City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Chick-fil-A Restaurant Staff Report to the Environmental Review Committee LUA18-000619, ECF, SA-A, MOD, MOD Report of February 4, 2019 Page 2 of 9 SR_ERC_Chickfila_190204 PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND The existing property contains a vacant 5,049 square foot building (former Diamond Lil’s Casino) located on the northern portion of the property that abuts the Firestone automotive building located at 351 Rainier Ave S (Exhibit 2). The site contains a surface parking area and vacant unimproved area containing grasses and erosion control planting. Existing access to the subject property is provided via a right in/right out driveway located on Rainier Ave S (Principal Arterial) approximately 170 linear feet north of the intersection centerline of S. 3rd Pl/Renton Center Way SW and Rainier Ave S. Additional access is located (and granted by easement via Fred Meyer Short Plat File LUA16-000254) along the southern portion of the property abutting Renton Center Way SW (private street) and at the western portion of the property into the Renton Village Shopping Center. Frontage improvements consisting of a new 8-foot wide sidewalk, 6-foot wide planter strip, street lights, and drainage conveyance was recently constructed as part of a corridor capital improvement project by the City. The land use designation and zoning classification for the subject property and surrounding vicinity is Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) and Commercial Arterial (CA), respectively. Fast food restaurants are permitted in the CA zone and drive through services are permitted as an accessory provided it is located on the same lot with another building/use; or it is structurally integrated into another building/use; or it is located on its own lot with some amount of indoor customer seating to qualify the drive-through as “accessory” to the eating/drinking establishment. The applicant is requesting Environmental Review, Administrative Site Plan Review, and one Modification to the City’s parking regulations to construct an approximate 4,000 square foot fast food restaurant with an accessory drive- through service window located on three parcels (APNs 000720-0149, -0151, and -0215) at 361 Rainier Ave S (Exhibit 3). The former Diamond Lil’s building located on the northern portion of the subject property would be removed as part of the proposal. The applicant’s proposal would include the new fast food restaurant building located near the southeast corner of the property with a drive through window and lane on the north side of the building. Street frontage landscaping approximately 17 feet in width would be located along the Rainier Ave S frontage and internal parking lot landscaping would be provided in islands and bulbs interior to the project (Exhibit 4). The applicant has proposed to retain one (1) of the site’s five (5) significant trees located on the southwest corner of the subject property (Exhibits 5 and 6). The applicant has proposed to relocate the existing driveway along Rainier Ave S to the northern edge of the property approximately 3 feet from the property line (Exhibit 7). The southern access point along Renton Center Way SW would be closed and replaced with a pedestrian pathway parallel to the southern property line. The existing vehicle access point at the southwest corner of the property would remain. The applicant proposes 42 on-site surface parking spaces and five (5) off-site compact spaces located on the abutting shopping center property. The applicant has requested a modification to the maximum parking regulations for sit down/drive through restaurants (RMC 4-4-080F.10.d) that limits parking spaces to one (1) space per 75 square feet of dining area. The applicant has proposed 1,384 square feet of dining area thereby limiting parking to 18 spaces (1,384sf/75sf=18 spaces). The applicant would construct flow control and water quality treatment to mitigate stormwater impacts associated with the proposal. The applicant has proposed a bioretention and oil/water separator with modular wetland facility prior to releasing to the City’s stormwater system (Exhibits 8 and 9) within Rainier Ave S. The site is relatively flat, resulting in minimal site grading. On-site soils consist of a 10- to 12-foot layer of very loose silt and sand combined with a high water table resulting in susceptibility to liquefaction during an earthquake (Exhibit 11). The City’s COR mapping system has also indicated this site is within a potential High Seismic Hazard Area.

