City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report ATS AUTOMATION EXPANSION LUA15-000478, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of August 3, 2015 Page 4 of 30 ERC/Site Plan Report 1. Environmental Threshold Determination Based on analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials: Issue a DNS-M with a 14-day Appeal Period. 2. Mitigation Measures a. Project construction shall comply with the recommendations outlined in the Geotechnical Engineering Report prepared by PanGeo, dated December 23, 2014. 3. Environmental Impacts The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable impacts: a. Earth Impacts: The topography of the subject site is flat. A seismic hazard area is mapped across the entire project site. A Geotechnical Engineering Report prepared by PanGeo, dated December 23, 2014 (Exhibit 13) was submitted with the formal land use application. Two new borings (CPT-3 and CPT-4) were drilled at the location of the proposed addition; three previous borings were drilled adjacent to the main ATS building. The soil conditions below the proposed addition area were consistent with the soil conditions encountered adjacent to the main ATS building. According to the report (Exhibit 13), the materials within about 48 feet of the existing ground surface consist of interbedded sands, silts and clays that were deposited in a low energy environment. Sands within the upper alluvium are typically loose and the silty clays and clayey silts are typically soft. The CPT probes indicate that the upper alluvium may also contain sensitive or compressible materials such as peat. According to the report (Exhibit 13), these soils are moderately compressible and susceptible to liquefaction during a strong earthquake. The report (Exhibit 13) concludes that the use of conventional spread footing foundations without ground improvement may result in building settlements on the order of 3 to 4 inches under static loading and an additional 1 to 2 inches under seismic loading. To mitigate the settlement of the building, the report identifies the use of a preload, the use of ground densification from Geopiers or stone columns extending to a depth of about 25 feet, or the use of 18” diameter augercast pile foundations installed to a depth of about 53 feet to support both the structure and floor slab as viable options for foundation support. According to the applicant, the building addition would be supported by a structural slab with grand beams and augercast piles. The applicant estimates that 250 cubic yards of soil would be stripped from the project site, 450 cubic yards of cut is anticipated for the foundation, and 700 cubic yards of fill would be brought in. Due to the liquefaction and settlement potential on the project site, staff recommends as a SEPA mitigation measure that project construction be required to comply with the recommendations outlined in the Geotechnical Engineering Report, prepared by PanGeo, dated December 23, 2014. Mitigation Measures: Project construction shall be required to comply with the recommendations outlined in the Geotechnical Engineering Report, prepared by PanGeo, dated December 23, 2014. Nexus: SEPA Environmental Review, 4-4-060 Grading, Excavation and Mining Regulations b. Environmental Health i. Environmental Health Hazards Impacts: It is not anticipated that the project would not significantly impact environmental health. The applicant is proposing to demolish an existing 1-story structure and construct a 3-story addition to an City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report ATS AUTOMATION EXPANSION LUA15-000478, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of August 3, 2015 Page 5 of 30 ERC/Site Plan Report existing office building. There are no contaminants on or near the project site and no hazardous chemicals are part of the proposed design. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. ii. Noise Impacts: During construction, equipment operation would temporarily increase noise levels in the vicinity of the project. Construction vehicles are required to have mufflers to reduce some of the temporary impact of construction noise. In addition, the applicant has indicated that the construction work hours will be limited to the hours between seven o’clock (7:00) a.m. and five o’clock (5:00) p.m., Monday through Friday. The proposed work hours would not exceed the standard hours permitted by the City of Renton for commercial construction activities. It is not anticipated that the proposed addition would result in long term noise impacts as the current office use of the site is not changing. Mitigation Measures: No additional mitigation needed. Nexus: Not applicable. c. Transportation Impacts: A traffic study was not required for the proposed project as it was determined that the addition would not result in more than 20 peak hour trips. Access to the site is provided off of Shattuck Avenue S via a one way circulation pattern through the parking lot. The existing entrance to the site will be moved to the north to accommodate the proposed addition and reconfigured surface parking. The existing exit off the site will remain in its current location to the south of the existing building. Whitworth Avenue S dead ends at the northwest portion of the project site, however access to the site off of Whitworth Avenue S is limited to gated emergency access. General access to the site from Whitworth Avenue S is not available. In addition, an existing alley dead ends at the northern portion of the project site, however general access to the site is not encouraged off of the existing alley, although access off of the alley is not prohibited. After the reconfiguration of the parking area, the number of parking stalls onsite would increase from 87 to 90 (an increase of 3 stalls). One bicycle parking space would be provided as a result of the proposed addition. It is not anticipated that the construction of the proposed addition would result in a significant adverse impact on existing traffic conditions on or around the project site provided payment of Code required transportation impact fees is received. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. d. Fire & Police Impacts: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicated that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed development, subject to the condition that the applicant provides Code required improvements and fees. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. 4. Comments of Reviewing Departments The proposal has been circulated to City Department and Division Reviewers. Where applicable, their comments have been incorporated into the text of this report and/or “Advisory Notes to Applicant”.  Copies of all Review Comments are contained in the Official File and are attached to this report.

Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address issues raised by the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the essence of the comments have been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the Departmental Recommendation. 17. The proposal requires Site Plan Review. The following table contains project elements intended to comply with Site Plan Review decision criteria, as outlined in RMC 4-9-200E: City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report ATS AUTOMATION EXPANSION LUA15-000478, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of August 3, 2015 Page 7 of 30 ERC/Site Plan Report SITE PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA: a. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPLIANCE AND CONSISTENCY: The site is designated Commercial & Mixed Use (CMU) on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The purpose of CMU is to transform strip commercial development into business districts through the intensification of uses and with cohesive site planning, landscaping, signage, circulation, parking, and the provision of public amenity features. The proposal is compliant with the following Comprehensive Plan policies:  Policy U-18: Support compact urban development to improve health outcomes, support transit use, maximize land efficiency, and maximize public investment in infrastructure and services.  Policy L-53: Orient buildings in developments toward the street or a common area, rather than toward parking lots.  Policy L‐57: Complement the built environment with landscaping using native, naturalized, and ornamental plantings that are appropriate for the situation and circumstance and which provide for respite, recreation, and sun/shade. b. ZONING COMPLIANCE AND CONISTENCY: The subject site is classified Center Downtown (CD) on the City of Renton Zoning Map. The following development standards are applicable to the proposal: Density: Per RMC 4-2-120B the allowed density range in the CD zoning classification is a minimum of 25 dwelling units per net acre (du/ac) up to a maximum of 100 du/ac. Net density is calculated after public rights-of-way, private access easements, and critical areas are deducted from the gross acreage of the site. Not applicable. Lot Dimensions: Per RMC 4-2-120B there are no minimum lot size, width, or depth requirements in the CD zone. Not applicable. Setbacks: Per RMC 4-2-120B the CD zoning classification requires a minimum front and side yard along a street setback of 0 feet. There is a maximum front and side yard along a street setback of 15 feet for buildings 25 feet or less in height and no maximum front or side yard along a street setback for that portion of the building over 25 feet in height. The CD zone has no side yard setback. There is no rear setback unless the lot abuts a residentially zoned lot then there shall be a 15-foot landscaped strip or a 5- foot wide sight-obscuring landscaped strip and a solid 6-foot high barrier used along the common boundary. The following table contains setbacks for the proposed addition (Exhibit 3): Front Yard Setback (east along Shattuck Ave S) Side Yard Setback (north) Side Yard Setback (south) Rear Yard Setback (west) 5’ 9” 47’ 41’ (existing building) 32’ The proposed addition would comply with the setback requirements of the CD zone. Building Height: Per RMC 4-2-120B building height is restricted to 95 feet unless the site abuts a lot designated as residential, then the maximum building height is restricted to 20 feet more than the maximum height allowed in the abutting residential zone. City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report ATS AUTOMATION EXPANSION LUA15-000478, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of August 3, 2015 Page 8 of 30 ERC/Site Plan Report The height of the proposed structure would be 41 feet 6 inches to the top of the mechanical equipment screen (Exhibit 5). The project site abuts property zoned Residential – 14 dwelling units per acre (R-14) to the north. The maximum height permitted in the R-14 zone is 30 feet for residential uses and 20 feet for commercial uses. The maximum height permitted on the project site would be 20 feet more than the 30- foot maximum height permitted for residential uses in the R-14 zone or 50 feet. The proposed maximum height of 41 feet 6 inches complies with the height requirements of the zone. Building Standards: Per RMC 4-2-120B there is no maximum lot coverage requirement for proposals within the CD classification. After the construction of the proposed addition, the project site would have a lot coverage of 31.4 percent, which would be in compliance with the maximum building coverage standards. Landscaping: Per RMC 4-4-070C development in the CD zone is exempt from the landscaping requirements, however code interpretation was issued (CI-72) which requires development in the CD zone to comply with the surface parking lot landscaping requirements. Surface parking lots with more than fourteen (14) stalls shall be landscaped as follows: Total Number of Parking Stalls Minimum Landscape Area 15 to 50 15 sf/parking space 51 to 99 25 sf/parking space 100 or more 35 sf/parking space A conceptual landscape plan was submitted with the project application (Exhibit 4). The landscape plan includes a planting plan; the proposed species largely consist of Chinese kousa dogwood (street trees), vine maple, Japanese maple, shore pine, deer fern, feather reed grass, English lavender, Oregon grape, David’s viburnum, and kinnickinnick. The proposed addition would be located 5 feet 9 inches from the front property line. Within the 5 feet 9 inch setback area, the applicant