PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Puget Sound Energy (PSE), is requesting approval of an administrative
variance from the provisions of the Renton Municipal Code (RMC) regulating maximum fence height located within the
Residential-8 (R-8) zoning district (RMC 4-4-040.D). The subject property is approximately 3.45 acres in size and is located
at 730 & 800 S 21st St (APNs 7222000071 and 7222000070) on the corner of S 21st St and Benson Drive S, in the Talbot
Community Planning Area. The South Seattle Gate Station houses infrastructure for underground gas pipelines that
intersect at the site. The purpose of the variance is to allow the applicant to replace the existing security fence, of varying
height up to eight-feet (8’) tall, around the gate station with a taller fence, of varying height of up to fifteen feet (15’)
tall, as part of a security upgrade project. The maximum fence height allowed in any residential zone is seventy-two
inches (72"). To meet national physical security standards, the proposed replacement perimeter fence would include a
new eight foot (8’) tall fence, in place of the existing fence, installed along the perimeter of the gate station area
(approximately 26,320 square feet of the site). The fence may reach up to 15 feet in height due to the existing grade of
the site which includes an existing retaining wall that is included as part of the height of the fence. Access to the
substation is provided via a driveway from S 21st St. There would be no tree removal associated with the fence
replacement. According to City of Renton (COR) Maps, the site contains moderate coalmine hazards.
