PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review for a proposed
change of use and tenant improvement from a vehicle repair shop to a “laboratory, light manufacturing” use in the
existing building located at 414 Monroe Ave NE (APN 0923059171). The property is approximately 15,625 square feet in
size and is located in the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone and Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) land use designation. The
purpose of the proposed lab is to research, investigate, and test weather barrier systems to improve energy efficiency in
existing and new structures. No exterior development or exterior modifications are proposed for the change of use.
“Laboratories: light manufacturing” is a permitted use in the CA Zone and Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) land use
designation provided the subject property is not located along NE Sunset Blvd, NE 4th Street, or S Puget Drive. Therefore,
the proposed use is a permitted use on the subject property. Environmental (SEPA) Review is required due to the project
being a change of use in a building larger than 4,000 square feet. Access to the site would remain via existing curb cuts
off of Monroe Ave NE. According to COR maps, no critical areas are mapped on the project site. No trees or vegetation
removal is proposed as a part of the project. The applicant submitted an Environmental Checklist with the project
application.
When the DNS becomes appealable, the appeal period will be 14 days.
