In response to 22 examiner questions Ms. Weihs responded that all pervious portions of the project are landscaped. 23 Imad BahBah, project architect, stated the Applicant is supportive of the staff recommendation except for the requirement to put a landscaping strip in front of the sidewalk. All other landscaping strips in 24 the area are put behind the sidewalk. For the width of the property, which is about 160 feet along the 25 frontage, it doesn't make sense to have to transition the strip to the front of the sidewalk. There are also two driveways there, so it is a strange transition point to change the location of the landscaping 26 strip. CONDITIONAL USE - 1 1 The Examiner asked if there would be any objections to looking to Google earth photographs of the 2 project site to reviewing surrounding frontage landscaping. There were no objections. 3 Ms. Weihs rebutted that abutting properties don't have landscaping between curb and sidewalk 4 because those properties are nonconforming. The new landscaping requirement is a safety requirement to provide separation between pedestrians and the roadway. 5 6 Exhibits 7 Exhibits 1-15 identified at Page 2 of the February 19, 2019 staff report were admitted into the record 8 during the hearing. The following exhibits were also admitted during the hearing: 9 Exhibit 16: Staff PowerPoint 10 Exhibit 17: City of Renton COR maps Exhibit 18: Google aerial photographs 11 12 FINDINGS OF FACT 13 Procedural: 14 1. Applicant. Ivan Feltson, First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church, 3811 NE 21st ST, Renton, WA 15 98056. 16 2. Hearing. A hearing was held on the application on February 19, 2019 in the City of Renton 17 Council Chambers. 18 3. Project Description. The Applicant has applied for a conditional use permit, parking 19 modification and street modification to expand the First Ukranian Pentecostal Church located at 3811 NE 21st St. (Parcel nos. 0423059237 and 0423059307). The west parcel (0423059237) is 65,340 20 square feet (1.5 acres) and is developed with an existing church and paved parking areas. The east parcel (0423059307) is 43,560 square feet (1 acre) and is partially developed with paved and gravel 21 parking. The proposed project includes parking lot expansion, a building addition to the existing 22 church sanctuary, and stormwater infrastructure construction within the two parcels. The existing church is currently 17,211 square feet. The church sanctuary addition will increase the building size to 23 18,961 square feet. The site currently has 99 parking stalls. The Applicant proposes to add an additional 77 stalls, for a total of 176 parking stalls. Current access for the site is via two existing curb 24 cuts off of NE 21st St. 25 4. Surrounding Uses. The project site is surrounded by single-family development all zoned as 26 R-6. CONDITIONAL USE - 2 1 5. Adverse Impacts. There are no significant adverse impacts associated with the proposal. 2 Pertinent impacts are more specifically addressed as follows; 3 A. Compatibility/Noise/Light/Glare. As conditioned, the proposal will not create any 4 significant noise or light impacts. Activities and assemblies would be held indoors. Exterior noise impacts would be limited to vehicles arriving and departing the site. The 5 Applicant states that additional parking lot lighting is proposed in the SEPA checklist 6 (Exhibit 14); however, this lighting was not shown on the provided site plan (Exhibit 3). Details of the lighting plan were not provided with the project application, therefore, a 7 condition of approval requires that an on-site lighting plan be provided with the Civil Construction permit application demonstrating compliance with RMC 4-4-075, which 8 prohibits light trespass to adjoining properties 9 The proposal is compatible with adjoining development because of the absence of noise 10 and light impacts and the installation of perimeter landscaping to buffer it from adjoining residential uses as identified in Finding of Fact No. 5(E) and retention of trees as identified 11 in Finding of Fact No. 5(F). 12 B. Critical Areas and Natural Features. There are no critical areas at the project site. I3 C. Parking. The existing parking complies with the City's parking standards so the proposal 14 is found to provide for adequate parking. 15 The project site currently has 99 existing parking stalls. The Applicant proposes to add an 16 additional 77 stalls, for a total of 176 parking stalls. For religious institutions, the regulations require a minimum and maximum of 1 for every 5 seats in the main auditorium. 