ZONING SUMMARY
Anticipated project # 3033807-EG
50,000 SF of commercial grocery store
with approx 310 residential units and
354 below grade parking stalls
Orientation
The site is a mid-block parcel bound
by Queen Anne Ave N. to the west and
an alley to the east.
55’
Existing Character
The project sits at the top of Queen
Anne Hill within a growing commercial
corridor that is surrounded by a single-
family zone. The buildings along
Queen Anne Ave N. include a wide
range of mixed-use, commercial, retail,
and office buildings clad in a variety
of materials. Most larger buildings
are clad in brick with steel accents
whereas some business exist within
adapted single-family homes.
Recent Upzone
The commercial area along Queen
Anne Ave N. is part of a recent up-
zone (March 2019) from NC2P-40 to
NC2P-55 (M) and new development is
expected in the future.

Description
Alternative 1 proposes a compact, 5-story, barbell scheme with a light
court carved out at the center. The Commercial space is setback
at the ground level, responding to the pedestrian street context and
providing users with a covered entry.
In order to avoid the high voltage line on the northeast corner of the
property this option is further setback from the alley. The light court
ensures that units on the interior still have access to natural light. The
light court will be landscaped and inaccessible to the residents.
Program
• Approximately 40 apartment units
• Approximately 4 parking spaces

ALTERNATIVE 1
Advantages
• The light court breaks down the massing of the building, reducing
the perceived scale of the project and allows light into the central
units.
12 September 2019 • Larger setback along the Alley
• 5-Story option allows for potential mezzanine in commercial space
• No departures required
Challenges
• Light court is narrow and units may become less desirable as new
projects are developed adjacent to this building in the future.
• Upper level setbacks along Queen Anne Ave. difficult to incorporate
while meeting development objectives.

Challenges
• Light courts are narrow and units may become less desirable as
new projects are developed adjacent to this building in the future.
• Building out to the edge of the alley can overwhelm the single-
family context that is adjacent to the project.
• This option would require a departure to the setback requirement at
the alley due to the larger setback to accommodate the HV power
lines and the second light well.

Advantages
• Large courtyard provides light to units, corridor, and commercial
space.
• Setbacks at upper level along both the street and alley reduce
12 September 2019 perceived building mass along the street edge as well as the
single-family context.
• Offers potential to transition to SF zone using material change for
east wing.
Challenges
• 6-Story building will require thinner floor framing
• 6-Story building has lower ceiling heights
• Mezzanine in commercial space not possible
