Council determined they needed additional time to review the ordinance. Councilmember Robertson listed several issues needing clarification. Steve Lawrence, 4461 S. 144th St., asked that Council take a close look at TMC 18.46.090, Relationship to Adjacent Areas. Lawrence stated that the terms in this section seemed to protect the public from certain developments that they were not comfortable with, but according to legal experts, were unenforceable in court. He suggested Council develop a statement explaining how the City will determine what is compatible and the process involved in this determination. Council's finding must be supportable in court. Councilmember Robertson suggested including some type of wording that would bring a threshold requirement into play such as "if the site contains sensitive areas and their buffers that exceed percent of the total site area (The actual percentage to be determined by staff.) Robertson also requested the phrase "dwellings that are constructed are harmonious to surrounding residential character and building environment" be added back into the ordinance.

Mayor Rants suggested that a land use attorney be present at next week's COW to review the issues prior to the meeting.
