G. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND
The project site totals approximately 12.4 acres in area, is rectangular shaped with a small panhandle
located at the northeastern corner of the property. The site is located on the east side of Lind Avenue SW
and is between two undeveloped right-of-ways (SW 21st Street and SW 23"' Street). The site is currently
vacant and is vegetated with deciduous trees, blackberries, and brush. No significant trees have been
identified on the project site.
The proposal would result in the construction of four office/retail/light industrial buildings (Buildings A-D)
and a 408 stall surface parking lot. Building A would total 35,047 square feet in area, building B would
total 29,940 square feet in area, building C would total 33,740 square feet in area, and building D would
total 44,580 square feet in area. All of the buildings are proposed to have a height of 22 feet 8 inches with
a 3-foot high parapet. A truck loading area is located on the central portion of the site and is bounded on
all sides by the proposed buildings.
Access to the proposed lots would be provided via driveway access off of Lind Avenue SW. Frontage
improvements would be constructed along Lind Avenue SW. The applicant has requested a waiver from
constructing right-of-way improvements along SW 21st Street and SW 23'' Street due to the presence of
wetlands in these areas. This waiver was granted by the City on February 1, 2007.
2. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended),
on January 29, 2007, the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance,

Mitigated for the project. The DNS-M included 5 mitigation measures. A 14-day appeal period commenced
on February 5, 2007 and ended on February 19, 2007. No appeals of the threshold determination were
filed.
3. ERC MITIGATION MEASURES
Based on an analysis of probable impacts from the proposed project, the following mitigation measures
were issued for the Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated:
1. The applicant shall comply with the recommendations found in the geotechnical report prepared by
Terra Associates, Inc, dated December 7, 2006.
2. The applicant shall be required to provide a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan
(TESCP) designed pursuant to the Department of Ecology's Erosion and Sediment Control
Requirements outlined in Volume II of the 2005 Stormwater Management Manual and provide staff
with a Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of Construction Permits, This condition shall be
subject to the review and approval of the Development Services Division,
3. The detention system for this project shall be required to comply with the requirements found in the
2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual to meet both detention (Conservation Flow control -
a.k.a. Level 2) and water quality improvements.
4. The applicant shall pay a Traffic Mitigation Fee in the amount of $75 for each new net daily trip prior
to the issuance of a building permit. It is anticipated that the proposed project would result in the
payment of $74,925.00 (999 net new daily trips x $75 = $74,925.00).
5. Staff recommends that the applicant pay a Fire Mitigation Fee based on $0.52 per square foot of new
commercial building area prior to the issuance of a building permit. The fee is estimated at
$74,519.64 ($0.52 x 143,307 square feet= $74,519.64).
4. STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS
Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and
address site plan issues from the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official
file, and the essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report
and the Departmental Recommendation at the end of the report.
5. CONSISTENCY WITH SITE PLAN APPROVAL CRITERIA
As per RMC 4-9-200.E, the Reviewing Official shall review and act upon site plans based upon
comprehensive planning considerations and the following criteria. These criteria are objectives of good
site plans to be aimed for in development within the City of Renton. However, strict compliance with any
one or more particular criterion may not be necessary or reasonable. These criteria also provide a frame
of reference for the applicant in developing a site, but are not intended to be inflexible standards or to
discourage creativity and innovation. The site plan review criteria include, but are not limited to, the
following:
(A) CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ITS ELEMENTS & POLICIES
The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation for the project property is Employment
Area Valley (EAV). The purpose of the Employment Area-Valley designation is to allow the
gradual transition of the Valley from traditional industrial and warehousing uses to more
intensive retail service and office activities. The intent is to allow these new activities without
making industrial uses non-conforming and without restricting the ability of existing
businesses to expand.
