LOCATION WHERE APPLICATION MAY
BE REVIEWED:
Applicant documents are available online through the City of Renton
Document Center website. See also http://bit.ly/2xMHJ0A
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review in order to operate
a small vehicle service and repair center in a portion of the existing building at 850 Lind Ave SW (APN 1923059100). The
property is approximately 37,792 sq. ft. in size and is located in the Medium Industrial (IM) zone. The applicant is
proposing to utilize the southern portion of the building to repair passenger cars and trucks. As part of the project, the
applicant has proposed the installation of approximately 25 vehicle lifts, a pressure washing station, a storage area, office
space and restrooms within the vacant space. According to the applicant, the building would not be open to customers
and all vehicles would be transferred to the repair area from Sound Ford's main building by staff. "Small vehicle repair"
is a permitted use in the IM zone. Environmental (SEPA) Review is required due to the project being a change of use in a
building larger than 4,000 sq. ft. A TUP (LUA19-000082) was approved on May 3, 2019 that allows the applicant to
operate the service and repair center while the Environmental Review application is reviewed by city staff. Access to the
site would remain off Lind Ave SW, while access to the building would be via an existing ramp on the west side of the
building. According to COR maps, a high seismic hazard is present on the site. No trees or vegetation are proposed for
removal as a part of the project. The applicant submitted an Environmental Checklist with the application.
Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 p.m. on September 13, 2019,
together with the required fee with: Hearing Examiner, City of Renton, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057.
Appeals to the Examiner are governed by City of RMC 4-8-110 and information regarding the appeal process may be
obtained from the Renton City Clerk’s Office, (425) 430-6510.
