King County requires that a capacity charge be applied to any project that constructs a new connection to the sewer system, any reconnection within five years of a disconnection, or any change in use or building remodel that includes an increase in plumbing fixtures. King County generally receives notice of new construction; however, some sewer districts and/or the cities that represent them have neglected to report changes in use and tenant improvements that involve an increase in plumbing fixtures. In an attempt to remedy this problem, we are sending this reminder to you in response to the Master Use Permit Application for the project above. We ask that you forward this reminder to the sewer district or city department responsible for Sewer Use Certification forms: Please complete and send a Commercial Sewer Use Certification form for the above project to the King County Capacity Charge Program in a timely manner.

Mitigation Measures None 3. Environmental Impacts The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated ta occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the fallowing probable impacts: a. Earth Impacts: The building pad is nearly level and slopes gently up from north to south and covered with asphalt-concrete paving. There is a differential grade of approximately 9 feet with the steepest slope at approximately 4-6 percent. The site currently contains impervious cover due to the existing restaurant building and associated pavement. Following development, impervious surface coverage will be approximately 85-90 percent. According to the Geotechnical Engineering Report by the Terracon dated July 2, 2013, the soils encountered during field exploration include silty sand with trace gravel, dark gray loose to medium dense moist soil (Exhibit 5). While soils were loose they are not suitable for infiltration. The applicant proposes to excavate approximately 2,075 cubic yards as a result of proposed stormwater detention tanks. The applicant is proposing approximately 198 cubic yards of fill. Removal of the existing impervious cover during construction would leave soils susceptible to erosion. The applicant will be required to design a Temporary Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan (TESCP) pursuant to the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual Erosion and Sediment Control Requirements. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. b. Water I. Storm Water Impacts: The 4.58 acre site is one drainage basin and drains via catch basins and pipes. The drainage pattern is a sheet flow on asphalt pavement at approximately 5% slope in the northwest direction toward the existing catch basins and conveyed via storm drainage piping into an existing catch basin at the southwest corner of intersection of SE Carr Rd and the 106'" Pl SE access road to the west of the subject building pad. This project is required to comply with the 2009 King County Surface Water Manual and the 2009 City of Renton Amendments to the KCSWM, Chapter 1 and 2. Based on the City's flow control map, this site falls within the Flow Control Duration Standard, Forested Conditions. This project is subject to full drainage review. The applicant submitted a "Technical Information Report," prepared by Abossein Engineering, LLC, dated October, 2013 (Exhibit 6). The site is required to provide detention and water quality under the current King County Surface Water Manual. The engineer has provided a design for an underground tank system for detention and water quality treatment will be provided by Filterra Biofilration System. The use of the Filterra system is subject to approval by the city. A request in writing is required to be submitted to Plan Review Division requesting approval through the adjustment process and is a condition of the Site Plan Review. The geotechnical report (Exhibit 5) indicates the entire site is underlain with glacial till over lodgment till. The compacted lodgment till is not suitable for infiltration. Conditions of approval will be provided as part of the Site Plan Approval (see below). ERC/Site Plan Report City of Renton Department of Community & mic Development Environmental Revi Committee & Administrative Site Pion Report WENDY'S RESTAURANT ON CARR R Report of December 2, 2013 Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. c. Transportation WA13-001462, SA-A, ECF, MOO Page 5 of 28 Impacts: The building pad fronts onto SE Carr Rd. The applicant is proposing to maintain access to the site internally from the Fred Meyer Shopping Center. SE Carr Rd is classified as a principal arterial. The City has plans to widen SE Carr Rd with street improvements along the south side of the street which would include an 8-foot planting strip, an 8-foot sidewalk, 1-foot back of sidewalk, and a street pavement width of approximately 33 feet from the center line. To accommodate this widening, one and half feet would be required to be dedicated to the City. In lieu of installing the 8-foot planter and 8-foot sidewalk, the applicant may pay a fee-in lieu of installing the required street improvements. The estimated fee, based on 182 lineal feet of improvements, would be $18,200.00. This fee-in-lieu would be required to be paid prior to the issuance of a construction permit. In order to mitigate impacts the City's street system the applicant would be required to pay Transportation Impact Fees for the new use. Credit would be given for the existing Shari's restaurant. The impact fee for the proposed use will increase from $2.71 per square foot to $4.84 per square foot on January 1, 2014. The Transportation Impact Fee that is current at the time of building permit application will be levied. The estimated traffic impact fee, based on the current rate and applying the credit for the exisitng use is $46,756.36. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended. Nexus: Not applicable. d, Fire & Police Impacts: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicated that sufficient resources exist to furnish services to the proposed development; subject to the condition that the applicant provides Code required improvements and fees. There is no change in use or increase in size of the use therefore there would be no additional impacts to the City's Fire and Police Services. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation recommended.

