TO: Pre -Application File No. 18-000262
FROM: Matt Herrera, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: Goodwin Cottages PUD
4196 Lincoln PI NE
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 for purchase for $50.00 plus tax from the Finance Division on the first floor of City Hall
or online at www.rentonwa.gov.
Project Proposal: The applicant proposes a Planned Urban Development (PUD) with preliminary
plat to subdivide five existing properties located at and around 4196 Lincoln Ave NE into 76
single family residential dwellings. The site area is approximately 10 acres and zoned Residential
— 8 (R-8). The applicant proposes to modify street and lot size/dimension standards that include
a 40 -foot wide internal street section, woonerf front loads, pedestrian court home orientation,
and reduced lot sizes. Public benefits proposed include increased open space and recreation
areas. COR maps identifies potential onsite geologically hazardous areas and wetlands.
Current Use: The subject property is comprised of three vacant and unimproved parcels and two
properties each containing single family residences.
Zoning: The subject property is located within the R-8 zoning classification and Residential
Medium Density Comprehensive Plan designation. Single-family residential (detached
dwellings) is a permitted use in the R-8 zone.
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, "Development
Standards for Residential Zoning Designations" effective at the time of complete application
(noted as "R-8 standards" herein). Many of these standards and the street and subdivision
standards may be modified via PUD application with the exception of use, density, critical

areas, tree retention, grading, and those code provisions restricted from modification
identified in RMC 4-9-1508.3.
Density_— The density range allowed in the R-8 zone is a minimum of 4 dwellings to a maximum
of 8 dwelling units per net acre (du/ac), however the maximum density shall be six (6) dwelling
units per net acre when alleys are not part of the proposed or existing street configuration, and
alleys are considered practical, as specified in RMC 4-7-150E5. The area of public and private
streets and critical areas would be deducted from the gross site area to determine the "net" site
area prior to calculating density. Right of way dedication, private streets, and critical areas
could not be determined at this time therefore a calculation on net density could not be
provided. The gross density for the proposed 76 dwelling units is 7.53 du/ac. The applicant
would be required to demonstrate compliance with the density range of the R-8 zone using net
density calculations and a Density Worksheet would need to be submitted with the land use
application. Density cannot be modified via the PUD process.

Preapplication Meeting
May 3, 2018
Significant Tree Retention: A Tree Retention/ Land Clearing (Tree Inventory) Plan, arborist
report, and tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application. The
tree 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% 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 Int 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.
Priority Three: Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other trees have been
evaluated for retention and are not able to be retained, unless the alders and/ or cottonwoods
are used as part of an approved enhancement project within a critical area or its buffer.
The Administrator may require independent review of any land use application that involves
tree removal and land clearing at the City's discretion.
If staff determines that the trees cannot be retained, replacement trees, with at least a 2 -inch
caliper or an evergreen at least 6 feet tall, shall be planted at a rate of 12 caliper inches of new
trees to replace each protected tree removed. A formal tree retention plan prepared by an
arborist or landscape architect would be reviewed at the time of the Preliminary Plat
application.
Fences/Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences or retaining walls as part of this
project, the location must be designated on the landscape plan or grading plan. A fence and/or
wall detail should also be included on the plan. A retaining wall that is 4 feet or taller, as
measured by the vertical distance from the bottom of the footing to the finish grade at the top
of the wall requires a building permit. A fence shall not be constructed on top of a retaining wall
unless the total combined height of the retaining wall and the fence does not exceed the
allowed height of a standalone fence. For more information about fences and retaining walls
refer to RMC 4-4-040.
Retaining wall heights for residential development are limited to 6 -feet in height for interior side
yards and rear yards and 4 -feet in height front yards and side or rear yards along a street.
Terrace widths must be equal to the wall height and landscaped. Retaining walls shall be
composed of brick, rock, textured or patterned concrete, or other masonry product that
complements the proposed building and site development. Proposed retaining walls shall also
be shown on cross section drawings submitted with the application. See Hillside Subdivision
information below.

