Temporary housing in this community doesn't represent a long term solution and represents a financial and SIGNIFICANT safety risk. We believe the equity of our homes will be impacted by over 10%, which our community would be happy to demonstrate in court if this initiative continues to move forward. Dorine Rassaian 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- Sarah Pyle From: Sent: To: Subject: Ms. Pyle-- Stefan Sharkansky <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Monday, February 05, 2018 4:54 PM Sarah Pyle Bel-Red Homeless Shelter Proposal My name is Stefan Sharkansky. I am the owner and resident of 1460 173rd Ave NE, Bellevue 98008. My home is approximately 1/2 mile from the site of the proposed Bel-Red Homeless Shelter LAND-2016--1-36. As a near neighbor of the proposed facility I object to its establishment. I wish to be considered a party of record to this proposal. The proposed shelter is a bad fit for our neighborhood. Among my concerns is that although the shelter is primarily described as a shelter for "women and children", it will also allow older male teenagers. Although the rules specify that residents over 18 must be attending school, and that there is a 9pm curfew for all residents. It is far from clear how either of these rules will be effectively enforced. I am concerned that an influx of poorly supervised transient adolescents from troubled families into the neighborhood may be disruptive, with a potential for criminal activity, and for nighttime use of the nearby Tam O'Shanter city park. Furthermore, since shelter residents would not be allowed to stay longer than 90 days, many may find themselves without any housing and simply camp out in the neighborhood including in city parks, or the woods surrounding the City of Redmond Viewpoint Open Space trail. In summary, we are a quiet single family neighborhood and not a suitable location to place a shelter for distressed transients. I strongly object to this proposal.

Assisting homeless people through the transition from homelessness to acquiring and retaining stable, self sufficient, long term housing for themselves is not a casual undertaking. This is precisely what government is for; driving progress against social issues with data driven measures against formally defined and scientifically justified city, regional, and state level policy. Merely providing temporary housing is not a sound plan. Many homeless have suffered physical or abuse and need counseling services. Many are struggling with substance abuse and need medically sound intervention. Some may have settled into a worldview where crime, originally perhaps to be viewed as a necessary evil to survive, has become an acceptable way of life. This proposed shelter is simply not prepared to offer the necessary level of service and therefore is not prepared to materially affect outcomes for these people. It may be that the site managers have "promised" that their policies will address these shortcomings, but without a legally binding commitment, e.g. to conform to a legislatively defined regulatory mechanism, this site cannot guarantee that it will not simply serve to funnel at-risk individuals into our, as of today, purely residential neighborhood. And when the site managers decide to end temporary housing services for a given individual? Unless there is a legally binding requirement that the individual be returned to their place of origin, which itself would hardly be humane, we must expect that they will take up residence in those nearby areas that would be the most sensible to them, adjacent and nearby wooded parks. Our neighborhood parks are nicely wooded, and would provide ideal privacy for homeless who had nowhere else to go, after the proposed site failed to actually get them back on their feet. But those are the same parks our neighborhood's children play in. And the proposed site is along the route our neighborhood's children use to walk or bike to and from school. Knowing that the site managers are not obligated to provide the full array of services the recipients will need and that therefore there will necessarily be some degradation of safety in our neighborhood, whether large or small, it would irreparably alter the character of our neighborhood to know that our children biking to school or playing in our cui-de-sacs were not as safe as they could or should have been. Combined with the unfortunate reality that some percentage of homeless would rather commit a petty crime to achieve the shelter afforded by some jail time than be forced to return to living without a roof over their head, we must assume that such crimes will be perpetrated, at some nonzero background rate, in our neighborhood as the end of temporary housing approaches for a subset of desperate individuals. If someone has to choose between living in, say, Ardmore Park, or breaking a window to earn some time in jail, everybody loses. Allowing a non-government facility that lacks the ability to provide the necessary end-to-end services to ensure positive outcomes for recipients to open in our residential neighborhood is simply not appropriate for our neighborhood nor helpful for the homeless would be under-served by this proposal. This proposal is bad for our neighborhood, however well intentioned it may be.

I support this project and believe it will be a positive experience for our community if we engage with the residents and help it succeed. I worked for Hopelink for 9 years and have witnessed families in poverty and homelessness. I have worked and volunteered in shelters with homeless women, men, youth and families. I am a realist and I do respect the fears and concerns of my neighbors; I recognize these populations are very different, and some are very hard to serve. There are homeless families right now in need of housing in our communities and schools of Redmond and Bellevue. The characterization that this site will become a revolving door and magnet for hardened Seattle street people, drug dealers and violent young offenders is fear mongering, and not supported by meaningful data. Hopelink has operated very similar 30-90 day stay family shelters in Redmond and Bellevue for over 20 years with success and has helped many families transition to permanent housing. Creekside Covenant Church, Westminster Chapel and the Evangelical Chinese Church are living their faith to provide the space, funding and support to help these families. The Union Gospel Mission is a well respected and knowledgeable agency equally committed to the success of this project and I am very thankful they will be the service provider on site. I look forward to the opportunity to volunteer, provide meals and welcome these families to our neighborhood.

For the record, although our address is in Bellevue, we live within 500 feet of the proposed project. We have followed the progress of the application since its inception, read the City's Technical Report (with attachments), and feel that we fully understand what is being proposed. While we applaud the passion of our neighbors in opposition to the project (we do understand as we too have opposed more than one project near this very property), we believe their concerns in this case are unwarranted. We have long supported the Union Gospel Mission and their partners in the fight against homelessness. We have come to know them as a credible organization, with a well-trained and committed staff capable of managing a facility such as that proposed. With a focus on the most vulnerable, homeless women and children, and a specific focus on families in Redmond, Bellevue and Kirkland, we see this project as an opportunity to provide a much needed service. Are there risks? Of course! But this is NOT Bell town or Kent. We believe the risks are manageable as defined and explained in the applicant's submitted materials. Consequently, we support the work of the Planning Department's Technical Committee and their recommendation to approve the project.

We've also gotten to know a few personally, and a few of them have voiced that they would feel more comfortable in an area where they would be able to get a job and be equals with their neighbors- something that is hard in the heart of Microsoft-, and for several reasons we believe that a homeless shelter in this location is perhaps not the best idea. First off, the real estate in this area is very expensive and the money that will be spent on it could be stretched out more in a different area like Kent or Renton or Snohomish. This means that essentially, what $100 will pay for here, will buy $150 in another location. Furthering on, the real estate in this area is very wanted and thus, a larger and more well equipped building can be built cheaper in another area. Additionally, because of the influx of immigrants to this area, there might not be as many jobs and opportunities for the homeless in terms of their integration into a life with more opportunities. Finally, for the sake of their safety, it might be better for them to be placed in an area where there is more support and opportunities for the homeless, with the understanding that myself and many of my neighbors still support the homeless in any ways we can. Additionally, because of the proximity of this shelter to nearby public schools, there might be disagreement and mixed feelings from both the current residents and the future homeless residents.

We are resident of the Ardmore neighborhood and this project directly affects us. We want to be a part of record and note our opposition to this project via this email. We note the following concerns and would appreciate your response or guidance on these. Please know that we are raising these as per the information we have received so far and as our personal concerns. This is not intended to be a legal opinion or position. 1. This is a residential neighborhood and the property in question is a single family home. The size and purpose of the facility does not fit the current structure which is intended to house no more than a small family while the facility is intended for over 40 people including staffers. 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2. We are peace loving families with kids and the biggest concern with the facility is that of safety and security of our families, children mainly. Recently there has been an increase in crime rate in the neighborhood. We are concerned that bringing homeless families with no extra law enforcement may lead to an increase in crime. We are concerned that the applicant has not done enough research on probability of increased crime and the city is not taking enough measures to prevent crimes. 3. With the facility also housing young men (age 14-18) and a known co-relation of homelessness with alcohol and drug abuse we are concerned that the neighborhood will be subject to drug and alcohol related incidents and crimes. We are unclear what is being done to screen the people using this facility, prevent such incidents and help resolve in case there is an escalation. 4. We are concerned as to why this facility needs to be in a residential neighborhood when there hasn't been an acute rise or a history of homelessness in the area. The applicant is known to have location in downtown Redmond that is a better suited location from point of view of transportation and access to jobs. This calls to question as to why the city is permitting use of a residential property for purpose of housing 40 families when there is a better suited option available? 5. We are also concerned that the inflow of people, parking requirements, and need for outside meeting places with family members not allowed in the shelter will disrupt the peace and environmental balance of this neighborhood. What is the city doing to address these concerns? We'd appreciate a response from you and further guidance on how we can raise our concerns at the right platform. Thank you in advance.

Properly attending to the needs of people that are more likely to suffer from mental illness and/or substance abuse due to their hardships requires proper accommodations and planning. The current proposal of cramming a large number of people in a property designed for 8, located in a residential neighborhood and close to several schools does not appear to be have been well thought through. Drug abuse and mental illnesses are known triggers for violence and criminal behavior. These require professional help and expertise. Even if we assume that the families will go through a thorough selection process to ensure that they will not pose a danger to others (such as: other families in the center, staff, neighbors) it is likely others will come to either live or wander in neighborhood, such as but not limited to the male counterparts that were excluded and the drug dealers. The Tam O'Shanter and Ardmore parks are obvious first choices for tents. No selection, drugs, residential neighborhood, adjacent forest, schools: lots of potential for highly regrettable outcomes. Both our children attend the close-by schools and their bicycle commute have them pass right in front of the center and both parks twice every day. The same goes for their friends.

Unfortunately, we strongly feel that the current plan will not offer adequate help to these families while at the same time it will be endangering others, especially children. There are other, better, proven ways to help. Such as "adopting" one family at a time and helping this family stabilize and rebuild a life. The block project is one such example.

I don't agree with placement of this facility in this location. I respect the Union Gospel Mission and feel their efforts providing meals and shelter in urban areas are certainly a success. However, I don't think the Bel Red site is an appropriate location for homeless services. I've lived here for 15 years, and have rarely seen a homeless person, so there are very few local people who need this kind of facility. In addition to this, the Bel Red site has a walk score of 29 and transit score of 30 (out of 1 00) and is on 2 arterials without crosswalks. It is not a good location for someone who doesn't have a car. Also of concern, there are a couple of large unlit forested parks in the immediate area that are not policed. If this center is providing day services to homeless people, these parks will be inviting as shelter. I was not sure how to confirm this, but read that the Union Gospel Mission requires people they help to go to Christian services. I take issue with that but nothing to do with Bel Red site except that it is a fairly diverse community and only serving a particular religion is not in the spirit of the neighborhood. This is such a strange location for this facility I have to think there is some motive in play other than helping the homeless and I sincerely hope this use of this site is rejected. Please don't allow this center to be sited here and potentially create hard to fix problems for existing residents. Sincerely, Sandra Stromme Click here to report this email as spam.

It is ridiculous to do this in a residential area, without the proper studies of the impact (crime, property values, visual appeal and so on) a and consent of the neighborhood. Here are some of my objections: - location is close to an elementary school. Kids are walking home in front of the location. -a hundred yards away there is a drug free zone, and if you ask me it should be extended to the whole neighborhood. What do they have in place to prevent the homeless for bringing drugs and drug related activities to our neighborhood? -the Interlake is also nearby and students run on 24th and 173 Rd on their jogging exercises. -how are they going to prevent homeless people from loitering in the neighborhood? -did anybody do any study on the impact in the houses prices such a shelter has on a neighborhood? -did anybody do any study on the impact in the crime rate accepted shelter bring? 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- Believing there is no impact is delusional and or reckless.

