9th Ave S Street Vacation (Seattle Nissan)

Review Status

On October 4, 2018, we reviewed the public trust analysis for the proposed street vacations. We did take an action during today's meeting, but provided the project team with several recommendations to be addressed prior to the next meeting.

Project Description

The project applicant is petitioning to vacate right-of-way (ROW) between Airport Way S, Interstate 5, and S Spokane St in the SODO neighborhood to construct an automotive dealership. In total, the applicant is requesting to vacate three unimproved streets and one unimproved alley, which are located between three private parcels that are owned by the applicant.  The project will be constructed in two phases.  Phase I, which is under construction, includes the main dealership facility, outdoor vehicular storage, service area, and parking. Phase I is being developed on a private parcel.  Phase II, which will develop on additional private parcels and area from the vacated ROW, will include a car wash and additional service and parking areas.
