LOCATION: 8074 S 132nd St, Renton, WA 98178
DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting a Preliminary Planned Urban Development, Preliminary Plat
and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the construction of 60 attached single-family townhomes. The 4.16-acre site is
located at 8074 S 132nd St (APN’s 214480-0487, -0488, -0500, -0285, and -0295) in the R-14 zoning district. The
residential density of the project with bonus density is 18 du/ac. Access to the townhomes would be from S 132nd St.
The site slopes down to the south with vertical relief of roughly 70 ft. The garages would be accessed via private alleys
and all of the townhomes would be alley-loaded. The soils consist of sand with silt and gravel fill and native soils
indicative of Vashon Recessional Outwash (Qvr) and Lodgement Till (Qvt). Preliminary estimates of 15,000 cy of cut and
3,600 cy of fill. The site contains greenhouses, a shop, a utility building and a single family detached home. All of the
existing structures would be demolished as part of the proposed project. No wetlands or streams are located on the
property. There is a small drainage that runs east-west and is roughly 175 ft to 350 ft south of the property. The
developed site would continue to drain to the south to the natural discharge location for the site. The site is located in
the West Lake Washington drainage basin and stormwater would be met with a stormwater detention vault followed by
a media filter vault with Level 2 Flow Control standards. The site contains 57 significant trees, all of which are proposed
to be removed. Construction is estimated to begin in May 2018 and end one year later. The applicant has submitted a
Preliminary Technical Information Report, Traffic Impact Analysis, Arborist Report, Wetland and Stream Reconnaissance,
Letter of Understanding of Geologic Risk, and a Geotechnical Engineering Report with the application.
Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended), on May 8, 2017,
the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M) for the Earlington
Townhomes. The DNS-M included three (3) mitigation measures related to seasonal earthwork periods, geotechnical
recommendations, and driveway aprons. A 14-day appeal period commenced on May 12, 2017 and ended on May 26,
2017. No appeals of the threshold determination were filed.
