Interbay/Dravus Street Zoning Overlay |
|
The City of Seattle Department of Planning and Development is currently reviewing an application for a zoning overlay in the Interbay Village neighborhood. Read Magnolia Neighborhood Planning Council’s letter in opposition to the Interbay Zoning Overlay - Here (PDF) MNPC is not 100% opposed to development at Interbay, what it is strongly opposed to is the density and heights in particular, and wants reasonable development versus rampant development. Consistently the developers, and the proponents, of this zoning overlay have overlooked in particular quality of life issues, for Magnolia, and for the people that would have to live and work in the overlay district. They have also failed to understand the aesthetic land use principles associated with development in areas that encompass hills and valleys (PDF), principles which were developed by City of Seattle planners. W. Dravus Street is one of three access points for Magnolia. The idea of clogging up one of those access points with residential and commercial development, such that through-traffic is obstructed even more than it is now is unacceptable.
