Environmental Impacts Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report LUA14-00141S, fCF, MOO, SA-A Page 4 of 27 The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Deportments ond Divisions to determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable impacts: a. Earth Impacts: The ground surface of the subject site is flat. The 11,288 square foot site is improved with paved surface parking, a two-story building with general office space on the lower floor and five (5) apartment units on the upper floor, and 510 square feet of landscaping. The existing building footprint is 4,575 square feet or 40.5% of the lot. The site's steepest slope is approximately 2 to 5 percent. The existing impervious surface runoff is collected in a catch basin within the drive aisle and conveyed in a piped conveyance system to Park Ave N to the east (Exhibit B); impervious surfaces would be roughly 95.5%. No site excavation work or filling of soil or any changes to the existing drainage is proposed by the applicant. The building will be required to undergo upgrades to the existing structure including: seismic upgrades, fire alarm system and fire sprinkler system throughout the building. Site grading and/or excavation is not required under the scope of the work. The only construction activity affecting soil will be landscape work occurring in existing planting beds and installation of 4 x 4 posts for the new refuse and recycling enclosure. This work will be completed by hand within 3 to 5 days to minimize potential impacts. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. b. Environmental Health i. Environmental Health Hazards Impacts: It is not anticipated that the project would not significantly impact environmental health. The applicant is proposing interior and exterior upgrades to the existing structure. The majority of the construction work, roughly 95%, will be interior tenant improvements to convert the interior space from apartments to second level offices. The tenants have already been relocated to other housing units. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. ii. Noise Impacts: During construction, equipment operation would temporarily increase noise levels in the vicinity of the project. Construction vehicles are required to have mufflers to reduce some of the temporary impact of construction noise. In addition, the applicant has indicated that the construction work hours will be restricted to the hours between seven o'clock (7:00) a.m. and six o'clock (6:00) p.m., Monday through Friday (with limited interior work on weekends). The proposed work hours meet or exceed the standard hours permitted by the City of Renton for commercial construction activities. Work on Saturdays shall be restricted to the hours between nine o'clock (9:00) a.m. and eight o'clock (8:DO) p.m. No work shall be permitted on Sundays (Exhibit 9). ERC/Site Plan Report City of Renton Department af Community & omic Development Environmental Rev Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report 149 PARK AVENUE NORTH (PUGET SOUND REGIONAL SERVICES) WA14-001415, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of December 1, 2014 Page 5 of 27 The project may result in long-term noise increases due to the vehicular activities associated with a change in use from 5 residential units to additional commercial office space development. The proposed construction dates are December 15, 2014 through April 30, 2015. The office use will maintain roughly 30 employees. The proposed site plan maintains keeping the trash receptacles and delivery areas in its current location off the alley, which is not 50 feet from residential development. The applicant is proposing to enclose the trash receptacles with a 6-foot high wood fence and a 30.6 square foot interior planter strip east of the trash enclosure to provide a landscape buffer from the urban parking lot. Moreover, the increase in noise is anticipated to be minimal based on the change in use and the existing traffic noise generated from Park Ave N and N 2°' St. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation needed. Nexus: Not applicable. c. Transportation Impacts: Access to the site is served via two locations, primary entrance from Park Ave N and a second access from the alley between N 2nd St and N 1st St. The access to Park Ave N allows for both left and right turning movements. Transit service is available on Park Ave N with bus stops located one block north and south. The applicant is proposing to reduce the number of functional paved surface parking stalls from 18 to 17 stalls in order to serve the proposed change in land use. A surface bicycle rack is proposed near the mechanical equipment near the center of the building (Exhibit 2).

The conclusions drawn would be that the change in use would not create a significant adverse impact on traffic operations at or near the site, provided that the applicant provides Code required transportation impact fees. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. d. Fire & Police Impacts: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicated that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed development, subject to the condition that the applicant provides Code required improvements and fees. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable.

H. ADM/NSTRATIVE SITE PLAN REVIEW FINDINGS OF FACT: 1. The applicant, David Heinen, Barking Dog Design, is requesting Administrative Site Plan Review and Environmental "SEPA" Review for a change in land use from attached residential to general office use on the second floor. 2. The project renovation is primarily interior tenant improvements to convert the second floor from five (5) apartments to general office space. The second floor is rectangular in shape and measures 104'-5" by 42' -0" (4,385.5 square feet). 3. The 11,288 SF (0.26 acres) site, Parcel No. 722400-0100, is located within the Commercial Corridor (CC) land use designation and Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning classification as well as Urban Design District 'D'. 4. The subject property is located at the southwest corner of Park Avenue North and North 2nd Street. 5. The first floor of the building is used as general office space and is occupied by Puget Sound Regional Services. Upon completion of the change in land use and tenant improvements to the building, the entire building will be owner occupied. 6. The net floor area of Level 1 is 4,352 square feet and the net floor area of Level 2 is 3,958 square feet, for a combined net floor area of 8,310 square feet. 7. The proposed building height will remain at 18'-10". 8. The tenant improvement of the subject site includes the following: enclosure of an existing exterior stairway, shear wall upgrades to the exterior fa,;ades due to required seismic improvements to the building, new refuse and recycling enclosure, new roof top mechanical equipment and screening, landscaping upgrades, reduction of surface parking stalls by 5.5%, and a new 4" water line for a new fire sprinkler system under Park Ave N. 9. RMC 4-4-090 requires the applicant provide an onsite collection point for refuse and recyclables. The applicant is requesting a refuse and recycling enclosure location modification in order to allow the trash enclosure to be located closer than 50 feet from a residential development (Exhibit 10). The commercial trash containers are currently located in one of the existing parking stalls at the southwest corner of the lot. 10. The applicant is proposing to retain driveway access from Park Ave N as well as secondary access through the public alley between N 2nd St and N 1st St. 11. The site is bordered to the west and south by a single family residential, north by apartments, and east by a dental office. 12. The massing of the structure is most prominently visible from Park Ave N and North 2nd St (Exhibit 14). 13. The existing structure has a flat roof. As part of the tenant improvements, a new rooftop mechanical equipment and screening will be added. The screening will extend approximately 4 feet (4') above the surface of the rooftop.

