M E M O R A N D U M
DATE: March 23, 2023
TO: Pre-Application File No. 23-000050
FROM: Andrew Van Gordon, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Dan Le Short Plat – 16937 – 125th Pl SE (Parcel number
1432701550)
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
https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Renton/.
Project Proposal: The applicant proposes to subdivide 16937 – 125th Pl SE (APN 1432701550) into
two (2) residential lots for the benefit of detached dwellings. The property has street frontage
along 125th Pl SE and is located within the Residential – 6 (R-6) zone. The site area is approximately
13,463 square feet (0.30 acre). Access would be from 125th Pl SE with each individual lot having
its own driveway.
Current Use: The project area is currently developed with a detached dwelling. The existing
dwelling is proposed to be retained on Lot 1. There are no critical areas located on the property
per COR Maps.
Zoning/Land Use: The subject property is located within the Residential-6 (R-6) zoning
classification. The Residential Medium Density Land Use designation is intended to implement the
R-6 zone. The R-6 zone is established for single family dwellings. Development in the R-6 zone is
intended to be single family residential at moderate density.
Detached dwellings are permitted within the R-6 zone.
Density: The area of public rights-of-way, legally recorded private access easements and critical
areas (i.e., very high landslide hazard areas, protected slopes (except evaluate on a case-by-case
basis those protected slopes created by previous development, wetlands, Class 1 to 4 streams
and lakes or floodways) 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.
Dan Le Short Plat
Page 2 of 7
March 23, 2023
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. The R-6 zone has a minimum density of three (3) dwelling units per acre
with a maximum of six (6) dwelling units per acre. Based on the approximate gross land area of
0.3091 acre, the two (2) lot proposal arrives at a gross density of approximately 6.47 du/ac (2 lots
/ 0.3091 gross acres = 6.47 du/ac).
The gross density would result in 6.47 du/ac; however, the applicant would be required to
demonstrate compliance with the net density requirements of the zone at the time of formal
application. A density worksheet deducting street improvements identified in the preapplication
meeting and this memo would be required with the land use application.
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, Development Standards
for Residential Zoning Designations effective at the time of complete application (noted as “R-6
standards” herein).
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size permitted in the R-6 zone is 7,000
square feet for parcels being subdivided. For short plats of parcels smaller than one (1) acre, one
(1) 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, one parcel may be allowed to be 6,250
square feet in size in the R-6 zone Minimum lot width is 60 feet (60’); minimum lot depth is 90
feet (90’). In order to ensure compliance with Tier 1 requirements for Tree Preservation Priority,
pursuant to RMC 4-4-130H2a, lot size and lot dimensions of the zone may be decreased by a
maximum of 10 percent (10%), provided the applicant can demonstrate to the Administrator’s
satisfaction that the reduction is necessary to ensure the preservation of all significant trees, as
defined in RMC 4-11-200, required for retention within dedicated tract(s), pursuant to RMC 4-4-
130H1a, Minimum Tree Retention Requirements.
It does not appear that Lot 2 is meeting the minimum depth requirement for the R-6 zone. Lot
depth is measured from the midpoint of the front lot line to the midpoint of the rear lot line. As
proposed Lot 2 would have a depth of approximately 65 feet (65’). Please see the attached site
plan with Planning’s measurements. Submitted plans would need to show compliance with the
required lot size and dimensional standard with the land use application.
Building Standards – The R-6 standards allow a maximum building coverage of 40 percent (40%)
of the lot area. The maximum impervious coverage in the R-6 zone is 55 percent (55%). The
maximum wall plate height is restricted to 24 feet (24’), and the buildings shall be not more than
two (2) 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 vertical feet (4’) 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 horizontal feet (1.5’) from each façade for
each one vertical foot (1’) above the maximum wall plate height. The maximum wall plate height
for detached accessory structures is 12 feet (12’) and the total floor area must be less than that
of the primary structure. Accessory structures are also included in building lot coverage
calculations.
Dan Le Short Plat
Page 3 of 7
March 23, 2023
New development would need to comply with the maximum building coverage, impervious
surface requirements, and building height regulations of the zone at the time of building permit
review. Existing development proposed for retention would also be required to comply with
building and coverage limitations and would be reviewed for compliance at the time of land use
application.
Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the
property line. The required setbacks for the R-6 zone are: Front yard: 25 feet (25’) Rear yard: 25
feet (25’); Side yards: combined 15 feet (15’) with not less than 5 feet (5’) on either side; and
secondary front yards: 25 feet (25’). Within subdivisions, the minimum front yard and secondary
front yard setback may be reduced to no less than twenty feet (20') provided the applicant can
demonstrate to the Administrator’s satisfaction that the setback reduction is necessary to
preserve and maintain a landmark tree within a tree protection tract, as each term is defined in
RMC 4-11-200, Definitions T. An arborist report, pursuant to RMC 4-8-120D1, shall be prepared
and provided to the City for review and concurrence, demonstrating that the setback reduction
and project proposal serve to preserve the critical root zone of the tree within a tree protection
tract.
