Hi Angelea,
I hope you had a nice President’s day holiday!
Thanks for your response and we’ll get working on the items on the attached list.
The website that you reviewed is not up to date and inaccurate. Our business has changed. We have
moved away from metal fabrication. We’ve updated our address on the website, but we haven’t had the
time to update the remainder of our site. We are working with a design agency to update our site.
For some background: we were a metal fabrication business when were located at our previous
location. While operating a metal fabrication business, we learned that pivoting our work towards
research to find the best weather barrier system integration with metal flashing for commercial business
is a much better place for us to focus and is more aligned with our skills. Simply put, the purpose of the
lab is to research, investigate and test weather barrier systems to improve energy efficiency in existing
and new structures. Hence, the move to the new location and change in the direction of our operations.
When completing due diligence for this location, I was happy to see the code’s definition of laboratory,
light manufacturing:
LABORATORIES, LIGHT MANUFACTURING: A facility in which scientific research, investigation, testing,
or experimentation occur. Manufacturing of and sale of products may also occur.
This is the use that we desire for 411 Monroe because it perfectly aligns with our business model.
Thx
Ani

Hello Ani,
My apologies for the delay in getting these comments back to you. Please see the attached. In addition, I
have a question regarding your proposed use. You indicated in the pre-application meeting and in your
submittal that your proposed use is laboratory, light manufacturing. However, based on the website for
your business (First Metals, Inc.), your business appears to be a manufacturing and fabrication, light use

Hi Angelea,
Attached is all the documents I’ve filled out and prepared. Would you please take a look and see if
there’s anything missing/needs changing?
The 2 things I know are:
1. I need to have the owner notarize the Land use master application
2. The fee we need to pay.
Once I hear back from you and you think it all looks good, we’ll setup the intake appointment.

Hello Jeremy,
The garage bays are part of the structure and included in the square footage of the unit, which will be
occupied by the new tenant and new use. Just like restrooms and hallways are not specifically used for a
specific use, they are still counted towards square footage of a building, just as the garage would. After
discussing with our City Attorney, we have determined that the garage square footage is include as part
of the threshold, which is consistent with my comments in the pre-application meeting. If your desire is
to move this project forward as quickly as possible, it is suggested that you work on your submittal for
Environmental Review.
Have a great day!

Hi Angelea -
Happy New Year, and thank you for your attention to Ani's business license application.
I wanted to follow-up on a few items below. On October 24, 2019, Ani and I met with you to
discuss the property located at 414 Monroe Ave NE (PRE-19-000241). As background, the
City's pre-app materials list the Property as a 5,555 SF automotive repair shop use. The
automotive repair shop consists of two components: (1) an enclosed office area and (2) three
large bays where work occurs on vehicles. Here is a photo of the subject property, generally
showing the "office" to the left and the bays to the right.
The "office" area is less than 4k SF in size. At the meeting, Ani expressed her desire to change
the use of the "office" area from auto repair to "laboratory, light manufacturing." She also
inquired about using the three bays as enclosed parking associated with the desired laboratory
use. To be clear, Ani does not desire to use the three bays for the laboratory use. Ani also does
not need the three bays to satisfy the parking requirement as adequate parking exists on the side
of the building to satisfy the code's parking requirements.
Perhaps this is all a misunderstanding. I would agree that SEPA is triggered if Ani desired to use
the parking as a lab use. But she simply desires to use the bays as parking associated with the
commercial building.