The following Comprehensive Plan policies are applicable to the proposal:

Policy LU-455. Street trees and landscaping should be required for new development within the
Valley to provide an attractive streetscape in areas subjected to a transition of land uses. With
the project application, the applicant submitted a landscape plan, which shows landscaping and
street trees along the Lind Avenue SW street frontage.
Policy LU-459. New development, or site redevelopment, should conform to development
standards that include scale of building, building far;ade treatment to reduce perception of bulk,
relationship between buildings, and landscaping. The submitted site plan complies with the IL
development standards.
Community Design Element
Policy CD-51: Landscaping is encouraged, and may be required, in parking areas to improve
their appearance and to increase drainage control. A landscape plan showing landscaping within
and around the proposed surface parking lot was submitted with the project application. The
proposed landscaping will consist of a variety of trees, shrubs, and ground cover and will be
reviewed to ensure compliance with the parking lot landscaping requirements.
Environmental Element
Policy EN-9. In no case should development activities decrease net acreage of existing
wetlands. The proposed development would not impact the existing wetlands; therefore no
decrease in the net acreage would occur.
(B) CONFORMANCE WITH LAND USE REGULATIONS
The subject site is zoned Light Industrial (IL). The purpose of the IL zone is to provide areas for
low-intensity manufacturing, industrial services, distribution, storage, and technical schools. Uses
allowed in this zone are generally contained within buildings. Material and/or equipment used in
production are not stored outside. Activities in this zone do not generate external emissions such
as smoke, odor, noise, vibrations, or other nuisances outside the building.
Development Standards
Lot Coverage -The maximum building lot coverage in the IL zone is 65% of the total lot area. The
building footprint of the proposed buildings totals 143,307 sq. ft. on the 539,272 sq. ft. site results
in a 26.6 percent lot coverage. The project is in compliance with this requirement.
Setbacks -The IL zone requires a minimum front yard and side yard along a street setback of 15
feet. No side or rear yard setbacks are required as the project site does not abut a residential
zone. The proposed structures would comply with all of the setback requirements.
Landscaping -The IL zone requires that 10% of the lot depth or 15 feet of on-site landscaping be
provided along all street frontages. whichever is less, but in no case less than 10 feet. The project
site abuts 3 street frontages: Lind Avenue SW {developed), SW 21'1 Street (undeveloped), and
SW 23'ct Street (undeveloped) and would be required to have 15 feet of landscaping along each
street frontage. A conceptual landscape plan was submitted with the project application. A 15-
foot landscape strip was shown along the project's Lind Avenue SW street frontage that would be
vegetated with Raywood Ash trees, a variety of shrubs, and ground cover. A Category 3 wetland
is located along the southern property line (SW 23'd Street frontage). The City's landscaping
regulations permit the retention of existing vegetation to supplement the landscaping
requirements. An excess of 15 feet of landscaping would be provided along the project's
southern property line through the retention of existing vegetation and the installation of
landscaping. A Category 2 wetland is located along the project's northern (SW 21'1 Street
frontage). An excess of 15 feet of landscaping would be provided along the majority of the
northern property line through the retention of existing vegetation and the installation of
landscaping with the exception of the area north of Building D where 5 feet of landscaping is
proposed. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that a revised site and landscape plan be
submitted with the building permit application showing the required 15-foot landscape strip along

the site's SW 21 '' Street frontage, north of Building D for review and approval by the Development
Services Division project manager.
The City's parking regulations have additional landscaping requirements, The minimum amount
of landscaping required for parking lots with 100 or more stalls is 35 sq, ft. per parking space,
Street trees shall be installed within the landscape areas at a rate of 1 tree for every 30 feet of
lineal frontage. Within the parking area a minimum of 1 tree shall be planted for every 6 parking
spaces provided, shrubs shall be planted at a rate of 5 per 100 sq. ft. of landscape area, ground
cover shall be planted in sufficient quantities to provide 90 percent coverage within the first 3
years of installation, and no more than 50 feet shall separate a parking space from a landscape
area.
