DATE: September 7, 2017
TO: Pre-application File No. 17-000560
FROM: Alex Morganroth, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Renton 116th Ave SE Short Plat
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: A previous pre-application meeting was held for the property on June 22, 2017 (PRE17-000338).
The subject property at 18809 116th Ave SE (Parcel #3223059075) is located on the west side of 116th Ave SE,
between SE 186th St and SE 192nd St. The project site totals 57,934 sq. ft. (1.32 acres) in area and is zoned Residential-
8 du/ac (R-8). The proposal is to subdivide the site into six (6) single-family residential lots. Currently, the project
site contains two cell towers and a crosswalk signage operation facility on the property. One existing cell tower is
proposed to be demolished, while the southern cell tower and crosswalk operation station would remain. The
applicant has proposed the construction of six new single-family homes on the project site. The proposed size of
the lots range from 5,040 sq. ft. to 6,450 sq. ft. Access to the lots is proposed via a 45 foot wide limited residential
access with a 20 foot wide driveway tract extending access to three of the proposed lots on the western portion of
the site. Access to the cell tower and radio station proposed for retention would be provided via a utility easement
across the shared driveway tract. An assortment of existing utility easements are present on the western portion
of the site. Site soils consist of alderwood gravelly sandy loam. COR maps does not indicate the presence of any
critical areas on or within 200 feet of the project site. The applicant did not include the number of trees proposed
for retention or removal on the project site, but COR maps indicates that multiple significant or landmark trees are
located on the site.
Current Use: The property has two cell towers and a one story structure that houses equipment for the crosswalk
signage on 116th Ave SE. The existing radio substation and one of the cell towers would remain.
Zoning: The surrounding area, including this property, has a Comprehensive Plan land use designation of Residential
Medium Density (RMD) and is zoned Residential 8 (R-8) dwelling units per acre. The R-8 zone intended to create
opportunities for new single family residential neighborhoods and to facilitate high-quality infill development that
promotes reinvestment in existing single family neighborhoods.
Density Requirements: The minimum density permitted in the R-8 zone is four (4) dwelling units per acre. The
maximum density permitted in the R-8 zone is eight (8) dwelling units per net acre (du/ac). Net density is calculated
K:\Preapps\2017\PRE17000560_116th Ave SE short plat
after the deduction of areas required for public right-of-way dedication, private access easements, and critical areas
from the gross site area.
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. The applicant did not include a net density calculation with the
submittal materials. Based on the submitted site plan, net acreage was calculated to be approximately 1.07 acres.
Therefore, the net density of site was calculated to be approximately 6.5 du/ac and falls within the required net
density range for the R-8 zone. A Density Worksheet demonstrating compliance with the net density requirements
would be required at the time of formal short plat application submittal.
Development Standards: The project is 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).
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 is 5,000 square feet. A minimum
lot width of 50 feet is required for interior lots and 60 feet for corner lots. A lot depth of 80 feet is required. Based
on the submitted site plan, Lots 1-6 appear to meet the required bulk dimensions for lots in the R-8 zone. It is the
applicant’s responsibility to demonstrate compliance with the minimum lot size, width and depth criteria of the
zone at the time of formal application. Please use Code Interpretation (CI-108), effective March 24, 2017, for how
to calculate lot dimensions for irregularly shaped lots.
Building Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the property
line. The required setbacks in the R-8 zone are 20 feet for the front yard, 20 feet for the rear yard, 15 feet for a side
yard along a street, and 5 feet for interior side yards. As proposed, all lots appear adequately sized to incorporate
the required setbacks while retaining a reasonable building are. The setbacks for all new residence would be
verified at the time of building permit review.
Building Height – The maximum wall plate height is 24 feet with 2 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. Building height would be verified at the time of building permit review.
Building Coverage – The R-8 zone allows a maximum building coverage of 50% of the lot area. Building coverage
requirements would be verified at the time of building permit review.
Impervious Surface Area – The maximum impervious surface would be limited to 65%. Impervious surface
requirements would be verified at the time of building permit review.
