The applicant is requesting a site plan modification to add the following work to the project scope: a. North: Modify the site plan review to include amending the existing soils, new irrigation, new lawn and work to improve existing drainage of the north lawn area. The north parking lot would be upgraded with a 20 inch asphaltic concrete overlay with new curbs, striping, lighting and landscaping to increase existing parking counts. b. South: The south parking lot would be upgraded with a 2-inch asphaltic concrete overlay of the existing parking lot, new curbs, striping, lighting, and landscaping to increase the overall parking count. In addition a new swale and drainage improvements are proposed within the south parking lot. c. West: Replacement of the existing fencing and grass in the same location. Project Description: The applicant received approval of the original project on January 7, 2011. The original proposal did not specifically identify the above improvements to the north and south parking lots. The originally site plan approved a reduction from the required parking stall count of 1,327 spaces to 572 spaces. However, based on an e-mail received from the project applicant on May 1, 2013, attached, the survey used for the 2010 parking count in the land use application was based on the survey.

Project Description: The applicant received.approval of the original project on January 7, 2011. The original proposal did not specifically identify the above improvements to the north and south parking lots. The originally site plan approved a reduction from the required parking stall count of 1,327 spaces to 572 spaces. However, based on an e-mail received from the project applicant on May 1, 2013, attached, the survey used for the 2010 parking count in the land use application was based on the survey. However, the survey did not analyze the parking stalls for compliance City of Renton Department of Com.y and Economic Development Renton Memorial Stadium Renovation Report of May 7, 2013 Administrative I ication Request Report & Dedsion LUAlD-043, SA-A, SME, V-A, MOD Page 2 of4 with the City's requirements for stall size. The applicant analyzed the parking stalls for the proposed asphalt overlay project and found that several of the stalls identified by the original 2010 survey were not laid out properly and were too small to be counted as compact stalls. Furthermore, the survey incorrectly counted the pedestrian zone as 12 parking stalls which were also incorrect. As such, the requested modification to increase stalls from what actually exists in the field would result in a reduction of stalls further than was approved in the original site plan review. Under current conditions the site contains 515 standard stalls, 22 compact stalls and 14 accessible stalls for a total of 551 parking stalls. The modification would decrease standard stalls to 468 and increase compact stalls to 84 resulting in a net increase of 10 parking stalls for a new total of (463 standards+ 84 compact+ 14 ADA= 561 stalls) 561 parking stalls. As such, the proposed changes to increase the parking stall count from 551 to 561 would remain less than required by code but would bring the site closer to compliance with the requirements and the original approval. Therefore, staff supports the change in parking stall counts and the above correction made to the project file. Furthermore, landscaping standards have changed since the site was originally built in 1948, as such in 2011, the applicant requested a number of landscaping variances as follows 1) RMC 4-4- 707F.l, which requires a 10-foot wide landscape strip along street frontages; 2) RMC 4-4- 070F.4.d, which requires a minimum of a 10-foot wide fully sight-obscuring landscape visual barrier; and 3) RMC 4-4-070F.6.b and 4-4-070H.5, which requires a minimum of 35 square feet of landscape area per parking space on the interior of the parking lot and a minimum distance of SO-feet between parking stalls and interior parking lot landscape areas. As a part of the original application the variance was approved subject to the requirement the applicant proposed to maintain the required square footage of landscaping required by the aforementioned code sections by locating the minimum square footage elsewhere on the site. Under current conditions the subject site is landscaped with 8,622 square feet of interior parking lot landscaping. The existing landscape islands in the south parking lot contain mature trees and shrubs. RMC 4-4-070F.6.b requires the applicant to provide 35 square feet of landscaping per parking space, based on the original application of 572 stalls 20,020 square feet of interior parking lot landscaping was required for the overall site. The applicant proposed to provide the remaining required landscaping (11,398 square feet) elsewhere on the subject site in order to preserve as many parking stalls as possible. Based on the corrected 2010 survey parking counts, 561 stalls would require 19,635 square feet of parking lot landscaping which is less than the original approval of 20,020 square feet. The applicant provided landscaping for 572 parking stalls; the existing landscaping would exceed the minimum necessary to meet code requirements. ' City of Renton Department of Com y and Economic Development Administrative Renton Memorial Stadium Renovation Report of May 7, 2013 ication Request Report & Decision LUAl0-043, SA-A, SME, V-A, MOD Page3of4 In addition to the change in parking, the scope of work would update the exiting landscaping in the south parking lot and replace the lighting with new light poles 25 feet in height. The new light poles would be in compliance with the parking lot lighting height standards bringing the project closer to conformance with existing code. Furthermore, new fencing and other site upgrades are proposed. None of these upgrades would change the existing site layout and/or use. The above site plan modification request would not involve more than a 10 percent increase in area or scale of the development or change the boundaries of the original approved plan as the project would not extend beyond the original site of 14.44 acres. The proposed modifications would bring the site closer to compliance with current code standards and would not have a greater impact on the environment and/or public facilities than the original approved plan. ANALYSIS OF REQUEST: RMC 4-9-ZOOH.2. addresses the modifications to Site Plans. Criteria Criteria Met a. Involve more than a ten percent (10%} increase in area or scale of the X development in the approved plan; or b. Have a significantly greater impact on the environment and/or public X facilities than the approved plan; or c. Change the boundaries of the originally approved plan. X DECISION The proposal satisfies 3 of the 3 criteria listed in RMC 4-9-200H.2. for approval of modifications. Therefore, the Renton Memorial Stadium Renovation modification of the Site Plan, Project Number LUAl0-043, is approved and subject to the following conditions: CONDITIONS: 1. The applicant shall comply with the conditions of approval of the original site plan approval, listed in LUAl0-043. 2. A final landscape plan showing only the new landscaping shall be submitted with the Building Permit application for review and approval by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to permit issuance. 3. All existing fire lane striping and signage shall be maintained. All fire apparatus access roadways shall meet minimum requirements including minimum 20-foot wide roadways with 25-feet inside and 45-feet outside turning radius.

Vanessa Dolbee From: Sent: To: Subject: Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Vanessa: Brad Medrud <BMEDRUD@AHBL.com> Wednesday, May 01, 2013 7:50 AM Vanessa Dolbee RE: Parking numbers for Renton Memorial Stadium Follow up Flagged Colbi from Bassetti checked their records on the 2010 project and found that they had used the surveyor's parking count in the 2010 drawings because the parking lots were not in the 2010 scope. When he analyzed the parking stalls for compliance with the City's requirements for the 2013 project, he found that several "stalls" were not laid out properly and were too small to be counted even as compact stalls. The survey also incorrectly counted the pedestrian zone as 12 parking stalls. Another point of clarification, there are 12 ADA stalls in the south lot and 2 in the north lot for a total of 14 on site. This was always the case, but the survey did not show the 2 at the north lot so they were not shown in the 2010 drawings. During construction of phase 2 in 2012 there was a field-generated RFI about it. We corrected the oversight and re-incorporated the 2 ADA stalls at the north side. Regarding landscaping requirements table, Col bi left it unmodified because we are extended the previous exemption. If we lower the parking stall count to make it correct, it would only mean that less landscaping is required on the site. As indicated, we are over the negotiated landscaping requirement by a very large margin and this would just further increase that margin. If you have any questions, let me know.

Pursuant to the old site plan, the project was to have 572 parking stalls (the number used under the Landscaping requirements analysis on sheet Gl.00 of the new submittal). However, in the site parking counts table on sheet Gl.00, it states the site has 551 parking stalls and will increase to 561 stalls. Can you please clarify the discrepancy in parking stall numbers?

The Addendum addresses minor new information for the 2013 maintenance work that was not included in the original SEPA document. The changes are noted in the attached amended SEPA Checklist. An addendum is appropriate when a proposal has been modified, but the changes do not result in any new significant adverse impact. The SEP A MONS for the project issued July 13, 2010, will remain unchanged. As SEP A lead agency, the Renton School District will distribute the addendum to affected agencies and to interested persons. Per the District's SEP A Rules, addend urns do not require a comment period. If you have any questions, please contact Brad Medrud with AHBL, Inc. at (253) 383-2422.

The 2013 project work area expands the original work area by 5.39 acres. The existing use is a stadium and is to remain unchanged. Location of Proposal: The street address is 406 Logan Avenue North. The King County parcel numbers are: 072305-9053 (Stadium) and 072305-9085 (North Parking Lot). Title of Document: Addendum to SEPA Mitigated Determination ofNonsignificance issued on July 13, 2010. Reason for Issuing SEPA Addendum: The Renton School District No. 403 (The Agency) issued a mitigated determination of nonsignificance (MONS) under the State Environmental Policy Act Rules (Chapter 197-11 WAC) for the Renton Memorial Stadium improvements. After review of the completed environmental checklist, MONS, and other information on file, the Agency has determined that this proposal would not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. Conclusion: The Lead Agency has determined that the proposed improvements will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c) and an addendum to the July 13, 2010 MONS is sufficient to satisfy the District's responsibilities under SEPA.

