(Riley) has performed a geotechnicai engineering study for the above referenced subject site. Riley understands that the client is planning to demolish the existing buildings and build a four-story mixed use Regional Veteran's Center with associated parking and utilities. The attached report presents our findings and recommendations for the geotechnical anticipated aspects for the project design and construction. Our field exploration indicates that the site is generally underlain by 7 to 20 feet of loose silty SAND with soft silt layer overlying medium dense to dense SAND with trace gravel to sandy GRAVEL. Groundwater seepage was encountered at depth of 13.0 feet below ground surface during our field exploration. Based on the subsurface soil condition, the site that is underlain by loose sand has a potential of liquefaction during earthquake event. If the proposed building is directly supported on spread footing foundation bearing on the loose soil, it will experience excessive settlements during earthquake event. Therefore, we recommend supporting the proposed building and floor slab on pile foundation to transfer the structure load to the competent native soil below loose layer. The pavement can be supported on 12 inches of structural fill after overexcavation.

Geotechnical Engineering Report 1 March 4, 2008 Regional Veteran's Center, Renton, WA Project #2008-034 1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project site is located at 403 South 2°d Street in Renton, Washington, shown in the project vicinity map (Figure 1). The site is currently occupied by a church.lauiIding and two buildings. The site is essentially asphalt paved around the buildings. Riley understands that the client intends to demolish the existing buildings and construct a mixed use building for Regional Veteran's Center (approximately 65,000 square feet) with associated parking and utilities. Riley's understanding of the project is based on the pre - application site plans prepared by Baylis Architects, Inc, dated December 20, 2007. Based on the plans, the proposed building will be a four-story structure supported on perimeter bearing walls and a series of isolated columns. We anticipate that the building loads will be from 6 to 8 kips per linear foot for perimeter walls, and up to 250 kips for interior isolated columns. The recommendations in the following sections of this report are based upon our understanding of the above design features. If actual features vary or changes are made, we should review them in order to modify our recommendations as required. In addition, Riley requests to review final design drawings and specifications to verify that our project understanding is correct and that our recommendations have been properly interpreted and incorporated into project design and construction. 2.0 SCOPE OF WORK On February 5, 2008, Riley drilled a total of three test borings to a maximum depth of 31.5 feet below ground surface (bgs). Test borings were drilled with truck -mounted, hollow - stem auger drill rigs. Test borings were drilled within the proposed building footprint and parking area. The approximate test boring locations are shown on Figure 2. Using the information obtained from our subsurface exploration, we performed analyses to develop geotechnical recommendations for project design and construction on the following: ➢ Soil and groundwater conditions ➢ Seismic considerations ➢ Site preparation and grading ➢ Structural fill recommendations ➢ Foundation support 3.0 SITE CONDITIONS 3.1 Surface ➢ Slab -on -grade support ➢ Drainage ➢ Utilities ➢ Pavements The site includes three parcels of land approximately 27,770 square feet. The site is bounded by South 2nd Street to the north, Morris Avenue South to the east, an office building and utility easement to the south, and Whitworth Avenue South to the west. The Riley Group, Inc. Geotechnical Engineering Report 2 March 4, 2008 Regional Veteran's Center Renton, WA Project #2008-034 The site is currently occupied by a two-story brick building (Renton Lutheran Church) in the west portion of the site. A one-story building for church classroom and a single-family residence occupy in the east portion of the site. The rest of the areas are asphalt -paved parking lots and driveways. The site is relatively flat with an overall elevation less than two feet across the site. 3.2 Soils The soils encountered in the test borings are relatively consistent across the site. The soil profile includes 7 to 20 feet of loose silty SAND with soft silt layer overlying medium dense to dense SAND with trace gravel to sandy GRAVEL. The Geologic Map of King County, Washington, by V.E Livingston Jr, (1970) indicated that the native site soils were mapped as alluvium deposit (Qa). The soils include mostly unconsolidated silt, sand, and gravel valley fill with some clay and local artificial fill and peat layers. This description is generally consistent with our findings during field exploration except peat was not encountered. More detailed descriptions of the subsurface conditions encountered are presented on the Test Boring Logs, Figures A-2 through A-7 in Appendix A. Sieve analysis was performed on selected soil samples. Grain size distribution curves are included in Figures A-8 and A- 9. 