Environmental Impacts The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable impacts: 1. Earth Impacts: The subject property is relatively flat with a 3-foot drop in elevation over approximately 300 linear feet from the northeast corner of the site to southwest corner. COR maps has identified the site is within a High Seismic Hazard Area. Subsurface reconnaissance and assessment was conducted by the applicant’s geotechnical engineer and summarized in the submitted geotechnical report prepared by Terracon, dated June 21, 2018 (Exhibit 11). Eight (8) subsurface borings were conducted on the site with a maximum depth of 51.5 feet. Findings from the borings identify pavement up to 1 foot in depth, up to 2 feet of fill consisting of silty gravel and sand, and alluvial deposits consisting of silt and sand with loose to very loose consistency. Groundwater was encountered at 8 and 12 feet in borings located near the intersection of Rainer Ave S and Renton Center Way SW and near the southeast corner of the location of the proposed building. City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Chick-fil-A Restaurant Staff Report to the Environmental Review Committee LUA18-000619, ECF, SA-A, MOD, MOD Report of February 4, 2019 Page 5 of 9 SR_ERC_Chickfila_190204 The Geotechnical Report confirmed the COR map identification of a High Seismic Hazard potential as the analysis indicated the site’s geology and subsurface groundwater conditions result in a high risk of liquefaction during a design level earthquake which is most likely to trigger between eight (8) and 20 feet below the ground surface. As the site is relatively flat, the analysis concluded the risk of lateral spreading is low and can be mitigated with seismic ties between footings or grade beams between pile caps. Vertical settlements modeled by the geotechnical engineer found estimates of between 4 and 16 inches of liquefaction-induced settlement of the ground surface based on their understanding of the regional geology and alluvial deposits of the site. In order to mitigate the potential for liquefaction-induced settlement, the geotechnical engineer has recommended the use of a shallow foundation combined with a ground improvement such as aggregate piers or a structural floor slab supported on small diameter (pin) piles. Any ground improvement method would likely need to extend approximately 20 feet below the surface where dense to medium sandy gravels form the bearing stratum to support the improvement. If pin piles are used, it is likely they will need to reach between 25 and 30 feet below the surface to be effective. Due to the report’s confirmation of the liquefaction potential for the site and recommendations for mitigating its effects during an earthquake, staff recommends, as a mitigation measure, the applicant comply with the recommendations of the geotechnical report, prepared by Terracon Consultant dated June 21, 2018 and future addenda. As the geotechnical report was prepared prior to the final design of the project, staff recommends as a mitigation measure, the applicant’s geotechnical engineer review the project’s construction and building permit plans to verify compliance with the geotechnical report(s). The geotechnical engineer shall submit a sealed letter stating that he/she has reviewed the construction and building permit plans and in their opinion the plans and specifications meet the intent of the report(s). Mitigation Measures: a. The project shall comply with the recommendations of the geotechnical report, prepared by Terracon Consultants, dated June 21, 2018, and any updated report(s) associated with the building and construction permits to ensure compliance with the intent of the initial report. . b. The applicant’s geotechnical engineer shall review the project’s construction and building permit plans to verify compliance with the geotechnical report(s). The geotechnical engineer shall submit a sealed letter stating that he/she has reviewed the construction and building permit plans and in their opinion the plans and specifications meet the intent of the report(s). Nexus: City of Renton Comprehensive Plan Policy L-37, RMC 4-3-050 Critical Areas Regulations 2. Air Impacts: It is anticipated that some temporary air quality impacts could be associated with site work and building construction required to develop this site. Project development impacts during construction may include dust as a result of grading and exhaust from construction vehicles and equipment. Dust control would be mitigated through the use of temporary erosion control measures, watering or other measures to remediate impacts as needed (Exhibit 12). Long term emissions from vehicles and vapors from the Type I hood required for the kitchen would occur following construction. No further site specific mitigation for the identified impacts from typical vehicle and construction exhaust or cooking emissions is required. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. 3. Water a. Ground Water City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Chick-fil-A Restaurant Staff Report to the Environmental Review Committee LUA18-000619, ECF, SA-A, MOD, MOD Report of February 4, 2019 Page 6 of 9 SR_ERC_Chickfila_190204 Impacts: The COR mapping system has identified the property is located in a Wellhead Protection Five (5) Year Capture Zone due to its proximity to the City’s source of drinking water. The site’s proposed restaurant use is not indicative of a type of use that would potentially harm the City’s groundwater. However, any off-site fill materials shall be from a verifiable source in order to ensure it is clear of contaminants. The City’s grading and excavation regulations require imported fill in excess of 100 cubic yards within the Five (5) Year Capture Zone have a source statement certified by a qualified professional or confirm the fill was obtained from a WSDOT approved source. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. b. Storm Water Impacts: The applicant submitted a Technical Information Report (TIR) prepared by Barghausen Consulting Engineers dated August 16, 2018 (Exhibit 8) with the land use application. The report analyzes existing conditions and proposed surface water collection and distribution. The site is within the Black River drainage basin and Peak Rate Flow Control Standard (Existing Site Conditions). The existing stormwater infrastructure on the subject property consists of two (2) catch basins collecting flows with pipes connecting to the existing public system located in Rainier Ave S. There appears to be no flow control or water quality features on the site. To mitigate stormwater impacts from the new restaurant, the applicant proposes to utilize a series of catch basins and pipes within the parking lot to convey stormwater to an oil/water separator and then through a modular wetland treatment device prior to release into the City’s system in Rainier Ave S. Stormwater generated from the building’s roof and pedestrian areas are proposed to be conveyed to a bioretention basin. The TIR anticipates the proposed infrastructure improvements will have the capacity to convey the 25-year peak flow without overtopping the catch basins. The proposal is subject to Full Drainage Review in accordance with the 2017 Renton Surface Water Design Manual (RSWDM). It is anticipated that design requirements within the manual will adequately mitigate stormwater impacts and no further mitigation is needed. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation is recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. 4. Vegetation Impacts: Most of the property is covered with impervious surfaces with the exception of an area containing erosion control grasses in the south central portion of the property and five (5) significant trees with several low lying shrubs and groundcover located on the southern perimeter. The significant trees are Red Maples (Acer rubrum) with DBHs ranging between approximately 8 inches and 21 inches. The arborist report (Exhibit 5) has indicated that all the trees are viable and in generally good to excellent health. Structure for the trees are noted as fair with minor visible problems. The applicant proposes to remove four (4) of the five (5) significant trees resulting in a 20 percent (20%) significant tree retention rate. RMC 4-4-130H.1.a.iii requires a minimum of 10 percent (10%) of the significant trees be protected and retained in commercial developments. However, the purpose statement of the tree retention regulations make clear that minimizing indiscriminate removal and promoting land development practices that result in minimal adverse disturbances to existing vegetation are paramount to the City’s tree preservation policies. Staff will identify the potential for retaining additional trees as a component of the administrative site plan review decision. As shown on the submitted landscape plan (Exhibit 4), the applicant would provide street frontage landscaping along Rainier Ave S consisting of seven (7) Pacific Sunset Maples and three (3) Shademaster Locusts with eight (8) varieties of shrubs and groundcover. Internal lot landscaping includes Standard Arbutus and Shademaster Locusts located in landscape islands with shrubs and ground cover.

Staff will identify whether the proposed plantings meet the City’s landscape regulations and recommend conditions of approval (if needed) with the site plan review decision. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. 5. Aesthetics Impacts: The proposed building would be a single-story with parapet-type walls extending above the roof line to approximately 22 feet above grade at its highest point (Exhibits 13 and 14). Exterior cladding includes a brick façade along the ground level with stucco along the building’s upper story topped with prefinished metal coping. The drive through window, outdoor dining areas, and entrances are topped with metal awnings at various depths. Expansive glazing is provided on the south elevation with limited fenestration provided on remaining facades. The applicant would be required to comply with the City’s Urban Design Regulations for overlay District ‘D’ as a component of the site plan review application. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. 6. Historic and Cultural Preservation Impacts: According to the Washington Information System for Architectural and Archaeological Records Data (WISAARD) mapping database accessed by City staff on October 16, 2018, the subject property is located near the eastern banks of the former alignment of the Black River and approximately 1,000 feet north of an Indian Site. On October 3, 2018, the City received a letter from the Washington State Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) (Exhibit 15) recommending professional archeological monitoring during all ground-disturbing activities and to allow Concerned Tribes be provided the opportunity to have a tribal monitor on-site. Additionally, DAHP has recommended that an Inadvertent Discoveries Plan be prepared prior to construction that would provide direction should artifacts be encountered during development of the site. According to the DAHP letter it is typical for an archeological survey to be completed prior to construction. However, the site is nearly completely hardscaped, therefore not conducive to a survey prior to ground disturbing work. Due to the proximity to archeological sites near the project area and the recommendation from DAHP, staff recommends , as a mitigation measure, the applicant submit an Inadvertent Discoveries Plan prepared by a qualified professional with the civil construction permit application for review and approval by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to permit issuance. Due to the high probability of encountering archeological remains on the subject property, staff recommends, as a mitigation measure, the applicant provide a professional archeologist on-site to monitor all ground disturbing activities and provide the opportunity for Concerned Tribes to have a tribal monitor on-site. Ground disturbing activities include but are not limited to geotechnical testing, concrete removal, utility removal and replacement, and building excavation. The archeologist shall prepare a monitoring report to be submitted to the Current Planning Project Manager and DAHP prior to Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. Mitigation Measures: a. The applicant shall submit an Inadvertent Discoveries Plan prepared by a qualified professional with the civil construction permit for review and approval by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to permit issuance. b. The applicant shall provide a professional archeologist on-site to monitor all ground disturbing activities and provide the opportunity for Concerned Tribes to have a tribal monitor on-site.

