The motion died for lack of a second. Mayor Franklin and Council members thanked the public for testifying. Considerable discussion ensued regarding the need for housing, development standards, zoning, striving for transparency in the development process, striving for a welcoming community, and supporting children and the neighborhood. Council Member Murphy expressed the importance for City Council to look out for the neighborhoods, and did not agree with the Council being portrayed as not caring about homeless families, He encouraged continued work on supportive housing projects and suggested City staff inquire about the former Kmart on Evergreen Way as a possible location. Moved by Council Member Roberts, seconded by Council Member Stonecipher, to advise staff to construct an ordinance based on Option 3, which would keep the current code allowing supportive housing in single family zones, but modify development standards to be consistent with single-family housing.