3.3 Groundwater Groundwater seepage was encountered at 13.0 feet bgs in the test borings during our field exploration. The groundwater table seems to be the static water level in the area. Based on the soil color change, the season -high groundwater Ievel may be up to 5 feet bgs during the wet season. Fluctuations in groundwater level should be expected on a seasonal and annual basis. The level will be highest during the extended periods of heavy seepage in the wet winter months. Given the time that the field exploration was performed, Riley believes that the groundwater should be below the season -high level. 3.4 Seismic Considerations Based on the 2003 International Building Code (IBC), the site soil is Class E (Table 1615.1.1). The earthquake spectral response acceleration at short periods (SS) is 133% g and at 1-second period (SI) is 46% g. Riley reviewed the Seismic Hazard Areas Map prepared by Technical Services, City of Renton dated January 22, 2008. The review indicates that the project site is mapped as a potential seismic hazard area. Liquefaction Liquefaction is a phenomenon where there is a reduction or complete loss of soil strength due to an increase in water pressure induced by vibrations from a seismic event. The Riley Group, Inc. Geotechn.ical Engineering Report 3 March 4, 2008 Regional Veteran's Center, Renton, WA Project #2008-034 Liquefaction mainly affects geologically recent deposits of fine-grained sands that are below the groundwater table. Soils of this nature derive their strength from intergranular friction. The generated water pressure or pore pressure essentially separates the soil grains and eliminates this intergranular friction, thus reducing or eliminating the soil's strength. For liquefaction analysis, soil information obtained from the test borings B-3 was used. Groundwater level was assumed to be 5 feet bgs. Analysis indicated the loose layer intercepted between 5 and 20 feet bgs may liquefy under severe earthquake ground motions (Magnitude 7 and horizontal acceleration 0.25g) or moderate ground shaking of significant duration. The total ground settlement of up to 5.0 inches is possible upon dissipation of excess pore pressures generated during a seismic event. The resulting differential settlement may be up to 3.5 inches. The analysis was attached in Appendix B. 4.0 DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 4.1 General Based on our study, the major geotechnical concern for the development is that the site has a potential of liquefaction during an earthquake event. if the building foundation is directly supported on spread footing foundation bearing on loose soil, it will subject to a significant amount of settlement during an earthquake. To avoid the excessive settlement, the general practice in the area is to support the building on pile foundations to transfer the structural load to competent soil below the liquefaction zone. The building slab can be similarly supported on pile foundation. The pavement section can be supported on structural fill after overexcavation Detailed recommendations regarding the above issues and other geotechnical design considerations are provided in the following sections. These recommendations should be incorporated into the final design drawings and construction specifications. 4.2 Site Preparation and Grading To prepare the site for construction, the existing buildings and pavement within the proposed development area should be demolished and stripped. Surface stripping depths of up to 6 inches should be expected to remove the asphalt surface. All remnants related to previous site construction should also be cleared and removed from the site. Once stripping, clearing and other preparing operations are complete, cuts and fills can be made to establish desired building grades. The native soil has a high percentage of fines and is characteristically moisture sensitive. Riley recommends that all site grading and earthwork activities be performed in dry weather conditions. The owner/contractor should be prepared to deal with soft ground problems if the earthwork occurs during periods of precipitation, particularly if construction occurs during the wet winter season. The Riley Group, Inc. Geotechnical Engineering Report 4 March 4, 2008 Regional Veteran's Center, Renton, WA Project #2008-034 Based on our experience in the Pacific Northwest, a combination of 18 inches of crushed rock over a geotextile fabric such as Mirafi 50OX on native soil subgrade should be sufficient to establish a stable grade for construction equipment if the construction occurs during periods of precipitation or in the wet season. The native soil has a high percentage of fines and will not be suitable for being used as structural fill. We recommend importing a material that meets the grading requirements listed in Table 1. Table 1. Structural Fill U.S. Sieve Size Percent Passing 3 inches 100 percent No. 4 sieve 0 to 75 percent No. 200 sieve 0 to 5 percent *Based on minus 3/4 inch fraction. Prior to use, Riley should examine and test all materials imported to the site for use as structural fill. Structural fill materials should be placed in uniform loose layers not exceeding 12 inches and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the soil's maximum density, as determined by ASTM Test Designation D-1557 (Modified Proctor) until the desired finished grade is met. The moisture content of the soil at the time of compaction should be within about two percent of its optimum, as determined by this ASTM method. 