Toll Brothers' request to rezone the Newport Hills Shopping Center and
replace it with a huge amount of housing and a token amount of retail is
wrong. The proposed rezone would circumvent Bellevue's normal planning
process to provide a windfall to the current owner of the shopping center
and to Toll Brothers at the expense of the surrounding community.
Background
Toll Brothers proposes that Bellevue rezone the Newport Hills Shopping
Center so that Toll can build and sell at least 130 "luxury" townhomes and
condo apartments on the site. This would replace the "public square" at the
heart of the long-established Newport Hills neighborhood with infill housing
and reduce the retail space to as little as 13,000 square feet (less than
one-quarter of the current 60,000 square feet – or about half the old “Red
Apple Market” space). Destroying the heart of the neighborhood would be
bad enough, but the proposed development would also have major negative long
-term effects on traffic congestion and school overcrowding.
Details
Contrary to Toll's assertion, the Newport Hills Shopping Center is not
obsolete and has not been "unable to adapt to changing market trends and
demands." At present the shopping center is tenanted by a lively, family-
oriented mix of restaurants, recreation and service businesses, despite its
aging buildings and infrastructure.
Toll Brothers' application asserts it's necessary to upzone the shopping
center parcel to Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMU) because the center cannot be
revitalized under the existing Neighborhood Business (NB) zoning. Toll
claims the existing zoning isn't "flexible" enough to allow successful
redevelopment with a mix of residential and commercial uses. This claim isn'
t justified - NB zoning already permits approximately 85-88 units of housing
to be built on the site, over ground-level retail. The key to Toll's
request is that, unlike NB zoning, NMU zoning would allow the city to waive
much of the requirement for retail/commercial space. Toll is a housing
developer, so their incentive is to maximize the housing they can build and
sell on the site; and the incentive for the current owner of the shopping
center is simply to get the highest price they can for the property. It is
not Newport Hills' obligation to ensure the center owner and developer
achieve maximum profit at the expense of our wonderful neighborhood.
The shopping center property is the geographic and emotional heart of the
Newport Hills neighborhood. The proposed zoning change would allow Toll to
replace the shopping center with a dense housing development containing a
small amount of retail. This change would fundamentally alter the character
of both the specific property and the neighborhood as a whole; therefore the
City should not even consider this zoning change outside the City's own
Neighborhood Area Planning process required under the Growth Management Act.
To Bellevue Planning Commission & City Council:
We ask you to deny Toll Brothers' application for a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment and concurrent rezone for the following reasons
• The application does not satisfy the threshold review criteria.
In particular, the “significantly changed conditions” criteria was not
satisfied. Nothing has changed since the last (2016) rezone application
except there's been increased tenancy and vibrancy at the shopping center,
as well as at other properties in the commercial district.
• The current zoning, Neighborhood Business, accommodates
redevelopment of the shopping center to preserve neighborhood-oriented
retail & services and to allow housing if necessary.
• Neighborhood Mixed Use zoning was created to compliment and
provide housing density for Transit Oriented Development. The shopping
center is nowhere near a TOD, nor are there plans to build one close by.
• A rezone with such far-reaching consequences for the surrounding
community should not be considered outside the Neighborhood Area Plan update
process led by residents, not developers.
An application does NOT= an obligation. Please do the right thing for the
citizens you represent. Make it clear you will not sacrifice Newport Hills
simply to increase Toll Brothers' and Rainier Northwest-University LLC's
profits.
Sincerely,
Friends & Families of Newport Hills |
