(0423059237) is 65,340 square feet (1.5 acres) and is developed with an existing church
and paved parking areas. The east parcel (0423059307) is 43,560 square feet (1 acre)
and is partially developed with paved and gravel parking. The proposed project includes
parking lot expansions, a building addition to the existing church sanctuary, and
stormwater infrastructure construction within the two parcels. The existing church is
currently 17,211 square feet. The church sanctuary addition will increase the building
size to 18,961 square feet. The site currently has 99 parking stalls. The applicant proposes
to add an additional 77 stalls, for a total of 176 parking stalls. The stormwater
management improvements for the site include permeable pavements, shallow rain
gardens, or bioswales near the parking lots. Current access for the site is via two existing
curb cuts off of NE 21st St. No critical areas are mapped on the project site. No tree
removal is proposed with the project application. The applicant submitted a
Geotechnical Report, Technical Information Report, and Traffic Impact Analysis with the

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those project impacts
that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations.
A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation
Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials:
Issue a DNS-M with a 14-day Appeal Period.
B. Mitigation Measures
1. The applicant shall provide one (1) street light within the abutting street frontage of the property that is
consistent with the street lighting standards of RMC 4-6-060I at the time of construction permit
application.

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. Storm Water
Impacts: The applicant submitted a preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR) prepared by Anstey
Engineering with the Land Use Application, dated January 5, 2018, and later revised on October 30, 2018
(Exhibit 4). Based on the City of Renton’s flow control map, the site falls under Flow Control Duration
Standards (Forested Site Conditions) and is located within the May Creek drainage basin. The
development is subject to a Full Drainage Review in accordance with the 2017 Renton Surface Water
Design Manual (RSWDM). All nine core requirements and the six special requirements have been
discussed in the updated Technical Information Report.
The detention, water quality and conveyance proposed in the current TIR is not consistent with the
requirements of the RSWDM. The applicant proposes a detention system to meet the flow control
requirements of the project. An Enhanced basic water quality feature that meets the requirements of
RSWDM is required to be provided for the proposed project. The water quality facility proposed in the
current TIR does not meet the requirements of the RSWDM, and will therefore need to be changed to one
approved in the manual to meet Enhanced basic water quality. In addition, the on-site Best Management
Practices (BMPs) proposed in the current TIR do not meet the requirements of the RSWDM. Therefore,
on-site BMPs meeting the requirements of the RSWDM are required to be provided for the project. The

LUA18-000253, ECF, CU-H
Report of January 28, 2019 Page 3 of 4
SR_ERC Report_FUPC_190128
on-site BMPs will be evaluated in order of preference by feasibility as described in Section C.1.3 of the
2017 RSWDM.
The applicant will be required to submit a final TIR and drainage plan that includes all the details of the
Flow Control facility analysis, water quality analysis, on-site BMP analysis, and conveyance analysis in
compliance with the requirements of RSWDM, for review and approval by Development Engineering and
the Current Planning Project Manager at the time of construction permit application.
A Geotechnical Report prepared by Cobalt Geosciences, dated January 19, 2018, was submitted with the
project application. The applicant shall submit a revised Geotechnical Report that is consistent with the
revised TIR and includes the measured infiltration rate and the design infiltration rate for review of the
on-site BMPs as required by the RSWDM.
It is anticipated that the City’s currently adopted 2017 City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual would
mitigate for any potential surface water impacts that could be generated by the project proposal,
therefore no further mitigation is recommended at this time.
Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation required.
Nexus: Not applicable.
2. Noise
Impacts: There may be some temporary noise impacts resulting from typical construction activities
associated with the proposed expansion improvements, however these impacts are anticipated to be
short term in nature. No long term noise impacts are anticipated as no change of use is proposed with the
development.
Mitigation Measures: None recommended.
Nexus: Not applicable.
3. Transportation
Impacts: The site currently has 99 parking stalls. The applicant proposes to add an additional 77 stalls, for
a total of 176 parking stalls. For religious institutions, the regulations require a minimum and maximum
of 1 for every 5 seats in the main auditorium. Religious institutions seating capacity outside of the
auditorium is subject to “outdoor and indoor sports arenas, auditoriums, stadiums, movie theaters, and
entertainment clubs” uses, which requires a minimum and maximum of 1 for every 4 fixed seats. The
applicant is proposing a total of 432 seats within the sanctuary, which would require a total of 86 parking
stalls. There are a total of 220 seats outside of the sanctuary within the banquet and meeting rooms,
which requires a total of 55 parking spaces. The minimum and maximum number of parking stalls required
by the development is 141 parking spaces. The applicant’s proposal exceeds parking requirements.
Additional parking analysis will be conducted and provided within the staff report to the Hearing
Examiner.
A Traffic Impact Analysis, prepared by Heath & Associates, Inc., dated March of 2018, was submitted with
the project application (Exhibit 6). The primary access to the site via NE 21st Street would be maintained
with an inbound driveway and an outbound driveway as currently designed. The church currently has a
one Sunday morning service and a more lightly attended Sunday evening service. The report states that
the Sunday peak period was targeted for analysis purposes since it generally represents the worst case
scenario with respect to traffic conditions for this church. The report concludes that the proposed church
addition and parking expansion will be a moderate generator of new trips in the area with roughly 47
additional total daily trips expected to be generated on a typical Sunday, with 18 of those trips occurring
during the Sunday peak hour. 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. The proposed church expansion project does not generate 20 new peak

