I. NATURE OF APPLICATION
A. Request
The applicant is proposing a binding site plan to change the existing properties lines and create a Tract
for the stormwater pond. Currently,the subject property is split zoned between Medical Services (MS)
and Residential High-Capacity (RH) zoning designations. The MS zoning regulation will apply in
accordance with City Code provisions for split zoning conditions.The proposal includes the construction
of a three-story 30,000-square-foot Medical Office Building.Additional site improvements will include
surface parking,stormwater improvements,utility connections,perimeter and interior landscaping.
The proposed Medical Office Building will operate exclusively as an outpatient facility. Hours of
operation will generally fall between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.,though exact hours are subject to change.
Ambulance services will not be provided on site; the only circumstance in which an ambulance would
arrive is in response to a 911 emergency,consistent with any other public location.
A driveway is proposed onto 212th Street N.E. near the southwest corner of the subject property and
furthest away from the intersection with Medical Center Drive.Additionally,a driveway to be located at
the northwest corner of the subject property is proposed onto Medical Center Drive. The building is
proposed near the southeast corner of the subject property near the intersection corner. All parking
areas are located to the side and rear of the building.
Grading will include site preparation for hardscapes, landscaping, the building, and retaining walls.
Approximate quantities of grading activities are 7,000 cubic yards of cut and 8,000 cubic yards of fill,
with a total affected area of 2.48 acres.
The building will be constructed with a variety of high-quality building materials including textured
concrete, metal panels (simulated wood), and brick veneer. The building includes three stories and
stands at a height of 43 feet 6 inches. The building's facade includes several large windows situated
inside various bays spaced at 20 feet.The building features a prominent entrance with a dark grey glass
door surrounded by glass panels.

Regulation Analysis Meets
Development Design Standards
1.0 Street Character and Liveliness The proposed medical facility has been
designed so that its street-facing fagades
appear active and inhabited.Due to the
existing grade difference between the
street and the building pad,accessible
walkways,ramps,and landscaped
transitions have been carefully integrated Yes
to bridge this elevation change onto
Medical Center Drive.These features
ensure that despite the grade separation,
the project maintains a visible and
welcoming presence at the street edge
and activates the pedestrian realm.
2.0 Pedestrian Environment Retaining walls are proposed along both
rights-of-way and will be constructed
with
a textured face.Landscape setbacks and
planting standards are still satisfied after Yes
consideration of the retaining walls.The
site plan incorporates perimeter
landscaped beds along all public street
frontages and property edges adjacent to
parking.
3.0 Landscape Design The Landscape Plan for the project
proposes a combination of Vine Maple
and
Western Red Cedar trees along the public Yes
right-of-way.The trees were selected to
be compatible with the existing
landscape planting areas within the
vicinity of the site
4.0 Transition Between Occupied Spaces This proposal does not include
and Street residential units. Yes
5.0 Neighborhood Character The primary building frontage is oriented
toward Medical Center Drive,consistent
with the corridor's institutional and
medical character.While portions of the
site are buffered by required parking and
landscaping,the building massing and
entry placement establish a consistent Yes
rhythm with neighboring development.
Landscaping along the perimeter
reinforces the street edge and softens
transitions to surface parking..The main
entry is clearly visible from the street,
establishing a presence that contributes
to the area's identity.

Page 9 of 25
Regulation Analysis Meets
6.0 Adjacent Properties The nearest residential uses are located
on the opposite side of Medical Center
Drive.This separation,combined with the
street right-of-way and existing grade
difference,helps provide additional
screening and a buffer from the nearest
residential uses.The project does not
include rear-yard projections that extend
into residential lots.All building massing
is contained within required setbacks.All
surface parking areas along the street
frontage are buffered with landscaped Yes
screening beds designed to minimize the
potential for headlight glare and limit
direct views into first-floor windows of
residences across the street.The
perimeter landscape plan includes street
trees and shrub beds along Medical
Center Drive,which soften views into the
parking lot.These plantings, combined
with site grading,reduce visibility of
parked cars from residential vantage
points.
7.0 Siting Off-street parking stalls are located to the
side and rear of the building.No parking
is proposed within the front-yard setback
areas, ensuring that the building frontage
and landscaping define the street edge
rather than vehicle areas.No parking has
been placed directly at the intersection
corner; instead,the corner is landscaped
to maintain visibility,safety,and an Yes
attractive street presence.Driveways are
limited and positioned so that parking
and vehicular areas do not dominate the
street frontage.Alley access is not
available for this site.Parallel to street
parking is not provided directly adjacent
to the site due to the functional
classification of Medical Center Drive and
traffic safety considerations.
8.0 Transit Facilitation A transit stop is provided within walking
distance of this site.Sidewalks and
crosswalks are provided along the route. Yes
The current bus stop provides weather
protection and seating.

9.Architectural Character The massing is a simple square and
minimizes solar heat gain through
windows by limiting fenestration where
low,western light becomes problematic in
warming months.The building opens the
majority of its windows to the north,east,
and south where street trees and longer
views of the surrounding area can be
found.The building is closer to the west
side,responding to the location of the
existing Helipad.The building uses a
background material (concrete)with two
other primary cladding types to define
simple,harmonic 1/3 vs 2/3 asymmetries yes
around the building.The concrete
background,with a consistent rhythm of
paired windows,ties all equal facades
together.At the main entry,there is a deep
overhang,large windows,and an entry
vestibule which the cladding types
respond to.An overhang accent is used at
the skyline of the building to create a
shadow line and cast rain away from the
upper walls. Flat rooflines,consistent
window rhythm patterns,deep entry
overhangs,and street setbacks are all
incorporated into the design of the
proposed building.
10. Character and Massing Deep overhangs at all entry and exits
create shadow-lines and interest,along
with a pairing of the wood material,to
define and orient the user to the parts and
pieces of the building.Human scaled
windows and masonry units are used on
all elevations to ground the building to the
user experience. Material modulations,
along with paired windows and trim,are
used to define elements of the building. yes
The main entry and commons spaces are
defined by larger expanses of glass and
wood above. Fenestration patterns keep
the building organized and we hope that
in the evening,these will glow and create
a classic,formal set of facades on the site's
corner.Cladding effectively breaks down
the overall mass of the building both
vertically at the third floor and
horizontally throughout.

11.Architectural Elements All entries employ an overhang that
does not exceed the height of the second
floor.Windows are recessed into
adjacent cladding types to the base
concrete wall.Wood plank and brick
materials are easily recognized on all
facades to be comfortable to the human Yes
scale.Larger areas of fenestration and a
deep entry roof with vestibule is used to
call attention to the main entry.
Secondary and tertiary entries also have
larger glass doors and overhangs,but do
not match the main entry.