Guidelines: lighting that improves pedestrian safety and also that creates visual interest in the building and site during the evening hours shall be provided. Not Standard: Pedestrian-scale lighting shall be provided at primary and secondary building entrances. Examples include sconces on building facades, awnings with down-lighting and decorative street lighting. Staff Comment: A lighting plan was not provided with the application; therefore staff Compliant recommends a condition of approval that lighting plan be provided that complies with the with Standard Not Compliant with Standard Not Compliant With Standard Design District standards. Staff recommends, as a condition of approval, the applicant be required to provide a lighting plan that adequately provides for public safety without casting excessive glare on adjacent properties at the time of building permit review. The lighting plan shall be submitted to, and approved by, the Current Planning Project Manager prior to building permit approval. Standard: Accent lighting shall also be provided on building facades (such as sconces) and/or to illuminate other key elements of the site such as gateways, specimen trees, other significant landscaping, water features, and/or artwork. Staff Comment: The primary fa~ade needs additional human scale elements in order to reinforce a pedestrian oriented development (Exhibit 4). Ornamental lighting fixtures would create a more prominent primary building fa~ade. Staff has recommended a condition of approval requiring the applicant submit revised elevations depicting ornamental lighting fixtures along the northern and western building facades. The revised elevations shall be submitted to and approved by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to building permit approval. Standard: Downlighting shall be used in all cases to assure safe pedestrian and vehicular movement, unless alternative pedestrian scale lighting hos been approved administratively or is specifically listed as exempt from provisions located in RMC 4-4-075 lighting, Exterior On-Site (i.e., signoge, governmental flags, temporary holiday or decorative lighting, right-of- way-lighting, etc.). 1,.. ..... ..-......,,.,..L=s=ta==ff Comment: See condition above. ~{P0\1111\!E!:>' ~PINANCE 'AND.•DEVEI.OPIVll:N[~Ea\llt;NT CQMPUANCE .AND.CONJSTENCY: ,N<>t~~Plit,ilb!~-P• ! Structures: Restricting overscale structures and overconcentration of development on a particular portion of the site. The 0.85 building pad is located in the central portion of the larger 4.58 acre site along the northern border. The subject site contains four structures evenly spaced across the site. The proposed structure would be located in the central portion of the pad along the northern border. There is not a concentration of development on the site. The surrounding uses are zoned CA and are similar in scale. Circulation: Providing desirable transitions and linkages between uses, streets, walkways and adjacent properties. A pedestrian connection is provided from SE Carr Rd (Exhibit 2). However, additional connections should be made from the building pad to the existing pedestrian pathways on the larger site. Staff has recommended, as a condition of approval, the applicant be required to revise the site plan in ERC/Site Plan Report City of Renton Department of Community & ~conomic Development WENDY'S RESTAURANT ON CARR Report of December 2, 2013 Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report WA13-001462, SA-A, ECF, MOD Page 20 of 28 order to incorporate additional pedestrian connections on site. Loading and Storage Areas: Locating, designing and screening storage areas, utilities, rooftop equipment, loading areas, and refuse and recyclables to minimize views from surrounding properties. The overall development would be screened via the landscaping required along the site frontage and within the parking lot if conditions are complied with. Views: Recognizing the public benefit and desirability of maintaining visual accessibility to attractive natural features. There are territorial views to the west, but no large attractive natural features on or near the site for which to maintain visual accessibility. Therefore, the proposed height of the structure is appropriate for this situation. The applicant has proposed to limit the height of most of the proposed structure to 24 feet which mitigate view impacts from surrounding properties. Landscaping: Using landscaping to provide transitions between development and surrounding properties to reduce noise and glare, maintain privacy, and generally enhance the appearance of the project. See Landscaping discussion under Findings Section 21.b. Lighting: Designing and/or placing exterior lighting and glazing in order to avoid excessive brightness ar glare ta adjacent properties and streets As stated above a lighting plan was not provided with the project materials. Staff recommended, as a condition of approval, the applicant be required to provide a lighting plan that adequately provides for public safety without casting excessive glare on adjacent properties at the time of building permit review. Structure Placement: Provisions for privacy and noise reduction by building placement, spacing and orientation. The project is located in an area of commercial uses. All the surrounding parcels are zoned Commercial Arterial (CA). Commercial/service uses are abutting/adjacent to the subject site in all directions. The proposed structure would be placed in approximately the location of the previous building in the central portion of the building pad with an orientation to the north. The proposed drive thru lane would be predominately located along the southern facade of the structure (Exhibit 2). The proposed structure and drive thru lanes are located as far from abutting properties as possible. The applicant is proposing a total of 29 surface parking stalls to the south of the structure. The building will meet all required setbacks from property lines with the exception of the maximum front yard setback along SE Carr Rd. Service elements have been located away from the pedestrian oriented spaces in order to minimize their impact on the pedestrian environment. The proposed commercial use is anticipated to be compatible with future surrounding uses as permitted in the CA zone. Structure Scale: Consideration af the scale af proposed structures in relation to natural characteristics, views and vistas, site amenities, sunlight, prevailing winds, and pedestrian and vehicle needs. The massing of the proposed restaurant is most prominently visible from SE Carr Rd. The scale and bulk of the building is reduced through the use of differing materials on the building facades, building articulation and modulation and differing roof profiles including the new "blade" design. The contemporary architecture includes: a large storefront window system along the eastern facade, ERC/Site Plan Report City of Renton Department of Community & Economic Development WENDY'S RESTAURANT ON CARR Report of December 2, 2013 Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Pion Report LUA13-00l452, SA-A, ECF, _MOD Page 21 of 28 ----------------------------·-----------~ angular lines, differing height parapets, and