OF ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
ISSUANCE OF A DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE - MITIGATED (DNS-M)
POSTED TO NOTIFY INTERESTED PERSONS OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION
PROJECT NAME: Southport Office Helipad
PROJECT NUMBER: LUA18-000115, ECF, CU-H
LOCATION: 1101 Lake Washington Blvd N Renton, WA 98056
DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Environmental
(SEPA) Review to construct a rooftop helipad near the south end of Tower 2 at the Southport Office Complex. The
structure on which the helipad is proposed is part of a three-structure office complex that has been permitted
separately and is currently under construction. Tower 2 is located in the Urban Center (UC) zoning district on a
245,086 square feet (5.63 acres) parcel at 1101 Lake Washington Blvd N. The 9-story Southport Office Building 2 has
been designed to support a thickened concrete helipad slab measuring 30 ft x 30 ft (900 sf) in size. The helipad
would be classified as “private-use” helipad for light-turbine helicopters, classified as H-1. The surrounding
landmarks include Renton Municipal Airport to the west, I-405 Freeway to the east and Lake Washington
approximately 650 feet to the north. The proposed helipad is expected to have minimal effect on adjacent
properties.
