In July, changes to the City of Seattle’s design review program went into effect. All development projects going through streamline, administrative, or full design review now must conduct community outreach before their early design guidance (EDG) meeting.
According to this new policy, “The outreach should establish a dialogue with nearby communities in order to share information about the project, better understand the context, and hear community interests and concerns about the project. The outreach must include print, digital/electronic, and in-person methods. Applicants must demonstrate that they completed the required outreach before SDCI (Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections) will schedule their EDG meeting. Previously, some applicants would voluntarily conduct outreach to the neighborhoods near their projects, but it was not required as part of the DR process.”
On Wednesday, September 5, a community outreach event will be held to provide information about a proposed development at 4907 25th Ave NE, across the street from Jiffy Lube/Office Depot where a Chase Bank branch is currently located.
Will the Chase bank branch be included in the new retail space?
Based on the information provided on the flyer, it looks like you can direct questions about the project to 25thAveNEProject@gmail.com.
