City of Renton Shoreline Substantial Development Permit 2. City of Renton Building Permit 3. Ecology Stormwater General Permit 4. City of Renton Floodplain Development Permit 5. Ecology Construction Stormwater General Permit. The site is zoned Commercial Office Residential (COR). Property to the east is also COR, south is Cedar River and Resource Conservation (RC) south of the river, north on the other side of Hwy 169 is also RC and west is the Cedar River Park. Current use of the site is equipment storage. In the past it has been used as a concrete batch plant. The site is bordered by the Cedar River on the south side. According to the Geotech report the site is primarily gravel sand with variable silt content (Alluvium). The site generally drains to the south toward the Cedar River. The project includes development of a mixed- use multifamily apartment and retail complex, a commercial office development pad and extensive shoreline buffer restoration and public access improvements on the 546,121 SF site. There are two points of access; off Cedar River Park Drive and one driveway off HWY 169. There is an existing 6’ sidewalk adjacent to the HWY 169, per City requirements we would replace that with an 8’ landscape strip and a new 8’ sidewalk behind that. Approximately 10’ of property would need to be dedicated to provide these improvements. Estimate of the construction cost is $124 M. with the fair market value estimated at $150 M. We anticipate 3,662 CY of export and 42,316 CY of import for the project. There will be no fill within the floodway, and no net fill within the floodplain. 19 Deciduous trees ranging from 9”-21” will be removed. There will be a couple job trailers used for staff during construction. No deviations from the City Zoning code being requested. The first 100’ from the river’s ordinary high- water mark will be extensive buffer enhancement and public access trail. The closest structure will be 135’ from the ordinary high-water mark. Approximately 75% of the existing shoreline is a concrete bulkhead that tapers down moving west. A portion of the bulkhead will be lowered to restore floodplain storage and habitat. No views from existing residential units will be obstructed.