My wife, Michelle, and I are against this proposal and the location to place a 40 person homes shelter ins single family residence and single family residential neighborhood. We are supportive to have programs to help those in need. Part of this support should be making sure the location is well suited. I have attended the 3 neighborhood meetings (two of which were in Redmond City Hall) and the proposed location has many concerns for the neighbors. There has been considerable feedback provided to the City both written and in the neighborhood meetings. Just a few thoughts that come to mind are: -Safety concerns on having a 40 person homeless shelter in a residential location - By Redmond Zoning- not a permitted activity in a Single Family residential location -By Redmond Zoning code RZC 21.78, a "family" is described as: An individual or two or more persons related by blood or marriage; eight or fewer nonrelated persons living together in a single dwelling unit, unless a grant of reasonable accommodation as identified in RZC 21. 76, Review Procedures, allows an additional number of persons. Having 40 people in a single family residence just makes little sense. -Safety concerns around the locations around the shelter and possible negative impact other areas including green belts -The change to the neighborhood in having a continuous stream of short term people who have no connection to the neighborhood Were you able to attend any of the two City Hall Neighborhood Meetings? 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- Are you already Party of Record?

My family lives on the other side of ardmore park from this proposed location. We are Bellevue resident and homeowners. Our children go to Ardmore elementary. While our hearts go out to families in need who are suffering financially we cannot condone this proposed shelter site. The site is not in a desirable location for a homeless shelter. It has come to our attention that the applicant owns much larger locations in downtown redmond. Wouldn't a downtown location near the bus stations and near more employment opportunities be a better fit? We are in full support of having more resources and shelters for homeless families in the Eastside. There is certainly a need but not in the middle of a residential neighborhood with such a low walk ability score. We understand that this is a sensitive subject and I am sure that you have already received many comments on this topic.

I want to be a party of record and oppose this proposal in this specific lot. Summary: To summarize I believe the plot is a bad choice to start a shelter due to surrounding schools, size of lot, Traffic and Parking Here are my reasons: 1. Safety concerns - I am not concerned about crime directly from women and children moving into the shelter but estranged lovers or husbands who might have subjected them to domestic abuse. Domestic abuse and sexual abuse is heavily under- reported and screenings are in-effective. Our community is a very young community with most children under 10 who walk up to Audubon elementary. There is Sherwood elementary and Interlake schools on the same street few blocks away. Kids are all around walking on the streets during morning and school release time. Any small act of violence will be heavy on the community. Homeless children and women are in most vulnerable stage in their life. They will need a thorough planning and security so that they themselves are not prone to any abuse or violence to lack of all rounded services. This is an extremely poor planned initiative by applicant creating problems to neighborhood and overburdening Redmond police. 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2. Overcrowding/Disease -This place is extremely small for 40 people and read NPR reporting one in 5 homeless don't opt for shelter due to this. There is no room for expansion also. This is extremely unfit location for this initiative. 3. Parking/Traffic -This is a very small lot with children walking to-from schools on sidewalks and school buses during morning and afternoons. This initiative will only create more chaos. I feel finding a suitable lot should be important for these initiatives.

They certainly need our assistance with such things as shelter, food, health care, child care, transportation, job training, etc. In fact, I do help in several ways thru local organizations that I belong to. However, I do NOT support placing a homeless shelter in the middle of a residential community. I feel a better location would be in/near the downtown area where they have better access to services, grocery stores, schools, buses, health care, potential work, etc. I do NOT support placing a homeless shelter in the BEL-RED location as planned. I have many concerns about this location: -Is this shelter within the current zoning rules of the City of Redmond? -the house does not appear to be large enough to house 40 people -how long will families be staying there? How "transient" will they be? 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- -what happens when they leave the home? where do they go ? -what restrictions will be placed on visitors? -the corner of NE 24th and 173 NE is a very busy corner, with poor visibility for those turning . It is NOT a good location for children to play, wait for a bus, etc. If a fence were to be built, it must NOT go all the way to the corner as it would further decrease visibility on an already dangerous corner -How would this affect the home values and taxes in the neighborhood? -designated Redmond schools (elementary, middle and high schools) are far away 6 miles) -grocery and other stores are at 1-2 miles away. Most "HELP" services are located in downtown Redmond -This is not comfortable or appropriate for those home owners that are next door or across the street. -will there be on site monitors, residents in charge, security full time at the home? Please, City of Redmond, Union Gospel Mission and supporting Churches Consider these questions and concerns and place this shelter in a more appropriate location!

We wish to be added as a party of record and object this proposal. Our area is zoned for single family homes (R-3 Single-Family Constrained Residential). Our understanding is that this is to preserve uniformity in the character of neighborhoods. Housing up to 40 persons for prolonged period oftime in a single family home seems incompatible. 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- The CUP seems to be requested as part of the exception allowed under RZC 21.08.280. The RZC 21.08.280 states as the purpose for the church usage "religious assembly". The city argument/response is that this also allows other usages as long as it is part of their mission to provide charitable services. The RZC does not seem to mention that. Our area at the border of the city of Redmond water system seems to have already low water pressure (low flow zone?). What impact will this project (40 residents I the new water line) have on the water pressure I flow?

Thank you. Margaret Click here to report this email as spam. 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- Comment Number Four by Margaret Leiberton, 17208 NE 22nd Ct., Redmond In Opposition to LAND- 2016- 01036 February 1, 2018 The Applicant and City have crafted and put forth LAND-2016-01036, a proposal and process fraught with confusing inconsistencies. This comment predominantly focuses on the first page of the Technical Committee Report to the Hearing Examiner. Problems within the first page of that Report typify problems in process and throughout this application. 1. The first page of the Technical Committee Report to the Hearing Examiner (hereinafter referred to as the TCR) identifies the Applicant as the Evangelical Chinese Church, the Owner as Peter Su, the Applicant's Representative/s as MG2 and Jonathan Chang. Two General Application Forms (one via Public Records Request, the other within the TCR) show the Evangelical Chinese Church as the owner with two different names (Victor Lee and Peter Su) as contacts. Both now show the Applicant as MG2 (not the owner). One General Application Form shows no signature/s whatsoever while two signatures appear on the other (with Peter Su's looking to contain more than one uy," or 11j"). The Notice of Application identifies the Applicant as Robert Schildgen. The Re-Issued Notice of Application identifies the Applicant as Peter Su. The public posted Notice of Hearing on the Proposed Land Use identifies the Creekside Covenant Church and the Evangelical Chinese Church as Applicants. Why is Creekside Covenant Church now an applicant? The first page of the TCR does not indicate Creekside as an applicant. Neither the Notice of Application, nor the Re-Issued Notice of Application, nor the General Application Forms identify Creekside as an applicant. One Application Form does contain a signature of a person "authorized to sign on behalf of property owner" and identifies that person from Creekside as "Jointly Applied." In application materials, on websites or other publications issued by BeiRed Family Resource Center, and at neighborhood meetings, Creekside (together with Winchester Chapel and Seattle Union Gospel Mission) was identified as a ({partner," not an applicant or co-applicant. In the final analysis, whether co-applicant or not, Creekside does not own the land of this proposed action. How is it possible for Creekside to obtain a permit to use land it does not own? ---PAGE BREAK--- 2. The first page ofthe TCR shows a "Public Hearing Date" of "November 6, 2017". If there was a November 6, 2017 hearing, the public was never notified. 3. The first page of the TCR designates the Applicant's Representative as "MG2." Is this abbreviation a person, an entity, or a typo? 4. The first page of the TCR identifies the "Decisions Included" as ''LAND-2016- 01036/Conditional Use Permit, Type Ill and". Is "and" an edit error? Has something been forgotten or deleted? The First Notice of Application noted the Application Type to be a "Conditional Use." The Re-Issued Notice of Application noted the Application Type to be "Conditional Use-Change of Use." Now the TCR adds "and." 5. The first page of the TCR, "Project Description" describes the project as an " accessory use to the Creekside Covent Church". Is "Covent Church" different than Creekside Covenant Church? 6. The TCR indicates that the proposed land use complies with the Redmond Zoning Code. In fact it does not. Redmond Zoning Code contravenes the use of a single-familv dwelling as a 40-oerson-homeless-shelter within a single-family residential zone whether or not said land is owned and permitted as a church. Churches mav surelv own and surely operate hospitals, cemeteries, missions. shelters. etc., but according to the Redmond Zoning Code, these land uses are prohibited within the R-3 single-family residential zone. 7. The "Project Name" on the TCR is "BeiRed Family Resource Center." The Notice of Application called the project "ECC Woman and Children's House," and the Re-Issued Notice of Application called it the "ECC Woman and Children's House to further be known as: Bel Red Family Resource Center." At the Neighborhood Meeting of May 1, 2017, applicant representatives called the project the "Woman and Children House (or Home)." Asked about the name change, the representative owner stated the "ECC Woman and Children's House" was to distinguish the overnight shelter from the day program which had been named the BeiRed Family Resource Center. Despite this wiggle-waggle confusion, the BeiRed Family Resource Center day program is noteworthy: The day program served homeless women and children. It operated from the office/school facility owned by and situated next door to Creekside Covenant Church. It operated without a permit or a license and for only a few short months in 2016. The Seattle Union Gospel Mission representative reported it closed due to a paucity of clients. Despite this closure, the Seattle Mission website continued to list this non-existent, non-permitted entity as a service it offered. ---PAGE BREAK--- As of Jan. 28, 2018, the Seattle Union Gospel Mission website noted that the BeiRed Family Resource Center will be " starting Spring 2018." HOW IS THAT KNOWN TO BE CERTAIN? 8. Lastly, the Technical Report is submitted by: a) Karen Anderson, Planning and Community Development Director. If Karen Anderson is the same as Karen Haluza lately of Fullerton, then she has held her post and resided in the City of Redmond for less than nine months. Has this been time enough to learn of Redmond's past development? Has it been enough to develop a prudent vision of Redmond's future? b) Linda Whattam, Interim Public Works Director. Ms. Whattam's experience with the City of Redmond has been less than two years in the Dept. of Parks & Recreation, at the interim Public Works post for less than two months. In summary, inconsistencies and problems revealed on the first page of the TCR reflect pervasive problems in this Land Use proposal. In addition to red flags raised by inconsistencies due to lack of care or ability to effectively communicate, the action poses adverse effects to City residents by circumventing the rule of the City's own law. The proposed land use should be denied. End of Comment Submission Number Four by M.