The project is located at 406 Logan Avenue North, Renton, WA 98055 on King County parcel numbers 072305-9053-08 (Stadium), 072305-9085-00 (North Parking Lot) in the SE Quarter of Section 7, Township 23 N, Range 05E. • Land use permits required for proposed project • • • Amended SEPA Review and Determination Modified Site Plan Review with Parking Lot Modification Shoreline Exemption Permit Renton School District No. 403 City of Renton City of Renton • Zoning designation of the site and adjacent properties The City of Renton zoning designation of the project site is Industrial Light (IL). The City of Renton zoning designation of the adjacent properties is Urban Center North 2 (UC-N2) to the north, Urban Center North 1 (UC-Nl) across Logan Avenue North to the east, and across Logan Avenue North on the southern tip of the project; the zoning is Residential lOdu/ac (R- 10). The Cedar River is west of the site. • Current use of the site and any existing improvements Renton Memorial Stadium is the current and proposed use of the site. Page I of 6 " • Special site features (i.e. wetlands, water bodies, steep slopes) Toe Cedar River, which flows north into Lake Washington, is located immediately west of the project site. • Statement addressing soil type and drainage conditions According to the Subsurface Exploration, Geologic Hazard and Preliminary and Geotechnical Engineering report prepared by Associated Earth Sciences in December 2009, man-placed fill, consisting of silt or silty sand with gravel, was encountered below the grass sod. Sediments encountered beneath the asphalt and fill generally consisted of interbedded clean sand, silty sand, clayey and lean silt with occasional lenses of gravel, peat, and other organics scattered throughout the soil column. All storm sewers within the work area drain from non-pollution generating surfaces (building roofs, pedestrian plazas, and landscaped areas) and have direct discharge to the Cedar River. Toe discharge site is outside of the area designated as sensitive to contributing to downstream flooding. • Proposed use of the property and scope of the proposed development Project Memo Site: Toe existing site is approximately 14.44 acres. Toe 2013 modified Site Plan Review area is 5.39 acres. Toe composite site area (2010 and 2013) is 9.69 acres. Toe existing use is a stadium and is to remain unchanged. Activities occurring on-site include football and soccer games, track and field meets, and similar events. Toe 2013 modified Site Plan Review improvements include work to the existing parking lots that will involve asphaltic overlay, replacing curbs, striping, lighting, landscaping, irrigation, and drainage improvements; soil amendment, irrigation, and drainage improvements to the north lawn. North: Toe north field project area is 1 acre. Toe modified Site Plan Review work proposed for 2013 within this area includes amending the existing soils, new irrigation, new lawn, and work to improve existing drainage of the north lawn area. Toe north parking lot work area is 1.02 acres. Work proposed for the 2013 modified Site Plan Review within this area includes adding a 2-inch asphaltic concrete overlay of the existing parking lot, and new curbs, striping, lighting, and landscaping to increase existing parking counts. South: Toe south parking lot work area is 4.42 acres. Work proposed for the 2013 modified Site Plan Review within this area includes adding a 2-inch asphaltic concrete overlay of the existing parking lot, and new curbs, striping, lighting, and landscaping to increase the overall parking count. Additionally, a new swale and drainage improvements are proposed within the south parking lot. West: We will be replacing existing fencing and grass in the same location west of the stadium for the 2013 modified Site Plan Review. East: No improvements are proposed at this location for the 2013 modified Site Plan Review. Page 2 of 6 Memorial Stadium -2013 Parking Lot Improvements 210171.30, Task 60 ' \ ' /' The existing total square footage of all buildings on the site will remain 26,262 SF and the final impervious surface on the site (existing that will remain and new) for the 2013 modified Site Plan Review will be 11.25 acres. Only a small portion of the proposed work for the 2013 modified Site Plan Review will occur within 200' Shoreline jurisdiction. We are proposing to do the following work within the 200- foot Shoreline jurisdiction: • The existing asphalt will be replaced by approximately an equal amount of asphalt paving covering the same area, except the area that will be replaced with the concrete pathway noted below. This is approximately 73,625 square feet of area. • A portion of the existing asphalt will be replaced with a concrete pathway. This is approximately 715 square feet of area. • For plats indicate the proposed number, net density and range of sizes (net lot area) of the new lots Not applicable to this application. • Access The stadium is accessed currently by three entrances onto Logan Avenue North along the east side of the property, two of the entrances at the south parking lot, and one entrance at the north parking lot. No changes are proposed to access to the site. • Proposed off-site improvements (i.e. installation of sidewalks, fire hydrants, sewer main, etc.) No off-site improvements are proposed. • Total estimated construction cost and estimated fair market value of the proposed project The current estimated construction cost for the project is $1.5 million for the 2013 modified Site Plan Review. The estimated construction cost for the area within the shoreline buffer is $220,000 for the 2013 modified Site Plan Review. The fair market values for both are assumed equal to the estimated construction costs. • Estimated quantities and type of materials involved if any fill or excavation is proposed There will be approximately 400 cubic yards of cut and fill for the 2013 modified Site Plan Review. Final grades will remain the same as existing. We do not anticipate any cut and fill work in the portion of the project within the Shoreline Jurisdiction. • Number, type and size of any trees to be removed No trees from the site or within 200' of the shoreline will be removed for the 2013 modified Site Pian Review. Project Memo Page 3 of 6 Memorial Stadium -2013 Parking lot Improvements 210171.30, Task 60 • Explanation of any land to be dedicated to the City No land will be dedicated to the City. • Any proposed job shacks, sales trailers, and/ or model homes There will be no temporary job shacks on the site. • Any proposed modifications being requested (include written justification) Memorial Stadium is more than fifty years old. It was originally constructed before the current parking, loading and driveway regulations (RMC 4-4-80) were adopted. For the 2013 modified Site Plan Review, we are a requesting a modification as allowed under RMC 4-4- 80(10)(d) specifically to the minimum and maximum number of parking spaces required for the Stadium use (RMC 4-4-80(10)(e)). Project Memo For outdoor and indoor sports arenas, auditoriums, stadiums, movie theaters, and entertainment clubs uses the City requires a minimum and maximum of 1 for every 4 fixed seats or 10 per 1,000 square feet of floor area of main auditorium or of principal place of assembly not containing fixed seats, whichever is greater per RMC 4-4-80(10)(e). Given the site constraints of the project in providing required landscaping and avoiding any new impacts to the shoreline buffer of the Cedar River, there is not space on the site to add any more parking. On the site currently, there are 515 standard parking stalls, 22 compact stalls, and 14 accessible stalls for 551 total stalls. For our 2013 project, we are proposing 463 standard parking stalls, 84 compact stalls, and 14 accessible stalls for 561 total stalls and increase of 10 stalls over what is currently on the site. Whenever there are practical difficulties involved in carrying out the provisions of Title 4, the Department Administrator may evaluate the requests for modifications by using the Decision Criteria established in RMC 4-9-250(D)(2). The Depaltment Administrator may grant modifications for individual cases provided ... that a specific reason makes the strict letter of this Code impractical, that the intent and purpose of the governing land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan is met and that the modification is in conformity with the intent and purpose of this Code, and that such modification: a. Substantially implements the policy direction of the po/ides and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the Community Design Element and the proposed modification is the minimum adjustment necessary to implement these po/ides and objectives; The proposed modification will substantially implement the policy direction of the policies and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the Community Design Element and the proposed modification is the minimum adjustment necessary to implement these policies and objectives. The stadium capacity is not being increased beyond what has already been approved, so there will not be additional traffic impacts beyond what already exists on the site and we will be adding 10 additional stalls to go closer towards compliance with the current code. If we did not do this project, the parking situation would not be improved. b. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment; Page 4 of 6 Memorial Stadium -2013 Parking Lot Improvements 210171.30, Task 60 The proposed modification will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment. The stadium capacity is not being increased beyond what has already been approved, so there will not be additional traffic impacts beyond what already exists on the site and we will be adding 10 additional stalls to go closer towards compliance with the current code. c. Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity; Toe proposed modification will not be injurious to other properties in the vicinity. Toe stadium capacity is not being increased beyond what has already been approved, so there will not be additional traffic impacts beyond what already exists on the site and we will be adding 10 additional stalls to go closer towards compliance with the current code. d Conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code; The proposed modification conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code. Toe stadium is an allowed use that has been in existence for more than fifty years. For the stadium to continue to operate, its parking lot needs to be repaved. The stadium capacity is not being increased beyond what has already been approved and we will be adding 10 additional stalls through restriping the current lot to go closer towards compliance with the current code. e. Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and Toe proposed modification is justified and required for the use and situation intended. For the stadium to continue to operate, its parking lot needs to be repaved. The stadium capacity is not being increased beyond what has already been approved and we will be adding 10 additional stalls through restriping the current lot to go closer towards compliance with the current code. f. Will not create adverse impacts to other property(ies) in the vidnity. Toe proposed modification will not create adverse impacts to other properties in the vicinity. The stadium capacity is not being increased beyond what has already been approved and we will be adding 10 additional stalls to go closer towards compliance with the current code. The School District has been able to accommodate use of the Stadium without the additional required parking spaces. Adding 10 additional spaces through this project will improve the site function. We request the City modify its parking space standards as allowed under RMC 4-9-250(D) to allow the Stadium use to continue to operate as it has for more than fifty years.

Construction operations will occur during days and hours that comply with City of Renton requirements. We do not expect any operations to occur during weekends or special hours. Hauling routes will be developed by the General Contractor, once contracted, and will be reviewed and approved by the City of Renton prlor to the start of construction. Temporary, short·term noise impacts typical of construction projects will occur with the operation of equipment during construction. Noise impacts associated with construction phases of the project will be limited in duration. Mitigation for general noise impacts during the construction phases will include measures such as using and regularly maintaining efficient mufflers and quieting devices on all construction equipment and vehicles will be taken. Construction activities at the site could stir up dust particles. Construction vehicles and equipment will also be a potential source of exhaust emissions. Watering the ground as needed before and during clearing and grading activities will control dust particles. Vehicles that are not being used in construction activities will be shut off. The scope of this project does not include work within the right-of·way of any public ways. No Impacts to local traffic are expected, thus we do not expect a traffic control plan will be required.

One of the items that we discussed at the meeting was that a portion of the site is within 200 feet of the ordinary high water mark of the Cedar River, which Is a Class 1 water of the state. Because of that, our project must comply with the City's Shoreline Master Program. At our meeting, you noted that if we could demonstrate that our work on the project within the City's shoreline jurisdiction met the maintenance and repair exemption set out in WAC 173-27-040, we would be able to submit for a Shoreline Exemption instead of a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for the project. Bassetti Architects has prepared the attached site plan that shows the extent of the proposed maintenance and repair work within the City's Shoreline Jurisdiction, and a table summarizing the work. We believe that our work falls under the "normal maintenance and repair" provisions of WAC 173-27-040(2)(b), which states: 'Wormal maintenance or repair of existing structures or developments, including damage by accident, fire or elements. "Normal maintenance" includes those usual acts to prevent a decline, lapse, or cessation from a lawfully established condition.

One of the items that we discussed at the meeting was that a portion of the site is within the floodplain. Because of that, our project must comply with the City's requirements for flood elevations. At our meeting, you noted that we would need to prepare a letter to document that we do not need to complete a biological assessment because the flood elevations will remain unchanged. For the 2013 project, the north lawn area is the only area where work is proposed within the 100-year floodplain of the Cedar River, which Is located approximately 250 feet west of the site, but outside of the riparian buffer zone as defined in Appendix 4, page 222 of the Biological Opinion. Fish habitat function will not be affected directly or indirectly by the project, as work will occur in an area already altered and developed, and the proposed grades of the site will remain the same as the existing grades. Floodwater storage within the 100- year floodplain will be rectified and compensated for through a balanced cut and fill program that will not cause fish stranding during flood events. The project has been evaluated for indirect effects to the floodplain and will not require mitigation because: a) The project will not alter the volumes of stormwater reaching the river, and frequency, timing, and duration will not be altered from the existing conditions; b) Proposed grades of the site will remain the same as the existing grades; c) d) Alterations to the bank of the Cedar River are not proposed; The project Is not located in an active channel migration zone based on King County maps; CIVll En,9in8crs Struct'.lrc1/ Cngrnee:s Landsc2pe Architects Land Surveyors Neighbors TACOMA 2215 North 30th Street Suite 300 Tacoma, WA S8403-3350 253.3831422 m 253.383.25-n w www.ahbl.com Ms. Vanessa Dolbee April 5, 2013 210171.30, Task 60 Page 2 of 2 e) The project will not interfere with the current natural exchange of flow between surface water, groundwater, and the hyporheic zone; f) Wetlands are not proposed to be impacted; and g) Large woody debris will not be removed from the floodplain.

However, the implementation of a temporary sediment and erosion control plan using Best Management Practices should mitigate impacts. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Jn 2013, with the addition of the swale in the south parking lot, it is anticipated that the existing impervious surface coverage {approximately 75 percent) would be reduced h· 1,120 SF. In 2010, it is was anticipated that approximately 75 percent (includes playfield) of the site will be was covered with impervious surfaces after the completion of the proposed improvements. This will be was close to the impervious surface coverage that is currently was on the site. h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: The proposal will follow the stormwater management design criteria outlined in the City of Renton Surface Water Design Manual and erosion and sediment control plans will be developed in accordance with the standards referenced by the City of Renton. 2. AIR a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. Construction activities at the site could stir up dust particles. Construction vehicles and equipment will also be a potential source of exhaust emissions. After project completion, the primary sources of emissions will be automobile SEPA Environmental Checklist -Page 9 AMENDED FINAL VERSION -April 5, 2013June HI, 2010 RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT Environmental Checklist Form and bus traffic from staff, students and visitors to the stadium. The amount of emissions after construction will be similar to those presently found at the site. b. Are there any off-site sources of emissions or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. There are no known off-site sources of emissions or odors observed that might effect this proposal. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: Watering the ground as needed before and during clearing and grading activities will control dust particles. Vehicles that are not being used in construction activities will be shut off. 3. WATER a. Surface Water 1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, and wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. The Cedar River, which flows north into Lake Washington, is located immediately west of the project site. 2) Will the project require any work over, in or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. Yes, in 2010 some maintenance work will be was performed on a small portion of the site within the 200' of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) of the Cedar River. Maintenance work will consisted of asphalt grind and overlay, replacement fencing, and new plantings to be located within existing planter strips. In 2013, the work will consist of an overlay of the existing parking lot, SEPA Environmental Checklist -Page JO AME:'1/DEn FINAL VERSION -April S, 2013,lune 10, 2010 RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT Environmental Checklist Form replacement of the existing curbs, and replacement of the landscaping in the existing landscaping islands.

