[2:53] you more time, but if they give you
more time then they have to give
[2:56] another person more time as well, so
just please take that into
consideration.
[3:00] But council has the ability to do
that.
[3:02] Who would like to make public
comment?
[3:11] Hi. Um, my name is Jenna Decker and I
am part of our Guide Dog group in
Enumclaw.
[3:17] We wanted to bring Milwaukee, who is
my 29th dog of raising in the club.
[3:24] We have a 40th anniversary in
Enumclaw.
[3:27] Our Guide Dog group has been here for
40 years since 86, 87, or yeah, 85,
86.
[3:33] We had our first dog come into
Enumclaw.
[3:37] And so far we have raised, Enumclaw
has raised 308 dogs.
[3:42] Of those 308 dogs, um, about 131 of
them have become guide dogs for the
blind.
[3:47] We are having our celebration of 40
years, August 22nd, 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
[3:52] at Trinity Lutheran.
[3:55] And we would love anybody to come.
[3:57] We do have a puppy truck coming.
[3:58] There's a truck that's bringing in on
six, eight week old puppies to our um
celebration.
[4:05] The razors will get dogs, um, six,
six families will get our dogs.
[4:10] In Enumclaw, you guys have raised,
had 80 over 88 families that have
done raising.
[4:17] School district has been amazing for
us.
[4:20] The businesses have been amazing for
us.
[4:22] This is one community that accepts
our dogs coming in for training.
[4:26] The restaurants are very good about
it.
[4:29] Um, everything in Enumclaw with us
having our dogs there for 40 years
has been amazing.
[4:35] So we thank you. We're here just to
thank you guys
[4:37] for allowing this to happen.
[4:40] 40 years is a big deal.
[4:41] We have a lot of people and
communities that we've impacted by
doing this.
[4:47] Um, the people that we've impacted
have been amazing.
[4:50] So we want to thank you, we want to
invite you August 22nd to Trinity
Lutheran 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
[4:56] Um, we have advertisements on the
triangle, we're putting on community,
so.
[5:00] any have any questions, be sure and
let us know,
[5:03] but it's guide dogs for the blind,
[5:04] so we would appreciate anybody
coming. Thank you.
[5:08] [keyboarding]
Thanks for public comment, sir.
[5:13] And just as a heads up, the green
light means three minutes have
started,
[5:16] yellow light means 30 seconds, red
light is three minutes are up.
[5:19] Okay.
[5:20] So I'll go ahead and start this off.
[5:21] I know there's some concerned
citizens of my neighborhood,
[5:24] so my name's Greg Adams.
[5:25] I live at
[5:26] 24611 Southeast 448th Street
[5:30] or Roosevelt.
[5:34] Thank you, Mr. Mayor and City
Council.
[5:37] I've lived in Enumclaw for all my
life.
[5:39] I was born and raised here.
[5:41] I've seen many changes in this town.
[5:44] I haven't opposed many.
[5:46] This one is one I'm going to oppose
[5:49] and I'm talking about the, um,
[5:51] building convenience store/nightclub.
[5:56] The biggest part of this is the,
[5:58] the nightclub.
[6:01] Big problems for the neighborhood.
[6:04] Noise, garbage, more traffic.
[6:09] [tapping]
[6:10] I take my life in my own hands every
time I try to back up my
[6:14] trucks or exit my driveway
[6:18] on 240 or, uh, 448th
[6:20] or Roosevelt.
[6:23] The traffic is more and more
[6:24] all the time.
[6:27] The last few years, we've had two new
developments pushed into
[6:30] our neighborhood.
[6:32] built around my, my house
[6:34] and in our area.
[6:37] Now we have another one.
[6:39] 85 homes.
[6:42] That's 85 more cars
[6:44] going up and down the road.
[6:47] More traffic, more speeding,
[6:49] more problems.
[6:53] I and many others do not want our
road, 448th,
[6:56] or Roosevelt, to be like the Auburn
Enumclaw Highway
[7:01] or 410.
