DISCUSSED AT MULTIPLE TABLES: Increase heights and/or MHA fee levels here. (65-75’ heights?) Longfellow Place is a good precedent for this. Stormwater treatment could also be considered here. Transition and displacement concerns. Like idea of expanding commercial corridor and adding density along Delridge Way. Columbia City is one vision for this area. Potential for boulevard character. LR1 is too low, when considering surrounding topography. Consider mixed-use to activate Barton and address bus and land-use incompatibility. Also, enhance E-W pedestrian corridors. Consider for higher density (NC-3 (40).) Concerns about potential displacement of elderly residents. Assess impacts of higher density here. Concerns about increased height with topography. LR1 or RSL may be better here. Consider higher-density here Consider higher- density here. Better connections to White Center are desirable.
