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, 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 a change of use to convert an existing single family home into an outpatient manual physical therapy office, a “medical office” use. The subject property is located at 55 Logan Ave S (APN 7229300630). The parcel totals approximately 5,479 sq. ft. (0.13 acres) in area and is currently developed with a single family home, a covered parking structure, and two detached sheds. The proposed change of use does not include any changes to the structures or layout of the site. The existing residence is proposed to remain on the lot and to serve as a medical office on the first floor, with the unfinished basement proposed for use as a laundry and storage facility associated with the medical office use. Access to the proposed project would be via an existing driveway off of Logan Ave S. The site has a zoning designation of Center Downtown (CD). A High Seismic Hazard Area and Wellhead Protection Area Zone 1 (Downtown Wellfield) are mapped on the project site. Current Use: The site is currently developed with a 870 square foot single family residence, a covered parking structure, and two detached accessory buildings. Zoning Requirements: The subject property is located within the Commercial & Mixed Use (CMU) land use designation and CD zoning designation. In addition, the proposal is within the Urban Design District ‘A’ overlay. Medical offices are an outright allowed use in the CD zone. 55 Logan Conversion, PRE21-000236 Page 2 of 6 July 15, 2021 CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre- Applications\2021\PRE21-000236 Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-120B, “Development Standards for Commercial Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application (noted as “CD standards” herein). The table below notes the current standards for the CD zone. Type of Standard Minimum Standards Lot Standards Lot Size None Lot Width None Lot Depth None Density Minimum/Maximum Net Residential Density Minimum Density: 75 dwelling units per net acre (du/ac). Maximum Density 150 du/ac; Density may be increased to 200 du/ac subject to Administrative Conditional Use Permit approval. Density Bonus Review eligible if criteria and standards of RMC 4-9-065 can be met. Potential for 30% above maximum density or density allowed via conditional use permit. Setbacks Min Front Yard and Secondary Front Yard None Max Front Yard and Secondary Front Yard 15 ft. – for buildings 25 ft. or less in height. None – for that portion of a building over 25 ft. in height Side/Rear Yard None. If the CD lot abuts a lot zoned residential, then there shall be a 15 ft. landscaped strip or a 5 ft. wide sight-obscuring landscaped strip and a solid 6 ft. high barrier along the common boundary with an additional 5 ft. setback from the barrier. Clear Vision Area n/a Building Standards Building Coverage Ratio None Maximum Gross Floor Area None Maximum Building Height 95 ft – Heights may exceed the zone’s maximum height with a Conditional Use Permit. In no case shall building height exceed the maximum allowed by the Airport Compatible Land Use Restrictions, for uses located within the Federal Aviation Administration Airport Zones. Parking Vehicular Commercial uses (in general) require a maximum of 1 space per 1,000 square feet of net floor area, with no minimum requirement. Location All parking shall be provided in the rear portion of the yard, with access taken from an alley, when available.

Bicycle N/A Loading Docks 55 Logan Conversion, PRE21-000236 Page 3 of 6 July 15, 2021 CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre- Applications\2021\PRE21-000236 Location Service and loading areas shall be off-street and screened from view of abutting public streets. Building Setbacks – It appears that the proposal would comply with the setback requirements of the zone. If a CD lot abuts a lot zoned residential, then there shall be a 15 ft. landscaped strip or a 5 ft. wide sight - obscuring landscaped strip and a solid 6 ft. high barrier along the common boundary with an additional 5 ft. setback from the barrier. It appears that the subject lot does not abut the residential zone to the west due to the narrow flag lot between the parcels. Compliance with building setback standards will be reviewed at the time of building permit submittal. Screening: Screening must be provided for all surface-mounted and roof top utility and mechanical equipment. The project proposal does not provide data on utility or mechanical equipment. Compliance with the screening requirements would be reviewed at the time of formal building permit application review (see RMC 4-4-095 for specific requirements). Refuse and Recycling Areas: Refuse and recycling areas need to meet the requirements of RMC 4-4-090, “Refuse and Recyclables Standards.” In office developments, a minimum of two (2) square feet per every one thousand (1,000) square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided for recyclables deposit areas and a minimum of four (4) square feet per one thousand (1,000) square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided for refuse deposit areas. A total minimum area of one hundred (100) square feet shall be provided for recycling and refuse deposit areas. The submitted materials propose no additional square feet of building gross floor area and do not provide information on the refuse or recycling areas on site. Compliance with the refuse and recycling requirements would be reviewed at the time of formal building permit application review. Access: Access to the proposed medical office would be provided via an existing driveway off of Logan Ave S. The number of driveways and curb cuts shall be minimized for vehicular access purposes, so that pedestrian circulation along the sidewalk is minimally impeded. No changes to the existing driveway location is proposed. Pedestrian Access: A pedestrian connection shall be provided from all public entrances