INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Derek Speck, Economic Development Administrator
DATE: March 14, 2013
SUBJECT: 223 Andover Park East Proposed Development Agreement
ISSUE
Attached is a proposed development agreement for 223 Andover Park East that has been
revised from the version that was in the previous Council packets. This memo explains the
revisions.
BACKGROUND
The owner of 223 Andover Park East (the former Circuit City site) has asked the City for
permission to construct up to two buildings that would exceed the height and residential use
zoning limits at that site. More background details are available in the staff memo that was
included in the Council packet on February 25, 2013 and March 11, 2013.
DISCUSSION
Following are the significant revisions in the proposed development agreement:
Section 4.4— The residential range now sets a minimum of 250 units and a maximum of 450
units. The developer's current concept includes approximately 350 residential units. The
minimum is intended to meet the City's desire for a minimum number of residences. The
maximum is intended to meet the City's desire to avoid excess density while balancing the
developer's desire for flexibility.
Section 4.5— Under the revised language the developer is not required to record the
condominium declaration, survey and map now but only to create it and provide the City a copy.
This change is intended to meet the developer's need to get construction and permanent
financing since it is likely a lender would not be interested if the project must be recorded as
condos. Creating the declaration, survey and map at this point does not guarantee the units will
become condominiums but makes the conversion process easier and more likely.
Section 4.5— The language related to the water intrusion system was removed because upon
further research, staff has confirmed that State law applies the same water intrusion design and
inspection standards for construction of multiunit residential buildings permitted after August 1,
2005 (RCW 64.55.005). Thus, there is no higher standard in the building codes for
condominiums as compared to apartments for water intrusion.
Section 4.5— The language now requires each residential unit to have a separate electric meter.
This requirement is intended to balance the City's desire for the units to be convenient to

convert to condominiums while meeting the Developer's desire for flexibility in determining the
design of the other utilities at a later date.
Section 10 — The language better clarifies the original intent which is to grant the development
rights only to the Developer while allowing the Developer to put the development into another
form of organization such as a limited liability corporation.
Condominium Standards — The Council asked questions and expressed interest in the
development being constructed to condominium standards. Upon further research, staff has
confirmed that Washington State does not allow building code standards to be different for
condominiums as compared to apartments (RCW 63.34.050). Developers can choose to build
apartments or condominiums to higher standards than are required by the building code. That is
typically decided by the developer through consultation with their architect. Other than the
requirement for an electric meter for each residential unit, this proposed development
agreement does not require standards above the State building code so that the developer can
make those decisions when they have more information later in the design process.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the development agreement at the March 18, 2013
Regular Meeting.