is proposing to install a concrete walkway and 2-foot planting strip to be vegetated with English lavender. Along the northeastern corner of the project site, abutting the reconfigured parking area, the applicant is proposing to install an 11’5” landscape strip and a relocated antique wrought iron fence (see further discussion below on fencing). The landscape plan (Exhibit 4) identifies vine maple, shore pine, David’s viburnum, Oregon grape, English lavender, and kinnickinnick as vegetation to be installed within this landscaped strip. The site plan (Exhibit 3) shows plantings between the relocated wrought iron fence and the sidewalk, however, the landscape plan (Exhibit 4) shows no plantings between the fence and sidewalk. Staff recommends, as a condition of approval, that a detailed landscape plan be submitted at the time of Building Permit Review. The detailed landscape plan shall include, but is not limited to, plantings between the wrought iron fence and sidewalk on the northeast corner of the project site. The detailed landscape plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Current Planning project manager prior to the issuance of the building permit. Landscaping shall be installed prior to Certificate of Occupancy. The construction of the proposed addition will result in the removal and replacement of 11 parking spaces as well as the addition of 3 new parking spaces for a total of 90 parking spaces on the project site. Surface parking lots with 51 to 99 spaces are required to provide 25 square feet of landscaping per parking space. The proposal to remove/replace 11 parking spaces and add 3 parking spaces, results in a new parking area with 14 parking spaces, which would require a total of 350 square feet of landscaping City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report ATS AUTOMATION EXPANSION LUA15-000478, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of August 3, 2015 Page 9 of 30 ERC/Site Plan Report (14 spaces x 25 sf = 350 sf). According to the landscape analysis provided on the site plan (Exhibit 3), the proposal includes a total of 1,158 square feet of parking lot landscaping, which exceeds the minimum 350 square foot requirement. The parking area is proposed to be landscaped with 7 Japanese maples, 1 vine maple, David’s viburnum, deer fern, Oregon grape, English lavender, and kinnickinnick. Perimeter parking lot landscaping area shall be a minimum of 10 feet in width. Landscaping shall be dispersed throughout the parking area and shall include a mixture of trees, shrubs, and groundcover as follows: trees shall be 2 inches in diameter at breast height (dbh) for multi-family, commercial, and industrial uses. At least one tree for every 6 parking spaces within the lot interior shall be planted; shrubs at the minimum rate of one per 20 square feet of landscaped area shall be planted. Up to 50% of shrubs may be deciduous; ground cover shall be planted in sufficient quantities to provide at least 90% coverage of the landscaped area within 3 years of installation; there shall be no more than 50 feet between parking stalls and an interior parking lot landscape area. The landscape strip between the parking lot and the north property line is 3 feet in width, which is less than the 10-foot minimum width required. However, per 4-4-070C.2.e. those alterations or small additions determined by the Community and Economic Development Administrator not to warrant improvements to the entire site. If the applicant were to install the 10-foot wide perimeter parking lot landscaping, a reduction in the number of parking spaces provided would likely occur. The proposal includes modifications to an existing site on which no landscaping currently exists. In addition, an existing decorative fence is proposed to be relocated to the north property line, which would provide screening of the project site from the property to the north. Therefore, staff recommends a minimum 5-foot wide landscape strip be provided between the proposed parking lot and north property line. In addition, staff recommends that evergreen shrubs be installed within the 5-foot wide landscape strip to further buffer the northern property from the proposed project. Underground sprinkler systems are required to be installed and maintained for all landscaped areas. The sprinkler system shall provide full water coverage of the planted areas specified on the plan. The applicant will be required to submit a landscape maintenance surety device for a period of no less than three years in sufficient amount as determined by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to temporary occupancy permit. Refuse and Recyclables: Per RMC 4-4-090 in office, educational and institutional developments, a minimum of two (2) square feet per every one thousand (1,000) square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided for recyclables deposit areas and a minimum of four (4) square feet per one thousand (1,000) square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided for refuse deposit areas. A total minimum area of one hundred (100) square feet shall be provided for recycling and refuse deposit areas. The proposal to add 11,526 square feet to the existing 26,322 square foot office building results in a new total building area of 37,848 square feet. Based on the new building area of 37,848 square feet, a minimum of 100 square feet of recyclable deposit areas would be required and 151 square feet of refuse deposit areas would be required for a total of 251 square feet. The existing onsite refuse and recyclable deposit area totals 400 square feet, which exceeds the 251 square foot requirement. The