A Master Application has been filed and accepted with the Department of Community & Economic Development
(CED) – Planning Division of the City of Renton. The following briefly describes the application and the necessary
Public Approvals. Please note that this is a re-notice of the application to include the applicant’s request of two (2)

PROJECT NAME: Weatherly Inn
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Hearing Examiner Site Plan Review, Environmental
(SEPA) Review, and two (2) modifications for a proposed assisted living and memory care facility located at the 4500 block
of Talbot Rd. S. The subject property is comprised of two (2) vacant lots (APNs 312305-9094 and 312305-9067) totaling
4.62 acres. The proposed four (4) story building would provide 116 assisted living units and 19 memory care units. Surface
parking would be provided to accommodate 87 vehicles. The subject property is located in the Commercial Office (CO)
zoning classification and Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) land use designation. The far eastern portion of the property is
zoned Residential-1 (R-1) and will remain undeveloped. Access to the site would be provided via driveway from Talbot Rd
S at the intersection of S 45th Pl. New public improvements include an 8-foot wide sidewalk, 8-foot wide planter strip,
curb, and gutter along the property's frontage on Talbot Rd S. Stormwater mitigation would include the use of an on-site
detention vault located below the surface parking lot for flow control and a modular wetland system for treatment. The
proposed development would retain approximately 17-percent of the significant trees on the site. The applicant has
requested modifications from the development regulations to provide 87 parking spaces instead of 147 spaces and to
construct two (2) retaining walls where portions would exceed the eight (8) foot height limit with proposed heights up to
9.5-feet. The applicant has submitted geotechnical, drainage, traffic impact, and arborist reports with the master
application. The City's Critical Area Map indicates the site may contain Geologically Hazardous Areas.
PROJECT LOCATION: 18070 Talbot Rd. S (APN 3123059094 & APN 3123059067)
