UPCOMING MEETINGS Tuesday, December 14, 2021 – Special Meeting at 4:00 PM 5 AGENDA ITEM 3.1 MEDINA, WASHINGTON AGENDA BILL Tuesday, December 14, 2021 Subject: Permanent Supportive and Transitional Housing Category: Public Hearing Staff Contact(s): Stephanie Keyser, Planning Manager Summary Earlier this year, E2SHB 1220 went into effect, which eliminated certain zoning barriers related to the provision of emergency housing and requires cities to plan for affordable housing in the next Comprehensive Plan update. Cities may not prohibit transitional housing or permanent supportive housing in any zoning district that allows residential dwellings or hotels. While Medina does not allow hotels, residential dwellings are permitted by right in every zoning district. The City cannot prevent a transitional or permanent supportive housing unit from coming into Medina, however we can require things like spacing between facilities and a good neighbor agreement. Please note that in the attached draft, permeable interlocking concrete pavers and permeable pavement are underlined in red to move them into alphabetical order; no changes to those definitions are proposed.

Cities may not prohibit transitional housing or permanent supportive housing in any zoning district that allows residential dwellings or hotels. While Medina does not allow hotels, residential dwellings are permitted by right in every zoning district. The City cannot prevent a transitional or permanent supportive housing unit from coming into Medina, however we can require things like spacing between facilities and a good neighbor agreement. At the last meeting, it was asked if Medina’s code could limit the type of resident that these facilities housed. Staff reached out to our regional support person at the Department of Commerce, Kirsten Larsen, who explained that the bill itself is meant to be a low barrier for these emergency and temporary housing facilities and limiting the type of resident would be in conflict. On her recommendation, staff has not included any language to try and preempt the persons who would utilize these facilities. It was requested that staff bring examples of what a Good Neighbor agreement looks like; you will find two examples before the draft code. Please note that the definitions in the draft code for permeable interlocking concrete pavers and permeable pavement are underlined in red to move them into alphabetical order; no changes to those definitions are proposed. 7 AGENDA ITEM 6.1 COMMUNITY GOOD NEIGHBOR AGREEMENT CHRISTOPHER LANG, SUSAN McGRATH, AND TIMOTY McGRATH (AS MEBERS), AND C.A.T. VENTURES, LLC, D/B/A/ TOST THIS COMMUNITY GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into between C.A.T. Ventures, LLC, D/B/A/ TOST (hereinafter TOST), located at 513 N 36 St., Space #E, in Seattle and the City of Seattle, a municipal corporation (“The City”), for the purpose of fostering improved public safety and to augment efforts by the City and the community to reduce crime, nuisance activity, and disruptive activity in and around TOST. BACKGROUND FOR AGREEMENT 1. TOST seeks to assume the existing business and liquor license at the above-listed location. The establishment currently holds a Spirits, Beer, Wine, Restaurant/Lounge liquor license issued by the Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB). 2. Local business owners and community residents have complained to the City of Seattle and the Seattle Police Department (“SPD”) regarding noise, crowd disturbances, alcohol and drug problems, vandalism, littering, fighting, and other disturbances in the immediate vicinity of TOST. 3. Police resources for the Fremont area are very limited. Calls for police service responding to liquor establishments in Fremont account for a substantial percentage of the police response for the Fremont area. 4. Pursuant to RCW 66.24.420 (5), the City of Seattle and the Fremont neighborhood Council have each informed the WSLCB that the Fremont neighborhood is already adequately served with existing Spirits/Beer/Wine Restaurant-Lounge liquor licenses and that additional lounge Spirit-lounge licenses should not be issued unless the negative community impacts can mitigated though implementation of the terms and conditions of a “Good Neighbor Agreement”. 5. The City of Seattle and has the ability, authority and opportunity to file an objection to the assumption of the liquor license for the current location of TOST, to the licensee, or both. 6. TOST is aware of community concerns regarding alcohol service at the premises and the community’s concerns regarding the prospective licensee’s ability to adequately resolve those issues. 7. If granted a continuing liquor license, TOST agrees to be a good neighbor by operating TOST in a manner that will help improve public safety, security and quiet enjoyment in the surrounding community. To further this goal, TOST agrees to use good faith efforts to follow the business practices and procedures set forth below. 8 AGENDA ITEM 6.1 TERMS OF AGREEMENT 1.