existing refuse and recyclable deposit area is located on the southwest corner of the project site and is fenced with a wood fence. Critical Areas: A seismic hazard area is mapped across the entire project site. See previous discussion under section 3.a. Earth. Staff recommended as a SEPA mitigation measure that project construction be required to comply with the recommendations outlined in the submitted geotechnical report. Parking: The parking regulations, RMC 4-4-080, require a specific number of off-street parking stalls be provided. For structure additions within the Center Downtown zone, only the area exceeding the area of the original structure shall be used to calculate required parking. The driveway regulations, RMC 4-4- 080I.2 require a maximum driveway width of 30 feet for commercial driveways and a minimum spacing of 18 feet between driveways. City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report ATS AUTOMATION EXPANSION LUA15-000478, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of August 3, 2015 Page 10 of 30 ERC/Site Plan Report The following ratios would be applicable to the proposed addition: Use SF Ratio Required Spaces General Office 11,526 (addition) A maximum of 1 space per 1,000 square feet of net floor area, with no minimum requirement. Max: 11.5 Based on these use requirements, a maximum of 12 parking spaces would be permitted for the proposed addition. As a result of the construction of the addition 11 spaces would be removed and replaced with 14 spaces, resulting in a net increase of 3 spaces. The proposed net increase of 3 parking spaces on the site is less than the maximum 12 spaces permitted. The proposed relocated driveway would have a width of 20 feet and the spacing between the driveways would be 110 feet. The proposed driveway would comply with the width and spacing requirements. c. DESIGN REGULATION COMPLIANCE AND CONISTENCY: The site is located within Design District ‘A’. To ensure that buildings are located in relation to streets and other buildings so that the Vision of the City of Renton can be realized for a high-density urban environment; so that businesses enjoy visibility from public rights-of-way; and to encourage pedestrian activity throughout the district. As demonstrated in the table below the proposal meets the intent of the Design Regulations on the basis of individual merit if all conditions of approval are met. Each standard is evaluated and shown with a check mark if compliant with the standard, “N/A” for not applicable to the proposal, and “Not compliant” where the standard is not met. Staff comments are provided following explanation of the standard being evaluated. i. SITE DESIGN AND BUILDING LOCATION: Intent: To ensure that buildings are located in relation to streets and other buildings so that the Vision of the City of Renton can be realized for a high-density urban environment; so that businesses enjoy visibility from public rights-of-way; and to encourage pedestrian activity. 1. Building Location and Orientation: Intent: To ensure visibility of businesses and to establish active, lively uses along sidewalks and pedestrian pathways. To organize buildings for pedestrian use and so that natural light is available to other structures and open space. To ensure an appropriate transition between buildings, parking areas, and other land uses; and increase privacy for residential uses. Guidelines: Developments shall enhance the mutual relationship of buildings with each other, as well as with the roads, open space, and pedestrian amenities while working to create a pedestrian oriented environment. Lots shall be configured to encourage variety and so that natural light is available to buildings and open space. The privacy of individuals in residential uses shall be provided for.  Standard: The availability of natural light (both direct and reflected) and direct sun exposure to nearby buildings and open space (except parking areas) shall be considered when siting structures. Staff Comment: The proposed addition would to be constructed to the north of the existing building and would maintain a 47-foot setback from the residential properties to the north. The proposed addition is 3 stories tall with a maximum height of 41 feet 6 inches. It is not anticipated that the proposed addition would adversely impact the sun exposure to the neighboring residential properties. The proposed addition was designed to allow for adequate light and air circulation to the building and the site. The proposed addition would not result in excessive shading of the neighboring properties to the north.  Standard: Buildings shall be oriented to the street with clear connections to the sidewalk. Staff Comment: The front of the existing building and proposed addition are oriented towards Shattuck Avenue S and provide paved pedestrian connections to the sidewalk, which is proposed to extend along the Shattuck Avenue S frontage. City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report ATS AUTOMATION EXPANSION LUA15-000478, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of August 3, 2015 Page 11 of 30 ERC/Site Plan Report  Standard: The front entry of a building shall be oriented to the street or a landscaped pedestrian-only courtyard. Staff Comment: The front entrance to the existing building fronts on Shattuck Avenue S. N/A Standard: Buildings with residential uses located at the street level shall be: a. Set back from the sidewalk a minimum of ten feet (10') and feature substantial landscaping between the sidewalk and the building; or b. Have the ground floor residential uses raised above street level for residents’ privacy. 