Pursuant to WAC 197-11-600(4)(c) and WAC 197-11-625
Addendum to the Weatherly Inn Assisted Living and Memory Care
Determination of Non-Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M)
Date of Addendum: April 1, 2019
Date of Initial Threshold Determination: June 11, 2018
Applicant: Frank Durocher, RJ Development, 401 Central St
SE, Olympia, WA 98501
File Numbers: LUA18-000011; LUA19-000038
Project Name: Weatherly Inn Assisted Living and Memory Care
Location: 45XX Talbot Rd S APNs 312305-9067 and
312305-9014
Lead Agency: City of Renton, Department of Community and
Economic Development
Review Process: Addendum to previously issued Determination
of Non-Significance – Mitigated (DNS-M)
Proposal / Purpose of Addendum: The applicant has submitted a site plan modification
request for the Weatherly Inn Assisted Living and Memory Care facility that would be located at
45XX Talbot Rd S (APNs 312305-9067 and 312305-9094) near the intersection of S 45th Pl and
Talbot Rd S. The applicant received Hearing Examiner site plan approval for the facility on
August 15, 2018. Previous to the site plan decision, the Environmental Review Committee
issued a DNS-M on June 11, 2018 that included three (3) mitigation measures related to
compliance with geotechnical recommendations and onsite skilled nursing staff.
The DNS-M and approved site plan included the development of a vacant 4.62 acre property
into a 116 unit assisted living facility with 30 memory care beds. The building would be three
and four stories with a one-story outbuilding (carriage house) to provide additional indoor
amenity space. A surface parking lot would accommodate 132 vehicles and access to the site
would be via a new driveway closely aligned with S 45th Pl. The applicant would provide

frontage improvements along the east side of Talbot Rd. S and a center turn lane. The site plan
decision also included modification approval to construct retaining walls up to 9.5 feet with
terrace widths of approximately 6-feet along the southern portion of the site and a single tier
wall up to 10.5 feet along a northern portion of the site.
The applicant has submitted a site plan modification request that would provide seven (7)
additional assisted living units and three (3) additional memory care beds for a total of 123
assisted living units and 33 memory care beds. These additional units and beds are proposed to
be provided by reconfiguring the existing floor plan that was shown in the site plan review
application and with an approximate 100 square foot addition to the southwest corner of the
proposed building. The applicant has proposed to add eight (8) additional surface parking
spaces for the new assisted living units and memory care beds. In addition to the increase in
units/beds and parking spaces, the applicant has proposed to remove the proposed 2,400
square foot carriage house amenity building and relocate the garbage enclosure approximately
75-feet south from the initial approved location identified in the site plan decision. The
applicant’s site plan modification request also included an updated cover letter to the Traffic
Impact Analysis that was prepared for the initial proposal. The letter indicates the proposed
modification does not change the results of the analysis prepared for the approved site plan
and no additional transportation impacts would occur with the seven (7) new assisted living
units and three (3) additional memory care beds.
Analysis: It has been determined that the environmental impacts of the proposal were
adequately addressed under the analysis contained within the project’s issued DNS-M. Based
on WAC 197-11-600(4)c, the addendum process may be used if analysis or information is added
that does not substantially change the analysis of significant impacts and alternatives in the
existing environmental document.
This Addendum is appropriate because it contains only minor information not included in the
DNS-M and there are no environmental impacts related to inclusion of the new information.
The proposed site plan modification would not change the analysis or impacts in the initial SEPA
Review, therefore an Addendum to the DNS-M may be issued pursuant to WAC 197-11-625.
DECISION: The City of Renton is hereby issuing a SEPA Addendum pursuant to WAC 197-11-600
to addend the Weatherly Inn project to provide seven (7) additional assisted living units, three
(3) additional memory care beds and associated parking.
Additional Information: If you would like additional information, please contact Matt Herrera,
Senior Planner, City of Renton Planning Division, Department of Community & Economic
Development at (425) 430-6593. There is no comment period for this Addendum, dated April 1,
2019 issued by the City of Renton Environmental Review Committee