the red blade element highlighting the primary entrance. Building materials include: brick veneer, ribbed corrugated metal, EIFS cladding, glass/aluminum, and metal paneling (Exhibit 4). The proposed building would have a footprint of 3,227 square feet on the 0.85 acre resulting in a building lot coverage of approximately 8.7 percent. The proposed building complies with the size and bulk requirements of the CA zone. The proposed building and pedestrian plaza is designed appropriately to allow adequate light and air circulation to the buildings and the site. The design of the structures would not result in excessive shading of the property. In addition, there is ample area surrounding the building to provide normal airflow. Natural Features: Protection of the natural landscape by retaining existing vegetation and soils, using topography to reduce undue cutting and filling, and limiting impervious surfaces. The site contains 7 trees of which 4 are proposed for removal. Renton Municipal Code requires that 5 percent of the trees on site be retained. Of the 7 trees, 1 tree is required to be retained at the 10 percent retention rate. As proposed the applicant would comply with the tree retention requirements of the code with the retention of three trees (Exhibit 3). The applicant will be required to comply with protection measures for retained trees as set forth in RMC 4-4-130H8 during construction. Topographically, the site is relatively flat. A geotechnical report for the site was submitted. Information on the water table and soil permeability with recommendations of appropriate flow control BMP options were included. Grading would be necessary in order to prepare the site for the proposed improvements. The applicant proposes to excavate approximately 2,075 cubic yards due to proposed stormwater detention tanks. The applicant is proposing approximately 198 cubic yards of fill. Following construction the site would have an impervious surface cover of approximately 85% -90%. Landscaping: Use of landscaping to soften the appearance of parking areas, to provide shade and privacy where needed, to define and enhance open spaces, and generally to enhance the oppeorance of the project. Landscaping also includes the design and protection of planting areas so that they are less susceptible to damage from vehicles or pedestrian movements. The landscaping is used to provide a transition between the proposed development and SE Carr Rd. Landscaping has been incorporated into to the surface parking areas at 6-11 vehicle stall intervals (Exhibit 3). The landscaping softens the appearance of the parking areas and generally enhances the appearance of the project if all conditions of approval are complied with. Location and Consolidation: Providing access points on side streets or frontage streets rather than directly onto arterial streets and consolidation of ingress and egress points on the site ond, when feasible, with adjacent properties. The building has one public street frontage, SE Carr Rd (Arterial). The existing restaurant currently uses one curb cut along SE Carr Rd (Exhibit 2). The applicant is proposing to retain the existing curb cut. No additional ingress or egress curb cuts are proposed. The proposed development is expected to maintain the safety and efficiency of pedestrian and vehicle circulation on the site if all conditions of approval are complied with. Internal Circulation: Promoting safety and efficiency of the internal circulation system, including the location, design and dimensions of vehicular and pedestrian access points, drives, parking, turnarounds, walkways, bikeways, and emergency access ways. Redevelopment of the site would improve vehicle circulation on the interior of the site. The site ERC/Site Plan Report City of Renton Deportment of Community & Economic Development WENDY'S RESTAURANT ON CARR Report of December 2, 2013 Environmental Review Committee & Administrative Site Plan Report LUA13-001462, SA-A, ECF, MOD Page 22 of 28 development would include 29 parking stalls (2 ADA accessible and 28 standards stalls) within the surface lot, which comply with the parking requirements for the proposed use. The applicant has proposed 90 degree head-in parking using a two way circulation pattern and has an aisle width of 24 feet which complies with the aisle width standards of the code. Internal pedestrian connections to the existing public sidewalk network and across the proposed drive aisle are proposed in order to provide safe and efficient pedestrian access throughout the site and to other abutting sites. Loading and Delivery: Separating loading and delivery areas from parking and pedestrian areas. There are no dedicated loading or delivery areas proposed on site. Transit and Bicycles: Providing transit, carpools and bicycle facilities and access. Per RMC 4-4-0BOF.11 0.5 bicycle the number of bicycle parking spaces shall be 10% of the number of required off-street parking spaces. Based on the proposal which requires a minimum of 16 vehicle parking stalls, 2 bicycle parking stalls are required to be provided. The applicant has provided a note on the site plan for a general location of bicycle stalls within the proposed landscape area. However, the site plan does not depict the exact location or number of bicycle parking stalls. Therefore, staff recommends the applicant revise the site plan to comply with the bicycle requirements outlined in RMC 4-4-080F.11. The bicycle stalls are encouraged to be located in the pedestrian plaza area. The revised site plan shall be submitted to and approved by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to building permit approval. Pedestrians: Providing safe and attractive pedestrian connections between parking areas, buildings, public sidewalks and adjacent properties. The existing sidewalks and landscaping within the right-of-way along SE Carr Rd and just west of the building pad would be retained. The applicant is proposing right-of-way dedications in order to accommodate future off-site improvements to SE Carr Rd. A pedestrian connection is proposed from the SE Carr Rd, via the proposed pedestrian plaza, to the proposed entrances (Exhibit 2). Additional connections are provided from the proposed parking lot to the structure. However, it appears these connections would only be differentiated through the use of paint striping. Staff has recommended, as a condition of approval, that pedestrian connections across the drive lane be differentiated with the alternative materials. Additionally, conflicts between cars and pedestrians are likely with pathways across the drive thru lane. Therefore, staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant submit a sign permit depicting safety signage (pedestrians crossing, stop signs, etc.) at intersections between pedestrian pathways and the drive thru lane. The sign permit shall be submitted to, and approved by, the Current Planning Project Manager prior to Temporary Occupancy Permit. . . . iy'iJ, pthfe,'efi; fa'caUili(nts':;and •·p~~&/userspftll!?.$ife,!1;[i~?!ii The applicant is proposing a large landscape area along SE Carr Rd between the main building entry location and the roadway, to the west, ·to enhance the site's appeal to pedestrians (Exhibit 3).

