11:53 AM: As noted in today’s event list, the City Council‘s regular weekly meeting is at 2 pm. Today’s agenda includes an expected vote on Councilmember Eddie Lin‘s proposal to limit land-use appeals that he says are delaying housing development. District 1 Councilmember Rob Saka has proposed an amendment that he says would “preserve the public’s ability to appeal certain determinations to the Seattle Hearing Examiner.” Rather than eliminating administrative (Type V) SEPA appeals entirely, Councilmember Saka’s amendment offers a more balanced alternative. –Prioritizes housing: Requires the Hearing Examiner to prioritize appeals involving Comprehensive Plan amendments or development regulations that facilitate housing.
