About This Home

Please see Virtual Tour #1***THIS IS A PROPERTY BEING SOLD TO APARTMENT/CONDO DEVELOPERS***In Seattle’s zoning code, for Lowrise 2 (LR2) with an M designation, there is a Mandatory Housing Affordability (MHA) overlay. This MHA program allows developers to achieve extra floor area (which can translate to more units) if they either provide affordable housing on-site or pay into the city’s affordable housing fund. Thus, by complying with the MHA requirements, a developer can gain added capacity (height, floor area) and potentially increase the number of units. Specific limits depend on lot size and other code factors. In Seattle's LR2-M zone, the exact height and floor area increase from the M designation depending on the city’s specific MHA tables. Typically, the M designation grants an extra 10 feet of height (e.g., from 40 feet to 50 feet). Floor area ratio (FAR) also increases—often by around 0.5 FAR. On a 4,500 sq ft lot, if the base FAR was, say, 1.2 (allowing 5,400 sq ft of building), an M increase to 1.7 FAR could allow about 7,650 sq ft total. Always confirm with the current city tables, as specifics can vary. This is a guestimate from the Broker and everything needs to be verified Property built before 1978 thus we are warning of Lead Paint (see disclosure phamplet in supplements) IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO DEVELOPE THIS SITE YOU WILL RENTAL INCOME WITH A LITTLE WORK TO SUPPLEMENT THE DEVELOPEMENT COSTS.
