ENVIRONMENTAL (SEPA) DETERMINATION OF
NON-SIGNIFICANCE (DNS)
PROJECT NUMBER: LUA19-000154, ECF
APPLICANT: Richard Snyder, Sound Ford, 101 SW Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057
PROJECT NAME: Sound Ford 850 Lind Ave Change of Use
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review in order to operate a
small vehicle service and repair center in a portion of the existing building at 846 Lind Ave SW (APN 1923059100). The
property is approximately 37,792 sq. ft. in size and is located in the Medium Industrial (IM) zone. The applicant is
proposing to utilize the southern portion of the building to repair passenger cars and trucks. As part of the project, the
applicant has proposed the installation of approximately 25 vehicle lifts, a pressure washing station, a storage area, office
space and restrooms within the vacant space. According to the applicant, the building would not be open to customers
and all vehicles would be transferred to the repair area from Sound Ford's main building by staff. "Small vehicle repair" is
a permitted use in the IM zone. Environmental (SEPA) Review is required due to the project being a change of use in a
building larger than 4,000 sq. ft. A TUP (LUA19-000082) was approved on May 3, 2019 that allows the applicant to operate
the service and repair center while the Environmental Review application is reviewed by city staff. Access to the site would
remain off Lind Ave SW, while access to the building would be via an existing ramp on the west side of the building.
According to COR maps, a high seismic hazard is present on the site. No trees or vegetation are proposed for removal as
a part of the project. The applicant submitted an Environmental Checklist and Traffic Study with the application.
