DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE: May 9, 2024 TO: Pre-Application File No. PRE24-000120 FROM: Andrew Van Gordon, Associate Planner SUBJECT: JWC&K LLC 3901 Raymond Ave SW (APN 1253810050) General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre-application for the above- referenced development proposal. 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, Development Services Director, Development Engineering 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 https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Renton. Project Proposal: The applicant proposes two (2) separate, unrelated actions on the property. They are: • Remove an existing internal, on-site vegetated island and replace with paving. As part of the removal relocation of an existing fire hydrant located within the island will occur. • Remove approximately 15 feet by 100 feet (15’x100’) of soil and vegetation from the southeast portion of the property to create a 125-foot (125’) truck turning area. Current Use: The property is 141,790 square feet (3.25 acres) currently improved with a 23,080 square foot warehouse. Surface parking with an unknown number of stalls, an unknown number of loading docks and outdoor storage are located on-site. Access to the site is via two (2) driveways: one (1) from SE 39th St and the other from Raymond Ave SW. No revisions to the building is proposed. Per COR Maps the property is located within a High Seismic Hazard Area with sensitive slopes on-site. 1. Zoning /Land Use Designation, and Overlays: The subject property is located within the Light Industrial (IL) zone. The purpose of the IL zone is to provide areas for low-intensity manufacturing, industrial services, distribution, storage, and technical schools. Uses allowed in this zone are generally contained within buildings. Material and/or equipment used in production are not stored outside. Activities in this zone do not generate external emissions such as smoke, odor, noise, vibrations, or other nuisances outside the building. Compatible uses that directly serve the needs of other uses in the zone are also allowed. JWC&K LLC Page 2 of 7 May 9, 2024 The PAC-RIM Warehouse is located on-site and appears to be a warehouse and distribution center which would be a ‘warehousing and distribution’ use. ‘Warehousing and distribution’ is defined as: “A use engaged in storage and distribution of manufactured products, supplies and equipment. The use excludes hazardous material storage, indoor storage, outdoor storage, self-service storage, vehicle storage, and warehousing, storage or distribution for commercial laundry operations within the Downtown Business District.” This use is not permitted within the IL zone and is therefore a non-conforming use. Removal of the vegetated island and vegetation to be replaced with paving would be an expansion of the existing nonconforming use. Extensions or enlargements of nonconforming uses shall meet the following requirements: 1. A nonconforming use shall not be extended or enlarged so as to occupy additional land area on the same or any other lot or parcel, unless the nonconforming use is housed in part of a single-tenant buildings, in which case the use may be extended through the building, but the building shall not be enlarged; 2. A nonconforming use in a multi-tenant building shall not be expanded into space vacated by other tenants; 3. A nonconforming use shall not be relocated in whole or in part to any other part of the parcel; and 4. No additional building, whether temporary or permanent, shall be erected upon a property with a nonconforming use for purposes of expanding or extending a nonconforming use. Expansion of the paved surfaces would enlarge the nonconforming use on the same parcel, and therefore be in violation of requirement number one (1). To not be considered expansion an equivalent amount of area would not to be converted from paving into vegetated area. 2. Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-130A, Development Standards for Industrial Zoning Designations effective at the time of complete application (noted as “IL standards” herein). Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – There is no minimum lot width or depth requirements, however, new lots created after September 1, 1985 are required to be a minimum of 35, 000 square feet. Lot revisions are not proposed as part of the project. Building Standards – The IL standards do not include a maximum impervious surface coverage but does include a maximum building lot coverage of 65 percent (65%) or 75 percent (75%) if parking is provided within the building or within a parking garage. The maximum building height is 50 feet (50’), but the maximum height can be exceed with approval through a Conditional Use Permit. No revisions to the existing building are proposed. Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the property line. The required setbacks for the IL zone are: JWC&K LLC Page 3 of 7 May 9, 2024 • Front yard: 20 feet (20’) from principal arterial streets otherwise 15 feet (15’) provided that 20 feet (20’) is required if a lot is adjacent to or abutting a lot zoned residential. • Secondary front yard: 20 feet (20’) from principal arterial streets otherwise 15 feet (15’) provided that 50 feet (50’) is required is a lot is adjacent to or abutting a lot zoned residential. • Minimum rear and side yard: None, except 20 feet (20’) if the lot is adjacent to or abutting a lot zone residential which may be reduced to 15 feet (15’) through the Site Plan development review process. In no case shall a structure over 42 inches (42”) in height intrude into the 20-foot (20’) clear vision area defined in RMC 4-11-030, Definitions C. Neither SW 39th St nor Raymond Ave SW are classified as primary arterials. The lot is not abutting or adjacent to a lot zoned residential. No new structures or expansion of existing structures is proposed. 