The City Council will be holding public meetings to discuss proposed changes to the Living Building Pilot Project (LBPP). The changes, authored by the Seattle Department of Planning & Development, would extend the life of the program beyond the end of the year and add needed flexibility to encourage development of more deep green buildings, like Stone34.  Public Hearing, July 9, 5pm, City Hall, 2nd floor.  FNC has not taken a position on these program changes but does support Stone34.  You can send a letter of support to City Council Members directly. Land Use Committee members are Richard Conlin, Chair <Richard.conlin@seattle.gov> (206-684-8805) ; Tim Burgess, Vice Chair  <tim.burgess@seattle.gov> (206-684-8806); Mike O’Brien <mike.obrien@seattle.gov> (206-684-8800), Sally Clark <sally.clark@seattle.gov> (206-684-8802);  or email all council members at <council@seattle.gov>  Live addresses here: http://www.seattle.gov/council/councilcontact.htm
