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 residential uses are proposed. N/A Lot Dimensions: The minimum lot size permitted in the R-6 zone is 7,000 sq. ft. A minimum lot width of 60 feet is required (70 feet for corner lots) and a minimum lot depth of 90 feet is required. Staff Comment: Not applicable, no subdivision of the property is proposed.  Setbacks: The required setbacks in the R-6 zone are as follows: front yard is 25 feet, side yard is combined 15 feet with not less than 5 feet on either side, secondary front yard (applies to corner lots) is 25 feet, and the rear yard is 25 feet. Staff Comment: The existing building and proposed addition area would maintain a front yard setback of approximately 155.42 feet; side yard setbacks of 28.75 feet from the east property line and 31.16 feet from the west property line; and a rear yard setback of approximately 32.5 feet. The existing building and proposed addition would meet all the minimum required setbacks. Compliant if condition of approval is met Building Standards: The R-6 zone has a maximum building coverage of 40% and a maximum impervious surface coverage of 55%. In the R-6 zone, a maximum building height of 2 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 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 proposed project includes a 1,750 square foot sanctuary addition (single story) to the existing church building, as well as a parking lot expansion. The proposed work is located on two parcels (Parcel nos. 0423059237 and 0423059307). The total lot area of parcel number 043059237 is 62,075 square feet and the total lot area for parcel number 0423059307 is 43,500 square feet. The existing church and proposed addition will be located on parcel number 0423059237. The existing church (two stories with basement) is currently 17,211 square feet (multi-story). The church sanctuary addition will increase the building size to 18,961 square feet. The proposal would result in a building coverage of 14,343 square feet (23 percent) on parcel number 0423059237. No building coverage is proposed on parcel number 0423059307. Therefore, the proposed building expansion City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church Expansion Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA18-000253, CU-H, MOD, MOD Report of February 19, 2019 Page 6 of 19 SR_HEX Report_FUPC_190128 would comply with the maximum building coverage requirements for the R-6 zone. The proposed impervious surface coverage is 41,778 square feet (67.3 percent) on parcel number 0423059237 and 37,987 square feet (87.3 percent) on parcel number 0423059307. The project proposal exceeds maximum impervious surface requirements; therefore, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant either revise the proposed impervious surface to comply with maximum impervious surface requirements and/or the applicant shall submit an application for a Lot Line Adjustment with the neighboring parcel to the south (parcel number 0423059068; also owned by the First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church) in order to modify the lot area to comply with impervious surface requirements. The Lot Combination and Lot Line Adjustment for review and approval by the Current Planning Project Manager, prior to Civil Construction Permit issuance. The applicant submitted building elevations (Exhibit 10) with the project application. Based on the provided building elevations, the proposed maximum wall plate height is approximately 18 feet and 9 inches above the grade plane. The overall proposed building height is approximately 26 feet and 3 inches above grade plane. The proposed expansion would comply the maximum number of permitted stories and the maximum wall plate height permitted for the R-6 zone. 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. Any additional undeveloped right-of-way areas shall be landscaped unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. Additional landscaping requirements are applicable to non-residential development in residential zones. A 15-foot wide partially sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, or 10-foot wide fully sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, is required along common property lines. Stormwater detention ponds are required to provide 15 feet of landscaping around the pond perimeter. Such landscaping shall be located outside of any required fencing. Surface parking lots with between 51 and 99 parking spaces are required to provide 25 square feet of landscaping per parking space. Any interior parking lot landscaping area shall be a minimum of 5 feet in width.

