PROJECT NARRATIVE FOR SEATTLE SEAHAWKS TEMPORARY PARKING PERMIT
This application is for a Temporary Use Permit for the Seattle Seahawks to provide temporary staff and bus parking for the Seahawks Training Camp (2015 Training Camp is scheduled to
run July 31 through August 31) and for special events held at VMAC (12 Seahawks Way, Renton, WA 98056). The temporary parking would be located at 4350 Lake Washington Blvd. (Parcel
#3224059049). With regards to Training Camp, the Seattle Seahawks are proposing to use this site for overflow parking for staff, which could result in parking upwards of sixty (60)
personal vehicles at this site. There will be a shuttle (van) transporting folks from the site to VMAC, which will minimize the number of pedestrians crossing Lake Washington Blvd.
Parking at this site would occur during regular office hours/practice times at VMAC, approximately 8:00am to 5:00pm.
The Seattle Seahawks will host approximately 2,600 fans at each Training Camp practice. A limited number of tickets to attend Training Camp practices will be available to the public
for purchase. The public will gain access to the practices from The Landing via bus/shuttle transport that will be provided by the Seattle Seahawks. There will be twenty (20) busses
transporting people from The Landing to VMAC during each practice. The 4350 Lake Washington Blvd. site will be used for staging of up to twelve (12) busses at one time. No loading
of off-loading would occur at this site; members of the public will be picked-up at The Landing and dropped off at VMAC.
In addition to utilizing the site for temporary parking during Training Camp (as referenced above), the Seattle Seahawks would like to use the site for special events at VMAC which require
additional parking. These events will be limited in number and would take place during the day.
Access to the site will be gained via the existing access point located at the northerly edge of the parcel. Vehicles will be parked on the existing concrete/asphalt “lot” at the site.
Currently, the existing conditions of the site are built to support vehicular traffic and no changes would be required to the site in order for it to be utilized as a temporary parking
lot.
The site is located in the COR zoning designation and is north of May Creek. No trees are proposed to be removed as part of this permit. No fill or excavation would be required for
this permit.