Report of January 28, 2019 Page 4 of 4
SR_ERC Report_FUPC_190128
hour trips in the morning or evening peak periods. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the project will
generate traffic that causes significant impacts on the roadway system.
Development Engineering staff have reviewed the provided Traffic Impact Analysis and concur that the
traffic impacts would not be significant within the AM and PM peak times and conclude that the
construction of modified frontage improvements along NE 21st ST and the payment of transportation
impact fees would provide adequate mitigation for traffic; however, staff does have concerns regarding
pedestrian safety without the presence of adequate street lighting. The nearest street light is more than
70 feet away from the project site. Per RMC 4-6-060F.1, no street lighting is required for commercial
projects that are five thousand (5,000) square feet or less. Therefore, the proposed 1,750 square foot
addition is exempt from street lighting requirements; however the square footage of the existing building
is 17,211 square feet and the proposed addition will increase the structure to 18,961 square, which is
nearly four times the threshold of 5,000 square feet for the requirement of street lighting. Staff believes
that the absence of adequate street lighting, as well as the increase in building capacity and associated
pedestrian and vehicle trips, creates potential hazards for pedestrians walking along NE 21st Street.
Furthermore, there is a Sunday evening services where one would expect vehicle trips to and from this
service to be in the dark during most of the year. The amount of vehicle trips crossing the sidewalk and
entering the travel way would exceed the trips associated with a 5,000 square foot building creating a
need for safety measures such as street lighting as envisioned by the code. Therefore, staff recommend
as a mitigation measure that the applicant provide one (1) street light within the abutting street frontage
of the property that is consistent with the street lighting standards of RMC 4-6-060I at the time of
construction permit application.
Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall provide one (1) street light within the abutting street frontage
of the property that is consistent with the street lighting standards of RMC 4-6-060I at the time of
construction permit application.
Nexus: SEPA Environmental Regulations; RMC 4-6-060 Street Standards.

