Land Use Permit Applications Under Review (including SEPA)

NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND OPTIONAL MDNS PROCESS

Proposal: Polaris at Lynnwood (File no. PDR-26-0002 SEPA-26-0005)

Project Description: On April 24, 2026 and May 6, 2026, Andrew Bernard of Inland Construction, on behalf of Northview Center SPE LLC submitted Project Development Review (PDR) and SEPA applications for plans for a mixed use affordable multifamily apartment with commercial space. The building will be 6 stories over 2 levels of below grade parking garage, with 294 units, 305 parking stalls, 7,500 sf of indoor amenity space and leasing office, approximately 18,000 sf of courtyard amenity space, and 1,300 sf of commercial space.

Location: 20800 44th Ave W Lynnwood, WA 98036; (Parcel Number: 27042100407500)

Required Permits: This project requires the approval of PDR, SEPA, and Critical Areas Permit (CAP) permits, as well as associated construction permits.

SEPA Review: The City of Lynnwood has reviewed the proposed project for probable adverse environmental impacts and expects to issue a Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance MDNS. This determination is based on the following findings and conclusions: 1. A preliminary critical areas report identifies a proposed mitigation plan which was designed in accordance with applicable policies and guidance, showing all proposed mitigation being based on best available science and demonstrating no net loss of critical area functions and values. 2. Lift Station No. 14 can be reasonably modified to increase capacity consistent with the demand of the proposed development. 3. Previous environmental review of the City Center + Alderwood Regional Growth Center included a Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Final Environmental Impact Statement which reviewed potential adverse environmental impacts to demographics, land use patterns and housing; community design and aesthetics; natural and built environment; multimodal transportation and related greenhouse gas emissions; public services (fire and police protection, parks, and schools); utilities (water, sewer, and stormwater); and relationship to plans and policies. Based on these findings and conclusions, the City anticipates including the following conditions of the MDNS: 1. A critical areas permit (CAP) is to be applied for and approved prior to Project Development Review issuance. 2.Installation of new pumps and confirmation of adequate capacity, or a contingency bypass pumping plan able to maintain adequate capacity in the event that upgrades are not yet completed must be in place for Lift Station No. 14 prior to Certificate of Occupancy.

Staff reviewed submitted materials including a site plan, critical areas report, and SEPA checklist. The optional MDNS process of WAC 197-11-355 is being used. This may be the only opportunity to comment on the environmental impact of the proposed project. The proposal may include mitigation measures under applicable codes, and the project review process may incorporate or require mitigation measures regardless of whether an EIS is prepared. A copy of the subsequent threshold determination for the specific proposal may be obtained upon request.