Location: That need does not appear to be in this neighborhood, 500 feet inside Redmond. This proposed location is not suitable and does not provide the services these families could need without driving a car or taking the bus. School: Children will most likely not attend the neighborhood schools and will be transported to schools they attend now. That's an extra expense for the school district when they need money. Traffic: The City of Redmond knows that 173rd Ave NE is a heavily travelled road (called the Microsoft Highway). Traffic is 24 hours a day and cars do not obey the 25 MPH speed limit after turning off NE 24th. More cars and activity are not compatible to the neighborhood. Parking is allowed on 173rd Ave NE and can be dangerous. Creekside Church members use the proposed shelter house lot and 173rd Ave NE for parking even when their parking lot is not full. The proposed shelter will have limited parking and use the church parking lot for over flow. Security: The church property has a chain across the driveway to the parking lot when not occupied by church members and staff to prevent unauthorized "visitors". Now the driveway will be open more because of the proposed shelter residents and staff using the parking lot. City of Redmond: Today, the house does not have the neighborhood appearance per the City of Redmond Decision Criteria b. The little house was built in 1941 and since 2002 has incorporated a hodgepodge of revisions and additions. From experience, I have no faith in the system to follow up after permits have been granted to make sure recipients are in compliance. Property Values: Windemere, John L Scott and Keller Williams have told me "degradation of property is real" and the value of my property could go down because people do not want to live by a homeless shelter. Marlene Taylor Houtchens 17309 NE 23rd Court, Redmond 98052 [PHONE REDACTED], email [EMAIL REDACTED] ---PAGE BREAK--- Attachment 1-A 1-A Please find below, a little history about me to show that I am not a new comer on dealing with helping others with all kinds of special needs. I'm a Boeing retiree, Community Volunteer and Senior Citizen Intern. No one wants to help fix the homeless situation in King County more than I do. I was born in Seattle and grew up with people who were engaged in helping others. I was an only child and at one time we had a foster child in our home. My Dad donated blood and delivered bread from his bakery job to the Seattle Union Gospel Mission and Millionaires Club. My grandfather helped people at the Pike Place Public Market where he owned a small shop. My mother was always caring for and helping others. In 1962, after a car accident on Rainier AveS. near Rainier Beach, my car was towed to the back lot of the local gas station. The neighborhood homeless person, "Sam Spade", slept in the car and local business people helped him with food, etc. In 1976-1978, I was a Trustee on the Boeing Employees Good Neighbor Fund (BEGNF), renamed Boeing Employees Community Fund. In 1985-1987, I was chair or co-chair of the Boeing Employees Food and Essentials Drive as well as participating in many other Boeing community volunteer activities. The next time I saw someone in need was 1992, on my way to the Museum of Flight, when I saw a man and woman standing on a corner at the Albro Avenue Exist Off Rramp from Interstate 5 with a sign asking for help because they are homeless. This couple would alternate holding the sign, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. People would say it was a scam and the couple used this way to earn money for their livelihood. In 1995, after retirement, I was asked to join the Boeing Management Association Retiree's Board, and served in many positions. My last position, for many years, was Community Affairs Chair and lasted until I resigned in 2012. We sorted food at Food Lifeline, made wooden toys for the kids, assisted visitors with disabilities at the Boeing Tour, among other activities. In 1996, I was asked to join a group of King County area people (who were working in many different fields of employment) to start a Chapter of Christmas in April-Seattle on the Eastside. We would call ourselves Christmas in April-Eastside. (The National organization changed the name to Rebuilding Together several years later). This organization helps low income, elderly and disabled homeowners spruce up their homes once a year on Rebuilding Day in April. The first reaction we had was "where would we ever find houses, no one on the Eastside needs help". Our geographically area was East of 1-90 to North Bend, North to Bothell, and South to Renton. We found houses for seven years before the Eastside Chapter dissolved. In 1997, I was a Senior Citizen Intern in Congresswoman Jennifer Dunn's office. I've stayed very busy since retirement supporting many non-profit organizations besides the ones mentioned above, i.e. Return to Renton Car Show, Seattle Humane, Medic One, and Bridge Disability Ministries. I'm looking at this homeless situation as a person who has had a lot of exposure and experience which enables me to help judge its benefits versus its risk and negative impact on the community. ---PAGE BREAK--- Attachment 2 to Hearing Examiner's Meeting February 6, 2018 Re:Proposed Homeless Shelter & Additional backup and personal comments are as follows: (Revised February 2, 2018) 2 At the first Neighborhood Meeting in June 2015, the attendees were told that this was a partnership with four organizations: Evangelical Chinese Church (EEC), Creekside Covenant Church (CCC), Seattle Union Gospel Mission (SUGM), and Westminster Chapel (WC) R-1 to advise the neighborhood that they were proposing to file an application to open a overnight shelter for women and children in the little house on the corner. The tasks for each organization/partner were explained as follows: Evangelical Chinese Church (EEC) - R-1 Owner ofthe property@ 2321-173rd Avenue NE, Redmond 98052. Creekside Covenant Church (CCC)- R-1 Church located next to the proposed homeless shelter and have parking space available. R-1 The BeiRed Family Resource Day Center will not be located at Creekside Church. R-1 CCC will be asked to provide volunteers, meals, clothes, diapers, etc. Eventually financial support is expected whether outright donations or fund raisers. Seattle Union Gospel Mission (SUGM)- R-1 The Mission will be the Staff to operate the proposed homeless shelter (Bel Red Family Resource R-1 Center), as well as vetting all families who would be in need. They will provide all services at the house 24 hours a day including daytime services and counseling. Westminster Chapel (WC)- R-1 WC will be asked to provide volunteers, meals, clothes, diapers, etc. Eventually financial support is expected whether outright donations or fund raisers. At this meeting, to my surprise, the atmosphere in the room was hot (and I don't mean temperature). This proposed location is 500 feet inside Redmond. I know there are people who need housing in Redmond because I see them near the Library. I have not seen people sleeping in their cars, holding signs, or living in tents near this proposed area. I do see people standing on corners in Bellevue 20 blocks or more away. The location, in my opinion, is not favorable because the services these families will need are not close to the proposed location. For example, stores, medical, gas, clothing, other needs are at least 17 blocks away. The only bus (#226), which stops across the street from the proposed shelter location on NE 24th, runs every hour. We have been told that the children who live at the proposed shelter will not necessarily be attending Sherwood Elementary or Interlake High schools if they do not attend there now. They will be bused to the school they are attending now. We were told the school district will provide transportation for these children (from the tax payers). Cars will be coming and going on a busy street that has lots of traffic 24 hours a day. The speed limit is 25 MPH but not many people obey the sign. In fact, lots cars come off of NE 24th and round the corner onto 173rd NE too fast. It's an accident waiting to happen. ---PAGE BREAK--- 3 We have been told that the Homeless Shelter has a limited amount of parking at the "house" (no more than 10 cars) and the over flow will park in the church parking lot. They will have an agreement with the church to use their parking lot. The parking could be available to more people and cause a lot of parking in the lot and on the street each day, not just on Suinday when Creekside holds it services There is a chain across the church driveway now to prevent unauthorized people access to the church property when staff or church activities are not taking place. The chain is unlocked when church members and/or staff are on site. This could mean that the chain across the driveway will be unlocked more (even daily) and could cause concerns in regard to "unauthorixed visitors". R-1 On May 31, 2016 the BeiRed Family Resource Day Center opened in the classroom building of Creekside Church to provide women and children resources to help them during the day, it was open from (7:30am- 3:30 pm). R-1 The next day, June Pt, myself and a Redmond City Council member met at the BeiRed Family Resource Day Center with a Board Member of the Evangelical Chinese Church and three representatives of the Seattle Union Gospel Mission. This meeting did not start off so well because I asked why Westminster Chapel was not in attendance (a partner) and had their location been considered for the proposed homeless shelter. They have a very large church building and huge parking area. Well, the council member slammed his hand on the table and proceeded to give me a verbal scolding. He said my "questions and comments were irrelevant and we are not here to talk about Westminster Chapel" . The Evangelical Chinese Church representative agreed with him and said "we want to be good Christians and we have the building and the City of Redmond has a need". The ladies from Seattle Gospel Mission were very nice and tried to taper the emotions down. Shortly after, the council member and church board member left. I stayed and received a great briefing from the Seattle Gospel Mission staff about their services. My neighbor and his wife missed the meeting and we went back so they could met and talk with the Union Gospel Mission staff. R-1 The BeiRed Family Resource Family Day Center closed a few months later after only seeing a few families. We were told the women and children also needed overnight housing. R-1 After attending a couple neighborhood meetings at a local home, and receiving many emails, it was obvious the neighbors felt the proposed overnight homeless shelter, in our neighborhood, was not a good location but felt it was a done deal. Since I live across the street (since 1983), and have had various concerns and problems with some of the church property owners it's been stressful at times. For example, Conditional Use Permits have been granted in the past to owners of these two properties but the City does not always check up to see if the agreed upon conditions are being met. Gnawing issues have been the parking lot adjacent to the church and the concrete slab in front of the church. Paving the parking lot was a requirement many years ago and the concrete slab was not to be used as a play area. People outside the neighborhood, and not church members, would arrive late at night, park in the lot and play basketball for several hours. After concerns were made to the City, the basketball hoop (which had been placed in cement) was removed. The parking lot was never paved. Based on past experience (I can provide data), what guarantee does the neighborhood have that all conditions of the CUP requirements will be followed and monitored by the City of Redmond. R-1 I visited Westminster Chapel May 1, 2017 and took them by surprise when I asked them what they were doing in this partnership. They seemed surprised I asked the question. I told the Pastor, Mark Pedrin, ---PAGE BREAK--- 4 we should go door to door collecting money to build a building on a corner of their large parking lot to house the women and children. That got his attention. After reviewing the Be IRed Family Resource Center Website and information I had been given, in the past, I realized they would be asked to provide volunteers, meals, clothes, diapers, etc. Eventually financial support is expected whether outright donations or fund raisers. About 30 minutes before going to Westminster, I saw a pretty young woman standing just two blocks away from the church with a sign, back pack and bed roll. Too bad she was not standing there when I went up the hill, I would have asked her to join me since I was going to the church. Why didn't the Together Center in Redmond take on this project for housing women and children overnight? It seems the perfect fit to organize this endeavor. Pam Mauk, CEO of Together Center wrote, "works in the tight knit community of human services", she "along with the 22 agencies on campus and other community partners, work to ensure that the well being of the community is supported through the easy availability of key services". This was written in the Redmond Reporter on July 7, 2017. "Together Center agencies, for example, provide medical and dental care, child care referral, autism advocacy and legislative work, life-long supports for developmentally disabled adults, overnight shelter for homeless youth and much more." Does the City of Bellevue have a together center? In my opinion, too many organizations are trying to help solve the homeless situation. They are all doing good work in their own way. But, today we have over 60+ organizations all trying to do something to solve the problem. There is a lot of duplication and they have staff and expenses to pay. If all current organizations were part of an integrated effort to solve the problem of homeless ness, in the entire King County area, duplication could be eliminated and save resources. To start, we could categorize the people in need and select the organization best suited to handle that category. We should not continue to permit more and more little organizations to start up. If I was 20 years younger I would help pull all these organizations together. Even now, I could help as a Senior Citizen Intern. R-1 So here we are today, almost three years later and the neighbors are still upset. A revision to the original conditional use permit (CUP) request was filed in July 2017. This revision increases the number of people, to be accommodated, at the overnight homeless shelter from 25 people to 40 people. R-1 This request for a woman and children's overnight homeless shelter should be denied because it is not suitable at this location. Sorry for going on so long but it really upsets me that we have this problem and it keeps getting worse. The money being spent on homeless ness should solve the problem. I remember when I saw, for the first time, a person(s) holding a sign; it was in 1995 on the Albro Street off ramp from 1-5. A woman held the sign in the morning and a man held the same sign in the afternoon. People would comment that they were a team and probably made a lot of money. This category of people who make a business out of holding signs for their livelihood, should be taken care of very quickly, send them out of town.

W A 98052 Dear City Council Members, Please accept this letter as the official opinion of my client, Allen Monjazeb of 18717 NE 241h St, Redmond WA, 98052. As a resident in close proximity of2321 173rd AVE NE ("Proposed Project Property"), my client has concerns which persuade against any change in zoning or property use. My client's three main concerns are 1) the change of the residential nature of the neighborhood, 2) the impact on the value of his and the surrounding property, and 3) the potential harm of having a 40-person shelter in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Currently, the Proposed Project Property is zoned as single family residential R3 and is only 0.50 acres. However, the Proposed Project Property is seeking an allowance of 40 people to live on half of an acre. The proposed land use is as a shelter for up to forty people. As with many development projects, a change in one property's zoning tends to allow for rezoning of surrounding properties. The Proposed Project Property is located in the middle of a single family residential neighborhood. My client purchased his property due to the residential nature of the area. Any change to the zoning of nearby properties could diminish the value of my client's PAGE II LAW OFFICES SEATTLE INVESTMENT LAW GROUP, PLLC. 1001 4m AVE #3200 SEATTLE, WA 98154 PHONE: [PHONE REDACTED] ---PAGE BREAK--- property as a single-family residence. Furthermore, granting a change in use for the Proposed Project Property would potentially be a slippery-slope into further development of the area for higher occupancy properties. While my client is sensitive to the need to have shelters for people situated in unfortunate circumstances, the location of the Proposed Project Property is not an appropriate place for a shelter. The Proposed Project Property is located in a residential neighborhood near the Ardmore, Sherwood Forest, John James, and Bennet Elementary schools. It is concerning that people who may need more help and assistance than what is provided at a shelter may be housed in the area. If the Proposed Project Property were allowed to operate as a shelter in this residential area, then the safety of elementary school students would be entirely trusted upon the shelter's ability to properly determine who would be safe to live in the shelter and who would require a higher level of assistance. While the aforementioned concerns of my client are reason enough to not grant the change in use of the Proposed Project Property, there are some further questionable facts to the situation that raise concern. The Proposed Project Property was purchased in 2004 by Evangelical Chinese Church for $2,050,000, however, the 2017 appraised total value is $739,000. The total appraised value when the property was purchased in 2004 was $330,000. That means the Evangelical Chinese Church purchased the Proposed Project Property for over six times its appraised value. While this raises many questions, it also leads to ask if the Evangelical Chinese Church is attempting to achieve a higher occupancy use of the Proposed Project Property in order to increase its future value. While it is necessary to have help centers available to those who need them, local zoning councils must take into account any potential ulterior motives and negative impacts before granting the modified use of a property. My client respectfully asks that the council take into account all of the above-mentioned concerns and that the council deny the proposed land use.

