Project Name: Kraken Volleyball Club
Project File Number: PR17000654
Land Use File Number: LUA17-000847, ECF, MOD
Project Manager: Matt Herrera, Senior Planner
Owner: Torreno Realty Corporation, 101 Montgomery St Suite 200, San Francisco, WA 94104
Applicant/Contact: Jared Walters, 3540 SW Rose St., Seattle, WA 98126
Project Location: 3405 Lind Ave SW
Project Description: The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review for the change of use of a
portion of an existing 118,176 square foot distribution warehouse to an indoor
recreational facility located at 3405 Lind Ave SW (Exhibit 2). The indoor recreational
facility would utilize 29,890 square feet of the southern portion of the existing
warehouse building and be used for a volleyball training center. The project site totals
5.15 acres and is located within the Light Industrial (IL) zoning classification and
Employment Area (EA) land use designation. No exterior building or site alterations are
proposed at this time. Proposed improvements would be to the existing building's
interior. The existing 140 surface parking spaces and two (2) driveways off of Lind Ave
SW and one (1) driveway off SW 34th St would remain in their current configuration. The
applicant has requested a parking modification for a reduction in the minimum required
number of parking spaces. A seismic hazard area is mapped on the project site.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those project
impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations.
A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials:
Issue a DNS with a 14-day Appeal Period.
B. Mitigation Measures
No mitigation measures are recommended.

D. Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the
applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction
with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following
probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts: A seismic hazard area is mapped on the project site. No expansion of the building footprint
(Exhibits 3 and 4) is proposed and all improvements are internal and limited to the individual tenant space
(Exhibit 5); therefore, the applicant was not required to submit a geotechnical report with the formal land
use application. It is anticipated that the City’s currently adopted building codes would adequately mitigate
for any impacts that could result from the proposed tenant improvements; therefore no further mitigation is
recommended.
Mitigation Measures: None recommended.
Nexus: Not applicable.
2. Transportation
Impacts: A Traffic Assessment Memorandum, prepared by Transportation Engineering Northwest dated
December 7, 2017 (Exhibit 6), was submitted with the land use application. The memorandum details trip
generation and parking demand data associated with the proposed volleyball club and the previous
warehouse use.
The memorandum’s trip generation was calculated by forecasted employee trips, user trips, and delivery
type trips as the proposed volleyball club is a unique use not categorized by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation manual. The generation estimate also considered the proposed club will not

be open during the typical weekday PM peak period of 3:00pm to 6:00pm. The memorandum’s analysis has
determined the previous warehouse use contained 93 total weekday daily trips with five (5) of those trips
occurring in the weekday AM Peak Hour and six (6) occurring in the PM Peak Hour. The proposed volleyball
club would generate 82 total weekday daily trips with no trips occurring in the AM or PM peak hours.
Therefore, the proposed volleyball club is estimated to generate fewer trips than the previous warehouse
use. Additionally, staff conducted a Traffic Concurrency Test (Exhibit 7) based on the City’s citywide
Transportation Plan and projected growth levels. The proposal has met the City’s concurrency requirements.
The subject property contains 140 surface parking spaces for the 118,176 square foot warehouse building,
of which, the Kraken Volleyball Club would occupy 29,890 square feet. The remaining warehouse space is
currently occupied by the Baden Sports Company. The applicant has submitted a modification request to
reduce the code required 280 parking spaces the volleyball club would need to provide as set forth in RMC
4-4-080(F). The 280 parking space requirement is determined by providing one (1) space per occupant based
on 50-percent of the maximum of occupant load for the club’s space. The applicant’s modification request
provides analysis from the above referenced Traffic Assessment Memorandum that states that the code
required parking is approximately 10 times greater than the estimated peak parking demand created by the
volleyball club. The analysis determined that the existing 140 parking spaces could accommodate the
existing Baden Sports Company parking demand and the estimated peak parking demand of 26 spaces for
the proposed volleyball club. The modification request will be reviewed by City staff with a decision issued
based on conformance with the modification criteria.
Mitigation Measures: None recommended.
Nexus: Not applicable.
E. Comments of Reviewing Departments
The proposal has been circulated to City Department and Division Reviewers. Where applicable, their
comments have been incorporated into the text of this report and/or “Advisory Notes to Applicant” (Exhibit 8).
Copies of all Review Comments are contained in the Official File and may be attached to this report.
The Environmental Determination decision will become final if the decision is not appealed within the 14-day
appeal period (RCW 43.21.C.075(3); WAC 197-11-680).

