Notice Information

Notice of Application

Please see "Other Land Use Actions" for notice of Design Review Early Design Guidance Applications.

Seattle’s Department of Design, Construction and Land Use is currently reviewing the Master Use Permit applications described below. Your written comments are encouraged and may be submitted to:

Department of Design, Construction and Land Use
ATTN: Public Resource Center or Assigned Planner
700 5^th Avenue, Suite 2000
Seattle, Washington 98104
FAX (206) 233-7901

Applications requiring shoreline approvals are subject to an initial 30-day comment period. All other land use approvals listed below are subject to an initial 14-day comment period. The comment period may be extended an additional 14-days. A written request to extend the comment period must be received by this Department within the initial 14-day comment period as published in this bulletin. Any comments filed after the end of the official comment period may be considered if pertinent to review yet to be conducted. The project file, environmental documentation and other additional information related to the project can be found at the DPD Public Resource Center, 700 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 (206) 684-8467. The Public Resource Center is open 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Questions about the projects listed in this bulletin can also be directed to the Public Resource Center via e-mail. The e-mail address is PRC@seattle.gov. For future updates include your US postal address.

To the extent known by the Department, in addition to the project permits included in each of the land use applications described below, other government approvals or permits that may be necessary, that are not included in the applications, will also be listed. When a building permit is listed as being necessary, this may include associated electrical, plumbing, mechanical, elevator, and other similar permits.

The City Council amended the City’s SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act) Ordinance effective on November 1, 1998. The amendments included the Early Review Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) Process, which DPD is now using for all applications for projects requiring a threshold determination when DPD has reasonable basis to believe that significant adverse impacts are not likely, and the Director expects to issue a DNS for the proposal. The DNS is not final until it is published following consideration of all comments received during the comment period.

The comment period for a project subject to an Early Review DNS may be the only opportunity to submit comment on the environmental impacts of the proposal. Projects subject to the Early Review DNS process may include mitigation measures under applicable codes and ordinances, and after comment and review occurs they may incorporate or require additional mitigation measures regardless of whether or not an Environment Impact Statement is required.

A copy of the application and the environmental checklist prepared by the applicant will be sent to agencies with jurisdiction, the Department of Ecology, affected tribes and local agencies whose public services would be changed as a result of the proposal. After the close of the comment period, DPD will review any comments and will either issue a DNS followed by an opportunity to appeal, or, if significant environmental impacts are identified, a DS/Scoping notice. Copies of the subsequent threshold determination for the proposal may be obtained upon request.

Numbers used in project descriptions are approximations. The final approved plans will control.

Interpretations

A formal decision as to the meaning, application or intent of any development regulation in Title 23 (Land Use Code) or Chapter 25.09 (Regulations for Environmentally Critical Areas) is known as an "interpretation". Examples include questions of how structure height or setback is properly measured, or how a proposed use should be categorized. An interpretation may be requested by any party during the comment period as determined above. The request must be in writing, and accompanied by a $1,500.00 fee payable to the City of Seattle. (This fee covers the first six hours of review. Additional hours will be billed at $250.00.) Interpretations on some issues may also be requested later, during the appeal period, if the project decision is appealed. Failure to request an interpretation can preclude raising the issue on appeal. Questions regarding the interpretation process may be asked by phone by calling (206) 684-8467. Requests for interpretation may be submitted to the Department of Design, Construction and Land Use, Code Interpretation and Implementation Group, 700 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000, Seattle, WA 98104.

Note: The vicinity map feature added to the public notice of application is provided as an illustrative reference. It is not intended to replace the legal description and site plan included in the project file. In the event of omissions, errors or differences, the documents in DPD’s files will control.

A copy of the Hearing Examiner Rules is available for $1.75 from DPD. The Hearing Examiner’s Office also provides a "Citizen Guide to the Office of the Hearing Examiner". To be assured of a right to have your views heard, you must be party to an appeal. Do not assume that you will have an opportunity to be heard if someone else has filed an appeal from the decision.

Interpretations

Issues concerning the proper application of any development regulation in the Land Use and Zoning Code (Title 23) or regulations for Environmentally Critical Areas (Chapter 25.09) cannot be raised as part of this appeal. These issues can be considered in an interpretation, which may be appealed to the Hearing Examiner. Interpretations may be requested by any interested person. Requests for interpretations must be filed in writing prior to 5:00 P.M. on the appeal deadline indicated below and be accompanied by a $2,000.00 fee payable to the City of Seattle.

Shoreline Decisions

An appeal from a shoreline decision is made to the State Shorelines Hearing Board. It is NOT made to the City Hearing Examiner. The appeal must be in writing and filed within 21 days of the date the DPD decision is received by the State Department of Ecology (DOE). The DPD decision will be sent to DOE by the close of business on the Friday of this week. If the Shoreline decision involves a shoreline variance or shoreline conditional use, the appeal must be filed within 21 days after DOE has made their decision. The information necessary for DOE to make their decision will be sent to them by the close of business on the Friday of this week. The beginning of the appeal period may also be provided to you by calling (206) 684-8467.

NOTICE OF LAND USE CODE TEXT AMENDMENT, AND ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
	Notice1
	The Department of Design, Construction, and Land Use (DPD) is proposing to amend sections 23.84.002 and 23.84.010 of the Land Use Code. The amendments would define "electric scooters" and "electric-assisted bicycle," and exempt the sales and rental of these devices from the definition of "automotive retail sales and service."

CITY SEEKING VOUNTEERS TO HELP DECIDE ALLOWABLE USES FOR THE FORMER UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUILDING
	Notice2
	Volunteers are needed to serve on an advisory committee that will recommend whether to broaden the list of allowable uses of the former University Heights Elementary School building and site. It is located on the block bounded by University Way NE, NE 50th St., Brooklyn Ave. NE and NE 52nd St. The Seattle School District closed the school in 1989 and worked with the community to develop a list of allowable building uses under the School Use Advisory Committee (SUAC) Process. It included the formation of a Citizens Committee to identify uses and criteria for building re-use. The process provided for use of the building and site as a "center for the community," including limited parking. Following that process, the University Heights Center for the Community was established, and it is still the master tenant of the site. University Heights Center is now interested in using the paved south lot area for part-time, paid parking. Existing part-time uses of the area, including the Farmers Market and basketball courts, would continue. Since the original list of authorized uses only allowed parking in the approximately 50 pre-existing spaces, the City is re-convening the SUAC to consider allowing this use and other possible amendments to use restrictions. The committee’s task will be to establish criteria for uses of the structure and grounds that are compatible with the surrounding community. The committee will gather public input and advise the Department of Neighborhoods whether to amend the list of allowable uses. The Department of Neighborhoods is therefore seeking interested persons to serve on this committee for the former University Heights Elementary School. The committee will have seven representatives from the following groups: A representative of the City selected by the Director of the Department of Neighborhoods, to act as chairperson A representative of the Seattle School District Two (2) persons residing or owning property within 300 feet of the school site A representative-at-large selected in cooperation with the local community organization representing the area Two (2) general at-large neighborhood representatives If you are interested in serving on this committee, send a letter of interest to: Dave Boyd Seattle Department of Neighborhoods 700 3rd Avenue, Suite 400 Seattle, WA 98104-1848 Letters of interest should be received by Thursday, March 6, 2003 For more information, call Dave Boyd, Department of Neighborhoods, at 733-9587 or send e-mail to dave.boyd@seattle.gov
