The following comments on development and permitting issues are based on the pre-application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision-makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Community & Economic Development Administrator, Public Works Administrator, Planning Director, and City Council). Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The Development Regulations are available online at www.rentonwa.gov. Project Proposal: Based on the submittal materials provided, the applicant proposes to operate a day care center within an existing single-family home located at 2331 NE 12th St (APN 0823059147). The site is approximately 9,975 sq. ft. in size and is located in the Residential-8 dwelling units per net acre (R-8) zone and Residential Medium Density (MD) land use designation. The proposed day care center would operate out of the existing one-story, 1,300 sq. ft. single-family home constructed in 1957. Two accessory structures are also constructed on the site behind the primary structure. Work proposed includes the construction of a 1,500 sq. ft. exterior play area in the rear yard and the replacement of various fence sections on the site. Vehicular access to the site would remain via the existing driveway off of NE 12th St. COR Maps, the City’s mapping system, indicates no critical areas located on the subject. No trees are proposed for removal. The applicant indicated the intent to offer childcare between 7am and 6pm, Monday through Friday, with three (3) to five (5) employees. Current Use: The site is developed with an existing 1,300 sq. ft. single-family home with two accessory structures. Zoning: The subject property is zoned Residential-8 (R-8) du/ac with a land use designation of Residential Medium Density. Based on applicant’s description of the proposed day care, which indicates the building would be rented, the use would be classified as a “Day Care Center”. Per RMC 4-11-040.E, a “day care center” is defined as a day care operation licensed by the State of Washington (WAC 388-73-014), for thirteen (13) or more children in any twenty four (24) hour period, or any number of children in a nonresidential structure. The City’s Zoning Use Table Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-2-060 allows Day Care Centers in the R-8 zone with an approved Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit. Per RMC 4-11-040.F, a “Family Day Care” is defined as a day care operation licensed by the State of Washington (WAC 388-73-014), caring for twelve (12) or fewer children in any twenty four (24) hour period within the caregiver’s place of residence. Family day cares are permitted accessory use in the R-8 zone. The primary use on the site must be a single-family residence. Conditional Use (Hearing Examiner): A conditional use is a land use which may be permitted within a zoning district following review by staff to establish conditions mitigating impacts of the use and to assure compatibility with other uses in the district. Staff will consider the following criteria when reviewing a request for a conditional use permit: 7 1. Consistency with Plans and Regulations: The proposed use shall be compatible with the general goals, objectives, policies and standards of the Comprehensive Plan, the zoning regulations and any other plans, programs, maps or ordinances of the City of Renton. 2. Appropriate Location: The proposed location shall not result in the detrimental overconcentration of a particular use within the City or within the immediate area of the proposed use. The proposed location shall be suited for the proposed use. 3. Effect on Adjacent Properties: The proposed use at the proposed location shall not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property. 4. Compatibility: The proposed use shall be compatible with the scale and character of the neighborhood. 5. Parking: Adequate parking is, or will be made, available. 6. Traffic: The use shall ensure safe movement for vehicles and pedestrians and shall mitigate potential effects on the surrounding area. 7. Noise, Light and Glare: Potential noise, light and glare impacts from the proposed use shall be evaluated and mitigated. 8. Landscaping: Landscaping shall be provided in all areas not occupied by buildings, paving, or critical areas. Additional landscaping may be required to buffer adjacent properties from potentially adverse effects of the proposed use. Development Standards: The project is subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development Standards for Residential Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application (noted as “R-8 standards” herein). Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone is 5,000 square feet for parcels being subdivided. Minimum lot width is 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet for corner lots; minimum lot depth is 80 feet. The width of lots at their foremost points (i.e., the points where the side lot lines intersect with the street ROW line) cannot be less than 80% of the required lot width (40 feet for R-8 zone), except in cases of lots on a street curve or the turning circle of a cul-de-sac, which must have a minimum of 35 feet. Lots abutting both a public street and a driveway tract are classified as corner lots. No changes to the existing lot are proposed. The existing lot appears to comply with the dimensional requirements for the R-8 zone. Building Standards – The R-8 standards allow a maximum building coverage of 50% of the lot area. The maximum impervious coverage in the R-8 zone is 65%. The maximum wall plate height is restricted to 24 feet, and the buildings shall not be more than two stories. Roofs with a pitch equal to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six (6) vertical feet from the maximum wall plate height; common rooftop features, such as chimneys, may project an additional four (4) vertical feet from the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical projections (e.g., decks, railings, etc.) shall not extend above the maximum wall plate height unless the projection is stepped back one-and-a-half (1.5) horizontal feet from each façade for each one (1) vertical foot above the maximum w all plate height. Detached accessory structures are restricted to a maximum wall plate height of 12 feet. The gross floor area must be less than that of the primary structure. Accessory structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. No changes to the existing building are proposed. The proposal’s compliance with the building standards would be verified at the time of building permit review. Building Coverage – The R-8 zone allows a maximum building coverage of 50% of the lot area. No building expansions are proposed. Impervious Surface Area – The maximum impervious surface would be limited to 65%. Impervious surface requirements would be verified at the time of land use and building permit application. Refuse and Recycling Areas – Refuse and recycling areas need to meet the requirements of RMC 4-4-090, “Refuse and Recyclables Standards.” For office, educational, and institutional developments, a minimum of two (2) square feet per every 1,000 square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided for recyclable deposit areas and a minimum of four (4) square feet per 1,000 square feet of building area. The applicant would be required to submit a site plan depicting a refuse and recyclable area compliant with RMC 4-4-090 with the land use application. 8 Fences/Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences or retaining walls as part of this project, the location must be designated on the landscape plan or grading plan. A fence and/or wall detail should also be included on the plan. A fence taller than 6 feet shall require a building permit or an explicit exemption from the Building Official. A retaining wall that is 4 feet or taller, as measured by the vertical distance from the bottom of the footing to the finish grade at the top of the wall requires a building permit. A fence shall not be constructed on top of a retaining wall unless the total combined height of the retaining wall and the fence does not exceed the allowed height of a standalone fence. For more information about fences and retaining walls refer to RMC 4-4-040.

The state is requiring that the SFR (R-3 occupancy classification) needs to be changed to day care facility (E occupancy classification). The determining factor is the number of number of children, the ages of the children and the location of exits from the from the childcare rooms. If, based on the answers to these questions, a change of occupancy classification from an R-3 to an E is required, a building permit must be obtained. The applicant must show how building meets chapter 10, Change of Occupancy, of the 2021 International Existing Building Code as well as the provisions of the 2017 ICC ANSI A117.1 Accessibility Code. It would be expected that the design/construction documents would be prepared by a professional designer/architect.
