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.
Fences/Retaining Walls – If the applicant intends to install any fences as part of this
project, the location must be designated on the landscape plan. A fence taller than six
feet (6') requires a building permit. New or existing fencing would need to comply with
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.
Walls over 6-feet in height shall be terraced pursuant to RMC 4-4-040. Additionally,
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.
Parking – The following ratios would be applicable to the site:
Use Square Footage of
Use
Ratio Required
Spaces
Day care
centers
Approx. 9,000 sf Min & Max: 1 space / each
employee and 2 drop-
off/pick-up spaces within 100
feet of the main entrance for
every 25 clients of the
program.
31
Based on the proposal for 20 employees and 138 students, staff calculates that a
minimum and a maximum of 31 spaces would be required for the proposed use. The
proposal for 62 spaces on the site would exceed the maximum number of spaces
permitted. The applicant will be required at the time of formal land use application to
provide detailed parking information (i.e. stall and drive aisle dimensions) and
calculations of the subject site. A twenty five percent (25%) reduction or increase from
the minimum or maximum number of parking spaces may be granted for
nonresidential uses through site plan review if the applicant can justify the
modification to the satisfaction of the Administrator. Justification might include, but is
not limited to, quantitative information such as sales receipts, documentation of
customer frequency, and parking standards of nearby cities. It should be noted that
the parking regulations specify standard stall dimensions. Surface parking stalls must be
a minimum of 9 feet x 20 feet, compact dimensions of 8½ feet x 16 feet, and parallel

stall dimensions of 9 feet x 23 feet; compact surface parking spaces shall not account for
more than 30 percent of the spaces in the surface parking lots.
ADA accessible stalls must be a minimum of 8 feet in width by 20 feet in length, with an
adjacent access aisle of 8 feet in width for van accessible spaces. The appropriate
amount of ADA accessible stalls based on the total number of spaces must be provided.
The applicant is required to provide bicycle parking based on 10% of the required
number of parking stalls and meet the standards of RMC 4-4-080F11b for location and
access to bicycle parking.
Access: Access is proposed via driveway access off of SE Renton Issaquah Road and Nile
Avenue NE. The width of any driveway shall not exceed thirty feet (30') exclusive of the
radii of the returns or the taper section, the measurement being made parallel to the
centerline of the street roadway.
Refuse and Recycling Areas – Refuse and recycling areas need to meet the requirements
of RMC 4-4-090, “Refuse and Recyclables Standards”. There are general requirements
for all uses for location, signage, screening, and setbacks for collection areas and specific
requirements. The proposed use would be considered an ‘other nonresidential
development’ which requires a minimum of 3 square feet per every 1,000 square feet of
building gross floor area shall be provided for recyclable deposit areas and a minimum
of 6 square feet per 1,000 square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided for
refuse deposit areas with a total minimum area of 100 sf. Based on a gross floor area of
9,000 square feet, a minimum of 27 square feet would be needed for recyclables area
and a minimum of 54 square feet would be needed for refuse. These two combined are
less than the minimum of 100 square feet, therefore 100 square feet would be
required for both. The proposed trash enclosure would have an area of approximately
158 square feet, which exceeds this requirement.
Critical Areas: Greene’s Creek, a Type Ns stream has been identified off-site to the west.
Type Ns streams require a 50-foot buffer with a 15-foot building setback. A stream
study would be required with the formal land use application, if impacts are proposed
to the stream or buffer area a preliminary mitigation plan and a supplemental stream
study would also be required.
A wetland is mapped on the northwest corner of the project site, wetlands have the
following buffer requirements:

A wetland delineation and report would be required with the formal land use
application. If impacts are proposed to the wetland or buffer area a preliminary
wetland mitigation plan would also be required.
Streams, wetlands, and associated buffer areas located on site are required to be
protected within a Native Growth Protection Easement (NGPE), which shall be
recorded over the site prior to building permit approval.
Environmental Review: The proposal would be subject to Environmental (SEPA) Review
as the proposal includes the construction of a building in excess of 4,000 square feet
with parking for more than 20 vehicles.
Permit Requirements: The proposal would require a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use
Permit (CUP), Administrative Site Plan Review and Environmental (SEPA) Review. The
land use applications would be reviewed concurrently within an estimated time frame
of 10-12 weeks. The 2016 fees would be $5,150 ($2,500 CUP fee + $1,500 + $1,000
