The proposal will also increase the height limit of large freestanding sign from 60 feet to 115 feet in order to allow sign visibility above tree line. PROJECT LOCATION: Employment Area Valley OPTIONAL DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE,MITIGATED(DNS): As the Lead Agency,the City of Renton • has determined that significant environmental impacts are unlikely to result from the proposed project. Therefore,as • • permitted under the RCW 43.21 C.110,the City of Renton is using the Optional DNS process to give notice that a DNS is likely to be Issued. Comment periods for the project and the proposed DNS are integrated into a single comment period. There will be no comment period following the issuance of the Threshold Determination of Non-Significance(DNS). A 14- day appeal period will follow the issuance of the DNS.

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done)and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write"do not know"or"does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS(part D). For nonproject actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs), the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer,"and"affected geographic area,"respectively.

The proposed code amendment allows the height of this large freestanding sign to increase from 60 feet to !115 feet. The increased height allowance will permit this type of sign to rise above the mature full-growth tree line. In addition,the proposal limits the applicability of this section of code to big box retail uses in buildings over 350,000 square feet in size that are located in the Employment Area Valley. Existing code language is vaguely worded and open to wide interpretation. The code amendment will permit higher signs only for larger, big-box retail uses located within large buildings. 4-2-080B • * 0 • B.