2. Building Entries: Intent: To make building entrances convenient to locate and easy to access, and ensure that building entries further the pedestrian nature of the fronting sidewalk and the urban character of the district. Guidelines: Primary entries shall face the street, serve as a focal point, and allow space for social interaction. All entries shall include features that make them easily identifiable while reflecting the architectural character of the building. The primary entry shall be the most visually prominent entry. Pedestrian access to the building from the sidewalk, parking lots, and/or other areas shall be provided and shall enhance the overall quality of the pedestrian experience on the site.  Standard: A primary entrance of each building shall be located on the façade facing a street, shall be prominent, visible from the street, connected by a walkway to the public sidewalk, and include human-scale elements. Staff Comment: The existing building has a primary entrance on the west building façade, facing Shattuck Avenue S. The existing west entrance to the existing ATS building is currently connected to Shattuck Avenue S via an existing vehicular driveway, however under the current proposal a sidewalk connecting the front building entrance would run north along the west façade and connect to the proposed sidewalk along Shattuck Avenue S. A building’s scale refers to its perceived size in relation to a person (i.e., human scale) or neighboring structures (i.e., architectural scale). Examples of human-scaled architectural elements may include: windows, doors, porches, vestibules, stoops, awnings at entrance level, or other ground-level pedestrian amenities that help establish an inviting, pedestrian- oriented streetscape. The height, location and size of the west façade windows, window sills and canopy were designed at a pedestrian scale and to create a relationship with the street and sidewalk. Canopies provide cover for over 90 percent of the west façade.  Standard: A primary entrance of each building shall be made visibly prominent by incorporating architectural features such as a façade overhang, trellis, large entry doors, and/or ornamental lighting. Staff Comment: Canopies are proposed on the west façade of the proposed addition for over 90 percent of the façade. The canopies provide weather protection along the sidewalk connection from the building entrance to Shattuck Avenue S.  Standard Building entries from a street shall be clearly marked with canopies, architectural elements, ornamental lighting, or landscaping and include weather protection at least four and one-half feet (4-1/2') wide. Buildings that are taller than thirty feet (30') in height shall also ensure that the weather protection is proportional to the distance above ground level. Staff Comment: Canopies provide cover for over 90 percent of the west façade. Proposed canopies have a depth of 6 feet, which complies with this requirement.  Standard: Building entries from a parking lot shall be subordinate to those related to the street. Staff Comment: The building entries fronting on Shattuck Avenue S would be primary building entrances and would be treated appropriately.  Standard: Features such as entries, lobbies, and display windows shall be oriented to a street or pedestrian-oriented space; otherwise, screening or decorative features should be City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report ATS AUTOMATION EXPANSION LUA15-000478, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of August 3, 2015 Page 12 of 30 ERC/Site Plan Report incorporated.

Paved walking surfaces of either concrete or approved unit paving; and iii. On-site or building-mounted lighting providing at least four (4) foot-candles (average) on the ground; and iv. At least three (3) lineal feet of seating area (bench, ledge, etc.) or one individual seat per sixty (60) square feet of plaza area or open space. (c) The following areas shall not count as pedestrian-oriented space: i. The minimum required walkway. However, where walkways are widened or enhanced beyond minimum requirements, the area may count as pedestrian-oriented space if the City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report ATS AUTOMATION EXPANSION LUA15-000478, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of August 3, 2015 Page 16 of 30 ERC/Site Plan Report Administrator determines such space meets the definition of pedestrian-oriented space. ii. Areas that abut landscaped parking lots, chain link fences, blank walls, and/or dumpsters or service areas. (d) Outdoor storage (shopping carts, potting soil bags, firewood, etc.) is prohibited within pedestrian-oriented space. Staff Comment: The proposed 11,526 square foot addition results in a total building area of 37,848 square feet on the project site. As the proposed addition results in a total building area of over 30,000 square feet, the proposal is required to provide pedestrian-oriented open space. A total minimum square footage of 793 square feet of pedestrian-oriented open space is required. An 852 square foot plaza is provided to the west of the building adjacent to the Shattuck Avenue S street frontage. No seating is identified within the plaza area; therefore, staff recommends, as a condition of approval, that a revised site plan be submitted at the time of Building Permit review providing at least 3 lineal feet of seating area (bench, ledge, etc.) or one individual seat per 60 square feet of plaza area within the west plaza. The revised site plat shall be submitted to the Current Planning Project Manager for review and approval prior to the issuance of the Building Permit.