Transportation Impacts: The subject property abuts Rainier Ave S along the east property line and Renton Center Way SW (a private street associated with Renton Center Shopping Center) along the southern property line. Rainier Ave S is a principal arterial that was recently updated with new frontage improvements as part of a corridor capital project funded by the City, therefore no frontage improvements or dedication would be required. Access from the subject property to Renton Center Way SW and to the shopping center is identified in the Fred Meyer Short Plat (File LUA16-000254) recorded with King County Recorder’s Office December 12, 2016. The applicant submitted a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by Transportation Engineering Northwest, dated February 1, 2019 (Exhibit 16). The proposal is estimated to generate 988 new weekday trips with 86 new trips occurring during the weekday AM peak hour (44 entering, 22 exiting) and 68 new trips occurring during the weekday PM peak hour (35 entering, 33 exiting). Following completion of the project, the signalized intersection at Rainer Ave S and S 3rd Pl is expected to operate at a Level of Service (LOS) of C or better and site access at the proposed right in/right out driveway along Rainier Ave S is expected to operate at LOS B or better. Projected queues (95th Percentile) at the driveway location are anticipated to be less than 25 feet during AM and PM peak hours. The City received one (1) public comment letter on September 22, 2018 from Curt Kruse (Exhibit 17) owner of the abutting parcel to the north (351 Rainier Ave S) that Mr. Kruse currently leases to a Firestone vehicle service facility. The letter expresses concern related to potential queuing from the proposed restaurant onto Rainier Ave S that would impact his tenant’s customers’ ability to access their entrance which would result in a financial loss. The Renton Police Department has reviewed the proposed site plan and TIA. Additionally, the department had discussions with their counterparts in the cities of Bellevue, Covington, and Federal Way. In these discussions, the Renton Police Department found that all three (3) cities had experienced long lasting traffic impacts on city streets and police services that were atypical to any other grand opening of a fast food restaurant (Exhibit 19). The Chick-fil-A brand is relatively new to the Puget Sound region and the popularity of the restaurant in several of the nearby cities where they have located has resulted in vehicle queues that extend off-site and into abutting streets. Due to these concerns, the applicant attended a meeting with City staff that included the Renton Police Department Traffic Commander and Sergeant on November 14, 2018 to discuss the Traffic and Parking Management Plan component of the originally submitted TIA and concerns the City had regarding potential impacts to Rainier Ave S. It was determined that a menu of mitigation measures were needed to ensure queues onto Rainier Ave S would not occur and were subsequently incorporated into the revised TIA (Exhibit 16). Those items include weekly coordination meetings to evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation measures and determine appropriate off-duty police staffing levels, off-duty police staffing at the Rainier Ave S entrance and intersection of Rainier Ave S and S. 3rd Pl/Renton Center Way SW, and on-site Chick-fil-a staff positioned near the drive-through entrance and exit to keep vehicles moving and maintain clear path for pedestrians. It was also determined that ultimately the Renton Police Department Traffic Commander will assess the conditions on a regular basis and anytime traffic volumes are deemed a hazard or impact traffic on Rainier Ave S, revisions to the Traffic and Parking Management Plan may be made on an “as needed basis.” Due to the applicant’s acknowledgment of potential impacts caused by the restaurant’s popularity, information provided by nearby cities of impacts caused by recently opened Chick-fil-A restaurants, and City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Chick-fil-A Restaurant Staff Report to the Environmental Review Committee LUA18-000619, ECF, SA-A, MOD, MOD Report of February 4, 2019 Page 9 of 9 SR_ERC_Chickfila_190204 the November 14, 2018 meeting with the applicant and City staff, staff recommends as a mitigation measure the applicant comply with the Traffic and Parking Management Plan component of the Traffic Impact Analysis and any future addenda to the plan. Additionally, the initial weekly coordination meeting with the applicant and Renton Police Department shall be held prior to Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. The proposal has passed the City’s Traffic Concurrency Test per RMC 4-6-070.D (Exhibit 18), which is based upon a test of the citywide Transportation Plan, consideration of growth levels included in the LOS-tested Transportation Plan, and future payment of appropriate Transportation Impact Fees. Mitigation Measures: a. The applicant shall comply with the Revised Traffic and Parking Management Plan component of the Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by Transportation Engineering NorthWest dated February 1, 2019, and any updated report(s) associated with the plan’s monitoring element to ensure the restaurant’s vehicle queueing does not adversely impact Rainier Ave S. b. The initial weekly coordination meeting with the applicant and Renton Police Department shall occur prior to issuance of Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. Nexus: City of Renton Comprehensive Plan Goal T-A; RMC 4-4-080 Parking, Loading, and Driveway Regulations 8. Fire & Police Impacts: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicated that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed development; provided the applicant constructs Code-required improvements, pays associated impact fees, and implements transportation related mitigation as recommended by the Police Department (Exhibit 19). Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. E. Comments of Reviewing Departments The proposal has been circulated to City Department and Division Reviewers.