17 Religious institution seating capacity outside of the auditorium is subject to "outdoor and indoor sports arenas, auditoriums, stadiums, movie theaters, and entertainment clubs" uses, 18 which requires a minimum and maximum of 1 for every 4 fixed seats. The Applicant is 19 proposing a total of 432 seats within the sanctuary, which would require a total of 86 parking stalls. There are a total of 220 seats outside of the sanctuary within the banquet 20 and meeting rooms, which requires a total of 55 parking spaces. The minimum and maximum number of parking stalls required by the development is 141 parking spaces. The 21 Applicant's proposal exceeds parking requirements. 22 The Applicant has submitted a parking modification request (Exhibit 13) in order to exceed 23 the maximum number of permitted parking stalls by 35 parking spaces, for a total of 176 parking spaces. Of the 176 proposed on-site parking spaces, 6 spaces would be ADA 24 accessible and 92 spaces (52%) would be compact. The maximum number of compact parking spaces permitted by code per RMC 4-4-080F.8.c.iii, is 30%. The proposed parking 25 expansion exceeds the maximum percentage of compact parking spaces; therefore, a 26 condition of approval requires that the Applicant submit a revised site plan and landscape CONDITIONAL USE - 3 1 plan that demonstrates compliance with maximum compact spaces regulations for review and approval by the Current Planning Project Manager at the time of Civil Construction 2 Permit. 3 The existing and proposed parking stalls are located on two separate parcels (Parcel nos. 4 0423059237 and 0423059307). Approximately 60 parking spaces are located on the same lot as the existing church building (parcel number 0423059237). The remaining 116 5 parking spaces are located on a separate parcel (parcel number 0423059307). Both parcels 6 are owned by First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church. In order to ensure that the proposal complies with minimum parking space regulations, a condition of approval requires that the 7 Applicant submit an application for Lot Combination for Parcel numbers 0423059237 and 0423059307. 8 9 D. Vehicular and Pedestrian Circulation. As determined by City public works staff, the project assures for adequate and appropriate transportation facilities and the safe I 0 movement of vehicles and pedestrians. 11 A Traffic Impact Analysis, prepared by Heath & Associates, Inc., dated March of 2018, 12 was submitted with the project application (Exhibit 6). The primary access to the site via NE 21st Street would be maintained with an inbound driveway and an outbound driveway 13 as currently designed. The church currently has one Sunday morning service and a more lightly attended Sunday evening service. The report states that the Sunday peak period was 14 targeted for analysis purposes since it generally represents the worst case scenario with respect to traffic conditions for this church. The report concludes that the proposed church 15 addition and parking expansion will be a moderate generator of new trips in the area with 16 roughly 47 additional total daily trips expected to be generated on a typical Sunday, with 18 of those trips occurring during the Sunday peak hour. A traffic impact analysis is 17 required when the estimated vehicular traffic generated from a proposed development exceeds 20 vehicles per hour in either the AM (6:00 — 9:00) or PM (3:00 — 6:00) peak 18 periods. The proposed church expansion project does not generate 20 new peak hour trips 19 in the morning or evening peak periods. Therefore, it is not anticipated that the project will generate traffic that causes significant impacts on the roadway system. 20 Staff had concerns regarding pedestrian safety without the presence of adequate street 21 lighting following public right of way improvements. The nearest street light is more than 22 70 feet away from the project site. Therefore, pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended), on January 28, 23 2019, the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M) for the First Ukrainian Pentecostal Church Expansion (Exhibit 9), 24 which required that the Applicant provide one (1) street light within the abutting street frontage of the property that is consistent with the street lighting standards of RMC 4-6- 25 0601 at the time of construction permit application. 