PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Administrative Site Plan Review and Environmental
(SEPA) Review for the construction of twelve (12) new attached townhome units. The subject site is located off of 127th
Pl SE between SE 172 St and SE Petrovitsky Rd and includes the following parcels: 3956200010, 3956200020,
3956200030, 3956200040, 3956200080, and 3956200080. The project site totals approximately 195,800 square feet
(4.5 acres) in area and is located within the Residential 10 du/ac (R-10) zoning classification. The site plan for the La
Fortuna development located on the site was originally approved by King County in 2005. The approved site plan included
eight (8) buildings with a total of 41 attached townhouse units. Four of the eight buildings have been completed for a
total of 23 and are currently occupied. The site was annexed to the City of Renton in March of 2008, prior to the
construction of any of the units. Building permits and Certificates of Occupancy for the existing four buildings were
issued by the City of Renton after annexation. The proposal would replace the remaining four unbuilt buildings with
three, four-unit buildings. The total number of units in the development at project completion would be 35 (23 previously
constructed + 12 proposed units). Access to both the existing and proposed units on site is via a private road that dead
ends at the southern boundary of the site. The applicant has proposed the construction of 26 surface parking stalls in
order to provide parking for the future residents. In addition, a new stormwater vault is proposed on the site. According
to materials submitted by the applicant, both a Category 2 and Category 3 wetlands are present on the western portion
of the project site. No trees are proposed for removal. The applicant submitted a geotechnical report, drainage report,
traffic analysis, and wetlands report with the application.
