The image below shows the current zoning conditions of the North Recycling and Disposal Station and the surrounding areas.
The hatched area of the map shows two different zones that NRDS would like to expand their facilities into. To do this, current zoning must be changed or overridden.
The Seattle Department of Planning and Development (DPD) has advised that SPU confine their rebuild to the IC-45 zone.

Below is a document that SPU distributed at a recent Wallingford Community Council meeting. It discusses why they are rebuilding the Recycling and Disposal Station, what's planned for the new station and the proposed benefits to our neighborhood.
NESTS met with Councilmember Nick Licata on March 6th to discuss the plans for the North Transfer Station and the need for an Environmental Impact Statement prior to proceeding with the design, demolition, rebuilding and enlargement of the Station.
We expressed our concern about the toxicity on the site, storm water run off, traffic and noise. We also expressed our concern that the size and design of the facility will have a negative impact on the neighborhood. In addition, there appear to be significant zoning issues involved.
We recently received a letter from Mr. Licata that was sent to the Acting Director of Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) expressing his support for an Environmental Impact Statement on the North Transfer Station before proceeding.
NESTS thanks Councilmember Licata for his support and commitment to our neighborhood.
