Project Narrative: A clear and concise description and summary of the proposed project, including
the following:
a. Project name, size, and location of site;
Quendall Lakefront, 1,324,440 land square feet located at 4551 Lake Washington Blvd. N.
immediately west of I-405, south of the Seahawks’ VMAC facility and north or Barbee Mill.
b. Zoning designation of the site and adjacent properties;
Project zoning is COR. Property to the east is COR. Property to the north is COR (Seahawks’ VMAC).
Property to the west is Lake Washington and not applicable. Property to the south is R-10 (Barbee
Mill).
c. Current use of the site and any existing improvements;
The site is currently vacant.
d. Special site features (i.e., wetlands, water bodies, steep slopes);
The site includes wetlands that are discussed in the underlying SEPA documents for Quendall
Terminals on file at the City of Renton. This amended binding site plan does not disturb any
wetlands. Further, the Quendall site has received a Superfund designation from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and will undergo cleanup/remediation prior to
redevelopment. As such, any impact to wetlands will be remedied as part of the EPA
cleanup/remediation process. Additional information is available in the underlying SEPA
documents on file at the City of Renton or at www.epa.gov/superfund/quendall-terminals. Finally,
this amended binding site plan does not propose construction and, hence, will not impact any
wetlands.
e. Statement addressing soil type and drainage conditions;
Information regarding soil type and drainage conditions is included in the SEPA work including the
Draft EIS, Final EIS and EIS Addendum on file with the City of Renton for the Quendall Terminals
project. Further, this amended binding site plan does not propose construction and, hence, will not
impact any wetlands.
f. Proposed use of the property and scope of the proposed development (i.e., height, square
footage, lot coverage, parking, access, etc.);
This amended binding site plan does not propose any construction or development. This
amendment is submitted simply to facilitate environmental clean-up under the direction of EPA
and future development which would be subject to future permits. The southern approximately
one-half of the site will be remediated first with completion expected in 2026. Remediation on the
northern approximately one-half of the site is expected to be completed in 2028.
g. Proposed off-site improvements (i.e., installation of sidewalks, fire hydrants, sewer main, etc.);
This amended binding site plan does not propose any construction or development or any off-site
improvements.
h. Total estimated construction cost and estimated fair market value of the proposed project;
This amended binding site plan does not propose any construction or development and, hence, the
estimated fair market value of the project is zero.
i. Estimated quantities and type of materials involved if any fill or excavation is proposed;
This amended binding site plan does not propose any construction or development and, hence,
there is no fill or excavation.
j. Number, type and size of trees to be removed;
