Grant request is $500,000 for improvements including a splash pad at Haller Park, with matching funds from Friends of Haller Park, Arlington Rotary, and the Stillaguamish Tribe. Discussion followed with Sarah answering council questions. Ordinance Revision Request for Beer Garden in Haller Park Sarah Lopez requested a change to the Arlington Municipal Code regarding Beer and Wine Gardens. Arlington Runners Club is requesting a change to Arlington Municipal Code §22.04.200 regarding alcoholic beverages prohibited in parks except in conjunction with special events. The current law allows for beer and wine tasting at Legion Park, when sponsored by non-profits, between the hours of noon and 10 p.m. The requested change would allow beer and wine gardens at Haller Park in addition to Legion Park. The proposed change to the Arlington Municipal Code was reviewed by the Parks, Arts, and Recreation Commission at their meeting in April. PARC recommended the change. Discussion followed with Sarah answering council questions. Public Art Request for Approval Sarah Lopez requested approval for the acceptance of three pieces of public art that have been recommended for acceptance by the Arlington Arts Council Public Art Committee and the Parks, Arts, and Recreation Commission (PARC). The first piece is a mosaic sphere for the Centennial Trail to celebrate Arlington’s Immaculate Conception Catholic Church’s Centennial. It has been agreed that if accepted, the Church will maintain responsibility for the sculpture if it is vandalized or needed repair. The appropriate location for the sculpture will be determined by City staff. The second piece is a mural on a pillar of the Haller Bridge of a whimsical bicycle, by Janet Myer. The work will be done by the Arlington Arts Council. Snohomish County Parks staff has approved the project (the bridge is property of Snohomish County). The third piece is for the purchase and donation by the Arlington Arts Council of a gong/bell for the Centennial Trail near Lebanon Park. The Public Art Committee reviewed and approved the concept of a gong, so that approval could be asked of the City before final selection of a gong is made. AAC has put out a call for art and final selection will be made by the Arlington Arts Council public art Committee. Safety, vandal resistance, maintenance and sound will be deciding factors. Discussion followed with Sarah answering Council questions. At this time, Mayor Tolbert recused herself from the meeting and turned the meeting over to Mayor Pro Tem Debora Nelson. Mutual Benefit Agreement Ordinance Dave Ryan, Airport Director, requested council review a proposed mutual benefit agreement ordinance which would allow the Airport staff to waive event use fees. The Airport staff would like for all events, including the Fly-In, to follow the same process as all other events in the City, and to utilize the Special Events process spelled out in AMC Chapter 5.44. Staff believes this event provides sufficient benefit to the airport to justify waiving the land use fees for the event. The Fly-In event creates a substantial amount of Minutes of the City of Arlington City Council Workshop May 9, 2016 Page 3 of 3 revenue for the City. Most other Fly-In events at other airports do not charge for the use of the property. In order to waive the fees under state law, the City must have in effect an ordinance or other process to demonstrate sufficient benefit to waive the fees. The ordinance follows the requirements of state law and the Arlington Municipal Code §14.20.120(8)-(9) in setting up such a process. This process also mirrors policies for Providing Property for Public Community Purposes section of the FAA’s Policies and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue document. Discussion followed with Dave answering council questions. Miscellaneous Council Items None Public Comment Bob Nelson, chair of the Arlington Kiwanis Auction Committee, fully supports the code revision to allow beer and wine gardens at Haller Park and requested that council approve the revision at the next meeting. Executive Session None The meeting was adjourned at 8:44 p.m. ____________________________ Barbara Tolbert, Mayor City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill Item: CA #3 Attachment E COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 16, 2016 SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing application for Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) Grant for Haller Park Splash Pad and Improvements ATTACHMENTS: Resolution DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN Recreation EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: None BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A LEGAL REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: Staff is requesting authorization to submit application for grant funding assistance for Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program (WWRP) project to the Recreation and Conservation Funding Board.