Residential Design and Open Space Standards: All new single family residences would be subject to the Residential
Design Standards outlined in RMC 4-2-115. Residential Design Review occurs as part of the Building Permit Review.
Landscaping: The development standards require that all pervious areas within the property boundaries be
landscaped. Therefore, all areas of the site not covered by structures, required parking, access, circulation or patios,
must be landscaped with native, drought-resistant vegetative cover. Ten feet (10') of on-site landscaping is required
along all public street frontages, with the exception of areas for required walkways and driveways. In addition, two
trees are required in the front yard setback area of each lot when there are no street trees within the street right-
of-way as referenced in the landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070F).
Storm Drainage Facility Landscaping: A landscaping strip with a minimum fifteen feet (15') of width shall be located
on the outside of the fence, unless otherwise determined through the site plan review or subdivision review
process.
Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) for further general and specific landscape requirements. A
conceptual landscape plan would be required at the time of formal land use application.
Significant Tree Retention: If significant trees (greater than 6-inch caliper or 8-caliper inches for alders and
cottonwoods) are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory and a tree retention plan along with an arborist report,
K:\Preapps\2017\PRE17000560_116th Ave SE short plat
tree retention plan and tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application as defined
in RMC 4-8-120. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least 30% of significant trees, and indicate
how proposed building footprints would be sited to accommodate preservation of significant trees that would be
retained (RMC 4-4-130H1.a). When the required number of protected trees cannot be retained, replacement trees,
with at least a two-inch (2") caliper or an evergreen at least six feet (6') tall, shall be planted at a rate of twelve (12)
caliper inches of new trees to replace each protected tree removed. 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.
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. A formal tree retention plan would be reviewed at the time of Short Plat
application.
Fences/Retaining Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences or walls as part of this project, the location
must be designated on the landscape plan. A wall taller than four feet (4') requires a building permit. Fences up to
six feet (6’) in height are permitted in the rear yard, side yard; fences up to four feet (4’) are permitted in the front
yard. Any part of a yard that is within a clear vision area has a limited fence height of 42-inches. 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. New or existing fencing would need to comply with the fence
requirements of the code (RMC 4-4-040).
Retaining walls shall be composed of brick, rock, textured or patterned concrete, or other masonry product that
complements the proposed building and site development. There shall be a minimum three-foot (3') landscaped
setback at the base of retaining walls abutting public rights-of-way. Please refer to retaining wall standards (RMC
4-4-040) for additional information about fences and retaining walls.
Existing Wireless Communication Facilities (WCF): The cell tower and radio substation proposed to remain on the
site should be placed in a tract in order to separate the residential and utility uses and to provide adequate access
for maintenance crews. The designation of utility/tracts may alter the dimensions of the proposed lots and should
be discussed with the owners of the equipment prior to submitting the short plat application.
In accordance with the City’s Wireless Communication Facility Regulations, RMC 4-4-140F.4, towers shall be set
back from each property line by a distance equal to the tower height, unless an engineering analysis concludes
that a reduced setback is safe for abutting properties and the Administrator determines that a reduced setback
is appropriate for the site.
The City’s wireless regulations (RMC 4-4-140) require that equipment shelters and cabinets be surrounded by a
fifteen-foot (15') wide sight-obscuring landscape buffer along the outside perimeter of required security fencing
with a minimum height that is no less than the height of the compound fence at any point; however, existing
topography, vegetation and other site characteristics may provide relief from the screening requirement. The
K:\Preapps\2017\PRE17000560_116th Ave SE short plat
required landscaped areas shall include an automated irrigation system, unless the applicant is able to justify an
exception to this requirement to the Administrator’s satisfaction.
Access/Parking: Access to the proposed lots is shown via a 45-foot wide limited access residential street off of 116th
Ave SE with a 20-foot wide shared driveway extension on the western portion of the site. The proposed shared
driveway would serve lots 4, 5, and 6. All subdivisions greater than four lots must be served by a public road. Short
plat subdivisions shall establish access to a public road for each segregated parcel. Lot 5 does not meet this
requirement and may not utilize a private access easement for access.