City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church Expansion Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA18-000253, CU-H, MOD, MOD Report of February 19, 2019 Page 7 of 19 SR_HEX Report_FUPC_190128 d. There shall be no more than 50 feet between parking stalls and an interior parking lot landscape area. Staff Comment: A Landscape Plan (Exhibit 11) was submitted with the project application. Per RMC 4-4-070B.1.f, changes in the use of a property or remodel of a structure that requires improvements equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the assessed property valuation triggers compliance with the landscaping regulations for the entire site. The project proposal is more that 50% of the valuation of both properties based on assessors records; therefore, compliance with landscaping regulations for the entire site is required. However, there is an exception, Per RMC 4-4-070C.2.e, for alterations or small additions determined by the Community and Economic Development Administrator not to warrant improvements to the entire site. The proposal would require perimeter parking lot landscaping, with a minimum depth of 10 feet, around the existing and proposed parking lot. The perimeter parking lot landscaping is required to have a mixture of trees, shrubs, and groundcover per RMC 4-4-070H.4. The applicant is proposing perimeter landscaping along only the new parking lot expansion. The proposed perimeter landscaping includes Crimson Sentry Maple, Gulf Stream Heavenly Bamboo, and Portugal Laurel. Groundcover is not identified on the landscape plan. Compliance with required perimeter landscaping between the existing parking lot and the drainage tract (042305TRCT) on the abutting property would require the removal of 23 existing parking spaces. Staff recommends eliminating the required perimeter parking lot landscaping along this portion of the property (in the vicinity of parking stalls number 34-56, as identified on the provided Landscape Plan), pursuant to the above exemption. Based on the provided site plan, no perimeter parking lot landscaping is proposed along the west side of the existing parking lot (along parking stalls numbered 1-14, as identified on the provided Landscape Plan). Compliance with perimeter landscaping requirements along these parking stalls would not necessitate the removal of existing parking spaces; therefore, in order to ensure compliance with perimeter parking lot landscaping regulations, staff recommends as a condition of approval, that a detailed landscape plan be submitted at the time of Utility Construction Permit Review that includes 10 feet of perimeter parking lot landscaping along parking stalls numbered 1-14. The perimeter parking lot landscaping shall be revised to include a mixture of trees, shrubs and groundcover. The detailed landscape plan shall be submitted to the Current Planning Manager for review and approval. In addition to required perimeter parking lot landscaping requirements, the applicant is required to provide a sight-obscuring visual barrier between the existing church use and the abutting residential uses. The proposed new parking lot expansion includes a 10-foot wide perimeter landscape strip; however, the provided Landscape Plan does not identify if this proposed landscape strip is fully sight-obscuring, as required by code; therefore, in order to ensure compliance with landscaping buffer requirements along the new portion of the parking lot, staff recommends as a condition of approval, that a detailed landscape plan be submitted at the time of Utility Construction Permit Review that either revises the proposed perimeter landscaping to be fully site obscuring, or revises the proposal to include 15-feet of partially sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, in compliance with RMC 4-4- 070F.4.c. The detailed landscape plan shall be submitted to the Current Planning Manager for review and approval. The existing vegetation and trees along the west and south property lines of parcel number 0423059237 do not meet the dimensional City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church Expansion Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA18-000253, CU-H, MOD, MOD Report of February 19, 2019 Page 8 of 19 SR_HEX Report_FUPC_190128 requirements for landscaping visual barrier regulations per RMC 4-4-070F.4.c; however, the existing mature trees and landscaping is adequate to screen the existing use from the abutting uses along those property lines; therefore, staff recommends that the project comply with landscaping visual barrier regulations only on the new portions of the parking lot expansion, pursuant to the above exemption. The proposal requires a minimum of 10 feet on site landscaping along the public street frontage (NE 21st Street). The proposal does not account for the approximate 23 feet of public right-of-way (ROW) dedication required along the street frontage. The applicant would need to demonstrate compliance with the required 10-foot street frontage landscaping following the required ROW deduction. To ensure that the 10-foot onsite landscape strip provides the required mix of trees, shrubs, and ground cover, staff recommends, as a condition of approval, that a detailed landscape plan be submitted at the time of Utility Construction Permit Review including the 10-foot onsite landscape strip required along NE 21st Street, that includes a mixture of trees, shrubs and groundcover. The detailed