My email is susanrw13floors.com. Please include this information in the Public Hearing material. Susan Nowers 17223 NE 22nd Ct. Redmond, WA 98052 [PHONE REDACTED] My husband and I have been homeowners on NE 22nd Ct, Redmond since 2002 and now have two children who attend Sherwood Forest Elementary and Highland Middle School respectively. I am an officer on the PTA Executive Board at Sherwood and am aware of the homeless problems that we have in our area. However, I do not believe that the proposed location is appropriate nor legal for the following reasons: 1. The Applicable Individual Zone Summarv in the Redmond Zoning Code Prohibits the Proposed Use. The Zoning Code expressly prohibits land uses not listed in the category of authorized uses under its individual zone use charts: "Permitted Uses in Zone Use Charts. Each zone use chart in RZC 21.08.020 through RZC 21.08.140 lists categories of land uses that may be permitted and any kind of conditional review process which may be required. Land uses not listed are prohibited unless otherwise orovided bv this chapter or some other orovision of the Zoning Code." RZC 21.08.160.A (underlining added). Because the subject property is zoned R-3, the individual zone summary set forth in RZC 21.08.050 applies. Under the heading of "R-3 Single-Family Constrained Residential," that Code section provides this "zone provides for low-density residential at a base density of three dwellings per acre on lands inappropriate for more intense urban development due to significant environmentally critical areas, extreme cost, or difficulty in extending public facilities or the presence of natural features Redmond is seeking to retain." RZC 21.08.050.A. The uses allowed in R-3 zoned property are set forth in RZC 21.08.050.D. Because the category of"social assistance, welfare and charitable services" is not listed anywhere under section D, the Redmond Zoning Code prohibits the use of the subject property as a homeless shelter. 2. The Proposed Use is Not as a Religious Institution. While the principal of the applicant may be a religious institution, he does not propose to use the subject property as a religious institution. Pursuant to the Code, such uses consist of"[ c ]hurches, temples, synagogues, monasteries, and similar institutions operated by religious organizations." RZC 21.78.R Definitions. Rather, the applicant seeks to use the property as a 40-person homeless shelter. Such use falls in the category of social assistance, welfare and charitable services. The Code definition of this category is the following: "Social Assistance, Welfare and Charitable Services. The provision of social assistance services, including shelters, directly to individuals in need." RZC 21.78.S Definitions. The proposed homeless shelter, therefore, does not qualify as use as a religious institution. That use is not what applicant has proposed. 3. The Comprehensive Allowed Uses Chart in the Redmond Zoning Code Prohibits the Proposed Use. 2 ---PAGE BREAK--- The Zoning Code, in its Comprehensive Allowed Uses Chart, does not authorize the use of the subject property as a shelter. "This chart is meant to serve as a compilation of permitted uses within each ofthe individual zone summaries " RZC 21.04.030.A. The Comprehensive Allowed Uses Chart for residential zones is specifically set forth in RZC 21.04.030.B. Permitted uses for R-3 zoned properties are designated in the column under R3 with a whereas conditional uses are designated there with a A category for uses involving social assistance, welfare and charitable services exists in the Comprehensive Allowed Uses Chart under the subheading of "Education, Public Administration, Health Care and other Institutions." But the corresponding R3 column is blank, i.e., it contains neither a nor a Because shelters fall within this category but the column is blank, this Chart obviously prohibits the use proposed. Note that, attesting to the extreme nature of the permit sought via the application, shelters are not authorized in any properties in Redmond that are zoned residential. Looking across horizontally on the Comprehensive Allowed Uses Chart after the subcategory for social assistance, welfare and charitable services, all of the columns are blank. Shelters for humans, therefore, are not authorized in any residential zones in Redmond. This applies to uses that are both less intense and more intense than R-3 permits. Allowing a shelter in the R-3 zone here would clearly be a direct violation of the City's Zoning Code. 4. The Proposed Use Contravenes the Very Purpose of Establishing Zones. The proposal seeks authorization of a use that circumvents the very purposes of the Zoning Code. RZC 21.04.010 provides as follows: The purpose of establishing zones is to: a. Provide a pattern of land use that is consistent with and fulfills the vision of Redmond's Comprehensive Plan; b. Maintain stability of land uses and protect the character of the community by encouraging groupings of uses that have compatible characteristics; c. Provide for appropriate, economic, and efficient use of land within the city limits; and d. Provide for coordinates growth and ensure that adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in order to accommodate growth. The use of the subject property for a homeless shelter is inconsistent with and contravenes the vision of Redmond's Comprehensive Plan. The Comp Plan designates the subject property as Single-Family Constrained, not the dense population that the proposal describes. The proposal contravenes the LU-33 Designation Policies thereof. A homeless shelter, moreover, will destabilize the land uses and endanger the character of the community because its characteristics are incompatible with the general area consisting of residential Single-Family homes. At the Neighborhood Meeting in May 2017 at City Hall, I asked the applicant directly if they had considered *any* alternative sites or options instead of using this site for a 40 person, Multi-Family shelter forcing a request for zoning changes. Indeed, several options had been suggested to the applicant at the local neighborhood meeting held the previous year. Unfortunately, he said "No. No alternatives were considered." This undermines Redmond's Comprehensive Plan vision and Zoning Code in that the applicant has neither investigated nor considered any other options other than forcing a zoning exception for the project. For the number of years this shelter has been under consideration, the applicant has failed due diligence and good faith attempts to be in line with Redmond's Zoning Codes. 3 ---PAGE BREAK--- 5. The Proposed Use is Not for a Sim!le-Familv. The property is appropriately zoned Single-Family, not Multi-Family. The Code defines "family" as "[a]n individual or two or more persons related by blood or marriage; eight or fewer nomelated persons living together in a single dwelling unit, unless a grant of reasonable accommodation as identified in RZC 21.76, Review Procedures, allows an additional number of persons." RZC 21.78 .F Definitions. An occupancy of 40 individuals far exceeds the eight-person limit that applies to Single-Family residences. And the Review Procedures do not allow such a high occupancy in the Single-Family Constrained Residential zone. 6. The Proposed Use Does Not Meet the Reauirements for a Conditional Use Permit. Specifically, it fails to meet the requirements detailed in Redmond's zoning code, RZC 2l.76.070K4: K4.B The conditional use is designed in a manner which is compatible with and responds to the existing or intended character, appearance, quality of development, and physical characteristics of the subject property and immediate vicinity; K4.D The type of use, hours of operation, and appropriateness of the use in relation to adjacent uses minimize unusual hazards or characteristics of the use that would have adverse impacts; There are two main reasons for the failure to meet these requirements: First, as detailed above, this area in Redmond is zoned as Single-Family residences and the subject property is zoned R-3. There are a number of important quality of life and community environments fostered by setting aside such an area. The applicant intends this center to be a 40-person, Multi-Family residence. The length-of-stay is intended to be short-term, so a continual turnover of resident is expected. This is contrary to the goals of Single-Family residential neighborhoods and fails to meet and be compatible with the existing and intended character and quality of development of the immediate vicinity. The center will have clients with no long-term ties to the community. Indeed, the applicant states that its clients may come from areas outside this immediate vicinity. There will be multiple families in a single residence. Clearly, this proposal does not meet the K4.B compatibility restriction of Redmond's Zoning Code. Secondly, security around the immediate vicinity is questionable, and neighborhood security is not promoted by this application. The center's intended population is stated to have various unfortunate, negative associated issues including domestic violence, substance abuse and/or mental illness (by the applicants own admission). There are large green belt areas, grade schools, and parks around the proposed center location that can have both center's clients as well as associates of the clients deciding to have unsupervised (from the center's intentions to screen and monitor clients) activities. The applicant states that they will screen and monitor clients, but this does not address off-center property and associates from off-center associates who may seek shelter and/or interaction with their children, wives, or friends within the center. The center fails to meet the K4.D zone regulation. It brings risks and adverse impacts to the neighborhood. With the recent refiling of the application, we submit these additional comments to respond to the applicant's application recently modified to "Conditional Use- Change of Use." 7. The Hearin2: Examiner Does Not Have Jurisdiction to Modify the 1968 CUP. 4 ---PAGE BREAK--- Sherwood Forest Baptist Church filed Conditional Use Petition No. 10 on October 22, 1968. See Redmond Resolution No. 207. In it, that church requested permission to use a single 3.41-acre parcel "for a church complex." The City of Redmond subsequently issued the Conditional Use Permit ("the CUP"). In Section 3 of Resolution 207, the Council provided that it "may revoke or modify the conditional use herein granted " The City did not subsequently delegate its authority to modify the CUP to the Hearing Examiner. The Hearing Examiner, therefore, does not have jurisdiction to consider the applicant's modified request to modify the 1968 CUP. 8. The Applicant Cannot Relv On and Use the 1968 CUP Because It Terminated bv Abandonment. The CUP expired long ago. Section 41.3.1 of City Ordinance 310, passed in 1963, provided as follows: Abandonment of Use. When a conditional use of property is abandoned for a continuous period of one year, all permits or rights granted on the basis of such conditional use permission shall be void. The owners of the 0.50-acre subject property located at 2321 173rd A venue NE (Tax Parcel252505-9158) abandoned the conditional use permit long ago. This property has never been used as a church complex. Section 2.2 of Resolution 207 referred to the house on the subject property already in 1968. That house has been used solely as a residence since that time. The evidence that the subject property was never used for a church complex is overwhelming. Since its construction in 1941, the structure thereon has always been used as a single-family residence. A letter from then applicant Redmond Christian School dated June 26, 1985 described the usage at that time as follows: "2321 173rct N.E. is used as a single family dwelling." The City issued a Building Permit on April29, 1976 for the construction of a garage at 2321 173rd Avenue NE. A City Technical Committee Report dated July 17, 1985 identified the structure on the 2321 property as a "single-family residence" and made absolutely no mention of an existing CUP. With respect to an application from Redmond Christian School for a Special Development Permit ("the First SDP"), the City Hearing Examiner in a Memorandum dated August 7, 1985 indicated (on page 3, point 4) that the applicant also sought "to use a single-family residence, located on the property, as an additional classroom or office space." He indicated (on page 1 0) that the request was to locate a school on both 2315 and 2321 173rd AvenueNE. More recently, the City's Building Permit issued April2, 2007 for 2321 173rd Avenue NE described the work and use authorized as follows: ADDITION OF A 1,507 SF HEATED SPACE FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES ONLY. NO EVANGELICAL CHINESE CHURCH ACTIVITIES WILL BE CONDUCTED IN RESIDENCE. RESIDENCE TO PROVIDE HOUSING FOR PASTOR AND OCCASIONAL GUEST. (Emphasis added.) This mirrored the limiting language contained in the applicant's Residential Permit Application dated January 11, 2007. Because the subject property was never used for a church complex, the owners thereof abandoned the CUP when they segregated it from the 2.91-acre property located at 2315 173rd Avenue NE (Tax Parcel252505- 9040). At the very latest, this segregation occurred by 1985 when the City Technical Committee Report dated July 17, 1985 indicated that the parcel size was "2.91 and .50= 3.41 acres" and had the addresses of "2315 and 5 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2321 173rd A venue NE." Attached to that Report, moreover, were separate legal descriptions for 2315 173rd Avenue NE and 2321173rd Avenue NE. The applicant's reliance upon the CUP, therefore, is misplaced. He is not entitled to bootstrap in a CUP that expired long ago as to the subject property. 9. The Applicant Cannot Relv On and Use the 1968 CUP Because It Onlv Authorized the Operation of a Church. When Sherwood Forest Baptist Church filed its Conditional Use Petition No. 10 on October 22, 1968, it never requested that the 3 .41-acre parcel be used as a homeless shelter. The use requested was "CHURCH BUILDING." It requested therein permission to maintain a "[c]hurch facility to house the Sherwood Forest Baptist Church of Redmond, Washington." The City issued a Notice of Public Hearing dated November 6, 1968 on Conditional Use Petition No. 10. It notified the public that that applicant's request was "[p]ermission to construct a church building." The CUP only authorized the use of the property "for a church complex.". A letter dated November 25, 1968 to Sherwood Forest Baptist Church enclosing a copy of Resolution 207 stated that the CUP was "for a church building complex." 10. The Applicant Cannot Rely On and Use the 1968 CUP Because the 1985 SPD Superseded It. The City issued the First SDP for the subject property via a Final Approval Order that Mayor Doreen Marchione signed on September 3, 1985. The City issued a second SDP for the subject property via a Final Approval Order that Mayor Doreen Marchione signed on April 15, 1986. Because a property cannot simultaneously have a CUP and an SDP, the SDPs superseded the CUP even if it had remained in existence at that time. The applicant's reliance on the superseded CUP, therefore, is misplaced. 11. The Applicant Cannot Relv On and Use the 1968 CUP Because the Subject Property Has Never Before Been Used as a Homeless Shelter. The July 17, 1985 Technical Committee Report indicates that the 2321 property was never before intended to be used as a homeless shelter. Under "BACKGROUND" on page 1 thereof, it stated the following (emphasis added): "[T]he applicant is requesting approval to use a single-familv residence which it owns next door to the school for additional classroom or office space, if needed in the future. When it was discovered that part of the driveway for the abutting single-family house to the north was actually on the school's property, the school decided to buy the property for its own use. There are no plans to change the structure, only to change its use. It will continue to be used as a residence but they would like to have the option to use it for offices or classrooms." The description under "INTRODUCTION" on page 2 thereof was consistent therewith. 12. The Applicant Cannot Rely On and Use the 1968 CUP Because the 3.41-Acre Tract Was Subsequently Divided Into Two Parcels and the CUP Remained. If At All. with the 2.91-Acre Church Parcel. Not the Se2:regated 0.50-Acre House Parcel. The 2321 property has always been used as a single-family residence. It has never legally been used for any other purpose, whether as a homeless shelter, church or otherwise. The 1968 CUP only authorized a church to be maintained on the then 3 .41-acre parcel. Because the church building was and remains located and operated on what was subsequently segregated into the southern 2.91-acre 6 ---PAGE BREAK--- parcel and the house was and remains located and used for residential purposes on what was subsequently segregated into the northern 0.50-acre parcel, any CUP which remains after all these years went with the southern parcel, not the subject 2321 property.

