5. 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;
No trees will be removed as part of this amended binding site plan.
k. Explanation of any land to be dedicated to the City; and
No land will be dedicated as part of this amended binding site plan.
l. For shoreline applications only:
• Name of adjacent water area or wetlands
Lake Washington is located to the west of the Property.
• Nature of existing shoreline—describe:
Type of shoreline (i.e. lake, stream, lagoon, marsh, bog, floodplain, floodway); Lake
Type of beach (i.e., accretion, erosion, high bank-low bank); Low-bank
Type of material (i.e., sand, gravel, mud, clay, rock, riprap); Gravel and
The extent and type of any bulkheading. None
• The number and location of structures and/or residential units (existing and potential) which might
have views obstructed as a result of the proposed project. None
m. The proposed number, size, and density of the new lots, for subdivision applications only.
None. Construction is not proposed with this binding site plan.

7. Rezone, Variance, Modification, or Conditional Use Justification: Please contact the Planning Division to
determine whether your project proposal triggers any additional land use permits. If so, additional information may
be required.
This amended binding site plan is not proposing any new development and, hence, this requirement is waived.
8. Density Worksheet This can be found on the City’s website https://edocs.rentonwa.gov/Documents/
DocView.aspx?id=8461915&dbid=0&repo=CityofRenton

requirement is waived.
10. Plat Certificate or Title Report: Please provide a current Plat Certificate or Title Report obtained from a title
company documenting the ownership and title of all interested parties in the plat, subdivision, or dedication and
listing all encumbrances of the involved parcel(s). In the case of a final plat, the certificate shall be dated within forty-

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 the stream or lake 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 streams or lake.
25. Flood Hazard Data: Please provide the following:

e. Description of the extent to which a watercourse will be altered or relocated as a result of proposed development.
The amended binding site plan does not propose any new construction and, hence, any flood hazard issues will be
addressed by the City of Renton at the building permit process. Also, information regarding flood matters is available
in the SEPA work completed by the City of Renton on the original application. Finally, this amended binding site plan
does not propose construction and, hence, will not impact any flood hazard matters. Therefore, this requirement is
waived.
26. Habitat Data Report: If the project site contains or abuts a critical habitat per RMC 4-3-050G.6, please provide
a report containing the following:

intrusion, and impacts on wetlands or water resources.
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 habitat 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 habitat. This requirement is, therefore, wavied.
27. Geotechnical Report: A study prepared in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical practices and
stamped by a professional engineer licensed in the State of Washington which includes soils and slope stability
analysis, boring and test pit logs, and recommendations on slope setbacks, foundation design, retaining wall design,

the report shall be reviewed and approved by a geologist. Further recommendations, additions or exceptions to the
original report based on the plans, site conditions, or other supporting data shall be signed and sealed by the
geotechnical engineer. If the geotechnical engineer who reviews the plans and specifications is not the same engineer
who prepared the geotechnical report, the new engineer shall, in a letter to the City accompanying the plans and
specifications, express his or her agreement or disagreement with the recommendations in the geotechnical report
and state that the plans and specifications conform to his or her recommendations. If the site contains a geologic
hazard regulated by the critical areas regulations, the preparation and content requirements of RMC 4-8-120D, Table
18 shall also apply. If the site is within a channel migration zone, within shoreline jurisdiction, the geotechnical report
shall also include a geomorphic assessment by a Washington State licensed geologist with engineering geology or
hydrogeology specialty license plus experience in conducting fluvial geomorphic assessments.
Additional information regarding the geotechnical conditions is available in the underlying SEPA documents on file
at the City of Renton. Construction is not proposed as part of this amended binding site plan and, hence, this
