See also rebrand.ly/k70ykgi PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting administrative site plan review, environmental (SEPA) review, and a street modification to construct a 9,418 square foot one-story office and shop building at 1404 SW Grady Way (APN 2423049061). The subject property is approximately 27,175 square feet (0.62 acres) and is located within the Medium Industrial (IM) zoning designation. The site is mostly impervious surfaces and the applicant is proposing to retain the existing 1,520 square foot building during construction of the new building for material storage. After construction, the material would be relocated to the new building and the existing building would be demolished. In addition to the new building, the site work would include a vehicle parking, pedestrian walkway, landscaping, and other associated utility improvements. Once the site work has been completed, approximately 85% of the property would be covered with impervious surfaces. Access to the property is from SW Grady Way. The site is relatively flat. Grading would include 10 cubic yards of cut and 1,210 cubic yards of fill from a local gravel pit. The applicant is proposing a street modification to retain the existing curb and gutter, sidewalk, and landscaping along the project frontage. One (1) significant tree would be removed and replaced. The City’s mapping system has identified the subject property is within a high seismic hazard area and the northeast corner of the parcel in within the 100-year special flood hazard area (FEMA Zone – AE). The applicant submitted a geotechnical report, technical information report, traffic letter, and an arborist report. Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 p.m. on October 23, 2023. Due to the ongoing state of emergency enacted by Governor’s Proclamation 20-28.14 (and as amended), the City Clerk’s Office is working remotely. For that reason, appeals must be submitted electronically to the City Clerk at cityclerk@rentonwa.gov or delivered to City Hall 1st floor Lobby Hub Monday through Friday. The appeal fee, normally due at the time an appeal is submitted, will be collected at a future date if your appeal is submitted electronically. Appeals to the Hearing Examiner are governed by RMC 4-8-110 and additional information regarding the appeal process may be obtained from the City Clerk’s Office, cityclerk@rentonwa.gov. PUBLIC HEARING: If the Environmental Determination is appealed, a public hearing will be set and all parties notified.
