Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Yesler Terrace Redevelopment 

Project 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Community Planning and 

Development, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Housing 

and Urban Development (HUD) gives 

notice to the public, agencies, and 

Indian tribes that the Seattle Housing 

Authority and the City of Seattle Human 

Services Department (Community 

Development Block Grant (CDBG) 

Administration Unit) have prepared a 

Draft Environmental Impact Statement 

(DEIS) for the Yesler Terrace 

Redevelopment Project, located in the 

City of Seattle, King County, WA. The 

project proponent is the Seattle Housing 

Authority. The City of Seattle Human 

Services Department and the Seattle 

Housing Authority, acting jointly as lead 

agencies, have prepared the DEIS under 

the authority of the City of Seattle 

Human Services Department as the 

Responsible Entity for compliance with 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) in accordance with 42 U.S.C. 

1437x and HUD regulations at 24 CFR 

58.4, and under the Seattle Housing 

Authority’s role as lead agency in 

accordance with the Washington State 

Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The 

DEIS is a joint NEPA and SEPA 

document. The DEIS satisfies 

requirements of SEPA (RCW 43.21C) 

and the SEPA Rules (WAC 197–11) 

which require that all state and local 

government agencies consider the 

environmental consequences of projects 

over which they have discretionary 

authority before acting on those 

projects. The proposed action is subject 

to compliance with NEPA, because 

funds from the public housing programs 

under Title I of the United States 

Housing Act of 1937 (HOPE VI, Capital 

Funds, Demolition/Disposition) will be 

used for this project (24 CFR 

58.1(b)(6)(i)). This notice is given in 

accordance with the Council on 

Environmental Quality regulations at 40 

CFR parts 1500–1508. All interested 

Federal, State, and local agencies, 

Indian tribes, groups, and the public are 

also invited to comment on the DEIS. If 

you are an agency with jurisdiction by 

law over natural or other public 

resources affected by the project, the 

Seattle Housing Authority and the City 

of Seattle Human Services Department 

need to know what environmental 

information germane to your statutory 

responsibilities should be included in 

the DEIS. 

ADDRESSES: Comments relating to the 

DEIS are requested and will be accepted 

by the contact persons listed below until 

December 13, 2010. Any person or 

agency interested in receiving a notice

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Project Name and Description 

The Seattle Housing Authority and 

the City of Seattle Human Services 

Department will consider a proposal for 

a phased redevelopment of the existing 

Yesler Terrace residential community to 

a mixed-use residential community on a 

28-acre site on the southern slope of 

First Hill in Seattle, WA. The proposed 

project is generally bounded by 

Interstate 5 on the west, Alder Street 

and Fir Street on the north, 12th Avenue 

on the east, and Washington Street on 

the south. 

The proposed project would include 

development of a mix of affordable and 

market-rate housing, office and retail 

uses, as well as parks and open space, 

enhanced landscaping, improved streets 

and a system of pedestrian and bike 

improvements. All existing residential 

structures on the site would be 

demolished under the Proposed Action; 

other structures on the site may also be 

demolished. The existing Yesler Terrace 

community center would be retained. It 

is anticipated that the redevelopment of 

Yesler Terrace will take approximately 

15 to 20 years to complete. 

The proposed actions may involve the 

following: Comprehensive Plan 

Amendment, text amendment to the 

Land Use Code to allow a new zone for 

Yesler Terrace, street vacation, 

preliminary and final plat approval, 

adoption of a Planned Action 

Ordinance, Development Agreement 

approval, other construction and 

building permits and other federal, state 

and local approvals for redevelopment 

of the Yesler Terrace community. 

The EIS is also intended to fulfill 

SEPA requirements for a Planned 

Action environmental review for the 

portion of the site west of Boren 

Avenue, per RCW 43.21C.031, SMC 

25.05.164 [et seq.], and SHA Resolution 

4945. According to SEPA, a ‘‘Planned 

Action’’ is a designation for a project or 

elements of a project that shifts 

environmental review from the time a 

permit application is made to an earlier 

phase in the process, such as at the 

Comprehensive Plan amendment and/or 

rezone phase. The intent of this 

designation is to provide a more 

streamlined environmental process by 

using an existing EIS prepared at this 

earlier stage for SEPA compliance for 

long-term actions. 

