EVALUATION FORM & DECISION
DATE OF DECISION: January 20, 2023
PROJECT NUMBER: LUA23-000018, TP
PROJECT NAME: Boeing Temporary Fencing
PROJECT MANAGER: Alex Morganroth, Senior Planner
APPLICANT: Mark Clement
PO Box 3707, MS 1W-09, Seattle, WA 98124
OWNER: Same as applicant
CONTACT: Same as applicant
PROJECT LOCATION: Boeing S1, S3, E3, and E6 Parking Lots (APN 0723059001, 0886610020, 0886610030,
0886610040, 0823059209, 0823059019, 0886610060)
DATE OF EXPIRATION: September 20, 2023
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Mark Clement on behalf of The Boeing Company, is requesting a Tier 1
Temporary Use Permit (TUP) pursuant to Renton Municipal Code Section 4-9-240 in order to install temporary
chain-link fencing panels along the perimeter of four (4) Boeing-owned surface parking lots (APN 0723059001,
0886610020, 0886610030, 0886610040, 0823059209, 0823059019, 0886610060). The temporary fencing is
proposed on the south side of the S3 lot, the east side of the S1 lot, the south and west sides of the E6, and the
south and east side of the E3 lot (see site plan, attached). The proposed temporary six (6) foot tall uncoated
chain-link fencing would be anchored via 33 pound ballast weights placed on the panel feet. The applicant is
not proposing the installation of gated access to the parking lots and will not include fencing elements that
restrict the movement of vehicles entering or exiting the lots. According to the applicant, the purpose of the
temporary fencing is to improve security for parking lot users while Boeing develops a permanent fencing plan
for the various parking lots. A conceptual permanent fencing plan was submitted by the applicant with the
intent to implement a final plan in the second half of 2023 (see site plan, attached). The proposed permanent
fencing would require a Special Administrative Fence Permit, at which time the proposal would be reviewed for
compliance with all fence standards in RMC 4-4-040, including but not limited to those related to material,
landscaping, and setbacks. All four (4) parking lots where the temporary fencing would be located are in the
Urban Center -2 (UC-2) zoning designation. Critical areas mapped on the sites include a high seismic hazard

area and the Wellhead Protection Area Zone 1. No ground disturbance activity is proposed and no vegetation
is proposed for removal. The applicant submitted an Abatement Agreement, dated January 18, 2023, with the
application (attached).
Per RMC 4-9-240, the Administrator may approve, deny, modify, or condition an application for a temporary
use permit, based on consideration of the following factors:
1. The temporary use will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, nor
injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity of the temporary use; and
2. Adequate parking facilities and vehicle ingress and egress are provided to serve the temporary use
and any existing uses on the site; and
3. Hours of operation of the temporary use are specified, and would not adversely impact surrounding
uses; and
4. The temporary use will not cause nuisance factors such as noise, light, or glare which adversely
impact surrounding uses; and
5. If applicable, the applicant has obtained the required right-of-way use permit.
Staff Comment: Based on the temporary nature of the fencing and its location in a highly urbanized, auto-
centric environment, staff determined that the temporary use will not be materially detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare, nor injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity. No reduction to parking or
change to ingress/egress would occur as a result of the temporary fencing installation and the fencing is not
anticipated to cause nuisance factors such as noise, light, or glare. No right-of-way use permit is required as
the temporary fencing would be located on private property.
The Temporary Use Permit is hereby Approved with Conditions* :
*CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. The sites occupied by the temporary use shall be restored to the original condition when the proposed
permanent fencing is installed, or upon expiration of the TUP on September 20, 2023, whichever comes
first.
2. The applicant shall submit a complete Special Administrative Fence Permit application for the proposed
permanent fencing within ninety (90) days of TUP issuance, unless an extension is granted by the
Current Planning Project Manager for justifiable cause.
3. The future permanent fencing shall comply with the landscape requirements within RMC 4-4-040 and
RMC 4-4-070, unless otherwise approve by the Current Planning Project Manager. Compliance with
the subject landscape requirements shall be reviewed and approved by the Current Planning Project
Manager prior to issuance of a Special Administrative Fence Permit.
4. No barbed wire, razor wire, or similar shall be incorporated into the temporary fencing.
5. The fencing shall not restrict vehicle movement in the public ROW or result in the removal of any
ingress/egress into the four (4) parking lots.
