ENVIRONMENTAL (SEPA) DETERMINATION
OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE (DNS)
Project File Numbers: PR26-000002/LUA26-000117, ECF
Project Name: Docket 20 Group D (D-248: Large Site Master Plans and Development
Agreements; D-249: Planned Urban Development (PUD) Regulations – Open
Space) and Docket 21 Group A (D-250 Affordable Housing Waived Fees)
Applicant/Contact: Gina Estep, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057, gestep@rentonwa.gov
Project Location: Citywide
Project Description: The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review for the following non-project
items:
Docket 20 Group D, D248: Large Site Master Plans and Development Agreements
Development regulations specific for large scale developments that are phased over a longer planning
horizon are not anticipated in the city’s current entitlement process. Consider text amendments to the
existing master plan regulations for large site large scale projects, add specific provisions for development
agreements that provide, and add flexibility to the development standards in either of these processes similar
to a Planned Urban Development entitlement.
Docket 20 Group D, D249: Planned Urban Development (PUD) Regulations – Open Space
Look at additional opportunities to provide private open space for upper story residential units that is not
limited to balconies.
Docket 21 Group A, D250: Affordable Housing Waived Fees
Staff would like to review eligibility criteria for waived fees in general, but also specifically the minimum number
of units to qualify and affordability levels. Currently, in order for affordable owner-occupied housing to qualify
for waived fees the project must consist of at least 10 units. For the project overall, at least 50% of the units
must be affordable to households that make 80% or less Area Median Income (AMI). The other 50% of the units
must be affordable to households that make 120% AMI. The units that are at 80% must be affordable in
perpetuity. For affordable rental projects, there must be at least 8 units if it is in the R-1, R-4, R-6, R-8, R-10, R-
14, or RMF zones. For projects in the CN, CA, CV, CD, or CO zone the minimum number of units for eligibility is
30. The income level for the rental housing must be affordable to residents who make 60% or below AMI.
