I. PROJECT OVERVIEW
SGA is proposing to build a 34,585 square foot office/warehouse building on Parcel A of Washington
Technical Center. The total site is 2.88 acres in size. Railroad tracks are located on the northern and
eastern boundaries. The tracks are located within easements recorded with the plat. Southwest 7th
Street is the southern boundary of the site. Grades on the site vary from elevation 20 in the
northeastern corner to elevation 16 in the southwestern corner. The ground slopes within the
property are between 1 and 2 percent. Ground cover consists of blackberry bushes and grasses.
The proposed building would be dock high. Truck loading docks would be located on the north side
of the building. The building finish floor elevation would be approximately 2.5 feet above the
existing ground elevation. There will be approximately 1.3 acres of asphalt paving around the
building for vehicle parking lot and truck maneuvering areas. Storm water runoff from the asphalt
pavement will be conveyed to a combine wetpond/detention pond located at the southwest corner
of the site. The wetpond is over-sized so biofiltration swales are not required. Preliminary design
has included provisions for biofiltration swale, but landscape requirements may make grading of
swales impractical.
Construction of an office/warehouse building on this site is consistent with surrounding
developments. Utilities within Southwest 7th Street have been sized for this type of development.
There is adequate depth for gravity storm water and sanitary sewer connections. According to City
records, a 10 inch water main is stubbed to the southeast corner and a 12 inch water main is located
within Southwest 7th Street. Therefore, the development of this property does not present any
significant design problems.
c
H. PRELIMINARY CONDITIONS SUMMARY
The 2.88 acre site is covered with blackberry bushes and grasses. Existing ground slopes from west
to east at slopes between 1 and 2 percent. A 60 inch storm drainage pipe is located in Southwest 7th
Street. According to the City, storm water runoff from the developed site can be discharge to the
60 inch pipe. Storm water detention is required prior to discharge from the site. The detention pond
will be sized using the King County Design Manual Method as adopted by city of Renton. No offsite
areas contribute to the storm water flows. An existing CN value of 82 will be used to calculate the
pre-developed storm water peak flows.
III. CORE AND SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
CORE REQUIREMENT#1:
Storm water will be discharged to the existing 60 inch storm drainage pipe located in Southwest 7th
Street. The pipe design included this property in the tributary area. This is the City's recommended
storm drainage connection. Therefore Core Requirement #1 is met.
CORE REQUIREMENT#2
The railroad tracks and Southwest 7th Street grades prevent offsite storm water from entering the
site. Therefore, no upstream basin analysis is required for this property.
Storm water discharged from the site will be conveyed by 60 inch storm pipe in Southwest 7th Street.
The 60 inch pipe flows west to Naches Avenue. The storm water then flows north in Naches where
it is discharged into a regional storm water mitigation area. The existing conveyance system was
design to convey storm water discharged from site. Original sizing for the pipe used the Rational
Method of analysis. Current design standards use the hydrograph method that lowers peak rate
discharge from that calculated by the Rational Method. Therefore, the downstream system has
adequate capacity for the proposed development.
CORE REQUIREMENT#3
Peak rate control will be provided for the storm water runoff. A storm water detention system will
be located in the southwest corner of the site. Developed storm water peak rate discharges from
the site will be limited to the 2 year, 10 year and 100 year pre-developed values. Storm water
detention facility calculations are included in the report. ! V� , �,� ?'�6
The City allows over-sizing the wetpond igation of the biofiltration swale requirements. The
wetpond required size must be increased bZ30 ercent to eliminate the biofiltration swale. Wetpond
sizing for this project will use this pro ' n to mitigate the biofiltration requirements. Wetpond
sizing calculations are included in the report.
CORE REQUIREMENT#4
Detailed pipe sizing calculation will be provided for the final design. The pipes will be sized
according to City Standards.
CORE REQUIREMENT#5
A detailed erosion/sedimentation control plan will be prepared for the site grading. The plan will
meet all City Standards.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS SECTION 1.3
The only Special Requirement that applies to this project is 1.3.5. A wetpond is required because the
development will have 1.3 acres of imperious surface area subject to vehicular use. A wetpond will
be constructed in the storm water detention pond area.

VI. LEVEL I ANALYSIS
Storm water will be discharged from the detention pond at the pre-developed peak flow rates to a
60 inch pipe located within Southwest 7th Street. From the connection point the storm water will
be tight lined approximately 1,100 feet west to Naches Avenue. Storm water is then tight lined north
approximately 650 feet in the Naches Avenue storm pipe. From the Naches storm system the storm
water is discharged into an open conveyance ditch that flows west into a regional detention basin.
The tight line system and detention basin were sized using the Rational Design Method . Current
City design standards for peak rate control are more restrictive than used to size the existing system.
Therefore development of this site will not adversely impact the existing storm system.

PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
The applicant seeks approval to construct a 34,585 square foot building that will house a
combination of warehouse and office space. The office space will support the warehouse use.
PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following project environmental review addresses only
those project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards
and environmental regulations.
A. Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and 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:
(1) Earth
Impacts: The applicant will be grading the site in order to construct the proposed building.
Approximately 2,500 cubic yards of fill will need to be imported in order to raise the building
floor elevation to the required height. This amount of fill will require approximately 125
round-trip truck trips. As this is an industrial area this volume of traffic should not impact the
adjacent roads. The applicant will need to provide temporary erosion control measures to
ensure that dust and erosion do not become a problem during the construction phase of the
project. Plan Review staff note that the applicant will need to install and maintain the
temporary erosion control measures to the satisfaction of the Development Services
representatives.
After the construction phase of the project, the portions of the site that are not used for the
building and paved areas will be landscaped in accordance with the Code-requirements for
this area.
The Green River Valley area is an area that prior to development provided a significant
amount of wildlife habitat. In response to the loss of habitat area the City adopted an
ordinance that requires a minimum of 2% of a site be reserved for wildlife habitat area. This
area is in addition to other landscape requirements. Although the detention pond provides
the area that is required, the plans submitted are not detailed enough to demonstrate that
the plant materials will provide the habitat that is required. The applicant will need to
provide a plan that demonstrates that the habitat area is provided and the landscape
materials that will be used to create suitable habitat.
Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall install and maintain Temporary Erosion Control
Measures to the satisfaction of the representative of the Development Services Division for
the duration of the project.
The applicant will need to provide a wildlife life habitat plan that demonstrates that the area
reserved is equal to or greater than 2% of the site and identifies the plant materials that will
be used in this area to the satisfaction of the Development Services Division prior to the
issuance of building permits.

(2) Air
Impacts: As noted in the Earth Section above, one source of potential air quality impacts
during the construction phase of the project will be from fugitive dust. The applicant will
need to provide temporary erosion control measures that will include sprinkling the site in
order to prevent fugitive dust. The applicant will also need to provide measure to prevent
erosion caused by storm water runoff during the construction phase of the project.
Adverse air quality impacts during the operation phase of the building would include vehicle
exhaust and exhaust from the building heating source. Existing state and federal standards
regulate these potential impacts. Properly operating equipment will keep these potential
impacts to levels below that allowed by the state and federal requirements.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation required.
Policy Nexus: N/A
(3) Water
Impacts: Storm water normally collects pollutants from paved surfaces that motorized
vehicles travel on. In this case that would include the parking areas and interior roadways.
The applicant has designed a storm water quality system that will treat the water on-site
prior to releasing into the off-site system.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation is required.
Policy Nexus: N/A
(4) Archeological
Impacts: There is a known archeological site on the property to the north of the subject
property. This site was reviewed as part of that project. The review concluded that only a
small portion of that property was an archeological site and that it did not reach the edge of
that property. The subject property is separated from the property to the north by a set of
railroad tracks. Further review of the reports filed on the known archeological site did not
reveal any indication that the site crossed over the railroad tracks and entered the subject
property. In accordance with State requirements, if the applicant finds any indications of
historic artifacts during the construction phase of the project, the project will need to be
stopped until further archeological investigation has concluded.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation is required.
Policy Nexus: N/A

(5) Public Services
Impacts: The Fire Prevention Bureau note that the proposed project will have an adverse
impact on the City's ability to address fire prevention and emergency response unless the
Code-required improvements are installed. The City also applies a Fire Mitigation fee to
projects to address the need for improvements in the City's installation and equipment
needed to respond to the burden imposed by this project. A Fire Mitigation Fee of $0.52
per square foot of new construction ($0.52 X 34,585 sf= $17,984.20).
Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall submit a Fire Mitigation Fee of $0.52 per square
foot of new construction (estimated at$17,984.20) prior to the issuance of building permits.
Policy Nexus: Fire Mitigation Fee Resolution, Environmental Ordinance (SEPA)
(5) Transportation
Impacts: The proposed development of this vacant property will impact the City's existing
street system and transportation related improvements. In order to mitigate this impact the
City has established a Transportation Mitigation Fee of $75.00 per new trip generated. The
ITE Manual estimates that a project of this size will generate approximately 168.77 trips per
day. The mitigation fee is estimated to be $12,657.75.
A construction plan indicating haul route and hours, construction hours and a traffic control
plan shall be submitted for approval prior to any permit being issued. Haul hours shall be
restricted to 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. unless approved in advance by the Development
Services Division.
Construction hours shall be limited to between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Monday through
Friday, Saturdays as arranged but no hours in excess of the weekday hours, and no
Sunday construction.
Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall submit a Transportation Mitigation Fee of $75.00
per new trip generated (estimated at $12,657.75) prior to the issuance of building permits.
A construction plan indicating haul route and hours, construction hours and a traffic control
plan shall be submitted for approval prior to any permit being issued. Haul hours shall be
restricted to 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. unless approved in advance by the Development
Services Division.