[7:04] More homes, more stores,
[7:06] nightclubs, people.
[7:09] This all means more police, fire,
[7:12] EMS.
[7:15] We struggle with speeders all the
time on our road.
[7:19] and it's getting worse.
[7:20] I say no to the convenience store and
I say no to the gas station
[7:25] and definitely no to a nightclub in
our area.
[7:30] Thank you.
[7:31] Yes, sir.
[7:33] Thanks for public comment,
[7:34] sir.
[7:44] [keyboarding]
Thank you, Mayor. City Council,
[7:46] Jan Molinaro, I live in City Limits.
[7:49] Buckle up.
[7:50] I have always had tremendous respect
for everyone in this room
[7:52] as well as staff and members not in
attendance. These comments
[7:57] will not be personal.
[7:59] Landmark Nightclub.
[8:01] The dictionary defines nightclub as a
place of entertainment,
[8:03] open at night, usually serving food
and liquor and providing music
[8:06] and space for dancing
[8:08] and offing having a floor show.
[8:11] EMC 1820010, the neighborhood
business district, which this is in,
[8:14] is intended to create, preserve and
enhance areas of retail establishment
[8:19] serving frequently recurring needs
and convenient close locations
[8:23] to neighborhoods.
[8:25] The intent of this district is to
have a small shopping area,
[8:29] which will be compatible with the
character of the neighborhood.
[8:32] EMC Chapter 820 Noise Control. Public
nuisance and disturbance
[8:35] noise is under 820060.
[8:39] It is unlawful for any person to
cause or for any person
[8:41] in possession of property to allow
[8:44] to originate from said property sound
that is a public nuisance.
[8:48] The following sources of sound are
defined to be public nuisance.
[8:52] Section F, the creation of use of a
musical instrument, whistle,
[8:54] sound amplifier, stereo, juke box,
[8:58] Radio, television or other device
capable of reproducing loud
[9:00] and raucous noises which emanate
[9:03] frequently, repetitively or
continuously from any building
[9:06] structure or property such as sound
originating from a band
[9:10] session, tavern operation or social
gathering.
[9:15] City of Enumclaw adopted Washington
State's environmental
[9:18] noise Wack 17360040.
[9:22] maximum permissible environmental
noise levels which the following
[9:24] is stated.
[9:26] No person shall cause or permit noise
to intrude into the property
[9:29] of another person which exceeds
[9:32] the maximum permissible level set
forth in below.
[9:36] Receiving property means real
property within which the maximum
[9:39] permissible noise level specified
herein shall not be exceeded
[9:42] from sources outside such property.
[9:46] My understanding is that this
nightclub property falls in the
[9:48] Class B EDNA environmental
designation for noise abatement
[9:51] category.
[9:53] per Wack 17360040.
[9:56] the noise limit limitations to
receiving property
[10:00] in class B our 50 DBA meaning a
weighted decimal from 10 p.m. to 7
a.m.
[10:06] 60 DBA during the hours. The decimal
level of a live band typically ranges
[10:12] from 90 to 100. 30 seconds.
[10:14] Depending on the music genre venue,
etc.
[10:16] Based on this, will the nightclub
owner be required to erect sound
barriers
[10:20] similar to what is proposed for
pickleball courts in Ranier Trails?
[10:25] Penalties, section B, other noise
offenses. All other noise offenses
[10:30] defined in this chapter shall
constitute misdemeanors and be
punishable set forth
[10:36] Separate offenses. Each day for which
a violation continues or is repeated
[10:41] shall constitute a separate offense.
[10:43] Has the nightclub owner been made
aware of these? I ask counsel for
additional time.
[10:49] Counsel, you can just give me a
thumbs up or a head nod if you want
to give more time.
[10:52] Yeah. Yep.
[10:53] Go ahead, sir.
[10:54] Thank you very much.
[10:56] In the PDF file correct revision 2
building 2026 018
[11:02] the nightclub owner provided an
answer to a question
[11:04] and how they will comply with the
noise control 8.20.
