D. 2012 CDBG Application Resolution
Mr. Williams explained that Council must pass a resolution in support of a CDBG application for
the upcoming grant cycle. The projects being requested this year are siding replacement on the
Puget Sound face of the Senior Center, renewing the upstairs restrooms, and for floor repair
work to the interior in the lobby and library. The total value of the request being made for
CDBG funding is $161,248. In order to maintain eligibility for this application, Snohomish County
must receive a fully signed copy of this resolution no later than January 15, 2012.
ACTION: Moved to consent agenda for approval.
E. Discussion regarding draft revisions to the outdoor dining regulations of ECDC 17.75 and
addition of a definition of outdoor dining to ECDC 21.75. (File No. AMD20110005)
Ms. Machuga explained that the current outdoor dining regulations are cost prohibitive to small
businesses because a conditional use permit, which costs approximately $1,500, is required for
outdoor dining areas that have seating exceeding 10% of the interior seating or 8 seats,
whichever is greater. The draft revised code language as recommended by the Planning Board
includes provisions to allow outdoor dining areas outright if the site is not directly adjacent to a
residentially -zoned property and/or if the outdoor dining area meets certain screening
requirements. Additionally, the draft revised code language includes restrictions on hours of
operation of the outdoor dining area for sites directly adjacent to residentially -zoned property.
ACTION: Forward to full Council for a public hearing with no recommendation.
