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 applicant, Amazon, is proposing tenant improvements for a 126,600 sq. ft. existing industrial building at 1905 Raymond Ave SW (APN 2423049115) previously occupied by DHL Global Forwarding, a shipping service. The applicant intends to use the building for its “Amazon Flex” delivery service, in which contract employees pick up packages from the site in their personal vehicles and distribute (i.e. deliver) the packages to customers in the Renton area. The applicant has proposed to retain the existing office space for use by support staff, while updating the warehouse/distribution space to better meet the needs of the Flex service. The building is located on the north half of a 6.8 acre site near the corner of SW 19th St and Raymond Ave SW. The subject site is located in the Industrial, Light (IL) zone and Employment Area Comprehensive Plan Land Use designation. According to the applicant, all work would be interior except for minor restriping and concrete work in the parking lot that would add a total of 26 new parking stalls as well as new ADA ramps and crosswalks. No trees or vegetation are proposed for removal as part of the project. According to COR Maps, multiple critical areas are present on the site including a high seismic hazard, a special flood hazard area (FEMA zone AE), and an unclassified wetlands. In addition, the eastern portion of the site is located within Reach C of the Black River/Springbrook Creek Regulated Shoreline Area and is designated Shoreline High Intensity. According to the applicant, no new impervious surface would be added. Current Use: The site is developed with an existing industrial building and the associated surface parking. Comprehensive Plan/Zoning: The property has a Comprehensive Plan land use designation of Employment Area (EA) and is zoned Industrial - Light (IL). The IL zoning designation is primarily intended to provide areas for low- intensity manufacturing, industrial services, distribution, storage, and technical schools. The previous tenant, DHL Global Forwarding, included uses classified as “Warehousing and Distribution” and “Office, General”. The proposed uses include “Warehousing and Distribution” and “Office, General”. Both proposed uses are permitted in the IL zone (per CI-158). Therefore the proposed use is not classified as a change of use. Development Standards: The project would be subject to RMC 4-2-120B, “Development Standards for Industrial Zoning Designations” effective at the time of complete application (noted as “IL standards” herein). These standards 7 are available on the City’s website at https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/Renton/#!/Renton04/Renton0402/Renton0402130A.html Minimum Lot Size, Width and Depth: There are no minimum requirements for lot width or depth IL in the zone for lots created after September 1, 1985. The minimum lot size for lots created after September 1, 1985 in the CO zone is 35,000 square feet. No changes are proposed to the lot size, width or depth as part of the future tenant improvement project. Lot Coverage: The IL zone allows a maximum building coverage of 65 percent, or 75 percent if parking is provided within a building or within an on-site parking garage. There is no maximum impervious surface coverage for the zone. The submitted site plans indicate that the proposed project will not increase the building coverage on the site. The proposed project appears to meet the lot coverage requirements. Lot coverage requirements would be verified at the time of building permit review. Setbacks: Setbacks are the distance between the building and the property line or any private access easement. Setback requirements in the IL zone are as follows: Minimum Front Yard 20 ft; When abutting a Principal Arterial street 15 ft; All other streets, except 20 ft if a lot is adjacent to or abutting a lot zoned residential. Minimum Side Yard Along a Street 20 ft; When abutting a Principal Arterial street 15 ft; All other streets, except 50 ft if a lot is adjacent to or abutting a lot zoned residential. Minimum Rear and Side Yards None, except 20 ft. if lot abuts a lot zoned residential, which may be reduced to 15 ft through the Site Plan development review process. Clear Vision Area In no case shall a structure over 42 in. in height intrude into the 20 ft. clear vision area defined in RMC 4-11-030. Gross Floor Area: There are no minimum requirements for gross floor area within the IL zone. Building Height: The maximum building height permitted in the CA zone is 50 feet, except 100 ft if the lot is located in the Employment Area (EA). The subject property is located in the Employment Area (EA) and is therefore allowed a maximum building height of 100 ft. The existing building appears to comply with the height requirements for the IL zone. 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 manufacturing and other nonresidential developments, a minimum of three (3) 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 six (6) 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. The applicant shall demonstrate compliance with the refuse and recycling area requirements at the time of formal building permit application. Landscaping: All portions of the development area not covered by structures, required parking, access, circulation or service areas, must be landscaped with native, drought-resistant vegetative cover. The minimum on-site landscape width required along street frontages is 10 feet. Street trees and groundcover in the ROW planter strip will also be required. 8 All parking lots shall have perimeter landscaping. Such landscaping shall be at least ten feet (10') in width as measured from the street right-of-way. See RMC 4-4-070H.4 for planting requirements. Surface parking lots with 51 to 99 parking stalls must provide a minimum of 25 square feet of landscaping per parking space. Any interior parking lot landscaping area shall be sized to dimensions of at least eight feet (8') by twelve feet (12'), not including the curb. There shall be no more than fifty feet (50') between parking stalls and an interior parking lot landscape area. Please refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) for additional general and specific landscape requirements. Tree Retention: If significant trees are proposed to be removed, a tree inventory and a tree retention plan along with a tree retention worksheet shall be provided with the formal land use application. The tree retention plan must show preservation of at least 10 percent (10%) of significant trees, and indicate how proposed building footprints would be sited to accommodate preservation of significant trees that would be retained. 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 include trees with a caliper of at least six inches (6"), or an alder or cottonwood tree with a caliper of at least eight inches (8"). Trees qualified as dangerous shall not be considered significant. Trees planted within the most recent ten (10) years shall qualify as significant trees, regardless of the actual caliper. 