By Representative Pollet

On page 22, beginning on line 19 of the striking amendment, after "(2)" strike all material through "section" on line 36 and insert "An extension certified under this section may be applied only to the following specific areas:

(a) Where a city has identified water, sewer, stormwater, or transportation services that are currently deficient, or are expected to be deficient within the next five years, and for which the local government has established a plan of actions that will remedy the deficiency in those services on a specific timeline, the department may certify additional extensions of a city's remediation timeline.

(b) For any subarea within the jurisdiction for which the city or county finds that the increases in housing density required under section 5 of this act may create a significant risk of displacement of lower-income households, particularly those on fixed incomes, from an area where home ownership has historically been subject to barriers discouraging racial and economic integration, the city or county may apply to the department for flexibility in implementation for a limited period of time that is reasonably sufficient to allow engagement with affected communities of interest and analysis of potential measures to reduce such risk not to exceed two years.  The total of subareas identified pursuant to this subsection (2)(b) shall not exceed twenty percent of the land in the city that is zoned for single-family residential use.

(3) The department may establish by rule any plan for preventing displacement and procedures necessary to implement this section.

(4) This section authorizes only extension of the deadline for adoption of revised development regulations for areas identified in subsection 2 of this section and does not authorize extension of the deadline under RCW 36.70A.130 for adoption of other revised development regulations or for adoption of a revised comprehensive plan"

On page 22, after line 36 of the amendment, insert the following:

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 6. A new section is added to chapter 36.70A RCW to read as follows:

During the planning period, county assessors are authorized to work with cities and community stakeholders to collect data on current property values in those areas identified for upzoning, and to identify homeowners in those areas who may become eligible for the seniors and disabled veterans property tax exemption due to changes in property values and homeowner income levels. Cities and county assessors are authorized to provide those homeowners with educational materials regarding their potential eligibility for property tax relief under the seniors and disabled veterans property tax exemption."

Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