Describe the general SEPA Environmental Checklist -Page 11 A:\,1El\DED FINAL VERSION -April 5, 2013June Hl. 201() RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT Environmental Checklist Form size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve. No waste material will be discharged into the ground. The site is connected to sanitary sewer. c. Water Runoff (including storm water) 1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe. All storm sewers within the 2010 work area drained from non-pollution generating surfaces (building roofs, pedestrian plazas, and landscaped areas) and have direct discharge to the Cedar River. The parking areas are pollution generating surfaces; we will do not anticipate needing any changes to the storm svstem as part of our maintenance work. The discharge site is outside of the area designated as sensitive to contributing to downstream flooding. The existing drainage svstem onsite will not be disturbed during the site improvements except as required to clean and maintain the existing system. Runoff from new and existing buildings will be connected back to existing drainage structures. Both direct discharge points to the Cedar River will remain the same. No new pollution generating surfaces will be added to the site; therefore, no water qualitv mitigation will be installed as part of this project. The site has direct discharge to the Cedar River; therefore, under the 2009 KCSWDM the site is exempt from providing detention. 2) Could waste materials enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. Within the stadium, there is a potential for waste material to enter the surface waters. Pollutants from automobiles and buses could also enter ground and surface waters if not handled properly. The proposed site improvements do not propose any waste materials to enter ground or surface waters. SEPA Environmental Checklist -Page 12 A\1E:\DED FINAL VERSION -April 5, 2013June rn, 2010 RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT Environmental Checklist Form d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any: Existing measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water included in 2010 a small filtering detention basin near the parking lot entrance on Logan Avenue North. This detention basin discharges to the municipal system under Logan Avenue North. In 2013, a swale will be added along with olher minor drainage improvements. For the proposed site improvements, no measures to reduce or control surface, ground or runoff water impacts are planned, as no new pollution generating impervious surfaces are planned as part of this project. 4.

Section 4-9-200 (J)(l)(b) of the Renton Municipal Code, relating to site development plan reviews, authorizes the City to approve a single two-year extension of the usual two-year expiration. Our records indicate that this project will expire on January 7, 2013. We understand that you are still working to complete this project and will require additional time. Therefore, your request for the two-year extension is hereby granted. You now have until January 7, 2015 to submit on or prior to this date a complete building permit application. Your building permit must be kept in active status to avoid expiration of the underlying site plan approval. You should be aware this is a one-time only extension and if a building permit application has not been submitted by the new expiration date it will become null and void and you will need to resubmit all application materials. I hope this extension meets your needs and that your project can be completed. You may call Vanessa Dolbee at (425) 430-7314 if you have any further questions. Sincerely, (~:. ~.J.;__ ::4 C.E.

The installation is not approved. The following issues shall be met prior to final landscape approval: 1. A mixture of trees, shrubs, and groundcover is required along Logan Avenue N. · As currently planted there are no trees for the segment of frontage landscaping adjacent to Logan Ave. N in front of the field. Please add trees to this section of landscaping. 2. All dead plants shall be replaced with healthy plants. 4 shrubs were identified to be dead on Plan Sheet LS.12 and approxamily 13 dead shrubs were identified on Plan Sheet LS.10. 3. The landscaping between the detention pond and the sidewalk located in the north parking lot was not planted per the approved plans. The identified plant to be planted at this location is a Five-Leaf Akebia (Akebia quinata). Creeping Raspberry ground cover was planted instead. This section will need to be planted according to the approved plans. 4. Seven Incense Cedar trees were not planted as shown on the approved plan sets. It appears they may have died as there were holes in the ground to place the missing trees. The 7 missing Cedar trees are required to be planted. Additional Recommendations: 1. A condition of approval for the subject project was a requirement to not plant vegetation that produces fruit or berries due to the site location near the Renton Municipal Airport. This condition was not met, however the Airport Manager, Ryan Zulauf has approved the vegetation that was planted. Therefore, compliance with this condition is no longer required and the following plants are approved to be located on the subject site: Compact Burning bush, Privet Honeysuckle, and Creeping Raspberry. 2. Weeds and invasive species are popping up in many locations throughout the site landscaping. The City recommends that maintenance be preformed to reduce the potential for weeds to take over the newly planted landscaping. h:\ced\planning\current planning\projects\2010 projects\! 0-043. vaness~\c of o memo _landscape inspection 10-034.doc Larry Meckling Page 2 of 2 July 3, 2012 The project landscaping has not been approved.

The project civil engineer will provide a flood study and compensate for any flood storage required to meet the Reasonable and Prudent Alternative Element 3 -Flood Management Criteria. The project area is within the 100-year floodplain but outside of the riparian buffer zone as defined in Appendix 4, page 222 of the Biological Opinion. Fish habitat function will not be altered directly or indirectly by the project, as work will occur in an area already altered and developed. Floodwater storage within the 100-year floodplain will be rectified and compensated for through a balanced cut and fill program that will not cause fish stranding during flood events. The project has been evaluated for indirect effects on the floodplain and will not require mitigation as (a) the project will not alter the volumes of stormwater reaching the river and frequency, timing and duration will not be altered from the existing conditions, (b) alterations to the bank of the Cedar River are not proposed, (c) the project is not located in an active channel migration zone based on King County maps, (d) the project will not interfere with the current natural exchange of the flow between surface water, groundwater, and the hyproheic zone, (e) wetlands are not proposed to be impacted, and (f) large woody debris will not be removed from the floodplain. Noise impacts associated with School During Construction Applicant/ construction phases of the project District -Contractor will be limited in duration SEPA consistent with the City of Renton's noise regulations.

The subject site is located in the Employment Area Industrial Land Use Designation (EAi) and is zoned Industrial Light {IL) and located at 406 Logan Avenue North. The existing stadium development is comprised of two parcels {072305-9053 and 072305-9085) equaling 14.45 acres; however, the area of impact by the proposed development would be limited to 4.30 acres of the overall site. The proposed renovations would not expand the uses at the subject site nor change the way the site is being used today. Site Plan REPORT.doc City of Renton Deportment of Community & Economic Development Administrative Site Plan ex Variance Report and Decision RENTON MEMORIAL STADIUM REND_VATION WAl0-043, SA-A,_ S/1,,!_E, V-A Report of January 7, 2010 Page 5 of 28 The Renton Memorial Stadium site is triangular in shape. The site is bordered by Boeing parking lots on the north and east sides and the Cedar River and Cedar River Trail to the south and west. Beyond the Cedar River to the west is the Renton Municipal Airport and beyond the small Boeing parking lot to the east is an existing single family residential neighborhood. Proposed upgrades and remodels would include improvements to the plaza, landscaping, fencing, utilities, earthquake safety, accessibility, and fa~ade improvements. No improvements to the parking lots are proposed. On the north side of the field the existing concession/restroom building and ticket booth totaling approximately 857 square feet would be demolished. The existing north grandstands (approximately 5,590 square feet) would receive enclosure, accessibility and finish upgrades. The existing seating capacity for the north grandstands is 1,164 this capacity would remain the same after the proposed improvements. A new concession/restroom/ticketing (2,200 square feet), new field storage building (86 square feet), and new covered viewing area (1,436 square feet) would be constructed on the north side of the field. On the south side of the field the existing boiler building, ticket booth and press box (totaling approximately 1,016 square feet) would be demolished. The existing south grandstands would receive a new press box and reconstruction of all spaces below the spectator seating. There would be no increase in seating capacity in the south grand stand as a result of the proposed improvements. The proposed stadium improvements would include earthquake safety, exiting, energy, and accessibility upgrades. In addition, the fencing around the stadium would be replaced and the reader board sign would be replaced with a new sign. The overall building area would increase by approximately 3,704 square feet however the increased landscaped areas would result in a reduction in impervious area. The applicant has requested a variance from the following of the section of the City's Landscape regulations: 1) RMC 4-4-707F.1, which requires a 10-foot wide landscape strip along street frontages; 2) RMC 4-4-070F.4.d, which requires a minimum of a 10-foot wide fully sight-obscuring landscape visual barrier; and 3) RMC 4-4-070F.6.b and 4-4-070H.5, which require a minimum of 35 square feet of landscape area per parking space on the interior of the parking lot and a minimum distance of SO-feet between parking stalls and interior parking lot landscape areas. The applicant has proposed to maintain the required square footage of landscaped required by the aforementioned code sections by locating the minimum square footage elsewhere on the site. Moreover, the total landscape area proposed for the site would exceed the minimum requirements by 13,522 square feet. The Renton School District was the lead agency that conducted Environmental Review, SEPA, for the proposed improvements. The School District issued a Determination of Non-Significance Mitigated with 14 mitigation measures that addressed earth, air, water, plants, animals, noise, historic and cultural preservation, and public services. The site is located within 85-feet of the OHWM of the Cedar River. The site is also located within the 100-year flood zone and a seismic hazard area. A Wildlife Habitat and Stream Study, Geotechnical Report, and Technical Information Report (TIR) were submitted with the application. The TIR was completed by Coughlin Porter Lundeen, dated June 18, 2010. The report identifies that all runoff from the development site would discharge into the Cedar River through two piped conveyance systems. The proposed improvements would not disturb the existing drainage systems. Furthermore, the TIR identified no upstream water that entered the Stadium site or any problems with the discharge pipes between the site and the Cedar River. However, the provided report is a Site Plan REPORT.doc City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Administrative Site Plan ot Variance Report and Decision RENTON MEMORIAL STADIUM RENOVATION LUAl0-043, SA-A, SME, V-A Report of January 7, 2010 Page 6 of 28 preliminary report and a final report specifically addressing water quality and detention, conveyance, and downstream analysis would be required to be submitted at time of Construction/Building Permit. Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. completed the Preliminary Geotechnical Engineering Report for the proposed development. This report addresses mitigation for geological hazards including slope stability, seismic hazards, erosion hazards, and preliminary design recommendations for the proposed improvements. A mitigation measure of the Environmental Review requires the development to comply with this geotechnical report which would address the seismic hazards and other geotechnical issues that may arise throughout the project. The subject site is located within the Urban Shoreline Environment designated by the City's Shoreline Master Program (SMP). Because the project is within 200-feet ofthe Cedar River, a shoreline of the state, the development must comply with the SMP. Only a small portion of the proposed work would occur within the 200-foot Shoreline Jurisdiction, including replacement of 3,605 square feet of older landscaping with new landscaping, replacement of 850 square feet of existing asphalt plaza area with concrete paving, and replacement of 286 lineal feet of security and ornamental fencing. Theresa R. Dusek, a Natural Resources Ecologist with AHBL, prepared a Fish and Wildlife habitat and Standard Stream Study Report for the proposed development. This report identified that there were no priority habitats associated with the Cedar on or within 100 feet of the proposed development site. However below the OHWM of the Cedar River a 5 -10 foot wide Class 1, Riverine wetland was identified. In addition, the Study addressed concerns about development impacting fish habitat because of the proximity to the 100-year floodplain. Ms. Dusek concludes that fish habitat function would not be directly or indirectly affected by the project based on Appendix 4, page 222 of the National Marine Fisheries Service Biological Opinion and that work would occur in an area already altered and developed. The Stream Study concludes the project, as designed, does not propose to directly or indirectly impact the Cedar River, associated wetlands and buffers, or documented priority species or habitats, including salmon populations. According to Panel S3033C0977 F of the FEMA National Flood Insurance Program's Flood Insurance Rate Maps, a portion of the proposed project lies within a 100-year floodplain (flood zone AE). The only work that would be taking place within the flood zone is the demolition of an existing bathroom building that would be replaced with a flat viewing area. Pursuant to the Coughlin Porter Lundeen TIR the floodwater storage within the 100-year floodplain would not be lost but would actually increase the available flood storage because of the removal of the bathroom building. Rick Huxley, an Architect with Bassetti Architects provided a Flood Proofing Statement with the application. Pursuant to this letter a portion of the west side of the existing North Grand Stands lies within the flood zone but has a minimum finished floor elevation of 34.67 feet which is approximately 4-feet above the floods estimated based flood elevation of 30.75 feet. This open structure is seismically braced and anchored with concrete spread footings. The North Viewing Area which is also proposed to be built within this area has no enclosed areas. The Viewing Area is comprised of a seismically braced steel roof structure on piles with a structural slab floor tied to piles by grade beams. Mr. Huxley has identified that these structures are in compliance with the flood proofing methods criteria in RMC 4-3- 050.

