She said this <br />version of the plan was adopted in 1995 and was last reviewed in 2004. She said that written testimony <br />was received and handed out to the Planning Commission Members. Then she introduced Brandon <br />Miles. <br />Brandon Miles, Economic Development, Planner, gave the overview on the Tukwila South element. He <br />explained that the goal of the Tukwila South element is to make the Comprehensive Plan consistent with <br />the policy's entitlements that have been approved by the City Council over the last 10 years, He said that <br />the existing element is out dated because some of the goals and policies have been completed. The <br />Development Agreement has been completed as well as the Sensitive Areas Master Plan, the EIS, <br />permitting, and a preliminary sub - division. The current element references and incorporates the plans and <br />sensitive areas map into the Comprehensive Plan; but it doesn't change anything the City Council has <br />already approved. The plan does not change the zoning of any of the properties owned in Tukwila South <br />nor any of the permitted uses. The format is different, which is consistent with what the City's been using <br />
