RE: Summary of Application for Minor CUP Revision of LUA02-054 St. Anthony’s Church Master Plan
St Anthony’s Parish, located at 314 South 4th St Renton, WA 98056, has an existing Conditional Use Permit under city file number LUA02-054, encompassing a 20-year master plan for renovation
and expansion. While it is our hope to one day see this project to completion, the current financial climate has not made it possible. In the interim the Catholic Archdiocese of Seattle
has purchased three adjacent parcels in the CM zone, listed below.

The master plan is intended to accommodate existing parishioners, school students, and service to the community by renovating and expanding current facilities to meet current needs.
These additional properties and their existing buildings have been able to ease the current transitional phase. The St. Cecelia Music Room, serving the school and Parish was purchased
& renovated in 2008. The Law Office has been used for additional office space & meeting rooms since its purchase in 2010. The third parcel, Vacant office Building, its use has yet
to be determined. However, the proposed use shall be compatible with the general purpose, goals, objectives and standards of the Comprehensive Plan, the Zoning Ordinance, and any other
plan, program, map of ordinance of the City of Renton. The addition of these adjacent parcels would not change the proposed scope stated in the existing Conditional Use permit. By
unifying the street frontage on Morris Ave S. it would provide a cohesive footprint for the design and execution of said scope. The site plan revision submitted reflects the addition
of these three properties, along with the removal of the proposed Rectory site at 215 Whitworth Ave S (7841800090). While 215 Whitworth was part of the original submission, its removal
was contingent on the approval of the existing CUP and was sold in 2007. This revision, if approved, will correct the drawing record.
Sincerely,
Dana Rochex on behalf of St. Anthony Church