The DNS-M included 14 mitigation measures. A 14-day appeal period commenced on August 27, 2010 and ended on September 24, 2010. No appeals have been filed for the SEPA determination. Compliance with ERC Conditions Based on an analysis of probable impacts from the proposal, The Renton School District No. 403 issued the following mitigation measures with the Determination of Non-Significance -Mitigated: 1. As per the City of Renton Code, a Construction Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (CSWPPP) and Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (TES() will be submitted to the City for review and implemented during the construction phases. 2. Mitigation measures, including Best Management Practices, will be implemented in accordance with theses plans before and during construction. 3. In addition, all work will be implemented consistent with the recommendation of the "Geologic Hazard and Preliminary and Geotechnical Engineering Report" prepared by Associated Earth Sciences in December 2009. 4. The applicant will water the ground as needed before and during the construction phases, including clearing and grading activities, to control dust particles. 5. Construction vehicles are expected to be equipped with factory-installed mufflers and spark arrestors that will control excessive emissions. 6. Materials stored on site (e.g. soil, fertilizer, and pesticides) will be enclosed and/or covered when not in use.

Stormwater design required as a part of site improvements will be based on the requirements ofthe City of Renton's 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), as amended by King County or the City of Renton. 9. Vegetation enhancements in the project work area will be native and/or drought- resistant species. 10. The Renton Memorial Stadium project proposes to retrofit the existing facility with modification of the north viewing area being the only are where work is proposed within the 100-year floodplain to the Cedar River, which is located approximately 250 feet west of the site. The project civil engineer will provide a flood study and compensate for any flood storage required to meet the Reasonable and Prudent Alternative Element 3 -Flood Management Criteria. The project area is within the 100-year floodplain but outside of the riparian buffer zone as defined in Appendix 4, page 222 of the Biological Opinion. Fish habitat function will not be altered directly or indirectly by the project, as work will occur in an area already altered and developed. Floodwater storage within the 100-year floodplain will be rectified and compensated for through a balanced cut and fill program that will not cause fish stranding during flood events. The project has been evaluated for indirect effects on the floodplain and will not require mitigation as (a) the project will not alter the volumes of stormwater reaching the river and frequency, timing and duration will not be altered from the existing conditions, (b) alterations to the bank ofthe Cedar River are not proposed, (c) the project is not located in an active channel migration zone based on King County maps, (d) the project will not interfere with the current natural exchange of the flow between surface water, groundwater, and the hyproheic zone, (e) wetlands are not proposed to be impacted, and (f) large woody debris will not be removed from the floodplain. 11. Noise impacts associated with construction phases of the project will be limited in duration consistent with the City of Renton's noise regulations. 12. To mitigate general noise impacts during the construction phases, measures such as using and regularly maintaining efficient mufflers and quieting devices on all construction equipment and vehicles will be taken. 13. If culturally significant objects are found during site preparation work, the Washington State Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation will be notified, and appropriate measures will be taken. 14. A Fire Mitigation Fee shall be paid to the City of Renton for the increased new area of the building. The fee is $0.52 per square foot of new building and shall be paid prior to the issuance of the building permit for the project.

STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS Representatives fram various City departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address site plan issues from the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the appropriate recommendations have been incorporated into this re part. B. CONSISTENCY WITH SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW CRITERIA The Site Development Plan Review Criteria set forth in Section 4-9-200 of the Renton Municipal Code forms the basis of the Site Plan Review, as follows: 1. Conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, its elements and policies The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation for the subject property is Employment Area Industrial (EAi)_ The Employment Area-Industrial designation is intended to provide continued opportunity for manufacturing and industrial uses that create a strong employment base in the City_ Objective LU-GGG: Sustain industrial areas that function as integrated employment activity areas and include a core of industrial uses and other related businesses and services, transit facilities, and amenities. ~ Policy Objective Met D Not Met Policy LU-299. A mix of offices, light industrial, warehousing, and manufacturing should be encouraged in the Employment Area-Industrial classification, with conditions as appropriate_ ~ Policy Objective Met D Not Met Staff Comment: The Stadium use at the subject site provides little employment and does not fit into the categories identified within Policy LU-299. However, the existing established stadium use, is appropriate for a light industrial zone based on its scale and intensity when in use, therefore this policy has been met. 2. Conformance with existing land use regulations a. Use: The subject site is zoned Light Industrial {IL}. The purpose of the IL zone is to provide areas for low-intensity manufacturing, industrial services, distribution, storage, and technical schools. Uses allowed in this zone are generally contained within buildings. Material and/or equipment used in production are not stored outside. Activities in this zone do not generate external emissions such as smoke, odor, noise, vibrations, or other nuisances outside the building. Compatible uses that directly serve the needs of other uses in the zone are also allowed. b_ Development Standards: As demonstrated in the table below the proposal complies with the development standards outlined in Title IV of the Renton Municipal Code if all conditions of approval are met and the variances are granted.

As such, a landscape buffer is required along the north property line. The provided conceptual landscape plan identifies a landscape buffer varying in width from 35-feet to 8-feet. With the approval of the requested variance, the sections of buffer less than 10- feet would be acceptable. The provided conceptual landscape plan proposes Pacific Wax Myrtle, an evergreen shrub that can grow taller than the minimum 6-foot requirement, to comply with the fully sight obscuring landscaping standards. A comment was received for the Renton Municipal Airport requesting that landscaping at the subject site avoid plantings that attract birds, which would include such plants that produce fruit or berries. Birds are a major aviation hazard and attracting them to the site would result in additional hazards to the large and small aircrafts that use the Renton Municipal Airport. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant submits an updated landscape plan that includes a mixture of trees, shrubs and groundcover for the street frontage landscape strip and includes an updated planting schedule that does not include plants that produce fruit or berries. In addition, an irrigation plan shall be submitted with the final landscape plan unless the proposed landscape areas are designed to be drought tolerant.

In addition, no changes are proposed for parking lot lighting. New exterior light fixtures are proposed to illuminate the grandstand seating areas under roof ' cover, the south arrival plaza, the south grandstand causeways, and the underside of the existing south grandstand, the north fa~ade of the north building and the new flag pole. Comments received from the Renton Municipal Airport, indicated that any new light fixtures shall not cause off sight glare problems that would impact aircraft pilots when flying at night. As such, staff recommends as a condition of approval that a lighting plan be submitted at building permit stage that depicts the direction of the lights, and shall identify that the lights would not result in light trespass or have an impact on the airport. c Parking/Circulation· Use Number of Seats Ratio Reguired SRaces Outdoor Sports 5,306 Seats A minimum and 1,327 Spaces Arena maximum of 1 for every 4 fixed seats Site Plan REPORT.doc City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Administrative Site Plan &. Variance Report and Decision RENTON MEMORIAL STAO/UM RENOVATION LUA10-043, SA:A, SME, V-A - Report of January 7, 2010 Page 17 of 28 Staff Comment: The site currently has 602 parking spaces of which 12 are ADA accessible. After the proposed remodel there would be 572 parking spaces remaining including the 12 ADA spaces. The removal of 30 spaces is a result of landscaping improvements along Logan Avenue North and buffer landscaping along the north property line. Spaces will be taken from the small private parking lot located on the east side of the south grandstands and head-in parking would be changed to parallel parking along the north property line. Pursuant to RMC 4-4-070F .6.e. "where compliance would result in the loss of existing required parking spaces, the landscaping provisions shall prevail and the required parking minimum amount may be reduced without the requirement of a parking cade modification." As such, staff has not provided a parking code modification, but does recommend approval of the reduction in parking spaces to accommodate the required landscaping improvements. The applicant has not proposed any work, beyond the landscaping improvements, in either the north or south parking lot areas as a part of the subject project. Pursuant to the required parking lot calculations the development would be short by 755 spaces. The code designated use, outdoor sports areas, is a correct designation however this particular stadium is mainly used by the Renton School District, which is substantially different than a professional sports stadium. As such, a large number of people that visit the stadium may not be of age to drive or would carpool with others from the area. In addition, the Renton Memorial Stadium has been operating with the 602 parking spaces in the past without significant parking problems. The reduction of parking spaces would have little impact on the existing parking situation at the stadium. Staff recommends approval of the reduction of parking spaces to 572 based on the development's history at the subject site and the lack of significant parking problems in the past. 3. Mitigation of impacts to surrounding properties and uses City staff does not anticipate any adverse impact on surrounding properties and uses as long as the conditions of approval are complied with. The Renton Memorial Stadium has been located at the subject site since 1948 and the subject permit would improve the appearance of the stadium building. The site will have increased screening provided by new fencing and screening landscaping along Logan Avenue North and along the Cedar River Trail and would replace older fencing and landscaping throughout the stadium area. The scale, height, and bulk of the stadium would not be changing as a part of this proposal and are appropriate of the site. The existing stadium would be completely re-sided including such materials as grey CMU veneer, canopies with signs, woven wire mesh, punched metal screen, storefront type panels and new bleacher seating. In addition, structural elements that are proposed to remain would be repainted as follows: steel brackets, dark grey, concert walls, grey, and the underside of the existing concrete seating risers, off-white. The proposed upgrades would improve the aesthetic value of the existing building resulting in a positive impact on the surrounding properties and neighborhood. The Renton Municipal Airport is located across the Cedar River to the west of the subject site. The Airport has expressed concerns about lighting and landscaping and the potential impacts to the Airport if these elements are not designed correctly. See discussion above under Site Plan REPORT.doc City of Renton Department of CommunHy & Economic Development Administrative Site Plan Ol Variance Report and Decision RENTON MEMORIAL STADIUM RENOVATION LUAl0-043, SA-A, SME, V-A Report of January 7, 2010 Page 18 of 28 section 2, conformance with existing land use regulations, for recommended conditions that would mitigate for any impacts to the Renton Municipal Airport. 4. Mitigation of impacts of the proposed site pion to the site The scale, height and bulk of the proposed buildings are appropriate for the site and would be architecturally compatible with surrounding properties. Specifically the scale of the building and the intensity of the use would not be changing as a part of the subject permit. The buildings aesthetic value would improve, as described above under section 3, Mitigation of impacts to surrounding properties and uses. Beyond the cosmetic improvements to the site, as a result of the proposed development, the applicant proposes to demolish a number of small buildings including, two south ticket booths, the south boiler room, a maintenance shed located adjacent to Logan Avenue North, and three small buildings on the north side of the field. These buildings would be replaced with a single ticket booth on the south side of the stadium and a new covered viewing area on the north side, along with consolidated service buildings for concessions, boiler rooms, storage, restrooms, and other necessary functions of a stadium. The end result of the proposed site plan changes would increase plaza area and provide consolidated services increasing the functionality of the stadium for visitors. The new plaza areas are proposed to be re-surfaced with a mosaic of colored concrete and concrete seating platforms and benches. These improvements result in an aesthetically pleasing consolidated plaza area with seating. Furthermore, when the new landscaping is installed throughout the site additional screening would be provided to the parking areas from the stadium plaza area as well as north toward the Boeing parking lot. s_ Conservation of area-wide property values The proposal is expected to increase property values in the vicinity of the site because the proposed development would improve an existing aging building. 6. Safety and efficiency of vehicle and pedestrian circulation Vehicle access to the site would remain the same as it is currently. In addition the parking lot circulation patter in both the north and south parking areas are proposed to remain the same. These facilities have functioned well in the past and are anticipated to continue to function in the same manner as previously. The applicant has proposed to add a pedestrian path that would connect the south stadium to the north stadium. This path would significantly increase the efficiency and safety of pedestrian circulation throughout the site. Without the proposed path pedestrians are required to walk out of the stadium and around the entire site along Logan Avenue to re-enter the north grand stands. As mentioned above under section 4, Mitigation of impacts of the proposed site plan to the site, the improved plaza areas and consolidated services would also contribute to increased pedestrian circulation and efficiency. Furthermore, the proposed remodel would allow for ADA accessibility to the grandstands. Moreover, the proposed improvements would increases the safety and efficiency of pedestrian circulation.