landscape plan shall be submitted to the Current Planning Manager for review and approval. Landscaping shall be installed prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the proposed church expansion. The applicant has indicated that a total of 176 parking spaces would be available upon the completion of the proposed expansion. Based on a minimum requirement of 35 square feet of landscaping per parking space, a total of 6,160 square feet of landscaping would be required within the surface parking lot. The applicant indicates that a total of 3,158 square feet of surface parking lot landscaping would be installed on the project site. The provided Landscape Plan does not label the proposed groundcover, in addition, not all of the proposed shrubs meet the minimum size requirement of 2-gallons. The proposal is not compliant with minimum interior parking lot landscaping standards; therefore, staff recommends as a condition of approval that a detailed landscape plan and landscape analysis demonstrating compliance with the parking lot landscaping requirements, as outlined in RMC 4-4- 070, be submitted at the time of Utility Construction Permit application for review and approval by the Current Planning Project Manager. The required landscaping shall be installed prior to Certificate of Occupancy for the building addition. See FOF 20, Street Modification Analysis, regarding compliance with public ROW landscaping requirements.  Tree Retention: The City’s adopted Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations (4- 4-130) require the retention of 30 percent of trees in a residential development. 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/ City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church Expansion Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA18-000253, CU-H, MOD, MOD Report of February 19, 2019 Page 9 of 19 SR_HEX Report_FUPC_190128 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. For detached single-family development, the minimum tree density is two (2) 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 4-4-070F1, Street Frontage Landscaping Required, or a combination. Staff Comment: A Landscape Plan (Exhibit 11) and Topographical Survey (Exhibit 12) were provided with the project application that identify a total of 15 existing significant (6 caliper inches or greater) trees located on-site. The provided project narrative states that no tree removal is proposed; however, the landscape plan identifies that two 6-inch caliper trees located within an existing landscape island will be removed. In addition, three 6-inch caliper trees are located within the proposed (23-foot) public right-of-way dedication and are anticipated for removal following street frontage improvements. Renton Municipal Code, Section 4-4-130H.1.a.i., requires the retention of at least 30 percent (30%) of the significant trees in a residential or institutional development. Based on a required retention rate of 30 percent, a total of 4 trees would be required to be retained on the project site. The applicant is proposing to retain a total of 10 significant trees on-site; therefore, based on the provided landscape plan, the proposal complies with minimum tree retention requirements. Commercial developments are exempt from tree density requirements. Compliant provided Conditions of Approval are met and Parking Modification is approved. Parking: Parking for religious institutions require a minimum and maximum of 1 for every 5 seats in the main auditorium; however, in no case shall there be less than 10 spaces. For all existing institutions enlarging the seating capacity of their auditoriums, 1 additional parking space shall be provided for every 5 additional seats provided by the new construction. Staff Comment: The project site currently has 99 existing 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. The applicant has submitted a parking modification request (Exhibit 13) in order to exceed the maximum number of permitted parking stalls by 35 parking spaces, for a total of 176 parking spaces. Of the 176 proposed on-site parking spaces, 6 spaces would be ADA accessible and 92 spaces (52%) would be compact. The maximum number of compact parking spaces permitted by code per RMC 4-4-080F.8.c.iii, is 30%. The proposed parking expansion exceeds the maximum percentage of compact parking spaces; therefore, staff recommends a condition of approval that the applicant submit a revised site plan and landscape plan that demonstrates compliance with maximum compact spaces regulations for review and approval by City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church Expansion Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA18-000253, CU-H, MOD, MOD Report of February 19, 2019 Page 10 of 19 SR_HEX Report_FUPC_190128 the Current Planning Project Manager at the time of Civil Construction Permit. See further discussion regarding the parking modification request below under FOF 19. The existing and proposed parking stalls are located on two separate parcels (Parcel nos. 0423059237 and 0423059307). Approximately 60 parking spaces are located on the same lot as the existing church building (parcel number 0423059237). The remaining 116 parking spaces are located on a separate parcel (parcel number 0423059307). Both parcels are owned by First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church. In order to ensure that the proposal complies with minimum parking space