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 7, 2017
TO: Matt Herrera
City of Renton Planning Department
FROM: Curtis Chin, P.E.
TENW
SUBJECT: Traffic Assessment
Kraken Volleyball Club - Renton, WA
TENW Project No. 5604
This memorandum documents the traffic assessment completed for the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club
project located at 3405 Lind Ave SW in Renton, WA. The traffic assessment includes a trip generation
estimate, parking modification request, and an impact fee calculation for the proposed project.
Project Description
Based on current plans, the project includes tenant improvements to 29,890 square feet (SF) of an
approximately 120,000 SF existing warehouse building. The proposed use includes a youth volleyball
training facility. The proposed facility would have limited evening operating hours outside of the CityÊs 3:00
– 6:00 PM peak period. Parking for the site is provided by 140 on-site parking stalls.

Trip Generation Estimate
Based on information provided by the applicant, the proposed use is unique and is not consistent with any
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation manual land use category. The most similar land
use category in ITE is Athletic Club (ITE land use code 493). However, the key difference between the ITE
use and the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club project is that the proposed project will not be open during the
typical weekday PM peak period (3:00 PM – 6:00 PM).
To estimate the trip generation from the proposed volleyball club, the applicant provided forecasts of
employee/staff trips, user trips, and other site related trips (mail, UPS/FedEx deliveries, etc.). This information
was used to estimate trip generation which is summarized in Attachment A and described below.
Employee/Staff Trips – The volleyball club is planned to have 10 employee/staff members on site
during a typical weekday. The employees would be scheduled to arrive and leave the site outside
of the City of RentonÊs typical AM peak period (6:00 AM – 9:00 AM) and typical PM peak period
(3:00 – 6:00 PM).
User Trips – During a typical weekday, the volleyball club would provide two practice sessions and
private classes for up to 60 youth volleyball players. Most youth volleyball players would arrive to
the site via carpools. For this trip generation estimate, each carpool trip was estimated to include an
average of 2.5 kids. The majority of the parents driving the kids to the site would stay at the facility
and watch the practice/lessons. During a typical weeknight, private lessons would start at 6:30 PM
and two 1.5- hour practice sessions would be provided. Practice session #1 would start at 7:00
PM and the practice session #2 would start at 8:30 PM.
Other Trips – Other trips associated with the proposed facility include mail deliveries and typical UPS
or FedEx deliveries. The applicant expects 4 total delivery type trips (2 entering, 2 exiting) throughout
a typical weekday.
Table 1 summarizes the net new weekday daily AM, and PM peak hour trip generation estimates of the
volleyball club which includes a trip credit for 29,890 SF of warehouse space that will be replaced.

As shown in Table 1, the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club is estimated to generate less weekday daily, AM
peak hour, and PM peak hour trips than the currently entitled warehouse use.
Parking Modification
The applicant is requesting a parking modification for the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club project to allow
fewer on-site parking stalls than the City of RentonÊs code requirement.
Code Analysis
The existing 118,176 square foot warehouse building currently includes 140 on-site parking spaces. The
Baden Sports company currently occupies 88,286 SF of the warehouse and the remaining 29,890 SF would
be occupied by the Kraken Volleyball Club. Based on information provided by the applicant, the maximum
occupant load of the 29,890 SF space to be occupied by the Kraken Volleyball Club is 560 people.
The CityÊs parking code requirement for „Warehouse and Indoor Storage Buildings‰ is a minimum and a
maximum of 1 space per 1,500 sf of net floor area. To assess the code required parking for the Kraken
Volleyball Club use, the „Other Recreational‰ category included in Renton Municipal Code Section 4-4-080
(F) was used which includes a minimum and a maximum of 1 space per 50% of the maximum occupant load.
This results in a code requirement of 339 parking spaces (min and max). Table 2 summarizes our assessment
of the code required parking for the site.

Occupancy 280
TOTAL = 118,176 SF 339
As shown in Table 2, our assessment of the city code required parking would be 339 spaces which is greater
than the 140 on-site parking stall supply. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a parking modification for a
decreased parking supply on the site.
Justification for Proposed Parking Modification
The code required parking for the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club based on the CityÊs „Other Recreation‰
land use category is approximately 10 times greater than the estimated peak parking demand that would be
created by the proposed volleyball training facility.
To estimate the peak parking demand for the proposed volleyball training facility, the applicant provided
forecasts of employee/staff trips, user trips, and other site related trips (mail, UPS/FedEx deliveries, etc.).
Based on this information, the resulting estimated peak parking demand created by these trips is summarized
in Table 3.

