The proposal will be routed to other City departments and other jurisdictions or agencies that may have an interest in the application. The reviewers have two (2) weeks to return their comments to the Planning Division. Within approximately two weeks, the Planning Division will prepare a report regarding the proposal’s compliance with applicable codes and the City’s review criteria. The application will then be presented to the City’s Environmental Review Committee. The Environmental Review Committee (ERC) is comprised of the Administrator of Public Works, the Administrator of Community and Economic Development, the Administrator of Community Services, and the Fire Chief. The Committee is responsible for determining whether the proposal will result in significant adverse environmental impacts. To do this, the committee will consider such issues as environmental health hazards, wetlands, groundwater, energy and natural resources and will then issue its decision (Environmental Threshold Determination). The Environmental Review Committee will either issue a:  Determination of Non-Significance (DNS)-Make a determination the proposal will have no significant negative environmental impacts; or  Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (DNS-M)-Make a determination the proposal, if modified, would have no significant negative environmental impacts; or  Determination of Significance (DS)-Make a determination the proposal will have significant adverse environmental impacts and require the applicant to submit an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) prepared by a qualified consultant. Once the Environmental Review Committee has issued its Environmental Threshold Determination (provided an EIS is not required), a public notice of the Determination is printed in the Renton Reporter and notice(s) are posted at or near the site. A 14-day appeal period commences following the publication date. At the discretion of the City, a separate and additional 15-day comment period may be added prior to the 14-day appeal period. The remainder of the review process differs depending on whether a public hearing is required. Section 4-2-060 of the Renton Municipal Code stipulates whether or not a public hearing is required. In addition to issuing the Environmental Determination, the Environmental Review Committee is also charged with determining whether a public hearing should be required for those Site Plan proposals not automatically triggering a public hearing. The Environmental Review Committee will consider the 12 H:\CED\Data\Forms-Templates\Self-Help Handouts\Planning\sa.doc Rev: 02/2017 departmental and public comments in determining whether or not a hearing should be required. This determination may be appealed within 14 days to the Hearing Examiner pursuant to RMC 4-8-110. Projects exceeding the size limits listed in the RMC 4-9-200D.3 and projects abutting or across the street from residential zones MUST have a public hearing. No variance from this requirement is possible. The remainder of the review process differs depending on whether a public hearing is required. Administrative Site Plan Review: A public hearing is not required. The Planning Division reviews the proposal for compliance with the requirements of RMC 4-9-200E, F in conjunction with the Environmental Review Committee decision and any staff or public comments prior to making a decision. The decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the proposal will be mailed to all persons listed on the Master Application and all parties of record. Hearing Examiner Site Plan Review and Review of Environmental Determination Appeals: A public hearing is required. After review of the proposal and any staff or public comments, the Planning Division staff will forward a report and recommendation and the Environmental Review Committee decision to the Hearing Examiner prior to the hearing. This report will be mailed to all persons listed on the Master Application and all parties of record. Notice of the public hearing will be published in the Renton Reporter at least 10 days prior to the hearing, the site will be posted again, and parties of record will receive notices of the hearing via mail. Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend the public hearing for th eir proposal. City staff will first make a presentation to the Hearing Examiner about the proposal. Either the applicant or citizens in support of the proposal will then give testimony. When giving testimony, names and addresses must be stated for the record. Following this, individuals with neutral or opposing comments will give their testimony to the Hearing Examiner. City staff or the applicant will address additional questions raised throughout the hearing. The Hearing Examiner will review the proposed application for compliance with the requirements of RMC 4-9-200E and F concurrently with any environmental appeals and issue a final decision(s) within 14 days of the hearing unless, at the time of the public hearing, the Hearing Examiner indicates additional time will be required for issuance of the decision. The decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the proposal will be mailed to all persons listed on the Master Application and all parties of record. The Examiner’s decision on any environmental appeals will also be mailed. APPEAL AND RECONSIDERATION PROCESS FOR DECISIONS: Any person, including the applicant, aggrieved by the granting or denial of an application, may make a written application for reconsideration to the Reviewing Official within 14 calendar days of the date of the decision. After review of the request, the Reviewing Official may take whatever action is deemed prope r. The Reviewing Official’s written decision on the reconsideration request will be mailed to all parties of record within 10 days from the date the request was filed. If any party is still not satisfied after a reconsideration decision has been issued, an appeal may be submitted within 14 days to:  The Hearing Examiner for Administrative decisions  The City Council for Hearing Examiner decisions An appeal may be filed without first requesting reconsideration by the Reviewing Official; however, it must be filed within 14 days of the date when the original decision was issued. See RMC 4-8-110 for further information on the appeal process and time frames. 13 H:\CED\Data\Forms-Templates\Self-Help Handouts\Planning\sa.doc Rev: 02/2017 BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION PERMIT ISSUANCE AND INSTALLATION OF IMPROVEMENTS: In the City of Renton, a Building Permit must be obtained to build buildings and structures. A Construction Permit must be obtained to install utility lines, transportation improvements and undertake work in City right-of-ways. Building and Construction Permits are separate permits. Applicants may apply for building and construction permits concurrently with their request for a land use application. However, the applicant should be aware any conditions of land use permit approval may create a need for revisions to other permit applications whereby additional fees may be charged. Refunds of building permit charges are not available. If no appeals or reconsideration requests are filed within 14 days of the effective date of the decision to approve the application, the applicant may obtain building and construction permits. A construction permit for the installation of on-site and off-site utilities will be issued upon the review and approval of civil engineering drawings by the Division’s Public Works Section and receipt of all applicable development and permit fees. A building permit will be issued upon the Building Section’s approval of building plans and receipt of all applicable fees. DEFERRAL OF IMPROVEMENTS: If a developer wishes to defer certain on-site or off-site improvements (i.e. landscaping, curbs and sidewalks), written application with full and complete engineering drawings must be submitted to the Development Engineering Section. The application should explain the reasons why such delay is necessary. If approval is granted, security in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit, set-aside fund, assignment of funds, or certified check shall be furnished to the City in an amount equal to a minimum of 150% of the estimated cost of the required improvements. EXPIRATION AND EXTENSIONS: Once an application has been approved, the applicant has two years to comply with all conditions of approval and to apply for an y necessary permits before the approval becomes null and void. The approval body that approved the original application may grant a single two - year extension. The approval body may require a public hearing for such extension.
