DocuSign Envelope ID: 4573EC25-45E6-44CC-8BB6-DB73AE7495D2 City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Swanson Gardner Meyers Office Addition Staff Report to the Environmental Review Committee LUA19-000169, ECF, SA-A, MOD Report of September 9, 2019 Page 2 of 4 SR_ERC Report_Swanson Garden Meyers ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations. A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials: Issue a DNS with a 14-day Appeal Period. B. Exhibits Exhibit 1: Environmental Review Committee (ERC) Report Exhibit 2: Neighborhood Detail Map Exhibit 3: Site Plan Exhibit 4: Technical Information Report (TIR) prepared by Core Design, Inc., June 5, 2019 Exhibit 5: Traffic Study Waiver Request Exhibit 6: Advisory Notes C. 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. Storm Water Impacts: The applicant submitted a preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR) prepared by Core Design, Inc. with the Land Use Application, dated June 5, 2019 (Exhibit 4). Based on the City’s flow control map, the site falls within the Flow Control Duration Standard area matching Forested Site Conditions and is within the Black River Drainage Basin. The site is bordered by Talbot Center to the north, the proposed Weatherly Development to the east and south, and Talbot Road to the west. The total project site is 0.60 acres in size, with the existing building and parking lot on the north half of the site. The site drains west (with an average slope of 6 percent) to the 12-inch storm drain system in Talbot Road that drains north for about 690 feet until S 43rd Street where it heads west for 550 fee t and north for 150 feet through the parking lot of Valley Medical Center. The storm system in Valley Medical Center drains around the south and west sides of the property for about 1,200 feet before discharging into an open channel flowing north to Panther Creek. The report states that there is minimal upstream flow from the property to the east, which is currently forested but planned for development in which all of the stormwater will be managed on site. The proposed development of the property would include an office expansion to the south of the existing office building and frontage improvements, which would include removing the existing 5-foot sidewalk and replacing it with an 8-foot wide sidewalk on the east side of Talbot Road. A new garage/recycle dumpster is proposed to be provided on the south end of the existing parking lot. No additional parking is proposed; however, the applicant proposes to restripe the existing parking stalls. Proposed utility work includes a fire line (installed by the Weatherly Development), a splash block and a perforated roof connection tying into the existing storm drain system in Talbot Road. The proposal adds a total of 4,930 square feet of new plus replaced impervious, therefore the project is exempt from flow control. Water quality treatment would be not required as the project would not add any pollution generating hard surface. DocuSign Envelope ID: 4573EC25-45E6-44CC-8BB6-DB73AE7495D2 City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Swanson Gardner Meyers Office Addition Staff Report to the Environmental Review Committee LUA19-000169, ECF, SA-A, MOD Report of September 9, 2019 Page 3 of 4 SR_ERC Report_Swanson Garden Meyers A final drainage report complying with the current Renton Surface Water Design Manual (RSWDM) would be required at the time of Civil Construction Permit. It is anticipated that the City’s currently adopted 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual would mitigate for any potential surface water impacts that would be generated by the project proposal, therefore no further mitigation is recommended at this time. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation required. Nexus: Not applicable. 2. Noise Impacts: There may be some temporary noise impacts resulting from typical construction activities associated with the proposed expansion improvements, however these impacts are anticipated to be short term in nature. No long term noise impacts are anticipated as no change of use is proposed with the development. Mitigation Measures: None recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. 3. Transportation Impacts: The site currently has 13 parking stalls. The applicant proposes to restripe the existing parking lot; however, no additional stall are proposed. For general office uses, Renton Municipal Code requires a minimum of 2.0 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of net floor area and a maximum of 4.5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of net floor area. The net floor area of the office use was not provided by the applicant; however the gross floor area of the use is approximately 6,082 square feet, which would require a minimum of 12 parking spaces and a maximum of 27 parking stalls. The applicant’s proposal meets parking requirements. Additional parking analysis will be conducted and provided within the administrative site plan review staff report. The applicant submitted a traffic study waiver request with the project application (Exhibit 6). Based on the submitted request, the proposed hours of operation