[11:08] Any seating, outside seating or
activity, shall be terminated at 10
p.m. every night.
[11:14] In EMC 1820-090, neighborhood
business district, section A,
[11:19] all uses shall be conducted wholly
within a completely enclosed building
[11:25] except for service stations,
off-street parking loading
facilities.
[11:27] Why is it referenced here that any
outside seating or activity shall be
[11:32] terminated at 10 when this code code
clearly states all uses shall be
conducted
[11:36] wholly within enclosed building.
[11:38] Outdoor seating is not in the
building.
[11:40] I respectfully ask counsel to assure
that outdoor seating and or patio is
not
[11:44] allowed. This was discussed with city
staff.
[11:47] The architectural plan submitted and
resubmitted, I did not see any inside
[11:52] construction plans that include
equipment layout, no bar, no walk-in,
[11:56] no coolers, no refrigeration, no
kitchen improvements, no tables and
chairs for customers,
[12:00] and other items of that that would
show in a normal equipment layout for
a nightclub build out.
[12:06] Why is that? How can a potential
permit be issued for a remodel on a
building
[12:10] if they do not show the intent of
what the permit is asking or stating?
[12:14] Will more detailed plans be required
from the nightclub owner?
[12:18] Is this a bait and switch design in
which the nightclub owner will um
[12:22] submit a nightclub permit, will be
operating an event venue like
weddings,
[12:28] birthdays, which is not allowed in
the NBD district.
[12:32] Is the nightclub owner not wanting to
trigger more expensive improvements
[12:36] and code requirements if showing work
inside?
[12:39] Other concerns under the General NB
[12:42] All sites have a common boundary with
the with the residential classified
property
[12:47] shall have erected and maintained
walls, hedges, within the the
property.
[12:52] Nothing is shown on the permit or on
the permit or on the drawings that
were submitted. This was
[12:58] discussed again in a meeting with
city staff. We hope that both the
fence and sound
[13:03] barrier landscaping are placed here.
Also center lane on 244th.
[13:06] will one be required for the gas
station?
[13:09] Stonebrook, Alderbrook housing
developments required these.
[13:13] I'm guessing the gas station will
have more left turns than these two
neighborhoods
[13:17] combined. Last if I may,
[13:19] why is there on the land use action
2026018 listed on the land use action
sign
[13:26] posted on the property, but there are
two separate permits 016018
[13:32] and the documents for the nightclub
and another for the gas station.
[13:35] Also the sign states, and I quote,
that's posted,
[13:38] Application to remodel the existing
building previously known as Moose
Lodge.
[13:43] Remodel, what is it going to remodel
into? A daycare, a dry cleaner, a
nightclub?
[13:48] I respectfully ask that this posted
sign be reposted
[13:52] with the correct permit information
on both the nightclub and all the
different
[13:57] permits for this build out.
[13:58] Council, you have a very tough
decision ahead.
[14:01] Yes, this neighborhood business is
zoned for the nightclub. However,
[14:05] moving forward with this project will
violate several city ordinances.
[14:09] It's not if, but when these will be
violated.
[14:12] Do I need to mention ski in, Cedars,
Four Seasons?
[14:15] If not, I'm sure we can find these
incident reports in police past
[14:21] police reports. Thank you very much
for your time.
[14:33] My name is Jay Moore and I live
within the city limits.
[14:37] I'm here to express my concerns about
the nightclub that is planned under
[14:40] LUA 2026/16, also known as the
Landmark Station project.
[14:46] My primary concern is the noise that
will be associated with live and or
recorded music,
[14:52] as well as late night, vociferous
patrons in the parking lot
[14:55] and the surrounding areas who've been
over served.
[14:57] If outdoor seating is offered, this
annoyance will
[15:00] be more pronounced.
[15:02] Within a radius of 200 yards, there
are approximately 24
[15:05] single family residences.
