Project Name: 7th and Aspen Master Site Plan
7th and Aspen Phases 1 and 2 Site Plan
Application: 24191 (Master Site Plan) & 24192 (Phases 1 & 2 Site
Plan)
Summary: A Master Site Plan and Site Plan application for the construction of a mixed-use development containing commercial and
residential uses on three parcels over three phases located at 706 N 7th Avenue, north of W Peach Street, south of W Aspen Street, east of
N 7th Avenue, and west of N 5th Avneue. Phase 1 will consist of a single 37,716 square feet four-story apartment building with 46
affordable rental dwellings in the center parcel and Phase 2 will consist of a single 37,716 square feet four-story apartment building
containing 50 affordable rental dwellings on the southern parcel. Phase 3 of the Master Site Plan is a future phase anticipated to contain a
single seven-story building with commercial space and approximately 75 market-rate units on the northern parcel. The applicant is
currently exploring the feasibility of an interim surface parking lot on the northern parcel. The project proposes to utilize the deep
incentives under BMC 38.380 Affordable Housing as the affordable units will consist of approximately 56% of the total dwelling units
within the entire development. The requested deep incentives include: additional stories of height within all phases per 38.380.030.B.3.c;
exemption from the special residential block frontage standards along internal pathways per 38.380.030.B.3.f.2; exemption from the
maximum façade width standards per 38.380.030.B.3.f.3; and exemption from the roofline modulation standards per 38.380.030.B.3.f.4.
Phases 1 and 2 will be accessed by a single existing vehicle approach off N 7th Avenue and the primary building entrances for both
buildings will also be located on the west side along N 7th Avenue. A surface parking lot containing 23 spaces will be shared between
buildings in Phases 1 and 2, and 6 on-street parking spaces are located along N 7th Avenue for a total of 29 parking spaces. The site is
located within the Midtown Urban Renewal District which does not require a minimum number of parking spaces to be provided with the
development per BMC 38.540.050.A.6.d. The applicant is requesting departures from four code sections: the minimum required building
placement per the Landscaped block frontage standards in BMC 38.510.030.C; the light and air setback adjacent to the northern property
line between Phases 1 and 3 per BMC 38.520.030.C; the required screening of ground related service areas per BMC 38.520.070.B.3; and a
reduction in usable open space by 20% per BMC 38.320.070 Departures for housing creation. Additionally, this application includes
associated design and infrastructure improvements pertaining to open space, vehicular and bicycle parking, landscaping, irrigation,
lighting, and pedestrian pathways.
