Good Morning Mayor Stone and fellow council members,

Please see attached letter addressing concerns I have about the proposed ordinance language modifying PAMC 18.52.040 Off-Street Parking and the potential impact this will have on the production of housing within ½ mile of public transit.

Further consideration of the appropriate policy direction needs to be evaluated by the city’s consultants and the Housing Advisory Committee.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,

Ken