Peiffle, City Attorney City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill Item: CA #4 Attachment F COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 16, 2016 SUBJECT: Ordinance adopting revisions to the City’s park regulations to permit limited consumption of beer and wine in certain city parks (Arlington Municipal Code §22.04.200) ATTACHMENTS: Letter from Arlington Runners Club Draft ordinance amending Arlington Municipal Code §22.04.200 DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN Recreation EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: None BUDGET CATEGORY: N/A LEGAL REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: Arlington Runners Club is requesting a change in Arlington Municipal Code §22.04.200 regarding alcoholic beverages prohibited in parks except in conjunction with special events. The current municipal code allows for beer and wine tasting at Legion Park, sponsored by non-profits between the hours of noon and 10pm. Requesting change to allow for beer and wine gardens at Haller Park in addition to Legion Park. HISTORY: Dr. Devin Brossard and Lyanne Rolf, representing Arlington Runners Club, presented their proposal to have a beer and wine garden at Haller Park on July 3 and July 4 to the Park, Arts, and Recreation Commission on April 26, 2016. The idea was spurred from a need to draw more attendees to Haller Park during July 4th after receiving news that Fire District 21 will not be holding the annual pancake breakfast. The Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon, Duck Dash, and Kiwanis Auction depend on a large number of attendees to be successful. Lyanne Rolf discussed the layout and format of the proposed beer and wine garden event and her experience with other similar events. PARC recommended that the ordinance be changed to allow for beer and wine gardens at Haller Park with a 3-1 vote. The original ordinance was adopted on July 7, 2014. ALTERNATIVES Deny change to current municipal code. RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to approve the proposed ordinance adopting revisions to the City’s park regulations to permit limited consumption of beer and wine in certain city parks. 4/13/2016 RE: 4th of July Dear Arlington City Council: The 4th of July festivities in Arlington are a yearly tradition for many local families. Great events and activities bring people together in Arlington on this holiday. Those include, but not limited to: the Pedal Paddle Puff Triathlon, the Duck Dash, the Kiwanis Auction, the Downtown Parade, the Firefighter’s Pancake Feed, and fireworks. This is an interesting year with possible changes to the festivities. To my knowledge, the status of the pancake feed is uncertain. Which is unfortunate, because it usually attracts a lot of people to Haller Park in the morning before the race and Kiwanis auction. Even with the uncertainty of that draw, there is a new boat ramp, and big plans moving forward with the future Splash Park pending fund raising efforts. In my mind, this year could be a year to show off the park and build excitement for the current construction projects and future development. I am the President of the Arlington Runners Club, which is hosting the Pedal Paddle Puff. After many discussions with community members and fellow runners, the idea of providing a beer garden following the triathlon, has drawn a lot of excitement. I would like to request the opportunity to provide this service following the race at Haller Park. I understand that the current ordinances do not allow for a beer garden at Haller Park. I know that anytime alcohol is involved, there are many concerns. I would like to propose several benefits to making this exception, as well as ways to minimize the risk of unfavorable behavior. Safety would be the top priority: the beer garden would limit the number of tokens available for purchase to reduce the risk of over consumption, local law enforcement would be present to maintain safety, and the area would follow all required fencing and boundaries to eliminate the risk of underage individuals entering. Aside from creating a festival atmosphere in the park, all of the money raised by the beer garden will be donated to the Splash Park fund. If no one will step in to provide the pancake feed we will partner with other local organizations to provide food trucks for the fourth of July. By having a beer garden, we could draw people to the park, provide food and entertainment, raise money for the Splash Park, and create another fun tradition. Thank you for your consideration.

State law (see RCW 36.70A.130) allows for jurisdictions to make amendments to comprehensive plans once annually. The City has established a docketing process (see AMC §20.96.022) in order to identify and review all potential amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan for a given year to ensure all proposed amendments are considered together. As part of the docketing process, private citizens have the opportunity to submit applications to amend the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The deadline to apply for annual amendments is January 31st of each year. The City can also propose amendments to the comprehensive plan. Once the deadline passes, staff compiles a list of all proposed amendments on a preliminary docket. This docket is then reviewed by staff to determine if each amendment complies with the criteria listed in Chapter 20.96 of the City’s Land Use Code. Once approved by the Director, the public has an opportunity to comment on proposed amendments listed on the preliminary docket. Comments are compiled, if any, and are then presented to the Planning Commission for consideration at a public hearing. The Planning Commission then makes a recommendation to the City Council on whether or not the proposed amendments shall be on the Final 2016 Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket. The City Council reviews and has the option to keep and/or remove any proposed amendments on the docket. The Council then adopts the final docket in which staff processes over the course of the year. Community & Economic Development PLANNING & LAND USE DIVISION City of Arlington 2016 Preliminary Docket Memo Page 2 of 3 BACKGROUND Privately Initiated Proposals. None received City Initiated Proposals. The City is proposing two amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Plan: a) The first proposed amendment involves creating a new overlay chapter to allow a Horizontal Mixed Use Development. Currently, our Land Use Code only allows the Vertical Mixed Use Development concept, whereas, the Retail development must be located on the first floor and the Residential Development is allowed on the upper floors. Although this concept (model) works well in the OTBD Zones (Urban