M E M O R A N D U M DATE: March 2, 2022 TO: Andrew Van Gordon, Senior Planner FROM: Corey Thomas, Lead Plans Review Inspector SUBJECT: Fire Station 16 1. The fire flow requirement is 3,000 gpm. Three fire hydrants are required. One within 150-feet and two within 300-feet of the proposed building. One hydrant is required within 50-feet of all fire department connections for standpipe and sprinkler systems, for each building. Existing hydrants may be counted toward the requirements if they meet current code. A looped water main is required for all fire flows over 2,500 gpm. Water is provided by King County Water District 90. A water availability certificate is required to be obtained from them. A minimum of two to three new fire hydrants shall be required to meet requirements. Please note that looped water mains need minimum setbacks around the sides of the fire station building that appear to not be able to meet with current site plan. Applicant could also propose to lower fire flow to eliminate the looped water main requirements. Also, our current records show that only a small 6-inch water main exists in SE 158th Street, and would not be sufficient to provide the required 3,000 gpm fire flow requirements. Again, current pipe sizing and available fire flow needs to be confirmed with King County Water District 90. 2. Approved fire sprinkler, fire standpipe and fire alarm systems are required throughout each building. Separate plans and permits required by the fire department. Direct outside access is required to the fire sprinkler riser room. Fully addressable and full detection is required for the fire alarm system. 3. Fire department apparatus access roadways are required within 150-feet of all points on the building. Fire lane signage required for any on site roadways.

The applicant is encouraged to review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The Development Regulations are available online at https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Renton/. Project Proposal: The project proposal is located on three parcels (366450-0007, 366450-0008, 366450-0009). 12924 – 158th Ave SE (parcel 366450-0009) has street frontage on 158th Ave SE. Parcel 366450-0007 has frontage upon an unimproved public right-of-way alley. 15815 SE 128th St (parcel 366450-0008) has street frontage on SE 128th St and is split in half by the same unimproved public right-of-way alley that parcel 366450-0007 fronts upon. All lots are within the R-4 zone. 12924 – 158th Ave SE is improved with a mobile home. Parcel 366450-0007 is vacant. 15815 SE 128th St is improved with a single-family residence with accessory structures per the King County Auditor; a review of aerial photos appears to show some sort of storage yard on the property. The total site area is approximately 130,670 square feet (2.99 acres). The proposal is to relocate an existing fire station to the project site and construct a new facility. The facility would include a fire station and separate maintenance garage. Access for fire equipment and employee parking would from 158th Ave SE and onto SE128th St. Access for the public would be from SE 128th St. Current Use: 12924 – 158th Ave SE is improved with a mobile home. Parcel 366450-0007 is vacant. 15815 SE 128th St is improved with a single-family residence with accessory structures per the King County Auditor; a review of aerial photos appears to show some sort of storage yard on the property. All existing structures and improvements are proposed to be demolished. Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property is located within the Residential-4 (R-4) zoning classification. A fire station falls under the City Government Facilities use type. Renton Regional Fire Authority Station 16, PRE22-000062 Page 2 of 6 March 17, 2022 Within the R-4 zone a City Government Facilities requires review and approval through a Conditional Use Permit subject to review by the Hearing Examiner. Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development Standards for Residential Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application (noted as “R-4 standards” herein). Building Standards – The R-4 standards allow a maximum building coverage of 35% of the lot area. The maximum impervious coverage in the R-4 zone is 50%. The allowed height of public facilities shall be determined through site plan review however in no case shall building height exceed the maximum allowed by the Airport Related Height and Use Restrictions, for uses located within the Federal Aviation Administration Airport Zones. Submitted plans would need to show compliance with the maximum building coverage, impervious surface requirements, and building height regulations of the zone with the land use application. Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the property line. The required setbacks for the R-4 zone are: Front yard: 30 feet for the primary structure; Rear yard: 25 feet; Side yards: combined 20 feet with not less than 7.5 feet on either side; and secondary front yards: 30 feet. Side yard along a street is defined as the yard requirement that is neither a front yard nor a rear yard, yet it abuts a street right-of-way or private street. New structures must comply with the secondary front yard setback requirements. Submitted plans would need to show compliance with the required setbacks of the zone with the land use application. Access/Parking: Access is proposed from 158th Ave SE and 128th St; a 16-foot wide unopened right-of-way alley runs through the middle of 15815 SE 128th St and abuts the northern property line of parcel 366450-0007. Access to 128th St is proposed via two points; the first is one-way exiting the property for the benefit of fire equipment leaving the stations and the second is for the benefit of public parking. Twenty-two total stalls are proposed: four for the benefit of the maintenance garage, 12 for the benefit of the station employees and six for the general public. Stalls are shown to be approximately 20 feet long by nine feet