26 CONDITIONAL USE - 4 1 As determined by public works staff, if conditions of approval and environmental review mitigation measures are complied with, it is anticipated that the proposed expansion shall 2 ensure safe movement for vehicles and pedestrians and shall mitigate potential effects on 3 the surrounding area. 4 At the hearing, the Applicant requested that the Examiner approve its street modification request to have the frontage landscaping strip placed behind the sidewalk as opposed to in 5 front, between the curb and sidewalk. The Applicant asserted that placing the planter strip 6 in front of the sidewalk would not have any safety benefits as asserted by staff, due to the presence of multiple driveways. The Applicant also pointed out that all of the other 7 sidewalks in the vicinity do not have planter strips located between curb and sidewalk. As identified by staff, the other sidewalks are nonconforming and were constructed prior to 8 the RMC 4-6-060 requirement for planter strips between curb and sidewalk. The 9 Applicant's architect was the person who advocated the street modification at the hearing. Traffic engineers from the City's public works department are the persons who determined 10 that the planter strip should be retained in its required location for pedestrian safety. The public works view point is the more compelling on this issue. The presence of the two 11 adjoining driveways on the project's street frontage creates the opportunity for multiple 12 vehicular turning movements occurring at the same time that numerous pedestrians are also accessing the site. Creating some additional separation between pedestrians and vehicles 13 via the planter stirp does appear to provide for greater pedestrian safety against the turning movements and traffic circulation caused by the proposal. 14 E. Landscaping. The proposal complies with City landscaping standards and therefore 15 provides for sufficient landscaping. 16 A Landscape Plan (Exhibit 11) was submitted with the project application. Per RMC 4-4- 17 070B.1.f, changes in the use of a property or remodel of a structure that requires improvements equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of the assessed property 18 valuation triggers compliance with the landscaping regulations for the entire site. The 19 project proposal is more that 50% of the valuation of both properties based on assessors records; therefore, compliance with landscaping regulations for the entire site is required. 20 However, there is an exception, Per RMC 4-4-070C.2.e, for alterations or small additions determined by the Community and Economic Development Administrator not to warrant 21 improvements to the entire site. 22 The pro osal would require perimeter parking lot landscaping, with a minimum depth of 10 23 feet, around the existing and proposed parking lot. The perimeter parking lot landscaping is required to have a mixture of trees, shrubs, and groundcover per RMC 4-4-070H.4. The 24 Applicant is proposing perimeter landscaping along only the new parking lot expansion. Compliance with required perimeter landscaping between the existing parking lot and the 25 drainage tract (042305TRCT) on the abutting property would require the removal of 23 26 existing parking spaces. The required perimeter parking lot landscaping along this portion CONDITIONAL USE - 5 401. 1 of the property(in the vicinity of parking stalls number 34-56, as identified on the provided Landscape Plan), is eliminated pursuant to the above exemption. Based on the provided 2 site plan, no perimeter parking lot landscaping is proposed along the west side of the 3 existing parking lot (along parking stalls numbered 1-14, as identified on the provided Landscape Plan). Compliance with perimeter landscaping requirements along these parking 4 stalls would not necessitate the removal of existing parking spaces; therefore, in order to ensure compliance with perimeter parking lot landscaping regulations, a condition of 5 approval requires that a detailed landscape plan be submitted at the time of Utility 6 Construction Permit Review that includes 10 feet of perimeter parking lot landscaping along parking stalls numbered 1-14. The perimeter parking lot landscaping shall be revised 7 to include a mixture of trees, shrubs and groundcover. 8 In addition to required perimeter parking lot landscaping requirements, the Applicant is 9 required to provide a sight-obscuring visual barrier between the existing church use and the abutting residential uses. The proposed new parking lot expansion includes a 10-foot wide 10 perimeter landscape strip; however, the provided Landscape Plan does not identify if this proposed landscape strip is fully sight-obscuring, as required by code; therefore. a 11 condition of approval requires that a detailed landscape plan be submitted at the time of 12 Utility Construction Permit Review that either revises the proposed perimeter landscaping to be fully site obscuring, or revises the proposal to include 15-feet of partially sight- 13 obscuring landscaped visual barrier, in compliance with RMC 4-4-070F.4.c. The existing vegetation and trees along the west and south property lines of parcel number 0423059237 14 do not meet the dimensional requirements for landscaping visual barrier regulations per RMC 4-4-070F.4.c; however, the existing mature trees and landscaping is adequate to 15 screen the existing use from the abutting uses along those property lines; therefore, the 16 project only has to comply with landscaping visual barrier regulations on the new portions of the parking lot expansion, pursuant to the above exemption. 