A part of the Land Use Committee Agenda Item two Council Bill one 2266 relating to land use and zoning amending sections 23.47 8.0 12 and 23.47 8.0 13 of the Seattle Municipal Code to allow for transfer of development potential or transfer of development rights in the NC three 223 P 200 zones. The committee recommends the bill pass. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Councilmember Strauss, you're the chair of this committee. Thank you. Council president is linda mentioned? Council Bill 120266 relates to land use and zoning in the NC three 293 P 200 Zone's transfer of development rights to R or transfer of development potential TDP are programs that allow properties in R eligible areas to sell their unused development rights to another site, allowing that site to build a larger floor area than would otherwise be permitted. TR is often used by landmark buildings to finance, maintenance and other costs because as a landmark they can't necessarily grow their building and they need more dollar additional dollars to keep their historic building in place. TR is only applied in certain areas, in certain zones, primarily in urban centers like University District and downtown. TDR is allowed in First Hill, but not currently allowed in the neighborhood commercial three and 203 to 200 zones. This legislation would allow for TDR to occur in NC three 293 P 200 zones during committee. Central staff member Lish and showed a map that described these words better than any words can describe because what you see are most zones allowing for this and then a very narrow sliver not allowing. And so this legislation would allow for TDR in that little sliver on First Hill. The legislation does include restriction restrictions, including that the site receiving the TDR must be on the same block as the site selling the TDR. The development receiving the TDR has a height limit of 350 feet and the total floor area deemed through TDR to not be more than 110,526 square feet. There is only one landmark site in the NC three 200 zone that currently would be eligible to sell TDR legislation under this legislation. And that's the Sorento hotel. And there are other landmarked eligible sites in this zone that could become eligible to sell TDR if they are landmarked in the future. Council President colleagues. That is the committee report. Thank you. Councilmember Strauss, are there any comments or concerns or questions that we want to ask? Councilmember Strauss. Okay. Not seen any more.
