ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Planning Manager Hansen went over the Administrative Report distributed with the agenda packet. He
stated he believes it is important to keep the Commission aware of major activities that are happening
within the community. He intends to hold a Planning Commission meeting at least once -a -month to keep
the Commisisoners informed. Planning Manager Hansen asked if the Commissioners were interested in a
Planning Short Course and Commissioners responded that would like to have the training and one issue
they would like to hear about are legal aspects.
Sound Transit's technical team for Station 3 has decided to meet every other week. Two issues that the
Planning Commission representatives addressed at their last meeting are consider as part of their four
major issues. The issues are predesdrians crossing 320`h and parking.
There is a growing interest expressed within the city for allowance of more urban -farm oriented activity
and agritourism (such as wineries). Staff is looking at possible options and necessary code changes to
allow such activity.
The Historic Preservation Ordinance went through its first reading at last night's council meeting. It is
expected to adopted after the second reading on July 5, 2017.

Staff is looking at the potential of developing a view corridor overlay zone within the city in order to
provide protection in certain identified areas. Measures and ordinances adopted by other jurisdictions are
being identified and evaluated for consideration.
Council has directed staff to continue to research different housing options and housing design guidelines.
The Commisison's next meeting will be July 19, 2017.
COMMISSION BUSINESS
Discussion — Proposed Comprehensive Plan and Development Regulations Amendments
Principal Planner Clark delivered the staff presentation. The pupose of this discussion is to provide
information; no analysis of the propsed amendments have been done as yet. She reviewed the 2016
Planning Commission Work Program and the status of the items. She noted that staff is working with
Sound Transit to address development regulations and light rail in the downtown area. One question staff
is researching is allowing uses that are compatible with each other next to each other regardless of the
zone. She went over the site-specific requests. One had been withdrawn, so currently we have 12 requests
(the requests include those received in 2015 and 2016). There is one request for a development regulation
amendment to allow campgrounds within the city. Principal Planner Clark went on to describe the
potential 2017 Planning Commisison Work Program. The next step is to present the site-specific requests
to the City Council for a selection process; whereby, the Council will decide which site-specifc requests
should be considered further.
Commissioner O'Neil asked why did it take so long to handle the site-specific requests? He is concnerned
how the timiming could affect the developers and/or owners. Principal Planner Clark responded that
normally it does not take this long. This time it took longer due to staffing issues and the multi -family
moratorium.
Commissioner Carlson asked for details regarding the campground request. Principal Planner Clark
responded that we have no details, other than that the applicant stated a need for a place for RVs.
Commisisoner Carlson wondered if the applicant intends the campgrounds to be a place for the homeless.
Principal Planner Clark replied that does not seem to be the intent.
Commissioner Noble-Gulliford asked for elaboration of the public involvement process. Principal Planner
Clark responded that staff intends to meet with agency representatives and developers early in the process
(once the Council has gone through the selection process). Commissioner Noble-Gulliford stated it would
be good to include people from the neighborhoods. Principal Planner Clark stated staff will research
including them.
Commissioner Meader McCausland asked if the proposed agrotourism zoning would include more than
just wineries. Chair Bronson asked if distilleries would be included. Planning Manager Hansen replied
that wineries is just an example and many types of agricultural business will be considered. Distilleries
and breweries could be included. Staff needs to research the most appropriate zoning for the various
possible businesses.
Commissioner Meader McCausland stated that in the past, the city had been researching and working
with manufactured home parks (one issue being taxes); will this continue? Principal Planner Clark replied
that the city will not be moving forward with this issue at this time.

Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 June 21, 2017
There was one public comment:
Judy Zurilgen — She lives in the Lakota area and is also representing other Lakota residents
(Protect Lakota Citizens). They are concerned with the 27 acres critical area (Lakota Creek area
near the Lakota Treatment Plant), currently being developed as Lakota Creek. Since purchase,
there has been a large amount of improper development, tree cutting, and land moving without
silt fencing. Wants the Commission to be aware of issues in this area in light of the Lakota Site -
Specific Request. She went over some of the history of the area. She wants the Commisison to be
aware of the illegal activity that is happening. She encourages the Planning Commission to
maintain critical areas.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
Commissioner Noble-Gulliford commented that last night the council voted to use different priorities for
transportation projects; it will no longer be concurrency, safety will be the higher priority. She would
like to know how this decision is likely to affect planning and growth in the future. Planning Manager
Hansen commented that staff is not prepared to address this issue tonight, but can research it and give
some clarification at a later date. Chair Bronson requested the issue be added to the next Planning
Commission agenda.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:30 P.M.
