exceed an overall valuation is greater than $175,000, the project site(s) shall be required to meet
the City’s Complete Streets Standards.
a. Since the overall exterior remodel and construction valuation is estimated to be less than
$175,000, in accordance with RMC 4-6-060, no street frontage improvements or right of way
dedication are required. However, if during Land-Use review it is determined that the exterior
additions exceed an overall valuation of $175,000, the project may become subject to further
transportation review.
3. An accessible route of travel meeting American’s With Disabilities Act’s requirements (ADA) from
the public right of way to the building is required and will be reviewed in conjunction with the
building permit submittal. The existing onsite ADA parking and landings will also be reviewed.
4. Since the project is proposing a change in use that may result in additional traffic, a traffic study
meeting City of Renton traffic study guidelines is required at the land-use submittal. If the result
of the study is more than 20 new trips in the AM or PM peak hours, a traffic impact analysis will
be required.
5. The development is subject to transportation impact fees. Fees will be assessed at the time of a
complete building permit application. The 2023 transportation impact fee for net new pm peak
hour person vehicle trips is $8,031.94 per trip.
GENERAL COMMENTS
1. All existing and proposed utility lines (i.e., electrical, phone, and cable services, etc.) along

DATE: May 25, 2023
TO: Pre-Application File No. 23-000145
FROM: Andrew Van Gordon, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Change of Occupancy – 805 SW 10th St (Parcel number
2423049025)
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, 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 project area is located at 805 SW 10th St (Parcel number 2423049025). The
project proposal is to establish a used car dealership. Access would be maintained from SW 10th
St. No improvements to the site are proposed. City of Renton’s (COR) mapping system indicates
the site is within a High Seismic Hazard Area.
Current Use: The property is the site of a Washington State Emission Testing facility with
associated surface parking and stacking lanes. It is unclear if the facility is still operating in any
capacity.
Zoning/Land Use: The subject property is located within the Medium Industrial Zone (IM) zoning
classification in Auto Mall Area B. The purpose of the IM zone is to provide areas for medium-
intensity industrial activities involving manufacturing, processing, assembly, and warehousing.
Uses in this zone may require some outdoor storage and may create some external emissions of
noise, odor, glare, vibration, etc., but these are largely contained on site. Compatible uses that
directly serve the needs of other uses permitted within the district are also allowed zone wide.
A used car dealership would be classified as small vehicle sales. Small vehicle sales is defined as:
Motor vehicles including, but not limited to, motorcycles, passenger cars, light trucks, vans, and
similar size vehicles which have gross vehicle weights less than ten thousand (10,000) pounds.
Small vehicle sales is a permitted use within the IM zone.
Change of Occupancy

May 25, 2023
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-130A, Development Standards
for Industrial Zoning Designations effective at the time of complete application (noted as “IM
standards” herein).
Building Standards – The IM standards permit a height of 50 feet (50’). Heights may exceed the
zone’s maximum height with a Conditional Use Permit.
Revisions to the height of the existing building are not proposed. Compliance with requirements
would be determined at the time of building permit review.
Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the
property line. The required setbacks for the IM zone are: minimum front yard and secondary front
yard: 20 feet (20’) from Principle Arterial streets, 15 feet (15’) from all other streets, except 50
feet (50’) is required if a lot is adjacent to or abutting a lot zoned residential; minimum side yard
and rear yard: none, except 50 feet (50’) if lot is adjacent to or abutting a lot zoned residential. In
no case shall a structure over 42 inches (42”) in height intrude into the 20-foot (20’) clear vision
area defined in RMC 4-11-030.
Per COR Maps, the existing structure would meet setback standards. Compliance with
requirements would be determined at the time of building permit review.
Access/Parking: Access is proposed via the three (3) existing driveways from SW 10th St. A vehicle
sales use requires a minimum and maximum of 1.0 stalls per 5,000 square feet. The sales area is
not a parking lot and does not have to comply with dimensional requirements, landscaping or the
bulk storage section requirements for setbacks and screening. Any arrangement of motor vehicles
is allowed as long as:
• A minimum five-foot (5’) perimeter landscaping area is provided;
• They are not displayed in required landscape areas; and
• Adequate fire access is provided per Fire Department approval.
Driveway width shall not exceed an aggregate of 40 percent (40%) of the street frontage. There
shall be a minimum of 18 feet (18’) between driveway curb returns where there is more than one
(1) driveway on property under single ownership or control and used as one premises. The width
of any driveway shall not exceed 30 feet (30’). There shall be no more than one (1) driveway for
each 165 feet (165’) of street frontage serving any one property. For each 165 feet (165’) of
additional street frontage another driveway may be permitted. Maximum driveway slope shall
not exceed eight percent (8%). The Administrator may allow a driveway to exceed eight percent
(8%) slope but not more than fifteen percent (15%) slope, upon proper application in writing and
for good cause shown, which shall include, but not be limited to, the absence of any reasonable
alternative. To exceed fifteen percent (15%), a variance from the Administrator is required.
Bicycle Parking –The number of bicycle parking spaces shall be equal to 10 percent (10%) of the
number of required off-street vehicle parking spaces for all uses except attached dwellings.
A change in use triggers parking requirements. A site plan for the project was not provided, so
it is unclear where the vehicle sales area would be located. Per the King County Assessor, the
existing building is 4,196 square feet. A minimum and maximum of one (1) parking stall is
permitted. There are three (3) driveway access points on SW 10th St. The property has
approximately 540 lineal feet of frontage along SW 10 th St and SW Grady Way. The frontage
length allows for three (3) driveways, but it is unclear the distance between the driveways or

