addition and covered parking area for their online grocery pickup service (OGP). The existing 150,158 sq. ft. building is
located on a 12.2 acre site at 743 Rainier Ave S (APN 1923059048). The subject parcel is located in the Commercial
Arterial (CA) zone and the proposed addition and parking area would be located on the north side of the building. The
proposal also includes the addition of four new uncovered stalls and six new covered stalls to be utilized by online grocery
pick up customers. As a whole, the proposed project would result in a net loss of 15 parking stalls due to the building
addition. New directional signage is also proposed within the existing parking lot in order to guide customers to the
pickup location. Multiple landscape islands are proposed for removal in order to construct a new drive aisle and is
estimated to result in the loss of five (5) trees. The applicant estimates that the project would create a total of 1,425 sq.
ft. of new impervious surface. The site is located within a High Seismic Hazard. The applicant submitted a Drainage
Report, Traffic Impact Analysis, and Environmental Checklist with the application.
When the DNS becomes appealable, the appeal period will be 14 days.
