Conceptual rendering based on the preferred scheme.

Capitol Hill Housing is transforming the 29,000 square foot East Precinct parking lot, located along 12th and Pine, into a mixed-used development benefiting local residents, the Seattle Police Department, small business owners, non-profit organizations, and community arts groups. Currently called 12th Avenue Arts, the development presents a unique opportunity to create a neighborhood cultural center, built sustainably, that reflects the character and meets the needs of the Capitol Hill community. This project will directly address the neighborhoods need for affordable housing creating 88 affordable apartments for residents at 30-60% of median income. These

are working family and individuals who would otherwise be priced out of living in Seattle. The central location of this development ensures that residents will live in a transit-rich neighborhood connecting them to critical human services, job opportunities, and cultural experiences. In consultation with leaders of the arts community, CHH will design and build performing arts space to be located on the first two floors of the building. This space will be offered at an affordable rate ensuring that local arts and community groups will be able to contribute to the cultural identity and vibrancy of the neighborhood now and

for years to come. Currently the site is owned by the City and controlled by the Seattle Police Department. The project will provide underground parking, storage, and infrastructure needs for East Precinct officers. Community safety meetings for the public will also be held in the development. The City of Seattle and Capitol Hill reached an agreement to move forward with property development in June 2011. The development has secured City of Seattle and State Housing Trust Fund funding. Construction will start in late 2012.

PROGRAMMATIC CONTEXT In one important way, 12th Avenue Arts is a civic building, and as such, it will serve the neighborhood with a strong physical presence. The contemporary arts context is a mixed bag of scale and style. Small scale Arts and Performance spaces are everywhere, like Richard Hugo House, a single family residence transformed. Similar in an introverted presence, Century Ballroom provides a great space in a mixed use context. Two buildings with a stronger civic presence are Lee Center for the Arts, on a small scale, and Broadway Performance Hall on a larger scale both built in the context of an academic institution.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT The neighborhood plan strongly emphasizes the historical context. This is the auto row context of Pike/Pine however this context is not reinforced along 12th Avenue [Please see the panoramas on the previous pages for the context of 12th Avenue]. There is much to learn from older retail structures: human scale proportions; large areas of glass; a visual dominance of the lower floor contrasted with the rhythmic background of the upper levels.

Moving beyond the historic, the quality that we want to convey is that of a civic vision, a vision for the future. The public components of the project should be brought to the forefront and emphasized in striking way.

Context 08

CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT Newer buildings in the neighborhood generally cover several parcels, and have an allowable height limit of 65. Breaking up these large buildings has taken on several forms, including: large massing changes (Trace Lofts); strong corners and material changes (Broadway Crossing); and a multifaceted approach of step-backs, bays, decks, canopies, massing changes and material changes (the Broadway). Materially, newer buildings are also quite different. Brick has been replaced with concrete or stone or even omitted. Flat panels of metal or cement fiber board accent large areas of glass. What was cheap rental space at the ground level, often occupied by small incubator businesses, is transforming into destination dining, popular bars, and unique retail.

EDG SUMMARY

We found four over-arching topics to address through the EDG process, and in comments from DPD.

Knitting together multiple elements Four programmatic pieces compose the street-facing facade: 1. permeable entrances, including theater, retail and lobby/vestibules at the ground floor; 2. solid service areas, including the garage entry, trash pick-up, theater loading and structural elements, also at the ground level; 3. office level marquee, second level; 4. composed residential levels, levels 3-6. Connecting these four visual elements of the building together was a priority of the board. At the southwest corner we have aligned all floors to meet in a single, vertical plane. The materiality, color and texture used at the residential levels also extends through to the ground floor level at this point. This creates a strong anchor for the overall building and also serves as the hinge point from which the residential floors rotate to the northeast. The pedestrian oriented portions of the ground level form a consistent transparency along the street, and screen the structural elements behind. These structural elements hide and reveal themselves along the street and then become quiet but strong north west building anchor. Similar to the wrapping of the residential levels down, here the base wraps up into the office level. The office level remains largely distinct within the limits at the north and south ends. Elements of the marquee help connect to the main lobby by way of integrated building signage.

