The early preferred design for Compass Housing Alliance's low-income housing development in Ballard presented at a Feb. 8 meeting.
The Seattle Department of Planning and Development is hosting back-to-back meetings June 14 to review the environmental impacts and design of Compass Housing Alliance's 80-unit low-income housing development Urness House.
Urness House, to be located at 1753 N.W. 56th St., will house formerly homeless men and women and provide onsite treatment facilities for physical and medical conditions. It is being operated by the nonprofit Compass Housing Alliance.
The environmental review meeting will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on June 14 at Ballard High School. During the meeting, the public will be able to comment on potential environmental impacts of the project, including traffic, parking and public safety.
The design review meeting for the project will take place immediately after the environmental review meeting, at 8 p.m. The meeting is a follow up to the Feb. 8 design meeting.
During the previous design meeting, the Northwest Design Review Board encouraged Compass Center and architects Weinstein AU to look at plantings along the street, detailing on the north and south sides of the building and public safety in the alley.