The primary building entrance will remain unchanged from the paved parking area. Pedestrian access from Park Ave N will also remain. The existing doors on N 2nd St and the alley will also remain unchanged (Exhibit 3). 17. The site is located within Aquifer Protection Area (APA) Zone 1, the Wellfield Capture Zones (one year, five year, and ten year) and the high seismic hazard area. 18. The ground surface of the site is flat. 19. The applicant is proposing to retain 17 surface parking stalls on the south half of the lot (Exhibit 3). 20. No trees are located on the site. Five mature ornamental plum trees are located in the planter strip on N 2nd Street. These street trees are diseased, decayed and hollow to various extents. 21. No site excavation work or changes to the existing drainage are proposed. 22. The conceptual landscape plan submitted with the application includes the installation of landscaping, primarily along the perimeters of the building. Vegetation proposed includes Buxus Sempervirens 'Suffruticosa' (Edging Boxwood), Buxus Sempervirens 'Graham Blandy' (Graham Blandy Columnar Boxwood), and Vinca Minor ground cover. 23.

Net density is calculated ofter public rights-of-way, private access easements, and critical areas are deducted from the gross acreage of the site. Not applicable. Lat Dimensions: Per RMC 4-2-120A the minimum lot size, in the CA zone, is 5,000 square feet. Not applicable. Setbacks: Per RMC 4-2-120A the CA zoning classification requires a minimum front yard setback of 10 feet which may be reduced to zero feet during the site plan development review process, provided blank walls are not located within the reduced setback. There is a maximum front yard setback of 15 feet. The CA zone has no rear or side yard setback except 15 feet if lot abuts or is adjacent to a residential zone. The following table contains setbacks for the existing structure (Exhibit 3): East Front Yard North Front Yard West Side Yard South Side Ya rd Setback (Park Ave N) Setback (N 2°' St) Setback (Alley) Setback O' O' 2 1-8 11 40'-4" The tenant improvements comply with the setback requirements of the zone for legally established nonconforming structures. Per RMC 4-10-0SOA.2 any legally established nonconforming structure may remain, although such structure does not conform with the provisions of the Renton Municipal Code; provided, that the structure is kept in a safe and secure condition. Building Height: Per RMC 4-2-120A building height is restricted to 50 feet unless a conditional use permit is obtained. The height of the proposed structure would be 18'-10" in height (Exhibit 5). The proposal complies with the height requirements of the zone. Building Standards: Per RMC 4-2-120A the allowed lot coverage is 65 percent for proposals within the CA classification. The existing general office building has a footprint size of 4,575 square feet and has a lot coverage of 40.5% (4,575 sf/ 11,288 sf= 40.5%). As such, the project would be in compliance with the maximum building coverage standards. Landscaping: Per RMC 4-4-070 ten feet of on-site landscaping is required along all public street frontages, with the exception af areas for required walkways and driveways or those projects with reduced setbacks. A conceptual landscape plan was submitted with the project application (Exhibit 4). The landscape plan includes a planting plan; the proposed species largely consist of Buxus Sempervirens 'Suffruticosa' (Edging Boxwood), Buxus Sempervirens 'Graham Blandy' (Graham Blandy Columnar Boxwood), and Vinca ERC/Site Plan Report City of Renton Deportment of Community & omic Development Environmental Re Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report 149 PARK AVENUE NORTH {PUGET SOUND REGIONAL SERVICES} LUA14-00141S, ECF, MDD, SA-A Report of December 1, 2014 Page 9 of 27 Minor ground cover. The applicant is proposing 12 Vinca Minor ground cover plants per tree square in a triangular pattern with spacing at 9 feet (9') in any given direction within the existing tree spaces. Organic mulch is proposed to a depth of 8" (or as necessary not to destroy existing tree roots and provide 2" -3" layer of organic mulch top-dressing). The right-of-way planter strip on North 2nd Street is missing two of the identified seven mature ornamental plum trees on North 2nd Street (Exhibit 4). Additionally there is an existing grate and frame on Park Ave N that is missing a tree. There is a 2'-4" landscaping strip on N 2nd St, back of sidewalk, that will be retained with Vinca Minor ground cover (230 square feet). There is also a 2'-8" landscaping strip along the alley, on the west side of the building, which will retain the existing Vinca Minor ground cover (60 square feet). Landscaping, in the amount of 202.4 square feet will be installed between the south facing elevation and the parking lot and portions of the west facing elevation and the alley. The proposed plants include 2-gallon (2-GAL) edging boxwood at 2'-0" on center. Mature height is 2 feet (2') with organic mulch around the roots to a depth of 1'-0". A total of six (6) square high glaze planter pots, measuring 3 feet {3') tall and 1'-4" wide, will be incorporated within the planter strips near the front entrance at the center of the parking lot. The glazed planters, along the front of the building, will also include using 2-gallon (2-GAL) edging boxwood shrubs. Street trees and ground cover are also required to be located within the right-of-way. No new street trees were proposed on the landscape plan. Underground sprinkler systems are required to be installed and maintained for all landscaped areas. The sprinkler system shall provide full water coverage of the planted areas specified on the plan. The applicant will be required to submit a landscape maintenance surety device for a period of no less than three years in sufficient amount as determined by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to temporary occupancy permit. A modification request was submitted with the project application materials, which included a justification in compliance with RMC 4-9-250D (Exhibit 10). The modification is required to comply with the following criteria: a. Substantially implements the policy direction of the policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the Community Design Element and the proposed modification is the minimum adjustment necessary to implement these policies and objectives; b. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment; c. Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity; d. Conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code; e. Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and f. Will not create adverse impacts to other property(ies) in the vicinity. The existing building is located along the north and east property lines. The applicant is not proposing to increase the building footprint or increase the existing width of the landscape strip between the building and the public right-of-way on N 2nd St (Exhibit 8). No landscaping exists between the building and the sidewalk on Park Ave N. The remainder of the east property line consists of asphalt paving. The applicant contends that the paving is necessary to maintain the minimum required parking spaces. Alterations or small additions determined by the Community and Economic Development Administrator not to warrant improvements to the entire site can be exempt from landscaping requirements identified in RMC 4-4- 070F. Staff concurs with the applicant that any replacement of parking spaces with landscaping would reduce the number of onsite parking stalls, creating a non-conformance as it pertains to the required number of onsite parking spaces per RMC 4-4-080 for general office use. The applicant is proposing additional landscaping in front of the building, approximately 1' -6", which will contribute towards meeting the landscaping requirement. The applicant is also proposing additional landscaping within the planter strips along the north and west sides of the building. The applicant is requesting a modification from providing additional landscaping between the refuse and recycling enclosure and the alley. The ERC/Site Plan Report City of Renton Department of Community & omic Development Environmental Rev ___ Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report 149 PARK AVENUE NORTH {PUGET SOUND REGIONAL SERVICES) LUA14-00141S, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of December 1, 2014 Page 10 of 27 reduction of the amount of onsite landscaping between the surface parking and the street (Park Ave N) and alley and the parking lot or refuse and recycling enclosure will not create adverse impacts to other properties in the vicinity. The landscape plan would provide visual relief, define areas of pedestrian circulation, and adds to the aesthetic enjoyment of the area. Underground sprinkler systems are required to be repaired or provided anew for all landscaped areas. The proposed irrigation system shall provide full water coverage of all planted areas specified on the plan. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the site plan and requested modification. Refuse and Recyclables: Per RMC 4-4-090 for retail/eating and drinking establishments a minimum of 5 square feet per every 1,000 square feet af building gross floor area shall be provided for recyclable deposit areas and a minimum of 10 square feet per 1,000 square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided far refuse deposit areas with a tatal minimum area of 100 square feet. Outdoor refuse and recyclables deposit areas and collection points shall not be located within fifty feet {50') of a property zoned RC, R-1, R-4, R-8, R-10, R-14, or RM, except by approval through the site development plan review process, or via the modification process if exempt from site development plan review. Based on the proposal for a gross building total of 9,300 square foot of general office space, a minimum area of 100 square feet of refuse and recycle area would be required. The applicant is proposing an area of 110.5 square feet, measuring 8'-7" deep and 12'-10" wide, with a 12'-0" wide gate on the north side of the enclosure. The enclosure would be constructed using 4 x 4 posts (painted 'smokescreen,' semi-gloss finish) and cedar fence assembly (1 x 4 tight knot cedar boards between posts, Y," air space between boards, stained boards cabot semi-solid stain 'beechwood gray'). A modification request was submitted with the project's site plan application materials, which included a justification in compliance with RMC 4-9-250D. The applicant's justification states that the location of the trash enclosure, directly off the alley, is less visually impactful than anywhere else on the site. In order to meet compliance with RMC 4-4-090, the outdoor refuse and recyclables deposit areas and collection points must not be located within fifty feet (SO') of a residential property. Under the code, the applicant would be required to place the refuse and recyclables deposit area further east towards the main entrance of the building and within greater pedestrian and vehicular visibility from Park Ave N. The proposal includes enclosing the trash containers at their current location or where it currently exists. The alley location allows for easy and safe collection services, as the waste collection vehicles use the alley as the collection route. The applicant contends that the surrounding residential lots also use the alley for storing and collection of trash and recyclables. By placing the refuse and recyclables deposit area further from the alley, additional turning movements will be created for the garbage and recycling trucks, which will reduce efficiency and create additional vehicular conflicts onsite within the parking lot. The proposed modification would not create adverse impacts to other properties in the vicinity and the 6-foot tall wood enclosure would improve the existing aesthetics at the southwest property corner. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the requested location to allow the refuse and recycling enclosure to maintain its current location at the southwest corner of the lot. The applicant is also requesting a modification to the urban design regulations for the requirement to provide a roof as part of a standard enclosure requirement per RMC 4-3-lOOE within the Urban Design 'D' Overlay District (Exhibit 10). The applicant contends that a higher, roofed structure would be more visually obtrusive for both the low-rise nature of the area as well as adjacent residential buildings. The applicant states that the existing and continued office use will not produce the type of trash (such as typical commercial district restaurant or grocery store use) that would require overhead or roofed structure to keep the birds out of the enclosure. The proposed trash enclosure, with three walls and a gate, meets the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection, and maintainability intended by the Code. The lack of roof would not create adverse impacts to other ERC/Site Plan Report City of Renton Department a/ Community & nomic Development Environmental Re_·~ _ Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report 149 PARK AVENUE NORTH {PUGET SOUND REGIONAL SERVICES) _LlJA14-001415, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of December 1, 2014 Page 11 of 27 properties in the vicinity and would reduce the size and appearance of the structure on the site. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the requested roof modification. Vehicles: Per RMC4-2-120 a connection shall be provided for site-to-site vehicle access ways, where topographically feasible, to allow a smooth flow of traffic across abutting CA parcels without the need to use a street. Access may comprise the aisle between raws of parking stalls but is not allowed between a building and o public street. This section of code is intended to provide vehicular connections to abutting commercial uses. The existing proposal is bordered by right-of-way to the north, east and west. An established single family use borders the parcel to the south. The existing vehicular connections to the right-of-ways are established and no additional vehicular connectivity or mitigation is required. Critical Areas: There are no identified critical areas located on the site. Parking: The parking regulations, RMC 4-4-080, require a specific number of off-street parking stalls be provided. The following ratios would be applicable to the site: Use SF Ratio Required SQ.aces General Office 8,310 A minimum of 2.0 per 1,000 square feet of net Min: 16.6 floor area and a maximum af 4.5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of net floor area. Max: 37.4 Based on these use requirements, a minimum of 17 parking spaces and a maximum of 38 stalls would be required in order to meet code. The applicant is proposing a total of 17 parking spaces with no change to the existing parking configuration. Therefore, the applicant is compliant with the parking stall requirement regulation of the code. Sidewalks, Pathways, and Pedestrian Easements: Pedestrian sidewalks on Park Ave N and N 2nd St and a public alley between North 2nd Street and North 1st Street, provide for safe and efficient pedestrian access around the perimeter of the site. Internal pathways and private pedestrian connections function to provide safe and efficient pedestrian access throughout the site. The existing building's primary access is through the parking lot; however the building maintains a direct exit to all sides of the building. The applicant is also proposing a new storefront system that encloses the existing open-air stairwell at the southeast corner of the building. No change to the stairway footprint is proposed. A covered concrete walkway serves as a direct connection between the asphalt parking lot and the south entrance (Exhibit 3). c.