Provision of odequate light and glare Based on the provided plans the remodeled stadiums would maintain the same amount of access to light and air as under current conditions_ The two grand stands are separated by a football field and track, and the grandstands are open to the air but covered to protect the spectators from rain_ The proposed materials are grey in color with some metal features. The metal siding and roof materials may result in a small amount of glare. However, the site is surrounded by parking lots or roads to the north, east, and south. On the west is the Cedar River Trail and the Renton Municipal Airport, based on the angle of the proposed metal roofing it is not anticipated that glare would impact the Airport or pedestrians on the Cedar River Trail. 8. Mitigation of noise, odors and other hormful or unhealthy conditions It is anticipated that the most significant noise, odor and other potentially harmful impacts would occur during the construction phase of the project. A Construction Mitigation Plan that would provide measures to reduce construction impacts such as noise, control of dust, and traffic controls, was provided with the project submittal. The proposed development is not anticipated to generate any harmful or unhealthy conditions_ The activities proposed at the site are traditionally associated with a stadium and have been performed at the subject site since 1948. The proposed renovations would not increase the noise currently created by the existing development. 9. Availability of public services and facilities to accommodate the proposed use The development currently exists at the subject site and currently uses City services_ The proposed re-model would not expand the Stadium's need for public services. Under current conditions there are two, 2-inch domestic water meters serving the site as well as sewer service, and an existing onsite storm conveyance system. Street improvements are currently under construction along Logan Avenue North as a part of a City street improvement project. 10. Prevention of neighborhood deterioration ond blight The proposal is not expected to cause neighborhood deterioration and/or blight. Coordinated site improvements including landscaping, fencing, fa~ade treatments, and pedestrian circulation would be included as part ofthe proposed project. C. CONSISTENCY WITH VARIANCE CRITERIA Section 4-9-2508.5-a. Lists 4 criteria that the Planning Director is asked to consider, along with all other relevant information, in making a decision on an Administrative Variance application. These include the following: The Planning Director shall have authority to grant an administrative variance upon making a determination, in writing, that the conditions specified below have been found to exist: 1. That the applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary because of special circumstances applicable to subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings of the subject property, and the strict application of the Zoning Code is found Site Plan REPORT_doc City of Renton Department af Community & Economic Development Administrative Site Plan 01 Variance Report and Decision RENTON MEMORIAL STADIUM RENOVATION ___ .. _ _ __ LlJ_A10-043, SA-A, SME, V-A Report of January 7, 2010 Page 20 of 28 to deprive subject property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zone classification: Interior Parking Lot and North Buffer Landscape Variance: The applicant contends that the strict application ofthe Landscaping regulations would deprive the property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification. The applicant further contends that compliance with the landscape standards results in a hardship because the subject site has been developed as a stadium for many years and the site layout predates many of the existing landscape regulations. The applicant has indicated that compliance with interior parking lot landscaping standards of 35 square feet per stall and the 10-foot wide buffer landscaping required along the north property line would eliminate approximately 100 parking stalls. A reduction of parking by 100 stalls would result in inadequate parking for the existing facility. Staff has reviewed the applicant's justifications and concurs that strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive the subject property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical classification. In order for the school district to continue to use Renton Memorial Stadium, the facility needs many structural upgrades to meet current building and seismic standards. The building upgrades triggered compliance with all development standards, including landscaping. Under current conditions the subject site is landscaped with 8,622 square feet of interior parking lot landscaping. The existing landscape islands in the south parking lot contain mature trees and shrubs. RMC 4-4- 070F.6.b requires the applicant to provide 35 square feet of landscaping per parking space, resulting in a requirement of 20,020 square feet of interior parking lot landscaping for the overall site. The applicant has proposed to provide the remaining required landscaping (11,398 square feet) elsewhere on the subject site in order to preserve as many parking stalls as possible. The subject site exhibits special circumstances because of the existing development pattern, the properties triangular shape, and critical area constrains resulting from the Cedar River and its associated 100-year flood plain. Specifically, the existing stadium use has a minimum parking need in order for the stadium to accommodate its users. A significant reduction in parking could result in overflow parking on adjacent property and potently impact the surrounding residential neighborhoods. Based on today's development standards 1,327 parking spaces are required for a stadium of the same size. However, currently the Renton Memorial Stadium only has 602 spaces, 725 less spaces than the code requires. RMC 4-4- 070F.6.e. allows the minimum amount of parking stalls to be reduced without a parking modification in order for a development to comply with the landscaping provisions. Based on the applicant's calculations, if the 11,398 square feet of landscaping is provided in the interior of the parking lots and the north buffer landscape strip was required to be 10-feet in width, it would result in a loss of 100 parking spaces. This reduction would have a significant impact to the development and potently the surrounding neighborhoods. The applicant has proposed to provide the required interior parking lot landscaping square footage elsewhere on the subject site, including areas around the South Grandstand plaza and along the east site of the football field near Logan Avenue N. Furthermore the applicant is requesting the reduction of the north buffer landscaping from 10-feet to 8-feet to ease the loss Site Plan RE PORT.doc City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Administrative Site Plan &. Variance Report and Decision RENTON MEMORIAL STADIUM RENOVATION LUAl0-043, SA-A, SME, V:.11 Report of January 7, 2010 Page 21 of 28 parking stalls along this boundary. The 8-foot width allows the existing head in parking stalls to be replaced with parallel parking stalls along this boundary. Overall, the applicant is proposing to partially comply with the landscaping regulations, resulting in a reduction of 30 parking stalls instead of 100. The proposed landscaping results in a total parking count of 572 spaces for the overall site (755 spaces less than required). Moreover, the total landscaping proposed for the site exceeds the minimum square footage requirements by 13,522 square feet, and the buffer landscaping has been averages across the north property line, making up for the width reduction to 8-feet along portions of the north property line. However, the existing landscape islands located in both the north and south parking lots have been neglected and are in need of maintenance and/or new plantings. In order for the existing landscape islands to provide a parking lot screen, landscaping shall be planted and maintained in these islands. As such, staff recommends as a condition of approval that all invasive plants are removed from the landscape islands in the south parking lot and new landscaping is proposed in the north parking lot including trees. Street Frontage Landscape Strip Variance: The applicant contends that because of the location of the existing stormwater facility and the existing adjacent parking area, there is insufficient space to create a landscaped area in this location that will meet the current code requirements. Adding trees, shrubs, and additional groundcover in this particular area will compromise the function of this existing storm water facility by reducing the volume of water below what the facility was originally designed to handle, as well as making necessary maintenance and upkeep of this conventional stormwater facility not possible. The applicant further contends that there is an existing pipe connection on the northwest corner of the storm water facility from the Boeing property to the north, which suggests that any changes to the existing stormwater facility will affect the property to the north. Staff has reviewed the applicant's justifications and concurs that strict application of the Zoning Code would deprive the subject property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical classification. The subject stormwater detention facility is created out of concert block and does not exhibit the traditional grade and slope normally applied to detention facilities. The lack of soil along the walls of the pond results in the inability of the applicant to provide a location for plantings to occur. However, there is approximately 2-feet of level soil that borders the detention pond along Logan Avenue N. This area currently contains a chain link fence. Furthermore, along the remainder of the Logan Avenue frontage the applicant has proposed to install 10 -15 feet of street frontage landscaping and construct a new ornamental fence. The applicant has the ability to move the chain link fence and mount the fence on the concrete block. Once this is done, there would be approximately 2-feet of area that could be either landscaped with screening landscaping or the ornamental fence could be extended the full length of the property frontage and landscaping could be placed between the masonry piers. Based on the existing stormwater detention facilities design and location, in addition to the potential impacts to the property to the north a reduction in the 10-foot landscape strip is justified to 2-feet. The applicant has compensated for the loss of landscaping by adding additional street frontage landscape width to 15-feet in other locations along Logan Avenue N.

That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated: Interior Parking Lot and North Buffer Landscape Variance: The applicant contends that granting ofthe requested variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated. The applicant contends that the proposed variance will result in a project that will meet the required square footage of landscaping in an attractive manner that will create and attractive location, screen the project from the incompatible zoning to the north and benefit the City. Staff has reviewed the request and concurs with the applicant. The requested variance to relocate the interior parking lot landscaping elsewhere on the subject site and reduce the buffer landscape strip to 8-feet in width would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the Stadium is located. By granting the variance from interior parking lot landscaping it would permit the existing parking areas to function at about the same capacity after the remodel as they are functioning today. Permitting the Stadium to maintain the existing parking stalls and relocate the landscaping would result in a benefit to the public as it would elevate the potential for overflow parking to impact the neighborhood or surrounding private property. Furthermore, the Community Design chapter of the City's Comprehensive Plan identifies landscaping as a key element of the City, by framing views, mitigates for large scale buildings, and creates a distinctive neighborhood character. The subject variance request supports this section of the Comprehensive Plan by not only continuing to provide the required square footage of landscaping but by exceeding that requirement by approximately 13,000 square feet. The proposed "relocated" landscaping would provided aesthetic qualities to the Renton Memorial Stadium and at the same time provide a buffer to the commercial zoned property to the north. The existing and established south parking lot landscape islands provide the necessary parking lot screening. Overall the development would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare. Street Frontage Landscape Strip Variance: The applicant contends that granting of the requested variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated. The applicant contends that the proposed variance will result in a project that will meet the required square footage of landscaping in an attractive manner that will create and attractive location and benefit the City. Staff has reviewed the request and concurs with the applicant, for a reduction of the landscape strip to 2-feet. The requested variance to reduce the landscape strip width along Logan Avenue North for approximately 65 lineal feet ofthe frontage along the existing stormwater detention facility and relocated the loss of landscaping elsewhere on the subject site would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the Stadium is located. Impacting the stormwater facility by requiring landscaping could have impacts to the Boeing property located north of the subject Site Plan REPORT.doc City of Renton Department of Communiq1 & Economic Development Administrative Site Plan & Variance Report and Decision RENTON MEMORIAL STADIUM RENOVATION LUAl0-043, SA-A, SME, V-A Report of January 7, 2010 Page 23 of 28 site, as well as change the function of the subject facility. If the 2-foot wide landscape strip is provided along Logan Avenue North with fencing and landscaping or screening landscaping, the existing detention facility would be screened from the public right of way and provide additional parking lot screening that does not exist today. Furthermore, the loss of approximately 520 square feet of landscaping is compensated for along other areas of Logan Avenue North. The relocation of the additional landscaping provides an added benefit to the public because; the landscaping has been relocated along a section ofthe frontage where the typical 6-foot wide street landscaping has not been provided by the City. The additional landscaping on private property will help to compensate for the loss of public landscaping in this area. 3. That approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated: Interior Parking Lot and North Buffer Landscape Variance: The applicant contends that the granting of the requested variance would not result in special rights or privileges being granted to the property owner and that the variance from the landscaping requirements preserves and enhances the landscape character of the City. Staff has reviewed the request and concurs with the applicant, that the granting of the requested variance would not result in special rights or privileges being granted to the property owner. As mentioned under criterion 1., the subject site is constrained by shape, existing development patterns, and critical areas. These constraints result in special circumstances where granting of the requested variance does not result in a grant of special privileges. In addition, relocation of landscaping would result in a positive impact to the surrounding community by maintaining the existing parking capacity at the subject site and at the same time still providing the benefits received from the required square footage of landscaping by providing this landscaping elsewhere on the subject site. Street Frontage Landscape Strip Variance: Staff has reviewed the request and concurs with the applicant, that the granting of the requested variance would not result in special rights or privileges being granted to the property owner if a minimum of a 2-foot wide landscape strip is provided along the northern 65-feet of Logan Avenue North. See justification by the applicant and City above under "Interior Parking Lot and North Buffer Landscape Variance". 4. That the approval as determined by the Zoning Administrator is a minimum variance that will accomplish the desired purpose: Interior Parking Lot and North Buffer Landscape Variance: The applicant contends that the proposed variance is the minimum amount necessary to accommodate the planned action. The proposed relocation of the landscaping is driven by the desire of the applicant to meet the intent of the City's landscape code while allowing a long Site Plan REPORT.doc City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development Administrative Site Plano.: Variance Report and Decision RENTON MEMORIAL STADIUM RENOVATION LUAl0-043, SA-A, SME, V-A Report of January 7, 2010 Page 24 of 28 time existing use to be remodeled and retrofitted for the benefit of the City and the School District. Staff has reviewed the request and concurs with the applicant, that the requested variance to relocate the interior parking lot landscaping and a reduce of the buffer width to 8-feet is the minimum variance necessary to accomplish the desired goal of updating the Renton Memorial Stadium to current building and seismic standards and at the same time accommodate all the new development regulations established in Renton Municipal Code that are triggered by the remodel of the Stadium. Street Frontage Landscape Strip Variance: See applicant's justification above under "Interior Parking Lot and North Buffer Landscape Variance" Staff has reviewed the request and partially concurs with the applicant. The requested variance is for a 0-foot wide landscape strip along Logan Avenue North for the northern 65- feet of the street frontage (in front of the existing storm water detention facility). Staff has identified a 2-foot wide area that could be landscaped in front of the existing stormwater detention facility if the existing chain link fence was relocated. As such a 2-foot landscape strip would be the minimum variance necessary to accomplish the desired purpose of updating the Renton Memorial Stadium. D. FINDINGS Having reviewed the written record in the matter, the City now enters the following: 1. Request: The applicant has requested Site Plan Review and a Variance from the Landscape Regulations of RMC 4-4-070, for the Renton Memorial Stadium Renovation at 406 Logan Avenue North. 2.