This is to be a combined document— 

an EIS under the State of Washington 

State Environmental Policy Act (RCW 

43.21C and WAC 197–11) and an EIS 

under NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321) and 

implementing regulations of the Council 

on Environmental Quality (40 CFR parts 

1500–1508) and HUD (24 CFR Part 58). 

Alternatives: SHA proposes to 

redevelop the Yesler Terrace site into a 

mixed use, mixed income community. 

The six following alternatives are 

evaluated in the DEIS, in no order of 

preference: 

Alternative 1 (Lower Density Mixed 

Use): This alternative represents the 

lower range of potential mixed use 

redevelopment of the site, which could 

include approximately 3,000 housing 

units; 800,000 square feet (SF) of office 

use (a portion of which could be hotel 

use); 40,000 SF of neighborhood 

commercial; 50,000 SF of neighborhood 

services (including the Yesler 

Community Center); 6.0 acres of public 

open space; 7.3 acres of semi-private 

and private open space; and 3,900 

parking spaces within or under 

buildings. 

Alternative 1A (Lower Density Mixed 

Use with Less Office): Alternative 1A 

represents a variation of Alternative 1 

wherein most proposed land uses would 

be similar to Alternative 1. This 

alternative could include approximately 

3,000 housing units; 400,000 square feet 

(SF) of office use; 40,000 SF of 

neighborhood commercial; 50,000 SF of 

neighborhood services (including the 

Yesler Community Center); 6.0 acres of 

public open space; 7.8 acres of semiprivate and private open space; and 

3,300 parking spaces within or under 

buildings. 

Alternative 2 (Medium Density Mixed 

Use): Alternative 2 represents the 

middle range of potential mixed use 

redevelopment of the site, which could 

include approximately: 4,000 dwelling 

units; 1,000,000 million SF of office (a 

portion of which could be hotel use); 

60,000 SF of neighborhood commercial; 

50,000 SF of neighborhood services 

(including the Yesler Community 

Center); 6.5 acres of public open space, 

9.4 acres of private and semi-private 

open space; and 5,100 parking spaces 

within or under buildings. 

Alternative 3 (Higher Density Mixed 

Use): Alternative 3 represents the higher 

range of potential mixed use 

redevelopment of the site, which could 

include approximately: 5,000 dwelling 

units; 1,200,000 SF of office (a portion 

of which could be hotel use); 88,000 SF 

of neighborhood commercial; 50,000 SF 

of neighborhood services (including the 

Yesler Community Center); 6.9 acres of 

public open space; 9.2 acres of private 

and semi-private open space; and 6,300 

parking spaces within or under 

buildings. 

Alternative 4 (Existing/L–3 Zoning): 

Alternative 4 represents the lowest 

amount of residential development 

among the redevelopment alternatives, 

and does not include office or hotel 

uses. The proposed new Lowrise-3 (L3) 

zoning designation would govern future 

redevelopment of West of Boren sectors. 

Redevelopment in the East of Boren 

sector would occur under existing 

zoning (MR and NC3). Redevelopment 

under this alternative would include 

approximately: 1,523 dwelling units, 

10,000 SF of neighborhood commercial 

(located east of Boren Avenue only); 5.2 

acres of public open space; 7.9 acres of 

private and semi-private open space; 

and 1,840 parking spaces either within/ 

under buildings and/or located as 

surface parking stalls (approximately 50 

percent of each type). 

No-Action Alternative: The no-action 

alternative represents a continuation of 

the site in its present condition. As 

under Alternative 4, the existing City of 

Seattle Lowrise-3 zoning designations 

would govern potential replacement of 

existing buildings west of Boren Avenue 

and the MR and NC3 zoning 

designations would govern replacement 

of existing buildings east of Boren 

Avenue. 

