PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Hearing Examiner Site Plan Review, Variance,
four modifications, and concurrence with the Sunset Area Planned Action EIS for a proposed four-story mixed-use
building and associated improvements located at 2900 NE 10th St. The proposed building would contain 76 affordable
housing units with approximately 13,645 square feet of ground floor space occupied by the Renton Housing Authority
services staff. The residential density of the completed project would result in approximately 66 dwelling units per net
acre. The existing 13,416 square foot Renton Housing Authority building would be removed. The project site is
approximately 1.28 acres and located within the Center Village (CV) zoning district, Commercial Mixed Use (CMU)
comprehensive plan designation, and Urban Design District ‘D’ overlay. Vehicle access to the subject property would
occur from a single driveway located on the northeast portion of the site on Jefferson Ave NE. The applicant would
provide parking for 55 vehicles. The applicant would construct street frontage improvements abutting the project site
along NE 10th St and Jefferson Ave NE. Stormwater generated by the proposed improvements would be conveyed to
infiltration bioretention planters with overflows discharged into the City’s stormwater system. There are seven
significant trees on the subject property all of which are proposed to be removed. The applicant is requesting a
variance related to the required location for parking to allow parking between the building and the public street. The
applicant is also requesting four code modifications related to street frontage improvements, retaining wall height,
parking stall size, and refuse and recycling standards. Studies included with the project application include drainage
report, arborist report, geotechnical report, and traffic impact analysis. The project site is within the Sunset Planned
Action Area and the City’s Environmental Review Committee will determine whether the proposal qualifies as a
Planned Action.