The subject site is zone Industrial Light (IL) and located at 406 Logan Ave. North. The existing stadium development is comprised of two parcels equaling 14-45 acres; however, the area of impact by the proposed development would be limited to 3.51 acres of the overall site. The upgrades and remodels would include improvements to the plaza, landscaping, fencing, utilities, earthquake safety, accessibility, and fai;ade improvements. New construction would include a new concession stand, restrooms, field storage area, covered viewing area, new press box, and sign; after the demolition of the existing concession stands, restrooms, ticket booth, boiler building, press box, and sign. Overall, the remodel would not increase seating capacity but would add approximately 3,704 square feet to the development. In addition, the applicant has requested a variance from the City's parking lot and perimeter landscaping requirements, specifically RMC 4-4- 070F.4.d, 4-4-070F.b, and RMC 4-4-070H.S, and proposes to relocate the required landscaping elsewhere on the subject site.

If you could provide me with a date you expect to complete your report, it would be appreciated. 1) When was the stadium originally built? Record drawings indicate the stadium was originally designed and built in 1947-1948. 2) Are the light fixers new or are they being re-used? Is there going to be a new lighting plan for the stadium? The existing field lighting fixtures on existing poles/scaffolding were replaced in 2009, along with the lighting system control as part of the athletic field improvements. Field lighting, parking lot lighting, and lighting in areas outside the project scope is existing-to-remain. New exterior light fixtures will illuminate the following: grandstand seating areas under roof cover, the south arrival plaza, the south grandstand causeways, the underside of the existing south grandstand, the north fa~ade of the north building, and the new flag pole. New fixtures are being installed also at all interior locations. Lighting plans and schedules are found in the E100 and E200 series of the Drawings. 3) The storm drainage report indicated a reduction in impervious surfaces and Gl.OOA indicated a +403 sq. ft. Which is correct and reduction or increases and by how much? The TIR is based on all impervious surfaces on the site, whereas the Gl.OOA looks at building area and adjacent paved pedestrian plazas (a sub-set of the impervious surfaces) in the project scope. For example, the reduction of impervious surface area at the "Private Parking Area" (Related to Question #7 below) is captured by the TIR, but not by Gl.OOA. Both analyses are correct, but examine different subjects. 4) On Sheet Gl.OOA, the North Building has two different square footages 2,078 or 2,072 which is also different then the numbers used in the project narrative. Could you please clarify the square footages of the buildings and the footprints of those buildings as well. The small variations on Gl.OOA are a result of the graphics tool used to generate the diagrams. It is hyper- accurate by default and specific beyond anything real. The North Building is comprised of the main toilet/ concession/ storage building and the ticket booth. Please use 2,100 SF (main)+ 100 SF (ticketing) = 2,200 SF for the North Building and 5,S90 SF for the North Grandstand. 5) Could you provide me with a description of the Refuse and Recycling "plan," i.e. how is the trash picked up, how often, how much is expected, will there be other cans dispersed throughout the stadium etc ... I understand that the site is not used daily and the trash needs may be different than a standard establishment. However, the code requires that in office, educational and institutional developments, a minimum of two (2) square feet per every one thousand (1,000} square feet af building gross floor area shall be provided for recyclables deposit areas 1 and a minimum of four (4) square feet per one thousand (1,000) square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided for refuse deposit areas. A total minimum area of one hundred {100} square feet shall be provided far recycling and refuse deposit areas) This is an operational question beyond the scope of the design team. However, our understanding is that waste is primarily associated with concessions operations and is handled by containers set up by staff for each event as appropriate. The use of the development is a sports arena, so it is not clear to us that it should be classified as an office, school, or institution. Most refuse-generating users of this development will not be indoors, so the spirit of this regulation does not seem applicable. Waste collection areas are called out on Gl.00. 6) Could you provide me the total seating capacity for the stadium once the remodel is complete Based on sheet G0.10, the total occupant load for the South Grandstand seating area is 4,134, the South Grandstand press box is 8, and the North Grandstand seating area is 1,164 for a total of 5,306. 7) 6 parking spaces are proposed to be removed. Where are these spaces being taken out? And Why? To comply with landscaping setbacks and signage setbacks, the "Private Parking Area" east of the south grandstand has been reduced in size along Logan Avenue. Stall striping is being removed to maintain drivability to existing stalls, effectively reducing the parking stall count by five. Additionally, one stall at the southwest corner of the "Private Parking Area" is too near the new adjacent fence line to be considered a usable stall. The total net loss of stalls is six, as indicated on Gl.00. 8) What are the dates the SEPA decision was made, published, and when did the appeal period begin and end. SEPA Environmental Checklist issued: June 10, 2010 SEPA MDNS decision was signed: July 13, 2010 SEPA MDNS decision was published and posted: July 19, 2010 (It was mailed to agencies and neighbors on July 18, 2010) SEPA MDNS comment period ended: August 2, 2010 SEPA Notice of Action appeal period began: August 27, 2010 SEPA Notice of Action appeal period ended: September 24, 2010 If you have any questions, please let know.

One of the Items that we discussed at the meeting was that a small portion of the work area is within 200 feet of the ordinary high water mark of the Cedar River, which is a Class 1 water of the state. Because of that, our project must comply with the City's Shoreline Master Program. At our meeting, you noted that if we could demonstrate that our work on the project within the City's shoreline jurisdiction met the maintenance and repair exemption set out in WAC 173- 27-040, we would be able to submit for a Shoreline Exemption Instead of a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit for the project. Bassetti Architects has prepared the attached exhibit that shows the extent of the proposed maintenance and repair work within the City's shoreline jurisdiction and a table summarizing the work. We believe that our work falls under the "normal maintenance and repair" provisions of WAC 173,27-040(2)(b), which states: "Normal. maintenance or repair of existing structures or developments, including damage by accident, fire or elements. 'Normal maintenance' includes those usual acts to prevent a decline, lapse, or cessation from a lawfully established condition. 'Normal repair' means to restore a development to a state comparable to its original condition, including but not limited to its size, shape, configuration, location and. external appearance, within a reas.onable period after decay or partial destruction, except where repair causes substantial adverse effects to shoreline resource or environment. Replacement of a structure or development may be authorized as repair where such replacement is the common method of repair for the type of structure or development and the replacement structure or development is comparable to the original structure or development including but not limited to its size, shape, configuration, location and external appearance and the replacement does not cause substantial adverse effects to shoreline resources or environment;" Civil Engineers Structural Engineers Landscape Architects Community Planners Land Surveyors Neighbors TACOMA 2215 North 30th Street Suite 300 Tacoma, WA 904113-3350 253.383.2422 m 251383.2572 FAX www.shbJ.com Ms. Vanessa Dolbee June 9, 2010 210171.30 Page 2 of 2 Our work restores and replaces those components of the stadium within the urban shoreline jurisdiction to a state comparable to Its original construction, and is of the same' size, shape, . configuration, location, and external appearance as the existing project. We are proposing to do the following restoration and replacementworkwithin the 200-foot shoreline jurisdiction: • The existing lawn and landscaped area is in bad condition, so we will be replacing it with new landscaping covering the same 3,605 square feet of area. • The existing asphalt paved area that is crumbling and in a poor state will be replaced by an equal amount of concrete paving covering the same 850 square feet of area. • The existing fencing is in poor condition and it will be replaced by 286 lineal feet of security and ornamental fencing. In addition, our project does not cause any substantial adverse effects to the shoreline environment. As such, we believe our work In the shoreline jurisdiction should be permitted under a Shoreline Exemption. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

Variance Request Chapter 4-4-070 of the Renton Municipal Code provides landscaping standards for parking lots and site buffers to do the following: " .. _establish consistent and comprehensive landscape provisions to preserve and enhance the landscape character of the City; to improve the aesthetic quality of the built environment; to minimize erosion and reduce the impacts of development on natural areas within the City and on storm drainage systems and water resources in particular; to protect existing street trees; to provide shade, reduce noise and glare, and establish a healthier environment; to provide transitions between various land uses; improve and soften the appearance of parking areas; to ensure plant establishment and survival; to increase privacy and protection from visual or physical intrusion; and to maintain and protect property values, and generally enhance the overall image and appearance of the City and quality of life for its citizens. " Our project proposes to vary from the following sections of the City of Renton Landscape Code, RMC Chapter 4-4-070 by relocating the required square footage of landscaping areas within the existing site to preserve the function of the existing use of the site. F. AREAS REQUIRED TO BE LANDSCAPED: Project Memo 1. Street Frontage Landscaping Required: Ten feet 00'! of on-site landscaping is required along all public street frontages. with the exception of areas for required walkwavs and driveways and those zones with building setbacks less than ten feet (JO'). In those cases. ten feet (10') of landscaping shall be required where buildings are not located. [ . .] 4. Projects Abutting Less Intensive Zones or Uses: [ . .] d. When an Industrial Zoned Lot or Use is Abutting a Residential or Commercial Zone: A fifteen-foot (15') wide partially sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, or ten-foot ( 10 ') wide fully sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, is required along the common property line. [ . .] 6. Parking Lots: Vehicle parking lots shall meet minimum landscape standards in this section.

