West Seattle development: New proposal for once-controversial Junction site – 4 units instead of 40

Checking what’s new in the city’s online permit files, we happened onto a new proposal for a familiar address: 4439 41st SW in The Junction.

Last year, a proposal to replace its single-family house with a 40-unit, 5-offstreet-parking-space apartment building drew neighborhood concern, which led to a special city meeting for comments on the project in May 2014. DPD records indicate that reviews for the apartment-building project continued into the early part of this year – and then the activity stopped.

Now there are two new early-stage land-use applications shown for the address, one for a “lot boundary adjustment” – the site currently consists of three lots zoned Lowrise 2 – and another for a four-unit rowhouse building facing 41st, with four offstreet parking spaces off the alley to the west.

This is the third proposal in three years for the site; the 40-apartment plan had been preceded by one proposing eight townhouses.

    I can’t tell from the documents, is this 4 – 10 studio microhouse units?

Sorry, comment time is over.
