PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Amazon, is requesting Site Plan Review, Environmental (SEPA) Review, and
a Shoreline Exemption for minor site work and tenant improvements in a 126,600 sq. ft. existing industrial building at
1905 Raymond Ave SW (APN 2423049115). The building was previously occupied by DHL Global Forwarding, a shipping
service. The applicant intends to use the building for its “Amazon Flex” deli very service, in which contract employees
pick up packages from the site in their personal vehicles and distribute (i.e. deliver) the packages to customers in the
Renton area. The applicant has proposed to retain the existing office space for use by suppor t staff, while updating the
warehouse/distribution space to better meet the needs of the Flex service. The building is located on the north half of a
6.8 acre site near the corner of SW 19th St and Raymond Ave SW. The subject site is located in the Industr ial, Light (IL)
zone and Employment Area Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation. According to the applicant, all work would be
interior except for parking lot restriping and minor concrete work that would add a total of 26 new parking stalls as well
as new ADA ramps and crosswalks. No trees or vegetation are proposed for removal as part of the project. According to
COR Maps, multiple critical areas are present on the site including a high seismic hazard, a special flood hazard area
(FEMA zone AE), and an unclassified wetlands. In addition, the eastern portion of the site is located within Reach C of
the Black River/Springbrook Creek Regulated Shoreline Area and is designated Shoreline High Intensity. According to the
applicant, the project would result in a net impervious surface increase of approximately 508 sq. ft.
