The purpose of the memo is to request approval of the proposed parking supply to accommodate the Home Depot project. This parking analysis includes a project description and parking supply summary, documentation of minimum code required parking, and estimated peak parking demand forecasts based on parking demand studies conducted at existing Home Depot sites. Project Description The Home Depot Renton project is located at 901 South 7th Street and would consist of 137,242 square feet (SF) of building area for a home improvement store. Additionally, the Home Depot would include 8,094 SF of outdoor garden center area adjacent to the building and 10,082 SF of outdoor seasonal sales area located within the parking lot. A current site plan is provided in Attachment A. The existing site is currently vacant but was previously occupied by a 136,918 SF discount club (SamÊs Club) and a gas station with 12 vehicle fueling positions (VFPs). Buildout and occupancy of the Home Depot project is expected in 2022. Parking Supply A total of 331 on-site surface parking stalls are proposed as shown in the site plan (see Attachment A). Of the 331 total on-site surface parking stalls, a total of 55 stalls would be occupied by permanent outdoor displays including the seasonal sales area (42 stalls), the shed display (8 stalls), and the trailer display (5 stalls) and would therefore be removed from the total proposed parking supply. The resulting proposed parking supply is 276 stalls (331 stalls total less 55 stalls occupied by outdoor displays). City of Renton Code-Required Parking The City of Renton requirements for off-street parking are based on Renton Municipal Code (RMC) section 4- 4-080.F.10.d (Parking Spaces Required Based on Land Use) depending on the specific land use category. For the proposed Home Depot, the code-required off-street parking was based on the requirements for retail sales and wholesale retail sales (2.5 stalls per 1,000 SF of net building floor area) and the requirements for Home Depot Renton Parking Analysis TENW July 14, 2022 Page 2 uncovered commercial area or outdoor nurseries (0.5 stalls per 1,000 SF of retail sales area). A summary of the total code required parking for the Home Depot site is provided in Table 1 below. Table 1 Summary of Parking Requirements based on Renton Municipal Code RENTON MUNICIPAL CODE Section 4-4-080.F.10.d Use Size (Square Feet) Minimum Parking Ratio 1 Minimum Parking Required (stalls) Home Improvement Store 137,242 NSF 2.5 per 1,000 SF NSF 343 Garden Center & Seasonal Sales Area 18,176 SF 2 0.5 per 1,000 SF NSF 9 155,418 SF TOTAL 352 1 Minimum parking ratio for home improvement store based on retail sales/wholesale retail sales and minimum parking ratio for garden center and seasonal sales area based on uncovered commercial area/outdoor nursery. 2 Includes 8,094 SF outdoor garden center and 10,082 SF outdoor seasonal sales area As shown in Table 1, based on the proposed 137,242 SF of building area and 18,176 SF of outdoor area, the code-required parking for the proposed Home Depot is 352 stalls. City of Renton Municipal Code section 4-4-080.F.10.c allows for a modification to the minimum number of required parking spaces as follows: Pursuant to this code allowance, the Home Depot is proposing to provide a total of 276 parking stalls which is a 22 percent (%) reduction from the Code required 352 parking stalls. Therefore, a parking demand analysis was conducted for the proposed Home Depot Renton site based on parking demand data collected at four (4) comparable Home Depot sites. Future Parking Demand Estimate To estimate the future parking demand of the Home Depot Renton site, parking demand studies conducted at four comparable existing Home Depot sites and the resulting peak parking demand ratios were used. Existing Home Depot Parking Demand Home Depot Renton Parking Analysis TENW July 14, 2022 Page 3 Data from recent parking demand studies conducted at four existing Home Depot sites in Arizona, Texas, and California were provided by the project applicant. The parking demand studies at the four existing sites were conducted on a Saturday and a Sunday since parking demand for home improvement stores is higher on weekend days than weekdays. Table 2 summarizes the results of the parking demand studies at the four existing Home Depot sites.

Based on the existing Home Depot parking demand data in Table 2, the estimated peak parking demand for the Home Depot Renton site is 220 stalls (155,418 SF X 1.41 stalls per 1,000 SF) on a Saturday. The estimated peak parking demand of 220 stalls on a Saturday would be accommodated by the proposed 276 stall parking supply. Next Steps Based on results of the analysis, the total proposed on-site parking supply of 276 stalls at the Home Depot Renton site would accommodate the estimated peak parking demand of 220 stalls.
