TO:Pre-Application File No. 12-046
FROM:Rocale Timmons, Associate Planner
SUBJECT:King Co. Day Use Clinic (3000 NE 4th St.)
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 $50.00 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 3000 NE 4th St on the north side of NE 4th St
between Kirkland and Monroe Ave NE. The project site is approximately 25 acres in area and is
zoned Light Industrial (IL). The subject site contains the Renton Technical College Campus.
The applicant is proposing a tenant improvement to Building M in order to accommodate the
King County Day-Use clinic currently located across NE 4th St. The building was formerly used by
the Family Life Center and a parent education and Day Care Center.
Current Use: Renton Technical College Campus
Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject site is within the Light Industrial (IL) zoning
classification on the City’s Zoning Map. The proposed use would be considered “Other
Government Offices and Facilities.
“Other Government Offices and Facilities” require a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit
within the IL zoning classification.
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-130A, “Development
Standards for Industrial Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application
(noted as “IL standards” herein). A copy of these standards is included herewith. The subject
site is currently developed with existing structures along with associated parking and utility
improvements. The proposed change of use would require the existing structure to be brought
into compliance all Fire Safety and Building Occupancy requirements.

Critical Areas: There appears to be no critical areas on site. If there is any indication of critical
areas on the site, this must be disclosed to the City prior to development and appropriate
studies must be undertaken.
Environmental Review: The project is Categorically Exempt from SEPA requirements and,
therefore, Environmental Review would not be required.
Permit Requirements:
The proposal would require Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit approval. All applications
can be reviewed concurrently in an estimated time frame of 8 weeks once a complete
application is accepted. The Conditional Use Permit application fee is $2,000. There will also be
a technology fee, of 3 %, based on the total land use application fees for the project. Detailed
information regarding the land use application submittal is provided in the attached handouts.
In addition to the required land use permits, separate construction, building and sign permits
would be required. The review of these permits may occur concurrently with the review of
the land use permits, but cannot be issued prior to the completion of any appeal periods.
A handout listing all of the City’s Development related fees in attached for your review.
