Plan Features & Next Steps

Features

The INA Master Plan includes the following features:

  • Zoning for all current Interbay Industrial (IG2U/45’) property will remain unchanged. A mixed-use zoning overlay district will be developed and applied to the Interbay Neighborhood area. It will modify height restrictions, uses, and housing densities.  For a map of proposed height restrictions, click here.
  • Streets throughout the master plan area shall be improved, including repaving, and lighting. 
  • Truck access to and within industrial areas shall be preserved or improved.
  • Traffic signals and signage shall be updated to improve traffic flow.
  • Pedestrian access, safety, and enjoyment throughout the area shall be improved, including new sidewalks, crosswalks, landscaping, lighting and furniture.
  • Street, signal and sidewalk improvements will be funded through creation of a Local Improvement District.

Next Steps

To complete the Master Planning Process:

  • INA will work with neighborhood members, City of Seattle Department of Planning and Development (DPD), BINMIC, and other neighborhood groups to determine the final features of the proposed zoning overlay.
  • City Council directed DPD to return to Council by July 1, 2006 with legislation to establish the overlay zone.
