AMENITIES , OR PLACES\nWITH SOME AMENITIES, WITH NO\nACCESS TO TRANSIT. I DON'T\nTHINK THAT'S WHAT YOU INTENDED.\nPLEASE GO BACK AND AMEND THE\nORDINANCE AND TAKE OUT THE\nAND/OR. IT CAN BE AND AND/OR.\nTHANK YOU, MARILYN. AND FOR\nANYONE WHO IS UNABLE TO COMPLETE\nYOUR TESTIMONY, PLEASE GO AHEAD\nAND EMAIL US THE REMAINDER OR\nYOUR COMPLETE TESTIMONY. NEXT\nUP, COLLEEN.\nGOOD MORNING, CITY COUNCIL,\nCOLLEEN McALEER, REPRESENTING\n3400 RESIDENTS IN NORTHEAST\nSEATTLE AT OUR COMMUNITY CENTER,\nAND WE REQUEST TO MAINTAIN THE\nSTAIN UNITS [ INAUDIBLE ] AND\nNOT UP ZONE 55 FEET, MOVE THAT\nTO A MORE COMPATIBLE LOCATION [\nINAUDIBLE ]. THIS PARTICULAR\nSTREET IS AN ARBITRARY ZONING\nEXTENSION, LOCATED ON A STEEP\nSLOPE THAT JUST FUNCTIONS AS A [\nINAUDIBLE ] FOR METRO DRIVERS.\nTHE ONE SEATTLE PLAN SAYS PHASE\n26 DESIGNATES NEIGHBORHOOD\nCENTERS [ INAUDIBLE ] WITH\nDIVERSE HOUSING OPTIONS.\nNORTHEAST 45th STREET EAST OF\n40th AVENUE DOES NOT MEET THIS\nCRITERIA. THERE ARE NO\nCOMMERCIAL SERVICES [ INAUDIBLE\n]. A BETTER PLAN, LET THEM\nPRODUCE THE AFFORDABLE UNITS [\nINAUDIBLE ] . ANOTHER 120 UNITS\nCAN BE PLACED ELSEWHERE IN VERY\nUNDERDEVELOPED COMMERCIAL AREAS\nRIDE ALONG [ INAUDIBLE ]. THANK\nYOU SO.\nTHANK YOU, COLLEEN. THE NEXT\nGROUP, WE ARE UP TO NUMBER 28,\nIT'S GOING TO BE MARY DAVIS,\nWINSLOW HAYNES, GREG MURPHY, AND\nLEO KITCHELL, SO WE WILL START\nOFF WITH MARY DAVIS. IF YOU ARE\nPRESENT, PLEASE HIT*6.\nCAN YOU HEAR ME: CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES, WE CAN.\nCAN YOU HEAR ME: CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES.\nMY NAME IS MARY DAVIS, THANK\nYOU, COUNCILMEMBERS, FOR YOUR\nWORK ON A COMPLEX JOB OF\nINCREASED DENSITY AND FOR THE\nOPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. FIRST, THE\nCURRENT PROPOSED ZONING DOES NOT\nREFLECT THE PROVISION FOR\nTRANSITIONS THAT APPEARED IN THE\nPLAN THAT WAS APPROVED.\nTRANSITIONING FROM CB 121173\nGOING FOR TO NEIGHBORHOOD\nRESIDENTIAL [ INAUDIBLE ] WITH\nTHE CHARACTER OF OUR CITY AND\nSTART PLACEMENT OF FIVE AND SIX\nSTORY BUILDINGS RIGHT NEXT TO 30\nFOOT DWELLINGS. TRANSITIONING\nALSO ADDS GREATER CHOICES IN\nTYPES OF HOUSING. PLEASE\nTRANSITION BETWEEN ZONING\nCATEGORIES WITHIN EXISTING AREA\nBOUNDARIES. SECOND, I ENCOURAGE\nTHE COUNCIL TO CAREFULLY REVISIT\nTHE IMPACT OF ZONING NEXT TO OUR\nWONDERFUL CITY PARKS. EACH IS\nUNIQUE IN CHARACTER AND\nOFFERINGS, TYPE OF LOCATION,\nADJACENT STREETS, AND NUMBER\nTYPE AND FREQUENCY OF VISITORS.\nEACH REQUIRES GENERAL ACCESS AND\nSAFETY. PLEASE TAKE CARE IN\nOFFERING [ INAUDIBLE ]\nTHANK YOU, MARY. NEXT UP,\nWINSLOW HAYNES. WINSLOW, IF YOU\nCOULD HIT*6. OKAY, WE ARE GOING\nTO MOVE ON. WINSLOW, WE WILL\nCOME BACK TO YOU. OH. WINSLOW,\nIF YOU COULD HIT *6, OTHERWISE\nWE WILL COME BACK TO YOU.\nCAN YOU HEAR ME NOW: CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?\nYES, WE CAN, GO AHEAD.\nHELLO: HELLO?\nYES, WE CAN HEAR YOU.\nHELLO, MY NAME IS WINSLOW\nHAYES, SEATTLE RESIDENT SINCE\n1984. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A\nVERY SMALL [ INAUDIBLE ] ON 34th\nAND 35th AVENUE , WHICH WOULD BE\nZONED TO Mc 255 [ INAUDIBLE ].\nTHIS STRETCH IS ONE CONTINUOUS\nBLOCK OF NORTH EAST 81st STREET\nAND NORTHEAST 84th STREET. THIS\nPIECE OF LAND IS CURRENTLY ZONED\nAT NR. THE LAST RUN FROM 25th TO\n34th GRADE ON THE 35th ASIDE,\nTHERE IS A LONG LINE OF AT LEAST\n73 MOSTLY EVERGREENS THAT WERE\nPLANTED IN THE 1940s. THE 34th\nSIDE, THERE ARE HOUSES, YARDS,\nAND OTHER MATURE TREES. IF THIS\nUP ZONING [ INAUDIBLE ] THAT\nLONG LINE OF TREES WILL BE\nREMOVED [ INAUDIBLE ] OR THE\nTREES [ INAUDIBLE ] , WHICH\nMAKES NO SENSE, SINCE 34th IS A\nRESIDENTIAL STREET. PLEASE\nRESTORE THE ZONING TO NR. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT UP, GREG\nMURPHY.\nHI, THANK YOU FOR THE\nOPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. MY NAME IS\nGREG MURPHY, I AM A RESIDENT OF\nWEST SEATTLE. I LIVE IN A\nNEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS PROPOSED TO\nBECOME A [ INAUDIBLE ]\nNEIGHBORHOOD DISTRICT. AND I'M\nCALLING IN TO ASK THAT YOU\nMAINTAIN THE EXISTING\nNEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONING\nAND 36 AND 37th AVENUE SOUTHWEST\nTO [ INAUDIBLE ] NEIGHBORHOOD\nDISTRICT. THE REASON FOR THIS IS\nTHE PROPOSED CHANGE TO LR-3 IS\nGOING TO BRING 50 FOOT TALL\nBUILDINGS AS A PATCHWORK INTO\nOUR NEIGHBORHOOD OF SMALL [\nINAUDIBLE ] AND ONE AND A HALF\nSTORY HOMES, BLOCKING LIGHTS,\nBLOCKING VIEWS, TO [ INAUDIBLE ]\nOUR QUALITY OF LIFE IN THAT\nNEIGHBORHOOD. ADDITIONALLY, I\nDON'T THINK OUR INFRASTRUCTURE\nIS SCALED FOR A 50 FOOT TALL [\nINAUDIBLE ]. WE ARE ABOUT TWO\nMILES FROM THE NEAREST RAPID\nTRANSIT STATION. OUR STREETS ARE\nNARROW, AND [ INAUDIBLE ]\nRESIDENTIAL ZONING. THANKS.\nTHANK YOU, GREG. NEXT UP, LEO\nKITCHELL.\nHELLO, COUNCIL. MY NAME IS\nLEO KITCHELL, A LONGTIME SEATTLE\nRESIDENT LIVING ON CHERRY HILL.\nI WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO [\nINAUDIBLE ]. I SUPPORT THE\nPRIORITIES OF THAT COMPLETE\nCOMMUNITY COALITION. [ INAUDIBLE\n] COURTYARD BONUSES IN LR ZONES.\n[ INAUDIBLE ] AND EXPANDING\nTRANSIT CORRIDOR IS BEYOND THOSE\nNARROW BLOCK [ INAUDIBLE ] .\nTHANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD\nWORK. PLEASE HELP END THIS\nHOUSING AFFORDABILITY CRISIS BY\nALLOWING [ INAUDIBLE ]. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU, LEO. AND JUST A\nREMINDER FOR ANY OF THE\nLISTENING PUBLIC WHO HAVE NOT\nSIGNED UP TO TESTIFY, BUT ARE\nINTERESTED IN TESTIFYING\nREMOTELY THIS MORNING, YOU CAN\nSTILL SIGN UP UNTIL 10:30, SO 10\nMORE MINUTES TO SIGN UP. WOULD\nLIKE TO MOVE ONTO THE NEXT\nGROUP, WE ARE ON NUMBER 32, I\nWILL CALL OFF A LIST OF NAMES.\nORLA, SHAW, TINA, AND ROSA\nCORTEZ. SO, ORLA. YOU ARE NEXT.\nGOOD MORNING, COUNCILMEMBERS,\nMY NAME IS ORLA AND I AM HERE TO\nCOMMENT ON THE AFFORDABILITY OF\nOUR NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS. OUR\nCITY IS GETTING INCREASINGLY\nWARMER [ INAUDIBLE ], AND WE\nNEED OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS TO\nBE COOL. AIR-CONDITIONING IS A\nLUXURY THAT NOT ALL OF OUR\nRESIDENTS CAN AFFORD, AND [\nINAUDIBLE ] BY COOLING THE AIR\nUP TO 10 TO 15 DEGREES. PLEASE\nDO NOT OVERLOOK HOW TREES\nNATURALLY COOL THE AIR FOR ALL\nRESIDENTS. I AM ASKING FOR DENSE\nFORESTS FOR DENSE HOUSING. [\nINAUDIBLE ] TREES INSTEAD OF\nJUST PAVEMENTS. AMEND THE [\nINAUDIBLE ] , AND PILOT\nACCESSIBLE POCKET [ INAUDIBLE ]\nTO INCREASE FREE PARKING. I AM\nASKING [ INAUDIBLE ] AND TO KEEP\nSEATTLE ERECT. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT UP, NOLLIE\nMATT SHAW. IF YOU COULD HIT*6.\nOKAY.\nHI, CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES, WE CAN.\nOKAY. I URGE COUNCIL TO ENACT\nPOLICY THAT PROTECTS TREES AND\nPROMOTES HOUSING TOGETHER.\nUNLESS COUNCIL INCLUDES STRONGER\nREQUIREMENTS AND INCENTIVES TO\nPROTECT TREES, IT WILL NOT\nHAPPEN. IF WE COULD TRUST\nVOLUNTARY ACTION, SEATTLE WOULD\nHAVE A MUCH HIGHER TREE CANOPY\nALREADY. 100-YEAR-OLD TREES\nCANNOT BE REPLACED WITH NEW\nTREES. REQUIRING TREES DOES NOT\nHAVE TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF\nHOUSING WITH THE RIGHT POLICIES\nIN PLACE. AS THE NUMBER OF HOT\nDAYS INCREASE, IT IS IMPERATIVE\nTHAT SEATTLE INCLUDE TREES IN\nPLACES THAT PEOPLE SPEND TIME.\nON PRIVATE PROPERTY, COURTYARDS,\nCOMMUNITY SPACES, PARKS, AND ON\nSTREETS. TREES MATTER IN THE\nWINTER AS WELL, WE GET REALLY\nHEAVY RAIN NOW. TREES BREAK UP\nTHE RAINDROPS INTO SMALLER\nPARTICLES AND ABSORB THE WATER,\nREDUCING FLOODING IMPACTS.\nFINALLY, TREES ARE SO IMPORTANT\nTO PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELL-BEING.\nSCIENCE SHOWS THAT PEOPLE\nRECOVERING FROM SURGERY EVEN\nRECOVER FASTER JUST BY LOOKING\nAT TREES. JUST SPEND A FEW\nMINUTES QUIETLY LOOKING AT A\nTREE OR SITTING UNDER ITS CANOPY\nOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT THAT AND\nSEE HOW YOU FEEL. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT UP, TINA\nBUCHER. TINA, IF YOU COULD HIT\n*6.\nTHANK YOU, CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES, WE CAN. GREAT, MY NAME\nIS TINA AND I LIVE IN DOWNTOWN\nSEATTLE. I SUPPORT DOWNTOWN\nGROWTH AND I SUPPORT HAVING MORE\nHOUSING. BUT THIS PLAN RAISES A\nFUNDAMENTAL QUESTION, ARE WE\nGROWING A NEIGHBORHOOD OR ARE WE\nJUST [ INAUDIBLE ] ? THIS\nDOWNTOWN IS GOING TO GROW WITH\nRESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND WE\nHAVE TO PLAN FOR HOW PEOPLE [\nINAUDIBLE ] LIVABILITY, OPEN\nSPACE, WALKABLE STREETS. [\nINAUDIBLE ] AIR QUALITY ,\nPRESERVING HISTORIC BUILDINGS,\nAND SO ON. AND IT MEANS\nNEIGHBORHOOD AMENITIES, GROCERY\nSTORES, CHILDCARE, PARKS. [\nINAUDIBLE ] ADDING HOUSING IS\nNOT THE SAME AS BUILDING A\nNEIGHBORHOOD. AND A NEIGHBORHOOD\nCAN'T BE [ INAUDIBLE ] WITHOUT\nTRANSPORTATION, PUBLIC SPACE,\nAND AMENITIES ALL HAVE TO BE\nPLANNED TOGETHER, [ INAUDIBLE ].\nWE SHOULD BE PLANNING FOR HOW\nPEOPLE ACTUALLY LIVE THERE.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, TINA. NEXT UP,\nROSA CORTEZ. ROSA ? ROSA, IF YOU\nCOULD HIT*6. OKAY. ROSA, WE\nWILL COME BACK TO YOU. NEXT UP,\nWE HAVE A FEW SPEAKERS, WE ARE\nUP TO NUMBER 37. WE HAVE ETHAN,\nRUTH WILLIAMS, CAROLINE\nVILLANOVA, AND ZACH HOWELL.\nETHAN, YOU ARE UP NEXT, IF YOU\nCOULD HIT*6.\nHELLO. SEATTLE IS\nUNFORTUNATELY A VICTIM OF [\nINAUDIBLE ] VAST MAJORITY OF\nAMERICA. [ INAUDIBLE ] I WOULD\nBET 1 MILLION BUCKS THAT WHEN\nYOU GET THERE, THE FIRST THING\nON YOUR MIND IS, WOW, [\nINAUDIBLE ] ONLY MIXED-USE\nDEVELOPMENTS AND SIDEWALKS TO\nMAKE ROOM FOR A SIX LANE\nHIGHWAY. [ INAUDIBLE ] BEING\nABLE TO WALK OR BUS FROM ONE\nNEIGHBORHOOD TO ANOTHER, I WOULD\nORDER A $60 UBER INSTEAD. THIS\nIS A REALITY THAT WE LIVE IN,\nAND [ INAUDIBLE ] ZONING LAWS\nARE ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL\nISSUES DRIVING [ INAUDIBLE ].\nHIGH DENSITY, MIXED-USE\nDEVELOPMENT IN POOR\nNEIGHBORHOODS, IMPROVING\nAFFORDABILITY BY [ INAUDIBLE ].\nENCOURAGE ECONOMIC GROWTH BY\nINCREASING [ INAUDIBLE ] FOR\nRESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES. MY\nUNDERSTANDING OF THE CURRENT\nPROPOSAL IS THAT THE HOUSING\nWOULD ONLY BE UTILIZED [\nINAUDIBLE ]. I ASK US TO EXPAND\nINTO A FIVE-MINUTE [ INAUDIBLE ]\nAROUND THE CORE DOORS. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU, ETHAN. NEXT UP,\nRUTH WILLIAMS. RUTH, IF YOU\nCOULD HIT*6. RUTH , WE WILL\nCOME BACK TO YOU. CAROLINE\nVILLANOVA. CAN YOU HIT *6?