The purpose of this communication is to notify the City of Renton via email of King County Parks and Recreation
Division’s (Parks) determination that it will be assuming lead agency status for the above referenced project in
connection with the SEPA process.
As you are aware, Parks has been in the planning and feasibility stages of a redevelopment of our existing operations
and maintenance shop for several years. As part of this process Parks has developed extensive familiarity with the
proposed project, the technical underpinnings of the project, and its environmental impacts on the existing
environment. Parks routinely acts as SEPA lead on our own projects and have internal staff skilled and experienced with
the SEPA process (Lindsey and Colin, cc’d).
Our SEPA process is outlined generally as follows:
· Reports and research necessary to advise the SEPA checklist are performed (Critical Areas, TIA, etc)
· SEPA checklist is prepared for the project by our consultant with input from the project manager, and peer
reviewed by the SEPA lead.
· Threshold Determination is drafted, reviewed, and ultimately signed by the Division Director.
· The TD is issued, published, SEPA sign installed, and taxpayers, residents, agencies and interested parties are
provided mail notification.
· Comments are monitored with central email and voicemail by the leads.
· After comment period ends, Parks issues responses and the Notice of Action Taken.
Stakeholders:
We will have your name on the list of Stakeholders and Interested Parties and provide you with notification so that you
may comment.
If you wish other Renton departments to be on the stakeholders list, please let us know.
Timeline:
We are targeting early December for SEPA Issuance.
We look forward to working with you as work progresses towards final planning, conditional use permit, permitting, and
construction.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
Thanks.
