PROJECT NARRATIVE
Project Name: Hansra Covered Patio Variance
Owners/Applicants: Tejpal (Paul) S. Hansra and Rupinder (Ruby) K. Hansra
Project Location: 5507 NE 1st Pl., Renton, WA 98059
This application is being submitted to request approval of an Administrative Variance from the
provisions of the Renton Municipal Code (RMC) regulating side yard setbacks, impervious
surface, and building coverage for a primary single-family addition to an existing structure in the
Residential – 4 dwelling unit per acre (R-4) zone (RMC 4-2-110A). The purpose of the variance
is to allow for the addition of an outdoor deck and associated roof cover (collectively, “covered
patio”) at 5507 NE 1st Place, Renton, WA 98059. Applicants are proposing an approximately
470 square foot covered patio attached to the south side (rear) of the existing home.
The existing footprint of the single-family home is 2,798 square feet and is proposed to be
increased to approximately 3,268 square feet. The lot is 8,130 square feet in area. R-4 zoning
requires side yard setbacks of a combined 20 feet with not less than 7 ½ feet on either side, a
maximum building coverage of 35%, and a maximum impervious surface area of 50%.
Applicants are requesting a variance to allow the proposed covered patio to encroach 2 ½ feet
into the eastern side yard setback (while more than meeting the combined 20 feet setback), a
building coverage of approximately 40%, and an impervious surface coverage of approximately
54% (as a portion of the covered patio is being built over an existing concrete slab). No trees
will be removed as part of the addition.