Goodwin Cottages
Preapplication Meeting
May 3, 2018
Residential Design Standards - All single family residences would be subject to the Residential
Design Standards outlined in RMC 4-2-115. Typically Residential Design Review occurs as part of
the Building Permit application for each new lot, however as the proposal is a PUD, the City will
require building elevation drawings with the PUD application to ensure the architecture and
scale of the proposed dwellings compliments the modified development regulations. The
applicant should review the residential design standards in their entirety as these would be
considered a baseline when reviewing the PUD for superiority.
Hillside Subdivision: If the subject property contains an average slope of 20 percent or in which
any street in the subdivision has grades greater than 15 percent at any point, the following
standards apply:
Application Information - Information concerning the soils, geology, drainage patterns, and
vegetation shall be presented in order to evaluate the drainage, erosion control and slope
stability for site development of the proposed plat. The applicant must demonstrate that the
development of the hillside subdivision will not result in soil erosion and sedimentation,
landslide, slippage, excess surface water runoff, increased costs of building and maintaining
roads and public facilities and increased need for emergency relief and rescue operations. A
topographic survey detailing areas that meet the City's definition of sensitive and protected
slopes and potential landslide hazard areas shall be provided with the land use application.
Grading - Detailed plans for any proposed cut and fill operations shall be submitted. These plans
shall include the angle of slope, contours, compaction, and retaining walls. Several cross
sections of the subject property detailing existing and proposed grades with any retaining
walls will be required with the land use application.
Tracts - Areas of the subdivision deemed to be critical areas due to designation as protected
slopes shall be located within a tract or tracts.
Streets - Streets may only have a grade exceeding fifteen percent (15%) if approved by the
Department of Community and Economic Development and the Fire Department. Street widths
may be less than those required in the street standards for streets with grades steeper than
fifteen percent (15%) if parking prohibition on one or both sides of the street and is approved by
the Administrator.
Lots -Lots may be required to be larger than minimum lot sizes required by the Zoning Code.
Generally, lots in steeper areas of the subdivision should be larger than those in less steep areas
of the subdivision.
Erosion Control Requirements - Any clearing or grading shall be accompanied by erosion control
measures as deemed necessary by the Department.
Driveways and parking: Driveways must be setback at least 5 -feet from side property lines. The
maximum driveway slopes cannot exceed 15%. If the grade exceeds 15%, a variance is required.
Driveways exceeding eight percent (8%) shall provide slotted drains at the lower end. The
maximum width of single loaded garage driveways shall not exceed 9 feet and double loaded
garage driveways shall not exceed 16 feet. Each lot is required to accommodate off street
parking for a minimum of two vehicles.
Access: The applicant has proposed a modified residential access street with 40 -foot cross
section containing sidewalk and planter on one (east) side. Additionally the applicant has
W
Goodwin Cottages
Preapplication Meeting
May 3, 2018
proposed several lots that appear to front a pedestrian court and others that orient to a
woonerf. Staff has provided the following feedback on these proposed modifications:
• Additional pedestrian connections between lots 28-35 and Lots 15-27 should be
provided for guests parking on the development's main street and visiting the
greencourt lots 46-65. This should be a minimum 20 -foot wide pedestrian easement
that includes landscaping and lighting.
■ Lots 1-6 should orient to Lincoln Ave NE and contain an alley to serve these lots and lots
7-14. Alley loading this block would then remove the need to provide individual
driveways along the main street and provide the space for the sidewalk/planter along
Lots 7-14. The alley could be programmed as a woonerf and serve as a connection and
extension to the park.
• Mid -block pedestrian crossings should be added for eastern lots 15-76 to access the
park and Lincoln Ave NE.
• The woonerf on the eastern portion of the property should contain adequate width in
order to provide streetscape features such as planter boxes, seating, and landscaping.
The surface materials should be distinct in order to indicate a shared pedestrian and
vehicle space. The woonerf should also transition into the abutting greencourt as an
extension of the open space.
Critical Areas: The City's Critical Areas Map identifies potential wetlands, Type F stream, and
geologically hazardous areas. The applicant would be required to submit a wetland report,
stream study, and geotechnical report prepared by qualified professionals meeting the
submittal requirements identified in RMC 4-8-120C. Independent secondary review of the
reports may be required. Critical area buffers, structure setbacks, and decisional criteria for the
limited encroachment into such areas are provided in RMC 4-3-050. Critical areas shall be placed
within tracts of the subdivision. Proposed impacts to onsite wetlands will require
compensatory mitigation identified in RMC 4-3-050!.4. Additional state and federal permitting
may also be required.
Environmental Review: The proposed subdivision will accommodate more than nine new
dwelling units and therefore exceeds the City's adopted State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
flexible threshold exemption for minor new construction. An environmental checklist must be
submitted with the land use application and a SEPA determination will be made at least two -
weeks prior to the public hearing.
Permit Requirements: The applicant has requested in the preapplication materials to have the
application entitled under the Preliminary Planned Urban Development (PUD) process. The PUD
option allows modification of many of the codes referenced in this memo if public benefits are
provided, the project is superior to a proposal that would follow code requirements, and usable
common open space located within the development. All modifications would be considered
simultaneously as part of a planned urban development application. The applicant would be
required to provide written responses to PUD decisional criteria that articulates how the
project is superior to a non -PUD development and provides a public benefit.
The following public benefits are identified in the PUD development regulations:
a. Critical Areas: Protects critical areas that would not be protected otherwise to the same
degree as without a planned urban development; or

