A. ADMINISTRATIVE MODIFICATION REPORT & DECISION
DECISION: APPROVED APPROVED SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS DENIED
REPORT DATE: January 26, 2018
Project Name: Kraken Volleyball Club
Owner: Torreno Realty Corporation, 101 Montgomery St Suite 200, San Francisco, WA 94104
Applicant/Contact: Jared Walters, 3540 SW Rose St., Seattle, WA 98126
Project File Number: PR17000654
Land Use File Number: LUA17-000847, ECF, MOD
Project Manager: Matt Herrera, Senior Planner
Zoning Classification: Light Industrial (IL)
Summary of Request: The applicant is requesting a parking modification to reduce the minimum/maximum
parking requirement for a proposed volleyball club that would be located in a portion
of an existing 118,176 square foot distribution warehouse to an indoor recreational
facility located at 3405 Lind Ave SW. The indoor recreational facility area of the
existing building would utilize approximately 30,000 square feet of the southern
portion of the warehouse building and be used for a volleyball training center. The
project site totals 5.15 acres and is located within the Light Industrial (IL) zoning
classification and Employment Area (EA) land use designation. No exterior building or
site alterations are proposed at this time. Proposed improvements would be to the
existing building's interior. The existing 140 surface parking spaces and two (2)
driveways off of Lind Ave SW and one (1) driveway off SW 34th St would remain in
their current configuration.

C. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
The applicant is requesting a change of use within a portion of an existing 118,176 square warehouse building
located at 3405 Lind Ave SW to establish an indoor volleyball club. The club would be located within a 29,890
square foot space on the southern side of the existing building. No exterior improvements or expansion of the
building is proposed. The subject property contains 140 surface parking spaces and the applicant is requesting a
parking modification to reduce the minimum/maximum number of parking spaces for the proposed volleyball
club from 280 spaces to 26. The City’s Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of
Nonsignificance for the change of use from warehouse to indoor sports facility on January 22, 2018.
The City’s parking regulations classify the proposed volleyball club as “other recreational” and requires a
minimum and maximum of 1 per occupant based upon 50% of the maximum occupant load as established by the
adopted Building and Fire Codes of the City of Renton. Based on analysis provided by the applicant, the size of
the building and the existing/proposed uses, the code would require 339 parking spaces; 280 for the volleyball
club and 59 for the existing warehouse use. The applicant contends (Exhibits 2 and 3) that the existing 140 space
surface parking lot on the subject property can adequately provide parking for the existing warehouse and
proposed volleyball club. As provided in the analysis below, the peak parking demand for the proposed volleyball
club is less than 10-percent of the code requirement.
D. ANALYSIS OF REQUEST:
Modification Analysis: The applicant is requesting a modification from RMC 4-4-080F.10.d in order to provide
fewer parking spaces than the code required minimum/maximum of one-space per occupant based upon 50-
percent of the maximum occupant load as established by the adopted Building and Fire Codes of the City of
Renton. The proposal is compliant with the following modification criteria, pursuant to RMC 4-9-250. Therefore,
staff is recommending approval of the requested modification.
Compliance Modification Criteria and Analysis
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.
Staff Comment: The applicant contends that the code required parking regulations are 10 times
greater than the estimated peak parking demand that was determined by the Traffic
Assessment Memorandum, prepared by Transportation Engineering Northwest, dated
December 7, 2017 (Exhibit 3). The existing surface parking lot provides parking for 140 vehicles,
which can accommodate the existing Baden warehouse facility on the north portion of the
building and the peak parking demand of the proposed volleyball club.
Staff concurs the proposed modification would implement the policies and objective of the
comprehensive plan and the proposed modification is the minimum adjustment necessary.
Right-sizing the parking needs of the proposed volleyball club will avoid the unneeded expansion