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 Examiner, Community & Economic Development Administrator, Public Works Administrator, Planning Director, Development Services Director, 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 online at www.rentonwa.gov Project Proposal: The subject property is located on the south side of SE carr Rd just west of Benson Drive S at 17605 108'" Ave SE. The project site totals 4.58 acres in area and is located within the Commercial Arterial (CA} zoning classification. The pre-application packet indicates that the proposal is to short plat the property into two lots in order to site a new 3,500 square foot Wendy's fast food restaurant with an associated drive thru. The proposal also includes the demolition of an existing restaurant {Sharfs). Access to the site is proposed via an existing curb cut along SE Carr Rd. There appear to be no critical areas on site. · Current Use: The property currently contains an existing 8,010 square foot multi-tenant structure on the western portion of the site which is proposed to remain. To the east there are two existing multi-tenant retail structures, totaling approximately 30,000 square feet. Both structures are proposed to remain. The 3,927 square foot Shari's restaurant is proposed for demolition. Zoning: The property is located within the Commercial Corridor {CC) land use designation and the Commercial Arterial {CA) zoning classification. Fast food uses are outright permitted within the CA zone. ,.t _..i----... \ .................. ...\ 1 'l.J'V\n02 Ir:. wontiv1~l rlnr. ' Wendy's Restaurant Shor Page 2 of 6 February 14, 2013 The property is also located within Urban Design District 'D', and therefore subject to additional 1 ., 4 design elements. Proposals should have unique, identifiable design treatment in terms of ~ landscaping, building design, signage and street furniture. . ~ (I,. Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-120A, "Development i\, · j ( y Standards for Commercial Zoning Designations" effective at the time of complete application _ \\ J (noted as "CA standards" herein). ~ -Minimum Lot Size. Width and Depth -There are no minimum requirements for lot size, lot f () '\ width or depth within the CA zone at this location. c,,\ (• ' I f" •)'I 0 v,-Y I I 1 /1/ Lot Coverage -The CA zone allows a maximum building coverage of 65 percent, or 75 percent if parking is provided within a building or within an on-site parking garage. The project proposal appears to comply with the lot coverage requirements of the zone. Setbacks -Setbacks are the distance between the building and the property line or any private access easement. Setback requirements in the CA zone are as follows: 10 feet minimum for the " 0~ S .-· front yard but may be reduced to zero feet through the Site Plan Review process provided blank o!,ir•"' walls are not located within the reduced setback; and a 15 foot maximum front yard setback. It r:1 •,./'~ appears the proposal complies with the setbacks of the zone. }, ,-,., ;Jd 'it appears that the restaurant exceeds the maximum front yard setback allowed by code. The 2 '' maximum setback may be modified by the Reviewing Official through the site development plan review process if the applicant can demonstrate that the site development plan meets the Jo/lawing criteria: a. Orients development to the pedestrian through such me.asures as providing pedestrian walkways beyond those required by the Renton Municipal Code (RMC}, encouraging pedestrian amenities and supporting alternatives to single occupant vehicle (SOV) transportation; and b. Creates a low scale streetscape through such measures as fostering distinctive architecture and mitigating the visual dominance of extensive and unbroken parking along the street front; and c. Promotes safety and visibility through such measures as discouraging the creation of hidden spaces, minimizing conflict between pedestrian and traffic and ensuring adequate setbacks to accommodate required parking and/or access that could not be provided otherwise. The location of the proposed drive-thru does not comply with above criteria. Therefore, staff would not be supportive of an increase in the maximum setback. The applicant would be required to comply with the maximum setback requirement of the zone. Gross Floor Area -There is no minimum requirement for gross floor area within the CA zone. Building Height -The maximum building height that would be allowed in the CA zone is SO feet. It appears the proposed structure would be well beneath the SO-foot maximum. Building elevations and detailed descriptions of elements and building materials are required with your land use application submittal. Screening -Screening must be provided for all surface-mounted and roof top utility and mechanical equipment. The site plan application will need to include elevations and details for the proposed methods of screening. i:\rtimmons\preapps\13-00093 (ca wendy's).doc -' l!IJ~' Wendy'sRestauran. ,rt Plat ~ ( 1 !/)Ill(, , t,,-vJ-f/l Page3of6 · l:J ....-111.r February 14, 2013 {11.U,,. fJV."__ ~ · Refuse and Recycling Areas -Refuse and recycling a~s need to meet the requirements of RMC 4-4-090, "Refuse and Recyclables Standards" (enclosed).

