Locations: The Sunset
Terrace property is gen-
erally located at the in-
tersection of Sunset
Boulevard and Harring-
ton Avenue. An Environ-
mental Impact State-
ment (EIS) planned
action study area was
defined and bounded
approximately by NE
21st Street on the north,
Monroe Avenue NE on
the east, NE 7th Street
on the south, and Ed-
monds Avenue NE.
Within the EIS study
area, a master plan re-
development of Sunset
Terrace was evaluated,
as well as replacement
housing sites, and pri-
vate development in the
neighborhood.
Description: Since
2011, conceptual plans
have proposed redevel-
opment of Sunset Ter-
race and adjacent prop-
erties with mi.cr;d—
income, mixed -use resi-
dential and commercial
space and pliblic
amenities_ The redavPl-
opment included a 14o-1
unit replacement for all
100 existing public hous-
ing units either on -site at
Sunset Terrace or off -
site at locations within
the EIS study area. The
project required reloca-
tion of all residents in
Sunset Terrace and
RHA developed a relo-
cation plan and obtained
demolition and disposi-
tion permits granted by
the US Department of
Housing and Urban De-
velopment
Public amenities would
be integrated with the
development and could
include a community
gathering space; civic fa-
cilities; a new park/open
space; retail shopping
and commercial space;
and green infrastructure.
Conceptual master plans
were updated in 2014,
2016, and 2019 and
reevaluations under
NEPA and SEPA were
conducted and revised
Records of Decision no-
ticed. As planned, the
Sunset Terrace property
and associated proper-
ties owned or purchased
by RHA or by other pub-
lic or private developers
(e.g. Colpitts Develop-
ment Company, LLC)
would be developed with
up to 722 total units on
the Sunset Terrace
property including near-
by land swapfhousing
replacement sites. In
2016, the City and RHA
proposed the addition of
replacement housing for
the Sunset Terrace re-
development on five par-
cels located abutting the
Master Plan area and
evaluated in the 2011
EIS Study Area. In 2019,
additional housing unit
reallocations were pro-
posed. Compared to

zui i plans, tnere would
be a redistribution of
Master Plan dwelling
units within the Master
Plan area and the Ren-
ton Sunset neighbor-
hood. The proposed
changes would redistrib-
ute dwelling units, but
then: would be no net in-
crease in the total num-
ber of housing units in
the Master Plan area or
in the Sunset Area
neighborhood.
The activities proposed
comprise a project for
which the City of Renton
initiated and prepared a
SEPNNEPA EIS. A pub-
lic EIS scoping process
on the project occurred
from August 13 to Octo-
ber 18, 2010. The City of
Renton issued a Draft
EIS on December 17,
2010. Following a formal
comment period which
ended on January 31,
2011, the City issued a
Final EIS on April 1,
2011 In 2014, 2016,
and 2019 the City issued
reevaluations and pub-
lished a Revised Record
of Decision.
An Environmental Re-
view Record (ERR) that
documents the environ-
mental determinations
for this project is on file
at the City of Renton,

nity and Economic De-
velopment, Planning Di-

Record of Decision
In 2011, the City provid-
ed a notice of its Record
of Decision (ROD) for
the Renton Sunset Area
Community EIS. The
ROD documents the
City's consideration and
conclusions with respect
to environmental im-
pacts and mitigation
measures for various
elements of the environ-
ment, as required by
NEPA. The ROD does
not constitute approval
of development of the
proposal. The ROD is
also considered part of
the ERR. In 2014, 2016,
and 2019 the City issued
reevaluations and pub-
lished a Revised Record
of Decision. Copies of
the ROD as revised are
on file at the City of Ren-
ton, Department of Com-
munity and Economic

Division, 1055 S. Grady
