Proposal

Fisher Island Community Association seeks to increase the height limit for main use parking garages on Terminal Island from 40 feet to 75 feet. This would allow expansion of the existing employee parking garage to reduce vehicle queuing for the Fisher Island ferry, which currently causes traffic backups extending to MacArthur Causeway.

From the Letter of Intent

Fisher Island Community Association is proposing to amend the City's Resiliency Code to permit parking garages on Terminal Island to achieve up to 75 feet in height, increasing from the current 40-foot restriction. This would allow expansion of their existing 4-story parking garage to add additional parking capacity.

  • Amend Resiliency Code to increase maximum height for parking garages on Terminal Island from 40 feet to 75 feet
  • Expand existing parking garage vertically to increase parking capacity
  • Relocate administrative offices from Fisher Island to expanded garage