3. Refuse and Recycling Areas: Refuse and recycling areas shall be placed outside of required setbacks and landscaping. The architectural design of the deposit area shall be consistent with the design of the primary structure. A six-foot wall (6’) or fence shall enclose the deposit areas. Minimum gate openings are required to be at least 12 feet (12’) in width for haulers with the gate opening being between 11 feet (11’) and 14 feet (14’) in height. Weather protection of refuse and recyclables shall be ensured by using weather-proofed containers or by providing a roof over the storage area. Sizing standards based on use are as follows: USE Minimum Recycling Minimum Refuse Minimum Overall Manufacturing and Other Nonresidential Developments Three (3) square feet per every 1,000 square feet of building gross floor area Six (6) square feet per every 1,000 square feet of building gross floor area Combined 100 square feet. A refuse and recycling area wasn’t shown on the drawing. Compliance with applicable requirements would be verified at the time of permit review. 4. Landscaping: With the exception of 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 minimum on-site landscape width required along street frontages is 10 feet and shall contain trees, shrubs, and landscaping. Street trees in the ROW planter will also be required. Landscaping may include hardscape such as decorative paving, rock outcroppings, fountains, plant containers, etc. Minimum planting strip widths between the curb and sidewalk are established according to the street development standards of RMC 4-6-060, Street Standards. Street trees and, at a minimum, groundcover are to be located in this area when present. Street trees shall be planted in the center of the planting strip between the curb and the sidewalk at the following intervals; provided, that, where right-of-way is constrained, irregular intervals and slight increases or decreases may be permitted or required. Additionally, trees shall be planted in locations that meet required spacing distances from facilities located in the right-of-way JWC&K LLC Page 4 of 7 May 9, 2024 including, but not limited to, underground utilities, streetlights, utility poles, traffic signs, fire hydrants, and driveways; such spacing standards are identified in the City’s Approved Tree List. Generally, the following spacing is required: i. Small-sized maturing trees: thirty feet (30') on center; ii. Medium-sized maturing trees: forty feet (40') on center; and iii. Large-sized maturing trees: fifty feet (50') on center. If the proposed improvements are equal to or greater than 50 percent (50%) of the assessed property valuation, then landscaping requirements would be triggered. See RMC 4-4-070, Landscaping for full requirements. Compliance with applicable requirements would be verified at the time of permit review. 5. Significant Tree Retention: A review of COR Maps shows that there are no mature trees on the site. When significant trees (greater than 6-inch caliper or 8-caliper inches for alders and cottonwoods) are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory and a tree retention plan along with an arborist report, tree retention plan and tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application as defined in RMC 4-8-120. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least 30% of significant trees. Please refer to RMC 4-4-130, Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations for further general and specific tree retention and land clearing requirements. In addition to retaining a minimum of 30% of existing significant trees, properties subject to an active land development permit shall comply with minimum tree credit retention requirements of a minimum of 30 credits per net acre. Tree credits encourage retention of existing significant trees with larger trees being worth more tree credits. TREE SIZE TREE CREDITS New small species tree 0.25 New medium species tree 1 New large species tree 2 Preserved tree 6 – 9 caliper inches 4 Preserved tree 10 – 12 caliper inches 5 Preserved tree 12 – 15 caliper inches 6 Preserved tree 16 – 18 caliper inches 7 Preserved tree 19 – 21 caliper inches 8 Preserved tree 22 – 24 caliper inches 9 Preserved tree 25 – 28 caliper inches 10 Preserved tree 29 – 32 caliper inches 11 JWC&K LLC Page 5 of 7 May 9, 2024 TREE SIZE TREE CREDITS Preserved tree 33 – 36 caliper inches 12 Preserved tree 37 caliper inches and greater 13 Based on the property’s current acreage of 3.25 acres a minimum of 98 tree credits are required. An arborist report prepared by a qualified individual would be required. Compliance with requirements would be verified at the time of permit review. See RMC 4- 4-130, Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations for full requirements. Compliance with applicable requirements would be verified at the time of permit review. 6. Fences/Retaining Walls: Within industrial zones the maximum height of any fence, hedge, or retaining wall within the front yard and secondary front yard shall not exceed 48 inches (48”) in height within 15 feet (15’) of the front yard property line or within any part of the clear vision area. Fences, hedges and retaining walls shall not stand in or in front of any required landscaping. If a new or replacement fence is proposed within 15 feet (15’) of a public street on a site that is nonconforming to street frontage landscape requirements per RMC 4-4- 070F1, the site shall be brought into conformance. Per the provided documents fencing, retaining walls or hedges are not proposed nor is expansion of existing improvements. See RMC 4-4-040, Fences, Hedges and Retaining Walls for full requirements. Compliance with applicable requirements would be verified at the time of permit review. 7. Screening and Storage: Within industrial zones, outdoor storage must be screened from adjacent or abutting properties and public rights-of-way. Outdoor storage uses shall provide sight-obscuring fences or solid walls a minimum of six feet (6') in height, berming, and/or landscaping as determined by the Administrator to achieve adequate visual or acoustical screening. Outside storage shall not be permitted in any required setback area. Products or materials covered by buildings with roofs but without sides shall be considered outside storage and subject to the screening provisions of this Section. Exterior sales of autos, boats and motorcycles are not considered outdoor storage. Within industrial zones, storage height is limited to 15 feet (15’). Based on the existing site it appears as though the landscaping buffer was established to comply with storage screening requirements as approved through LUA95 -151. To remove any portion of the screening would require a redesign of the site to ensure that no outdoor storage occurs in this area. Compliance with requirements would be reviewed at the time of permit review. 