As a result of our review, our professional opinion is that the project area at 361 Rainier Ave S has the potential to contain archaeological resources. Further, the scale of the proposed ground disturbing actions would destroy any archaeological resources present. Therefore, we recommend a professional archaeologist monitor all ground disturbing activities that occur within the project area. We also recommend consultation with the concerned Tribes' cultural committees and staff regarding cultural resource issues. Although this property is currently land locked, early GLO maps of the south Lake Washington area show that the project area is located near the eastern bank of the Black River. The river was subsequently filled, but intact archaeological sites have been located to both the north and south of the project area beneath shallow fill, and some of these sites have been found to contain Native American human remains. Due to the high probability of this project encountering archaeological remains the DAHP recommends that a professional archaeologist monitor all ground disturbing activities within the project area including, but not limited to, geotechnical testing, concrete removal, utility removal and replacement, and building excavation. Prior to monitoring a robust Inadvertent Discoveries Plan (IDP) should be written and this plan should be adhered to during all ground disturbing activities. Concerned Tribes’ should also be provided the opportunity to have a tribal monitor on site. Identification during construction is not a recommended detection method because inadvertent discoveries can result in costly construction dela ys and damage to the resource. However, the majority of the project area is hardscaped and thus is not available for archaeological survey prior to ground disturbing work. These comments are based on the information available at the time of this review and on behalf of the SHPO in conformance with state law. Should additional information become available, our assessment may be revised. We appreciate receiving any correspondence or comments from concerned tribes or other parties concerning cultural resource issues that you receive.

We want to express our concern regarding the potential traffic effects of the proposed Chick-fil-A restaurant at 361 Rainier Ave S. in Renton, WA. The proposed building is immediately south of and next to our property at 351 Rainier Ave S. (Our property is leased to the Firestone/Bridgestone Corporation as a tire/auto repair business.) Chick-fil-A restaurants attract large volumes of automobile traffic, which tends to line-up and back-up on the street and block traffic. The Chick-fil-A restaurant at NE 8th and 116th street in Bellevue, WA is an example of this. Automobiles are often lined-up to enter the restaurant parking lot/drive-through well beyond the driveway entrance and block all other traffic in the right/southbound lane. If this line-up/back-up were to occur on southbound lane/lanes of Rainier Ave S. adjacent to our property it would restrict the entrance to our property and damage our tenant's business. This could result in financial loss for us and our long-term tenant. Please consider this and keep us informed as you work through the permitting process.

I will add this email to the project file and add you to the project’s party of record list. The applicant’s site plan (linked below) proposes a vehicle stacking lane that would accommodate 15 cars with additional capacity within the parking lot aisle lanes. The applicant’s Transportation Impact Analysis (also linked below) proposes to utilize a Police Officer to ensure vehicles do not back up into Rainier Ave S and restaurant staff to assist drivers leaving the restaurant. The City Environmental Review Committee will review these proposals for adequacy prior to issuing an environmental determination. Again thank you for your email and the City will consider your comments prior to issuing a land use decision.

Sincerely, Curt and Alexandra Kruse 3801 92nd Ave NE Bellevue, WA 98004 425-922-0828 (cell) 425-454-2552 (home) DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE: September 28, 2018 TO: Matt Herrera, Senior Planner FROM: Brianne Bannwarth, Development Engineering Manager SUBJECT: Traffic Concurrency Test – Chick-fil-A; LUA18-000619, ECF, CU-H The applicant is requesting Administrative Site Plan Review, Environmental Threshold Determination (SEPA), and one modification to the development regulations to construct a new 4,195 square foot fast food restaurant with two (2) vehicle drive through lane s and 42 surface parking spaces located at 361 Rainier Ave S. The existing building (formerly Diamond Lil’s Casino) would be removed. The subject property is comprised of three (3) lots totaling 0.96 acres and is located in the Commercial Mixed Use Comprehensive Plan land use designation and Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning classification. Vehicle access to the subject property would be provided on Rainier Ave S and within an existing easement with the abutting Renton Center Shopping Center. The applicant has requested a modification to the parking requirements to exceed the maximum number of allowed parking spaces. The proposed development would generate approximately 988 net new average weekday daily trips. During the weekday AM peak hour, the project would generate approximately 86 net new trips (44 inbound and 42 outbound). During the weekday PM peak hour, the project would generate approximately 68 net new trips (35 inbound and 33 outbound). The proposed project passes the City of Renton Traffic Concurrency Test per RMC 4-6-070.D as follows: Transportation Concurrency Test – Chick-fil-A Page 2 of 3 September 28, 2018 Traffic Concurrency Test Criteria Pass Implementation of citywide Transportation Plan Yes Within allowed growth levels Yes Project subject to transportation mitigation or impact fees Yes Site specific street improvements to be completed by project No Traffic Concurrency Test Passes Evaluation of Test Criteria Implementation of citywide Transportation Plan: The City’s investment