Re: City of Renton Substantial Development Permit No. LUA22- 000011
Ecology Permit No. 2023-NWRO-6733
Dear Lori Obeyesekere:
On March 2, 2023, the Department of Ecology (Ecology) received notice that the City of Renton
(City) has approved with conditions your application for a Substantial Development Permit
(SDP) for a mixed-use development composed of 385 dwelling units, and 1,500 square feet of
retail space for an apartment complex composed of three, four- story buildings. The project is
located at 4350 Lake Washington Blvd N within a High Intensity shoreline environment
designation along May Creek.
By law, local governments must review all SDPs for compliance with:
• The Shoreline Management Act (Chapter 90.58 RCW),
• The SDP approval criteria (WAC 173-27-150), and
• The Renton Shoreline Master Program.
Local governments, after reviewing SDPs for compliance, are required to submit them to
Ecology. We have received your SDP.
What Happens Next?

disagrees with any aspect of this permit to appeal the decision to the state Shorelines Hearings
Board (SHB). You must wait for the conclusion of an appeal before you can begin the activities