The submitted conceptual landscare plan proposes to install street trees along the Lind Avenue
SW, SW 21'1 Street, and SW 23' Street frontages, Raywood Ash is proposed along the Lind
Avenue SW street frontage and Katsura and Jacquemontii Birch are proposed along the SW 21'1
Street and SW 23'' Street frontages. Based on the proposal for 408 parking stalls, a minimum of
14,280 square feet of landscaping would be required within the parking area, The submitted
landscape plan states that a total of 26,110 square feet of landscaping would be provided within
the parking area, which exceeds the minimum amount of landscaping required within the parking
lot. Based on the proposal for 408 parking stalls a total of 68 trees would be required within the
parking area, The conceptual landscaping plan identifies 79 trees within the parking area, which
complies with this requirement. A minimum of 1,306 shrubs would be required in the 26,110
square feet of landscape areas in the parking lot. The submitted landscape plan identifies a total
of 2,282 shrubs within the landscape areas, which complies with this requirement The submitted
landscape plan appears to comply with the City's landscape requirements for surface parking lots,
All landscaped areas must be fully irrigated unless 100 percent drought tolerant vegetation is
installed. At the time of building permit submittal a detailed landscape plan with species identified
must be submitted along with an irrigation plan,
Building Height -The IL zone allows a maximum building height of 50 feet All of the buildings
are proposed to have a height of 22 feet 8 inches with a 3-foot high parapet, which would comply
with the building height requirements,
Parking, Loading, and Driveway Regulations -The parking regulations require a specific number
of off-street parking stalls be provided based on the amount of square footage dedicated to
certain uses. The applicant has indicated that 75% (107,480 square feet) of the site would be
dedicated to office uses and that 25% (35,827 square feet) of the site would be a warehouse use.
Office uses require a minimum of 3 spaces per 1,000 square feet of net floor area and are
permitted a maximum of 4.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of net floor area. Warehouse uses
require 1 space per 1,500 square feet of net floor area. Based on the proposal for 107,480
square feet for office space, a minimum of 322 spaces would be required and a maximum of 484
spaces would be permitted for the office use. Based on the 35,827 square feet proposed for the
warehouse use, 24 spaces would be required. For the total site, a minimum of 346 spaces are
required and a maximum of 508 spaces would be permitted. The proposal would include 408
parking spaces, which complies with this requirement.
Of the 408 parking spaces proposed, a minimum of 9 of those are required to comply with the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. The proposed site plan indicates that 9 of
the 408 parking spaces provided would be ADA compliant, which complies with this requirement.
The minimum parking stall dimensions required in the IL zone for standard stalls is 9 feet in width
by 20 feet in length and for compact stalls is 8 Y, feet in width by 16 feet in length. Compact stalls
shall not account for more than 30 percent of the total number of parking spaces. The parking
stall length may be reduced by 2 feet provided there is sufficient area to safely allow the overhang
of a vehicle and that the area of the vehicle overhang does not intrude into required landscaping
areas. The proposed stalls comply with the minimum parking stall dimensions.
(C) MITIGATION OF IMPACTS TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND USE
Commercial and Industrially zoned properties surround the subject property. It is not anticipated
that the proposed development would adversely impact the surrounding properties. Staff

anticipates the project to add value to the site and further enhance area. The additional office
uses would potentially increase the amount of activity in the area.
Construction activities would result in short-term noise, dust and traffic impacts on surrounding
properties limited to the project's construction. The applicant has submitted a Construction
Mitigation Plan with the land use application outlining measures to be employed for minimizing
dust, noise and traffic impacts during construction. The Construction Mitigation Plan would also be
submitted prior to the issuance of any building or construction permit to verify the truck/haul routes
and note any other provisions related to construction activities.
(D) MITIGATION OF IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN TO THE SITE
The scale, height and bulk of the proposed buildings are appropriate for the site and are
anticipated to be architecturally compatible with existing and future development in the vicinity.
