Briggs Village Commercial Plan Under Review

Olympia’s Design Review Board is set to weigh in on a new two-story commercial building in Briggs Village, proposed by M&T Advanced Properties on a nearly one-acre Maple Lane SE lot. While city staff largely approve the design’s alignment with the Briggs Master Plan, they’ve flagged key issues: entrance orientation, roof style, ground-floor aesthetics, and parking/sidewalk integration. Public concerns highlight the lack of housing and the large parking footprint. Staff recommend conditions including enhanced landscaping, utility screening, at least two pedestrian-friendly features, and detailed service structure plans. The meeting is June 18 at 5:30 PM at City Hall — live testimony isn’t allowed, but written feedback can be submitted by 4 PM that day.
