We're doing a sixplex next, derivative of the #seattle6
The land is already zoned for multi-family, but there just aren't any apartments anywhere near this great Rockwood location.

#seattle6 with solid railings. a little more private. If you want this kind of smallplex housing option, contact your rep to pass HB 1782 and SB 5670. First hearing is Tuesday: Link to testimony here:

I'm fleshing out just what the experience on the street would be like if we allowed six/eight/tenplexes with zero sideyards. The balcony buffer zone makes the reduced setback in front pretty friendly. Too friendly? #Seattle6

Converting buffer yards into real backyards means the #Seattle6 zoning has both a bigger back yard AND more buildable area than detached house zoning.

Floors 2-4 have a family-size 860SF net 2 BR + a 735SF net 1 BR accessed from common vestibule.
The scale is a lot like this classic.
The hardest question is does it pencil?

This #Seattle6 has individual storage on ground floor, large enough for bikes
Even on 40’ front, we can fit an ADA access ramp for up to 3’ of difference between sidewalk and ground floor.

Variation of #Seattle6 on a smaller 40x100 lot:
Ground floor focus on flexible use:
Accessory Commercial Unit (ACU) ie cafe, shop or coworking
Short term ‘Flex flat’ rental for guest, caregiver, temporary disability of a resident or party room

I wanted to compare Seattle’s basic development pattern using ADUs as townhouses against a more efficient use of Neighborhood Residential land (#Greenzoning ) like the #seattle6 .

Side to side #seattle6, 8 or 10 unit ‘plexes trade sideyard for backyard. Every one of these flats looks out to street, yard or both. Yes, there is more shadow for old houses, but we’re not pitting people who need place to lives against trees & open space

Evolving as we grow:
For the #SeattleCompPlan one big question is how to make room new people, fight climate change and undo inequities baked into Single Family vs Urban Villages.
We shouldn’t expand urban hubs, we should rethink all of it. Here’s one way:

Here is the context for #Seattle6
When thinking about what's next for n'hoods, accepting townhomes as the next logical step ignores how weird they've become given complex rules that have lost touch good urban design. Best to start fresh with new values/goals and get what we want

You might end up with something like this: 3 stories, 6 homes w/ 1 flexing as daycare or store, 35’ height, 50% lot cover + big terraces front & back for everyone, 2/3 BR units, net zero energy+passivhaus, street trees, big back yard, FAR 1.5, no Design Review.
