SEA RENTON RETAIL STORE LUA18-000142
May 1, 2018 Page 5 of 11
D_CUP_Administrative_Report_180501
and siting of new towers or equipment should be compatible with the goals and overall intent of the
design regulations. All new wireless communication facilities are required to meet the standards and
requirements in RMC 4-4-140 in lieu of the typical development standards based on zoning designation.
Compliance Wireless Communication Facility Standards Analysis
a. Equipment Shelters/Cabinets:
Location - Equipment shelters and cabinets used to house related equipment
should be located within buildings or placed underground, unless it is infeasible.
Screening - Equipment shelters and cabinets shall be surrounded by a fifteen
foot (15') wide sight obscuring landscape buffer around the outside perimeter of
required security fencing with a minimum height that is no less than the height
of the compound fence at any point. Existing topography, vegetation and other
site characteristics may provide relief from the screening requirement
Size - The applicant shall provide documentation that the size of any equipment
shelters or cabinets is the minimum necessary to meet the provider’s service
needs.
Generators –
i. Architectural integration is required (if applicable).
ii. To the extent feasible, generators shall be enclosed along with the related
equipment. Similar to equipment shelters, the screening for the generator
shall utilize similar building materials, colors, accents, and textures as the
primary building; if no buildings exist on site, ensure that the building is
designed to blend in with the environment.
iii. A screening wall and/or landscaping material shall be required to mitigate
visual impacts.
iv. Fences shall be constructed of materials that complement and blend in with
the surroundings.
v. Anti-graffiti finish shall be applied to all solid fences, walls, and gates.
vi. A noise analysis shall be required to demonstrate that the generator will
operate within allowed noise limits if the generator is the sole power source.
Staff Comment: The associated cabinet equipment would be located inside a room
on the first floor of the existing structure and according to the applicant, would not
be visible when viewed from outside. The cabling used to connect the interior
equipment with the roof-mounted antennas would be located on the roof and would
not be visible from the ground. Due to the importance of the first floor glazing on the
building’s visual impact, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the
applicant provide the exact location of the internal equipment to the Current
Planning Project Manager for approval prior to building permit application.
b. Maximum Height: The maximum building height permitted in the UC zone is 10
stories along primary and secondary arterials and 6 stories along residential/minor
collectors. The maximum height of wireless communication facilities is governed by
RMC 4-4-140F, which limits the height of concealed and/or camouflaged WCFs
erected on a rooftop to sixteen feet (16') above the allowed zone height.

D_CUP_Administrative_Report_180501
Staff Comment: The max height above grade of the proposed concealed WCF is
thirty feet (30’). The proposal complies with the maximum height permitted in the
UC zone.
Shall comply
using the CUP
Criteria below
under FOF 18.a
c. Visual Impact: RMC 4-4-140F.3 requires that site location and development
preserve the pre-existing character of the surrounding buildings and landscape to
the extent consistent with the function of the communications equipment. Towers
shall be integrated through location and design to blend in with the existing
characteristics of the site to the extent practical. Existing on-site vegetation shall be
preserved or improved, and disturbance of the existing topography shall be
minimized, unless such disturbance would result in less adverse visual impact to the
surrounding area. Towers, antennas and related equipment shall be uniformly
painted a non-reflective neutral color that best matches the colors within the
immediately surrounding built and natural landscape in order to reduce the contrast
between the WCF and the landscape.
Staff Comment: The proposed location of the concealed WCF, on the rooftop of the
existing structure, creates a negligible visual impact on the building and site as a
whole. Both enclosures would extend a maximum of eight feet (8’) above the existing
parapet and would entirely screen the proposed antennas. The applicant has
proposed matching the aesthetic look of the enclosure walls with the various façade
materials on the existing building. See Conditional Use Permit analysis provided
below in FOF 19.a, and the associated condition of approval.
N/A
d. Setbacks: RMC 4-4-140F.4 requires that towers be set back from each property
line by a distance equal to the tower height, unless an engineering analysis concludes
that a reduced setback is safe for abutting properties and the Administrator
determines that a reduced setback is appropriate for the site.
e. Maximum Noise Levels: RMC 4-4-140F.5 limits the noise of equipment associated
with Wireless Communication Facilities to forty five (45) decibels as measured from
the nearest property line on which the facility is located.
