Planning Commission Minutes 3/14/24 Page 4 PUBLIC HEARING - Closed Chair Sidhu closed the public hearing at 7:21 p.m. He then described the process to be used in reviewing the Comp Plan elements, to be discussed one -by -one. • Community Character Commissioner Mann moved to forward the Community Character element goals and policies to the CC for their review. Commissioner Probst seconded the motion. The motion carried. • Land Use Commissioner Strander asked staff to address the PC options in addressing the rezone request. Staff noted the options, discussed the reasons for the moratorium on rezone applications approved by the CC and noted that rezone requests could be submitted in late 2025. Commissioner Mann asked if approving rezone requests at this time would eliminate the need for the applicants to submit an application. Staff stated that it would and that the CC could approve a rezone submitted as a public comment (i.e., not as a formal rezone application) during the Comp Plan update process. Commissioner Teague asked if staff had had the opportunity to review or analyze the effect of the rezone proposals being requested. Staff said no. Director Gierloff stated that the PC could recommend that the CC study those rezone requests further and gave some examples of options of recommendations that the PC could forward to the CC as part of their overall Comp Plan Amendment packet. Commissioner Mann suggested that the rezone issue be moved to CC for consideration to change the land use map. Commissioner Strander was in consensus. No vote was taken on this suggestion. Commissioner Durant moved for staff to complete an analysis of rezone requests and to include the analysis with the draft of the Land Use element to be forwarded to CC. Commissioner Mann seconded the motion. Commissioner Teague moved for a "friendly amendment" to allow the rezone requests and draft land use element to go to CC for them to determine if there should be further study on the rezone requests. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Probst. The friendly amendment motion failed. Commissioner Mann called the vote on Commissioner Durant's original motion. The motion failed. Commissioner Strander moved to forward the land use element to the CC for review, including research to be completed by the staff on the rezone requests from the speakers this evening, to be incorporated for Council when they receive the element. This motion includes the following recommended amendment to the Public and Private Investment goal: Phone: 206-433-1800 • Email: Mayor@TukwilaWA.gov • Website: TukwilaWA.g©v
