DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE: March 18, 2021 TO: Pre-Application File No. 21-000059 FROM: Jill Ding, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Palmero Renton Project Short Plat 191XX 120th Ave SE Parcel No. 6198400340 General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre-application for the above-referenced development proposal. The following comments on development and permitting issues are based on the pre-application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant and the codes in effect on the date of review . The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision-makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Community & Economic Development Administrator, Public Works Administrator, Planning Director, Development Services Director, and City Council). Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The Development Regulations are available online at https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Renton/. Project Proposal: The applicant is proposing to subdivide an existing lot into four lots and one stormwater tract. The subject property is located at 191XX 120th Ave SE (parcel no. 6198400340). The project site is currently vacant and totals approximately 44,866 sq. ft. (1.03 acres) in area. The site has a Comprehensive Plan Land Use of Designation of Residential Low Density (RLD) and a zoning designation of Residential-4 (R-4) dwelling units per net acre (du/ac). The proposed lots would range is size from 10,661 sq. ft. to 12,163 sq. ft. Access to the proposed lots is proposed via driveway access off of 120th Ave SE. A Wellhead Protection Area, zone 2 is mapped on the project site. Current Use: The site is currently vacant. Zoning/Density Requirements: There is no minimum density requirement. The maximum density permitted in the R-4 zone is 4.0 dwelling units per net acre (du/ac). Net density is calculated after the deduction of areas required for public right-of-way dedication, shared driveway tract, and critical areas from the gross site area. The proposal for 4 lots on the 1.03 gross acre site would result in a gross density of 3.88 du/ac, which is within the density range permitted for the R-4 zone. A completed density worksheet, demonstrating compliance with the net density requirements, would be required at the time of formal land use application. Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development Standards for Single Family Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application (noted as “R-4 standards” herein). Palmero Renton Project Short Plat, PRE21-000059 Page 2 of 4 March 18, 2021 Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size permitted in the R-4 zone, is 9,000 square feet for parcels being subdivided. Minimum lot width is 70 feet for interior lots and 80 feet for corner lots; minimum lot depth is 100 feet. The proposed lots would have areas ranging from 10,661 sq. ft.to 12,163 sq. ft., which would exceed the minimum lot size required in the R-4 zone. The lot widths proposed for interior lots is 71 feet and 81 feet for the corner lot and a lot depth of 150 feet is proposed for all lots. As proposed, the lots would comply with the minimum width and depth requirements of the R-4 zone. Building Standards – The R-4 standards allow a maximum building coverage of 35% of the lot area. The maximum impervious coverage in the R-4 zone is 50%. The maximum wall plate height is restricted to 32 feet, and the buildings shall be not more than three stories. Roofs with a pitch equal to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six (6) vertical feet from the maximum wall plate height; common rooftop features, such as chimneys, may project an additional four (4) vertical feet from the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical projections (e.g., decks, railings, etc.) shall not extend above the maximum wall plate height unless the projection is stepped back one- and-a-half (1.5) horizontal feet from each façade for each one (1) vertical foot above the maximum wall plate height. Detached accessory structures must remain below a height of 15 feet. The gross floor area must be less than that of the primary structure. Accessory structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. Compliance with the building standards for the new building would be required to be demonstrated at the time of building permit review. Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the property line. The required setbacks for the R-4 zone are: Front yard: 30 feet for the primary structure; Rear yard: 25 feet; Side yards: 20 feet combined (minimum of 7.5 feet on either side); and Secondary Front yard: 30 feet. Corner lots required to have a front yard and a secondary front yard are relieved of the requirement to have a rear yard; in place of a rear yard setback, the side yard setback of the zone shall apply. Setbacks for the new residences would be verified at the time of building permit review. Access/Parking: Access to the proposed lots is proposed individual driveway access off of 120th Ave SE. Each lot is required to accommodate off street parking for a minimum of two vehicles. The maximum driveway slopes cannot exceed 15%. If the grade exceeds 15%, a variance is required. Driveways exceeding eight percent (8%) shall provide slotted drains at the lower end with positive drainage discharge to restrict runoff from entering the garage/residence or crossing any public sidewalk. Compliance with private driveway standards would be verified at the time of building permit review. Fences/Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences or retaining walls as part of this project, the location must be designated on the landscape plan or grading plan. A fence and/or wall detail should also be included on the plan. A retaining wall that is 4 feet or taller, as measured by the vertical distance from the bottom of the footing to the finish grade at the top of the wall requires a building permit. A fence shall not be constructed on top of a retaining wall unless the total combined height of the retaining wall and the fence does not exceed the allowed height of a standalone fence. For more information about fences and retaining walls refer to RMC 4-4- 040. Landscaping: With the exception of critical areas, all pervious area shall have landscape treatment. Landscaping may include hardscape such as decorative paving, rock outcroppings, fountains, plant containers, etc. Ten feet (10') of on-site landscaping is required along all public street frontages. Where there is insufficient right-of-way space or no public frontage, street trees are required in the front yard subject to approval of the Administrator. A minimum of two (2) trees are to be located in the front yard prior to final inspection. A conceptual landscape plan shall be provided with the formal land use application as prepared by a registered Landscape Architect or other certified professional. Significant Tree Retention: If significant trees are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory and a tree retention plan along with a tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application. The tree Palmero Renton Project Short Plat, PRE21-000059 Page 3 of 4 March 18, 2021 retention plan must show preservation of at least 30 percent (30%) of significant trees, and indicate how proposed building footprints would be sited to accommodate preservation of significant trees that would be retained. The Administrator may authorize the planting of replacement trees on the site if it can be demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction that an insufficient number of trees can be retained. In addition to retaining 30% of existing significant trees, the lot would be required to provide a minimum tree density of 2 trees per 5,000 square feet of lot area onsite. Significant trees shall be retained in the following priority order: Priority One: Landmark trees; significant trees that form a continuous canopy; significant trees on slopes greater than twenty percent (20%); Significant trees adjacent to critical areas and their associated buffers; and Significant trees over sixty feet (60') in height or greater than eighteen inches (18") caliper. Priority Two: Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be preserved; other significant native evergreen or deciduous trees; and other significant non-native trees. Priority Three: Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other trees have been evaluated for retention and are not able to be retained, unless the alders and/ or cottonwoods are used as part of an approved enhancement project within a critical area or its buffer. The Administrator may require independent review of any land use application that involves tree removal and land clearing at the City's discretion. If staff determines that the trees cannot be retained, replacement trees, with at least a 2-inch caliper or an evergreen at least 6 feet tall, shall be planted at a rate of 12 caliper inches of new trees to replace each protected tree removed. A formal tree retention plan prepared by an arborist or landscape architect would be reviewed at the time of the formal land use application if any trees are proposed for removal. Critical Areas: A Wellhead Protection Area, zone 2 is mapped on the project site. A fill source statement may be required for fill brought onto the project site. Environmental Review: Projects consisting of nine (9) units or less and that will not impact a critical area are exempt from Environmental (SEPA) Review. Based on the proposal submitted by the applicant, the proposed project would be exempt from SEPA review. Permit Requirements: The proposal would require administrative short plat approval. The application would be reviewed within an estimated time frame of six to eight weeks. The 2021 administrative short plat application fee is $5,680.50 ($5,410.00 each plus a 5% Technology Surcharge Fee).