in completion of the forecast traffic improvements is 130% of the scheduled expenditure through 2017. Within allowed growth levels: As shown on the attached citywide traffic concurrency summary, the calculated citywide trip capacity for concurrency with the city adopted model for 201 8 is 1,880 trips, which provides sufficient capacity to accommodate a reduction of 68 trips from this project. A resulting 1,812 trips are remaining. Project subject to transportation mitigation or impact fees: The project will be subject to transportation impact fees at time of building permit for the project. Site specific street improvements to be completed by project: The project will be required to complete all internal and frontage street improvements for the building prior to occupancy. Any additional off-site improvements identified through SEPA or land use approval will also be completed prior to final occupancy. Background Information on Traffic Concurrency Test for Renton The City of Renton Traffic Concurrency requirements for proposed development projects are covered under Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-6-070. The specific concurrency test requirement is covered in RMC 4-6-070.D, which is listed for reference: D. CONCURRENCY REVIEW PROCESS: 1. Test Required: A concurrency test shall be conducted by the Department for each nonexempt development activity. The concurrency test shall determine consistency with the adopted Citywide Level of Service Index and Concurrency Management System established in the Transportation Element of the Renton Comprehensive Plan, according to rules and procedures established by the Department. The Department shall issue an initial concurrency test result describing the outcome of the concurrency test. Transportation Concurrency Test – Chick-fil-A Page 3 of 3 September 28, 2018 2. Written Finding Required: Prior to approval of any nonexempt development activity permit application, a written finding of concurrency shall be made by the City as part of the development permit approval. The finding of concurrency shall be made by the decision maker with the authority to approve the accompanying development permits required for a development activity. A written finding of concurrency shall apply only to the specific land uses, densities, intensities, and development project described in the application and development permit. 3. Failure of Test: If no reconsideration is requested, or if upon reconsideration a project fails the concurrency test, the project application shall be denied by the decision maker with the authority to approve the accompanying development activity permit application. The Concurrency Management System established in the Transport ation Element on page XI-65 of the Comprehensive Plan states the following: Based upon the test of the citywide Transportation Plan, consideration of growth levels included in the LOS-tested Transportation Plan, payment of a Transportation Mitigation Fee, and an application of site specific mitigation, development will have met City of Renton concurrency requirements.

Estimated CFS Annually: 3 (does not include traffic impact) 2. Safety Concerns: The Renton Police Department has reviewed the revised Traffic and Parking Management Plan proposed by Chick-fil-A. The Police Department have considered the revised proposal from Chick-fil-A and acknowledge that they will defer to the Traffic Commander for expertise regarding traffic flow and safety measures for our community. As noted in their plan, as well as our suggestions, regular meetings will be scheduled to allow for open communication between management and the Police Department. These discussions will be held as needed to discuss any proposed changes to the traffic plan or extra officer staffing that may be required for the success of Chick-fil-A’s operation. Open discussions will also ensure that the safety of the public and consideration of impact to existing and surrounding businesses are a priority. a. Duration and strategy of traffic management plan will be at the discretion of the Traffic Commander. i. It is unknown at this time the true impact an opening of this type of restaurant will have on our city, surrounding business, and traffic on Rainier Ave S. Traffic Division will communicate with appropriated Chick-fil-A staff at reasonable intervals to evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation measures ensuring the efficient movement of traffic as well as efficient movement of customers from the roadway, onto private property, then exiting back out on to city streets. ii. Off-duty officers will be utilized to manage the appropriate mitigation measures. The purpose of off-duty police officers is to safely move the large volume of vehicles from the street, through the purchasing process, then back onto the street and away from the area with the least amount of disruption to the already congested area, the local businesses and of course the customers themselves. Off-duty staffing decisions will be based on that primary purpose. iii. The Traffic Commander will assess on a regular basis and at any time traffic volumes are deemed a hazard or impact traffic on Rainier Ave S in regards to safety, revisions to Chick-Fil-A’s plan above will be made on an “as needed” basis. This could include, at minimum, restricting access via Rainier Ave S. ADVISORY NOTES TO APPLICANT Page 3 of 3 LUA18-000619 iv. The required mitigation is fluid and unknown. A staffing review for modifications should be done every 30 days (or as needed) between the Renton Police Department and Chick-fil-A. b. An overflow area for drive-through traffic will need to be designated and is recommended a site abutting the Chick-fil-A property is utilized. i. The applicant has proposed 15-stalls for overflow customers and staff across Rainier Ave S. in the McLendon parking lot. This will add additional safety concerns as this will increase pedestrian flow across an already busy thoroughfare (Rainier Ave S). Be advised that an additional officer may need to be placed at this location and will be determined by the Traffic Commander.

