FROM: Andrew Van Gordon, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Bretzke Residence – Parcel number 1023059360
General: We have completed a preliminary review of the pre-application for the above-
referenced development proposal. The following comments on development and permitting
issues are based on the pre-application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant
and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is cautioned that information
contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision-
makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Community & Economic Development Administrator, Public
Works Administrator, Planning Director, and City Council). Review comments may also need to be
revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the
applicant. 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 proposal is to build a detached dwelling. The residence would have an 1,800
square foot footprint with a 630 square foot deck. The parcel has public street frontage on NE 10th
St along the northern lot line; access is proposed from NE 10th St.
Current Use: The property is currently undeveloped.
Zoning/Land Use: The subject property is located within the Residential-4 (R-4) zoning
classification. The Residential Low Density Land Use designation is intended to implement the R-
4 zone. The R-4 zone is established to promote urban single family residential neighborhoods
serviceable by urban utilities and containing open space amenities. It is intended to implement
the Residential Low Density Comprehensive Plan designation. The R-4 designation serves as a
transition between rural designation zones and higher density residential zones. It is intended as
an intermediate lower density residential zone.
Detached dwellings are a permitted use within the R-4 zone.
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development
Standards for Residential Zoning Designations (Primary Structures)” and RMC 4-2-110B,
“Development Standards for Residential Development (Detached Accessory Buildings)” effective
at the time of complete application (noted as “R-4 standards” herein).
Building Standards – The R-4 standards allow a maximum building coverage (including Primary
and Accessory buildings) of 35% of the lot area. The maximum impervious coverage in the R-4
zone is 50%. The maximum wall plate height is 32 feet, and the building shall be no taller than
three (3) stories. Roofs with a pitch equal to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six (6)
Bretzke Residence, PRE22-000219
July 14, 2022
Page 2
vertical feet from the maximum wall plate height; common rooftop features, such as chimneys,
may project an additional four (4) vertical feet from the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical
projections (e.g., decks, railings, etc.) shall not extend above the maximum wall plate height
unless the projection is stepped back one-and-a-half (1.5) horizontal feet from each façade for
each one (1) vertical foot above the maximum wall plate height. The maximum wall plate height
for detached accessory structures is 12 feet and the total floor area must be less than that of the
primary structure. Accessory structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations.
The property is approximately 11,374 square feet. Per the provided drawings the total building
coverage is 2,430 square feet or approximately 21.3% of the lot area. Total impervious surface
calculations were not provided; maximum impervious surface area shall not exceed 5,687
square feet. Building elevations were not provided. New development would need to comply
with the maximum building coverage, impervious surface requirements, and building height
regulations of the zone at the time of building permit review.
Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the
property line. The required setbacks for the R-4 zone for a detached building are: Front yard: 30
feet; Side yard: combined 20 feet with not less than 7.5 feet on either side; Rear yard: 25 feet.
Uncovered decks not exceeding 18 inches (18”) above the finished grade may project to any
property line. Eaves and cornices may project up to 24 inches (24”) into any required setback.
As shown the residence does not meet R-4 front or side yard setbacks. The dwelling is proposed
to have a 20-foot (20’) front yard setback and five-foot (5’) side yard setback from the eastern
lot line. The deck is 20 feet (20’) from the rear lot line and would comply if it is uncovered and
does not exceed 18 inches (18”) above the finished grade. Compliance with required setbacks
for the new structure would be verified at the time of building permit application.
Residential Design and Open Space Standards: All new primary dwelling units within the R-4 zone
are required to meet applicable standards within RMC 4-2-115 Residential Design and Open Space
Standards. The following are applicable subsections for a detached dwelling in the R-4 zone.