regulations, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant submit an application for Lot Combination for Parcel numbers 0423059237 and 0423059307, for review and approval by Current Planning Project Manager, prior to Civil Construction Permit Application. Compliant provided Conditions of Approval are met. Access: Each lot must have access to a public street or road. Access may be by a shared driveway per the requirements of RMC 4-6-060 Street Standards. The maximum width of single loaded garage driveways shall not exceed nine feet (9') and double loaded garage driveways shall not exceed sixteen feet (16'). Staff Comment: Current access to the project site exists via two driveway curb cuts off of NE 21st Street. No changes to existing access are proposed. Renton Fire Authority apparatus access roadways are required to be a minimum of 20 feet wide fully paved, with 25 feet inside and 45 feet outside turning radius. Based on the provided site plan (Exhibit 3), the proposed parking lot configuration does not comply with the required turning radius. Fire department apparatus access roadways are required within 150-feet of all points on the building, and shall be constructed to support a minimum of a 30-ton vehicle and 75-psi point loading. In order to ensure adequate fire access to the site, staff recommend as a condition of approval that the applicant demonstrate compliance with turning radius fire access requirements for review and approval by the Renton Fire Authority at the time of Civil Construction Permit. Compliant provided Street Modification is approved. Streets: The proposed street system shall extend and create connections between existing streets per the Street Standards outlined in RMC 4-6-060 Street Standards. Staff Comment: The proposed development fronts NE 21st Street along the north property line of 3811 NE 21st Street. NE 21st Street is classified as a Residential Street. The existing right-of-way (ROW) width is approximately 30 feet. The City’s complete street standards for a Residential Street require a minimum ROW width of 53 feet, which would include a ROW dedication of 23 feet width. The required half-street frontage improvements for the project proposal include installation of a paved half street travel lane, with a width of 13 feet (with gutter), a 0.5-foot wide curb, 8-foot wide landscaped planter, and a 5-foot wide sidewalk. The applicant submitted a street modification request (Exhibit 15) in order to reduce the public ROW width from 23 feet to 20 feet, eliminate the required landscaped planter, and align the required new curb to be flush with the existing curb located in front the abutting property to the east. See FOF 20 for additional information. 17.Design Standards: Residential Design and Open Space Standards (RMC 4-2-115) are applicable in the R-6 zone to new residential dwelling units. The proposal does not include any residential dwelling units; therefore the residential design and open space standards are not applicable.

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 site is currently occupied by First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church. The proposal includes the expansion of an existing use, not the establishment of a new use on the project site. The proposed church expansion is located within an existing established single family neighborhood and would not result in an overconcentration of a church use within this part of the City.  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: As previously stated above, the proposal includes the expansion of an existing use, not the establishment of a new use on the project site. A 10-foot wide partially site obscuring landscape buffer is proposed around the perimeter of the parking lot expansion in order to provide a buffer between the church and the surrounding single family residences. Provided conditions of approval are met regarding landscaping (FOF 16 under “Landscaping”), the proposal should provide adequate screening for the surrounding residential uses. In addition to the landscaping improvements, the proposal would include a new surface parking lot to replace the existing gravel parking lot, as well as a new addition to the existing church building. The proposed improvements would improve the aesthetic appearance of the church within the surrounding neighborhood; therefore it is not anticipated that the proposed expansion would result in substantial adverse impacts on adjacent properties.  d. Compatibility: The proposed use shall be compatible with the scale and character of the neighborhood. Staff Comment: The design of the addition includes a pitched roof profile, which is compatible with the roof profile of other residential structures in the area. The proposed church addition would be one story, with a maximum wall plate height of approximately 18 feet and 9 inches above the grade plane and a proposed overall building height of 26 feet and 3 inches above grade plane. The proposed height is in keeping with the height requirements for residential structures in the neighborhood. Therefore, the scale and character of the proposed addition would be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. e. Parking: Adequate parking is, or will be made, available. City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church Expansion Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA18-000253, CU-H, MOD, MOD Report of February 19, 2019 Page 12 of 19 SR_HEX Report_FUPC_190128 Staff Comment: See FOF 16 and FOF 19 for further discussion on parking compliance for the development. As stated in the parking modification below (FOF 19), the proposed 176 parking spaces would be adequate to provide parking for the proposed church expansion.  