Staff recommends, as a condition of approval, that a lighting plan be submitted at the time of Building Permit Review demonstrating compliance with RMC 4-4-075 Lighting, Exterior, On-Site. The lighting plan shall be submitted to the Current Planning Project Manager for review and approval prior to the issuance of a building permit. d. PLANNED ACTION ORDINANCE AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT COMPLIANCE AND CONISTENCY: Not applicable. e. OFF-SITE IMPACTS: Structures: Restricting overscale structures and overconcentration of development on a particular portion of the site. The proposed addition is setback from the existing single family residential development to the north by 47 feet to create significant separation between the addition and the smaller scale residential buildings. Currently, there is no landscape buffer between the existing development and the north property, however, landscaping is proposed to be installed as a result of the construction of the addition. The addition facades have been divided into window bays with glazing recessed into the pane of the brick façade to break up the visual appearance of the façade into smaller increments. The third level of the addition is also differentiated from the brick façade of the lower levels with the use of metal panel cladding that is recessed slightly from the face of the building to reduce the monolithic appearance of the building. The proposed addition would not result in the construction of an overscale structure or an overconcentration of development on the project site. Circulation: Providing desirable transitions and linkages between uses, streets, walkways and adjacent properties. City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report ATS AUTOMATION EXPANSION LUA15-000478, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of August 3, 2015 Page 20 of 30 ERC/Site Plan Report The placement of the proposed addition was made to create a direct pedestrian connection to the sidewalk along Shattuck Avenue S. The entry to the addition was located adjacent to the sidewalk to increase the pedestrian relationship to the building. The height, location, and size of the front (west) façade windows, window sills, and canopy were designed at a pedestrian scale to create a relationship between the addition and Shattuck Avenue S. Loading and Storage Areas: Locating, designing and screening storage areas, utilities, rooftop equipment, loading areas, and refuse and recyclables to minimize views from surrounding properties. As part of the proposed addition, new rooftop mechanical equipment screening will be added. The screening will extend approximately 7 feet above the surface of the rooftop and would be 13 feet 8 inches in width. The materials proposed for the screen include a galvanized steel frame and prefinished 22 GA corrugated metal panel. No changes are proposed to the existing refuse and recyclables deposit area for the building. The existing refuse and recyclable deposit area is located on the southwest corner of the project site, away from the abutting residential development, and is fenced with a 6-foot wood fence. Views: Recognizing the public benefit and desirability of maintaining visual accessibility to attractive natural features. The project site is relatively flat with limited vegetation and no large attractive natural features on or near the site for which to maintain visual accessibility. The proposed height of the addition is appropriate for the situation. The addition of the new rooftop mechanical equipment and associated screening will have limited impacts on the surrounding properties. Landscaping: Using landscaping to provide transitions between development and surrounding properties to reduce noise and glare, maintain privacy, and generally enhance the appearance of the project. See Landscaping discussion under Findings of Fact, Section 17.b. Lighting: Designing and/or placing exterior lighting and glazing in order to avoid excessive brightness or glare to adjacent properties and streets. As stated above, a lighting plan was not provided with the project materials. Staff had previously recommended, as a condition of approval, that the applicant provide a lighting plan with the Building Permit Review. f. ONSITE IMPACTS: Structure Placement: Provisions for privacy and noise reduction by building placement, spacing and orientation. The project is located in an area of commercial and residential uses. The surrounding parcels are zoned Commercial Arterial (CA) and Residential-14. The proposed addition has been located adjacent to Shattuck Avenue S to create a pedestrian relationship with the addition. In addition, the proposed addition would maintain a 47-foot setback from the existing less intense residential development to the north. The proposed addition complies with the required setbacks for the CD zone. The proposed expansion of the office