DATE: October 3, 2019
TO: Pre-Application File No. PRE19-000227
FROM: Jill Ding, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Kennydale Crest View Estates #2 Short Plat
1415 N 24th St
General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre-application for the above-
referenced development proposal. The following comments on development and permitting
issues are based on the pre-application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant
and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is cautioned that information
contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official
decision-makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Community & Economic Development Administrator,
Public Works Administrator, Planning Director, Development Services Director, and City
Council). Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other
design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to
review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The Development Regulations are
available online at www.rentonwa.gov
Project Proposal: The project site (Tax Parcel 334450-0234) is located at 1415 N 24th St and
totals approximately 23,595 square feet (0.54 acres) in area and is zoned Residential-6 (R-6). An
existing single family residence is proposed to be removed. The proposal is to subdivide the
existing parcel into 2 legal lots. The proposed lots would have lot areas of 10,705 square feet.
Access to the proposed lots would be provided via individual driveways off of N 24th St. The site
is mapped within a Wellhead Protection Area, zone 2.
Current Use: The property is developed with an existing single family home, proposed for
removal.
Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property is zoned Residential-6 (R-6). The minimum
density in the R-6 zone is 3.0 dwelling units per net acre (du/ac) and the maximum density is 6.0
du/ac. Private access easements, critical areas and public right-of-way are deducted from the
total area to determine net density. For purposes of calculating net density: All fractions shall be
truncated at two numbers past the decimal. Should a calculation result in a fraction of a
dwelling unit that is 0.50 or greater, the fraction shall be rounded up to the nearest whole
number, for example, 4.56 dwelling units becomes 5.0. Should a calculation result in a fraction
that is less than 0.50, the fraction shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, for
example, 4.49 dwelling units becomes 4.0 dwelling units. Based on a gross site area of 23,595
square feet (0.54 acres), the proposal for 2 lots would result in a gross density of 3.70 du/ac,
which is within the density range permitted for the R-6 zone. The applicant would be required
to demonstrate compliance with the net density requirements of the zone at the time of
formal application.

Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size permitted in Zone R-6 is 7,000
square feet for parcels less than one acre, with one lot allowed to be smaller than the required
minimum lot size. This single lot is allowed to be 6,250 square feet in Zone R-6. Minimum lot
width is 60 feet for interior lots, or 70 feet for corner lots. Minimum lot depth is 90 feet. The
proposed lot configuration appears to be compliant with minimum lot dimensional standards
of the R-6 zone.
Building Standards – The R-6 standards allow a maximum building coverage of 40% of the lot
area. The maximum impervious coverage in the R-6 zone is 55%. The maximum wall plate height
is restricted to 24 feet, and the buildings shall not be more than two stories. Roofs with a pitch
equal to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six (6) vertical feet from the maximum
wall plate height; common rooftop features, such as chimneys, may project an additional four
(4) vertical feet from the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical projections (e.g., decks, railings, etc.)
shall not extend above the maximum wall plate height unless the projection is stepped back
one-and-a-half (1.5) horizontal feet from each façade for each one (1) vertical foot above the
maximum wall plate height. Detached accessory structures are restricted to a maximum wall
plate height of 12 feet. The gross floor area must be less than that of the primary structure.
Accessory structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. The proposal’s
compliance with the building standards for the new home would be verified at the time of
building permit review.
Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the
property line and any private access easement or tract. The required setbacks for the R-6 zone
are: Front yard: 25 feet for the primary structure; Rear yard: 25 feet; Side yards: combined 15 ft.
with not less than 5 ft. on either side. Corner lots required to have a front yard and a secondary
front yard are relieved of the requirement to have a rear yard; in place of a rear yard setback,
the side yard setback of the zone shall apply. Lots adjacent to both public ROW and driveway
tract frontage are classified as corner lots. Setback compliance for the new homes would be
verified at the time of building permit review.
Residential Design and Open Space Standards: The Residential Design and Open Space
Standards contained in RMC 4-2-115 would be applicable to any new residential structures.
Access: Access to the proposed lots would be provided residential driveways off N 24th St.

retention plan must show preservation of at least 30 percent (30 %) of significant trees, and
indicate how proposed building footprints would be sited to accommodate preservation of
significant trees that would be retained. The Administrator may authorize the planting of
replacement trees on the site if it can be demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction that
an insufficient number of trees can be retained.
In addition to retaining 30 percent of existing significant trees, each new lot would be required
to provide a minimum tree density of 2 trees per 5,000 square feet of lot area onsite. Protected
trees that do not contribute to a lot's required minimum tree density shall be held in perpetuity
within a tree protection tract.
Significant trees shall be retained in the following priority order:
Priority One: Landmark trees; significant trees that form a continuous canopy; significant trees
on slopes greater than twenty percent (20%); Significant trees adjacent to critical areas and their
associated buffers; and Significant trees over sixty feet (60') in height or greater than eighteen
inches ( 18") caliper.
Priority Two: Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be preserved; Other
significant native evergreen or deciduous trees; and Other significant non- native trees.
