SUBJECT:King County Solid Waste Vehicle Maintenance Facility
1. The fire flow is unchanged from the existing building.
2. Fire impact fees are currently applicable at the rate of $0.26 per square foot of the new
office area modular additions. No change of use fees apply. This fee is paid at time of
building permit issuance.
3. Fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems shall be updated and/or maintained. Separate
plans and permits are required to be submitted to the fire department for review and
permitting for all systems.
The existing fire sprinkler system is of moderate protection only as the metal fabrication
facility was of low fire hazard. For your information, it will meet requirements for
vehicle maintenance and repair requirements and office spaces. It will not be able to
protect piled storage/storage racking over 12-feet high or high hazards such as vehicle
tire storage or other large quantities of hazardous materials. Upgrades would need to
take place to store these types of higher hazard commodities.
The change of use will trigger fire alarm upgrades throughout the entire facility to meet
current city ordinances. Again, the existing facility fire alarm system is of minor coverage
and shall require substantial upgrades to meet the proposed new use.
4. Fire department apparatus access roadways and existing on-site fire lanes are adequate
as they exist and shall be maintained.
5. All areas shall be compliant with hazardous material storage per the fire code. An
approved hazardous material inventory statement shall be completed and reviewed
prior to any building permit issuance. Use of fire department form or equivalent shall be
submitted. This can be submitted ahead of the building permit submittal to help shorten
plan review time frame if desired. Separate plans and permits required for
flammable/combustible liquid tanks and piping installations.

I have completed a preliminary review for the above-referenced proposal located at parcel 125380-
0211. The following comments are based on the pre-application submittal made to the City of Renton by
the applicant.
WATER
1. The project is within the City of Renton’s water service area in the Valley 196 Pressure Zone.
There is an existing 12” looped water line around the existing building (see drawing #W-
228501).
2. Below is a summary of the existing fire hydrants in the vicinity of the site. Please refer to the Fire
Authority for fire hydrant requirements:
a. Two south of the building within the parking lot of the facility.
b. One northwest of the building in SW 34
th St.
c. One northeast of the building in SW 34
th St.
3. There is an existing 3” domestic water service and meter serving the existing building and
outbuildings with two reduced pressure backflow assemblies (RPBA) for backflow prevention.
4. There is an existing 2” irrigation service and meter serving the site.
a. Per City records, the existing irrigation service has had no consumption since 2015. If the
existing irrigation service will not be reused, the applicant can have the meter removed
or locked off.
b. If the existing irrigation service will be used, it shall be equipped with a double check
valve assembly (DCVA) downstream of the meter for backflow prevention. The DCVA
shall be installed in accordance with COR Std. Plan 340.8.
KC Solid Waste Interim Maintenance Facility PRE21-000317 Page 2 of 3
September 23, 2021
5. There is an existing 6” fire water service serving the existing building with a double check
detector assembly (DCDA) for backflow prevention.
6. If the existing water services will be reused and no additional water services are added, no
water system development charges are applicable.
SEWER
1. Sewer service is provided by the City of Renton.
2. There is an existing 8” private sewer main within a 12” protective ductile iron casing flowing
north to south and underneath the primary shop building. Reference COR Project File
WWP2700704 for record drawings.
3. If floor drains are present in the building, or required by the building official, due to the
proposed vehicle maintenance, they will be required to drain through an oil/water separator
outside the building footprint, within the side sewer. No connections are to be made to the
storm system and any connections to the sewer will be required to be upgraded if an oil/water
separator system is not already present.
4. South of the building, there are two existing 6” side sewer connections into a private sewer
manhole that is located beneath one of the portable buildings.
5. If the existing sewer service will be reused, no sewer system development charges are
applicable. If the domestic water meter size is required to be increased as a result of the project,
applicable SDC fees would be applicable. Credit would be provided for the existing meter size.
SURFACE WATER
1. No storm drainage improvements are required as no new and/or replaced impervious surface is
proposed, however, if during SEPA/Land-Use review it is determined that outside site and
parking/lot improvements are required, the project may become subject to further stormwater
review.
2. Tenant improvements and installation of the new portables will need to follow source control
and temporary erosion and sediment control best management practices.