[15:07] Within 300 yards, there are or will
soon be 85 single
[15:10] family residences.
[15:13] To give some perspective,
[15:15] it's approximately 150 yards from the
stage at White River
[15:18] Amphitheater to the top of the grass
seating area.
[15:21] And remember, we go there because we
want to hear loud music.
[15:25] Some of these homes have had recent
experience with late
[15:27] night noise.
[15:29] The VFW hall located 300 yards to the
north of the proposed venue
[15:33] has had a history of noise complaints
from live music,
[15:36] and they were forced to scale back
the scope of their events.
[15:40] The landmark station project property
owner needs to
[15:42] understand the current city and state
noise restrictions
[15:45] and include the proper mitigation in
their remodel.
[15:49] such as installation of sound
barriers at the side perimeter
[15:52] or retrofitting the building with
sound deadening material.
[15:55] If noise mitigation steps are not
taken, there will be noise
[15:58] complaints.
[16:00] Additional concerns include the
restaurant resulting
[16:03] increase in police and aid car
customers.
[16:06] The city should plan accordingly.
[16:09] I'm surprised that a no adverse
impact disposition was
[16:11] determined as a result of the
separate review.
[16:16] Enumclaw is a wonderful downtown
business area and this type
[16:19] of establishment should be limited to
its core downtown
[16:21] and Highway 410 business strip and
away from residential areas.
[16:26] Please don't let the city's
residential West side become
[16:29] the city's wild West side.
[16:31] Thank you.
[16:32] [applause]
[16:35] Thank you, sir.
[16:36] Yes, sir.
[16:40] Good evening. My name is Jack Baker.
[16:42] I live at 24503 Southeast 448 Street.
[16:46] directly across the street from the
old Moose Lodge.
[16:50] I'm also going to make comments
concerning the landmark
[16:52] station property.
[16:54] and how the owners are not going to
be meeting the neighborhood
[16:57] business zoning, the intent.
[17:01] The zoning should be to meet the
needs of the nearby residents.
[17:04] This proposal is really only viable
because of the large
[17:07] number of communities using 204th
Avenue as they come over
[17:10] the bridge from Pierce County heading
north to Renton,
[17:12] Issaquah, Bellevue and other cities
north.
[17:15] In doing so, they bypass Enumclaw's
commercial area.
[17:19] This project is not being built for
nearby neighbors.
[17:22] Intent should be to limit the scale
and type of uses to small
[17:25] service-oriented retail.
[17:27] For example, the 7-Eleven on 164th,
the mobile station
[17:30] on 169th as you leave town,
[17:32] they provide two to three pumps and a
small retail convenience store.
[17:36] I propose they meet the intent of
neighborhood business zone.
[17:39] Limited in scale and meeting the
needs of nearby residents.
[17:42] Contrast that to the proposed
landmark station.
[17:44] with 12 fuel pumps and approximate
11,000 square foot
[17:47] convenience store.
[17:50] 11,000 square feet per their plan.
[17:54] I would propose that this is not a
small service-oriented retail
[17:57] establishment, but would be better
described as a travel
[18:00] center, such as you would find off of
a major highway.
[18:04] Intent of the zoning should be to
maintain a small retail
[18:07] area that is harmonious with the
neighborhood's set character.
[18:11] The proposed remodel of the Moose
Lodge into a night club will not
[18:14] be harmonious to the neighborhood
character.
[18:17] Please do not think that the Moose
Lodge and night club is synonymous.
[18:22] Having lived 10 years across the
street from the Moose Lodge,
[18:24] I can tell you they were good
neighbors.
[18:26] They had quiet, timely, small
gatherings that were
[18:29] copacetic to the neighborhood.
[18:31] A night club will not be so.
[18:34] I have some additional comments. I'm
going to forgo those.
[18:36] I brought my granddaughters with me
today.
[18:39] Laney Baker and Kobe Baker. They are
fourth generation
[18:41] Enumclaw residents.
[18:43] Uh,
[18:45] They come to our home. We are their
grandparents.