4.3 Foundations As discussed above, the major geotechnical concern with this project is loose soil underlying the site. If the foundation is directly supported on the existing ground surface, the building will subject liquefaction settlement. To avoid excessive building settlement, we recommend supporting the building using piles to transfer building loads to the competent native soil. Driven Piles The proposed building can be supported on drivel timber pile foundations. Based on our experience, Riley recommends that &- to 10-inch diameter timber piles be used. The minimum pile embedment depth is 10 feet into the competent native soil (dense sandy gravel) below the loose soil layer. For structural design and pile layout, the pile capacities listed in Table 2 should be used. The Riley Group, Inc. Geoteehnical Engineering Report 5 March 4, 2008 Regional Veteran's Center, Renton, WA Project 92008-034 Table 2: Pile Axial Compression Loads (tons) Pipe Diameter Compression Load Uplift Load Lateral Load* 8" 25 T 5 2.5 10" 35 12.5 3.5 *Assume one inch deflection on top of pile. Riley expects that the pile capacities can be reached at 25 to 30 feet bgs. However, the actual pile termination depth should be determined in the field based on pile driving conditions. A pile load test is recommended to verify the design pile capacities. Full single pile capacities can be used, provided that pile spacing is at least three pile diameters. For closer spacing, there will be a slight reduction in the allowable single pile capacity due to group effects. The amount of this reduction will depend on the number of piles in the group and their spacing. We can provide this information, if required. The lateral load capacity assumes 1-inch deflection on the top of the pile. Following the successful installation of the driven piles, you should expect maximum total and differential post -construction settlements of/4-inch to'/2-inch. Augercast Pile As an alternative, the proposed building can be supported on augereast pile foundations. Augercast piles are constructed using a hollow stem auger advanced in the ground to a predetermined tip elevation. When the bearing depth is reached, cement grout is injected under pressure through the stem of the auger, and the auger is slowly extracted froze the ground. Reinforcing steel, as required, is then set into the completed grout column. Table 3 Iists recommended allowable axial and lateral capacities for the most common 12 and 18- inch diameter auger cast pile used in the area. The soil profile was rased on the soil information obtained from test borings B-1 and B-3. Riley recommends that the minimums pile depth be 25 feet bgs. The augercast piles can be designed and constructed using the following pile capacities detailed in Table 3. Table 3, Augercast Pile Design Capacities (tons) Pile Diameter 129' Compression Load 40 Uplift Load 15 Lateral Load* 4 18" 60 25 5 *Assume one inch deflection on top of pile. Full single pile capacities can be used, provided that pile spacing is at least three pile diameters. For closer spacing, there will be a slight reduction in the allowable single pile capacity due to group effects. The amount of this reduction will depend on the number of The Riley Group, Inc. Geotechnical Engineering Report b March 4, 2008 Regional Veteran's Center, Renton, WA Project #2008-034 piles in the grouping and their spacing. We can provide this information, if required. The lateral load capacity assumes 1-inch deflection on the top of the pile, The pressure used to inject the grout and construct the pile column will compress the soils immediately adjacent to the pile. As a result, the amount of grout needed to form the pile will be greater than the computed grout volume. For estimating purposes, a volume increase of 25 percent should be used. Also, the installation sequence should be such that piles are constructed at a minimum spacing of five diameters. Once the grout has achieved its initial set, usually in 24 hours, installation between these locations can be completed. The auger should be extracted slowly and uniformly below a sufficient and consistent head of grout. If the auger is extracted too quickly, the pile may neck down and soil may collapse into the pile, reducing its structural integrity. At an accessible and easily read location along the inject line, the piling contractor should install a pressure gauge to monitor the grout pressure during construction. The amount of grout used in forming the pile should also be determined. This can be accomplished by calibrating the grout pump and determining the volume of grout pumped per piston stroke. 