www.rentonwa.gov.
Project Proposal: The applicant, the City of Renton, is proposing to construct the family first
community center. The proposed facility would be constructed on the existing vacant southern
portion of Cascade Elementary School located at 16022 116th Ave SE (APN 2823059034). The
14.88 acre parcel is zoned Residential-6 (R-6). The project is sponsored by the City of Renton and
supported by the Renton School District, Healthpoint CHC and a private sponsor. The proposed
building is an approximately 27,000 square foot one-story building with roughly 115 surface
parking stalls. The proposed building would have a wall plat height of 24 feet, except for the walls
of the gymnasium, which would rise to approximately 35 feet and would continue to a maximum
top-of-roof height of approximately 40 feet. The neighborhood community center would include
the following: gymnasium, walking track, exercise room, dance studio, after-school programs and
activities, drop-in childcare and teen room, maker-space studios for students for the study of
materials and crafting of stem models, health care offices, clinical and counseling services, mobile
dental and other health care services, shared meeting rooms and community gathering spaces,
demonstration kitchen, and community garden. The proposed building would be designed using
sustainable and biophilic design principals with the goal of LEED certification. The prominent
design features include large sections of green roof areas, solar panels, exposed heavy-timber
wood framing, high efficiency construction and mechanical systems, and maximization of natural
light. The building’s construction systems would be Type V-A or V-B and include concrete, wood

Current Use: The site is home to Renton School District’s Cascade Elementary School. The
elementary school was built in 1995 and has a gross building square footage of 45,701 square
feet. The other structures onsite include three (3) portables and a covered play area.
Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development
Standards for Residential Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application
(noted as “R-6 standards” herein). These standards are available on the City’s website at
http://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Renton/#!/renton04/Renton0402/Renton0402110A.html
#4-2-110A.
Zoning: The development parcel is located within the Residential Medium Density (RMD) land use
designation and the Residential-6 (R-6) zoning designation. A City Community Facility is permitted
in the R-6 zone as a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit. Therefore, a Hearing Examiner
Conditional Use Permit is required. Surface parking would be considered an accessory use to the
community center.
The following is criteria considered for Conditional Use Permits:
1. Consistency with Plans and Regulations: The proposed use shall be 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.
2. Appropriate Location: The proposed location shall not result in the 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.
3. Effect on Adjacent Properties: The proposed use at the proposed location shall not result in
substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property.
4. Compatibility: The proposed use shall be compatible with the scale and character of the
neighborhood.
5. Parking: Adequate parking is, or will be made, available.
6. Traffic: The use shall ensure safe movement for vehicles and pedestrians and shall mitigate
potential effects on the surrounding area.
7. Noise, Light and Glare: Potential noise, light and glare impacts from the proposed use shall be
evaluated and mitigated.
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 properties from
potentially adverse effects of the proposed use.
Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth: The minimum lot size required in the R-6 zone is 7,000
square feet. The minimum lot width is 60 feet for interior lots and 70 feet for corner lots; minimum
lot depth is 90 feet. No changes are proposed to the lot size, width or depth are proposed as part
of the new use or future improvement project.
Setbacks: Setbacks are the distance between the building and the property line or any private
access easement. The required setbacks in the R-6 zone are 25 feet for the front yard, 25 feet for
the rear yard, 25 feet for secondary front yard, and a combined 15 feet with not less than 5 feet
on either side for side yards. The closest setback proposed is 64.5-foot side yard setback to the
south property line. As proposed, the new community center would comply with all required
Family First Community Center

K:\Preapps\2018\PRE18-000482_Family_First_Community_Center\02.Review Comments
setbacks of the R-6 zone. No additions to the existing structures onsite are proposed. Additional
setbacks may be required through the CUP review process.
Building Coverage: The maximum building coverage permitted in the R-6 zone is 40% of the lot
area. The elementary school, portable, covered play area, and proposed new community center
would have an estimated building square footage of 85,371 square feet with an estimated
building coverage of roughly 13 percent (13%) between the onsite buildings. Together the
existing buildings would comply with the maximum building coverage of the R-6 zone.
Impervious Surface Area – The maximum impervious surface would be limited to 55%. Impervious
surface requirements would be verified at the time of building permit review.