Estimate1 Time Period

Note:
1. Peak parking demand derived from information provided by the applicant for employees and
users.
As shown in Table 3 above, the estimated peak parking demand of the site is estimated to be 26 parking
stalls which would occur between 8:00 PM and 8:30 PM on weeknights. Therefore, the 140 on-site parking
stalls shared with Baden Sports company would be able to accommodate the code required parking for the
Baden Sports as well as the estimated peak parking demand for the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club. It
should be noted that the hours of operation for the Baden Sports company is between 8:00 AM and 5:00
PM and is not expected to have a significant parking demand during the volleyball clubs evening peak. The
detailed estimated parking demand for the proposed Kraken Volleyball Club use is included in Attachment
B.

Transportation Impact Fees
The applicant is requesting an independent fee calculation for this project that accounts for the fact that the
proposed volleyball facility will not be generating trips during the weekday PM peak hour and none of the
fee categories included in the CityÊs Fee Schedule accurately describe or capture the impacts of the proposed
volleyball facility. An independent impact fee calculation for this purpose is established in City code section
4-1-190(H). Since the project would likely result in a net reduction in trips (when compared to the entitled
warehouse use) during the weekday PM peak hour, the collection of transportation impact fees would not be
applicable. Therefore, no transportation impacts fees are expected to be required for the project.
Please call me at 425-250-5003 or email at chin@tenw.com if you have any questions with the information
included in this memorandum.

FROM: Brianne Bannwarth, Development Engineering Manager
SUBJECT: Traffic Concurrency Test – Kraken Volleyball Club;
LUA17-000847, ECF
The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review for the change of use of a portion of an
existing 118,176 square foot distribution warehouse to an indoor recreational facility. The indoor
recreational facility area of the existing building would utilize approximately 30,000 square feet
of the southern portion of the warehouse building and be used for a volleyball training center.
The project site totals 5.15 acres and is located within the Light Industrial (IL) zoning classification
and Employment Area (EA) land use designation. No exterior building or site alterations are
proposed at this time. Proposed improvements would be to the existing building's interior. The
existing 140 surface parking spaces and two (2) driveways off of Lind Ave SW and one (1) driveway
off SW 34th St would remain in their current configuration. The applicant has requested a parking
modification for a reduction in the minimum required number of parking spaces.
The proposed development would generate a reduction of approximately 10 net new average
weekday daily trips. During the weekday AM peak hour, the project would generate a reduction
of approximately 29 net new trips (-22 inbound and -7 outbound). During the weekday PM peak
hour, the project would generate a reduction of approximately 31 net new trips (-8 inbound and
-23 outbound). The proposed project passes the City of Renton Traffic Concurrency Test per RMC
4-6-070.D as follows:

Traffic Concurrency Test Criteria Pass
Implementation of citywide Transportation Plan Yes
Within allowed growth levels Yes
Project subject to transportation mitigation or impact fees Yes
Site specific street improvements to be completed by project Not Required
Traffic Concurrency Test Passes
Evaluation of Test Criteria
Implementation of citywide Transportation Plan: The City’s investment in completion of the
forecast traffic improvements is 130% of the scheduled expenditure through 2017.
Within allowed growth levels: As shown on the attached citywide traffic concurrency summary,
the calculated citywide trip capacity for concurrency with the city adopted model for 2017 is
2,073 trips, which provides sufficient capacity to accommodate a reduction of 31 trips from this
project. A resulting 2,104 trips are remaining.
Project subject to transportation mitigation or impact fees: The project will be subject to
transportation impact fees at time of building permit for the project.
Site specific street improvements to be completed by project: The project will not be required to
complete new frontage street improvements for the building prior to occupancy based on the
approved Street Modification requested by the applicant. The current site frontage includes
frontage improvements consistent with the surrounding area.
Background Information on Traffic Concurrency Test for Renton
The City of Renton Traffic Concurrency requirements for proposed development projects are
covered under Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-6-070. The specific concurrency test requirement
is covered in RMC 4-6-070.D, which is listed for reference:
D. CONCURRENCY REVIEW PROCESS:
1. Test Required: A concurrency test shall be conducted by the Department for each
nonexempt development activity. The concurrency test shall determine consistency with
the adopted Citywide Level of Service Index and Concurrency Management Sy stem
established in the Transportation Element of the Renton Comprehensive Plan, according
to rules and procedures established by the Department. The Department shall issue an
initial concurrency test result describing the outcome of the concurrency test.