f. Traffic: The use shall ensure safe movement for vehicles and pedestrians and shall mitigate potential effects on the surrounding area. Staff Comment: 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 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 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; however staff did have concerns regarding pedestrian safety without the presence of adequate street lighting following public right of way improvements. The nearest street light is more than 70 feet away from the project site. Therefore, pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended), on January 28, 2019, the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M) for the First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church Expansion (Exhibit 9), which required 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. Provided environmental review mitigation measures are complied with, it is anticipated that the proposed expansion shall ensure safe movement for vehicles and pedestrians and shall mitigate potential effects on the surrounding area. Compliant if condition of approval is met. g. Noise, Light and Glare: Potential noise, light and glare impacts from the proposed use shall be evaluated and mitigated. Staff Comment: The applicant contends the proposed use will not contribute any new noise, light, or glare to the property or surrounding neighborhood. Staff concurs that the proposed use would not generate additional noise impacts to the existing development. Activities and assemblies would be held indoors. Exterior noise impacts would be limited to vehicles arriving and departing the site. The applicant states that additional parking lot lighting is proposed in the SEPA checklist (Exhibit 14); however, this lighting was not shown on the provided site plan (Exhibit 3). Details of the lighting plan were not provided with the project application, therefore, staff recommends, as a condition of approval that an on-site lighting plan be provided with the Civil Construction permit application demonstrating compliance with RMC 4-4-075. City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church Expansion Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA18-000253, CU-H, MOD, MOD Report of February 19, 2019 Page 13 of 19 SR_HEX Report_FUPC_190128 The lighting plan shall be reviewed and approved by the current planning project manager prior to Civil Construction permit issuance. Staff has reviewed the proposal and concurs that, if all conditions of approval are complied with, the proposal would not result in adverse noise, light, and glare impacts to the surrounding neighborhood. Compliant if condition of approval is met. 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”. Provided conditions of approval are met, it is anticipated that the proposal will have adequate landscaping to screen any adverse effects of the proposed use. 19.Parking Modification Analysis: The applicant is requesting a modification (Exhibit 13) from RMC 4-8- 080F.10.d in order to allow more than the maximum of number of parking spaces. The applicant proposes a total of 176 parking stalls rather than the maximum of 141 parking stalls. The proposal is compliant with the following modification criteria, pursuant to RMC 4-9-250, if all conditions of approval are met. Therefore, staff is recommending approval of the requested modification, subject to conditions as noted below: Compliance Modification Criteria and Analysis  a. Substantially implements the policy direction of the policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the Community Design Element and the proposed modification is the minimum adjustment necessary to implement these policies and objectives. Staff Comment: See FOF 15, Comprehensive Plan Analysis. Compliant provided conditions of approval are met. b. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment. Staff Comment: The applicant contends the project has been designed to meet vehicular safety and function requirements. The applicant has indicated that the landscape design exceeds the minimum standards of the code and mitigates the appearance of additional parking (See FOF 16 under “Landscaping” for analysis of compliance with landscaping regulations, and conditions of approval). Provided conditions of approval regarding landscaping are met, it is anticipated that the proposal will have adequate landscaping to screen any adverse effects of the proposed use. In addition, 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, and would therefore ensure that environmental protection and maintainability is provided for the site. Staff concurs that the proposed modification would meet the objectives of function and maintainability intended by the code requirements if all conditions of approval are met. This request for a parking modification beyond the maximum stalls shall only be approved if the required landscaping conditions can be met. If necessary, parking stalls shall be removed to accommodate parking lot landscaping requirements. In addition, the plan identified extensive use of compact stalls, the site shall only provide a maximum amount of compact stalls as permitted by code and the granting of the City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church Expansion Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA18-000253, CU-H, MOD, MOD Report of February 19, 2019 Page 14 of 19 SR_HEX Report_FUPC_190128 requested parking modification shall not constitute an approval of additional compact parking stalls beyond the code maximum.  c. Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity. Staff Comment: The applicant contends that the proposed parking expansion is located east of the existing church and behind an abutting neighboring property. Therefore, the proposed parking expansion is shielded from view from NE 21st Street. In addition, the proposed parking lot expansion includes perimeter landscaping, which will further screen the proposed expansion from abutting uses. In addition, it is anticipated that the additional parking area would ensure overflow parking does not impact the neighborhood. Staff concurs with the applicant that no additional impact would be caused by the approval of the proposed modification to increase the number of parking stall from 141 to 176 parking stalls. The additional 35 spaces would ensure that overflow parking does not impact the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, the proposed parking expansion would replace existing gravel parking, which would improve the aesthetic appearance of the property.  d. Conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code. Staff Comment: See comments under criterion ‘b’.  e. Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and Staff Comment: The applicant contends that additional parking spaces beyond the maximum required by code are necessary to provide adequate parking for church use and function. The applicant further states that the parking space code requirements do not account for the diverse attendee groups that will not carpool, including youth group members and small families (1-2 people). The applicant concludes that the added parking stalls would also accommodate various larger events, such as Christmas, Easter, and other unique functions throughout the year. Staff concurs with the applicant that the additional parking stalls are justified for the use and situation intended. See additional comments under criterion ‘b’ and ‘c’.  f. Will not create adverse impacts to other property(ies) in the vicinity. Staff Comment: See comments under criterion ‘c’. 20.Street Modification Analysis: Pursuant to Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-9-250D, the applicant is requesting an Administrative Modification (Exhibit 15) from RMC 4-6-060F.2, Minimum Design Standards for Public Streets and Alleys, for NE 21st Street. A minimum ROW width of 53 feet is required; therefore, dedication of 23 feet of ROW would be required along the project street frontage. The applicant has requested to modify the ROW dedication recruitment from 23 feet to 20. It should be noted that the provided Street Modification request included some conflicting information; resulting in an additional request to remove the requirement for the 8-foot wide landscaped planter within the body of the request. Due to the conflicting information in the application, the modification request was reviewed based the larger modification to City Code (i.e. elimination of the 8-foot landscaped planter and reduce the ROW dedication to 20 feet. Staff recommends approval in part and denial in part of a modified residential street section: City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church Expansion Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA18-000253, CU-H, MOD, MOD Report of February 19, 2019 Page 15 of 19 SR_HEX Report_FUPC_190128 Compliance Modification Criteria and Analysis  a.Substantially implements the policy direction of the policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the Community Design Element and the proposed modification is the minimum adjustment necessary to implement these policies and objectives. Staff Comment: The modification substantially meets the policy directives and objectives of the City’s Comprehensive plan. It is the minimum adjustment necessary to meet projected future requirements provided conditions of approval are met. Compliant in Part b.Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment. Staff Comment: The City’s Public Works Transportation Department and Economic Development Department have reviewed NE 21st Street and the existing street section east of the site. City staff recommend that new curb within the street frontage of the project site be aligned with the existing curb located east of the site. The paved roadway width would be approximately 25 feet, which should ensure adequate traffic calming. The abutting parcels to the east along NE 21st Street are already developed and have previously provided 20 feet of public right-of-way dedication based on the King County assessor’s map. By maintaining the curb alignment with adjacent properties and reducing the dedication by 3 feet, the objectives of safety, function, and appearance intended by the code would be met. Based on the conditions of the abutting property to the east, Staff recommends approval of the requested modification to allow a 20-foot wide ROW dedication on the site frontage, rather than the required 23 feet. The required frontage improvements along the site include a 0.5-foot wide curb, an 8- foot wide planter, and a 5-foot wide sidewalk. The applicant has requested a modification to eliminate the