RMC 4-9-250 Variance Process
RMC 4=8 Permits — General and Appeals
PURPOSE
A variance is a means by which citizens may be granted relief from the strict application of the provisions of certain land
use regulations, The process is intended to review situations where uniform requirements would unduly burden one
property more than other properties in the vicinity.
APPLICATION SCREENING
APre-Submittal screening maybe required priorto formal Land Use Review. The screening will be performed electronically
via an FTP link that your Project Planner will provide to you. After you upload your submittal documents the Project
Planner will review the submittal materials to ensure that requested revisions or missing items have been updated and/or
corrected. If all required submittal items are provided and complete, unless waived by the Project Planner, staff will take
in the application for official review.
ELECTRONIC FILE STANDARDS
All documents MUST be submitted electronically. Specific file naming conventions for submitted plans are required to
facilitate the electronic plan review process. Failure to adhere to the sample file naming format listed in the Oecrroroic rile.
Standards may result in a request for resubmittal and/or delay the plan review process, deeming the application
incomplete.
COMPLETE APPLICATION REQUIRED
In order to accept your application, each of the numbered items must be submitted at the same time. Determination
that an application is complete indicates only that the application is ready for review on its merits, not that the City will
make a favorable decision on the application.
APPLICATION SUBMITTAL HOURS
Applications should be submitted to Planning Division staff electronically, not in person. Please email or call your assigned
Project Planner to submit your application. If you have any Planning related questions you may reach out to Planning
Customer Service at 425-430-7294 or planningcustomerservice@rentonwa.gov.
TIME FRAME
The average time frame for processing of a Variance varies from 6 to 12 weeks, depending on whether the decision may
be made administratively (6 to 8 weeks), by the Hearing Examiner (8 to 12 weeks), or by the City Council (12 weeks). This
time frame assumes no appeals are filed.
ADDITIONAL PERMITS

crew will work primarily during the day to replace the poles as noted in the Site Design. The distribution
transfer will also happen during the day except for P09 (319229466233) as this pole serves four
individual businesses that cannot take a power outage during the daytime normal business hours. This
work has to be done during the night hours and the selected night for this work is the night of
September 14th. This work has to be performed on a Tuesday night per the request of the affected
businesses. I will work with the general foreman and the crew to set pole during the day and transfer
the equipment at night on the selected night.
Hours of Operation:
1. Traffic Control Setup (2100 — 0500)
2. Potelco Crew onsite (2100 — 0500)
Anticipated Night Work and Construction Equipment Onsite:
1. Construction equipment to be used for this project includes, but may not be limited to 1 ton
truck, 1 ton flat bed, 48-52 ft. bucket truck and miscellaneous hand tools.
Proposed Nighttime Noise Mitigation:
Potelco crew will adhere to the following noise reduction measures:
1. Trucl<tailgate banging is prohibited. All trucl<tailgates shall be secured to prevent excessive
noise from banging.
2. A copy of noise variance shall be kept on the project site at all times.
3. The PUGET SOUND ENERGY Customer Outage Coordinators will notify all residents and
commercial business of nighttime work activities at least 10 calendar days in advance of the
proposed nighttime construction work.

Dear Puget Sound Energy Customer,
In an ongoing effort to deliver safe and reliable energy, PSE electric crews are scheduled to replace an
aging wood utility pole and upgrade select electric equipment. We're committed to completing our
work safely and efficiently, and our crews will do their best to reduce impacts to you and nearby
neighbors however, we will need to take a planned power outage to your home or business on
Tuesday, September 14th to allow crews to safely complete the work.
Please see below for planned power outage details.
Planned power outage details
Date: Tuesday, September 141h
Duration: Up to six (6) hours
• Sometime between 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Where: Parts of N 30th St Renton, WA
What you can expect
• As soon as the work is complete, power will return to your residence or business automatically
• There will likely be some noise from trucks and flashing lights in the area during work hours
• Traffic control signs and flaggers will guide vehicles and pedestrians safely through work zone
When we have the flexibility to postpone planned outages, we're doing so. In many cases, the
construction work requiring a planned outage must continue due to safety, reliability or customer
needs. For outages that must occur, please know we're looking for ways to limit outage duration,
schedule outages at times that are less inconvenient for customers, and provide as much advanced
notice to customers as possible.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
Thanl<you,

Responses to Variance Factors under RMC 8-7w&D.14
Noise Variance Request Justification
D. Factors For Granting Variance: The decision maker, in passing upon an application for a variance,
shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors and standards specified in other sections of
this Chapter, and in addition thereto shall consider the following, none of which is mandatory for the
granting of the variance:
1. That the applicant suffers practical difficulties and unnecessary hardship and the variance is
necessary because of special circumstances applicable to the applicant's property or project, and
that the strict application of this Chapter will deprive the subject property owner or applicant of
rights and privileges enjoyed by others.
2. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public health, welfare
or safety, or unduly injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity of the location for which
this variance is sought.
3. That the variance sought is the minimum variance which will accomplish the desired purpose.
4. That the variance contains such conditions deemed to be necessary to limit the impact of the
variance on the residence or property owners impacted by the variance. The variance approval
may be subject to conditions including, but not limited to, the following:
a. Implementation of a noise monitoring program;
b. Maximum noise levels;
c. Limitation on types of equipment and use of particular equipment;
d. Limitation on back-up beepers for equipment;
e. Required use of noise shields or barriers;
f. Restrictions to specific times and days;
g. Specific requirements for documentation of compliance with the noise variance
conditions;
h. Specific requirements for notification to nearby residents;
Required cash security to pay for inspection services to verify compliance;
j. Required access to the project by the City to verify compliance with the noise variance
conditions;
k. Specific program to allow for temporary hotel vouchers to effected residents;
Requirements for written verification that all workers understand the noise variance
conditions for the project; and
m. Provision allowing the City to immediately revoke the variance approval if the variance
conditions are violated.
5. The importance of the services provided by the facility creating the noise and the other impacts
caused to the public safety, health and welfare balanced against the harm to be suffered by
residents or property owners receiving the increased noise permitted under this variance.
6. The availability of practicable alternative locations or methods for the proposed use which will
generate the noise.
7. The extent by which the prescribed noise limitations will be exceeded by the variance and the
extent and duration of the variance.
