EVALUATION FORM & DECISION
PROJECT NAME: Phung SFR
PROJECT NUMBER: LUA20-000076, B19005586
PROJECT MANAGER: Nathan Janders, Civil Engineer II
APPLICANT: Milton Orellana
ZONING CLASSIFICATION: R6-Residential (6 DU/AC)
PROJECT LOCATION: 2604 Lynnwood AVE NE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Pursuant to RMC 4-9-250D, the applicant is requesting an Administrative Modification from RMC
4-6-060 - Street Standards to modify Lynwood AVE NE to maintain the existing street section.
BACKGROUND:
Lynnwood AVE NE is classified as a Residential Access street with an existing right-of-way width
of 60 feet per the King County Assessor’s Map. The existing roadway pavement width is
approximately 35 feet. There are existing frontage improvements along Lynwood AVE NE
including a curb, approximately 6-foot planting strip, 5-foot sidewalk, street trees and storm
drainage.
Per RMC 4-6-060, Complete Street Standards, a Residential Access street requires a minimum
right-of-way width of 53 feet. A paved roadway width of 26 feet consisting of two 10-foot travel
lanes and one 6-foot parking lane is required. A 0.5-foot curb, 8-foot planter, and 5-foot sidewalk
are required along each side of the pavement.
To meet the City’s Complete Street Standards, right-of-way dedication of approximately 3 feet
would be required to maintain both the existing paved width and curb-line, install an 8-foot
planter, and install a 5-foot sidewalk along the project frontage.
The proposed residence is in an already developed neighborhood that has frontage along all
streets, within the City of Renton, up to approximately two tenths of a mile away from the project
site. The existing roadway meets the requirement for an emergency access roadway (20-foot
paved roadway width with an approved fire access turnaround).
