1. Project Overview
Renton Sunset Gardens is located at 2900 Northeast 10th Street, Renton, Washington (King County Parcel ID
7227900075). It is bordered by Northeast 10th Street to the south and Jefferson Avenue Northeast to the east,
north, and west (see Figure 2). The proposed project site consists of a 14,341-square-foot mixed-use building
with 76 residential units over commercial space and separate solid waste unit; a 13,946-square-foot parking
lot; a 2,229-square-foot driveway; 6,440 square feet of pedestrian walkways and amenity areas; and 11,365
square feet of landscaping. Off-site improvements in the public right-of-way include street widening, concrete
curbs, landscaping strips, concrete sidewalks, concrete driveway, ADA curb ramps, and additional property
dedicated to the City of Renton (COR). New and replaced impervious surfaces in the public right-of-way total
6,278 square feet; pervious surfaces total 5,737 square feet. The site is within the Center Village (CV) zoning
classification, Commercial Mixed-Use (CMU) land use designation, the Urban Design District ‘D’ overlay, and
the boundaries of the Sunset Area Community Planned Action Ordinance.
The site currently contains a one-story commercial building, asphalt parking lot, two driveways, concrete
pedestrian walkways, and landscaping. The existing site slopes moderately at approximately 6 percent from
the northeast to the southwest. There is an existing rockery wall along the eastern edge of the property that
supports an approximate 9-foot elevation drop from Jefferson Avenue Northeast on the east to the site on the
west. This area adjacent to the existing rockery is considered a moderate landslide hazard per COR Landslide
Hazard Map.
There is existing stormwater conveyance infrastructure along the western property frontage in Jefferson
Avenue Northeast and along the southern property frontage in Northeast 10th Street. The majority of surface
runoff on the site is collected via sheet flow in catch basins and conveyed to a detention pipe in the existing
parking lot. It is then conveyed to the existing 12-inch storm drain in Jefferson Avenue Northeast and
eventually discharges to Johns Creek. Area along the western and southern edges of the property line and in
the right-of-way flow off site overland into the right-of-way where it is collected in catch basins and conveyed to
the same public conveyance system as the rest of the site.
The proposed development will discharge to the same existing stormwater conveyance systems in Jefferson
Avenue Northeast and Northeast 10th Street. New pollution-generating surfaces will be treated using Best
Management Practices (BMPs) that meet enhanced basic water quality standards.

2. Conditions and Requirements Summary
The proposed redevelopment project results in more than 2,000 square feet but less than 50 acres of new plus
replaced impervious surface; therefore, a “Full Drainage Review” is required per the 2017 City of Renton
Surface Water Design Manual (CORSWDM), Section 1.1.2.4. The following is a summary of how the project
will comply with the nine core requirements and six special requirements.
CORE REQUIREMENT NO. 1: DISCHARGE AT THE NATURAL L OCATION
The project will maintain the existing topography and drainage patterns of the site. Runoff from the project site
will continue to be discharged to the existing public stormwater conveyance systems in Jefferson Avenue
Northeast and Northeast 10th Street, identical to the existing site conditions; therefore, the project meets the
discharge requirements in Section 1.2.1 of the CORSWDM. Stormwater runoff from the frontage
improvements will not be redirected as a result of this project. The on-site drainage facilities are not
anticipated to create a significant adverse impact to downstream properties or drainage systems.
KPFF Consulting Engineers
12
CORE REQUIREMENT NO. 2: OFF-SITE ANALYSIS
A Level 1 downstream analysis is included in Section 3 of this report, as required by Section 1.2.2 of the
CORSWDM.
CORE REQUIREMENT NO. 3: FLOW CONTROL
The site falls within the Peak Rate Flow Control Standard area matching existing site conditions per the COR
Flow Control Map. Per Section 1.2.3.1.A of the CORSWDM, the facility requirement in Peak Rate Flow
Control Standard areas is waived for any threshold discharge area in which the target surfaces subject to this
requirement will generate no more than a 0.15-cubic-feet-per-second (CFS) increase in the existing site
conditions 100-year peak flow. Existing site conditions are defined as conditions that existed prior to May
1979 unless land cover changes have been approved by the COR since May 1979 as part of a permit or
approval. Current site conditions were constructed as part of an approved permit in 1982, so the “existing site
condition” to be used for flow control analysis purposes shall be the current land use. The target surfaces
include new impervious and new pervious surfaces.
