Project Description: (Summary of the intended use or project purpose)

State permit no.
The applicant is requesting master site plan, Hearing Examiner site plan, shoreline substantial development, SEPA
environmental review, and a street modification for a proposed mixed use development located at the former Pan Abode
site at 4350 Lake Washington Blvd N (APN 3224059049). The subject property is approximately 7.76 gross acres and is
located within the Commercial-Office-Residential (COR) zoning designation, Urban Design District C, and regulated
shoreline jurisdiction. The site is mostly impervious surfaces and was initially developed with five (5) light industrial
buildings along with several smaller structures. Three (3) of the industrial buildings have since been demolished. A
stormwater pond exists in the southwestern corner of the site to collect and treat stormwater runoff. The applicant is
proposing to construct three (3) four-story apartment buildings providing 385 residential units of studio, one, and two
bedroom configurations where each of the proposed buildings would wrap around at-grade courtyard(s). The residential
density of the proposal would result in approximately 50 dwelling units per net acre. In addition, the redevelopment would
include approximately 1,550 square feet of retail space and a combination of 186 surface parking stalls and 218 ground
level parking within the buildings. The proposal would be constructed in three (3) phases. Each phase would include the
construction of one of the three proposed buildings – Phase 1 would include the construction of Building 2 (located in the
southwest corner), Phase 2 would include the construction of Building 1 (located in the northern portion), and Phase 3
would include the construction of Building 3 (located in the southeastern corner). Primary access to the mixed use
development would be provided by a new roundabout constructed off Lake Washington Blvd N at N 43rd St.
The site generally slopes from north and east to the southwest. Grading would include 2,880 cubic yards of cut and 4,335
cubic yards of fill from an approved source. A permanent sidewalk and slope easement would be provided over a fifteen-
foot (15’) portion of the property’s frontage along the northwest side for future WSDOT improvements. A portion of the
Residential Development would occur within the 200-foot shoreline zone of May Creek. Six (6) significant trees are
proposed to be retained onsite. The City’s mapping system has identified the subject property is within the Shoreline High-
Intensity May Creek Reach B designation, Flood Hazard Area, and Seismic Hazard Area. Studies submitted with the
master application include transportation impact analysis, arborist report, geotechnical report, preliminary technical
information report, critical areas report, stream study, wetland assessment, flood hazard data, and habitat data report.
On September 26, 2022, the Environmental Review Committee (ERC) reviewed the master site plan application and
issued a SEPA Determination of Non-Significance – Mitigated (DNS-M) with eight (8) mitigation measures. A 14-day
appeal period commenced on September 26, 2022 and ended on October 10, 2022. A Notice of Appeal of the threshold
determination was filed on October 10, 2022 by the owner of the property. Subsequently, on October 28, 2022, the
applicant made a request to initially process the notice of appeal as a reconsideration request. Following the
reconsideration request, on November 7, 2022, the Environmental Review Committee reissued a Determination of Non-
Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M) be retaining SEPA mitigation measures 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 and replaced mitigation
measures 3 and 4 of the DNS-M for Kennydale Gateway project.
