This office has reviewed your April 15, 2026 request for a one-year extension of the approved land
use decision for the VEK on Aberdeen Townhomes Plat project (File No. LUA19-000280) located at
957 Aberdeen Ave NE (APN 3119900066).The project was originally approved on May 22, 2021, and
was scheduled to expire on May 22, 2026.
Pursuant to RMC 4-7-080L, a single one-year extension may be granted if a written request is filed
at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date. Based on our review, your request satisfies all
requirements of the Renton Municipal Code and qualifies for a one-time (1-time), one-year (1-year)
extension.
The extension request was submitted at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration and approval is
based on timely filing and evidence of continued progress toward project completion, as evidenced
by the following permit activity:
• Civil Construction Permit (C25001302): Approved on March 26, 2026.
• Demolition Permit (B26001464): Issued on April 8, 2026.

• Building Permits (B26000197 & B26000199): Submitted for review on January 14, 2026.
Therefore, your request for a one-year short plat extension is hereby approved.
The one-year extension is measured from the existing expiration date. All work necessary to
maintain the validity of the approval must be completed by the new expiration date of May 22, 2027.

for a further extension: 1) A written request must be filed with the Hearing Examiner and the
Administrator; 2) The request must be submitted at least thirty (30) days prior to the new expiration
date; and 3) Documentation must be provided justifying the need based on the criteria above.
