More Fun with Maps: New Developments Edition
In December a tool was brought online that mashes up Google Maps with DPD info- you zoom to any place on the map and review DPD proposals in detail from the drop pin. For instance, here’s the triangle development at midvale and 45th talked about at the last WCC meeting, and here’s the CVS building. Below is a snapshot of the entire neighborhood, click to go to the interactive site:
Thank you. The maps are very informative. This is the first time that I see the CVS project building. It looks like they are preserving the terracotta cornice bricks. I hope the mural by the bus stop is preserved too. I think overall, it is a good design for our neighborhood.
Somewhat related: DPD is looking to improve their design review process, and is soliciting feedback. There is a bit more information and a link to a survey on the DPD website.

Wow, the building going in where Sutra is right now is one of the ugliest I’ve seen in my life. How do these things get approved?
Thanks for linking to the triangle development at 45th and Midvale. There was some confusion on an earlier thread as to whether that building would be on the little greenspace there. I’m glad to see that it isn’t.
Zoom out on the map and note that there are few of these development projects going in Laurelhurst, Magnolia, or Windermere. Could be coincidence, but just saying.
Encourage everyone to write to City Council members, especially our future district rep, asking that,
1) Residents of supposed “driverless” projects should not be allowed to purchase an RPZ permit .
2) Residential Urban Villages should be treated different than the two higher density designations, by requiring at least 1/2 a parking place per unit of on-site parking for projects within 1/4-mile of primary transit routes (current is zero spots). R.U.V. such as Wallingford often have much closer single-family residences to main arterials, and also usually have struggling business districts.
Do it! Make your opinion heard!
