ENVIRONMENTAL (SEPA) DETERMINATION OF
NON-SIGNIFICANCE (DNS)
PROJECT NUMBER: PR22-000002 / LUA22-000247, ECF
APPLICANT: Chip Vincent, City of Renton, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057
PROJECT NAME: Docket 17 Group B
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review for the following non -
project items: D-213 Commercial Parking for Mixed Use Projects. Current standards for mixed use projects blend uses for
a combined parking requirement. However, the future use of most mixed use projects is not known as the project is
entitled and then later constructed. Staff recommend adopting the same parking standard as shopping centers for mixed
use buildings. D-214 Battery Energy Storage Systems. This is a new land use the City has not previously considered. A
property owner is interested in allowing this use on their property. The City adopted a moratorium to allow time to
evaluate and consider appropriate regulations and requirements for the use. Also, which zones are appropriate for the
use. D-215 Dwelling Units in the CO Zone. The Commercial Office zone historically was limited to only commercial and
office uses. A few years ago, the City allowed residential development to occur in the zone when it is located in close
proximity to frequent transit such as Bus Rapid Transit or the Sounder commuter rail line. However, the City would like to
establish a maximum amount of residential use allowed so that opportunity for commercial and office uses are not ero ded
over time. D-216 Special Fence Permits. Currently code is silent on criteria and decision making regarding approval or
denial of special fence permits. Staff recommend adopting such standards. D -217 Personal Delivery Devices. This new
technology is not currently used in the City. Some local jurisdictions have adopted or are considering how and with what
conditions such a use may be allowed. D-218 Rezones in the TOD Subarea proposes to rezone several parcels from
Industrial zones to Commercial zones. D-219 Condominium Recording Documents. For this item staff are recommending
that condominium recording documents be required to the city for review and comment prior to them being recorded
with King County.