Alley-loading is the preferred method of vehicular access for single-family homes in the R-8 zone. Although utilizing
alleys may not be feasible for the subject site, the applicant is highly encouraged to incorporate alleys into the site
design. If alleys are not incorporated into the development, the applicant will need to provide written justification
for the omission of alleys at the time of short plat application, in lieu staff may require joint use driveways.
Each lot is required to accommodate off street parking for a minimum of two vehicles.
In anticipation of future development on the adjacent site to the south, the construction of a half-street (35-foot
ROW) on the south side of the site may be more appropriate for the subject site. An alley could then be utilities for
rear-loading – a feature that would bring the development more in line with the goals and intentions in the R-zone.
Driveways: 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 with positive drainage
discharge to restrict runoff from entering the garage/residence or crossing any public sidewalk.
Compliance with driveway standards would be verified at the time of building permit review.
Shared driveways may be allowed for access to four (4) or fewer residential lots, provided:
a. At least one of the four (4) lots abuts a public right-of-way and the street frontage of the lot is equal to or
greater than the lot width requirement of the zone.
b. The subject lots are not created by a subdivision of ten (10) or more lots;
c. A public street is not anticipated by the City of Renton to be necessary for existing or future traffic and/or
pedestrian circulation through the short subdivision or to serve adjacent property;
d. The shared driveway would not adversely affect future circulation to neighboring properties;
e. The shared driveway is no more than three hundred feet in length; and
f. The shared driveway poses no safety risk and provides sufficient access for emergency vehicles and
personnel.
Critical Areas: No critical areas are mapped on or within 200 feet of the project site. It is the applicant’s
responsibility to determine whether or not any unmapped critical areas exist on the site prior to short plat
application.
Environmental Review: Short plats of nine (9) or fewer lots are categorically exempt from Environmental (SEPA)
Review per WAC 197-11-800.
Permit Requirements: The proposed subdivision would require administrative short plat approval. The preliminary
short plat application would be processed within an estimated time frame of 6-8 weeks. The short plat fee would
be $5,000. A 3% ($150) technology surcharge fee would also be collected at the time of application. Please note
that the technology fee will increase later in 2017. Detailed information regarding the land use application submittal
is provided on the City’s website. Search “Land Use Forms” in the search bar for handouts and checklists. The City
now requires all plans to be submitted electronically per the attached Electronic Review Standards.
Once Preliminary Short Plat approval is obtained, the applicant must complete the required improvements and
dedications, as well as satisfy any conditions of the preliminary approval before submitting for Final Short Plat
K:\Preapps\2017\PRE17000560_116th Ave SE short plat
review. Once final approval is received, the plat may be recorded. The newly created lots may only be sold after the
plat has been recorded.
Public Notice: The short plat application will require the applicant to install a land use action sign on the subject
property per the specifications provided in the public information sign handout (see land use forms on City website).
The applicant is solely responsible for the construction, installation, maintenance, removal, and any costs associated
with the sign.
Fees: In addition to the applicable building and construction fees, impact fees would be required for new single
family homes. Such fees would apply to all projects and would be calculated at the time of building permit
application and payable prior to building permit issuance. The 2017 impact fees are as follows:
A Transportation Impact Fee based on $5,430.85 per each new single family residence;
A Parks Impact Fee based on $2,740.07 per each new single family residence;
A Fire Impact fee of $718.56 per each new single family residence; and
Renton School District Impact Fee is $6,432 per each new single family residence.
A handout listing Renton’s development-related fees is available on the City of Renton website for your review.
Note: When the formal application materials are complete, the applicant is strongly encouraged to have one copy
of the application materials pre-screened at the 6th floor front counter prior to submitting the complete
application package. Please call Alex Morganroth, Associate Planner at 425-430-7219 for an appointment.
Expiration: Upon approval, the short plat is valid for two (2) years with a possible one (1) year extension (RMC 4-7-
070M).