The location of the proposed refuse and recyclable area appears to comply with code standards. The size of the proposed refuse and recyclable area could not be verified with the pre- applicotion materials. 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. The development standards require that all pervious areas within the property boundaries be landscaped. The minimum on-site landscape width required along street frontages is 10 feet, except where reduced through the site plan development review process. Further landscaping requirements con be found below in the Design Guidelines. Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) for additional general and specific landscape requirements (enclosed). A conceptual landscape plan and landscape analysis meeting the requirements In RMC 4-8-120D.12, shall be submitted at the time of application for Site Plan Review. Tree Preservation -A tree inventory and a tree retention plan along with a tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least 5 percent of significant trees, and Indicate haw proposed parking would be sited to accommodate preservation of significant trees that would be retained. If the trees cannot be retained, they may be replaced with minimum 2 inch caliper trees at a rate- of six to one. Parkinu -The followinl! ratios would be apolicable to the site: Use Sg_uare Footaae gf_ Use Ratio Reg_uireg_ Spaces Restaurant Unknown Min and Max: 1 space / 75 Unknown SF of dining area It is unclear how many parking stalls would be provided on site. It is also unclear how many stalls would be required as the applicant did not provide the square footage of the proposed dining area. It Is likely that the proposed number of stalls will exceed the maximum allowed by code. · Where practical difficulties exist in meeting parking requirements, the applicant may request a modification from these standards. The applicant will be required at the time of formal land use application to provide detailed parking information (Le. stall and drive aisle dimensions) and calculations of the subject site and the overall campus use. The drive-through facilities shall be so located that sufficient on-site vehicle stacking space is provided for the handling of motor vehicles using such facility during peak business 'hours. Typically 5 stacking spaces per window are required unless otherwise determined by the i:\rtimmons\preapps\13-00093 (ca wendy's).doc 1 \ < Wendy's Restaurant Sho _ . Page 4 of 6 February 14, 2013 Planning Director. Stacking spaces cannot obstruct required parking spaces or ingress/egress within the site or extend into the public right-of-way. It appears the applicant's site plan provides adequate area for stacking spaces. The applicant will be required at the time of formal land use application to provide detailed parking information (i.e. stall and drive aisle dimensions) and calculations of the subject site and the overall campus use. It should be noted that the parking regulations specify standard stall dimensions. Surface parking stalls must be a minimum of 9 feet x 20 feet, compact dimensions of BY, feet x 16 feet, and parallel stall dimensions of 9 feet x 23 feet; compact surface parking spaces shall not account for more than 30 percent of the spaces in the surface parking lots. 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. Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070 and RMC 4-4-080F. 7) for further general and specific landscape requirements (enclosed). Additionally, the proposal would need to be revised in order to provide bicycle par~ based on10%o/therequirednumberofparkingstalls.

Address is as stated above. The project site will be 36,919 sfor .85 Acres. The project includes demolition of an existing 3,927 sf Sherri's building and construction of a new 3,227 sf, one-story, VB, building Wendy's Restaurant with drive thru lane. The current Sherri's Restaurant has 61 parking stalls and the proposed Wendy's will have 29 stalls. This will reduce the parking area by 32 stalls. Based upon our preapplication meeting, the project will require the following Land use permits: • Environmental Checklist (SEPA Review due to> 20 parking stalls) • Site Plan Review • Administrative Design Review for Conformance to Urban Design District "D." Zone of the subject site and Surrounding: Sites are Commercial Arterial (CA). Current Use of Site: Existing Sherri's Restaurant fully developed with an existing trash enclosure, 61 parking stalls, transformer, gas meter and landscaping. Special Site Features: No Wetlands/ wetland bodies, steep slopes Statement Addressing Soils Type and Drainage Considerations: Current soils type based upon a Geotechnical Engineer:ng report generated July 2013: At the current building footprinR E c:· f / 'v Fr·, O' to 2.5': Fill -Silty Sand .. . ·· L/ 2.5' to 12'-0" -Silt and silty sand OCT 2 2 2013 12' to 16'-6" -Silty sand c1ry r ,. ~-- '. . ot' ;,·;:Jnr.. \J Per our Geotechnical engineer, the soils was generally silty sand with trace gravel, darll'gi'liy1\toC11Seiw;;:• medium dense moist soil (Glacial Till) however, was not suitable for infiltration. Site paved surfaces will drain to catch basins and will be conveyed to a storm detention facility on-site, then thru a water quality system, then piped to the public conveyance system. Proposed use of the property and scope of the proposed development: Proposed use of the site will be a new quick serve restaurant with drive thru window with 29 parking stalls along the south side of the lot. The scope of the project will include demolition of the existing Sherri's building and paved parking lot and construction of a new Wendy's building with new parking layout with drive thru lane. 18012 W.