property, such as significant woodlands, native vegetation, topography, or noncritical
area wildlife habitats, not otherwise required by other City regulations; or
c. Public Facilities: Provides public facilities that could not be required by the City for
development of the subject property without a planned urban development; or
d. Use of Sustainable Development Techniques: Design which results in a sustainable
development; such as LEED certification, energy efficiency, use of alternative energy
resources, low impact development techniques, etc.; or
e. Overall Design: Provides a planned urban development design that is superior to the
design that would result from development of the subject property without a planned
urban development. A superior design may include the following:
Open Space/Recreation:
a) Provides increased open space or recreational facilities beyond standard
code requirements and considered equivalent to features that would offset
park mitigation fees in Resolution 3082; and
b) Provides a quality environment through either passive or active recreation
facilities and attractive common areas, including accessibility to buildings
from parking areas and public walkways; or
ii. Circulation/Screening: Provides superior circulation patterns or location or
screening of parking facilities; or
iii. Landscaping/Screening: Provides superior landscaping, buffering, or screening in
or around the proposed planned urban development; or
iv. Site and Building Design: Provides superior architectural design, placement,
relationship or orientation of structures, or use of solar energy; or
V. Alleys: Provides alleys for any proposed single family detached, semi -attached, or
townhouse units.
Additional Review Criteria — A proposed planned urban development shall also be reviewed for
consistency with all of the following criteria:
a. Building and Site Design:
L Perimeter: Size, scale, mass, character and architectural design along the planned
urban development perimeter provide a suitable transition to adjacent or abutting
lower density/intensity zones. Materials shall reduce the potential for light and
glare.
ii. Interior Design: Promotes a coordinated site and building design. Buildings in groups
should be related by coordinated materials and roof styles, but contrast should be
provided throughout a site by the use of varied materials, architectural detailing,
building orientation or housing type; e.g., single family, detached, attached,
townhouses, etc.
b. Circulation:
13

i. Provides sufficient streets and pedestrian facilities. The planned urban development
shall have sufficient pedestrian and vehicle access commensurate with the location,
size and density of the proposed development. All public and private streets shall
accommodate emergency vehicle access and the traffic demand created by the
development as documented in a traffic and circulation report approved by the City.
Vehicle access shall not be unduly detrimental to adjacent areas.
ii. Promotes safety through sufficient sight distance, separation of vehicles from
pedestrians, limited driveways on busy streets, avoidance of difficult turning
patterns, and minimization of steep gradients.
iii. Provision of a system of walkways which tie residential areas to recreational areas,
transit, public walkways, schools, and commercial activities.
iv. Provides safe, efficient access for emergency vehicles.
c. Infrastructure and Services: Provides utility services, emergency services, and other
improvements, existing and proposed, which are sufficient to serve the development.
d. Clust_e_rs_or Building Groups and Open SLce: An appearance of openness created by
clustering, separation of building groups, and through the use of well-designed open
space and landscaping, or a reduction in amount of impervious surfaces not otherwise
required.
e. -Privacy and Building Separation: Provides internal privacy between dwelling units, and
external privacy for adjacent dwelling units. Each residential or mixed use development
shall provide visual and acoustical privacy for dwelling units and surrounding properties.
Fences, insulation, walks, barriers, and landscaping are used, as appropriate, for the
protection and aesthetic enhancement of the property, the privacy of site occupants
and surrounding properties, and for screening of storage, mechanical or other
appropriate areas, and for the reduction of noise. Windows are placed at such a height
or location or screened to provide sufficient privacy. Sufficient light and air are provided
to each dwelling unit.
f. Building Orientation: Provides buildings oriented to enhance views from within the site
by taking advantage of topography, building location and style.
g. Parking Area Design: Provides parking areas that are complemented by landscaping and
not designed in long rows. The size of parking areas is minimized in comparison to
typical designs, and each area related to the group of buildings served. The design
provides for efficient use of parking, and shared parking facilities where appropriate.
PUD Open Space Standards — Common open space shall be concentrated in large usable areas
and may be designed to provide either active or passive recreation. Open space must equal at
least ten percent (10%) of the development site's gross land area, A minimum area equal to fifty
(50) square feet_ per unit of common space or recreation area shall be provided in a
concentrated space. Each residential unit in a planned urban development shall have usable
private open space for the exclusive use of the occupants of that unit. Each unit shall have
private open space contiguous to the unit. The private open space shall be well demarcated and
at least fifteen feet (15") in every dimension.
A_preliminary plat application would also be required as the applicant proposes to subdivide
the property.
