Dear Commissioners
It's a bit frustrating that the extra height was not considered when 35' is the maximum height limit. The
developer does not need the 45' height "to more effectively accommodate the residential component".
The developer's project already has the units he needs within the 35' limit.
The roof decks, trellises, and stair towers are not necessary "to more effectively accommodate the
residential component" of a mixed-use project.
Code Section:
17.58.030 — Development and Design Standards Property development standards shall be those of the
underlying zone, except that the application of the MU overlay zone to a property may include
establishing a higher height limit than the underlying zone "to more effectively accommodate the
residential component of a mixed-use project". Any such request for a higher height limit shall be set
forth in the subject application and shall be reviewed by the applicable review authority as part of the
overall application. Proposed development and new land uses shall also comply with all applicable
provisions of Section 17.70.130 (Mixed-use Development)
We request the roof decks be eliminated totally, or the overall
building height should be reduced.
