PROJECT NAME: Kennydale Apartments
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Hearing Examiner Site Plan Review, Conditional Use
Permit approval, and Environmental (SEPAl Review for the construction of a 6-story mixed-use building containing 230
apartment units and 2,500 square feet of commercial space. An additional single storY, 40,000 square-foot, structure is
also proposed on-site and would be used as artist/incubator space. The mixed-use structure would have an average
height of 59 feet and 6 inches. However, the tallest point of the structure would be approximately 66 feet and 10
inches. Therefore, a Conditional Use Permit is required in order to increase the height, for certain portions of the
structure, beyond the 60 foot maximum. The vacant 4.8 acre site is located within the Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning
designation on the south side of NE 48th Street, just east of Lake Washington Blvd N. The easterly 86·foot portion of the
site would be set aside as open space and would be used as a buffer for the proposed mixed-use structure. Access to
the site would be provided off NE 48th Street via two driveways resulting in a private loop road on-site, A total of 392
parking spaces would be provided of which 263 stalls would be located within a sub-grade parking garage. The
remain.ing 129 stalls would be located within surface parking surrounding the two proposed structures. The site is
located within a High Erosion Hazard area and an unclassified Landslide Hazard Area. Critical slopes, which exceed a 40%
grade, are also located on site but would not be impacted as part of the proposal.
