Subject: Home Depot (LUA21-000452) - Transportation Issues
Hello Jill,
As we discussed earlier this week, in review of the Home Deport land use application we noticed some deficiencies in the application. The
following summarizes what items we will need to assess the Home Depot application and provide recommendations and request that the
land use application be placed on Hold until these items have been provided.
1. Transportation Impact Analysis: The existing building has been vacant for more than 3 years but less than 5 years, based on
City Ordinance 6043 Section IV and the land use application for the project that vested on December 22, 2021, the project can
receive 50% credit for the existing transportation vehicle trips. This results in an anticipated increase of over 300 PM Peak Hour
Vehicle Trips triggering a Transportation Impact Analysis. The applicant shall provide a Transportation Impact Analysis that
evaluates the intersections identified below and shall analyze an anticipated growth rate of 1.5% up through 2 years following
the anticipated opening and meet the Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines
(https://edocs.rentonwa.gov/Documents/DocView.aspx?id=9082709&dbid=0&repo=CityofRenton). The following are the
intersection to be evaluated:
• Talbot Road S/S Grady Way
• Williams Ave S/S Grady Way/Sam’s Club Driveway
• Benson Rd S/ Main Ave S/S Grady Way
• Shattuck Ave S/S Grading Way
• Lake Ave S/S Grady Way
• Rainier Ave S/SW Grady Way,
• S Renton Village Pl/Talbot Rd S/I-405 Off-Ramp
• Talbot Rd S/SR405 On-Ramp
• Houser Way S/Main Ave S
• S 4th St/Main Ave S
2. Talbot Road S Frontage Improvements: King County Metro has a formal application in review, with the City of Renton
(C21001128). KC Metro is shifting the existing east curb line on Talbot Rd S by roughly 8.7-13 feet. The KC Metro plans can be
found at: https://edocs.rentonwa.gov/Documents/DocView.aspx?id=9179678&dbid=0&repo=CityofRenton. The required
frontage improvements and dedication for the Home Depot project shall be measured from the new proposed curb location.
The project currently is not proposing to construct frontage improvements along Talbot Road S, however, there is no waiver
request submitted for the code required frontage improvements. Based on the proposal and King County Metro’s anticipated
Capital Improvement Project, staff supports the submission of a waiver request for the curb line relocation and roadway
expansion provided that the code required 8-foot landscape strip and 8-foot sidewalk be constructed behind the curb line
proposed as part of the King County Metro project and dedication of right be provided 2-feet behind the back of the proposed
sidewalk. Applicant shall submit a waiver request for the expansion of the roadway paved and revise land use application to
show the landscape strip and sidewalk improvements along Talbot per the above.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Take Care,
