Below is a summary of the existing fire hydrants in the vicinity of the site. Installation of
additional fire hydrants and/or modification of existing fire hydrants maybe required by
the Renton Regional Fire Authority (RRFA) to meet development standards.

TO: Pre -Application File No. 18-000192
FROM: Jill Ding, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: 38th Street Short Plat, 1825 NE 38th St
General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre -application for the above -
referenced development proposal. The following comments on development and permitting
Issues are based on the pre -application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant
and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is cautioned that information
contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official
decision -makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Community & Economic Development Administrator,
Public Works Administrator, Planning Director, Development Services Director, and City
Council). Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other
design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to
review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The Development Regulations are
available for purchase for $50.00 plus tax, from the Finance Division on the first floor of City Hall
or online at www.rentonwa cov
Project Proposal: The subject property is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of
NE 38th St and Lincoln Ave NE and is addressed as 1825 NE 381h St (parcel no. 3345700220). The
proposal is to remove an existing single family residence and subdivide the project site into 8-9
lots for the future construction of single family residences. The applicant provided 3 potential
layouts with their pre -application submittal items. The subject property totals 63,448 square
feet (1.46 acres) in area, and is zoned Residential -8 (R-8). Access to the proposed lots would be
provided via a combination of Individual driveway access off of Lincoln Ave NE and NE 38th St
and via shared driveways. Protected and sensitive slopes, erosion hazard areas, and a moderate
landslide hazard area.
Current Use: The site contains an existing single family residence, which is proposed to be
removed.
Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property is zoned Residential -8 (R-8), the density
range allowed in the R-8 zone is a minimumfq`4.0 to. amaximum of 8.0 dwelling units per acre
(du/ac). The area located within dedicated right-of-way, private access easements/tracts, and
critical areas would be deducted from the gross site area to determine the "net" site area prior
to calculating density. Information regarding the area of the proposed shared driveway was not
included with the submitted pre -application materials; therefore staff was unable to calculate
net density. Based on a gross site area of 63,448 sq. ft. or 1.46 gross acres, the proposal for 9
lots on t ofe site would result in a gross density of 6.16 dwelling units per acre (9 lots/1.46
acres = 16 du/a ,which is within the derLSity ranua permitted in the R-8 zone. A densky

worksheet demonstrating that the proposal complies with net density would be required at
the time of formal land use application.
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, "Development
Standards for Single Family Zoning Designations" effective at the time of complete application
(noted as "R-8 standards" herein).
Minimum Lot Size Width and Depth—The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone, is 5,000
square feet for parcels being subdivided. For short plats of parcels smaller than one acre, one lot
may be allowed to be 4,500 square feet in area provided all other lots meet the 5,000 square
foot minimum lot area. Minimum lot width is 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet for corner lots; ,
minimum lot depth is 80 feet. Compliance with the minimum ot-2s+e,wwidth, and depth
Milililmmmil eve d at the time of formal land use application.
Building Standards — The R-8 standards allow a maximum building coverage of 50% of the lot
area. Accessory structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. Theproposal's
compliance with the building standards would be verified at the time of building permit
review.
Building Height — The maximum wall plate height is 4 feetand tories. Roofs with a pitch
equal to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six (6) vertical feet from the maximum
wall plate height; common rooftop features, such as chimneys, may project an additional four
(4) vertical feet from the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical projections (e.g., decks, railings, etc.)
shall not extend above the maximum wall plate height unless the projection is stepped back
one -and -a -half (1.5) horizontal feet from each fazade for each one (I) vertical foot above the
maximum wall plate height. Building height would be verified at the time of building permit
review.
Setbacks— Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the
property line. The required setbacks for the R-8 zone are:
Front yard: 20 feet for the primary structure.
Rear yard: 20 feet.
Side yards: 5 feet.
Secondary front yard: 15 feet
setbacks for the new residences would be verified at the time of building permit review.
Building Design Standards — The proposed structure would be subject to the Residential Design
Standards outlined in RMC 4-2-115. The proposal's compliance with the residential design
standards would be verified at the time of building permit review.
\A�ccess/Parking: Access to some of the proposed lots would be provided via a 20 -foot wide
2hared driveway off of NE 380 St. Shared driveways may be allowed for access to four 4 or
fewer residential lots, provided:
a. At least one of the four (4) lots abuts a public right-of-wayand the sitrreeet frontage the lot is
equal to or greater than the lot width requirement of the zone;
b. The subject lots are not created by a subdivision of ten (10) or more lots;
c. A public street is not anticipated by the City of Renton to be necessary for existing or future
traffic and/or pedestrian circulation through the short subdivision or to serve adjacent property;

In additiorutosetaining 30 percentofexisting- signiRealnrees, each new lot would be required
to provide a minimurp Veedensity of 2 trees per 5,000 square feet of lot area onsite. Protected
trees that do not contribute to -a lot's required minimum tree density shall be held in
perpetuity within a tree protection tract.
Significant trees shall be retained in the following priority order:
Priority One: Landmark trees; significant trees that form a continuous canopy; significant trees
on slopes greater than twenty percent (20%); Significant trees adjacent to critical areas and their
associated buffers; and Significant trees over sixty feet (60') in height or greater than eighteen
inches ( 18") caliper.
Priority Two: Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be preserved; other
significant native evergreen or deciduous trees; and other significant non- native trees.
Priority Three: Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other trees have been
evaluated for retention and are not able to be retained, unless the alders and/ or cottonwoods
are used as part of an approved enhancement project within a critical area or its buffer.
The Administrator may require independent review of any land use application that involves
tree removal and land clearing at the City's discretion. Aformal tree retention plan would be
reviewed at the time of Short Plat application.
Critical Areas: Protected and sensitive slopes, high erosion hazards, and a moderate landslide
hazard area are mapped on the project site.
Due to the presence of geological hazards on the site a geotechnical report shall be provided by
a qualified professional. The study shall demonstrate that the proposal will not increase the
threat of the geological hazard to adjacent properties beyond the pre -development conditions,