Hierarchy of entrances There are four types of entry to the building as well: 1. great lobby, primarily to welcome office users in the morning and theater go-ers in the evening. 2. retail frontage in two sections; 3. residential, warm and private; 4. police, both vehicular and pedestrian; Each element will have a subtle, but unique handling of scale, glass, mullions, operation and color. Please see the following pages for more detail.

Strengthen retail There was a concern that the retail area as shown at the EDG meeting would not create a successful retail environment We addressed this in four ways: 1. retail spaces now meet grade, eliminating the barriers to the sidewalk previously shown steps, benches and bike racks have been removed; 2. increased the ceiling height from 12 (minimum) to 14 (minimum). Ceiling height increases to 16 as the retail spaces step down to the south. The increased height results in greater transparency; 3. reduced the overhang of the second floor to a maximum of 6 at the retail spaces; 4. added cadence to the storefront system that is consistent with historical neighborhood patterns and contemporary operability. Additionally, the development and design team have met with several local leasing agents, retail store owners, restaurateurs, and architects of commercial spaces to review the current design and confirm that our assumptions are in line with best practices for making commercial spaces as broadly appealing and flexible as possible.

Neighborhood relationships The rotation of the upper residential floors helps mitigate the affect of the building massing by improving solar access to neighboring properties and pulling the mass back to respect the privacy of adjacent sites. The building sets back from the apartment building to the south to maintain light and air access to the residential units facing north. This buffer also creates a small court that provides an access point to the theater shop and a sheltered spot for short-term bicycle parking. Similarly, a recess at the north east corner of the building at the office level takes the scale down along this edge

EDG Response 13

Solid, safe police entrance The solid building blocks that form the north anchor of the building unify the service elements and create the background for the remainder of the first level. A change in the pattern of the sidewalk, along with signage (indicating private parking), identify the vehicular entry. A deep recess allows a large vehicle to pause while entering or exiting the parking structure without impeding the sidewalk or the garage doors, facilitating a safe crossing for pedestrians and drivers alike. We have added transparency to the police entrance, a lantern which transitions to the neighboring site. At the same time, we are maintaining the anonymity that the police requires the public face of the SPD being one block away. The intent here is to calm and deactivate areas that will see vehicular traffic and encourage pedestrians to pass through to the public spaces beyond. Combining the trash room access with the parking entry is not an option due to SPD security concerns.

garage doors for the trash room will have a mesh pattern painted to match the building color palette

Entrances Study 14

Highly visible civic entrance The focus of the building is on the central lobby which will operate throughout the day providing access for office, retail and theater users. Changes in paving, planting, materials glass, lighting and signage all distinguish the main entry from the adjoining retail spaces.

Gracious, welcoming residential entrance Quiet and grounded by solid materials to either side, along with tactile materials (such as a wood door) form a dignified residential entrance. Transparency is still provided, but it is more of a veil: welcoming, but semi-private. Behind this veil a small gathering space to allow for tenants to wait for friends and shelter from the rain.

Flexible retail spaces A continuous pattern of a wood or wood-clad aluminum storefront system provides warmth and identity to the retail spaces. Extra space has been provided for retail tenants to activate at the exterior sidewalk, as well as within the lobby, to encourage neighborhood connection. Additionally, we have addressed the following comments provided at EDG: Retail entrances are flush with the sidewalk and uninterrupted by site features; Ceiling height is now 14-0 or greater; the overhang of the office level is now 6-0 or less.

Residential / Retail Entry 16

Great Lobby and Retail Storefront Transparency at the main entrance allows pedestrians to observe the activity within. Retail spaces bleed out into the lobby, while office and theater uses keep the facade active for most of the day. Retail storefronts have their own unique pattern,solid and tactile. Sliding door open to the extended sidewalk. Blade signs identify spaces. A strip of lighting along the front edge of the second level overhang illuminates the sidewalk by night.

Height, Bulk and Scale Compatibility The building is compatible with the scale of the ongoing neighborhood development, and works to transition to the Low-Rise zone to the east.

Respect for Adjacent Sites By rotating the upper building, we create a more viable space both east and west of the residential building for tenants and neighbors. A thin court along the south property line, while not required, provides necessary building access and breathing room for the existing apartment building to the south. This upper building rotation also benefits neighbors to the north by allowing additional afternoon and evening sun through. No blank walls are proposed at the upper residential levels. For Level 1 & 2, along the north and east elevations, the building is articulated by clerestories, deck spaces on multiple levels, and blank walls will be treated with rustication joints and architectural railings. We still require two departures in the back: the first to provide adequate ceiling height in the mainstage theater space at Level 2; the second is at the upper residential levels above 40 (see subsequent description under departures).

