NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PROPOSED DETERMINATION OF
NON-SIGNIFICANCE-MITIGATED (DNS-M)
A Master Application has been filed and accepted with the Department of Community & Economic Development
(CED) – Planning Division of the City of Renton. The following briefly describes the application and the necessary
Public Approvals.
DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: May 31, 2017
LAND USE NUMBER: LUA17-000324, ECF, MOD, MOD, MOD
PROJECT NAME: U.S. Bank Expansion
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Environmental Review, an Urban Design Modification,
a Street Modification, and a Minor Modification to an approved Site Plan for a proposed 2,673 square foot addition to the
existing 28,065 square foot building located at 2500 E Valley Rd (Parcel number 3023059103). The subject site is 3.07 acres
(134,074 sf) and is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA). The building is currently used as administrative offices for US Bank.
The expansion would enlarge the building’s footprint from 28,065 square feet to 30,738 square feet. Existing access is
gained via East Valley Road. The proposed development would include two enclosed truck bays, removal of parking stalls,
and a new landscape planter strips along the sides of the building expansion. Seismic hazards are mapped on the project
site. A Category III wetland is mapped off-site within 50 feet of the property. The applicant has requested and received an
administrative determination that the project is exempt from the required wetland buffer setbacks, due to the existing
separation from the wetland by pre-existing, intervening, and lawfully created substantial existing improvements, per
RMC 4-3-050B.1.g.
PROJECT LOCATION: 2500 East Valley Road
OPTIONAL DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE, MITIGATED (DNS-M): As the Lead Agency, the City of Renton has
determined that significant environmental impacts are unlikely to result from the proposed project. Therefore, as
permitted under the RCW 43.21C.110, the City of Renton is using the Optional DNS-M process to give notice that a DNS-
M is likely to be issued. Comment periods for the project and the proposed DNS-M are integrated into a single comment
period. There will be no comment period following the issuance of the Threshold Determination of Non-Significance-
Mitigated (DNS-M). This may be the only opportunity to comment on the environmental impacts of the proposal. A 14-
day appeal period will follow the issuance of the DNS-M.
