DATE: January 16, 2025
TO: Pre-Application File No. PRE24-000387
FROM: Jill Ding, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Bo Temple –
11410 SE Petrovitsky Rd, Renton, WA 98055
Parcel No. 2923059025
General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre-application for the above-
referenced development proposal. The following comments on development and
permitting issues are based on the pre -application submittals made to the City of
Renton by the applicant and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is
cautioned that information contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or
concurrence by official decision-makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Community & Economic
Development Administrator, Public Works Administrator, Planning Director, Development
Services Director, Development Engineering Director, and City Council). Review comments
may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by
City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is e ncouraged to review all applicable
sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The Development Regulations are available online
at https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Renton.
Project Proposal: The project site is located at 11410 SE Petrovitsky Rd (Parcel
#2923059025), totals 38,134 square feet (0.88 acres) in area, and is zoned Residential-14 (R-
14). The applicant proposes to remodel the existing single family residence/mini storage
building and convert the existing structure into a Temple. The proposal would include
converting the upper floor into a worship hall with an ADA bathroom, and the conversion of
the lower level into social halls, office, and storage space. The applicant proposes utilize an
existing surface parking lot with 8 parking spaces. The existing structure totals 2,740 sq. ft.
Access to the site would remain via an existing curb cut off SE Petrovitsky Rd . According to
the City’s COR Mapping system, sensitive slopes (slopes with grades between 15 and 40
percent) are mapped on the project site.
Current Use: The property has an existing single -family/mini-storage structure which is
proposed to be remodeled and converted into a Temple.
1. Zoning /Land Use Designation, and Overlays: The surrounding area, including this
property, has a Comprehensive Plan land use designation of Residential High Density
(RHD) and is zoned Residential 14 (R-14) dwelling units per acre. The R-14 Zone was
established to encourage development, and redevelopment, of residential
neighborhoods that provide a mix of detached and attached dwelling structures
organized and designed to combine characteristics of both typical single family and
Bo Temple
Page 2 of 8
January 16, 2024
small-scale multi-family developments. In addition, the R-14 Zone may allow for civic
and limited commercial uses when they support the purpose of the designation. A
religious institution is permitted in the R-14 zone with an approved hearing examiner
conditional use permit.
2. Development Standards: The project is subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development
Standards for Residential Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete
application (noted as “R-14 standards” herein).
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size in the R-14 zone is 3,000
square feet. The minimum lot depth is 60 feet. The minimum lot width is 30 feet for
interior lots and 40 feet for corner lots. However, no subdivision is proposed;
therefore, the size, width, and depth standards are not applicable.
Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint
and the property line and any private access easement. The required setbacks in the R -
14 zone are 15 feet for the front yard, 10 feet for the rear yard, 4 feet for interior side yard s,
and 15 feet for secondary front yards. If the proposal were amended to include an
expansion to the existing structure, any setbacks for any building expansion would
be verified at the time of land use and building permit application.
Building Height – The maximum wall plate height is 24 feet with 3 stories. Roofs with a
pitch equal to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six (6) vertical feet from the
maximum wall plate height; common rooftop features, such as chimneys, may project
an additional four (4) vertical feet from the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical projections
(e.g., decks, railings, etc.) shall not extend above the maximum wall plate height unless
the projection is stepped back one-and-a-half (1.5) horizontal feet from each façade for
each one (1) vertical foot above the maximum wall plate height. The pre -application
materials did not indicate a proposal for building height expansion. Any building
expansions would be verified for compliance with building height regulations at the
time of land use and building permit application.
Lot Coverage – The R-14 zone allows a maximum building coverage of 65% of the lot area.
The proposal would maintain the existing 4,219 sq. ft. building footprints, which
results in a lot coverage of 11% of the lot area. Building coverage requirements
would be verified at the time of land use and building permit application.
Maximum Impervious Surface Coverage - The maximum impervious surface would be
limited to 80%. The proposal would result in a total impervious area of 27,317 sq. ft.,
which would result in an impervious surface coverage of 72%, which is less than the
80% maximum impervious surface coverage permitted in the R-14 zoned.
Impervious surface requirements would be verified at the time of land use and
building permit application.
3. Residential Design and Open Space Standards: The proposal would not be subject to
the Residential Design Standards outlined in RMC 4 -2-115 as the proposal is not a single
family residential use.
4. Refuse and Recycling Areas: All new developments for religious institutions shall
provide on-site refuse and recyclable deposit areas and collection points for collection
in compliance with RMC 4-4-090, Refuse and Recyclables Standards. These areas shall
Bo Temple
Page 3 of 8
January 16, 2024
not be located within required setbacks or landscaped areas and shall not be located in
a manner that hauling trucks obstruct pedestrian or vehicle traffic on-site or project into
public right-of-way. In office, educational and institutional developments, a minimum of
two (2) square feet per every one thousand (1,000) square feet of building gross floor area
shall be provided for recyclables deposit areas and a minimum of four (4) square feet per
one thousand (1,000) square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided for refuse
deposit areas. A total minimum area of one hundred (100) square feet shall be provided
for recycling and refuse deposit areas. Based on a building square footage of 2,740
square feet, the applicant would be required to provide a total minimum of 100
square feet of refuse and recyclable deposit areas.
