Project Description
The proposed project is located at 510 S 3rd Street, Renton, WA (PIDs 7841800195,
7841800205, and 5696000005). The site current consists of a gravel lot and Gateway
Park. The World Cup Square project would involve the construction of a soccer mini-
pitch and stage with screen on the gravel lot. Additionally, Gateway Park will be
reconstructed to include a new play structure. See Figure 2 for Proposed Site Plan.

Background
The existing gravel lot serves as a pop-up event space, hosting public events
throughout the year. According to the City’s “Policy Guidelines for Traffic Impact
Analysis of New Development” a traffic study is required at the time of land use
submittal if the proposed project generates more than 20 new AM or PM peak hour
project trips.
Trip Generation
The proposed World Cup Square project is expected to generate the vehicular trips
during the average weekday, street traffic AM and PM peak hours. The trip generation
for the project is calculated using trip rates from the ITE Trip Generation manual, 11th
Edition, for Soccer Complex (ITE LUC 488). All site trips made by all vehicles for all
purposes, including event seating, picnic area, and a playground are included in the
trip generation values.

Conclusion

to result in less than 20 net new AM and PM peak hour trips when compared to the
existing use. Therefore, a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is not expected to be required.
