Notice of Application
Please see “Other Land
Use Actions” for notice of Design Review Early Design Guidance
Applications. Seattle’s Department of Planning & Development is currently
reviewing the Master Use Permit applications described below. Your
written comments are encouraged and may be submitted to:
Department of Planning and Development
ATTN: Public Resource Center or Assigned Planner
700 5TH Av Ste 2000
PO Box 34019
Seattle, Washington 98124-4019
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 Planning and Development, Code
Interpretation and Implementation Group, 700 5th Av Ste 2000,
PO Box 34019, Seattle, WA 98124-4019.
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.

Notice of Decision
The Director of the
Department of Planning and Development 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 Planning
and Development, Code Interpretation and Implementation Section, 700 5th
Av Ste 2000, PO
Box 34019, Seattle WA 98124-4019.
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 Planning
and Development (Client Assistance Memo 232), 700 5th Av Ste
2000, PO Box 34019, Seattle, WA 98124-4019, (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.

written comments will be accepted. Comments should be addressed to:
Department of Planning and Development, 700 5th Av Ste 2000,
