TO: Matt Herrera, Senior Planner
FROM: Brianne Bannwarth, Development Engineering Manager
SUBJECT: Traffic Concurrency Test – Sunridge Townhomes Phase II;
LUA20-000039
The applicant is requesting administrative site plan review, environmental review, and one
modification for a proposed 11 unit townhome project with associated improvements located on
a vacant 0.77 acre Residential Multifamily (RMF) lot located on SE Petrovitsky Rd east of 120th
Ave SE (APN 0739000050). The proposal would result in a residential density of approximately 16
dwelling units per net acre. Vehicle access to the site would be provided from abutting properties
to the west and east 12228 and 12316 SE Petrovitsky Rd, respectively. The development would
contain 22 vehicle parking spaces with each unit providing one enclosed space and a surface lot
along the eastern portion of the property that would accommodate 11 spaces. The applicant has
submitted a modification request related to the required street frontage improvements along
the project site.
The proposed development would generate a reduction of approximately 60 net new average
weekday daily trips. During the weekday AM peak hour, the project would generate
approximately 4 net new trips (1 inbound and 3 outbound). During the weekday PM peak hour,
the project would generate approximately 5 net new trips (3 inbound and 2 outbound). The
proposed project passes the City of Renton Traffic Concurrency Test per RMC 4-6-070.D as
follows:

Traffic Concurrency Test Criteria Pass
Implementation of citywide Transportation Plan Yes
Within allowed growth levels Yes
Project subject to transportation mitigation or impact fees Yes
Site specific street improvements to be completed by project Yes
Traffic Concurrency Test Passes
Evaluation of Test Criteria
Implementation of citywide Transportation Plan: The City’s investment in completion of the
forecast traffic improvements is 130% of the scheduled expenditure through 2020.
Within allowed growth levels: As shown on the attached citywide traffic concurrency summary,
the calculated citywide trip capacity for concurrency with the city adopted model for 2019 is
1,708 trips, which provides sufficient capacity to accommodate approximately 5 additional trips
from this project. A resulting 1,703 trips are remaining.
Project subject to transportation mitigation or impact fees: The project will be subject to
transportation impact fees at time of building permit for the project.
Site specific street improvements to be completed by project: The applicant has submitted a
street modification that will be reviewed as part of the land use application. The project will be
required to complete frontage street improvements prior to Certificate of Occupancy. Any
additional off-site improvements identified through SEPA or land use approval will also be
completed prior to Certificate of Occupancy.
Background Information on Traffic Concurrency Test for Renton
The City of Renton Traffic Concurrency requirements for proposed development projects are
covered under Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-6-070. The specific concurrency test requirement
is covered in RMC 4-6-070.D, which is listed for reference:
D. CONCURRENCY REVIEW PROCESS:
1. Test Required: A concurrency test shall be conducted by the Department for each
nonexempt development activity. The concurrency test shall determine consistency with
the adopted Citywide Level of Service Index and Concurrency Management System
established in the Transportation Element of the Renton Comprehensive Plan, according
to rules and procedures established by the Department. The Department shall issue an
initial concurrency test result describing the outcome of the concurrency test.

2. Written Finding Required: Prior to approval of any nonexempt development activity
permit application, a written finding of concurrency shall be made by the City as part of
the development permit approval. The finding of concurrency shall be made by the
decision maker with the authority to approve the accompanying development permits
required for a development activity. A written finding of concurrency shall apply only to
the specific land uses, densities, intensities, and development project described in the
application and development permit.
3. Failure of Test: If no reconsideration is requested, or if upon reconsideration a project
fails the concurrency test, the project application shall be denied by the decision maker
with the authority to approve the accompanying development activity permit application.
The Concurrency Management System established in the Transportation Element on page XI-65
of the Comprehensive Plan states the following:
Based upon the test of the citywide Transportation Plan, consideration of growth levels
included in the LOS-tested Transportation Plan, payment of a Transportation Mitigation
Fee, and an application of site specific mitigation, development will have met City of
Renton concurrency requirements.
