PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting combined preliminary and final Planned Urban

unit townhome project located at 1132 Edmonds Ave NE. The subject property is 74,052 square feet (1.7 acres) and
located in Commercial Mixed Use land use designation and Center Village zoning classification. The subject property is
located within the Sunset Terrace Redevelopment Master Site Plan (LUA14001474) and has been allocated 68
multifamily units as part of the approved master plan. The 12 townhomes would be located on the eastern portion of
the property and encompass 31,187 square feet (0.72 acres) of the site resulting in approximately 21 units per net acre.
The townhome portion of the site would be subdivided into 12 lots, a common open space tract, and a utility/access
tract. Lot sizes would range from 1,500 to 1,800 square feet. Access to the townhome site would be via an existing
driveway located at the Glennwood Townhome project at 1141 Glennwood Ave NE. The applicant proposes to retain
four (4) of the 26 significant trees on the townhome portion (eastern) of the site. The applicant proposes to construct a
detention vault and install a filtration system to capture and treat storm drainage prior to discharge into the City’s
stormwater system. The western portion of the site would be comprised of approximately 40,927 square feet (0.94 acres)
and is proposed to be developed with multifamily housing in a future phase that would be reviewed under separate
permit. No general vehicle access from Edmonds Ave NE would be provided with this initial phase of development. The
City’s mapping system indicates slopes greater than 40% and High Landslide Area along the western portion of the
property. The applicant has submitted reports and memoranda for impacts related to transportation, stormwater,
geotechnical, and tree removal/retention. The project site is within the Sunset Planned Action Area and the City’s