DocuSign Envelope ID: B29E2B1E-FDFF-4E54-B7A5-1B044F1BB4C3
At the pre-application meeting, you and I discussed whether the covered parking would count
toward the SEPA threshold. At that meeting, we determined that if we could not reconcile this
issue, we would consult with the Department of Ecology. Following that meeting, I reviewed
Ecology's SEPA Handbook and provided the City with the following information demonstrating
that the parking should not count toward the 4k SF threshold.
Ecology’s SEPA Handbook elaborates on the GSF and parking exemption: “Examples of
categorically exempt construction activities include construction of four dwelling units or
less, commercial buildings with 4,000 square feet or less of gross floor area and no
more than 20 parking spaces, and water and sewer lines eight inches or less in
diameter.” Ecology’s SEPA Handbook, p. 15 (available here).
Here, the office is 4k SF of gross floor area and the bays are less than 20 parking spaces,
qualifying for the exemption. We continue to believe that the enclosed parking should not count
toward the 4k SF threshold per City Code, incorporated WACs, and Ecology's SEPA handbook.
Ani needs to have certainty that she can operate her business in conformance with City
Code. We hope that these property-specific facts are helpful for the City. However, if the City
continues to believe that the bays should count toward the 4k SF threshold, Ani simply desires to
keep change the use of the "office" to "laboratory, light manufacturing", while keeping the use of
the three bays as the established auto repair use.
With this approach, the change of use falls below the 4k SF threshold and is SEPA
exempt. Thus, the only remaining question is how to legally establish the lab use for the
record. At the pre-application meeting, you mentioned that the business license establishes the
use when the change of use does not require a building permit or environmental review. Can you
please confirm?
I am available to meet or talk on the phone. My number is 206.579.2397. I also ask that you
include me in any future correspondence with Ani.
Sincerely,
DocuSign Envelope ID: B29E2B1E-FDFF-4E54-B7A5-1B044F1BB4C3

Hello Ani,
I have not reviewed your signage proposal. Signs require a permit. Any signs will need to
comply with RMC 4-4-100.
Regarding question number 2, you can discuss with your assigned development
engineer. Their contact information is on the cover sheet of the pre-app comments. My
understanding is that you are occupying the whole building, which is what I was told by
you in the meeting. SEPA review is required.

Am I correct that to be code compliment the change of use to Labrarory-light
manufacturing is allowed and points 1 & 2 below are meeting cities
requirements?
I understand that your position is the auto bays sq ft puts me over the threshold for

Would I be subject to SEPA if I desire Change of use for interior of building not
including the auto bays?

Dear Donna,
Thank you for your email. I have been trying to
learn about applicable code requirements to legally
operate my business in the City of Renton. To that
end, I scheduled and attended a pre-application
meeting with City Staff on October 24, 2019. At
the pre-application meeting, the City determined
that most of the items in the pre-application packet
that you forwarded did not apply to our operations
and proposal for the use of the building. Following
the meeting, we agreed that only two items
pertained to us because we were only changing the
use, not doing any interior or exterior
improvements:
1. New signage meets applicable requirements.
We are in the process of changing the sign
and we will follow the applicable
requirements.
2. Include PRV (pressure reducing valve) from
the water main to our location. I have
confirmed that the PRV was installed as part
of a new meter in 2013 before us, so we are
in compliance.
Following the pre-application meeting, the only
outstanding issue was whether the change of use to
the permitted laboratory use triggered SEPA
review. In an email dated 10/25/19, my attorney
explained to the City of Renton that our change of
use in the building is SEPA exempt because it falls
below the applicable SF threshold. The email
DocuSign Envelope ID: B29E2B1E-FDFF-4E54-B7A5-1B044F1BB4C3
explained that this conclusion is consistent with
City Code, the Dept of Ecology's SEPA handbook,
and previous City Staff direction. The 10/25 email
is pasted below. I also followed up with the City on
this matter on Oct 30th. It is my understanding that
we have addressed the only outstanding item from
our pre-application meeting.
Based on my meetings and correspondence with the
City, I believe that I have done everything that is
necessary to legally operate in the City of
Renton. Please let me know if I can answer any
follow-up questions, or if you believe that there is
anything else that I need to address. As I'm sure
you understand, I want to be code compliant but I'm
also eager to put these zoning issues behind me so I
can focus on running my business.

Happy late Thanksgiving.
I received a letter from the city
rejecting the license because I
mistakenly wrote research-light
industrial instead of laboratory-light
industrial.
I know based on our pre-app
meeting with the city of Renton and
the zoning and use table that
laboratory is allowed at our location.
Our business is a laboratory. How do
you suggest I proceed from here?
Thx
