1. The applicant did not specify the exact area/space of proposed use or square
footage. A Change of Use will require a building permit and may require an
annual Place of Assembly permit from the fire department. Also depending
on any building changes, the existing fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems may
need modifications. Separate plans and permits would be required to be
submitted to and reviewed and approved by the fire department for any
required changes to the fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems.
2. Fire impact fees for a church use are less than that for medical office use, so
no fire impact fees would apply in this case.

FROM: Nichole D. Perry, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Multi-Purpose Use
200 SW 41st St, Renton WA 98057 (APN 1253600050)
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 encouraged 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 applicant is proposing to convert an existing two-story commercial
building unit (approximately 13,385 square feet) into a multi-purpose use at 200 SW 41st St
Renton, WA 98058 (APN 1253600050). The applicants plan to utilize a small portion of the
building for social services. The activities will be low impact and require no structural
changes or modification to the building exterior. The activities may include informal youth
education, women’s support groups, senior gatherings, other small-scale community-
focused events. The proposed use would not conflict with current tenants. The subject
property covers 35,000 square feet (0.80 acres) and is situated within the Commercial
Arterial (CA) zoning district. The Comprehensive Plan designation for the site is Employment
Area (U-A), and it is located within the Valley Community Planning Area and Auto mall Area
C. According to City of Renton (COR) Maps, the site contains high seismic hazard areas.
Current Use: The project site is currently developed with a two-story commercial building
and parking lot with 54 existing parking stalls. The units make up several medical offices such
as acupuncture, chiropractic and dentistry offices.
Zoning/Land Use Designation, and Overlays: The property is located within the
Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning designation. The Comprehensive Plan designation for the
site is Employment Area (EA), and it is located within the Valley Community Planning Area
and Auto mall Area C. The proposed use is to operate a multi-purpose space.

April 17, 2025
CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre-
Applications\2025\PRE25-000093
According to RMC 4-2-060, Zoning District Uses and Standards, social service
organizations are a permitted use within the CA zone with a Hearing Examiner
Conditional Use. As defined in RMC 4-11-040, Section E, social service organizations are
public or nonprofit agencies that provide counseling, therapy, job training, educational
classes, food banks, clothing banks, or other social or human services to persons
needing such services, but do not provide crisis intervention, day or night shelter, or
case management. This does not include religious institutions, offices, government
facilities, schools, hospitals, clinics, day care, homeless services uses, medical
institutions, diversion facilities, lodging in any form, or residential uses.
1. Development Standards:
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The submitted plans should show compliance with
the minimum lot size requirement of 5,000 square feet in the CA zone. There are no
specified minimum width or depth standards.
The site area of approximately 35,000 square feet (0.80 acres) exceeds the minimum lot
size requirement. If any site modifications or lot boundary adjustments are proposed,
they must meet dimensional standards prior to building permit issuance. Submitted
plans would need to show compliance with the required lot size and dimensional
standard with the land use application.
Setbacks – The CA zone requires a 15-foot minimum front/secondary front yard setback
and a 20-foot maximum front/secondary front yard setback, with no rear or side setbacks
unless the site abuts a residential zone, in which case a 15-foot setback is required.
Since the proposal involves retaining the existing building, the applicant should
verify that any changes to the site layout or additions comply with these setback
requirements. Submitted plans would need to show the existing structures and any
future structures or additions to the existing building must comply with the required
setbacks at the time of formal land use application.
Building Height and Impervious Surface Coverage – The maximum permitted building
height in the CA zone is 50 feet except 70 feet for vertically mixed-use buildings
(commercial and residential). Heights may exceed the Zone’s maximum height with a
Conditional Use Permit. The maximum impervious surface coverage is 65% of the lot
area, or 75% if parking is provided within a building or an on-site parking garage. The
formal land use review will verify compliance with these standards.
The building height and coverage requirements would be verified at the time of
formal application if choosing to make building modifications. If the existing building
does not comply with the required setbacks for the CA zone. Any changes to the
building footprint would be required to meet all development standards in the CA
zone. See below for non-conforming requirements.
2. Refuse and Recycling Areas: Per RMC 4-4-090.E.3 for commercial, industrial and other
nonresidential developments, the property development standards require a minimum
of two (2) square feet per 1,000 square feet of building gross floor area for recyclables
deposit areas and a minimum of four (4) square feet per 1,000 square feet for refuse
deposit areas. A total minimum area of one hundred (100) square feet shall be provided
for recycling and refuse deposit areas. The exact total area required will depend on the
Multi-Purpose Use
Page 3 of 8
April 17, 2025
CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre-
Applications\2025\PRE25-000093
square footage of the existing buildings retained for the new use(s). The applicant should
provide a calculation of the refuse and recycling space requirements based on the gross
floor area of the existing structures, ensuring the designated areas meet the minimum
standards. Garbage dumpsters, refuse compactor areas, and recycling collection areas
must be fenced or screened. A six foot (6') wall or fence shall enclose any outdoor refuse
or recyclables deposit area. It appears that there is a designated space on site for refuse
and recycling, one dumpster for refuse and one dumpster for recycling. Currently the
screening is down and would need to be fixed to be compliant.
Refuse and recyclables deposit areas can be centralized or dispersed throughout the
site, but they must be easily accessible for users and collection trucks. The proposal
should also include details on the location and design of these areas to ensure
compliance with accessibility requirements. Verification of compliance would occur
during the formal land use review process.
3. Landscaping: Changes in the use of a property or remodel of a structure that requires
improvements equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the assessed property
valuation requires landscaping. If the proposal requires landscaping, the plans will
need to comply with the landscaping requirements for all pervious areas within the
property boundaries Areas not covered by structures, parking, access, circulation, or
patios must be landscaped with native, drought-resistant vegetation. The project will
also need to provide ten feet (10') of on-site landscaping along all public street frontages,
with exceptions for walkways and driveways.
If the property requires landscaping improvements, a detailed landscape plan will
need to be submitted as part of the formal land use application, demonstrating
compliance with these standards and any additional requirements for buffering and
screening.
4. Significant Tree Retention: When significant trees (greater than 6-inch caliper or 8-
caliper inches for alders and cottonwoods) are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory
and a tree retention plan along with an arborist report, tree retention plan and tree
retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application as defined in
RMC 4-8-120. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least 30% of
significant trees. Please refer to RMC 4-4-130, Tree Retention and Land Clearing
Regulations for further general and specific tree retention and land clearing
requirements.
In addition to retaining a minimum of 30% of existing significant trees, each new lot would
be required to provide a minimum tree density of 30 tree credits per net acre. Tree credits
encourage retention of existing significant trees with larger trees being worth more tree
credits.

