The applicant, Washington Charter School Development (WCSD), is requesting a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use
Permit, Site Plan Review, and Environmental (SEPA) Review to renovate a vacant grocery store (former QFC) within the
Cascade Village Shopping Center to a K – 12th grade public school for Excel Public Charter School (Excel). The roughly
40,664 square foot building is located at 17060 116th Ave SE. The parcel is approximately 13.6 acres (APN 2823059009)
and is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA). The project is proposing to retain 60 existing parking spaces for school use and
convert several existing parking spaces (and some landscape areas) to bus loading and outdoor play. As a public charter
school it is tuition free and open to all students. The school would serve up to 500 students. The school day starts at 7:30
am (Monday – Friday) and ends at slightly varied times in the afternoon, ranging from 2:30 pm to 3:40 pm. Afterschool
clubs and tutoring last until 4:15 pm (Monday – Thursday). The school seeks to occupy the existing structure by fall of
2020. Renovations would include interior tenant improvements, seismic upgrades, new mechanical and electrical
systems, envelope improvements, and overall site improvements. The existing surface parking area would be used for
school parking. No critical areas are present on the project site. The applicant submitted a Drainage Report, Geotechnical
Report, and Traffic Study with the application.

to renovate a vacant grocery store (former QFC) within the Cascade Village Shopping Center to a new 7th– 12th grade

The applicant, Washington Charter School Development (WCSD), is requesting a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use
Permit, Site Plan Review, and Environmental (SEPA) Review to renovate a vacant grocery store (former QFC) within the
Cascade Village Shopping Center to a K – 12th grade public school for Excel Public Charter School (Excel). The roughly
40,664 square foot building is located at 17060 116th Ave SE. The parcel is approximately 13.6 acres (APN 2823059009)

convert several existing parking spaces (and some landscape areas) to bus loading and outdoor play. As a public charter
school it is tuition free and open to all students. The school would serve up to 500 students. The school day starts at 7:30
am (Monday – Friday) and ends at slightly varied times in the afternoon, ranging from 2:30 pm to 3:40 pm. Afterschool
clubs and tutoring last until 4:15 pm (Monday – Thursday). The school seeks to occupy the existing structure by fall of

systems, envelope improvements, and overall site improvements. The existing surface parking area would be used for
school parking. No critical areas are present on the project site. The applicant submitted a Drainage Report, Geotechnical
Report, and Traffic Study with the application.

Permit, Site Plan Review, and Environmental (SEPA) Review to renovate a vacant grocery store (former QFC) within the
Cascade Village Shopping Center to a K – 12th grade public school for Excel Public Charter School (Excel). The roughly
40,664 square foot building is located at 17060 116th Ave SE. The parcel is approximately 13.6 acres (APN 2823059009)
and is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA). The project is proposing to retain 60 existing parking spaces for school use and
convert several existing parking spaces (and some landscape areas) to bus loading and outdoor play. As a public charter
school it is tuition free and open to all students. The school would serve up to 500 students. The school day starts at 7:30
am (Monday – Friday) and ends at slightly varied times in the afternoon, ranging from 2:30 pm to 3:40 pm. Afterschool
clubs and tutoring last until 4:15 pm (Monday – Thursday). The school seeks to occupy the existing structure by fall of
2020. Renovations would include interior tenant improvements, seismic upgrades, new mechanical and electrical
systems, envelope improvements, and overall site improvements. The existing surface parking area would be used for
school parking. No critical areas are present on the project site. The applicant submitted a Drainage Report, Geotechnical
Report, and Traffic Study with the application.

to renovate a vacant grocery store (former QFC) within the Cascade Village Shopping Center to a new 7th– 12th grade
school, also known as “Excel Public Charter School” (Excel). During the City review process, the Excel school decided

The applicant, Washington Charter School Development (WCSD), is requesting a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use
Permit, Site Plan Review, and Environmental (SEPA) Review to renovate a vacant grocery store (former QFC) within the
Cascade Village Shopping Center to a K – 12th grade public school for Excel Public Charter School (Excel). The roughly
40,664 square foot building is located at 17060 116th Ave SE. The parcel is approximately 13.6 acres (APN 2823059009)
and is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA). The project is proposing to retain 60 existing parking spaces for school use and
convert several existing parking spaces (and some landscape areas) to bus loading and outdoor play. As a public charter
school it is tuition free and open to all students. The school would serve up to 500 students. The school day starts at 7:30
am (Monday – Friday) and ends at slightly varied times in the afternoon, ranging from 2:30 pm to 3:40 pm. Afterschool
clubs and tutoring last until 4:15 pm (Monday – Thursday). The school seeks to occupy the existing structure by fall of
2020. Renovations would include interior tenant improvements, seismic upgrades, new mechanical and electrical
systems, envelope improvements, and overall site improvements. The existing surface parking area would be used for
school parking. No critical areas are present on the project site. The applicant submitted a Drainage Report, Geotechnical
Report, and Traffic Study with the application.

Permit, Site Plan Review, and Environmental (SEPA) Review to renovate a vacant grocery store (former QFC) within the
Cascade Village Shopping Center to a K – 12th grade public school for Excel Public Charter School (Excel). The roughly
40,664 square foot building is located at 17060 116th Ave SE. The parcel is approximately 13.6 acres (APN 2823059009)
and is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA). The project is proposing to retain 60 existing parking spaces for school use and
convert several existing parking spaces (and some landscape areas) to bus loading and outdoor play. As a public charter
school it is tuition free and open to all students. The school would serve up to 500 students. The school day starts at 7:30
am (Monday – Friday) and ends at slightly varied times in the afternoon, ranging from 2:30 pm to 3:40 pm. Afterschool
clubs and tutoring last until 4:15 pm (Monday – Thursday). The school seeks to occupy the existing structure by fall of
2020. Renovations would include interior tenant improvements, seismic upgrades, new mechanical and electrical
systems, envelope improvements, and overall site improvements. The existing surface parking area would be used for
school parking. No critical areas are present on the project site. The applicant submitted a Drainage Report, Geotechnical
Report, and Traffic Study with the application.
