DATE: September 8, 2022
TO: Pre-Application File No. 22-000305
FROM: Brittany Gillia, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Valley View Mobile Home Park 4-Lot Expansion 16405 Maple
Valley Hwy
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 www.rentonwa.gov.
Project Proposal: The subject property is located at 16405 Maple Valley Hwy (APN 2323059029).
The applicant is proposing to add four (4) new lots to an existing mobile home park, Valley View
Mobile Home Park, that is located on a parcel split between two jurisdictions- the mobile home
park property is on the north side of the parcel and within Renton city limits. There is a long pipe
stem portion on the south end of the parcel that is located within Unincorporated King County.
The entire parcel is 510,581 sq ft (11.72 acres) and the portion residing within Renton city limits
is located in the Residential-8 (R-8) zone and in the Residential Medium Density land use
designation. In order to accommodate the proposed lots, the applicant would remove two
existing structures: a clubhouse and a storage structure. Access to each new lot appears to be
proposed along the existing private roadway that serves the existing mobile homes and would
accommodate a 25’x56’ mobile home with two (2) parking stalls. The applicant is proposing to
have the property re-zoned to Residential Mobile Home (RMH) and to provide private street
improvements, including asphalt or concrete streets, sidewalks, and new connections to Cedar
River Water and Sewer district. There is a stream and several wetlands mapped on the parcel and
the applicant has not clarified if they are proposing to remove any trees.
Current Use: The parcel is currently functioning as a Mobile Home Park and is developed with
several mobile homes and detached accessory structures that may be removed for the proposal.
Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property is located within the Residential-8 (R-8)
zoning classification. The density range allowed in the R-8 zone is a minimum of 4.0 to a maximum
of 8.0 dwelling units per 1 net acre. The Residential Medium Density Land Use designation is
intended to implement the R-8 zone. Development in the R-8 zone is intended to create
Valley View Mobile Home Park 4-Lot Expansion

September 8, 2022
CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre-
Applications\2022\PRE22-000305
opportunities for new single family residential neighborhoods and to facilitate high-quality infill
development that promotes reinvestment in existing single-family neighborhoods. It is intended
to accommodate uses that are compatible with and support a high-quality residential
environment and add to a sense of community. Detached single family residential dwelling units
are permitted uses within the R-8 zoning designation. In the R-8 zone, each legal lot has a
maximum of one (1) dwelling with one (1) accessory dwelling unit. The Mobile Home Park use
is nonconforming within the R-8 zone and would not be able to be expanded. According to RMC
4-10-060, Nonconforming Uses, “No additional building, whether temporary or permanent,
shall be erected upon a property with a nonconforming use for purposes of expanding or
extending a nonconforming use.” To pursue a rezoning classification and change the
Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the site, the applicant would need to have their
request evaluated through a Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
Density: The area of public and private streets and critical areas would be deducted from the
gross site area to determine the “net” site area prior to calculating density. In order to calculate
the proposed density of the project, any area of public road, private driveway/easement, and/or
critical area dedication must be known. Public and private alleys are not deducted for the purpose
of net density calculation. All fractions which result from net density calculations shall be
truncated at two (2) numbers past the decimal (e.g., 4.5678 becomes 4.56). Calculations for
minimum or maximum density that result in a fraction that is 0.50 or greater shall be rounded up
to the nearest whole number. Those density calculations resulting in a fraction that is less than
0.50 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. Based on the gross land area of
510,581 square feet, the 58 dwelling proposal arrives at a gross density of approximately 4.99
du/ac (58 units / 11.72 gross acres = 6.06 du/ac). The mobile home park use is currently legally
non-conforming and would not be allowed to expand or introduce new dwelling units. If the
applicant would propose a subdivision, a completed density worksheet would be required with
the land use application. The applicant would be required to demonstrate compliance with the
net density requirements of the zone at the time of formal application.
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development
Standards for Single Family Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application
(noted as “R-8 standards” herein).
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone is 5,000
square feet for parcels being subdivided. Minimum lot width is 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet
for corner lots; minimum lot depth is 80 feet. Please note that for short plats of parcels smaller
than one acre, one parcel may be allowed to be smaller than the required minimum lot size, if all
other parcels meet the required minimum lot size standard of the zone. In the R-8 zone, one parcel
may be allowed to be four thousand five hundred (4,500) square feet. See RMC 4-2-110C
“Development Standards for Residential Manufactured Home Park Zoning Designation” for
standards that would apply if a rezone were granted. Based on the submittal materials provided
by the applicant, the proposal would not change the parcel dimensions. The applicant would
need to demonstrate compliance with the minimum lot size, width, and depth requirements of
the zone based on the definitions of lot size, width, and depth as found in RMC 4-11-120, at the
time of formal land use application.
Building Standards – The R-8 standards allow a maximum building coverage of 50% of the lot area.
The maximum impervious coverage in the R-8 zone is 65%. The maximum wall plate height is
restricted to 24 feet, and the buildings shall be not more than two stories. Roofs with a pitch equal

