DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE: October 3, 2024 TO: Pre-Application File No. 24-000291 FROM: Jill Ding, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Renton Top of the Hill Quality Produce – 5325 NE 4th St (APNs 0847100014, 0847100015, and 0847100016) 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, Development Services Director, Development Engineering 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 subject property is comprised of three separate parcels with five (5) existing buildings and is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Jericho Ave NE and NE 4th St and is addressed as 5325 NE 4th St (APNs 0847100014, 0847100015, and 0847100016). The project site totals 90,520 square feet (2.08 acres) in area and is zoned Commercial Neighborhood (CN) and is within Urban Design District D. There are four existing buildings that are proposed to remain on the project site, a 4,954 square foot produce stand, located on the southeast corner of the project site was damaged by arson. The proposal is to rebuild the produce stand in its previous building footprint. Access to the site would remain via the existing curb cuts off NE 4th St and Jericho Ave NE. No changes are proposed to the existing surface parking lot. There are 15 parking spaces located adjacent to the produce stand. According to City of Renton (COR) Maps, a slope with less than a twenty-five (25) percent grade is mapped on the project site. No other critical areas are mapped on site. Current Use: Currently the site is occupied with five existing buildings, one of which was damaged by arson. The fire damaged building is proposed to be rebuilt within its existing footprint. 1. Zoning /Land Use Designation, and Overlays: The project site is located in the Residential High Density (RHD) land use designation, the Commercial Neighborhood (CN) zoning designation, and Urban Design District D. The Residential High Density unit types are designed to incorporate features from both single family and multifamily developments, support cost- efficient housing, facilitate infill development, have close access to transit service, and efficiently use urban services and infrastructure. Land designated RHD is where projects will Renton Top of the Hill Quality Produce Page 2 of 8 October 3, 2024 be compatible with existing uses and where infrastructure is adequate to handle impacts from higher density uses. The purpose of the Commercial Neighborhood Zone (CN) is to provide for small-scale convenience retail/commercial areas offering incidental retail and service needs for the surrounding area. Uses serving a larger area may be appropriate if they also serve the residents of the immediate area and are compatible with the scale and character of the neighborhood. This designation is the smallest and least intensive of the City’s commercial zones. Retail sales uses are permitted uses within the CN zone, provided retail sales uses in the CN Zone are limited to: flowers/plants and floral supplies; mini-marts; crafts, including supplies and finished products; gift shops; specialty markets; and other similar small scale, low- intensity commercial uses that serve nearby residents, as determined by the Community and Economic Development Administrator. 2. Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-120A, “Development Standards for Commercial Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application (noted as “CN standards” herein). Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size required in the CN zone is 5,000 sq. ft. There are no minimum lot width and depth requirements. The existing project site is comprised of three (3) lots, the lot sizes of each individual lot are as follows: 18,060 sq. ft., 29, 535 sq. ft., and 42, 925 sq. ft. All of the existing lots exceed the minimum 5,000 sq. ft. lot size requirement in the CN zone. Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the property line and any private access easement or tract. Minimum Front Yard 15 ft. Maximum Front Yard 20 ft. Minimum Secondary Front Yard 15 ft. Maximum Secondary Front Yard 20 ft. Minimum Freeway Frontage Setback 10 ft. landscaped setback from the property line. Minimum Rear Yard None, except 15 ft. if lot abuts a lot zoned residential. Minimum Side Yard None, except 15 ft. if lot abuts or is adjacent to a lot zoned residential. Clear Vision Area In no case shall a structure over 42 in. in height intrude into the 20 ft. clear vision area defined in RMC 4-11-030. The previously existing produce stand is currently located over an existing property line, and would maintain a 15-foot building setback from the abutting residentially zoned properties. Maximum Gross Floor Area – The maximum gross floor area of any single commercial use on a site is 5,000 gross sq. ft. and the maximum gross floor area of any single office use on a site is 3,000 gross sq. ft. The maximum sizes shall not be exceeded, except by conditional use permit. The proposed use is commercial use that includes retail sales, not office, therefore Renton Top of the Hill Quality Produce Page 3 of 8 October 3, 2024 the maximum gross floor area requirement of 5,000 sq. ft. is applicable. The applicant is proposing to rebuild the 4,954 sq. ft. produce store which complies with the 5,000 sq. ft. maximum gross floor area allowed for a single commercial use. Building Height – Maximum building height in the CN zone is 35 feet. In no case shall building height exceed the maximum allowed by the Airport Compatible Land Use Restrictions, for uses located within the Federal Aviation Administration Airport Zones designated under RMC 4-3-020. The proposed building would be reviewed for compliance with the maximum height requirements of the CN zone at the time of formal land use application. Maximum Lot Coverage for Buildings – The maximum lot coverage requirements in the CN zone are 65% of total lot area or 75% if parking is provided within the building or within a parking garage. The proposed building would be reviewed for compliance with the maximum lot coverage requirements of the CN zone at the time of formal land use application. Screening – Screening must be provided for all surface-mounted and roof top utility and mechanical equipment. The site plan application will need to include elevations and details for the proposed methods of screening (see RMC 4-4-095). 3. Refuse and Recycling Areas: Refuse and recycling areas must meet the requirements of RMC 4-4-090, “Refuse and Recyclables Standards.” In retail developments, a minimum of five (5) square feet per every one thousand (1,000) square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided for recyclables deposit areas and a minimum of ten (10) square feet per one thousand (1,000) square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided for refuse deposit areas. A total minimum area of one hundred (100) square feet shall be provided for recycling and refuse deposit areas. Compliance with the refuse and recycling standards would be reviewed at the time of formal application. 