Environmental Review Committee
Department of Community & Economic Development
The City of Renton Environmental Review Committee has determined that probable significant environmental impacts
from the proposed project can be mitigated. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required under RCW
43.21C.030(2)(c). Conditions were imposed as mitigation measures by the Environmental Review Committee under their
authority of Section 4-9-070D Renton Municipal Code. These conditions are necessary to mitigate environmental impacts
identified during the environmental review process. Because other agencies of jurisdiction may be involved, the lead
agency will not act on this proposal for fourteen (14) days.
Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 p.m. on June 30, 2021. Due to
Governor Jay Inslee’s Proclamation 20-25 (“Stay Home, Stay Healthy”), the City Clerk’s Office is working remotely. For
that reason, appeals must be submitted electronically to the City Clerk at cityclerk@rentonwa.gov. The appeal fee,
normally due at the time an appeal is submitted, will be collected at a future date. Appeals to the Hearing Examiner are
governed by RMC 4-8-110 and additional information regarding the appeal process may be obtained from the City Clerk’s
Office, cityclerk@rentonwa.gov. If the situation changes such that the City Clerk’s Office is open when you file your
appeal, you have the option of filing the appeal in person.
