Min 1:14:10 - Councilmember Steve Fields' dialogue with Planning Director Carol Helland: As the Administrator carrying out Council's policy Helland "ruled no Hearing was required."
Min 1:17:04 - Council President Kritzer said a public comment period is included in the "Spring 2024 permit application process."
Presently, there are no kitchenettes in the Overlake Homeless Hotel. It's currently an "emergency" facility.
Councilmember Melissa Stuart says the public's robust conversations with Council years ago put policy in place to allow permanent supportive homeless housing. Director Helland says she is administering this policy, deciding not to require a public Hearing. The video will speak for itself.
You can also find Council's April 16th Business Meeting here. A record 70 citizens (mostly protesters) spoke at the podium. The meeting was intense, but well orchestrated.
