Subject: Request for Standard Extension
Huynh Short Plat, LUA17-000855, SHPL-A
Dear Mr. Monsef:
This office has reviewed your request (September 29, 2020) to extend an approved short plat (File No. LUA17-
000855) for a period of one (1) year. The preliminary short plat was set to expired on April 5, 2020 and was
granted a six (6) month emergency extension (attached) until October 6, 2020.
On April 20, 2020 the Renton City Council adopted an ordinance (Ordinance no. 5968) that temporarily
extended the validity of certain permits by a period of six (6) month due to on-going construction challenges
created by the COVID-19 outbreak. Due to the fact that the preliminary short plat approval expired 14 days
prior to Council adoption of the ordinance, the temporary six (6) month extension did not apply to your
project. However, since your project faced the same hardships created by the public health emergency as
other similar projects covered under the ordinance, the project was granted a temporary six (6) month
extension consistent with the language in the emergency ordinance. Therefore since the first extension was
granted in response to the current public health emergency, the project remains eligible for the standard
single-extension of up to one (1) year as authorized in RMC 4-7-070M.
In your request, you identify continuing challenges created by the COVID-19 outbreak as the reason for the
request, which staff concurs with. Pursuant to RMC 4-7-070M, the municipal code allows the original
approving body to issue a single extension of up to one (1) year. Therefore, your one (1) year short plat
extension request is approved. The one (1) year extension shall be measured using the expiration date of the
preliminary short plat approval after issuance of the temporary six (6) month extension (October 6, 2020) in
order to ensure consistency with the extensions granted to other projects under the emergency ordinance.
Please note that all construction must be completed or deferred and the final plat recorded in accordance
with City Code prior to the last day of the extension period (October 6, 2021). In addition, please note that no
additional extensions will be granted.