4. Landscaping: Except for critical areas, all portions of the development area not covered by structures, required parking, access, circulation or service areas, must be landscaped with native, drought-resistant vegetative cover. Street Frontage Landscaping – The minimum onsite landscape width required along street frontages is 10 feet, with the exception of areas for required walkways and driveways, and shall contain trees, shrubs, and landscaping. When a Commercial Zoned Lot or Use Is Abutting a Residential Zone – A fifteen-foot (15') wide partially sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, or ten-foot (10') wide fully sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, is required along the common property line. Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) for additional general and specific landscape requirements. The project site is currently landscaped with mature landscaping, the existing landscaping appears to comply with the street frontage landscape requirements and provides a landscaped visual barrier to the abutting residentially zoned properties. A conceptual landscape plan demonstrating compliance with the landscape standards shall be submitted at the time of land use application. 5. Significant Tree Retention: Application materials identify that there are mature trees on the site. When significant trees (greater than 6-inch caliper or 8-caliper inches for alders and cottonwoods) are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory and a tree retention plan along Renton Top of the Hill Quality Produce Page 4 of 8 October 3, 2024 with an arborist report, tree retention plan and tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application as defined in RMC 4-8-120. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least 30% of significant trees. Please refer to RMC 4-4-130, Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations for further general and specific tree retention and land clearing requirements. In addition to retaining a minimum of 30% of existing significant trees, each new lot would be required to provide a minimum tree density of 30 tree credits per net acre. Tree credits encourage retention of existing significant trees with larger trees being worth more tree credits. TREE SIZE TREE CREDITS New small species tree 0.25 New medium species tree 1 New large species tree 2 Preserved tree 6 – 9 caliper inches 4 Preserved tree 10 – 12 caliper inches 5 Preserved tree 12 – 15 caliper inches 6 Preserved tree 16 – 18 caliper inches 7 Preserved tree 19 – 21 caliper inches 8 Preserved tree 22 – 24 caliper inches 9 Preserved tree 25 – 28 caliper inches 10 Preserved tree 29 – 32 caliper inches 11 Preserved tree 33 – 36 caliper inches 12 Preserved tree 37 caliper inches and greater 13 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. Renton Top of the Hill Quality Produce Page 5 of 8 October 3, 2024 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- 130H.1.e 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 credit worksheet prepared by an arborist or landscape architect would be required if the proposal includes any expansion or addition of the existing building. 6. Fences/Retaining Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences as part of this project, the location must be designated on the landscape plan. A wall taller than four feet requires a building permit. Fences up to six-feet in height are permitted in the rear yard and side yard; fences up to four feet are permitted in the front yard. Any part of a yard that is within a clear vision area has a limited fence height of 42 inches. A fence shall not be constructed on top of a retaining wall unless the total combined height of the retaining wall and the fence does not exceed the allowed height of a standalone fence. New or existing fencing would need to comply with the fence requirements of the code (RMC 4-4-040). Retaining walls shall be composed of brick, rock, textured or patterned concrete, or other masonry product that complements the proposed building and site development. There shall be a minimum three-foot (3') landscaped setback at the base of retaining walls abutting public rights-of-way. Please refer to retaining wall standards (RMC 4-4-040) for additional information about fences and retaining walls. 7. Parking: The following table provides parking ratios for the commercial mixed uses outside of the Center Downtown (CD) Zone: Use Square footage Ratio Required Spaces Shopping Centers (4 or more individual commercial establishments) : 14,675 A minimum of 2.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of net floor area and a maximum of 5.0 spaces per 1,000 square feet of net floor area. Min: 37 Max: 73 The existing site has sixty four (64) parking spaces, which would fall within the range of permitted parking for the existing shopping center. The applicant will be required at the time of land use application to provide a parking analysis of the subject site (analysis should include parking requirements for all uses on the site) with calculations based on the requirements noted above. The analysis would include dimensions of stalls and drive aisles. Please refer to Renton Top of the Hill Quality Produce Page 6 of 8 October 3, 2024 RMC 4-4-080F.8 and 9 for standard, structured, and compact space requirements and aisle width requirements. A twenty five percent (25%) reduction or increase from the minimum or maximum number of parking spaces may be granted for nonresidential uses through site plan review if the applicant can justify the modification to the satisfaction of the Administrator. Justification might include, but is not limited to, quantitative information such as sales receipts, documentation of customer frequency, and parking standards of nearby cities. All non-residential development that exceeds 4,000 gross square feet in size would also be required to comply with the bicycle parking requirements of RMC 4-4-080F.11. The number of bicycle parking spaces required would be based on 10% of the required number of off- street vehicle parking stalls. The proposed project would be required to provide four (4) bicycle parking spaces. 8. Access/Driveways: 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. Joint use driveways reduce the number of curb cuts along individual streets and thereby improve safety and reduce congestion while providing for additional on-street parking opportunities. Joint use driveways should be encouraged when feasible and appropriate, particularly when there is existing underutilized parking proximate to a subject site. 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. Compliance with driveway standards will be reviewed with the land use application. 9. Urban Design Regulations: Compliance with Urban Design Regulations, District ‘D’, is required. The land use application shall provide a written narrative to identify how the project meets each applicable urban design regulations. Please refer the standards in their entirety at RMC 4-3-100.
