(cont. next page) Project Location: Southeast of NW 6th Street, west of Renton Municipal Airport Site Area: 3.3 acres (144,975 sq ft) RECOMMENDA TlON Staff recommends that the Environmental Review Committee issue a Determination of , Non-Significance -Mitigated (DNS-M) Project Location Map ERe Rpt Rainier Station City of Renton PIBIPW Department ~ RAINIER STATION SITE DEVELOPM~ PLAN ERG REPORT of February 14, 2006 PROJECT DESCRIPTION CONTINUED: EnVirc4Jntal Review Committee Staff Report LUA05-155, SA-H, V-H, LLA, ECF Page 20f6 The project site is located within the Rainier Commercial Corridor, and currently contains three auto repair and sales centers which will be removed prior to development of the proposed project. The project will consist of three buildings with heights from one to three stories and building footprints ranging from 7,600 sq ft to 12,000 sq ft. Proposed building heights are approximately 38 ft for Buildings One and Two, and 45 ft for Building Three, which is consistent with the height restriction of 45 ft required for the neighboring Renton Municipal Airport. Vehicular access will be provided by two main driveways along Rainier Ave. N, as well as a third loading-only driveway that will serve Building Three. A two-level parking garage will be located in the northwest corner of the site. The proposal also includes the construction of shoring walls and retaining walls and rockeries as recommended in the Geotechnical Report. Grading and excavation work includes the stripping of topsoils and unsuitable materials and cuts/fills, particularly along the western property line, resulting in a net export of approximately 4,400 cu yd of material. Off-site improvements will include a new frontage sidewalk and landscaping along Rainier Ave. N, landscaping of the interior and parking lots, and sewer/water improvements that will serve the site and adjacent properties. The subject project includes portions of two parcels (to be referred to as the South Parcel and the North Parcel). No critical areas are located on the project site. The applicant is requesting a 25 ft buffer reduction from an offsite Class II wetland for the subject project, through the Rainier Mixed Use South Parking Lot (Chang's Parking Lot) application (LUA04-093 and LUA05-133) that is currently scheduled for a public hearing on March 7, 2006. Adjacent development includes: East: Rainier Ave. NE and Renton Municipal Airport West: Single-family residential and undeveloped property (R-8 zoning) North: Single-family residential and undeveloped property (R-8 zoning). South: Chang's Mongolian Grill restaurant. The site is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA) as designated on the City's zoning map, and Employment Area - Commercial (EA-C) on the City's Comprehensive Plan. B. RECOMMENDATION Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials make the following Environmental Determination: DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE Issue DNS with 14 day Appeal Period.

The Washington State Department of Transportation has requested to review the Transportation Impact Analysis to determine if the proposed development will have any impacts on the State Highway System, particularly SR 167 and SR 900. If it is determined that impacts will result, mitigation may be required. Contact: Felix Palisoc, WSDOT Developer Services, (206) 440-4713. Plan Review -General 1. All plans shall conform to the Renton Drafting Standards. 2. A construction permit is required. The permit requires three copies of the drawings, two copies of the drainage report, a construction estimate, application and appropriate fee (this may be submitted at the sixth floor customer service counter). Plan Review -Surface Water 1. Application for commercial building permits will trigger a separate review of surface water and storm drainage design. 2. If the proposed parking garage will have floor drains, they must be connected into the sanitary sewer main. Prior to receiving building permits, the drainage plan shall be revised to reflect this requirement. 3. Final location of the storm drainage lines will be determined during review of the civil engineering plans to be submitted after preliminary approval. 4. The Surface Water System Development Charge is $0.265 per sq ft (but not less than $759) of new impervious area. This fee shall be paid prior to issuance of construction permits. Plan Review-Sanitarv Sewer 1. Application for commercial building permits will trigger a separate review of sanitary sewer design. 2. The applicant is required to coordinate the relocation and/or expansion of the water and sewer mains with the 6th Street Short Plat (LUA04-139). 3. If any uses are proposed that will likely result in discharge of oil or grease, a grease removal system shall be installed, of a design to be determined at the time of final plan review. 4. The Sanitary Sewer System Development Charge is $0.142 per sq ft. This fee is collected at the time a construction permit is issued. Any parcel that currently has water and/or sewer service is eligible for a pro-rated charge. The project will be reviewed at a later date to determine how much redevelopment credit applies to the charge. Plan Review -Water 1. A looped water line shall be installed around the proposed buildings or complex of buildings for fireflow demands that exceed 2500 GPM. The minimum size for the interior loop shall be 10" diameter, with a maximum of three new hydrants allowed on the interior line. Additional hydrants that are required shall be connected to the existing 12"/16" line in Rainier Ave. N. 2. Based on the general utility plan submitted with the project application, the conceptual layout of the proposed 10" interior water line appears to meet code requirements; however, some adjustment of the line location may be required during review of civil engineering plans to be submitted at a later date. 3. The Water System Development Charge is $0.273 per sq ft if not previously paid. The fee is collected at the time a construction permit is issued. Any parcel that currently has water and/or sewer service is eligible for a pro- rated-charge. The project will be reviewed at a later date to determine how much redevelopment credit applies to the charge. D. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS In compliance with RCW 43.21 C. 240, the following project environmental review addresses only those project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations. 1. Earth Impacts: Steep slopes are present on the west and north sides of the property. However, in a letter dated April 12, 2004, the City of Renton issued a modification that allowed filling and grading to occur on identified steep slopes in the northeastern portion of the site which were identified as man-made, per RMC 4-3-050.J5.bii. The modification did not approve development or construction on the identified slopes, and remaining onsite slopes were not included in the exception. The applicant submitted a Geotechnical Report prepared by The Riley Group, Inc., dated June 2, 2003 with the land use application. The report addressed soils, groundwater, landslide hazards including historical ERG Rpt Rainier Station City of Renton PIB/PW Department • RAINIER STATION SITE DEVELOPM~ PLAN ERG REPORT of February 14, 2006 Envirc4llntat Review Committee Staff Report LUA05-155, SA-H, V-H, LLA, ECF Page 50f6 slide activity, foundation systems and site preparation. The report discussed conditions for multiple parcels under the same owner, including conditions for the subject site. The geotechnical report discussed the proposed commercial development along Rainier Ave. N. and stated that potential impacts to the slopes would be at the toe. The geotechnical report stated that no cutting into the toe of the slope should be done due to the steepness of the slope, which is prone to surficial creep and ravelling over time. There is also evidence of surficial landslide activity in the past on the northeastern slopes. The applicant's proposal would meet the toes of the slopes with some grading, fill and retaining. Additionally, underbrush would be removed on the toes of the slopes and landscaping would be added. In order to reduce the potential for erosion and control sedimentation to the site and to adjacent properties, staff recommends additional mitigation, including a requirement that the project be designed and comply with the recommendations of the Geotechnical Report, and with the Department of Ecology's (DOE) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements, outlined in Volume II of the 2001 Stormwater Management Manual. Mitigation Measures: 1. The project shall be required to be designed and comply with the Department of Ecology's (DOE) Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements, outlined in Volume II of the 2001 Stormwater Management Manual. 2. The applicant shall comply with the requirements of the Geotechnical Engineering Report prepared by The Riley Group, Inc., dated June 2, 2003, to maintain soil stability, prevent landslides, and protect the subject property and adjacent properties from adverse impacts that may result from alteration of onsite steep slopes or nearby areas. Policy Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations. 2. Wetlands/Streams Impacts: The applicant submitted a Wetland Delineation & Mitigation Report prepared by The Riley Group, Inc.,dated July 22, 2004. The purpose of the study was to delineate wetlands, evaluate the functions and values of wetlands and any streams, determine classification and buffers, determine impacts and present a conceptual mitigation plan. The study delineated an approximately 16,600 sq. ft. Category 3 wetland within the ravine associated with the Rainier Mixed Use South Parking Lot site (the South Wetland), and an approximately 21,700 sq ft Category 2 wetland on the north parcel (the North Wetland). As part of the development proposal for the parking lot, a portion of the South Wetland would be filled (3,591 sq ft of impact includes 2,017 sq ft of wetland and 1,574 sq ft of buffer). Mitigation of these impacts is proposed to be off-site, to the North Wetland, at a 1.5: 1 ratio resulting in 3,591 sq ft of creation and 1,800 sq. ft. of enhancement. The applicant is requesting buffer averaging to the North Wetland to accommodate the development of Rainier Station. The North Wetland is classified as a Category 2 wetland in that it lies within the headwaters of a watercourse. This watercourse is piped to Lake Washington and has minimal stream function. Although the eastern end of the wetland was historically filled, the wetland area shows little evidence of human related physical alteration such as diking, ditching or channelization. The wetland report indicates that the North Wetland's existing buffer area on the east side is nearly non- functional since the area lying within 50 feet of the wetland edge contains fill, debris and blackberries and would not support desirable native vegetation. The proposed increase to the buffer area on the south edge of the North Wetland 100 ft wide at its widest point, with a total area of 5,028 sq ft. On December 13, 2005, the City's wetland consultant, The Watershed Company, provided an analysis of the wetland delineations, classifications, and proposed mitigation measures. This analysis indicated that the South Wetland should be considered a Category 2 wetland as it is located at the headwaters