We are residents in Malibu Vista near the Creekside Covenant Church. We are surprised that City of Redmond is planning to have homeless shelter near Bellevue and Redmond boundary line against lots of residents against the plan. This is end of tipping on both cities and police presents are rare. We have so many trails where it's does not have proper lighting. This is the perfect area to have mentally ill, drug addicts or sexual predators to hide in trails cause rape and/or criminal activities. We are saying "NO" to homeless shelter and one incident is too many for any victim to face. This location is five minutes away from Interlake High school and two elementary schools where children walk to school all the time without parents. Can you guarantee that all our children will be safe from any potential criminal activities caused by having a shelter in our neighborhood? Our community has warned the cities and if this does pursue, we will hire a lawyer to sue the city for having such irresponsible comprehensive plan and highest best use for this property. We have two young children like many household in this area. If any of our family gets hurt in any way by residents in homeless shelter or 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- people who might be brought to our neighborhood because of the shelter( not only shelter residents), we will purse a legal action and this notice will show in court. Please consider other area where heavy police monitor is present. Not near dark trails and parks. This is not the place public transit is easily access nor walking distance to any amenities what the homeless resident people need. It seems the reason the city chose this place is that this place would be cheaper to purchase the land to buy near the downtown so ask the resident sacrifice safety and risk life for city's convenience. Would it be the first thing the city's responsibility is to protect majority of citizen/resident's safety not against their wish and ignore their voice to fulfill City's plan for your political purpose? We look forward hearing how this issue will be resolved and will be there for hearing tomorrow. Thank you. C.

We are residents in Malibu Vista near the Creekside Covenant Church. We are surprised that City of Redmond is planning to have homeless shelter near Bellevue and Redmond boundary line against lots of residents against the plan. This is end of tipping on both cities and police presents are rare. We have so many trails where it's does not have proper lighting.

This is not the place public transit is easily access nor walking distance to any amenities what the homeless resident people need.

We have a little son and we're really worried about shelter with homeless people being so close. We understand the need for people to live somewhere but suggest to find a place for this shelter somewhere near apartments where most people don't plan to live for a long time, many don't have children and if they dislike something they can move more easily. It's already polluted outside of our fence that is facing 173rd street and we don't want the situation to worsen dramatically. 2224 173rd Ave NE, REDMOND wa Thanks, Anastasia Sent using OW A for iPhone Click here to report this email as spam. 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- Gloria Meerscheidt From: Sarah Pyle Sent: To: Monday, February 05, 2018 11:05 AM 'Karina Demurova' Cc: Sarah Pyle Subject: RE: Objecting to the Bel-Red Homeless Shelter proposal (LAND-2016-01036) as a bad fit for our neighborhood.

Ms Pyle, I would like to register my objection to the proposed homeless shelter at 173ave in Redmond. The proposed plan has no provisions for enforcement of the "Code of Conduct for BRFC guests", especially outside of the shelter premises, and I am not sure we can always count on voluntary compliance.

I am a neighborhood resident and I strongly object to this project as a bad fit for our neighborhood and community. We feel worried about our society's homeless problem, this irresponsible and poorly planned initiative is absolutely and clearly bad for our neighborhood and community. My family lives less than 0.4 miles to this bad proposed project. please hear from our strong voice of saying "NO" to this bad proposal. Regards!

While I think it's a noble idea to create a temporary home for the homeless people, I would like to voice my strong opposition to this center being located in this neighborhood. Our neighborhood is known for being a safe and secure environment for many kids who reside in the area, attend schools and playgrounds. Bringing homeless people in the neighborhood will jeopardize this feeling of security and question compliance of all the playgrounds with the basic sanitary norms. I want all the parents including myself to continue feeling safe about the outside environment where our children are playing and interacting on a daily basis.

My wife and I live just two blocks east of the Creekside Covenant Church. I have worked with a number of churches, an independent non-profit, and City of Redmond staff as they worked to provide increased homeless services and shelters in Redmond. I have also been party to many hundreds of contacts between police officers and homeless individuals within the Redmond City limits. I have accumulated this experience over a period of 20 years, but the bulk of this experience has been over the past five years. 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- What have I witnessed in Redmond? 1. A murder in Redmond and another in Sammamish by homeless individuals which were connected to homeless shelters based in Redmond. 2. Several assaults with deadly weapons on the river trail by homeless individuals using shelters in Redmond, crimes which have been unheard ofbefore on this trail 3. A homeless shelter's board tried to trespass people from their shelter, claiming they witnessed harassment and trying to use the police as their bouncers. But the entire board went to the police station to invoke their right to remain silent, foiling any investigation of the alleged harassment. 4. The same board refused to cooperate in the investigation of the disappearance of a $10,000 donation. 5. Calls by shelter staff members at a non-profit shelter to report a fight in the shelter, but refusal to open the door or cooperate with police to see to the safety of their clients. 6. Numerous attempts to obstruct officers pursuing fugitives trying to reach and hide in a shelter. 7. Obstruction of a police investigation into a rape of a business women about 100' from a shelter entrance. A staff member shouted to a large group of clients that they didn't need to cooperate with the police and encouraged their clients to enter the shelter. 8. A constant flow of suspicious persons along the river trail near a church sponsoring a "safe parking" program which has seen a steady flow of drug addicts that never existed before. Also, many of these subjects remain in the area of the church after reaching the end of their stay, parking in nearby businesses lots and roaming around in nearby residential areas. 9. Homeless individuals that remain behind in a neighborhood after being sponsored by a church or non- profit agency, and then camping and causing disturbances that can continue indefinitely in a neighborhood that had no such prior history. 10. Staff of a homeless shelter balked at refusing services to one of their clients when he was caught trying to lure a developmentally-delayed 14-year-old boy onto a bus. He was outside of their facility and using passes they had had provided just moments earlier. 11. Acquaintances and associates of individuals staying in shelters have accompanied them to the area of shelters, and engaged in trespassing and numerous nuisance crimes in the area around the shelter. This creates an amplified negative impact on the neighborhood around the shelter. 12. When Seattle finally addressed the issue of removing the homeless from the area known as the "Jungle," a group came directly to Redmond, built camps in a sensitive wetland retaining pond area, and littered the area with dozens of stolen bikes, needles, and bio-hazardous waste. The site remains a recurring problem, and a number of those individuals remain in the Redmond area engaging in crime and luring young local adults and teens into substance abuse and sexual exploitation. In the abstract, homeless individuals generally fall into ten broad categories. In the greater Seattle area, however, the clear majority fall into the difficult category of predatory drug-addicted criminals. In my experience, homeless advocates shun the mention of this category, believing that it casts a stereotype on homelessness. But failing to acknowledge this category has resulted in failures to tackle the issues relevant to this group. Most specifically and alarmingly, it results in shelters which house both the predatory criminal homeless with the vulnerable homeless which then become prey to exploitation and injury within the framework of a sanctioned shelter. The Bel-Red homeless Shelter Proposal (LAND-2016-01036) represents the worst plan yet to come to Redmond. It will create a revolving door to predominantly homeless from Seattle, and thrust upon Redmond 2 ---PAGE BREAK--- and this neighborhood the difficulties surrounding Seattle's failed policies of the last 20 years. I vigorously oppose the opening of a homeless shelter which will negatively impact my neighborhood as other shelters have in Redmond, and create problems in the neighborhood which previously have not existed in the past. Opening of this shelter will have ongoing negative consequences for this neighborhood for many years to come, and provide absolutely no positive benefits to the residents of my neighborhood, my family, my friends, or the City of Redmond.

As we all know, this shelter will not solve the homeless problems and it will only jeopardize the safety and livability of the area, it will cause home values to decline, and disrupt the sense of community of the neighborhood.