The remaining 20% of the street frontage may contain other permitted uses and/or pedestrian entrances.

Request To permit 6% (12-0) of the width of the proposed structures streetlevel, street facing faade to be occupied by accessory parking, a use not listed in 23.47A.005.D.1. Permitted street level uses provided: General sales & service 75-5 (35%) Eating/drinking establishment 53-9 (25%) Arts facility (Pike/Pine) 31-3 (14%) Total percent of permitted uses = 74%

Rationale 12th Avenue a designated principal pedestrian street provides the only R.O.W. access to the subject site. Therefore, garage, trash room, and other service uses requiring street access must be located at the street-level, street facing faade. For security reasons, the Seattle Police Department operations will not permit joint use of driveway/garage areas for non-SPD use. The pedestrian entrance to the garage increases the overall street-level transparency and continues the pedestrian-oriented character of the ground floor level.

SMC 23.47A.008.A.3.a Street-level development standards Street-facing, street-level facades shall be located within 10feet of the street lot line, unless wider sidewalks, plazas, or other landscaped or open spaces are provided. SMC 23.47A.008.A.3.a Street-level development standards Street-facing, street-level facades shall be located within 10feet of the street lot line, unless wider sidewalks, plazas, or other landscaped or open spaces are provided.

To permit an approximate 33-0 wide portion of the street-level faade The outdoor area provided between the street lot line and building facade is intended to be an extension at the primary building entry to be set-back approximately 14-feet from of the sidewalk. This allows ground floor retail & restaurant uses to spill out to the exterior and enage the street lot line. pedestrians without encroaching into the right-of-way. The faade segment that is set back 14-feet also helps define the primary building entry.

The setback also creates a small court that serves multiple purposes, including providing direct load-in access to the theater shop space and short-term parking for bicycles. This area will be well-lit and security cameras will be provided to monitor activity. An ornamental metal gate will be provided to secure the space after hours.

Rationale

To permit an approximately 45 length of the structure to be built up to The proposed setback encroachment supports the development of an affordable performing arts theater, the the rear lot line an additional 7-3, to a total height of 20-3 above a use encouraged in the Pike/Pine neighborhood. Because the existing grade beyond our property line lot grade. quickly slopes up an additional 5 feet, the perceived height of the structure from adjacent lots will appear lower. To permit a section of the northeastern corner of the building above 40-0 in height to encroach into the required rear setback. The proposed section is approximately 25-3 tall x 41-5 wide and varies in depth from 0-0 to 5-0. To permit striping for zero small, 72% medium, 9% large, and 19% extra-large parking spaces. Proposed Parking Stall Sizes Provided: Medium stalls (8x16) 72% = 80 spaces Large stalls (8.5x19) 9% = 10 spaces XL stalls (11X19) 19% = 21 spaces 111 spaces To permit a portion of the pedestrian garage entry, 3-0 deep and 2The proposed pedestrian entrance is aluminum storefront and, therefore, will continue to provide sufficient 8 wide, to encroach into the required site triangle in the vertical space visibility at the area of encroachment. Traffic mirrors also will be provided at the garage entrance to between 32-82 inches. enhance visibility for exiting vehicles. This narrows the visible throat of the garage opening and allows for a larger, transparent lobby area for the Police, in line with comments at EDG. A substantially greater setback than is required is provided along three-quarters of the rear property line. This shifts the tallest area of the building further from the residentially zoned lots and improves solar access for adjacent properties. The proposed parking stall ratio supports the specific parking requirements of the Seattle Police Department, which due to the size of fleet vehicles requires larger stall sizes.

SMC 23.54.030.G.2 Parking space standards For two-way driveways 22-0 wide or more, a sight triangle shall be provided on the side of the driveway used as an exit, and shall be kept clear of any obstruction for a distance of 10-0 from the intersection of the driveway and the lot line. The sight triangle shall also be kept clear of obstructions in the vertical spaces between 32-82 inches from the ground.