Streets NE 21st Street is a Residential Street with an existing right of way (ROW) width of approximately
30 feet in the site frontage as measured using the King County Assessor’s Map. Current street
frontage improvements include curb but no sidewalk in the site frontage.
WATER COMMENTS
1. The site is served by existing a 2 inch domestic water meter and ¾” water meter. Any
redevelopment of the site should make sure that the water meters are relocated to the
landscape strip.
2. Based on the information provided by the Renton Fire Authority (RFA), the fire flow demand for
the project is 2,250 gpm. This requires three fire hydrants. RFA also requires an approved fire
sprinkler shall be extended throughout the new and existing building. The following developer
installed water utility improvements are required to provide domestic and fire protection
service to the development.
3. Installation of a fire sprinkler stub with a detector double check valve assembly (DDCVA) for
backflow prevention is required to each building. The fire sprinkler stub and related piping shall
be done by a registered fire sprinkler designer/contractor. The DDCVA shall be installed on the
private property in an outside underground vault per City standard plan no. 360.2. The DDCVA
may be installed inside the building if it meets the conditions as shown on City’s standard plan
360.5 for the installation of a DDCVA inside a building. The location of the DDCVA inside the
building must be pre-approved by the City Plan Reviewer and Water Utility.
4. The fire department connection (FDC) shall be within 50’ of a fire hydrant or in a location
approved by the Renton Regional Fire Authority. A post indicator valve (PIV) per City standards
is required on the fire line. The fire sprinkler stub and appurtenance shall be sized by a
registered fire sprinkler designer / contractor.
5.Staff recommends as a condition of approval that an approximate 70 feet long 8 inch diameter
water main extension should be provided to have the Fire Port Connection (FPC) within 50
feet of the hydrant. Or an alternate layout with the Double Detector Check Valve Assembly
(DDCVA) in the landscape planter outside the building which is located within 50 feet of the
fire hydrant is required and shown in the construction permit plans. Please see the snipshot
below that outlines the required changes. A 15 feet wide easement is required for any public
water main extension constructed outside the right of way.

6. Installation of a with a backflow prevention assembly is required on private property behind the
domestic water meter. A reduced-pressure principle backflow prevention assembly (RPBA) is
required for water meters for retail, commercial use. The RPBA shall be installed inside an
above-ground heated enclosure per City standard plan no. 350.2. The RPBA may be located
inside the building if a drainage outlet for the relief valve is provided and the location is pre-
approved by the City Plan Reviewer and City Water Utility Department.
7. A new hydrant should be located in the landscape area on the NE 21st Street frontage
connecting to the 8-inch water main on NE 21st Street. The number, and location of hydrants
shall meet the requirements of the Renton Fire Authority.
8. Installation of a landscape irrigation meter and double check valve assembly (DCVA) is required,
if the landscaping requires irrigation.
9. Any development or redevelopment (expansion) project is subject to applicable water system
development charges (SDC’s) and meter installation fees based on the number and size of new
First Unitarian Pentecostal Church – LUA18-000253

or resized meters for domestic uses, irrigation uses and for fire sprinkler use. Current plans do
not show any new or upsized meter. The 2019 SDC fee for a 2 inch water meter is $32,400.
Any development or redevelopment (expansion) project is also subject to fees for water
connections, cut and caps, and purity tests. Current fees can be found on the City’s website.
Fees that are current will be charged at the time of construction permit issuance.
10.Civil plans for the water main improvements will be required and must be prepared by a
professional engineer registered in the State of Washington. Please refer to City of Renton
General Design and Construction Standards for Water Main Extensions as shown in Appendix J
of the City’s 2012 Water System Plan. Adequate horizontal and vertical separations between
the new water main and other utilities (storm sewer pipes and vaults, sanitary sewer, power,
gas, electrical) shall be provided for the operation and maintenance of the water main.
Retaining walls, rockeries or similar structures cannot be installed over the water main unless
the water main is installed inside a steel casing.
SEWER COMMENTS
1. The current plans do not show any change in the side sewer service to the building.
2. The current plans do not show any change in domestic water meter serving the site. If future
changes are proposed then, a system development charge (SDC) fee for sewer will be assessed
based on the size of new or resized domestic water to serve the project. In addition, if there is
any change in domestic water meter, the SDC based on the size of the new/or resized water
meter fee for sewer will be applicable, with the fee that is current at the time of issuance of the
construction permit. The 2019 sewer fee for a 2-inch meter is $24,800.
3. The East Renton sewer Interceptor Special Assessment District (SAD) fee is applicable for the site
if there is any new or increased size domestic water meter. The current plans do not show any
new or increased size domestic water meter for the project. However, if there is any change in
the project that results in new or increased size domestic water meter, then the East Renton
sewer Interceptor Special Assessment District (SAD) fee will be applicable to the project. The
current rate of the East Renton sewer Interceptor SAD fee for a 2 inch meter is $2,534.4.
STORM DRAINAGE COMMENTS
1.A preliminary Drainage Plan and Technical Information Report (TIR), dated October 30, 2018,
was submitted by Anstey Engineering with the Land Use Application. Based on the City of
Renton’s flow control map, the site falls under Flow Control Duration Standards (Forested Site
Conditions) and is located within the May Creek drainage basin. The development is subject to a
Full Drainage Review in accordance with the 2017 Renton Surface Water Design Manual
(RSWDM). All nine core requirements and the six special requirements have been discussed in
the Technical Information Report. The detention, water quality and conveyance shall be
designed in accordance with the RSWDM that is current at the time of the civil construction
permit application. A final Technical Information Report (TIR) and drainage plan based on all
the requirements of the RSWDM will be required to be provided with the construction permit
application.
The applicant proposes a detention system to meet the flow control requirements of the
project. Enhanced basic water quality feature that meets the requirements of RSWDM is
First Unitarian Pentecostal Church – LUA18-000253

