Continued Implementation work
Following on its direction provided in the Implementation Report, the City Council in 2023 adopted Ordinance No. 1054 including amendments intended to focus on rehabilitating the retail and office leasing experience and uses in the city’s commercial areas and to propose amendments to improve regulatory code clarity for redevelopment of commercial, mixed use and mixed use zones through the use of specialized density tools.
Normandy Park Economic Development Implementation Report
Developed as part of a process that continued in 2021, the Economic Development Committee (EDC) delivered its Normandy Park Economic Development Implementation Report to the City Council. This report aims to help address how the city could increase the vibrancy, attraction, and economic stability of the Normandy Park commercial and mixed-use areas from the Manhattan Village Subarea, down along the 1st Avenue South corridor, then to the Normandy Park Towne Center and environs.
Normandy Park – Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce 2021 Business Survey Update
We partnered with the Chamber to update the 2019 Business Survey, providing a pre- and post-COVID 19 snapshot of Normandy Park business. The number of survey contacts increased to 139 in 2021. Although the outlook remains positive, COVID-19, workforce issues, and state and county regulations remain top concerns. Satisfaction with city services remains mixed, and awareness of the Seattle Southside Chamber and Highline Small Business Development Center remain evenly mixed between knowledge and use.
The City of Normandy Park is a beautiful waterfront community offering easy access to SeaTac International Airport and downtown Seattle. With approximately 7,000 residents and covering an area of about 2.5 square miles, the community places its highest priorities on maintaining and enhancing its quiet pedestrian-friendly setting which has created a welcoming and warm environment for small to medium sized family owned businesses as well as many home-based businesses.
