PROJECT GOALS 1. Provide a contemporary interpretation of Seattle’s historic wood- -sided residences that establishes a new development precedent for its immediate context. 2. Create an affordable infill project in a central neighborhood with access to plentiful services and excellent transportation. 3. Create high-quality, accessible housing with excellent daylighting, views, and connectivity to outdoor amenities.
PROPOSALThe project proposes to remove the existing 2 story, 4-unit residential structure and replace it with a 3 story apartment building containing 18 residential units. The project is located within the Unirveristy District Northwest Urban Center Village and thus does not provide parking.

ANALYSIS OF CONTEXT
The proposal site is located in the University District Northwest Urban Center Village on the west side of 15th Ave NE, a minor arterial, between NE 55th St and NE 56th St. It is currently occupied by a 2-story, 4 unit apartment building to be demolished. The project site is approximately a quarter mile south of Cowen Park and Ravenna Park. Bus lines #45, #71, and #73 connect the site to the University of Washington light rail station to the south and to Loyal Heights, Wedgewood, and Jackson Park, respectively. Protected bike lanes are provided along NE Ravenna Blvd and Roosevelt Way NE. 12th Ave NE is an existing neighborhood greenway which features a safer, calmer residential street where walking and biking is the priority.

ANALYSIS OF CONTEXT
The proposal is sited on the west boundary of an LR3 zone. Along University Ave NE (west of the project site) is a Neighborhood/Commercial zone, where north of NE 55th St is more specifically NC2P-40 and south of NE 55th St is NC3P-65. East of 15th Ave NE is a large area of SF 5000 zoning. West of University Way NE and north of NE 55th St is also zoned as SF 5000. South of NE 55th St is an LR2 zone. The majority of buildings along 15th Ave NE are utilized as multi-family. Reflective of its zoning, structures along University Way NE feature both mixed-use and commercial uses. Single family residences border the LR3 and Neighborhood/Commercial zones.

SITE ANALYSISSURVEY + SITE FEATURESSURVEY
The site is mid-block and roughly 40’ x 100’. It is currently occupied by a two story 4-plex that will be demolished. The topography is relatively flat across most of the site and drops about 4 feet at the western third of the lot. Just across the west portion of the north property line is a block wall which retains about 4 1/2 feet of soil. At the west property line is an existing 4 ft wide rockery easement, beneficial to the City of Seattle, as per King Co. Rec. No. 6509027. There is one tree on the property of the north neighbor and two trees on the property of the south neighbor.
Legal Description:Lot 6, Block 1, H.S. Turner and Co.’s University Addition to the City of Seattle, according to the Plat thereof recorded in Volume 11 of Plats, page 27, Records of King County, WA.

PROPOSED DESIGNPRIORITY GUIDELINESSTREET-LEVEL INTERACTION1. (PL3.A-1) Entries: Multi-story Residential BuildingThe doorway into the project is recessed into the building mass to provide an obvious, identifiable, and distinctive entrance. A canopy accentuates the depth of the entry and helps to demarcate the entrance. The entrance is accessed by stairs or ramp since it is raised 18” above street grade. A material transition to tonge and groove cedar adds warmth to the sheltered entrance.
ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT2. (DC2.IV-ii) Architectural Elements and MaterialsThe interior finish of the building vestibule, and lobby features a wood-clad accent wall. The wood provides warmth and a fine-grain texture for residents entering and exiting the building.
OPEN SPACE CONCEPT3. (DC3.B-3) Open Space Uses and ActivitiesThe exterior courtyard is located adjacent to the building lobby. Large, floor to ceiling windows and a glazed double door connect the entrance and stair lobby to the courtyard. During fair weather, the doors can be propped opened to allow for one seamless outdoor/indoor amenity area.
NATURAL SYSTEMS AND SITE FEATURES4. (CS1.B-2) Daylight and ShadingThe building mass is knotched approximately at the center of the southern elevation. The subtracted volume allows southern light and air to penetrate into the units, corridor, and lobby.

PROPOSED DESIGNPRIORITY GUIDELINES
ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT5. (DC2.A-1) Site Characteristics + Uses
The building entrance is oriented to the southeast corner as a gesture to the University of Washington. Most pedestrian traffic is expected to approach the apartment from the south.
EXTERIOR ELEMENTS + FINISHES6. (DC4.A-1) Exterior Finish Materials
The proposed design utilizes fiber-cement board siding that expresses as v-groove wood siding. It references the wood-siding that is commonly found on many Seattle residences in the surrounding neighborhood. The width of the siding module is 7” and provides the building with a fine-grain texture.
7. (PL3.B-2) Ground Level ResidentialResidential units at ground level are buffered from the sidewalk by an accessible ramp. The ramp is angled away from the building, resulting in an area for a planting bed. These plants help to provide further separation from the right of way.

PRIVACY STUDIESSOUTH ELEVATIONElevations were drawn to study privacy conflicts between the proposed design and the neighboring buildings to the north and south. There are two existing trees located on the property of the south neighbor. These trees currently screen the level 1 windows between the proposed lobby and neighbor. The bathroom window on level 2 and remaining conflicting windows on level 1 will be screened for privacy. The overlap of glazing on levels 2 and 3 are not of major concern since they are located in the corridor and not an occupied unit.

The bathroom window on level 3 will be screened for privacy. The overlap of glazing on level 3 is not of major concern since it is located within the stairwell and not an occupied unit.

Corresponding Design Guideline:
Proposed Design Adjustment:
Rationale:
SMC 23.45.518
Table A - 5’ minimum side setback for facades 40 feet or less in length is required for apartments. SDR allows adjustments to decreaset the setbacks and separations by 50 percent.
PL1.I-i - Residential Open Space; DC3.B-3 - Open Space Uses and Activities
Building imposes into 5’ side setback by 2’-6” or 2.5’/5’ = 50% setback adjustment requested.
The portion of the structure that imposes into the setback allows the courtyard to be better utilized for seating and gathering. It increases the depth of the courtyard from 10’ to 12.5’. A planting buffer helps to separate the amenity area from the south neighbor. A fence will be installed for privacy and as a guard. The total height of the planting buffer and fence is less than 6’-0” from grade and therefore is not considered a structure.
Section perspective at the courtyard looking east.