required to be provided for the project. The water quality facility proposed in the current TIR
will need to be changed to one approved in the manual to meet Enhanced basic water quality.
On site BMPs meeting the requirements of RSWDM is required to be provided for the project.
On-site BMPs shall be evaluated in order of preference by feasibility as described in Section
C.1.3 of the 2017 RSWDM. The geotechnical report submitted with the construction permit
application should include the measured infiltration rate and the design infiltration rate for the
review of the on-site BMP. An easement will be required for any project related stormwater
element that is proposed in adjacent parcel. The final TIR submitted with the construction
permit should include all the details of the Flow Control facility analysis, water quality
analysis, on-site BMP analysis, and conveyance analysis that meets the requirements of
RSWDM.
2. The development is subject to a system development charge (SDC) for stormwater. The 2019
SDC for stormwater is $0.720 per square foot of new impervious surface area, but not less than
$1,800. The fee that is current at the time of construction permit issuance will be applicable on
the project.
TRANSPORTATION/STREET COMMENTS
1. Transportation impact fee is applicable on projects at time of building permit and the fee that is
current at the time of building permit is applicable. The 2019 transportation impact fee for a
church expansion project is $ 3.86 per square foot of increased building square feet. Therefore,
the preliminary assessment of the 2019 Transportation impact fee for a 1,689 square foot
increase in church building is $6,519.54. Payment of Transportation impact fees is due at the
time of building permit issuance. If the square footage of the building changes, the assessed fee
will be adjusted accordingly.
2. The proposed development fronts NE 21st Street along the north property line of 3811 NE 21st
Street. NE 21st Street is a Residential Street. Existing right-of-way (ROW) width is approximately
30 feet subject to final survey. To meet the City’s complete street standards for Residential Street
the required minimum ROW is 53 feet, which will include a ROW dedication of 23 feet width. RMC
4-6-060 includes a minimum pavement layer thickness of 4 inches of HMA and 6 inches of crushed
rock on residential streets
The applicant has submitted a street modification request for the following:
o To provide the curb at the site frontage match the existing curb located at the east of the site-
Staff response: Eventhough aligning the new curb with the existing curb east of the site will
result in a pavement width of about 25 feet, which is less than the 26 feet width required in
RMC 4-6-060, considering the traffic calming aspect along the street, Transportation section
has recommended the curb aligned with the existing curb east of the site. Therefore, staff
supports the modification request to keep the curb aligned with the existing curb east of the
site.
o To allow the sidewalk be located adjacent to the curb eliminating the 8 feet wide landscaped
planter between the curb and sidewalk -
Staff response: Staff cannot support the modification request to eliminate the 8 feet wide
planter between the curb and 5 feet wide sidewalk. An 8 feet wide landscaped planter is
required between the 0.5 feet wide curb and the 5 feet wide sidewalk as there is not sufficient
justification to eliminate the planter strip within this area. The 8 feet wide planter provides a
First Unitarian Pentecostal Church – LUA18-000253
Page 6 of 6