Building Height: The maximum wall plate height is 24 feet with 2 stories. Roofs with a pitch equal
to or greater than 4:12 may project an additional six (6) vertical feet from the maximum wall plate
height; common rooftop features, such as chimneys, may project an additional four (4) vertical
feet from the roof surface. Non-exempt vertical projections (e.g., decks, railings, etc.) shall not
extend above the maximum wall plate height unless the projection is stepped back one-and-a-
half (1.5) horizontal feet from each façade for each one (1) vertical foot above the maximum wall
plate height. The walls of the gymnasium, which would rise to approximately 35 feet and would
continue to a maximum top-of-roof height of approximately 40 feet, which exceeds the maximum
height permitted in the R-6 zone. A building height variance would be required to exceed the
maximum building height of the R-6 zone. A variance application would be processed concurrent
with Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit.
Screening: Screening must be provided for all surface-mounted and roof top utility and
mechanical equipment. The application must include elevations and details for the proposed
methods of screening if utility and mechanical equipment are added as part of the tenant
improvements. No mechanical or utility equipment was identified in the submitted materials.
See RMC 4-4-095 for specific requirements.
Refuse and Recycling Areas: In office, educational and institutional developments, a minimum of
two (2) square feet per every one thousand (1,000) square feet of building gross floor area shall
be provided for recyclables deposit areas and a minimum of four (4) square feet per one thousand
(1,000) square feet of building gross floor area shall be provided for refuse deposit areas. A total
minimum area of one hundred (100) square feet shall be provided for recycling and refuse deposit
areas. A total minimum area of 162 square feet recycling and refuse deposit area would be
required for a 27,000 square foot structure.
Landscaping: Changes in the use of a property are required to comply with the City’s landscaping
regulations. The development standards require that all pervious areas within the property
boundaries be landscaped. Therefore, all areas of the site not covered by structures, required
parking, access, circulation or patios, must be landscaped with native, drought-resistant
vegetative cover. All parking lots shall have perimeter landscaping. Ten feet (10') of onsite
landscaping is required along all public street frontages, with the exception of areas for required
walkways and driveways. Project that are abutting less intensive uses, such as a nonresidential
development in a residential zone, would require a fifteen-foot (15') wide partially sight-obscuring
landscaped visual barrier, or ten-foot (10') wide fully sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier,
along common property lines. Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) for further
general and specific landscape requirements. 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 land use application.
In addition, a fifteen foot (15’) perimeter landscape strip is required on the outside of the storm
drainage facility fence. Planting shall be consistent with the Surface Water Design Manual and
trees are prohibited on any berm serving a drainage-related function. Trees and shrubs are also
prohibited within the fenced area and within ten feet (10’) of any manmade drainage structure
(e.g., catch basins, ditched, pipes, vaults, etc.). Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-
070) for further general and specific landscape requirements. A conceptual landscape plan must
be provided with the formal land use application as prepared by a registered Landscape
Architect, a certified nurseryman or other certified professional.
Tree Preservation: If significant trees (greater than 6-inch caliper or 8-caliper inches for alders
and cottonwoods) are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory, tree retention plan, arborist
report, and tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application as
defined in RMC 4-8-120. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least 30% of
significant trees, and indicate how proposed building footprints would be sited to accommodate
preservation of significant trees that would be retained (RMC 4-4-130H.1.a). When the required
number of protected trees cannot be retained, replacement trees, with at least a two-inch (2")
caliper or an evergreen at least six feet (6') tall, shall be planted at a rate of twelve caliper inches
(12”) of new trees to replace each protected tree removed. The Administrator may authorize the
planting of replacement trees on the site if it can be demonstrated to the Administrator's
satisfaction that an insufficient number of trees can be retained.
Significant trees shall be retained in the following priority order:
Priority One: Landmark trees; significant trees that form a continuous canopy; significant trees on
slopes greater than 20%; significant trees adjacent to critical areas and their associated buffers;
and significant trees over 60’ in height or greater than 18” caliper.
Priority Two: Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be preserved; other
significant native evergreen or deciduous trees; and other significant non-native trees.
Priority Three: Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other trees have been evaluated
for retention and are not able to be retained, unless the alders and/ or cottonwoods are used as
part of an approved enhancement project within a critical area or its buffer.
The Administrator may require an independent review of any land use application that involves
tree removal and land clearing at the City's discretion. If applicable, a formal tree retention
worksheet would be required with the land use application. An inventory, retention plan, and
arborist report would be required with the application if significant trees are to be removed.
Fences or Retaining Walls: The provisions and conditions of RMC 4-4-040, Fences, Hedges, and
Retaining Walls, regulating height and design of fences, retaining walls, or barriers to surround
and enclose public safety installations, transportation facilities, waterways, storm drainage
facilities, school grounds, public playgrounds, private or public swimming pools, and similar
installations and improvements are not applicable if required by law. No fences or retaining walls
were shown on the submitted materials.