of impervious asphalt areas thereby resulting in a greater quality in design and appearance of
the property and parking lot, consistent with Comprehensive Plan Goal L-FF and Policy L-61.
As provided in the Traffic Assessment Memorandum (Exhibit 3), the parking regulations would
require 59 spaces for the Baden warehouse space and the volleyball club would require 26
spaces (a total of 85 parking spaces) during peak demand per the memo’s analysis. The existing
and proposed demand can be accommodated within the property’s existing 140 space surface
parking lot and is the minimum adjustment necessary.
b. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and
maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering
judgment.
Staff Comment: The applicant contends the proposed volleyball facility will generate less peak
traffic and parking than the previous warehouse use. All parking will be contained on-site with
overflow capacity if needed.
Staff concurs the proposed modification would meet the objectives of function and
maintainability intended by the code requirements. The applicant’s transportation consultant
has provided analysis that the existing parking capacity would accommodate the proposed
volleyball club and existing warehouse use.
c. Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity.
Staff Comment: The applicant contends the proposal will have no injurious impact to other
properties as it will result in less traffic and parking use.
Staff concurs that the reduction of the minimum parking requirement for the volleyball club will
not be injurious to other properties in the vicinity. Adequate parking exists onsite per analysis
provided by the applicant. Should a special event occur, the existing parking lot could contain
up to 55 additional vehicles (140 existing spaces – 59 Baden spaces – 26 Volleyball spaces)
thereby mitigating any offsite parking concerns.
d. Conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code.
Staff Comment: The applicant contends that the adequate parking will be provided.
Staff concurs that the intent and purpose of the Code is met. One purpose of the City’s parking
regulations is to ensure adequate off-street and onsite parking is provided. The existing parking
lot will provide adequate off-street parking for the Baden warehouse and proposed volleyball
club
e. Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and
Staff Comment: The applicant contends that the transportation analysis provided with the
modification application justifies the parking reduction.
Staff concurs that the reduction is justified and intended. As provided by the applicant’s
transportation consultant, the proposed change of use will not result in the need to expand the
existing parking area. More than adequate parking is already provided on the subject property.
f. Will not create adverse impacts to other property(ies) in the vicinity.
Staff Comment: See comments under criterion ‘c’.

Kraken Volleyball Club
3405 Lind Ave SW
Renton, WA 98126
Justification for Parking Modification Request.
a. The code required parking for the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club based on the city’s “other
recreation” land use category is approximately 10 times greater than the estimated peak parking
demand that would be created by the proposed volleyball training facility. The Kraken Volleyball
Center would actually result in less trips and required parking spaces per day than the current
warehouse use. The estimated peak parking demand of the site is estimated to be 26 parking
stalls which would occur between 8:00 PM and 8:30 PM on weeknights. Therefore, the 140 on-
site parking stalls shared with Baden Sports , would be able to accommodate the code required
parking for Baden Sports as well as the estimated peak parking demand for the proposed
Kraken Volleyball Club. It should be noted that the hours of operation for Baden Sports
company is between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, which is opposite hours than Kraken Volleyball
Club’s use.
b. As the proposed volleyball facility will have less traffic and parking impact than the current
warehouse use, and there are is no construction or alterations to the property, the proposed
volleyball activity will meet all objectives concerning, safety, function, appearance,
environmental protection and maintainability intended by the code requirements.
c. Additionally, the volleyball facility will have no injurious impact to other properties in the vicinity
as it will actually result in less traffic and parking use.
d. Thereby the volleyball facility will conform to the intent and purpose of the code.
e. A parking impact assessment and resulting memo were created by TenW, a transportation
consulting agency, which resulted in justification showing that the parking impact will actually be
reduced as a result of the change of use.
f. And will not create adverse impacts to other property(s) in the vicinity.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 7, 2017
TO: Matt Herrera
City of Renton Planning Department
FROM: Curtis Chin, P.E.
TENW
SUBJECT: Traffic Assessment
Kraken Volleyball Club - Renton, WA
TENW Project No. 5604
This memorandum documents the traffic assessment completed for the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club
project located at 3405 Lind Ave SW in Renton, WA. The traffic assessment includes a trip generation
estimate, parking modification request, and an impact fee calculation for the proposed project.
Project Description
Based on current plans, the project includes tenant improvements to 29,890 square feet (SF) of an
approximately 120,000 SF existing warehouse building. The proposed use includes a youth volleyball
training facility. The proposed facility would have limited evening operating hours outside of the CityÊs 3:00
– 6:00 PM peak period. Parking for the site is provided by 140 on-site parking stalls.

