The following comments on development and permitting issues are based on the pre -application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision -makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Community & Economic Development Administrator, Public Works Administrator, Planning Director, Development Services Director, and City Council). Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code.oThe Development Regulations are available for purchase for $50.00 plus tax, from the Finance Division on the first Floor of City Hall or online at www.rentonwa.gov Project Proposal: The project site is located on the east side of 108'h Avenue SE south of SE Carr Road, and is addressed as 17816 30g1" Avenue SE. The proposal includes the remodel and expansion of a 3,000 square foot existing vacant Wend 's building to a 7,000 square foot structure with 4,500 square feet of dental office and square feet of oral surgeon office. Parking and driveway access would largely remain in i{{{{{{��� current configuration with the addition resulting in the removal of the drive-thru. No critical areas are mapped on the project site. Current Use: Currently the site is occupied with a 3,000 square foot vacant Wendy's. Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-1208, "Development Standards for Commercial Zoning Designations" effective at the time of complete application (noted as "CA standards" herein). Zoning: The property is located within the Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) land use designation, the Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning designation, and Urban Design District D. Medical and dental offices are permitted outright in the CA zone. Minimum Lot Size Width and Depth — The minimum lot size required in the CA zone is 5,000 square feet. There are no minimum width or depth requirements. The existing site area totals 39,212 square feet which exceeds the minimum /at size requirement. h:\ced\planning\current planning\preapps\2016 preapps\pre16-000627.jill\36-000627 renton dental arts (a zone, urban design d).doc Renton Dental Arts Page 2 of 6 September 22, 2016 Lot Coverage — The maximum building coverage permitted in the CA zone is 65% of the lot area of 75% if parking is provided within the building. Based on the gross site area of 39,212 square feet the proposal for a 7,000 squarefoot building would result in a total building coverage of 18% which is less than the maximum building coverage permitted. Compliance with this requirement would be verified during the Site Plan review process. Setbacks — Setbacks are the distance between the building and the property line or any private access easement. Setback requirements in the CA zone are as follows: 15 -foot minimum front/side yard along a street setback, which may be reduced to 0 feet through the site plan review process; a 20 -foot maximum front/side yard along a street setback; and no rear or side yard setbacks, except 15 feet when the site abuts a residential zone. The proposed building appears to comply with the required setback areas. Compliance with this requirement would be verified during the Site Plan review process. Building Height — The maximum building height permitted in the CA zone is 50 feet. The proposed building would have a maximum height of approximately 24, which is less than the maximum height permitted of 50 feet. Compliance with this requirement would be verified during the Site Plan review process. Landscaping —The development standards require that all pervious areas within the property boundaries be landscaped. Therefore, all areas of the site not covered by structures, required parking, access, circulation or patios, must be landscaped with native, drought -resistant vegetative cover. Ten feet (10') of on-site landscaping is required along all public street frontages, with the exception of areas for required walkways and driveways. When a Commercial Zoned Lot or Use Is Abutting a Residential Zone, a fifteen -foot (15') wide partially sight -obscuring landscaped visual barrier, or ten -foot (10') wide fully sight -obscuring landscaped visual barrier, is required along the common property line.
