Coming off the double whammy of SLUFAN's vote to approve South Lake Union's upzoning and an election in which the SLUFAN board had three chances to improve on its 8 percent resident representation but didn't, a new group has formed to represent our community.
Lake Union Opportunity Alliance, a group of current and former residents and stakeholders of South Lake Union, Capitol Hill, Eastlake, and the Lake Union houseboat community, has banded together to offer another vision for South Lake Union.
Founding members of the Alliance have sent the city a letter citing their "considerable concern" over the recent re-zone proposals as well as the composition of the SLUFAN board.
Specifically, the group is concerned a lack of specific development constraints in the re-zone proposals will allow developers to construct an oppressive wall of towers across much of the neighborhood. They also believe too much density is being planned for the neighborhood, as the SLUFAN proposal would add anywhere from 25,000 to 38,000 additional dwelling units.
LUOA also called for affordable housing, housing and schools for families and community space that would serve to identify the neighborhood.
