The City Council approved a contract rezone of the 34,654-sqft site at 8601 Fremont Avenue N from Neighborhood Residential 3 (NR3) to Lowrise 2 with an (M1) Mandatory Housing Affordability suffix (LR2 (M1)). Under the new zoning, the project can deliver 53 affordable housing units in two three-story buildings, with required on-site parking and compliance with Chapters 23.58B and 23.58C (MHA). The rezone facilitates a transition in height and density between the adjacent NC3-55 (M) zone to the south and single-family zones to the west and east. The ordinance adopts the Hearing Examiner’s findings and conditions including a Property Use and Development Agreement (PUDA) to ensure substantial conformance with approved Master Use Permit plans. This decision finalizes the legislative rezoning action and enables the project’s affordable housing performance under Seattle Municipal Code features.
