A Master Application has been filed and accepted with the Department of Community & Economic Development

Public Approvals.
DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: May 5, 2017
LAND USE NUMBER: LUA17, 000237, ECF PPUD, HEX
PROJECT NAME: VIA 405 Apartments
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting a Preliminary Planned Urban Development (PUD) land
use decision and a threshold determination under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) for the construction of 270
multi-family dwelling units and associated improvements. The 2.6 acre site is located within the Commercial Office (CO)
zoning classification and Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) land use designation. The existing movie theater building will be
removed.
Proposed structural improvements include a new eight (8) story 289,300 square foot building with parking located on
portions of the first two (2) floors and dwelling units and amenity areas located on the upper six (6) floors. The net density
of the completed project would result in 141 dwelling units per acre. Initial ground level uses along the north façade
include amenity space, residential lobby, and the building’s leasing office. Exterior improvements include a plaza and
active recreation space abutting the northeast portion of the building, pedestrian pathway link to the Metro Park and Ride
on S. Grady Way, landscaping, and stormwater improvements. Access to the site includes driveway easements connecting
to S. Grady Way and S. Renton Village Pl.
Critical Areas identified on City maps include Flood Hazard, Seismic Hazard, Regulated Slopes, and a Non-Fish Perennial
(Np) stream. A stream buffer determination as it relates to nonregulated sites separated from critical areas by pre-existing
substantial improvements will also be a component of the PUD application. The applicant has identified 63 significant
trees onsite and proposes to retain 32 trees abutting the stream and two (2) trees outside of the stream vicinity. The
following reports have been submitted with the land use application: Preliminary Technical Information Report, Arborist
Report, Critical Areas Assessment, and Geotechnical Report.