Cars will enter the site along the south side of the development off of a common vehicular access easement used by all tenants within the North Benson Plaza. Proposed Off-Site Improvements: Proposed off-site improvements include new landscaping within the existing north right-of-way and a new sidewalk to connect the pedestrian plaza at the NE comer of the lot to the existing sidewalk along the south side of SE Carr Road. Existing fire hydrants will remain in same location and will be adequate for this development per the fire department Total estimated construction costs for this project will be $400,000 for the building and $400,000 for site work -$800,000.00 Estimated Quantities and type of materials for fill: Site will be cleared and the new building will be sited to minimize cut/ fill on the site. Refer to Civil plans for cut/ fill for the new storm detention tanks. Estimated Cut: 2,075 cy cut (1200 cy due to detention tanks) Estimated Fill: 198 cy fill Number, Type and size of any trees to be removed: Refer to Sheet LI.I, Planting plan for existing and new trees to be used or removed from the site. There will be 6 existing trees (>6" diam) to be removed as depicted on the LI Planting Plan. There will be 6 additional trees removed that are < 6" diam. Land to be dedicated to the City: The existing Right of Way (ROW) is I 00' wide and the plan for future development has a 103' ROW. There will be a 1.5' land dedication to the city along the SE Carr Road frontage, refer to site plan. Proposed job shacks, sales trailers. model homes: There may be a job shack; approximate 8' x 12' to be located on-site for the construction phase, then will be removed after construction is complete. Modifications Proposed: Parking Modification needed to justify greater number of stalls than what was required by the City of Renton Development Standards. Per Development standards, 16 stalls were required. Current site plan shows 29 stalls. Distance in feet from wetland or stream: Not applicable; no wetlands/streams. Distance to closest area of work to Ordinary High Water Mark: Not Applicable Description of the nature of the existing shoreline: Not Applicable The approximate location of and number of residential unit: Not Applicable.

Kimura, Principal October 13, 2013 Construction Mitigation Description: Project: Proposed Wendy's Restaurant (Located on the existing Sheri's Restaurant Site) 10619 SE Carr Road Renton, WA 98058 Proposed Construction Dates: Proposed Construction Start Date: April 1, 2014 Proposed Construction Completion Date: July 1, 2014 Houn and Days of operation: Wendy's will be open 24 hours and will operate 7 days a week. Proposed Hauling / Transportation Routes Cut and fill will likely be transported west bound onto SE Carr Road to access Highway 167. Measures to be implemented to minimize: Dust: Likely not an issue during the winter/ spring time for construction as we anticipate the ground will be very wet. Traffic: Construction traffic will utilize the existing signalized approach off of SE Carr Road or either of the two approaches off of 108th Ave SE. We would anticipate the traffic generated by the construction of the proposed Wendy's would be quite a bit less than the existing Sherri's use. Transportation impacts: Cars entering and exiting the site will utilize existing access approaches to the site via SE Carr Road and also along 108th Ave SE. We do not anticipate heavy transportation impacts due to reasons stated above under Traffic. Eroson: Temporary Erosion Control Measures will be provided per the TESCP plan. All cut areas exposed to weather will be covered with material to mitigate erosion of the site materials until such time permanent material is installed that stabilize the land. This will be provided in the event there are wet conditions during the time excavation takes place Noise: Construction noise will be inevitable, however we believe the traffic noise generated along SE Carr Road and 108th Ave SE, will generate more noise that could block out the construction noise.

Maintain and protect property values; b. Enhance the general appearance of the City; c. Encourage creativity in building and site design; d. Achieve predictability, balanced with flexibility; and e. Consider the individual merits of proposals. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This design district checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. The City will use this checklist to determine whether the your proposal complies with the Urban Design Regulations in the Renton Municipal Code (RMC 4-3-100). Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. There are two categories that have been established: (a) "minimum standards" that must be met, and (b} "guidelines" that, while not mandatory, are considered by the Planning Director in determining if the proposed action meets the intent of the design guidelines. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. A. SITE DESIGN AND BUILDING LOCATION: Intent: To ensure that buildings are located in relation to streets and other buildings so that the Vision of the City of Renton can be realized for a high-density urban environment; so that businesses enjoy visibility from public rights-of-way; and to encourage pedestrian activity throughout the district. 1. Site Design and Street Pattern: Intent: To ensure that the City of Renton Vision can be realized within the Urban Center Districts; plan districts that are organized for efficiency while maintaining flexibility for future development at high urban densities and intensities of use; create and maintain a safe, convenient network of streets of varying dimensions for vehicle circulation; and provide service to businesses. Minimum Standard: Provide a network of public and/or private local streets in ad~~ E, \ Ii:.: D public arterials. · · ! V L OCT 2 2 2013 Page I of26 Site has an existing network of streets within the existing Fred Meyer Shopping Center and the subject proposal utilized the same approximate access points to the site along the south side. This accesses the existing parking lot area. No other new streets are proposed/or this small project. Minimum Standard: Maintain a hierarchy of streets to provide organized circulation that promotes use by multiple transportation modes and to avoid overburdening the roadway system. The hierarchy shall consist of {from greatest in size to smallest): We believe this standard does not apply to our project since inftrastructure has already been installed and we are developing a "pad" lot within an existing shopping center development. {a) High Visibility Street. A highly visible arterial street that warrants special design treatment to improve its appearance and maintain its transportation function. (b) Arterial Street. A street classified as a principal arterial on the City's Arterial Street Plan. (c) Pedestrian-Oriented Streets. Streets that are intended to feature a concentration of pedestrian activity. Such streets feature slow moving traffic, narrow travel lanes, on-street parking, and wide sidewalks. (d) Internal or local roads (public or private). 