A public meeting is scheduled to discuss the development plans of Washington Charter School Development, Inc. (WCSD) to construct a 58,281 sq. ft., three-story building and below-grade parking garage to house Green Dot High School (GDHS), a public charter school at 3900 S. Holly Park Dr. in Othello. The meeting will be held at Rainier Valley Leadership Academy on Thursday, November 30 at 6:00 p.m. at 3900 S. Holly Park Dr.
WCSD is requesting modifications (also known as departures) to the City’s zoning regulations for the following:
- Greater than allowed building height.
- Reduced setback across the street from a residential zone.
- Reduced setback abutting a residential zone.
This meeting will include a presentation on the requested modifications before the Green Dot High School Development Standards Departure Advisory Committee, a group composed of neighbors and GDHS and City representatives. After the presentation, the public is invited to make comments. Following public comment, the committee will deliberate and consider the District’s requests. Additional meetings may be held, if needed.
If community members cannot attend the meeting, written comments can be submitted by Tuesday, November 28 to:
