July 2, 1982. The recommended access plan calls for significant widening of S. 43rd Street to six and seven lanes, plus a traffic signal at Davis Avenue with a protected left turning green arrow for traffic entering the Hospital Campus. The location of Davis Avenue requires the prohi- bition of left turns into Davis Avenue toward One Valley Place. These turns can, of course, be made at Talbot Road South. The recommended plan, in my opinion, is in the best interests of the Valley General Hospital and the City of Renton, and provides most of t'ie access provisions requested by One Valley Place. I have been able to coordinate our analysis with Mr. William E. Popp, Traffic Engineer for One Valley Place. We are in agreement on virtually all recommendations except the prohibition of left turns in- to Davis Avenue. If you desire, we can continue to work with Mr. Popp to try to find a safe and acceptable solution to this last item. I plan to present this report to the Board of Commissioners on Thursday, September 16, 1982. At your request, I will also represent the Board at the scheduled hearing on Phase I of One Valley Place before the Renton Hearing Examiner on September 21, 1982. I have enjoyed working with you and your staff on this complex traffic engineering project and look forward to a continuing relation- ship during implementation of the recommendations.

Recent traffic reports by the developers i of One Valley Place, a major multi-use development south of S. 43rd Street, have proposed major revisions to S. 43rd Street. The combination of these items caused the Board of Commissioners of the Valley General Hospital to retain a traffic engineering consultant to conduct a Traffic Circulation Study for the Hos- pital Campus. Transportation Planning & Engineering, Inc. TP&E) was retained by contract dated July 2, 1982, to conduct this study. The study was divided into two major components: 1 ) Problem Identification and Analysis, and 2 ) Traffic Circulation Improve- ments. This is the Final Report which combines the data from i the interim report of August 19, 1982, with the analysis and rec- ommendations of the study. VICINITY MAP - SUBREGIONAL TRANSPORTATION Figure 1 shows the relationship of the Hospital site to the Southeast Renton, Northeast Kent, Valley floor subregion. It is significant to note that the Hospital site abuts S. 43rd Street, the highest volume arterial street serving a relatively large area. South 43rd Street is one of eight arterial streets serv- ing the area, and carries over 1/4 of the total traffic in and out of the area ( 30, 600 out of about 110, 000 daily arterial trip,3 ) . In December, 1981, King County prepared a Norttl Zoos Creek Pla o.au Study which focused on transportation plus other devel- l' opment related issues. This was requested by the County Council 1- StIATTLE t I . .. A: . ,.. ,• . ja : 13, : \•'\ - ..-:.

The one project that is presently under way is the construction of SR 515 by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT ) on new alignment north of Carr Road (S. 43rd Street ) . This will provide some relief for traffic heading into downtown Renton. However, it will not have direct access to the freeway system and will not provide addi- tional access to the Valley floor. S. 43rd Street, adjacent to the Hospital , will continue to provide the primary access from this subarea to the Valley floor and the only access to SR-167 for the forseeable future. Although much discussion has been put forth about the need for an interchange on SR 167 at South 212th Street, no construction funding for this project is in sight. However, District #1 of WSDOT is presently funded for De- 1 igrC1 Right-of-Way acquisition, with design completion expect- d .)y mid-1983. This will put the project in, a favorable posi- nillatehen and if construction funding becomes available. The itact that it has been funded for design is an indication of the rnportance placed on it by WSDOT. It is important to keep the subregional significance of S. 43rd Street in mind while discussing access plans for the Hos- pital Campus and short to long-term traffic operations on S. 43rd Street between SR 167 and Talbot Road. 1 SIT::; PLAN - LOCAL ENVIRONMENT The Hospital site Figure 2 is bounded by SR 167 (The Valley Freeway) , S. 43rd Street (South 180th Street ) , and Talbot Road South (Springbrook Road ) on the west, south and east sides. Pri- vate property abuts to the north, with no access provided. SR 167 is a limited access freeway, which effectively prohibits all 3- 7./, I 17 17 i, 74 c.--- '''.2 : , • 1=3 C• ; ; 1 ; ; ' 1 ESI 4-- Of fi, •.. tity14 tjz z.- 44,‘„:„.„, 4 • e i; .. 77- 7 1.'.: i.v.e) ; c P-:'3". -,„„?

II t"' ii . [)11 ( FIGURE 2 access to the west. S. 43rd Street is designated a minor arter- ial by the City of Renton and carried 30, 600 vehicules per day in 1981 between SR 167 and Talbot Road South, per City of Renton records. This can be classified as a very large volume of traf- fic for a five-lane arterial street, and traffic problems are observed by the users daily. The access to the Hospital site from S. 43rd Street is limited to a single driveway, and the sta- tus of this driveway is subject to discussion with the City of Rentcn. Thus, Talbot Road South is the City street which provides the ppimary driveway access to the site. In fact, the main en- try .,o the Hospital is oriented toward the first driveway north of S. 43rd Street on Talbot Road South. Substantial patient and visitor parking is located between the Hospital buildings and Talbot Road South. The northern driveway from Talbot Road South also provides direct access to this patient and visitor parking, as well as additional parking on the north and west sides of the buildings. Employees are encouraged to park in the northwest parking areas, with a mixture of outpatient and employee parking in the southwest parking areas. When the current building expansion is complete, the Emerg- ncy Room (E.R. ) Access will be via a one-way roadway flowing orth and eastbound. The Medic One Unit will be stationed in a ew facility under the helicopter pad. All vehicles leaving the R. area are currently planned to leave via Talbot Road South. Visits to the Emergency Rooms averaged 99 per day in 1981. Anal ,sis of E.R. visit data for June 17 - 30th and July 8 - 21st, 1982 shows a slight reduction to 91 visits per day for this 28-day period. For the 20 weekdays recorded, there were an 11 verage of 84 E.R. visits per weekday. Thirty-two percent were 5- i during the 7-3 day shift, 52 percent in the evening shift and 16 percent during the night shift. Of these weekday E.R. visits, less than an average of 1 per day was a Class 1 Patient ( life threatning injury ) . It is estimated that about 10 percent of e E.R. visits are delivered by Medic One, Aid Cars, or Ambulan- s. The rest arrive by private automobile. Medic One esti- tes that only 5 to 10 percent of their patient deliveries are de under "Red Light" conditions. Thus only one or two of the 100 daily E.R. arrivals is under "red light" conditions. bout 90% of the rest arrive by private automobile, driven by ivers who probably have never been to the Valley General Hospi- 1 Emergency Room before and are undoubtably under stress due ito the injury or illnes of their passenger. The Warehouse Receiving and Shipping operation is in the southwest portion of the building. It will be relocated slight- ly south. All trucks (8 - 12 per day) using the warehouse area Presently access the site via S. 43rd Street. The Dietary Service vehicles use the Main Entrance on the rd floor and enter the site via Talbot Road South. There are roximately 4 - 6 service vehicles per day making deliveries Dietary. Upon completion of the current expansion, these de- i eries will be made through a new side door directly into Diet- r from the Main Entrance area. This will remove these deliv- rres from the main third floor lobby. Some of these deliveries re made by large single unit or small semi-trailer trucks, h ch are too high to fit under the canopy. The milk, bread, i , etc. vans are small enough to get under the canopy and un- 0 d next to the new door. Dietary' s paper goods are delivered b ut every two weeks in large quantities to the warehouse for torage and daily distribution to Dietary. 6- The Linen Service has one truck that stays at the Hospital vernight and makes up to 4 to 5 trips a day to transport laund- y. This truck uses the loading dock near payroll. The access s via S. 43rd Street. The Diaper Service is separate. It has ne truck that makes deliveries three times a week to the same oadiag area, except it usually does not use the loading dock. The Pharmacy has three general types of service vehicles. Large deliveries are made to the warehouse and are included in he discussion above. About two times per day a van makes pharm- cutical deliveries to the same loading dock as the Linen Ser- ice uses. About 4 to 12 times a day, taxicabs make blood bank eliveries or pickups. These are delivered by the driver to the harmacy window, which is on the first floor in the southwest orner of the building. When the new building is complete, a ew elevator will be available from the E.R. Entrance area down o Pharmacy. This will place the 4 to 12 taxi ' s per day in the ew E.R. parking area for loading/unloading. P METRO Transit provides bus service to the site via four bus ines. Only one of these, however, provides regular service on n hourly basis. Route 155 runs from Southcenter to S. 43rd treat, stops at Talbot Road, goes east to Fairwood, then north- est to downtown Renton, and returns. Service is about once per our in each direction. Routes 149 and 156 provide commuter Service via Talbot Road to Harbor Island and the Renton Park & ide Lot. Two trips per peak hour per route are provided. out,: 912 is a twice daily van service from Renton to Kent, with stpp at the Hospital. Route 155 serves the Hospital via bus stops on S. 43rd treat east of Talbot Road South. It is in this location to void the congestion associated with the SR 167 ramps, and to 7- provide pedestrain protection at the traffic signal at Talbot j Road South. The private property east of the Hospital site is developed ith a substantial amount of medical office space, plus other upport functions. The property south of S. 43rd Street is part- ally developed with medical offices and the Good Neighbor Cen- er. There are driveways onto S. 43rd Street from each of these uildings. Immediately north of the Hospital site is the new 40, 000 sq. ft. Chin Hills Medical Office Building. This build- ing was complete but vacant in July, 1982. A major piece of property south of S. 43rd Street with the remaining frontage between the Good Neighbor Center and SR 167 s now being developed. This development will have substantial residential , general office, medical office, bank and restaurant uses . The residential portion of the development has been separ- ated from the commercial portion. The residential portion (One lbot Place ) has received final approval from the City of nton. The commercial portion (One Valley Place ) received ap- oval of the Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) from the City of Renton in 1981. Approval of the final PUD for the first phase of the commercial portion is now being requested by the developer. li Access to these developments will be via Talbot Road south of S. 43rd Street and a proposed new street (Davis Avenue, or T not Place ) intersecting with S. 43rd Street. This project h s had three Traffic Circulation studies completed. The most r cent study recommends a traffic signal at this new street intersection with S. 43rd Street, interconnected with the 8- existing City of Renton traffic signal at Talbot Road and with the new traffic signal now being designed by WSDOT for the SR 167 northbound ramps. EATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS When conducting a traffic study one needs to have an under- standing of certain data. This generally includes traffic vol- ume on an Average Daily Traffic (ADT ) basis, and then how that traffic is distributed over the day. We speak in terms of a peak hour" of the specific generator (eg. the Hospital ) that may be at a different time period than the peak hour of the adjacent arterial street. The local agency which owns and operates the street (City of Renton ) is most often interested in how the street will operate during its ' peak hour. Usually the peak hour of the day is in the PM peak period. Our profession has developed techniques to determine the theoretical maximum number of vehicles that can pass through a given intersection in a one-hour period, based on the number of lanes available, traffic control in use ( ie. traffic signal vs stop sign ) , turning movement requirements, etc. We call this the "capacity" of an intersection. We sometimes relate capa- city to one approach to an intersection, a whole intersection, or a segment of roadway. In this analysis, we are relating to the signalized intersections as a whole intersection. We then create a ratio between the existing or projected traffic volume and the calculated capacity. This is called the Volume/Capacity V/C ) ratio. Traffic data was collected in order to adequately establish the traffic flow patterns on and around the Hospital site. Traf- fic volume was machine counted on Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- 9- lay, July 14 - 16th, 1982, at three ( 3 ) locations and recorded every 15 minutes with hourly totals. Traffic volume was manu- 0.1y counted, including turning movements, at four ( 4 ) inter- sections of driveways to the Hospital Campus from the public streets on Thursday, July 15, 1982. In addition, on Thursday, July 15, 1982, an inventory of vehicles parked on Campus was trade at approximately 7: 00 A.M. , 9 : 00 A.M. , 2 : 00 P.M. and 6 : 00 P.M. Table 1 shows the data that was collected for Thursday, July 15 , 1982 . From this data, estimates were made for all ether time periods and locations. Table 2 shows the traffic Elow in and out of all driveways, plus total Campus in and out raffic and accumulated vehicles parked on-site, by each hour of he day. Figure 3 summarizes this data on a daily traffic flow a is. 0 There were approximately 5800 vehicle trips ( includes in 1 s out ) made by 2900 vehicles on July 15, 1982. One third of h se trips ( 33 percent ) used the S. 43rd Street driveway. rty-eight percent used the Main Entrance driveway, with 12 17 percent using the next two driveways north, respectively. the maximum accumulation of vehicles on-site was approximately 100 at 11 : 00 A.M. , with over 700 vehicles on-site from 10: 00 10. to after 4: 00 P.M. An estimate of the direction of approach to the site was Wade from the traffic count data. These estimates are also Flown on Figure 3, with about 54 percent of the site traffic com- ng from and going to the west on S. 43rd Street, 22 percent last, 14 percent north on Talbot Road S. and 10 percent south. portion of these percentages using Talbot Road S. represent ry short vehicular trips between the Hospital and the surround- 10- INIPIPMCPWISkr)k-""WieW41,-."--- k- renr-it-r, u.tw 1r' ' n '.."-fa s w-sj 4,v, .,,,..rrisw ...'.1,,,,„•, s ""..1 Y s --:..-- *.. ^.{.y0,74cry. m- ; y«AFF,.•:s'+'' 'j.. in TABLE 1 TRAFFIC VOLUME DATA COLLECTED JULY 15, 1982 MACHINE RECORDED VOLUMES MANUALLY RECORDED TRAFFIC VOLUME COUNTS HOUR IN PLUS OUT) ENDING S 43 ST DRIVEWAY SOUTH DRIVEWAY MIDDLE DRIVEWAY NORTH DRIVEWAY ACCUM.

Most of these vehicles actually originate o the west on S. 43rd Street, so the Hospital-related traffic using this street segment may be closer to 60% rather than the j 4% shown on Figure 3. Figure 4 shows (in graphical form) the hourly variation of the site traffic for entering, leaving, and the total. The peak tours are shown to be from 6 - 7 A.M. and from 3: 00 - 4: 00 P.M. , reflecting the Hospital 7: 00 A.M. - 3: 00 P.M. day time shift. Hourly traffic flow data for S. 43rd Street between Talbot oad S. and SR 167 was obtained from the City of Renton Traffic Engineer. Figure 5 is a graphical representation of this data by the hour, by direction and total of both directions. This Xdata is for Thursday/Friday, August 20, 21, 1981, and totals 30, 681 vehicles per day. The approximate peak periods were from 17: 00 - 8: 00 A.M. and 4: 00 - 5 : 00 P.M. E 1' Figure 6 combines onto the same graph, at the sameverticali kale, the total site traffic ( in and out ) vs the total S. 43rd treet traffic (both directions ) . Note that the Hospital traf- fic peaks about one hour before the street traffic, in both peak periods. South 43rd Street traffic shows a classical bi-nodal graph reflecting a sharp A.M. peak for commuters, starting a gradual rise in mid-morning with a hint of a peak at noon, then rising in the afternoon to a P.M. commuter peak hour, which is the highest of the day, then dropping off during the evening. s 3` The data was next combined and balanced for all system in- ersections for the peak hour time periods, as shown in the Ap- ndix as Figure A-1 and A-2. v 13- llii r; k Lrf...,.r'q I JIM r I ri 1,, a 44. c_, 7 ft... . , , i ,, ,---,.... ,, t,, :rr irr. h r`). 1' r ai G1- J.- 4 c - Q 11 5::iiii7, 4,,, ,,, i r 1.

I' V V VALLEY GENERAL HOSPITAL TRAFFIC CIRCULATION STUDY H;. This is the data that was used as a basis for the existing nditions capacity analysis. The degree of capacity used on a dway segment or at an intersection is described in "Levels of rvice" ( LOS) letters A through F. Level of Service "A" repre- nts free flowing traffic with little or no delays, while LOS e is forced-flow with stop-and-go conditions. Level of Ser- b:, represents traffic flow at or near the possible capa- ce ity of the roadway. The V/C ratio is a direct relationship to vel of Service. Our calculations for the intersection of S. 3rd Street and Talbot Road S. for existing conditions result in I. V/C ratio of . 81 and a LOS "C" in the P.M. peak period. This consistant with calculations made by other traffic engineers r the One Valley Place Development for this intersection under isting conditions (they show a V/C = . 77, LOS "C" ) . Thus we have established a data base for the Hospital site d adjacent streets which has a solid foundation and is consis- nt with the data base that the One Valley Place Development is ing for their traffic analysis. URE TRAFFIC GROWTH The Hosiital E ans on r _ is expected o" in-- " the site traffic flow by apPima,telv...ZO rye % We vXoxeassumedthatthisadditionalgrowth will be fully implement- by 1986, which was chosen primarily because this is the time- ame of the One Valley Place analysis, and we want to be consis- 14' 6 • nt. Twenty percent growth represents approximately 1160 new spital trips for a total 1986 daily volume of approximately 100 trips. Figure A-3 shows the 1986 Hospital generated AM peak hour affic assigned to the driveways and intersections. Figure 18- i. k-4 shows the projected 1986 Hospital generated P.M. peak hour traffic volume. This all assumes continuing the existing drive- EYay operation. IA In April, 1982, William Popp Associates prepared a Supple- nental Traffic Study #2 for One Valley Place. That study makes similar traffic projections for the new traffic that will be gen- prated by that development by 1986, which is considered to be 1" u11 development. They are projected to have a total of 6768 11 i1y trips by 1986. Thus, by 1986, the traffic volume gener- ted by the Hospital will be nearly matched by the traffic vol- e generated by One Valley Place (7000 vs 6768 daily trips) . bining our data base with One Valley Place data projections, lus expansion of existing on-street traffic by 3 percent per ar, to account for other traffic growth, results in a combined 986 traffic projection. This 1986 P.M. peak hour projection as- mes a new road to the south to service One Valley Place, under o traffic control options. Figure A-10 shows the data assum- ng the new roadway without a traffic signal at S 43rd Street. figure A-12 reassigns the traffic, both for One Valley Place and or the Hospital, assuming a traffic signal is installed at this ew roadway (Davis Avenue) . The primary difference is the umber of vehicles making left-turns at the new intersection, tth and without a traffic signal. Left-turning vehicles leav- g One Valley Place will need a traffic signal to get out. The esumption is that vehicles will turn left from Davis Avenue if signal is installed there. If a signal is not installed, most the left-turns will be made from Talbot Road South. A some- at similar assumption would be true for Hospital trafficturn4 sg left from the site. However, for the Hospital, this is latively minor traffic movement. For One Valley Place, it is major movement. n a. 19- t: Table 3 summarizes our V/C ratio and Level of Service deter- inations utilizing this data base. This clearly shows that if F. ne Valley Place is allowed to be constructed as proposed, sign- ficant improvements to the intersection of South 43rd Street at Talbot Road S. must be made, no matter what is done at Davis venue with regard to a new signal. It must be remembered that the City of Renton (and the traf- is engineering profession, as well as the general driving pub- ic) likes to maintain LOS "C" at all intersections, if pos- ible. In our urban areas, considering the current shortage of ocal, state and federal funds for transportation improvements, Ache City finds itself accepting a LOS "D" as a tolerable condi- Kion at many locations. LOS "E" is considered an intolerable ondition with unacceptable delays to traffic due to congestion. t en projected volume exceeds capacity (ie. a V/C ratio greater han 1. 0 ) , we have system-failure. ht 20- tR i r TABLE 3 LEVEL OF SERVICE AND VOLUME/CAPACITY RATIOS AT v SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS DURING P.M.

A V/C of 1.23 shows that about 23 percent more traffic is trying to get through an intersection than can actually get through, thus showing intersection failure and unacceptable congestion. a' ,j 2 21- SUSS AND PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION Today's conditions on S. 43rd Street between Talbot Road S. and SR 167 are of concern with 30, 600 ADT, the lack of a traffic signal at the SR 167 northbound ramps causing U- turns, and reported morning Hospital peak period left turn congestion. The proposed One Valley Place Development will add nearly 6800 daily trips by 1986 to the area as presently proposed by the developer. This is about equal to the number of 1986 daily Hospital trips (7000 ) . This level of trip gener- ation by One Valley Place has not been approved by theCityt, of Renton. A smaller development would generate fewer trips. The subregional significance of S. 43rd Street clearly in- dicates that development pressures to the east, as well as industrial development in the Valley floor, will continue to increase traffic volume on S. 43rd Street. One third of the Hospital ' s daily traffic volume (including 100% of the Emergency Room traffic and most of the service vehicles ) use the S. 43rd Street driveway. The new Emergency Room vehicle access is set up with enter- ing traffic via S. 43rd Street. To change this concept would be difficult, costly, and inconvenient forEmergencyYvehicles. Most service vehicle destinations on site are in the south- west corner except Dietary) . The closest access is via S. 43rd Street. t` 22- o ir''' E ' w closing the S. 43rd Street driveway to employees, patients, doctors and service vehicles would cause a major redistribu- tion of Hospital generated traffic to Talbot Road South. This would affect the traffic signal at S. 43rd Street and Talbot Road, as well as the proposal at Davis Avenue. It would also increase on-site traffic volume via the north driveway to the large parking area and service area. P'.. Relocating the Hospital ' s S. 43rd Street driveway to the i east to make a four-way intersection with Davis Avenue is i possible and would be relatively inexpensive. The new Doctors ' parking area near the E.R. will need con- t: venient access. Y 4 r. METRO Transit' s bus service now stops east of Talbot Road South, which is relatively inconvienent for Hospital-relat- ed trips. There is a need to establish better service. A proposed bus turn around on the master-site plan would i close one of the three Hospital driveways from Talbot Road 4 South. The new WSDOT signal at the SR 167 northbound ramps will be about 770 feet west of Talbot Road South. An additional new signal at Davis Avenue for One Valley Place would re- suit in an extremely short spacing of about 305 feet be- tween Davis Avenue and Talbot Road S. Left-turn projec- tions are high, requiring relatively long left-turn storage lanes, which may conflict in this short distance. The ques- tions of effectively coordinating these three signalized in- tersections (plus possibly a 4th one at S.W. 43rd Street 23- aY •,', r i ainprogressiveandEastValleyRoad ) system needs to be seriously analyzed. The question of traffic safety needs to be addressed. 4 tr3 psi Vr. 24- ALTERNATIVE ACCESS PLAN Thirteen Alternative traffic access plans were identified possible detailed analysis. These alternatives are listed Appendix B. Alternative plans 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and 13 combined h 5, were analyzed in various levels of detail. Figure 7 ough 11 show the general configuration of these alternatives. ernative Plan 14 evolved from the analysis of the above alter- Ives and is shown in Figure 12. Traffic volumes were assigned to each of these alternatives ng necessary assumptions regarding entering and exiting traf- restriction on S. 43rd Street for the Hospital and One Val- Place. Figures A-5 to A-22 show the detailed morning and ernoon peak hour traffic volume projections for each alterna- e, some with varying area development assumptions. Detailed Capacity analysis calculations were made for each ernative in each time period under varying number of lanes traffic control conditions. The results of the capacity an- 4sis expressed in terms of Volume/Capacity ratio and Level of vice is shown in Table 4. The length of storage required (queue length ) was calculat- for the left turn movement for Alternative 5, with various as- r,,ptions. This data is shown in Table 5. The Level of Service calculations at intersections give an v. icaticn of the amount of congestion and delay that can be ex- ted under a given set of traffic volume and traffic control ditions. The length of left turn pocket is assumed to be ade- te in the capacity calculations. If the left turn storage is adequate, there can be a serious reduction in the capacity 25- TABLE 4 Traffic Peak Hour V/C Ratios and Levels of Service for Signalized Street Intersections On S. 43rd Street Traffic Area Traffic Volume Sr 167 NB Development Street Control Appendix Freeway Ramps Davis Ave. S.Talbot Road S.

This is a fatal flaw in any traffic control n. Alternative 5 has this fatal flaw. Table 6 is a summary of advantages and disadvantages of the ious alternatives. Virtually all alternatives require widening of S. 43rd et to six and/or seven lanes by 1986, in order to maintain y. acceptable level of service at the three intersections . ernatives which prohibit or restrict left turn access into P. Hospital and out of One Valley Place, substantially increase traffic volume at Talbot Road South and S. 43rd Street, thus uiring more improvements at that intersection. It is appar- that the traffic access assumptions, area development assump- ns and needed traffic improvements are highly interrelated. RECOMMENDED ACCESS PLAN The Recommended Plan for Traffic Access for the Hospital the adjacent streets is shown in Figure 12 and calls for: 1. Installation of a Traffic signal at Davis Avenue with a relocated Hospital Driveway, a protected left turn phase (green arrow) for traffic entering the Hospital, prohibiting left turns from S. 43rd St. into Davis Avenue, but allowing left turns out of Davis Avenue and the Hospital. 2.

Widening the SR 167 off and on ramps to two lanes near S. 43rd Street. 4. Keeping the eastbound to northbound left turn at the SR 167 on-ramp a single lane rather than a double turn lane, as proposed by One Valley Place. S. Widening Talbot Road S. per the One Valley Place traf- fic report (Popp) one lane southbound north of S. 43rd Street, and rechannelizing Talbot Road S. for double left turns in both directions. (The double left turns assist in giving the maximum amount of green time pos- sible to the through movements on S. 43rd Street ) . 6. Provide adequate storage in the westbound to south- bound left turn lane on S. 43rd Street west of Talbot Road South. 7. At such time as additional major development (such as 60, 000 square feet of medical office building on Tal- bot Road South south of S. 43rd Street ) occurs, an ad- ditional westbound lane will be necessary from east of Talbot Road South to the Hospital driveway. This plan has evolved from the following basic items: 1• Desire to allow left turn ingress to the Hospital for all vehicles to reduce the eastbound to northbound left turn load at Talbot Rd. , and reduce the travel distance of employees, patients and service vehicles. 37- j 2. Desire to provide traffic signal protection for the left turns (with a green arrow) into the Hospital to protect all vehicles entering, but particularly the vehicles entering the Emergency Room area. 3. Desire to provide left turns out of Davis Avenue to the west to reduce the northbound to westbound load at Talbot Rd. 4 4. The absolute need to provide adequate storage lengths for the remaining eastbound to northbound left turns at Talbot Road together with any allowed left turn for westbound to southbound at Davis Avenue. Table 5 shows that back to back left turns between Talbot Rd. South and Davis Avenue would require 375 (175 + 200 ) to 415 (175 + 240 ) feet. This is 100 to 140 feet more than is available (275 Feet ) between the presently planned stop lines. Therefore, the recommended plan prohibits the westbound to southbound left turn. rF 5. The conclusion that the ability to move a group of vehicles through the area with the interconnection of the traffic signals will be enhanced by installing a traffic signal at Davis Avenue. 6. The conclusion that the need for substantial traffic improvements is an absolute, given the proposed developments in the area. 38- J 1 r CX1 pUS RECOMMENDATIONS Traffic flow on the Hospital Campus will be highly depend- t upon the eventual resolution of the treatment of the S.

S. 43rd Street Driveway Reconstruction The reconstruction of the S. 43rd Street Driveway must be refully designed. It must line up with Davis Avenue, allow orage for both left and right turning vehicles leaving the Ite through a traffic signal, provide free access at all times to the Emergency Room area, provide good access to the Doctors rking area, provide access to the employee, service vehicle d out-patient parking areas, and not interfere with the epital operation. This is a significant design problem in self. It is recommended that this driveway design be carefully rked out by a traffic engineer, in coorporation with the pital's Architect. Medic One Exit. The Medic One Unit will be housed in a new location oppo- te the E. R. entrance, under the heliport. The Medic One tits leave the station under red light conditions on virtually1emergencycalls.

Medic One estimates that over two-thirds of their calls are the Valley, and will want to be going west on S. 43rd Street. appears likely that b) above will be the normal exiting route Medic One Units under red light conditions. However, there street width limitations on this route. It is recommended that the Emergency Room access roadway widened to two (2 ) lanes for emergency two-way traffic from 43rd Street to the Medic One Station. Radiation Therapy Unit w. The proposed Radiation Therapy Unit is intended to be a h out-patient facility with a relatively high patient rnover rate. Its proposed location is adjacent to the main traACe to the Hospital Lobby and the Emergency Room Exit badvay. This is a potential area for traffic congestion and fide to be carefully designed.

A southerly location of the bus turn around would: a) Reduce Metro patrons ' walking distance between Hospital Lobby and the Bus Stop. b) Reduce Metro bus travel time; and r, . c) Allow the third driveway to remain open. It is recommended that serious consideration be given to locating the Metro Bus Turn around to the south. North and South Driveways to Talbot Road South. The north and south driveways have been reviewed with re- act`>to the need for traffic signals. It does not appear that r °minimum warrants for a traffic signal are met. These war- ate are identified in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control rice for Streets and Highways. However, as additional devel- ment Occurs on Talbot Road South, the traffic control at these iwiways will need to be watched closely. 1 41- Seattle/King County Commuter Pool. The Hospital has a current passive carpooling program which Thcludes a map and card system on a bulletin board near the cafe- ria. There are no records of carpools in operation. frith approximatly 1000 employees at the Hospital, it is a jor employer and potential candidate for an active carpool - anpocl program in cooperation with the Seattle/King County Com- ter Pool. While parking is free and plentiful at the present,• his situation may change upon completion of the current expan- 1 ion. This then could become an incentive to carpool. As the ospital Campus continues to fill-in, parking, at some point in 1im , will become premium space. Under certain conditions, an fictive carpool/vanpool program can significantly reduce the park- ng demand for a major employer. This also reduces the traffic low, especially during the peak hours of employee traffic. It is recommended that the Hospital initiate an active car- 1/vanpool program in cooperation with the Seattle/King County liter Pool.