required landscape planter strip between the curb and sidewalk. The City does not recommend approval of the applicant’s request to eliminate the landscape planter between the curb and sidewalk, since the planter provides a safety buffer between the vehicles travelling on the street and the pedestrians using the sidewalk. Due to the intensity of the use, perpetuating this development pattern would not be safe and would not meet the function indented by the code. Therefore, staff recommends denial of this portion of the modification request. Approximately 15 feet of the existing side walk to the east of the project site frontage is constructed of asphalt. Based on the existing improvements, the asphalt was used as a method of temporarily transitioning the new sidewalk improvements on the abutting street frontage to the east, with the unimproved asphalt frontage in front of 3811 NE 21st Street. In order to provide a continuous, durable sidewalk along NE 21st Street, staff recommends a condition of approval that the applicant replace the existing 15 feet of temporary asphalt sidewalk to the east of the project frontage with concrete sidewalk meeting City standards. Compliance with this condition shall be demonstrated at the time of Civil Construction permit application. Compliant in Part c.Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity. Staff Comment: The requested ROW dedication of 20 feet would not be injurious to other properties in the vicinity as it is in keeping with the existing developed street and maintains a safe and consistent curb line. City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church Expansion Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA18-000253, CU-H, MOD, MOD Report of February 19, 2019 Page 16 of 19 SR_HEX Report_FUPC_190128 The landscape planter required between the curb and sidewalk provides a safety buffer between the vehicles traveling on the street and the pedestrians using the sidewalk. It is anticipated that many pedestrians would utilize this sidewalk due to the presence of the religious institution. Approval of this part of the modification request would be injurious to properties in the vicinity as it would create a safety hazard. Compliant in Part d.Conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code. Staff Comment: See comments under criterion ‘b’. Compliant in Part e.Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and Staff Comment: See comments under criterion ‘b’ and ‘c’. Compliant in Part f.Will not create adverse impacts to other property(ies) in the vicinity. Staff Comment: See comments under criterion ‘c’. 21.Availability and Impact on Public Services: Compliance Availability and Impact on Public Services Analysis Compliant if conditions of approval are met. Police and Fire: Provided the applicant complies with conditions of approval and provides Code required improvements and fees, it is anticipated that there will be sufficient resources to furnish services to the proposed development. The current rate of fire impact fee is $0.56 per square foot of additional commercial space. The fire impact fee that is current at the time of building permit application would be levied. See Exhibit 7 for additional advisory comments. Compliant if condition of approval is met. Storm Water: An adequate drainage system shall be provided for the proper drainage of all surface water. Staff Comment: 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 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 City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church Expansion Staff Report to the Hearing Examiner LUA18-000253, CU-H, MOD, MOD Report of February 19, 2019 Page 17 of 19 SR_HEX Report_FUPC_190128 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. Compliant if condition of approval is met. Water: The site is served by an existing a 2-inch domestic water meter and ¾-inch water meter. The fire flow demand for the project is 2,250 GBM, which requires a total of three fire hydrants. An approved fire sprinkler system is also required to be installed throughout the new and existing building. A fire department connection (FDC) is required to be within 50 feet of a fire hydrant or in a location approved by the Renton Regional Fire Authority. In order to ensure adequate water flow, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant either: provide an approximate 70-foot long, 8-inch diameter water main extension in order to ensure the Fire Port Connection (FPC) is within 50 feet of the hydrant; or, the applicant shall provide an alternate layout, with the Double Detector Check Valve Assembly (DDCVA) located in the landscape planter outside the building (which is located within 50 feet of the fire hydrant). The proposed water main extension shall be reviewed and approval by the Current Planning Project Manager and Development Engineering at the time of Civil Construction Permit application. A 15 feet wide easement is required for any public water main extension constructed outside the right of way. 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 or resized meters for domestic uses, irrigation uses and for fire sprinkler use. The 2019 SDC fee for a 2-inch water meter is $32,400.  Sanitary Sewer: Sewer service is provided by the City of Renton. There is an existing 8- inch sewer main located along the NE 21st Street frontage. The provided submittal does not propose any changes to side sewer service, or domestic water meter size.

