Description
The applicant has revised their vested critical areas permit, site plan review, and SEPA processing applications in response to city concerns, and submitted the revised documents for City review and permitting. The applicant’s updated submittal proposes the phased construction of a mixed use that will provide approximately 40,640 sq ft of speculative commercial space for office and/or retail use, as well as a total of 272 residential units on approximately 19.3 acre area. The building area is currently vacant, with several mapped wetlands present, primarily within the northeast corner of the site, which the applicant is not proposing to impact. Each of the eight proposed buildings will include two ground floor commercial spaces for lease (one being 3,140 Sq Ft and the second being 1,940 Sq Ft), as well as 23 parking spaces within the garage, as well as two floors of residential uses, with 17 units per floor.
The construction of the first phase of the building, including buildings A and B for a total of 10,160 Sq Ft of commercial space and 68 residential units and associated improvements, is expected to start in the summer of 2025 and be completed in 2026, with each additional phase (consisting of one building each) being completed each year based on market demand. Partial construction of the extension of Franklin Loop that has been identified as a part of the City’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), along with other associated civil improvements will be completed alongside the development, and the proposed development will include designation of 4.1 acres of open space, including one acre of active open space located behind buildings F and G.
