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 5th 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 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.

and Land Use has reviewed the Master Use Permit application(s) below and
issued the following decisions. Interested parties may appeal these
decisions.
Hearing Examiner Appeals
To appeal to the City’s Hearing Examiner, the appeal
MUST be in writing, and be delivered to the Office of the Hearing
Examiner, Room 1320, Alaska Building, 618 Second Avenue, Seattle,
Washington 98104. Appeals must be received prior to 5:00 P.M. of the
appeal deadline indicated below and be accompanied by a $50.00 filing fee
in a check payable to the City of Seattle. (The Hearing Examiner may waive
the appeal fee if payment would cause financial hardship.) The appeal must
identify all the specific Master Use Permit component(s) being appealed,
specify exceptions or objections to the decision, and the relief sought.
Appeals to the Hearing Examiner must conform in content and form to the
Hearing Examiner’s rules governing appeals. (The Hearing Examiner’s Office
has a form that can be used for land use appeals.) 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. (This fee covers the first eight hours
of review. Additional hours will be billed at $250.00.) Requests must
be submitted to the Department of Design, Construction and Land Use, Code
Interpretation and Implementation Section, 700 Fifth Avenue. Questions
regarding how to apply for a formal interpretation may be asked by phone
by calling (206) 684-8467.
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. The minimum requirements for
the content of a shoreline appeal and all the parties who must be served
within the appeal period cannot be summarized here but written
instructions are available at the Department of Design, Construction and
Land Use (Client Assistance Memo 232), 700 Fifth Av, Suite 2000, Seattle,
WA 98104-1703, (206) 684-8467 or contact the Shorelines Hearing Board at
(360) 459-6327. Failure to properly file an appeal within the required
time period will result in dismissal of the appeal. In cases where a
shoreline and environmental decision are the only components, the appeal
for both shall be filed with the State Shorelines Hearing Board. When a
decision has been made on a shoreline application with environmental
review and other appealable land use components, the appeal of the
environmental review must be filed with both the State Shorelines Hearing
Board and the City of Seattle Hearing Examiner.

When specified below written comments will be accepted.
Comments should be addressed to: Department of Design, Construction and
Land Use, 700 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000, Seattle, WA 98104.

Report

Description of Proposal
The Department of Planning and Developmentis the lead
agency. The proponent, the Office of Policy and Management, is
proposing amendments to the Land Use Code, Chapter 23.71, Northgate
Overlay District. The location of the proposal is the Northgate
Overlay District. The proposal repeals requirements for a GDP. The
proponent is also proposing to amend the open space requirements in
several ways; first, to provide an additional option in how open space
development standards are met, so that in addition to open space being
required equal to 15 percent of the lot, open space may be provided
that is equal to 15 percent of the gross floor area being proposed.
Second, the provision is repealed that requires any deficit in open
space to be eliminated when a proposal for substantial development is
made. The amendments also delete a cross-reference to a state statute
regarding development fees. The purpose of the amendments is to
encourage development in the Northgate area.

The Director of DPD has determined that the proposed amendments
does not have a probable significant adverse environmental impact, and
has issued a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS - No Environmental
Impact Statement required.) The decision was made after review of a

the lead agency. This information is available to the public on
request. There is no comment period for this DNS.
