Conditional Use Permit\ECF_EnvironmentalChecklist_170505_v1.docxRev: 08/2016 ENV ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST Planning Division 1055 South Grady Way-Renton, WA 98057 Phone: 425-430-7200 | www.rentonwa.gov Purpose of checklist: Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. Instructions for applicants: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or "does not apply" only wh en you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision- making process. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. Instructions for Lead Agencies: Please adjust the format of this template as needed. Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents. Use of checklist for nonproject proposals: For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements –that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal.

Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.) The King County Regional AFIS Laboratory is a levy funded program that provides staff and technology to support criminal fingerprint identification services to law enforcement agencies throughout King County. The program’s latent fingerprint staff recovers, preserves, and examines fingerprint evidence from crime scenes and uses the information gathered to identify criminal suspects and testify to findings in court. The existing AFIS program is located in south Seattle with administrative office space in the King County Courthouse, in Seattle. This project remodels a portion of the first floor of an existing County owned office building to provide a larger, more efficient fingerprint evidence processing space (lab), and supporting administrative, storage and meeting spaces. Additional administrative office space will be located on the second floor. A one story addition to the building will provide conditioned space for collection of evidence from suspect vehicles. No vehicles will be stored on site for longer than 48 hours. Tenant Improvements in existing Black River Office Building: AFIS Lab, Administrative and Storage Areas: 10,522 gross sf Shared Break Room, Conference and Storage: 5,063 gross sf Building Addition: Vehicle Processing Facility: 3,065 gross sf Total Project Area: 18,821 gross sf Total Existing Building Area: 74,915 gross sf Total Site Area: 214,078 sf 12.
