The Land Use Application has been filed with Seattle's Dept. of Construction and Inspections for a seven-story apartment building with 241 units (24 small efficiency dwelling units; 217 apartment units) and 15 live-work units at 4722 Fauntleroy Way SW.
Retail would be located at street-level. Parking for 241 vehicles will be provided at, and below grade. The existing structure would be demolished.
The project comes after CVS Pharmacy pulled out in 2016 and the property is now being developed by Legacy Partners and designed by Encore Architects.

Applications requiring shoreline approvals are subject to an initial 30-day comment period. All other land use approvals listed below are subject to an initial 14-day comment period. A 14 day comment period may be extended an additional 14 days provided a written request to extend the comment period is received by this Department within the initial 14-day comment period as published in this bulletin.

The project file, including application plans, environmental documentation and other additional information related to the project, is available in our electronic library at web6.seattle.gov/dpd/edms/. Public computers, to view these files, are available at the SDCI Public Resource Center, 700 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000. The Public Resource Center

Questions about the project can also be directed to the Public Resource Center at the email and US mail address listed above. To the extent known by the Department, other necessary government approvals or permits not included in the application are listed. When a building permit is listed as being necessary, this may include associated electrical, plumbing, mechanical, elevator, and other similar permits.
SDCI is now using the Early Review Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) process for all applications requiring a threshold determination when SDCI has reasonable basis to believe that significant adverse impacts are not likely, and the Director expects to issue a DNS for the proposal. The DNS is not final until it is published following consideration of all comments received during the comment period.
The comment period for a project subject to an Early Review DNS may be the only opportunity to submit comment on the environmental impacts of the proposal. Mitigation measures may be imposed on projects subject to the Early Review DNS process After the close of the comment period, SDCI will review any comments and will either issue a DNS followed by an opportunity to appeal, or, if significant environmental impacts are identified, a DS/Scoping notice. Copies of the subsequent threshold determination for the proposal may be obtained upon request or from our electronic library at web6.seattle.gov/dpd/edms/.
Numbers used in project descriptions are approximations. The final approved plans will control.
Interpretations
A formal decision as to the meaning, application or intent of any development regulation in Title 23 (Land Use Code) or Chapter 25.09 (Regulations for Environmentally Critical Areas) is known as an "interpretation". Examples include questions of how structure height or setback is properly measured, or how a proposed use should be categorized.
Interpretations may be requested by any party during the comment period as determined above. The request must be in writing, and accompanied by a $3,150.00 minimum fee payable to the City of Seattle. (This fee covers the first ten hours of review. Additional hours will be billed at $315.00.) Interpretations on some issues may also be requested later, during the appeal period, if the project decision is appealed. Failure to request an interpretation can preclude raising the issue on appeal. Questions regarding the interpretation process may be sent to
PRC@seattle.gov (please include “Interpretation Information” in the subject line) or by calling the message line at (206) 684-8467. Requests for interpretation may be submitted to the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections, Code Interpretation and Implementation Group, 700 5th Ave Ste 2000, P.O. Box 34019, Seattle, WA 98124-4019.
Enough! We do not have sufficient roadways. We do not need more streets clogged with parked vehicles. It is a safety hazard! You cannot see the pedestrian and the pedestrian cannot see the moving vehicles. Vehicles cannot see other vehicles coming and going in and out of driveways. More vehicles will be stopped to turn here and there. Codes and Rules need to be changed so that developers must provide as much and more parking spaces for their size and units. This is a great problem. Cars will get backed up long on Fauntleroy and right in front of the park where children play every day. Enough! What is wrong with you people who are allowing this to happen? No foresight of the impending danger or even the present danger caused by too much obstruction from view.