Sarah Pyle From: Mary Ruble [mailto:[EMAIL REDACTED]] Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2018 4:46 PM To: Sarah Pyle <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Subject: Objection to Shelter Proposal LAND-2016-01036 We are writing to be added as a "party of record" and to share our feedback on the Proposed "LAND-2016-01036: ECC Women and Children Shelter". I would ask that you confirm your receipt of this email and our status as a party of record. Thank you. We have lived off 173rd for almost 30 years, raised our family, been very involved in our community and local schools and want to preserve our single family neighborhoods. We are already being crushed by the onslaught of 5 over 1 high density apartments and condos everywhere you look and the incoming light rail we feel it is imperative to keep our neighborhoods as they were intended. I think most agree there is a need for social services to help those in need of shelter however, over crowding a small house with a constantly revolving door in a residential neighborhood with 40 women, children and teens up to 18 years of age including males is not what was the intended use of that property nor in keeping with our community. Surely, there must be a facility closer to services, stores and transportation than in the middle of a residential area! Points on why the shelter at this location is not appropriate and should be denied: 1. The Applicable Individual Zone Summary in the Redmond Zoning Code Prohibits the Proposed Use. The Zoning Code expressly prohibits land uses not listed in the category of authorized uses under its 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- individual zone use charts: "Permitted Uses in Zone Use Charts. Each zone use chart in RZC 21.08.020 through RZC 21.08.140 lists categories of land uses that may be permitted and any kind of conditional review process which may be required. Land uses not listed are prohibited unless otherwise provided by this chapter or some other provision of the Zoning Code." RZC 21.08.160.A (underlining added). Because the subject property is zoned R-3, the individual zone summary set forth in Attachment 2.d RZC 21.08.050 applies. Under the heading of "R-3 Single-Family Constrained Residential," that Code section provides this "zone provides for low-density residential at a base density of three dwellings per acre on lands inappropriate for more intense urban development due to significant environmentally critical areas, extreme cost, or difficulty in extending public facilities or the presence of natural features Redmond is seeking to retain." RZC 21.08.050.A. The uses allowed in R-3 zoned property are set forth in RZC 21.08.050.D. Because the category of "social assistance, welfare and charitable services" is not listed anywhere under section D, the Redmond Zoning Code prohibits the use of the subject property as a homeless shelter. 2. The Proposed Use is Not as a Religious Institution. While the principal of the applicant may be a religious institution, he does not propose to use the subject property as a religious institution. Pursuant to the Code, such uses consist of "[c]hurches, temples, synagogues, monasteries, and similar institutions operated by religious organizations." RZC 21.78.R Definitions. Rather, the applicant seeks to use the property as a 25-person homeless shelter. Such use falls in the category of social assistance, welfare and charitable services. The Code definition of this category is the following: "Social Assistance, Welfare and Charitable Services. The provision of social assistance services, including shelters, directly to individuals in need." RZC 21.78.5 Definitions. The proposed homeless shelter, therefore, does not qualify as use as a religious institution. That use is not what applicant has proposed. 3. The Comprehensive Allowed Uses Chart in the Redmond Zoning Code Prohibits the Proposed Use. The Zoning Code, in its Comprehensive Allowed Uses Chart, does not authorize the use of the subject property as a shelter. "This chart is meant to serve as a compilation of permitted uses within each ofthe individual zone summaries " RZC 21.04.030.A. The Comprehensive Allowed Uses Chart for residential zones is specifically set forth in RZC 21.04.030.B. Permitted uses for R-3 zoned properties are designated in the column under R3 with a whereas conditional uses are designated there with a A category for uses involving social assistance, welfare and charitable services exists in the Comprehensive Allowed Uses Chart under the subheading of "Education, Public Administration, Health Care and other Institutions." But the corresponding R3 column is blank, i.e., it contains neither a nor a Because shelters fall within this category but the column is blank, this Chart obviously prohibits the use proposed. Note that, attesting to the extreme nature of the permit sought via the application, shelters are not authorized in any properties in Redmond that are zoned residential. Looking across horizontally on the Comprehensive Allowed Uses Chart after the subcategory for social assistance, welfare and charitable services, all of the columns are blank. Shelters for humans, therefore, are not authorized in any residential zones in Redmond. This applies to uses that are Attachment 2.d both less intense and more intense than R-3 permits. Allowing a shelter in the R-3 zone here would clearly be a direct violation of the City's Zoning Code. 4. The Proposed Use Contravenes the Very Purpose of Establishing Zones. 2 ---PAGE BREAK--- The proposal seeks authorization of a use that circumvents the very purposes of the Zoning Code. RZC 21.04.010 provides as follows: The purpose of establishing zones is to: a. Provide a pattern of land use that is consistent with and fulfills the vision of Redmond's Comprehensive Plan; b. Maintain stability of land uses and protect the character of the community by encouraging groupings of uses that have compatible characteristics; c. Provide for appropriate, economic, and efficient use of land within the city limits; and d. Provide for coordinates growth and ensure that adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in order to accommodate growth. The use of the subject property for a homeless shelter is inconsistent with and contravenes the vision of Redmond's Comprehensive Plan. The Camp Plan designates the subject property as Single-Family Constrained, not the dense population that the proposal describes. The proposal contravenes the LU-33 Designation Policies thereof. A homeless shelter, moreover, will destabilize the land uses and endanger the character of the community because its characteristics are incompatible with the general area consisting of residential Single-Family homes. At the Neighborhood Meeting in May 2017 at City Hall, I asked the applicant directly if they had considered *any* alternative sites or options instead of using this site for a 25 person, Multi-Family shelter forcing a request for zoning changes. Indeed, several options had been suggested to the applicant at the local neighborhood meeting held the previous year. Unfortunately, he said "No. No alternatives were considered." This undermines Redmond's Comprehensive Plan vision and Zoning Code in that the applicant has neither investigated nor considered any other options other than forcing a zoning exception for the project. For the number of years this shelter has been under consideration, the applicant has failed due diligence and good faith attempts to be in line with Redmond's Zoning Codes. 5. The Proposed Use is Not for a Single-Family. The property is appropriately zoned Single-Family, not Multi-Family. The Code defines "family" as "[a]n individual or two or more persons related by blood or marriage; eight or fewer nonrelated persons living together in a single dwelling unit, unless a grant of reasonable accommodation as identified in RZC 21.76, Review Procedures, allows an additional number of persons." RZC 21.78.F Definitions. An occupancy of 25 residents far exceeds the eight-person limit that applies to SingleFamily residences. And the Review Procedures do not allow such a high occupancy in the Single-Family Constrained Residential zone. 6. The Proposed Use Does Not Meet the Requirements for a Conditional Use Permit. Attachment 2.d Specifically, it fails to meet the requirements detailed in Redmond's zoning code, RZC 21.76.070K4: K4.B The conditional use is designed in a manner which is compatible with and responds to the existing or intended character, appearance, quality of development, and physical characteristics of the subject property and immediate vicinity; K4.D The type of use, hours of operation, and appropriateness of the use in relation to adjacent uses minimize unusual hazards or characteristics of the use that would have adverse impacts; There are two main reasons for the failure to meet these requirements: First, as detailed above, this area in Redmond is zoned as Single-Family residences and the subject property is zoned R-3. There are a number of important quality of life and community environments fostered by setting aside such an area. Th applicant intends this center to be a 25- person, Multi-Family residence. The length-of-stay is intended to be shortterm, so a continual turnover of resident is expected. This is contrary to the goals of SingleFamily residential neighborhoods and fails to meet and be compatible with the existing and intended character and quality of development of the immediate vicinity. The center will have clients with no long-term ties to the community. Indeed, the applicant states that its clients may come from areas 3 ---PAGE BREAK--- outside this immediate vicinity. There will be multiple families in a single residence. Clearly, this proposal does not meet the K4.B compatibility restriction of Redmond's Zoning Code. Secondly, security around the immediate vicinity is questionable, and neighborhood security is not promoted by this application. The center's intended population is stated to have various unfortunate, negative associated issues including domestic violence, substance abuse and/or mental illness (by the applicants own admission). There are large green belt areas, grade schools, and parks around the proposed center location that can have both center's clients as well as associates ofthe clients deciding to have unsupervised (from the center's intentions to screen and monitor clients) activities. The applicant states that they will screen and monitor clients, but this does not address off-center property and associates from off-center associates who may seek shelter and/or interaction with their children, wives, or friends within the center. The center fails to meet the K4.D zone regulation. It brings risks and adverse impacts to the neighborhood. We acknowledge the intentions of the applicants but the location currently under review is not appropriate by being a direct violation of the Redmond Zoning Code and fails to meet the requirements specified in the Redmond Zoning Code. We urge the City of Redmond Technical Committee and Examiner to reject the proposal and encourage the applicant to site an area that will meet the goals of their effort while aligning with local zoning codes.

I am surprised to know that a shelter is planning to build in a residential area, and especially it is so close to Inter-lake High School. I saw these kids walking back to home by themselves. I am not sure if would be safe for them anymore when the shelter is built. As an upcoming farther to be, I am object to this project and would like to be a party of record to the Bel-Red Homeless Shelter Proposal (LAND-2016-01 036).

My 3 years old has mental disability and requires *constant" supervision and medical assistant- he gets very scared seeing strange people or someone who starts or picking on him. we were advised by doctors to stay away from crowds. My 14 years old walks every day to the school and passes the proposed shelter i would be *very* concerned for his safety and won't allow him to go by himself. I just do not see how i can manage walking with him having mental disabled child. We are very concerned about the plan to put a shelter in our residential area and categorically object to such plan as a bad fit for our neighborhood. The main reason is safety and cleanness. There is a park where i go for a walk with the dog every evening , if someone misbehaves and will be asked to leave the shelter where would they go? There is not much transportation and only one bus right now -this means people behaving violently will be asked to leave the shelter and wondering where in the part?

Sara Pyle, [EMAIL REDACTED] cc [EMAIL REDACTED] Bel-Red Family Resource Center Dear Sara, 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- I am writing out of concern & opposition regarding the planned Homeless Shelter on the corner of NE 24th and 173rd. Calling it a Resource Center is misleading when plans call for 40 residents to be living in the single-family dwelling. This location is in a family neighborhood, making it an odd choice as it is not in walking distance to homeless services, career center, food banks & child care services. It is my understanding that the shelter applicant owns two buildings near downtown Redmond that are over 50,000 sq ft in space that they could utilize as shelter locations as they are closer to needed services. This is a community with many small children and multiple schools; I daily see elementary age kids playing outside, walking & biking to school alone in the sunrise hours and their protection is a big concern. Data shows that the introduction of homeless shelters increase crime rates in adjacent neighborhoods. I don't want to have to fear for our kid's safety in my neighborhood and parks because of this shelter. If crime and other issues such as addiction, domestic abuse, mental illness, theft, etc follows the women/children to this location, there is no accountability to the Shelter. The shelter will simply turn them out on our neighborhood streets thereby making the neighbors responsible to "police" our community. Please deny this shelter application and consider locations closer to the downtown services that are already in place. This is NOT in the best interest of Redmond's current single-family residents.

We would like to formally oppose the proposal based on the unsuitability of the facility, the negative impact on our neighborhood and the uncertainty around security issues. I would like to share the below list of concerns with you composed by another family in my community whose views and concerns we are completely in agreement with. 1. This is a residential neighborhood and the property in question is a single family home. The size and purpose of the facility does not fit the current structure which is intended to house no more than a small family while the facility is intended for over 40 people including staffers. 2. We are peace loving families with kids and the biggest concern with the facility is that of safety and security of our families, children mainly. Recently there has been an increase in crime rate in the neighborhood. We are concerned that bringing homeless families with no extra law enforcement may lead to an increase in crime. We 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- are concerned that the applicant has not done enough research on probability of increased crime and the city is not taking enough measures to prevent crimes. 3. With the facility also housing young men (age 14-18) and a known co-relation ofhomelessness with alcohol and drug abuse we are concerned that the neighborhood will be subject to drug and alcohol related incidents and crimes. We are unclear what is being done to screen the people using this facility, prevent such incidents and help resolve in case there is an escalation. 4. We are concerned as to why this facility needs to be in a residential neighborhood when there hasn't been an acute rise or a history of homelessness in the area. The applicant is known to have location in downtown Redmond that is a better suited location from point of view of transportation and access to jobs. This calls to question as to why the city is permitting use of a residential property for purpose of housing 40 families when there is a better suited option available? 5. We are also concerned that the inflow of people, parking requirements, and need for outside meeting places with family members not allowed in the shelter will disrupt the peace and environmental balance of this neighborhood. What is the city doing to address these concerns? We do have empathy for the homeless and agree that homelessness is a problem that must be met with action. But we strongly question and oppose a residential area and single family home being utilized to bring in 40 homeless women and children from the entire city. Also our neighborhood in itself does not have this issue. We ask that the City of Redmond and its elected officials support us and our neighbors in this effort and look for a more suitable location to help the homeless on Eastside. Unfortunately we will not be able to make it to the hearing today at 6PM in person but would like to become a party of record.

