FROM: Brittany Gillia, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Nicoli Short Plat
3930 Park Ave N
(Parcel No. 3342700532)
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 www.rentonwa.gov
Project Proposal: The applicant is proposing to subdivide one (1) existing single family parcel
into three (3) lots. The project site (Tax Parcel 3342700532) is located at 3930 Park Ave N and
totals approximately 23,149 sq. ft. (0.53 acres) in area and is zoned Residential-6 (R-6). The site
is rectangular in shape with a 20-foot wide pipestem off Park Ave N. The existing single family
residence and associated accessory structures are proposed to be removed. Proposed Lot A
would have an area of 9,185 sq. ft. and would access off Park Ave N via the existing pipestem.
Proposed Lot B would have an area of 6,760 sq. ft. and Proposed Lot C would have an area of
7,203 sq. ft. and both are proposed to be accessed via a 20’ ingress/egress and utility easement
leading up to the pipestem driveway. The site is mapped within a Moderate Landslide Hazard
and Sensitive Slope area.
Current Use: The property is developed with an existing single family home and associated
accessory structures that are all proposed for removal.
Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property is zoned Residential-6 (R-6). The minimum
density in the R-6 zone is 3.0 dwelling units per net acre (du/ac) and the maximum density is 6.0
du/ac. Private access easements, critical areas and public right-of-way are deducted from the
total area to determine net density. For purposes of calculating net density: All fractions shall be
truncated at two numbers past the decimal. Should a calculation result in a fraction of a
dwelling unit that is 0.50 or greater, the fraction shall be rounded up to the nearest whole
number, for example, 4.56 dwelling units becomes 5.0. Should a calculation result in a fraction
that is less than 0.50, the fraction shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, for
Nicoli Short Plat, PRE21-000144
Page 2 of 5
May 13, 2021
example, 4.49 dwelling units becomes 4.0 dwelling units. The proposal for 3 lots on the 0.53
acre gross site area would result in a gross density of 5.65 dwelling units per acre (3 lots / 0.53
acres = 5.65 du/ac). The applicant would be required to submit a density worksheet
demonstrating compliance with net density 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-6 standards” herein).
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size permitted in Zone R-6 is 7,000
square feet for parcels less than one acre, with one lot allowed to be sma ller than the required
minimum lot size. This single lot is allowed to be 6,250 square feet in Zone R-6. Minimum lot
width is 60 feet for interior lots, or 70 feet for corner lots. Minimum lot depth is 90 feet. The
proposed lots would provide adequate area for compliance with the minimum area required,
however Lots A and B would not provide the minimum 90-foot depth required.
Building Standards – The R-6 standards allow a maximum building coverage of 40% of the lot
area. The maximum impervious coverage in the R-6 zone is 55%. The maximum wall plate height
is restricted to 24 feet, and the buildings shall not be more than two 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 are restricted to a maximum wall
plate height of 12 feet. The gross floor area must be less than that of the primary structure.
Accessory structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. The proposal’s
compliance with the building standards for the new homes would be verified at the time of
building permit review.
Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the
property line and any private access easement or tract. The required setbacks for the R-6 zone
are: Front yard: 25 feet for the primary structure; Rear yard: 25 feet; Side yards: combined 15 ft.
with not less than 5 ft. on either side. 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. Lots adjacent to both public ROW and driveway
tract frontage are classified as corner lots. Setback compliance for the new homes would be
verified at the time of building permit review.
Residential Design and Open Space Standards: The Residential Design and Open Space
Standards contained in RMC 4-2-115 would be applicable to any new residential structures.
Access: Access to proposed Lot A would be provided via the existing 20-foot wide pipestem.
Access to proposed Lots B and C would be provided via easement access off of the pipestem
connecting to Park Ave N. Flag lots may be permitted for new plats to achieve the minimum
density within the Zoning Code when there is no other feasible alternative to achieving the
minimum density. The “flagpole” shall not exceed one hundred fifty feet (150') in length and not
be less than twenty feet (20') in width. The portion of the lot narrower than eighty percent
(80%) of the minimum permitted width shall not be used for lot area calculations or for the
Nicoli Short Plat, PRE21-000144
Page 3 of 5
May 13, 2021
measurement of required yard setbacks. Land area included in private access easements shall
not be included in lot area calculations. Flag lots shall not abut one another.
Shared driveways may be allowed for access to four (4) or fewer residential lots, provided:
a. At least one of the four (4) lots abuts a public right-of-way and the street frontage of the
lot is equal to or greater than the lot width requirement of the zone;
b. The subject lots are not created by a subdivision of ten (10) or more lots;
c. A public street is not anticipated by the City of Renton to be necessary for existing or
future traffic and/or pedestrian circulation through the short subdivision or to serve
adjacent property;
d. The shared driveway would not adversely affect future circulation to neighboring
properties;
e. The shared driveway is no more than three hundred feet (300') in length; and
f. The shared driveway poses no safety risk and provides suff icient access for emergency
vehicles and personnel.
Shared driveways shall be within a tract; the width of the tract and paved surface shall be a
minimum of sixteen feet (16'); the Fire Department may require the tract and paved surface to
be up to twenty feet (20') wide. If a shared driveway abuts properties that are not part of the
subdivision, an eight foot (8') wide landscaped strip shall be provided between the shared
driveway and neighboring properties. The landscape strip shall be within a tract and planted
with a mixture of trees, shrubs, and groundcover. The shared driveway may be requi red to
include a turnaround per subsection H of RMC 4-6-060. The maximum grade for the shared
driveway shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%), except for within approved hillside
subdivisions.
Parking: Each lot is required to accommodate off-street parking for a minimum of two vehicles.
Compliance with parking regulations would be verified at the time of building permit review.
Driveways: Driveways exceeding 8% must provide slotted drains at the lower end of the
driveway. The maximum driveway slopes cannot exceed 15%. If the grade exceeds 15%, a
variance is required. The maximum width of single loaded garage driveways shall not exceed 9
feet and double loaded garage driveways shall not exceed 16 feet. Compliance with the
driveway regulations would be verified at the time of formal land use review.
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, a certified nurseryman or other certified professional.
Significant Tree Retention: A Tree Retention/ Land Clearing (Tree Inventory) Plan along with a
tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application. The tree
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
Nicoli Short Plat, PRE21-000144
Page 4 of 5
May 13, 2021
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 percent of existing significant trees, each new lot would be required
to provide a minimum tree density of 2 trees per 5,000 square feet of lot area onsite. Protected
trees that do not contribute to a lot's required minimum tree density shall be held in perpetuity
within a tree protection tract.
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.
Critical Areas: The site is mapped within a Moderate Landslide Hazard and Sensitive Slope
designation. A geotechnical soils report will be required at the time of for mal land use
application.
Environmental Review: Short plats are categorically exempt from Environmental (SEPA) Review
except for lands covered by water or critical areas as designated in RMC 4-9-070H.2. The
proposed short plat would no longer be exempt from environmental review if further
investigation of the site results in the identification of designated critical areas.
Permit Requirements: The subdivision of fewer than 10 lots requires a Short Plat application.
The application review is administrative and would be processed 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). Each modification request is $262.50
($250.00 each plus a 5% Technology Surcharge Fee). All fees are subject to change. A Short Plat