\nCAROLINE, YOU MIGHT BE MUTED,\nSO, IF YOU WOULD TRY AGAIN.\nHI, IS THIS GOOD?\nYES, WE CAN HEAR YOU NOW.\nGREAT. THANK YOU FOR THE\nOPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT,\nCOUNCILMEMBERS. MY NAME IS\nCAROLINE VILLANOVA AND I AM THE\nDIRECTOR OF GOVERNMENT RELATIONS\nFOR SEATTLE [ INAUDIBLE ]. WE\nARE FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE NEED\nFOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING IN\nSEATTLE. WHAT WE ARE CONCERNED\nABOUT IS THE LACK OF FOCUS ON\nTHE OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE\nSURROUNDING THIS HIGHWAY. THE\nCOMMUNITY PROCESS FOR THIS HAS\nBEEN INADEQUATE. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nAGENCY AND ELECTED LEADERS TO\nSIT DOWN AND HAVE DIRECT\nDIALOGUES WITH COMMUNITIES THAT\nWILL BE IMPACTED BY THESE\nCHANGES. SEATTLE PARKS\nTHANKFULLY WORKS WITH OVER 130\nGRASSROOTS COMMUNITY GROUPS,\nINCLUDING A NUMBER OF\nNEIGHBORHOOD [ INAUDIBLE ], AND\nWE ARE HAPPY TO ASSIST THE CITY\nIN REACHING PEOPLE THAT CARE\nABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOODS. PEOPLE\nWANT TO LIVE NEAR GREEN SPACES.\nTHESE REQUIRE PUBLIC SPACE AND\nPUBLIC AMENITY IMPROVEMENTS TO\nEVERY REGIONAL AREA AND\nNEIGHBORHOOD PLAN. THESE ARE\nPLACES WHERE PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY\nENJOY OUR CITY. AND THE LAST [\nINAUDIBLE ], OR CITY LEADERS [\nINAUDIBLE ]. SPECIFICALLY PARKS,\nSUCH AS CAL ANDERSON PARK. WE\nREQUEST AN AMENDMENT TO THE [\nINAUDIBLE ] SYSTEM WITH TREE\nREQUIREMENTS AND [ INAUDIBLE ] .\nTHANK YOU VERY MUCH,\nCAROLINE. WE ARE GOING TO GO\nBACK TO RUTH WILLIAMS, I BELIEVE\nYOU WERE TRYING TO CALL IN. RUTH\nWILLIAMS, IF YOU WOULD HIT *6.\nHELLO, GOOD MORNING, MY NAME\nIS RUTH WILLIAMS, IN SPEAKING ON\nBEHALF OF HORTON CREEK ALLIANCE.\nBARTON CREEK IS THE LARGEST\nWATERSHED IN BOTH SEATTLE AND [\nINAUDIBLE ]. THE SEATTLE PORTION\nIS LARGELY IN D5 AND B4. A LOT\nOF PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE, BUT\nNOW THE CITY FOCUS ON PAVEMENT\nAND NEW CONSTRUCTION DIRECTLY\nCONFLICTS WITH THE CITY'S\nLONG-HELD STANDARD GOALS, AND\nWILL BRING INCREASED WARM,\nCONTAMINATED STORM WATER, AND\nTHE LOSS OF TREE CANOPY WILL\nFURTHER THE HARM WITH WARMER,\nDRIER AIR. [ INAUDIBLE ] NOT\nCONSISTENT WITH SALMON RECOVERY,\nBUT YOU KNOW THAT. THEY ARE NOT\nCONSISTENT WITH THE GOAL OF\nHEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT YOU\nKNOW THAT, TOO. HAS ANYONE\nCONSIDERED WHAT THE LACK OF\nPLANNING FOR OFF SPECIES AREAS\nIS GOING TO DO? THE STATED GOAL\nIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING. HOW IS\nTHAT WORKING? ARE YOU AWARE THAT\nSTSCI IS NOW REQUIRING\nHOMEBUYERS TO SIGN NO PROTEST\nAGREEMENTS AND AT LEAST ONE\nNEIGHBORHOOD? THIS IS A\nCOMMITMENT NOT TO PROTEST WHEN\nTHE CITY IMPOSES AN L I.D. ON\nTHE RESIDENTS.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT UP, WE ARE\nGOING TO GO TO ZACH HOWELL, AND\nAFTER THAT, WE ARE GOING TO\nCIRCLE BACK TO PATRICK TAYLOR.\nZACH HOWELL, CAN YOU HIT *6?\nHELLO. I'M ZACH HOWELL, A\nLONGTIME SEATTLE RENTER AND\nRECENT HOMEOWNER. IT SHOULD BE\nINCREDIBLY OBVIOUS HOW MESSED UP\nIT IS TO FORCE [ INAUDIBLE ]\nONTO BUSY ROADS WHILE\nSINGLE-FAMILY HOMES LIE ON NICER\nAND QUIETER STREETS. PLEASE\nEXTEND THESE CORE DOORS TO AT\nLEAST A FEW BLOCKS IN EACH\nDIRECTION. WHOEVER DECIDED THAT\nAPARTMENTS CAN ONLY GO WITHIN\nHALF A BLOCK OF TRANSIT\nCORRIDORS HAS CLEARLY NEVER\nWALKED TO A BUS STOP IN THEIR\nLIFE. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE\nNOVEMBER VOTERS WHO VOTED [\nINAUDIBLE ] OVER ENTRENCHED\nHOMEOWNERS AND CAR -- AND THE\nPREVIOUS CAR DRIVING\nADMINISTRATION. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, ZACH. NEXT UP,\nPATRICK TAYLOR. PATRICK TAYLOR,\nIF YOU COULD HIT *6. PATRICK\nTAYLOR, YOU ARE NUMBER 24. IF\nYOU ARE PRESENT, IF YOU COULD\nHIT *6. OKAY, PATRICK, WE CAN\nCIRCLE BACK TO YOU. THANK YOU\nALL AGAIN TO EVERYBODY FOR\nCALLING IN, AND AGAIN, IF YOU\nARE UNABLE TO COMPLETE YOUR\nCOMMENTS, GO AHEAD AND EMAIL US.\nYOU CAN EMAIL THE ENTIRE COUNCIL\nAT COUNCIL @ SEATTLE.GOV. THE\nNEXT GROUP OF SPEAKERS, WE ARE\nUP TO NUMBER 41. WE ARE GOING TO\nNAME 41 THROUGH 45. IT IS\nBECAUSE SUE , HANS RASMUSSEN,\nSCOTT ROBERTS, GABRIEL KENNEDY\nGIBBONS, AND MONACO LONG. LOOKS\nLIKE [ INAUDIBLE ] MAY NOT BE\nPRESENT, BUT IF YOU WOULD CALL\nBACK IN . HANS RASMUSSEN, SAME\nTHING, IF YOU WOULD CALL BACK\nIN.\nHELLO? CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nHELLO, IS THAT PATRICK?\nYEAH, THIS IS PATRICK, SORRY.\nGO AHEAD, PATRICK.\nMY NAME IS PATRICK TAYLOR, I\nAM A HOMEOWNER [ INAUDIBLE ]\nNEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. [ INAUDIBLE\n] I'M CALLING IN TODAY TO\nSUPPORT NEW HOUSING\nOPPORTUNITIES. [ INAUDIBLE ] THE\nHOUSING CRISIS, THE ROOT OF\nWHICH IS NOT ENOUGH HOUSING, [\nINAUDIBLE ]. I WOULD ALSO LIKE\nTO MAKE A PLEA FOR LESS [\nINAUDIBLE ]. THE PROCESS IS\nEXHAUSTING. YOU HAVE HEARD [\nINAUDIBLE ]. LOBBYISTS [\nINAUDIBLE ] PEOPLE WANT TO BE\nWITH THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR\nFRIENDS, WATCHING REALITY TV, OR\nANYTHING BUT [ INAUDIBLE ]. NOW\nIS THE TIME [ INAUDIBLE ].\nPLEASE PASS THE REST OF THE PLAN\n[ INAUDIBLE ] AS SOON AS\nPOSSIBLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.\nTHANK YOU, PATRICK. NEXT UP,\nNUMBER 43, SCOTT ROBERTS, IF YOU\nCOULD HIT *6.\nHI. I LIVE ON 39th AVENUE\nSOUTHWEST IN WEST SEATTLE. I\nURGE YOU TO MAINTAIN THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONING\nON THE WEST SIDE OF 39th AVENUE\nSOUTHWEST. THE CURRENT ZONING [\nINAUDIBLE ] . ONCE YOU PUT THE\nSWITCH TO LR-2, IT'S PERMANENT,\nWE CAN'T UNDO [ INAUDIBLE ].\nTHIS REZONING IGNORES THE\nECONOMIC VALUE. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nUNATTRACTIVE FOR AFFORDABLE\nDEVELOPMENT. I AM PUSHING FOR\nLR-2, YOU'RE CREATING FEAR IN\nTHE COMMUNITY, [ INAUDIBLE ]\nBECAUSE THE MATH DOESN'T WORK\nFOR BUILDERS. ADJUSTING THAT\nMATH REQUIRES HIGHER PRICES. WHY\nTRADE OUR COMMUNITY STABILITY\nFOR A PLAN [ INAUDIBLE ]?\nFINALLY, THE PROCESS [ INAUDIBLE\n]. MOST OF THE NEIGHBORS IN MY\nCOMMUNITY ONLY HEARD OF THIS IN\nJANUARY. [ INAUDIBLE ] YOU\nREJECTED THE COUNCILMEMBERS\nAMENDMENT THAT WOULD HAVE [\nINAUDIBLE ] REQUIRED MAILERS. BY\nDOING SO --\nTHANK YOU, SCOTT. NEXT UP,\nGABRIEL KENNEDY GIBBONS.\nGABRIEL, IF YOU COULD HIT*6.\nGOOD MORNING, COUNCIL, MY\nNAME IS GABRIEL, I AM A STUDENT\nAT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON\nSTUDYING ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE.\nWHEN I WAS READING THROUGH THE\nDRAFT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN,\nI WAS VERY ALARMED TO SEE THAT\nIT INADEQUATELY ADDRESSES\nSTREETS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT\nREQUIRE AMENITY AREAS TO HAVE\nTREES, EITHER PLANTED OR\nOBTAINED. PLEASE AMEND THE GREEN\nFACTOR WITH TREE RETENTION AND\nPLANNING, AND AT A FLEXIBLE\nOPTION OF POCKET FORESTS IN\nPUBLIC RIGHT OF WAYS. WE KNOW\nTHAT WE CAN HAVE TREE DENSITY\nWITHOUT SACRIFICING HOUSING.\nTHIS IS ONE OF MY FIRST TIMES\nCALLING INTO COMMENT BECAUSE OF\nHOW IMPORTANT THIS ISSUE IS. AND\nI WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT MY\nHOMETOWN OF SPOKANE IS DOING\nBETTER JOBS THAN SEATTLE RIGHT\nNOW WITH THE TREE CANOPY COVER\nGOAL. AS MY PEERS AND I PREPARE\nTO GRADUATE, WE ARE GOING TO BE\nWATCHING CLOSELY AT WHAT THE\nCOUNCIL DOES AND IF YOU\nPRIORITIZE HAVING TREES OR NOT,\nWHEN WE ARE MAKING DECISIONS\nMORE LONG-TERM ABOUT WHERE WE\nWOULD LIKE TO LIVE, SO PLEASE\nPROVIDE FOR URBAN DENSITY,\nMAINTAIN OUR URBAN TREE COVER AS\nWELL. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, GABRIEL. NEXT UP,\nMONICA WONG. MONICA?\nGOOD MORNING, COUNCIL, MY\nNAME IS MONICA HONG, I'M A\nRENTER IN D2 AND I AM ALSO A\nMILLENNIAL. THE HOUSING SURGE\nHAS NOT ONLY AFFECTED [\nINAUDIBLE ] TO START OUR OWN\nFAMILIES, BUT ALSO [ INAUDIBLE ]\nOUR AGING PARENTS [ INAUDIBLE ].\nMY MOM IS IN HER 70s AND\nRECENTLY MOVED BACK TO BE CLOSER\nTO HER ONLY CHILD, AND THE\nCURRENT HOUSING SHORTAGE HAS\nLIMITED WHERE SHE CAN LIVE AND\nWHAT QUALITY-OF-LIFE SHE CAN\nHAVE IN HER LATER YEARS. SHE\nCAN'T REALLY SAFELY DRIVE\nANYMORE, SO THE LACK OF PUBLIC\nTRANSIT HAS REDUCED HER SENSE OF\nAUTONOMY, HER ABILITY TO GET TO\nMEDICAL APPOINTMENTS ON HER OWN,\nRUN ERRANDS, OR JUST SIMPLY MAKE\nNEW FRIENDS. [ INAUDIBLE ] SHE\nFEELS TRAPPED IN HER APARTMENT.\nI AM URGING YOU TO SUPPORT\nWIDENING THE TRANSIT CORRIDORS,\nSO OUR PARENTS CAN LIVE ON WIDER\nSTREETS AND ACCESS PUBLIC\nTRANSIT THAT THEY DEPEND ON.\nI'M ALSO ASKING YOU TO SUPPORT\nCOURTYARD BLOCKS TO PROVIDE\nFAMILY-FRIENDLY GREEN SPACES TO\nINNOVATE [ INAUDIBLE ]. AND\nLASTLY, I AM ASKING YOU [\nINAUDIBLE ] NOT JUST FOR OUR\nAGING PARENTS NOW, BUT FOR\nGENERATIONS TO COME. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, MONICA. AND FOR\nMEMBERS OF THE LISTENING PUBLIC,\nWE HAVE ABOUT 10 TO 15 MORE\nSPEAKERS, SO, WE WILL GO THROUGH\nTHE REMAINDER OF THE LIST AND WE\nWILL CIRCLE BACK TO ANYBODY WHO\nWE MISSED EARLIER. WE ARE UP TO\nNUMBER 47 . I WILL CALL OFF A\nLIST OF NAMES. JESSICA DIXON,\nCAVE MEANT , KATE RUBIN,\nCRYSTAL. SO, NEXT UP, JESSICA\nDIXON , IF YOU ARE ABLE TO CALL\nIN -- I WILL GIVE YOU A MOMENT,\nOTHERWISE WE WILL CIRCLE BACK TO\nYOU. WE WILL GO ON TO THE NEXT\nSPEAKER, DAVE MENTZ, IF YOU\nCOULD HIT *6.\nHI, GOOD MORNING. CAN I BE\nHEARD?\nYES, WE CAN HEAR YOU.\nYES, OKAY, THANK YOU,\nCOUNCILMEMBERS, FOR YOUR\nATTENTION TO THIS. I THINK\nAPPROPRIATELY STATED EARLIER,\nTHIS IS REALLY COMPLEX. I ALSO\nAGREE WITH A POINT MADE EARLIER\nABOUT THIS IS A REALLY GOOD\nSTART, ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE\nPUSHED FURTHER, AND I WOULD\nADVOCATE A FEW THINGS THAT HAVE\nBEEN EXPRESSED, ONE OF THEM\nBEING THE COURTYARD BONUS, WHICH\nIS A REALLY GOOD ATTEMPT TO\nBALANCE THE TREES VERSUS\nDEVELOPMENT DILEMMA. AND I AGREE\nTHAT THE TREES VERSUS\nDEVELOPMENT IS REALLY [\nINAUDIBLE ]. SECOND THING I\nWOULD ADVOCATE FOR WOULD BE THE\nHEIGHT BONUSES FOR GREEN\nBUILDINGS, LIKE [ INAUDIBLE ]\nTYPE STRUCTURES. AND THEN ,\nAGAIN, AS HAS BEEN EXPRESSED ,\nALLOWING MORE MULTI FAMILY\nHOUSING ON SIDE STREETS, AND I\nAGREE FULLY WITH THE STATEMENT\nTHAT THOSE WHERE RENTERS ARE\nOCCUPY NEW HOUSING SHOULD NOT BE\nTHE ONLY ONES FORCED TO LIVE [\nINAUDIBLE ] IN HIGH-TRAFFIC\nAREAS. MY INTEREST IN THIS STEMS\nFROM MY EXPERIENCE --\nTHANK YOU, DAVE. GO AHEAD AND\nEMAIL US THE REST OF YOUR\nCOMMENTS IF YOU'RE ABLE TO AT\nCOUNCIL@SEATTLE.GOV. NEXT UP,\nKATE RUBIN. GO AHEAD, KATE.