Parking: The applicant is proposing 115 new surface parking stalls for the 27,000 square foot
building. The applicant would be required, at the time of land use application, to provide a parking

K:\Preapps\2018\PRE18-000482_Family_First_Community_Center\02.Review Comments
analysis of the subject site with calculations based on the requirements noted above. The analysis
would include dimensions of stalls and drive aisles. The use that most closely resembles the Family
First Community Center is ‘other recreational’ in the parking table. Other recreational requires a
minimum and maximum of 1 stall per occupant based upon 50% of the maximum occupant load
as established by the adopted Building and Fire Codes of the City of Renton. A twenty five percent
(25%) reduction or increase from the minimum or maximum number of parking spaces may be
granted for nonresidential uses through site plan review if the applicant can justify the
modification to the satisfaction of the Administrator. Justification might include, but is not
limited to, quantitative information such as sales receipts, documentation of customer frequency,
and parking standards of nearby cities. In order for the reduction or increase to occur the
Administrator must find that satisfactory evidence has been provided by the applicant.
Modifications beyond twenty five percent (25%) may be granted per the criteria and process of
RMC 4-9-250D.2.
Parking for vehicles, loading areas, and driveways shall be provided in accordance with the
provisions of the current parking regulations of RMC 4-4-080, “Parking, Loading, and Driveway
Regulations.” Parking requirements for community centers are not specifically identified within
the parking code. A parking count analysis shall be submitted at the time of conditional use permit
review. The analysis would include dimensions of stalls and drive aisles. Compliance with the
parking regulations would be verified at land use review. See RMC 4-4-080 for more details.
Parking Space Dimensions: It should be noted that the parking regulations specify standard stall
dimensions of 9 feet x 20 feet, compact dimensions of 8½ feet x 16 feet, and parallel stall
dimensions of 9 feet x 23 feet. ADA accessible stalls must be a minimum of 8 feet in width by 20
feet in length, with an adjacent access aisle of 8 feet in width for van accessible spaces. Up to 40
percent of stalls may be compact spaces designated for employee parking, and up to 30 percent
of stalls may be compact spaces if designated for all users. The appropriate amount of ADA
accessible stalls is based on the total number of spaces provided.
Surface parking lots with more than fourteen (14) stalls shall be landscaped with plantings and
trees. Perimeter landscaping may not substitute for interior landscaping. Minimum landscape
area shall be provided based on the total number of parking stalls: 15-50 stalls, 15 sf/parking
space; 51-99 stalls, 25 sf/parking space; or 100 or more 35 sf/parking space.
All non-residential development that exceeds 4,000 gross square feet in size would also be
required to comply with the bicycle parking requirements of RMC 4-4-080F.11. The number of
bicycle parking spaces required would be based on 10% of the required number of off-street
vehicle parking stalls. Each bicycle parking space shall be at least two feet (2') by six feet (6'), with
no less than an overhead clearance of seven feet (7'). Bicycle parking shall be conveniently located
with respect to the street right-of-way and must be within fifty feet (50') of at least one main
building entrance, as measured along the most direct pedestrian access route. Please review RMC
4-4-080F.11.b-c for further general and specific bicycle parking standards. Modification of these
minimum standards requires written approval from the Department of Community and Economic
Development.
Loading: Buildings which utilize ground level service or loading doors shall provide a minimum of
forty five feet (45') of clear maneuvering area in front of each door.

Lighting: With additions to or replacement of light fixtures, parking lot or display lot light fixtures
shall be non-glare and mounted no more than twenty five feet (25') above the ground to minimize
the impact onto adjacent and abutting properties. See RMC 4-4-075 for additional standards.
Access: Driveway widths are limited by the driveway standards, in RMC 4-4080I. Access would be
subject to sight visibility requirements and minimum spacing from the established intersections.
According to the submitted drawings, no changes would be proposed to the site. No other curb
cuts are proposed along the public street frontages.
Pedestrian Access: A pedestrian connection shall be provided from all public entrances to the
street, in order to provide direct, clear and separate pedestrian walks from sidewalks to building
entries and internally from buildings to abutting properties. Compliance with pedestrian
pathways and connections would be further analyzed at the time of conditional use permit
review.
Environmental Review: The proposal will exceed several thresholds and as a result the project
would require Environmental ‘SEPA’ Review. An environmental determination will be made by
the Renton Environmental Review Committee.
