Re: Sunset Oaks Apartments
Rental Housing Incentive Fee Waiver Intent
Dear Mr.Vincent:
The Renton Housing Authority(RHA)respectfully requests the waiver of development and mitigation fees associated with
the Sunset Oaks Apartments in accordance with the Section 4-1-210 of the Renton Municipal Code(the"Code"),which
permits waiver of fees associated with certain affordable rental housing projects.
RHA requests the waiver of the fees given that Sunset Oaks is a new construction affordable housing rental project that will
service entirely low income households as defined in Section 2 of the Code. Sunset Oaks Apartments consists of 3
buildings in the Sunset Area of Renton containing 60 units all of which will be characterized as affordable housing units. In
accordance with the Code,we are seeking a 100 percent waiver of the following fees as outlined in Section 4 of the Code:
Section 4.a.Fees which may be waived:
A. Building permit fees:
B. Building permit plan review fees;
C. Water,surface water,and wastewater system development charges;
D. Public works plan review and inspection fees;
E. Fire,transportation,and parks impact mitigation fees;
F. Civil plan review and inspection fees;and
G. Technology surcharge fees.
Pursuant to Section 4.b of the Code, 100 percent of the fees set forth above may be waived if the project is an eligible
housing project in which at least 50 percent of the units are set aside as affordable. Because all of the units will be set aside
as affordable units,Sunset Oaks is an eligible housing project for a full waiver of fees under the Code.
Relief from these fees to the extent permitted under the Code enables RHA to place its resources in the best possible
position to meet RHA's and the City's mutual affordable housing objectives. We appreciate your ongoing support and
assistance with our efforts within the City.
Sincerely,
Ma rop
