Environmental Review Committee
Department of Community & Economic Development
The City of Renton Environmental Review Committee has determined that it does not have a probable significant adverse
impact on the environment. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). This
Determination of Non-Significance is issued under WAC 197-11-340. Because other agencies of jurisdiction may be
involved, the lead agency will not act on this proposal for fourteen (14) days. Per WAC197-11-340(2)(c) any person,
affected tribe, or agency may submit comments to the City within fourteen days of the date of issuance of the DNS.
Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 p.m. on September 26, 2022. Due
to the ongoing state of emergency enacted by Governor’s Proclamation 20-28.14 (and as amended), the City Clerk’s Office
is working remotely. For that reason, appeals must be submitted electronically to the City Clerk at cityclerk@rentonwa.gov
or delivered to City Hall 1st floor Lobby Hub Monday through Friday. The appeal fee, normally due at the time an appeal
is submitted, will be collected at a future date if your appeal is submitted electronically. Appeals to the Hearing Examiner
are governed by RMC 4-8-110 and additional information regarding the appeal process may be obtained from the City
Clerk’s Office, cityclerk@rentonwa.gov.
