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 property is located at 17033 116th Avenue SE (APN2923059081). The daycare is proposed to operate within an existing residential structure. King County Records indicate that the structure is residential. Washington State Department of Early Learning records for Circle Time Childcare show that an initial inspection was conducted by the licensor on December 7, 2011. The records do not include notification of a letter to local planning office; nor are the local ordinances addressed. The inspection report indicates that a Certificate of Occupancy was issued on November 18, 2011. However, we understand that the City of Renton Building Department rescinded this Certificate of Occupancy due to Building Code issues. The site contains outdoor play areas with play equipment. Current Use: The applicant is currently operating as a day care center on the project site. Past use of the site as a daycare is not established through City of Renton records. It appears from an appraisal document included in the submittal that a day care has previously operated at this site, and that King County zoning may have permitted day cares in the zone when the use was established. If a new day care was established in the zone today, a Conditional Use Permit would be required. Love’s Learning Day Care Center, PRE12-021 Page 2 of 2 March 21, 2012 h:\ced\planning\current planning\preapps\pre012-021,love's learning day care #2,r-14.doc Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property is zoned Residential – 14 dwelling units per acre (R-14). The R-14 zone day care centers in the R-14 Zone subject to the approval of a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit. Since a day care center has been operating on this site prior to annexation without a lapse, then the Conditional Use Permit would not be needed. There may be unresolved issues with regard to the occupancy of the structure, which must be resolved with the Building Official. Access/Parking: Parking is located on the western portion of the subject property, along the west façade of the structure. Vehicular access is taken from 116th Ave SE via SE170th Ct. Critical Areas: No critical areas appear to be located on the proposed project site. Environmental Review: The proposed project is categorically exempt from Environmental (SEPA) Review unless critical areas are found to be present on the project site. Permit Requirements: Land Use Permits are not required.
