surrounding areas
The Temporary Use will not cause nuisance factors such as noise, light, or glare which
adversely impacts surrounding uses
If applicable, the applicant has obtained the required right-of-way use permit
After review of the proposal and any staff or public comment, the Planning Division will issue a decision.
The decision to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the proposal will be mailed to all persons listed
on the Master Application and all parties of record.
APPEAL AND RECONSIDERATION PROCESS FOR DECISIONS: Any person, including the applicant,
aggrieved by the granting or denial of an application, may make a written application for reconsideration
to the Reviewing Official within 14 calendar days of the date of the decision. After review of the
request, the Reviewing Official may take whatever action is deemed proper. The Reviewing Official’s
written decision on the reconsideration request will be mailed to all parties of record within 10 days

Permit must be obtained to install utility lines, transportation improvements and undertake work in City
right-of-ways. Building and Construction Permits are separate permits.
Applicants may apply for building and construction permits concurrently with their request for a land
use application. However, the applicant should be aware any conditions of land use permit approval
may create a need for revisions to other permit applications whereby additional fees may be charged.
Refunds of building permit charges are not available.
If no appeals or reconsideration requests are filed within 14 days of the effective date of the decision to
approve the application, the applicant may obtain building and construction permits. A construction
permit for the installation of on-site and off-site utilities will be issued upon the review and approval of

Release and Indemnification Agreement for Model Homes
This agreement is made by and between the City of Renton, Washington, a municipal corporation of the State of
Washington (“City”) and (“Owners”).
Recitals
The Owners own real property in the City legally described in Exhibit A, attached.
The Owners have submitted an application for building permit(s) and/or a Temporary Use Permit to construct model
homes on the real property prior to recording of a short plat or final plat. Since changes to the short plat or final plat
may be necessary after construction of the model homes rendering the homes illegal, there is some risk in building the
model homes.
In consideration of the inherent risks associated with the construction of buildings in advance of the recording of the
plat, the City requires the owner to execute an indemnification agreement prior to any model home construction
activities.
Agreement
The parties agree to the following:
1. The City authorizes the Owners to do the work as described in the Temporary Use Permit application No.
once building permits have been obtained.
2. The owners assume the risk that the model home(s) must be removed or reconfigured and therefore release
and discharge the City and its representatives from all known and unknown losses, claims, damages or causes
of actions which the owners have or may have relating to buildings or structures authorized by the Temporary
Use Permit.
3. As a condition of granting Owner permission to construct model homes, Owner agrees to indemnify, defend and
hold the City of Renton Harmless from any claims or liens that may be exerted against the property as a result
of construction of model homes and use of the unrecorded plat of
.
4. Owners understand and acknowledge that, should the model home construction not comply with the proposed
lot configuration of the final plat, no variances to development standards for either the lots or the homes may be
granted as such a situation would be considered a “self-induced hardship”.
5. Owners acknowledge that they understand that any construction begun prior to the recording of the final plat
must be in compliance with all City zoning and subdivision requirements (e.g. setbacks, lot coverage, etc.) or
removed prior to recording of the final plat. If the final plat is not recorded prior to the expiration of the
Temporary Use Permit, Owners acknowledge that the homes must be removed unless complying with all
applicable code requirements (e.g. one home per lot, etc.).
6. Applicant will also provide an Abatement Agreement and a security device acceptable to the City to ensure
removal of any structures not in compliance with City regulations at the time of expiration of the Temporary Use
Permit and understands construction of the model homes is at Owners’ own risk.
7. The provisions of this agreement shall bind the parties, their legal heirs, representatives, successors and
assigns and shall expire upon the recording of the final plat of .
I, (Print Name) , declare that I am (please check one) the owner of the property
involved in the application, the authorized representative to act for the property owner (if a corporation, please attach
proof of authorization to sign), and that the foregoing statements and answers herein contained and the information
herewith submitted are in all respects true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
