FROM:Clark H. Close Principal Planner
SUBJECT:Renton Technical College Health Sciences Center – 3001 NE 4th St
Renton, WA 98056
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, Development Services Director, Development
Engineering 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, Renton Technical College (RTC), is proposing to construct a three-
story Health Sciences Center building at 3001 NE 4th St, Renton, WA 98056 (APN 1623059130).
The proposed 56,525 square foot Health Sciences Center would be used for 11 of RTC’s Allied
Health programs. The 4.73 acre parcel is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA) and is located within the
Urban Design Overlay District ‘D’. The proposed building lot coverage would be approximately
18,850 square feet or approximately 9.15% of the lot. Improvements would include the
replacement of 96 existing surface parking stalls with 120 new surface parking stalls in a new
parking lot layout. Access to the new parking lot would be from the east side of the parcel via two
(2) new driveways along Jefferson Ave NE. The parking lot travel lanes are proposed to also serve
as fire lane access. Frontage improvements would be made along NE 3rd St and NE 4th St to
comply with current street standards. Several existing driveways or curb cuts along Jefferson
Avenue NE are proposed to be removed and replaced to align with the new surface parking lot.
According to the applicant, one of the project goals is to improve the pedestrian connection
between the college’s main campus and the proposed building site. Two (2) new fire hydrants,
along with a water main extension and side sewer connection, are anticipated.
Current Use: The site contains a former a medical office building with 96 surface parking stalls.
The existing 8,631 square foot structure was built in 1967 is currently vacant.
1.Zoning /Land Use Designation, and Overlays: The property is located within the Commercial
& Mixed Use (CMU) land use designation and the Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning
classification. The property is also located within Urban Design District ‘D’, and therefore
Renton Technical College Health Sciences Center

CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre-
Applications\2023\PRE23-000082\Working Files
subject to additional design elements. Commercial & Mixed Use designations are place areas
with established commercial and office areas near principle arterials. The intention of this
designation is to transform strip commercial development into business districts through the
intensification of uses and with cohesive site planning, landscaping, signage, circulation,
parking, and the provision of public amenity features. The CA Zone provides for a wide variety
of retail sales, services, and other commercial activities along high-volume traffic corridors.
Trade or vocational schools would require a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit in the
CA zone.
2.Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-120A, “Development
Standards for Commercial Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application
(noted as “CA standards” herein).
Density – Not applicable. No dwelling units are proposed as part of the Health Sciences
Center higher education building.
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size in the CA zone is 5,000 square
feet. There are no minimum requirements for lot width or depth within the CA zone at this
location. No changes are proposed to the existing commercial arterial lot, other than any
required right-of-way dedications.
Setbacks – Setbacks are the distance between the building and the property line or any private
access easement or tract. For lots containing private access easements, setbacks are the
minimum required distance between the building footprint and the easement. Setback
requirements in the CA zone are as follows:
Setbacks
Minimum Front Yard 15 ft.
Maximum Front Yard 20 ft.
Minimum Secondary Front Yard 15 ft.
Maximum Secondary Front Yard 20 ft.
Minimum Rear Yard None, except 15 ft. if lot abuts a lot zoned residential.
Minimum Side Yard None, except 15 ft. if lot abuts or is adjacent to a lot
zoned residential.
Clear Vision Area In no case shall a structure over 42 in. in height
intrude into the 20 ft. clear vision area defined in
RMC 4-11-030.
The project site is located adjacent to similarly zoned CA properties, Residential-10 (R-10)
zoned properties, and the site abuts Light Industrial (IL) zoned properties. The project would
be subject to a minimum 15-foot and a maximum 20-foot front yard and secondary front yard
setback along NE 3rd St and Jefferson Ave SE. Jefferson Ave NE is a 60’ wide private access
and utility easement that goes through the property near the northern portion of the lot and
is also located to the east of the property within King County Roads property (APN
1434000010). Based on the submitted architectural site plan, the building appears to
maintain an approximately 15-foot setback from NE 3rd St (west property line), an
approximate 5-foot (5’) setback from Jefferson Ave NE (to the north of the proposed building),
and an approximate 21-foot setback from Jefferson Ave NE (to the east of the proposed

