MGP Proposed Process

  • Conceptual plans described more in a short plat application to City
  • Merlone Geier may adopt the FEIS as part of its environmental review
  • Merlone Geier’s proposal will address the possibility that Sound Transit may

construct a parking garage on a portion of our property

  • Chapter 18.42 of the City’s Code outlines the process of a development agreement
  • The development agreement must be approved by the City Council
  • Public input on the development agreement may occur
  • The development agreement would likely address elements of the Vision,

applicable City Code and Design Guideline standards, alternative designs and design departures

MGP Proposed Process

  • The development agreement will allow for redevelopment in phases and flexibility

to adapt to changes in the market

  • The development agreement would not focus on specific building designs, but it

could address building aesthetics

  • All existing tenant leases will remain in full force and effect as it relates to a

development agreement

  • Changes to leases or business operations related to Sound Transit impacts are to

be dealt with through a separate process directly with Sound Transit

  • We anticipate that Merlone Geier’s plans will fall within the scope of existing

Comprehensive Plan Policies and the Subarea Plan for Town Center

  • Land use and building permit applications would follow in phases
