The applicant is requesting Administrative Approval of a Sign Variance to allow
reuse of two pole signs and allow two signs rather than one. The applicant
proposes to reuse two existing pole signs within the Commercial Arterial (CA)
Zone and Urban Design District D. RMC 4-3-lOOE.5.a only allows one sign for
each street frontage. RMC 4-4-100.G.5 prohibits pole signs within Urban Design
Areas. The signs were used by the previous building tenant, Royce Coffee and
Lounge, and are considered to be non-conforming. The applicant proposes to
reuse the signs, renovate the existing cabinets, paint the poles, and switch the
interior lights to light emitting diode (LEDs). The site is located in the seismic
hazard area. A wetland/creek is located along the southerly border of the site
and outside of the two pole sign locations.

ministrative Variance Report & Decision
LUA15-000810, V-A
Page 2 of 7
The City's sign regulations (RMC 4-4-lOOG.5) prohibit the use of pole signs within the Urban Design
Areas and require the removal of sign age within 90 days of the closure of a business (RMC 4-4-lOOD.6).
There are two existing pole signs on the site. The Sign Regulations RMC 4-3-lOOE.5.a also only allows
one sign for each street frontage. Therefore, the existing non-conforming signs should have been
removed upon the closure of the previous business Royce Coffee and Lounge, which closed prior to
July 2015. And only one sign should be allowed rather than two. The applicant proposes to use the
two existing pole signs and changing the signage within the cabinets. The applicant does not propose
other site improvements.
The west pole sign is located near East Valley Rd entrance and the east pole sign is located at the rear
of the building near State Route 167 (Exhibit 4). Both pole signs are two-sided. The sign cabinets face
north and south and are directed towards on-coming traffic. The proposed signs would have similar
color pallets but different text and layouts (Exhibit 5). The poles supporting the sign cabinets would be
repainted from pink to green. Lighting fixtures would be changed to LED style bulbs.
The west pole sign is located near the property driveway entrance along East Valley Road (Exhibit 3).
The existing sign cabinet sits on top of a pole and the pole extends approximately 17 feet 7 inches to
the bottom ofthe cabinet (Exhibit 5). The existing sign cabinet dimensions are approximately 9 feet 2
Y, inches in height by 11 feet 1-inch in width. The height of the west pole sign to the top of the cabinet
is approximately 26 feet 8 Y, inches. The cabinet faces on the pole on the west side of the site facing
East Valley Rd would be renovated in order to add their logo, their name "Fortune Poker," and
"Restaurant & Bar" (Exhibit 5). The sign would have an area of approximately 100 square feet.
The east pole sign is located near the shared property line with the State Route 167 right-of-way at the
east of the site (Exhibit 3). The existing sign cabinet sits on top of a pole and the pole extends
approximately 26 feet 4 inches to the bottom ofthe cabinet (Exhibit 5). The exisiting sign cabinet
dimensions are approximately 13 feet 9 Y, inches in height by 16 feet 7 Y, inches in width. The height of
the pole sign to the top of the cabinet is approximately 40 feet. The cabinet faces would be renovated
in order to add their logo and the words "Poker," "Restaurant," and "Bar" to the sign (Exhibit 5). The
pole sign would have an area of approximately 230 square feet.

