ENVIRONMENTAL (SEPA) DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE (DNS)
PROJECT NUMBER: LUA18-000127, CU-H
APPLICANT: Mark Gropper / 2900 10th St / Renton, WA 98056
PROJECT NAME: Sunset Multi-Service & Career Development Center
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting concurrence from the Environmental Review Committee
(ERC) for the proposed Sunset Multi-Service & Career Development Center to be located in the former
Highlands Library building located at 2900 NE 10th St. The site is located within the bo undaries of the Sunset
Area Planned Action Study Area and environmental review was conducted as part of the Sunset Area Planned
Action Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) (Exhibits 2 and 3). Repurposing the former library is consistent
with Sunset Area Community EIS assumptions and mitigation measures; therefore a SEPA threshold
determination is not required for the proposal.
The applicant is also requesting Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit approval for the proposed Sunset
Multi-Service and Career Development Center (Exhibits 4 and 5). The former library property is under contract
for purchase by the Renton Housing Authority (RHA). The existing 6,160 square foot building is located on a
1.4 acre lot. No exterior site construction improvements or building additions are proposed. Proposed interior
improvements would support multiple services such as job training assistance, ESL and adult education
classes, and potentially a foodbank. While the property will be owned by the RHA, the regional non -profit
Neighborhood House would manage the proposed service center. Access to the site will remain in the two
existing driveways along NE 12th St. The subject property contains 26 vehicle parking spaces.