Building Location and Orientation: Intent: To ensure visibility of businesses and to establish active, lively uses along sidewalks and pedestrian pathways. To organize buildings for pedestrian use and so that natural light is available to other structures and open space. To ensure an appropriate transition between buildings, parking areas, and other land uses; and increase privacy for residential uses. Guidelines: Developments shall enhance the mutual relationship of buildings with each other, as well as with the roads, open space, and pedestrian amenities while working to create a pedestrian oriented environment. Lots shall be configured to encourage variety and so that natural light is available to buildings and open space. The privacy of individuals in residential uses shall be provided far. Standard: The availability of natural light (both direct and reflected) and direct sun exposure to nearby buildings and open space (except parking areas) shall be considered when siting structures. ,/ Staff Comment: The existing building is located on the north side of the lot, which provides solar access throughout the site as well as the surrounding parcels. The existing building was designed to allow for adequate light and air circulation to the building and the site. The redesign of the structure would not result in excessive shading of the property. In addition, there is ample area surrounding the building to provide normal airflow. Standard: Buildings shall be oriented to the street with clear connections to the sidewalk. ,/ Staff Comment: The applicant proposes to provide additional street orientation to Park Ave N by providing a new storefront system that encloses the existing open-air stairwell at the southeast corner of the building. Standard: Buildings with residential uses located at the street level shall be set back from N/A the sidewalk a minimum of ten feet (10') and feature substantial landscaping between the sidewalk and the building or have the ground floor residential uses raised above street level for residents privacy. 2. Building Entries: Intent: To make building entrances convenient to locate and easy to access, and ensure that building entries further the pedestrian nature of the fronting sidewalk and the urban character of the district. Guidelines: Primary entries shall face the street, serve as a focal point, and allow space for social interaction. All entries shall include features that make them easily identifiable while reflecting the architectural character of the building. The primary entry shall be the most visually prominent entry. Pedestrian access to the building from the sidewalk, parking lots, and/or other areas shall be provided and shall enhance the overall quality of the pedestrian experience on the site. Standard: A primary entrance of each building shall be located on the fm;ade facing a street, shall be prominent, visible from the street, connected by a walkway to the public sidewalk, and include human-scale elements. Staff Comment: The existing building is proposing limited changes to the first floor level. The primary entrance of the existing building faces the parking lot. The proposal includes a ,/ new storefront system that encloses the existing open-air stairwell at the southeast corner of the building. The proposal has achieved locating a prominent exit on the fa~ade facing the street. A building's scale refers to its perceived size in relation to a person (i.e., human scale) or neighboring structures (i.e., architectural scale). Examples of human-scaled architectural elements may include: windows, doors, porches, vestibules, stoops, awnings at entrance level, or other ground-level pedestrian amenities that help establish an inviting, pedestrian-oriented streetscape. ,/ Standard: A primary entrance of each building shall be made visibly prominent by incorporating architectural features such as a far;ade overhang, trellis, large entry doors, and/or ornamental lighting.

ONSITE IMPACTS: ... < ' >: ';, "' . : } ' ', ., '", , Structure Placement: Provisions for privacy and noise reduction by building placement, spacing and orientation. The project is located in an area of commercial and residential uses. The surrounding parcels are zoned Commercial Arterial (CA), Residential-10 or Residential-8. The existing structure will retain its location and orientation (Exhibit 3). The applicant is proposing a total of 17 surface parking stalls. The building meets the front yard setbacks through site plan review and the legal nonconforming status for side yards due to the lot being adjacent to a residential zone. All service elements have been located away from the pedestrian oriented spaces in order to minimize their impact on the pedestrian environment. The proposed change in use from residential to commercial use on the second level is anticipated to be compatible with future surrounding uses as permitted in the CA zone. Structure Scale: Consideration of the scale of proposed structures in relation to natural characteristics, views and vistas, site amenities, sunlight, prevailing winds, and pedestrian and vehicle needs. The massing of the existing building is most prominently visible from Park Ave N and N 2nd St (Exhibit 14). The scale and bulk of the building is reduced through the use of differing materials on the building fa~ades and landscaping. Building materials include hardiepanel siding, thermal break aluminum/glass storefront system, cedar trim, and enclosure of an existing exterior stairway with glass infill along Park Ave N. The existing building footprint size is 4,575 square feet (sf) and has a lot coverage of 40.5% on the 11,288 square foot site. The proposed buildings comply with the size and bulk requirements of the CA zone. The existing building was designed appropriately to allow adequate light and air circulation to the buildings and the site. The design of the structures would not result in excessive shading of the property. In addition, there is ample area surrounding the building to provide normal airflow. The primary building entrance will remain unchanged or via the paved parking lot. A secondary employee exit will also remain onto Park Ave N. The existing double doors on N 2nd St and again on the alley will also remain unchanged (Exhibits 3, 5, 6 & 7). Natural Features: Protection of the natural landscape by retaining existing vegetation and soils, using topography to reduce undue cutting and filling, and limiting impervious surfaces. The site does not contain any trees within the property limits. The applicant is proposing additional landscaping throughout the site in order to enhance the appearance and potentially reduce the amount of impervious surface area. The planter strip on N 2nd St is a conglomeration of asphalt, soil and five (5) mature ornamental plum trees that are diseased, decayed and hollow to various extents. Staff recommends, as a condition of approval, the applicant be required to remove the asphalt in the parking strip and replace the ornamental plum trees with 'Apollo' 3 sugar maple trees (no substitutes or exceptions), spaced 40 feet from the stop sign for the first tree, then two (2) more trees spaced at least 30 feet on-center. The applicant is proposing ground cover within a 4-foot by 4-foot square around the base of the existing trees. Staff recommends ground cover in the areas around the trees in lieu of mulch or a tree grate and frame, plus lawn in place of existing soil or asphalt. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant use at least 2-gallon (2-GAL) container shrubs at planting. The revised landscaping plant schedule and landscaping plan shall be submitted to and approved by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to construction permit approval. Site grading and/or excavation are not required under the scope of the work.

