The Department of Planning and Development (DPD) is proposing to amend the Land Use Code to incorporate the Belltown Neighborhood Design Guidelines. These guidelines have been developed with community involvement and would apply within the Belltown Urban Center Village. The proposed neighborhood-specific guidelines together with the Design Review Guidelines for Downtown Development would form the basis for design review within the Belltown neighborhood.

In reviewing Master Use Permit (MUP) applications subject to design review (generally new multi-family and commercial development), the City’s Design Review Boards consult guidelines that describe various development techniques and features intended to help new development better fit into existing neighborhoods. Through the neighborhood planning process, neighborhoods like Belltown expressed an interest in augmenting the Design Review Guidelines for Downtown Development, which are of a general nature and apply throughout downtown. Neighborhood-Specific Design Guidelines address more specific design concerns that may have historical, cultural or architectural significance to a neighborhood.

The proposal carries out a key implementation strategy of the Belltown Urban Center Village Plan.

DCLU has determined that the proposed amendment will not have a significant adverse environmental impact, and has issued a Determination of Non-Significance (no Environmental Impact Statement required).

Appeals of the decision to issue a Determination of Non-Significance must be submitted to the Office of the Hearing Examiner by 5:00 p.m. April 29, 2004. Appeals should be addressed to the Hearing Examiner and must be accompanied by a $50.00 filing fee in a check payable to the City of Seattle. The appeal must be sent to:

Office of the Hearing Examiner
Room 1320 Alaska Building
618 Second Avenue
Seattle, WA 98104

Copies of the environmental determination and proposed Belltown Urban Center Village Design Guidelines may be obtained at the DPD Public Resource Center, 700 5^th Avenue, Suite 2000 in the Key Tower.

Questions about the environmental determination may be directed to Scott Ringgold at (206) 233-3856 or via email at scott.ringgold@seattle.gov 

Questions regarding the proposed guidelines maybe directed to John Skelton at (206) 233-3883 or via email at john.skelton@seattle.gov  

Amendments to the Land Use Code (Title 23) are proposed to implement changes to the Design Review Board, to provide for the continued participation of experienced Design Review Board members, whose terms have expired.

These changes will allow a more efficient and representative "at-large" board made up of individuals chosen from a roster of substitute members to function effectively when the Design Review Boards assigned to geographic subareas of the city are operating at capacity. Additionally, Board membership substitution and recruiting would be enhanced by establishing a pool of substitute board members who could serve in an instance in which a current Board member is unable to carry out his or her responsibilities and no other active board member substitute is available.

The City Council’s Urban Development and Planning Committee, chaired by Councilmember Peter Steinbrueck, will hold a public hearing to take comments on the proposed amendments on May 12, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. in the Council’s Chamber, 2^nd floor, Seattle City Hall, 600 Fourth Avenue. The entrance to City Hall is located on Fifth Avenue between James and Cherry Streets. For those who wish to testify, a sign-up sheet will be available outside the Council Chamber one-half hour before the public hearing. Questions concerning the public hearing may be directed to Neil Powers in Councilmember Steinbrueck’s office, by calling 684-8804 or via e-mail at neil.powers@seattle.gov

The Department of Planning and Development (DPD) is proposing to rezone portions of the Rainier Beach Residential Urban Village to carry out recommendations from the Rainier Beach Neighborhood Plan. The amendments include the following:

• Rezoning the central Rainier Beach commercial area south of S. Henderson Street from Commercial 1 (with 40- and 30-foot height limits) to Neighborhood Commercial 3 with a 40-foot height limit;
• An option in the central commercial area is to retain a C1-40’ zone for properties on S. Director Street east of Rainier Avenue S. (not including properties abutting Rainier Avenue S.)
• Rezoning selected parcels south of S. Henderson Street from Midrise to Neighborhood Commercial 3 with a 40-foot height limit and Lowrise 3;
• Rezoning selected parcels south of S. Henderson Street from Lowrise 1 to Lowrise 2;
• Rezoning a small portion of the Barton Place Apartments property from Lowrise 3 to Neighborhood Commercial 3 with a 40-foot height limit (however, if a Midrise zone is retained on this property, the Lowrise 3 zone may be changed to a Midrise zone to unify the site’s zoning); and
• Placing a P2 pedestrian designation on selected parcels in the general vicinity of the S. Henderson Street/Rainier Avenue S. intersection.
• Rezoning portions of selected parcels from Single Family 5000 to Lowrise 3, to improve zoning boundaries in the vicinity of 46^th Avenue S. and S. Henderson Street.

The Seattle Public Schools plans a major renovation of Garfield High School, 400 23^rd Avenue. The project includes historic renovation of the 1923 structure, demolition of the remaining structures and construction of a new addition. Preliminary design indicates the school needs five (5) departures from the development standards: 1) lot coverage, 2) set backs, 3) building height, 4) parking, and 5) bus loading.

The process for considering the requested departures involves public meetings before a citizen advisory committee that consists of neighborhood, Seattle Public Schools, and City of Seattle representatives. Two City of Seattle representatives and one Seattle Public Schools representative are presently appointed to the committee. We are requesting volunteers to fill the remaining slots available on the committee.

Each volunteer selected would represent one of the following groups:

1. A person residing within 300 feet of the development site.
2. A person owning property or a business within 300 feet of the development site.
3. Two (2) representatives of the general neighborhood.
4. A representative-at-large.
5. Two (2) parents of Garfield High School students.

The advisory committee will hear and evaluate public comment, make recommendations, and if necessary propose conditional changes to the requested departures. The meetings will be of short duration in the evenings. You may volunteer by sending a letter stating your interest and group affiliation to the address listed below. Letters must be received by April 19, 2004. A signed copy of the letter may also be faxed to (206) 684-8493.