areas and their associated buffers; significant trees over sixty feet (60') in height or
greater than eighteen inches (18") caliper; and trees that shelter interior trees or trees on
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 4-4-130H.1.e 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 plan and tree credit
worksheet prepared by an arborist or landscape architect would be required if the
proposal includes any expansion or addition of the existing building.

5. Screening: Screening is required for all surface-mounted and rooftop utility and
mechanical equipment as per RMC 4-4-095, Screening and Storage Height/Location
Limitations. The proposal should include elevations and details of the methods used for
screening any equipment if applicable. Screening measures should address visual
impact reduction for areas where vehicles or contractor equipment may be stored.
6. Fences/Retaining Walls: If the project includes fencing or retaining walls, their
locations must be clearly shown on the landscape plan and grading plan, including top
of wall and bottom of wall elevations. Any retaining wall that is four feet (4’) or taller
(measured from the footing to the top of the wall) will require a building permit. The
maximum allowable height for fences and retaining walls is 72 inches, subject to
additional height restrictions in setbacks and clear vision areas, as noted in RMC 4-4-
040D.
If the proposal includes a fence on top of a retaining wall, ensure that the total combined
height does not exceed the height limit for a standalone fence. The plans should also
consider screening requirements for any fenced yard areas and ensure an adequate
visual buffer.
7. Parking: Per RMC 4-4-080, the existing medical offices and shopping centers that
include 4 or more individual commercial establishments, require a minimum and
maximum of 5.0 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of net floor area. The current
building is approximately 13,385 square feet while the vacant area to be used for the
mixed use space is a total 5,797 square feet. There are 54 existing parking stalls, three
medical offices and the proposed mixed use space.
The applicant must provide detailed parking information with the formal land use
application, including stall dimensions, drive aisle measurements, and total parking
calculations based on the actual square footage used for the mixed use.
• Surface parking stalls have minimum dimensions of 9 feet x 20 feet, with compact
stalls measuring 8½ feet x 16 feet and parallel stalls measuring 9 feet x 23 feet.
• Compact spaces do not exceed 30% of the total spaces in surface parking areas.
• ADA-accessible stalls meet the required dimensions of 8 feet in width by 20 feet in
length, with an adjacent 8-foot-wide access aisle for van-accessible spaces. The number
of ADA stalls must align with the total parking provided.
• Bicycle Parking: Bicycle parking must be provided at a rate of 10% of the number of
required parking spaces. Depending on the scenario chosen and the total number of
spaces, the applicant must ensure compliance with RMC 4-4-080F.11 for bicycle parking
standards.
8. Access/Driveways: Within the CA zone, parking, loading, and driveway regulations
specified in RMC 4-4-080 will apply, particularly if the project involves modifications to
the existing buildings or new construction. The maximum driveway slope shall not
exceed eight percent (8%). The Administrator may allow a driveway to exceed eight
percent (8%) slope but not more than fifteen percent (15%) slope, upon proper
application in writing and for good cause shown, which shall include, but not be limited
to, the absence of any reasonable alternative. To exceed fifteen percent (15%), a variance
from the Administrator is required.