use is anticipated to be compatible with future surrounding uses as permitted in the CD zone. Structure Scale: Consideration of the scale of proposed structures in relation to natural characteristics, views and vistas, site amenities, sunlight, prevailing winds, and pedestrian and vehicle needs. The massing of the proposed addition is most prominently visible from Shattuck Avenue S. The scale and bulk of the building is reduced through the use of differing materials on the building façades and City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report ATS AUTOMATION EXPANSION LUA15-000478, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of August 3, 2015 Page 21 of 30 ERC/Site Plan Report landscaping. Building materials primarily include brick and metal panel siding. The center of the addition, where it connects to the existing brick building, is clad in an aluminum and glass curtain wall system to add a visual break between the addition and the existing building and to reference the vertical glass and metal systems used to enclose the stairways of the original building and to break up the monolithic brick appearance of the west and east facades. The existing building was designed appropriately to allow adequate light and air circulation to the buildings and the site. The design of the structures would not result in excessive shading of the property. In addition, there is ample area surrounding the building to provide normal airflow. The primary building entrance and main parking lot will remain unchanged. The entry to the addition is proposed to be located adjacent to the sidewalk to increase the pedestrian relationship to the building. To accommodate the proposed addition, 11 parking spaces are proposed to be removed and relocated to the north and an additional 3 parking spaces are proposed to be added. In addition, the existing northern entry only driveway would be relocated to the north to accommodate the construction of the addition and new parking area. The remaining surface parking area would remain unchanged. Natural Features: Protection of the natural landscape by retaining existing vegetation and soils, using topography to reduce undue cutting and filling, and limiting impervious surfaces. The site contains a total of 33 existing significant trees. The majority of the existing trees are located along the southern and northern property line. The addition has been sited to avoid the removal of the majority of trees on site. There are 3 trees in the area of the proposed addition, resulting in the retention of 30 existing trees. The applicant has indicated a mature, existing tree, located along Shattuck would remain as a part of the proposed plaza area. The retention of this tree, that is visible to the public, provides a significant benefit to the overall project design and for both the office users and the public. Considering there is proposed construction around this tree, staff recommends an arborist be on site during construction of the plaza to ensure tree protection is sufficient to ensure survival of this tree. The project site is relatively flat; therefore staff does not anticipate that the construction of the proposed site improvements would require undue cutting and filling or excessive impervious surfaces. Landscaping: Use of landscaping to soften the appearance of parking areas, to provide shade and privacy where needed, to define and enhance open spaces, and generally to enhance the appearance of the project. Landscaping also includes the design and protection of planting areas so that they are less susceptible to damage from vehicles or pedestrian movements. The landscaping is used to provide a transition between the existing development and the abutting properties or adjacent public spaces. Landscaping has been incorporated into the surface parking area, in the form of a planter islands, and around the front of the building to soften the appearance. The landscaping will provide shade and privacy where needed and will enhance the appearance of the site if all conditions of approval are complied with. g. ACCESS: Location and Consolidation: Providing access points on side streets or frontage streets rather than directly onto arterial streets and consolidation of ingress and egress points on the site and, when feasible, with adjacent properties. The project site has two existing primary points of access off of Shattuck Avenue S. One entry only driveway is located on the north side of the existing building and a second exit only driveway is located on the south side of the existing building. A gated secondary emergency access is located where Whitworth Avenue S terminates at the north property line. In addition, an existing alley serving the residential development to the north terminates at the north property line. The alley is not encouraged for use by the employees of ATS, however access from the alley is not precluded.

