Derek Speck, Peggy McCarthy, Brandon Miles, Minnie Dhaliwal, Jack Pace and Kimberly Matej Guests: Sandra Kruize CALL TO ORDER: Committee Chair Seal called the meeting to order at 5:02 p.m. I. PRESENTATIONS No presentations. II. BUSINESS AGENDA A. Crisis Diversion Facilities: Ordinance Reveal and Ammendment Staff is seeking Council approval to repeal Ordinance No. 2332 regarding the location of Crisis Diversion (CDF) and Crisis Diversion Interim Facilities (CDIS) within the City of Tukwila. This repeal is being requested as a result of a decision made by the King County Superior Court on September 16, 2011, which overturned a previous decision by the Central Puget Sound Growth Management Board (Board). Ordinance No. 2332 expanded the location of the above facilities in response to the Board's assertion that a previous ordinance (No. 2287) did not comply with the provisions of the Growth Management Act. Since Superior Court has reversed the Board's decision, the City is now able to repeal Ordinance No. 2332, and revert back to original Ordinance No. 2287. In addition to the repeal, staff is requesting an amendment to Ordinance No. 2287, which would include a revised definition of CDF /CDIS facilities to be consistent with State legislation. This revised definition was included in Ordinance No. 2332. A public hearing will be scheduled on this item for the October 24 COW. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 24 COW FOR DISCUSSION AND PUBLIC HEARING. B. Low Densitv Residential Zone Development Standards Staff is seeking Committee direction on how to proceed with policy standards relative to low density residential zone development. This item originally came forward to Council in 2007 in response to concerns regarding development of residential infill that did not appear to be compatible with existing structures. Concerns regarding such infill were not completely addressed at the time, and staff is now seeking policy direction from the Committee regarding such standards. After discussion, the Committee Members determined that it is in the best interest of the community for staff to review the calculations for building height in regards to infill and existing structures while balancing the needs of the community without discouraging development. This item will move forward to the Planning Commission for review and work as appropriate and return to Committee and Council with a recommendation. The Committee suggested that other issues such as setbacks, lot sizes and variances in regards to low density residential development be looked at during the Comprehensive Plan review process. FORWARD TO PLANNING COMMISSION FOR REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION. III.
