I'm a little behind the times on this one, as the notice was actually posted back in mid December, but it appears that the awesomely-great Genesee mini mart shell that I just oh so love is about to get bigger.
There's a land use application posted that states:
Land Use Application to allow a 2,460 sq. ft. expansion of existing retail building (gas station and mini-mart) and a 5,667 sq. ft. second story addition to allow office use. Parking for ten vehicles will be provided below and at grade.
If you look at the final decision, it states:
The proposed use will be a convenience store, gas station and accessory parking with accessory storage and office uses. Parking impacts are expected to increase slightly in that demand for parking for a second story addition with office use will be greater than the existing one story convenience store. Generally, however, the parking demand is expected to be minimal given the small size of the convenience store with second story offices, gas station and the location of the site in a fairly dense urban area of the city that is well served by buses and is expected to improve in the future with light rail service.
So it looks like more office space, more parking, and more people. Why anyone would want to rent office space right above a gas station I'm not sure, but I guess they do. I wonder if this means that they'll finally move their big sign with prices per gallon out towards the sidewalk so it's once again visible from Rainier? Although I guess that hardly matters, I'm not ever going back...