17 The proposal requires a minimum of 10 feet on site landscaping along the public street 18 frontage (NE 21st Street). The proposal does not account for the approximate 23 feet of 19 public right-of-way (ROW) dedication required along the street frontage. The Applicant would need to demonstrate compliance with the required 10-foot street frontage 20 landscaping following the required ROW deduction. To ensure that the 10-foot onsite landscape strip provides the required mix of trees, shrubs, and ground cover, a condition of 21 approval requires that a detailed landscape plan be submitted at the time of Utility 22 Construction Permit Review including the 10-foot onsite landscape strip required along NE 21st Street, that includes a mixture of trees, shrubs and groundcover. 23 The Applicant has indicated that a total of 176 parking spaces would be available upon the 24 completion of the proposed expansion. Based on a minimum requirement of 35 square feet of landscaping per parking space, a total of 6,160 square feet of landscaping would be 25 required within the surface parking lot. The Applicant indicates that a total of 3,158 square 26 feet of surface parking lot landscaping would be installed on the project site. The provided CONDITIONAL USE - 6 1 Landscape Plan does not label the proposed groundcover, in addition, not all of the proposed shrubs meet the minimum size requirement of 2-gallons. The proposal is not 2 compliant with minimum interior parking lot landscaping standards; therefore, a condition 3 of approval requires that a detailed landscape plan and landscape analysis demonstrating compliance with the parking lot landscaping requirements, as outlined in RMC 4-4-070, be 4 submitted at the time of Utility Construction Permit application for review. The required landscaping shall be installed prior to Certificate of Occupancy for the building addition. 5 6 F. Tree Retention. The proposal complies with the City's tree retention standards and for 7 that reason is found to provide for sufficient retention of vegetation. A Landscape Plan (Exhibit 11) and Topographical Survey (Exhibit 12) were provided with the project 8 application that identify a total of 15 existing significant (6 caliper inches or greater) trees 9 located on-site. The provided project narrative states that no tree removal is proposed; however, the landscape plan identifies that two 6-inch caliper trees located within an 10 existing landscape island will be removed. In addition, three 6-inch caliper trees are located within the proposed (23-foot) public right-of-way dedication and are anticipated for 11 removal following street frontage improvements. Renton Municipal Code, Section 4-4- 12 130H.1.a.i., requires the retention of at least 30 percent (30%) of the significant trees in a residential or institutional development. Based on a required retention rate of 30 percent, a 13 total of 4 trees would be required to be retained on the project site. The Applicant is proposing to retain a total of 10 significant trees on-site; therefore, based on the provided 14 landscape plan, the proposal complies with minimum tree retention requirements. 15 Conclusions of Law 16 I. Authority. Hearing examiner conditional use permits qualify as Type III review pursuant to 17 RMC 4-8-080(G). The modification requests are classified by RMC 4-8-080(G) as Type I review. RMC 4-8-080(C)(2) requires consolidated permits to each be processed under "the highest-number 18 procedure". The Type III conditional use review is the "highest-number procedure" and therefore 19 must be employed for all of the permit applications. As outlined in RMC 4-8-080(G), the Hearing Examiner is authorized to hold hearings and issue final decisions on Type III applications subject to 20 closed record appeal to the Renton City Council. 21 2. Zoning/Comprehensive Plan Designations. The subject property is within the Residential 22 Medium Density(MD) Comprehensive Plan land use designation and R-6 zoning designation. 