Staff Comment: The applicant has stated in their project narrative that they do not
anticipate any changes in the noise levels. If noise levels exceed the maximum decibel
limit, the applicant would be required to bring the proposed facility into compliance
with code.
e. Fencing: RMC 4-4-040 limits fences within commercial and industrial zoning to a
maximum height of 8 feet. In addition, RMC 4-4-140F.6 requires the installation of
security fencing coated with a non-reflective neutral fence.
Staff Comment: No fencing is proposed as a part of the concealed WCF project.
f. Lighting: RMC 4-4-140F.7 prohibits the artificial lighting of towers or antennas,
unless required by the FAA or other authority.
Staff Comment: No new lighting is proposed as a part of the concealed WCF project.
g. Advertising Prohibited: RMC 4-4-140F.8 prohibits the placement of advertising
on any part of the Wireless Communication Facility or associated equipment.
Staff Comment: The applicant has not proposed any type of advertising to be
included on the structure.
h. Building Standards: RMC 4-4-140F.9 requires support structures to be constructed
so as to meet or exceed the most recent Electronic Industries

demonstrated
Association/Telecommunications Industries Association (EIA/TIA) 222 Revision G
Standard. Prior to issuance of a building permit the Building Official shall be provided
with an engineer’s certification that the support structure’s design meets or exceeds
those standards.
Staff Comment: The structural integrity of the proposed concealed WCF will be
evaluated via engineering analysis at the time of application for the building permit.
i. Radio Frequency Standards: RMC 4-4-140F.10 requires the applicant to ensure
that the Wireless Communication Facility will not cause localized interference with
the reception of area television or radio broadcasts.
Staff Comment: The applicant does not anticipate any inference with the reception
of the area television or radio broadcasts and would be required to immediately
address any interference issues should they be reported.
j. Concealed Wireless Communication Facility Standards: RMC 4-4-140 requires
concealed facilities to meet minimum standards that effectively disguise the tower.
1. Building Addition: All antennas shall be fully concealed within a structure
that is architecturally compatible with the existing building. Roof top additions
shall be concealed on all sides.
2. Related Equipment: The related equipment shall be completely concealed
inside a structure or inside an underground vault. Concrete masonry unit
(CMU) walls and prefabricated facilities do not meet the intent of a concealed
WCF. Equipment enclosures shall be designed to be compatible with the
existing building/structure.
3. Materials: Fiberglass reinforced plastic or radio frequency transparent
materials may be used to screen and integrate a WCF with an existing building.
Visible transition lines between the old and new surfaces are prohibited.
4. Architectural Elements: New architectural features such as columns,
pilasters, corbels, or other ornamentation that conceal antennas may be used
if it complements the architecture of the existing building.
Staff Comment: The antennas associated with the proposed WCF would be fully
screened behind RF-porous panels made of materials that are substantially similar to
those used on the exterior of the existing building. All associated cabinet equipment
would be located entirely inside of a room on the first floor the existing building and
would not be visible from the outside of the building. See FOF 18 below for analysis
related to the concealed WCF.
17. Critical Areas: Project sites which contain critical areas are required to comply with the Critical Areas
Regulations (RMC 4-3-050). The proposal is consistent with the Critical Areas Regulations, if all conditions
of approval are complied with:
Geologically Hazardous Areas: Based upon the results of a geotechnical report and/or
independent review, conditions of approval for developments may include buffers
and/or setbacks from buffers. A standard 15-foot building setback is required for all
structures from Protected Slope areas.
A 50-foot buffer and 15-foot building setback are required from Very High Landslide
Hazard Areas.

Staff Comment: The proposed WCF would be located within a High Seismic Hazard area.
A geotechnical report was waived as part of the land use submittal application.
However, a geotechnical report may be required as part of the building permit
submittal at the discretion of the Building Official.
18. Conditional Use Analysis: In lieu of the criteria normally evaluated for Conditional Use Permits, the
following criteria (RMC 4-9-030E) will be considered in determining whether to issue a Conditional Use
Permit for a wireless communication facility.
Compliance Conditional Use Analysis for Wireless Facilities
Compliant if
condition of
approval is
met
a. Height and Design of the Proposed Tower: The height of the proposed tower and/or
antenna as well as incorporation of design characteristics that have the effect of
reducing or eliminating visual obtrusiveness.
Staff Comment: The proposed location of the concealed WCF, on the rooftop of the
existing structure, creates no significant visual impact on the building or site as a whole.