\nMY NAME IS KATE RUBIN, I AM [\nINAUDIBLE ] DIRECTOR OF THE\nHOUSING [ INAUDIBLE ]. A RENTER\nIN DISTRICT 2, AND FOR\nIDENTIFICATION PURPOSES, [\nINAUDIBLE ]. I URGE THE COUNCIL\nTO [ INAUDIBLE ] WALK AROUND\nFREQUENT TRANSIT, SO RENTERS CAN\nLIVE ON QUIETER, SAFER, AND [\nINAUDIBLE ]. ON ARTERIALS AND\nBLOCKING THEM FROM AREAS OF LOW\nDISPLACEMENT AND HIGH\nOPPORTUNITY WOULD CONTINUE TO\nPERPETUATE SEATTLE'S RACIST\nHISTORY OF EXCLUSIONARY [\nINAUDIBLE ]. A LOT OF FEAR\nAROUND GROWTH INFORMALLY A\nSINGLE FAMILY HOMES. [ INAUDIBLE\n] NEIGHBORHOODS MORE DYNAMIC AND\nWELCOMING. RENTERS NEED HOUSING\nTHAT IS AFFORDABLE AND\nDESIRABLE. SEATTLE RESIDENTS ARE\nSTRUGGLING AND THE CONFERENCE OF\nAND MUST REPRESENT COMMUNITIES.\nI ALSO [ INAUDIBLE ]. THESE\nCHOICES WILL SHAPE THE CITY FOR\nDECADES. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, KATE. I WOULD LIKE\nTO CIRCLE BACK TO A PRIOR NAME.\nHANS RASMUSSEN, IF YOU ARE\nPRESENT, CAN YOU HIT*6?\nGOOD MORNING, ALL.\nGOOD MORNING: GOOD MORNING.\nI AM AN ARCHITECT AND I WOULD: I AM AN ARCHITECT AND I WOULD\nLIKE TO EXPRESS STRONG SUPPORT\nFOR THE COURTYARD HOUSING BONUS.\nI THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA TO\nMERGE THE TWIN POLITICAL GOALS\nOF TREES AND MORE HOUSING, AND I\nTHINK THAT WE SHOULD REALLY BE\nCONSIDERING THAT NOW. THE\nCOMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS,\nAS YOU KNOW, HAS BEEN GOING ON\nFOR MANY YEARS, AND LOWRISE\nZONES RIGHT NOW AREN'T REALLY\nGETTING BUILT IN. IT IS NOT\nCOST-EFFECTIVE OR ECONOMICALLY\nFEASIBLE TO DO SO. I THINK\nADDITIONAL UP ZONES WILL UNBLOCK\nTHAT CAPACITY THAT WE HAVE SPENT\nDECADES PLANNING FOR , AS MOST\nLO-RES ZONING IN OUR URBAN\nVILLAGES. AND THAT IS WHERE\nTHERE ARE ALREADY EXISTING,\nAMENITY RICH RESOURCES,\nBUSINESSES, RESTAURANTS,\nTRANSIT, SO WE CAN UNLOCK A LOT\nMORE HOUSING WITH THAT, AND ALSO\nA LOT MORE TREES. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, MONS. WE ARE GOING\nTO GO TO SPEAKERS STARTING AT\nSPEAKER 51, IT'S JOANNA, AND\nTHEN SHIRLEY LEON, AND DEB\nLESTER, AND LYNN. JOANNA:, COULD\nYOU PLEASE PRESS STAR SIX?\nJOANNA CULLEN, IF YOU ARE THERE,\nCOULD YOU HIT *6? OKAY,\nJOANNA, WE CAN CIRCLE BACK TO\nYOU. NEXT UP, SHIRLEY.\nHI, MY NAME IS SHIRLEY, AND\nIN MY 15 YEARS LIVING IN\nSEATTLE, I HAVE MOVED FIVE TIMES\nTO SAY HOUSING I CAN AFFORD. NO\nMATTER WHERE I HAVE MOVED, IT\nHAS ALWAYS MEANT LIVING ALONG A\nHIGH TRAFFIC HIGHWAY. THIS HAS\nCONTRIBUTED TO MY ASTHMA GETTING\nPROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT\nWHERE I HAVE TO USE MY INHALER\nEVERY SINGLE DAY WHERE I\nLITERALLY CAN'T BREATHE, AND I\nKNOW I AM NOT ALONE. [ INAUDIBLE\n] PUTTING DENSE HOUSING ALONG [\nINAUDIBLE ] INCREASES RATES OF\nASTHMA AND DEMENTIA. BUT YOU ALL\nHAVE AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY\nTO END THE PUBLIC HOUSING\nNIGHTMARE AND HELP COUNTLESS\nSEATTLEITES INCLUDING ME, SIMPLY\nBY ALLOWING MORE HOUSING TO BE\nBUILT ON QUIETER NEIGHBORHOOD\nSTREETS. SO, PLEASE EXTEND THE\nWIDTH OF CORRIDORS TO AT LEAST\nHALF A MILE WIDE IN EACH\nDIRECTION, AND [ INAUDIBLE ], SO\nTHAT MANY MORE SEATTLEITES [\nINAUDIBLE ] CAN LIVE LONG AND\nHEALTHY LIVES. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, SHIRLEY. THE NEXT\nFEW, WE ARE GOING TO DO DEB\nLESTER, LYNN, I WOULD LIKE TO\nCIRCLE BACK TO JESSICA DIXON, I\nSEE YOU ONLINE. BUT NEXT UP DEB\nLESTER. DEB, IF YOU COULD HIT\n*6. OKAY. MOVING ON, DEB, WE CAN\nCOME BACK TO YOU. LYNN, IF YOU\nARE THERE,*6.\nHELLO. MY NAME IS LYNN.\nDURING THIS LAST YEAR, SEATTLE\nCUT DOWN 1000-YEAR-OLD TREES.\nTHIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU OUGHT\nTO BE ASHAMED OF. IT'S BECAUSE\nOF THE POORER TREE POLICIES THAT\nSEATTLE HAS. YOU ALSO HAVE A\nCLIMATE POLICY THAT SAYS BUILD\nUP, NOT OUT, WHICH I AGREE WITH.\nYOU HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING\nPOLICY, WHICH I AGREE WITH, BUT\nYOU WILL NOT GET AFFORDABLE\nHOUSING BY LETTING PEOPLE BUILD\nALL THE WAY OUT TO THE EDGE OF\nTHE PROPERTY AND LEAVING NO ROOM\nFOR TREES. YOU WILL GET HOUSING\nTHAT IS INHOSPITABLE FOR PEOPLE\nWHO LIVE IN IT, LIKE THE WOMAN\nWHO JUST TESTIFIED BEFORE ME\nABOUT ASTHMA, TREES TAKE\nPOLLUTANTS OUT OF THE AIR, BUT\nTHEY HAVE [ INAUDIBLE ]. THEY\nPROTECT AGAINST HEAT ISLANDS, [\nINAUDIBLE ] BY THE AMOUNT OF --\n[ INAUDIBLE ]. I THINK THAT THAT\nWAS MY TIME. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nTHANK YOU, LYNN, YEAH. THANK\nYOU SO MUCH. IF YOU COULD EMAIL\nUS THE REST OF YOUR COMMENTS TO\nCOUNCIL@SEATTLE.GOV. THAT DINGED\nIS FOR OTHER FOLKS, USUALLY WHEN\nYOU HAVE 10 SECONDS REMAINING,\nYOU WILL HEAR A DING. THANK YOU\nSO MUCH, LYNN. JESSICA DIXON, IF\nYOU ARE PRESENT, COULD YOU HIT\n*6? JESSICA DIXON?\n[ INAUDIBLE ] CAN YOU HEAR\nME?\nYES, WE CAN, THANK YOU.\nHELLO, COUNCIL MEMBERS. I\nWOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY DENSITY\nALONE DOES NOT CREATE HEALTHY,\nWALKABLE NEIGHBORHOODS, AND\nSEATTLE'S NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS\nNEED FORESTS FOR DENSE HOUSING,\nSO PLEASE MAKE THE FOLLOWING\nCHANGES TO BUILD [ INAUDIBLE ]\nWHILE RETAINING HOUSING GOALS.\nREQUIRE AMENITY AREAS TO HAVE\nTREES , NOT JUST PAVEMENTS.\nAMEND [ INAUDIBLE ] TRAY\nRETENTION ENTRY PLANNING. AND [\nINAUDIBLE ] FOREST OPTIONS TO\nREPLACE STREET PARKING. AS\nPLANNED, NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS\nWILL BE 100% HARD SCAPE WITH NO\nSPACE FOR TREES. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nWOEFULLY INADEQUATE TO MEET\nCURRENT GOALS. ADDING THESE\nCHANGES [ INAUDIBLE ] DOES NOT\nAFFECT HOUSING CAPACITY AND\nWOULD BUILD HEALTHY, WALKABLE, [\nINAUDIBLE ] NEIGHBORHOOD\nCENTERS. FOR FUTURE SEATTLEITES.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, JESSICA. I WOULD\nLIKE TO CIRCLE BACK A COUPLE\nNAMES THAT WE CALLED EARLIER,\nJOANNA CULLEN AND DEB LESTER.\nJOANNA CULLEN, IF YOU'RE\nAVAILABLE, CAN YOU HIT *6?\nOKAY, MOVING ON TO DEB LESTER.\nIF YOU ARE AVAILABLE, COULD YOU\nHIT *6?\nHELLO, HI, MY NAME IS DEB\nLESTER, I'M SPEAKING ABOUT\nPROPOSAL [ INAUDIBLE ] OUR LOCKS\nWILL ESSENTIALLY BE 100%\nIMPERVIOUS WITH [ INAUDIBLE ].\nUSABLE GREEN SPACE, NOT LIMITED\nTO NEIGHBORHOODS. THE CITY\nPLANNED STREETSCAPE WILL\nMITIGATE TREE LOSS, HOWEVER, [\nINAUDIBLE ] THIS IS NOT\nPALPABLE. [ INAUDIBLE ] WITH THE\nEXCEPTION OF A FEW AREAS ON\nROOSEVELT NORTHEAST, [ INAUDIBLE\n] THERE ARE ESSENTIALLY NO\nSTREET TREES ON SIDE STREETS [\nINAUDIBLE ] NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER\nCURRENTLY. 90% OF ALL TREES IN\nTHE MAPLE LEAF NEIGHBORHOOD\nCENTER ARE PRIVATE PROPERTY. [\nINAUDIBLE ] PLEASE REQUIRE\nAMENITY AREAS [ INAUDIBLE ]\nAMEND THE GREEN FACTOR [\nINAUDIBLE ] AND PLANNING. WE CAN\nHAVE DENSITY AND TREES, AND WE\nALSO NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING.\nIT'S NOT REALLY HAPPENING WITH\nTHE CURRENT PLAN.\nTHANK YOU. WE HAVE A FEW MORE\nSPEAKERS, AND THEN WE WILL\nCIRCLE BACK TO ANYBODY WHO WE\nALREADY CALLED ON THAT DIDN'T\nGET A CHANCE TO SPEAK. SO, NEXT\nUP, THE NEXT FEW SPEAKERS ARE\nBONNIE WILLIAMS, MICHAEL\nELIASSON, AND CHRISTINA PEARSON\n.

[ INAUDIBLE ] HAS\nDEMONSTRATED NO FLEXIBILITY [\nINAUDIBLE ] FROM OUR INTERACTION\nTHE PAST FEW YEARS. IT IS UP TO\nYOU, THE COUNCIL, TO PLAN FOR\nGROWTH FOR NEWCOMERS AND\nLONG-TERM RESIDENTS. IN PHASE 2,\nWE WERE TOLD [ INAUDIBLE ] NEED\nTO NEGOTIATE THE HEIGHTS, AND\nTHAT NEGOTIATION HAS NOT\nHAPPENED. I WILL SEND A LOCATION\nMAP OF THE ACTUAL LOCATION TO\nTHE COUNCIL. AND --\nTHANK YOU, BONNIE, PLEASE GO\nAHEAD AND SEND THAT TO US.

[ INAUDIBLE ] SETBACKS IN\nLOW AND MIDRISE ZONES, THESE\nSUBSTANTIALLY [ INAUDIBLE ].\nCREATE AMENDMENTS LIKE THE\nCOMPLETE COMMUNITY COALITION\nCOURTYARD AND PASS OUT BONUSES.\nI WOULD LOVE TO HELP REFINE\nTHOSE BASED UPON MY EXPERIENCES\nLIVING AND WORKING IN GERMANY.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, MIKE. NEXT UP,\nCHRISTINA PEARSON.\nHELLO, CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES, WE CAN.\nTHANK YOU. MY NAME IS\nCHRISTINA PEARSON, I AM [\nINAUDIBLE ] . WE ACT ON BEHALF\nOF THE [ INAUDIBLE ] TRIBE. IS\nREPRESENTATIVE OF THE PEOPLE,\nTHE ORIGINAL STEWARDS OF THIS\nLAND, WE URGE YOU TO LISTEN TO\nTHE VOICES OF THE RESIDENCE BACK\nREGARDING THE PROPOSED CHANGES\nAND ZONING AROUND HOUSING .\nHOUSING IS A FUNDAMENTAL\nNECESSITY, IT IS VITAL THAT ANY\nCHANGES [ INAUDIBLE ] COMMUNITY\nMEMBERS WHO LIVE HERE. [\nINAUDIBLE ] UNDERSTOOD THE\nIMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY,\nBELONGING, AND [ INAUDIBLE ] .\nHONOR THAT LEGACY. MANY\nRESIDENTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN\nMARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES ARE\nDIRECTLY IMPACTED [ INAUDIBLE ].\nWE ASK THAT YOU PRIORITIZE OUR\nVOICES, ENSURING THAT THE\nPOLICIES ENSURE ACCESS TO\nHOUSING AND RESPECT OUR CULTURAL\nHERITAGE AND STEWARDS OF THIS\nLAND, AND ALSO, PLEASE, [\nINAUDIBLE ].

I AM URGING THE COUNCIL\nTO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO THE\nCOMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO STOP\nPUSHING HOUSING ONTO ARTERIALS,\nTHAT IS TERRIBLE FOR HUMAN\nHEALING, FOR HUMAN HEALTH. I\nURGE YOU TO EXPAND HOUSING\nDENSITY BEYOND ARTERIAL. [\nINAUDIBLE ] THAT CAN INCREASE\nFLOOR AREA RATIOS. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nAND A HIGHER FLOOR AREA RATIO\nAND MORE HOMES WITHOUT [\nINAUDIBLE ]. AFFORDABLE UNITS\nGET CREATED WITHOUT [ INAUDIBLE\n] OR JUST INCREASE HOUSING\nVARIETY, ALLOW SMALLER SETBACKS\n[ INAUDIBLE ] . AND LASTLY,\nGREEN BUILDING STANDARDS.

GOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS\nEMILY PINKY, I'M A PARENT, AND\n[ INAUDIBLE ] THE STREETS OUR\nCHILDREN WALK TO SCHOOL EVERY\nDAY ARE ALREADY UNSAFE. EVERY\nMORNING ON 40th AVENUE, I SEE\nDRIVERS SPEEDING THROUGH THE\nFLASHING CROSSWALKS [ INAUDIBLE\n] THESE STREETS ENCOUNTER ON OUR\nSUNNY DAYS. STREETS ALONG THAT\nCORRIDOR [ INAUDIBLE ] MAKE AN\nALREADY RISKY SITUATION WORSE. [\nINAUDIBLE ] BLINDING SON THAT\nDRIVERS CAN'T SEE PEDESTRIANS\nTHROUGH. I HAVE A SIMPLE\nQUESTION, HOW MUCH MORE CAN\nTHESE STREETS ACTUALLY TAKE\nCUSTOMER THERE ARE NO PASSING\nLANES ON EITHER AND THERE IS\nNOWHERE TO ADD THEM. [ INAUDIBLE\n] WITHOUT A CLEAR PLAN FOR\nSAFETY. [ INAUDIBLE ] NOT\nMAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT\nEVERYWHERE.