Conditional Use Permit: Conditional Use Permits allow for review of certain uses with special
characteristics that may not generally be appropriate within a zoning district, but may be
permitted subject to conditions and mitigation measures that protect public health, safety and
welfare and ensure compatibility with other uses in the district. Decisional criteria for the
conditional use permit are itemized in RMC 4-9-030D. It is the applicant’s responsibility to identify
how the proposal meets the decisional criteria and a narrative responding to these criteria shall
be submitted with the application.
Site Plan Approval: The purpose of the site plan review process is to analyze the detailed
arrangement of project elements to mitigate negative impacts where necessary to ensure project
compatibility with the physical characteristics of a site and with the surrounding area. Site plan
review ensures quality development consistent with City goals and policies. Site plan review
analyzes elements including, but not limited to, site layout, building orientation and design,
pedestrian and vehicular environment, landscaping, natural features of the site, screening and
buffering, parking and loading facilities, and illumination to ensure compatibility with potential
future development. Decisional criteria for site plan approval are itemized in RMC 4-9-200E.3. It
is the applicant’s responsibility to identify how the proposal meets the decisional criteria and a
narrative responding to these criteria shall be submitted with the application.
Permit Requirements: All applications can be reviewed concurrently in an estimated time frame
of 12 weeks once a complete application is accepted. The 2018 application fees would be as
follows: $3,000 Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit, $2,500 Site Plan Review, $1,300
Variance, and $1,500 SEPA Checklist. Any modification requests to code standards are $250.00
per modification. A 5% technology fee would also be assessed at the time of land use application.
All fees are subject to change. Detailed information regarding the land use application submittal
can be found on the City’s new website by clicking “Land Use Applications” on the Community &
Economic Development page, then “All Forms (A to Z)” at https://edocs.rentonwa.gov/
Documents/Browse.aspx?startid=867190&cr=1. The City now requires electronic plan submittal
for all applications. The City’s Electronic File Standards can also be found on the City’s website at
https://www.rentonwa.gov/cms/ one.aspx?portalId=7922741&pageId=9666400.

Public Information Sign: Public Information Signs are required for all Type III Land Use Permits
(Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit), as classified by RMC 4-8-080. Public Information Signs
are intended to inform the public of potential land development, specific permits/actions being
considered by the City, and to facilitate timely and effective public participation in the review
process. The applicant must follow the specifications provided in the public information sign
handout (see land use forms on City website). The applicant is solely responsible for the
construction, installation, maintenance, removal, and any costs associated with the sign.
Neighborhood Meeting Requirement: Projects estimated by the City to have a monetary value
equal to or greater than $10,000,000 requires the applicant to conduct a neighborhood meeting.
The meeting shall be held at a location open to the public within Renton city limits, at a location
no further than two (2) miles from the project site. The applicant is required to mail a written
notice announcing the neighborhood meeting to property owners within 300-feet of the subject
property. The neighborhood meeting is intended to be a developer-neighborhood interaction.
City staff members are not required to attend and/or participate in neighborhood meetings.
Please see RMC 4-8-090A for the complete neighborhood meeting requirements.
Public Outreach Sign: Projects estimated by the City to have a monetary value equal to or greater
than $10,000,000 requires the applicant to install a public outreach sign. Public outreach signs are
intended to supplement information provided by public information signs by allowing an
applicant to develop a personalized promotional message for the proposed development. The
sign is also intended to provide the public with a better sense of proposed development by
displaying a colored rendering of the project and other required or discretionary information that
lends greater understanding of the project. See the attached Public Outreach sign handout for
more information and specifications. In addition to the required land use permits, separate
construction, building and sign permits would be required (if applicable).
Impact Mitigation Fees: Fire and transportation impact fees would be assessed based on the final
assessed use of the building. These fees would be calculated at the time of building permit
application and payable prior to building permit issuance. The 2018 impact fees are as follows:
A Transportation Impact fee would be determined from the ITE manual at the time of
building permit application; and
A Fire Impact fee of $2.36 per square foot for leisure facilities.
A handout listing Renton’s development-related fees is available on the City of Renton website
for your review.
Next Steps: When the formal application materials are complete, the applicant is strongly
encouraged to have one copy of the application materials pre-screened at the 6th floor front
counter prior to submitting the complete application package. Please contact Clark Close, Senior
Planner at 425-430-7289 or cclose@rentonwa.gov to schedule an appointment.
Expiration and Extensions: Once the Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan applications have been
approved, the applicant has two years to comply with all conditions of approval and to apply for
any necessary permits before the approval becomes null and void. The approval body that
approved the original application may grant a single two-year extension. The approval body may
require a public hearing for such extension. It is the responsibility of the owner to monitor the
expiration date.
