body
Recitals:
The City Council passed Ordinance 125632 on July 30, 2018, approving a contract rezone for a property located at 5201 Rainier Avenue South (Property) and accepting a Property Use and Development Agreement (PUDA).
The PUDA imposed conditions and covenants on future development of the Property.
Permitting delays, the COVID-19 pandemic, and current macroeconomic conditions make development of the project infeasible.
Eagle Rock Ventures and 5201 Rainier, LLC now seek to extend the expiration date for the PUDA and contract rezone in order to complete the development of the Property.
Pursuant to Seattle Municipal Code (SMC) subsection 23.76.060.E, the City Council may extend the time limit on a Type IV land use decision by up to two years.
The Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (SDCI) recommended that the Council approve the extension request on April 8, 2026. The SDCI recommendation is filed in Clerk File 314549.
The City Council, pursuant to SMC subsection 23.76.060.E.2, finds the extension request to be reasonable, warranted by changed circumstances from passage of Ordinance 125632, and in the public interest. Therefore,
Be it ordained by The City of Seattle as follows:
Section 1. The zoning designation established by Ordinance 125632 is extended for two years from the effective date of this ordinance.
Section 2. The Council accepts the Amended Property Use and Development Agreement (PUDA) attached to this ordinance as Exhibit A.
Section 3. The City Clerk is authorized and directed to file the amended PUDA with the King County Recorder’s Office; to file, upon return of the amended PUDA from the King County Recorder’s Office, the original amended PUDA at the City Clerk's Office; and to deliver copies of the same to the Director of the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections and to the King County Assessor's Office.
Section 4. This ordinance, effectuating a quasi-judicial decision of the City Council and not subject to referendum or mayoral approval or disapproval, shall take effect and be in force 30 days from and after its passage immediately after its passage and approval by the City Council.