[18:47] They come to our home Fridays and
Saturdays, just spend
[18:49] the evenings with us.
[18:51] They help us cook dinner, they work
with my wife
[18:53] in her garden, they help feed my
cows, they play with my cat.
[18:57] Oftentimes we set up a large
volleyball net in our front yard.
[19:01] They bring their friends.
[19:02] And the girls play volleyball in the
evening as grandpa makes
[19:04] smash burgers in our front yard.
[19:08] They will be 20 feet from the night
club when they do this.
[19:12] How can I ask families to bring their
allow their daughters to
[19:14] come and participate at my home?
[19:19] 20 feet from a night club.
[19:21] I hope that you will consider the
business license for this night
[19:23] club and squash it immediately.
[19:25] Thank you very much.
[19:27] Thank you, sir.
[19:29] public comment?
[19:30] Yes, in the back.
[19:33] Yep.
[19:40] I'm Cindy Baker.
[19:42] I live across the street from the
Moose Lodge.
[19:44] 10 years ago, when my husband and I
were trying to find a home
[19:47] in Enumclaw so we could live closer
to our grand kids,
[19:49] we found the home on 448th, we
thought it would be our
[19:52] grandma and grandpa home that we
would have with the children.
[19:56] We did our due diligence. We came
down to the city. We asked what was
[20:00] owned around it. We looked at the
maps.
[20:02] We asked what is a neighborhood
business, what could be built on
this.
[20:08] We were told maybe an auto shop,
something like that, legal offices.
[20:13] Not a nightclub.
[20:19] When I was looking around, I found
the mission statement or purpose of
the Moose Lodge. It follows:
[20:26] To provide a family environment for
the education of children in need of
Moose Heart
[20:30] and the needs of senior members at
Moose Haven.
[20:33] To provide an atmosphere that will
enhance unity and growth
[20:35] through social and recreational
activities for the membership.
[20:39] Unite its members in the bonds of
fraternal benevolence and charity
[20:43] through year-round social and
recreational activities for the
members and their families.
[20:48] Now, please contrast this with the
purpose or mission statement of a
nightclub.
[20:54] To provide an adult-oriented
environment for the consumption
[20:57] of high markup alcohol beverages by
any paying patron
[21:01] and the maximization of profit for
owners.
[21:04] To provide an atmosphere which will
enhance sensory stimulation and
social competition
[21:10] through loud music, dancing, alcohol,
and nightlife.
[21:15] Allow for the distribution of illicit
substances where the sole and use
[21:19] necessitates frequent police and fire
dispatches
[21:22] to manage medical emergencies,
overdoses, and criminal activity.
[21:28] Allow for a constant flow of people
with a degree of anonymity to become
a hub
[21:33] for criminal networks, human
trafficking, and sexual violations.
[21:38] Is a nightclub really the venue that
will increase the quality of life
[21:40] for surrounding residences?
[21:43] I respect each one of you for running
for this, for council
[21:47] and know that you do want to make a
change.
[21:51] I looked over the voters pamphlets
and found some of the statements that
you made
[21:54] when you were running for office.
[21:57] You wanted to advocate for the safety
and support of our community.
[22:01] I desire to be part of the local
decision- making process to ensure
[22:05] our community will grow and prosper
while still maintaining the charm
[22:08] and character Enumclaw's known for.
[22:11] I'm passionate about public safety
and responsible growth.
[22:15] If elected, I'll work diligently to
preserve Enumclaw's unique charm.
[22:20] Would like to preserve Enumclaw's
rural sensibilities.
[22:24] I'll bring a strong focus on public
safety and on retaining the vibrancy
of Enumclaw,
[22:28] both essential to keeping Enumclaw
the city we love.
[22:32] And this statement is from the city
of Enumclaw's website.
[22:36] The quality of life is the main
reason given by local business owners
and the
[22:39] community alike for maintaining their
residence in Enumclaw.
[22:44] Three minutes.