23 3. Review Criteria/Street and Parking Modification. RMC 4-2-060 requires a hearing examiner conditional use permit for religious institutions in the R6 zone. Conditional use criteria are governed 24 by RMC 4-9-030(D). Applicable conditional use standards are quoted below in italics and applied through corresponding conclusions of law. The requested street and parking modifications are found 25 to be consistent with all applicable criteria for the reasons identified in Findings 19 and 20 of the staff 26 report, adopted by this reference as if set forth in full. At hearing the Applicant requested that the CONDITIONAL USE - 7 1 Examiner not follow the staff recommendation to deny the Applicant's street modification request to eliminate the planter strip requirement between curb and sidewalk on the project's street frontage. For 2 the reasons identified in Finding of Fact No. 5(D), it is concluded that the modification request must 3 be denied as recommended by staff in order to comply with the safety criteria applicable to the modification request. 4 The Administrator or designee or the Hearing Examiner shall consider, as applicable, the following 5 factors for all applications: 6 RMC 4-9-030(C)(1): Consistency with Plans and Regulations: The proposed use shall be 7 compatible with the general goals, objectives, policies and standards of the Comprehensive Plan, the zoning regulations and any other plans,programs, maps or ordinances of the City of Renton. 8 9 4. The proposal is consistent with all applicable comprehensive plan policies and development standards as outlined in Findings of Fact No. 15 through 17 of the staff report, adopted by this 10 reference as if set forth in full. 11 RMC 4-9-030(C)(2): Appropriate Location: The proposed location shall not result in the 12 detrimental overconcentration of a particular use within the City or within the immediate area of the proposed use. The proposed location shall be suited for the proposed use. 13 5. The proposed use is compatible with surrounding uses and will create no significant adverse 14 impacts for the reasons identified in Finding of Fact No. 5(A). There is no overconcentration of church use in the area as the church is located in a single-family neighborhood and the aerial 15 photographs of the project site as shown in Ex. 18 do not reveal any other churches or similar uses 16 within several blocks of the project site. 17 RMC 4-9-030(C)(3): Effect on Adjacent Properties: The proposed use at the proposed location 18 shall not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property. 19 6. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, there are no adverse impacts associated with the 20 proposal, so it will not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property. 21 RMC 4-9-030(C)(4): Compatibility: The proposed use shall be compatible with the scale and 22 character of the neighborhood. 23 7. For the reasons identified in Finding of Fact No. 5(A), the proposed use is compatible with the scale and character of the neighborhood. 24 25 RMC 4-9-030(C)(5): Parking:Adequate parking is, or will be made, available. 26 8. Parking is adequate as determined in Finding of Fact No. 5. CONDITIONAL USE - 8 1 2 RMC 4-9-030(C)(6): Traffic: The use shall ensure safe movement for vehicles and pedestrians and shall mitigate potential effects on the surrounding area. 3 9. The proposal provides for safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles and doesn't create 4 adverse traffic impacts as determined in Finding of Fact No. 5(D). 5 RMC 4-9-030(C)(7): Noise, Light and Glare: Potential noise, light and glare impacts from the 6 proposed use shall be evaluated and mitigated. 7 10. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5(A), the proposal will not result in any adverse light, noise or glare impacts. 8 9 RMC 4-9-030(C)(8): Landscaping: Landscaping shall be provided in all areas not occupied by buildings, paving, or critical areas. Additional landscaping may be required to buffer adjacent 10 properties from potentially adverse effects of the proposed use. 11 11. As testified by staff, there are no undeveloped portions of the site without landscaping. As 12 determined in Finding of Fact No. 5, the proposal will involve a significant amount of new perimeter landscaping to buffer adjacent residential use. 13 DECISION 14 15 The conditional use permit, parking modification and street modification applications satisfy all applicable review criteria for the reasons identified in the findings and conclusions of this decision and 16 for that reason are approved subject to the following conditions: 17 1.