8. Parking: Within the IL zone when paving of a parking lot with a permanent surface is proposed, the project is required to meet standards within RMC 4-4-080, Parking, Loading and Driveway Regulations. A minimum and maximum of 1.0 stalls per 1,500 square feet of net floor area is required. Bicycle Parking – The number of bicycle parking spaces shall be equal to 10 percent (10%) of the number of required off-street vehicle parking spaces. JWC&K LLC Page 6 of 7 May 9, 2024 As proposed, the paving of the vegetated island increases the paving of the parking lot with a permanent surface. Therefore, the project would be required to meet parking requirements. Per LUA95-151, more than 50 vehicle stalls were approved. Requirements would include interior parking lot vegetation, minimum stall and drive aisle sizing etc. See RMC 4-4-080, Parking, Loading and Driveway Regulations for full requirements. Compliance with requirements would be verified at the time of formal permit review. 9. Access/Driveways: Driveway width shall not exceed an aggregate of 40 percent (40%) of the street frontage. There shall be a minimum of 18 feet (18’) between driveway curb returns where there is more than one (1) driveway on property under single ownership or control and used as one premises. The width of any driveway shall not exceed 30 feet (30’). There shall be no more than two (2) driveways for each 300 feet (300’) of street frontage serving any one property. For each 165 feet (165’) of additional street frontage another driveway may be permitted. Maximum driveway slope shall not exceed eight percent (8%). The Administrator may allow a driveway to exceed eight percent (8%) slope but not more than fifteen percent (15%) slope, upon proper application in writing and for good cause shown, which shall include, but not be limited to, the absence of any reasonable alternative. To exceed fifteen percent (15%), a variance from the Administrator is required. Compliance with requirements would be verified at the time of formal permit review. 10. Critical Areas: Per COR maps the project site is located within a High Seismic Hazard Area and sensitive slopes are located on-site. Due to the presence of geological hazards, a geotechnical study may be required. The study shall specifically address if the proposal will not increase the threat of the geological hazard to adjacent or abutting properties beyond pre-development conditions; and the proposal will not adversely impact other critical areas; and the development can be safely accommodated on the site. It is the applicant’s responsibility to determine whether any other critical areas are present on the site prior to formal permit review. 11. Environmental Review: The project would be exempt from State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review. However, the project may be subject to Environmental Review, in accordance with RMC 4-9-070H.3, if it is determined that critical areas are located on the property. 12. Site Plan Approval: Per RMC 4-9-200, site plan review is required for any development in the IL zone. The purpose of the site plan review process is to analyze the detailed arrangement of project elements to mitigate negative impacts where necessary to ensure project compatibility with the physical characteristics of a site and with the surrounding area. Site plan review ensures quality development consistent with City goals and policies. Site plan review analyzes elements including, but not limited to, site layout, building orientation and design, pedestrian and vehicular environment, landscaping, natural features of the site, screening and buffering, parking and loading facilities, and illumination to ensure compatibility with potential future development. Decisional criteria for site plan approval are itemized in RMC 4-9-200.E.3. Projects which are SEPA Exempt are exempt from Site Plan Review. 13. Permit Requirements: As proposed the project would require civil construction permits. Each modification request is $290.00. A 5% Technology Fee is added to the total cost of the reviews and would be assessed at the time of formal land use application. All fees are subject to JWC&K LLC Page 7 of 7 May 9, 2024 change. Other informational applications and handouts can be found in the City’s Digital Records Library. The City requires electronic plan submittal for all applications. Please refer to the City’s Electronic File Standards. 14. Waivers of Submittal Requirements: The submittal checklist is not an exhaustive list of submittal requirements and may be modified in cases where additional information is required to complete the review of an application. In addition, non-applicable submittal requirements may be waived. The applicant should contact the assigned Project Manager if there are any questions regarding submittal requirements. 15. Public Information Sign: Public Information Signs are required for all Type II and Type III Land Use Permits as classified by RMC 4-8-080. Public Information Signs are intended to inform the public of potential land development, specific permits/actions being considered by the City, and to facilitate timely and effective public participation in the review process. The applicant must follow the specifications provided in the public information sign handout. The applicant is solely responsible for the construction, installation, maintenance, removal, and any costs associated with the sign. 16. Impact Fees: In addition to the applicable building and construction fees, impact fees would be required. Fees change periodically and the fees in effect at the time of building permit issuance would apply. For informational purposes, the 2024 impact fees are as follows: • A Fire impact fee $0.05 per square foot of industrial/manufacturing. • A transportation impact fee $3.29 per square foot of warehouse. A handout listing all of the City’s Development related fees is available for your review at https://edocs.rentonwa.gov/Documents/Browse.aspx?id=8217302&dbid=0&repo=CityofRe nton 17.
