ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT
ERC Meeting Date: February 10, 2025
Project File Number: PR24-000002
Project Name: SW 41st St Rezone
Land Use File Number: LUA24-000281, ECF, R
Project Manager: Jill Ding, Senior Planner
Owner: Kana Properties, LLC, 101 SW 41st St, Renton, WA 98057
Applicant/Contact: William Millhollin, Northwest Permit, 1026 SW 151st St, Burien, WA 98166
Project Location: 101 SW 41st St, Renton, WA 98057 (APN 3926800040)
Project Summary: The applicant is requesting a Rezone and Environmental (SEPA) Review to
change the existing zoning from Commercial Office (CO) to Commercial
Arterial (CA). The purpose of the Commercial Arterial zone (CA) is to evolve from
“strip commercial” linear business districts to business areas characterized by
enhanced site planning and pedestrian orientation, incorporating efficient
parking lot design, coordinated access, amenities and boulevard treatment
with greater densities. The CA zone provides for a wide variety of retail sales,
services, and other commercial activities along high-volume traffic corridors.
Residential uses may be integrated into the zone through mixed-use buildings.
The requested rezone is intended to accommodate expanded retail use types
to align with the current use demand of the neighborhood. The proposed rezone
is not associated with a proposed development at this time. The project site is
located within the Employment Area (EA) Comprehensive Plan Land Use
Designation. No change in the existing vehicular access points are proposed.
The project site is mapped within a high seismic hazard area.
