Compliance Comprehensive Plan Analysis
Policy L-57: Compliment the built environment with landscaping using native,
naturalized, ad ornamental planting that are appropriate for the situation and
circumstance and which provide for respite, recreation, and sun/shade.
Policy HHS-18: Promote healthcare equity and increase the availability of medical and
dental care, mental health and substance abuse services, early childhood screenings, and
parenting support.
15. Zoning Development Standard Compliance: The purpose of the Medium Industrial Zone (IM) is to
provide areas for medium-intensity industrial activities involving manufacturing, processing, assembly,
and warehousing. Uses in this zone may require some outdoor storage and may create some external
emissions of noise, odor, glare, vibration, etc., but these are largely contained on-site. Compatible uses
that directly serve the needs of other uses permitted within the district are also allowed zone-wide.
Additionally, within the Employment Area designation, an even wider variety of commercial and service
uses may be permitted. The proposal is compliant with the following development standards, as outlined
in RMC 4-2-130A:

Setbacks: The minimum front yard setbacks are 20 feet along principal arterial streets
and 15 feet along other streets, provided for lots adjacent to residentially zoned
properties this setback increases to 50 feet. The minimum secondary front yard
setbacks are 20 feet along principal arterial streets and 15 feet along other streets,
provided for lots adjacent to residentially zoned properties this setback increases to 50
feet. There are no side or rear yard setback requirements, except 50 feet if abutting a
lot zoned residential.
Staff Comment: The front yard is abutting SW 10th Street, which is an industrial access
street. The existing building is setback approximately 19 feet from this non-arterial
street. A secondary front yard is located along the SW Grady Way frontage, which
contains no vehicle or pedestrian ingress/egress. The building is setback approximately
94 feet from this principal arterial street. No abutting lots are zoned residential and
therefore no setbacks are required along the east and west property lines.
Building Standards: There are no maximum lot coverage requirements for buildings in
the IM zone. There are no maximum building height requirements in the IM zone.
Staff Comment: Lot coverage for the building is approximately 30 percent (30%). The
building is two stories and between 25 and 30 feet (25-30’) in height.
Landscaping: The City’s landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) require a 10-foot
landscape strip along all public street frontages. Additional minimum planting strip
widths between the curb and sidewalk are established according to the street
development standards of RMC 4-6-060. Street trees and, at a minimum, groundcover,
are to be located in this area when present. Spacing standards shall be as stipulated by
the Department of Community and Economic Development, provided there shall be a
minimum of one street tree planted per address. Any additional undeveloped right-of-
way areas shall be landscaped unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.
All parking lots shall have perimeter landscaping as follows:
Such landscaping shall be at least ten feet (10') in width as measured from the street
right-of-way. Standards for planting shall be as follows:
a. Trees shall be two inches (2") in diameter at breast height (dbh) for multi-
family, commercial, and industrial uses at an average minimum rate of one tree
per thirty (30) lineal feet of street frontage.
b. Shrubs at the minimum rate of one per twenty (20) square feet of landscaped
area. Up to fifty percent (50%) of shrubs may be deciduous.
c. Ground cover in sufficient quantities to provide at least ninety percent (90%)

per parking space, 51 and 99 spaces shall provide 25 sf of landscaping per parking space,
and 100 or more spaces shall provide 35 sf of landscaping per parking space. Perimeter
parking lot landscaping shall be at least 10 feet in width, interior parking lot landscaped
areas shall have a minimum width of 5 feet.
Staff Comment: The proposal does not include any exterior improvements that would
require compliance with the current landscaping regulations. Changes in use can trigger
compliance with current regulations if the improvements are equal or greater than 50
percent (50%) of the assessed property valuations. The proposed interior improvements