Park Avenue will be used for the haul-route • Typical freight deliveries would occur via Park Avenue North (typical independent freight operators normal route) Measures to be implemented to minimize dust, traffic, transportation, erosion, mud,Doise • The majority of work will be interior tenant improvement (current owner/occupied tenant will continuing business operations on the lower floor). Noise and dust impact will be minimal to non-existent to adjacent properties. • No change occurs to the existing improved site. Site grading/excavation is not required under the scope of work. The only construction activity affecting soil/erosion/mud will be the landscape work occurring in existing planting beds and installation of 4 x 4 posts for the new dumpster enclosure. This will be accomplished through hand excavation. Both the dumpster project and landscaping projects will be completed within 3-5 days to minimize potential of mud/erosion • Construction related traffic will consist of typical construction 'pick-up' trucks, passenger-type vans and small cube vans that can be accommodated within the existing parking lot/parking spaces. Demolition of interior walls and finishes will occur early in the project and will be disposed of using drop dumpsters located in the existing parking area. Pick up and delivery of the drop dumpsters will occur during weekdays between 9-5 Special Work Hours (weekends/late nights): • Some interior 'tenant improvement' work may occur on weekends between 8am - 5pm. Work vehicles would use the existing site parking lot. Work would be limited to the building interior with minimal to no noise/dust impacts to adjacent properties • As noted above, new mechanical units would be installed during one weekend Tniffic control: • A new 4" water line is required for a new fire sprinkler line to the building. This line will be installed under Park Avenue from the water main under Park Avenue to the east (Park Avenue) side of the building • Rooftop mechanical units will be installed via construction equipment located in the existing off-street parking lot -no street closure/traffic control will be required EXHIBIT 9 BARKING.

Trash Enclosure Location -we are requesting the closure location be placed closer then 50' from a residential development and that the location be directly off the alley (where it currently exists) • The alley location is less visually impactful as any location 50' form a residential property would placed the enclosure in clearer view of Park avenue N and very close to the existing building entry • The alley location allows for easy service as the trash and recycle service vehicles use the alley for collection • The existing surrounding residential lots use the alleyway for storing and collection of trash and recyclables 2. Trash Enclosure Configuration -we are requesting a 6' high trash enclose without a roof (roof is required per the Development standards for Commercial Zoning) • A 6' high enclosure would more closely match the existing residential fence heights and forms directly across the alley from the proposed location of the dumpster. We feel a higher, roofed structure would be more visually obtrusive for both the low-rise nature of the existing sites building as well as adjacent residential buildings • The existing and continued office use will not produce the type of trash (such as typical commercial district restaurant or grocery store use) that would require overhead or roofed structure to keep the birds out of the enclosure 3. Planting -we are requesting reduction in minimum on site landscape strip along both North 2nd street and Park Avenue North • The existing building is located along the property line at North 2"d Street • The existing building is located along the property Line at Park Avenue North • Asphalt paving exists along the remainder of the Park Avenue North. This paving is required for site access and to accommodate the required parking. The proposed parking count and configuration remain unchanged under the proposed scope of work • We are proposing to provide vegetation per the Development Standards for Commercial Zoning for the existing planting beds EXHIBIT 10 NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PROPOSED DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE (DNS) A Master Application has been filed and accepted wrth the Department of Community & Economic Development {CED} -Planning Division of the City of Renton.