DAVID HILL,\nSARAH DAVIS, AND MELISSA. ANN\nTYSON , [ INAUDIBLE ]. OKAY,\nMOVING ON, DAVID HILL, YOU ARE\nUP NEXT.\nGOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS\nDAVID HILL. I HAVE LIVED IN\nSEATTLE FOR 15 YEARS AND I AM A\nMEMBER OF [ INAUDIBLE ]. LAST\nYEAR, I MOVED TO THE ROOSEVELT\nNEIGHBORHOOD, SPECIFICALLY\nBECAUSE OF ITS DENSITY AND THE\nFACT THAT IT IS THE NEXUS OF\nSEVERAL MAJOR TRANSIT CORRIDOR\nIS. LIVING THERE, I SEE OUR\nVISION FOR SEATTLE ACTUALLY\nWORKING FANTASTICALLY, BOTH FOR\nME AND MY NEIGHBORS, BUT IT\nSHOULDN'T BE A LUXURY. WE\nSHOULDN'T TREAT OUR HOUSING\nSHORTAGE LIKE A MYSTERIOUS\nNATURAL DISASTER WHEN IT IS\nACTUALLY A POLICY CHOICE. I AM\nASKING YOU TO BUILD ON [\nINAUDIBLE ] AND MAXIMIZE THAT\nMODEL EVERYWHERE. PUSH THE\nDENSITY LIMITS [ INAUDIBLE ] AS\nFAR AS THEY CAN GO. BEYOND JUST\nHOUSING, IF WE DON'T BUILD UP,\nWE CRAWL OUT, WHICH IS THE WORST\nTHING WE CAN DO FOR OUR\nENVIRONMENT. IT'S TIME TO STOP\nBEING TIMID WITH THE MAPS AND\nMAKE IT LEGAL FOR MORE PEOPLE [\nINAUDIBLE ]. THANK YOU FOR YOUR\nTIME.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT UP, SARAH\nDAVIS.\nHI, I AM A RESIDENT OF\nNORTHEAST SEATTLE. I AM HERE TO\nCALL OUT THIS PERFORMATIVE\nENGAGEMENT PROCESS [ INAUDIBLE\n]. THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS HAVE\nSUBMITTED COMMENTS AND PETITIONS\nASKING TO HAVE THEIR VOICES\nHEARD IN HOW THEIR BELOVED\nNEIGHBORHOODS GROW AND BECOME\nMORE DENSE. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nRESIDENTS HAVE BEEN TOLD BY\nCOUNCILMEMBERS THAT FIGHTING\nTHIS IS POINTLESS, THE VOTES ARE\nNOT THERE, THE COUNCIL DOESN'T\nCARE ABOUT [ INAUDIBLE ], THE\nCOUNCIL AND THE MAYOR WANT A\nMORE EXTREME PLAN, NOT A\nMODERATE ONE. IN MY\nNEIGHBORHOOD, THE PEOPLE WHO\nWILL BE DISPLACED ARE A SINGLE\nMOTHER WITH TWO CHILDREN, AN\nELDERLY COUPLE, AND AN ELDERLY\nWIDOW, A DISABLED VETERAN, OLDER\nRENTALS -- RENTERS LIVE IN\nAFFORDABLE APARTMENTS. [\nINAUDIBLE ] WILL ONLY LEAD TO\nLAWSUITS, DELAYS, AND MORE JUST\nVISION. WE ARE SEEING I THE\nNATIONAL LEVEL AND HERE IN\nSEATTLE THAT PEOPLE IN POWER\nDON'T ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THE\nDEMOCRATIC PROCESS, THEY ONLY\nSPEAK FOR THEIR OWN POLITICAL\nAGENDA. [ INAUDIBLE ] PRETENDS\nTO HELP POOR PEOPLE WHEN IN FACT\nIT MOSTLY HELPS RICH DEVELOPERS.\nTHANK YOU, SARAH. NEXT UP,\nMELISSA NAIR.\nGOOD MORNING, I'M EXECUTIVE\nDIRECTOR OF A.I. SEATTLE. AN\nORGANIZATION WITH 2600 MEMBERS\nWHO ENVISIONS BATTLE AS A FIFTH\nTEEN MINUTE LIVABLE THAT HE WITH\nHOUSING, AMENITIES, AND TRANSIT\nVISIBLE TO EVERYONE, INCREASING\nTHE SUPPLY OF HOUSING IS\nESSENTIAL TO THIS MISSION. WE\nASK THE COMMUNITY TO CONSIDER\nKEY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CENTER\nAND CORRIDOR IS LEGISLATION BY\nINCREASING POTENTIAL PLACES FOR\nNEW HOUSING BY EXPANDING CORE\nDOORS, ADDING MORE NEIGHBORHOOD\nCENTERS, AND MAKING SURE ZONING\nIS CONSISTENT WITH THE RACIAL\nAND [ INAUDIBLE ] INDEX. [\nINAUDIBLE ] MAKING IT EASIER TO\nCREATE HOUSING , AND CERTAINLY\nUNDER THOSE CURRENT STRUCTURES,\nMISSING PROJECTS ARE TOO COSTLY\nFOR DEVELOPERS AND NOT BEING\nBUILT, SO FUNDS ARE NOT BEING\nRAISED. [ INAUDIBLE ] TO ADDRESS\nTHIS BARRIER. AND FINALLY, [\nINAUDIBLE ] EVALUATE HOUSING\nPRODUCTION ACROSS THE CITY.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, MELISSA. RICK K, I\nSEE THAT YOU HAVE LOGGED BACK\nIN. SINCE YOU WERE DISCONNECTED\nEARLIER, WE WILL GO AHEAD AND --\nLET'S GO BACK AND START YOUR\nTESTIMONY OVER, SO WE WILL GIVE\nYOU ONE MINUTE.\nTHANK YOU. LET'S BE CLEAR.\nZONING IS NOT THE SAME AS\nGROWTH. [ INAUDIBLE ] BRINGS\nHIGHER COSTS AND SIMPLY\nPRIORITIZES INFLATION OVER\nINFILL, WHICH IS NEITHER SOUND\nNOR COMPASSIONATE COUNCIL, YOU\nHAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW\nTHE TRUTH AND TELL THE TRUTH.\nYOU DON'T GET TO HIDE BEHIND\nEXCUSES BEING LED BY CITY STAFF\nAND HEAVY LOBBYING AND\nPROPAGANDA FROM THE INVESTMENT\nCOMPANIES. YOU HAVE A\nRESPONSIBILITY TO BE GOOD\nSTEWARDS OF THE CITY [ INAUDIBLE\n]. THE CURRENT PROPOSAL NOT ONLY\nDOES IT CAPTURE ZONING VALUE FOR\nCURRENT PUBLIC BENEFIT, THEY\nALSO PREVENT FUTURE CITY\nGOVERNMENTS FROM GETTING FAIR\nVALUE [ INAUDIBLE ]. THE CURRENT\nPLAN [ INAUDIBLE ] GIVEAWAY FAR\nBEYOND WHAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE\nFILLED, WITH NO PROMISE OF\nACTUAL GROWTH IN RETURN. ENABLES\nTHEM TO SUE THE FUTURE\nADMINISTRATIONS IF THEY TRY TO\nMAKE THEM PAY A FAIR SHARE. NONE\nOF YOU WILL BE IN OFFICE FOREVER\nBUT IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING AND\nTHIS TIME, PLEASE [ INAUDIBLE ].\nTHIS PUBLIC COMMENT PROCESS IS\nFOR MONOLOG ONLY, NOT REALLY\nENGAGEMENT, WHICH IS WHAT IS\nNEEDED FOR ACTUAL CITIZEN\nINVOLVEMENT AND NOT CORPORATE\nCAPTURE.\nTHANK YOU, RICK. THE NEXT\nGROUP OF SPEAKERS WILL BE -- AND\nWE ARE UP TO NUMBER 12, SO, IT\nWILL BE JEFF , JOHNSON, SARAH\nSCOTT, AND MEGAN CRUZ, SO WE\nWILL START WITH JEFF FRIEDMAN.\nHELLO, THANK YOU, MY NAME IS\nJEFF FRIEDMAN, I AM A PARTNER\nWITH [ INAUDIBLE ] ARCHITECTS,\nSPECIALIZING IN AFFORDABLE\nHOUSING. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nTHROUGHOUT SEATTLE. IN\nPARTICULAR, I WANT TO ADDRESS [\nINAUDIBLE ] CENTER. [ INAUDIBLE\n] THE ISAAC CULVER HOUSE, [\nINAUDIBLE ] . THE ISAAC OVER\nHOUSE IS PROVIDING SENIOR\nHOUSING FOR 75 YEARS. [\nINAUDIBLE ] 140 UNITS [\nINAUDIBLE ] . CERTAINLY SPLIT\nZONES. [ INAUDIBLE ] OR THE REAR\nPORTION OF THE PARCEL IS ZONED\nFOR RESIDENTIAL. EXISTING USE\nPREDATES THE ZONING\nSPECIFICATION. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nUSUALLY CREATED BY ACCIDENT. THE\nPROPERTY LINES ARE DIFFICULT [\nINAUDIBLE ]. THEY ARE EXTREMELY\nCHALLENGING TO DEVELOP. THE\nCURRENT PROPOSAL DOES NOT\nRECOGNIZE [ INAUDIBLE ] AND\nPERPETUATES THE SPLIT ZONE. [\nINAUDIBLE ] JUST ENOUGH TO\nINCLUDE THE ENTIRE PARCEL [\nINAUDIBLE ] .\nTHANK YOU, JEFF. NEXT UP,\nJOHNSON.\nTHANK YOU, CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES.\nTHE RIGHT NOW, I AM LISTENING\nTO A CHAINSAW. THEY ARE CUTTING\nA LOT AND NEW YEAR WHERE\nAFFORDABLE HOUSING WAS TORN DOWN\nFOR LUXURY DEVELOPMENT. [\nINAUDIBLE ] DOUBLE DOWN ON WHAT\nHAS BEEN A PLAN OF\nGENTRIFICATION AND DISPLACEMENT\nDRIVEN BY [ INAUDIBLE ] AND\nPRIVATE EQUITY. DENSITY ALONE\nDOES NOT MAKE THE CITY\nAFFORDABLE OR LIVABLE, AND [\nINAUDIBLE ] SIMPLY PERPETUATES A\nPATTERN OF ANY QUALITY. INSTEAD\nOF BUILDING TALLER AND FASTER, I\nURGE THE COUNCIL TO PAUSE. THERE\nIS NO LEGAL DEADLINE TO RUSH\nTHROUGH [ INAUDIBLE ]. CHANGING\nOVERNIGHT. THIS PLAN IS OUT OF\nDATE ALREADY. 2025 [ INAUDIBLE ]\nJANUARY, OVER 19,000. PAUSE,\nSTUDY HOW [ INAUDIBLE ] IS\nWORKING, READ THE NEW RESEARCH,\nLOOK AT CITIES LIKE CHARLESTON .\nNEIGHBORHOODS ARE INVITED TO\nPARTICIPATE IN PLANNING TO\nCREATE A TRULY AFFORDABLE AND\nLIVABLE CITY, THANK YOU VERY\nMUCH.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT UP, SARAH\nSCOTT. NEXT UP , MEGAN CRUZ.\nGOOD MORNING. I AM MEGAN\nCRUZ, A DOWNTOWN RESIDENT WITH\nTWO REQUESTS. THE FIRST IS TO\nSIMPLY PUBLISH A FUTURE LAND USE\nMAP FOR DOWNTOWN. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nDECISIONS REQUIRE A TRANSPARENT\nFRAMEWORK FOR RESIDENTS TO SEE.\nSECOND, WE NEED LAND-USE\nPOLICY-BASED AND RESEARCH AND\nFAX [ INAUDIBLE ]. A MAJOR\nBUILDING BOOM HAS NOT PRODUCED [\nINAUDIBLE ]. 27% OF UNITS\nDOWNTOWN ARE [ INAUDIBLE ]\nOCCASIONALLY OCCUPIED, TWICE THE\nRATE [ INAUDIBLE ]. RESEARCH\nWARNS THAT [ INAUDIBLE ] AND\nRISING LAND PRICES, PUSHING\nAFFORDABILITY EVEN FURTHER UP\nAND OUT OF REACH. IT IS TIME TO\n[ INAUDIBLE ] LAND VALUE\nRECAPTURE, AND RESIDENTIAL\nCONVERSION OF THE HISTORIC\nBUILDING. DOWNTOWN WILL BECOME\nSEATTLE'S LARGEST NEIGHBORHOOD\n, AND IT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO\nALL. [ INAUDIBLE ] POLICY NEEDS\nTO BE TRANSPARENT,\nEVIDENCE-BASED, AND FOCUS ON\nREAL AFFORDABILITY OUTCOMES.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU. AND WE ARE GOING\nTO GO BACK TO AN EARLIER\nSPEAKER, SHOW ALVAREZ, IF YOU\nCOULD PRESS*6.\nCAN YOU HEAR ME: CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES.\nGREAT, THANKS. FELLOW\nCOUNCILMEMBERS, MY NAME IS\nALVAREZ AND I AM HERE TODAY ON\nBEHALF OF THE SEATTLE PLANNING\nCOMMISSION. THE PLANNING %\nCOMMISSION ADOPTS -- SUPPORTS\nTHE ADOPTION OF [ INAUDIBLE ].\nIMPLEMENTATION OF THIS NEW MODEL\n[ INAUDIBLE ] MORE AFFORDABLE\nHOMES NEAR AMENITIES, SERVICES,\nAND JOBS, ALLOWS US TO [\nINAUDIBLE ] MORE EQUITABLY TO\nMEET THE FUTURE. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nPREVIOUSLY EXPRESSED OUR\nCONCERNS ABOUT CONCENTRATING ON\n[ INAUDIBLE ] . WE WOULD LIKE TO\nSEE [ INAUDIBLE ] THE MITIGATION\nOF NEGATIVE PUBLIC HEALTH\nIMPACTS [ INAUDIBLE ]. IT'S\nFUTURE LAND USE MAP IS\nFINALIZED. [ INAUDIBLE ] THE\nCOMMISSION FURTHERMORE SUPPORTS\n[ INAUDIBLE ] AND THE BOUNDARIES\nOF CORRIDOR ZONES. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU. AND TO SARAH\nSCOTT, IF YOU WANT TO CALL BACK\nIN, WE CAN CIRCLE BACK TO YOU,\nBUT THE NEXT UP ON THE LIST IS\n-- WE HAVE A FEW. OH, LOOKS LIKE\nSARAH SCOTT, ARE YOU PRESENT? IF\nYOU COULD HIT*6, YOU'RE NEXT.\nHI.\nHI.\nOH, HI. YES, THANK YOU, GOOD\nMORNING. I AM A SENIOR AND A\nSINGLE MOM. MY SON, WHO HAS A\nDISABILITY, AND I LIVE TOGETHER\nON A FIXED INCOME. I WAS BORN\nAND RAISED IN SEATTLE. I RAISED\nMY OLDER CHILDREN AND OUR FAMILY\nAT HOME. I JUST WANT TO SAY, THE\nDISPLACEMENT IS REAL FOR PEOPLE\nLIKE US AND OTHERS, SENIORS,\nPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES,\nVETERANS, AND MORE. I AM TALKING\nABOUT A SMALL AREA ON NORTHEAST\n45th BETWEEN 40th AND 45th\nAVENUE. THIS AREA REALLY\nDOESN'T EVEN FOLLOW INTO YOUR\nOWN GUIDELINES. I WOULD LIKE TO\nKNOW, WHY CAN'T WE SWITCH THIS\nAREA, PLEASE? WHY IS IT STOPPING\nUS FROM -- WHAT IS STOPPING US\nFROM SWITCHING THIS SMALL AREA\nTO ONE THAT IS MUCH BETTER\nSUITED? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR\nLISTENING TO ME.\nTHANK YOU, SARAH. THE NEXT\nGROUP OF FOLKS , WE WILL START\nAT NUMBER 16, IT IS JUDY\nBANDAGE, RUBY HOLLAND, MORGAN ,\nJIM GANTZ, BUT ACTUALLY, BEFORE\nWE GET TO THAT GROUP, I SEE A\nPRIOR SPEAKER, ANN TYSON, IF YOU\nARE THERE, WE WILL GO TO YOU\nFIRST. ANN TYSON, IF YOU COULD\nPRESS*6.\nCAN YOU HEAR ME: CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES. GO AHEAD, ANN.\nHELLO: HELLO?\nYES, WE CAN HEAR YOU.\nGOOD MORNING. I KNOW YOU WANT\nTHE BEST ZONING SOLUTION AND SO\nDOES MY NEIGHBORHOOD IN\nNORTHEAST SEATTLE DISTRICT 4. IT\nIS ALREADY BUILDING MORE THAN\n1000 NEW UNITS AND THOUSANDS\nMORE [ INAUDIBLE ]. SEVERAL\nAREAS ARE PROPOSED FOR THREE OR\nFIVE STORY BUILDINGS. [\nINAUDIBLE ] MY NEIGHBORS HAVE\nPETITIONED TO SHIFT ONE SMALL [\nINAUDIBLE ] TO A DIFFERENT\nLOCATION RIGHT INSIDE OUR\nNEIGHBORHOOD THAT CAN PRODUCE AS\nMANY OR MORE NEW UNITS. WHY DO\nWE WANT THIS SWITCH? A BETTER\nLOCATION, IT'S CLOSE TO A\nCOMMERCIAL AREA WITH A PHARMACY,\nGROCERY STORE, AND MULTIPLE\nTRANSIT LINES. IT CONNECTS TO\nOTHER LOWRISE [ INAUDIBLE ]\nAREAS WITH SOME HIGHER HEIGHTS\nALREADY. DISPLACEMENT IS\nUNLIKELY THERE. IN CONTRAST, THE\nAREA NOW SLATED FOR UP ZONE, [\nINAUDIBLE ], HAS NONE OF THESE\nBENEFITS . IT'S CHALLENGING TO\nWALK, LIMITED TRANSIT, AND\nLITERALLY NO SHOPS. SO,\nDISPLACEMENT ALSO IS A REAL\nTHREAT HERE FOR SENIOR CITIZENS\nON FIXED INCOME. PLEASE SUPPORT\nTHIS SWITCH AND MAKE THE PLAN\nMORE SUCCESSFUL BY LISTENING TO\nTHE GRASSROOTS. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, ANN. NEXT UP,\nJUDY.\nGOOD MORNING, MY NAME IS\nJUDY, I SENT TWO LETTERS TO THE\nCOUNCIL. ONE ADDRESSING THE MAP\n009 [ INAUDIBLE ]. AND LR-2 AND\nLR-3 WOULD ELIMINATE A GREEN\nPARK AREA THAT HAS BEEN IN THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD WELL OVER 50 YEARS.\nIT IS RIGHT IN BACK OF THE\nCOMMUNITY CENTER AND SENIOR\nHOUSING, AND THAT SHOULD BE\nREJECTED IN ITS ENTIRETY. THE\nSECOND LETTER ADDRESSED THE MAP\n095 THAT WOULD [ INAUDIBLE ]\nLR-3 AND WOULD DRAMATICALLY\nREDUCE THE SIZE OF [ INAUDIBLE ]\nIN THE NORTH NATIONAL HISTORIC\nDISTRICT, WHICH THE PREVIOUS --\nONE OF THE PREVIOUS COUNCILS IN\n2019 UNANIMOUSLY VOTED NOT TO\nUPSELL. SO, PLEASE LEAVE BOTH OF\nTHESE AREAS INTACT. AND I, ALONG\nWITH OTHERS WHO HAVE ALREADY\nSPOKEN, REALLY OBJECT TO THE\nLACK OF PUBLIC NOTICE AND\nOUTREACH, WHICH SHOULD HAVE\nSTARTED FROM THE GROUND UP, SO\nTHAT EVERYONE HAD THE\nOPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT ON IT.