The final development scenarios (Plan A and Plan B) that emerged from the Design Charrette held this past April 19th through the 23rd are now posted on the SODO project page at Engage Easton. Let us know your thoughts!

You can watch a video of the closing night presentation on the SODO project page at Engage Easton. You can also view in the tabs (by day) the initial evening kick-off and the evolving concepts that culminated in the Thursday evening plans, with a site plan, description, and renderings of Plan A and Plan B.

Both are similar conceptually; the bulk of the higher density and commercial is on the northern portion of the site and closer to downtown with a transition to lower density and context sensitive design as the scenarios move further south. They are also consistent with comprehensive plan policies that support more affordable housing in Easton by providing affordable market-rate housing primarily through smaller footprint units and a greater variety of housing types. In addition, the market feasibility analysis conducted during the charrette determined there was market demand for everything shown at market-acceptable price points.

Thanks to all who participated! Please keep an eye out for future updates.
