PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Master Site Plan Review, Preliminary Planned Urban
Development, and SEPA Environmental Review for a proposed mixed use development that would provide
approximately 1,179 multi-family residential units and approximately 48,761 square feet of commercial space located
on a 11.5-acre site at 800 Garden Ave N (APN 0823059217). The subject property includes a vacant one-story retail
building (former Fry’s Electronics store) and surface parking lot that would be demolished to allow for the proposed
development. The proposal includes the construction of three (3) mixed use buildings over three phases. The phases
would include the following development: Phase 1: Building A – 8 stories (approx. 84 feet above level 1 finished floor
elevation (FFE), 696,496 square feet (SF) with 25,697 SF of ground level commercial space, 419 dwelling units (du), and
635 parking stalls; Phase 2: Building B – 7 stories (approx. 74 feet above level 1 FFE), 582,385 SF with 13,195 SF of ground
level commercial space, 375 du, and 488 parking stalls; and Phase 3: Building C – 7 stories (approx. 73 feet above level 1
FFE), 591,702 SF with 9,869 SF of ground level commercial space, 385 du, and 490 parking stalls. Net residential density
on the subject property would result in approximately 110 dwelling units per net acre. The development would include
approximately 1,613 on-site parking spaces and approximately 26 on-street parallel parking spaces. A new public street
connection would be constructed along Garden Ave N between Building A and Building B to provide vehicular access to
on-site structured parking garages. A fire access road would be provided to the north and east of the development.
Proposed drainage improvements are anticipated to mimic the existing drainage patterns, reduce the total amount of
impervious surface, and provide water quality treatment for pollution-generating surfaces. The applicant proposes to
remove the site’s 83 trees (20 significant trees) and replace them with new trees, add a private access road and
driveways, construct street frontage improvements along Garden Ave N and N 8th St, and create open spaces (plazas
and paseos). The applicant has submitted a Technical Information Report, Geotechnical Engineering Services Report,
Traffic Impact Analysis, and a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Report.
