OF ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
ISSUANCE OF A DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE (DNS)
POSTED TO NOTIFY INTERESTED PERSONS OF AN ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION
PROJECT NAME: WESTON HEIGHTS NORTH SHORT PLAT
PROJECT NUMBER: LUA16-000140, ECF, SHPL-A, MOD
LOCATION: 802 NILE AVE NE (PARCEL NOS. 112305-9002 AND 947794RT-L)
Description: The applicant is requesting Preliminary Short Plat approval, a
Modification to the street standards (RMC 4-6-060) for a reduction in the required right-of-way
dedication width, and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the subdivision of an existing 107,639 square
foot (2.47 acre) site zoned Residential-4 (R-4) into 6 lots for the future construction of single family
residences. The applicant is proposing to utilize the small lot cluster provisions, which would allow
them to utilize the R-6 development standards in exchange for setting aside 20 percent of site site as
open space with a soft surface public trail. The proposed lots would range in area from 7,173 square
feet to 32,018 square feet. An existing residence and detached outbuilding are proposed to remain on
Lot 1. The proposed short plat would also result in the creation of 3 tracts (Tracts A, B, and C) and a
Private Road C. The Private Road is proposed to provide access to the abutting Weston Heights Plat
(LUA14-000958) to the south of the project site. Access to the new lots is proposed via residential
driveways onto NE 7th Place. A Category 3 wetland is mapped on the project site. A Category 3
wetland requires a 75-foot buffer. This applicant is proposing a 25 percent buffer reduction with
enhancement, which would result in a 56.25-foot enhanced buffer.
THE CITY OF RENTON ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW COMMITTEE (ERC) HAS DETERMINED THAT THE PROPOSED
ACTION DOES NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT.
