Modification Request Report & Decision 1216/1218 N 35th St SFRs – STREET MODIFICATION LUA21-000447, R21005267 Report of December 17, 2021 Page 2 of 3 Staff Comment: The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element has applicable policies listed under a separate section labeled Promoting a Safe, Healthy, and Attractive Community. The intent of the policies is to promote new development with walkable places that support grid and flexible grid street and pathway patterns, and are visually attractive, safe, and healthy environments. The proposed project will install a planting strip and sidewalk, which provides the benefit of a safe and walkable pathway. Although the street modification does not provide the aesthetic allure of removing existing overhead utilities, City Staff recognizes that the modification provides the minimum adjustment necessary to implement the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element. To facilitate undergrounding of these system in the future, Staff recommends as a condition of approval that a joint trench approved by the overhead utility providers and permitted by the City be constructed along the property frontages. Undergrounding of the utility lines from the overhead utility lines in the right of way to the single-family homes will still be required per RMC 4-7-200. Compliant if condition of approval is met b.
