When meeting the green building standard is a condition of permit, the committee recommends the bill pass as amended. Finally, Councilman Johnson. Thank you to our very capable city clerk. Council Bill 173 updates the Living Building Pilot Program and the Green Building Standards for Incentive Zoning, as I mentioned during council briefing this morning. We have two such buildings in the city. One is the Bullet Foundation Building, the bullet center on Madison in Capital Hill, and the other is the Stone 34 building just at the intersection of Stone Way and the Perkiomen Trail. This update to the pilot program, as you heard during public comment, responds to recommendations from a technical advisory group brought together by the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections in response to a council resolution that we took up several years ago. The changes that were intending to pass today maintain the highest and. The program was also continuing to encourage participation. And let me give you a couple of highlights. Takes away some of the uncertainty of the program by allowing the incentives for participating projects by right as opposed to a variance, it allows the projects to participate by fulfilling the Living Building Challenge. Pedal Certification Program modifies the penalty for non achievement of certification and extends the enrollment period till 2025 or until 20 projects have participated. We had a near unanimous public comment on this throughout the several meetings that we discussed. These changes, as you heard from folks from the architecture community and from the Seattle 2030 district, a lot of support for this in the midst of what is really a building boom here in the city of Seattle. Disappointing to see that no current buildings are taking advantage of our Living Building pilot program. So my hope is that with adoption today, we'll start to see more folks adopt into the program in the very near future. Thank you, Katherine Johnson. Any comments or concerns or questions? Thank you very much. Please call the role on the passage of the bill. Johnson Maurice O'Brien beg John Burgess. Gonzalez, President. Harold I. Seven in favor.