Compliance with required setbacks for new development would be verified at the time of
building permit application. Existing development proposed for retention would be reviewed for
compliance at the time of land use application.
Residential Design and Open Space Standards
Future single-family building permits would be subject to the RMC 4-2-115, Residential Design
and Open Space Standards. Requirements related to garages, entries, modulation,
windows/doors, scale, bulk, and character, roof forms, eaves, architectural detailing, and
materials/color should be reviewed in their entity prior to submitting permit applications.
Compliance with lot configuration requirements would be verified at the time of land use
application. Compliance with building design requirements would be verified at the time of
building permit review.
Access/Parking: Access to all lots is proposed from 125th Pl SE via individual driveways. The
existing residence would maintain its existing access. 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.
Compliance with access requirements would be verified at the time of land use application.
Compliance with driveway requirements would be verified at the time of building permit review.
Landscaping: With the exception of critical areas, all portions of the development area not
covered by structures, required parking, access, circulation or service areas, must be landscaped
with native, drought-resistant vegetative cover. The minimum on-site landscape width required
along street frontages is 10 feet and shall contain trees, shrubs, and landscaping. Street trees in
the ROW planter will also be required. Landscaping may include hardscape such as decorative
Dan Le Short Plat
Page 4 of 7
March 23, 2023
paving, rock outcroppings, fountains, plant containers, etc. Minimum planting strip widths
between the curb and sidewalk are established according to the street development standards of
RMC 4-6-060, Street Standards. Street trees and, at a minimum, groundcover are to be located in
this area when present. Street trees shall be planted in the center of the planting strip between
the curb and the sidewalk at the following intervals; provided, that, where right-of-way is
constrained, irregular intervals and slight increases or decreases may be permitted or required.
Additionally, trees shall be planted in locations that meet required spacing distances from
facilities located in the right-of-way including, but not limited to, underground utilities,
streetlights, utility poles, traffic signs, fire hydrants, and driveways; such spacing standards are
identified in the City’s Approved Tree List. Generally, the following spacing is required: i. Small-
sized maturing trees: thirty feet (30') on center; ii. Medium-sized maturing trees: forty feet (40')
on center; and iii. Large-sized maturing trees: fifty feet (50') on center.
A conceptual landscape plan shall be provided with the land use application as prepared by a
licensed Landscape Architect, a certified nurseryman or other certified professional. Please be
aware that frontage improvements will be required.
Storm drainage facilities are required to comply with the minimum 15-foot perimeter
landscaping strip on the outside of the fence unless otherwise determined through the site plan
review or subdivision review process. Please refer to landscape regulations RMC 4-4-070 for
further general and specific landscape requirements.
Significant Tree Retention: A review of COR Maps appears to show 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.
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.
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 and grading plan with top of wall and
bottom of wall elevations. A fence and/or wall detail should also be included on the plan. A
retaining wall that is 4 feet or taller, as measured by the vertical distance from the bottom of the
Dan Le Short Plat
Page 6 of 7
March 23, 2023
footing to the finish grade at the top of the wall requires a building permit. The maximum height
of any fence or retaining wall is 72-inches subject to further height limitations in setbacks and
clear vision areas noted in RMC 4-4-040D. 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.
Critical Areas: According to COR Maps, there are no critical areas or their buffers on the property
or within an applicable distance. It is the applicant’s responsibility to determine if designated
critical areas or their buffers are located on the property.
Environmental Review: Short Plats are generally exempt from State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA) review. However, the project may be subject to Environmental Review, in accordance with
RMC 4-9-070 H.3., if it is determined that designated critical areas or their buffers are located on
the property.
Permit Requirements: The proposal would require administrative short plat approval. The
application would be reviewed within an estimated time frame of six to eight weeks. The 2023
fees would total $6,384.00 ($6,080.00 Preliminary Short Plat + $304.00 Technology Fee (5%) =
$6,080.00). Each modification request is $290.00. A 5% technology fee added to the total cost of
the reviews would also be assessed at the time of land use application. All fees are subject to
change. Detailed information regarding the land use permit application submittal requirements
can be found on the Short Plat Submittal Requirements checklist. Other informational applications
and handouts can be found on the City’s Digital Records Library. The City requires electronic plan
submittal for all applications. Please refer to the City’s Electronic File Standards. A Final Short
Plat application, and its associated fee, will be required following construction of the subdivision’s
infrastructure.
Public Information Sign: Public Information Signs are required for all Type II Land Use Permits as
classified by RMC 4-8-080, Permit Classification. Public Information Signs are intended to inform
the public of potential land development, specific permits/actions being considered by the City,
and to facilitate timely and effective public participation in the review process. The applicant must
follow the specifications provided in the public information sign handout. The applicant is solely
responsible for the construction, installation, maintenance, removal, and any costs associated
with the sign.
