39. CONCLUSION
FUTURE OF 35TH AVE NE - OUTCOME
• Through this public planning process, the 35th Ave Committee has
attempted to lead the community through an open and proactive
planning process to articulate a consensus vision and plan for the
future of the 35th Ave NE business district. We have reached out to
residents, businesses, landowners, and others who could be most
effected for their input. While unanimity is not realistic and has not
been achieved, we believe the proposed planning tools complement
each other and are consistent with what the community has stated at
public workshops and other data collected over the past 4 years.
40. CONCLUSION
FUTURE OF 35TH AVE NE – NEXT STEPS
• We intend to seek the endorsement of this plan by the Ravenna-Bryant
Community Association (RBCA) and Wedgwood Community Council (WCC)
• It is our intention to work with our consultant team to assembled these planning
tools into a single document for the 35th Ave NE which can be used by the 35th
Ave Committee, RBCA, and WCC. The plan will also be provided to Seattle DPD,
SDOT, and the Seattle Planning Commission.
• The Streetscape Design Guidelines will be reviewed by SDOT and hopefully
adopted into Chapter 6 of the City’s Right-of-Way Improvements Manual.
• It is our intention to provide the Supplemental Design Guidelines to the Seattle
Design Board and NE District Design Review Board.
• We intend to meet with DPD to discuss the zoning recommendations and discuss
next steps. The zoning changes described in this plan are only
“recommendations” at this time. Actually changing the zoning is a lengthy
process that would likely require further public notice.
