Time for another “Local Development Roundup,” in which I collect some stories from other local sources about notable development going on in the Seattle area. The content in this month’s post comes courtesy of West Seattle Blog<\/a>, Capitol Hill Seattle<\/a>, and Queen Anne View<\/a>.<\/p>\n

West Seattle Blog:<\/strong> West Seattle development: 30-apartment, no-off-street parking 6917 California SW gets land-use approval<\/a><\/p>\n

\"West<\/a><\/div>\n

This morning the decision is in from the city Department of Planning and Development<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 land-use approval for the 30-apartments, no-parking-spaces project at 6917 California SW (map<\/a>), with DPD determining its \u201cenvironmentally non-significance,\u201d meaning the city will NOT require a full environmental-impact report. Read the decision here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

West Seattle Blog:<\/strong> As-it-happened: 4755 Fauntleroy alley-vacation hearing, standing room only; vote delayed to April 8th<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019re at City Hall for the alley-vacation hearing (process explained here<\/a>, same as \u2018street\u2019 vacation) for 4755 Fauntleroy<\/a> before the City Council\u2019s Transportation Committee<\/a><\/strong>. Standing room only. Supporters are wearing purple stickers with slogans; opponents are wearing yellow stickers with slogans.
\n…
\nFirst to speak, project opponent Deb Barker… She is a community organization leader and former Design Review Board member. She says the public benefits in the project package are not enough. She talks about the setbacks and says the alley vacation overall will \u201cwaste public land for profit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next, project supporter Sharonn Meeks, also a community-organization leader. She notes she was \u201cinvolved in this project way before it began\u201d \u2013 that included being on the Triangle Planning Group. She calls the site \u201ca blighted grayfield.\u201d She says scrapping these proposal would cost time and \u201can excellent developer.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Standing-room only at a meeting do decide whether a developer can build over the top of an alley? West Seattleites really<\/em> care about their alleys, apparently!<\/p>\n

Capitol Hill Seattle:<\/strong> Slow growth groups continue pushback on Seattle development<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

A petition CHS first shined a little daylight on back in spring 2013 is now getting big media play \u2014 and apparently the attention of Seattle City Council member Nick Licata.
\n…
\nYou can read the entire confused thing<\/a> here. In addition to the TV station article\u2019s challenges with apostrophes, the report says organizers \u201care working to hand in their petitions, signatures and letters soon to city leaders.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Capitol Hill Seattle:<\/strong> Hill\u2019s \u2018hard hat special\u2019 continues with start of 7-story E Pike Mercedes project<\/a><\/p>\n

The walls and glass are smashing down on yet another block of Pike\/Pine as demolition \u2014 and preservation \u2014 work has begun at the site of the former Mercedes Benz dealership where a seven-story, mixed-use project will eventually stand on E Pike between Belmont and Boylston. What the project will look like, more on the staggering amount of Pike\/Pine construction underway and video of giant Tonka toys in action, below.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Queen Anne View:<\/strong> Next Early Design Review for Seattle Children\u2019s Home development set for March 19th<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The proposed CamWest development for the Seattle Children\u2019s Home site is up for another Early Design Review next Wednesday, March 19th. The developer has provided several new site plans, as well as proposed building designs, in advance of the meeting.
\n…
\nTo provide feedback, attend the Early Design Guidance meeting on March 19 at the Queen Anne Community Center, 1901 1st Ave W, Room #1. The meeting begins at 6:30pm and you can find materials related to the meeting online<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
