SUBJECT: Request for Standard Extension
Extension Cherie Lane Short Plat, LUA16-000964, ECF, MOD, SHPL-A
Dear Ms. Babcock,
This office has reviewed your request (February 10, 2020) to extend an approved short plat (File No. LUA16-
000964) for a period of one (1) year. The preliminary Cherie Lane Short Plat was approved on April 27, 2018 and
was valid for two (2) years. 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.
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 to an applicant who files a written request with the Administrator at least thirty (30) days
before the expiration of preliminary short plat approval, provided the Administrator finds that the applicant has
obtained issuance of a construction permit and has made sustained progress towards final construction,
engineering, and surveying necessary to record a final plat. Your request meets requirements of Renton
Municipal Code and qualifies for a one-time extension of one year, as an extension request was submitted more
than 30 days prior to the expiration of the preliminary short plat approval, the Construction Permit has been
issued and the applicant has made sustained progress towards final construction necessary for the recording of
the final short plat. 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 27, 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 27, 2021). In addition, please note that no additional extensions will be granted.
