Following the designation of South Lake Union as an Urban Center in 2004, a two year community process resulted in City Council's recognition of the South Lake Union neighborhood plan in the fall of 2006. A part of this plan calls for studying increased development capacity, the Urban Form Study. Development of the Urban Form alternatives was informed through a broad-based community participation process that was co-sponsored by the South Lake Union Friends and Neighbors Community Council and included the participation of a broad cross-section of community stakeholders. At the Open House you will have the opportunity to learn about the alternatives that the City is proposing to study, how they will be studied, offer your comments, and hear about future opportunities to participate in this effort.

SLUFAN
Recommends a Range of Alternatives for EIS
|
The South Lake Union Friends and
Neighbors Community Council at its Board meeting on June 3, 2008,
voted unanimously to forward a range of three alternatives for
increased height and density of the South Lake Union neighborhood to
Mayor Greg Nickels and to the City’s Department of Planning and
Development for consideration. These options follow the City’s
designation of the neighborhood as an Urban Center to accept greater
density as the city grows. Later this year the Department of
Planning and Development will select alternatives to be studied in
the South Lake Union Urban Form Environmental Impact Study (EIS).
The City will also consider a no-action alternative, as is the case
with all Environmental Impact Statements.