4.4 Slab -on -Grade Construction The floor slab should be supported on pile foundation. With site preparation completed as described in the Site Preparation and Grading section, suitable support for slab -on -grade construction should be provided. Immediately below the floor slab, we recommend placing a 4-inch thick capillary break layer of clean, free -draining sand or gravel that has less than 5 percent passing the No. 200 sieve. This material will reduce the potential for upward capillary movement of water through the underlying soil and subsequent wetting of the floor slab. Where moisture by vapor transmission is undesirable, an S to 10-mil thick plastic membrane should be placed on a 4-inch thick layer of clean gravel. The membrane should be covered with 1 to 2 inches of clean, moist sand to guard against damage during construction and to aid in curing of the concrete. 4.5 Drainage Surface Final exterior grades should promote free and positive drainage away from building. Water must not pond or collect adjacent to foundations or within the immediate building area. We recommend providing a minimum drainage gradient of 3% for a minimum distance of 10 feet from the building perimeter, except in paved locations. In paved locations, a minimum gradient of 1% should be provided unless provisions are included for collection and disposal of surface water adjacent to the structure. The Riley Group, Inc. Geotechnical Engineering Report 7 March 4, 2008 Regional Veteran's Center, Renton, WA Project #2008-034 4.6 Utilities Utility pipes should be bedded and backfilled in accordance with American Public Works Association (APWA) specifications. For site utilities located within the City of Renton right-of-ways, bedding and backfill should be completed in accordance with City of Renton specifications. The trench backfill should be placed and compacted as structural fill, as described in the Site Preparation and Grading section. Since Iiquefiable soil is underlying the proposed utilities, the utilities will experience settlement during seismic events. Riley recommends that flexible joints should be used to avoid damages due to settlements. Where utilities occur below unimproved areas, the degree of compaction can be reduced to a minimum of 90 percent of the soil's maximum density as determined by the referenced ASTM standard. As noted, excavated soils are not suitable to be used as backfill. The backfill material should satisfy the structural fill requirements listed in the Site Preparation and Grading section. 4.7 Pavements Pavement subgrades should be prepared as described in the Site Preparation and Grading section of this report and as discussed below, The subgrade should consist of 12 inches of structural fill over native soil. Typically, a geotextile fabric such as Amoco 2002 or equivalent should be placed on the SUbgrade. Regardless of the relative compaction achieved, the subgrade must be firm and relatively unyielding before paving. This condition should be verified by proof -rolling with heavy construction equipment or hand probe by inspector. With the pavement subgrade prepared as described above, we recommend that the general parking area be paved with flexible pavement surface. The following pavement sections are recommended: ➢ For heavy truck traffic areas: 3.5 inches of asphalt concrete (AC) over 8 inches of crushed rock base (CRB) over 12 inches of structural fill; and ➢ For general parking areas: 2.5 inches of AC over 6 inches of CRB over 12 inches of structural fill. The asphalt paving materials used should conform to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) specifications for Class B asphalt concrete and CRB surfacing. Long-term pavement performance will depend on surface drainage. A poorly -drained pavement section will be subject to premature failure as a result of surface water infiltrating into the subgrade soils and reducing their supporting capability. For optimum pavement performance, surface drainage gradients of no less than two percent are recommended. Also, some degree of longitudinal and transverse cracking of The Riley Group, Inc. Geotechnical Engineering Report & March 4, 2008 Regional Veteran's Center, Renton, WA Project #2008-034 the pavement surface should be expected over time. Regular maintenance should be planned to seal cracks when they occur. 5.0 ADDITIONAL SERVICES Riley is available to provide further geotechnical consultation as the project design develops. We should review the final design and specifications in order to verify that earthwork and foundation recommendations have been properly interpreted and incorporated into project design and construction. Riley is also available to provide geotechnical engineering and monitoring services during construction. The integrity of the earthwork and construction depends on proper site preparation and procedures. In addition, engineering decisions may have to be made in the field in the event that variations in subsurface conditions become apparent. Construction monitoring services are not part of this scope of work. If these services are desired, please let us know and we will prepare a cost proposal. 6.0 LIMITATIONS This report is the property of The Riley Group, Inc., Shelter Resources, Inc., Compass Center, and their designated agents, and was prepared in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering practices.