TOST shall notify the City upon such transfer. 12 AGENDA ITEM 6.1 29. TOST acknowledges that this is an enforceable agreement and constitutes a condition of its obtaining and keeping the license, and that if any of the foregoing conditions are alleged to have been violated, upon notice from the City, TOST agrees to immediately cease the sale of alcohol. TOST may resume the sale of alcohol only after having submitted an action plan to the City, designed to ensure the violation does not reoccur. Upon acceptance and agreement that the action plan will adequately address the violation, the City will then provide written notice of such, at which time alcohol service may resume under the terms of this agreement. This agreement may be enforced by injunction, damages, or other equitable relief. 30. This agreement is not intended to disadvantage TOST in relation to other similar establishments in the Fremont neighborhood. If TOST has reason to believe that one or more provision in this agreement is resulting in a continuing economic disadvantage in comparison to other nearby similar establishments, the parties agree to meet and discuss the issues and methods to counter such disadvantage which may include modification of the provisions herein. The parties agree that this agreement may be altered, modified, or amended anytime after written agreement, or annually after meeting and negotiation between the parties. 31. Miscellaneous. i. The term “trespass” as used herein means to remove from the premises and prohibit from returning. ii. Should any provision in this Agreement be declared or determined to be illegal or invalid, the validity of the remaining parts, terms, or provisions shall not be affected thereby, and the illegal or invalid part, term, or provision shall be deemed not to be part of this Agreement, and all remaining provisions shall remain valid and enforceable. iii. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties and fully supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings between the parties pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement. In entering into this Agreement, the parties are not relying on any promises or representations of any sort except those set forth in writing herein. iv. The parties may execute this Agreement in one or more counterparts. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one agreement. A fax or copy shall be considered to have the same effect as an original. v. The laws of the state of Washington shall govern this Agreement. vi. Time is of the essence to this Agreement. 13 AGENDA ITEM 6.1 vii. Each person signing this agreement on behalf of TOST acknowledges that they have the authority and capacity to enter into this agreement for, and on behalf of, TOST. viii. TOST and the City each acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to seek legal counsel regarding the terms of this agreement and enters into this agreement voluntarily. ix. TOST agrees that any action contrary to the terms of this agreement or inaction on the part of TOST to comply with the terms of this agreement will be deemed a material breach of this agreement. 32. Based upon the promises of TOST as set forth in this agreement, the City of Seattle will not object to the assumption of the liquor license to C.A.T.

GNAAC Overview In January 2021, Congregations for the Homeless applied for a conditional use permit to build a 100-bed, permanent men's shelter in Eastgate, along with a 125-person day center, and offices for CFH administration on .736 acres. The parcel is part of a larger 10-acre parcel acquired from King County at 13620 SE Eastgate Way. The intent of this shelter and day center is to provide a safe and welcoming environment 24-hours a day for men experiencing homelessness. Per the city's Land Use Code (LUC), a Good Neighbor Agreement Advisory Committee (GNAAC) was formed to foster communication between the community and CFH, with the goal of forming a good neighbor agreement as its end-product. CFH anticipates that construction will begin in November 2021 with completion estimated in 2022. The GNAAC met five times between May and September 2021. Each meeting addressed a specific purpose: to build community agreements; review the design; and review the operations of the shelter. During meetings #2-4, the members generated questions to be addressed by the Technical Team, and recommendations to be considered for this agreement. The recommendations can be found in Section #4. GNAAC meetings were facilitated by Patricia Hughes of Trillium Leadership Consultin g in Seattle, who also assembled this report. Because the LUC requires the GNAAC to be formed, the following is an overview of each member by category: GNAAC Member Composition List MEMBER NAME and AFFILIATION CONTACT WITH CFH PREVIOUSLY?

