EVALUATION FORM & DECISION
DATE OF DECISION: July 22, 2024
PROJECT NUMBER: LUA24-000200, TP
PROJECT NAME: El Muchacho Alegre Temporary Seating
PROJECT MANAGER: Brianna Burroughs, Associate Planner
APPLICANT/CONTACT: Jesus Orozco
111 Airport Way, Renton, WA 98057
OWNER: Matt Brocket
9330 State Ave #B, Marysville, WA 98270
PROJECT LOCATION: 111 Airport Way, Renton, WA 98057 (APN 7229300035)
DATE OF EXPIRATION: September 30, 2025
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Applicant is requesting a Tier 1 Temporary Use Permit to add temporary outdoor
seating at the 3,272 square foot restaurant known as the El Muchacho Alegre. The outdoor seating area is
proposed along the northwest corner of the building. The seating area would take up three (3) of the existing
42 onsite surface parking stalls used by the restaurant. The outdoor seating area measures approximately 12
feet (12’) in width by 21’ 6” in depth (approx. 259 square feet) and would hold three (3) tables and six (6)
chairs for outside dining. According to Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-4-080F.10.e, eating and drinking
establishments and taverns require a minimum and maximum of 10 per 1,000 square feet of dining area in
the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone. According to the site plan (Exhibit 2), the restaurant dining area is 1,959
square feet and would therefore require 20 parking spaces (1,959 square feet x 0.01 = 19.59 stalls). The
removal of three (3) surface parking stalls for temporary outdoor seating would bring the restaurant closer to
compliance with the minimum and maximum parking code requirement of the code for the existing
restaurant use with 39 remaining stalls. The temporary seating area would be buffered from the street and
surrounding parking by a combination of metal barrier fencing and planter boxes. No interior work is being
proposed. The applicant anticipates that the operating schedule of the temporary outdoor dining would be
from May to September, seven (7) days a week, from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm. See Exhibit 2 for additional site
plan information.
The Temporary Use Permit is hereby Approved with Conditions* .:
*CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL:
1. A City of Renton Business License must be obtained prior to operation.
