PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Unico Properties, is requesting Hearing Examiner Master Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review to develop the Longacres
Campus into a mixed-use development. The Longacre Site totals approximately 158 acres and includes approximately 850,000 square feet of existing office space, maintenance buildings,
and landscaped area. The proposed Project Site would include approximately 85 acres of the main campus area. The project site is zoned Commercial Office (CO) and industrial (IM) and
is located within Urban Design District D and the Employment Area (EA) Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation. The proposal would retain approximately 330,000 square feet of existing
commercial space on the site and add approximately 3,000 new residential units, approximately 1,400,000 square feet of future commercial and medical office, approximately 230,000 square
feet of industrial uses, approximately 100,000 square feet of retail, food and beverage, two (2) hotel sites (with approximately 150-200 rooms), and an 8,000 person music venue. The
plan proposes to demolish the existing building on parcel 7 for a future music venue. The plan proposes to build approximately 6,500 parking stalls to support the site uses. The proposed
project site consists of 18 separate parcels (APNs 088670-0010, -0020, -0030, -0040, 0050, -0060, -0070, -0080, -0120, -0130, -0140, -0200, -0210, -0220, -0230, -0250, -0360, and 242304-9050)
located at 1301 SW 16th St and 1901 Oakesdale Ave SW. In addition, the overall Site includes three (3) industrial parcels that provide the power, heat, and cooling (APNs 2423049071,
-9052, and -9048) located at 1300, 1302 SW 16th St. According to City of Renton (COR) Maps, the Site is mapped with high seismic hazard areas, special flood hazard areas (100-year flood)
FEMA Zone AE, regulated shorelines, regulated slopes, and wetlands. It is anticipated that additional permit applications would be submitted in the future as the project proposal is
further refined.