wide. If a use type is not specifically identified in the parking requirements, the amount of required parking shall be the same as for the most similar use. The width of any driveway for uses other than industrial, warehouse, shopping centers, single family and duplexes shall not exceed 30 feet exclusive of the radii of the returns or the taper section, the measurement being made parallel to the centerline. The maximum number of driveways shall be no more than one driveway for each 165 feet of street frontage serving any one property or among abutting properties under unified ownership or control. For every additional 165 feet of street frontage another driveway may be permitted. The one-way driveway for fire equipment leaving the station exceeds dimensional standards and would require modification for approval. The project location has approximately 713 feet of frontage (180 feet on SE 128th St, 135 feet on 158th Ave SE, 398 feet along the alley way). Planning supports improving the existing alley and using it for all access into the project area with access onto SE 128th St for fire equipment exiting the station. The City Government Facilities use type in not listed within RMC 4-4-080 Parking, Loading and Driveway Regulations. One of the decision criteria for approval of a Conditional Use Permit is that adequate parking is provided. As there is not prescribed parking requirement within the Renton Municipal Code a parking study identifying the number of spaces needed for the use would be required; this would be used as a basis for the recommendation. Proposed parking, including bicycle parking, shall meet the requirements of RMC 4-4-080. Renton Regional Fire Authority Station 16, PRE22-000062 Page 3 of 6 March 17, 2022 Landscaping: With the exception of critical areas, all portions of the development area not covered by structures, required parking, access, circulation or service areas, must be landscaped with native, drought-resistant vegetative cover. The minimum on-site landscape width required along street frontages is 10 feet and shall contain trees, shrubs, and landscaping. Street trees in the ROW planter will also be required. Landscaping may include hardscape such as decorative paving, rock outcroppings, fountains, plant containers, etc. Minimum planting strip widths between the curb and sidewalk are established according to the street development standards of RMC 4-6-060. Street trees and, at a minimum, groundcover is to be located in this area when present. Street trees shall be planted in the center of the planting strip between the curb and the sidewalk at the following intervals; provided, that, where right-of-way is constrained, irregular intervals and slight increases or decreases may be permitted or required. Additionally, trees shall be planted in locations that meet required spacing distances from facilities located in the right- of-way including, but not limited to, underground utilities, street lights, utility poles, traffic signs, fire hydrants, and driveways; such spacing standards are identified in the City’s Approved Tree List. Generally, the following spacing is required: i. Small-sized maturing trees: thirty feet (30') on center; ii. Medium-sized maturing trees: forty feet (40') on center; and iii. Large-sized maturing trees: fifty feet (50') on center. For nonresidential development in a residential zone, a 15’ wide partially sight obscuring landscaped visual barrier or 10’ wide fully sight-obscuring visual barrier along common property lines is required. Parking areas shall meet the minimum requirements for perimeter and interior parking lot landscaping. A conceptual landscape plan shall be provided with the land use application as prepared by a licensed Landscape Architect, a certified nurseryman or other certified professional. Storm drainage facilities are required to comply with the minimum 15-foot perimeter landscaping strip on the outside of the fence unless otherwise determined through the site plan review or subdivision review process. Please refer to landscape regulations RMC 4-4-070 for further general and specific landscape requirements. Significant Tree Retention: Staff review of aerial image of the site identifies mature trees on the site. If significant trees (greater than 6-inch caliper or 8-caliper inches for alders and cottonwoods) are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory and a tree retention plan along with an arborist report, tree retention plan and tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application as defined in RMC 4-8-120. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least 30% of significant trees. The Administrator may authorize the planting of replacement trees on the site if it can be demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction that an insufficient number of trees can be retained. Please refer to Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations RMC 4-4-130 for further general and specific tree retention and land clearing requirements. Significant trees shall be retained in the following priority order: Priority One: Landmark trees; significant trees that form a continuous canopy; significant trees on slopes greater than twenty percent (20%); Significant trees adjacent to critical areas and their associated buffers; and Significant trees over sixty feet (60') in height or greater than eighteen inches (18") caliper. Priority Two: Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be preserved; Other significant native evergreen or deciduous trees; and Other significant non- native trees. Renton Regional Fire Authority Station 16, PRE22-000062 Page 4 of 6 March 17, 2022 Priority Three: Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other trees have been evaluated for retention and are not able to be retained, unless the alders and/ or cottonwoods are used as part of an approved enhancement project within a critical area or its buffer. The Administrator may require independent review of any land use application that involves tree