All rooftop mounted equipment would be fully screened by RF-porous panels and
associated cabinet equipment would be located inside of the existing building. The three
enclosures would extend a maximum of eight (8’) feet above the existing parapet and
would not have a significant impact on the overall look of the building or site. The
existing building utilizes a number of both vertical and horizontal façade modulations.
Although visible from Park Ave N, the screening structures would not look out of place
due to the modulations and use of various materials on the existing building.
The applicant has proposed matching the aesthetic look of the enclosure walls with the
two façade materials utilized on the existing building. Detailed information on the
screening wall material and color was not provided to staff at the application submittal.
In order to ensure that enclosures adequately match the architectural and style of the
existing building, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant
provide detailed information on the screening color and materials to the Current
Planning Project Manager for review and approval prior to building permit issuance.
b. Proximity of The Tower to Residential Structures And Residential District
Boundaries: The nature of uses on adjacent and nearby properties and the proximity
of the tower and/or antenna to residential structures and residential district
boundaries.
Staff Comment: Existing residential uses are located in a mixed-use structure to the
north of the proposed project site across N 10th St (aka Sanctuary Apartments). The
proposed concealed WCF would be located approximately 250 feet (250’) from
southern façade of the Sanctuary Apartments building. The roofline of the building
where the WCF would be installed would largely obscure the equipment from
apartments on the lower floors of the buildings. While the upper floors may have a
visual line of sight to the proposed antennas, the WCF equipment would not look
substantially different than the various other rooftop HVAC and communications
systems located on other rooftops in the vicinity. Therefore, the WCF would not have a
negative impact on any residential uses in the nearby area.
c. Nature of Uses On Adjacent and Nearby Properties: The nature of uses on adjacent
and nearby properties. The proposed use at the proposed location shall not result in
substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property.
Staff Comment: The proposed WCF is located in a predominantly commercial area with
DocuSign Envelope ID: 35C81E54-0D45-4462-9C1B-CC146B4BA065

D_CUP_Administrative_Report_180501
variety of building scales and architectural styles. The presence of two (2) screened
rooftop WCF enclosures that are visually comparable to other rooftop-mounted
equipment on adjacent structures would not result in adverse effects on any adjacent
properties.
d. Topography and Vegetation: The surrounding topography and tree canopy
coverage.
Staff Comment: No clearing or grading is proposed as a result of this project. There are
existing significant trees located on the project site that would not be affected as a
result of the proposed project.
e. Ingress/Egress: Vehicular access to the project site would be provided via an
existing driveway off of Maple Valley Hwy and through the existing parking lot on the
site. No changes are proposed to the existing vehicular access to the project site.
f. Impacts: The potential noise, light, glare, and visual impacts.
Staff Comment: The impacts of light, glare, and noise are not anticipated to be above
what would be permitted in the UC zone. See FOF 16 for additional analysis.
Compliant if
condition of
approval is
met
g. Colocation Feasibility: The availability of suitable existing towers and other
structures to accommodate the proposal.
Staff Comment: The applicant submitted satisfactory evidence that no existing tower
or support structure can accommodate the proposed equipment relocation. A lack of
existing towers in the Renton downtown and Landing area have led to a number of new
proposals from Verizon and other providers for new WCFs in the area. Due to the
existing zoning in the downtown area, monopoles are generally not feasible and
therefore colocation is not easily accomplished. However, in order to ensure that future
proposals from other providers or an expansion of the subject facility by Verizon has
enough space to locate on the subject rooftop, the layout of the three proposed
enclosures should ensure that the installation of additional equipment is feasible.
Therefore staff recommends as a condition of approval that the design and location of
the rooftop WCF enclosure allow for additional equipment colocation in the future
unless determined infeasible by the Current Planning Project Manager at the time of
building permit application. The analysis should be provided with the building permit
application and should identify either the location for additional equipment or a
determination of colocation infeasibility.
j. Consistency With Plans And Regulations: The compatibility with the general
purpose, goals, objectives and standards of the Comprehensive Plan, this Title, and any
other City plan, program, map or ordinance.
Staff Comment: As previously discussed above under FOF 15 and 16 the proposed
installation of the proposed concealed WCF is consistent with the City’s adopted
Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and RMC 4-4-140 Wireless Communication
Facilities regulations provided the conditions of approval is complied with.
k. Landscaping: Additional landscaping may be required to buffer adjacent properties
from potentially adverse effects of the proposed use.
Staff Comment: All cabinet equipment would be installed inside of the building and
would not require landscape screening.
