Washington Commons@ 817-825 EAST WASHINGTON

Washington Commons is proposing a multifamily development with 50 dwellings for the site, to include studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom dwellings, with 49 dwellings targeted for households at the Very low- and Low-income levels and 1 dwelling to be reserved for an on-site manager. The ±50,000 square foot building would include four levels and would be ±50' tall. The ±32,000 square foot site would include limited surface parking, landscaping, and a courtyard. The proposed development would include resident-serving amenities such as a community room, services, and property management offices, as well as an on-site laundry room, and bicycle parking. Project approval is subject to review under Senate Bill #35 (SB 35). The project is also subject to review under State Density Bonus Law, and would exceed the Implementing Zoning Ordinance limits for residential density and building height and will provide a reduced setback to the interior property lines as well as reduced parking.

On December 5, 2022, Washington Commons filed a formal Notice of Intent to apply for an affordable housing development project under the SB 35 ministerial review process. In response to this filing, on December 21, 2022, the City provided notice to the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. On January 3, 2023, the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria requested consultation, and this consultation is ongoing. Pursuant to SB 35 regulations, tribal consultation must be completed before this project can submit an SB 35 application to the City.