2. Building location and Orientation: Intent: To ensure visibility of businesses; establish active, lively uses along sidewalks and pedestrian pathways; organize buildings in such a way that pedestrian use of the district is facilitated; encourage siting of structures so that natural light and solar access are available to other structures and open space; enhance the visual character and definition of streets within the district; provide an appropriate transition between buildings, parking areas, and other land uses and the street; and increase privacy for residential uses located near the street. Minimum Standard: Orient buildings to the street with clear connections to the sidewalk. Building has been placed oriented to SE Ca" Road and has a clear public accessible sidewalk from the plaza to the street sidewalk. Minimum Standard: The front entry of a building shall not be oriented to a drive aisle, but instead a public or private street or landscaped pedestrian-only courtyard. Page 2 of26 Front building entry acesses a pedestrian plaza with tables, concrete benches an trees along the east side. Guideline: Ground floor residential uses located near the street should be raised above street level for residents' privacy. NA 3. Building Entries: Intent: To make building entrances convenient to locate and easy to access, and ensure that building entries further the pedestrian nature of the fronting sidewalk and the urban character of the district. Minimum Standard: A primary entrance of each building shall be located on the facade facing a street, shall be prominent, visible from the street, connected by a walkway to the public sidewalk, and include human-scale elements. The primary entrances were oriented to SE Carr Road with a prominent "blade" design to express primary entry and also accesses a pedestrian court yard. The court yard accesses both the parking to the south and the public sidewalk to the north. Human scaled elements include canopy type deciduous trees, 16" high concrete benches, concrete tables, garbage cans and a nice spacious paved courtyard Minimum Standard: Multiple buildings on the same site shall provide a continuous network of pedestrian paths and open spaces that incorporate landscaping to provide a directed view to building entries. Wendy's building is the only building on our site. However, it does relate to the adjacent buildging to the east by allowing access from the courtyard to the sidewalk to the adjacent building to the easL Access directly to the east is difftcult due to a 4-8' retaining wall that presendy exists. The site to the west is separated by the existing main vehicular drive and is accessible by existing cross walks. Minimum Standard: Ground floor units shall be directly accessible from the street or an open space such as a courtyard or garden that is accessible from the street. Not Applicable; no ground floor living units. However, our ground floor does access the street via the pedestrian courtyard feature and is open to the public sidewalk Page 3 of26 Minimum Standard: Secondary access (not fronting on a street) shall have weather protection at least 4-1/2 feet wide over the entrance or other similar indicator of access. Building design provides for transparency and a balance between solid and transparent proportions that did not allow for a solid overhang within the confines of the transparent secondary entrance. Minimum Standard: Pedestrian access shall be provided to the building from property edges, adjacent lots, abutting street intersections, crosswalks, and transit stops. Pedestrian access has been provided from the building to the property frontage and the eastern retail building by means of a public pltl!l.ll along the east side. The west side is also accessible by means of the public sidwalk and street crosswalk. Areas to the south do not have convenient pedestrian access due to the city mandating the building to front Carr Road and no buildings to the south to access conveniently. It is more than likely the customer will drive their car off the subject site to access the Fred Meyer building to the south if they choose to visit that store Guideline Standard: For projects that include residential uses, entries should provide transition space between the public street and the private residence such as a porch, landscaped area, terrace, common area, lobby, or similar feature. NA Guideline Standard: Features such as entries, lobbies, and display windows should be oriented to a street; otherwise, screening or art features such as trellises, artwork, murals, landscaping, or combinations thereof should be incorporated into the street-oriented facade. Subject development will have entries/lobbies that are oriented to SE carr Road. There is also a 35' of landscaping between the sidewalk and the building. Many of the existing deciduous trees will screen view of the upper portion of the building Guideline Standard: Entries from the street should be clearly marked with canopies, architectural elements, ornamental lighting, or landscaping. Entries from parking lots should be subordinate to those related to the street for buildings within District 'A'. Entry from street may not be used as much as the entry to the parking lot; however, it is clearly marked with Wendy's new signature "blade" design and a transparent sea of glass that the front entry door is located. This is intended to bring attention to the building ~ade blade and draw the eye to the main entry. Page4of26 4. Transition to Surrounding Development: Intent: To shape redevelopment projects so that the character and value of Renton's long- established, existing neighborhoods are preserved. Minimum Standard: Careful siting and design treatment are necessary to achieve a compatible transition where new buildings differ from surrounding development in terms of building height, bulk and scale. At least one of the following design elements shall be considered to promote a transition to surrounding uses: a. Setbacks at the side or rear of a building may be increased by the Reviewing Official in order to reduce the bulk and scale of larger buildings and so that sunlight reaches adjacent yards; Setbacks from adjacent bulldlngs are such that it will not block sunlight to these buildings. Building has been modulated to reduce bulk and thus scale. b. Building proportions, including step-backs on upper levels; Building elevations show step up and backs to achieve vertical modulation and interest. Division of a variety of building materials also allow the break up of the masses. c. Building articulation to divide a larger architectural element into smaller increments; or Building articulation is modulated horizontally and vertically to achieve smaller scaled masses and bring the building closer to human scale. d. Roof lines, roof pitches, and roof shapes designed to reduce apparent bulk and transition with existing development. Roof lines and the vertical modulation bring relieve to a "small box" design and is far enough away from adjacent buildings so it provides a good transition to the existing bulldlng development. 