of a watercourse. As of the date of this report (February 14, 2006), the classification has not yet been resolved. If the South Wetland is determined to meet the criteria for a Category 2 wetland, the required buffers and ERG Rpt Rainier Station City of Renton P/B/PW Department .. RAINIER STATION SITE DEVELOPMEfff PLAN ERG REPORT of February 14, 2006 Enviro.tal Review Committee Staff Report . / LUA05-155, SA-H, V-H, LLA, ECF Page 60f6 proposed mitigation measures will be increased according to code requirements (RMC 4-3-050), which may affect the proposal for reduced beffers on theeNorth Wetland. Mitigation Measures: 1. Approval of the Rainier Station development proposal is subject to approval of a reduction of the required 50 ft buffer from an offsite Class II wetland to 25 ft, as part of the site development and variance application for the Rainier Mixed Use South Parking Lot (Chang's Parking Lot) -LUA04-093 and LUA05-133. If the buffer reduction is not approved as part of that development proposal, the applicant shall be required to submit a request for the buffer reduction as part of the site development plan for the Rainier Station application. Policy Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations 3. Transportation Impacts: A Traffic Impact Analysis was prepared by Mirai Transportation Planning & Engineering, dated November 14, 2005. The proposal would result in an increase in traffic trips to the City's street system; therefore, the appropriate Traffic Mitigation Fee will be imposed. The Traffic Mitigation Fee is calculated at a rate of $75.00 per additional generated average daily trip. The total average daily trips is estimated at 1,154. Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall pay a Transportation Mitigation Fee of $75.00 for each new average daily trip, to mitigate for the proposed 1,154 new average daily trips that will be generated by the proposed development. Credit will be given for the existing business operations. Fees are payable prior to the issuance of a building permit. Policy Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations; Transportation Mitigation Fee Resolution No. 3100, Ordinance 4527. 4. Fire Protection Impacts: Fire Prevention staff indicates that the applicant shall provide required improvements and fees to offset the impacts associated with the new development upon the City's Fire Emergency Services. A Fire Mitigation Fee of $0.52 per gross square foot of commercial area is required. Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall pay a Fire Mitigation Fee of $0.52 per square foot, for a current estimated total of $7,852 for Building One, $8,320 for Building Two, and $10,920 for Building Three. Fees are payable prior to the issuance of building permits for each building. Policy Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations; Fire Mitigation Fee Resolution No. 2913, Ordinance 4527. E. COMMENTS OF REVIEWING DEPARTMENTS The proposal has been circulated to City Departmental/Divisional Reviewers for their review. Where applicable, these comments have been incorporated into the text of this report as Mitigation Measures and/or Notes to Applicant. ~ Copies of all Review Comments are contained in the Official File. __ Copies of all Review Comments are attached to this report. Environmental Determination Appeal Process: Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 PM, March 10, 2006. If no appeals are filed by this date, the action will become final. Appeals must be filed in writing together with the required $75.00 application fee with: Hearing Examiner, City of Renton, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055.

DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: • CITY OF RENTON PLANNING/BUILDING/PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM January 19,2006 Keri Weaver Arneta Henninger X7298 RAINIER STATION APPLICATION LUA 05-155 601 RAINIER AVE N I have completed my review on this application for a site development plan approval for commercial space in 3 buildings with a parking garage located in Section 7, Township 23N, Range 5E and have the following comments. Existing Water --There is an existing 12" watermain located in Rainier Ave S. There is an existing 12" watermain located in NW 6th St. See City of Renton water drawing number W549 and W716 for more information. This project site is located in the 196 Water Pressure Zone. Sanitary --There is an existing 8" sanitary sewer main in Rainier Ave N. There is an existing 8" sanitary sewer main that runs from the cul-de-sac in NW 6th St through the site and connects to the main located in Rainier Ave N. . Storm --There are storm drainage facilities in Rainier Ave S. Aquifer --This project is not located in the Aquifer Protection Zone. Reguirements: WATER: • Based on the fire flow analysis using the City's water system hydraulic model, the existing 12" to 16" water line in Rainier Ave N. can deliver 3,500 gpm, with a minimum of20 psi residual pressure during a fire. Static pressure is about 60 psi at fmish floor elevation 50 feet. • The existing system can deliver the required fire flow demand for the Rainier Station development, which ranges from 2,750 gpm to 3,500 gpm based on the Fire Marshal's calculations. • Per City code, a looped water line must be installed around the proposed buildings or complex of buildings ifthe.fireflow demand exceeds 2,500 gpm. The minimum size for the Rainier Station Application Rainier Ave S • • interior looped shall be 10-inch diameter, with a maximum of 3 new hydrants on the interior line. Additional hydrant(s), required by codes, need to be connected to the existing 12"/16" line in Rainier Ave N. • Based on the general utility plan submitted