Re: City of Renton Local Permit LUA17-000810 —Approved
WSDOT/1405 Team — Applicant
Approved Shoreline Substantial Development Permit (SDP) #2018-NW4299
Dear Ms. Cooley:
On July 30, 2018, we received notice that the City of Renton conditionally approved your
application for a SDP. Your permit is for roadway, bridge, and trail realignment work as part of
the I-405 Tukwila to Renton Improvement Project, Stage 3. The west side of the southbound I-
105 lanes north of SR 169 would be widened to accommodate an additional lane in each
direction. Construction work is anticipated to start in 2019, and the project is expected to open to
traffic in 2024. The project would use the design -build project delivery method. Disturbed areas
would be restored onsite as much as feasible; however, up to 6,000 square feet of total riparian
impacts would be mitigated offsite at Ron Regis Park in Renton as potential Cedar River buffer
enhancements. The project is located within the Shoreline High Intensity and Shoreline Urban
Conservancy environment designations of the Cedar River, a shoreline of statewide significance.
By law, local governments must review all SDPs for compliance with:
• The Shoreline Management Act (Chapter 90.58 RCW).
• Ecology's SDP approval criteria (Chapter 173-27-150 WAC).
• The Local Shoreline Master Program.
Local governments, after reviewing SDPs for complian
ce, are required to submit them to
Ecology. We have received your approved SDP.
Please note, however, that other federal, state, and local permits may be required in
addition to this shoreline permit.