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. If staff determines that the trees cannot be retained, replacement trees, with at least a 2-inch caliper or an evergreen at least 6 feet tall, shall be planted at a rate of 12 caliper inches of new trees to replace each protected tree removed. A formal tree retention plan prepared by an arborist or landscape architect would be reviewed at the time of the formal land use application if any trees are proposed for removal. Fences or Retaining Walls: If the applicant intends to install any fences as part of this project, the location must be designated on the landscape plan. A wall taller than four feet (4') requires a building permit. Fences up to six feet (6’) in height are permitted in the rear yard or side yard; fences up to four feet (4’) are allowed in the front yard. A fence taller than six feet (6') requires a building permit. A fence shall not be constructed on top of a retaining wall unless the total combined height of the retaining wall and the fence does not exceed the allowed height of a standalone fence. New or existing fencing would need to comply with the fence requirements of the code (RMC 4- 4-040). Retaining walls shall be composed of brick, rock, textured or patterned concrete, or othe r masonry product that complement the proposed building and site development. There shall be a minimum three-foot (3') landscaped setback at the base of retaining walls abutting public rights-of-way. Please refer to retaining wall standards (RMC 4-4-040) for additional information about fences and retaining walls. No fences or retaining walls were shown on the submitted materials. Parking: 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 uses classified as “Warehousing” are to provide a minimum/maximum of 1.0 per 1,500 square feet of net floor area (including both “warehousing” and “distribution” space). Parking requirements for uses 9 classified as “Office, General” are to provide a minimum of 2.0 per 1,000 square feet of net floor area and a maximum of 4.5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet of net floor area. The applicant will be required at the time of land use application to provide a parking analysis of the subject site (analysis should include parking requirements for all uses on the site) with calculations based on the requirements noted above. The analysis would include dimensions of stalls and drive aisles. All non-residential development that exceeds 4,000 gross sf 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. An analysis demonstrating compliance with the bicycle parking standards shall be submitted at the time of formal land use application. 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 4-4-075 for additional standards. Non-Conforming Site Development Standards: Per RMC 4-10-020 Nonconforming Site Development Standards, for remodels or other alterations of an existing structure made within any three (3) year period which together exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the assessed or appraised value of the existing structure, the site shall be brought into compliance with this Title. For remodels or other alterations within any three (3) year period which exceed thirty percent (30%) of the assessed or appraised value, but do not exceed one hundred percent (100%), proportional compliance shall be required, as provided in subsection E of this Section. Remodels or other alterations within any three (3) year period that do not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the assessed or appraised value shall not be required to comply with the requirements of the subsection. Mandatory improvements for fire, life safety or accessibility, as well as replacement of mechanical equipment, do not count towards the cited monetary thresholds. Proportional Compliance: The required physical site improvements to reduce or eliminate the nonconformity of the site shall be established by the following formula: 1. Divide the dollar value of the proposed structure improvements, excluding mechanical equipment and mandatory improvements for life, safety, or accessibility, by the assessed or appraised value of the existing structure(s). 2. The monetary value of that percentage is then multiplied by ten percent (10%). 3. The dollar value of this equation is then applied toward reducing the nonconformities. Example: 4. The Department shall determine the type, location and phasing sequence of the proposed site improvements. Access: Driveway widths are limited by the driveway standards, in RMC 4-4080I. No changes to access are proposed as a part of the project. Critical Areas: According to COR Maps, the site is located within a High Seismic Hazard Area. A geotechnical report prepared by a licensed professional may be required by the Building Official at the time of building permit application submittal. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ascertain if any other critical areas or environmental concerns are present on the site during site development or building construction. A wetlands and special flood hazard area are also present on the site according to COR Maps. Per RMC 4-3-050, remodeling, restoring, replacing or removing structures, facilities and other improvements that do not meet the setback or buffer requirements are exempt from the requirements in the section, provided the work complies with 10 the criteria in RMC 4-10-090. Based on the proposed scope of the project, which includes interior work and minor site changes, the requirement for a formal wetlands report and base flood elevation data may be waived. If the scope changes prior to formal land use submittal, a professional study may be required at staffs discretion. The site is also partially located in Reach C of the Black River/Springbrook Creek Regulated Shoreline Area. The portion of the site within the regulated shoreline area is designated Shoreline High Intensity. Per RMC 4-10-09 ‘Shoreline Master Program, Nonconforming Uses, Activities, Structures, and Sites’, continuation of existing use and activities do not require prior review or approval if the activity does not modify the character, scope, or size of the original structure or facility or increase the impact to, or encroach further within, the sensitive area or buffer and there is no increased risk to life or property as a result of the proposed operation, maintenance, or repair. The applicant is required to submit an application for a Shoreline Exemption to be processed concurrently with the other land use perimts. Site Plan Approval: Per RMC 4-9-200, site plan review is required for any development in the Employment Area Comprehensive Plan land use designation. 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. Environmental Review: The proposal includes the addition of parking stalls in an existing parking lot with greater than 20 existing stalls and is located on a site encumbered by critical areas; therefore, an environmental checklist is a submittal requirement. An environmental determination will be made by the Renton Environmental Review Committee. Permit Requirements: All applications can be reviewed concurrently in an estimated time frame of 6 to 8 weeks once a complete application is accepted. The 2021 application fee for the Site Plan Review is $2,700.00. The 2021 application fee for the Environmental (SEPA) Review is $1,600.00. No application fee is required for a Shoreline Exemption. 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 St andards can also be found on the City’s website at https://www.rentonwa.gov/cms/ one.aspx?portalId=7922741&pageId=9666400. 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 payable prior to building permit issuance.