In order to do this, three basis alternative traffic access plans were identified for analysis. The following alternative access plans were potential candi- dates for analysis: 1. Leave Hospital driveway from S. 43rd Street at its present location, allow left-turns into and out of the Hospital driveway by means of raised channelization, allowing all Hospital users to enter or leave as desired, and prohibit all left-turns into and out of the proposed Davis Avenue. 2. Same as 1 except close the internal roadway between E.R. and the southwest parking area, thereby restricting the S. 43rd Street Hospital driveway to Emergency vehicles and Doctors parking only. 3. Relocate the Hospital driveway east to make a 4-way intersection with the proposed Davis Avenue, allow all left-turns in and out of the Hospital and One Valley Place, without a traffic signal at Davis Avenue. 4. Same as 3 except close the internal roadway per 2 above. 5. Same as 3 except assume a traffic signal at Davis Ave- nue. 6. Same as 5 except close the internal roadway per 2 above. 7. Leave the Hospital driveway from S. 43rd Street at its present location, allow all left-turns into the Hos- pital from S. 43rd Street, but prohibit left-turns out by means of a raised median island, allow left-turns into but not out of Davis Avenue, with no signal at Davis Avenue. 8. Same as 7 except close internal roadway per 2 above. 9. Same as 7 except install a traffic signal at Davis Ave- nue, and allow left-turns in and out of Davis Avenue. 10. Sames as 9 except close internal roadway per 2 above. 11. Close the S. 43rd Street Hospital driveway and con- struct a new internal road from the south driveway from Talbot Road South to the ER, around the heli- copter pad. Assume Davis Avenue is a "T" intersection with no traffic signal. 12. Same as 11 except assume a traffic signal at Davis Ave- nue. 13. Assume the density of thr commercial portion of One Valley Place is cut in half (or some other percentage reduction) and any of the above alternatives. Alternative Plans 2 and 5 were recommended for An- alysis, as well as Number 8 combined with 13. During the course of the analysis, number 13 was combined with 5 rather than Number 8, and number 14 was developed. 14. Same as 5 except prohibit left turns from S. 43rd Street into Davis Avenue. iI a(o3 -sZ TRAFFIC IMPACT OVERVIEW PROPOSED MEDICAL BUILDING CONDOMINIUM 4518 Talbot Road South Renton, Washington September 26 , 1982 DAVID I, HAMLIN & ASSOCIATES 1840 130th Avenue N.E . Bellevue , Washington 98005 1 .0 INTRODUCTION This project will provide a medical-dental office complex consisting of two buildings of 39 , 700 square feet each . The project will abut the east side of Talbot Road South approximately 850 feet south of South 43rd Street . Talbot Road South is a two-lane facility in the vicinity of the project , however it is widened and improved north of the site with a curb-to-curb width of approximately 44 feet . There is currently several significant projects underway in the vicinity of the proposed project . These include One Valley Place" , a mixed-use project involving medical offices , general offices , bank , restaurant , and nursing home , and the project to expand the Valley General Hospital . Separate traffic analyses have been prepared for each of those projects . 2 .0 PREVIOUS TRAFFIC ANALYSIS The most current traffic analysis for the "One Valley Place" project was prepared by William E. Popp and Associates in April 1982. That report referenced several earlier traffic studies for the project , however it is in itself a thorough and complete analysis of traffic impacts and mitigation measures . The following page is a reproduction of Figure 3 from that report showing the recommended improvements . The traffic analysis for the Valley General Hospital expansion was completed by Transportation Planning and Engineering, Inc . on September 16, 1982. That report provides estimates of future trip growth at the hospital , evaluates the plan developed by William E. Popp and Associates , and provides a recommended plan for improve- ments . Figure 12 from the TPE Inc . report showing the recommended plan is contained herein immediately follow- ing the W. E . Popp & Associates plan. The TPE, Inc. report also evaluated eight alternative access plans . The two recommended plans referenced above are very similar . There are two differences in the plans : 1 . The W. E. Popp and Associates plan provides for a westbound left-turn lane at the proposed intersection of Talbot Place South and South 43rd Street . The TPE, Inc. plan does not provide the lane on the argument that it will leave insufficient room for the eastbound left-turn lane at Talbot Road South. N., N, ii - \ 1 I ‘.

The W. E . Popp and Associates plan provides for an exclusive left-turn lane and an optional left-turn/ through lane for eastbound traffic at the intersection of South 43rd Street and the northbound on/off ramps for SR 167. The TPE, Inc. plans recommends a single left-turn lane. The W. E. Popp and Associates report provides traffic forecasts for 1986 that include 3% background traffic growth , full development of "One Valley Place" , and the traffic generated by an approved multi-family develop- ment south of the "One Valley Place" site on Talbot Road South. It did not include separate traffic growth figures resulting from the hospital expansion. The TPE , Inc . report used the traffic generation figures and future background traffic growth as provided in the W. E . Popp and Associates report as a basis for estimating future traffic. It also generated traffic growth figures for the hospital expansion and for two other developments ; the completed but vacant Chin Hills Medical Office Build- ing and an assumed 60 ,000 square foot medical office building at 4518 Talbot Road South (the subject site of this report) . The report provides morning and afternoon peak-hour traffic projections for five of the alternate access plans and the recommended plan ( labeled alternate 14 in the reports appendix) for , in some cases , several development alternatives . The TPE , Inc . report assumed that a 60 ,000 square foot medical office building at 4518 Talbot Road South would generate the following peak-hour trips : IN OUT TOTAL Morning Peak Hour 190 50 240 Afternoon Peak Hour 135 200 335 These figures will provide the following trip generation rates on a per thousand square foot of building basis : IN OUT TOTAL Morning Peak Hour 3.2 0.8 4.0 Afternoon Peak Hour 2.2 3 .3 5.6 The basis for these trip estimates is not provided in the report. The TPE, Inc. report concluded that the improvements specified on the recommended plan contained therein would accommodate the "One Valley Place" development , the hospital expansion , and the proposed residential development south of "One Valley Place". It further suggests that the development of a 60 ,000 square foot office building at 4518 Talbot Road South would create a need to widen South 43rd Street to provide an addi- tional westbound lane from Talbot Road South to the hospital driveway. 3 .0 ASSESSMENT 3. 1 Background Traffic Growth There is considerable reason to believe that future traffic volumes on South 43rd Street/Carr Road may in fact be less than today 's traffic volumes . The current project to construct SR 515 as a limited- access facility from Carr Road to Puget Drive will cause a diversion of traffic from Carr Road to the new roadway with a commensurate reduction in volumes on South 43rd Street . The substantial slowdown in new housing construction in the Soo ' s Creek Plateau area will cause a major reduction in future trip forecasts from what had been predicted earlier. The construction of an interchange at SR 167 and South 212th Street will also divert traffic from Carr Road. There is currently a significant volume of traffic on Benson Road south of Carr Road that is using that corridor because it is the sole means of accessing SR 167 between Renton and downtown Kent. Much of this traffic will find it more con- venient to use the South 208th Street/South 212th corridor when the interchange becomes available. Recent actions by the Washington State Department of Transportation make that project appear very promising. The current softness in the employment base in the Renton area (primarily in the aerospace industry) , a situation unlikely to change in the foreseeable future , adds further to the conclusion that traffic growth in the region will be suppressed for a con- siderable period of time . 3.2 New Project-Related Traffic Growth The traffic generation figures cited in the W. E. Popp and Associates and TPE , Inc . reports do not provide allowances for the fact that many trips will be for multiple purposes . It is reasonable to assume that many motorists will make a single trip and visit several destinations . For example , an office worker can, and in some cases will , use the restaurant , bank, and medical facilities while con- tributing a single round-trip. The close proximity of a number of medical-related facilities , with the hospital centrally located amidst them, make it certain that a significant amount of interaction between them will occur. It is also reasonable to assume that some of the facilities proposed for development in the vicinity of the hospital will attract motorists who now pass through the area to obtain similar services else- where. These will be "intercepted" trips and there- fore will not add to the background traffic. Further- more , each "intercepted" trip will in fact deduct traffic from those facilities that will no longer be used due to the shortened trips . It is very difficult to accurately predict in a quantitative manner the actual number of "new" trips that will be generated when an area undergoes the type of changes now being proposed for the sub- ject area. Traffic engineers are beginning to recognize , however , that earlier methods of aggre- gating trips without allowance for "interactive" or intercepted" trips was in some cases creating estimates far in excess of what was actually ex- perienced. It is now believed , for example , that smaller shopping centers will in some cases , derive as much as half of their traffic from trips that are already existing on adjacent roadways . The TPE, Inc . report estimates that a total of almost 8000 new daily trips will be generated by 1986 by the hospital expansion and the "One Valley Place" project (using trip generation figures developed by W. E. Popp and Associates) . It seems very plausible , given the area and circumstances , that a combination of "interactive" and "intercepted" trips could easily reduce the daily trip loading on adjacent roadways by 7,57. (2000 trips) or more. This conservative estimate of trip reduction would reduce P.M. peak- hour trip increases by approximately 200. 3.3 Trip Generation, Subject Site The number of trips generated by the subject project will depend upon several factors . The size of the building and services offered will most heavily influence trip generation. The clinic across Talbot Road South from the subject site was observed for a three-hour period on a typical afternoon to determine trip characteristics. The method of estimating trip characteristics was used because of the fact that the "ITE Trip Generation Manual" does not provide statistics for estimating peak-hour trips developed by medical office buildings . Figure 1 shows the characteristics that were observed during the period from 4:45 to 5 :45 P .M. (peak hour on adjacent streets) . Figure 2 shows an estimate of the number of trips that would be generated by the proposed medical office condominium based upon the factors derived by observing the existing clinic. The trips shown on Figure 2 are for total P.M. peak- hour trips and do not account for "interactive" or intercepted" trips . It would be reasonable , however , to assume that roughly 25% of these trips would not be "new" . This would produce an estimated total of 185 trips . 3.4 Impact Assessment The TPE , Inc . report estimated that 335 P.M. peak- hour trips would be generated by a medical office building on the subject site compared to our estimate of 185 to 246 trips . The W. E . Popp and Associates report did not assign trips to the south on Talbot Road South while our observation indicated that 15% of the trips associated with the existing clinic went to/from the south. Each of the reports was conservative (in favor of high trip estimates) by not acknowledging total trip reduction due to interactive" and "intercepted" trips. Taken together, these factors all contribute to an overall reduction in "new" trips. There is very good reason to believe that background traffic volumes on Carr Road/South 43rd Street will not increase and in fact may be reduced in the next several years . This , combined with our belief that fewer "new" trips will be generated by future de- velopment in the vicinity of the Valley General Hospital leads to the conclusion that estimates of future capacity deficiencies on the local roadway system are premature.

