SUBJECT: "On Hold" Notice / Request for Additional Information
Weatherly Inn / LUA18-000011
Dear Mr. Durocher,
The Department’s Planning Division has received written comments regarding your land use
application that include concerns with the requested parking modification to reduce the number
of spaces required by Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-080F.10.d. Additionally, staff has
determined the parking modification request lacks adequate information to formulate a
recommendation on the matter to the City Hearing Examiner , therefore the application will be
placed on hold as of the date of this letter and the May 22, 2018 public hearing is now
postponed.
The following information will need to be submitted before July 24, 2018 so that we may
continue the review of the above subject application:
1. Please provide a written response to the enclosed public comment letter submitted by
Nancy Osborn, dated April 24, 2018. City staff will forward your response to Ms. Osborn
and include it with the application file.
2. Please have a qualified transportation professional prepare a site-specific plan by that
clearly articulates the justification for the reduced number of parking spaces and
provides adequate mitigation measures. The plan should include but not be limited to:
The number of dedicated staff and visitor spaces that would be made available
and how resident parking would be allocated, such as a subscription based
premium.
Provide parking capacity numbers and demand from other comparable assisted
living/memory care facilities with similar surroundings and lack of available on
street parking.
Potential for a joint parking agreement with the neighboring office property for
the building’s off-peak use.
A dedicated chauffeuring program for residents.
Free or subsidized public transit and/or vanpool opportunities for staff.
An adopted procedure for the development that requires resident, staff, and
visitor vehicles to be parked on-site or an approved joint use facility.
Contingency plan. What procedures will the facility put in place if parking begins
to spill off-site?
At this time, your project has been placed “on hold” pending receipt of the requested
information. The public hearing scheduled for May 22, 2018 is now postponed and will be
rescheduled upon submittal of requested items. Please contact me at (425) 430-6593 or
mherrera@rentonwa.gov if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Matt Herrera, AICP
Senior Planner
