10. The applicant has not proposed any cut or fill on the site.
11. No agency comment letters were received.
12. A public comment letter was received.
13. The proposed project is Categorically Exempt from Environmental (SEPA) Review per WAC 197-111-
800(6)(b)(i).
14. Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and
address issues raised by the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file,
and the essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and
the Departmental Recommendation at the end of this report.
15. Comprehensive Plan Compliance: The site is designated Residential High Density (RHD) on the City’s
Comprehensive Plan Map. The purpose of the RHD designation is to provide land where conditions are
in place for appropriate for a variety of housing unit types, or where there is existing multifamily
development. Conditions include close access to transit service and the efficient use of urban services
and infrastructure. The proposal is compliant with the following development standards if all conditions
of approval are met:
Compliance Comprehensive Plan Analysis
Goal L-BB: Maintain a high quality of life as Renton grows by ensuring that new
development is designed to be functional and attractive.
Compliant if
condition of
approval is
met
Goal L-FF: Strengthen the visual identity of Renton and its Community Planning Areas
and neighborhoods through quality design and development.
Staff Comment: An existing six-foot high fence is located on the along the front of the
property. The fence is significantly deteriorated and very unsightly due to its poor
condition. In addition, the existing fence is out of compliance with the fence standards
in RMC 4-4-040, which limits fences in the front yard setback to four (4’) feet in height.
In order to improve the aesthetics of the property when viewed from the sidewalk or
street, and to bring the site into compliance with the fence standards, staff recommends
as a condition of approval that the applicant remove the existing fence prior to building
permit issuance. The applicant may then choose to either replace the old fence with a
fence compliant with code, or provide no fence at all.
Policy L-56: Preserve natural landforms, vegetation, distinctive stands of trees, natural
slopes, and scenic areas that contribute to the City’s identity, preserve property values,
and visually define the community and neighborhoods.
16. Zoning Development Standard Compliance: The purpose of the Residential-14 Zone (R-14) is to
encourage development, and redevelopment, of residential neighborhoods that provide a mix of
detached and attached dwelling structures organized and designed to combine characteristics of both
typical single-family and small-scale multi-family developments. Structure size is intended to be limited
in terms of bulk and scale so that the various unit types allowed in the zone are compatible with one
another and can be integrated together into a quality neighborhood. Project features are encouraged,
such as yards for private use, common open spaces, and landscaped areas that enhance a neighborhood
and foster a sense of community. Civic and limited commercial uses may be allowed when they support
the purpose of the designation. The proposal is compliant with the following development standards, as
outlined in RMC 4-2-110A, if all conditions of approval are met:

Compliance R-14 Zone Develop Standards and Analysis
Use: The applicant is proposing to operate a religious institution.
Staff Comment: Religious institutions are permitted in the R-14 zoning district subject
to discretionary review and approval of a Conditional Use Permit by the Hearing
Examiner. If the Conditional Use Permit is approved, the proposed use would be allowed
to operate in the subject location.
An Administrative Conditional Use Permit was issued in 2010 (LUA10-036) for the
existing Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on the site. Per the applicant, the ADU is used
as a permanent residence by leaders of the congregation.
Per RMC 4-11-040, an ADU is defined as “an independent subordinate dwelling unit that
is located on the same lot, but not within a single-family dwelling”. If the CUP for the
temple is approved, the primary structure would no longer function as a single-family
dwelling. Therefore, the other dwelling unit would no longer meet the definition of an
ADU and the CUP under LUA10-036 would be void.
N/A
Density: The density range permitted in the R-14 zone is a minimum 7.0 up to a
maximum of 14.0 dwelling units per net acre. Net density is calculated after the
deduction of sensitive areas, areas intended for public right-of-way, and private access
easements.
Staff Comment: Not applicable, no new residential uses are proposed.
Lot Dimensions: The minimum lot size permitted in the R-14 zone is 3,000 sq. ft. for
detached dwellings. There is no minimum lot size for attached dwellings. A minimum
lot width of 30 feet is required (40 feet for corner lots) and a minimum lot depth of 60
feet is required.