building). The minimum setback may be modified through the site plan review process, see
RMC 4-2-120C.16 for review criteria. It is the applicant’s responsibility to demonstrate
compliance with building setbacks at the time of formal application.
Building Height and Impervious Surface Coverage – The CA zone allows a maximum building
height of 50 feet, except 70 feet for vertically mixed use buildings (commercial and
residential). Heights may exceed the zone’s maximum building height with a Conditional Use
Permit. The proposed three-story building is proposed to be approximately 50 feet in height.
The maximum building coverage of 65 percent, or 75 percent if parking is provided within a
building or within an on-site parking garage. The parking is proposed to be surface parking
only. The proposed building lot coverage is expected to be approximately 18,850 square feet
or approximately 9.15% of the lot. The building height and coverage requirements would be
verified at the time of formal application.
3.Refuse and Recycling Areas: Refuse and recycling areas must meet the requirements of RMC
4-4-090, “Refuse and Recyclables Standards.” In office, educational and institutional
developments, a minimum of two (2) square feet per every one thousand (1,000) square feet
of building gross floor area shall be provided for recyclables deposit areas and a minimum of
four (4) square feet per one thousand (1,000) square feet of building gross floor area shall be
provided for the refuse deposit areas. Based on a building area of 56,525 square feet, a
collection area of approximately 339 square feet would be required for a refuse and recycling
enclosure. The site plan identified a service access drive and screened refuse and recycling
enclosure area along the east side of the proposed building. In addition to the refuse and
recyclables standards, the Urban Design Regulations would require additional service
element location and design standards to reduce the potential negative impacts of service
elements. Compliance with the refuse and recycling standards (general and Urban Design)
would be reviewed with the land use application.
4.Landscaping: Changes in the use of a property are required to comply with the City’s
landscaping regulations. The development standards require that all pervious areas within
the property boundaries be landscaped. Therefore, all areas of the site not covered by
structures, required parking, access, circulation or patios, must be landscaped with native,
drought-resistant vegetative cover. All parking lots shall have perimeter landscaping. Ten feet
(10') of onsite landscaping is required along all public street frontages, with the exception of
areas for required walkways and driveways. Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-
070) for further general and specific landscape requirements. A conceptual landscape plan
and landscape analysis meeting the requirements in RMC 4-8-120D.12, shall be submitted
at the time of application for land use application.
A storm drainage facility would require a minimum fifteen foot (15’) perimeter landscape strip
on the outside of the storm drainage facility fence. Planting shall be consistent with the
Surface Water Design Manual and trees are prohibited on any berm serving a drainage-
related function. Trees and shrubs are also prohibited within the fenced area and within ten
feet (10’) of any manmade drainage structure (e.g., catch basins, ditched, pipes, vaults, etc.).
Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) for further general and specific
landscape requirements. A conceptual landscape plan must be provided with the formal
land use application as prepared by a registered Landscape Architect, a certified
nurseryman or other certified professional.

5.Significant Tree Retention: A review of COR Maps shows 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, properties subject to
an active land development permit shall comply with minimum tree credit retention
requirements of a minimum of 30 credits per net acre. Tree credits encourage retention of
existing significant trees with larger trees being worth more tree credits.

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.

