PROJECT NAME: Boeing Apron E
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, The Boeing Company, is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review,
Hearing Examiner Site Plan Review, and a variance in order to convert an existing parking lot (S1 Lot) into an aircraft
production area. The subject property (APN 0723059001) is to the east of the Cedar River along Lake Washington. The
site is home to the Boeing 737 plant and associated support buildings and is located in the UC- Urban Center zone. The
proposal includes three new outdoor production stalls for aircraft and a new 72,145 sq. ft. (footprint) paint hangar with
two bays. The existing fire station west of the proposed building would be retained. A sound-wall and landscape screening
is proposed along the Logan Ave N and N 6th St right-of-way. A parking lot with approximately 45 stalls would be
constructed south of the proposed new building. All work would occur further than 200 feet from the Cedar River OHWM.
Site access is proposed via a connection between the existing Apron D area to the west and the proposed work area. The
applicant is requesting a variance in order to seek relief from the parking lot landscaping requirements in RMC 4-4-070.
The project will result in new and replaced impervious surfaces, tree removal, and vegetation removal. The applicant
submitted a Drainage Report, Geotechnical Report, Traffic Impact Analysis, Noise Study, Light Impingement Study, and
Parking Analysis with the application.