I D. FINDINGS:
ninistrative Variance Report & Decision
LUA15-000810, V-A
Page 3 of 7
Having reviewed the written record in the matter, the City now makes and enters the following:
1. Request: The applicant has requested two administrative variancs. One variance request is from
RMC 4-4-lOOGS to reuse two existing, non-conforming, pole signs for the Fortune Poker casino,
restaurant and bar. The other variance request is from RMC 4-3-lOOE.5.a to allow two signs at one
business with one street frontage.
Z. Administrative Variance: The applicant's administrative variance submittal materials comply with
the requirements necessary to process a variance request. The applicant's site plan and proposed
sign photo simulations are provided as Exhibits 3 through 5.
3. Existing Land Use: The subject parcel is surrounded on all sides by existing commercial uses,
including but not limited to Pacific Storage to the north, Honda/Yamaha to the west, Clarion Hotel
to the south, and State Route 167 to the east. The subject site is currently being renovated as a
tenant improvement by the new Fortune Poker that was previously the Royce Coffee and Lounge
business.
4. Zoning: The subject property is within the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone and Urban Design -
District D.
5. Topography: The site is relatively flat and has a creek in the southern area of the property.
6. Lots and Building Size: The lot area is 76,033 square feet in size and the Fortune Poker casino,
restaurant, and bar is approximately 8,002 square feet in area in an existing two-story commercial
building.
I E. CONSISTENCY WITH VARIANCE CRITERIA:
Section 4-9-2508.5 lists 4 criteria that the Planning Director is asked to consider, along with all other
relevant information, in making a decision an an Administrative Variance application. These include
the Jal/awing:
The Planning Director shall have authority to grant an administrative variance upon making a
determination, in writing, that the conditions specified below have been found to exist:
a. That the applicant suffers practical difficulties and unnecessary hardship and the variance is
necessary because of special circumstances applicable to subject property, including size, shape,
topography, location or surroundings of the subject property, and the strict application of the
Zoning Code is found to deprive subject property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other
property owners in the vicinity and under identical zone classification:
The applicant contends that practical difficulties exist and that the strict interpretation of the sign
regulations would deprive them of privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity
(Exhibit 8). The removal of the existing signs would involve capping the poles and digging up the
foundations adding substantial cost to the operation of the business. The easterly sign near State

WAlS-000810, V-A
Page 4 of 7
Route 167 would require a tall enough crane to reach over the building from the west to reach the
sign for removal.
In addition, East Valley Road is a utility right-of-way corridor with underground sewer lines, gas
lines, and electrical lines. As identified in a similar pole sign variance request by the nearby AFK
Elixirs and Eatery (LUA14-000368), in order to ensure these corridor utility lines are not disturbed
during the installation of a conforming ground-related monument sign, the applicant would be
required to verify and test the existing soil conditions, possibly utilizing hydro-vac excavation
methods, haul away soil, deal with possible groundwater, reinforce or sleeve existing utility lines,
and install a new foundation (Exhibit 9).
Staff has reviewed the proposed variance request and concurs that the requirement to remove the
existing pole sign and replace it with a ground-related monument sign may cause the applicant
unnecessary hardship, Staff has reviewed the proposed variance request and concurs that there
are special circumstances for removing and adding new signs to the property. Staff also concurs
that other property owners in the vicinity have existing pole signs and that the strict interpretation
of the sign regulations would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by nearby properties.
b. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or
injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is
situated:
The applicant contends that the reuse of the signs would allow for advertisement as similarly
allowed to nearby businesses with pole signs. The applicant submitted a site plan (Exhibit 3) and
title report (Exhibit 2) identifying the following easements on the subject property: 1103039 is
dedicated to Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power Company for Electric Transmission and/or
Distribution System, 7605170692 is dedicated to the City of Renton for Water Line Maintenance
and Repair, 20030602001850 is dedicated to the City of Renton for Water line, 8012290361 is
dedicated to the City of Renton for Water Mains, Fire Hydrants, and Water Meters,
20030602001850 is dedicated to the City of Renton for Water line, and 6414758 is dedicated to the
Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle.
Staff has reviewed the applicant's justifications and concurs with their analysis and finds that the
signs would not be enlarged beyond their current sizes. In addition, the reuse of the existing signs
would limit the amount of ground disturbance that would occur if the applicant were required to
remove the pole signs and install a monument sign. The granting of the variance would not be
detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and
zone in which the subject property is situated.
c. That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation
upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated:
The applicant contends that the approval of the variance would allow the tenant the same privilege
already granted to other businesses in the vicinity. Nearby restaurants operating in the same zone
including Burger King and AFK Elixir and Eatery have been permitted to utilize pole signs to identify
their businesses (Exhibit 6). AFK Elixir and Eatery was recently granted approval to reuse an
existing pole sign just two lots to the south of the project site in 2014 (Exhibit 9).
Staff has reviewed the applicant's justifications and concurs that the approval of the variance
would grant the applicant the same privilege to utilize existing pole signs that have been granted to