Probable Environmental Effects: The 

following subject areas will be analyzed 

in the combined EIS for probable 

environmental effects: Earth; air quality; 

water; plants and animals; climate 

change and greenhouse gas emissions; 

environmental health; noise; land use; 

relationship to plans and policies; 

aesthetics, light and glare, and shadows; 

historic resources; cultural resources; 

transportation; utilities; public services; 

socioeconomics; and environmental 

justice. 

Lead Agencies: As a lead agency, the 

City of Seattle, through its Human 

Services Department, is the responsible 

entity (RE) for this project in accordance 

with 24 CFR part 58, ‘‘Environmental 

Review Procedures for Entities 

Assuming HUD Environmental 

Responsibilities.’’ As a RE, the City of 

Seattle Human Services Department 

assumes the responsibility for 

environmental review, decision-making, 

and action that would otherwise apply 

to HUD under NEPA. In addition, the 

Seattle Housing Authority is the State 

Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) lead 

agency responsible for preparing an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description of the Proposed Action 

The West Coast Recycling Group 

(WCRG) proposes to develop 

approximately 15 acres at the Port of 

West Sacramento (Port) in the city of 

West Sacramento to construct and 

operate a scrap metal shredding and 

recycling facility. The project site is on 

formerly used industrial land at 3125 

Industrial Boulevard in Yolo County, 

California. The Port is located 

approximately 0.5 mile south of U.S. 

Highway 50 and 1.25 miles west of 

Interstate 5, and is bounded by 

Industrial Boulevard to the north and 

east, the Sacramento Deep Water Ship 

Channel (SDWSC) and turning basin to 

the south, and Lake Washington to the 

west. The project site is located in the 

northwestern portion of the Port facility. 

Much of the approximately 15-acre 

project site was previously used as a log 

export yard. A portion of the site is 

currently being used as a concrete 

recycling facility. The remainder of the 

property is currently composed of 

vacant industrial land and a heavy 

equipment storage area. Predominant 

land uses in the vicinity of the project 

site are industrial. Land uses adjacent to 

and surrounding the Port include 

industrial facilities, warehouses, a 

firehouse, office buildings, and other 

commercial land uses. Residential land 

uses are located south and east of the 

Port. 

The project would require a 

conditional use permit from the City of 

West Sacramento and a ground lease 

from the Port of West Sacramento. 

Operations at the proposed facility 

would include scrap metal sorting and 

scrap metal shredding, material 

separation and processing to extract 

usable material, and stabilization of 

nonmetallic material to make it useful 

as sanitary day cover in landfills. The 

vehicles that are to be shredded on-site 

will already have been dismantled by 

other companies to remove vehicle 

fluids, tires, batteries, and reusable 

parts. The facility would be a state-ofthe-art design, with modern emission 

controls, and an industrial storm water 

system to capture and reuse rainwater. 

A portion of the metal material 

delivered for shredding at the facility 

would include retired automobiles or 

end-of-life vehicles. However, other 

sources of scrap metal would also be 

shredded such as appliances, 

agricultural equipment, and industrial 

scrap metal. The scrap metal may be 

bailed or placed into bins for transport. 

The project includes design and 

construction of a new main Port 

entrance from Industrial Boulevard. The 

new entrance would be located west of 

the current main entrance at Harbor 

Boulevard and approximately 350 feet 

east of the Beacon Drive/Industrial 

Boulevard intersection (centerline to 

centerline). 

The proposed metal recycling facility 

would process automobiles and scrap 

metals through the shredder at an 

average hourly throughput of 170 gross 

tons, with a maximum of 220 gross tons 

per hour. The maximum daily shredder 

throughput is estimated to be 1,760 

gross tons per day. The monthly 

throughput is estimated to be 25,000 

gross tons. 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

Consistent with the requirements of 

the State CEQA Guidelines § 15126.6, 

and § 1502.14 of the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations 

implementing NEPA, the EIR/EIS will 

examine a range of reasonable 

alternatives to the proposed project that 

are potentially feasible. The alternatives