TENW December 7, 2017

Trip Generation Estimate
Based on information provided by the applicant, the proposed use is unique and is not consistent with any
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation manual land use category. The most similar land
use category in ITE is Athletic Club (ITE land use code 493). However, the key difference between the ITE
use and the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club project is that the proposed project will not be open during the
typical weekday PM peak period (3:00 PM – 6:00 PM).
To estimate the trip generation from the proposed volleyball club, the applicant provided forecasts of
employee/staff trips, user trips, and other site related trips (mail, UPS/FedEx deliveries, etc.). This information
was used to estimate trip generation which is summarized in Attachment A and described below.
Employee/Staff Trips – The volleyball club is planned to have 10 employee/staff members on site
during a typical weekday. The employees would be scheduled to arrive and leave the site outside
of the City of RentonÊs typical AM peak period (6:00 AM – 9:00 AM) and typical PM peak period
(3:00 – 6:00 PM).
User Trips – During a typical weekday, the volleyball club would provide two practice sessions and
private classes for up to 60 youth volleyball players. Most youth volleyball players would arrive to
the site via carpools. For this trip generation estimate, each carpool trip was estimated to include an
average of 2.5 kids. The majority of the parents driving the kids to the site would stay at the facility
and watch the practice/lessons. During a typical weeknight, private lessons would start at 6:30 PM
and two 1.5- hour practice sessions would be provided. Practice session #1 would start at 7:00
PM and the practice session #2 would start at 8:30 PM.
Other Trips – Other trips associated with the proposed facility include mail deliveries and typical UPS
or FedEx deliveries. The applicant expects 4 total delivery type trips (2 entering, 2 exiting) throughout
a typical weekday.
Table 1 summarizes the net new weekday daily AM, and PM peak hour trip generation estimates of the
volleyball club which includes a trip credit for 29,890 SF of warehouse space that will be replaced.

As shown in Table 1, the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club is estimated to generate less weekday daily, AM
peak hour, and PM peak hour trips than the currently entitled warehouse use.
Parking Modification
The applicant is requesting a parking modification for the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club project to allow
fewer on-site parking stalls than the City of RentonÊs code requirement.
Code Analysis
The existing 118,176 square foot warehouse building currently includes 140 on-site parking spaces. The
Baden Sports company currently occupies 88,286 SF of the warehouse and the remaining 29,890 SF would
be occupied by the Kraken Volleyball Club. Based on information provided by the applicant, the maximum
occupant load of the 29,890 SF space to be occupied by the Kraken Volleyball Club is 560 people.
The CityÊs parking code requirement for „Warehouse and Indoor Storage Buildings‰ is a minimum and a
maximum of 1 space per 1,500 sf of net floor area. To assess the code required parking for the Kraken
Volleyball Club use, the „Other Recreational‰ category included in Renton Municipal Code Section 4-4-080
(F) was used which includes a minimum and a maximum of 1 space per 50% of the maximum occupant load.
This results in a code requirement of 339 parking spaces (min and max). Table 2 summarizes our assessment
of the code required parking for the site.

TOTAL = 118,176 SF 339
As shown in Table 2, our assessment of the city code required parking would be 339 spaces which is greater
than the 140 on-site parking stall supply. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a parking modification for a
decreased parking supply on the site.
Justification for Proposed Parking Modification
The code required parking for the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club based on the CityÊs „Other Recreation‰
land use category is approximately 10 times greater than the estimated peak parking demand that would be
created by the proposed volleyball training facility.
To estimate the peak parking demand for the proposed volleyball training facility, the applicant provided
forecasts of employee/staff trips, user trips, and other site related trips (mail, UPS/FedEx deliveries, etc.).
Based on this information, the resulting estimated peak parking demand created by these trips is summarized
in Table 3.

Estimate1 Time Period

Note:
1. Peak parking demand derived from information provided by the applicant for employees and
users.
As shown in Table 3 above, the estimated peak parking demand of the site is estimated to be 26 parking
stalls which would occur between 8:00 PM and 8:30 PM on weeknights. Therefore, the 140 on-site parking
stalls shared with Baden Sports company would be able to accommodate the code required parking for the
Baden Sports as well as the estimated peak parking demand for the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club. It
should be noted that the hours of operation for the Baden Sports company is between 8:00 AM and 5:00
PM and is not expected to have a significant parking demand during the volleyball clubs evening peak. The
detailed estimated parking demand for the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club use is included in Attachment
B.

Transportation Impact Fees
The applicant is requesting an independent fee calculation for this project that accounts for the fact that the
proposed volleyball facility will not be generating trips during the weekday PM peak hour and none of the
fee categories included in the CityÊs Fee Schedule accurately describe or capture the impacts of the proposed
volleyball facility. An independent impact fee calculation for this purpose is established in City code section
4-1-190(H). Since the project would likely result in a net reduction in trips (when compared to the entitled
warehouse use) during the weekday PM peak hour, the collection of transportation impact fees would not be
applicable. Therefore, no transportation impacts fees are expected to be required for the project.
Please call me at 425-250-5003 or email at chin@tenw.com if you have any questions with the information
included in this memorandum.
