Location: 4615 NE 4th Street : Comments: ' • ' Denis Law r City of . -Februa-ry28,..:2:,::r~---~~---,~JJID1l Kay Stallworthy Cadence Development 8480 East Orchard Road, Suite 2400 Greenwood Village, CO 80111 Department of Community and Economic Development Alex Pietsch, Administrator SUBJECT: SHERWIN WILLIAMS PARKING CODE MODIFICATION -4615 NE 4TH STREET, (FILE NO: WA 11-004, 6110033) Dear Ms. Stall.worthy, We have reviewed your request (received January 31, 2011) for a parking modification to the proposed Sherwin Williams retail paint store. The store is proposed at the southwest corner of Duvall Ave NE and NE 4th Street, addressed at 4615 NE 4th Street. The proposal is to construct a 3,871 square foot Sherwin Williams retail building, create surface parking for 16 vehicles, and install landscaping and a plaza. RMC 4-4-08DF requires that retail sales uses provide a minimum and maximum of 2.5 parking spaces per 1,000 s.f. of net floor area. The net floor area of the proposed building would be approximately 3,744 s.f. wh·ich requires 9 vehicle parking stalls. A modification from RMC4-4-080F is requested in order to exceed the maximum number of stalls by 7, thus creating 16 parking stalls. I. SUMMARY & ANALYSIS OF THE REQUESTED PARKING MODIFICATION: Exceed the maximum number af parking stalls permitted per Renton Municipal Cade Section 4-4-0BOF by 7 stalls, resulting in 16 parking total stalls an the site. The size of the proposed retail store is 3,871 gross square feet. Approximately 127 feet is deducted for restrooms, yielding a net floor area of 3,744 square feet. A total of 9 parking stalls are required fat the proposed use {3,744 s.f. x.0.0025 = 9.36 parking stalls), and the applicant is providing 16 parking stalls. The modification is needed to exceed the maximum permitted parking by 6 stalls. Staff supports the applicant's request to be allowed to construct additional surface parking stalls on the site. The applicant states that this Sherwin Williams prototype typically provides 20 surface parking stalls. The applicant has reduced that number ta 16 in order to provide the minimum number needed to serve customers. The site is located in a commercial area, on the corner of two arterial streets. Street parking is not available on either NE 4th Street or Duvall Avenue N.E. In addition, customers typically drive to the site, rather than take public transportation, to purchase multiple gallons ofpaint. The proposed retail store hos a need to provide adequate parking for customers, vendors, employees, and deliveries. The proposed parking would provide for two accessible parking stalls. Landscaping with planter islands is proposed at intervals of every 4 to 6 parking stalls. The Renton City Hall • 1055 South Grady Way • Renton, Washington 98057 • rentonwa.gov • proposal would meet the following criteria as specified in Renton Municipal Code Section RMC 4- 9-250D.2: A. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment; and The proposal would locate parking on the west portion of the site, abutting the proposed building. Surface parking would be confined to the interior portion of the lot. Landscaped islands would be installed_ within the parking field. All but one of the stalls would meet minimum size requirements required by Renton Municipal Code {9' x 20' standard, and 8- 1/2' x 16' compact, and two van accessible handicapped stalls). One stall is proposed to be 8 feet in width and is undersized. A 30-foot wide two-way drive aisle for maneuvering is proposed. Staff recommends that the applicant reconfigure the parking design slightly to meet the minimum dimensional stall standards. In addition, the two-way drive aisle width should be reduced to 24 feet in order to reduce impervious surface and meet the minimum landscaped width of 5 feet along the west boundary of the parking lot. This would result in the proposal complying with the objectives, safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the Code. Staff recommends that the applicant to provide revisions to the site plan and landscape plan and submit these to the Current Planning Project Manager as part of the building permit review. B. Will not be injurious to other property(s) in the vicinity; and The proposal to innease the number of parking stalls over the maximum amount allowed by Code would not injure other property(s) in the vicinity. The requested revisions are internal to the site, and will provide additional parking allowing for accommodation of customers employees, vendors, and deliveries. C. Conform to the intent and purpose of the Code; and The revisions generally conform to the intent and purpose of the Code. The increase in parking will allow the tenant (Sherwin Williams) to accommodate parking on site, and will provide for handicapped accessible parking stalls near the building entrances. The new parking area would provide landscaping islands such that no more than 6 parking stalls would be created without an intervening landscaped island. In order to support the additional parking stalls and required landscaping, staff recommends that the applicant be required to reduce the two-way parking aisle to 24 feet and increase the landscape bed to a minimum of 5 feet along the west site boundary. In addition, the one stall that is shown with a width of 8 feet, should be revised to a minimum width of 8-1/2 feet. These changes should be submitted as part of the building permit review process. D. Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and, The request is reasonable for the intended purposed and situation. The applicant typically programs 20 parking stalls for this size of retail store. They have proposed 16 stalls in a • ' spirit of cooperation, and have proposed landscaping that exceeds minimum requirements. Furthermore, there is no other alternative for parking in the vicinity, as there is no street parking available near the subject site. E. Will not create adverse impacts to other property (ies} in the vicinity. Modification of the parking to add 7 additional stalls will not adversely impact other properties in the vicinity. All of the proposed parking will be located on the interior of the site, and additional landscaping would be added to diminish the appearance of large parking fields. II. DECISION: The requested parking modification has been evaluated and analyzed per the criteria specified in Renton Municipal Code Section RMC 4-9-250D.2. Based on this analysis, the Parking Modification is approved subject to the following condition: Conditions of Approval: 1. The applicant shall reconfigure the parking lot design to meet the minimum dimensional stall standards of 9 feet x 20 feet and 8-1/2 feet x 16 feet. In addition, the two-way drive aisle width should be reduced to 24 feet in order to reduce impervious surface and meet the minimum landscaped width of 5 feet along the west boundary of the parking lot. This administrative land use decision will become final if not appealed in writing to the Hearing Examiner on or before 5:00 p.m. on March 14, 2011. Appeals to the Examiner are governed by City of Renton Municipal Code Section 4-8-110.

Dear Mr. Vincent and Mr. Wasser: We are submitting for a parking modification at the project located at 4615 NE 4th Street. This property is located in the Urban Design District D. The proposed site plan currently shows 15 parking spaces versus the required maximum of 10 spaces (2.5 per 1,000 square feet ofretail space). The tenant interested in this site is a national credit, paint retailer, Sherwin Williams. The tenant feels that most of its customers will be driving to the site to purchase paint, rather than walk with several gallons of paint. Sherwin Williams' prototype calls for 20 spaces, but in an effort to try and cooperate without dainaging their business, they have agreed to 15 spaces. For those customers that will be walking or cycling, we have designed a site that creates pedestrian circulation, allows for pedestrian access from NE 4th Street as well as Duvall, has a bike rack as well as a pedestrian plaza with an entrance to the building. In addition to the parking requirements, we have been working on meeting the other standards for the Design District D including orienting the building to the street, pedestrian connectivity with both streets as well as to the adjacent lot, creating a building with architectural interest with two prominent entrances, building articulation and varying roof profiles. We have also designed a pedestrian oriented plaza at the comer of NE 4th Street and Duvall with appropriate landscaping and lighting. We request that you please approve the parking modification, so that Sherwin Williams can successfully operate and so we can bring the site up to code to create a vibrant and interesting comer.