[22:45] You like more time, you can ask the
council for more time.
[22:48] May I please have more time? I don't
have much more.
[22:50] Yep.
[22:52] I would ask that you immediately
impose a moratorium on allowing any
night clubs
[22:57] in neighborhoods and direct the city
to change its code.
[23:03] These types of establishment belong
in business districts, not
neighborhoods.
[23:08] I don't want to move.
[23:10] I thought we'd found our retirement
home.
[23:13] My husband built his shop.
[23:16] He is retired, and now I have to
move.
[23:21] Please, I beg, don't impose this
duress on any other city residents
[23:25] and retain the charm and family
character of Enumclaw.
[23:30] I am also a school teacher at
Enumclaw Middle School.
[23:34] There are five schools within one
mile and one pub
[23:38] private school within one mile of
this night club.
[23:46] Um, just one more thing.
[23:48] Oh, what about the observ overserved
patrons leaving the property
[23:51] and wandering into our yard or house?
[23:56] No, it's not a product of my
overactive imagination.
[24:01] I wish council member Le Fleur was
here tonight. This actually happened
to his sister.
[24:06] When an overserved patron made their
way into their home,
[24:10] which is closer to the downtown
district,
[24:12] and woke up their young son who fell
asleep on the couch.
[24:17] It was terrifying.
[24:20] And I will not be able to have my
grandchildren or any of their friends
in my home.
[24:25] Thank you.
[24:27] Thank you.
[24:29] Else for public comment?
[24:33] Go one more time because I know some
people on the hallway.
[24:35] Anybody else for public comment?
[24:41] There's no public hearing. There's no
table business.
[24:43] Council Committee reports.
[24:45] Councilmember Leflore is not here, so
council member right now.
[24:48] C D.
[24:49] C D met this evening.
[24:51] Um, we talked about
[24:56] the
[24:58] [papers shuffling]
[25:03] The MFTE, um, we had an MFTE
discussion. Um, Chris
[25:10] was kind enough to explain where to
Corey and I where they originated and
their purpose.
[25:15] Um, the next meeting will be in two
weeks.
[25:18] Yeah, we'll be in two weeks at the
Steven Yorkshire building at 4:30

[25:24] Thank you, Councilman Marno.
Community Services, Councilman Kuben
Fraser.
[25:26] Community Services has not met since
our last meeting. Um, the next one
will be August 17th at 5 o'clock.
[25:34] Thank you, Council Mayor, staying
with you for finance.
[25:36] Thank you.
[25:37] Um, finance met this evening.
[25:39] Um, we did not talk about that much.
[25:42] Um, mainly, um, there is a lodging
tax, the LTA Committee.
[25:48] Um, and so we need a representative
for that.
[25:52] And so we were wondering if there
were wondering if there were any
council members maybe interested,
otherwise, one of us will do that.
[26:00] Um, and that was about it.
[26:01] Our next, oh, actually, there was a
donation request too that was put on
at the last minute.
[26:06] It was from Plateau Outreach
Ministries and so we approved that
[26:10] for a pool rental and the amount
remaining is $568.
[26:15] Our next meeting will be August 24th
at 6:30.
[26:20] Thank you, Council member. Public
safety, back to Councilman Marno.
[26:24] Um, public safety did not meet this
month. Our next meeting
[26:27] will actually be September 21st at
6:00 p.m. at the police station.
[26:34] Thank you, Council member.
[26:34] [paper rustling]
[26:35] Public Works.
[26:36] Uh, Councilman Norton Salomonson.
Which one?
[26:40] Um, I, I have.
[26:41] Thank you, Mayor.
[26:43] Um, we discussed the Roosevelt ADA
Ramp project
[26:48] that is happening.
[26:51] Um, we also discussed the purchase of
a new solid waste truck
[26:55] that needs to happen pretty quickly.
[27:00] Um, also, we went over
[27:03] the, um, uh, Coal Street Clock
project.
