PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Renton School District is requesting Hearing Examiner Site Plan Review,
Conditional Use Permit, and two modifications for a new elementary school located at 1058 Chelan Ave NE. The project
site includes 11 parcels approximately 11.08 acres with street frontage along both Chelan Ave NE and Duvall Ave NE. The
zoning designation for 10 of the 11 parcels is Residential-8 with one Residential-10 parcel located on the northwestern
portion of the project site. The proposed elementary school building would be approximately 77,000 square feet and
two stories. In addition to the building, there would be an outdoor classroom area, multipurpose playfield, hard/soft
play areas, and a covered play area. A surface lot would provide parking for 82 vehicles and a school bus load/unload
area would provide capacity for eight full size busses and two special education buses. Passenger vehicle access to the
subject property is proposed at the south end of the site with one full access driveway along the Duvall Ave NE frontage
and one exit only access on Chelan Ave NE. School bus access would be provided via two driveways along Duvall Ave NE.
The applicant would construct street frontage improvements along both the Duvall Ave NE and Chelan Ave NE frontages.
The project site contains two wetlands, one of the which the applicant proposes to permanently impact with the
proposed improvements, and the other to temporarily impact the buffer area during construction. Proposed mitigation
to the permanently impacted wetland would occur via credits purchased from the City’s Springbrook Creek Wetland and
Habitat Mitigation Bank. Temporary impacts to the retained wetland’s buffer would be mitigated via
restoration/enhancement and then permanent protection following construction. Stormwater generated from the
proposed improvements would be conveyed to two subsurface detention facilities with treatment provided via modular
vaults prior to discharge into the City’s system. Portions of the site would also disperse flows to gravel trenches and
eventually discharge into the remaining wetland. The site contains 499 trees of which 208 are located on the site’s
western wetland and buffer and would be retained. Approximately 20 trees would be removed for street improvements.
Of the remaining 271 trees in the developable portion of the site, the applicant proposes to retain 18 trees. The applicant
has requested two code modifications with the application related to onsite parking and street frontage improvements.
Studies submitted with the application include critical areas report, drainage report, geotechnical report, arborist report,
and traffic impact analysis.