The project includes on-site BMPs and will not generate more than a 0.15 CFS increase in the existing site
conditions 100-year peak flow; therefore, Core Requirement No. 3 is not applicable. See Appendix C for
hydrology calculations demonstrating compliance.
CORE REQUIREMENT NO. 4: CONVEYANCE SYSTEM
Proposed conveyance system elements on-site and off-site shall be analyzed, designed, and constructed per
Section 1.2.4 of the CORSWDM. Conveyance system calculations will be provided during construction
document permitting following entitlement.
CORE REQUIREMENT NO. 5: CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER PO LLUTION
PREVENTION
Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESC) BMPs will be implemented during construction to prevent
the transport of sediment from the project site to the maximum extent practicable. TESC BMPs are anticipated
to include silt fences, conveyance swales, check dams, a sediment pond with a liner, catch basin inserts,
mulching of exposed areas, dust control, and other measures as necessary. A Construction Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (CSWPPP) will be prepared during construction document permitting following
entitlement.
CORE REQUIREMENT NO. 6: MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS
The owner is responsible for the maintenance and operations of the proposed drainage facilities. A
maintenance and operations manual will be provided during construction document permitting following
entitlement.
CORE REQUIREMENT NO. 7: FINANCIAL GUARANTEES AND L IABILITY
The project will post a construction bond, assignment of funds, or a certified check before a building permit is
issued in accordance with the COR Municipal Code 4-6-030. The applicant will also maintain liability
insurance throughout the duration of construction. A maintenance bond will also be submitted to the COR
before receiving acceptance of any newly constructed on-site private storm drain improvements. Bond
quantities will be provided during construction document permitting following entitlement.
Renton Sunset Gardens – Renton Housing Authority
13
CORE REQUIREMENT NO. 8: WATER QUALITY FACILITIES
Fifty percent or more of the site’s runoff is from commercial land use; therefore, Enhanced Basic Water Quality
is required per Section 1.2.8.1 of the CORSWDM. The project will treat runoff from target pollution-generating
impervious surfaces (PGIS) using a series of infiltrating bioretention planters.
See Section 4 of this report for water quality system analysis and design.
CORE REQUIREMENT NO. 9: ON-SITE BMPS
The site is greater than 22,000 square feet; therefore, the project is subject to Large Lot BMP Requirements
per Section 1.2.9.2 of the CORSWDM. On-site BMP requirements may be satisfied through two methods: (1)
application of BMPs to the maximum extent feasible, or (2) complying with the Low Impact Development (LID)
Performance Standard. The project opts to satisfy Core Requirement No. 9 by applying BMPs to the
maximum extent feasible for all new and replaced impervious surfaces and new pervious surfaces.
Using the list for large lot BMPs in Section 1.2.9.2.2 of the CORSWDM, bioretention was determined to be the
first feasible BMP for the site and will be implemented to the maximum extent feasible. The project results in
an impervious surface coverage greater than 65 percent on the buildable portion of the site; therefore, on-site
BMPs will be applied to at least 20 percent of the target impervious surfaces.
Soil amendment will be applied to all new pervious surfaces in accordance with Appendix C.2.13 of the
CORSWDM. Roof downspout connects to the public stormwater system will be via perforated pipe connection
in accordance with Appendix C.2.11 of the CORSWM.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
In addition to the nine core requirements, the project must evaluate compliance with the six special drainage
requirements.
Special Requirement No. 1: Other Adopted Area-Specific Requirements
There are no known adopted area-specific regulations for the site; therefore, Special Requirement No. 1 is not
applicable.
