TO:Pre-application File No. 12-008
FROM:Gerald Wasser, Associate Planner
SUBJECT:Park Drive Lot Line Adjustment
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 for purchase
for $100.00 plus tax, from the Finance Division on the first floor of City Hall or online at
www.rentonwa.gov
Project Proposal: The subject site consists of seven contiguous lots between Houser
Way North on the east and the railroad tracks on the west. These lots include APN
0823059165 (801 Houser Way North), APN 0823059193 (833 Houser Way North), APN
0823059194 (851 Houser Way North), APN 0823059219 (a linear lot with no address),
APN 0823059205 (a linear lot also addressed as 833 Houser Way North), APN
0823059190 (903 Houser Way North), and APN 0823059218 (915 Houser Way North).
The applicant is proposing a lot line adjustment which would result in six lots, five of
which would each have one existing industrial building sited on it.
The purpose of the pre-application meeting is to respond to the applicant’s request for a
waiver of several formal application requirements. [Please note that submittal
requirement waivers for lot line adjustments are routinely accomplished via
telephone call or a visit to the Planning Division at the City Hall 6th floor public
counter. Such waivers are made via a completed waiver sheet.] The requested
waivers are:
1. Drainage Control Plan;
2. Drainage Report;

3. Mobile Home Park Plan;
4. Parking, Lot Coverage & Landscaping Analysis;
5. Stream or Lake Study;
6. Generalized Utilities Plan; and
7. Wetlands Report/Delineation.
Note 1: Staff will waive items 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 as reflected in the attached Waiver of
Submittal Requirements for Land Use Applications sheet. Item 3 is not applicable and
is not necessary. Item 4 will be modified as reflected in the attached Waiver of
Submittal Requirements for Land Use Applications sheet; while lot coverage and
landscape analysis will be waived, a parking analysis including a plan showing the
parking areas, vehicular access, and parking stall dimensions is necessary for each
proposed lot.
Zoning: The project site is zoned Heavy Industrial (IH).
Development Standards: The development standards for the IH zone are described in
RMC 4-2-130A, “Development Standards for Industrial Zoning Designations”. A copy of
these standards is included.
Note 2: The submitted project narrative states that all proposed lots would exceed
the minimum lot size of 35,000 square feet. The existing lot (APN 0823059190)
addressed as 903 Houser Way North is currently 35,025 square feet in size. The
proposed lot identified in the submitted materials as “Revised Lot 5”, while not
dimensioned, appears to be smaller than the existing lot. The formal lot line
application must indicate that all new lots are a minimum of 35,000 square feet.
Note 3: The submitted narrative states, in part, that “Following lot line adjustment
recording and before conveyance of any of the revised lots to third parties, one or
more easement instruments are planned to be executed and recorded with the King
County Recorder in relation to providing easement access to and across portions of
the paved driveway along the west side of Revised Lots 1 through 5.” Access to
existing parking areas on the west sides of the proposed lots would be restricted due
to a lack of access easements across property lines. Therefore, cross access easements
in the western portion of each new lot must be recorded at the same time as
recording of the lot line adjustment (please also see the Fire Department comments in
this report). Additionally, a parking plan and parking analysis based on building net
square footage must included with the formal lot adjustment submittal in order to
insure that adequate parking and access to that parking will be provided for each of
the buildings on the new lots (please also see Note 1 above). The number of required
parking spaces for industrial uses is specified in RMC 4-4-080F.10.e and is based on net
floor area.

Note 4: The submitted ALTA Survey does not include current Parcel PDII-1 (APN
0823059190) nor the northern portion of Parcel PDII-2 (APN 0823059218). If the
applicant has an ALTA Survey of this area, it would be helpful in staff’s review of the
formal lot line adjustment review.
Permit Requirements: The proposed lot line adjustment would be subject to a fee of
$463.50 ($450.00 plus 3% Technology Surcharge Fee).
