LOCATION WHERE APPLICATION MAY BE REVIEWED:
Applicant documents are available online through the City of Renton Document Center website. See also http://bit.ly/2VNgwIL
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Environmental Review (SEPA) and approval of a 6-lot hillside subdivision at 1003 Renton Ave S LOT (APN 0007200196)
for the future development of 6 single-family houses and a stormwater vault. The 3.22 acre property is primarily forested and is located on the westerly edge of Renton Ave S, between
S 9th St and S 10th St within the Residential-8 dwelling units per acre (R-8) zone. The proposed lots of the short plat would range in size from 7,824 square feet (sf) in area to 9,996
sf. The remainder of the site would be divided between a 9,975 sf stormwater tract and ±79,712 sf critical areas tract. The residential density is roughly 4.3 dwelling units per net
acre. Access to the residential lots would be from Renton Ave S. Half-street frontage improvements would be completed along Renton Ave S. Slope gradients are generally 25 to 35 percent,
with steeper slopes bordering a series of east-west drainages that descend the slope to the west. The site contains regulated geological hazardous areas such as steep slopes, erosion,
landslide, seismic, and coal mine hazards. A majority of the trees within the heavily treed site would be retained. Tree removal would be primarily associated with the lots and stormwater
tract improvements. The applicant submitted a Geotechnical Report, Geotechnical Addendum, Technical Information Report, Arborist Report, Critical Areas Report, Wetland and Stream Reconnaissance
Review, and Offsite Wetland and Drainages Report.

OPTIONAL DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE, MITIGATED (DNS-M): As the Lead Agency, the City of Renton has determined that significant environmental impacts are unlikely to result from
the proposed project. Therefore, as permitted under the RCW 43.21C.110, the City of Renton is using the Optional DNS-M process to give notice that a DNS-M is likely to be issued. Comment
periods for the project and the proposed DNS-M are integrated into a single comment period. There will be no comment period following the issuance of the Threshold Determination of Non-Significance-Mitigated
(DNS-M). This may be the only opportunity to comment on the environmental impacts of the proposal. A 14-day appeal period will follow the issuance of the DNS-M.
PERMITS/REVIEW REQUESTED:
Environmental (SEPA) Review, Short Plat Approval
OTHER PERMITS WHICH MAY BE REQUIRED:
Construction Permit, Building Permit
REQUESTED STUDIES:
Geotechnical Report, Geotechnical Addendum, Technical Information Report, Arborist Report, Critical Areas Report, Wetland and Stream Reconnaissance Review, Offsite Wetland and Drainages
Report
CONSISTENCY OVERVIEW:
Zoning/Land Use:
The subject site is designated Residential Medium Density (RMD) on the City of Renton Comprehensive Land Use Map and Residential-8 (R-8) on the City’s Zoning Map.
Environmental Documents that Evaluate the Proposed Project:
Environmental (SEPA) Checklist
Development Regulations Used For Project Mitigation:
The project will be subject to the City’s SEPA ordinance, RMC 4-2-110A, 4-4, 4-6-060, and 4-7 and other applicable codes and regulations as appropriate.
Proposed Mitigation Measures:
The following Mitigation Measures will likely be imposed on the proposed project. These recommended Mitigation Measures address project impacts not covered by existing codes and regulations
as cited above.
The applicant shall comply with the recommendations found in the Geotechnical Addendum prepared by The Riley Group, Inc., dated June 13, 2018. If the recommended drilling and further
research determine that coal mine hazards prevent the construction of single family structures and utilities, then the number of proposed lots may be required to be reduced and/or the
final design of the short plat could change.
A note shall be recorded on the face of the final short plat map identifying and delineating the coal mine hazard areas on the project site.
All earthwork performed and implemented by the applicant shall be limited to seasonally drier periods (typically from April 1 to October 31) and shall be consistent with the recommendations
of the Geotechnical Engineering Report prepared by The Riley Group, Inc., dated March 14, 2017, or an updated report submitted at a later date.
The stormwater vault proposed in Tract B shall be designed to be located underground and/or covered in soil. No part of the vault shall be permitted to protrude from the ground surface.
If it is determined that the stormwater vault is unable to be constructed below the ground surface, then the applicant shall provide a fully sight-obscuring landscape visual barrier
or an alternative method for approval by the Planning Division.
Comments on the above application must be submitted in writing to Clark H. Close, Senior Planner, CED – Planning Division, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057, by 5:00 PM on May
23, 2019. If you have questions about this proposal, or wish to be made a party of record and receive additional notification by mail, contact the Project Manager. Anyone who submits
written comments will automatically become a party of record and will be notified of any decision on this project. A copy of the subsequent threshold determination is available upon
request.
