Days or even weeks before the formal notices of Southwest Design Review Board meetings are sent out, the dates appear on the city Department of Planning and Development website, which is where we find two more early alerts, for a doubleheader meeting at the Senior Center of West Seattle on July 23rd. Both projects will be reviewed for Early Design Guidance (EDG), first of the Design Review process‘s two phases:
4801 FAUNTLEROY WAY SW: This former parking lot currently being used for The Whittaker‘s construction-project trailers (map) has its own future project proposal, as we first reported in April, and it’s now set for the 6:30 pm spot on the July 23rd SWDRB agenda. Above is David Foster Architects‘ early version of the “packet” for the meeting, as found in the city’s online files; keep in mind that since the meeting’s a month away, it might change. In the packet, the project is described as a “four-story mixed-use building with 30-40 apartments, 2-8 retail or live-work spaces. Between 0 and 7 parking spaces.” (Projects can be somewhat fluid in the EDG phase, depending on which of the potential size/shape options are viewed favorably by the board – if you browse the packet above, you’ll see the three variations proposed so far.)
5414 DELRIDGE WAY SW: No packet yet for this project that we first wrote about in February; a house (map) north of Cottage Grove Commons is proposed for demolition and replacement with a four-story building including seven residential units, 1,100 square feet of commercial/office space, and seven surface parking spaces. It’s the 8 pm project on the board’s July 23rd agenda.
