The Penney Loft Building, Approximately 30,000sf building, 700 S 3 rd Street Renton, WA 98057
Applicant is seeking a variance to construct and install a building name sign. Size and design of sign is
included in the attached drawing. The sign is a blade sign to be installed in the former location of the
original tenant sign that was JC Penney. The replacement sign is smaller than the original. The sign
“Penney Lofts” is the name of the building and not any business. The name gives acknowledgement to
the historical tenant and preserves its history.
The current Zoning is CD. The property sits lot line to lot line on an 11,500sf lot.
Currently the property is/was a single tenant retail building now currently under construction for
multiple commercial spaces and 24 apartments.
There are no applicable soil conditions, street improvements, trees and landscape. Neither will there be
any adverse effects. There are no off site improvements that need to be made and no trees are to be
removed. Property is not located near any river, stream, or wetland.
The cost of the sign is approximately $20,000 and is scheduled to be constructed and installed as soon
as approval.
