The Report of the Planning, Land Use and Sustainability Committee Agenda Item number eight. Council Bill 118311 relating to the Seattle Shoreline Master Program amending the Seattle Comprehensive Plan Provisions in the Shoreline District. Thank you. Committee. Sorry. The Committee recommends approval bill pass as amended. I didn't want you to get started on all those numbers. So, Councilmember O'Brien. Thank you. As chair of the committee, I could ask of Councilmember Clark would like to read in all those numbers to get some some more face time here before we leave. So. Dunbar, I may have a substitution here in a minute, but why don't I go ahead and speak to the bill for a second? I think one of the things that's important to remember the what the reason we do the shoreline management, and it's really to protect our our shoreline habitat. And there's so many competing uses, especially in an urban area like Seattle, for competing for that valuable space on the waterfront and remembering that the end of the day, we're trying to preserve the habitat for all the critters that survive on that and manage our existing use of it in a way that's consistent with that. And as we heard in testimony today, this has been a very long process. But I'm proud to say that we're at a point now where we have a bill that everyone I've talked to can live with and supports. And I think that's a great spot to be in after a lot of hard work. I want to thank all the advocates in the community, whether it's industrial landowners or folks who live on the water working through this process. Also thank DPD staff for a very long process and Department of Ecology has been engaged in this too. Before we move forward, I want to go ahead and move to substitute version. I believe it's version 13 for version 12. And what this version does is it's just clean ups, things like correcting for parallel construction and changing for correct adjectival use. Second, always that word adjectival. The adjective ocean before us is to substitute version 13 for version 12. Any further comments? All in favor of the amendment vote. I oppose vote no. The amendment passes and version 13 is before us. So the final thing I'll say is this has been before the council before and came back with some changes. That's where we are today. Once we vote this out of council, it does have to go back to the Department of Ecology for ultimate ratification, I guess is the word I'll use. We've been working closely with Department of Ecology through this process, and our understanding is that and I'm confident that everything we've done here today is consistent with the state's goals, and I expect that this would be ratified soon. Thank you. Any other comments or questions? Councilmember Clark. Excellent. And in all seriousness, this is a big deal. So the updated the shoreline master plan, it's all I mean, your testimony almost makes it sound like it was easy in some way, which is an incredible feat that you two have been able to do that. And there's so much more to the shoreline master master program than what we've talked about in terms of overwater residences or houseboats or house barges. And I'm missing probably three or four other descriptions for what they are. But Joe, you came up to the microphone. There was a ton of work in terms of industrial uses and what it means to have a working waterfront and be and be consistent with those values that Councilmember O'Brien talked about. We have we have a habitat we care about. We have an economy we care about. We have in a way of people living on the water that's important to us as a community that isn't just cute, but is real. People actually live their lives in that way, and it's important to to the values and who we are as a city. And so being able to bring those things together, I echo the sentiment about Faith Lumsden being awesome. So she's been great and certainly having Brian Surratt do the shuttle diplomacy pretty awesome. So thanks very much to the staff and to the people who were able to see this out, who were able to see it all the way through. Thank you. Please call the roll on the passage of the amended legislation. Harrill Lakota by Orion Rasmussen All right so want back shot. By. Clark I got it and president Burgess high nine in favor and. Unopposed the resolution passes and the chair will sign it. Other resolutions, please read item nine.