Popp and Associates and TPE , Inc . reports are basically valid. However , we also believe that future traffic forecasts were high to the extent that the basic improvements recommended in either of the reports are sufficient to accommodate much more develop- ment in the area than was previously assumed. The TPE , Inc . report recommended that the improvements shown on the Recommended Access Plan" would accommodate all projects in the area now under consideration except for a medical office building on the subject site. A reduction in forecasts for future traffic increases for the reasons stated earlier in this report would indicate that roadway and intersection capacities following the suggested im- provements would in fact easily accommodate all of the developments under consideration including the proposed medical office condominium. We also recommend that the City of Renton carefully analyze the merits of each of the left-turn configura- tions on South 43rd Street between Talbot Road South and Talbot Place South recommended by the W. E. Popp and Associates and TPE, Inc. reports . It may be possible to accommodate left-turn lanes in each direction if special phasing ( i .e . , lead/lag operation) is employed. The optional left-turn/through lane for eastbound traffic on South 43rd Street at the northbound on/off ramps from SR 167, as recommended in the W. E . Popp and Associates report , would be difficult to control under signalization. We believe that the street system will function more efficiently at that location with a single , exclusive eastbound left-turn lane . CN,03 -OL TRAFFIC IMPACT OVERVIEW PROPOSED MEDICAL BUILDING CONDOMINIUM 4518 Talbot Road South Renton, Washington September 26 , 1982 DAVID I. HAMLIN & ASSOCIATES 1840 130th Avenue N.E. Bellevue , Washington 98005 1 .0 INTRODUCTION This project will provide a medical-dental office complex consisting of two buildings of 39 , 700 square feet each . The project will abut the east side of Talbot Road South approximately 850 feet south of South 43rd Street . Talbot Road South is a two-lane facility in the vicinity of the project , however it is widened and improved north of the site with a curb-to-curb width of approximately 44 feet . There is currently several significant projects underway in the vicinity of the proposed project . These include One Valley Place" , a mixed-use project involving medical offices , general offices , bank , restaurant , and nursing home , and the project to expand the Valley General Hospital . Separate traffic analyses have been prepared for each of those projects . 2 .0 PREVIOUS TRAFFIC ANALYSIS The most current traffic analysis for the "One Valley Place" project was prepared by William E. Popp and Associates in April 1982. That report referenced several earlier traffic studies for the project , however it is in itself a thorough and complete analysis of traffic impacts and mitigation measures . The following page is a reproduction of Figure 3 from that report showing the recommended improvements . The traffic analysis for the Valley General Hospital expansion was completed by Transportation Planning and Engineering, Inc . on September 16 , 1982. That report provides estimates of future trip growth at the hospital , evaluates the plan developed by William E. Popp and Associates , and provides a recommended plan for improve- ments . Figure 12 from the TPE Inc . report showing the recommended plan is contained herein immediately follow- ing the W. E. Popp & Associates plan. The TPE, Inc . report also evaluated eight alternative access plans . The two recommended plans referenced above are very similar. There are two differences in the plans : 1 . The W. E. Popp and Associates plan provides for a westbound left-turn lane at the proposed intersection of Talbot Place South and South 43rd Street. The TPE, Inc. plan does not provide the lane on the argument that it will leave insufficient room for the eastbound left-turn lane at Talbot Road South. ishe'll.... i b 1 I i Y.

The Uniform Fire Code as Ceremonial adopted by the state, Section 25. 117(B)4, states: "Candles held in Candles persons' hands are especially dangerous and shall not be permitted." However , the committee recognizes the time-honored religious tradition of hand-held candles being used in certain worship services, and therefore requests the Fire Marshal annually notify those concerned religious institutions of the dangers of using hand-held candles and the necessity for strict fire safety considerations.

SHINPOCH, MAYOR 235-2580ia 09itD SEPT00 MEMORANDUM IT0: Members of the City Council DATE: February 14, 1983 FROM: Mike Parness SUBJECT: Sparks-Shegrud Rezone Appeal Last Monday the Council changed language in the conditions affecting the subject rezone requiring that provisions be made to install the various off-site improvements prior to occupancy rather than prior to application for a building permit. Unfortunately, during Council deliberations of this matter at both the Ways and Means Committee and later at the regular Council meeting, the staff stated that the proposed revision would be consistent with the conditions established for 'One Valley Place. ' The following language taken from the Committee report (1 -21-83, One Valley Place Appeal ) indicates that the staff was in error: "The applicant provides proof to the satisfaction of the Environmental Review Committee that a mechanism, whether city-initiated LID or otherwise, will provide that the roads in the area are improved to accommodate the projected traffic of phase I of such development prior to the issuance of a building permit. " Since it is not uncommon to condition the issuance of an occupancy permit to the instal - lation of improvements, the Administration does not necessarily oppose the action taken by the Council last week. However, if the Council ' s decision was substantially founded on a desire to be consistent with previous action affecting 'One Valley Place, ' it is important that you be aware of our mistake. I apologize for the confusion arising from this situation. Mike Smith has been notified that this matter would be brought to your attention , and a copy of this memo will be available for his review prior to Monday' s Council meeting.

The traffic impacts of the development proposed will be mitigated by the formation of the proposed LID for traffic improvements in the area of S.W. 43rd and Talbot Road. The site is within the assessment district . Even if the LID is not formed , appropriate restrictions upon development of the site may be imposed by covenants to preclude the development of the site to the development standards of the P-1 Zone unless the developer is able to assure the city of appropriate mitigation of the traffic impacts which are attributable to this proposed development. 2. The Examiner' s reliance upon the "vacancy factor" of other developments in the area is inappropriate in consideration of the timing for this rezone application. 3. Conclusion No. 1 of the Examiner' s Report and Recommendation is in error. The applicant has demonstrated that the proposal is in the public interest and will not impair the public health, safety and welfare, that the appli- cation is in harmony with the purpose and affect of the Comprehensive Plan, all as required by Section 4-3014(c) . The measure of mitigation of the traffic impact of the proposal as proposed by the applicant is satisfactory to protect the transportation system in the general vicinity. 4. Conclusions No. 3 through 7 are erroneous in their reliance upon the vacancy factor" in analysis of the timing of this proposal . The Planning and Development Committee, recommends, based upon the foregoing findings of error, that the City Council reject the recommendation of the Hearing Examiner and approve the requested reclassification of the subject site from G-1 to P-1 subject to the condition that covenants running with the land be recorded which will prohibit the application for a building permit for any use under the P-1 classification unless the proposed LID has been formed and the proposed traffic improvements at the intersection of S.W. 43rd and Talbot Road S. have been completed in such a fashion as to mitigate the traffic impacts of the proposed use of the site, or in the alternative, that the developer has completed the installation of traffic improvements as required by the Environmental Review Committee to mitigate the traffic impacts of the proposed development of the subject property.

MAYOR • LAND USE HEARING EXAMINER 9A Co FRED J. KAUFMAN. 235-25930 SEPS ' P December 16, 1982 Members of the City Council City of Renton Renton, WA 98055 Dear Members: It is apparent that the written decision in the Sparks/Shegrud rezone (file R-063-82) and the One Valley Place Final Planned Unit Development (FPUD-061-82) appear inconsistent. In order to clarify that apparent inconsistency, I have addressed this correspondence to you. The state legislature modified and amended the state statutes affecting subdivisions of land and the Washington Supreme court has interpreted the various stages of the permit process to convey vested rights to development. The "F'ina! Approval" of land use decisions upon which an applicant has had a "Preliminary Approval" then becomes rather perfunctory. The final stage is rather a "formal" review process in which the municipality determines whether or not the applicant has complied with the terms and conditions of its preliminary approval. If the applicant has generally complied, final approval should be given. That was the basis for the decision in the One Valley Place FPUD — the preliminary PUD was approved; the applicant generally complied with that approval and was entitled to final approval. The rezone request is a different matter and was reviewed without such constraints. The traffic considerations were the same but in this case no prior approvals concerning this property created a precedent, mandate, or vested rights to further approvals. Development or potential development without a definite solution to the traffic situation was not indicated by a prior decision of the City. Under the circumstances, the reclassification request was denied. I hope this letter serves to aid you in your deliberations of the matters before you on appeal. Sincerely, 51617/8 Fred J.

