Design Guidelines
 After
working closely with South Lake Union (SLU) neighborhood
representatives, DCLU has prepared design guidelines for this area,
which are now available. Legislation that would amend the Land Use
Code to incorporate the SLU guidelines will be submitted to the
Seattle City Council for their consideration later this year.
 After
adoption, these neighborhood-specific guidelines will augment the
existing Citywide Design Guidelines and together outline the design
objectives to be met by new commercial and multifamily development
proposals within the SLU neighborhood. The main elements of the SLU
guidelines:
reinforce the existing context and
character of the neighborhood; and
outline ways in which new development
proposals can relate well to noteworthy buildings and positive
attributes of urban form within the neighborhood.
Seattle's existing
neighborhood-specific design guidelines address specific design concerns that have historical, cultural
and architectural significance and offer many suggestions for how new
developments can enhance the public realm by being sensitive to these
issues.