Directors Report Staffing and Personnel Staffing crisis 40% staff have moved on. Only about 15% have been replaced. 26 FTE open positions, but need to hire about 40 staff due to PT/FT positions and constant turnover. We are currently in a all administrative team drive to hire - every member of the administrative team is working on advertising, recruitment and retention. Jackie will help Chad with advertising to deaf websites. The organization has been pushing bonuses. The organization will be more flexible in some of its previous hiring requirements -for example vehicles for transporting clients is no longer a requirement and PSRS will need to find alternate solutions for this support. There was a general conversation about employment, PSRS has never been in a situation like this before. Remind managers of their recent supervisor training and to be supportive of direct care staff. Eric mentioned that emotional intelligence training might be a good. There is concern about the effect this staffing crisis is having on clients. Client Updates AE has been in and out of the hospital due to mental issues. Employee Orientation and Training PSRS continues to send staff to DDA provided trainings and workshops, as well as ensure that all new hires are trained in and meet the required training. Building/Facility Issues and Management Puget Sound Regional Services Board Meeting Sunday August 24, 2014 Page 1 Upstairs project is moving forward will be discussed later in the meeting -th e are motions that must be passed to move forward. PSRS is hoping to complete the remodel by April 2015, this will be a tight project time line and may be extended as needed. Old Business PSRS Financial Audit and Review Committee(FARC) The FARC continues to meet and work on both routine review of PSRS' financial (AR/ AP) and payroll activity, as well as discuss and develop process and protocols for ongoing management and oversight. Independent Financial Audit PSRS has selected Certified Public Accountant Smith, Bunday, Berman, and Britton to conduct our 2013 independent financial audit, complete our 2013 IRS F-990, review our old terminated 403B plan to ensure accurate termination and review and amend the two Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (SERPs) that PSRS has in place. Robbie Hoskins, Redmond General Insurance, Earthquake and Commercial Insurance Package: Present 2014-2015 Package and hold Q and A PSRS' insurance broker Robbie Hoskins came to the meeting to present information on PSRS's commercial insurance package to the board of directors. Robbie reviewed the lines of coverage and how each coverage area within the policy related to a specific risk area. There was lengthy discussion and conversation about ensuring PSRS had adequate limits in place. Specifically discussed for later review and follow up were the content coverage's for the building, the D&O converges, and the total building insurance for total replacement cost in the event of a catastrophic event. PSRS Building Upstairs Renovation Project PSRS is moving forward with the building remodel plans. We have received proposals from two separate banks - Washington Federal bank (WFB) and Pacific Continental Bank (PCB) -that are being considered. The financing from these banks will be used to pay for the construction project on the building remodel and to payoff of the current mortgage with Bank Of America (BofA). The financing will be done via a non-profit tax free bond financed by one of these banks and backed by the Washington State Housing Finance Commission (WSHFC). The board will need to pass a motion authorizing the PSRS Executive Director Chad Higman to move forward with execution of financing with the selected bank (WFB or PCB) and the WSHFC. The motions passed today may need to be updated or revised after discussions with selected bank and the WSHFC -these entities may require specific language be used in a motion. Currently PSRS is estimating our organization's out of pocket expense (OOPE) for fees to complete this transaction at approximately $165,500.00. This OOPE expense will cover: bank fees for legal services, appraisal, a phase 1 environmental, title policy, feasibility study, fees for lien search, and loan origination fee; WSHFC fees for legal services, application fee and public notice advertising; PSRS project development/execution costs for architect, structural engineer, pre-project planning and assessment, consultation services and a $20Kcontingency for unforeseen expenses. As discussed and supported by the PSRS board in previous meetings, PSRS has submitted a grant application to the Washington State Department of Commerce (DOC) Building Communities Fund (BCF) for $200,000.00 to support this remodel project. It may not be required, but to cover any unforeseen need, the board will need to pass a motion to formalize this support. There was general discussion about the information presented pertaining to the office renovation project and the following motions were proposed, discussed and put to vote: Puget Sound Regional Services Board Meeting Sunday August 24, 2014 Page 2 1. Jackie Blair made a motion to supr_. t the renovation project and to support t .. ~ grant application to the Washington State Department of Commerce Building Communities Fund, as well as formally acknowledging the prior support of the board in for this project and submission of the grant application, Connie seconded, open for discussion, all in favor, no abstentions or nay votes, motion carried and approved. 2. Eric Beck made a motion to authorize Executive Director Chad Higman to select either Washington Federal Bank or Pacific Continental Bank, and to move forward with the project, as well as to represent, act on behalf of PSRS and execute any required loan agreements and/or contracts with the selected bank (WFB or PCB), Jackie Blair seconded, open for discussion, all in favor, no abstentions or nay votes, motion carried and approved. 3. Eric Beck made a motion to support financing backed by the Washington State Housing Finance Commission (WSHFC) and to authorize Executive Director Chad Higman to represent, act on behalf of PSRS and execute any required agreements and/or contracts with the WSHFC, Scott McMurray seconded, open for discussion, all in favor, no abstentions or nay votes, motion carried and approved During discussion Scott brought up that the building trade is very busy at the moment and it may be hard to get contractors -PSRS may have a hard time meeting its; planned deadline given the current construction environment. New Business The June 2014 Financials were presented to the board of directors and discussed. A copy of the entire general ledger for the same period was sent to the executive committee prior to the board meeting. Executive Session (if necessary) None.