safety buffer between the traffic in the street and the pedestrians using the sidewalk. The 8
feet wide planter also provide area for the required landscaping.
o To reduce the 23 feet wide ROW dedication-
Staff response: Considering the aspects that the curb is proposed to be aligned with the
existing curb on the east of the side and that the King County Assessor map shows that the
adjacent east parcels on the south side of the ROW have a ROW dedication of approximately
20 feet, staff can support an approximate 20 feet wide ROW dedication, which will align the
ROW line in front of the site with the existing ROW line east of the site provided that all
required frontage improvements are located within the ROW.
Therefore, staff recommends a full pavement width of about 25 feet (subject to final survey)
which is a reduction from 26 feet width to allow for the traffic calming, gutter, 0.5 feet wide
curb located in line with the existing curb on the east of the site, 8 feet wide landscaped
planter adjacent to curb, 5 feet wide sidewalk, drainage improvements, and ROW dedication
of approximately 20 feet (subject to final survey). . All the half street frontage improvements
and ROW dedication is required to be provided by the project. To provide a durable
permanent sidewalk on the corridor connecting with the existing concrete sidewalk east of
the site, staff recommends adding a condition of approval that an approximate 15 feet long
portion of the existing asphalt sidewalk located east of the site that the new frontage
improvements will tie to should also be replaced with concrete sidewalk that meets City
standards.
3. The site driveways shall be as per city of Renton Standard Plan 104.4 i.e. the Cement concrete
driveway entrance – Types C1B, C2B, C 3B, and C-MaxB (with Buffer)
4. The Church expansion project does not generate 20 new peak hour trips in the morning or evening
peak periods. Therefore, a traffic impact analysis is not required. A traffic analysis was prepared
by Heath & Associates Inc. that discussed the Sunday trips generated by the church. The project
will not generate traffic that causes significant impacts on the roadway system.
5. This church expansion project is exempt from street lighting in the frontage since the proposed
increase in building square feet is less than 5,000.
6. Paving and trench restoration within the City of Renton right of way shall comply with the City’s
Street Restoration and Overlay requirements.
GENERAL COMMENTS
1. Any retaining walls that are 4’ or taller from bottom of footing and any stormwater vault will
require a separate building permit. Structural calculations and plans prepared by a licensed
engineer will be required as part of the building permit review.
2. All civil plans shall conform to the current City of Renton survey and drafting standards. Current
drafting standards can be found on the City of Renton website.
3. A separate plan submittal will be required for a construction permit for utility work and street
improvements. All plans shall be prepared by a licensed Civil Engineer in the State of Washington.

MEMORANDUM
_____________________________________________________________________________
DATE:January 24, 2019
TO:Angelea Weihs, Associate Planner
FROM:Corey Thomas, Lead Plans Review Inspector
SUBJECT:Comments for FUPC_____________________________________________________________________________
Environmental Impact Comments:
1. Fire impact fees are applicable at the rate of $0.56 per square foot of additional
commercial space. This fee is paid at time of building permit issuance. Credit will be
granted to the area of the building removed.
Code Related Comments:
1. The preliminary fire flow is 2,250 gpm. This requires three fire hydrants. One within
150-feet and two within 300-feet of the proposed building. One hydrant is required
within 50-feet of the fire department connection for the fire sprinkler system. A
minimum of one new fire hydrant shall be added. It appears adequate fire flow is
available in this area. No conceptual utility plans have been provided to show the
requirements of two new fire hydrants are being meet.
2. An approved fire sprinkler and fire alarm system shall be extended throughout the new and existing building. Separate plans and permits required by the fire department. Fire alarm system shall be fully automatic and fully addressable. Existing kitchen hood fire suppression system shall be monitored by the new fire alarm system.
3. The existing fire department apparatus access on-site roadways shall be modified to meet current fire code. Fire department apparatus access roadways are required within 150-feet of all points on the building. Fire lane signage required for the on site roadway. Required turning radius are 25-feet inside and 45-feet outside. Roadways shall be a minimum of 20-feet wide. Roadways shall support a minimum of a 30-ton vehicle and 75-psi point loading. Verification shall be made that the existing Click 2 Enter gate has been updated to the latest fire department radio frequency. On site access roadways do not meet the required turning radius as discussed above. Meeting the required turning radius will most likely eliminate proposed parking stalls.