Dense Areas) it is not a model currently favored or used in other areas of the city. The Horizontal Mixed Use Development concept allows for a mix of diversified, high-density residential to co-exist with the typical retail and support services, creating an urban village feel. Several lots within the city have been analyzed using this concept and the development is contingent upon utilizing this concept. The overlay would be applied, as a design option, within our commercial zones, HC, GC, and NC, where the concept would be most beneficial by allowing its highest and best use potential. The proposed preliminary docket request is consistent with the amendment process and our Comprehensive Plan Policies; PL-7.2, PL-7.3, PO-6.1, PO-6.2, GH-2, PH-4.1, and PH-8.3. b) The second proposed amendment involves a potential amendment to our Water Service portion of the Comprehensive Plan and is placed on the internal docket as a placeholder. The specific amendments would involve Chapter 9 – Water System Improvements and Chapter 10 – Financial Plan. ANALYSIS Arlington Municipal Code Chapter 20.96 (Amendments) outlines the process for amending the City’s Comprehensive Plan on an annual basis. Specifically, AMC 20.96.022 (Docketing procedures- comprehensive plan amendments) requires that: (a) The city shall compile and maintain a list, known as a "docket," of all city-initiated and privately-initiated proposed comprehensive plan amendments. The list shall be organized as to amendment type and include a description of the amendment in nontechnical terms, as well as the name of the applicant and date of submission to the city. The preliminary docket shall be made available to the public for review and comment for at least fifteen days prior to consideration by the planning commission. Written comments that are submitted by the end of the comment period shall be added to the preliminary docket. The final docket will be determined as described in AMC 20.96. (b) Preliminary Review—Determination of Final Docket. (1) Staff Evaluation. The community development director shall conduct a brief initial evaluation of all privately-initiated proposed comprehensive plan amendments to ascertain whether the proposals meet the preliminary review criteria in AMC 20.96 and to assess the extent of review that would be required under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The director shall make a recommendation to the planning commission as to City of Arlington 2016 Preliminary Docket Memo Page 3 of 3 which proposed amendments should be included in the final docket, along with any city- initiated proposed amendments. (2) Joint Workshop. During each annual amendment cycle, the city council and planning commission may, at the city council's discretion, hold a noticed joint workshop to serve as an informational meeting between the two governmental bodies. (3) Planning Commission Hearing. The planning commission shall hold a noticed hearing on selection of proposed amendments for the final docket. (4) City Council Decision. The city council shall consider the planning commission's recommended final docket. Council may adopt the proposed final docket without a public hearing; however, in the event that a majority of the council decides to add or subtract amendments, it shall first hold a public hearing. No additional amendments may be considered after council adoption of the docket for that year, except as provided in AMC 20.96.010(e). The final docket shall be approved by resolution. For items to be placed on the FINAL docket, they must meet the criteria outlined in AMC 20.96.024 (Selection and Decision Criteria-Comprehensive Plan Amendments): (a) Proposed amendments that meet one of the following criteria may be included in the final docket: (1) If the proposed amendment is site specific, the subject property is suitable for development in general conformance with adjacent land use and the surrounding development pattern, and with zoning standards under the potential zoning classifications. (2) State law requires a decision of a court or administrative agency has directed such a change. (3) There exists an obvious technical error in the pertinent comprehensive plan provision. (b) Proposed amendments that do not meet one of the criteria in subsection (1) of this section shall meet all of the following criteria: (1) The amendment represents a matter appropriately addressed through the comprehensive plan, and the proposed amendment demonstrates a public benefit and enhances the public health, safety and welfare of the city. (2) The amendment does not raise policy or land use issues that are more appropriately addressed by an ongoing work program approved by the city council. (3) The proposed amendment addresses significantly changed conditions since the last time the pertinent comprehensive plan map or text was amended. "Significantly changed conditions" are those resulting from unanticipated consequences of an adopted policy, or changed conditions on the subject property or its surrounding area, or changes related to the pertinent comprehensive plan map or text, where such change has implications of a magnitude that need to be addressed for the comprehensive plan to function as an integrated whole. (4) The proposed amendment is consistent with the comprehensive plan and other goals and policies of the city, the countywide planning policies, the Growth Management Act, other state or federal law, and the Washington Administrative Code and other applicable law.

None Received CITY INITIATED PROPOSALS 1. Type: Horizontal Mixed Use Overlay Zoning (Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map Amendment) Applicant: City of Arlington File №: PLN#202 Description: The City wishes to allow the Horizontal Mixed Use Development concept, in addition to the currently permitted Vertical Mixed Use concept. The Horizontal Mixed Use Concept will allow for a mix of diversified, high-density residential to co-exist with the typical retail and support services, creating an Urban Village feel. Several commercially zoned areas within the city were analyzed using this concept of mixed use development and found to be favorable in meeting our buildable land needs, comprehensive planning policies relating to multi-modal access, and our retail marketing strategy. The Horizontal Mixed Use Overlay can be used as a design option in all areas currently zoned Highway Commercial (HC), General Commercial, (GC), Neighborhood Commercial (NC), Residential High Density (RHD) and a portion of the Smokey Point Arterial Corridor currently zoned Residential Moderate Density (RMD), by allowing its highest and best use potential. The proposed Docket Request is consistent with our Comprehensive Planning Policies; PL-7.2, PL-7.3, PO-6.1, GH-2, PH-4.1, and PH-8.3.
