The subject site is located in the downtown area, and signage is subject to the City Center Sign Regulations (RMC4-4-100:H). The following sum_marizes your request, project background, analysis, and decision. Summary of Request Karen Downer has requested a modification from RMC 4-4-100 H.4.b to be permitted to install one sign on a building that lists all tenants (including second floor tenants), where the Code limits projecting signs to tenants on the ground level. In addition, a modification is requested from RMC4-4-100H.5.d.(4) which limits the height of projecting signs to not more than 25 feet above grade, measured to the top of the sign. The proposed sign is located approximately 29 feet above grade. The modification has been requested in order to be allowed to locate the sign more than 25 feet above grade. Analysis The subject site is zoned Center Downtown (CD). RMC Section4-4-100H.9 allows the Planning Director to grant modifications from the City Center Sign Standards and Regulations, for individual signs which do not meet the specific provisions of the city Center sign standards when the proposed sign is intended to accomplish one of the following purposes (RMC 4-4-lOOH.9.a): i. Respond to the needs of the public in locating a business establishment; or ii. Assist business in contributing to the economic well-being of the c_ommunity; or iii. Install a sign that is considered to be historic or of historic value by the advertising industry or a recognized historic preservation organization, provided that such entity was not involved in the use, design or production of the proposed sign; or iv. Result in a reduction of signs on a site; or v. Result in a reduction in the number of freestanding or ground signs otherwise allowed; or vi. Result in a coordinated sign plan for a multi-tenant building or multiple building complex. Renton City Hall • 1055 South Grady Way • Renton,Washington 98057.-• rentonwa.gov • If the Planning Director determines that the intent of the proposed sign accomplishes one of the above purposes, the Planning Director may grant a modification request provided the proposed sign also meets all of the following criteria: i. The modification will not create a significant adverse impact to other property or improvements in the immediate vicinity of the subject property; and ii. The modification will not increase the number of signs allowed by this Chapter; and iii. The modification will not increase the allowed height or area of any wall, projecting, awning/canopy/marquee/traditional marquee, or secondary sign by more than twenty five percent (25%); and iv. The modification will not increase the allowed height or area of any freestanding or ground sign; and v. The modification does not create a public safety hazard. The proposal meets RMC 4-4-lOOH.9.a i and ii in that it responds to the needs of the public in locating a business establishment, and assists the business in contributing to the economic well-being of the community. In addition, the proposal meets RMC4-4-100H.9.a.iv in that it would reduce the overall number of signs, than if individual tenants sought permits for separate signs. And, the sign meets RMC 4-4-lOOH.9.a.v in that it is a coordinated sign plan for a multi-tenant building. The proposal also meets RMC4-4-100H.9.b.i -v in that it does not create a significant adverse impact to other properties in the area; it does not increase the number of signs allowed; is does not increase the allowed height by more than 25%; and, it does not create a public safety hazard. Decision The requested modifications from the City Center Sign Regulations, RMC 4-4-lOOH.4.b. and RMC 4-4- lOOH.5.d.(4) are Approved. This decision to approve the proposed modifications is subject to a fourteen (14} day appeal period from the date of this letter. Any appeals of the administrative decision must be filed with the City of Renton Hearing Examiner by 5:00 pm, January 22, 2010.

We have devoted considerable time, energy and money in this project and after many meetings with the previous sign permrt tech (Ion Arai) and the Community Development Project Manager (Jennifer Davis Hayes) we were assured that there would be no problems with the proposed signage. Per the Plan Review Comments, the proposed sign does not meet code (RMC 4-4-100H.9) as one of the three tenants occupies the second floor of said building. We ask for a modification to allow one sign for the entire building and all tenants (2 ground floor and 1 second floor). Also noted is the stipulation that per RMC 4-4-100H.5h we meet the size res1'rictions. The proposed sign has an overall square footage of 41.67 per face -well within the 100 s.f. maximum. The placement is well above the 8' clearance required for the public right of way. While we are exceeding the mounting height (maximum 25' AFF to top of sign -we are at 29' AFF). Also attached is the revised drawing for the sign which shows the minor change discussed with Jerry Wasser (going from 4 panels down to three). The sign cabinet has not changed.