The First Ukranian Pentecostal Church is requesting a parking modification. The zoning code (RMC 4-4-080) allows (based on the enlargement of the seating capacity of the sanctuary) a maximum of 77 parking stalls. The maximum cars allowed based on seating capacity will satisfy the sanctuary and choir areas per zoning code, but the zoning code does not take into account the additional parking stalls required to accomodate the fact that only 1 to 2 persons (especially youth members) per car are the actual and realistic numbers when considering number of persons per car. The requested modification would be for approx. 77 parking stalls based on the seating capacity plus the actual 1 to 2 persons per car for a total of 176 parking stalls. The added parking would also accomodate various larger events such as Christmas, Easter and other unique functions throughout the year. The proposed request will meet the City's following criteria: ·Substantially implements the policy direction of the policies and objectives of the comprehensive plan land use element and the community design element and the proposed modification is the minimum adjustment necessary to implement these policies and objectives. A transportation report was prepared by Heath & Associates, Inc., which documented the issues of site traffic generation, distribution, site circulation, reviews the existing accesses and ascertains the appropriate City TIF based on shared traffic. The conclusion of the traffic report was that no traffic mitigation measures were necessary and will not overburden the existing road system. The main entry to the building faces NE 21st St and the requested additional parking does not interrupt physically or visually the main entry pedestrian access from NE 21st St. ·Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment. The project has been designed to meet vehicular safety and function. The landscape design meets or exceeds the minimum standards of the code and mitigates the appearance of additional parking. ·Will not be injurious to other property (ies) in the vicinity. The proposed parking is located east of the proposed building shielding most of the parking area from view from NE 21st St and adja cent neighborhood. The parking area exposed to view from NE 21st St is shielded with existing trees and landscaping plus new landscaping is proposed for further shielding the parking area. The additional parking should ensure that overflow parking does not impact the immediate residential neighbors. ·Conforms to the intent and purpose of the code. The additional requested parking stalls exceed the maximum number of parking stalls allowed by code. We are requesting the increase in parking stalls to meet the client's needs for church members attending church services. ·Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended. The code requirement does not allow for the church building square footage calculation and only calculates seating capacity for determining the number of cars required. First Ukranian Pentecostal Church requires additional church parking stalls for the use and function of their facility. ·Will not create adverse impacts to other property (ies) in the vicinity. The additional church parking stalls requested will not have adverse impacts on adjacent properties.

This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use “not applicable” or "does not apply" only when you can explain why it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision-making process. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEAD AGENCIES: Additional information may be necessary to evaluate the existing environment, all interrelated aspects of the proposal and an analysis of adverse impacts. The checklist is considered the first but not necessarily the only source of information needed to make an adequate threshold determination. Once a threshold determination is made, the lead agency is responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the checklist and other supporting documents. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: [help] For nonproject proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non-projects) questions in Part B - Environmental Elements –that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal. 1 W:\Projects\First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church - Entry Design\09 Code - Permit Items - Approvals\Permit Application\CUP Submittal Documents\SEPA Application.doc Rev: 08/2016