Sparks, Grover Shegrud; Michael L. Smith, Consultant RE: Appeal Hearing Examiner Recommendations R-063-82 As consultant acting for Jack B. Sparks and Grover W. Shegrud we hereby appeal the November 15, 1982 recommendation of the Hearing Examiner regarding rezone No. R-063-82. We request that the city council approve the rezone request from G-1 to P-1 subject to the provision of street improvements equal to the impacts of further development of the subject site as determined by the public works department. This can be accomplished by including the site in the proposed LID for street improvements in the general area or by the developer as part of site development. Our appeal is based upon the following errors of fact and law within the Hearing Examiner's recommendation: ERROR #1 The examiner specifically kept the hearing open until October 29, 1982 to receive the input of the city council on the proposed LID for traffic improvements in the area. The hearing for the One Valley Place project (FPUD-061-82) was also kept open for the same purpose. The council agreed with the concept and established that the LID would proceed in some fashion. The examiner chose to ignore this fact in our care. Yet he approved the One Valley Place project noting that the. LID would mitigate traffic impacts (see file no. FPUD-061--82) . He included in that decision a condition, "that a mechanisom whether city initiated LID or otherwise, will provide that the roads in the area are improved to accomodate the projected traffic of the subject development as provided for by the enviromental review committee and agreed to by the applicant prior to issuance of a building permit." The examiner is clearly arbitrary in approving One Valley Place rezone and P.U.D. on the above noted basis while at the same time denying our rezone given the same circumstances. Especially, when the LID improvements are designed to include impacts from development of the subject site, and the site is within the assessment district. ERROR #2 Conclusion #2 of the Examiner's recommendation states that the issue of traffic improvements were ignored. Quite the contrary, the fact is that a large amount of the testimony submitted at the public hearing and at the October 14, 1982 council meeting was devoted to the traffic improvements question. Several Land Use Planning& Feasability • Government Interface • Development 1. Page 2 traffic studies were submitted. The Owner and Developer of the subject site have expressed a willingness to provide their fair share of the traffic improvements to mitigate impacts. The city council has in turn given its guidance to proceed with the LID formulation. The improvements proposed in the LID are designed to include any impacts of the future development of the subject site. Therefore, approval subject to LID or other acceptable cans of installing those improvements is a logical and positive alternative to outright Denial, and will benefit both the city and the property owners. ERROR #3 The hearing examiner failed to realize the fact that if the property cannot be rezoned and developed it receives no benefit from the LID as it is structured. i.e. the subject site was included and assessed on traffic generated by its P-1 zoned potential full development. If development is not permitted it can only be assessed as a single family residence. Appropriate and logical "timing" in this case seems to be more positively directed toward a simultaneous provision of on-site development improvements and traffic improvements reasonably related to those development impacts. The attitute of the examiner in this case will not serve anybody's purpose. In this case the city has the opportunity to make the local hospital community "foot the bill" for improvements needed for the general benefit of this tran portation corridor. Denial of development rights will only serve to defeat such general public benefit efforts. ERROR # 4 The examiner has grossly errored in the timing question, as it relates . to the traffic improvements, on-site development, and the so-called "vacancy" factor in the area. As stated above, the traffic improvements cannot be installed unless the development that is going to pay for them is approved. Unless there are a lot of Federal funding sources the thought of installing road improvements before development does not make logical sense. There has to be a cooperative effort between the city and the area developers/property owners. The other error in the "timing" conclusion #2 is that this is only a rezone request. It is the first step in a long city review, architectrual design, financial planning, marketing, and development process, which will take anywhere from one to two years to complete. However, without it, the remaining steps cannot even begin to proceed. No further planning for the development of the site will proceed unless the first rezone step is approved. The hearing examiner has seriously errored in not understanding such aspects of development timing. The issues he mentions today may not be the same a year or two years from now. The city and the applicant need this critical first step before we can even begin serious discussion on traffic improvements and simultaneous completion of the remaining steps in the complex development process. ERROR #5 The hearing eximaner erroneously used the Chin Hills building as an example of an"oversupply"of medical offices in the area and therefore, was a false reason to deny the rezone on the "timing" issue. The hearing examiner should not invlove t Page 3 himself :in market analysis or in trying to control the private enterpirse sector of our economy to such a degree. Other errors in using a present isolated instance as a comparision to the subject proposal include; a) He noted a present vacancy problem is one particular building at one point in time (the present) . Occupancy of the subject site is a year to two years hence, making speculations of vacancy rates arbitrary at best. b) He also failed to recognize that we are slowly progressing out of the worst economic and building recession in 41 years and that could be a reason for some present short-term vacancies. c) He also did not attain all the facts on the particular Chin Hills project. In fact according to the Gilbo Corporation, the developer of the Chin Hills building, they presently have the building about 1/2 full without even starting a new marketing plan for condominium type office space. They are seeing an upsurge in activity which is clearly contrary to the examiners "speculation." d) As mentioned previously, occupancy of the subject site would be e year or possibly up to two years beyond the present situation. Therefore, trying to "crys Lal ball" present vacancies into "over supply" is very speculative on the examiners part and should not be his concern. In fact, present economic factors indicate the timing of many developments becoming increasingly good. e) The examiner errored in not realizing that the previous rental rate of 21.00 per square foot at Chin Hills was too high for the are, and that was one of the primary factors in its initial slow leasing situation, not an "over supply." f) The examiner errored in understanding that the condominium office concept anticipated for the subject site will require pre-sale of 60-70 percent of its floor area (40,000 sq. ft. 1st phase) prior to the lending institution loan of any monies for its construction, i.e. a built-in safe guard required by the bank to reduce vacancy factors. The "horrors" of "over supply" and "vacancy" were greossly overstated by the examiner. The examiner has erroneously placed himself in the position of determining market acceptance of the future project. g) The examiner errored in using the Falcon Ridge (Cedar Ridge) example on the "over supply" issue. That was a residential development, not a medical- dental office building. The two are entirely different. Secondly, the Falcon Ridge activity is not a reflection of the demand for housing. It is high interest rates which have brought on the worst housing market since the Great Depression. As interest rates cane down, this situation will be resolved, and that development completed. ERROR #6 The examiner also errored in his assumption of the "public interest" in conclusion #1. As stated previously, he errored on his approach to the timeliness issue as it relates to both the traffic improvements and the assumption of the over supply" and vacancy question. The approval of the rezone will not result in a building being constructed overnight. This will take over a year as stated previously. However, if it is built and the necessary reasonable traffic improvements installed concurrently the public interest will be greatly served in the following ways; Page 4 a) Additional health care services will be provided to the citizens of Renton and the surrounding area which are logically and functionally related to a major hospital facility and the existing transportation network. b) The public good is served by increased tax base and revenues to the city which can use that money throughtout the community in improving the lives of its citizens. c) The actual construction and later operation of the new office facility will create jobs within the community. Many people who work in the community live here or may choose in the future to live here. They spend money here which adds to the services the community can provide and results in a "balanced community." d) The city's comprehensive goals and policies relative to employment, balanced community, and development support such "public interest" concepts. e) The traffic safety questions can be resolved through LID or other mechanisom. The horrors of "over supply" are speculative and exaggerated, and are more appropriately a private market function. Sinc ly, 6 11/ '' 61 I Oul J J2 Michael L.