Minimum Amounts of Interior Parking Lot Landscaping: Surface parking lots with more than fourteen ( 14) stalls shall be landscaped as follows: Total Number of Minimum Parking Stalls Landscape Area 15to50 15 sf/parking space 51 to 99 25 sf/parking space lOOormore 35 sf/parking space [ . .] H. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIRED LANDSCAPING TYPES: 1. Street Frontage Landsrapinq Buffer: Such landscaping shall include a mixture of trees, shrubs, and qroundcover as approved bv the Deoartment of Communitv and Economic Development. [ . .] 5. Interior Parking Lot Landscaping: Landscaping is required in parking lots in the amounts stipulated in subsedion F of this Section. Any interior parking lot landscaping area shall be a minimum of five feet (5'} in width. Landscaping shall be dispersed throughout the parking area and shall include a mixture of trees, shrubs, and groundcover as follows: a. Trees shall be two inches (2''} in diameter at breast height (dbh} for multi-family, commercial, and industrial uses. At least one tree for every six (6) parking spaces within the lot interior shall be planted. b. Shrubs at the minimum rate of one per twenty (20) square feet of landscaped area shall be planted. Up to fifty percent (50%} of shrubs may be deciduous. c. Ground cover shall be planted in sufficient quantities to provide at least ninety percent {90%} coverage of the landscaped area within three (3) years of installation. d. There shall be no more than fifty feet (50'} between parking stalls and an interior parking lot landscape area. Justification for the Variance Request Section RMC 4-4-070.R. of the landscaping code allows for variances to landscaping standards, which includes those cited in the section above. RMC 4-9-250.B.5 establishes the criteria that must be addressed by variances from landscaping standards. Project Memo Page 3 of6 Renton School District ~ Memorial Stadium Site Improvements 210171.30 December 7, 2010, Additional Information Added January 5, 2011 mmmm Our responses to the four-variance criteria are found below. The project variance must meet all four criteria in order to be approved. 1. The applicant suffers undue hardship and the variance is necessary because of special circumstances applicable to subject property, including size, shape, topography, and location or surroundings of the subject property; and the strict application of the Building & Zoning Code is found to deplive subject property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical dassification. Project Memo The proposed variance from the City of Renton Building and Zoning code is necessary because of the applicant suffers undue hardship from the City landscaping regulations and because of special circumstances applicable to subject property that include the shape and location of the subject property. Strict application of the City of Renton's Building and Zoning Code would deprive the property owner of rights and privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical classification. The use of the site as a stadium on a triangularly shaped parcel has been established for a long time. The use and site layout likely predates many of the regulations found in the City's Building and Zoning Code. In order for the current use to continue, it is necessary that the stadium facility be updated to meet current building and seismic standards, while at the same time coming under the current landscaping regulations. There are twe three components in the current landscaping requirements that affect our project. On one hand, because the project has more than 100 existing parking stalls, we are required to provide 35 square feet of interior parking lot landscaping per stall. We are also required to provide ten feet [10'1 of on-site landscaping along all public street frontages {Logan Avenue North) in the form of trees. shrubs. and groundcover. In addition, the City of Renton zoning designation of the project site is Industrial Light (IL) and the properties to the north are zoned Urban Center North 2 (UC-N2). According to the landscape regulations, an industrial zoned lot or use abutting a residential or commercial zone is required to provide a fifteen-foot (15') wide partially sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, or ten-foot (10') wide fully sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, along the common property line. Currently there are interior parking lots landscaping islands provided throughout the north and south parking lots and the number of parking stalls provided on the site are just adequate to meet the needs of users of the facility and less than current City standards. If the City's interior parking landscaping requirements were strictly enforced, then the site would lose up to a 100 existing parking stalls. As a result of a number of meetings between City staff, the School District and the project design team, it was agreed that the applicant would provide the square footage of required interior parking lot landscaping in areas adjacent to the existing parking areas. We have shown this additional landscaping on the landscape plans that accompany this variance request. At this time, there is no landscape screening between the existing stadium parking and track facility used for javelin and other sports and existing plane storage and industrial use to the north. As part of this project, we will be adding a landscaping Page 4 of 6 Renton School District -Memorial Stadium Site Improvements 210171.30 December 7, 2010, Additional Information Added January 5, 2011 mmm11 screen that will meet with requirements of RMC Section 4-4-070.F.4. The exception of a portion of the area needed for the javelin throwing area that may be slightly less than the ten foot width recuired. This loss of screening depth is made up along the western portion of the landscape screen. There is an existing stormwater facility located on the northeast corner of the site that is grassed. While we are meeting or exceeding the required ten feet (10') of on- site landscaping along the rest of our Logan Avenue North frontage. because of the location of the existing storm water facility and the existing adjacent parking area, there is insufficient space to create a landscaped area in this location that will meet the current code requirements. Adding trees. shrubs. and additional groundcover in this particular area will compromise the function of this existing stormwater facility by reducing the volume of water below what the facility was originally designed to handle. as well as making necessary maintenance and upkeep of this conventional stormwater facility not possible. In addition. there is an existing pipe connection on the northwest corner of the stormwater facility from the Boeing property to the north. which suggests that any changes to the existing stormwater facility will affect the property to the north. Options for converting the existing conventional stormwater system to a low impact development (LID) stormwater facility to allow for some landscaping were considered. However. given the design parameters for the original facility especially the volume of stormwater handled by the 5-foot deep. steep walled pond. it is difficult to develop an LID facility within the same limited footprint that would be able to handle the same amount of stormwater that the original facility was designed to address. LID stormwater design is best undertaken site wide. where rainfall. the original source of stormwater, is handled closer to where is falls. not after it has already been concentrated in one location, such as this particular situation where there is too much volume for LID techniques to address in a limited area. In addition to reasons to stated. LID facilities rely on underlying soils that support the appropriate level of infiltration. The soils on the site are urban fill. which would need a significant amount of soil amendment and replacement in order for a "rain garden" or landscaped biofiltration system to function adequately, even if the other design para meters could be met. As part of this project. the loss of this portion of required landscaping area is addressed in the additional landscaping areas on the site. 2. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated Project Memo The granting of this variance from the City of Renton's landscaping recuirements will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated. The proposed variance will result in a project that will meet the required square footage of landscaping in an attractive manner that will create an attractive location, screen the project from the incompatible zoning to the north, provide enhanced landscaping Page 5 of 6 Renton School District· Memorial Stadium Site Improvements 210171.30 December 7, 2010, Additional Information Added January 5, 2011 mmm11 along our Logan Avenue North frontage outside of the existing stormwater facility. and benefit the City. 3. Approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated The granting of this variance request would not result in special rights or privileges being granted to the property owner. The variance from the landscaping requirements preserves and enhances the landscape character of the City. 4. The approval, as determined by the Reviewing Official, is the minimum variance that will accomplish the desired purpose The proposed variance is the minimum amount necessary to accommodate the planned action. The proposed relocation of the landscaping is driven by the desire of the applicant to meet the intent of the City's landscape code while allowing a long time existing use to be remodeled and retrofitted for the benefit of the City and the School District. We thank you for your assistance with this project We look forward to continuing to work with you as we proceed through the approval process.

The use and site layout likely predates many of the regulations found in the City's Building and Zoning Code. In order for the current use to continue, it is necessary that the stadium facility be updated to meet current building Page 3 of 5 Renton School District -Memorial Stadium Site Improvements 210171.30 December 7, 2010 mmmo and seismic standards, while at the same time coming under the current landscaping regulations. There are two components in the current landscaping requirements that affect our project. On one hand, because the project has more than 100 existing parking stalls, we are required to provide 35 square feet of interior parking lot landscaping per stall. In addition, the City of Renton zoning designation of the project site is Industrial Light (IL) and the properties to the north are zoned Urban Center North 2 (UC-N2). According to the landscape regulations, an industrial zoned lot or use abutting a residential or commercial zone is required to provide a fifteen-foot (15') wide partially sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, or ten-foot (10') wide fully sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, along the common property line. Currently there are interior parking lots landscaping islands provided throughout the north and south parking lots and the number of parking stalls provided on the site are just adequate to meet the needs of users of the facility and less than current City standards. If the City's interior parking landscaping requirements were strictly enforced, then the site would lose up to a 100 existing parking stalls. As a result of a number of meetings between City staff, the School District and the project design team, it was agreed that the applicant would provide the square footage of required interior parking lot landscaping in areas adjacent to the existing parking areas. We have shown this additional landscaping on the landscape plans that accompany this variance request. At this time, there is no landscape screening between the existing stadium parking and track facility used for javelin and other sports and existing plane storage and industrial use to the north. As part of this project, we will be adding a landscaping screen that will meet with requirements of RMC Section 4-4-070.F.4. The exception of a portion of the area needed for the javelin throwing area that may be slightly less than the ten foot width required. This loss of screening depth is made up along the western portion of the landscape screen. 2. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated The granting of this variance from the City of Renton's landscaping requirements will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which subject property is situated. The proposed variance will result in a project that will meet the required square footage of landscaping in an attractive manner that will create an attractive location, screen the project from the incompatible zoning to the north, and benefit the City. 3. Approval shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated Project Memo The granting of this variance request would not result in special rights or privileges being granted to the property owner. The variance from the landscaping requirements preserves and enhances the landscape character of the City. Page 4 of s Renton School District -Memorial Stadium Site Improvements 210171.30 December 7, 2010 mmm11 4. The approval, as determined by the Reviewing Official, is the minimum variance that will accomplish the desired purpose The proposed variance is the minimum amount necessary to accommodate the planned action. The proposed relocation of the landscaping is driven by the desire of the applicant to meet the intent of the City's landscape code while allowing a long time existing use to be remodeled and retrofitted for the benefit of the City and the School District. We thank you for your assistance with this project. We look forward to continuing to work with you as we proceed through the approval process.

Sediments encountered beneath the asphalt and fill generally consisted of interbedded clean sand, silty sand, clayey and lean silt with occasional lenses of gravel, peat, and other organics scattered throughout the soil column. All storm sewers within the work area drain from non-pollution generating surfaces (building roofs, pedestrian plazas, and landscaped areas) and have direct discharge to the Cedar River. The discharge site is outside of the area designated as sensitive to contributing to downstream flooding. • Proposed use of the property and scope of the proposed development Site: The existing site is approximately 14.44 acres. The total project work area is 3.51 acres. The existing use is a stadium and is to remain unchanged. Activities occurring on-site include football and soccer games, track and field meets and similar events. Select landscaping, fencing and utilities will be removed. Site improvements include plaza, landscaping, fencing and utility upgrades. No improvements to the existing parking lots are planned. North: The existing concession / restroom building and ticket booth (totaling approximately 857 SF) will be demolished. The existing grandstands (approximately 4,S96 SF with a seating capacity of+/-1,164) will receive enclosure, accessibility and finish upgrades. There will be no increase in seating capacity. A new concession, restroom (approximately 2,250 SF) and field storage building will be constructed to the east. A new covered viewing area (approximately 2,800 SF) will be constructed to the west. After modernization, the increase in the area will be approximately 4,490 square feet from 8,175 square feet to 12,665 square feet. South: The existing boiler building, ticket booth and press box (totaling approximately 1,016 SF) will be demolished. The existing grandstands will receive a new press box and reconstruction of all spaces below the spectator seating. There will be no increase in seating capacity. Work will also include earthquake safety, exiting, energy, accessibility upgrades and new enclosure, mechanical and electrical systems. After modernization, the total building area will be reduced 786 square feet from 35,876 to 3S,090 square feet. West: Existing fencing will be replaced.

