The DPD website announces a public hearing on the recommendation of the Director of the Department of Planning and Development (DPD) to subdivide one parcel of land into 12 unit lots. The Director’s recommendation is that the subdivision be conditionally approved.

This is the Christian Science condos project at 16th & Denny: the very interesting attempt to turn the very large ornate Christian Science church into 12 residences. Plans to turn it into yet another performance space seemingly came to nothing.

Anyone know if this “Hearing Examiner’s Open Record Hearing” is merely a required formality (sounds like it) or whether there is some actual issue here?
