Subject: South Renton Transit Center (SRTC) Site Plan Review/Conditional
Use Permit (CUP)/Master Site Plan/Lot Line Adjustment (LLA) Cover Letter
Dear Clark Close:
This cover letter has been prepared to accompany the City of Renton (City)
conditional use permit (CUP), master site plan, site plan review, and lot line
adjustment (LLA) application for Sound Transit’s (ST) proposed South Renton
Transit Center (SRTC). ST is proposing the Interstate-405 (I-405) Bus Rapid
Transit (BRT) will provide BRT service within the I-405 corridor for 37 miles
between Lynnwood and Burien. As part of the BRT, ST is proposing the
construction of the South Renton Transit Center (SRTC). The SRTC will include:
a transit center with stops for ST and King County Metro (KCM) routes, and with
layover for King County Metro ; bus operator facilities; a surface parking lot for
transit users; bicycle racks and lockers; and pedestrian access from Rainier
Avenue S, S Grady Way, and Lake Avenue S. Additional work included in this
project includes: roadway improvements on Rainier Avenue S, S Grady Way,
and Lake Avenue S to facilitate bus and pedestrian ingress and egress to the
site; landscaping on the site; utility connections; and construction of a
stormwater conveyance and treatment system.
The SRTC will be located on an 8.3-acre site (comprised of four existing parcels)
on the north side of I-405 and in the northeast corner of the intersection of S
Grady Way and Rainier Avenue S (State Route [SR] 167). The zoning
designation of the site is Commercial Arterial (CA). Transit Centers in CA-zoned
areas require a CUP.
A document Key is provided in Table 1 for the CUP, master site plan, site plan
review, and LLA. Attachment numbers have been assigned based on the
numbering from the Site Plan Review submittal checklist, CUP submittal
checklist, Master Site Plan review where possible.