Request and Project Description Conditional Use Congregations for the Homeless (CFH) seeks Conditional Use approval to construct a three-story, 100 bed permanent men’s shelter along with a 125-person day center and offices for CFH administration on .736 acres. The intent of this shelter and day center is to provide a safe and welcoming environment 24-hours a day for men experiencing homelessness. Landscaping and parking stalls will be provided. CFH will be located on Lot 2 of a three lot Binding Site Plan and Master Development Plan. CFH anticipates that construction will begin in November 2021 with completion estimated in 2022. View of Building Review Processes and Schedule Homeless Services Uses applications can be processed in one of two ways: as a Development Agreement or as a Process I Conditional Use application per LUC 20.20.455.H, wherein the Land Use Director makes a recommendation to the Hearing Examiner, and following a public hearing, the Hearing Examiner renders a decision on the submitted proposal. CFH chose the latter process by filing its Conditional Use application for review and approval. 20 AGENDA ITEM 6.1 7 | P a g e Project Phasing Development will occur in three phases on the proposed Eastgate Housing Campus as submitted by Polaris @ Eastgate, LLC. The site map below describes each phase. Eastgate Housing Campus Master Development Plan Phase I – Polaris @ Eastgate, LLC: The proposed project will include 360 units of affordable housing available to qualifying households earning 60 percent or less of average median income on 7.3 acres. Phase II – Congregations for the Homeless/CFH Alliance, LLC: The second phase of development will occur on an .736 acre property located at the northeast corner of the campus. Congregations for the Homeless will locate a three-story 20,473 gross square foot permanent men’s shelter with 100 beds along with a day center for men experiencing homelessness. Phase III – Eastgate Housing, LLC (includes Horizon Housing Alliance and Plymouth Housing): The third phase of development will occur on 1.69 acres located at the southeast corner of the campus. Horizon Housing Alliance will construct a fou r-story residential unit with 95 supportive housing units for residents exiting homelessness. Phase II 21 AGENDA ITEM 6.1 8 | P a g e Site Context and Description Aerial of King County Solid Waste Site The King County Solid Waste site is located within the Richards Valley Subarea. It is adjacent to the King County Transfer Station along its north property line, with office development along its west and east property boundaries. The property is bounded to the south by SE Eastgate Way where the primary vehicular site access is located at the southwest corner of the site. There is a secondary site access at the southeast portion of the campus connecting to an unpaved driveway. Historically, this site has been used for overflow parking for auto dealerships. It also was used by King County Health Department for two medical tents in the event that nearby hospitals reached their patient capacities due to COVID-19 hospitalizations. The King County Health Department has not operationalized the site to date, and they have since been removed. King County Solid Waste completed sale of this site on August 11, 2021 to Polaris at Eastgate, LLC, Eastgate Housing, LLC, and CFH Alliance, LLC, which will now allow the City to issue ancillary permits to each owner of Lots 1 and 3. Project Site 22 AGENDA ITEM 6.1 9 | P a g e Section 4. GNAAC Recommendations As required by the LUC topics, the GNAAC formulated its recommendations at the conclusion of each of its meetings. To aid this process, the facilitator queried each GNAAC member to obtain their pertinent comments which were divided into three categories: 1) Recommendations for the Conditional Use application, 2) Recommendations outside the scope of the CUP which could be acted upon by others as noted in Section 5, and 3) Recommendations previously evaluated through the Master Development Plan also noted in Section 5. The GNAAC supports the Conditional Use Permit and the development of the men’s shelter, day center, and administration offices. GNAAC members shared a desire for the CFH project to “be the best in the country and a model for others.” T he following is the compilation of the GNAAC recommendations to the Land Use Director of Development Services for CFH’s Con ditional Use application. The (#) refers to the GNAAC meeting during which the recommendation was made. Context Setting Ways the provider can incorporate context sensitive design into the project, with a focus on unique circumstances that should be considered early in the review process. The GNAAC’s discussion during Meeting #1 was robust regarding the unique elements of the surrounding community, i.e., existing open spaces and the Eastgate Park and Ride which culminated in the recommendations below: Recommendations Communications: 1. CFH to create a FAQ so people in the community know how to get involved and who to contact under various situations. (#3) The FAQ should be posted on the CFH and City of Bellevue websites, and to be provided in paper form, with phone numbers for: * 911 for emergencies * 211 for Human Service Support at King County * BPD non-emergency number * Congregations for Homeless * City's Outreach Navigator * Sophia’s Way Outreach Coordinator * City's Park Dept 2. Establish magnet area boundaries and add Eastgate Park and Ride as a magnet area (#3) 3. Communicate (in tandem with Plymouth Housing) with the neighbors and community effectively, providing resources and accurate information via in-person and on social media (as staffing allows.) (#3) 4. Prioritize the review and refinement regarding performance metrics and ongoing operations with CFH Advisory Committee (after end of GNAAC), posting metrics online annually (#4) 23 AGENDA ITEM 6.1 10 | P a g e Design Recommendations These recommendations augment the facility design by overlaying design review through Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) measures so architectural and landscape design may influence the natural and built environments. Since CPTED review is conducted by Bellevue Police Department (BPD), the GNAAC was introduced to the CPTED concepts of Natural Surveillance, Territorial Behaviors and Natural Access Control during Meeting #2, which led to the following recommendations: Security and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) M easures 1. Specify length of time for data storage of security cameras at 30 days (#2 and #3) 2. Review parking lot for clear visibility through the site (#2) 3. Provide Signage re: No loitering, no derelict vehicles (#2) Operations Recommendations These recommendations augment the provider’s Standard Operating Procedures and Safety & Security Plan to address concerns of neighbors while meeting the needs of CFH’s clients and partners. Meetings #3 and #4 focused on this topic and resulted in the following recommendations: Parking and Transportation 1. Monitor parking lot for non-permitted car camping and to limit abandoned vehicles on-site. (#2) 2. Create consistency with campus-wide Transportation Management Plan (TMP) (#2) Resident Assistance 1. Capture family contact information on intake form/process (f they are willing to provide), and to ask if they would like assistance in reuniting with family (#3) 2. Provide resources about alternate facilities and bus tickets when full. CFH promises that “we won’t put someone on the street in the middle of the night”) Added to Standard Operating Procedure (#4) Safety and Security 1. Notify nearby residents, businesses, and King County Metro in the event of an emergency on site, such as a lockdown or lockout (#3) 2. Encourage men to speak up when they see something that isn’t right in the magnet area – and this will be added to the Code of Conduct (#4) 24 AGENDA ITEM 6.1 11 | P a g e Section 5. Appendix I 1. Recommendations for Action by Others These recommendations were made by GNAAC members and are outside the scope of consideration for this Conditional Use Permit. They have been forwarded to the appropriate bodies for review and potential action. 1.

Continuous sidewalk to Richards Road – Transportation Department – TFP – Project 247 - #2 3. Bike lanes review for safety analyses– Transportation Department – Review and analyses during MDP – Meeting standards - #2 4. Initial contact was made with KC Metro to raise the issue of re-routing bus #240, which runs from Eastgate P&R to downtown Bellevue - #3 5. Define who neighbors are in Code of Conduct and strengthen expectations around engagement with neighbors and surrounding community by residents. - #3 6. Clarify with other service partners included in the agreement about how appointments will be managed: open door, appointment, drop-in, how to manage that. - #3 7. Recommend that mental health professionals be on site 365/24/7, share with Plymouth. (Caveat: these professionals be licensed, not case managers) - #3 8. Create code of conduct for volunteers - #3 9. Recommend CFH connect with private owners of pieces of the greenbelt and be sure they’ve given Trespass authority - #4 10. BPD to patrol the green belt (bike patrol) - #4 11. Transparency to share the metrics and trends from the CFH/BPD check-ins - #4 12. GNAAC recommends that the City of Bellevue fund mental health supports. - #5 25 AGENDA ITEM 6.1 12 | P a g e 2. Recommendations Previously Evaluated through the Master Development Plan These recommendations were made by GNAAC members and were already addressed as part of the Eastgate Housing Campus MDP process which was approved April 1, 2021. 1. Ask city to revisit the traffic estimates and come up with action to minimize impact. Reviewed with traffic study and analyses during MDP, all phases were found to comply with standard requirements. There is a process for traffic re-assessment once the development is up and running. 2. Neighborhood outreach on safety and traffic. Public meetings were previously held to gain input during the MDP process 3. Traffic – At peak times, limit the left turn capability coming out of the facility (not) onto Eastgate create a Center lane. This possibility was reviewed during the MDP analyses, and traffic conditions did not warrant required left turn lane. 4. Opportunity to reassess the area if safety concerns arise in the future as the City reserves the right to control access and restrictions on City streets. Yes 5. Install secure and tall fences on the boundary of SE 32nd. Was not required through MDP, as there is no direct access to SE 32nd Street from the site 6. Request for landscape cover on north side of property. Is already included 26 AGENDA ITEM 6.1 13 | P a g e Section 5.
