Planning Legislation


In Process:

As of May 8, 2003

DPD is proposing Land Use Code amendments via two proposed ordinances in order to make three corrections related to the Station Area Overlay District (SAOD). These ordinances, described in the accompanying Director's Report, are currently being reviewed by the Seattle City Council Land Use Committee.

The first amendment would correct an oversight that effectively prohibits repair and maintenance facilities associated with sales and rental of automobiles within the SAOD. While the amendment would allow major and minor repair of motor vehicles as an accessory use, the use would continue to be prohibited as a principal use.

The second amendment would correct a redundant reference to "mini-warehouses" as a prohibited use by removing one of the references--warehouses would continue to be prohibited uses.

The third proposal would replace two streets inadvertently omitted from the list that identifies principal pedestrian streets within pedestrian-designated zones.
