PROJECT NAME/NUMBER: PR20-000048 Jurgens RUV / LUA20-000006

LOCATION WHERE APPLICATION MAY
BE REVIEWED:
Applicant documents are available online through the City of Renton Document
Center website. See also http://bit.ly/2RDFxDg
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting SEPA Environmental Review and a Reasonable Use
Variance to construct a two-story, 1,700 sq. ft. (footprint) addition on an existing single-family home at 2301 Jones Ave
NE (APN 3344500210). The existing two-story home is approximately 1,824 sq. ft. in size and was constructed in 1974.
The site is located in the R-4 zoning district and Residential Low Density Comprehensive Plan Designation. A Category II
wetland is located on a tract directly north of the subject site and a Type Np stream (Kennydale Creek) is located on the
east side of the site. The applicant is requesting a Reasonable Use Variance in order to allow the proposed addition to
encroach approximately 75 feet into the Category II wetlands buffer and approximately 25 feet into the Type Np stream
buffer. The existing home is currently located entirely in buffer for the wetlands and partially in the buffer for the stream.
The single-family project is not categorically exempt from Environmental Review as it requires the approval of a variance
(RMC 4-9-070). No trees or vegetation would be removed as a part of the project. The applicant has proposed the
removal of gravel driveway along the north side of the side and within the wetlands and stream buffers in order to reduce
the amount of impervious surface on the site. Therefore the project would result in decrease of impervious surface. The
applicant submitted a wetlands report and mitigation plan with the application.
