Bravo!
Cool! This looks great!
Generally supportive of this concept, but the drive-thru retail has got to go.
Besides drive-thru’s being suburban in nature and terrible land uses in general, they’re also disallowed by both the Regional Center Design Guidelines and the Transit-Oriented zoning overlay, both of which apply to this site.
I think this is fair. Regardless, this is an exciting development that deserves support!
I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure this falls outside of RC. And I get your stance on drive-thrus—truly, I do. But if we’re holding that line across the board, then the new Starbucks on Capitol and the McDonald’s at 16th & Meridian would be out of bounds too.
Again, I’m generally with you. But I do think there’s a way to do it with some thought and taste, even in an urban context.
Onwards…
RC extends to the north and east edges of the site. The Meridian Corridor north of 16th Street is part of the RC and has been since the RC was created.
The better place for a drive through on this site is the opposite (NE) corner of the site at 30th and Talbott, where there is a traffic signal (where the dance studio is planned). Maybe flip the two.
Chris B. I stand corrected. You’re right guy. It is indeed in RC.

Those applauding this are shills.
Okay, Murray. Keep being miserable.
Keep being an ant development is good development harlot.
raise your hand if you (like me) looked up “cater-corner” to see if was really spelled like that, haha!
+1
+2
Is it cater corner or catty-corner?
Perhaps because the four spots on a die can suggest an X, cater eventually came to be used dialectically with the meaning of “diagonal” or “diagonally”; cater was then combined with corner to form catercorner. Eventually the variants kitty-corner and catty-corner, which are now the more common forms, developed.
This project stands out as one of the more thoughtful and encouraging proposals to come along lately. It aligns well with good urban design principles. Always fantastic to see a massive, underused parking lot turned into something meaningful. I like walkable layout in a neighborhood that’s long deserved fresh investment. But please make the drive-thru invisible from the street. Advertise it with a sign if you have to, but do not let us see it when we drive down Meridian, please! Beyond that, I say, replacing dead asphalt with a blend of homes, daily activity, and creative energy like Kids Dance Outreach is exactly what we need more of to build long-term vitality and stronger neighborhoods. Well done, New City.
This is a great Transit Oriented Development project. Mixed use development a block away from a Red/Purple line station with a bus heading north or south at least every 7 minutes