Special Requirement No. 2: Flood Hazard Area Delineation
Per the FEMA Flood Map Service Center, the project does not contain and is not adjacent to a flood hazard
area; therefore, Special Requirement No. 2 is not applicable.
Special Requirement No. 3: Flood Protection Facilities
The project will not rely on existing or proposed flood protection facilities for protection against hazards posed
by erosion or inundation; therefore, Special Requirement No. 3 is not applicable.
Special Requirement No. 4: Source Control
Water quality source controls applicable to this project will be applied in accordance with the King County
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Manual and Renton Municipal Code, Title IV.
See Section 8 of this report for the Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Analysis and Design.
KPFF Consulting Engineers
14
Special Requirement No. 5: Oil Control
The site is not considered high-use because its anticipated average daily traffic count is less than 100 vehicles
per 1,000 square feet of gross building area; therefore, Special Requirement No. 5 is not applicable.
Special Requirement No. 6: Aquifer Protection Area
The site is not located within the Aquifer Protection Areas; therefore, Special Requirement No. 6 is not
applicable.
3. Off-Site Analysis
TASK 1: STUDY AREA DEFINITION AND MAPS
The majority of stormwater runoff from the site is collected in catch basins within the existing parking lot,
passed through a detention pipe below the parking lot, and conveyed to the existing 12-inch storm drain in
Jefferson Avenue Northeast to the west. It then flows through a public piped conveyance system where it
reaches Johns Creek and eventually discharges to Lake Washington. The downstream flow path is shown in
Figure 6 below. The 1.39-acre site receives 0.01 acre of off-site runoff upstream. See Figure 3.1 above for
off-site drainage areas.
Figure 5: Off-Site Analysis Study Area Map
Renton Sunset Gardens – Renton Housing Authority
15
TASK 2: RESOURCE REVIEW
All resources listed from the CORSWDM were reviewed for potential problems in the study area. These
include information from basin plans, FEMA maps, off-site analysis reports, sensitive area map folios, soil
survey data, wetland inventory maps, Washington State water quality atlas maps, and COR erosion and
landslide maps.
Basin Plan
The site is within the Johns Creek Subbasin, as part of the East Lake Washington – Renton Basin. COR’s
Surface Water System Plan includes an analysis of the East Lake Washington Basin and its subbasins. The
Johns Creek Subbasin discharges directly to Lake Washington at Gene Coulon Beach Park. Johns Creek and
Lake Washington at Gene Coulon Beach Park are both on Ecology’s 303(d) list for pH, temperature, bacteria,
and dissolved oxygen due to their association with industrial sites and tributary discharge containing
sediments. Johns Creek can also experience backwater from Lake Washington during high flows, so it is
subject to sediment deposition due to its generally flat slope. The South Lake Washington Roadway
Improvement Report’s hydrology analysis found localized flooding in areas near The Landing and the
PACCAR/residential areas, not within the vicinity of the project. The North Renton subbasin is almost entirely
developed, so no major changes in land coverage are expected to occur.
Floodplain and Floodway Research
The FEMA Flood Map Service Center shows the most recent flood insurance maps as of August 19, 2020.
The site and its downstream areas are within Zone X, areas determined to be outside the 0.2 percent annual
chance floodplain.
Off-Site Analysis Reports
Technical Information Reports (TIRs) from nearby developments were provided by COR Community and
Economic Development staff and reviewed as part of this study. The developments include Sunset Terrace
Building 1, Sunset Oaks Apartments, Solera Subdivision, and Renton Highlands Library. The off-site analyses
found no existing or potential problems identified within their respective project vicinities.
Sensitive Areas Folio
The King County iMap shows an erosion hazard area approximately 0.8 miles downstream from the site’s
point of discharge. This area runs along the eastern edge of Interstate 405 and consists of a vegetated
embankment with slopes ranging from 20 percent to 60 percent. Stormwater is conveyed across the
embankment in a 24-inch main owned by Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). Runoff
from the project site is not anticipated to impact this area as it is only traversing the area via an existing piped
stormwater main.
