July 16, 2019. During our review, staff has determined that additional information is necessary in
order to proceed further.
The City of Renton’s Community Economic Development Department has reviewed the project
and would like an independent qualified parking and transportation professional to conduct an
Independent Secondary Review of the submitted Boeing Renton Apron E Traffic Impact Analysis
prepared by Transpo Group (dated June 10, 2019) for the effectiveness of any proposed mitigating
measures or programs. The contract would be executed with a qualified professional from the
City of Renton’s small works roster in order to provide a professional opinion regarding the
proposed transportation and parking changes. No additional data would collected by the third
party beyond what has been provided in the submittedstudy. Upon the conclusion of third party
study review, the findings would be provided to the City in a written letter. The Independent
Secondary Review would be paid at the applicant’s expense, and the Administrator shall select
the third-party review professional.
The applicant shall also be responsible for following:
1. Evaluating the potential to provide a greater building setback from the eastern property
line along Logan Ave N in order to reduce to visual impact of the proposed structure.
2. Evaluating the potential to modulate the sound wall in order to reduce the visual impact
of a 25- foot tall steel wall along a public right-of-way.
3. Submitting an updated noise study that 1) Provides justification for the stated goal of
limiting ambient noise increases to 10 dBa or less, 2) Evaluates potential noise impacts to
the Cedar River Trail to the west of the project site using ambient noise levels as a base,
3) Identifies the locations of the measuring equipment used to measure ambient noise
levels at the adjacent sites, 4) Makes a specific finding with regards to the expected noise
levels (measured in dBa) at the adjacent uses, 5) Identifies additional noise mitigation

measures that the applicant could feasibly incorporate at the site after project completion
should actual noise levels occur that are higher than anticipated , 6) Discusses whether or
not extending the sound wall further west would reduce noise impacts to any of the
adjacent sites.

information. Please contact me at (425) 430-7219 if you have any questions.
