Legislation Title:  AN ORDINANCE relating to City of Seattle property commonly known as the “Northgate South Lot;” declaring as surplus certain portions of the Northgate South Lot to utility and other City needs; authorizing a lot boundary adjustment of the Northgate South Lot; authorizing the grant and acceptance of deeds and easements; and authorizing the transfer of jurisdiction of certain Northgate South Lot property from Seattle Public Utilities to the Seattle Department of Transportation.

Summary and background of the Legislation:

SPU and J.I.A. Investments LLC, a subsidiary of ERA Living, have coordinated site planning and development of the Northgate South Lot and now propose to reconfigure their respective parcels through a lot boundary adjustment.  The minor reconfiguration would exchange an equal amount of land (approximately 4,400 sq feet) between SPU and J.I.A. Investments properties. The lot boundary adjustment provides mutual benefits because it improves the design of the pedestrian and open space elements of the Thornton Creek Water Quality Channel Project and allows a senior housing community as part of the mixed-use development for the Northgate South Lot.

The legislation also grants J.I.A. Investments easements for a drainage pipe, a concrete pad and a retaining wall.  In addition, the ordinance would transfer jurisdiction of a segment of SPU’s parcel to SDOT for sidewalk operation and maintenance.

This proposed ordinance is in support of Resolution 30642 (2003) and Ordinances 122110 (May, 2006), 121546 (August, 2004) concerning development of the Northgate South Lot and further refines the property lines and location of easements to allow efficient development of both private and public facilities.