with the project application for environmental review, the conceptual layout of the proposed 10" interior water line appears to meet Code requirements, however some adjustment to the location of the line will be determined during our review ofthe actual civil plans for the project to be submitted at a later date. • Any new construction must have one fire hydrant capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 GPM and shall be located within 150 feet of the structure and additional hydrants (also capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 GPM) within 300 feet of the structure. This distance is measured along the travel route. The number of additional hydrants required is dependent on the calculated frreflow. • Water System Development Charges of $0.273 per square foot gross area may be required if not previously paid. The Development Charges are collected as part of the construction permit. Please note that any parcel that currently has water and or sewer service is eligible for a prorated system development charge. Your project will be reviewed to determine how much redevelopment credit applies. SANITARY SEWER: • A commercial building permit will trigger a separate review. • This project needs to have a close coordination with the relocation of the water and sewer main and the 6th street short plat (LUA04-139). • If the parking garage will have floor drains, then they need to be connected into the sanitary sewermam. • Any use in the building subject to oils or grease shall require the installation of a grease removal system as determined at the time of plan review. • System Development Charges (SDC) are $0.142 per square foot. These fees are collected at the time a construction permit is issued. Please note that any parcel that currently has water and or sewer service is eligible for a prorated system development charge. Your project will be reviewed to determine how much redevelopment credit applies. STREET IMPROVEMENTS: • A commercial building permit will trigger a separate review. • Street improvements to include curb, gutter and sidewalk may be required on this site(s). I:\Projects\RAINIERSTAGF.doc\cor Rainier Station Application Rainier Ave S • • All street lighting shall be per City of Renton standards and specifications if not existing. • There is a concern regarding the design location of the northerly driveway approach. This will be reviewed in greater detail once the civil engineering plans are submitted and the lot lines and dimensions are shown. • The Transportation Mitigation fees are $86,550. This is a SEPA condition. TRANSPORTATION: Review of the Traffic Impact Analysis (dated November 14,2005) and Site Plan (dated November 21,2005) has resulted in the following comments. Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) • Trip generation for the PM Peak Hour (Table 2) should be based on the ITE Trip Generation Rate for Shopping Center (ITE 820), as was done for the AM Peak Hour trip generation. However, the resulting increase in PM Peak Hour trips would not be significant enough to warrant revising the TIA, including the conclusions and recommendations. Therefore, the TIA is acceptable. • Based on the new trips generated, the trip distribution, and trip assignment to the existing street system included in the TIA, a level-of-service analysis, particularly at the Rainier Avenue/Airport Way intersection, is not necessary. • Also, a signal warrant analysis at one of the site driveways on Rainier Avenue is not necessary. Site Plan • We strongly recommend standard driveway aprons at the three access points serving the proposed development site on Rainier Avenue. If the decision is to use curb returns at these access points, then we recommend a minimum 25-foot curb return radius in order to expedite the right-turn vehicle movement to and from Rainier Avenue. • As shown on the Site Plan, the available on-site queuing space between Rainier Avenue and the entrance to the closest parking lot abutting Rainier Avenue is acceptable. STORM DRAINAGE: • A commercial building permit will trigger a separate review. • A conceptual drainage report and plan were submitted and are in order. • If the parking garage will have floor drains, then they need to be connected into the sanitary sewer main. The drainage plan needs to be revised to reflect this. I:\Projects\RAINIERSTAGF.doc\cor Rainier Station Application Rainier Ave S • • Some adjustment to the location of the storm lines will be determined during our review of the actual civil plans for the project to be submitted at a later date. • The Surface Water SDC fees are $0.265 (but not less than $759) per square foot of new impervious area. These fees are collected at the time a construction permit is issued. GENERAL: • All required utility, drainage and street improvements will require separate plan submittals prepared according to City of Renton drafting standards by a licensed Civil Engineer. • All civil engineering plans shall be tied into a minimum of two of the City of Renton current Horizontal and Vertical Control network. • Permit application must include an itemized cost estimate for these improvements. The fee for review and inspection of these improvements is 5% of the first $100,000 of the estimated construction costs; 4% of anything over $100,000 but less than $200,000, and 3% of anything over $200,000. Half of the fee must be paid upon application for building and construction permits, and the remainder when the permits are issued. There may be additional fees for water service related expenses. See Drafting Standards. • Please note that the construction permit may not be issued until the Final Wetland and Stream Mitigation plans have been approved. cc: Kayren K.