There are 2 existing 1-inch water service lines to the property that end inside 2 water meter boxes, without the meters, located behind the sidewalk along Rainier Ave S. These service lines can be used for the new building if new 1-inch meters can be used. Based on the preliminary generalized utility plan (Sheet C.2) submitted with the land use application, the new 1.5-inch water service line and water meter along with the fire sprinkler stub to the new building will be connected to the existing 8-inch water line in Renton Center Way SW. The meter and backflow prevention assembly vault for the fire sprinkler system must be relocated to be within a planter strip and not under a parking stall as shown. The building fire department connection for the fire sprinkler system must be within 50 feet of a fire hydrant. 3. There are also 2 existing water meters north of Renton Center Way that will be within the new driveway and these meters must also be relocated to be within a planter strip. The water service lines from the back of the 2 meters to the existing building at 364 Renton Center Way will also need to be relocated due to conflict with the proposed utilities. 4. Installation of a fire sprinkler stub a with a detector double check valve assembly (DDCVA) for backflow prevention is required to each building. The fire sprinkler stub and related piping shall be done by a registered fire sprinkler designer/contractor. The DDCVA shall be installed on the private property in an outside underground vault per City standard plan no. 360.2.

The RPBA shall be installed inside an above-ground heated enclosure per City standard plan no. 350.2. The RPBA may be located inside the building if a drainage outlet for the relief valve is provided and the location is pre- approved by the City Plan Reviewer and City Water Utility Department. 8. Installation of a landscape irrigation meter and double check valve assembly (DCVA) is required, if applicable. 9. The development is subject to applicable water system development charges (SDC’s) and meter installation fees based on the number and size of the meters for domestic uses and for fire sprinkler use. The development is also subject to fees for water connections, cut and caps, and purity tests. Current fees can be found on the City’s website. Fees that are current will be charged at the time of construction permit issuance. 10. The development is subject to water system redevelopment fees based on the size of the existing meters and if the existing meters are abandoned. SEWER COMMENTS 1. The development is subject to a wastewater system development charge (SDC) fee. Typical fees are noted as follows: a. The SDC fee for wastewater is based on the size of the new domestic water to serve the project. The current sewer fee for a single 1-inch meter is $2,837.00 per side sewer, 1- 1/2 inch meter is $14,185.00 and a 2-inch meter is $22,696.00. b.

The fee that is current will be charged at the time of construction permit issuance. Chick-fil-A – LUA18-000619 Page 4 of 6 September 30, 2018 2. A preliminary Drainage Plan and Technical Information Report (TIR), dated August 16, 2018, was submitted by Barghausen Engineering with the Land Use Application. Based on the City of Renton’s flow control map, the site falls under Flow Control Duration Standards (Existing Peak Conditions) and is located within the Black River drainage basin. The development is subject to a Full Drainage Review in accordance with the 2017 Renton Surface Water Design Manual (RSWDM). All nine core requirements and the six special requirements have been discussed in the Technical Information Report. The detention, water quality and conveyance shall be designed in accordance with the RSWDM that is current at the time of the civil construction permit application. The applicant has proposed to connect to the City of Renton’s storm drainage system located within Rainier Ave. a. The development currently is showing that there is less than 0.15 CFS increase due to the proposed development and they are exempt from flow control. During the review of the final TIR the applicant will need to ensure that flow control standards are being met as outlined in the 2017 RSWDM. b. The applicant is proposing to use a modular wetland in order for the project to meet the water quality requirements. The modular wetland is proposed within the parking lot in the center of the lot prior to connecting into the City of Renton system located within Rainier Ave S. c. On-site BMPs satisfying Core Requirement #9 will be required for the site. On-site BMPs shall be evaluated in order of preference by feasibility as described in Section C.1.3 of the 2017 RSWDM. All targeted impervious area to the maximum extent feasible shall be conveyed to an On-site BMP. Applicant proposes to use bio retention facilities with underdrains in the planter strips along the onsite roadway. d.The following stormwater improvements are required and shall be discussed or revised within the TIR: i. All Core Requirements and Special Requirements must be evaluated within the TIR. ii. Feasibility of On-site BMPs must be based on the feasibility criteria established for the specific On-site BMPs noted in Appendix C of the 2017 RSWDM. A feasibility analysis of the On-site BMPs must be provided with the TIR. 1. The TIR notes that On-site BMPs shall be applied to 10% of the site with 65% impervious coverage. This statement only applies when infiltration and basic dispersion have been deemed infeasible or have been applied to the site to the maximum extent feasible and Reduced Impervious Surface Credit, Native Growth Retention Credit, and the Tree retention credit are being applied to the site. 2. Treatment Liners may be required for infiltration facilities within Aquifer Protection Zone 2 per RSWDM Section 1.3.6 (Special Requirement #6). 