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, JUDY. NEXT UP,\nRUBY HOLLAND.\nYES, MY NAME IS RUBY HOLLAND.\nTHE CORRIDOR [ INAUDIBLE ] STILL\nUSING THE URBAN VILLAGE [\nINAUDIBLE ] MINORITIES AND\nWORKING-CLASS HOMEOWNERS [\nINAUDIBLE ]. SEATTLE WILL NEVER\nHAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IF THESE\nRICH PEOPLE ARE THE ONLY ONES\nALLOWED TO OWN LAND. AFFORDABLE\nHOUSING IS IMPORTANT TO\nEVERYONE, BUT NOT AT THE CITY'S\nEXPENSE. WE HAVE HAD OUR SHARE\nOF UP ZONING AND DISPLACEMENTS.\n[ INAUDIBLE ] MANDATED FOR\nFORMER REDLINE COMMUNITIES. THE\nANTI-DISPLACEMENT PLAN MENTIONED\n[ INAUDIBLE ] IS INADEQUATE AND\nUNTRUE FOR KEEPING PEOPLE\nHOUSED. WE WATCHED MORE HOUSING\nGET BILLED AFTER PASSING [\nINAUDIBLE ] IN 2019, AND WE ALSO\nWATCHED CITY COUNCIL APPROVED\n$3181 RENT FOR A TWO BEDROOM [\nINAUDIBLE ] LOW INCOME APARTMENT\nIN NOVEMBER OF 2000.\nTHANK YOU, RUBY. NEXT UP, BOB\nMORGAN.\nCAN YOU HEAR ME: CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES, WE CAN.\nHELLO? GREAT. THIS COUNCIL\nBILL WOULD USE THOSE LANES\nTHROUGHOUT THE CITY THROUGH THE\n[ INAUDIBLE ] ZONE WHERE IT\nSHARES BOUNDARIES WITH THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONE.\nTHIS ABRUPT TRANSITIONS ARE\nCONTRARY TO THE CITY'S LAND USE\n[ INAUDIBLE ] AN EXPLICIT\nPROVISION AND LAND USE CODE THAT\nCOMPLIANCE WITH THE RECENT\nCRITERIA CONSTITUTES CONSISTENCY\nWITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.\nALSO, ANOTHER CODE REQUIREMENT\nTHERE IS THAT THE RECORD REPORT\nINCLUDED AN EVALUATION OF THE\nAPPLICABLE REASONS. THESE\nCONDITIONS MAKE THIS PROPOSAL\nSUBJECT TO LEGAL CHALLENGE. WE\nRECOMMEND WITHIN 50 FEET OF THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL LOT,\nCHANGE-UP ZONES TO L1 OR L2. [\nINAUDIBLE ] IF THESE TWO ITEMS\nARE INACCESSIBLE, PLEASE AT\nLEAST LIMIT [ INAUDIBLE ] USE L2\nNEXT TO NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL\nZONES AND DEMAND [ INAUDIBLE ]\nBY THE DIRECTORS REPORT. [\nINAUDIBLE ] MORE DETAIL ON THESE\nQUOTES.\nTHANK YOU, JIM. THE NEXT\nGROUP OF SPEAKERS, WE ARE UP TO\nSPEAKER NUMBER 20, IT IS LYLE ,\nMAGGIE LEWIS, CHARLES, ALEXANDER\nJOHNSON, AND PATRICK TAYLOR. OH,\nSORRY, NEXT UP, JIM GANN\nACTUALLY, YOU ARE NUMBER 19.\nPLEASE GO.\nCOUNCILMEMBERS, I AM 100%\nDISABLED VETERAN LIVING ON A\nFIXED INCOME. I AM HERE BECAUSE\nI AM CONCERNED ABOUT\nDISPLACEMENT IN THE SMALL\nRESIDENTIAL STRIP OF NORTHEAST\n45th STREET, NOT JUST FOR ME,\nFOR MY NEIGHBOR, ALSO A DISABLED\nVETERAN, AND SEVERAL SENIOR\nCITIZENS ON OUR BLOCK WHO WANT\nNOTHING MORE THAN TO REMAIN IN\nTHEIR HOMES. UP ZONING THIS\nSMALL STRIP COULD RAISE PROPERTY\nTAXES AND FINANCIAL PRESSURE TO\nA POINT WHERE PEOPLE LIKE US ARE\nFORCED OUT. THIS ISN'T JUST A\nNEIGHBORHOOD, IT'S A COMMUNITY.\nTHESE ARE MY FRIENDS AND WE\nBUILT OUR LIVES HERE TOGETHER,\nAND THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE FOR\nTHIS KIND OF CHANGE. STEEP\nSLOPES, NO SERVICES, LIMITED\nTRANSIT. THIS AREA CANNOT\nSUPPORT WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED.\nWE HAVE IDENTIFIED A BETTER\nLOCATION NEARBY THAT CAN HAVE\nTHE SAME NUMBER OF UNITS WITH\nBETTER SUPPORTING\nINFRASTRUCTURE, WITHOUT\nDISPLACING PEOPLE LIKE ME.\nPLEASE HELP PROTECT THIS\nCOMMUNITY AND MOVE THIS ZONING\nTO WHERE IT TRULY WORKS. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU, JIM. NEXT UP,\nLYLE. -- LYLE. IF YOU COULD\nPRESS'S*6.\nHI, I AM LILA, I AM A\nCLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST AND I HAVE\nRAISED THREE KIDS HERE ON QUEEN\nANNE. PLEASE SLOW DOWN. WHAT WE\nARE MISSING IS A GOAL OF\nCITYWIDE PLAN FOR NEW PUBLIC\nAMENITIES AND PUBLIC TREES THAT\nWILL [ INAUDIBLE ] WRAP EVERY\nNEIGHBORHOOD IN A GREEN EMBRACE.\nTHE ONE SEATTLE PLAN HAS SHOWN\nUS HOW FUTURE GROWTH WILL BE\nBALANCED. WITH THE PUBLIC\nSPACES, WE NEED TO RETAIN THE\nCITY'S QUALITY OF LIFE AND [\nINAUDIBLE ]. AS NEIGHBORHOODS\nPREPARE FOR GROWTH, WE NEED TO\nSEE HOW LIVABILITY WILL BE\nSUPPORTED WITH THE NEW PUBLIC\nAMENITIES SUCH AS PAUSES,\nCOURTYARDS, PARKS, TRAILS,\nBOULEVARDS, AND TREES. REDUCING\nTHE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS FOR\nBUILDING AND HOUSES WILL LEAD TO\nAN INCONSISTENT, CHAOTIC ZIGZAG\nDESIGN [ INAUDIBLE ].\nTHANK YOU. AND BEFORE WE MOVE\nON TO OUR NEXT SPEAKER, I JUST\nWANT TO REMIND ANY MEMBER OF THE\nPUBLIC WHO MIGHT WANT TO SPEAK\nREMOTELY THIS MORNING, THE\nSIGN-UP DEADLINE IS AT 10:30, SO\nYOU STILL HAVE TIME TO SIGN UP.\nNEXT UP, MAGGIE --\nHELLO: HELLO?\nNEXT UP IS MAGGIE LEWIS. [\nINAUDIBLE ]\nHELLO. I'M SPEAKING FROM\nWEST SEATTLE ABOUT MAP 184 ,\nABOUT THE EAST SIDE OF 46th\nAVENUE SOUTHWEST BETWEEN\nSOUTHWEST [ INAUDIBLE ], WHICH\nIS PROPOSED TO BE UP ZONE FROM\nNR TO LR-3. [ INAUDIBLE ] AN\nINADEQUATE STREET TO SUPPORT THE\nDEVELOPMENT OF FIVE-STORY,\nMULTIUNIT STRUCTURES IN TERMS OF\nSAFETY AND UTILITY SUPPORT. THE\nSTREET IS ONLY 16 FEET WIDE,\nTHERE IS ONLY ONE THREE-FOOT\nWIDE SIDEWALK THAT HAS NO\nPARKING STRIP. PEOPLE FROM\nCANETTI RETIREMENT [ INAUDIBLE\n]. EMERGENCY VEHICLES AND SIRENS\nAT TIMES CANNOT MAKE THE TURNS\nON 46 SOUTHWEST OR SOUTHWEST\nMYRTLE BECAUSE OF [ INAUDIBLE ].\nIN ADDITION, REGULAR SIZED [\nINAUDIBLE ] CAN'T SERVE THIS\nSTREET AND THE CITY MUST ALREADY\nSEND SMALLER TRUCKS TO SERVE US.\nBECAUSE OF THESE SAFETY --\nTHANK YOU, MAGGIE. NEXT UP,\nCHARLES.\nGOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS\nCHARLES TRAFFORD, I'M SPEAKING\nREGARDING THE ONE SEATTLE PLAN.\nTHE CITY NEEDS TO ADDRESS\nDENSITY, BUT THE SCOPE OF THIS\nIS FAR BEYOND WHAT IS\nREASONABLE. WE NEED THOUGHTFUL,\nWELL-PLANNED ZONING THAT OFFERS\nBOTH DENSITY AND LIVABILITY. [\nINAUDIBLE ] CONSIDER THE\nINFRASTRUCTURE, NONE OF IT WAS\nEVER DESIGNED FOR THIS. 35th AND\n75th AVENUE ARE GRIDLOCKED AT\nRUSH HOUR. HIS 75th, TWO LANE\nROAD, IS ONLY EAST-WEST ACCESS\nTO THE FREEWAY FOR THE ROUGHLY\n40,000 PEOPLE LIVING IN\nNEIGHBORHOODS FROM I-5 TO LAKE\nWASHINGTON. ADDING THOUSANDS\nMORE WILL EXPONENTIALLY COMPOUND\nTHE PROBLEM. I SUGGEST REDUCING\nTHE SCOPE OF THE PLAN AND\nREDUCING THE ZONING HEIGHT TO\nFOUR STORIES AND MAXIMUM. I ALSO\nSUGGEST CONSIDERING DEVELOPING\nIN A NEIGHBORHOOD ON LAKE CITY\nWAY [ INAUDIBLE ]. THIS AREA HAS\nAPPROPRIATE ACCESS AND IS\nGREATLY UNDERDEVELOPED. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU, CHARLES. NEXT UP,\nALEXANDER JOHNSON.\nHI, CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES, WE CAN, THANK YOU.\nOKAY, GOOD MORNING,\nCOUNCILMEMBERS, THANK YOU. I\nNAME IS ALEXANDRA JOHNSON AND I\nAM HERE ON BEHALF OF [ INAUDIBLE\n] AND SPECIFICALLY TO COMMENT ON\nTHE PLANNED ZONING OF THE NEW\nNEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. THE SOUTH\nPARK MEDIUM HOUSING INCOME IS [\nINAUDIBLE ], AND LOW INCOME\nRENTERS HERE ARE DISPLACED AT\nFOUR TIMES THE RATE OF [\nINAUDIBLE ]. YET, EVERY ZONING\nCURRENTLY PROPOSED FOR OUR\nCENTER [ INAUDIBLE ] REQUIRING A\nMINIMUM 60% AMI, WITH\nDEVELOPMENT MORE LIKELY TO\nACCOMMODATE [ INAUDIBLE ]. THAT\nMEANS VIRTUALLY NOTHING BEING\nBUILT WILL BE AFFORDABLE TO THE\nFAMILIES THAT ALREADY LIVE HERE,\nAND [ INAUDIBLE ] OR OWNERSHIP\nINSECURITY [ INAUDIBLE ]. PLEASE\nCONVERT ALL LR-1 ZONING TO LR-3.\nRESEARCH ALSO SHOWS THAT [\nINAUDIBLE ] TO SERVE ZERO TO 80%\nAMI HOUSEHOLDS. THERE IS\nCURRENTLY ZERO PLANNED ZONING IN\nSOUTH PARK. WE URGE THE COUNCIL\nTO ADOPT AFFORDABLE HOUSING\nOVERLAY ZONES ACROSS ALL [\nINAUDIBLE ].\nTHANK YOU, ALEXANDRA. WE ARE\nUP TO SPEAKER NUMBER 24. I'M\nGOING TO NAME OFF A FEW NAMES.\nPATRICK TAYLOR, IF YOU ARE OUT\nTHERE, PLEASE CALL IN. BETH\nBIRNBAUM, MARILYN SMITH, AND\nCOLLEEN. LET'S SEE, PATRICK\nTAYLOR, LOOKS LIKE WE MIGHT NEED\nTO CIRCLE BACK TO YOU. SO, NEXT\nUP, BETH BIRNBAUM , IF YOU COULD\nHIT*6, PLEASE.\nGOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU: GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU\nFOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. I\nAM CALLING IN IS A NORTHEAST\nSEATTLE DISTRICT 4 RESIDENT,\nREGARDING THE PROPOSED CHANGE A\nNORTHEAST 46th STREET FROM 40th\nAVENUE NORTHEAST TO THE 48th\nAVENUE NORTHEAST. NOT ALIGNED\nWITH THE CITY PLAN, WHICH\nPRIORITIZES [ INAUDIBLE ]\nNEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS. IT IS NOT.\nLOOKING AT A VERY STEEP GRADE.\nSO, IT'S NOT WALKABLE, IT DOES\nNOT HAVE NEARBY COMMERCIAL\nSERVICES. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nNEIGHBORS IN THE AREA REPORT\nUSING [ INAUDIBLE ]. AND IT'S A\nMUCH MORE SUITABLE AREA FOR\nBUILDING ADDITIONAL HOUSING\nWITHOUT DISPLACING CURRENT\nRESIDENTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR\nTIME.\nTHANK YOU. LET'S SEE. NEXT\nUP, MARILYN SMITH.\nGOOD MORNING. THE DIRECTORS\nREPORT FOR THE PROPOSED [\nINAUDIBLE ] AND CORRIDOR'S\nLEGISLATION THAT IS BEFORE YOU\nSAYS, \"NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS ARE\nLOCATED ALONG EXISTING\nCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITY AND FREQUENT\nTRANSIT ACCESS\" PRIORITIZE THE\nWORD AND. [ INAUDIBLE ] WHERE\nPEOPLE COULD WALK AND GET\nTRANSIT TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR\nDAILY NEEDS, SO THEY DO NOT HAVE\nTHE NEED FOR CARS. HOWEVER, THE\nLEGISLATION YOU PASSED IN\nDECEMBER DEFINES NEIGHBORHOOD\nCENTERS AS PLACES LOCATED AROUND\nA COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR AND/OR\nACCESS TO FREQUENT TRANSIT. BY\nTHAT DEFINITION, A NEIGHBORHOOD\nCENTER CAN BE IN ANY PLACE WITH\nFREQUENT TRANSIT, WHETHER OR NOT\nIT HAS AMENITIES , OR PLACES\nWITH SOME AMENITIES, WITH NO\nACCESS TO TRANSIT. I DON'T\nTHINK THAT'S WHAT YOU INTENDED.\nPLEASE GO BACK AND AMEND THE\nORDINANCE AND TAKE OUT THE\nAND/OR. IT CAN BE AND AND/OR.\nTHANK YOU, MARILYN. AND FOR\nANYONE WHO IS UNABLE TO COMPLETE\nYOUR TESTIMONY, PLEASE GO AHEAD\nAND EMAIL US THE REMAINDER OR\nYOUR COMPLETE TESTIMONY. NEXT\nUP, COLLEEN.\nGOOD MORNING, CITY COUNCIL,\nCOLLEEN McALEER, REPRESENTING\n3400 RESIDENTS IN NORTHEAST\nSEATTLE AT OUR COMMUNITY CENTER,\nAND WE REQUEST TO MAINTAIN THE\nSTAIN UNITS [ INAUDIBLE ] AND\nNOT UP ZONE 55 FEET, MOVE THAT\nTO A MORE COMPATIBLE LOCATION [\nINAUDIBLE ]. THIS PARTICULAR\nSTREET IS AN ARBITRARY ZONING\nEXTENSION, LOCATED ON A STEEP\nSLOPE THAT JUST FUNCTIONS AS A [\nINAUDIBLE ] FOR METRO DRIVERS.\nTHE ONE SEATTLE PLAN SAYS PHASE\n26 DESIGNATES NEIGHBORHOOD\nCENTERS [ INAUDIBLE ] WITH\nDIVERSE HOUSING OPTIONS.\nNORTHEAST 45th STREET EAST OF\n40th AVENUE DOES NOT MEET THIS\nCRITERIA. THERE ARE NO\nCOMMERCIAL SERVICES [ INAUDIBLE\n]. A BETTER PLAN, LET THEM\nPRODUCE THE AFFORDABLE UNITS [\nINAUDIBLE ] . ANOTHER 120 UNITS\nCAN BE PLACED ELSEWHERE IN VERY\nUNDERDEVELOPED COMMERCIAL AREAS\nRIDE ALONG [ INAUDIBLE ]. THANK\nYOU SO.\nTHANK YOU, COLLEEN. THE NEXT\nGROUP, WE ARE UP TO NUMBER 28,\nIT'S GOING TO BE MARY DAVIS,\nWINSLOW HAYNES, GREG MURPHY, AND\nLEO KITCHELL, SO WE WILL START\nOFF WITH MARY DAVIS. IF YOU ARE\nPRESENT, PLEASE HIT*6.\nCAN YOU HEAR ME: CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES, WE CAN.\nCAN YOU HEAR ME: CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES.\nMY NAME IS MARY DAVIS, THANK\nYOU, COUNCILMEMBERS, FOR YOUR\nWORK ON A COMPLEX JOB OF\nINCREASED DENSITY AND FOR THE\nOPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. FIRST, THE\nCURRENT PROPOSED ZONING DOES NOT\nREFLECT THE PROVISION FOR\nTRANSITIONS THAT APPEARED IN THE\nPLAN THAT WAS APPROVED.\nTRANSITIONING FROM CB 121173\nGOING FOR TO NEIGHBORHOOD\nRESIDENTIAL [ INAUDIBLE ] WITH\nTHE CHARACTER OF OUR CITY AND\nSTART PLACEMENT OF FIVE AND SIX\nSTORY BUILDINGS RIGHT NEXT TO 30\nFOOT DWELLINGS. TRANSITIONING\nALSO ADDS GREATER CHOICES IN\nTYPES OF HOUSING. PLEASE\nTRANSITION BETWEEN ZONING\nCATEGORIES WITHIN EXISTING AREA\nBOUNDARIES. SECOND, I ENCOURAGE\nTHE COUNCIL TO CAREFULLY REVISIT\nTHE IMPACT OF ZONING NEXT TO OUR\nWONDERFUL CITY PARKS. EACH IS\nUNIQUE IN CHARACTER AND\nOFFERINGS, TYPE OF LOCATION,\nADJACENT STREETS, AND NUMBER\nTYPE AND FREQUENCY OF VISITORS.\nEACH REQUIRES GENERAL ACCESS AND\nSAFETY. PLEASE TAKE CARE IN\nOFFERING [ INAUDIBLE ]\nTHANK YOU, MARY. NEXT UP,\nWINSLOW HAYNES. WINSLOW, IF YOU\nCOULD HIT*6. OKAY, WE ARE GOING\nTO MOVE ON. WINSLOW, WE WILL\nCOME BACK TO YOU. OH. WINSLOW,\nIF YOU COULD HIT *6, OTHERWISE\nWE WILL COME BACK TO YOU.\nCAN YOU HEAR ME NOW: CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?\nYES, WE CAN, GO AHEAD.\nHELLO: HELLO?\nYES, WE CAN HEAR YOU.