For the Environmental Review Committee, Alex Morganroth Senior Planner CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Land Use Files\2021\LUA21-000233 DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE: February 6, 2023 TO: Renton Environmental Review Committee FROM: Alex Morganroth, Senior Planner SUBJECT: LUA21-000233 Amazon SWA2 Revised DNS-M On June 13, 2022, the Environmental Review Committee issued a threshold Determination of Non-Significance – Mitigated (DNS-M) for the Amazon SWA2 project (attached). An appeal period concluded on June 27, 2021, with no appeals filed. The DNS-M included six (6) mitigation measures, including five (5) measures related to the traffic impacts generated by the project (identified as measures 1 through 5 in report). All five (5) measures include deadlines for the completion of various infrastructure projects intended to mitigate the anticipated traffic impacts. The applicant, Amazon, submitted a narrative (attached) dated January 31, 2023 describing the various challenges to meeting the original deadlines for three (3) specific mitigation measures, identified below. Specifically, the applicant contends that due to unforeseen construction challenges created by the recent unseasonably cold weather, supply chain issues from the COVID- 19 pandemic, and most significantly, the closure of the Lind Ave SW bridge over I -405, they will be unable to complete some of the projects by their required deadlines. Revised Mitigation Measures: 1) The applicant shall construct the following improvements at the intersection of Raymond Ave SW and SW 19th St: a. Widen the westbound approach of SW 19th St by constructing vertical curb and gutter to match alignment of the existing curb, providing a minimum of twenty feet (20’) of pavement; b. Construct ADA compliant curb ramps at the NE corner of Raymond Ave SW and SW 19th St intersection and associated companion ramps; c. Provide advanced warning signage on the westbound approach of SW 19th St and the southbound approach of Raymond Ave SW; d. Trim vegetation in the immediate vicinity of the intersection to improve sight distance. The final design of the improvements shall be reviewed and approved by the Development Engineering Project Manager prior to implementation. The improvements shall be fully constructed prior to issuance of a Final Certificate of Occupancy, or by January 31, 2023, whichever comes first.

While work has begun, the applicant contends that due to the uncertainty of inclement weather and the inability to install concrete, asphalt, paint and other construction materials in wet or cold weather , an extension is necessary to ensure work quality standards. Staff concurs with the justification provided and recommends approval of a revised mitigation measure reflecting the new deadline. 2) The applicant shall install a traffic signal at the intersection of Lind Ave SW and SW 19 th St. The traffic signal shall be designed in a manner that accommodates the future construction of an additional 11 - foot lane on Lind Ave SW. The final design of the traffic signal infrastructure shall be reviewed and approved by the Development Engineering Project Manager. The signalization of the intersection shall be implemented and operational prior to issuance of a Final Certificate of Occupancy, or by July 31, 2023, whichever comes first. Staff Comment: According to the applicant, supply chain and material acquisition constraints related to COVID-19 have created challenges in obtaining the necessary infrastructure related to intersection signalization. The applicant suggests the extension of the measure’s deadline until September 1, 2023. The applicant intends to begin construction at the earliest possible date following material acquisition. Staff concurs with the justification and recommends approval of the revised mitigation measure reflecting the new deadline. 3) The applicant shall construct a compact roundabout at the intersection of Raymond Ave SW and SW 16th St. The final design of the roundabout shall be reviewed and approved by the Development Engineering Project Manager. The compact roundabout shall be constructed prior to issuance of a Final Certificate of Occupancy, or by January 31, 2023, whichever comes first. Staff Comment: The applicant contends that due to the unforeseen closure of Lind Ave SW following a traffic incident, higher traffic volumes at the Raymond Ave SW and SW 16th St intersection have created challenges for the necessary road closure during construction of the roundabout. The applicant suggests an extension of the measure’s deadline until October 18th, 2023 in order to allow for additional time to coordinate and plan for potentially impactful road closures that would be required. Staff concurs with the justification and recommends approval of the revised mitigation measure reflecting the new deadline. In summary, staff concurs that the various issues identified by the applicant have created significant challenges to constructing the infrastructure improvements required by the deadlines set in the original DNS-M threshold determination issued on June 13, 2022. The alternative deadlines suggested by the applicant are reasonable and will still allow for the timely mitigation of the anticipated traffic impacts. Therefore, staff recommends that the Environmental Review Committee issue a Revised DNS-M that includes the mitigation measures 4, 5, and 6 as written in the original decision (attached), as well as mitigation measures 1, 2, and 3 of the original decision with the amended deadlines as included in the analysis above.