APPLICANT: Jack B. Sparks & Grover W. Shegrud FILE NO. R-063-82 LOCATION: East side of Talbot Road South approximately 625 feet south of S. 43rd Street. SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant seeks a rezone of the subject site from G-1 to P-1 for future development of a medical-dental office complex. SUMMARY OF Building & Zoning Department: Approval with restrictive RECOMMENDATION: covenants . Hearing Examiner: Denial . BUILDING & ZONING The Building & Zoning Department report was received by the DEPARTMENT REPORT: Examiner on October 5, 1982. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Building & Zoning Department report, examining available information on file with the application, and field checking the propety and surrounding area, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows : The hearing was opened on October 12, 1982 at 9:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. Roger Blaylock, Zoning Administrator, presented the Building & Zoning Department report, and entered the following exhibits into the record: Exhibit #1 : Application File containing Building & Zoning Department report and other pertinent documents Exhibit #2: King County Assessor's Map Exhibit #3: Aerial Photograph Exhibit #4: Site Map It was noted by Mr. Blaylock in response to an inquiry by the Examiner that no precise boundary exists on the Comprehensive Plan to the Public/Quasi-Public area surrounding Valley General Hospital . Discussion of the proposed traffic volumes and impacts to the area occurred, and it was stated that although a solution for traffic flow has been agreed upon by the Public Works Department following analyses by several traffic engineers , financial responsibility is unknown at this point; and, in fact, the City Council will be holding a public meeting on October 14, 1982 to review various proposals including formation of an LID. However, Mr. Blaylock restated the departmental recommendation that instead of waiting for formation of an LID or other financial arrangements , required improvements be constructed prior to occupancy. The following modifications to the staff recommendation were provided by Mr. Blaylock: Section M. 1 , add and/or the construction of those improvements prior to occupancy of the development to requirements contained in the restrictive covenants ; and delete Section M.2, regarding proportionate sharing of costs for certain traffic improvements from the recommendation since participation would be dependent upon site design and exact access points proposed by subsequent development. The Examiner requested testimony by the applicant. Responding was: Michael L. Smith Pacific Land Research 1140 140th Avenue N.E. Bellevue, WA 98005 Mr. Smith reviewed his educational and professional background for the record, and introduced other members of the development team in attendance. Expanded development of a health services node in the strategic location of the subject site near Valley General Hospital was described by Mr. Smith, who cited compatibility of the subject site with the Comprehensive Plan designation and other similarly zoned property in the area. He also advised conformance of the proposal to the Comprehensive Plan Map Element and Goals and Policies stated within the written submission of support for the rezone, which will be the last area rezone to serve the hospital . Concurrence in the staff recommendation was indicated, particularly in the deletion of Condition No. 2 which recommends R-063-82 Page Two proportionate sharing of cost for traffic improvements to include lane configuration and signalization, if necessary, at the intersection of Talbot Road S. and S. 45th Place, since the off-site improvements ordinance requires the applicant to improve portions of the roadway along their frontage and provide a transition to existing improvements north of the subject site. All of these specifics will be reviewed at the site approval stage at a later date. Responding to Condition No. 1 , which requires participation in a future LID, Mr. Smith requested that other avenues be established to allow the applicant to proceed with the project, and as an alternative suggested that a fund be created to allow payment by each developer of its fair share as a percentage to traffic load in the area. Responding in support for the applicant was: David Hamlin 1840 130th Avenue N.E. Bellevue, WA 98005 Mr. Hamlin reviewed his educational and professional background as a traffic engineer. He advised that traffic studies performed in the hospital area may have exaggerated the true volumes of traffic, and three elements are present which may support that fact. First, construction of SR-515 will intercept the S. 43rd Street traffic; second, there is a slowing of housing production in the eastern King County area along with a downturn in employment; and third, the potential construction of an interchange at S. 212th and SR-167 will alleviate traffic on S. 43rd Street. In addition, since traffic signals in the subject area are not operated by the computer systm, creation of a very inefficient mode occurs , and approximately 50% of the trips which are already there are interceptive trips or trips coming into the area for more than one purpose. The Examiner questioned whether people would drop into a medical facility such as they would a shopping center. Mr. Hamlin felt that existence of other facilities such as banks and restaurants create an opportunity for interceptive trips. Addressing the subject of peak traffic, Mr. Hamlin advised that medical facilities do not have the same peaking operation with a rush of employees coming at specific times in the morning and afternoon. He also discussed proposed trip rates for the project based upon field observations from the medical clinic located directly across the street from the subject site, noting that as a result of these counts a determination has been made that no significant increase in traffic volumes will occur on S. 43rd Street during peak hours as a result of the proposal . Mr. Smith submitted a copy of Mr. Hamlin's traffic report to the Examiner. Responding to Mr. Blaylock's addition of the recommendation for construction of the off-site improvements prior to occupancy, Mr. Smith indicated concern that construction of the project may be delayed due to this requirement, and that some leeway should be provided in that regard. There was no response to the Examiner's request for further comments in support or opposition to the proposal . Responding with general testimony was: Gary Norris, Traffic Engineer City of Renton Mr. Norris submitted a copy of the proposed LID which was presented to the City Council for consideration, and proposed as the subject of a public meeting to be held on October 14, 1982. The document was entered into the record as follows: Exhibit #5: Proposed LID on S.W. 43rd Street Discussion of the document occurred, with proposed assessments for the hospital and other projects in the area noted as well as extent of proposed improvements anticipated by the LID, if approved. Mr. Norris advised that individual improvements include widening of S. 43rd Street from existing five lanes to a seven lane section from Talbot Road to SR- 167, widening the north leg of Talbot Road to five lanes to include a right turn lane, new controllers provided at Talbot Rcad and S. 43rd Street to be compatible with other controllers to be installed in that corridor, alignment of the hospital access with Davis Avenue S. , and installation of a signal at that location to be funded by the One Valley Place development. Mr. Norris indicated anticipation that a representative of the Seattle/King County Commuter Pool could discuss mitigating measures ; however, due to a conflict, a representative could not attend. Instead, Mr. Norris requested approval of submission of a letter to the record. The Examiner noted that he would consider the request. Responding to Mr. Hamlin 's traffic report, specifically the question of exaggerated traffic growth at the S. 43rd Street corridor, Mr. Norris stated the difficulty in predicting future traffic generation until the development is actually constructed. However, factors such as lifting of prohibition of development in King County upon improvement of Petrovisky Road to five lanes along with anticipated 3% area-wide growth R-063-82 Page Three in traffic per year on key arterials will produce an increase of traffic and some pent up demand. It is possible that construction of SR-515 and S. 212th may reduce traffic on S. 43rd Street; however, it was Mr. Norris ' opinion that such a decrease would not occur. Regarding capacity of the computer to control the traffic signalization in the area, Mr. Norris advised that the new computer does have appropriate capacity which should improve efficiency in the area in the future, and responding to discussion regarding interactive trips , he indicated his opinion that people will be coming into the area for a specific medical appointment which cannot be compared with trips to a shopping center. Mr. Norris concluded by stating that 24,000 additional traffic trips are being generated in the area along the S. 43rd Street corridor, and an increased demand is being placed on access points on side streets which is detracting from the ability of S. 43rd Street to serve through traffic. Responding to the Examiner's request for general testimony was : Victor Bishop President, Transportation Planning and Engineering, Inc. 1126 108th Avenue N.E. Bellevue, WA 98004 Mr. Bishop, traffic engineer representing Valley General Hospital , submitted a traffic study accomplished by his firm into the record: Exhibit #6: Valley General Hospital Traffic Circulation Study He noted that although the hospital takes no position on the subject rezone, it believes that improvements are required on S. 43rd Street as a result of additional traffic trips in the corridor. Discussing the LID document, he described the assessment to participants , particularly No. 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7, and advised his opinion that traffic projections average out in general to be at a figure which is not exaggerated as stated by Mr. Hamlin. The Examiner requested further testimony. Since there was no response, he stated his intention to hold the record of the public hearing open until October 29, 1982 at 5:00 p.m. to allow the City Council the opportunity to make its major policy decision regarding formation of an LID in the area and allow the commuter pool to submit written data. Dependent upon the outcome of the City Council decision, the hearing may or may not be reopened. The hearing was subsequently closed at 10:25 a.m. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicants, Jack B. Sparks and Grover W. Shegrud, filed a request for approval of a reclassification of approximately 4.6 acres from G-1 (general single family resi- dential , minimum lot size, 35,000 square feet) to P-1 (public/quasi-public). 2. The application file containing the application, SEPA documentation, the Building and Zoning Department report, and other pertinent documents was entered into the record as Exhibit #1. 3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental Policy Act of 1972, RCW 43.21C, as amended, a Declaration of Non-significance has been issued for the subject proposal by the Environmental Review Committee (ERC), responsible official . 4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the impact of this development. 5. The subject property is located south of South 43rd Street on the east side of Talbot Road South. 6. The subject property was annexed into the city by Ordinance 3268 in December of 1978, at which time the property was classified G-1. 7. The area in which the subject property is located is situated on the edge of an area designated by the Comprehensive Plan for public and quasi-public uses. The site is in a location closely associated with a multi-family use designation. The eastern steeply sloped area is designated for open space and greenbelt uses. 8. The subject site is relatively level at its westerly end, although steep slopes exist along the easterly portion of the site. R-063-82 Page Four 9. The predominant vegetation on the site consists of scrub brush and blackberries. There are some Douglas fir and alder trees on the site. 10. An existing single family dwelling on the site will be removed, if the rezone and development proceeds. 11. An attorney's office is located west of the site, while medically allied uses are located north and west of the site. The Gateway Apartments are generally located west of the site, and the proposed One Valley Place complex is located northwest of the site. 12. The site is part of a G-1 district which extends east and south from the subject site. North of the subject site is an R-3 (medium density, multi-family residen- tial ) district. The Gateway Apartments are located partially in an R-3 district southwest of the subject site. West and northwest of the subject site is a P-1 district, the category of zoning requested for the subject site. An R-2 (duplex residential ) district is located southwest of the subject site and contains the southern portion of the Gateway Apartments. The Valley General Hospital is located in a P-1 zone to the northwest. 13. The Chin Hills medical office complex is located north of the hospital . The record indicates that the clinic is largely vacant. 14. The traffic generated by the existing uses and pending uses necessitates additional road and intersection improvements for Talbot, South 43rd, Davis Avenue South, and the SR-167 exit. Traffic reports were prepared by the applicant, the Valley General Hospital , and One Valley Place and were critiqued and analyzed by the city's Traffic Engineer. The City Council has authorized the formation of an LID, but actual formation will depend upon an agreement of property owners situated adjacent to or near the inter- sections of Talbot Road South and South 43rd Street and South 43rd Street and Davis Avenue South. The list of ownerships which might potentially be affected by the formation of an LID is included in Exhibit #5. Additional information regarding the proposed improvements to the roadways is also included in that exhibit. 15. The applicant proposes constructing approximately 80,000 square feet of medical office buildings on the subject site. 16. The traffic generated by, or more correctly, attracted to the subject proposal will be between 3,200 trips per day and 8,000 trips per day. The former number, 3,200 trips per day is considered more realistic. The peak hours trips, that is during the a.m. and p.m. rush hours, would each be approximately 10% of that number with the p.m. peak slightly higher. 17. The record indicates that the assumptions and forecasts have generally relied upon the ITE trip manual . The ITE figures reflect both interactive and intercepted trips and are correlated to similar facilities. The figures are not based upon isolated medical facilities but reflect situations similar to the type of complex occurring in the vicinity of the hospital . Medical centers are not "drop-in - interactive" uses. 18. While some improvements in the area, such as SR-515 and a possible South 212th interchange may divert traffic from the crucial Talbot/43rd intersection. Other improvements such as the widening of Petrovitsky Road could increase traffic in the area. The County has put on hold most developments in the Petrovitsky corridor pending widening of that roadway. Pent-up demand in this area could be released upon its widening. In addition, SR-515 does not connect to the Valley floor. Such traffic destined for the Valley floor contributes a significant load to the South 43rd Street and Talbot Road intersection, and such traffic gives the intersection its subregional signifi- cance. South 43rd Street provides the only means of access to the Valley floor and areas west since SR-167, a limited access highway, prevents westerly traffic flow. 19. The current level of service (LOS) is calculated for South 43rd and Talbot to be C/D. The operation or inefficient operation of the traffic signal at the intersec- tion has no bearing on the LOS, as the LOS is predicated upon numbers of vehicles not the functioning of the intersection's signal . The level of service without improvements proposed for the LID would be F with only the One Valley Place, the Gateway Apartments, and the hospital expansion development. This projected level of service does not consider the subject proposal . The LOS for South 43rd and Davis again without improvements would be E, and similarly the LOS of South 43rd and SR-167 would also be E. The One Valley Place will add approximately 6,800 new trips, while the hospital will generate approximately 7,000 trips. R-063-82 Page Six Hills facility were to become fully occupied, it would add its own traffic to the local ! treets and the critical 43rd and Talbot intersection. 4. The One Valley Place project, for which Council approval was received, will also increase the supply of such facilities in this area. The first phase alone will add almost 40,000 square feet of professional office space. 5. It is riot always in the best interest of the city to have an over supply of a particu- lar type of space. Failure to meet an existing market could force vacancies or aban- donmen':: of an ill-timed economic development. Such was the case for Falcon Ridge Cedar Ridge) . Vacant buildings lead to vandalism, which reflects poorly on the city' s image. Such buildings also demand greater provision of police and fire protection. 6. The Policy Element of the Comprehensive Plan states that commercial zoning should only be permitted to the extent of short term needs. While the site is the "last area" designated for public and quasi-public uses currently available, the supply of land already suitably zoned for such uses, together with the projects on those parcels now pending, One Valley Place, Professional Building Associates, with approximately 40,000 square feet, north of the intersection, the relatively empty Chin Hills clinic indicate that coupled with a traffic situation which is not solved by a potential LID is premature. The commercial policies go on to indicate that "to minimize traffic congestion, com- mercial areas should not be located near facilities that require a high degree of safety and traffic control . " The existing development in the area requires the implementation of a highly refined traffic plan. More development now will only lead to a worsening of the traffic in the area adversely affecting not only the Hospital but also the other existing uses in the area, as well as the off-ramp from a state highway, SR-167. Again, once traffic improvements for the area are programmed and implementation assurEd, the request could be reconsidered. At this time the reclassification is premature, and approval would encourage development of the parcel and add to an alreacy difficult transportation problem. 7. Therefore, as indicated in the analysis above, the City Council should deny the request to reclassify the subject site. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council should deny the request to reclassify the subject site from G-1 to P-1. ORDERI::D THIS 15th day of November, 1982. Fred J .

Warren, City Attorney Renton Record-Chronicle R-063-B4 Page Five 20. The LOS projections are of major concern to the hospital which provides not only general care and treatment but also emergency care. That is why the hospital commissioned its own traffic study. 21. The area south of the subject site is still relatively rural . The predominant uses south and east of the site are large undeveloped parcels or scattered single family homes on larger lots. 22. The proposed medical center would have parking to accommodate approximately 400 vehicles. 23. The proposed use does not limit the applicant to any particular development. The size of the parcel and the proposed zoning could possibly permit a larger complex depending upon the suitability of the east slope area for development. The city staff has recom- mended that the slope areas remain free of development to comply with the Comprehen- sive Plan designation of greenbelt for the eastern portions of the subject property. The recommendation did not specifically define the limits of development. 24. Access to the site would be via Talbot Road South in the vicinity of the intersection of South 45th Place. The northern property line of the subject site is generally south of South 45th Place creating a potentially non-standard intersection. CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest and will not impair the public health, safety and welfare. In addition, the rezone must comply with at least one of the three criteria listed in Section 4-3014, which provides in part that: a. The subject site has not been considered in a previous area rezone or land use analysis; or b. The subject site is potentially designated for the new classification per the Comprehensive Plan; or c. There has been material and substantial change in the circumstances in the area in which the subject site is located since the last rezoning of the property or area. The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposal is in the public interest. The proposal is untimely in two ways: The roads in the area are already taxed beyond capacity; and there are sufficient properties already zoned for these uses, and over- supply is already leading to vacancies. 2. The ability of the current road system to reasonably accommodate the current auto- mobile traffic, while already poor, is more or less irrelevant, as traffic in the area is expected to increase further placing more strain on the system and further degrading the level of service. The expansion of Valley General Hospital , the completion of the 325 unit Gateway Apartments, the proposed One Valley Place professional office planned unit develop- ment, as well as residential growth south and east of the subject area, industrial and commercial growth in the Green River Valley west of the area, and general back- ground growth, anticipated to be at least 3% per year, are all contributing to the overall decrease in the level of service. While an LID has been proposed for the area, it is too early to determine if it, in fact, will be formed. Further, a time frame for improvements has not yet been determined. These issues cannot be ignored solely because a map indicates that the area is suitable for public and quasi-public uses. The map only designates general areas and potential suitability. In some cases water, sewer, or both must be extended to any area. In other cases, such as the current application, roads must be improved before further development should be allowed to further exacerbate an already critical situation. 3. While the area is "the last" area near the hospital upon which the city conveyed the potential for the establishment of public and quasi-public uses through adoption of its Comprehensive Plan, that alone does not indicate that the request is timely. Other factors must be analyzed. Again, the road situation is of critical importance but also to be considered is the general availability of P-1 land and the vacancies in the Chin Hills Building just north of the hospital . The Chin Hills Building is a basis of analysis for two reasons. First, its vacancy rate would appear to indicate an oversupply of similar facilities at this time, and therefore demonstrate that the request is premature and, second, if the Chin R-063-82 Page Seven Pursuant to Title IV, Section 3015 of the City's Code, request for reconsideration must be filed in writing on or before November 29, 1982. Any aggrieved person feeling that the decision of the Examiner is based on erroneous procedure, errors of law or fact, error in ;udgment, or the discovery of new evidence which could not be reasonably available at the prior hearing may make a written request for review by the Examiner within fourteen (14) days from the date of the Examiner' s decision. This request shall set forth the specific errors relied upon by such appellant, and the Examiner may, after review of the record, take further action as he deems proper.