Soils Survey
The Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Web Soil Survey has provided a basic understanding of
existing soil conditions. The east half of the site consists of Alderwood (AmC) soil, as shown in Figure 4
above. Geotechnical borings on the west half of the site found loose to medium-dense fill over recessional
outwash deposits consisting of medium to fine sand with silt. See Appendix B for the Geotechnical
Engineering Report.
Wetlands Inventory
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife National Wetlands Inventory map does not indicate any wetlands within the off-site
analysis study limits.
KPFF Consulting Engineers
16
Section 303(d) List of Polluted Waters
The Washington State Water Quality Atlas on the Department of Ecology’s website does not indicate any
impaired waterbodies within the off-site analysis study limits.
City of Renton Erosion Maps and Landslide Maps
The COR sensitive areas maps indicate moderate landslide hazard in the southeast corner of the site. This
area contains an existing rockery wall accounting for an approximately 9-foot elevation drop from Jefferson
Avenue Northeast on the east to the property on the west. The project proposes to maintain and direct
stormwater runoff away from the rockery wall to reduce landslide hazards, identical to the existing conditions.
The maps also indicate a high erosion hazard and high landslide hazard approximately 0.8 miles downstream
from the project’s point of discharge. This is the same area mapped as an erosion hazard on King County’s
iMap, as discussed above in reviewing Sensitive Areas Folio.
TASK 3: FIELD INSPECTION
KPFF conducted a Level 1 investigation of the existing on-site and off-site drainage systems of the project site
and its vicinity on March 4, 2021. No existing or potential constrictions or downstream drainage problems
were visible during the field inspection.
TASK 4: DRAINAGE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND PROBLEM DE SCRIPTIONS
The majority of runoff from the site will be conveyed to the existing 12-inch public main in Jefferson Avenue
Northeast. Roof runoff will be conveyed to the existing 12-inch public main in Northeast 10th Street. The
systems combine in the intersection of Jefferson Avenue Northeast and Northeast 10th Street, and eventually
discharge to Lake Washington via John’s Creek. There are no existing drainage complaints within the extents
of this analysis, and no downstream drainage problems were visible in field observations.
TASK 5: MITIGATION OF EXISTING OR POTENTIAL PROBLE MS
No existing or potential problems were found in the off-site review; therefore, no mitigation is proposed.
4. Flow Control, LID, and Water Quality Facility Analysis and
Design
PART 4.A: EXISTING SITE HYDROLOGY
The project consists of one threshold discharge area because the existing conveyance systems combine
within 1/4 mile downstream. The existing site hydrology contains two drainage subbasins. Refer to Figure 3.1
above for Existing Drainage Subbasins.
Subbasin 01 contains the majority of the site including the existing parking lot, the existing building, and
minimal off-site area northeast of the property boundary. Stormwater is collected by three existing catch
basins in the parking lot or by the building roof and conveyed to a detention pipe underneath the parking lot. It
then flows to the existing 12-inch public main in Jefferson Avenue Northeast at the site’s discharge point
Renton Sunset Gardens – Renton Housing Authority
17
Subbasin 02 contains the remaining areas on-site along the eastern and southern property lines and areas off-
site that sheet flow into the public right-of-way. Stormwater generally sheet flows to the southwest, collects in
existing catch basins in Jefferson Avenue Northeast and Northeast 10th Street, and discharges to the existing
12-inch public main in Northeast 10th Street.

PART 4.B: DEVELOPED SITE HYDROLOGY
The developed site hydrology will contain three drainage subbasins. Refer to Figure 3.2 above for proposed
drainage subbasins.
