OF APPLICATION A Master Application has been filed and accepted with the Department of Community & Economic Development (CED) – Planning Division of the City of Renton. The following briefly describes the application and the necessary Public Approvals. DATE OF NOTICE OF APPLICATION: November 27, 2019 PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR19-000478 Renton Prep / LUA19-000285, CU-H PROJECT LOCATION: 200 Mill Ave S (APN 0007200050) APPLICANT/PROJECT CONTACT PERSON: Dr. David Paul Zimmerman/Amazing Grace Lutheran Church dba Renton Preparatory Christian School/10056 Renton Ave S, Seattle, WA 98178/ drzimmerman@agcschool.org LOCATION WHERE APPLICATION MAY BE REVIEWED: Applicant documents are available online through the City of Renton Document Center website. See also http://bit.ly/2OO8WYF PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the expansion of a private school currently operating in at 200 Mill Ave S in multi-story, multi-tenant building. The building also seeks to host a small worship group (under 20 people) on Monday's on the floor. The use would be classified as a "religious institution". No building additions or changes to the site are proposed. A Hearing Examiner CUP was approved in 2014 under LUA14-000669. The original CUP allowed for the use of two floors with up to 125 students. The applicant is seeking to expand into an additional floor and allow for the enrollment of up to 240 students. The first and third floors of the building currently house classrooms and other associated school services. The applicant has proposed utilization of the fourth floor for a makerspace in order to enable the students to gain hands-on experience in fields such as art, robotics, virtual/augmented reality, and more. The proposal is considered a major revision to the original CUP (and therefore requires a new CUP) due to the proposal involving more than a ten percent (10%) increase in area or intensity of the use. Access to the site would remain off of Mill Ave S. Critical areas mapped on-site include steep slopes, seismic hazards, and the floodplain of the Cedar River. The proposed internal tenant improvements include the addition of a new interior exit door on the fourth floor and various other improvements associated with the creation of a hands- on space. The applicant submitted a Traffic Study with the application. No trees or vegetation are proposed for removal.