Staff Comment: The proposed site is an existing legal lot and meets the minimum lot
size requirement.
Setbacks: The required setbacks in the R-14 zone are as follows: front yard is 15 feet
except when all access is taken from an alley then 10 feet, side yard is 4 feet for
detached units, for attached units the side yard is 0 feet for the attached sides and 4
feet for the unattached sides, secondary front yard (applies to corner lots) is 15 feet,
and the rear yard is 10 feet.
Staff Comment: The proposed temple structure has a front yard setback of
approximately 45 feet, a rear yard setback of approximately 175 feet, and side yard
setbacks of approximately 32 feet on the west side and 84 feet on the east side. The
existing home behind the temple has a front yard setback of approximately 112 feet, a
rear yard setback of approximately 87 feet, and side yard setbacks of approximately 7
feet on the west side and 134 feet on the east side. Therefore, the existing buildings are
in compliance with the R-14 setback standards.
Building Standards: The R-14 zone has a maximum building coverage of 65% and a
maximum impervious surface coverage of 80%. In the R-14 zone, a maximum building
height of 3 stories with a wall plate height of 24 feet is permitted. Roofs with a pitch
equal to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six (6) vertical feet from the
maximum wall plate height. If the height of wall plates on a building are less than the
states maximum the roof may project higher to account for the difference, yet the
combined height of both features shall not exceed the combined maximums. Common
rooftop features, such as chimneys, may project an additional four (4) vertical feet from
City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Hearing Examiner Recommendation
BO DE MONASTERY CUP LUA18-000372
Report of July 31st, 2018 Page 6 of 11
SR_HEX_Report_Bo De Monastery CUP_wExhibits_180731
the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical projections (e.g., roofs pitched less than 4:12,
decks, railings, etc.) may extend up to six (6) vertical feet above the maximum wall
plate height if the projection is stepped back one-and-a-half (1.5) horizontal feet from
each minimum building setback line for each one (1) vertical foot above the maximum
wall plate height.
Wall plates supporting a primary roof surface that has only one (1) sloping plane (e.g.,
shed roof) may exceed the stated maximum if the average of wall plate heights is equal
or less than the maximum wall plate height allowed.
Staff Comment: The applicant is only proposing tenant improvements for the temple
structure and is not proposing any changes to the exterior of the buildings on the site.
The structures are both two stories in height and have a wall plate height of
approximately 22 feet. The total building coverage is 8.4% and the total impervious
surface is approximately 63%. Therefore, the structures are compliant with the building
standards for the R-14 zone.
N/A
Maximum Number of Units per Building: In the R-14 zone, no more than 6 units per
building are permitted.
Staff Comment: Not applicable, no residential uses are proposed.
Compliant if
condition of
approval is
met
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.
Where there is insufficient right-of-way space or no public frontage, street trees are
required in the front yard subject to approval of the Administrator. A minimum of two
trees are to be located in the front yard prior to final inspection for the new Single-
Family Residence.
Surface parking lots with more than fourteen (14) stalls shall be landscaped as follows:
Surface parking lots with between 15 and 50 spaces shall provide 15 sf of landscaping
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 landscape standards in RMC 4-6-060 are applicable for projects
involving the conversion of a residential use to a non-residential use. The existing
landscaping shown on the landscape plan submitted by the applicant (Exhibit 4) does
not meet the requirements of the landscaping code due to a lack of ground cover across
a large portion of the site. In order to ensure compliance with RMC 4-6-060, staff
recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant submit a revised landscape
plan to the Current Planning Project Manager for approval prior to building permit
issuance.
Tree Retention: The City’s adopted Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations (4-4-
130) require the retention of 20 percent of trees in a residential development.
City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Hearing Examiner Recommendation
BO DE MONASTERY CUP LUA18-000372
Report of July 31st, 2018 Page 7 of 11
SR_HEX_Report_Bo De Monastery CUP_wExhibits_180731
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.