The primary egress and ingress for the site appear to be off SW 41st St to the south. A
second access point is from East Valley Highway. The formal land use review will
verify compliance with access standards, including the adequacy of the driveways
for fire access, loading areas, and general circulation. The applicant will ensure that
the proposed driveway design accommodates safe access for both vehicle
circulation and pedestrian safety.
9. Auto mall District: The proposal requires compliance with the Auto Mall Area C in RMC
4-3-040. These regulations establish development standards to implement the Renton
Auto mall Improvement Plan by guiding the redevelopment of the Auto mall District.
10. Street Pattern: The proposal will maintain the existing street pattern with the site plan
containing two access points. The primary access from SW 41st St. and secondary access
from East Valley Highway. No new streets or changes to the existing street layout are
proposed.
Further assessment would be needed to confirm that the driveway locations and
widths meet city standards and accommodate the anticipated traffic flow,
particularly during peak hours of operation. Compliance with RMC standards would
be verified during the formal review process.
11. Critical Areas: The project site contains high seismic hazard areas per the City of Renton
(COR) Maps. It is the applicant’s responsibility to determine whether any critical
areas are present on the site prior to formal land use application.
12. Conditional Use Permit: Under the proposed regulations, the use would be required to
comply with the following criteria (RMC 4-9-030):
• Consistency with Plans and Regulations: The proposed use shall be compatible
with the general goals, objectives, policies and standards of the Comprehensive
Plan, the zoning regulations and any other plans, programs, maps or ordinances
of the City of Renton.
• Appropriate Location: The proposed location shall not result in the detrimental
overconcentration of a particular use within the City or within the immediate area
of the proposed use. The proposed location shall be suited for the proposed use.

13. Environmental Review: The vacant suites total 5,797 square feet. The proposal requires
a SEPA review due to the tenant space to be utilized being over 4,000 square feet.
Compliance with RMC 4-9-070 and WAC 197-11-800 will be reviewed at the time of
formal land use application.
14. Permit Requirements: The proposal will require a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use
Permit and SEPA review. The land use review would include public notice and a two-week
public comment period. Once a complete application is submitted and all fees are paid,
a decision can be issued in approximately 12 weeks. The 2025 conditional use permit fee
is $3,825.00 and the SEPA review fee is $1,856.00. Each modification request is $299.00.
All fees are subject to change. All fees have a 5% Technology Fee added to the total cost
of the reviews would also be assessed at the time of land use application. The primary
permits would include:
• Conditional Use Permit: Per RMC 4-9-030, conditional use permits allow for review
of certain uses with special characteristics that may not generally be appropriate
within a zoning district but may be permitted subject to conditions and mitigation
measures that protect public health, safety and welfare and ensure compatibility
with other uses in the district.
• SEPA: Per RMC, RMC 4-9-070 contains procedures that implement the requirements
of the State Environmental Policy Act of 1971 (SEPA).
• Building Permits: Any modifications to existing structures or new construction will
require building permits. If the project includes retaining walls, fences, or outdoor
storage areas, separate permits may also be needed.
• Other Permits/Approvals: Additional permits may be required based on specific site
improvements, such as sign permit, grading permits for significant site work, or right-of-
way permits if street improvements are needed.
The applicant should ensure that all application materials and required plans are
submitted according to the City’s submittal requirements, and compliance with permit
conditions and mitigation measures will be verified during the formal review process.
Detailed information regarding the land use permit application submittal requirements
can be found on online under the Conditional Use Permit Submittal Requirements and
Submittal Requirements documents. Other informational applications and handouts
can be found on the City’s Digital Records Library. The City requires electronic plan
submittal for all applications. Please refer to the City’s Electronic File Standards.
15. Waivers of Submittal Requirements: The submittal checklist is not an exhaustive list of
submittal requirements and may be modified in cases where additional information is
required to complete the review of an application. In addition, non-applicable submittal
requirements may be waived. The applicant should contact the assigned Project
Manager if there are any questions regarding submittal requirements.
16. Public Information Sign: Public Information Signs are required for all Type II Land Use
Permits as classified by RMC 4-8-080. Public Information Signs are intended to inform
the public of potential land development, specific permits/actions being considered by
the City, and to facilitate timely and effective public participation in the review process.
The applicant must follow the specifications provided in the public information sign

maintenance, removal, and any costs associated with the sign.
17. Impact Fees: In addition to standard building and construction fees, impact fees will be
required for the proposed redevelopment. These fees are subject to change, and the
rates in effect at the time of building permit issuance will apply. For informational
purposes, the 2025 impact fees are as follows:
• Fire Impact Fee: Fire impact fees for a church use are less than that for
medical office use, so no fire impact fees would apply in this case.
• Transportation Impact Fee: Charged based on net new PM peak hour person
vehicle trips generated by the development.
The applicant should refer to the most up-to-date City of Renton Development Fee
Schedule for accurate impact fee rates and other development-related fees. It is
advisable to verify current rates during the building permit application process to ensure
accurate fee calculations.
18. Next Steps: When the formal application materials are complete, the applicant must
have the materials pre-screened prior to submitting the complete application package.

If portions of the building are going to be used for religious worship or
meetings/gatherings of 50 or more persons, a building permit is required for a
change of occupancy classification. This will require building plans prepared by a
professional designer or architect showing the existing floorplan of the building and
additionally showing the proposed floorplan and how the building will conform with
the Washington State Existing Building Code sections 306.5 and 1001.2.2 for the
change of occupancy.
