Located at 1300 Bronson Way N in Renton, WA. t he proposed project is a
Headquarters and Campus for Construction Industry Training Council (CITC) of
Washington. This campus will provide hands-on vocational training and
classrooms for the construction trades, and will also house CITC’s administrative
staff facilities. The building design consists of the adaptive re-use of an existing
32,681sf truck repair and parts building, as well as a partial second floor addition
of 18,339sf. The final gross floor area of the new facility will be 49,763sf once a
small portion of the existing building near Bronson Way is removed.
The project will include extensive site work, new parking, walks, curbs/ gutters,
landscaping, utilities, a bio-retention planter, and secondary structures to screen
and house waste and recycling as well as an electrical transformer. Additionally a
public plaza will be constructed at the building’s main entrance along Bronson
Way, which will include specialty paving, extensive landscaping, a water feature,
accent walls, decorative lighting and benches.
The project site is in (2) zones; Commercial Arterial (CA) and Residential (R-10).
Until recently, the western portion of the site has been used as a truck repair and
parts depot, while the eastern portion of the site is abandoned. The sub-surface
soil conditions consist of approximately 8-10 feet of loose-dense sandy silt and
un-engineered fill, underlain by native sand and gravel soils to a depth of 52 feet.
For additional information please reference the included Geotechnical Soils
Report (Dated April 26, 2019).
The total estimated construction cost is approximately $12 million. The total soil
estimated to be excavated for the placement of new concrete footings is 288
cubic yards, and no fill is anticipated. No trees currently exist on the site. The
abandoned site to the east will be used for construction staging, job trailers, and
material storage throughout most of construction. Toward the end of construction
this lot will be transformed into a new parking lot with approximately 10,000sf of
landscaping. Please refer to the included Construction Mitigation Plan for
additional construction related information.
The Land Use Permits required for this project are a Conditional Use Permit,
Environmental Review and a Site Plan Review. Additionally, the design team
plans to apply for a Lot Line Adjustment which will propose a 12 inch shift to the
east of the property lines on either side of the interior alley.

There are 2 small land dedications planned. One of which is a small sliver at the
south end of the new parking lot where the property line needs to be adjusted
slightly to accommodate Renton’s 18ft. setback from the face of curb at Bronson
Way for Curb, Sidewalk, Landscape Strip and Maintenance strip. The other
dedication will occur at the southwest corner of the property where a 1 foot offset
of the property line is required from a new pedestrian ramp which will be located
at the corner of Bronson Way N and Garden Ave N..