Width and Depth -There are no minimum requirements for lot size, lot width or depth within the CA zone at this location. lot Coverage -The CA zone allows a maximum building coverage of 65 percent, or 75 percent if parking is provided within a building or within an on-site parking garage. Because the project is proposed to have surface parking, lot coverage maximum would be 65 percent. Detailed information related to building coverage would be required to be submitted with the land use permit application. Setbacks-Setbacks are the distance between the building and the property line or any private access easement. Setback requirements in the CA zone are as follows: 10 feet minimum for the front yard but may be reduced to zero feet through the Site Plan Review process provided blank walls are not located within the reduced setback; and a 15 foot maximum front yard setback. The proposed structure appears to have a zero front yard and side along a street setback. The reduced setback in areas where the building would be changed would be reviewed during site plan review. Gross Floor Area -There is no mir.;imum requirements for gross floor area within the CA zone. Building Height -The maximum building height that would be allowed in the CA zone is 50 feet. It appears the existing structure i~-2-story and has a height well beneath the SO-foot maximum. Building elevations and detailed descriptions of elements and building materials are required with your land use permit submittal. · Screening -Screening must be· provided for all surface-mounted and roof top utility and ·mechanical equipment. The site plan application will need to include elevations and details for the proposed methods of screening. Refuse and Recycling Areas,-Refuse and recycling areas need to meet the requirements of RMC 4-4-090, "Refuse and Recyclables Standards" (enclosed). In office developments, a minimum of two square feet per every 1,000 square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided for recyclables deposit areas and a minimum of four square feet per 1,000 square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided for refuse deposit areas. A total minimum area of 100 square feet shall be provided for recycling and refuse deposit areas. Furthermore, outdoor refuse and recyclables deposit areas and collection points shall not be located within fifty feet of any residential zone property. Residential zoned property is located to the north and west of the project site. The location and size of the refuse and recyclable area could not be verified with the pre-application materials. If the above requirements cannot be met by the development, the applicant shall submit, with official application, a request for a refuse and recycling modification. This modification request shall include justification as to why the dimensional requirements stipulated above cannot be met. h:\ced\planning\current planning\preapps\13-001533.vanessa\13-001533 (ca residential to office change of use).doc 149 Park Office Bui/di Page 3 of 6 November 14, 2013 Landscaping -Compliance with the landscaping standards is triggered when there is a conversion of a residential use to a non-residential use. Except for critical areas, all portions of the development area not covered by structures, required parking, access, circulation or service areas, must be landscaped with native, drought- resistant vegetative cover. The development standards require that all pervious areas within the property boundaries be landscaped. The minimum on-site landscape width required along street frontages is 10 feet, except where reduced through the site plan development review process. The applicant would be required to provide a 10-foot on-site landscape strip along both N :t" St and Park Ave N, unless a reduction is approved through site plan reveiw. Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) for additional general and specific landscape requirements (enclosed). A conceptual landscape plan and landscape analysis meeting the requirements in RMC 4-8-120D.12, shall be submitted at the time of application for Site Plan Review. Parking -Compliance with the parking regulations is required when an existing building changes all or a portion of a building/structure or land use to a use requiring more parking than the previous use except when located in a shopping center. The following ratios would be applicable to the site: Use Square Footage Qf Use Ratio Required Spaces Existing 5 units Min 1.0 space/ Unit Min: 5 Residential Max: 1.75 spaces/ Unit Max: 8.75 Office 4,672 SF (based on Min 2.0 spaces/ 1,000 SF Min: 9.344 assessors data provided Max: 4.5 spaces / 1,000 SF Max: 21.024 with application) Based on the above information, it appears the change of use would require mare parking then the S existing units require; as such compliance with the parking standards would be triggered. Based on the existing parking lot 19 stalls are provided, which would be one less than required by code, if the two story office building had a net floor oreo of 9,344 SF {double what exists todoy). \A Where practical difficulties exist in meeting parking requirements. the applicant may request a --t.-\.. modification from these standards. The applicant will be required at the time of formal land use · application to provide detailed parking information {i.e. stall and drive aisle dimensions) and calculations of the subject site. It should be noted that the parking regulations specify standard stall dimensions. Surface parking stalls must be a minimum of 9 feet x 20 feet, compact dimensions of BY, feet x 16 feet, and parallel stall dimensions of 9 feet x 23 feet; compact surface parking spaces shall not account for more than 30 percent of the spaces in the surface parking lots. ADA accessible stalls must be a minimum of 8 feet in width by 20 feet in length, with an adjacent access aisle of 8 feet in width for van accessible spaces. The appropriate amount of ADA accessible stalls based on the total number of spaces must be provided.

Access -Driveway widths are limited by the driveway standards, in RMC 4-40801. Pedestrian Access -A pedestrian connection shall be provided from all public entrances to the street, in order to provide direct, clear and separate pedestrian walks from sidewalks to building entries and internally from buildings to abutting properties. Signage -Only one freestanding business sign (restricted to monument/ground signs only) is permitted per street frontage, however pole signs are not permitted within the CA zone. Each sign shall not exceed an area greater than one and one-half square feet for each lineal foot of property frontage that is occupied by the business. In no case shall the sign exceed a total of 300 square feet (150 square feet per face). The ground/monument sign is limited to 5 feet in height. In addition to the permitted freestanding sign, wall signs with a copy area not exceeding 20% of the far;ade, to which it is applied, are also permitted. Building Design Standards -Compliance with Urban Design Regulations, District 'D', is required. See the attached checklist and Renton Municipal Code section 4-3-100.

The site is fully improved with existing parking and small landscape areas. Special site features: • Project is in and Aquifer protection zone and wellfield capture zone • The site is level. Maximum slope varies between approximately 2%-5% for drainage at impervious areas Soil type and drainage conditions: • No site work or excavation is proposed other than incorporation of mulch into existing landscape beds as part of landscaping upgrades • No change to drainage patterns or collection systems are proposed. Current paved parking area (to remain unchanged) drains to catch basins that exit the site to public storm drainage system Proposed use of property and scope of proposed development • The grade level (Level 1) will remain unchanged with current business/office use. Level 2 will be converted from existing apartments to office use. The entire building will be owner occupied by Puget Sound Regional Services. • The scope of the renovation is primarily interior 'Tenant Improvement' to convert the interior space from apartments to second level offices • The building exterior will remain largely unchanged except for enclosure of an existing exterior stairway with glass infill along Park Avenue North and enclosure of four existing facing the parking area to form shear walls due to required seismic improvement to the building Access • Access to the site and building will remain unchanged. Parking count is unchanged. • Parking area access is by use of current curb cut off Park Avenue North and via the paved alley • The primary building entrance will remain unchanged from the paved parking area (with pedestrian access to Park Avenue). The existing doors along Park Avenue North and 2nd Street North will remain unchanged Proposed off-site improvements • None Total estimated construction cost • $650,000 Number, types and size of trees to be removed • No Trees or vegetation will be removed Job site construction trailers • There will be no exterior job site trailers or other contractor office for the scope if this project • Construction activity will be primarily in the interior of the building for the level 2 conversion of apartments to offices Requested modification: 1. Trash Enclosure Location -we are requesting the closure location be placed closer then 50' from a residential development and that the location be directly off the alley (where it currently exists) • The alley location is less visually impactful as any location 50' form a residential property would placed the enclosure in clearer view of Park avenue N and very close to the existing building entry • The alley location allows for easy service as the trash and recycle service vehicles use the alley for collection • The existing surrounding residential lots use the alleyway for storing and collection of trash and recyclables 149 Park Avenue North Project Narrative -PRE13-001533 Page 2 of 3 .. 2. Trash Enclosure Configuration -we are requesting a 6' high trash enclose without a roof (roof is required per the Development standards for Commercial Zoning) • A 6' high enclosure would more closely match the existing residential fence heights and forms directly across the alley from the proposed location of the dumpster. We feel a higher, roofed structure would be more visually obtrusive for both the low-rise nature of the existing sites building as well as adjacent residential buildings • The existing and continued office use will not produce the type of trash (such as typical commercial district restaurant or grocery store use) that would require overhead or roofed structure to keep the birds out of the enclosure 3.