\nHELLO, MY NAME IS WINSLOW\nHAYES, SEATTLE RESIDENT SINCE\n1984. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A\nVERY SMALL [ INAUDIBLE ] ON 34th\nAND 35th AVENUE , WHICH WOULD BE\nZONED TO Mc 255 [ INAUDIBLE ].\nTHIS STRETCH IS ONE CONTINUOUS\nBLOCK OF NORTH EAST 81st STREET\nAND NORTHEAST 84th STREET. THIS\nPIECE OF LAND IS CURRENTLY ZONED\nAT NR. THE LAST RUN FROM 25th TO\n34th GRADE ON THE 35th ASIDE,\nTHERE IS A LONG LINE OF AT LEAST\n73 MOSTLY EVERGREENS THAT WERE\nPLANTED IN THE 1940s. THE 34th\nSIDE, THERE ARE HOUSES, YARDS,\nAND OTHER MATURE TREES. IF THIS\nUP ZONING [ INAUDIBLE ] THAT\nLONG LINE OF TREES WILL BE\nREMOVED [ INAUDIBLE ] OR THE\nTREES [ INAUDIBLE ] , WHICH\nMAKES NO SENSE, SINCE 34th IS A\nRESIDENTIAL STREET. PLEASE\nRESTORE THE ZONING TO NR. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT UP, GREG\nMURPHY.\nHI, THANK YOU FOR THE\nOPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. MY NAME IS\nGREG MURPHY, I AM A RESIDENT OF\nWEST SEATTLE. I LIVE IN A\nNEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS PROPOSED TO\nBECOME A [ INAUDIBLE ]\nNEIGHBORHOOD DISTRICT. AND I'M\nCALLING IN TO ASK THAT YOU\nMAINTAIN THE EXISTING\nNEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONING\nAND 36 AND 37th AVENUE SOUTHWEST\nTO [ INAUDIBLE ] NEIGHBORHOOD\nDISTRICT. THE REASON FOR THIS IS\nTHE PROPOSED CHANGE TO LR-3 IS\nGOING TO BRING 50 FOOT TALL\nBUILDINGS AS A PATCHWORK INTO\nOUR NEIGHBORHOOD OF SMALL [\nINAUDIBLE ] AND ONE AND A HALF\nSTORY HOMES, BLOCKING LIGHTS,\nBLOCKING VIEWS, TO [ INAUDIBLE ]\nOUR QUALITY OF LIFE IN THAT\nNEIGHBORHOOD. ADDITIONALLY, I\nDON'T THINK OUR INFRASTRUCTURE\nIS SCALED FOR A 50 FOOT TALL [\nINAUDIBLE ]. WE ARE ABOUT TWO\nMILES FROM THE NEAREST RAPID\nTRANSIT STATION. OUR STREETS ARE\nNARROW, AND [ INAUDIBLE ]\nRESIDENTIAL ZONING. THANKS.\nTHANK YOU, GREG. NEXT UP, LEO\nKITCHELL.\nHELLO, COUNCIL. MY NAME IS\nLEO KITCHELL, A LONGTIME SEATTLE\nRESIDENT LIVING ON CHERRY HILL.\nI WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO [\nINAUDIBLE ]. I SUPPORT THE\nPRIORITIES OF THAT COMPLETE\nCOMMUNITY COALITION. [ INAUDIBLE\n] COURTYARD BONUSES IN LR ZONES.\n[ INAUDIBLE ] AND EXPANDING\nTRANSIT CORRIDOR IS BEYOND THOSE\nNARROW BLOCK [ INAUDIBLE ] .\nTHANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD\nWORK. PLEASE HELP END THIS\nHOUSING AFFORDABILITY CRISIS BY\nALLOWING [ INAUDIBLE ]. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU, LEO. AND JUST A\nREMINDER FOR ANY OF THE\nLISTENING PUBLIC WHO HAVE NOT\nSIGNED UP TO TESTIFY, BUT ARE\nINTERESTED IN TESTIFYING\nREMOTELY THIS MORNING, YOU CAN\nSTILL SIGN UP UNTIL 10:30, SO 10\nMORE MINUTES TO SIGN UP.

YOU ARE NEXT.\nGOOD MORNING, COUNCILMEMBERS,\nMY NAME IS ORLA AND I AM HERE TO\nCOMMENT ON THE AFFORDABILITY OF\nOUR NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS. OUR\nCITY IS GETTING INCREASINGLY\nWARMER [ INAUDIBLE ], AND WE\nNEED OUR NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS TO\nBE COOL. AIR-CONDITIONING IS A\nLUXURY THAT NOT ALL OF OUR\nRESIDENTS CAN AFFORD, AND [\nINAUDIBLE ] BY COOLING THE AIR\nUP TO 10 TO 15 DEGREES. PLEASE\nDO NOT OVERLOOK HOW TREES\nNATURALLY COOL THE AIR FOR ALL\nRESIDENTS. I AM ASKING FOR DENSE\nFORESTS FOR DENSE HOUSING. [\nINAUDIBLE ] TREES INSTEAD OF\nJUST PAVEMENTS. AMEND THE [\nINAUDIBLE ] , AND PILOT\nACCESSIBLE POCKET [ INAUDIBLE ]\nTO INCREASE FREE PARKING. I AM\nASKING [ INAUDIBLE ] AND TO KEEP\nSEATTLE ERECT. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT UP, NOLLIE\nMATT SHAW. IF YOU COULD HIT*6.\nOKAY.\nHI, CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES, WE CAN.\nOKAY. I URGE COUNCIL TO ENACT\nPOLICY THAT PROTECTS TREES AND\nPROMOTES HOUSING TOGETHER.\nUNLESS COUNCIL INCLUDES STRONGER\nREQUIREMENTS AND INCENTIVES TO\nPROTECT TREES, IT WILL NOT\nHAPPEN. IF WE COULD TRUST\nVOLUNTARY ACTION, SEATTLE WOULD\nHAVE A MUCH HIGHER TREE CANOPY\nALREADY. 100-YEAR-OLD TREES\nCANNOT BE REPLACED WITH NEW\nTREES. REQUIRING TREES DOES NOT\nHAVE TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF\nHOUSING WITH THE RIGHT POLICIES\nIN PLACE. AS THE NUMBER OF HOT\nDAYS INCREASE, IT IS IMPERATIVE\nTHAT SEATTLE INCLUDE TREES IN\nPLACES THAT PEOPLE SPEND TIME.\nON PRIVATE PROPERTY, COURTYARDS,\nCOMMUNITY SPACES, PARKS, AND ON\nSTREETS. TREES MATTER IN THE\nWINTER AS WELL, WE GET REALLY\nHEAVY RAIN NOW. TREES BREAK UP\nTHE RAINDROPS INTO SMALLER\nPARTICLES AND ABSORB THE WATER,\nREDUCING FLOODING IMPACTS.\nFINALLY, TREES ARE SO IMPORTANT\nTO PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELL-BEING.\nSCIENCE SHOWS THAT PEOPLE\nRECOVERING FROM SURGERY EVEN\nRECOVER FASTER JUST BY LOOKING\nAT TREES. JUST SPEND A FEW\nMINUTES QUIETLY LOOKING AT A\nTREE OR SITTING UNDER ITS CANOPY\nOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT THAT AND\nSEE HOW YOU FEEL. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT UP, TINA\nBUCHER. TINA, IF YOU COULD HIT\n*6.\nTHANK YOU, CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nYES, WE CAN. GREAT, MY NAME\nIS TINA AND I LIVE IN DOWNTOWN\nSEATTLE. I SUPPORT DOWNTOWN\nGROWTH AND I SUPPORT HAVING MORE\nHOUSING. BUT THIS PLAN RAISES A\nFUNDAMENTAL QUESTION, ARE WE\nGROWING A NEIGHBORHOOD OR ARE WE\nJUST [ INAUDIBLE ] ? THIS\nDOWNTOWN IS GOING TO GROW WITH\nRESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS AND WE\nHAVE TO PLAN FOR HOW PEOPLE [\nINAUDIBLE ] LIVABILITY, OPEN\nSPACE, WALKABLE STREETS. [\nINAUDIBLE ] AIR QUALITY ,\nPRESERVING HISTORIC BUILDINGS,\nAND SO ON. AND IT MEANS\nNEIGHBORHOOD AMENITIES, GROCERY\nSTORES, CHILDCARE, PARKS. [\nINAUDIBLE ] ADDING HOUSING IS\nNOT THE SAME AS BUILDING A\nNEIGHBORHOOD. AND A NEIGHBORHOOD\nCAN'T BE [ INAUDIBLE ] WITHOUT\nTRANSPORTATION, PUBLIC SPACE,\nAND AMENITIES ALL HAVE TO BE\nPLANNED TOGETHER, [ INAUDIBLE ].\nWE SHOULD BE PLANNING FOR HOW\nPEOPLE ACTUALLY LIVE THERE.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, TINA. NEXT UP,\nROSA CORTEZ. ROSA ? ROSA, IF YOU\nCOULD HIT*6. OKAY. ROSA, WE\nWILL COME BACK TO YOU. NEXT UP,\nWE HAVE A FEW SPEAKERS, WE ARE\nUP TO NUMBER 37. WE HAVE ETHAN,\nRUTH WILLIAMS, CAROLINE\nVILLANOVA, AND ZACH HOWELL.\nETHAN, YOU ARE UP NEXT, IF YOU\nCOULD HIT*6.\nHELLO. SEATTLE IS\nUNFORTUNATELY A VICTIM OF [\nINAUDIBLE ] VAST MAJORITY OF\nAMERICA. [ INAUDIBLE ] I WOULD\nBET 1 MILLION BUCKS THAT WHEN\nYOU GET THERE, THE FIRST THING\nON YOUR MIND IS, WOW, [\nINAUDIBLE ] ONLY MIXED-USE\nDEVELOPMENTS AND SIDEWALKS TO\nMAKE ROOM FOR A SIX LANE\nHIGHWAY. [ INAUDIBLE ] BEING\nABLE TO WALK OR BUS FROM ONE\nNEIGHBORHOOD TO ANOTHER, I WOULD\nORDER A $60 UBER INSTEAD. THIS\nIS A REALITY THAT WE LIVE IN,\nAND [ INAUDIBLE ] ZONING LAWS\nARE ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL\nISSUES DRIVING [ INAUDIBLE ].\nHIGH DENSITY, MIXED-USE\nDEVELOPMENT IN POOR\nNEIGHBORHOODS, IMPROVING\nAFFORDABILITY BY [ INAUDIBLE ].\nENCOURAGE ECONOMIC GROWTH BY\nINCREASING [ INAUDIBLE ] FOR\nRESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES. MY\nUNDERSTANDING OF THE CURRENT\nPROPOSAL IS THAT THE HOUSING\nWOULD ONLY BE UTILIZED [\nINAUDIBLE ]. I ASK US TO EXPAND\nINTO A FIVE-MINUTE [ INAUDIBLE ]\nAROUND THE CORE DOORS. THANK\nYOU.\nTHANK YOU, ETHAN. NEXT UP,\nRUTH WILLIAMS. RUTH, IF YOU\nCOULD HIT*6. RUTH , WE WILL\nCOME BACK TO YOU. CAROLINE\nVILLANOVA. CAN YOU HIT *6?\nCAROLINE, YOU MIGHT BE MUTED,\nSO, IF YOU WOULD TRY AGAIN.\nHI, IS THIS GOOD?\nYES, WE CAN HEAR YOU NOW.\nGREAT. THANK YOU FOR THE\nOPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT,\nCOUNCILMEMBERS. MY NAME IS\nCAROLINE VILLANOVA AND I AM THE\nDIRECTOR OF GOVERNMENT RELATIONS\nFOR SEATTLE [ INAUDIBLE ]. WE\nARE FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE NEED\nFOR ADDITIONAL HOUSING IN\nSEATTLE. WHAT WE ARE CONCERNED\nABOUT IS THE LACK OF FOCUS ON\nTHE OVERALL QUALITY OF LIFE\nSURROUNDING THIS HIGHWAY. THE\nCOMMUNITY PROCESS FOR THIS HAS\nBEEN INADEQUATE. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nAGENCY AND ELECTED LEADERS TO\nSIT DOWN AND HAVE DIRECT\nDIALOGUES WITH COMMUNITIES THAT\nWILL BE IMPACTED BY THESE\nCHANGES. SEATTLE PARKS\nTHANKFULLY WORKS WITH OVER 130\nGRASSROOTS COMMUNITY GROUPS,\nINCLUDING A NUMBER OF\nNEIGHBORHOOD [ INAUDIBLE ], AND\nWE ARE HAPPY TO ASSIST THE CITY\nIN REACHING PEOPLE THAT CARE\nABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOODS. PEOPLE\nWANT TO LIVE NEAR GREEN SPACES.\nTHESE REQUIRE PUBLIC SPACE AND\nPUBLIC AMENITY IMPROVEMENTS TO\nEVERY REGIONAL AREA AND\nNEIGHBORHOOD PLAN. THESE ARE\nPLACES WHERE PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY\nENJOY OUR CITY. AND THE LAST [\nINAUDIBLE ], OR CITY LEADERS [\nINAUDIBLE ]. SPECIFICALLY PARKS,\nSUCH AS CAL ANDERSON PARK. WE\nREQUEST AN AMENDMENT TO THE [\nINAUDIBLE ] SYSTEM WITH TREE\nREQUIREMENTS AND [ INAUDIBLE ] .\nTHANK YOU VERY MUCH,\nCAROLINE. WE ARE GOING TO GO\nBACK TO RUTH WILLIAMS, I BELIEVE\nYOU WERE TRYING TO CALL IN. RUTH\nWILLIAMS, IF YOU WOULD HIT *6.\nHELLO, GOOD MORNING, MY NAME\nIS RUTH WILLIAMS, IN SPEAKING ON\nBEHALF OF HORTON CREEK ALLIANCE.\nBARTON CREEK IS THE LARGEST\nWATERSHED IN BOTH SEATTLE AND [\nINAUDIBLE ]. THE SEATTLE PORTION\nIS LARGELY IN D5 AND B4. A LOT\nOF PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE, BUT\nNOW THE CITY FOCUS ON PAVEMENT\nAND NEW CONSTRUCTION DIRECTLY\nCONFLICTS WITH THE CITY'S\nLONG-HELD STANDARD GOALS, AND\nWILL BRING INCREASED WARM,\nCONTAMINATED STORM WATER, AND\nTHE LOSS OF TREE CANOPY WILL\nFURTHER THE HARM WITH WARMER,\nDRIER AIR. [ INAUDIBLE ] NOT\nCONSISTENT WITH SALMON RECOVERY,\nBUT YOU KNOW THAT. THEY ARE NOT\nCONSISTENT WITH THE GOAL OF\nHEALTHY NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT YOU\nKNOW THAT, TOO. HAS ANYONE\nCONSIDERED WHAT THE LACK OF\nPLANNING FOR OFF SPECIES AREAS\nIS GOING TO DO? THE STATED GOAL\nIS AFFORDABLE HOUSING. HOW IS\nTHAT WORKING? ARE YOU AWARE THAT\nSTSCI IS NOW REQUIRING\nHOMEBUYERS TO SIGN NO PROTEST\nAGREEMENTS AND AT LEAST ONE\nNEIGHBORHOOD? THIS IS A\nCOMMITMENT NOT TO PROTEST WHEN\nTHE CITY IMPOSES AN L I.D. ON\nTHE RESIDENTS.\nTHANK YOU. NEXT UP, WE ARE\nGOING TO GO TO ZACH HOWELL, AND\nAFTER THAT, WE ARE GOING TO\nCIRCLE BACK TO PATRICK TAYLOR.\nZACH HOWELL, CAN YOU HIT *6?\nHELLO. I'M ZACH HOWELL, A\nLONGTIME SEATTLE RENTER AND\nRECENT HOMEOWNER. IT SHOULD BE\nINCREDIBLY OBVIOUS HOW MESSED UP\nIT IS TO FORCE [ INAUDIBLE ]\nONTO BUSY ROADS WHILE\nSINGLE-FAMILY HOMES LIE ON NICER\nAND QUIETER STREETS. PLEASE\nEXTEND THESE CORE DOORS TO AT\nLEAST A FEW BLOCKS IN EACH\nDIRECTION. WHOEVER DECIDED THAT\nAPARTMENTS CAN ONLY GO WITHIN\nHALF A BLOCK OF TRANSIT\nCORRIDORS HAS CLEARLY NEVER\nWALKED TO A BUS STOP IN THEIR\nLIFE. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE\nNOVEMBER VOTERS WHO VOTED [\nINAUDIBLE ] OVER ENTRENCHED\nHOMEOWNERS AND CAR -- AND THE\nPREVIOUS CAR DRIVING\nADMINISTRATION. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, ZACH. NEXT UP,\nPATRICK TAYLOR. PATRICK TAYLOR,\nIF YOU COULD HIT *6. PATRICK\nTAYLOR, YOU ARE NUMBER 24. IF\nYOU ARE PRESENT, IF YOU COULD\nHIT *6. OKAY, PATRICK, WE CAN\nCIRCLE BACK TO YOU. THANK YOU\nALL AGAIN TO EVERYBODY FOR\nCALLING IN, AND AGAIN, IF YOU\nARE UNABLE TO COMPLETE YOUR\nCOMMENTS, GO AHEAD AND EMAIL US.\nYOU CAN EMAIL THE ENTIRE COUNCIL\nAT COUNCIL @ SEATTLE.GOV. THE\nNEXT GROUP OF SPEAKERS, WE ARE\nUP TO NUMBER 41. WE ARE GOING TO\nNAME 41 THROUGH 45. IT IS\nBECAUSE SUE , HANS RASMUSSEN,\nSCOTT ROBERTS, GABRIEL KENNEDY\nGIBBONS, AND MONACO LONG. LOOKS\nLIKE [ INAUDIBLE ] MAY NOT BE\nPRESENT, BUT IF YOU WOULD CALL\nBACK IN . HANS RASMUSSEN, SAME\nTHING, IF YOU WOULD CALL BACK\nIN.\nHELLO? CAN YOU HEAR ME?\nHELLO, IS THAT PATRICK?\nYEAH, THIS IS PATRICK, SORRY.\nGO AHEAD, PATRICK.\nMY NAME IS PATRICK TAYLOR, I\nAM A HOMEOWNER [ INAUDIBLE ]\nNEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. [ INAUDIBLE\n] I'M CALLING IN TODAY TO\nSUPPORT NEW HOUSING\nOPPORTUNITIES. [ INAUDIBLE ] THE\nHOUSING CRISIS, THE ROOT OF\nWHICH IS NOT ENOUGH HOUSING, [\nINAUDIBLE ]. I WOULD ALSO LIKE\nTO MAKE A PLEA FOR LESS [\nINAUDIBLE ]. THE PROCESS IS\nEXHAUSTING. YOU HAVE HEARD [\nINAUDIBLE ]. LOBBYISTS [\nINAUDIBLE ] PEOPLE WANT TO BE\nWITH THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR\nFRIENDS, WATCHING REALITY TV, OR\nANYTHING BUT [ INAUDIBLE ]. NOW\nIS THE TIME [ INAUDIBLE ].\nPLEASE PASS THE REST OF THE PLAN\n[ INAUDIBLE ] AS SOON AS\nPOSSIBLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.