Fred Meyer Renton Center Short Plat
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.
Plat Information
► Fred Meyer Renton Center Short Plat
► 17,675 SF
► NWC of the intersection of Rainier Avenue South, 3rd
Avenue (E) and a private right-of-way, Renton Center
Way

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

Conditions of Approval Compliance
LUA16-000254(J)(1)
A detailed landscape plan shall be submitted
for Lot 2 prior to final short plat approval. The
landscape plan shall include plantings on the
vacant portion of Lot 2 to discourage the use
of this portion of the site for overflow parking.
The landscape plan shall be submitted to the
Current Planning Project Manager for review
and approval. The plantings shall be installed
prior to the recording of the short plat.
A copy of the Conceptual Landscape Plan reflecting our
compliance with this condition is attached; said plan was
transmitted to Jill Ding for review and approval (see
attached e-mail). This plan indicated the applicant's
desire to hydroseed the property, rather than commit to
more permanent plantings - given the temporary nature
of the situation. Hydroseeding has commenced onsite
and compliance can be verified via field inspection.
LUA16-000254(J)(2)
An access easement shall be recorded over
Lot 1 granting access to Lot 2 via Renton
Center Way. The access easement shall be
recorded on the face of the final short plat.
A copy of the revised Short Plat was included in the
same transmission; providing proof of the inclusion of the
access easement on the face of the plat itself.
