· Summary of the Legislation:

This ordinance amends the 1998 Agreement between the City of Seattle and the University of Washington (UW), a Growth Management Act regulation. The amended agreement includes provisions that: remove general restrictions on the amount and location of property that may be leased by the UW; establish a goal that 75% of UW leased space occur in the Univ. Dist. NW Urban Center Village; prohibit UW leasing at ground level in pedestrian overlay zones; review UW leasing activity after five years; provide semi-annual reports regarding housing goals; prohibit leasing of the Batelle property by the UW; update references to City departments; and change the process by which amendments may be considered.

· Background: (Include brief description of the purpose and context of legislation and include record of previous legislation and funding history, if applicable):

On June 16, 2003 on June 16, 2003 the Seattle City Council adopted Ordinance 121193 to repeal restrictions on the University of Washington’s ability to lease certain property in the City of Seattle. The adoption of Ordinance 121193 was appealed to the Central Washington Growth Management Hearings Board (“Board”) in Case No. 03-3-0016. On March 3, 2004 the Board issued an order directing the City of Seattle to provide additional public process regarding the City’s proposal to repeal restrictions on the University of Washington. The City provided additional public process as described in Attachment 2 to this Ordinance; and believes that amendment of the 1998 Agreement Between the City of Seattle and the University of Washington will protect and promote the health, safety and welfare of the general public.
