DATE 20-032 11/03/20 DRAWN BY ERM SCALE N/A CHECKED BY ZLN SHEET 1 OF 2 EXHIBIT C Purpose and Long-Term Benefit of Vacation Solera Manager, LLC (“Solera”) owns several parcels of land in the Sunset Area it is in the process of redeveloping. As part of this redevelopment, Solera will need a vacation. Solera envisions bringing new life to this important area of the City with a mixed-use development that will provide new affordable and market rate housing, and complementary commercial space that will foster economic growth in the neighborhood. Exhibit C.1 shows the Solera Master Plan site, including the existing and proposed rights of way that will serve it and connect to existing City streets. The proposed vacation sits near the middle of the Solera project area and would help Solera align the existing street right-of-way with the proposed right-of-way that will connect Harrington Place NE with Sunset Boulevard. This alignment is specifically considered in the December 11, 2018 Hearing Examiner decision on the Solera Master Plan which requires Solera to obtain the requested vacation as a prerequisite to obtain civil construction permits. To accomplish this alignment, Solera proposes to dedicate land on the opposite side of the NE 11th Street right-of-way. The re-aligned street will meet or exceed City code requirements and will provide numerous street improvements. The long term public benefit of this vacation is improved traffic flow, improved traffic safety, and a more easily traversable Sunset Area. This vacation is also consistent with numerous goals and policies stated in the Renton Comprehensive Plan, including goals and policies: T-A; T-1; T-20; T-21; T-24; T-40; and T-69. In addition, this vacation will help Solera bring crucial housing and commercial space to an underutilized area in Renton, thereby helping the City respond to a housing affordability crisis while improving the economic opportunities for Rentonites. Overall, right-of-way dedications for the Solera Master Plan will exceed the area of the requested street vacation. For instance, in addition to the right of way dedicated for the re-alignment of NE 11th Street, Solera will dedicate part of the right of way along Jefferson Ave., as depicted in Exhibit C.1. In doing so, Solera will dedicate more land to the City than it proposes to vacate. Solera requests that Renton, under Renton Municipal Code Section 9-14-5.B., allow the land dedicated by Solera to satisfy the required compensation Solera must provide for this vacation area. / LEGEND PARCEL NO 722780-1660 RENTON HOUSING AUTHORITY AREA TO BE VACATED EXISTING ROW LINE '\ BLVD � � s1�,."� SOLERA RENTON,WA ROW VACATION EXHIBIT C.1 __J �S' ; �, tf / �'!=�· �/ 0 20 40 80 1 iid'I = 40 feet SHEET SOLERA VACATION PETITION EXHIBIT C.1