other properties in the vicinity and same zoning designation. In addition, the granting of this
variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege, as available space on site for a possible
monument sign along East Valley is encumbered by utility easements.
d. That the approval as determined by the Planning Director is a minimum variance that will
accomplish the desired purpose:
The applicant contends that the approval of the variance is the minimum necessary as they are not
requesting taller poles, only the reuse of existing poles with the installation of a similar size sign as
were previously installed on the project site. Given the limited visibility to the building at the far
east of the site, it is clear that a pole sign is the bare minimum that will make this business visible to
drivers on East Valley Road. Staff has reviewed the applicant's justifications and concurs with their
analysis.
The approval of the reuse ofthe existing poles would allow the applicant to install a sign of similar
size as what was previously used on the project site for the Royce Coffee and Lounge and grants
the applicant the same privilege granted to other properties in the project vicinity. However the
approval of this variance should not be intended to grant future tenants the ability to reuse the
pole signs. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the subject variance approval to
reuse the pole signs be valid for a period of 10 years or until a change in tenant whichever comes
last.
The 10-year time frame allows the new business the opportunity to operate and gain capital to
provide sufficient funds to complete the larger amount of work that would be necessary to
construct a monument sign along East Valley and remove the two pole signs. With this condition of
approval, the current tenant will be able to utilize the two pole signs for the time that they occupy
the site, and if the tenant changes, a new tenant could use the pole signs until December 21, 2025.
With this condition of approval the request is the minimum variance that would accomplish the
desired purpose.
I F. CONCLUSIONS:
1. The subject site is located on the east side of East Valley Road, at 3650 E Valley Road, within the
Commercial Arterial (CA) zone and Urban Design District D.
2. The sign regulations prohibit pole signs within Urban Design Areas and only allow one freestanding
sign per street frontage. The applicant is requesting approval to reuse two existing pole signs and
to also allow two signs.
3. The requested variances meet the four criteria to be considered in making a decision on a variance
request as specified in RMC 4-9-250B.5. The analysis of the proposal according to variance criteria
is found in the body of the Staff Report.
I G. DECISION:
The two Administrative Variances for the Fortune Poker Pole Signs Variance, File No. LUA15-000810, is
approved subject to the following condition:
1. The variance approval to reuse the existing two pole signs shall be valid for a period of 10 years or
until a change in tenant whichever comes last.

VARIANCE REQUEST JUSTIFICATION
The subject of this application is a variance for two existing pole signs, one of which is located on
the northwesterly portion of the property, and the other of which is located on the northeasterly portion of
the property.
The property is bordered on the west by East Valley Road and on the east by Highway 167. The
northwesterly pole sign is located near East Valley Road and the northeasterly pole sign is located near
Highway 167.
(1) The Highway 167 Sign. The northeasterly pole sign is visible from Highway 167 and has
been in place for more than 1 O years. The sign is on a pole that is about 25 feet high and the sign itself
adds another approximately 12 feet in height and is about 13 feet wide at its widest point. When added to
the height of the base of the sign the overall height above ground is estimated at 40 feet.
Apparently the sign was installed prior to the construction of the existing building. As a result,
there is currently no way to get heavy equipment to the sign for its removal. Other means would need to
be employed which would most likely require a crane of sufficient size to reach over the building. Such a
crane is, of course, available but would be unduly expensive. On the other hand, use of the sign will give
the property visibility and will help draw business which it is hoped will make for a successful operation.
The sign itself will not be changed except to the extent that it will be labeled to reflect the Fortune
Poker brand and the lighting will be changed to LED bulbs.
Numerous properties in the area, including the Clarion Hotel right next door, have been allowed
to use pole signs on the Highway 167 side so approval of this variance will not give the applicant anything
other businesses are not already using.
(2) The East Valley Road Sign. The northwesterly pole sign is visible from the East Valley
Road. The sign is on a pole that is about 13 feet high and the sign itself adds another approximately 6
feet in height. The sign is about 7 feet wide. When added to the height of the base of the sign the overall
height above ground is estimated at 20 feet.
The sign itself will not be changed except to the extent that it will be labeled to reflect the Fortune
Poker brand and the lighting will be changed to LED bulbs.
The improvements on the property are set well back from the East Valley Road and, as a result of
the neighboring buildings being set much closer to the East Valley Road, the building on the subject
parcel is not visible until a person is right in front of the property. Signage is really the only way to fix the
visibility problem which is why the variance is being sought.
In addition, other properties in the area have pole signs on the East Valley Road that literally
dwarf the sign being discussed here. The elixir eatery, Harley Davidson and Renton Honda pole signs
are all on the East Valley Road and are much larger. As a result, approval of this variance will not give
the applicant anything other businesses are not already using.

