Speaker 1: Agenda Item four Council Bill 120287 An ordinance relating to land use and zoning, updating regulations for rooftop features and amending sections of the Seattle Municipal Code. The committee recommends the bill passed as amended.
Speaker 0: Councilmember Strauss.
Speaker 2: Thank you. As Clerk, Schwinn stated, this is a comfortable one 2287 Updating Regulations for rooftop features. This legislation updates regulations for equipment and features on the rooftops of buildings. Last year, we adopted the strongest energy code in the nation for new buildings. And to comply with these new regulations, we do require new mechanical equipment, and these regulations make it easier to accomplish. So the new energy code requires more ASP aspects and features equipment on the roofs. The legislation before us today makes it easier to accommodate the needed equipment on rooftops. The legislation before us today also updates regulations specific to Pioneer Square in Chinatown International District to provide more flexibility for rooftop amenities, including rooftop bars, restaurants in certain circumstances in Pioneer Square and to allow for faster elevators because we're allowing folks to build higher. In committee, we adopted two amendments one technical corrections to the legislation and the other changes to rooftop requirements in certain zones in Chinatown International District to align with requirements for other high rise zones in the city. Elevators in which I just referenced Council president colleagues. That is the committee report.