The site is 12.4 acres and the proposed building would have a building lot coverage of 26.6% of
the site. In addition, landscaping is proposed within the parking area and around the perimeter of
the site along public street frontages.
The scale of the buildings will be broken up through the use of vertical and horizontal modulation.
The building height of each of the buildings is 22 feet 8 inches with a 3-foot tall parapet.
According to the building elevations, the building materials would consist primarily of painted
concrete tilt-up panels.
The refuse and recyclable deposit area would be located to the rear of the proposed buildings on
the central portion of the site and would be screened from public view. The City's refuse and
recyclable standards would require a minimum of 4 square feet per 1,000 square feet of building
gross fioor area for a refuse area and a minimum of 2 square feet per 1,000 square feet of
recyclable area. Based on a total gross floor area of 143,307 square feet for the proposed
ouildings a minimum of 573 square feet would be required for a refuse area and a minimum of
287 square feet would be required for a recyclable area. The submitted site plan identifies a total
of 360 square feet for combined refuse and recyclable deposit areas, which is less than the
minimum the City's standards require. If practical difficulties exist, which make the provision of
the required refuse and recyclable deposit areas unfeasible the Development Services Director
may approve a modification to reduce the amount of refuse and recyclable deposit area that's
required subject to a written request submitted by the applicant. Therefore, staff recommends as
a condition of approval that either the site plan be revised to provide the required refuse and
recyclable deposit areas per City standards or a modification request to reduce the required
refuse and recyclable deposit areas shall be submitted. The revised site plan or modification
request shall be submitted to the Development Services Division project manager for review and
approval prior to the issuance of a building permit.
Potential erosion impacts that could occur during project construction would be adequately
mitigated by City Code requirements for approval of a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation
Control Plan (TESCP) pursuant to the King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM)
and a Construction Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of Construction Permits. In addition, the
City's Environmental Review Committee imposed a mitigation measure on the project requiring
compliance with the 2005 Department of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for erosion
and sediment control.
(E) CONSERVATION OF AREA-WIDE PROPERTY VALUES
The proposal is expected to increase property values in the vicinity of the site. The development
of the site provides improvements to infrastructure, landscaping and lighting and additional
employment opportunities.
(F) SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY OF VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION
The applicant provided a Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by JTE, Inc., dated December 11,
2006. The proposed development is anticipated to generate additional traffic on the City's street
system. Approximately 999 new average daily trips are estimated to be generated by the
proposed development, including 125 p.m. peak hour trips. To mitigate for the increased traffic

anticipated on the City's street system, the City's Environmental Review Committee imposed a
mitigation measure on the project requiring the payment of a Traffic Mitigation Fee in the amount
of $74,925.00 prior to the issuance of a building permit.
Access to the site is proposed via two driveway entrances off of Lind Avenue SW. It appears that
vehicles would be permitted to circulate safely throughout the subject property.
Concrete pedestrian walkways are proposed internally around the proposed buildings with a
crosswalk connection to the public sidewalk that will be constructed along Lind Avenue SW.
It appears that there would be adequate separation between pedestrians and vehicles providing
safety and efficiency for pedestrian and vehicular circulation.
Construction truck hauling hours are limited to between 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. under the
Development Guidelines Ordinance in order to avoid conflicts with peak hour traffic. The Traffic
Planning Section will review construction-related impacts prior to issuing final construction
permits.
(G) PROVISION OF ADEQUATE LIGHT AND AIR
The proposed buildings are designed appropriately to allow adequate light and air circulation to
the building and the site. The design of the building will not result in excessive shading of the
property. In addition, there is ample area surrounding the building to provide for normal airflow.
Exterior onsite lighting, including security and parking lot lighting, would be regulated by code.