A drainage report dated May 4, 2015 was submitted by LPD Engineering PLLC with the site plan application. The redevelopment project is subject to Full Drainage Review in accordance with the 2009 King County Surface Water Manual and City and The City of Renton Amendments to the KCSWM, Chapters 1 and 2. All core and special requirements have been discussed in the report. The 0.95 acre site consists of 0.182 acres of impervious surface area (existing building, asphalt and gravel), and 0.768 acres of existing landscaping. There is an existing two story building (to be retained) on the site. The applicant is proposing to build a 4,100 square foot addition at the north end of the existing building. Based on the City’s flow control map, this site falls within the Peak Rate Flow Control Standard, Existing Conditions. The engineer has shown that flow control is not required for this project since the targeted surfaces will generate less than 0.1 cfs increase in the existing site condition 100 year peak flow. The project is subject to a Level 1 downstream analysis. Stormwater runoff from the site drains to a series of catch basins and pipe systems in Shattuck Ave South, Rainier Ave South and SW 7th Street where it ultimately discharges into the Black River. No downstream flooding or erosion issues were identified in the report. The proposed project will create a new 7,181 square foot asphalt parking lot. Water quality treatment under Core Requirement No. 8 will be required. The engineer has shown a wet vault and a Stormfilter system at the west end of the parking lot. 3. A Construction Stormwater General Permit from Department of Ecology will be required if grading and clearing of the site exceeds one acre. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for this site. Transportation: 1. Existing right of way width in this section of Shattuck Ave South is 60 feet. There is an existing 8 foot sidewalk along the east side of Shattuck Ave South, north of the site. This site falls within the City Center Community Planning Area. Per City code, a 12-foot sidewalk with street trees and tree grates are required. To install these improvements, approximately four feet of dedication of right of way would be required. The applicant is requesting a modification to the street standard. Request is to install and match the existing 8-foot sidewalk along Shattuck Ave South. A connection from the sidewalk at the corner of Shattuck Ave South and South 4th Place to the sidewalk fronting the site will need to be made. 2. Installation of LED street lighting may be required fronting the site if lighting levels do not meet city code. 3. Traffic impact fees will be assessed based on the use of the new addition. Fees will be assessed and are payable at building permit issuance. Fire: 1. The fire impact fees are applicable at the rate of $0.14 per square foot of additional office area. Fees are paid at time of building permit issuance. 2. The preliminary fire flow requirement is 2,500 gpm based on a fully fire sprinklered building. A minimum of three fire hydrants are required. One fire hydrant is required within 150 feet of the proposed building and two hydrants within 300 feet. One new hydrant shall be required to be installed on the east side of the building to coincide with new fire apparatus access in that area. 3. The existing fire alarm, fire sprinkler and fire standpipe systems are required to be extended into the proposed addition. Separate plans and permits are required to be submitted to the Renton Fire Department for review and permitting. 4. Fire Department apparatus access roadways are required to be a minimum of 20 feet wide fully paved, with 25 feet inside and 45 feet outside turning radius. Fire access roadways shall be constructed to support a 30 ton vehicle with 322 psi point loading. Access is required within 150 feet of all points on the buildings. Proposed access around the proposed addition does not meet any of our requirements and shall be revised or alternate access shall be proposed Police: 1. To protect materials and equipment it is recommended that all materials and tools be locked up when not in use. 2. The site will need security lighting and any construction trailer should be completely fenced in with portable chain link fencing. The fence will provide both a physical and psychological barrier to any prospective thief and will City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report ATS AUTOMATION EXPANSION LUA15-000478, ECF, MOD, SA-A Report of August 3, 2015 Page 30 of 30 ERC/Site Plan Report demonstrate that this area is private property. 3. Construction trailers should be kept locked when not in use, and should also have a heavy duty deadbolt installed with no less than a one and one half inch throw when bolted. Glass windows in the trailer should be shatter resistant. 4. The business should post the appropriate “No Trespassing” signs on the property while it’s under construction. This will aid police in making arrests on the property after hours if suspects are observed vandalizing or stealing building materials. 5. The use of private security personnel to patrol the site during the hours of darkness is recommended. 6. All exterior doors should be made of solid metal or metal over wood, with heavy duty deadbolt locks, latch guards or pry resistant cylinders around the locks, and peepholes. If glass doors are used, they should be fitted with the hardware described above and additionally be fitted with a layer of security film. Security film can increase the strength of the glass by up to 300%, greatly reducing the likelihood of breaking glass to gain entry. 7. Access to the back of the buildings should be limited, preferably with security fencing, as these areas could be vulnerable to crime due to the lack of natural surveillance by business customers or employees. 8. It is recommended that the commercial areas be monitored with recorded security alarm systems installed. It’s not uncommon for businesses to experience theft and/or vandalism during the hours of darkness. An auxiliary security service could be used to patrol the property during those times. It is important to direct all foot traffic towards the main entrance of the buildings. Any alternative employee entrances should have controlled access doors to prevent trespassing. 9. All areas of this project need to have adequate lighting. This will assist in the deterrent of theft from motor vehicle (one of the most common crimes in Renton) as well as provide safe pedestrian travel for both employees and customers. 10. Both structures should have building numbers clearly posted with numbers at least 12 inches in height and of a color contrasting with the building. This will assist emergency personnel in locating the correct location for response. 11. Landscaping should be installed with the objective of allowing visibility – not too dense and not too high. Too much landscaping will make customers and employees feel isolated and will provide criminals with concealment to commit crimes such as burglary. 12. It is highly recommended that the developer have a Renton Police Crime Prevention Representative conduct a security survey of the premises once construction is complete. General: 1.