Tha nk you, Sarah Pyle From: Srikrishna Chavali [mailto:[EMAIL REDACTED]] Sent: Monday, February 05, 2018 11:47 AM To: Sarah Pyle <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Subject: Party of record to the Bel-Red Homeless Shelter Proposal Hi Sarah My name is Srikrishna and I'm the owner and a resident at the Ardmore Village community. Our community is in the close vicinity of the proposed Bel-red Homeless Shelter. We would like to be a party of record to the Bel- Red Homeless Shelter Proposal (LAND-2016-01036) We want to express our strong objection to the proposed Woman and Children's Shelter planned in our neighborhood. We carefully di.d our home search and zeroed in on this location 5 years ago, seeking for a quite and safe neighborhood for our kids, and we love it here. We have a kid aged 3, who often plays around our community, just a few steps away from the church and i'm afraid it wont be the same if this proposal goes through After having carefully read through the complete public comments and the City/ Applicant's responses posted here (http://www.redmond.gov/common/pages/UserFile.aspx?fileld=223743), we found the City's responses to some of the genuine concerns raised by the neighborhood residents are far from satisfactory and reassuring. While most of us appreciate the need for a shelter for the homeless women, we are opposed to this proposal due to the following unheeded concerns: 1. We are concerned that the proposed homeless shelter might increase the criminal activity in the neighborhood. Having read the City/Applicant's responses, we feel disappointed that neither of the parties ruled out such a possibility nor do we see any mitigation plan through additional law enforcement. Most of us in the neighborhood have young kids who now play around freely with out any fear and we are worried it wont be the same anymore, if such assurance is not provided 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2. Drug and alcohol abuse is recognized as commonly being associated with some homelessness situations. Allowing males up to 18 years of age to be legal dependents of the sheltered women, and the fact that the proposed shelter is in the close vicinity of the green belt and vegetation buffer, only increases the likelihood. While we understand that as per the policy guidelines, drug and alcohol abuse are not allowed, the only "policing' is done by the staff/volunteers if they happen to become aware of such activity. There are no drug tests provided to adult guests. This provides little to no confidence that the applicant can prevent drug/alcohol use at the site and the applicant will not go so far as to state that there will be none. The applicant, in fact, has acknowledged that they cannot guarantee this. 3. We are not convinced with the rationale given by the Applicant to choose this location over other locations it owned. The proposed site, owing to its location and lot size cannot reasonably provide shelter to 40+ homeless people under a single roof without adversely affecting the character of the neighborhood. Due to this, we are worried that there will be increased loitering in the surrounding areas. The proposed shelter will clearly be a misfit and it won't be able to blend in to our neighborhood. Due to the aforementioned concerns, we urge the City of Redmond Technical Committee and Examiner to reject the proposal and encourage the applicant to find a different location for their proposed plan, one that will not affect the local residents in the area.

This use is not allowed by law in R-3 & administrative guidance on conditional use cannot be used to overrule this.

Sarah Pvle From: Linda Nguyen [mailto:[EMAIL REDACTED]] Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2018 5:33 PM To: Sarah Pyle <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Subject: Please amend my response to the homeless shelter. Please amend my previous my response for the Feb 5th meeting. Thank you We do not agree with the location of this homeless shelter nor with the applicants responses to resident concerns. Many of the items the applicant responded with are incorrect and incomplete. The applicants claim that there is adequate bus service to the area. Even though there is bus service 249, 888 and 895, only bus route 249 is operational all day and only once every 30 mins. The other 2 lines are mainly for students to go to school in the surrounding community for one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. At best the area is serviced by 2 lines; 249 and 261 (which is half a mile away). This low public transpiration access area may make it hard for families to manage irregular or unexpected activities like work or unexpected family needs. In the traffic portion of the application (question 15); using previous data, the applicant has concluded that at most there will be an addition of 10 cars (5-8 guest) with a max occupancy of 40 people to the facility and the area. However, how did the other residents get to these shelter facilities? Is there better bus service that provided better transportation options to these other shelters used in the comparison? This is not the case here (see above comment) and will obviously cause increase in traffic to the neighborhood. Another point is using he Belltown as a comparison of the shelter's impact on the area as minimal. As it is stated in the application, Belltown is a high risk area so therefore 20 emergency calls (15 of them medical; 5 not) is not a big impact in that particular area. However a shelter placement with 20 emergency calls in a low risk area (such as here) will have a larger impact on the community. The analogy of a shelter's impact on a high-risk area to a low-risk area is not valid. With that all said, I do think a women's and family shelter is a need that the city should address. However it should not be here. It doesn't not help anyone if no one can get access to services nor is it in line with the community. It may behoove the city and the applicant to try to incorporate this into new development to more central locations like Redmond TC so that better support can be given to women and children in need.

Pyle, I am writing to you regarding the homeless shelter plan by Creekside Covenant Church. I am very concerned about a homeless shelter being opened in this neighborhood for various reasons. Every morning, my daughter walks to the bus stop right next to the church and I am very concerned about her safety once this shelter has been opened. I am concerned that 40 people will be crammed into a small property. Homeless population has higher rate of substance abuse issues. Shelter will have young men with substance abuse issues which is a huge security concern. As you know, any shelter is a temporary boarding and many of these people will be asked to leave the shelter in a short time after which they may end up hanging around in the neighborhood parks. 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- I strongly object to this shelter and hope that better sense will prevail and City of Redmond will not approve this project! best regards Abdul Qahir Khwaja On behalf of family of 5 people in Creekside Church Neighborhood.

I would like to be a party of record to the Bel- Red Homeless Shelter Proposal (LAND-2016-01036). I live in the neighborhood, where I own a house and pay taxes. I'm very concerned about my own safety and for the safety of the neighborhood and numerous children often playing in the area. I think this project is not a good fit for our neighborhood and I don't understand why the local church, instead of working with the community to improve everyone lives, is working against the best interest and safety of this community. As we all know, this shelter will not solve the homeless problems and it will only jeopardize the safety and livability of the area, it will cause home values to decline, and disrupt the sense of community of the neighborhood.

My family and I enjoy so much about our city but are disappointed at the fears others are expressing regarding the Conditional Use Permit being requested by Creekside Covenant and the Evangelical Chinese Church. I have served as a volunteer life coach and mentor for homeless men through Congregations for the Homeless (CFH), based in Bellevue. I now serve as a director on the board of CFH. The City of Redmond should approve this permit. In working with the homeless I've come to realize that there are many reasons for homelessness. None of the men in the programs I've participated in wanted to be homeless. Faith-based organizations need to have the ability to help these citizens in the facilities that they control. Fear-mongering, absolutism and NIMBYism are not helpful in meeting the needs of the homeless and helping these citizens find the stability- with shelter- that is so key to lifting folks from homelessness. 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- I support the approval of the conditional use permit for file number: LAND-2016-01 036 Sincerely, Jim Long 7522 145th Ave NE Redmond, WA 98052 Click here to report this email as spam. 2 ---PAGE BREAK--- Gloria Meerscheidt From: Sent: To: Subject: Hi Paty, Sarah Pyle Monday, February 05, 2018 12:07 PM 'Paty Carlos Padilla' RE: Technical Committee Recommendation The technical recommendation is included in the link below under hearing Documents. • Project documents and information: http:/ /WW\fii.redrnond .gov/cms/One.asmc?oortal ld=1692o.pageld=?22796 Thank you and please feel free to contact me with any additional questions.

The mailed notice timeline starts when they are mailed not when they are received. All post ings meet adopted Redmond Zoning Code requirements and Washington State noticing requirements.

ECC is the abbreviation that has been used and included in notices and documents since 2016 for Evangelical Chinese Church (ECC), whom is one of the primary applicants in conjunction with Creekside Covenant. The notice in the flyer box and the one that was mailed, as well as, the documents that have been posted online (since September), provided via postal mail and the staff reports with attachments (which were have been available to the public for the past month) have all included who the applicants are and their roles on the application. Only one applicant is required, but staff has ensured the applicant team include all co-applicants within their application documents. Your concerns and comments regarding the notice will be provided to the hearing Examiner to enter into her record as an exhibit and include as part of her review.

At that time and following some expressed confusion with the change and requested that, the previous name be continued to be included on the documents mailed out/ flyers and the City wanted to accommodate this request. This was also done in the August meeting notice, we apologize if it has caused any confusion, we want to accommodate as many of the request about information delivery as possible. The webpage/ website has been kept updated and includes the review materials and the applicant's updated application forms, hearing draft reports and all attachments. I also have looked at the code for the white board sign and it appears that the applicant has installed the sign and information as shown in the code sample and per the code requirements, that said I have just finished making two laminated signs with project description that I will have the applicant come by and affix to the whiteboard today.

Sarah Pyle From: Kevin Damour [mailto:[EMAIL REDACTED]] Sent: Monday, January 15, 2018 11:57 PM To: Sarah Pyle <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Subject: LAND-2016-01036 project Hello Sarah, Happy New Year -wishing you all the best in the new year! I have a couple of issues that I was hoping you could help out with related to LAND-2016-01036 permit application. A neighbor mentioned to me that a new large white sign went up outside where the proposed shelter is located as per requirements for permits. I have attached a picture of the sign and a copy of the flyer that is contained in the posted sign. My issue is with the Proposal Name listed as "BELRED FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER". There is no mention on the white sign that this is a homeless shelter or Women and Children Shelter/Home. The intent of the large white notice sign is to inform the public so that people will be informed of actions around their neighborhood. By using only the name Family Resource Center, this is very misleading and does not convey the true intent of the proposed request for permit. Resource Center could be sometime as simple as an office for referrals and the term alone completely hides the true nature of a 24/7 homeless shelter. The flyer does have additional details on the project, but the project name on the flyer does not match the project name on the large white sign. The flyer contains "ECC Shelter" in the project name. This is another project name and which confuses people trying to understand what is going on. The fact that this is a proposed shelter should be clearly displayed on the large white sign- without that information, the large white sign is hiding what the true intent of the public hearing for the permit. Additionally, the flyer clearly states an "Application and Completeness Date: June 7, 2017"- the project at that time (June) was called in emails and documents from the city as "Application LAND-2016-01036 ECC Women and Children Shelter" (or sometimes House) If they application refers to June 2017 as the application date, this again is confusing with project name changes. The sign should use the name that was used in June 2017 (and maybe list both names to make this very clear). On Sunday, I noticed a person walking their dog past the sign. He stopped to read the sign and then kept going. From this large white sign, the person would have no clue as to true intent of the permit request which is to establish a homeless shelter for up to 40 persons (in our single family residence neighborhood). If the intent of Public Hearings is to inform residents, the large white sign should properly state the name from the June application and city emails/documents as a shelter and not hide the true intent of the application. 4 ---PAGE BREAK--- My second issue is with notification that is required for Public Hearing to the residents around the proposed site or Party of Record. I have not received any mail regarding the Public hearing as of Jan 15, 2017. My neighbors also mentioned that they have not received notification either.

This has been communicated in responses issued to the public in September, shown within the application documents that have been posted online and made available to the residents, shared and discussed at both neighborhood meetings held at City Hall and they are a signed applicant on the formal application form . The application and project proposal has been submitted by co-applicants. This is not an infrequent occurrence for projects that are submitted, applicants are allowed to have multiple co-applicants, the City does not have the authority to prohibit this. Additionally, the City has taken as many measures as possible to provide detailed feedback and responses, provide all application documents online, via mail or in-person during on-one -one meetings to all those interested in the application. As part of that, staff has communicated in multiple formats and at on many occasion whom all the formal applicants are. Because the large notice board is formatted as it is, the flyer box allows the City to ensure that expanded project information and hearing information can be provided for those wanting more information. I have included below thinks to all information that has been made available, this information shares whom the applicants are and includes the signed formal application .

The full name of the applicant (not an abbreviation) ought to show on the public posted Notice of Proposed Land Use. The last I checked (Nov. 2017), Creekside did not own the land and therefore cannot apply for a permit to use land which does not belong to them. The applicant is not Creekside. To claim Creekside Covenant Church as an applicant is misleading, confusing, etc., disingenuous and faulty.

