A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials: Issue a DNS with a 14-day Appeal Period. B. Mitigation Measures No mitigation measures are recommended. C. Exhibits Exhibit 1 Environmental Review Committee (ERC) Report Exhibit 2 Neighborhood Detail Map Exhibit 3 Site Plan Exhibit 4 Floor Plan Exhibit 5 Project Narrative Exhibit 6 Conditional Use Permit Justification Exhibit 7 Advisory Notes D. Environmental Impacts The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable impacts: 1. Earth Impacts: Protected and sensitive slopes are mapped on the project site. No expansion of the building footprint (Exhibits 3) is proposed and all improvements are internal and limited to the individual tenant space (Exhibit 4); therefore, the applicant was not required to submit a geotechnical report with the formal land use application. It is anticipated that the City’s currently adopted building codes would adequately mitigate for any impacts that could result from the proposed tenant improvements; therefore, no further mitigation is recommended. Mitigation Measures: None recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. 2. Noise Impacts: There may be some temporary noise impacts resulting from typical construction activities associated with the proposed tenant improvements; however, these impacts are anticipated to be short term in nature. No long term noise impacts are anticipated as the proposed change of use from the previous health and fitness club to the proposed church. Mitigation Measures: None recommended. Nexus: Not applicable 3. Transportation Impacts: The unit space for the proposed church is approximately 949 square feet. The applicant proposes services on Sunday, between 11:00am and 12:30pm. The church will maintain regular operating hours between 9:00am and 3:30pm during the week. There is anticipated to be a total of 25 attendees for the DocuSign Envelope ID: E90ED73E-2A24-4AFE-90C0-83C1D613F5E1 City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Environmental Review Committee Report DUNLAP BIBLE FELLOWSHIP LUA18-000423, ECF, CU-H Report of July 23, 2018 Page 3 of 3 ERC REPORT LUA18-000423 church. Based on the ITE Manual, the average trip rate for a church during peak Sunday hours (per 1,000 square feet) is 9.99. The average trip rate during peak Saturday hours is 2.78, and the average trip rate during PM peak weekday hours is 0.80. A traffic impact analysis is required when the estimated vehicular traffic generated from a proposed development exceeds 20 vehicles per hour in either the AM (6:00 – 9:00) or PM (3:00 – 6:00) peak periods. Since the average trip rate for a church (under 1,000 square feet) is less than 20 vehicles per hour, a traffic impact analysis is not required. The existing development contains 24 parking spaces that provide off-street vehicle parking for the three tenants of the subject property. Units 1 and 3 are occupied by office uses. The net floor area of the two office uses was not provided by the applicant; however, the gross floor area of the two units is approximately 3,192 square feet. The gross floor area calculation would result in a minimum of 6 parking spaces and a maximum of 14 parking spaces for the two (2) office uses combined. The proposed church will have a total of 25 attendees, and will require a minimum and maximum of 5 parking spaces. The existing 24 space parking lot, with the existing and proposed uses, would exceed code requirements for off-street vehicle parking accommodations. The proposed project would be responsible for the payment of Transportation Impact Fees at the applicable rate at the time of building permit issuance for the new use less any impact fee previously paid for the land use category of the prior use. In addition, the project will be reviewed for Transportation Concurrency and a finding will be made at the time of public hearing. It is anticipated that code required impact fees would adequately mitigate transportation impacts for the proposed change of use and the existing 24 parking spaces would provide adequate off-street parking for development; therefore, no further mitigation is recommended. Mitigation Measures: None recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. E. Comments of Reviewing Departments The proposal has been circulated to City Department and Division Reviewers. Where applicable, their comments have been incorporated into the text of this report and/or “Advisory Notes to Applicant.”  Copies of all Review Comments are contained in the Official File and may be attached to this report. The Environmental Determination decision will become final if the decision is not appealed within the 14-day appeal period (RCW 43.21.C.075(3); WAC 197-11-680). Environmental Determination Appeal Process: Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in writing together with the required fee to: Hearing Examiner, City of Renton, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057, on or before 5:00 p.m. on August 10, 2018.

No plumbing changes are proposed. No changes requiring additional water requirements are proposed. No fire hydrant is proposed. There is already a fully functioning sprinkler system. SEWER The information provided with the land use application stated that the project proposes mostly cosmetic improvements to existing building. No commercial kitchen is proposed. No changes to sewer service is proposed. STORMWATER The information provided with the land use application stated that the project proposes mostly cosmetic improvements to existing building. No changes to existing impervious area is proposed. No elements triggering drainage review is proposed. TRANSPORTATION 1. The project consists mostly of cosmetic improvements to existing building. The renovation cost is less than $150,000, which as per RMC 4-6-060 exempts the project from frontage requirements. 2. The information provided with the land use application did not show that 20 or more new peak hour trips will be generated by the project in either the AM peak or PM peak. The information provided by the applicant mentioned that the Sunday service is expected to generate 10 trips. Therefore, a traffic impact analysis was not required from the project. 3. Paving and trench restoration shall comply with the City’s Trench Restoration and Overlay Requirements.

For redevelopment project the fee is based on the change in use and the square feet of the building. Calculations using the current fee rate does not show that transportation impact fee will be required since the amount calculated for the office use (current fee rate of $7.29 per square feet) is greater than the amount calculated with the church use (current rate of $2.68 per square feet). However, the rates that are current at the time of building permit will be used to calculate the impact fee at the time of building permit and if applicable the impact fee will be assessed at that time. Any applicable fee will be assessed at that time. The transportation impact fee that is current at the time of building permit application will be levied.
