At our last Southgate Neighborhood Council meeting the developers of the KXLY property presented a concept site plan highlighting their project’s connection to the Southeast Sports Complex and its enactment of the intent of the Center and Corridor zoning and Integrated Site Plan.
We’ve uploaded the full presentation here for people to look and review. Keep in mind a couple things: 1)These are just draft concepts and there have been no building permits applied for at this time. 2) The developer has not mentioned or listed any tenants of the buildings at this time. So any mention of a company or store is just illustrative.
You can catch a news story about this on KXLY News tonight at 5pm and 6pm.
Lastly, please make sure to comment on the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the small city-owned parcel between the park and KXLY’s property. Comments are due July 11th and you can see more information about the proposal on the City’s Planning Department website. The comments period is just about the zoning change and purchase of the small city-owned parcel, not the development as a whole. The full development will get its own design review and comment period when the developers submit building permits. This proposal is the first domino that as to fall before any major development actions take place.
I would endorse the zoning change and sale of the city owned property.
Looks like a great development. I hope it turns out well for all involved!
There is huge potential in the Southgate District Center to develop the properties in a way that fully meets the intent of the Spokane Comprehensive Plan and the Center and Corridor (CC) design guidelines. This is the one place in Spokane where the CC designs can be implemented from the ground up, I hope the City comes through for the neighborhood when it administers the code.
