BAR/PC Meeting <br />8/25/22 <br />Page 4 <br />that could be considered outside of the annual docketing process. Ms. Gierloff replied that she had <br />never seen one, but we did need to allow for the possibility. The proposed language limiting the <br />determination of what applications might qualify for treatment as an emergency to staff was suggested <br />by the City Attorney due to staff seeing them months before Council review. Commissioner Strander <br />then asked clarifying questions about other code sections. <br />Commissioner Probst asked whether staff had received any additional comments, requests, or <br />direction from the PC on this topic since the last meeting. Ms. Gierloff replied that they had not. <br />Commissioner Teague explored adding language to 18.82.030 A giving more guidance to the Council <br />about what type of amendments would be appropriate for different levels of review. Ms. Gierloff <br />suggested differentiating between administrative, procedural, substantive, and policy amendments. The <br />motion did not receive a second. <br />Commissioner Strander expressed her concern that the proposed changes would reduce opportunities <br />for public and PC input. There was general discussion and questioning by the PC. Ms. Gierloff outlined <br />the range of PC options this evening as: <br />1. Recommending denial of the ordinance as written. <br />2. Continue this to the September meeting and hold another public hearing in order to bring back <br />additional Commissioners into the discussion. <br />3. Continue working to craft language to address the concerns expressed and send that amended <br />language on to the Council. <br />4. Move the ordinance forward, giving staff general direction to develop more specific language <br />about process for different types of amendments. That would be reviewed by the City Attorney <br />before being sent to Council. <br />5. Recommend approval of the ordinance. <br />There was general discussion, with various Commissioners expressing support for each of the options <br />but there was not consensus on whether or how to amend the ordinance. <br />Motion <br />Commissioner Strander made a motion not to adopt the Ordinance and Commissioner Simmons <br />seconded. The motion passed unanimously. <br />Director's Report <br />None <br />Commissioner Martinez suggested that the Commission take a tour of recent projects. <br />Motion to adjourn by Simmons, seconded by Martinez, passed unanimously. <br />Submitted by: Nora Gierloff and Breyden Jager <br />Adopted: 9/22/22 <br />Phone: 206-433-1800 • Email: Mayor@TukwilaWA.gov • Website: TukwilaWA.gov <br />
