Project Narrative Matrix
Characteristic Description
Project Site Data
► Name … Fred Meyer Renton Center Short Plat
► Size … 17,675 SF (Lot 2)
► Site … NWC of Rainier Avenue & Renton Center Way
Required Land Use Permits Short Plat (Preliminary & Final; Recording)
Zoning Designation CA - Commercial Arterial
Current Use & Improvements
Vacant … approximately 50% used as surface parking,
with remaining 40-45% as the former site of a
demolished structure, with 5-10% landscaping, mainly
along the perimeter
Site Features
Site is essentially flat, with asphalt paving over 50% of
surface; a small landscaped area has a single tree and
ground cover in poor condition; frontage on both NE and
SE perimeter is landscaped, with four mature trees
Soil Type & Drainage
A complete soil analysis will await future redevelopment
of the site. However for the purposes of this project, it is
presumed soil types and structure will be consistent with
the adjacent Fred Meyer Fuel Center.
Previous analysis indicated a layer of fill (±3 feet) over
native soil. The native soils (mapped as Alluvium (Qa))
included approximately five (5) feet of very soft to soft
sandy silt, situated over five (5) to ten (10) feet of loose
silty sand over a layer of medium dense to dense sand
with gravel.
Proposed Use / Development
Lot 2 is being platted by Fred Meyer for the express
purpose of eventual sale and redevelopment. Potential
buyers and/or uses have not been identified at this time.

Access Access will be primarily from Renton Center Way, with
secondary access provided by Rainier Avenue South.
Proposed Off-Site Improvements
None at this time; it is important to note discussion of
previous redevelopment concepts have consistently
maintained the existing perimeter improvements,
including access driveways, trees and landscaping.
Estimated Construction Cost
& Fair Market Value
The value of Lot 2 remains to be determined; obviously,
no construction costs can be provided at this time.
Fill & Excavation Quantities
No quantities can be provided at this time; information
will be dependent on the proposed use and site
development plans proposed by the eventual buyer.
Tree Inventory & Retention
For the purposes of this entitlement, all existing trees (5)
are proposed for retention. It may be safely assumed the
four (4) perimeter trees will be retained in most, if not all,
forthcoming redevelopment scenarios.
Dedications
With the recent completion of frontage improvements
along Rainier Avenue South, additional right-of-way
dedication is not likely. As the primary access to the
Fred Meyer complex, Renton Center Way will not be
impacted by either the platting or eventual redevelopment
of Lot 2.
Development Structures
Given the lack of a development proposal, none are
currently proposed. This regulatory phase will eventually
be addressed through a site plan review process.
Modifications None are proposed at this time
