PROJECT NAME: Sonic Drive-in Restaurant
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Administrative Site Plan Review, Environmental
(SEPA) Review and a parking modification for the construction of a new Sonic Drive-in Restaurant with associated drive-
thru, canopy covered drive-in hop stalls, parking, landscaping, and infrastructure improvements. The proposed one-story
building would be approximately 2,668 square feet in size. The site is located at 735 Hardie Ave SW at the intersection of
Rainier Ave S and Hardie Ave SW within the Walmart parking lot. The site contains perimeter and internal landscaping
with 16 trees and 64 surface parking stalls. The 0.73 acre site is within the Commercial & Mixed Use (CMU) land use
designation and the Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning classification. Access to the site would continue to be provided
internally from the Walmart Shopping Center. The proposal includes retention of 14 trees and a reduction to the existing
parking stalls from 64 to 25 parking spaces. Per RMC 4-4-080 a maximum of 13 stalls are allowed onsite, thus the
applicant is requesting a parking modification in order to exceed the number of parking spaces allowed onsite. The site
contains high seismic hazards.
PROJECT LOCATION: 735 Hardie Ave SW, Renton, WA 98057
OPTIONAL DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE, MITIGATED (DNS-M): As the Lead Agency, the City of Renton has
determined that significant environmental impacts are unlikely to result from the proposed project. Therefore, as
permitted under the RCW 43.21C.110, the City of Renton is using the Optional DNS-M process to give notice that a
DNS-M is likely to be issued. Comment periods for the project and the proposed DNS-M are integrated into a single
comment period. There will be no comment period following the issuance of the Threshold Determination of Non-