Subbasin 01 contains the interior drive aisle, parking lot, trash enclosure building, and surfaces adjacent to
and downstream of the PGIS, including pedestrian walkways and landscaping. Parking lot runoff flows to the
southwest to be collected in trench drains immediately outside the extents of the covered parking area. It is
conveyed north where it combines with runoff from the interior drive aisle and pedestrian walkways, collected
via catch basins. This combined flow enters a flow splitter to be routed one of two ways. Up to 0.23 CFS is
directed to a 4/10 horsepower submersible pump then daylights into a series of infiltrating bioretention
planters. 0.23 CFS is the calculated flow required to result in less than a 0.15 CFS increase to the existing
conditions 100-year peak flow. The two upstream planters overflow into a riser which daylights into the planter
downstream. The last planter in the series directs all overflow runoff to the existing 12-inch public main in
Jefferson Avenue Northeast. Flows above 0.23 CFS in the flow splitter are conveyed directly to the same
existing 12-inch public main in Jefferson Avenue Northeast.
Subbasin 02 contains the roof surfaces from the new mixed-use building. Runoff will be captured by roof
drains and discharge directly to the existing 12-inch public main in Northeast 10th Street via perforated pipe
connections.
Subbasin 03 contains the remaining areas on-site and all right-of-way frontage improvements along the
western, southern, and eastern property lines that sheet flow into the public right-of-way. Stormwater generally
sheet flows towards the existing street centerlines, collects in existing catch basins, and discharges to the
existing public mains in Jefferson Avenue Northeast and Northeast 10th Street.

PART 4.C: PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The project is exempt from flow control as discussed in Section 2, Core Requirement No. 3 of this report.
On-site BMPs will be implemented to the maximum extent feasible per the Large Lot BMP Requirements in
Section 1.2.9.2.2 of the CORSWDM.
The conveyance system will have sufficient capacity to convey and contain the 25-year peak flow per Section
1.2.4 of the CORSWDM.
The project is subject to Enhanced Basic Water Quality per Section 1.2.8.1 of the CORSWDM.
PART 4.D: FLOW CONTROL SYSTEM
The project is exempt from flow control as discussed in Section 2, Core Requirement No. 3 of this report.
Bioretention and other on-site BMPs will be implemented to the maximum extent feasible per the Large Lot
BMP Requirements in Section 1.2.9.2.2 of the CORSWDM. Detailed infeasibility discussion and supporting
documentation will be provided during construction document permitting following entitlement.
PART 4.E: WATER QUALITY SYSTEM
All new PGIS and surfaces adjacent to and downstream of the PGIS will be directed to a series of three
infiltrating bioretention planters designed in accordance with Section 6.8 of the CORSWDM. MGSFlood was
used to size the water quality facilities to satisfy two requirements: provide treatment for 91 percent of the total
PGIS runoff volume to comply with Core Requirement No. 8 and result in less than a 0.15 CFS increase to the
existing conditions 100-year peak flow to qualify for exemption from Core Requirement No. 3.
Because the bioretention drainage area exceeds 5,000 square feet of PGIS, a biosoil hydraulic conductivity of
3 inches per hour is used. Native soil hydraulic conductivity was estimated at a conservative 0.5 inches per
hour considering soil rates used for developments nearby. Infiltration rates determined using a Pilot Infiltration
Test will be provided and used during construction document permitting following entitlement. The three
infiltrating bioretention planters all contain 12 inches of ponding, 6 inches of freeboard, and an overflow riser to
collect runoff that overtops the 12 inches of ponding. The cumulative bottom area of all three planters is 650
square feet. See Appendix C for the MGSFlood report demonstrating compliance.

5. Conveyance System Analysis and Design
No existing capacity issues were found in the off-site analysis as discussed in Section 3 of this report;
therefore, existing off-site conveyance systems are not analyzed. All new on-site and off-site conveyance
system elements shall be analyzed, designed, and constructed per Section 1.2.4.1 of the CORSWDM.
Conveyance system calculations will be provided during construction document permitting following
entitlement.
6. Special Reports and Studies
A Geotechnical Engineering Report by Otto Rosenau & Associates, Inc. was prepared on September 16, 2020.
The explorations found soils to consist of sand with gravel fill over medium to fine sand with silt recessional
outwash deposits. It determined that on-site infiltration for surface water drainage could be feasible. See
Appendix B for a copy of the Geotechnical Engineering Report.