\nTHANK YOU, PATRICK. NEXT UP,\nNUMBER 43, SCOTT ROBERTS, IF YOU\nCOULD HIT *6.\nHI. I LIVE ON 39th AVENUE\nSOUTHWEST IN WEST SEATTLE. I\nURGE YOU TO MAINTAIN THE\nNEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL ZONING\nON THE WEST SIDE OF 39th AVENUE\nSOUTHWEST. THE CURRENT ZONING [\nINAUDIBLE ] . ONCE YOU PUT THE\nSWITCH TO LR-2, IT'S PERMANENT,\nWE CAN'T UNDO [ INAUDIBLE ].\nTHIS REZONING IGNORES THE\nECONOMIC VALUE. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nUNATTRACTIVE FOR AFFORDABLE\nDEVELOPMENT. I AM PUSHING FOR\nLR-2, YOU'RE CREATING FEAR IN\nTHE COMMUNITY, [ INAUDIBLE ]\nBECAUSE THE MATH DOESN'T WORK\nFOR BUILDERS. ADJUSTING THAT\nMATH REQUIRES HIGHER PRICES. WHY\nTRADE OUR COMMUNITY STABILITY\nFOR A PLAN [ INAUDIBLE ]?\nFINALLY, THE PROCESS [ INAUDIBLE\n]. MOST OF THE NEIGHBORS IN MY\nCOMMUNITY ONLY HEARD OF THIS IN\nJANUARY. [ INAUDIBLE ] YOU\nREJECTED THE COUNCILMEMBERS\nAMENDMENT THAT WOULD HAVE [\nINAUDIBLE ] REQUIRED MAILERS. BY\nDOING SO --\nTHANK YOU, SCOTT. NEXT UP,\nGABRIEL KENNEDY GIBBONS.\nGABRIEL, IF YOU COULD HIT*6.\nGOOD MORNING, COUNCIL, MY\nNAME IS GABRIEL, I AM A STUDENT\nAT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON\nSTUDYING ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE.\nWHEN I WAS READING THROUGH THE\nDRAFT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN,\nI WAS VERY ALARMED TO SEE THAT\nIT INADEQUATELY ADDRESSES\nSTREETS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT\nREQUIRE AMENITY AREAS TO HAVE\nTREES, EITHER PLANTED OR\nOBTAINED. PLEASE AMEND THE GREEN\nFACTOR WITH TREE RETENTION AND\nPLANNING, AND AT A FLEXIBLE\nOPTION OF POCKET FORESTS IN\nPUBLIC RIGHT OF WAYS. WE KNOW\nTHAT WE CAN HAVE TREE DENSITY\nWITHOUT SACRIFICING HOUSING.\nTHIS IS ONE OF MY FIRST TIMES\nCALLING INTO COMMENT BECAUSE OF\nHOW IMPORTANT THIS ISSUE IS. AND\nI WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT MY\nHOMETOWN OF SPOKANE IS DOING\nBETTER JOBS THAN SEATTLE RIGHT\nNOW WITH THE TREE CANOPY COVER\nGOAL. AS MY PEERS AND I PREPARE\nTO GRADUATE, WE ARE GOING TO BE\nWATCHING CLOSELY AT WHAT THE\nCOUNCIL DOES AND IF YOU\nPRIORITIZE HAVING TREES OR NOT,\nWHEN WE ARE MAKING DECISIONS\nMORE LONG-TERM ABOUT WHERE WE\nWOULD LIKE TO LIVE, SO PLEASE\nPROVIDE FOR URBAN DENSITY,\nMAINTAIN OUR URBAN TREE COVER AS\nWELL. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, GABRIEL. NEXT UP,\nMONICA WONG. MONICA?\nGOOD MORNING, COUNCIL, MY\nNAME IS MONICA HONG, I'M A\nRENTER IN D2 AND I AM ALSO A\nMILLENNIAL. THE HOUSING SURGE\nHAS NOT ONLY AFFECTED [\nINAUDIBLE ] TO START OUR OWN\nFAMILIES, BUT ALSO [ INAUDIBLE ]\nOUR AGING PARENTS [ INAUDIBLE ].\nMY MOM IS IN HER 70s AND\nRECENTLY MOVED BACK TO BE CLOSER\nTO HER ONLY CHILD, AND THE\nCURRENT HOUSING SHORTAGE HAS\nLIMITED WHERE SHE CAN LIVE AND\nWHAT QUALITY-OF-LIFE SHE CAN\nHAVE IN HER LATER YEARS. SHE\nCAN'T REALLY SAFELY DRIVE\nANYMORE, SO THE LACK OF PUBLIC\nTRANSIT HAS REDUCED HER SENSE OF\nAUTONOMY, HER ABILITY TO GET TO\nMEDICAL APPOINTMENTS ON HER OWN,\nRUN ERRANDS, OR JUST SIMPLY MAKE\nNEW FRIENDS. [ INAUDIBLE ] SHE\nFEELS TRAPPED IN HER APARTMENT.\nI AM URGING YOU TO SUPPORT\nWIDENING THE TRANSIT CORRIDORS,\nSO OUR PARENTS CAN LIVE ON WIDER\nSTREETS AND ACCESS PUBLIC\nTRANSIT THAT THEY DEPEND ON.\nI'M ALSO ASKING YOU TO SUPPORT\nCOURTYARD BLOCKS TO PROVIDE\nFAMILY-FRIENDLY GREEN SPACES TO\nINNOVATE [ INAUDIBLE ]. AND\nLASTLY, I AM ASKING YOU [\nINAUDIBLE ] NOT JUST FOR OUR\nAGING PARENTS NOW, BUT FOR\nGENERATIONS TO COME. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, MONICA. AND FOR\nMEMBERS OF THE LISTENING PUBLIC,\nWE HAVE ABOUT 10 TO 15 MORE\nSPEAKERS, SO, WE WILL GO THROUGH\nTHE REMAINDER OF THE LIST AND WE\nWILL CIRCLE BACK TO ANYBODY WHO\nWE MISSED EARLIER. WE ARE UP TO\nNUMBER 47 . I WILL CALL OFF A\nLIST OF NAMES. JESSICA DIXON,\nCAVE MEANT , KATE RUBIN,\nCRYSTAL. SO, NEXT UP, JESSICA\nDIXON , IF YOU ARE ABLE TO CALL\nIN -- I WILL GIVE YOU A MOMENT,\nOTHERWISE WE WILL CIRCLE BACK TO\nYOU. WE WILL GO ON TO THE NEXT\nSPEAKER, DAVE MENTZ, IF YOU\nCOULD HIT *6.\nHI, GOOD MORNING. CAN I BE\nHEARD?\nYES, WE CAN HEAR YOU.\nYES, OKAY, THANK YOU,\nCOUNCILMEMBERS, FOR YOUR\nATTENTION TO THIS. I THINK\nAPPROPRIATELY STATED EARLIER,\nTHIS IS REALLY COMPLEX. I ALSO\nAGREE WITH A POINT MADE EARLIER\nABOUT THIS IS A REALLY GOOD\nSTART, ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE\nPUSHED FURTHER, AND I WOULD\nADVOCATE A FEW THINGS THAT HAVE\nBEEN EXPRESSED, ONE OF THEM\nBEING THE COURTYARD BONUS, WHICH\nIS A REALLY GOOD ATTEMPT TO\nBALANCE THE TREES VERSUS\nDEVELOPMENT DILEMMA. AND I AGREE\nTHAT THE TREES VERSUS\nDEVELOPMENT IS REALLY [\nINAUDIBLE ]. SECOND THING I\nWOULD ADVOCATE FOR WOULD BE THE\nHEIGHT BONUSES FOR GREEN\nBUILDINGS, LIKE [ INAUDIBLE ]\nTYPE STRUCTURES. AND THEN ,\nAGAIN, AS HAS BEEN EXPRESSED ,\nALLOWING MORE MULTI FAMILY\nHOUSING ON SIDE STREETS, AND I\nAGREE FULLY WITH THE STATEMENT\nTHAT THOSE WHERE RENTERS ARE\nOCCUPY NEW HOUSING SHOULD NOT BE\nTHE ONLY ONES FORCED TO LIVE [\nINAUDIBLE ] IN HIGH-TRAFFIC\nAREAS. MY INTEREST IN THIS STEMS\nFROM MY EXPERIENCE --\nTHANK YOU, DAVE. GO AHEAD AND\nEMAIL US THE REST OF YOUR\nCOMMENTS IF YOU'RE ABLE TO AT\nCOUNCIL@SEATTLE.GOV. NEXT UP,\nKATE RUBIN. GO AHEAD, KATE.\nMY NAME IS KATE RUBIN, I AM [\nINAUDIBLE ] DIRECTOR OF THE\nHOUSING [ INAUDIBLE ]. A RENTER\nIN DISTRICT 2, AND FOR\nIDENTIFICATION PURPOSES, [\nINAUDIBLE ]. I URGE THE COUNCIL\nTO [ INAUDIBLE ] WALK AROUND\nFREQUENT TRANSIT, SO RENTERS CAN\nLIVE ON QUIETER, SAFER, AND [\nINAUDIBLE ]. ON ARTERIALS AND\nBLOCKING THEM FROM AREAS OF LOW\nDISPLACEMENT AND HIGH\nOPPORTUNITY WOULD CONTINUE TO\nPERPETUATE SEATTLE'S RACIST\nHISTORY OF EXCLUSIONARY [\nINAUDIBLE ]. A LOT OF FEAR\nAROUND GROWTH INFORMALLY A\nSINGLE FAMILY HOMES. [ INAUDIBLE\n] NEIGHBORHOODS MORE DYNAMIC AND\nWELCOMING. RENTERS NEED HOUSING\nTHAT IS AFFORDABLE AND\nDESIRABLE. SEATTLE RESIDENTS ARE\nSTRUGGLING AND THE CONFERENCE OF\nAND MUST REPRESENT COMMUNITIES.\nI ALSO [ INAUDIBLE ]. THESE\nCHOICES WILL SHAPE THE CITY FOR\nDECADES. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, KATE. I WOULD LIKE\nTO CIRCLE BACK TO A PRIOR NAME.\nHANS RASMUSSEN, IF YOU ARE\nPRESENT, CAN YOU HIT*6?\nGOOD MORNING, ALL.\nGOOD MORNING: GOOD MORNING.\nI AM AN ARCHITECT AND I WOULD: I AM AN ARCHITECT AND I WOULD\nLIKE TO EXPRESS STRONG SUPPORT\nFOR THE COURTYARD HOUSING BONUS.\nI THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA TO\nMERGE THE TWIN POLITICAL GOALS\nOF TREES AND MORE HOUSING, AND I\nTHINK THAT WE SHOULD REALLY BE\nCONSIDERING THAT NOW. THE\nCOMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROCESS,\nAS YOU KNOW, HAS BEEN GOING ON\nFOR MANY YEARS, AND LOWRISE\nZONES RIGHT NOW AREN'T REALLY\nGETTING BUILT IN. IT IS NOT\nCOST-EFFECTIVE OR ECONOMICALLY\nFEASIBLE TO DO SO. I THINK\nADDITIONAL UP ZONES WILL UNBLOCK\nTHAT CAPACITY THAT WE HAVE SPENT\nDECADES PLANNING FOR , AS MOST\nLO-RES ZONING IN OUR URBAN\nVILLAGES. AND THAT IS WHERE\nTHERE ARE ALREADY EXISTING,\nAMENITY RICH RESOURCES,\nBUSINESSES, RESTAURANTS,\nTRANSIT, SO WE CAN UNLOCK A LOT\nMORE HOUSING WITH THAT, AND ALSO\nA LOT MORE TREES. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, MONS. WE ARE GOING\nTO GO TO SPEAKERS STARTING AT\nSPEAKER 51, IT'S JOANNA, AND\nTHEN SHIRLEY LEON, AND DEB\nLESTER, AND LYNN. JOANNA:, COULD\nYOU PLEASE PRESS STAR SIX?\nJOANNA CULLEN, IF YOU ARE THERE,\nCOULD YOU HIT *6? OKAY,\nJOANNA, WE CAN CIRCLE BACK TO\nYOU. NEXT UP, SHIRLEY.\nHI, MY NAME IS SHIRLEY, AND\nIN MY 15 YEARS LIVING IN\nSEATTLE, I HAVE MOVED FIVE TIMES\nTO SAY HOUSING I CAN AFFORD. NO\nMATTER WHERE I HAVE MOVED, IT\nHAS ALWAYS MEANT LIVING ALONG A\nHIGH TRAFFIC HIGHWAY. THIS HAS\nCONTRIBUTED TO MY ASTHMA GETTING\nPROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT\nWHERE I HAVE TO USE MY INHALER\nEVERY SINGLE DAY WHERE I\nLITERALLY CAN'T BREATHE, AND I\nKNOW I AM NOT ALONE. [ INAUDIBLE\n] PUTTING DENSE HOUSING ALONG [\nINAUDIBLE ] INCREASES RATES OF\nASTHMA AND DEMENTIA. BUT YOU ALL\nHAVE AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY\nTO END THE PUBLIC HOUSING\nNIGHTMARE AND HELP COUNTLESS\nSEATTLEITES INCLUDING ME, SIMPLY\nBY ALLOWING MORE HOUSING TO BE\nBUILT ON QUIETER NEIGHBORHOOD\nSTREETS. SO, PLEASE EXTEND THE\nWIDTH OF CORRIDORS TO AT LEAST\nHALF A MILE WIDE IN EACH\nDIRECTION, AND [ INAUDIBLE ], SO\nTHAT MANY MORE SEATTLEITES [\nINAUDIBLE ] CAN LIVE LONG AND\nHEALTHY LIVES. THANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, SHIRLEY. THE NEXT\nFEW, WE ARE GOING TO DO DEB\nLESTER, LYNN, I WOULD LIKE TO\nCIRCLE BACK TO JESSICA DIXON, I\nSEE YOU ONLINE. BUT NEXT UP DEB\nLESTER. DEB, IF YOU COULD HIT\n*6. OKAY. MOVING ON, DEB, WE CAN\nCOME BACK TO YOU. LYNN, IF YOU\nARE THERE,*6.\nHELLO. MY NAME IS LYNN.\nDURING THIS LAST YEAR, SEATTLE\nCUT DOWN 1000-YEAR-OLD TREES.\nTHIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU OUGHT\nTO BE ASHAMED OF. IT'S BECAUSE\nOF THE POORER TREE POLICIES THAT\nSEATTLE HAS. YOU ALSO HAVE A\nCLIMATE POLICY THAT SAYS BUILD\nUP, NOT OUT, WHICH I AGREE WITH.\nYOU HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING\nPOLICY, WHICH I AGREE WITH, BUT\nYOU WILL NOT GET AFFORDABLE\nHOUSING BY LETTING PEOPLE BUILD\nALL THE WAY OUT TO THE EDGE OF\nTHE PROPERTY AND LEAVING NO ROOM\nFOR TREES. YOU WILL GET HOUSING\nTHAT IS INHOSPITABLE FOR PEOPLE\nWHO LIVE IN IT, LIKE THE WOMAN\nWHO JUST TESTIFIED BEFORE ME\nABOUT ASTHMA, TREES TAKE\nPOLLUTANTS OUT OF THE AIR, BUT\nTHEY HAVE [ INAUDIBLE ]. THEY\nPROTECT AGAINST HEAT ISLANDS, [\nINAUDIBLE ] BY THE AMOUNT OF --\n[ INAUDIBLE ]. I THINK THAT THAT\nWAS MY TIME. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nTHANK YOU, LYNN, YEAH. THANK\nYOU SO MUCH. IF YOU COULD EMAIL\nUS THE REST OF YOUR COMMENTS TO\nCOUNCIL@SEATTLE.GOV. THAT DINGED\nIS FOR OTHER FOLKS, USUALLY WHEN\nYOU HAVE 10 SECONDS REMAINING,\nYOU WILL HEAR A DING. THANK YOU\nSO MUCH, LYNN. JESSICA DIXON, IF\nYOU ARE PRESENT, COULD YOU HIT\n*6? JESSICA DIXON?\n[ INAUDIBLE ] CAN YOU HEAR\nME?\nYES, WE CAN, THANK YOU.\nHELLO, COUNCIL MEMBERS. I\nWOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY DENSITY\nALONE DOES NOT CREATE HEALTHY,\nWALKABLE NEIGHBORHOODS, AND\nSEATTLE'S NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS\nNEED FORESTS FOR DENSE HOUSING,\nSO PLEASE MAKE THE FOLLOWING\nCHANGES TO BUILD [ INAUDIBLE ]\nWHILE RETAINING HOUSING GOALS.\nREQUIRE AMENITY AREAS TO HAVE\nTREES , NOT JUST PAVEMENTS.\nAMEND [ INAUDIBLE ] TRAY\nRETENTION ENTRY PLANNING. AND [\nINAUDIBLE ] FOREST OPTIONS TO\nREPLACE STREET PARKING. AS\nPLANNED, NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS\nWILL BE 100% HARD SCAPE WITH NO\nSPACE FOR TREES. [ INAUDIBLE ]\nWOEFULLY INADEQUATE TO MEET\nCURRENT GOALS. ADDING THESE\nCHANGES [ INAUDIBLE ] DOES NOT\nAFFECT HOUSING CAPACITY AND\nWOULD BUILD HEALTHY, WALKABLE, [\nINAUDIBLE ] NEIGHBORHOOD\nCENTERS. FOR FUTURE SEATTLEITES.\nTHANK YOU.\nTHANK YOU, JESSICA. I WOULD\nLIKE TO CIRCLE BACK A COUPLE\nNAMES THAT WE CALLED EARLIER,\nJOANNA CULLEN AND DEB LESTER.\nJOANNA CULLEN, IF YOU'RE\nAVAILABLE, CAN YOU HIT *6?\nOKAY, MOVING ON TO DEB LESTER.\nIF YOU ARE AVAILABLE, COULD YOU\nHIT *6?\nHELLO, HI, MY NAME IS DEB\nLESTER, I'M SPEAKING ABOUT\nPROPOSAL [ INAUDIBLE ] OUR LOCKS\nWILL ESSENTIALLY BE 100%\nIMPERVIOUS WITH [ INAUDIBLE ].\nUSABLE GREEN SPACE, NOT LIMITED\nTO NEIGHBORHOODS. THE CITY\nPLANNED STREETSCAPE WILL\nMITIGATE TREE LOSS, HOWEVER, [\nINAUDIBLE ] THIS IS NOT\nPALPABLE. [ INAUDIBLE ] WITH THE\nEXCEPTION OF A FEW AREAS ON\nROOSEVELT NORTHEAST, [ INAUDIBLE\n] THERE ARE ESSENTIALLY NO\nSTREET TREES ON SIDE STREETS [\nINAUDIBLE ] NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER\nCURRENTLY. 90% OF ALL TREES IN\nTHE MAPLE LEAF NEIGHBORHOOD\nCENTER ARE PRIVATE PROPERTY. [\nINAUDIBLE ] PLEASE REQUIRE\nAMENITY AREAS [ INAUDIBLE ]\nAMEND THE GREEN FACTOR [\nINAUDIBLE ] AND PLANNING. WE CAN\nHAVE DENSITY AND TREES, AND WE\nALSO NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING.\nIT'S NOT REALLY HAPPENING WITH\nTHE CURRENT PLAN.\nTHANK YOU. WE HAVE A FEW MORE\nSPEAKERS, AND THEN WE WILL\nCIRCLE BACK TO ANYBODY WHO WE\nALREADY CALLED ON THAT DIDN'T\nGET A CHANCE TO SPEAK. SO, NEXT\nUP, THE NEXT FEW SPEAKERS ARE\nBONNIE WILLIAMS, MICHAEL\nELIASSON, AND CHRISTINA PEARSON\n.

