Zoning and Surrounding Land Use: The lots are currently zoned Auto Commercial (AC) — Under SCC 15.05.025 (b) (8) the Auto commercial district (AC) is intended to provide areas to accommodate highway -oriented commercial activities such as offices, certain institutional uses, and limited personal services and retail uses requiring substantial outdoor activity, traffic and parking, and which also serve the offices and nearby residential areas, and which do not materially detract from nearby residential areas. The parcels surrounding this replat are within the Auto Commercial, Office Residential and R-1 Residential Zoning Districts and are developed with single family structures and one commercial structure located on the lots immediately to the north. The AVTEC Culinary Academy and student housing occupy the whole of Block 29, across Third Avenue to the east, and is zoned Institutional. Utilities: The property is served by existing public utilities and maintained streets; therefore a subdivision agreement is not required. There are appropriate fire hydrants within an approved distance. Size: Lot 3A will contain approximately 9,000 square feet. The new lot will meet the requirement for minimum lot width and buildable lot size for the Auto Commercial Zoning District. Existing Use: There is currently a 12 -unit studio apartment building under construction on these lots. This project is permitted under Conditional Use Permit 2018-04.

Risk MAP helps build public awareness about these types of hazards while encouraging local communities to take action to reduce our exposure to these natural disasters. To convey all things Risk MAP in Washington, the Washington Department of Ecology developed a new Risk MAP ArcGIS online mapping application. This `app', built with the ArcGIS Online StoryMap tool, provides stakeholders with the latest hazard information without needing to have expensive software or GIS expertise. The WA State Risk MAP Online Mapping Application is open to the public, and can be viewed online at ht s://arc .ig s/0cygTm. 17123 esti Users can zoom to areas of interest, where more data details become visible, providing quick access to information such as flood hazard zones, base flood elevation cross sections, and coastal transects. Risk MAP uses state-of-the-art tools and techniques to produce quality data at the parcel scale and estimates damages to each structure in the floodplain under multiple scenarios, not just flooding. A number of regulatory and non -regulatory products can be accessed via this application. In addition to floodplain risk analysis, non -regulatory Risk MAP products include maps and assessments of a community's exposure to volcanic and seismic events, and areas that may be susceptible to sea level rise. Additionally, users can download the reports and GIS data produced, and see who to contact with questions.

Flooding can happen anywhere, not just in designated high-risk areas. Insured survivors are able to recover quicker and more fully from a flood or other catastrophic event than their uninsured neighbors. That is exactly why FEMA is committed to closing the insurance gap across the nation. Doubling the number of properties with flood insurance from 4 million to 8 million is one of FEMA's "Moonshots", and this stakeholder starter kit was developed to help local governments carry this message into their communities and advance 18123 our nation's resiliency. The kit consists of key messages and templates that you can leverage to communicate the crucial role insurance plays in disaster recovery. By partnering with other federal and state agencies, local and tribal governments, territories, academia, the private sector, and non- governmental organizations (NGOs), we can increase the number of insured Americans. We can create a stronger, more resilient nation — one action, one community at a time. The Kit is available in both English and Spanish, and can be downloaded from FEMA's website at hlWs://www.fema.jzov/media- library/assets/documents/ 166428/ If you have questions or feedback about this starter kit, contact FIMAMoonshots2022(a)fema. dhs.zov New Handout: How to Request Map Changes In an effort to increase the number of completed Letter of Map Change (LOMC) applications submitted by homeowners, a 2 -page guide titled "How to Request a Map Amendment" is available online.