Applications\2023\PRE23-000082\Working Files
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.
6.Fences/Retaining Walls: The provisions and conditions of RMC 4-4-040, “Fences, Hedges, and
Retaining Walls,” regulate the material and height of fences, hedges, and retaining walls,
particularly in front yards and in yards abutting public rights-of-way, in order to promote
public safety and to maintain or create aesthetically pleasing neighborhoods. The regulations
are also intended to provide and maintain adequate sight distances at intersections,
encourage safe ingress and egress from individual properties, encourage the feeling of
spaciousness along neighborhood streets, promote crime prevention through environmental
design, and reduce conflicting interests between abutting property owners. A 6 1/2-foot-tall
chain link fence with barb wires is located around the south parking lot and along the south
property line. The south surface parking lot and the nearby chain link fence are proposed to
be demolished. No new fences or retaining walls were shown on the submitted materials.
7.Parking: Parking for vehicles, loading areas, and driveways shall be provided in accordance
with the provisions of the current parking regulations of RMC 4-4-080, “Parking, Loading, and
Driveway Regulations.” The applicant is proposing 120 new surface parking stalls for the
56,525 square foot building. The applicant would be required, at the time of land use
application, to provide a parking study to ensure adequate parking is made available. A
parking analysis would include dimensions of stalls and drive aisles. Colleges require a
minimum and maximum of 1.0 per employee plus 1.0 for every 3 student rooming units, plus
0.5 space for every full-time student not residing on campus. In addition, if buses for
transportation of students are kept at the school, 1.0 off-street parking space shall be
provided for each bus of a size sufficient to park each bus.
A twenty five percent (25%) reduction or increase from the minimum or maximum number
of parking spaces may be granted for nonresidential uses through site plan review if the
applicant can justify the modification to the satisfaction of the Administrator. In order for the
reduction or increase to occur the Administrator must find that satisfactory evidence has been
provided by the applicant. Modifications beyond twenty five percent (25%) may be granted
per the criteria and process of RMC 4-9-250D.2.
Parking Space Dimensions – The parking regulations specify standard stall dimensions of 9
feet x 20 feet, compact dimensions of 8½ feet x 16 feet, and parallel stall dimensions of 9 feet
x 23 feet. ADA accessible stalls must be a minimum of 8 feet in width by 20 feet in length, with
an adjacent access aisle of 8 feet in width for van accessible spaces. Up to 40 percent of stalls
may be compact spaces designated for employee parking, and up to 30 percent of stalls may

CityofRenton\Department Folders\Community and Economic Development (CED)\Current Planning\Pre-
Applications\2023\PRE23-000082\Working Files
be compact spaces if designated for all users. The appropriate amount of ADA accessible stalls
is based on the total number of spaces provided.
Surface parking lots with more than fourteen (14) stalls shall be landscaped with plantings
and trees. Perimeter landscaping may not substitute for interior landscaping. Minimum
landscape area shall be provided based on the total number of parking stalls: 15-50 stalls, 15
sf/parking space; 51-99 stalls, 25 sf/parking space; or 100 or more 35 sf/parking space.
All non-residential development that exceeds 4,000 gross square feet in size would also be
required to comply with the bicycle parking requirements of RMC 4-4-080F.11. The number
of bicycle parking spaces required would be based on 10% of the required number of off-
street vehicle parking stalls. Each bicycle parking space shall be at least two feet (2') by six
feet (6'), with no less than an overhead clearance of seven feet (7'). Bicycle parking shall be
conveniently located with respect to the street right-of-way and must be within fifty feet (50')
of at least one main building entrance, as measured along the most direct pedestrian access
route. Please review RMC 4-4-080F.11.b-c for further general and specific bicycle parking
standards. Compliance with all parking regulations would be verified at land use review.
8.Loading Space Standards: Buildings which utilize ground level service or loading doors shall
provide a minimum of forty five feet (45') of clear maneuvering area in front of each door.
9.Lighting: With additions to or replacement of light fixtures, parking lot or display lot light
fixtures shall be non-glare and mounted no more than twenty five feet (25') above the ground
to minimize the impact onto adjacent and abutting properties. See RMC 4-4-075 for additional
standards.
10.Access/Driveways: Driveway widths are limited by the driveway standards, in RMC 4-4-080I.
Access would be subject to sight visibility requirements and minimum spacing from the
established intersections. In addition, there shall be no more than one driveway for each
one hundred sixty five feet (165') of street frontage serving any one property or among
properties under unified ownership or control. Compliance with all access and driveways
regulations would be verified at land use review.
11.Pedestrian Access: A pedestrian connection shall be provided from all public entrances to the
street, in order to provide direct, clear and separate pedestrian walks from sidewalks to
building entries and internally from buildings to abutting properties. Compliance with
pedestrian pathways and connections would be verified at land use review.
12.Urban Design Regulations: Compliance with Urban Design Regulations, District ‘D’, is
required. The land use application shall provide a written narrative to identify how the
project meets each applicable urban design regulation. Please refer the standards in their
entirety at RMC 4-3-100.
13.Critical Areas: According to City of Renton (COR) Maps, there appears to be no wetland or
streams on the project site. The site is located within the Aquifer Protection Zone 2. The
overall purpose of the aquifer protection regulations is to protect aquifers used as potable
water supply sources by the City from contamination by hazardous materials. A fill material
source statement is required for projects located in Zone 2 of the Aquifer Protection Area if
more than one hundred (100) cubic yards of imported fill will be used; the documentation
shall be certified by a professional engineer or geologist licensed in the State of Washington.
The fill material source statement shall be reviewed and accepted by the Department prior to