TRANSPORTATION
1. An accessible route of travel meeting American’s With Disabilities Act’s requirements (ADA)
from the public right of way to the working facilities is required and will be reviewed in
conjunction with the building permit submittal. The existing onsite ADA parking and landings will
also be reviewed. Additional parking spaces, restriping and ramps may be required.
2. The current transportation impact fee is $7.15 per square foot of manufacturing space. A
transportation impact fee credit will be issued for the existing building use.
3. Since the project is proposing a change in use that may result in additional traffic, a traffic study
meeting City of Renton traffic study guidelines is required at the land-use submittal. If the result
of the study is more than 20 new trips in the AM or PM peak hours, a traffic impact analysis will
be required.
4. As this project is proposing an interior remodel and no new construction or additions valued at
over $150,000, no street frontage improvements or right of way dedication are required,
however, if during SEPA/Land-Use review it is determined that outside site and parking/lot
improvements are required, the project may become subject to further transportation review.

TO:Pre-application File No. 21-000317
FROM:Clark Close, Senior Planner
SUBJECT:Interim Maintenance Facility Farwest – 201 SW 34th St
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: King County Solid Waste (KCSW) has leased the Farwest Steel Fabrication
Facility and is proposing to temporarily use the facility for vehicle maintenance and storage for
approximately five (5) years. The Farwest facility is located at 201 SW 34th St (APN
1253800211). The project site totals 244,113 square feet (5.60 acres) and is zoned Heavy
Industrial (IH). KCSW is proposing to relocate much of its vehicle maintenance and stores
operations from Cedar Hills Regional Landfill facility to the Farwest facility. In addition to the
93,306 square foot warehouse building the site contains two (2) exiting modulars with
approximately 2,756 square feet of office space. The applicant is proposing minimal tenant
improvements to the existing facility along with adding two (2) office modular buildings as part
of a requested temporary use permit. The new added modulars would later be removed. The
vehicles proposed to be stored and services onsite include waste transfer trucks and trailers to
smaller KCSW passenger vehicles. The proposed primary function of the facility would be to
service the KCSW road vehicle fleet. Long term storage of vehicles and equipment would be
accommodated elsewhere in King County. KCSW would also pursue the use of an Oyster Shell
Barrel Stormwater Treatment Systems in keeping with the King County Energy Star Program.
According to City of Renton (COR) Maps, the project site is mapped with high seismic hazards.
Current Use: The site is a vacant office and warehouse known as the Farwest Steel Building.
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-130A, “Development
Standards for Industrial Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application
(noted as “IH standards” herein).

CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre-
Applications\2021\PRE21-000317\Working Files
Comprehensive Plan/Zoning Requirements: The property is located within the Employment
Area (EA) land use designation and the Heavy Industrial (IH) zoning designation. The property is
also located within Auto Mall Area C Overlay District. Other government maintenance facilities
require a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit within the IH zone.
Lot Coverage – There is no minimum lot coverage requirement within the IH zone.
Setbacks – Setbacks are the distance between the building and the property line or any private
access easement. The required setbacks in the IH zone are as follows: 15 feet for a front yard or
secondary front yard (20 feet from a principal arterial street); zero for the rear yard or side
yards, except 50 feet if the lot abuts a lot zoned residential. Based on the submitted site plan,
the proposed office modular building #2 would maintain an approximate 189-foot front yard
setback from SW 34th St and the proposed office modular building #31 would maintain an
approximate 280-foot front yard setback from SW 34th St. Both proposed modular buildings
appear to comply with required setbacks of the IH zone. Building setbacks would be reviewed
at the time of land use application.
Building Height – There is no maximum building height requirement within the IH zone.
Landscaping: Compliance with landscape regulations would be required. Please refer to
landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) for further general and specific landscape requirements.
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. A conceptual landscape plan shall be provided with the formal land use application
as prepared by a registered Landscape Architect or other certified professional.
Significant Tree Retention: If tree removal is proposed, a tree inventory and a tree retention
plan, along with a tree retention worksheet, shall be provided with the formal land use
application. According to the performance standards for land development, 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. 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.
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 20%; significant trees adjacent to critical areas and their associated
buffers; and significant trees over 60’ in height or greater than 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/ r 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. No trees are proposed to be removed. A
formal tree retention plan prepared by an arborist or landscape architect would be reviewed
at the time of the formal land use application if any trees are proposed for removal.