A minimum tree density shall be maintained on each residentially zoned lot. Lots
developed with detached single-family dwelling units in the R-14 zone are exempt from
the minimum tree density requirements. For multi-family development, the minimum
tree density is four (4) significant trees for every five thousand (5,000) square feet. The
tree density may consist of existing trees, replacement trees, trees required pursuant
to RMC 4-4-070F.1, Street Frontage Landscaping Required, or a combination.
Staff Comment: The applicant has proposed the removal of one (1) of the approximately
16 trees located on the site, resulting in a tree retention rate of 94%. The site, developed
with a single-family dwelling, is exempt from the minimum tree density requirements.
Therefore, the proposal is in compliance with the Tree Retention and Land Clearing
Regulations.
Compliant if
condition of
approval is
met
Parking: Parking regulations require that a minimum of one for every 5 seats in the
main auditorium is provided, and in no case shall there be less than 10 spaces in total.
For detached single-family residential uses, a minimum of two on-site spaces is
required.
Driveway cuts are required to be a minimum of 5 feet from property lines and new
driveways may be a maximum of 16 feet in width at the property line. Maximum
driveway slopes shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%); provided, that driveways
exceeding eight percent (8%) shall provide slotted drains at the lower end with positive
drainage discharge to restrict runoff from entering the garage/residence or crossing
any public sidewalk.
Staff Comment: An existing gravel parking lot on the north side of the site is currently
utilized for parking by members of the temple. An analysis of the parking based on the
religious institution parking requirements also finds that adequate parking exists.
According to the applicant, the proposed church has a total of 50 members. According
to the parking standards in RMC 4-4-080, religious institutions are required to have a
minimum and maximum of one parking space per five seats. The proposed use would
therefore be required to have ten (10) parking spaces in order to satisfy the parking
requirement. Therefore, the 10 spaces proposed by the applicant is in compliance with
parking requirements per RMC 4-4-080.
The applicant did not indicate on the application the type of material proposed for the
parking lot. According to the parking standards in RMC 4-4-080, all off-street parking
areas are required to be paved with asphaltic concrete, cement, or equivalent
alternative material of a permanent nature. In order to ensure compliance with the
City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Hearing Examiner Recommendation
BO DE MONASTERY CUP LUA18-000372
Report of July 31st, 2018 Page 8 of 11

parking standards, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant pave
of the parking area indicated on the parking plan (Exhibit 3) by August 1st, 2019.
The existing driveway cuts are located approximately five (5’) feet from the each
property line.
Compliant if
condition of
approval is
met under
FOF 15
Fences and Retaining Walls: In any residential district, the maximum height of any
fence, hedge or retaining wall shall be seventy two inches (72"). Except in the front
yard and side yard along a street setback where the fence shall not exceed forty eight
inches (48") in height.
There shall be a minimum three-foot (3') landscaped setback at the base of retaining
walls abutting public rights-of-way.
Staff Comment: See FOF 15 under “Goal L-FF”.
17. Design Standards: Residential Design and Open Space Standards (RMC 4-2-115) are applicable in the R-
14 zone for new dwelling units. No new dwelling units are being created and therefore the design
standards are not applicable to the project.
18. Conditional Use Analysis: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to operate a religious
institution in the Residential-14 du/ac (R-14) zoning district. 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 15 and FOF 16 for Comprehensive Plan and zoning regulation
compliance, respectively.
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 proposed site for the religious institution is located along SE
Petrovitsky – an auto-oriented major arterial with a variety of commercial, residential,
and institutional uses located along the road. No other religious institutions are present
in the immediate vicinity of the proposed use and therefore the location of the proposed
use would not result in an overconcentration of the religious institutions in the area.
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 surrounding uses include multi-family and single-family residential.
The proposed use would be located on a large lot with the closest residential use located
approximately 100 feet from the temple, where service would be held indoors. With
primarily weekend services and events, the proposed use is not expected to create
traffic, noise, or other negative impacts on the surrounding properties. Therefore, the
proposed use would not result in significant adverse effects on adjacent properties.
d. Compatibility: The proposed use shall be compatible with the scale and character
of the neighborhood.

