NOTE: The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary is preliminary and non-
binding and may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official city decision-makers. 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.
I have completed a preliminary review for the above-referenced proposal. The following comments are
based on the pre-application submittal made to the City of Renton by the applicant.

1. A Reduced Pressure Backflow Assembly (RPBA) will be required to be installed inline of the domestic
water meter to the building in an above ground insulated “hot box”, per City standard. City records do
not show a backflow device is installed at the meter at this time.
2. The existing backflow device installed on the fire service line does not meet current Department of
Health standards. The check valve assembly will need to be replaced with a double detector check valve
(DDCVA) to meet current standards. The device shall be installed outside in a vault or inside the building
in accordance with City of Renton standards.
3. If the applicant increases the size of the existing domestic water or adds new water meter(s), system
development fees and new permit fees will be assessed.

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

Project Proposal: The subject property is located at 71 SW Victoria Street (APN
1823059017). The project site slopes upward from east to west. The property is zoned
Residential – 10 dwelling units per acre (R-10) and is 48,800 square feet (1.12 acres) in
size. The applicant is proposing to remodel an existing assisted living facility to provide
“memory care”. The remodeling proposal encompasses extensive internal changes to
the first floor of the building with more minor changes to the second floor of the three
story structure. Work to the outside of the facility would include additional ramps and
replacing the existing rockery in the southeast portion of the property.
Current Use: The property is developed with an existing three story assisted living
facility.
Zoning Requirements: The subject property is zoned Residential-10 dwelling units per
acre (R-10). Assisted living facilities are permitted in the R-10 zone subject to an
approved Administrative Conditional Use Permit. The subject facility has been located
on the subject property since 1981.