We explored subsurface soil conditions at the site by advancing three test borings to a maximum depth of 31.5 feet below existing grade. The test boring locations are shown on Figure 2. The test boring locations were approximately determined by measurements from existing property lines and streets. The Test Boring Logs are presented on Figures A-2 through A-7. A geologist/engineer from our office conducted the field exploration and classified the soil conditions encountered, maintained a log of each test boring, obtained representative soil samples, and observed pertinent site features. All soil samples were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) described on Figure A-1. Representative soil samples obtained from the test borings were placed in closed containers and taken to our laboratory for further examination and testing. The moisture content of a typical sample was measured and is reported on the Test Boring Logs. Grain size analyses were performed on selected samples, the results of which are shown on Figure A-8 and A-9. The Riley Group, Inc.

Project Overview 2. Surface Water Drainage 3.Off-Site Analysis 1. PROJECT OVERVIEW The proposed mixed -use development is named "Regional Veteran's Complex" and will consist of a 4-story mixed -use building located on the south side of South Second Street and between Whitworth Avenue South and Morris Avenue South. The 0.68 acre site is currently developed and is located in the northwest quarter of Section 18, Township 23, Range 5 in Renton Washington. The site is within the Urban Center — Downtown (UC- D) Comprehensive Plan designation and is implemented by the Center Downtown Zoning (CD) to provide high -density residential and mixed -use commercial centers serving a regional market as well as adjacent residences. The existing ground coverage over the site is mostly pavement with some grassy landscaped areas and is relatively flat. No wetlands are located on or within the vicinity of the site. Pre -application comments from the City of Renton are attached in the Appendix of this report. Per the pre -application comments received from the City of Renton, the 1990 King County Surface Water Manual (KCSWM) was adhered to in the design of the onsite stormwater facilities. The Regional Veteran's Complex project is exempt from detention and water quality requirements. 2. SURFACE WATER DRAINAGE As discussed at the pre -application meeting, no detention will be required for the proposed project. Core Requirement #3 Flow Control of the 1990 King County Surface Water Design Manual (1990 KCSWDM) states that on -site peak runoff control will not be required if the project proposes to construct 5,000 square feet, or less, of new impervious surface. The existing site is practically 100% impervious and will remain that way in the developed condition. This project proposes to construction 4,392 square feet of new impervious surface, and is therefore, exempt from the on -site peak runoff control requirement This project will reduce the amount of pollution generating impervious surface (pgis) from 21,714 square feet to 6,739 square feet due to the increased roof size of the proposed building. KCSDWM Section l .2.3 does not require project runoff to be treated prior to discharge for areas smaller than 5,000 square feet of new impervious surfaces. Therefore, no water quality treatment is required. 3.OFF-SITE ANALYSIS 3. OFF -SITE ANALYSIS Upstream Tributary Area The existing topography of the site is higher than the surrounding areas. All offsite flow is collected by a series of catch basins along the adjacent roadways; therefore, no upstream areas contribute runoff to this property. See below for a detailed narrative of the dovsnstream system. Downstream Analysis On April 17, 2008 a site visit was conducted. The purpose of this site visit was to determine the surface water flow characteristics of this site and assess the locations of surface water running off of this property. The weather was cool with overcast skies and the temperature was around 60 degrees. There were no signs of substantial precipitation noticed at the site. The site is bordered by South Second Avenue to the north, Morris Avenue South to the east, Whitworth Avenue South to the west, and existing buildings to the south. The existing topography of the existing Parcel A slopes towards the south and east into two existing catch basins, which then conveys water offsite to a nearby catch basin. The existing topography of Parcel C slopes towards an existing catch basin located in the northwestern corner of the parcel and also discharges to a nearby catch basin. During rainfall events, all runoff from the site is captured by these three existing catch basins and conveyed offsite. The downstream investigation began along the southwestern boundary of the site on Whitworth Avenue South. There are two catch basins located in Whitworth Avenue South. Our connection into the existing system will be into the larger, bricked -up catch basin (See Photo 43). To the north of this catch basin is a Type 1 catch basin. The lid of this Type 1 catch basin was lifted to verify that offsite street runoff was discharge from the Type I into the