BO DE MONASTERY CUP LUA18-000372
Report of July 31st, 2018 Page 9 of 11
SR_HEX_Report_Bo De Monastery CUP_wExhibits_180731
Staff Comment: The small church would be located in a structure originally designed as
a single-family home, a similar type of building as many of the neighboring properties.
Religious institutions can be found in a wide variety of neighborhoods and zoning
districts in Renton, including low intensity residential areas. Therefore, the proposed use
would not be out of place in a primarily residential neighborhood.
e. Parking: Adequate parking is, or will be made, available.
Staff Comment: See FOF 14 under “Parking”
f. Traffic: The use shall ensure safe movement for vehicles and pedestrians and shall
mitigate potential effects on the surrounding area.
Staff Comment: Pedestrians can take access via existing sidewalks on SE Petrovitsky.
The applicant has proposed allowing ingress into the site via the eastern entrance and
egress from the site via the western entrance in order to decrease potential
vehicular/pedestrian conflicts. Due to the fact that access to the site would be via a busy
major arterial and that the services would primarily be held on Sunday, the increased
traffic from the temple is not expected to have a significant impact on neighboring
properties.
g. Noise, Light and Glare: Potential noise, light and glare impacts from the proposed
use shall be evaluated and mitigated.
Staff Comment: Services would be held indoors and are not expected to generate any
noise, light, or glare impacts outside of those typical along a large, major arterial street.
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: See FOF 16 under “Landscaping”. The existing landscaping along the
perimeter of the site is anticipated to be sufficient to screen any adverse effects create
by the proposed use.
19. 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, if all conditions
of approval are complied with:
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. A standard 15-foot building setback is required for all
structures from Protected Slope areas.
A 50-foot buffer and 15-foot building setback are required from Very High Landslide
Hazard Areas.
Staff Comment: A Sensitive Slope Area was mapped near the northeast corner of the
project site. No work is proposed within 100 feet of the sensitive slope.
20. 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. Fire impact fees are

applicable at the rate of $0.56 per square foot. This fee is paid at time of building permit
issuance.
Storm Water: An adequate drainage system shall be provided for the proper drainage
of all surface water.
Staff Comment: The applicant has not proposed any increases in building coverage or
impervious on the site. Therefore Development Engineering staff have determined that
the existing drainage system is adequate for existing conditions. When the permit
application for the parking lot paving is submitted, drainage on the site would be
reviewed again by staff.
Water: Water to the site is provided by the City of Renton.
Staff Comment: The Renton Fire Authority and Development Engineering staff have
indicated that the water service available on the site is adequate for the proposed use.
Sanitary Sewer: Sanitary Sewer Service is provided to the site by the Soos Creek Water
and Sewer District.
I. CONCLUSIONS:
1. The subject site is located in the Residential High Density Comprehensive Plan designation and complies
with the goals and policies established with this designation provided the applicant complies with City
Code and conditions of approval see FOF 15.
2. The subject site is located in the Residential-14 du/ac (R-14) zoning designation and complies with the
zoning and development standards established with this designation provided the applicant complies
with City Code and conditions of approval, see FOF 16.
3. The existing ADU on-site approved in 2010 would no longer be classified as an ADU once a conversion
of the primary residence to a temple is complete. The dwelling unit would continue to be used as a
residence for leaders of the congregation.
4. The proposed change-of-use is exempt from the Residential Design and Open Space standards as it
does not create any new units, see FOF 17.
5. The proposed Conditional Use complies with the Conditional Use Permit criteria as established by City
Code provided the applicant complies with all advisory notes and City Code, see FOF 18.
6. The proposed Conditional Use Permit complies with the Critical Areas Regulations provided the
applicant complies with City Code, see FOF 19.
7. There are adequate public services and facilities to accommodate the proposed religious institution,
see FOF 20.
