Ms. Blanchard reviewed the types of services that would be provided based on individual resident needs (mental health services, supportive employment and chemical dependency services). Ms. Blanchard clarified that caseworker to resident ratio would range from 1 -12 to 1 -40 depending on the needs of each resident. Mr. Robertson asked how the facility would be managed. Ms. Blanchard noted that together LIM and SMH would provide on -site management and 24 hour clinical services. Ms. Linder asked for an additional information to be provided to council: a description of projects undertaken by Housing First, eligibility requirements and how residents would be screened, definition of the city's commitment (e.g., total amount, in -kind commitments, span for payment), and identify number of units set aside for resident and those for services. She offered to review the packet of information prior to submittal to council. Forward to Committee of the Whole for discussion. >k B. Clarification of "buildable lots" and Zoning Code amendments Mr. Lancaster noted that in 1995 the City established the minimum lot size for low density residential (LDR) district at 6,500 sq. ft. for single family dwelling. To clarify the intent and effect of "substandard lots," a moratorium was imposed in order to allow the city an opportunity to reaffirm its intention and clarify the code. Mr. Lancaster pointed out that there has been more development in Allentown as a result of sewers being installed. There are many lots which are 2,500 -3,000 sq. ft that were platted and recorded. Mr. Lancaster continued and stated that at the January 16 regular council meeting, a public hearing will be held on the moratorium. Then, a process will begin to clarify the amendment to the ordinance. He discussed the proposed changes, striking "dimensional standards" and inserting "average lot width standard." He noted that an owner of a substandard lot can apply for a variance. He reviewed the other proposed changes. Ms. Carter suggested using "standard for average lot width" rather than "average lot width standard." Forward to January 16 regular meeting for public hearing. New Business Mr. Robertson asked about plans for Tukwila Urban Center. Mr. Lancaster hoped that plans would year. be available this ear. Ms. Linder and others discussed timing and process for review of the development agreement submitted by Segale. Mr. Robertson noted that he would be out of town from February 6 -20 and requested council discussions not being scheduled during this time on this topic. Ms. Berry related that a presentation is planned for the January 22 Committee of the Whole. Staff would listen to the presentation and prepare a response. Ms. Linder stressed the importance of having adequate time to review the material and suggested that staff brief individual council members. Ms. Carter remarked that the council could listen to the presentation and ask clarifying questions; consideration of this matter would occur at a future council meeting. Questions arose regarding whether or not the developer's agreement is adopted by ordinance or approved by resolution; this will be reviewed.