CONSEJO CUP FILE NUMBER LUA18-000290,CU-H
Report of July 24, 2018 Page 6 of 10
SR_Consejo_Report_HEX_180724
to the building are valued at approximately $500,000.00, which is less than 50 percent
(50%) of the assessed property valuation of nearly $2.9 million per King County records.
N/A
Tree Retention: The City’s adopted Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations (4-4-
130) require the retention of 10 percent of trees in a commercial development.
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; and significant trees over sixty feet (60') in
height or greater than eighteen inches ( 18") caliper.
Priority Two: Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be preserved;
other significant native evergreen or deciduous trees; and other significant non- native
trees.
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.
Staff Comment: Not applicable, the applicant proposes to retain all trees with the
project proposal.
N/A
Screening: All on-site surface mounted utility equipment shall be screened from public
view. Screening shall consist of equipment cabinets enclosing the utility equipment,
solid fencing or a wall of a height at least as high as the equipment it screens, or a
landscaped visual barrier allowing for reasonable access to equipment. Equipment
cabinets, fencing, and walls shall be made of materials and/or colors compatible with
building materials. All operating equipment located on the roof of any building shall be
enclosed so as to be screened from public view.
Staff Comment: No new utility equipment is proposed with the project.
Refuse and Recycling: In office, educational and institutional developments, a minimum
of two (2) 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 four (4) 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.
Staff Comment: The site currently provides approximately 375 square feet of refuse and
recycling space located on the southeast corner of the property, which would comply
with the current minimum requirements.
Parking: Service and social organizations is not an identified use in the City’s parking
space quantity table set forth in RMC 4-4-080F.10.d. For those uses not specifically
identified in the table, the code states that City staff shall determine which of the listed
uses is most similar to the proposal and base the required number of spaces on that
similar use.
Staff Comment: The existing site contains 81 vehicle parking spaces with uses within the
building that include a mix of general office and medical office uses. The net area of the
existing building is approximately 16,200 square feet. The site currently contains a

CONSEJO CUP FILE NUMBER LUA18-000290,CU-H
Report of July 24, 2018 Page 7 of 10
SR_Consejo_Report_HEX_180724
parking ratio of 5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of net floor area (81 spaces /16.2 = 5
spaces per 1,000sf.).
The applicant proposes to utilize the building as a service and social organization that
would include services such as outpatient mental health therapy, case management,
older adult day support, domestic violence services, Less Restrictive Alternative (LRA)
support, and general administrative services for the organization. The proposed floor
plan (Exhibit 5) identifies spaces with meeting rooms, receptionist space, and offices
that are indicative of office uses. Medical office would be the most similar use identified
in the space quantity table for the types of services that would be provided by the
applicant.
Pursuant to RMC 4-4-080F.10.d., general office uses shall provide between 2 and 4.5
spaces per 1,000 square feet of net floor area, which would result within a range of 32
to 65 spaces for the existing building. Medical office uses shall provide 5 spaces per
1,000 square feet of net floor area, which would result in 81 spaces for the existing
building. The subject property’s existing parking capacity would comply with current
medical office parking requirements, therefore no new parking would be required for
the new use.
N/A
Fences and Retaining Walls: A maximum of eight feet (8') anywhere on the lot provided
the fence, retaining wall or hedge does not stand in or in front of any required
landscaping or pose a traffic vision hazard.
There shall be a minimum three-foot (3') landscaped setback at the base of retaining
walls abutting public rights-of-way.
Staff Comment: Not applicable, no fencing or retaining walls are proposed.
16. Critical Areas: Project sites which contain critical areas are required to comply with the Critical Areas
Regulations (RMC 4-3-050). The proposal is consistent with the Critical Areas Regulations:
Geologically Hazardous Areas: Based upon the results of a geotechnical report and/or
independent review, conditions of approval for developments may include buffers
and/or setbacks from buffers.
Staff Comment: A seismic hazard area is mapped on the project site. A geotechnical
report was not required to be submitted with the formal land use application as no new
buildings or expansions of the existing building is proposed.
17. Conditional Use Analysis: The applicant proposes to change the current general office and medical office
use within the existing building to service and social organization. The use differs from general and
medical office as the applicant is a non-profit social service organization that would provide a range of
services including behavioral/psychiatric health services, case management, domestic violence advocacy,
Less Restrictive Alternative support, cultural consultations, and older adult day support and services.
While no exterior improvements to the property are proposed, a service and social organization use
located within the IM zone requires Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit approval pursuant to RMC
4-2-060 – Zoning Use Table. The proposal is compliant with the following conditional use criteria,
pursuant to RMC 4-9-030. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the requested Conditional Use
Permit.