Park Avenue will be used for the haul-route • Typical freight deliveries would occur via Park Avenue North (typical independent freight operators normal route) Measures to be implemented to minimize dust, traffic, transportation. erosion, mud. noise • The majority of work will be interior tenant improvement (current owner/occupied tenant will continuing business operations on the lower floor). Noise and dust impact will be minimal to non-existent to adjacent properties. • No change occurs to the existing improved site. Site grading/excavation is not required under the scope of work. The only construction activity affecting soil/erosion/mud will be the landscape work occurring in existing planting beds and installation of 4 x 4 posts for the new dumpster enclosure. This will be accomplished through hand excavation. Both the dumpster project and landscaping projects will be completed within 3-5 days to minimize potential of mud/erosion • Construction related traffic will consist of typical construction 'pick-up' trucks, passenger-type vans and small cube vans that can be accommodated within the existing parking lot/parking spaces. Demolition of interior walls and finishes will occur early in the project and will be disposed of using drop dumpsters located in the existing parking area. Pick up and delivery of the drop dumpsters will occur during weekdays between 9-5 Special Work Hours (weekends/late nights}: • Some interior 'tenant improvement' work may occur on weekends between 8am - 5pm. Work vehicles would use the existing site parking lot. Work would be limited to the building interior with minimal to no noise/dust impacts to adjacent properties • As noted above, new mechanical units would be installed during one weekend Traffic control: • A new 4" water line is required for a new fire sprinkler line to the building.

Residential apartments will be converted to office space as part of this scope. The office space will be an expansion of the existing owner/occupied office space at the main level. Limited exterior improvements to the building will occur as a result of this scope Pedestrian Building Entries / Pedestrian Circulation: • Existing building entries will remain. The existing primary building entry/lobby is located on the south (parking lot) side of the building. There is an additional secondary building entrance along Park Avenue North and North 2nd Street • Pedestrians may access the primary building entrance via the existing surface parking area. Access to the building is also available directly off Park Avenue North and North 2"d Street Location and Design of Parking / Vehicular Access • The existing surface parking lot will remain unchanged. The existing lot provides the minimum parking spaces required by code. Existing landscape areas between the surface parking area and the existing building will be upgraded with new plantings • Vehicular access will remain unchanged with an existing curb cut at Park Avenue North. The surface parking area is also connected directly to the paved alley to the west Landscapi!lfl • New plantings, supplementing existin~ plantings to remain, will be provided in the existing planting areas along North 2" Street • New plantings will be provided at existing planting areas along the south side of the building, between the parking area and the building • New screening planting will be provided at the new trash/recycle enclosure • The selection of the plant material was chosen to accentuate the the simple but bold horizontal lines of the building architecture Building character. massing rooflines and materials • The building underwent extensive exterior improvements in 2008, including new exterior wood siding/brick veneer and new windows/storefront throughout • Under the current proposed scope, a partial enclosed stairway along Park Avenue will be enclosed with a window system to maintain the existing fagade transparency • The existing exterior fagade contains material variations including brick wainscot banding and continuous sunscreens above the ribbon windows • New limited opaque infill panels are required at several ribbon windows along the south (parking lot) fai;:ade due to required seismic upgrades to the building. These infill panels are designed to continue the strong horizontal lines of the existing ribbon windows. The infill panel will be the same height as the ribbon windows and will be painted the same dark color -to match the adjacent aluminum window color. There were no practical alternatives to this infill to meet the required seismic upgrade requirements -the required lateral shear walls need to be located along the exterior building fai;:ade. We feel this solution is the most aesthetically pleasing option • The existing partially open stairway along Park Avenue North will be enclosed to allow building circulation and to discourage unwelcome activities that occasionally have occurred in this area due to the semi-enclosed nature of the current configuration. The new enclosure will use glass storefront systems to maintain the existing building transparency along Park Avenue. As this area will now be part of the open interior office and open floor-to-floor circulation, the transparent fai;:ade will provide a more open feel as some of the existing stair exterior walls will be removed to allow the new open interior circulation • The colors at the enclosed stair area will be the dark grey colors of the existing aluminum windows systems to form a bold grey undulating line along Park Avenue North from grade level to the second level. This line will turn follow the exterior building corner and continue along the south building facade's existing grey metal ribbon window banding. 149 Park Avenue North Design Overlay District Report-PRE13--001533 Page2 of2 B ...... rtKING DESIGN ARCHITECTURE INTERIOR DESIGN FEASIBILITY STUDIES October 13, 2014 3722 West Armour Place Seattle.

Trash Enclosure Location -we are requesting the closure location be placed closer then 50' from a residential development and that the location be directly off the alley (where it currently exists) • The alley location is less visually impactful as any location 50' form a residential property would placed the enclosure in clearer view of Park avenue N and very close to the existing building entry • The alley location allows for easy service as the trash and recycle service vehicles use the alley for collection • The existing surrounding residential lots use the alleyway for storing and collection of trash and recyclables 2. Trash Enclosure Configuration -we are requesting a 6' high trash enclose without a roof (roof is required per the Development standards for Commercial Zoning) • A 6' high enclosure would more closely match the existing residential fence heights and forms directly across the alley from the proposed location of the dumpster. We feel a higher, roofed structure would be more visually obtrusive for both the low-rise nature of the existing sites building as well as adjacent residential buildings • The existing and continued office use will not produce the type of trash (such as typical commercial district restaurant or grocery store use) that would require overhead or roofed structure to keep the birds out of the enclosure 3. Planting -we are requesting reduction in minimum on site landscape strip along both North 2nd street and Park Avenue North • The existing building is located along the property line at North 2nd Street • The existing building is located along the property Line at Park Avenue North • Asphalt paving exists along the remainder of the Park Avenue North. This paving is required for site access and to accommodate the required parking. The proposed parking count and configuration remain unchanged under the proposed scope of work • We are proposing to provide vegetation per the Development Standards .for Commercial Zoning for the existing planting beds ·-- DEPARTMENT OF COIi.