C. Consistency with Site Plan Criteria
In reviewing the proposal with respect to the site Plan Approval Criteria set forth in Section 4-31-
33(D) of the Site Plan Ordinance, the following issues have been identified by City Departmental
Reviewers and Divisional Reviewers:
1. GENERAL CRITERIA:
a. Conformance with the comprehensive plan, its elements and policies;
The proposed project is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, its elements and policies. The
subject property is designated as Valley Planning Area. This designation allows for a variety of
office and industrial land uses. The proposed project will allow for a warehouse/manufacturing
operation with the supporting office space.
b. Conformance with existing land use regulations;
The subject property is zoned IM (Medium Industrial). This zoning designation supports the
Comprehensive Plan designation discussed above and allows for a variety of manufacturing and
warehouse uses. The proposed office space would be allowed as accessory to the
warehouse/manufacturing operation.
C. Mitigation of impacts to surrounding properties and uses;
The applicant has proposed to provide a landscape buffer around the perimeter of the project site
and adjacent to the building. This will soften the appearance of the industrial building. In addition
the elevations of the building demonstrates several techniques to soften the linear appearance of
the building. These include the treatment and location of the windows, the painted reveals, and the
painting scheme for the building.
d. Mitigation of impacts of the proposed site plan to the site;
The project site is fairly level and without any sensitive areas, such as wetlands, that need to be
addressed through the site plan. The location of the proposed building takes into account the size
and shape of the lot and the location of the adjacent streets and railroad tracks.
The applicant is proposing to provide a storm water system that addresses the need to improve the
quality of the storm water collected within the parking lot. The applicant needs to provide an area
for wildlife habitat that is equal to 2% of the site area. On this site that would equal 2,512 square
feet of area. The site plan notes that this is a requirement but does not demonstrate the location of
the area nor does it call out the plant materials that will be used in the area. City staff has
recommended a mitigation measure to address this issue.
e. Conservation of area-wide property values;
The development of this property will help to conserve the area-wide property values. The
development of the vacant parcel will raise the value of the property to a level equal to similarly
developed properties in the area.

REPORT AND DECISION OFMay 17,1997 Page 9 of 13
f. Safety and efficiency of vehicle and pedestrian circulation;
The applicant has developed a safe and efficient vehicle circulation system on the subject property
that connects into the adjacent roadway in two locations. These driveway were designed to comply
with City standards. The one area of concern for City staff is the movement of pedestrians from
the building to the sidewalk along the adjacent street. It is assumed that future employees could
use the bus or other commuter options that would require them to walk onto the subject property.
Pedestrian will need to walk through the parking area and interior roadways to access the City's
sidewalk via a driveway. City staff would recommend that the applicant provide either a painted
crosswalk or a different paving material in the area where pedestrians will need to walk through the
parking area. This could connect with a walkway that would extend through the landscape area
along the front property line and connect with the sidewalk along the street.
g. Provision of adequate light and air;
The building is well set back from the property lines and existing buildings on adjacent lots. This
should allow adequate room for natural sunlight to reach the windows of the building and allow for
the circulation of air around the building.
h. Mitigation of noise, odors and other harmful or unhealthy conditions;
The proposed project is being constructed as a speculative building. Once a tenant has been
selected improvements will need to be established based upon that use. Any tenant moving into
the building will need to comply with existing City standards and codes in regards to noise, odors
and the use of hazardous materials.
i. Availability of public services and facilities to accommodate the proposed use; and
City services and facilities already exist to serve this building. The applicant will need to provide
the connections to these public services.
I Prevention of neighborhood deterioration and blight.
The applicant is proposing to develop a vacant lot. The construction of the building and the
maintenance of the grounds will help to prevent neighborhood deterioration and blight.
XX Copies of all Review Comments are contained in the Official File.