[27:11] Um, and that the, uh, bid of work
was, um, granted to, um,
[27:15] Macho River Construction.
[27:21] Um,
[27:23] And our next meeting will be, uh, two
weeks at, um,
[27:27] the Stevenson Conference room.
[27:33] Thank you, Council member. Chamber of
Commerce, back to Council Marno.
[27:36] Chamber of Commerce has not met since
our last meeting. They are actually
meeting Wednesday, which
[27:40] is in two days, at the school
district office at 8:00 a.m.
[27:44] Thank you, member. Sound State
Association, Councilman Norton.
[27:48] I have yet to attend a meeting. The
first one will be the next one on
Wednesday night
[27:51] in, uh, the Rinson City Hall at 7:00
p.m.
[27:57] Thank you, sir.
[27:58] Next up is consent agenda, Council.
Do I have a motion?
[28:03] So moved.
[28:06] Thank you.
[28:07] A motion by Councilman Cooper Fraser,
seconded by Councilman Marnell.
[28:10] Call for discussion.
[28:13] Call for the vote. All those in favor
say aye.
[28:14] Aye.
[28:15] All those oppose say no.
[28:16] Motion passes. Thank you, Council.
[28:19] Under general business, we have
ordinances.
[28:22] So let's go to Ordinance number 2842
Co-living Housing.
[28:29] If there's no objection, City Clerk
will read Ordinance 2842 Co-living
Housing by title only for the second
reading.
[28:34] Hearing none, will the City Clerk
please read Ordinance number 2842 by
title only?
[28:37] Ordinance number 2842, an ordinance
of the City of Enumclaw, King County,
Washington, relating
[28:42] to the implementation of co-living
housing allowances as required by
state law.
[28:47] Amending Enumclaw Municipal Code
section 15.04.020 relating to
[28:53] administration of development
regulations definitions, amending AMC
subsection 18.04.020A
[28:58] relating to the city's residential
land use matrix, establishing a
[29:03] new Enumclaw Municipal Code section
[29:05] 19.32.180 to be titled co-living
housing, providing for separability
[29:12] and establishing an effective date.
[29:15] Thank you, Jessica.
[29:16] Will Chris Bes, our Community
Director, give a staff report?
[29:19] Thank you, Mayor. Members of City
Council.
[29:21] Ordinance 2842 would adopt a
permanent co-living housing
[29:26] allowances within the Municipal Code.
[29:31] Um, I'll try to keep it brief since
um, nothing has changed
[29:35] since the public hearing, which was
at our last council meeting.
[29:39] Um, the City Council adopted the
regulations back in December and
[29:42] through an interim ordinance and
reaffirmed that in February.
[29:46] Uh, this ordinance this evening would
adopt the regulations permanently.
[29:50] The only difference between uh the
regulations proposed and the ones
that were adopted back in December
[29:57] is we included a couple couple
additional definitions for
[30:00] for a kitchen, one for a kitchenette.
[30:02] And um, as part of this
[30:05] ordinance and part of the planning
[30:07] commission's recommendation was to
[30:09] include a requirement that each
co-living unit
[30:12] includes a kitchenette and a
bathroom.
[30:15] With that, staff is recommending to
[30:17] to pass ordinance 2842.
[30:20] Like Chris, Council, give your
[30:21] report, either Council member
Martinell or Council member Fraser.
[30:25] We did actually talk about this
today.
[30:27] I forgot that, but um we did talk
about
[30:29] this as well. We do begrudgingly
[30:32] say yes to this. We are at the cap of
what
[30:34] the state allows us to to
[30:37] require, so we will say yes to it.
[30:41] All right.
[30:43] Any council comments before moving on
to council action?
[30:48] See none. Council action.
[30:51] Motion to approve ordinance number
2842 co-living housing.
[30:55] Second.
[30:56] I have a motion by Council member
Cooper and Fraser, seconded by
[30:58] Council member Martinell.
[31:00] Call for discussion.
[31:03] Call for the vote. All those in favor
say aye.
