Thanks for the update on such an important issue.  Making Bellevue a more livable city is a great idea.  But I would not characterize changing building heights from the current 450 Ft to 600 Ft and from 250 Ft to 365 Ft "subtle."  In reality very few DT Bellevue residents are aware of these changes, don't feel that developers need more incentives to develop properties in DT Bellevue, and don't think that larger buildings will improve livability.  Traffic, parking and safety impacts of development under the current code are not understood. assessment is needed before expanding development beyond the current code.  The vast majority of comments at the hearing were from developers arguing that the 20 ft setback should not be increased to 40 ft.  I don't see how their well-organized and resourced views represent the views of those of us actually living in downtown.