3. Bio-retention facilities with underdrains do not satisfy the requirements of Core Requirement #9 per RSWDM Section C.2.6.1 Note 5 and may not be used as On-site BMP Sizing Credit for Core Chick-fil-A – LUA18-000619 Page 5 of 6 September 30, 2018 Requirement #3 Flow Control facility sizing or exemption per RSWDM Section 1.2.9.4. 4. The On-site BMPs if sized per the LID Performance Standards must meet 8% of the 2-year peak flow up to the 50-year peak flow. The bio- retention sized in the TIR has been sized to meet 50% of the 2-year peak flow up to the 50-year peak flow. Revise the TIR accordingly if LID Performance Standards are being used. 3. A Geotechnical Report, dated June 21 th, 2018, completed by Terracon for the site has been provided. The submitted report describes multiple layers of soil characteristics. Approximately the first 1 to 2 feet contain imported fill. Below the surface there is approximately 10 to 12 feet of very loose silt and sand combination with a high water table that increase the susceptibility to static settlements and liquefactions in the event of an earthquake. a. The Geotechnical report recommends that all drainage facilities, including splash blocks, be located a minimum of 10 feet away from the building. b. Infiltration testing may be required in order to determine feasibility of the On-site BMPs required in order to meet Core Requirement #9 of the RSWDM. c. The TIR states that full infiltration is not recommended on site due to high groundwater elevation during the winter months. However, Groundwater was detected between 8’ and 12’ in borings collected on May 31st, 2018 per Geotechnical Report. Provide documentation from geotechnical engineer supporting the infeasibility of full infiltration for this reason. TRANSPORTATION/STREET COMMENTS 1. The 2018 transportation impact fee is $90.36 per square foot. A credit for the previous square footage will be issued for the existing building. Transportation Impact Fees for additional uses can be found on the City’s website. Transportation impact fees are due at the time of building permit issuance. 2. The proposed development fronts Rainier Ave S along the east property line(s). Rainier Ave S is classified as a Principal Arterial Road. Existing right-of-way (ROW) width is approximately 125 feet subject to final survey. To meet the City’s complete street standards for Principal Arterial streets, minimum ROW is 125 feet. No dedication will be required for this project. The frontage improvements have been constructed by the City’s Rainer Ave S corridor project and will not require the development to construct frontage improvements along Rainer Ave S. 3. Renton Center Way /South 3 rd Place (private access) is located on the south side of the proposed project. The project should obtain the access easement from the owners of Renton Center Way if the access easement is not already obtained. A copy of the recorded access easement should be provided with the land use application. 4.A traffic analysis dated August 13, 2018, was provided by TENW. The site generated traffic volumes were calculated using data from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition, (2017). Based on the calculations provided, the proposed development would average 988 new daily vehicle trips, accounting for pass-by trips. As discussed in the analysis presented in the report, the site would generate 68 new PM peak hour trips, accounting for pass-by and shared trips. As detailed in the report the proposed project is Chick-fil-A – LUA18-000619 Page 6 of 6 September 30, 2018 not expected to lower the levels of service of the surrounding intersections included in the traffic study. Increased traffic created by the development will be mitigated by payment of transportation impact fees. a. Applicant will need to ensure that there will not be a backup onto Rainier Ave S at any time. 5. Paving and trench restoration within the City of Renton right of way shall comply with the City’s Street Restoration and Overlay requirements. GENERAL COMMENTS 1. Retaining walls that are 4’ or taller from bottom of footing and stormwater detention vaults will require a separate building permit. Structural calculations and plans prepared by a licensed engineer will be required as part of the building permit review. 2. All civil plans shall conform to the current City of Renton survey and drafting standards. Current drafting standards can be found on the City of Renton website. 3. A separate plan submittal will be required for a construction permit for utility work and street improvements. All plans shall be prepared by a licensed Civil Engineer in the State of Washington. 4. Please see the City of Renton website for the Construction Permit Application and Construction Permit Process and Submittal Requirements. Please contact the City to schedule a construction permit intake meeting. 5. Beginning April 3, 2017, the City will transition to electronic plan review.
