Construct a new 21-unit apartment building that enhances the vibrant
streetscape of 12th Avenue East. Building will be a contemporary model of
Capitol Hill living with open plan units, plenty of glass and a recognizable ad-

GUIDELINES
SITE
Each alternave scheme will address the flowing Design Guidel
A1.1 Applicable Design Guidelines
A-1 Responding to Site Characteriscs.
The site is essenally flat at 12th Avenue, in the north/south
project will add to the emerging street wall at 12th Avenue.
A-2 Streetscape Compability.
The streetscape along 12th Avenue is widely varied. It has eme
large single-family homes, most of which have been turned in
buildings, to a more urban/residenal streetscape. The imme
zoned L3. New construcon is a mix of townhouse infill and a
eclecc texture of the street, even in this period of transion
the character.
A-3 Entrances Visible from the Street.
Ground floor units, facing 12th Avenue, will each have an ent
the street, each with a defining stoop condion. The common e
per floor units, will be accessed from the sidewalk, too.
A-5 Respect for Adjacent Sites.
The proposed project occupies a parcel that is adjacent to L3 zo
ety of exisng condions, from modified single-family to townh
ments. To the extent possible the project, the proposal will fit in
dions and uses
B-1 Height, Bulk, and Scale Compability.
The project will be compable with the height, bulk and scale o
ing buildings. This parcel is a n LR3 zone, with a 40 foot height lim
inside an Urban Village overlay). The proposed project will be
feet for a parally below grade floor, as allowed by Code.
C-1 Architectural Context.
The project will be similar in scale (width and height) to the bui
and new, in the immediate area.
D-7 Personal Safety and Security.
The apartments will be designed with ample glazing on the st
cially at ground level, to encourage eyes on the street.

NEIGHBORING DEVELOPMENT
12th Avenue East is a mix of predominantly residenal use
ground floor retail uses. Ground floor retail, and some com
on upper floors, is more predominant south of Denny, with
uses each block closer to Pine and Pike. The most commerc

urban design analysisVEHICULAR ACCESS
The site fronts 12th Avenue East, a major north/south arterial on Capitol Hill.
There is no alley on this block.
East Denny Way, one lot to the south, is a major east/west arterial on Capi-
tol Hill. Denny connects east Capitol Hill with Broadway, west Capitol Hill and
Downtown.
The site shares an 11-foot wide access easement with the parcel to the north.
This easement will allow for loading access to building. There is no on site park-
ing provided in this proposal.
TRANSIT ACCESS
The site is well served by transit. There are major Metro bus routes on 12th
Avenue East, East John Street, Broadway East, and 15th Avenue East.
The Broadway Sound Transit Link Light Rail staon is (will be) at Broadway and
Denny, 3 blocks to the west.
BICYCLE ACCESS
Capitol Hill includes a number of Bike Lanes and Sharrow marked traffic lanes.
12th Avenue East, East John Street, Broadway East, and 15th Avenue East are all
marked Bike Routes.
PEDESTRIAN ACCESS
Capitol Hill is one of the most densely developed neighborhoods in Seale. The
high density and mixed uses, and extensive sidewalk network encourage walk-
ing. Pedestrian access to the site is outstanding.
ACCESS CONSTRAINTS
There are no constraints to access to this site.