[ INAUDIBLE ] HAS\nDEMONSTRATED NO FLEXIBILITY [\nINAUDIBLE ] FROM OUR INTERACTION\nTHE PAST FEW YEARS. IT IS UP TO\nYOU, THE COUNCIL, TO PLAN FOR\nGROWTH FOR NEWCOMERS AND\nLONG-TERM RESIDENTS. IN PHASE 2,\nWE WERE TOLD [ INAUDIBLE ] NEED\nTO NEGOTIATE THE HEIGHTS, AND\nTHAT NEGOTIATION HAS NOT\nHAPPENED. I WILL SEND A LOCATION\nMAP OF THE ACTUAL LOCATION TO\nTHE COUNCIL.

"headline": "Seattle Select Committee on Comprehensive Plan Holds Phase 2 Public Hearing on Centers and Corridors Zoning Ordinance",
"summary": "On April 6, 2026, the Select Committee on the Comprehensive Plan chaired by Council Member Lin held Session I of a public hearing on Phase 2 of the One Seattle Comprehensive Plan — specifically an ordinance amending Chapter 23.32 of the Seattle Municipal Code to establish new neighborhood center and corridor zoning. The session was entirely public comment; no council deliberation or votes occurred. Approximately 50 remote speakers testified over roughly two and a half hours. The committee recessed at 10:54 a.m. and was scheduled to reconvene at 3:00 p.m. for in-person testimony (City Hall open until 6:30 p.m.).",
"keyPoints": [
"The ordinance under consideration rezones areas around transit corridors and designates approximately 30 neighborhood centers citywide, implementing Phase 2 of the One Seattle Plan.",
"A recurring demand from pro-housing speakers: extend multifamily zoning beyond the immediate half-block of arterials into quieter side streets, arguing current policy forces renters to live on high-traffic, polluted corridors.",
"A coordinated bloc of Northeast Seattle District 4 speakers (Bill Scott, Sarah Scott, Jim Gann, Ann Tyson, Beth Birnbaum, Colleen McAleer) petitioned to relocate a proposed LR-3 strip on NE 45th Street between 40th and 45th Ave NE, citing steep grade (~12%), no transit hub, and no commercial services — and proposing an alternative site nearby with transit and retail.",
"Multiple speakers requested a 'courtyard block bonus' and height bonuses for green buildings as incentives that balance tree retention with housing density; architect Hans Rasmussen and Logan Schmidt were explicit supporters.",
"A significant number of speakers — including Orla, Nollie Matt Shaw, Gabriel Kennedy Gibbons, Lynn, Jessica Dixon, and Deb Lester — called for mandatory tree requirements in amenity areas, amendment of the Green Factor standard, and pocket forest options, warning that neighborhood centers as planned will be 100% hardscape.",
"Several speakers raised displacement concerns for low-income residents, seniors, and disabled veterans, particularly in neighborhoods slated for upzoning without nearby services or transit.",
"Marilyn Smith flagged a specific ordinance drafting issue: the December-passed legislation defines neighborhood centers using 'and/or' rather than 'and' when combining commercial activity with transit access, which she argued allows substandard locations to qualify.",
"Bob Morgan raised potential legal vulnerability: the bill creates abrupt zoning transitions where corridor zones meet Neighborhood Residential zones, which he argued conflicts with existing land use code transition criteria and could invite legal challenge; he recommended LR-1 or LR-2 within 50 feet of NR lots.",
"Megan Cruz (downtown resident) asked the city to publish a future land use map for downtown and cited a 27% occasional-vacancy rate for downtown units as evidence that building boom has not produced affordability; she supported land value recapture and historic-building residential conversion.",
"Rick K argued upzoning does not equal growth, that the plan gives away zoning value without binding commitments to actual construction, and that it may legally constrain future administrations from requiring developer contributions.",
"Jeff Friedman (affordable housing architect) flagged a split-zone problem at the Isaac Culver House senior housing site (140 units, 75-year-old facility), asking the council to extend corridor boundaries just enough to include the entire parcel.",
"Alexandra Johnson, speaking on behalf of a South Park organization, noted that all zoning proposed for the South Park neighborhood center requires a minimum 60% AMI, which is unaffordable to existing residents; she asked the council to convert LR-1 to LR-3 and adopt affordable housing overlay zones.",
"Infrastructure objections were common: West Seattle speakers cited 16-foot-wide streets (Map 184, 46th Ave SW), no sidewalks, inability of emergency vehicles to navigate turns, and streets already served by smaller city garbage trucks due to width constraints."
],
"decisions": [
"No votes or legislative decisions were made. This session was solely for public testimony.",
"The committee recessed at 10:54 a.m. and was scheduled to resume at 3:00 p.m. for in-person public comment, with City Hall open until 6:30 p.m.",
"Speakers unable to complete testimony were directed to email the full council at council@seattle.gov."
],
"followUps": [
"Session 2 (in-person public comment) was scheduled for 3:00 p.m. the same day; any remote speakers not reached in Session 1 were to be recognized there.",
"Bonnie Williamson (president of an unnamed council or neighborhood group) stated she would send a location map to the council regarding height transition issues on maps 31, 32, and 62.",
"Marilyn Smith's request to amend the 'and/or' language in the neighborhood center definition would require a council action to revisit the December ordinance.",
"Bob Morgan's legal-transition argument implies a potential amendment or director's report clarification would be needed before the ordinance is finalized.",
"The committee has not yet held the second phase of the public hearing or taken up any amendments; further sessions are expected before a vote."

"uncertainty": "Key uncertainties include whether upzoning actually produces affordability (skeptics argue missing-middle projects are too costly and aren't being built), whether the District 4 alternative-site proposal will gain traction, whether the 'and/or' vs. 'and' discrepancy in neighborhood center criteria poses a legal vulnerability, whether corridor zones will be widened to move housing off arterials, and whether the engagement process will be reformed given widespread criticism of its legitimacy. The legal risk from abrupt zoning transitions between upzoned parcels and NR zones also remains unresolved."

"text": "# Comprehensive Plan Phase 2 — Public Hearing Session I (April 6, 2026)\n\n**Legislation on the table:** CB 121173, amending Seattle Municipal Code Chapter 23.32 (land use and zoning) as part of Comprehensive Plan Phase 2 — Neighborhood Centers and Corridors. Public hearing opened; no vote taken.\n\n---\n\n## Key Policy Fault Lines\n\n### 1. Upzoning economics — does it actually produce affordability?\n- **Skeptics** (Rick K., Scott, Melissa Nair of AI Seattle) argued missing-middle projects are too costly for developers and aren't being built, meaning Mandatory Housing Affordability funds aren't being raised. Rick K. framed the entire proposal as \"deregulation that prioritizes displacement over genuine growth.\"\n- **Supporters** (Patrick Taylor, unnamed speakers) countered that insufficient supply is the root of the crisis and urged the council to pass the plan quickly.\n\n### 2. Where density lands — arterials vs. side streets\nA cross-ideological cluster of speakers (Ryan Tallon, a Harborview nurse; Shirley Leon, asthma patient; Dave Mentz; Kate Rubin; Monica Hong) argued housing is being pushed onto high-traffic arterials, causing health harms (asthma, dementia risk). They urged **widening corridor zones to at least half a mile** so multifamily housing can be built on quieter side streets. This was one of the hearing's most internally coherent coalitions.\n\n### 3. Site-specific zoning disputes — concentrated NE Seattle and West Seattle opposition\n- **NE 45th Street / 40th–48th Ave NE (District 4):** Colleen McAleer (representing 3,400 residents), Jim Gann (disabled veteran), Sarah Scott, Beth Birnbaum, Ann Tyson, and William Scott all opposed proposed upzoning in this area — citing steep slopes, no transit hub, no commercial services, displacement of seniors/veterans, and failure to meet the One Seattle Plan's own neighborhood-center criteria. Multiple speakers said they had identified a **better alternative site** nearby that could absorb the same ~120 units without displacing vulnerable residents.\n- **West Seattle — 36th/37th Ave SW** (Greg Murphy): opposed NR → LR-3, citing 50-ft buildings incompatible with existing homes, narrow streets, and two miles to nearest rapid transit.\n- **46th Ave SW, Map 184** (Maggie Lewis): opposed NR → LR-3 on a 16-foot-wide street where emergency vehicles already can't turn.\n- **39th Ave SW** (Scott): opposed NR → LR-2, calling it economically unviable for affordable development.\n- **South Park** (Alexandra Johnson): argued proposed zoning requires minimum 60% AMI — unaffordable for existing residents displaced at 4× the citywide rate. Advocated converting LR-1 to LR-3 with affordable housing overlay zones to serve 0–80% AMI households.\n\n### 4. Tree canopy and environmental trade-offs\nStrong, organized testimony (Gabriel Kennedy Gibbons, Matt Shaw, Deb Lester, Orla, Caroline Villanova) demanded **mandatory tree retention in the Green Factor**, pocket forests in rights-of-way, and amenity-area tree requirements. Slogan: \"dense forests for dense housing.\" Speakers cited Spokane outperforming Seattle on canopy goals and warned proposed density creates near-100% impervious surfaces conflicting with salmon recovery goals.\n\n### 5. Abrupt zoning transitions and legal risk\nBob Morgan and another commenter warned that upzoned parcels sharing boundaries with NR zones create **abrupt transitions that violate existing land use code** and the Director's Report. A commenter argued change-up zones within 50 feet of NR lots should be capped at LR-1 or LR-2, warning the current proposal is legally vulnerable.\n\n### 6. Engagement process legitimacy\nMultiple speakers (Scott, Sarah Davis, Caroline Villanova, Bonnie Williamson, Judy) called the process inadequate or \"performative.\" Scott said most 39th Ave SW neighbors only learned of the rezoning in January. Sarah Davis claimed councilmembers told residents \"fighting the plan is pointless because the votes aren't there.\" The council previously rejected an amendment requiring notification mailers. Villanova offered her network of 130+ grassroots groups to improve outreach.\n\n---\n\n## Notable Stakeholder Positions\n\n| Stakeholder | Position |\n|---|---|\n| **Seattle Planning Commission** (Alvarez/Dylan) | Formally supports adoption; wants mitigation of public-health impacts of concentrated growth; supports finalizing future land use map and corridor zone boundaries |\n| **Complete Community Coalition** / Michael Eliasson (Seattle Developers) | Supports courtyard bonuses, green-building height bonuses, corridor zoning for healthier environments, setback adjustments, affordable-housing provider amendments |\n| **Christina Pearson** (tribal representative) | Urged prioritizing Indigenous voices, cultural heritage, and housing access in zoning decisions |\n| **NE Seattle neighborhood bloc** (McAleer, Gann, Scott, Birnbaum, Tyson) | Organized opposition to NE 45th St upzoning; proposed alternative site |\n\n## Popular Amendment Ideas (Multi-Speaker Support)\n- **Courtyard housing bonus** (Mentz, Rasmussen, Eliasson, Logan Schmidt, Hong)\n- **Green building / Passive House height bonuses** (Mentz, Tallon, Eliasson)\n- **Wider corridor zones** to move housing off arterials (Tallon, Leon, Hong)\n- **Mandatory tree retention** in Green Factor and amenity areas (Gibbons, Shaw, Lester, Orla)\n- **Affordable housing overlay** for high-displacement neighborhoods (A. Johnson)\n\n## What to Watch\n- Whether the District 4 NE 45th Street bloc's alternative-site proposal gains traction in amendment drafting\n- Whether the council addresses the \"and/or\" vs. \"and\" discrepancy in neighborhood center designation criteria between the Director's Report and December legislation — flagged as a potential legal vulnerability\n- Whether corridor width expansion (arterial health concerns) becomes a formal amendment\n- Session II (afternoon, in-person) will add additional testimony; no vote date was announced at this hearing",