Applications\2023\PRE23-000082\Working Files
stockpiling or grading imported fill at the project site. The fill material source statement, as
defined in RMC 4-8-120D.19, shall be required for each source location from which imported
fill will be obtained per RMC 4-4-060N.4.f. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ascertain if
any critical areas or environmental concerns are present on the site during site development
or building construction.
14.Environmental Review: The proposal will exceed several thresholds and as a result the project
would require Environmental ‘SEPA’ Review. An environmental determination will be made
by the Renton Environmental Review Committee.
15.Site Plan Approval: Per RMC 4-9-200, site plan review is required for any development in the
CA zone. Hearing Examiner Site Plan Review is required for large scale projects with twenty-
five thousand (25,000) square feet of gross floor area (nonresidential) in the CA zone outside
the Employment Area (EA) land use designation. The purpose of the site plan review process
is to analyze the detailed arrangement of project elements to mitigate negative impacts
where necessary to ensure project compatibility with the physical characteristics of a site and
with the surrounding area. Site plan review ensures quality development consistent with City
goals and policies. Site plan review analyzes elements including, but not limited to, site layout,
building orientation and design, pedestrian and vehicular environment, landscaping, natural
features of the site, screening and buffering, parking and loading facilities, and illumination
to ensure compatibility with potential future development. Decisional criteria for site plan
approval are itemized in RMC 4-9-200E.3. It is the applicant’s responsibility to identify how
the proposal meets the decisional criteria by providing a written narrative with the
application.
16.Permit Requirements: The proposed project would require Hearing Examiner Conditional Use
Permit, Hearing Examiner Site Plan Review, and Environmental ‘SEPA’ Review. All land use
permits would be processed within an estimated time frame of 12 weeks. The 2023
application fees would be as follows: Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit ($3,710),
Hearing Examiner Site Plan Review ($4,270), and Environmental (SEPA) Review ($1,800). Any
modification requests to code standards are $290.00 per modification. There is an additional
5% technology surcharge fee at the time of land use application. All fees are subject to change
prior to submittal.
Detailed information regarding the land use application submittal can be found on the Site
Plat Review submittal checklist or other applicable 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.
In addition to the required land use permits, separate construction and building permits
would be required.
17.Public Information Sign: Public Information Signs are required for all Type II and Type III Land
Use Permits as classified by RMC 4-8-080. 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.

Tree Retention Notes
a. Quantity of existing trees on site (per surveyor observations) = 35
b. Location of areas proposed to be cleared: see adjacent plan
c. Significant Tree Retention Plan:
• Definition of, "Significant Tree," per RMC 4-11-200: A tree with
a caliper of at least six inches (6"), except alder or cottonwood
trees, which qualify as significant trees with a caliper of eight
inches (8") or greater. Trees certified as high-risk shall not be
considered significant.
• Per RMC 4-4-130-H-1-a, 30% of significant trees on site shall
be retained. There are 35 trees on the existing site. All of the
existing trees have a caliper of at least 6", meaning unless
they are alder or cottonwood, they are all significant trees. If
the minimum threshold of 30% significant retention is met, 11
existing trees will be retained. Early development plans have
identified retention of existing trees as a high priority for
screening views, providing shade, and creating a sense of
place. Preliminary plans show retention of more than 30% of
existing significant trees.
Existing Building
The existing building on site is 1-story, 8,630 gross square feet
(GSF).
• Existing Parking Stalls = 96
Existing Parking
There are (2) existing parking areas on site. In total, there are 96
existing parking stalls.