bricked -up catch basin. The bricked -up catch basin, which had a "sewer" lid on it, had one outlet and three inlet pipes. The pipes to the north and south were 6" concrete pipe and the pipes to the northwest and southeast were 12" concrete pipe. Following the pipe to the southwest a distance of 155', a Type I catch basin (See Photo #2) was found with a crack in the existing 12" concrete pipe. From the orientation of the connection of the pipe, it was assumed that flow travels from southeast to northwest. To confirm this, the pipe was followed 100' to the southwest where a Type I catch basin (See Photo #1) was found with only an outlet pipe, which was also a 12" concrete pipe. Starting back at the bricked -up catch basin along Whitworth Avenue South it was hard to determine exactly where the 12" concrete pipe discharged to. Standing over the manhole and lining up with the outlet pipe it appeared as if the outlet pipe ran straight through the adjacent building. Walking along the backside of the adjacent building, a Type I catch basin was found with no 12" inlet or outlet pipe. A small 4" pipe was found which appeared to be a footing drain. It was the only pipe entering this catch basin. Approximately 330' northwest of the bricked -up catch basin along Whitworth Avenue South was another manhole located on Shattuck Avenue South with a "sewer" lid on it. Opening this manhole revealed a 12" concrete pipe entering from the southeast and discharging to the northwest. 80' to the northwest was a Type II manhole, which only had a pipe flowing to the north and south. Walking 550' west on the north and south side of South Second Avenue, there was no outlet pipe for this 12" pipe found. The City of Renton's Storm — Surface Water Plans confirms that this pipe just ends with no outfall (See Appendix). At the current time we are still coordinating efforts with the City of Renton's Surface -- Water Division to determine the discharge location of this pipe.

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, Zoning Administrator, Planning/Building/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, plus tax, from the Finance Division on the first floor of City Hall, Development Regulations are also available for review at no charge in the office of the City Clerk on the 7�' floor, at Development Services on the 6th :door and at the Renton Library. Project Proposal: The proposal is to construct a 4-story mixed -use building on 3 abutting parcels in downtown Renton (7841800045, 7841800080, and 7841800075). The combined area is approximately 29,772 square feet (0.68 acre). The site fronts on S 2nd St, between Whitworth and Morris Avenues NE, across from Renton High School and the IKEA Performing Arts Center. The project would include 57 apartment residential units on three floors above 8,000 square feet of commercial space. Parking would be outside of the building, both covered, but not enclosed on the site and surface parking on the abutting public utility right-of-way. The apartments would consist of studio, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom units. The building would contain a total of 38 studio, 9 two bedroom, and 11 three bedroom units. Recreational space would include a youth and children's recreational room and an outdoor community terrace and play area on the second floor, a smoking lounge and shared outdoor deck on the third floor, and a recreational room and shared outdoor deck on the third floor. Commercial uses on the ground floor are subject to the use table for the Center Downtown, RMC 4-2-070L (included herewith). A portion of the building would be used for continuing Lutheran Church ministry, Current Use: The property is currently the site of the Renton Lutheran Church, a multi -story brick structure built in 1946; 2 single -story wood frame buildings constructed in 1924 and Pm07-113 Regional Veteran's Center (CD, mixed-use).doc 1930 and used as classrooms or office by the church; and associated surface parking. All structures would be removed from the site prior to construction. Comprehensive Plan: The site is within the Urban Center —Downtown (UC-D) Comprehensive Plan designation. The UC-D is expected to redevelop as a destination shopping area providing neighborhood, citywide, and sub -regional services and mixed -use residential development. UC-D residential development is expected to support urban scale multi -family projects at high densities, consistent with Urban Center policies. Projects in the UC-D area expected to incorporate mixed -uses including retail, office, residential, and service uses that support transit and further the synergism of public and private sector activities. In the surrounding neighborhoods, infill urban scale townhouse and multi -family residential developments are anticipated. Zoning: The UC-D is implemented by the Center Downtown Zoning (CD). The intent of the CD zone is to provide high -density residential and mixed -use commercial centers serving a regional market as well as adjacent residences. In addition, the site is located within the Urban Design Overlay District (see below). Development. Standards: The proposal's compliance with the CD zone development standards and