The large Proposed Land Use Notice does not contain complete and truthful information. The name of the project, the purpose of the proposed use, the full complete and entire name of the applicant are either in error or incomplete. What, exactly is ECC?

Sarah Pyle -----Original Message----- From: Linda Nguyen [mailto:[EMAIL REDACTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2018 10:08 PM To: Sarah Pyle <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Subject: Bel-Red Family Resource Center Hi Sarah, Please include my comments for the Feb 5th meeting since I have work and won't be able to attend. Thank you In response to the applicants claim that there is adequate bus service to the area. Even though there is bus service 249, 888 and 895, only bus route 249 is operational all day and only once every 30 mins. The other 2 lines are mainly for students to go to school in the surrounding community for one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. At best the area is serviced by 2 lines; 249 and 261 (which is half a mile away). This low public transpiration access area may make it hard for families to manage irregular or unexpected activities like work or unexpected family needs. In the traffic portion ofthe application (question 15); using previous data, the applicant has concluded that at most there will be an addition of 10 cars (5-8 guest) with a max occupancy of 40 people to the facility and the area. However, how did the other residents get to these shelter facilities? Is there better bus service that provided better transportation options to these other shelters used in the comparison? This is not the case here (see above comment) and will obviously cause increase in traffic to the neighborhood. Another point is using he Belltown as a comparison of the shelter's impact on the area as minimal. As it is stated in the application, Belltown is a high risk area so therefore 20 emergency calls (15 of them medical; 5 not) is not a big impact in that particular area. However a shelter placement with 20 emergency calls in a low risk area (such as here) will have a larger impact on the community. The analogy of a shelter's impact on a high-risk area to a low-risk area is not valid. With that all said, I do think a women's and family shelter is a need that the city should address. It may behoove the city and the applicant to reduce the max down to 20-25 so that they are not overextending themselves or the community. I 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- hope the city uses this time of development to incorporate this type of facility into more central locations like Redmond TC or Overlake TC so that better support can be given to women and children in need.

It states rules for the residents and it is clear about the fact the individual could be removed from the shelter if they violate the code of conduct. However, I'm interested in what happens to the shelter itself if its guests violate the rules. Is there any process to review the shelter if their guests have violated rules? If so, what is the process and who is the judge to determine if the shelter is a nuisance to the neighborhood. Can their permit be revoked for bad behavior?

At that time and following some expressed confusion with the change and requested that, the previous name be continued to be included on the documents mailed out/ flyers and the City wanted to accommodate this request. This was also done in the August meeting notice, we apologize if it has caused any confusion, we want to accommodate as many of the request about information delivery as possible.

But, the references to Bel red Family Resource Center in the public meetings was wrt Creekside and all references to this property were ECC Shelter. And, the Bel red Family Resource Center has existed for over a year next door at the church. I've copied a tweet from UGM below from April 2017 referring to it as "Bel Red Family Resource Center" . This is not the shelter they are referring to as I've previously pointed out. Regardless, the description that you adding to the public notice should suffice as long as it is accurate in describing that this is planned to become a homeless shelter with 40+ residents.

The project name was updated more than 6 months ago to Bel-Red Family Resource Center, as this will be the name of the facility should it be approved. In no way is the use being redefined or re-reviewed or processed differently than it has been. It is extremely common for all project types for the project name to get updated during the process as applicants are finalizing internal elements of the proposal. I have included a snippet below of a notice that went out in August showing the name to be updated, this was echoed in the re-issuance of the Notice of Application and staff went ahead and included the previous project name even also in the mailed hearing notice(that is also available in the flyer box on the white sign boards) per the request of residents. Staff has done the best to accommodate as much of the communication delivery requests as possible while also needing to ensure consistency of the defined code processes. I will e-mail you this afternoon once the project description information has been added to the board. I spoke with management and we are able to include this additional information on the sign. Thank you for sharing this request and your concerns. I also wanted to share in closing, that the all residents if interested, are encouraged to speak at the hearing and give testimony. Each person will have 4 mins to speak and may e-mail additional testimony prior to 5 PM 2/5/2018 or provide it in-person at the conclusion of verbal testimony shared at the hearing. The Hearing Examiner has been provided with all e-mailed comments, mailed comments and comments from neighborhood meetings, but you are welcome to provide additional testimony if you would like. Thank you, Sarah Pyle From: Tim Alexander [mailto:[EMAIL REDACTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2018 10:26 AM To: Sarah Pyle <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Cc: Steve Fischer <[EMAIL REDACTED]>; 'Jill Alexander' <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Subject: RE: PLUA Sign is Misleading Residents Sarah, I appreciate that everything may have been done to "spec" or within "code requirements", but you have to think about this as a human being. They are purposefully misleading the public because they know the response they would get if they used the words "homeless shelter". At no time during the two public meetings was this location referred to as a "Resource Center". However, during both meetings and as established at the last year, the "Resource Center" resides in Creekside Church. We discussed this over and over. No one has utilized the "Resource Center" which is why they want to build a shelter so that they can bring homeless people to the area to utilize the services. Per their own words, they will "shelter" at the home and they will attend the "resource center" (next door at the church) during the day. 3 ---PAGE BREAK--- I' m simply asking you to hold them to the same standard they have put forth themselves. The large sign that people read while t hey are driving by should reflect the TRUTH. It IS causing confusion. People think that it is going to be a place where people can go for information not a shelter in a residential area housing 40+ people. Throughout this process, the applicant has been misleading with the public. They have answered questions in the public forum falsely on multiple occasions. This should in itself be grounds for rejection. But no one seems to be concerned about this other than me and my neighbors. Thank you for the informat ion on what to do if there is misconduct below. Can you send me a link to the "Community Agreement" that you have referred to previously?

After reviewing again the zoning code regulations for the white board sign, it appears that the applicant has installed the sign and information as shown in the code sample and per the code requirements, that said I have just finished making two laminated signs with project description that I will have the applicant come by and affix to the whiteboard today. They should be up by SPM. The flyer has the name that ECC updated their project with approx 6 months ago. The updated project nam e 'vvas shared at the at the second neighborhood meeting. At that time and following some expressed confusion with the change and requested that, the previous name be continued to be included on the documents mailed out/ flyers and the City wanted to accommodate this request. This was also done in the August meeting notice, we apologize if it has caused any confusion, we want to accommodate as many of the request about information delivery as possible. The webpage/ website has been kept updated and includes the review materials and the applicant's updated application forms, hearing draft reports and all attachments including the code of conduct: htto: I lwww. redmond .gov I ems/ One .aspx ?porta II d=169&pageld=222398 .

As shared previously in the written responses that have been posted online, should the project be approved, any violations of the entitlements/ approvals including conditions and adopted applicable code wou ld be processed through code enforcement actions and per the Redmond Zoning Code can result in revocation of the permit/entitlement/ 4 ---PAGE BREAK--- approvals (RZC 21.76.090 Condition Use Permits must abide strictly by the conditions placed within any approvals gained.

Right now, it states the proposed name as "Belred Family Resource Center". However, the Belred Family Resource Center already exists and is located next door at the church. The purpose ofthis land use is for a "homeless shelter" not a resource center. Either the applicant or the city is misleading the residents in our area and I request clarification. We put up a sign in our yard that indicates that this is going to be a "homeless shelter", and (within hours) we had neighbors stopping by our house to understand why the sing is misleading the community. Also, can you please provide the following? • Community Agreement I Code of Conduct (link?) • What is the process for reporting misconduct? • What are the consequences of misconduct?

I would like to see the "smoking area" moved to the front corner of the lot adjacent to Creekside Church rather than the back. I understand that if there is cigarette smoke coming into our area, that would be a dispute I take up with the owner of the property, correct? Or, is this going to be added to the community agreement? The fence as shown in the diagram online is planned to run right down our property line and extend to within 9' of the street. Aren't there restrictions that prevent a fence from being placed in an area that blocks our view? Can't they pull the fence back some and put up trees to create more privacy?

Please see below. 10 ---PAGE BREAK--- Where will smoking take place? will clients be allowed to smoke any place but the designated area in the backyard?, will the smoking policy be noted within the community agreement? Smoking will only take place in the designated smoking area in the back corner of the property, along the property line with Creekside Covenant Church. Shelter residents will not be permitted to be out in front of the shelter smoking. We will have this policy in our community agreement. Will drug test be part of the screening for adults? BelRed Family Resource Center will maintain a safe and sober living environment that will be based on shelter resident's behaviors. A drug test will not be a part of the screening process, however a clear explanation of the community agreement, first over the phone and also in person will include the following: there will be zero tolerance for drugs or alcohol on property or residents coming in under the influence.

About 5:45PM 2) What will be the process for potential overflow number of people? In other words, many church congregants or SUGM supporters may flood the place.

As long as the number of persons meet the building occupancy of the room they will be welcome all on a first come first serve basis for seating and standing. If persons show up after the start and there is no room left but they wish to speak and give testimony we will ensure they get called in from the lobby. At this time we do not anticipate being over capacity. 3) How late into the evening might this continue? (Best guess?) I am not able to provide an estimate on this. Staff's presentation will be approx one hour and I anticipate 30 mins or so for additional comments from the applicant and hearing exam iner to ask questions presentation questions. The remaining duration will be determined by number of persons giving testimony and fol low-up questions from the Hearing Examiner. 4) Will early-arriving persons be allowed to 'save' a seat for a later-arriving person? Saving a seat for a single person shou ld not be an issue, saving seats for multiple persons would not be fitting to the first come first serve seating availability and room occupancy. I do not think there will be an issue if you save a seat for a single person though . 5) What will be the procedure to determine who testifies?

It will be included in the exhibits and entered into the record for the hearing examiners review. The project name was updated by the applicant team in July of 2017, prior to the second neighborhood meeting and second Notice of Application. This is commonly done by applicants as they determine the final name of their projects, developments, business or facilities they are proposing. All documents at the request of the residents that were mailed out included both the previous title (ECC Shelter ) and the updated project name that has been in place the last eight months. The Notice of hearing board includes all information as required by the Redmond Zoning Code and State of Washington. To provide additional communication accommodations to the public the staff directed the applicant to add additional information to the board the day after it was posted. The mailed notices and handouts include both version of the project names and the documents that have been posted on the website for the public have been available for the past 1 0+ months to all persons interested in information on the project, applicants and operations proposal. The stay is currently planned for between30-90 days. No persons in active DV situations will be able to participate in the facility's services. The entire perimeter yard except where the site gains access to the home will be fenced and certain areas will also be screened with additional vegetation. For more detailed information on the project and responses to questions asked by the public please see documents posted in the link below. http://www. redmond .gov/cms/One.aspx?portall d= 169&pageld=222796 I hope the above helped provide clarifications to your questions. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Sarah Pyle From: Sheila Sloan-Evans [mailto:[EMAIL REDACTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2018 6:40PM To: Sarah Pyle <[EMAIL REDACTED]> Subject: Bel-Red Family Resource Center and Shelter Dear Sarah, 1 ---PAGE BREAK--- I am a very close neighbor of the proposed center and 100% support it! I know there is a lot of upset and anger in the neighborhood over the project, but I am fully supportive of this use of the property. I live within 500 ft so have received all notices and mailings. I do understand that people feel the title of the city application is deceptive, and some people have been placing signs on the site to indicate it is a shelter and not only a "resource center." I will be at the public hearing 2/5/18 to voice my support, but do hope the concerns of neighbors will be adequately addressed: ages of children--lots of fear about 14-18 yr old boys; what 40 people total would mean in individual family makeup; the belief that no background checks will be done for shelter residents. I managed a similar program for the YWCA in Indiana in the late 80s. We had a rocky start in the neighborhood but the mayor of the city lived across the alley and really advocated for it. I also have worked many years in social/community service agencies locally, including Hopelink. So community commitment to success is critical. I did want to know the following: what is the maximum stay for families and how are potential DV situations addressed? Also, will the area be well fenced for a play area? Traffic on NE 24th is fast and heavy during peak times. I will include my address here so these comments can be entered into public record if needed.
