7009 Greenwood Ave N in Seattle's Phinney Ridge neighborhood holds a 5-story mixed-use building with 35 apartments, retail at street level, and parking for 26 vehicles below grade. The project depended on a council land-use action rezoning a 12,185-square-foot portion of the site from a 40-foot height limit to 55 feet with a mandatory housing affordability suffix. Its Master Use Permit (3023260-LU), preceded by early design guidance under the same base number (3023260-EG), carried that rezone, while the single-family-zoned portion kept its designation and an existing house and garage stayed in place.