January 8, 2018
2. Written Finding Required: Prior to approval of any nonexempt development activity
permit application, a written finding of concurrency shall be made by the City as part of
the development permit approval. The finding of concurrency shall be made by the
decision maker with the authority to approve the accompanying development permits
required for a development activity. A written finding of concurrency shall apply only to
the specific land uses, densities, intensities, and development project described in the
application and development permit.
3. Failure of Test: If no reconsideration is requested, or if upon reconsideration a project
fails the concurrency test, the project application shall be denied by the decision maker
with the authority to approve the accompanying development activity permit application.
The Concurrency Management System established in the Transportation Element on page XI -65
of the Comprehensive Plan states the following:
Based upon the test of the citywide Transportation Plan, consideration of growth levels
included in the LOS-tested Transportation Plan, payment of a Transportation Mitigation
Fee, and an application of site specific mitigation, development will have met City of
Renton concurrency requirements.

drains north into a 60” storm drain in Lind Ave SW. Reference Project File TED4001997 in COR
Maps for record drawings.
STREETS: Lind Ave SW is classified as a minor arterial street. The paved roadway width of Lind
Ave SW. adjacent to the site is approximately 50’ consisting of 4 – 11’ travel lanes heading north
and south. There is an existing curb, a 2’ vegetated strip directly behind the curb, and a 5’
sidewalk along the western frontage of the roadway. There is an existing curb, 10’ planting strip
and a 6’ sidewalk directly behind the curb along the eastern frontage of the roadway.
SW 34th ST north of the site is classified as a minor arterial street. The paved roadway width of
SW 34th ST adjacent to the site is approximately 55’ consisting of 5 – 11’ travel lanes. There is an
existing curb, planting strip, and 5’ sidewalk directly behind the curb along the southern
frontage of the roadway. There is an existing curb and 5’ sidewalk directly behind the curb
along the northern frontage of the roadway.
WATER COMMENTS
1. No water system development charges are applicable at this time as the project is not
proposing to add a new water service or increase the size of the existing meter.
SEWER COMMENTS
1. Any of the existing side sewers along Lind Ave SW. can be reused to serve the renovated
building.
2. No sewer system development charges are applicable at this time as the project is not
proposing to add a new water service or increase the size of the existing water meter.
STORM DRAINAGE COMMENTS
1. The project is not proposing to add or replace any impervious surface. At this time
drainage review is not required.
2. Stormwater system development charges are not applicable at this time as the project
will not produce any new impervious surface.
TRANSPORTATION/STREET COMMENTS
1. Transportation trips reduced therefore no transportation impact fee is required
2. Per RMC 4-6-060, no street frontage improvements or street lighting are required for
interior remodels that do not involve a building addition
3. A Trip Generation Letter prepared by Transportation Engineering Northwest dated
December 7, 2017 was submitted to the City as part of the site plan submittal. The
letter states that the existing use of the building is 88,286 square feet of warehouse for
Baden Sports Company. The remaining 29,890 SF of warehouse space will be occupied
by the Kraken Volleyball club.
The 29,890 square feet of warehouse will be converted into an Athletic Club . Per the
letter, the existing warehouse space is classified as ITE Land Use 150 (Warehousing) and
it will be converted to recreational space that is generally consistent with ITE Land Use
493 (Athletic Club).
Trip generation calculations were completed for the Kraken Volleyball Club. The trip
generation calculations were done with trip generation data from the ITE Trip
Generation Manual. The most similar land use Category in the ITE manual is ITE land use
code 493 (Athletic Club). The calculations conclude that the new Athletic club use will
generate -5 additional weekday trips in the AM peak hours (6:00 – 9:00) and -6
additional weekday trips in PM peak hours (3:00 – 6:00). The City requires a Traffic
Impact Analysis if new vehicular traffic exceeding 20 vehicles per hour in either the AM
or PM peak hours is generated by a development. As this project does not meet that
threshold, no further review is needed.
City staff is in agreement with the findings of this memo and will not require any further
studies.
GENERAL COMMENTS
1. The fees listed are for 2018. The fees that are current at the time of the respective permit
issuance will be levied. Please see the City of Renton website for the current development
fee schedule.
2. All new utility lines (i.e. electrical, phone, and cable services, etc.) within the site must be
underground. The construction of these franchise utilities must be inspected and
approved by a City of Renton inspector.
3. Retaining walls that are 4’ or taller from bottom of footing and stormwater detention
vaults will require a separate building permit. Structural calculations and plans prepared
by a licensed engineer will be required as part of the building permit review.
4. All civil plans shall conform to the current City of Renton survey and drafting standards.
Current drafting standards can be found on the City of Renton website.
5. A separate plan submittal will be required for a construction permit for utility work and
street improvements. All plans shall be prepared by a licensed Civil Engineer in the State
of Washington.
6. Please see the City of Renton Development Engineering website for the Construction
Permit Application and Construction Permit Process and Submittal Requirements. Please
contact the City to schedule a construction permit intake meeting.
7. All plan review for the City is now paperless. Please see http://rentonwa.gov/paperless/
for more information.
