This neighborhood does not need more high rise developments! And this particular project of 12 stories is beyond the norm in this community! The increase in traffic congestion is not welcome nor keeping with the spirit of this community!

These schemes ignore fact most people have a car even if they don't commute. A look at Columbia City shows you what this gift to developers gets you.

No 12 story buildings. Fix the infrastructure but not by over building the area.

The traffic in that area is already a nightmare! It took me 30 min. to get from Dearborn St. to Coumbian Way recently. Please don't make it any worse by adding to the population in that neighborhood. Also, it would make the area UGLY.

Sixty--five feet is apparently consistent with other 'tall ' buildings in the area and even that is too tall. The South end is unique and should not become another Denny Regrade or Mercer mess.

65 feet is tall enough IN ANY NEIGHBORHOOD.

No upzone in our neighborhood, no bow tie traffic disaster. No more 'special treatment' for Rainier Valley. 65 feet is tall enough any NEIGHBORHOOD.

Renton and Tukwila are better suited for high rises

Buildings at this height do not belong in neighborhoods. They belong downtown. Between light rail, bike lanes and other traffice revisions, our neighborhood is already too congested. Its a drag on the quality of life. the towering buildings block what little sun we have and ruin the character of the neighborhood.

There is no good reason to add highrises to Rainier Valley. We already have major traffic and parking issues. I have to wonder- why Rainier Valley?

a 12 story building at this location is very out of scale with the rest of the neighborhood. I would prefer so see other 65ft zoned areas built out completely before going higher.

Every lot next to the Mt Baker Light Rail Station is zoned 65 and the only one being built to 65 is city owned.

This is a mid-rise zone, increasing the height limit to 125' isn't an upzone it's a problem. Highrises belong downtown. The one way street arrangements creates more problems than it alleviates, please do not authorize this change. Neigborhoods deserve a voice in Seattle's develpment.

No more upzoning! Let midrise stay midrise - it should NOT become highrise. We already have areas designated for highrise buildings!

What will become of the boarded up and decaying buildings or the pot dispensaries if those buildings are replaced by new buildings and restaurants and stores and a sufficient number of new residents to use and live and work in them? What if the new building obscures the view of a parking lot or gas station that a $600K Mt. Baker home currently enjoys? What if your house was to increase in value by many tens of thousands of dollars because a few years from now it is near a highly desirable place to live- that all sounds awful, right?

How many of those lots are next to light rail stations?