5. Landscaping: The proposal would be subject to the landscaping regulations in RMC 4-4-
070. The landscape standards require that all pervious areas within the property
boundaries be landscaped. Therefore, all areas of the site not covered by structures,
required parking, access, circulation or patios, must be landscaped with native, drought -
resistant vegetative cover. Ten feet (10') of on-site landscaping is required along all
public street frontages, with the exception of areas for required walkways and
driveways. Due to the proximity to adjacent residential uses, a fifteen-foot (15’) wide
partially sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, or ten -foot (10;) wide fully sight-
obscuring landscaped visual barrier, will be required along the common property
lines. Street tree species from the City Approved Street Tree List shall be provided along
the project site’s ROW frontage between the curb and sidewalk as referenced in RMC 4 -
4-070F.2.
In addition, the vehicle parking lot shall meet the minimum standards set forth in the
landscape regulations, including both perimeter landscaping and interior landscaping.
All parking lots shall have perimeter landscaping with a minimum depth of 10 feet along
the street frontage. Within this perimeter screen trees shall be planted at a minimum of
2-inch caliper at an average rate of 30 lineal feet of street frontage, shrubs at the
minimum rate of one per 20 square feet, and groundcover in quantities that w ill provide
at least 90 percent (90%) coverage within 3 years. Parking lots with more than 14 must
be include interior planters sized at least 9’ x 13’ in order to accommodate trees as they
mature. Minimum interior parking lot landscaping shall be provided follows:
Total Number of
Parking Stalls
Minimum
Landscape Area
15 to 50 15 sf/parking space
51 to 99 25 sf/parking space
100 or more 35 sf/parking space
*Please note that perimeter landscaping cannot be used as a substitute for interior
landscaping.
Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) for further general and specific
landscape requirements. A detailed landscape plan would be required at the time of
formal land use application.

Significant trees shall be retained in the following priority order:
Priority One: Landmark trees; significant trees that form a continuous canopy; significant
trees on slopes greater than twenty percent (20%); significant trees adjacent to critical
areas and their associated buffers; significant trees over sixty feet (60') in height o r
greater than eighteen inches (18") caliper; and trees that shelter interior trees or trees on
Bo Temple
Page 5 of 8
January 16, 2024
abutting properties from strong winds, which could otherwise allow such sheltered trees
to be blown down if removed.
Priority Two: Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be preserved;
other significant native evergreen or deciduous trees; and other significant non -native
trees.
Priority Three: Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other trees have been
evaluated for retention and are not able to be retained unless the alders and/ or
cottonwoods are used as part of an approved enhancement project within a critical area
or its buffer.
The Administrator may require independent review of any land use application that
involves tree removal and land clearing at the City's discretion.
The Administrator may authorize the planting of replacement trees on the site if it can be
demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction that replacement requirements in RMC
4-4-130H1e can be met.
Tree retention standards shall be applied to the developable area, as defined in RMC
4-11-040, Definitions D, of a property. A formal tree retention/planting plan and tree
retention and tree credit worksheet prepared by an arborist or landscape architect
would be reviewed at the time of the land use application.
7. Fences/Retaining Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences or walls as part of
this project, the location must be designated on the landscape plan. A wall taller than
four feet (4') requires a building permit. Fences up to six feet (6’) in height are permitted
in the rear yard, side yard; fences up to four feet (4’) are permitted in the front yard. Any
part of a yard that is within a clear vision area has a limited fence height of 42 -inches. A
fence shall not be constructed on top of a retaining wall unless the total combined height
of the retaining wall and the fence does not exceed the allowed height of a standalone
fence. New or existing fencing would need to comply with the fence requirements of the
code (RMC 4-4-040).
Retaining walls shall be composed of brick, rock, textured or patterned concrete, or other
masonry product that complements the proposed building and site development. There
shall be a minimum three-foot (3') landscaped setback at the base of retaining walls
abutting public rights-of-way. Please refer to retaining wall standards (RMC 4-4-040) for
additional information about fences and retaining walls.
8. Parking: Parking standards found in RMC 4-4-080 apply. A minimum and maximum of 1
for every 5 seats in the main auditorium is required for the proposed use; however, in no
case shall there be less than 10 spaces. Religious institutions seating capacity outside
of the auditorium would also be subject to the parking requirements for “outdoor and
indoor sports arenas, auditoriums, stadiums, movie theaters, and entertainment clubs”
uses, which would require a minimum and maximum of 1 for every 4 fixed seats or 10 per
1,000 square feet of floor area of main auditorium or of principal place of assembly not
containing fixed seats, whichever is greater. It is unclear what the fixed or unfixed
seating capacity of the main auditorium. Therefore, the applicant will be required, at
the time of formal land use permit application, to provide detailed parking analysis
Bo Temple
Page 6 of 8
January 16, 2024
and calculations of the subject site to determine the minimum and maximum
number of parking stalls allowed by the use.
It should be noted that the parking regulations specify standard stall dimensions (RMC
4-4-080). Surface parking stalls must be a minimum of 9 feet x 20 feet, compact
dimensions of 8½ feet x 16 feet, and parallel stall dimensions of 9 feet x 23 feet; compact
surface parking spaces shall not account for more than 30 percent of the spaces in the
surface parking lots.
ADA accessible stalls must be a minimum of 8 feet in width by 20 feet in length, with an
adjacent access aisle of 8 feet in width for van accessible spaces. The appropriate
amount of ADA accessible stalls based on the total number of spaces must be provided.
See RMC 4-4-080F.8 and RMC 4-4-080F.11 for further general and specific parking
requirements.
Bicycle parking is required for non-residential development that exceeds four thousand
(4,000) gross square feet in size. The number of required bicycle parking spaces would
be equivalent to ten percent of the number of required off -street parking spaces. Spaces
shall meet the requirements of RMC 4-4-080F.11.b.
9. Access/Driveways: Access to the site is proposed via one curb cut off SE Petrovitsky Rd.