Project Description: Applicant proposes to reuse two existing pole signs within the Commercial
Arterial (CA) Zone and Urban Design District D. RMC 4-4-100.G.5 prohibits pole signs within Urban
Design Areas. The west pole sign is 27 feet in height and the east pole sign is 40 feet in height.
The signs were used by the previous building tenant, Royce Coffee and Lounge, and are considered
to be non-conforming. The applicant proposes to reuse the two pole signs and renovate the
existing cabinets. The cabinet on the pole on the east side of the site facing Highway 167 would be
renovated in order to add their logo and the words "Poker," "Restaurant," and "Bar" to the sign.
The sign would have an area of approximately 230 square feet. The sign cabinet on the pole on
the west side of the site facing East Valley Rd would be renovated in order to add their logo, their
name "Fortune Poker," and "Restaurant & Bar." The sign would have an area of approximately 100
square feet. The site is located in the seismic hazard area. A wetland is located along the southerly
border of the site and outside of the two pole sign locations. No other site improvements are
orooosed.

Applicant Signature: Date
Legal description of property located at 3650 East Valley Road, Renton, Washington:
Lot 3, City of Renton Short Plat No. 014-81, according to the short plat thereof recorded
May 20, 1981, under Recording Number 8105209001, records of King County,
Washington;
VARIANCE REQUEST JUSTIFICATION
The subject of this application is a variance for two existing pole signs, one of which is located on
the northwesterly portion of the property, and the other of which is located on the northeasterly portion of
the property.
The property is bordered on the west by East Valley Road and on the east by Highway 167. The
northwesterly pole sign is located near East Valley Road and the northeasterly pole sign is located near
Highway 167.
(1) The Highway 167 Sign. The northeasterly pole sign is visible from Highway 167 and has
been in place for more than 10 years. The sign is on a pole that is about 25 feet high and the sign itself
adds another approximately 12 feet in height and is about 13 feet wide at its widest point. When added to
the height of the base of the sign the overall height above ground is estimated at 40 feet.
Apparently the sign was installed prior to the construction of the existing building. As a result,
there is currently no way to get heavy equipment to the sign for its removal. Other means would need to
be employed which would most likely require a crane of sufficient size to reach over the building. Such a
crane is, of course, available but would be unduly expensive. On the other hand, use of the sign will give
the property visibility and will help draw business which it is hoped will make for a successful operation.
The sign itself will not be changed except to the extent that it will be labeled to reflect the Fortune
Poker brand and the lighting will be changed to LED bulbs.
Numerous properties in the area, including the Clarion Hotel right next door, have been allowed
to use pole signs on the Highway 167 side so approval of this variance will not give the applicant anything
other businesses are not already using.
(2) The East Valley Road Sign. The northwesterly pole sign is visible from the East Valley
Road. The sign is on a pole that is about 13 feet high and the sign itself adds another approximately 6
feet in height. The sign is about 7 feet wide. When added to the height of the base of the sign the overall
height above ground is estimated at 20 feet.
The sign itself will not be changed except to the extent that it will be labeled to reflect the Fortune
Poker brand and the lighting will be changed to LED bulbs.
The improvements on the property are set well back from the East Valley Road and, as a result of
the neighboring buildings being set much closer to the East Valley Road, the building on the subject
parcel is not visible until a person is right in front of the property. Signage is really the only way to fix the
visibility problem which is why the variance is being sought.
In addition, other properties in the area have pole signs on the East Valley Road that literally
dwarf the sign being discussed here. The elixir eatery, Harley Davidson and Renton Honda pole signs
are all on the East Valley Road and are much larger. As a result, approval of this variance will not give
the applicant anything other businesses are not already using.

Partner shall request from the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service a waiver, pursuant to
