When Seattle’s recently purchased the Teatro Zinzanni property from the Seattle Opera — and helped close the curtains on the long-running acrobatics-meets-Moulin Rouge dinner show — company leaders were cagey about plans for the Roy Street site.

Not anymore.

In a mandatory notice sent to neighbors on Seattle Center’s north side, the company this week said it is proposing, “a 16-story building containing 350 residential units and 9,744 sq. ft. of retail space.” The letter adds that the project will rely on a rezone of the region to SM-160, which means a 160-foot height limit — four times the current allowable 40-foot height cap on the 200 block of Roy.

At one time, such a zoning request would have seen both audacious and unlikely. Seattle historically has kept the buildings near its iconic Space Needle low, with planners even deciding that 10 city parks — including Kerry and Volunteer parks — should have their views of the聽Needle .

Those days might be ending sooner rather than later. Released Wednesday, a few days after the Washington Holdings notice arrived in Uptown mailboxes, is the template of how city planners see the neighborhood changing and rising in coming years.

The report, however, does not advocate a 160-foot height increase north of Seattle Center — the specific rezoning Washington Holdings said it seeks for the Roy Street property. Perhaps anticipating the document’s recommendations, the development company also submitted a second proposal to build the residential project at the report’s recommended 85-foot rezone for the area.
