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 at the southeast corner of NE 10th Street and Hoquiam Avenue NE and is addressed as 980 Hoquiam Avenue NE. The proposal is to subdivide the 89,298 square foot project site into five lots and one critical area tract. The subject property is zoned Residential-8 (R-8). Access to the new lots would be provided via individual driveways off of NE 10th Street. A wetland has been identified on the southeast corner of the project site. Current Use: The site is currently developed with an existing single family residence, proposed for removal. Zoning/Density Requirements: The subject property is zoned Residential-8 (R-8), the density range allowed in the R-8 zone is a minimum of 4.0 to a maximum of 8.0 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). The area located within dedicated right-of-way, private access easements/tracts, and critical areas would be deducted from the gross site area to determine the “net” site area prior to calculating density. After the deduction of the wetland area, the applicant indicates that the proposal would have a net area of 1.50 acres. Based on a net area of 1.50 acres, the proposal for 5 lots would result in a gross density of 3.33 dwelling units per acre (5 lots / 1.50 acres = 3.33 du/ac), which is below the minimum density required in the R-8 zone. Per RMC 4-2-110D1: a. “Phasing, shadow platting, or land reserves may be used to satisfy the minimum density requirements if the applicant can demonstrate that the current development would not preclude the provision of adequate access and infrastructure to future development and would allow for the eventual satisfaction of minimum density requirements through future development”. Binder Short Plat, PRE16-000686 Page 2 of 4 October 27, 2016 h:\ced\planning\current planning\preapps\2016 preapps\pre16-000686.jill\16-000686 (r-8 5 lot short plat, wetland).doc b. In the event the applicant can show that minimum density cannot be achieved due to lot configuration, lack of access, environmental or physical constraints, minimum density requirements may be waived. The proposed short plat layout shall be revised to either comply with the minimum density required or shall demonstrate compliance with RMC 4-2-110D1.a. or b. Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-110A, “Development Standards for Single Family Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application (noted as “R-8 standards” herein). Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth – The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8 zone, is 5,000 square feet for parcels being subdivided. Minimum lot width is 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet for corner lots; minimum lot depth is 80 feet. The lots as proposed appear to exceed the minimum lot size, width, and depth requirements. Building Standards – The R-8 standards allow a maximum building coverage of 50% of the lot area. Accessory structures are also included in building lot coverage calculations. The proposal’s compliance with the building standards would be verified at the time of building permit review. Building Height – The maximum wall plate height is 24 feet and 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. Building height would be verified at the time of building permit review. Setbacks – Setbacks are the minimum required distance between the building footprint and the property line. The required setbacks for the R-8 zone are: Front yard: 20 feet for the primary structure. Rear yard: 20 feet. Side yards: 5 feet. Side yards along streets: 15 feet Setbacks would be verified at the time of building permit review. Building Design Standards – The proposed structure would be subject to the Residential Design Standards outlined in RMC 4-2-115. The proposal’s compliance with the residential design standards would be verified at the time of building permit review. Access/Parking: Access to the lots is proposed via individual driveways off of NE 10th Street. A minimum of two onsite parking spaces is required for each new lot. Driveways: The maximum driveway slopes cannot exceed 15%, provided that driveways exceeding 8% are to provide slotted drains at the lower end of the driveway. If the grade exceeds 15%, a variance is required. The maximum width of single loaded garage driveways shall not exceed nine feet (9') and double loaded garage driveways shall not exceed sixteen feet (16').

The minimum on-site landscape width required along street frontages is 10 feet. Where there is insufficient right-of-way space or no public frontage, street trees are required in the front yard subject to approval of the Administrator. A minimum of two (2) trees are to be located in the front yard prior to final inspection. Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) for further general and specific landscape requirements. A conceptual landscape plan shall be submitted at the time of Short Plat application and prepared by a registered Landscape Architect, a certified nurseryman or other certified professional. Storm drainage facilities are required to comply with the minimum 15-foot perimeter landscaping strip on the outside of the fence unless otherwise determined through the site plan review or subdivision review process. Please refer to landscape regulations RMC 4-4-070 for further general and specific landscape requirements. Significant Tree Retention: If significant trees (greater than 6-inch caliper or 8-caliper inches for alders and cottonwoods) are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory and a tree retention plan along with an arborist report, tree retention plan 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 4-4-130H1.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 (12) caliper inches 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. In addition to retaining 30 percent of existing significant trees, each new lot would be required to provide a minimum tree density of 2 trees per 5,000 square feet of lot area onsite. Protected trees that do not contribute to a lot's required minimum tree density shall be held in perpetuity within a tree protection tract. 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 twenty percent (20%); Significant trees adjacent to critical areas and their associated buffers; and Significant trees over sixty feet (60') in height or greater than eighteen inches ( 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 independent review of any land use application that involves tree removal and land clearing at the City's discretion. A formal tree retention plan would be reviewed at the time of Short Plat application.