to the street, in order to provide direct, clear and separate pedestrian walks from sidewalks to building entries and internally from buildings to abutting properties. A clear and separate existing pedestrian walkway is established onsite leading from the public access along the right of way to the building entrance. Parking: In the CD zone, all parking shall be provided in the rear portion of the yard, with access taken from an alley, when available. Parking shall not be located in the front yard, nor in a side yard facing the street nor rear yard facing the street. Parking may be located off-site or subject to a joint parking requirement. Commercial uses (in general) require a maximum of 1 space per 1,000 square feet of net floor area, with no minimum requirement. According to the submitted materials, the applicant is proposing 3 existing parking stalls on site which exceeds the maximum of 1 space per 1,000 square feet of net floor area. Parking, Loading, and Driveway Regulations will become applicable if the applicant builds a new building or structure or performs a building/structure addition on site. If construction replaces an existing building, only the area exceeding the area of the original structure shall be used to calculate required parking. If a commercial addition is made, only the area exceeding the area of the original structure shall be used to calculate required parking. The applicant will be required at the time of formal building permit application to provide detailed parking information (i.e. stall and drive aisle dimensions), striping locations and calculations of the subject site that demonstrate compliance with RMC 4-4-080. See RMC 4-4-080.F.8 and F.9 for parking stall and aisle dimension requirements. 55 Logan Conversion, PRE21-000236 Page 4 of 6 July 15, 2021 CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre- Applications\2021\PRE21-000236 Fences/Retaining Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences as part of this project, the location must be designated on the landscape plan. A wall taller than four feet (4') 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. New or existing fencing would need to comply with the fence requirements of the code (RMC 4-4-040). Retaining walls shall be composed of brick, rock, textured or patterned concrete, or other masonry product that complements the proposed building and site development. There shall be a minimum three- foot (3') landscaped setback at the base of retaining walls abutting public rights -of-way. Please refer to retaining wall standards (RMC 4-4-040) for additional information about fences and retaining walls. No fences or retaining walls were shown on the submitted materials. Landscaping: Conversion of a residential use to a non-residential use in the CD zone is subject to street trees and landscaping within the ROW, surface parking landscaping, and maintenance portions of the landscaping code. ROW planting is established to street development standards. All proposed landscaping shall be maintained in a healthy, growing condition and those dead or dying shall be replaced. Property owners shall keep the planting areas reasonably free of weeds and litter. Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) and Downtown Streetscape Standards for additional general and specific landscape requirements. A conceptual landscape plan shall be submitted at the time of land use application. 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 retention plan must show preservation of at least 10 percent (10%) of significant trees, and indicate how proposed building footprints would be sited to accommodate preservation of significant trees that would be retained. There are no trees present on the subject property and no trees are proposed for planting or removal. Signage: Signs are required to meet the minimum standards of RMC 4-4-100 “Sign Regulations” and require sign permit review. No signage was shown or proposed on the submitted materials. Urban Design Regulations: The subject property is within the Urban Design District ‘A’ and compliance with District ‘A’ Urban Design Regulations is required as the proposal includes the conversion of a residential use to a nonresidential use (see RMC 4-3-100). In general, the regulations encourage building design that is unique and urban in character, comfortable on a human scale, and uses appropriate building materials that are suitable for the Pacific Northwest climate and to discourage franchise retail architecture. If an applicant is unable to meet the prescriptive standards of the code, the applicant would be required to demonstrate compliance with the intent and guidelines of the respective section that includes the standard. The following bullets provide some of the design elements needed with your proposal. The design regulations should be referred to in their entirety prior to refining your proposal. The building permit application shall include a narrative of how the project meets each of design standards. • The building shall be oriented to the street with clear connections to the sidewalk. The front entry shall be oriented to the street. Building entries from a parking lot shall be subordinate to those related to the street. • Office buildings shall have pedestrian-oriented facades. In limited circumstances the Administrator may allow facades that do not feature a pedestrian orientation; if so, substantial landscaping between the sidewalk and building shall be provided. Such landscaping shall be at least thirty feet (30') in width as measured from the sidewalk. 