PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, the City of Renton, is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review and a Shoreline Exemption for a maintenance and improvement project at the Renton

designated as the “243 Building Apron,” is located near the existing administrative building at 243 W Perimeter Rd at the south-west corner of the airport site. The second apron, designated
as the “Wind sock Apron,” is located around the mid-point of the runway on the east side of the airport adjacent to E Perimeter Rd and the Cedar River. The applicant is proposing full
depth pavement repair, replacement of aircraft tiedowns, and minor stormwater conveyance system improvements at both project locations. The 243 Building Apron also includes a publicly
accessible parking lot proposed for full depth pavement repair and restriping. No parking stalls are proposed for removal. Work is proposed within 100 feet of the Cedar River ordinary
high water mark, but no in-water work is proposed. A high seismic hazard area, high erosion hazard area, sensitive and protected slopes, and Wellhead Protection Area Zone 2 are mapped
on the airport site according to City of Renton (COR) Maps. A Flood Hazard Area pursuant to the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) is also located on the subject site. The hazard
area on the site, a Special Flood Zone AE (base flood elevation determined), is classified as a 100-year flood plain. The FIRM maps indicate the base flood elevation to be 26 feet Mean
Sea Level (MSL). In addition, a portion of proposed improvements are located within Reach A of the Cedar River with an Environmental Designation of Shoreline High Intensity. The Cedar
