The civil construction review process includes a formal intake meeting for acceptance of submittals and resubmittals to the permit center and a formalized City review and approval process, as well as outlined drafting standards to ensure that the City’s expectations for civil drawings are clear, concise and readily available. Refer to Renton Municipal Code (RMC) for more information. Specific Code Section(s) related to this document RMC Ch 4-6 Street and Utility Standards RMC Ch 4-8 Permits – General and Appeals Section I: Civil Construction Permit Review Flow Chart and Review Process The review and approval process is summarized on the flow chart below and further explained in subsequent pages. Applicant Responsibilities City Responsibilities City Held Meetings Note: The established timelines do not account for unintended findings, modification requests and review time, or omissions which may delay the review process. Step 1 Applicant schedules Intake Meeting Step 2 Intake Meeting held Step 3 City review period Step 4 Plans Approved Step 5 Applicant submits Construction Plans and admin items Step 6 City reviews admin items and signs Construction Plans Step 7 Applicant returns Construction Plans and copies Step 8 Applicant schedules Pre- Construction Meeting Step 9 Pre-Construction Meeting held Step 10 Civil Construction Permit issued CIVIL CONSTRUCTION PERMIT PROCESS AND SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS (CONT’D) Page 2 of 5 | Published: 1/10/2022 Step 1: Schedule the Intake Meeting The initial submittal of the Civil Construction Permit will require scheduling an Intake Meeting by contacting the assigned Development Engineer and emailing a copy of the signed Civil Construction Permit Application. The Development Engineer will then send a meeting invite along with the initial invoice for Plan Review Fee. As outlined in City Ordinance No. 4345, 50% of the plan review and inspection fees are to be paid at Permit Submittal. The balance is due at Permit Issuance. Significant changes or additional review cycles (beyond 3 cycles) during the review process may result in adjustments to the final review fees. If you do not know who your assigned Development Engineer is, please contact Development Engineering at 425-430-7266. Please have the Land Use Application Number (LUA#) for your project ready. Note: The Applicant has the option to schedule an informal pre-screen meeting prior to preparing the required number of copies for the formal intake meeting. Applicants should coordinate with the assigned City Development Engineer to determine if a pre-screen meeting is appropriate for their project. One complete copy of the application package (including all submittal items) is required for informal review by the City Development Engineer. Please allow approximately 45 minutes for the application screening. Step 2: Intake Meeting At the Intake Meeting, the City Development Engineer will use the Intake Checklist and project specific conditions identified in the Land Use Approval Letter(s) to confirm that all required plans and documents are complete. The following items are all required at the First Intake meeting: Electronic Copy of the Civil Construction Permit Application, Intake Checklist, All Plans, Complete TIR, and all supporting reports and studies Electronic Copy of the Bond Quantity Worksheet (.xlsx format) Draft Electronic copy of easement and/or right-of- way dedication documents (note: not applicable to plats; documents will be recorded at project close- out) If the submittal is deemed complete, then the initial invoice shall be paid prior to the City accepting the submittal for review. If the City determines the applicant has not provided a complete submittal or if any of the conditions identified in the land use decision as applicable to the civil construction permit have not been addressed, the applicant will be required to schedule a new intake meeting after all items have been addressed. Step 3: City Review Period Timeline for 1st review: 4 – weeks from Intake. (Subsequent review timeline: 2- weeks from Intake) Upon completion of a successful and complete intake, the City has accepted the submitted materials for review and the first review cycle has begun. The City reviewers will evaluate your plans for compliance with development standards, applicable codes and regulations, and satisfaction of Land Use Decision conditions as applicable to the civil construction permit. Step 4: Review Cycle Complete Once the review is complete, the City Development Engineer will provide any comments and markups to the Applicant. Minor updates/revisions may be addressed by the Applicant and submitted as a PDF document sent via email to the City Development Engineer, or as the final construction set of plans if deemed acceptable by the Development Engineer. If, however, comments need to be addressed prior to approval, the City Development Engineer may require a second (or subsequent) review. The Applicant will revise the plans and repeat Steps 1 and 2 to resubmit for approval. The City Development Engineer will review and comment as necessary, repeating steps 3 and 4 until all code requirements and comments have been met. City Staff may require a meeting with the Applicant and Engineer to review the plans and requirements for reviews that extend beyond 3 reviews. Additional fees per City fee schedule may be charged to reviews which extend beyond 3 reviews.

Step 6: Final Administrative Review and Signature Timeline for Signatures: 1-week from acceptance. Upon receipt of the Construction Plans and administrative items noted in Step 5, the City Development Engineer will perform a final administrative review and request signatures from all required City Staff. The City Development Engineer will provide the Applicant with an invoice for the remaining permit fees associated with the civil construction permit invoice and the required Surety Device (can be in the form of Performance Bond, Assignment of Savings, Irrevocable Letter of Credit, or Security Agreement) for construction.

Step 10: Civil Construction Permit Issued Provided that all required items have been received and the final invoice has been paid, the Civil Construction Permit will be issued at, or immediately following, the Pre-Construction Meeting.
