CITY OF RENTON
ADDENDUM TO ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION OF
SIGNIFICANCE (DS) AND EIS
Pursuant to WAC 197-11-600 (4) (c) and WAC 197-11-625
Addendum to Boeing Renton Comprehensive Plan Amendment EIS as Addended
by the City of Renton —The Boeing Company
(LUA-02-141 ECF)
Determination of Non-Significance (DNS)
Date of Addendum: September 10, 2007
Date of Original Issuance of SEPA Threshold Determination: March 4, 2003
Proponent: The Boeing Company
Application File: LUA-02-141, CPA, R, ECF
Project Name: Boeing Linear Park Renovation
Proposal / Purpose of Addendum: The Boeing Company is proposing to renovate a
private linear park located along the west side of Logan Avenue North within the Boeing
Renton Plant property. This linear park, constructed during the mid-1970's, is presently
a combination of open lawn areas, ornamental shrub plantings, and an 8-foot wide
asphalt walking path. There are also areas for active and passive recreation
opportunities, including basketball, horseshoe and volleyball courts, and seating areas.
The recent realignment of Logan Avenue North by the City of Renton requires a
corresponding relocation of portions of the linear park, and renovation of the park's
landscaping, pedestrian walkways, and recreational facilities. The project site is
approximately 2,700 feet long, and varies in width. The park area is approximately 5.9
acres in size. The proposed project includes demolition of the existing asphalt path and
replacement with pervious asphalt paving, restoring and redesigning lawn areas, and
restoring and updating passive and active recreational areas. Approximately 4,000
cubic yards of material will be imported both from another on-site Boeing source.
Temporary erosion and sedimentation control will be installed and maintained for the
duration of the project. Construction is anticipated to begin in September 2007 and be.
completed at the end December 2007.
In 2003, the City conducted an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process that
reviewed the Boeing Company's "Move to the Lake" proposal. In that analysis, it was
determined that several manufacturing buildings would become surplus buildings as the
Boeing Company consolidated its properties throughout the Renton area. The original

proposal resulted in the issuance of a Determination of Significance (DS), which
triggered an EIS. The DS and subsequent EIS were based on consolidation of the
Boeing properties, and amending the City's Comprehensive Plan and zoning associated
with those properties. The proposed project requires a building (demolition) permit from
the City of Renton and an annual grading license. Issuance of these permits is reliant
upon successful completion of the SEPA Addenda process.
It has been determined that the environmental impacts of the new proposal are
adequately addressed under the analysis of significant impacts contained within the
previously adopted EIS. Based on WAC 197-11-600(4) c, the addendum process may
be used if analysis or information is added that does not substantially change the
analysis of significant impacts and alternatives in the existing environmental document.
Therefore, the SEPA addendum process has been utilized for the necessary
Environmental Review of the proposed development.
Location: Logan Avenue between NE 6th Street, north to Lake Washington Blvd N
Lead Agency: City of Renton, Planning/Building/Public Works Department
Review Process: Individual development proposals for the Boeing Company site will

the development.
