Bicycle parking provided Developer: Build Urban http://buildurban.com/about/ WE BELIEVE IN sustainability At Build Urban we commit every day to designing and building environmentally friendly homes. We look at site and water protection, energy efficiency, health and indoor air quality, and materials efficiency. Building sustainable homes helps conserve natural resources, saves money on operating and home maintenance costs, creates healthier homes and habitat and reduces carbon footprints – by reducing energy and water usage and conserving resources, we can all have less impact on our planet. Design Review of Living Building Program https://www.seattle.gov/sdci/permits/green-building/living-building-and-2030-challenge-pilots SDCI team does review the living building pilot projects and there is no blanket approval. At this Eearly Design Guidance stage the information is very conceptual and enrollment in the pilot does not occur until a completed Master Use Permit (MUP) is made. During the MUP phase we have a formal sustainability review. We work with International Living Futures Institute (the Living Building Challenge certification organization) and the development team to ensure the project is progressing towards the end goal. The attached document provides a summary of what we require to be shown on plans and what documents are required during the permit process. Preliminary questions for Build Urban developers and architect? Shadows from height of 62 ft height plus additional 15 ft height of elevator shaft Location of elevator shaft which adds 15 additional feet of height Are there other rooftop features that add height to the main building? Setbacks of walls from adjacent buildings at ground level and above ground. Noise from any recycling of processes Note: that there is no parking required for buildings in this area. |
