The proposal is for a Long-Term Temporary Use Permit to allow the continued use of an existing temporary parking lot on a portion of an undeveloped site, which is located at the northeast corner of NE 51st Street and 148th Avenue NE (Attachment B: Site Plan). Microsoft has utilized the subject parking lot as overflow parking since June 2007. The use permit has been approved four subsequent times by the City Council. The current Long-Term Temporary Use Permit was previously approved from May 6, 2016 until May 31, 2018. (Attachment C: Justification Letter)
