Project Summary:The Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI)is requesting Hearing Examiner Site Plan
Review,Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit,Environmental ‘SEPA’Review,and
three modifications for the construction of a 6-story building containing 48 affordable
multi-family residential units.The structure would have an average height of 64 feet.
The 0.32 acre site is located within the Center Downtown (CD)zoning classification on
the west side of Whitworth Ave S just north of S 3rd St at 215 Whitworth Ave S.
Vehicular access to the site would be provided via a single entry point from Whitworth
Ave S.A total of 12 parking spaces would be provided within the structure.A refuse
and recycle modification,from RMC 4-4-090,is being requested in order to reduce the
number of required deposit and collection points as well as the size requirements.A
bicycle parking modification,from RMC 4-4-050,is being requested in order to reduce
the number of required bicycle parking from 24 to 20 stalls.Finally,the applicant is
requesting a street modification,from RMC 4-6-060,in order to maintain the existing
60-foot right-of-way,without dedication,and alter the required street cross section.
The site is located within a Seismic Hazard Area.There appears to be no other critical
areas located on site.
Site Area:13,915 SF Total Building Area GSF:46,215 SF

Re:Archaeology -Survey Requested,More information requested
Dear Ms.Timmons:
Thank you for contacting the Washington State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO)and Department of
Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DARP)and providing documentation regarding the above
referenced project.As a result of our review,our professional opinion is that the project area has the
potential to contain archaeological resources.Identification of cultural resources during construction is
not a recommended detection method because inadvertent discoveries often result in costly construction
delays and damage to the resource.We request a professional archaeological survey of the project area be
conducted prior to ground disturbing activities.The survey should be provided to DAHP and the
interested Tribes prior to ground disturbance.We also recommend consultation with the concerned
Tribes’cultural committees and staff regarding cultural resource issues.
If any federal funds or permits are associated with this proposal,Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act,as amended,and its implementing regulations,36 CFR 800,must be followed.This is a
separate process from both the NEPA and SEPA environmental review processes and requires formal
government-to-government consultation with the affected Tribes and the SNPO.Also,we appreciate
receiving any correspondence or comments from concerned tribes or other parties concerning cultural
resource issues that you receive.