[31:05] Aye. Aye.
[31:06] All those opposed say no.
[31:08] No.
[31:09] Motion passes.
[31:10] Council.
[31:14] There are general items. There is
finance report,
[31:16] July sales tax report,
[31:18] community development, building
permit, city
[31:20] planning on page 51 of your council
packet.
[31:22] Unfinished business, Council 2027
[31:24] budget initiatives, Council last
meeting we asked that
[31:27] you come back and any kind of of uh
[31:29] budget initiatives you may have as
well as
[31:32] express potential rough estimate or
dollar
[31:34] figures so that we can include it in
[31:36] our budget or anything related to
[31:39] uh outside agencies or third-party
contracts.
[31:43] So I'll just go ahead. Council member
right now.
[31:48] Yeah. So we are actually coming up
[31:51] with someone who can help us
potentially
[31:53] come up with a branding solution for
the city.
[31:56] Start with a branding solution.
That's what you're asking, right?
[31:59] Yeah.
[32:00] A branding solution for the city. Um,
and
[32:03] we will come back with an ask of
about
[32:05] $25,000 to begin that, um,
[32:08] under the current budget discussion.
Um,
[32:10] it would be a pronged approach that
we're looking
[32:12] at, um, that would start with a
[32:14] a branding proposition and then move
[32:17] into um a a tourism marketing
[32:20] plan as well as brand guard rails
[32:23] um for the city and and its
[32:27] it's overall look of the city.
[32:29] Okay.
[32:32] I'll just go around this way so
Council member Sorton.
[32:35] Um,
[32:37] the uh the one I did bring up last
[32:39] week had to do with sidewalk gaps on
[32:41] 244th. Uh there has been some
[32:44] discussion at the public works level.
[32:47] Um, there are going to be some budget
[32:49] concerns and uh safety concerns
[32:52] especially uh concerning the new
[32:54] developments on the corner Roosevelt
and
[32:58] 244th. Uh that will still need
[33:01] to be discussed, but that's find
[33:04] points to come up later.
[33:06] Okay.
[33:08] Council member Smith.
[33:09] Nothing pressing on my BL if there's
[33:11] anything in the budget, it would
probably just be
[33:13] trivial street improvement plans, and
that's
[33:15] about all I've got.
[33:17] Okay.
[33:20] Council member Stanley.
[33:22] Um, we'd spoken a little bit about
community
[33:23] engagement, but I think after some
further
[33:25] conversation, it seems like something
we can
[33:27] probably handle in-house, so not
[33:30] requesting a budget for that, at
least not at this time.
[33:32] Okay.
[33:35] Council member Tolsen wire up.
[33:36] No, not at this time.
[33:38] Okay. Council member Fraser.
[33:40] No, nothing more than
[33:42] just looking into what everyone else
is interested.
[33:46] Okay.
[33:55] Anything else up your head or we
still have plenty of time but just
[33:57] we're working on the budget this
month, so that
[34:00] that's some comes up in the next
couple weeks, like just let us know.
[34:05] Uh there is no new business. Uh we
[34:07] do have executive session and the
council
[34:08] will go into executive executive
session for
[34:11] the climate commitment Act auction
bidding
[34:13] per RCW 42.30.1101Q
[34:18] and litigation per RCW 42.30.111i
[34:23] with an estimation of 10 minutes.
[34:25] We are out at 7:34 and we'll be back
at 7:44.
[34:42] All right, back at 7:45.
[34:47] Uh see, uh there is a adjourn to
Council.
[34:50] after a adjourn, there's a special
meeting to begin immediately
[34:53] after the regular scheduled Council
meeting, so
[34:57] So moved.
[34:58] Second.
[34:59] I have a motion by Council member
Cooper
[35:00] [gavel] second my council member
Smith.
[35:02] All those in favor say I.
[35:04] Aye.
[35:05] All those opposed say no.
[35:06] regular meeting is adjourned at
[35:08] 7:45.
