Mr. Codes Committee recommends the bill pass. Councilmember Burgess. Thank you. This is. Imposing controls on the Theodora, which is an apartment building in northeast Seattle. It was designated as a historic landmark in October of 2014. The ordinance, if adopted, imposes controls upon this building as specified by the Landmarks Preservation Board. This means that any changes to the site, the building exterior and portions of the interior require review and approval of the Landmarks Board. The ordinance details the approval process moving forward for both the Landmarks Board and the owner of the building. And the committee recommends this ordinance be adopted. Any further comments? Councilmember Johnson. Just want to say this building is in my neck of the woods, just up the street, just beyond 65th and 35th northeast. And one of the things that I'm I got a chance to understand better in committee is that when we take these kinds of actions, it becomes part of the inspection process. So when inspectors come out to the property to take a look at the development, these protections are outlined in their form. So when they go through their checklist, these are things that they're looking for as well. So we're doing a good job today of making sure that as we convert historic buildings to new uses, that we're doing a good job of preserving them and that the inspection process holds up that standard as well. Thank you, Councilman Johnson. Any further comments? Please call the rule on the passage of the Bill Bagshaw. Burgess, Gonzalez, I Herbold II Johnson, Maurice O'Brien, President Harrell. I.