Compliance Conditional Use Criteria and Analysis
a. Consistency with Plans and Regulations: The proposed use shall be compatible
with the general goals, objectives, policies and standards of the Comprehensive
Plan, the zoning regulations and any other plans, programs, maps or ordinances of
the City of Renton.
Staff Comment: See FOF 14 for Comprehensive Plan and FOF 15 zoning regulation
compliance.
b. Appropriate Location: The proposed location shall not result in the detrimental
overconcentration of a particular use within the City or within the immediate area
of the proposed use. The proposed location shall be suited for the proposed use.
Staff Comment: The applicant contends that the building was initially constructed for
medical office use, which is similar to the services that would be provided with the
proposal.
Staff concurs that the proposed location will not result in an overconcentration of the
proposed use. The area does not contain a cluster of behavioral health, psychiatric care,
case management, and Less Restrictive Alternative services.
c. Effect on Adjacent Properties: The proposed use at the proposed location shall not
result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property.
Staff Comment: The applicant contends that the proposed location will not adversely
effect on adjacent property and that the proposal is complementary to the neighbors.
Staff concurs that the proposal would not result in adverse effects on adjacent
properties. The services provided by the applicant are similar to the existing uses that
have been within the building since its initial development in 1985.
d. Compatibility: The proposed use shall be compatible with the scale and character
of the neighborhood.
Staff Comment: The applicant contends that no exterior work is proposed and all work
would be limited to the interior of the building and therefore the applicant would
preserve the existing scale and character of the neighborhood.
Staff concurs that the use would be compatible with the neighborhood. As stated by the
applicant, the existing building has been there since 1985 and no exterior work would
occur.
e. Parking: Adequate parking is, or will be made, available.
Staff Comment: The applicant contends the existing parking lot is sufficient for the
proposed use.
Staff concurs that adequate parking capacity is provided on the existing site for the
proposed use. The existing site contains one space per 200 square feet of net building
square footage. While the City’s standards do not contain specific parking quantity
requirements for service and social organization uses, the parking capacity contains
adequate parking for similar uses such as general and medical office. See FOF 15 Zoning
and Development Standards Compliance: Parking for analysis.
f. Traffic: The use shall ensure safe movement for vehicles and pedestrians and shall
mitigate potential effects on the surrounding area.

CONSEJO CUP FILE NUMBER LUA18-000290,CU-H
Report of July 24, 2018 Page 9 of 10
SR_Consejo_Report_HEX_180724
Staff Comment: The applicant contends the proposal will not generate more vehicular
or pedestrian traffic than the existing general and medical office uses.
Staff concurs that safe movement or vehicles and pedestrians will continue with the
proposed use. The site contains pedestrian access from the abutting sidewalk on SW
10th Street. Two vehicle driveways bookend the subject property and each contain
adequate width for two-way ingress/egress. No new trips would be generated by the
proposal as the proposed use site description closest match in the ITE Trip Generation
Manual is Medical – Dental Office as provided in the applicant transportation analysis
(Exhibit 6). The proposal also passed the City’s Concurrency Test (Exhibit 7) which
considers such factors as the citywide transportation plan and trip capacity within
allowed growth levels.
g. Noise, Light and Glare: Potential noise, light and glare impacts from the proposed
use shall be evaluated and mitigated.
Staff Comment: The applicant contends that no new noise, light, or glare would be
generated by the proposal.
Staff concurs that the proposed use would not generate additional noise impacts to the
surrounding neighborhood. Activities would be held indoors. Exterior noise impacts
would be limited to vehicles arriving and departing the site and short term impacts
related to the tenant improvements. The applicant has not proposed and has not shown
the need for any additional lighting to utilize the existing building.
h. Landscaping: Landscaping shall be provided in all areas not occupied by buildings,
paving, or critical areas. Additional landscaping may be required to buffer adjacent
properties from potentially adverse effects of the proposed use.
Staff Comment: The applicant contends the existing site is adequately landscaped with
healthy mature vegetation that was planted with the initial building construction.
Staff concurs that landscaping currently exists in areas not occupied by buildings or
paving. Street frontage landscaping is provided between the building and SW 10th
Street. internal landscaping is provided via curb bulbs, and mature evergreen trees are
located on the west perimeter. Some frontage landscaping is provided along the slope
between the parking lot and SW Grady Way. The existing landscape screen would not
meet the planting requirements of the current code. However, additional landscaping
would not be needed to buffer adjacent properties from any adverse impacts and the
scope of the proposal does not require compliance with the current landscaping
regulations per FOF 15 Zoning and Development Compliance: Landscaping.
18. Availability and Impact on Public Services:
Compliance Availability and Impact on Public Services Analysis
Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicates that sufficient resources exist
to furnish services to the proposed development; subject to the condition that the
applicant provides Code required improvements and fees.
Storm Water: An adequate drainage system shall be provided for the proper drainage of
all surface water.
Staff Comment: The project does not propose to add or replace any impervious surface,
therefore drainage review is not required.

Subject: Notice of Application for Consejo
Mr. Herrera:
I am writing in support of the application for Consejo
Counseling & Referral Services at 723 SW 10th Street in
Renton. Although I have not personally used their services,
from all I have learned they have a solid track record of making
a difference for youth and families of all culture and in
particular for the Latino community. I recently attended a
presentation made by staff of Renton School District and one of
the priority needs they identified in our immigrant community is
a local mental health resource for teens. Consejo is well
prepared to meet this need and I ask that you give them positive
consideration in opening a center in Renton.
Sincerely,
Benita