Project Information
1. Site area = 206,085 sq.ft.
2. Proposed building area (gross square feet):
• Level 1 = 19,000 sq.ft.
• Level 2 = 18,000 sq.ft.
• Level 3 = 18,000 sq.ft.
• Roof (mech penthouse) = 500 sq.ft.
• Total building area = 55,500 sq.ft.
3. Total building footprint = 19,000 sq.ft.
4. Lot coverage (RMC 4-2-120A):
• Lot Coverage = (19,000) / (206,085) = 9.21%
5. Landscaping area:
• Proposed interior landscaping = TBD
• Wildlife Habitat = None designated
• Total New/Improved Landscaping = Undeveloped site areas
will be landscaped
6. Building height (RMC 4-2-120A):
• Allowable = 50'-0" (without Conditional Use Permit)
• Proposed = ±60'-0" (~45'-0" Building + ~15' Mech Penthouse)
7. Required building setbacks (RMC 4-2-120A):
• Minimum front yard = 15'-0"
• Maximum front yard = 20'-0"
• Minimum rear yard = None, except 15'-0" if abutting/adjacent
to a lot zoned residential
• Minimum side yard = None, except 15'-0" if abutting/adjacent
to a lot zoned residential
8. Proposed building setbacks:
• Minimum front yard = 10'-0"
• Maximum front yard = None
• Minimum rear yard = None
• Minimum side yard = 0' / 15'-0" (partial adjacency to R-10 lot)
9. Parking Analysis (RMC 4-4-080):
• Quantity of parking spaces: RTC Campus has 1,065 existing
parking spaces as of 2016 Master Plan. Quantity shown below
is in addition to existing parking.
• Building Use = College / University: 1.0 space per employee
+ 0.5 space per non-resident student.
• Employees = 20
• Required spaces = 20
• Proposed spaces = 20
• Non-resident students = 276
• Required spaces = 138
• Proposed spaces = 102
• Stall size / angle:
• Standard stall = 20'-0" long x 9'-0" wide
• Compact stall = 16'-0" long x 8'-6" wide
• Stall angle = 90°
• ADA (handicap), compact, employee & guest/student stalls:
• Proposed ADA stalls = (6). Handicap stalls will be located
closest to a main building entrance.
• Proposed compact stalls = (35). Per F-8-c, compact stalls
shall account for no more than 40% of stalls. For all other
uses, no more than 30% of stalls.
• Employee & guest/student stalls, see above.
• Curb cuts:
• No curb cuts are proposed. All driveway approaches are
located on Jefferson Ave NE (private access easement). (2)
24'-0" curb cuts for parking access, (1) 20'-0" curb cut for
disposal and delivery access.
• Traffic Flow:
• Parking: Vehicles will move two-ways through the parking
lot.
• Loading: Passenger loading/drop-off will occur in the
parking lot at a curb bulb adjacent to the building entrance.
Delivery and loading of materials will not require a loading
dock. Delivery vehicles will use the service driveway.
• Maneuvering: the parking lot is designed in accordance with
F-9-b for 90° parking stalls and aisles.
• Location of wheel stops:
• Where required, wheel stops will be located 2'-0" from the
end of the stall in accordance with G-4.
• Loading space:
• See "Loading" above under "Traffic Flow"
• Stacking space: Not applicable.
• Bicycle Racks
• Per F-11-b-ii, bicycle parking spaces shall be minimum 2' x
6'. Dimensions of proposed bicycle parking is a total of 32' x
6', equivalent to (16) bicycle parking spaces.
• Interior parking lot landscaping area:
• See item 5 above.
