AttachmentA <br />Proposed Seasons 52 Restaurant <br />Southcenter Mall <br />Tukwila, WA <br />PROJECT NARRATIVE <br />This request is for the DesignReview of a proposed new Seasons 52Restaurant, with full liquor <br />service. This will be a new building on a pad of the Southcenter Mall, north of the Macy’s, in the <br />existing parking lot. <br />The Seasons 52is a full service, family-style restaurant and the use is in keeping with the other <br />restaurants and retail uses within the area. It will employee approximately 30persons on the <br />highest shift and thehours of operation are 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM, seven days a week. <br />RELATIONSHIP OF STRUCTURE TO SITE <br />: <br />The proposed site is to be located on an existing parking field, adjacent to the proposed Red <br />Lobster restaurant, which is a sister store to Seasons 52. The new project will primarily be <br />replacing asphalt. The building will be visible to Tukwila Parkway to the north and to the <br />Southcenter Mall to the south. The two restaurants will be within easy walking distance of each <br />other. <br />RELATIONSHIP OF STRUCTURE AND SITE TO ADJOINING AREA <br />: <br />The proposed site has been located with coordination between the restaurants, Westfield Mall <br />and Macy’s (the underlying owner of the property) and is part of a long term ground lease. The <br />area involved has been historically a lightly-used area of parking. The new restaurant uses will <br />provide new vibrancy to the immediate area, and to the overall mall development. Provisions <br />have been made to connect pedestrian to public access locations. Additionally, patrons parking in <br />between Macy’s and Seasons 52 will be able to access both uses on foot, if they desire. Seasons <br />52 will also offer valet parking. <br />LANDSCAPE AND SITE TREATMENT <br />: <br />Landscaping adjacent to the building will provide a pleasant pedestrian and waiting area for <br />patrons. Aswith all Seasons 52 locations, landscaping will be well maintained to enhance the <br />image of the site. There will be a net increase in the amount of landscaping currently provided in <br />the existing parking field. <br />BUILDING DESIGN <br />: <br />The design and style of the proposed Seasons 52 restaurant is inspired by the architectural <br />concepts of Frank Lloyd Wright. The design is generally horizontalin nature, using simplistic <br />geometric forms. The design incorporates a series of horizontal planes stepping in both elevation <br />and plan. The landscape around the building is specifically designed to reflect the architecture <br />79 <br /> <br />
