The deferral decision was based on the following findings of facts: 1. The Family First Community Center project is a City of Renton Capital Improvement Project that will be constructed using grant funding. 2. City of Renton is required to lease the land prior to receiving the grant funding to construct the project. 3. Renton School District is not allowed to lease land without the Short Plat being recorded. 4. City of Renton RMC 4-9-060 and 4-8-120 requires improvements to be constructed or deferred prior to Short Plat recording/approval. 5. Civil Construction Plans defining the improvements have been submitted to the City under Civil Construction Permit C17001559. 6. All funds associated with the project will be in direct City control during construction and therefore no security device is required for a deferral. The deferral for the improvements has been approved for a period of five (5) years from the date of this letter (September 8, 2025) or the expiration of Family First Community Center’s Land Use Decision for the Preliminary Short Plat (LUA20- 000024), whichever comes first. According to RMC 4-8-110, you have 14 days from the date of this letter to appeal the administrative determination. Appeals are to be filed in writing, with the City Clerk and require a filing fee in the amount of $500.00. Additional information regarding the appeal process may be obtained from the Renton City Clerk’s office by calling (425) 430-6510. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Michael Sippo at (425) 430-7298.

Grady Way Renton WA 98057 Re: Deferral Request for Completing Improvements Prior to Short Plat Approval Family First Community Center Short Plat, LUA20‐000024, SHPL‐A Michael, The City of Renton desires to enter into a long‐term land lease with the Renton School District for property owned by the RSD in order to construct and operate the Family First Community Center. The property is located at 16022 116th Ave SE, Southeast, Renton, WA. 98056 – Parcel No 282305‐9034. The Renton School District has agreed to lease a portion of the above property to the city. As they are unable to lease a portion of a parcel, the RSD has submitted an application for a short‐plat of the property in order to establish a separate parcel that can then be leased to the City of Renton. Until the short plat have been approved, the RSD will not be able to execute the land lease with the city. Until the lease is executed, the City of Renton will be unable to commence any construction on the property. Per the terms of the City of Renton’s short‐plat approval process, short plats must be recorded after all improvements are completed. However in the case of the Family First Community Center, construction cannot commence until the short‐plat is approved and the lease is executed. Therefore, a deferral is requested to allow the short plat to be recorded prior to any work commencing. It is anticipated that, once started, construction will take approximately 12 month to complete. All required work will be done within that period and prior to full building occupancy. Please let me know if additional information is required. Sincerely, Russ Woodruff, Capital Project Coordinator City of Renton – Community Services
