PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Topgolf, is requesting a Tier 1 Temporary Use Permit (TUP) to use the
phase 2 surface parking area following the grand opening of the premier golf entertainment complex to avoid
parking overspill impacts. The applicant received land use approval for the Topgolf Renton recreational facility
and mixed-use development on August 19, 2019 (LUA19-000094). In September 2021, the applicant received
a minor modification and an addendum to the Topgolf Determination of Non-Significance to increase the first
phase development area from 10.61 acres to 12.22 acres. The additional 1.61 acres, added to phase one,
included 172 more surface parking stalls and associated parking lot improvements on the east side of the 13.68-
acre parcel (Exhibit 2). As a result, the proposed parking count for phase one improvements increased from
336 to 508 stalls. The additional stalls were constructed in advance of the second project phase to increase the
marketability of future phase 2 and create pad-ready conditions for the next development phase. Following
the early period of popularity for the first Topgolf in the State of Washington, which is anticipated to include
an outsized parking demand at the facility, the applicant is proposing to add and maintain temporary
construction fencing / barricades to restrict access to these additional parking stalls that were allowed to be
constructed under the minor modification permit in 2021. The placement of the barricades would lower the
designated Topgolf facility parking count back to or near the initial parking count permitted under Topgolf

appeal within the 14-day appeal time frame.