to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six (6) 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 height for detached accessory structures is 12 feet. The gross floor
area must be less than that of the primary structure. Accessory structures are also included in
building lot coverage calculations. See RMC 4-2-110C “Development Standards for Residential
Manufactured Home Park Zoning Designation” for standards that would apply if a rezone were
granted. In the R-8 zone, manufactured homes are only allowed if they comply with the
Residential Design and Open Space Standards found in RMC 4-2-115. Compliance with the
building standards for the new dwellings would be required to be demonstrated 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 primary structures in the R-8 zone are: Front yard: 20 feet
for the primary structure; Secondary front yard: 15 feet; Rear yard: 25 feet; and Side yards: 5 feet.
See RMC 4-2-110C “Development Standards for Residential Manufactured Home Park Zoning
Designation” for standards that would apply if a rezone were granted. The provided materials did
not include information on the existing “lots” present on the subject parcel. The proposed homes
appear to comply with minimum setback standards for the R-8 zone. Compliance with the
setback standards for the new homes would be required to be demonstrated at the time of
building permit review.
Landscaping: With the exception of critical areas, all pervious area shall have landscape
treatment. Landscaping may include hardscape such as decorative paving, rock outcroppings,
fountains, plant containers, etc. Ten feet (10') of on-site landscaping is required along all public
street frontages. Street trees and landscaping are required within the Right of Way on public
streets. Minimum planting strip widths between the curb and sidewalk are established according
to the street development standards of RMC 4-6-060. Street trees and, at a minimum,
groundcover per subsection L2 of RMC 4-4-070 shall be planted within right of way planting strips
pursuant to the standards in subsection F.2 of RMC 4-4-070, provided there shall be a minimum
of one street tree planted per lot. Where there is insufficient right of way space or no public
frontage, street trees are required in the front yard subject to approval of the Administrator. A
minimum of two (2) trees are to be located in the front yard prior to final inspection. See RMC 4-
2-110C “Development Standards for Residential Manufactured Home Park Zoning Designation”
for standards that would apply if a rezone were granted. A conceptual landscape plan shall be
provided with the formal land use application as prepared by a registered Landscape Architect,
a certified nurseryman or other certified professional.
Significant Tree Retention: Application materials identify that there are mature trees on the site.
When 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 formal land
use application as defined in RMC 4-8-120. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at
least 30% of significant trees. Please refer to RMC 4-4-130, Tree Retention and Land Clearing
Regulations for further general and specific tree retention and land clearing requirements.

Applications\2022\PRE22-000305
In addition to retaining a minimum of 30% of existing significant trees, each new lot would be
required to provide a minimum tree density of 30 tree credits per net acre. Tree credits encourage
retention of existing significant trees with larger trees being worth more tree credits.

Protected trees within a subdivision shall be retained in the order of priority listed in RMC 4-4-
130H2. Protection of trees or groves by placement within a dedicated tract (Tier 1) is the highest
priority.
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; significant trees over sixty feet (60') in height or greater than eighteen inches
(18") caliper; and trees that shelter interior trees or trees on abutting properties from strong
winds, which could otherwise allow such sheltered trees to be blown down if removed.
Priority Two: Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be preserved; other
significant native evergreen or deciduous trees; and other significant non-native trees.

CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre-
Applications\2022\PRE22-000305
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.
The Administrator may require independent review of any land use application that involves tree
removal and land clearing at the City's discretion.
The Administrator may authorize the planting of replacement trees on the site if it can be
demonstrated to the Administrator's satisfaction that replacement requirements in RMC 4-4-
130H1e can be met.
Tree retention standards shall be applied to the developable area, as defined in RMC 4-11-040,
Definitions D, of a property. A formal tree retention plan and tree retention worksheet prepared
by an arborist or landscape architect would be reviewed at the time of the land use application.
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 or grading plan. A fence and/or wall detail
should also be included on the plan. A fence taller than 6 feet shall require a building permit or
an explicit exemption from the Building Official. 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. 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.
Access/Parking: In the R-8 zone, each lot is required to accommodate off street parking for a
minimum of two (2) vehicles. The maximum width of single loaded garage driveways shall not
exceed nine feet (9’) and double loaded garage driveways shall not exceed 16 feet. Maximum
driveway slopes shall not exceed 15 percent; provided, that driveways exceeding eight percent
(8%) shall provide slotted drains at the lower end with positive drainage discharge to restrict
runoff from entering the garage/residence or crossing any public sidewalk. Driveways shall not be
closer than five feet (5’) to any property line except as allowed per RMC 4-4-080I9, Joint Use
Driveways. See RMC 4-2-110C “Development Standards for Residential Manufactured Home Park
Zoning Designation” for standards that would apply if a rezone were granted. If the project is
valued over $175,000, the project layout would need to be revised to comply with Renton’s
Complete Street Standards.
Driveways: The maximum driveway slopes cannot exceed 15%. If the grade exceeds 15%, a
variance is required. Driveways exceeding eight percent (8%) shall provide slotted drains at the
lower end with positive drainage discharge to restrict runoff from entering the garage/residence
or crossing any public sidewalk. Compliance with driveway standards would be verified at the
time of building permit review.
Critical Areas: According to COR Maps there is an unidentified stream, high erosion hazards, high
seismic hazards and a regulated shoreline (CR-D: Cedar River Reaches) mapped on the project
site. According to the applicant’s submittal, there may also be several unidentified wetlands on
the west edge of the parcel. The applicant would be required to provide a wetland report, stream
study, and geotechnical report at the time of formal land use application. The wetland report
and stream study would be required to address compliance with any required wetland and/or
