NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PROPOSED DETERMINATION OF
NON-SIGNIFICANCE-MITIGATED (DNS-M)
A Master Application has been filed and accepted with the Department of Community & Economic Development
(CED) – Planning Division of the City of Renton. The following briefly describes the application and the necessary
Public Approvals.
DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: March 11, 2016
LAND USE NUMBER: LUA16-000165, ECF, PP, SM
PROJECT NAME: Senza Lakeview Preliminary Plat
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Preliminary Plat, SEPA Environmental Review and a
Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for approval of a 17-lot subdivision. The 3.83 acre site is located at 3907 Park
Ave N (APN's 334270-0415, -0420, -0425, and -0427) within the Residential-6 zoning district. The parcel is proposed to
be divided into 17 residential lots, a 3,176 sf tract for water quality Stormfilter cartridge vault to treat runoff, and a
7,995 sf open space tract. The vault tract, located at the northwest corner of the site would discharge to the City storm
water system and eventually flow to Lake Washington roughly 1/8 mile downstream. The applicant would dedicate
27,507 sf for public right-of-way to serve the new lots. The proposed lots would range in size from 7,000 sf to 9,531 sf
with an average lot size of 7,470 sf. The plat would result in a net density of 5.3 du/ac. The project site is fronted by N
40th St to the north, Park Ave N to the east, and Lake Washington Blvd N to the west. Access to the site would be gained
by a new public roadway (Road A) off of N 40th St to the south and a second internal public road (Road B) heading west
off of Road A which terminates in a hammerhead turnaround.
There are moderate landslide hazards and steep slopes mapped in the area per City of Renton (COR) critical areas map.
Frontage improvements along Lake Washington Blvd N are within 200 ft of Lake Washington or the regulated shoreline
(Lake Washington Reach D). There are no known indications of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity of the site. Soils
consist of medium dense to dense, silty sand with gravel consistent with Vashon till. The site slopes generally east to
west across the property at slopes ranging from 1-40% with a total fall of approximately 70 ft. All existing improvements
and buildings would be demolished or removed during plat construction. The applicant has proposed to retain five (5) of
the 40 significant trees onsite. The applicant has submitted a Technical Information Report, Arborist Report, Traffic
Assessment, and a Geotechnical Engineering Study with the application.
PROJECT LOCATION: 3907 Park Ave N, Renton WA 98056
