PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Sound Transit, is requesting master plan review, site plan review,
Hearing Examiner conditional use permit, lot line adjustment, bicycle parking modification, and driveway modification to
construct the South Renton Transit Center (SRTC) located at 750 Rainier Ave S (APNs 1923059035, 1923059063,
1923059068, and 1923059074). The subject property is approximately 8.3 acres and is in the Commercial Mixed Use
Comprehensive Plan designation, Commercial Arterial (CA) zone, and the Urban Design District D overlay district. The site
is mostly flat with impervious surfaces. Initially developed as an auto dealership and service garage, the businesses that
were previously on the site have been relocated.
Sound Transit has partnered with Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to implement new bus rapid
transit (BRT) service along I-405. As part of the I-405 BRT program, Sound Transit is proposing to construct BRT facilities
in Renton, Burien, Tukwila, Bellevue, Kirkland, Bothell, and Lynnwood. The transit center would include stops for Sound
Transit and King County Metro (KCM) routes, bus operator facilities, transit shelter canopy, 8 bus bays, 13-bus layover
spaces with a gantry for bus charging, 158-stall surface parking lot for transit center users, and bicycle racks/lockers.