5. Service Element Location and Design: Intent: To reduce the potential negative impacts of service elements (i.e., waste receptacles, loading docks) by locating service and loading areas away from high-volume pedestrian areas, and screening them from view in high visibility areas. Minimum Standard: Service elements shall be located and designed to minimize the impacts on the pedestrian environment and adjacent uses. Service elements shall be concentrated and located where they are accessible to service vehicles and convenient for tenant use (see illustration, RMC4-3-100E7e). Trash enclosure is located along the southern portion of the development and ls far from the pedestrian plaza and drive thru operations. This shares the area where other bulldlng have placed their trash enclosure as well. Service vehicles have easy access from their truck to the dumpster. Unfortunately, the convenience factor has been reduced to achieve the other design requirements of placement, aesthetic presentation and smells that usually follow the dumpster areas. Minimum Standard: Garbage, recycling collection, and utility areas shall be enclosed, consistent with RMC 4-4-090, Refuse and Recyclables Standards, and RMC 4-4-095, Screening and Storage Height/Location Limitations. Trash enclosure is concealed on all four sides, 6' -6" in height, accessible by hinged gates along the east side. Page 5 of26 Minimum Standard: In addition to standard enclosure requirements, garbage, recycling collection, and utility areas shall be enclosed on all sides, including the roof and screened around their perimeter by a wall or fence and have self-closing doors (see illustration, RMC 4-3-100E7f). Subject trash enclosure Is enclosed on all four sides with a 6'-6" high fence, however does have an open roof. Minimum Standard: The use of chain link, plastic, or wire fencing is prohibited. Trash enclosure will be constructed out of pressure treated wood posts and a wood designed fence, 6' -6" in height. Minimum Standard: If the service area is adjacent to a street, pathway, or pedestrian- oriented space, a landscaped planting strip, minimum 3 feet wide, shall be located on 3 sides of such facility. Subject trash enclosure Is not adjacent to a street, pathway or pedstrian oriented space. Guideline: Service enclosure fences should be made of masonry, ornamental metal or wood, or some combination of the three. Trash Enclosure will be constructed from wood with pressure treated wood posts. 6. Gateways: Intent: To distinguish gateways as primary entrances to districts or to the City; provide special design features and architectural elements at gateways; and ensure that gateways, while they are distinctive within the context of the district, are compatible with the district in form and scale. Minimum Standard: Developments located at district gateways shall be marked with visually prominent features (see illustration, subsection RMC 4-3-100.E7g). Not a gateway district. Minimum Standard: Gateway elements shall be oriented toward and scaled for both pedestrians and vehicles (see illustration, subsection RMC 4-3-100.E7h). Not Applicable Minimum Standard: Visual prominence shall be distinguished by two or more of the following: a. Public art: b. Monuments; c. Special landscape treatment; d. Open space/plaza; e.

PLANNING DIVISION ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: City of Renton Planning Division 1055 South Grady Way-Renton, WA 98057 Phone: 425-430-7200 Fax: 425-430-7231 The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLiCANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact.

The Burden of proof as to the appropriateness of the application lies with the applicant. Whenever there are practical difficulties involved in carrying out the provisions of this Title, the Department Administrator may grant modifications for individual cases provided he/she shall first find 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. Please submit a written statement addressing and justifying how the modification request complies with each of the following issues to be considered by the Administrator: a.Substantially implements 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; Parking removed for the existing Sherri's building was 61 stalls. Subject Wendy's store has 29 stalls and the code requires 1 stall for each 75 sf of dining room area. 1205 sf / 75 = 16 parking stalls. From my observations in working with quick serve restaurants (QSR) for the past 20 years, majority of quick serve restaurants have a 25,000 to 35,000 sf site. The buildings are approximately 2100 to 3300 sf, in general and usually, required and prefer about 32-39 parking stalls.

Using the average of 1 stall per 100 sf of net floor area, a 3227 sf Wendy's would equate to about 2,900 net sf / 100 sf= 29 stalls minimum in other cities. b. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment; Extra parking reduces the parking burden on neighboring sites and creates safety, function, appearance and environmental protection by having the above mentioned parking ratios similar to neighboring cities. (1 stall per 100 sf net floor area, not 1:75 of dining only). c. Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity; Extra parking on-site wlll only assist In allowing this business to be freestanding and having their site accommodate their customer base clients. Extra parking wlll not be injurious to other properties, it will help Wendy's control their own parking demands on their own site. d. Conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code; For the above reasons, we believe the 13 extra stalls above the code minimum of 16 will conform to the intent and purpose of the code for others' well being e. Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and The extra parking from 16 to 29 stalls will satisfy the minimum parking requirements for a freestanding quick serve restaurant. Although many of these QSR restaurants vary in parking demand, we believe the 29 stalls will be Justified for this site. If majority of buildings and site sizes are In the ranges expressed In item a above, this is the reason the QSR's look for sites In the 25,000 to 35,000 sf range; to accommodate parking in the ranges of 22 to 39 stalls. f. Will not create adverse impacts to other property(ies) in the vicinity. Allowing the extra 13 parking stalls, It wlll not create adverse impacts to the adjacent property owners, but will assist them in not having to accommodate an over-parked facility and having neighbors or surface streets to bear the burden of extra cars that have no other place to park. Each faclllty should be able to accommodate their own parking requirements for their intended use. End of Parking Modification 18012 W.