Screening: Screening must be provided for all surface-mounted and roof top utility and
mechanical equipment. The site plan application will need to include elevations and details for
the proposed methods of screening (see RMC 4-4-095).
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. Fences up to six feet (6’) in height are permitted in the rear yard or side yard;
fences up to four feet (4’) are allowed in the front yard. A fence taller than seven feet (7')
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. However, fences that provide at least fifty percent (50%) transparency, as
viewed perpendicularly to the face of the fence, may be allowed directly on top of a retaining
wall. However, chain link fencing shall not be installed. This exception shall not be applied to
front yard setbacks, or clear vision areas. New 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.
Parking: Based on current code, new buildings trigger compliance with all parking regulations
(RMC 4-4-080). All changes to parking lots, loading areas, or driveways shall comply with the
current parking regulations of RMC 4-4-080, “Parking, Loading, and Driveway Regulations.”
The total requirements for off-street parking facilities shall be the sum of the requirements for
the several uses computed separately, unless the building is classified as a “shopping center.” A
summary of all existing uses will be required at the time of land use application. The applicant
will need to demonstrate compliance with all existing uses, as well as the proposed on-site
service.
See the following examples parking ratios based on use:
USE NUMBER OF REQUIRED SPACES
Offices, general:
A minimum of 2.0 per 1,000 square feet of net floor area and a
maximum of 4.5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of net
floor area.
Vehicle service and repair
(large and small vehicles):
A minimum and maximum of 2.5 per 1,000 square feet of net
floor area.
Uses not specifically
identified in this Section
Department of Community and Economic Development staff
shall determine which of the below uses is most similar based
upon staff experience with various uses and information
provided by the applicant. The amount of required parking for
uses not listed above shall be the same as for the most similar
use listed below.
New parking stalls must comply with current dimensional requirements. See RMC 4-4-080 for
more details. ADA accessible stalls must be a minimum of 8 feet in width by 20 feet in length,
Interim Maintenance Facility Farwest
Page 4 of 6
September 23, 2021
CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre-
Applications\2021\PRE21-000317\Working Files
with an adjacent access aisle of 8 feet in width for van accessible spaces. The appropriate
amount of ADA accessible stalls based on the total number of spaces must be provided.
It is unclear the overall impacts that vehicle maintenance and storage facility would trigger
with the City’s Parking Regulations. The project proposal will need to demonstrate compliance
with the parking requirements at land use permit review and building permit review. A vehicle
parking analysis with the number of existing spaces and any new spaces would need to be
provided as part of the land use permit for review and approval by the Planning Division
Project Manager.
Bicycle parking shall be provided for all non-residential developments that exceed four thousand
(4,000) gross square feet in size. The number of bicycle parking spaces shall be equal to ten
percent (10%) of the number of required off-street vehicle parking spaces. Modification of these
minimum standards requires written approval from the Department of Community and
Economic Development. See RMC 4-4-080.F.11.b for bicycle parking standards. The applicant
would be required at the time of land use application to provide a bicycle parking analysis of
the subject site. The analysis would include the parking demand and parking improvements in
accordance with RMC 4-4-080.
Access: No changes to the existing access locations are proposed.
Refuse and Recycling Areas: Refuse and recycling areas need to meet the requirements of RMC
4-4-090, “Refuse and Recyclables Standards.” There are general requirements for all uses for
location, signage, screening, and setbacks for collection areas and specific requirements. 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. See RMC 4-4-090 for additional information
and standards. Compliance with the refuse and recycling standards would be required to be
demonstrated in the land use application.
Critical Areas: The project site is mapped with high seismic hazards. It is the applicant’s
responsibility to ascertain whether any critical areas or environmental concerns are present on
the subject property prior to site development work or building improvements.
Environmental Review: The proposal would trigger Environmental (SEPA) Review as the
proposal includes a change or use and the addition of two (2) new modular buildings to a site
and the site includes existing building(s) that exceed 4,000 sq. ft. in area. If the City of Renton is
to act as the lead agency, an environmental checklist would be a submittal requirement.