55 Logan Conversion, PRE21-000236 Page 5 of 6 July 15, 2021 CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre- Applications\2021\PRE21-000236 • The building’s primary entry shall be on a façade facing the street, prominent, connected to the public sidewalk, and include human-scaled elements. Visibly prominent features include facade overhang, trellis, large entry doors, and/or ornamental lighting. • Building entries from a street shall be clearly marked with canopies, architectural elements, ornamental lighting, or landscaping and include weather protection at least four and one-half feet (4- 1/2') wide. Buildings that are taller than thirty feet (30') in height shall also ensure that the weather protection is proportional to the distance above ground level. • Features such as entries, lobbies, and display windows shall be oriented to a street or pedestrian- oriented space; otherwise, screening or decorative features should be incorporated. • Garbage, recycling collection, and utility areas shall be enclosed on all sides, include a roof and be screened around their perimeter by a wall or fence and have self-closing doors. Service enclosures shall be made of masonry, ornamental metal or wood, or some combination of the three. If the service area is adjacent to a street, pathway, or pedestrian-oriented space, a landscaped planting strip, minimum three feet (3') wide, shall be located on three (3) sides of such facility. • Parking shall be located so that no surface parking is located between a building and front property line and a building and the side property line on a corner lot. P arking shall be located so that it is screened from surrounding streets by buildings, landscaping, and/or gateway features as dictated by location. • Parking structures shall provide space for ground floor commercial uses along street frontages at a minimum of seventy five percent (75%) of the building frontage width. The entire public facing façade shall be pedestrian-oriented. • Access to parking lots and garages shall be from alleys, when available. If not available, access shall occur at side streets. • All building façades shall include modulation or articulation at intervals of no more than forty feet (40'). Modulations shall be a minimum of two feet (2') deep, sixteen feet (16') in height, and eight feet (8') in width. Buildings greater than one hundred sixty feet (160') in length shall provide a variety of modulations and articulations to reduce the apparent bulk and scale of the facade; or provide an additional special feature such as a clock tower, courtyard, fountain, or public gathering area. • Human-scaled elements such as a lighting fixture, trellis, or other landscape feature shall be provided along the façade’s ground floor. Any façade visible to the public shall be comprised of at least fifty percent (50%) transparent windows and/or doors for at least the portion of the ground floor facade that is between four feet (4') and eight feet (8') above ground (as measured on the true elevation). Untreated blank walls visible from public streets, sidewalks, or interior pedestrian pathways are not permitted. • Building roof lines must be varied along the entire roof. The building must contain at least one of the following: (1) Extended parapets, (2) feature elements projecting above parapets, (3) project cornices, or (4) pitched/sloped roofs. Buildings containing predominantly residential uses shall have pitched roofs with a minimum slope of one to four (1:4) and shall have dormers or interesting roof forms that break up the massiveness of an uninterrupted sloping roof. • All sides of buildings visible from a street, pathway, parking area, or open space shall be finished with the same building materials, detailing, and color scheme. A different treatment may be used if the materials are of the same quality. All buildings shall use material variations such as colors, brick or metal banding, patterns or textural changes. Materials, individually or in combination, shall have 55 Logan Conversion, PRE21-000236 Page 6 of 6 July 15, 2021 CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre- Applications\2021\PRE21-000236 texture, pattern, and be detailed on all visible façades. Materials shall be durable, high quality, and consistent with more traditional urban development, such as brick, integrally colored concrete masonry, pre-finished metal, stone, steel, glass and cast-in-place concrete. Critical Areas: According to COR Maps, there appear to be High Seismic Hazards and Wellhead Protection Area Zone 1 (Downtown Wellfield) mapped on the project site. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ascertain whether any additional critical areas or environmental concerns are present on the site during site development or building construction. Environmental Review: New office buildings with four thousand (4,000) square feet or less of gross floor area 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 change of use may no longer be exempt from environmental review if further investigation of the site results in the identification of designated critical areas. Permit Requirements: The proposal would require a change of occupancy permit pursuant to the 2018 International Building Code (IBC) as well as any other associated commercial building permits for work to be done to bring the structure into compliance. Building permit fees can be found in the City’s fee schedule which is linked here. All fees are subject to change. Additional information and forms needed for the building permit application submittal can be found on the City’s new website by clicking “Permit Center” on the Community & Economic Development page, then “Forms / Applications”. The City now requires electronic plan submittal for all applications. The City’s Electronic File Standards can be found on the City’s website at https://edocs.rentonwa.gov/Documents/Browse.aspx?startid=867190&dbid=0 Fees: In addition to the applicable building and construction fees, impact fees would be required. Such fees would apply to all projects and payable prior to building permit issuance. The 2021 impact fees are as follows: • A Transportation Impact Fee based on $32.94 per each square foot for medical offices. • A Fire Impact fee of $1.99 per each square foot for medical offices. A handout listing Renton’s development-related fees is available on the City of Renton website for your review.