for the office use is Monday through Friday, 7am to 5pm. There are currently a total of 9 employees working onsite, and a total of 13 employees are proposed to work onsite. A traffic impact analysis is required when the estimated vehicular traffic generated from a proposed development exceeds 20 vehicles per hour in either the AM (6:00 – 9:00) or PM (3:00 – 6:00) peak periods. Based on the information provided by the applicant, it is not anticipated that vehicle trip for the proposed development will exceed 20 vehicle trips during peak hours; therefore, the traffic study was waived. The proposed project would be responsible for the payment of Transportation Impact Fees at the applicable rate at the time of building permit issuance for the new use less any impact fee previously paid for the land use category of the prior use. In addition, the project will be reviewed for Transportation Concurrency and a finding will be made at the time of Administrative Site Plan Review. It is anticipated that code required impact fees would adequately mitigate transportation impacts for the proposed addition and the existing 13 parking spaces would provide adequate off-street parking for development; therefore no further mitigation is recommended. Mitigation Measures: None recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. 4. Aesthetics Impacts: As the proposal is not a mixed-use development, the Urban Design District D standards would not apply to the land use application. However, a code amendment is under review to require all projects in the Commercial Office (CO) zone to be subject to requirements of RMC 4-3-100, Urban DocuSign Envelope ID: 4573EC25-45E6-44CC-8BB6-DB73AE7495D2 City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Swanson Gardner Meyers Office Addition Staff Report to the Environmental Review Committee LUA19-000169, ECF, SA-A, MOD Report of September 9, 2019 Page 4 of 4 SR_ERC Report_Swanson Garden Meyers Design Regulations. Based on the timing of proposed code change and the submittal of the building permit, the applicant may be required to comply with urban design regulations. Mitigation Measures: None recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. D. Comments of Reviewing Departments The proposal has been circulated to City Department and Division Reviewers.

Based on the review of project information submitted for the pre-application meeting, Renton Regional Fire Authority has determined that the preliminary fire flow demand for the proposed development is 1,500 gpm including the use of an automatic fire sprinkler system. The following developer’s installed water main improvements will be required to provide domestic and fire protection service to the development including but not limited to: a. Installation of a fire sprinkler stub a with a double check detector assembly (DCDA) for backflow prevention to each building. The fire sprinkler stub and related piping shall be done by a registered fire sprinkler designer/contractor. The DCDA shall be installed on the private property in an outside underground vault per City standard plan no. 360.2. The DCDA may be installed inside the building if it meets the conditions as shown on City’s standard plan 360.5 for the installation of a DCDA inside a building. The location of the DCDA inside the building must be pre-approved by the City Plan Reviewer and Water Utility. b. The “Site and Composite Utility Plan” submitted with the Land Use Application indicated that the 4-inch water stub for the fire sprinkler system will be provided as part of the water main improvements to be constructed by the adjacent development to the south known as the Weatherly Inn Renton. As such, the fire sprinkler system for the new addition to the building cannot be operational until the water mains improvements for the adjacent development are constructed and are operational. A temporary and/or final certificate of occupancy cannot be given until the fire sprinkler system is operational. c. Where the 4-inch water stub passes under the proposed retaining wall, the water pipe shall be installed in a steel casing that extends a minimum of 5 feet past each edge of the retaining wall. d. Installation of off-site and on-site fire hydrants. The location and number of hydrants will be determined by the Fire Authority based on the final fire flow demand and final site plan. A hydrant is required within 50 feet of the building’s fire sprinkler system fire department connection (FDC). e. The domestic water meter shall have a double check valve assembly (DCVA) installed behind on the meter on private property per City Standards. The DCVA may be located inside the building if the location is approved by the City Plan Reviewer and City Water Utility Department. f. A 15-foot utility easement will be required for any water main and for related appurtenances that are not located within the public right-of-way. g. A minimum 10-foot setback is required from the building foundation to the water main. h. A pressure-reducing-valve (PRV) is required behind each water meter because the water pressure is over 80 psi. i. Installation of a “Storz” adapter on the existing hydrants, if they are not already equipped with one.
