NON-SIGNIFICANCE (DNS)
PROJECT NUMBER: LUA18-000400, ECF
APPLICANT: City of Renton
PROJECT NAME: 2018 Docket #13, Group B
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Variance Procedures: Update variance procedures to provide the Community and
Economic Development Administrator with the authority to grant variances from certain development regulations,
consistent between residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. This docket item aims to expand the Administrator’s
authority to grant relief from a number of development standards under Title IV: specifically, variances for setbacks, lot
coverage, lot width, lot depth, allowed projections into setbacks, and building height for commercial and industrial land
uses.
Short Plat/Formal Plat Streamline Process: Short Plat/Formal Plat Streamline Process - Procedural changes for short plats
and formal plats. Specifically, amendments to code for completion requirements and expiration periods, specifying the
number of permitted requests for additional time extensions that can be granted by the Hearing Examiner, and minor
corrections to Code that would correct punctuation and update language to be consistent with other sections of Code.
PROJECT LOCATION: All docket items are citywide
LEAD AGENCY: City of Renton
Environmental Review Committee
