Bill passed and the chair will sign it. Please read the next agenda item. Agenda item six Resolution 316 882 Identify and propose comprehensive plan amendments to be considered for possible adoption 2017 and requesting that the Office of Planning and Community Development and the Seattle Planning Commission Review and make recommendations about the proposed amendments. The Committee recommends the resolution be adopted as amended. Councilmember Johnson. Thank you. Council President So each year, community members and departments come to the city and ask us to study amendments to a comprehensive plan process. That's commonly called the darkening process. When the Council takes action and asks the Department to study these items to be included in that potential discussion for the next comprehensive plan, we pass a resolution. This year. We receive 14 applications for the darkening process. We move four of those applications for for further study. And in addition, during the. Discussion. We discussed two changes in addition to those. For one of those changes was an amendment offered by Councilmember O'Brien to have the Planning Commission and staff of the Office of Planning Community Development consider health impacts of residential land uses adjacent to transit, freight corridors, highways, industrial lands, etc.. And then secondly, I offered an amendment which will give a little more specific direction to the Industrial Lands Task Force being convened by the mayor, asking them to evaluate a couple of parcels that we chose not to docket to consider new types of industrial uses. So again, the outcome of today's resolution, should it be adopted, is that the planning staff will then spend the next year studying these items and come back to us with the recommendation about whether or not to include them in next year's comprehensive plan process. Thank you. Councilman Johnson, any further comments? Those in favor of adopting the resolution vote. I. All right. Those oppose vote no. The motion carries the resolution is adopted and the chair will sign it. Next report, please.
