Speaker 1: Agenda Item 14 Council Bill 119 439 relating to land since only in many section 23.40 1.0 ten of the system. The Speaker to approve the 2019 Uptown Neighborhood Design Guidelines Committee recommend still pass.
Speaker 0: From Johnson.
Speaker 4: To the Uptown Neighborhood. The Uptown neighborhood also is the beneficiary of having had some zoning changes in the last several years. This does set a design guidelines is really reflective of the community as it is today. And we had several very poignant moments in committee where we had folks coming to us and suggesting that the current design guidelines weren't working for them because the neighborhood wants to see development that is more funky, is more artistic, is more in concert with what their neighborhood itself identifies as. But their current design guidelines don't allow for that kind of flexibility and that kind of encouragement. And so these new design guidelines, do they put an emphasis on habitat of native species? They put an emphasis on important locations, gateways, corner sites and sites adjacent to Seattle Center and really try to incentivize developers to make this more the arts district that it is through visual interpretation in a lot of their buildings in Uptown, also a project that has been through several years of public comment and very excited to finally be able to bring this one forward.
Speaker 0: Very good councilman picture.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Councilmember Johnson. Thank you. And thanks to all of those folks from our uptown neighborhood. I want to recognize in particular Rick Hooper and many of us know Deb FRAUSTO, her partner, Allen Hart, who have done a lot around the urban design framework. I'm really excited about this, especially when we've got the art and culture overlay coming in with our new arena just outside making the connection for Belltown, not Belltown residents as well as uptown residents around the Arena and Seattle Center is going to make a big difference. So thanks for shepherding this one.