than 15 percent, upon proper application in writing and for good cause shown, which shall
include, but not be limited to, the absence of any reasonable alternative.
The driveway can be no wider than 16 feet at the right of way for a double loaded garage.
Significant Tree Retention: Staff review of aerial images of the site identifies there are 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
development applications. 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.
In addition to retaining 30% of existing significant trees, each lot would be required to provide a
minimum tree density of two (2) trees per 5,000 square feet of lot area onsite. Please note the
tree retention regulations will be updated this year. New developments will be subject to tree
credit requirements that incentivize retention of larger trees.
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.
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.
Bretzke Residence, PRE22-000219
July 14, 2022
Page 5
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.
According to the project narrative, no significant trees are planned to be removed. A formal tree
retention plan and tree retention worksheet prepared by an arborist or landscape architect
would be reviewed at the time of development applications.
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 sensitive and protected slopes (between 25% up
to 40% and 15% up to 25%), a high erosion hazard area and wetlands on the property. Honey
Creek, a non-fish bearing seasonal stream (Type NS), is approximately 80 feet (80’) to the west of
the parcel.
Geologically hazardous areas are present on the site. Whenever a proposed development
requires a development permit and a geologic hazard is present on the site of the proposed
development geotechnical studies by licensed professionals, such as a geotechnical engineer
and/or engineering geologist, are required. The required study shall demonstrate the following
review criteria can be met: (a) The proposal will not increase the threat of the geological hazard
to adjacent or abutting properties beyond pre-development conditions; and (b) The proposal will
not adversely impact other critical areas; and (c) The development can be safely accommodated
on the site. The geotechnical study must meet the requirements set forth in the City of Renton
Critical Areas Regulations, RMC 4-3-050. Per RMC 4-3-050 the City may require an independent
secondary review of any valid geotechnical reports by a qualified specialists selected by the City,
at the applicant’s expense. Based upon the results of a geotechnical report and/or independent
review, conditions of approval for developments may include increased buffers and/or increased
setbacks from buffers. Buffers are established from the top, toe, and sides of slopes. Alterations
to critical areas buffers is subject to RMC 4-3-050.I. Protected slopes also require a 15-foot
building setback beyond the required buffer.
Wetlands require the following buffers and additional 15-foot structure setback based on a
wetland report prepared by a qualified professional:

Alterations to wetland buffers may be permitted through buffer enhancement or buffer width
averaging per RMC 4-3-050I. Wetland buffer widths shall be reduced by no more than 25% of
the buffer requirement.
Type Ns streams require a minimum buffer of 50 feet with an additional structure setback from
the buffer of 15 feet. The submitted site plan does not show the location of the stream or its
associated buffer. Alterations to stream buffers may be permitted in the case of degraded
stream buffer width with enhancement or an averaged stream buffer width per RMC 4 -3-050I.
Please note a stream study, prepared by a qualified biologist, would need to verify the
classification and delineation of the stream. The city does not have a wetland biologist on staff
and may send out stream studies and wetland reports to a secondary reviewer with all costs to
be paid by the applicant. A stream study is required because of the presence of the Type NS
stream within 100 feet of the lot.
It is the applicant’s responsibility to determine whether any other critical areas are present on
the site prior to formal land use application. An administrative variance meeting the
requirements of RMC 4-9-250B.1.7 would be required to reduce the buffer widths beyond
prescribed allowances in RMC 4-3-050.
Environmental Review: The proposed project would be subject to Washington State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) due to the presence of critical areas onsite. Therefore, an
environmental checklist is a submittal requirement. An environmental determination will be
made by the Renton Environmental Review Committee.
Permit Requirements: The proposed development would require a building permit and
Environmental (SEPA) Review. Building permit fees are based on the valuation of the project and
Bretzke Residence, PRE22-000219

work completed. The average time frame for processing of an Environmental Review application
is typically six (6) to eight (8) weeks. The 2022 fee for an Environmental Review would total
$1,680.00 ($1,600 Environmental Review + $80.00 Technology Fee (5%) = $1,680.00). The fee for
an administrative variance is $1,396.50 ($1,330.00 Administrative Variance + $66.50 Technology
Fee (5%) = $1,396.50). Each modification request is $260.00. 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. Other informational applications and handouts can be found on the City’s
Digital Records Library. The City requires electronic plan submittal for all applications. Please
refer to the City’s Electronic File Standards.
Public Notice Requirements: A public information sign is required for Type II Land Use Permits
(Administrative Variance) meeting the requirements of RMC 4-8-090C.
Fees: In addition to the applicable building and construction fees, impact fees would be required.
The fee in effect at the time of residential building permit issuance will apply. For informational
purposes, the 2022 impact fees are as follows:
• A Transportation Impact Fee assessed at $10,861.69 per each new detached dwelling unit.
• A Parks Impact Fee assessed at $2,914.99 per each new detached dwelling unit.