the width of the driveways. Compliance with requirements would be determined at the time of
civil construction permit review. Please review RMC 4-4-080, Parking, Loading and Driveway
Regulations for the full requirements.
Automall District: The project is subject to RMC 4-3-040, Automall District. The project is located
within Auto Mall Area B. The following requirements are applicable for dealerships within Auto
Mall Area B.

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.
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 civil construction
permit review.
Fences/Walls: Within industrial zones the maximum height of any fence, hedge, or retaining wall
within the front yard and secondary front yard shall not exceed 48 inches (48”) in height within
15 feet (15’) of the front yard or secondary front yard property line or within any part of the clear
vision area. Fences, hedges, or retaining walls shall not exceed 48 inches (48") in height within
fifteen feet (15') of a rear yard property line that abuts a public street. The maximum height of
any fence, hedge or retaining wall shall be eight feet (8'). Barb wire fences are permitted in all
industrial zones; barbed wire may only be used on top of fences at least six feet (6’) in height.

Refuse and Recyclables: All new developments for commercial uses shall provide on-site refuse
and recyclable deposit areas and collection points for collection in compliance with RMC 4-4-090,
Refuse and Recyclables Standards. These areas shall not be located within required setbacks or
landscaped areas and shall not be located in a manner that hauling trucks obstruct pedestrian or
vehicle traffic on-site or project into public right-of-way. The size of these areas shall be
dependent on the size and number of the proposed uses.
Change of Occupancy
Page 7 of 7
May 25, 2023
A refuse and recyclable collection area is not shown on the drawings. Full compliance will be
determined at the time of construction permit review and building permit review.
Critical Areas: According to COR Maps, the property is within a High Seismic Hazard Area.
Development within high seismic hazard areas require a geotechnical study completed by a
licensed professional.
A geotechnical report will be required addressing seismic issues. It is the applicant’s
responsibility to ascertain whether any critical areas or environmental concerns are present on
the subject property prior to development and/or construction.
Environmental Review: The proposal would require environmental review pursuant to the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). The project is a change of use in an existing building that exceeds
4,000 square feet, and therefore WAC 197-11-800(1) does apply. An Environmental Checklist
must be submitted with the proposal and the City’s Environmental Review Committee is required
to issue a Threshold Determination prior to any issuance for permits on the site.
An environmental checklist will be required at the time of civil construction permit and building
permit submittal.
Permit Requirements: The proposal would require a building permit and Environmental (SEPA)
Review. Building permit fees are based on the valuation of the project and work completed. The
average time frame for processing of an Environmental Review application is typically six (6) to
eight (8) weeks. The 2023 fee for an Environmental Review would total $1,890.00 ($1,800
Environmental Review + $90.00 Technology Fee (5%) = $1,890.00). Each modification request is
$290.00. A 5% technology fee added to the total cost of the reviews would also be assessed at the
time of land use application. All fees are subject to change. Detailed information regarding the
land use permit application submittal requirements can be found on the Master Site Plan Review
Submittal Requirements checklist. Other informational 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.
Fees: In addition to the applicable building and construction fees, impact fees would be required.
The fee in effect at the time of building permit issuance will apply. For informational purposes,
the 2023 impact fees are as follows:
• A Transportation Impact Fee assessed at $8.031.94 per net new PM Peak House Person
Vehicle Trip.
A handout listing Renton’s development-related fees is available on the City of Renton website
for your review.
Next Steps: When the formal land use application materials are complete, the applicant shall have
the application materials pre-screened prior to submitting the complete application package.
Please contact Andrew Van Gordon, Associate Planner at avangordon@rentonwa.gov or (425)
430-7286 for an appointment.
