along the south edge of the property. The Shop Building B (aka Building SH) would be a roughly 20,900 square foot 2-
story building located near the middle of the site. Building C (aka Building ST) would be an approximately 4,500 square
feet single-story enclosed and covered storage building along the northern boundary. In addition to the buildings, a
variety of storage areas would include ecology block material storage bins, utility trailers and other equipment parking
along the north and west boundaries. Approximately 7,700 square feet of this storage area would be covered, but not
fully enclosed. The proposed project would provide improved function and space for shop operations, enhanced
vehicle and pedestrian safety, better site circulation and flow, and provide needed office space, meeting rooms,
storage, and support spaces to support planned growth. The facility is designed to meet the goals of Net Zero Energy
pursuant to the Living Building Challenge certification process.

Ave NE (a private road owned by King County) via the intersection at NE 3rd St/NE 4th St and Jefferson Ave NE. No
wetlands or streams were identified on the project site. The applicant is proposing to retain five (5) out of the eight (8)
onsite trees.
Design and permitting for the project would last through 2019. It is estimated that the first phase of construction
would begin in 2020 and that the entire project would be completed sometime in 2022. The existing facility would
continue to operate throughout construction of the new structures, with demolition of the existing buildings following
occupancy of the new buildings. The applicant submitted a Preliminary Geotechnical Evaluation, a Critical Areas
