CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre- Applications\2021\PRE21-000359\Working Files DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE:October 21, 2021 TO:Pre-Application File No. 21-000359 FROM:Angelea Weihs, Associate Planner SUBJECT:Shum Short Plat – 1157 Queen Avenue NE (Parcel number 1065700100) 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, 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 subject property is a through-lot located at 1157 Queen Avenue NE (Parcel number 1065700100). The parcel has public street frontage on both Pierce Ave NE and Queen Ave NE and is located within the R-8 Zone. The site area is approximately 17,174 square feet (0.39 acres) and is currently vacant. The proposal is to subdivide the property into 2 lots. Access to the site appears to be proposed via residential driveways off of either Pierce Ave NE or Queen Ave NE. The proposed lot size for both Lots 1 and 2 is 7,474.99 square feet. No critical areas are mapped on the project site. Current Use: The property is currently vacant. Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property is located within the Residential-8 (R-8) zoning classification. The density range allowed in the R-8 zone is a minimum of 4.0 to a maximum of 8.0 dwelling units per 1 net acre. The Residential Medium Density Land Use designation is intended to implement the R-8 zone. Development in the R-8 zone is intended to create opportunities for new single family residential neighborhoods and to facilitate high- quality infill development that promotes reinvestment in existing single-family neighborhoods. It is intended to accommodate uses that are compatible with and support a high-quality residential environment and add to a sense of community. Detached single family residential dwelling units are permitted uses within the R-8 zoning designation. Density: The area of public and private streets and critical areas would be deducted from the gross site area to determine the “net” site area prior to calculating density. In order to calculate the proposed density of the project, any area of public road, private driveway/easement, and/or Shum Short Plat, PRE21-000359 Page 2 of 5 October 21, 2021 CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre- Applications\2021\PRE21-000359\Working Files critical area dedication must be known. All fractions which result from net density calculations shall be truncated at two (2) numbers past the decimal (e.g., 4.5678 becomes 4.56). Calculations for minimum or maximum density that result in a fraction that is 0.50 or greater shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. Those density calculations resulting in a fraction that is less than 0.50 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Based on the gross land area of 17,174 square feet, the 2-lot proposal arrives at a gross density of approximately 5.07 du/ac (2 lots / 0.39 gross acres = 5.07 du/ac). Based on the gross density of 5.07 du/ac, the subject site would meet the minimum density requirements of the zone. The applicant would be required to demonstrate compliance with the net density requirements of the zone at the time of formal application, after deduction of ROW dedication. Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development Standards for Single Family Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application (noted as “R-8 standards” herein). Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone is 5,000 square feet for parcels being subdivided. Minimum lot width is 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet for corner lots; minimum lot depth is 80 feet. Please note that for short plats of parcels smaller than one acre, one parcel may be allowed to be smaller than the required minimum lot size, if all other parcels meet the required minimum lot size standard of the zone. In the R-8 zone, one parcel may be allowed to be four thousand five hundred (4,500) square feet. Based on the pre-application submittal provided by the applicant, proposed lots 1 and 2 appear to comply with minimum lot size, width, and depth requirements of the zone. The applicant will need to demonstrate compliance with the minimum lot size, width, and depth requirements of the zone (following deduction of required ROW dedication), based on the definitions of lot size, width, and depth (RMC 4-11-120), at the time of formal land use application. Building Standards – The R-8 standards allow a maximum building coverage of 50% of the lot area. The maximum impervious coverage in the R-8 zone is 65%. The maximum wall plate height is restricted to 24 feet, and the buildings shall be not more than two stories. Roofs with a pitch equal to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six (6) vertical feet from the maximum wall plate height; common rooftop features, such as chimneys, may project an additional four (4) vertical feet from the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical projections (e.g., decks, railings, etc.) shall not extend above the maximum wall plate height unless the projection is stepped back one-and-a-half (1.5) horizontal feet from each façade for each one (1) vertical foot above the maximum wall plate height. The maximum wall plate height for detached accessory structures is 12 feet. The gross floor area must be less than that of the primary structure. Accessory structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. The new single-family homes would need to comply with the maximum building coverage, impervious surface requirements, and building height regulations of the zone at the time of building permit review. Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the property line. The required setbacks for the R-8 zone are: Front yard: 20 feet for the primary structure; Rear yard: 20 feet; Side yards: 5 feet; and secondary front yards: 15 feet. Side yard along a street is defined as the yard requirement that is neither a front yard nor a rear yard, yet it abuts a street right-of-way or private street. New single-family homes must comply with the secondary front yard setback requirements from Queen Ave NE. Compliance with required Shum Short Plat, PRE21-000359 Page 3 of 5 October 21, 2021 CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre- Applications\2021\PRE21-000359\Working Files setbacks for the new single-family homes would be verified at the time of building permit application. Access/Parking: Access to the site appears to be proposed via residential driveways off of either Pierce Ave NE or Queen Ave NE. Each lot is required to accommodate off street parking for a minimum of two vehicles. The maximum width of single loaded garage driveways shall not exceed 9 feet and double loaded garage driveways shall not exceed 16 feet. Based on restrictions identified on the underlying recorded plat maps (King County recording numbers 8004230583 and 9802099012), access to the lots via Queen Ave NE is prohibited. Compliance with driveway and parking standards would be verified at the time of building permit review. Landscaping: With the exception of critical areas, all portions of the development area not covered by structures, required parking, access, circulation or service areas, must be landscaped with native, drought-resistant vegetative cover. The minimum on-site landscape width required along street frontages is 10 feet and shall contain trees, shrubs, and landscaping. Street trees in the ROW planter will also be required. Landscaping may include hardscape such as decorative paving, rock outcroppings, fountains, plant containers, etc. Minimum planting strip widths between the curb and sidewalk are established according to the street development standards of RMC 4-6-060. Street trees and, at a minimum, groundcover are to be located in this area when present. Street trees shall be planted in the center of the planting strip between the curb and the sidewalk at the following intervals; provided, that, where right-of-way is constrained, irregular intervals and slight increases or decreases may be permitted or required. Additionally, trees shall be planted in locations that meet required spacing distances from facilities located in the right-of-way including, but not limited to, underground utilities, street lights, utility poles, traffic signs, fire hydrants, and driveways; such spacing standards are identified in the City’s Approved Tree List. Generally, the following spacing is required: i. Small-sized maturing trees: thirty feet (30') on center; ii. Medium-sized maturing trees: forty feet (40') on center; and iii. Large-sized maturing trees: fifty feet (50') on center. A conceptual landscape plan shall be provided with the building permit application as prepared by a registered Landscape Architect, a certified nurseryman or other certified professional. Storm drainage facilities are required to comply with the minimum 15-foot perimeter landscaping strip on the outside of the fence unless otherwise determined through the site plan review or subdivision review process. Please refer to landscape regulations RMC 4-4-070 for further general and specific landscape requirements. Significant Tree Retention: An aerial image of the site identifies mature trees on the site. If significant trees (greater than 6-inch caliper or 8-caliper inches for alders and cottonwoods) are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory and a tree retention plan along with an arborist report, tree retention plan and tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application as defined in RMC 4-8-120. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least 30% of significant trees. 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. Please refer to Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations RMC 4-4-130 for further general and specific tree retention and land clearing requirements. In addition to retaining 30% of existing significant trees, each new lot would be required to provide a minimum tree density of 2 trees per 5,000 square feet of lot area onsite. Protected trees that do not contribute to a lot's required minimum tree density shall be held in perpetuity within a tree protection tract. Shum Short Plat, PRE21-000359 Page 4 of 5 October 21, 2021 CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre- Applications\2021\PRE21-000359\Working Files 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 twenty percent (20%); Significant trees adjacent to critical areas and their associated buffers; and Significant trees over sixty feet (60') in height or greater than eighteen inches (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/ or 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. If staff determines that the trees cannot be retained, replacement trees, with at least a 2-inch caliper or an evergreen at least 6 feet tall, shall be planted at a rate of 12 caliper inches of new trees to replace each protected tree removed. A formal tree retention plan prepared by an arborist or landscape architect would be reviewed at the time of the Short Plat application. Fences/Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences or retaining walls as part of this project, the location must be designated on the landscape plan or grading plan. A fence and/or wall detail should also be included on the plan. A fence taller than 6 feet shall require a building permit or an explicit exemption from the Building Official. A retaining wall that is 4 feet or taller, as measured by the vertical distance from the bottom of the footing to the finish grade at the top of the wall 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. For more information about fences and retaining walls refer to RMC 4-4-040. Critical Areas: According to COR Maps, no critical areas are located on the project site.
