PROJECT LOCATION: 4350 Lake Washington Blvd N (APN 3224059049)
APPLICANT/PROJECT CONTACT PERSON: Zachary Wallace, Flatiron-Lane, a Joint Venture,

REVIEWED:
Applicant documents are available online through the City of Renton

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Flatiron-Lane Joint Venture (FLJV), is requesting a Tier II
Temporary Use Permit to allow for the implementation of temporary field office trailers, a laydown yard and a staging
area for construction equipment and materials at the former Pan Abode site for five (5) years. The 7.18-acre parcel is
located west of I-405 and just north of the May Creek at the intersection of Seahawks Way and Lake Washington Blvd N
at 4350 Lake Washington Blvd N (3224059049). The site has a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation of
Commercial-Office-Residential and is zoned Commercial Office Residential (COR) and is in the Urban Design Overlay
District C. The site is mostly impervious surfaces with scant vegetation along the periphery. FLJV is proposing to use
four (4) existing buildings onsite and repurpose other portions of the site for nearly 150 surface parking stalls
(approximately 50,000 square feet for Flatiron-Lane JV and WSDOT vehicles) and storage containers. Two (2) existing
onsite buildings, located at the center of the site, are proposed to be demolished (approximately 10,428 square feet) in
order to fit the proposed temporary office trailers. A stormwater pond was constructed in the southwestern corner of
the site to collect and treat stormwater runoff. The height of the new field offices are anticipated to be 15 to 20 feet
tall. The proposed temporary buildings would include up to four (4) 9-plex office trailers at approximately 7,056 square
feet each with a capacity up to 28,224 square feet.
Access to the site is located at the north end of the property. FLJV is proposing to tie the office trailers into the existing
8” sewer line and the existing 12” water main on site for FLJV and WSDOT’s inspectors who would be stationed on the
parcel. No tree removal or landscaping improvements are proposed. The southern portion of the parcel is located within
the regulated shoreline area of May Creek (Reach B) and the shoreline designation on the project site is Shoreline High
Intensity. In addition, the parcel also contains flood hazards, regulated slopes and high seismic hazards. The applicant
submitted a Geotechnical Engineering Design Study, a Preliminary Technical Information Report and an Existing
Conditions Report.