Compliance with this code (RMC 4-4-075) ensures that all building lights are directed onto the
building or the ground and can not trespass beyond the property lines. According to code, parking
lot lighting fixtures are to be non-glare and mounted no more than 25 feet above the ground. This
is to help minimize the impact onto adjacent properties. The location of the proposed light fixtures
was included in the application materials. Staff does not anticipate that exterior lighting would
become an issue due to the siting of the building provided code requirements are met.
(H) MITIGATION OF NOISE, ODORS AND OTHER HARMFUL OR UNHEALTHY CONDITIONS
It is anticipated that the most significant noise, odor and other potentially harmful impacts would
occur during the construction phase of the project. The applicant has submitted a Construction
Mitigation Plan that provides measures to reduce construction impacts such as noise, control of
dust, traffic controls, etc.
The proposed development is not anticipated to generate any harmful or unhealthy conditions.
There would be noise impacts of increased traffic and activity that are normally associated with an
office development that has truck traffic.
{I) AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC SERVICES AND FACILITIES TO ACCOMMODATE THE
PROPOSED USE
Fire Department and Police staff have indicated existing facilities are adequate to accommodate
the subject proposal, subject to the applicant's payment of the necessary impact fees. As
imposed by the ERC, the applicant will be required to pay the Fire Mitigation fee prior to the
issuance of building permits.
A Preliminary Storm Drainage Report prepared by AHBL dated December 2006 was submitted
with the project application. According to the report the existing drainage sheet flows across the
property to the existing onsite wetlands. Drainage is conveyed from the wetlands via ditches and
closed conveyance systems to Springbrook Creek.
The proposed method of drainage control as indicated by the storm drainage report would to
collect the drainage from the site via a 12, 18, 24, and 30-inch closed conveyance system where
it would be conveyed to a pump chamber. The drainage would then be pumped into a detention
pond. Release from the detention pond will be controlled via two multi-orifice control structures
and released to bioswales for treatment prior to release to the north and south wetlands at the
property perimeter.

The Environmental Review Committee imposed a mitigation measure requiring the project to
comply with the 2005 King County Surface Water Design Manual.
The project site is located within the City of Renton water service area. There is a 24 inch water
main in Lind Avenue SW. Available fire flow to the project site is 5,500 gpm. Pressure available
is approximately 78 psi. The project site is located within the 196 water pressure zone and is
outside of the Aquifer Protection Area. According to the Fire Department the preliminary fire flow
required for the proposal is 5,000 gpm. Five hydrants would be required to serve the project.
One hydrant is required within 150 feet and four additional hydrants are required within 300 feet of
all of the structures. Fire sprinkler and alarm systems are required for the proposed buildings.
Extension of a 12 inch water main is required on-site. The main shall be looped around the
buildings. The water plans show the looped water main, however the plans indicate that the size
of the main to be installed would be 10 inches, which is less than the minimum size required by
City standards. The water plans shall be revised to show a 12 inch water main looped around the
project site. A tie-in to the existing 8 inch water main to the east will be required and is shown on
the water plans,
A Water System Development Charge based on a rate of $0.273 per gross square foot of total
site area is required and is payable prior to the issuance of the Utility Construction Permit.
The project is located within the City of Renton sewer service area. There is an 8 inch sewer
main in Lind Avenue SW. An 8 inch sanitary sewer main extension is required to serve the
proposed project. If the finished floor elevations are below 25 feet, a "tideflex" or similar backflow
device will be required to be installed. Side sewers are required to have a minimum slope of 2
percent.
A Sewer System Development Charge based on a rate of $0.142 per gross square foot of total
site area is required and is payable prior to the issuance of the Utility Construction Permit.
(J) PREVENTION OF NEIGHBORHOOD DETERIORATION AND BLIGHT
The proposal would result in the development with coordinated site improvements including
landscaping, parking, signage and lighting. It is anticipated that the proposed development would
contribute to the surrounding properties by developing a vacant site and providing investment in
the area. No deterioration or blight is expected to occur as a result of this proposal.