the parking regulations is addressed below; Lot Size, Width and Depth; There are no standards for lot size, width, or depth in the CD zone. Lot Coverage — For properties located outside the Downtown Core Area, as is this site, the standards regarding maximum lot coverage for buildings are applicable. The maximum coverage is 65 percent of the total property area or 75 percent when parking is within a garage or within the building (structured parking). The parking is proposed to be surface parking; a portion covered by the 2r'd floor terrace and other upper story building areas, but not enclosed in a parking garage ("open on three sides"). Therefore the maximum site coverage by the building is 65 percent. It appears the proposed project would cover about 60 percent of the site with the building, The site data must include the lot coverage calculations. Density — The permitted density range in the CD zone is a minimum of 25 dwelling units per acre to a maximum of 100 dwelling units per acre (du/ae). Net density is calculated after sensitive areas, access easements, and areas to be dedicated to public right-of-way are deducted from the gross area of the site. It does not appear that there are sensitive areas, access easements, or public rights -of -way to be deducted from the gross area of the property. The proposal for 44 units on the 29,772 square foot site arrives at a net density of 64.3 8 du/a, which is within the permitted density range for the CD zone. Setbacks: In the CD (outside of the Downtown Core) the minimum front setback is 10 feet for the first 25 feet of building height. For that portion of the building greater than 25 feet in height; the minimum ,setback is 15 feet. It appears that the proposed setback is 5 feet. For side yards along a street, the minimum setback is 15 feet for the first 25 feet of building height. There is no side yard requirement for portions of a building greater than 25 feet in height. These setbacks would be required on the east and west sides of the building (Morris and Whitworth). Pre07-113 Regional Veteran's Center (CD, mixed-use),doc There is no rear yard setback requirement. Land s_ca in -- There is a minimum landscaping requirement in the CD of 10 along street frontages. Height — The CD zone allows a maximum building height of 95 feet.

Building elevations and detailed descriptions of elements and building materials are required with the site plan review submittal. Screening — Screening must be provided for all surface -mounted and roof top utility and mechanical equipment. In addition, garbage dumpsters and recyclable areas must be screened pursuant to RMC section. 4-4-090.C.7.

In addition, the City's parking regulations provide specific requirements for accessible parking spaces. Surface parking spaces must comply with the minimum dimensions for standards and compact stalls, with a maximum of 50 percent compact allowed). Deskk — The site is subject to the Urban Center Overlay District Regulations RMC 4-3- 100. These regulations contain both standards and guidelines that affect site planning and architecture including building and parking siting, design and materials, modulation, common open space, access and parking. Several standards are directly applicable to this project and should be considered thoroughly before a detailed design Pre07-I 13 Regional Veteran's Center (CD, mixed-use),doo is fmalized. Within the regulations, the intent of each element must be met and clearly demonstrated by the project. The "Minimum Standards" for Design District `A' are required. "Guidelines" for District `A' are suggestions of how the intent may be met, but are not required outright. Sensitive Areas: Based on the City's Critical Areas Maps, the site is located in a Seismic Hazard Area. The seismic hazard is related to potential liquefaction of soils during an earthquake event. A geotechnical analysis for the site is required. The analysis needs to assess soil conditions and detail construction measures to assure building stability..__._..... . In addition to the geotechnical analysis, the applicant may be required to submit an archeological resource survey of the site due to the poten.tial.of archeological resources present on site. This report will not be required at the time of formal land use application, however it may be required at a later time based on comments the City receives from the State Office of Archeology and Historic Preservation. In order to complete this report, the applicant will be required to hire a state approved archeologist to conduct the site investigation and prepare a report to the State Office of Archeology and Historic Preservation.

The proposal would require Site Plan approval, a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit, and Environmental ($EPA) Review. In addition to the required land use pennits, 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 would be required prior to the issuance of building permits. t A Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per new daily trip attributed to the development; w A Parks Mitigation Fee based on $354.51 per new multi -family unit; and, ♦ A Fire Mitigation Fee based on $388.00 per multi -family unit.
