Conditions of Approval:
None.
The decision to approve the modification(s) will become final if not appealed in writing together with the required
fee to: Hearing Examiner, City of Renton, 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057 on or before 5:00 pm, on
October 10, 2019. Additional information regarding the appeal process may be obtained from the Renton City
Clerk’s office, Renton City Hall – 7th Floor, (425) 430-6510.
This decision expressly approves the specific request(s) to: reduce the minimum windows and doors requirement
from twenty five percent (25%) of all façades facing street frontage or public spaces based on a thorough analysis
of the building elevations facing the secondary front yard (Exhibit 1). The proposed glazing on Allura at Tiffany
Park, specifically Lots 20 and 88 (Exhibit 2, Site Plans), include a maxed out combination of additional and
enlarged windows and siding enhancements in an attempt to reach the twenty five percent (25%) window and
door coverage requirement (Exhibit 3, Building Drawings). Moreover, the submitted elevations were found to
sufficiently comply with the guidelines and intent of the residential design windows and doors provision of Renton
Municipal Code (RMC 4-2-115.E.3). Other design elements or representations, provided within the submitted
application materials, are excluded from this approval and would be subject to the Renton Municipal Code in
effect at the time of building permit application.
If you have any further questions regarding this decision, feel free to contact the project manager, Clark H. Close, at
(425) 430-7289 or cclose@rentonwa.gov.
