would be responsible for 40% of the cost. The City's share of the cost would be
approximately $150,000 which is identified in the project budget.

limits in unincorporated King County. The subject property is a vacant parcel located in

adoption of the proposed zoning and require assumption of existing indebtedness. If
accepted by the Council, the applicant will draft a petition to be signed by 60% of the
effected property owners, King County would certify and then the City would hold a public
hearing. Further discussion was held regarding service impacts, possible wetlands on the
property, the property owners desire to eventually change zoning from multi - family to
neighborhood commercial and other annexation questions. Staff notified the property
owner that a comprehensive plan amendment would be a separate process.
Committee forwarded Option #1 to the business agenda.
