Planning Commission Minutes <br />4/25/25 Meeting <br />Page 5 <br />Senior Planner Neil Tabor provided background on the Community Residential (CR) Rezone <br />Map Code Amendment, noting that its intent is to consolidate the current Low Density <br />Residential (LDR) and Medium Density Residential (MDR) zones into a new CR. This change <br />was envisioned by the Comprehensive Plan. <br />The PC had no clarifying questions. <br />Recommendation: Staff is requesting that the PC forward a recommendation for adoption of <br />the draft code amendments to the CC. <br />Public Hearing <br />Chair Durant opened the public hearing. <br />Staff noted that no public comment letters on the hearing item were received prior to the <br />meeting. <br />Public Testimony <br />1. Sam Pace, Housing Specialist, Seattle King County Realtor, said he represents 6,000 <br />realtors in King County. <br />Mr. Pace requested during his testimony in the first hearing that his comments be carried <br />forth to the subsequent hearings tonight. Please reference minutes for Public Hearing #1 <br />for those comments. <br />2. Gina Bernhardt Nielsen, Resident <br />Ms. Bernhardt Nielsen commented that the combination of changes into one zone was too <br />extensive. She said that people who may have recently purchased homes in neighborhoods <br />with large parcels may be assuming that their property would be protected from the result <br />of the proposed zone change. These property owners could experience new, more <br />intensive development in their areas as a result. She said the change may be more <br />extensive than needed (i.e., the LDR/MDR zone changing to CR zone) and it should be re- <br />evaluated to deteiiuine if it is necessary. <br />Chair Durant closed the public hearing. <br />There was no deliberation. <br />Motion <br />Commissioner McLeland Wieser moved to approve Case Number L25-0030 draft code <br />amendments and to forward it to the CC for their adoption. Commissioner Ho seconded <br />the motion. Motion carried. <br />3. PUBLIC HEARING #3: Title 18 — Title 17 Subdivisions and Plats - Code <br />Amendment - L25-0031 <br />The proposal applies citywide. <br />Phone: 206-433-1800 • Email: Mayor@TukwilaWA.gov • Website: TukwilaWA.gov <br />