The following comments on development and permitting issues are based on the pre-application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision-makers (e.g., Hearing Ex.iminer, Community & Economic Development Administrator, Development Services Director, Public Works Administrator, and City Council). Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The Development Regulations are available for purchase for $50.00 plus tax, from the Finance Division on the first floor of City Hall or on the City's website www.rentonwa.gov Project Proposal The subject property is located on the west side of Logan Avenue N between Logan Avenue and the Cedar River. The project site consists of two parcels equaling 16. 76 acres of Industrial Light (IL) zoned property improved with the Renton Memorial Stadium and accessory structures. The proposal is to remodel the stadium facilities to bring the existing structures up to current seismic, accessibility, and energy standards. The proposal includes the following changes: • The South Grandstand would have extensive selective demolition, including the existing roof-supported press box and attached boiler plant room. The press box would be replaced with a 520 sq. ft. area and the boiler functions would be relocated to the main enclosure. All non-load bearing walls would be demolished. Resulting in a new enclosure area approximately 14,200 sq. ft., a reduction from the original enclosed area of 14,630 sq. ft. The grandstand would also be made accessible, • The 140 sq. ft. south ticket booth would be re-roofed and re-enclosed, • The North Grandstand would have electrical upgrades, seating modification for accessibility, and new cladding, • The existing north ticket booth, north storage shed, and concession and toilet buildings would be demolished, Renton Memorial Stadium May 27, 2010 Page 2 of 5 • A new north building (2,250 sq. ft.) would be constructed to the east of the North Grandstand. • A new north viewing area (2,000 sq. ft.) would be constructed west of the North Grandstands, • The existing reader board sign would be replaced with a new sign, • Fencing would be updated, • Existing asphalt in the arrival plaza would be ground and overlaid and a new plaza near the North Grandstands would be added, and • Minor parking lot modifications are proposed, which include the removal of six parking spaces. The site is currently accessed from Logan Avenue N. at three locations. The Renton Memorial Stadium is located within a 100-year flood zone of the Cedar River, a Class 1 waterway of the State, and a seismic hazard area. Current Use: The site is currently developed with Renton Memorial Stadium. Zoning: The property is located within the Employment Area Industrial (EAi) land use designation and the Industrial Light (IL) zoning designation. The proposed stadium is a regional facility utilized by many different athletic organizations including schools. The stadium would be considered a sports arena outdoor, which is a permitted use in the IL zone. Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-130A, "Development Standards for Industrial Zoning Designations" effective at the time of complete application (noted as "IL standards" herein). A copy of these standards is included herewith. Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth -The minimum lot size permitted in the IL zone is 35,000 square feet. The IL zone has no minimum lot width and/or depth. The proposal does not appear to alter existing lot lines. Building Standards -The IL zone allows a maximum building coverage of 65 percent and building height is restricted to 50 feet. The application did not include building footprints; therefore, staff could not determine compliance with lot coverage. Based on the provided elevations, it appears the proposed remodel would comply with building height regulations. Setbacks -Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the property line or private access easement. The minimum setback is 20 feet for the front yard and side yard along a street, for rear and side yards there is no minimum setback. The applicant did not provide sufficient information for staff to determine compliance with setback requirements although It appears the project would comply with setback requirements. Refuse and Recycling Areas -Refuse and recycling areas are required to meet the requirements of RMC 4-4-090, "Refuse and Recyclables Standards" (enclosed). Parking-Vehicle parking, bicycle parking, loading areas, and driveways shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of the current parking regulations (enclosed). The following ratios would be applicable to the site: Renton Memorial Stadium May 27, 2010 Page 3 of 5 Use Outdoor and indoor sports arenas, auditoriums, stadiums, movie theaters, and entertainment clubs: Bicycle Parking Unit *Existing Grandstand Seating = 5,764 Viewing Area = 2,000 sq. ft. 1,461 required parking spaces Ratio Reg_uired SQ.aces A minimum and maximum of 1 for Min/Max: every 4 fixed seats or 10 per 1,000 Grandstand: square feet of floor area of main 1,441 auditorium or of principal place of spaces assembly not containing fixed seats, whichever is greater. Viewing Area:20 spaces The number of bicycle parking Min: 146 spaces shall be ten percent (10%) spaces of the number of required off- street parking spaces, • Parking calculation Is based on existing seating, the provided information did not indicate if seating would change as a part of the remodel. The parking numbers may need to be re- calculated. The applicant is proposing to remove 6 parking spaces as a part of the remodel, existing parking information was not provided with the submittal, therefore staff can nat determine compliance with parking standards. The applicant will be required at the time of permit application to provide a parking analysis of the subject site. It should be noted that the parking regulations specify standard stall dimensions of 9 feet x 20 feet, compact dimensions of BX feet x 16 feet, and parallel stall dimensions of 9 feet x 23 feet. ADA accessible stalls must be a minimum of 8 feet in width by 20 feet in length, with an adjacent access aisle of 8 feet in width for van accessible spaces. The appropriate amount of ADA accessible stalls based on the total number of spaces must be provided. In addition, two-way drive aisles shall be a minimum of 24 feet in width. Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) for-further general and specific landscape-- requirements for parking areas (enclosed). The applicant will be required at the time of land use application to provide a landscaping analysis of the subject site. Landscaping -Except for critical areas, all portions of the development area not covered by structures, required parking, access, circulation or service areas, must be landscaped with native, drought-resistant vegetative cover. When an Industrial Zoned Lot or Use is Abutting a Residential or Commercial Zone: A fifteen-foot (15') wide partially sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, or ten-foot (10') wide fully sight- obscuring landscaped visual barrier, is required along the common property line. Please refer to RMC 4-4-070, for further general and specific landscape requirements (enclosed). A detailed landscape plan and landscape analysis meeting the requirements in RMC 4-8- 1Z0D.1Z, shall be submitted at the time of permit application. If the applicant intends to install any fences as part of this project, the location must be designated on the landscape plan. A fence detail should also be included on the plan as well. Renton Memorial Stadium May 27, 2010 Page 4 of 5 Access -There are no proposed changes to access. Signs · The applicant has proposed to remove the existing readerboard sign along Logan Avenue N. and replace with a new monument sign with an electronic message board. Each individual public facility may have one freestanding electronic or manual message board, a maximum of twenty-five feet (25') in height and one hundred fifty {150) square feet in size. In addition to the message board sign, each individual facility may have one freestanding sign not higher than six feet (6') above any established grade for each street frontage and no more than one hundred (100) square feet. Freestanding signs shall be no closer than ten feet (10') to any street right-of- way or five feet (5') to any side property line. In addition to the freestanding signs, wall signs are permitted with a total copy area not exceeding ten percent (10%) of the building facade to which it is applied. All signs require a separate individual sign permit. Critical Areas -The subject site is located within a Seismic Hazard area, Flood Hazard area, and within 200-feet of the Cedar River a Class 1 waterway. Flood Hazard: The subject site contains a Flood Hazard Area; pursuant to the FIMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) the subject site contains two Special Flood Zones; AE (base flood elevation determined) which is classified as a 100-year flood plain and X (area of 500-year flood, areas of 100-year flood with average depths of less then 1-foot or drainage area less then 1 square mile, or an areu protected by levees from 100-year flood). The FIRM maps indicate the base flood elevation to be approximately 25 feet Mean Sea Level {MSL). Flood Hazard Data shall be submitted with formal land use application pursuant to RMC 4-8-1Z0D. It should be noted that the above information is based on a FIRM from 1995 and information that is more recent may be available, the applicant is required to utilize best available science when evaluating flood hazard areas. Because development is proposed within the floodplain, the applicant should address the issues raised in the Final Biological Opinion And Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act Essential Fish Habitat Consultation and propose mitigation for any anticipated Impacts as it would relate to the referenced publlcation, in the SEPA review for the project. The SEPA GheGklist-should be-previded-to-the-National-Marine-Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the- Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for their review and comment. Seismic Hazard: The seismic hazard is related to potential liquefaction of soils during an earthquake event. A geatechnlcal analysis for the site may be required. The analysis needs to assess soil conditions and detail construction measures to assure building stability. Shoreline: The Cedar River is a Class 1 water of the state and any development within 200-feet of the ordinary high water mark of the Lake would be required to comply with the Shoreline Master Program. As proposed portions of the development may be located within 200-feet of the shoreline, as such a stream and habitat reconnaissance shall be provided by a qua/1/ied biologist identifying any impacts the project may have on either the Cedar River or habitat within the project vicinity. If impacts are identified a stream study and habitat assessment may be required. Renton Memorial Stadium May 27, 2010 Page 5 of5 Permit Requirements The proposal would require Hearing Examiner Site Plan approval, Shoreline Substantial Development Permit and Environmental (SEPA) Review. The applicant indicated that the Renton School District would be the reviewing agency for the SEPA review. Once SEPA is completed by the School District, they may submit to the City for the Site Plan review and Shoreline Permit. All permits would be reviewed in an estimated timeframe of 12 weeks. The application fee for Hearing Examiner Site Plan review and Shoreline Permit is $2,000.00 each, for a total of $4,000.00 for review of both permits. In addition to the required land use permits, separate construction, building and sign permits would be required. The review of these permits may occur concurrently with the review of the land use permits, but cannot be issued prior to the completion of any appeal periods. Impact Mitigation Fees: In addition to the applicable building and construction fees, the following mitigation fees may be required prior to the issuance of building permits. + A Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per new daily trip attributed to the development; + A Fire Mitigation Fee based on $0.52 per new commercial building square foot.

East: The existing reader board and field storage building (approximately 825 SF) will be demolished. A new reader board will be constructed. Only a small portion of the proposed work will occur within 200' Shoreline Jurisdiction. We are proposing to do the following restoration and replacement work within the 200-foot Shoreline jurisdiction: • The existing lawn and landscaped area is in bad condition, so we will be replacing it with new landscaping covering the same 3,605 square feet of area. • The existing asphalt paved area that is crumbling and in a poor state, will be replaced by an equal amount of concrete paving covering the same 850 square feet of area. • The existing fencing is in poor condition and it will be replaced by 286 lineal feet of security and ornamental fencing. • Basis for the exemption request (reference exemption category from first page) Our work falls under the "normal maintenance and repair of existing structure or developments." WAC 173-27-040(2)(b) states: "Normal maintenance or repair of existing structures or developments, including damage by accident, fire or elements. "Normal maintenance" includes those usual acts to prevent a decline, lapse, or cessation from a lawfully established condition. "Normal repair" means to restore a development to a state comparable to its original condition, including but not limited to its size, shape, configuration, location and external appearance, within a reasonable period after decay or partial destruction, except where repair causes substantial adverse effects to shoreline resource or environment. Replacement of a structure or development may be authorized as repair where such replacement is the common method of repair for the type of structure or development and the replacement structure or development is comparable to the original structure or development including but not limited to its size, shape, configuration, location and external appearance and the replacement does not cause substantial adverse effects to shoreline resources or environment;" Our work within the Shoreline jurisdiction restores and replaces those components of the stadium within the urban shoreline jurisdiction to a state comparable to its original construction and is of the same size, shape, configuration, location and external appearance as the existing project. • Anticipated dates of work The proposed project will commence in late winter 20lt with substantial completion scheduled for summer 2011.

Sediments encountered beneath the asphalt and fill generally consisted of interbedded clean sand, silty sand, clayey and lean silt with occasional lenses of gravel, peat, and other organics scattered throughout the soil column. All storm sewers within the work area drain from non-pollution generating surfaces (building roofs, pedestrian plazas, and landscaped areas) and have direct discharge to the Cedar River. The discharge site is outside of the area designated as sensitive to contributing to downstream flooding. • Total estimated construction cost and estimated fair market value of the proposed project The current estimated construction cost for the project is $7.37 million. The estimated construction cost for the area within the shoreline buffer is $47,188. The fair market values for both are assumed equal to the estimated construction costs. • Estimated quantities and type of materials involved if any fill or excavation is proposed We do not anticipate any cut and fill work in the portion of the project within the Shoreline Jurisdiction.

Construction operations will occur during days and hours that comply with City of Renton requirements. We do not expect any operations to occur during weekends or special hours. Hauling routes will be developed by the General Contractor, once contracted, and will be reviewed and approved by the City of Renton prior to the start of construction. Temporary, short-term noise impacts typical of construction projects will occur with the operation of equipment during construction. Noise impacts associated with construction phases of the project will be limited in duration. Mitigation for general noise impacts during the construction phases will include measures such as using and regularly maintaining efficient mufflers and quieting devices on all construction equipment and vehicles will be taken. Construction activities at the site could stir up dust particles. Construction vehicles and equipment will also be a potential source of exhaust emissions. Watering the ground as needed before and during clearing and grading activities will control dust particles. Vehicles that are not being used in construction activities will be shut off. The scope of this project does not include work within the right-of-way of any public ways. No impacts to local traffic are expected, thus we do not expect a traffic control plan will be required.