removal and land clearing at the City's discretion. If staff determines that the trees cannot be retained, replacement trees, with at least a 2-inch caliper or an evergreen at least 6 feet tall, shall be planted at a rate of 12 caliper inches of new trees to replace each protected tree removed. Trees located within public rights-of-way and shared driveways do not count towards tree retention standards. A formal tree retention plan prepared by an arborist or landscape architect would be reviewed at the time of Land Use Application review. Fences/Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences or retaining walls as part of this project, the location must be designated on the landscape plan and grading plan with top of wall and bottom of wall elevations. A fence and/or wall detail should also be included on the plan. A retaining wall that is 4 feet or taller, as measured by the vertical distance from the bottom of the footing to the finish grade at the top of the wall requires a building permit. The maximum height of any fence or retaining wall is 72-inches subject to further height limitations in setbacks and clear vision areas noted in RMC 4-4-040D. A fence shall not be constructed on top of a retaining wall unless the total combined height of the retaining wall and the fence does not exceed the allowed height of a standalone fence. For more information about fences and retaining walls refer to RMC 4-4-040. Critical Areas: According to COR Maps, there are no critical areas mapped on the property. Environmental Review: As the proposal is greater than 4,000 square feet in size, Environmental Review is required. Lot Combination: The proposal is located over multiple separate lots. In order to make sure all improvements are linked to the project as a whole a lot combination is needed. Proposed improvements, specifically the maintenance garage, encroach upon existing lot lines. Of note, 15815 SE 128th St is two separate legal lots as it is split by right-of-way. A lot combination would be recommended as a condition of approval for the Conditional Use Permit. Conditional Use Permits: For projects requiring a public hearing, the Hearing Examiner shall take action in accordance with the procedures of RMC 4-8-100, Application and Decision – General, as it exists or may be amended. A Site Plan Review will also be required to determine height. Conditional Use (Hearing): A conditional use is a land use which may be permitted within a zoning district following review by staff to establish conditions mitigating impacts of the use and to assure compatibility with other uses in the district. Staff will consider the following criteria when reviewing a request for a conditional use permit: 1. Consistency with Plans and Regulations: The proposed use shall be compatible with the general goals, objectives, policies and standards of the Comprehensive Plan, the zoning regulations and any other plans, programs, maps or ordinances of the City of Renton. 2. Appropriate Location: The proposed location shall not result in the detrimental overconcentration of a particular use within the City or within the immediate area of the proposed use. The proposed location shall be suited for the proposed use. Renton Regional Fire Authority Station 16, PRE22-000062 Page 5 of 6 March 17, 2022 3. Effect on Adjacent Properties: The proposed use at the proposed location shall not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property. 4. Compatibility: The proposed use shall be compatible with the scale and character of the neighborhood. 5. Parking: Adequate parking is, or will be made, available. 6. Traffic: The use shall ensure safe movement for vehicles and pedestrians and shall mitigate potential effects on the surrounding area. 7. Noise, Light and Glare: Potential noise, light and glare impacts from the proposed use shall be evaluated and mitigated. 8. Landscaping: Landscaping shall be provided in all areas not occupied by buildings, paving, or critical areas. The applicant will need to show that the proposal meets all applicable decision criteria. A Public Hearing would be required. Site Plan Approval: The purpose of the site plan review process is to analyze the detailed arrangement of project elements to mitigate negative impacts where necessary to ensure project compatibility with the physical characteristics of a site and with the surrounding area. Site plan review ensures quality development consistent with City goals and policies. Site plan review analyzes elements including, but not limited to, site layout, building orientation and design, pedestrian and vehicular environment, landscaping, natural features of the site, screening and buffering, parking and loading facilities, and illumination to ensure compatibility with potential future development. Decisional criteria for site plan approval are identified in RMC 4-9-200.E.3. Permit Requirements: The proposal would require an Environmental Review and a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit, and Site Plan Review. The application would be reviewed within an estimated time frame of eight to twelve weeks. The 2022 fees would total $9,135.00 ($3,300 Conditional Use Permit + $3,800 Hearing Examiner Review Site Plan Review + $1,600 SEPA + $435.00 Technology Fee (5%) = $9,135.00). A lot combination would be required as part of the approval for the Conditional Use Permit; a lot combination has a fee of $535.50 ($510.00 Lot Combination + $25.50 Technology Fee). A 5% technology fee added to the total cost of the reviews would also be assessed at the time of land use application. All fees are subject to change. Detailed information regarding the land use permit application submittal requirements can be found on the Conditional Use Submittal Requirements, Lot Combination, Site Plan Review and Environmental Review Submittal Requirements checklists. Other informational applications and handouts can be found on the City’s Digital Records Library. The City requires electronic plan submittal for all applications.
