on adding any additional water service to the property and no additional water improvements are required.
SEWER COMMENTS:
1. Based on the review of project information submitted for the Land-Use application, the applicant is not planning
on adding any additional sewer service to the property and no additional sewer improvements are required.
STORM DRAINAGE COMMENTS
1. Drainage plans and a drainage report complying with the current version of the City adopted Renton Surface
Water Design Manual (RSWDM) will be required. Refer to Figure 1.1.2.A – Flow Chart of the RSWDM to determine
what type of drainage review is required for this site. The site falls within the City’s Flow Control Duration
(Matching Forested) Standard. The site falls within the Black River drainage basin.
a. Effective June 22, 2022, the City of Renton has adopted the 2022 RSWDM, which is based on the 2021
King County Surface Water Design Manual. All projects vested on or after June 22, 2022 will be subject
to these new stormwater requirements. Please refer to RMC 4-1-045 for information regarding project
vesting.
b. A preliminary technical information report (TIR) by CEKO, L.L.C., dated October 6, 2022, was submitted
by the Applicant with the Land Use Application.
i. TIR shall be updated during building permit review to account for the Flow Control Duration
(Matching Forested) standard.
c. This project is considered exempt from drainage review provided the applicant can show that the new
play area can meet the definition of a pervious surface per the 2022 RSWDM. Provide a specification
sheet that states that the poured rubber surface for the play area is a non-pollution generating pervious
surface.
2. If the new plus replaced pollution generating impervious surface exceeds 5,000 SF, the applicant will be required
to provide basic water quality treatment. Any proposed detention and/or water quality vault shall be designed in
accordance with the RSWDM that is current at the time of civil construction permit application. Separate structural
plans will be required to be submitted for review and approval under a separate building permit for the detention
and/or water quality vault.
a. Per the TIR, this project is exempt from Core Requirement #8, Water Quality Facilities as the project is
proposing less than 5,000 square feet of new plus replaced pollution generating impervious surface.
b. Provide a specification sheet that states that the poured rubber surface for the play area is a non-
pollution generating pervious surface.
3. Erosion control measures to meet the City requirements shall be provided.
4. The development is subject to a surface water system development charge (SDC) fees. Fees will be charged based
on the rate at the time of construction permit issuance. The current SDC fee is $0.92 per square foot of new
impervious surface but not less than $2,300. The full fee schedule can be found at:
https://edocs.rentonwa.gov/Documents/browse.aspx?id=8217302&dbid=1&repo=CityofRenton
TRANSPORTATION/STREET COMMENTS
1. The proposed project fronts Union Ave NE to the west. To meet the City’s complete street standards for a minor
arterial, a minimum ROW width of 91 feet is required. Per RMC 4-6-060 half of street improvements as taken
from the ROW centerline shall be required and include a 54-foot paved road (27 feet each side), an 8-foot
parking lane, a 0.5-foot curb, an 8 foot planting strip, and a 8 foot sidewalk.
a. Frontage improvements are not required for interior remodels of any value not involving a building
addition; therefore, frontage improvements are not required. If, however, the proposal was to
change, frontage improvements may be required.
2. All walkways that service the buildings shall be ADA compliant.

3. Sites that generate 20 or more net new peak hour trips (either in the AM peak or PM peak) are required to do a
traffic impact analysis. The trips should be calculated based on the guidelines of the current ITE Trip Generation
Manual. Refer to the attached policy guidelines for traffic impact analysis for guidelines. If the site generates 20
or more new peak hour trips in either AM peak or PM peak, then applicant should contact the City to get
information of the locations where traffic analysis is required.
a. A TIA dated February 2023 was prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. and submit with the land
use application. The TIA discusses traffic impacts at subject intersections through a Level Of Service (LOS)
analysis and includes background growth rates along with multiple pipeline projects (intersections,
growth rates and pipeline projects were previously accepted by City staff through Kimley-Horn’s project
scoping). The TIA concludes that, at the 2024 horizon year, the LOS for each subject intersection were
moderately affected and resulted in LOS’s that were within the acceptable limits allowed by the City’s
Comprehensive Plan and recommends that no mitigation is necessary. Staff concurs with this assessment.
b. The TIA concluded that the proposed development would generate a reduction of approximately 70 net
new average weekday daily trips. During the weekday AM peak hour, the project would generate
approximately 60 net new trips (32 inbound and 28 outbound). During the weekday PM peak hour, the
project would generate approximately 37 net new trips (14 inbound and 23 outbound). Staff concurs with
this assessment.
4. Transportation impact fees are assessed based on the net new PM Peak trips or more specifically the impact fee
accounts for the proposed use and a credit for the existing tenant space is given provided that the building does
not remain vacant for more than 3 years otherwise no credit will be given. Transportation impact fees will be
assessed at the of building permit issuance. Currently the application is noting that there will be 37 net new PM
Peak Hour trips.
5. A transportation concurrency memo will be provided as a separate document.
GENERAL COMMENTS
1. The fees listed are for 2023. The fees that are current at the time of the respective permit issuance will be levied.
Please see the City of Renton website for the current fee schedule.
2. Retaining walls that are 4 feet or taller from bottom of footing and stormwater detention vaults will require a
separate building permit. Structural calculations and plans prepared by a licensed engineer will be required as
part of the building permit review.
3. All civil plans shall conform to the current City of Renton survey and drafting standards. Current drafting standards
can be found on the City of Renton website.
4. A separate plan submittal will be required for a construction permit for utility work and street improvements. All