Environmental determinations processed by the city are made by the Renton Environmental
Review Committee. This determination is subject to appeal by either the project proponent, by a
citizen of the community, or another entity having standing for an appeal.
Site Plan Approval: Site plan review is required for all development within the Employment Area
(EA) designation. The purpose of the site plan review process is to analyze the detailed
arrangement of project elements to mitigate negative impacts where necessary to ensure
project compatibility with the physical characteristics of a site and with the surrounding area.
Site plan review ensures quality development consistent with City goals and policies. Site plan
review analyzes elements including, but not limited to, site layout, building orientation and
design, pedestrian and vehicular environment, landscaping, natural features of the site,

screening and buffering, parking and loading facilities, and illumination to ensure compatibility
with potential future development. Decisional criteria for site plan approval are itemized in RMC
4-9-200.E.3.
Permit Requirements: The proposal for vehicle maintenance and storage facility would require
Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit, Hearing Examiner Site Plan Review, and
Environmental (SEPA) Review, along with all associated building permits. These land use
applications would be reviewed concurrently within an estimated timeframe of 12 weeks. The
2021 Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit fee is $3,300, Hearing Examiner Site Plan Review
application fee is $3,800, and SEPA Review (Environmental Checklist) is $1,600. Any modification
requests to code standards are $260 per modification. A 5% technology fee would also be
assessed at the time of land use application. All fees are subject to change prior to submittal.
Detailed information regarding the land use application submittal can be found on the
Conditional Use Permit submittal checklist and Site Plan submittal checklist and other
informational applications and handouts can be found on the City’s Digital Records Library. The
City requires electronic plan submittal for all applications. Please refer to the City’s Electronic
File Standards.
In addition to the required land use permits, separate construction and building permits would
be required.
Public Information Sign: Public Information Signs are required for all Type II and III Land Use
Permits, as classified by RMC 4-8-080. Public Information Signs are intended to inform the public
of potential land development, specific permits/actions being considered by the City, and to
facilitate timely and effective public participation in the review process. The applicant must
follow the specifications provided in the public information sign handout (see land use forms on
City website). The applicant is solely responsible for the construction, installation, maintenance,
removal, and any costs associated with the sign.
Public Notice: Public Information Signs are required for all Type II Land Use Permits, as classified

OVERALL SCOPE:
King County Solid Waste (KCSW)
Temporary Vehicle Maintenance and Storage Facility
Farwest Steel Fabrication Facility
201 SW 34th St #4939, Renton, WA 98057
The Farwest Steel Fabrication Facility has been leased by KCSW for a Vehicle Maintenance and Storage Facility. The
93, 938 SF primary building is a sprinkled metal structure with an F1 occupancy rating. KCSW intends to temporarily
relocate for approximately 5 years much of its vehicle maintenance and stores operations from their Cedar Hills Regional
Landfill facility to the Farwest facility.
The (2) Farwest office modulars currently on the 5.63 acre site will be occupied by KCSW as is. (2) additional office
modulars for KCSW use are proposed to be added during the KCSW occupancy and then removed.
The existing Farwest parking layout will remain as is and a revised parking calculation has been provided, taking into
account KCSW ’s revised design basis for a combination F1/S1 use of the primary structure with vehicle maintenance
areas, storage, and circulation, as well as, the (2) added Office modulars on the site.
The vehicles to be serviced on site include a range of sizes from waste transfer trucks and trailers to smaller KCSW
passenger vehicles. As the primary function of the facility will be servicing the KCSW road vehicle fleet, long term
storage of vehicles and equipment will be accommodated elsewhere in the county at KCSW owned facilities.
Tenant Improvements (TI) to the facility and site are intended to be minimal in keeping with the temporary nature of
KCSW ’s occupation of the property. Facility adaptation to KCSW ’s requirements will be managed through the installation
of KCSW owned or purchased equipment which are intended to be removed and retained by KCSW on departure.
Where required, additional office modular placement, access/egress routes, life safety issues, seismic restraints,
sprinkler system adjustments, and other features subject to jurisdictional review will be identified and described on the
plans accompanying the TI submission.
In keeping with the King Couny Energy Star Program and overall committment to sustainability, the project will be
pursuing the use of an Oyster Shell Barrel Stormwater Treatment System.
