Speaker 3: The Report of the Planning and Zoning Committee Agenda Item 12 Resolution 31807 relating to the Seattle Comprehensive Plan. Revising the procedures and the criteria for consideration of proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan as part of the annual docket and repealing resolutions 31402 and 31117. The committee recommends the resolution be adopted.
Speaker 2: Concerning Johnson or my colleagues with a rundown of what the docket and process is, because I know you all know it well, but this resolution does three main things and modifies the schedule for the annual amendments cycle. It modifies some of the docket setting criteria to be more consistent with the current nomenclature of organizations like the Puget Sound Regional Council. And it establishes that we will take a hiatus from the darkening process this year. Happy to answer questions of Focus Avenue, but encourage your support.
Speaker 0: Or get any further comments. Cancer herbal.
Speaker 6: Thank you. I just want to speak to some public comment that I received after the committee discussion. There's still some concern that that this hiatus from accepting amendments from the public will impact the ability of council members to bring forward amendments that members of the public might bring to us. Just want to clarify that there is a members of the public talking process, but separate from that, there's a councilmember docking process and that councilmember docking process by which we will have the opportunity to propose our own amendments and amendments that members of the public convince us to bring forward. We will still be having that correct.
Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am. The the formal doctoring process through the public is a much longer process, as you know, Councilmember Herbold. But as the council reviews the comprehensive plan only once per year, it's our opportunity to make those annual changes. This year, we'll be making them knock on wood in conjunction with the implementation of our mandatory housing affordability program. That will be the time at which council members can propose changes through our own personal offices and would encourage any members of the public to bring those issues forward and encourage council members to work with central staff in the development of those, but also ask that you run them through the Planning Commission, who traditionally reviews those items to be added to the comprehensive plan for their review, as well as the Office of Planning Community Development, too.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 0: Very good. Any further comments? Not those in. Those in favor of adopting the resolution. Please vote i i those opposed vote no.