City of Renton Traffic Engineer Commuter Pool has reviewed the One Valley Place SupplementalTrafficKingCounty Study and Valley General Hospital Traffic Circulation Study. We Director of Public Works would like to provide you with comments about the types ofactionsCityofKirkland Manager of we believe need to be taken by the City and the project sponsor to Transit Development minimize the adverse impacts of substantial employment growth in an Metro already congested traffic corridor. Transportation Engineer City of Bellevue In general, we maintain that as much effort should be put into reducing Traffic Engineer the additional traffic to be generated by the project as will go City of Seattle into accommodating it with street widenings and signalization in the immediate vicinity. The prospect of doubling the daily traffic volume to the Valley General area has implications for SR167, SR515, Petrovitsky Road and the South Renton community. A concerted transportation management program which included Valley General Hospital and One Valley Place could achieve a 15% reduction in employee generated work trips. Health care facilities due to their scheduling present unique problems and opportunities for increased ridesharing and transit usage. Experience in other areas shows however, that reductions of this magnitude can be achieved under the right conditions. In order to create the conditions for reducing traffic growth, . the City should act to keep the supply of parking down and insure that the allocation of that supply gives preferential treatment to carpools and vanpools. Abundant supplies of free employee parking encourages and subsidizes employees to drive alone to work. EIdeally, the project sponsor should prepare a transportation plan in l conjunction with Valley General Hospital which establishes and coordinates ridesharing incentives such as employee vanpools, ride- ENERGY EFFICIENCY AWARD ems f m for Energy E, matching service, and subsidies to employees who commute by any means Ffogother than the single occupant vehicle.

The need for these improvements has arisen as a result of the extensive commercial and multi -family development adjacent to Valley General Hospital . Proposed develop- ment las been forecasted to add approximately 24,000 daily trips to a street which already carries 30,000+ vehicle trips per day. Consequently, an impact will develop which exacerbates the capacity along the South 43rd Street corridor and promotes congestion which is unacceptable to the City. Therefore, expansion of the existing facilities is being considered . The proposed LID will include the following roadway improvements : 1 . Widening of South 43rd Street to seven (7) lanes from the Valley Freeway to Talbot Road South (three lanes in each direction with left turn pockets at the intersections) . 2. Widening on the north leg of Talbot Road South at South 43rd to provide a right turn pocket. 3. Channelization modifications on the north and south legs of Talbot Road South at South 43rd Street. 4. Traffic signal modifications at Talbot Road South and South 43rd Street. 5. Widening of the Valley Freeway northbound on/off ramps. Addi .. ionally, traffic- signals will be installed at the on/off ramps and at Davie Ave. (hospital entrance) and South 43rd. These traffic signals are not inclided in the costs of the LID. The estimated cost of these improvements Impacted Property Owners Page :? October 1 , 1982 prior to any detailed design work is approximately $500,000. The proposed impro•iements and cost estimate are shown in Attachment A. The Public Works Department has presented a proposal for an appropriate LID assessment to the City Council for approval . The proposal calls for all new developments to be assessed a "fair share" of the project costs based upon anticipated traffic to be generated from the proposed development. The assessment amount being considered for each property and a listing of 'the affected properties is presented in Attachment B. Since the proposed LID will be formed by City Council resolution, the Council has requested that a public hearing be held on Thursday, October 14, 1982, at 8:00 p.m. in the Renton City Council Chambers on the second floor of the Municipal Building, 200 Mill Avenue South, Renton, Washington, to allow interested parties to comment. If you have any comments regarding the proposal , please come to the public hearing. If you have any questions regarding the project, please contact Gary Norris (235-2620) or Bob Bergstrom (235-2631 ) . Thank you.

The slippage potential is moderate. This soil is used mostly for timber. Some areas on the lower parts of slopes are used for pasture. 3 . Vegetation: Scrub brush and blackberries are the principal features with some Douglas Fir and alder trees also present. 4 . Wildlife: The existing vegetation provides some habitat for birds and small mammals . 5. Water: No surface water was observed on the subject site (September 29 , 1982) . 6. Land Use : A single family dwelling presently occupies the subject site. Adjacent on the west is an attorney' s office, while a convalescent center and other medical uses are located to the north. E. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS: The surrounding properties are a combination of professional and medical office uses together with some scattered single family dwellings and undeveloped tracts of land.

IMPACT ON THE NATURAL OR HUMAN ENVIRONMENT: 1 . Natural Systems : Rezoning the property will not directly affect the subject site. However, future development will remove the vegetation, disturb the soils , increase storm water runoff, and heave an affect on traffic and noise levels in the area. Through proper development controls and procedures , however, these impacts can be mitigated. 2 . Population/Employment : Additional employment opportunities will likely be available with future development. 3. Schools : Not applicable. 4 . Social: Future development of the subject site will provide increased opportunities for social interaction among the employees of the complex. 5. Traffic: The rezone will not generate traffic ; however, the subsequent maximum development of approximately 80,000 square feet of medical office will generate between 3,200 and 8,000 vehicle trips ITE) . The norm for the existing medical is closer to 40 trips per 1 ,000 square feet. J. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD DETERMINATION: Pursuant to the City of Renton ' s Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental Policy Act of 1971, as amended, RCW 43-21C, a final declaration of n on-significance was issued for the subject proposal by the Environmental Review Committee on September 13 , 1982. K. AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTS CONTACTED: 1 . City of Renton Building & Zoning Department. 2 . City of Renton Design Engineering Division. 3. City of Renton Traffic Engineering Division. 4 . City of Renton Utilities Engineering Division. 5. City of Renton Fire Prevention Bureau. 6. City of Renton Parks & Recreation Department. 7. City of Renton Policy Development Department. L. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS: 1 . The proposed rezone can be considered generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The subject site is in an area which is along the southern boarder of the designated Public/Quasi-Public use area surrounding Valley General Hospital (Section 4-3414 (C) (1 ) (b) . 2. No areawide rezone has occurred in the vicinity with the exception of the adoption of the Southeast Comprehensive Plan in January, 1980. 3 . The rezone from G-1 to P-1 is sought to allow the ultimate construction of medical office buildings to support the function of Valley General Hospital. Maximum development is theorized at 80,000 square feet. Site plan approval will be required at the time of construction. PRELIMINARY REPORT mn THE HEARING EXAMINER JACK B. SPARKS & Gl W. SHEGRUD: R-063-82 OCTOBER 12, 1982 AGE FOUR 4 . This is the last parcel of medical support facilities anticipated around Valley General Hospital to be rezoned. The property to the north of the hospital was rezoned prior to 1975 , in a P-1 classification, while the property south of the hospital and immediately west of the subject site was rezoned in August of 1981 , from G to P-1 by Ordinance #3569 . The property immediately north of the subject site was rezoned in 1968, to R-3 which required separate special permits to be filed on the subsequent medical uses . These factors together with the applicant ' s letter of justification would suggest that the rezone is appropriate (Section 4-3014 (C) (1 ) (c) . 5. The Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies adopted in 1981 , support the coordination of health care facilities in this generalized area. Construction of independent, private medical facilities surrounding a primary care hospital must be closely coordinated in relationship to the immediate area and the general subregion surrounding it. In this specific case, the primary issue centers upon the street circulation system. Traffic analysis prepared by Valley General Hospital and the developers of One Valley Place suggests that major improvements will be necessary to S.W. 43rd Street to handle the anticipated increases from the construction of medical facilities in the immediate vicinity of Valley General Hospital. In these calculations , some consideration has been given to increased traffic volumes resulting from development in King County. However, the final traffic pattern is dependent upon general modifications outside of the immediate area. The applicant ' s engineer has stated that the rezone request and the subsequent development will not demand a substantial modifications to the 43rd Street corridor as anticipated by the other two traffic engineers. The final resolution of necessary traffic improvements is technically based upon the policy decisions on whether to rezone the property or not , or increase the intensity of medical facilities in the general area. Whatever the resolution of the technical problem is , the property owner should be required to participate in those physical improvements through formation of an L. I .D. to improve S.W. 1 43rd Street. 6. Both the Public Works and Police Departments state that off-site public improvements will be necessary to Talbot Road South. The specific access location for the subject site should be coordinated in respect to the access for One Valley Place and the Gateway Apartments. It appears that a proper fourway inter- section could be created and the necessary improvements made. These improvements are a technical issue and should be specifically reviewed at the time of the site plan approval. However, the Examiner in approving the Preliminary and Final P.U.D. for One Talbot Place (Gateway Apartments) , required that the developer make all improvements including lane modifications and signalization at the inter- section of Talbot Road South and South 45th Place. PRELIMINARY REPORT TO THE HEARING EXAMINER JACK B. SPARR GROVER W. SHEGRUD: R-06: 2 OCTOBER 12, 1 PAGE FIVE The rezoning and development of the subject parcel lying east of Talbot Road South will modify the traffic impacts at the intersection of Talbot Road South and South 45th Place. Estimating the anticipated traffic volumes from the medical facility, . it would be appropriate to make those improvements proportionate with the intensity of each of the developments. Estimating that the 80,000 square feet of medical office will generate approximately 3200 vehicle trips per day, the proportionate traffic impacts would be approximately 65% of the total compared to the traffic volume of One Talbot Place. 7. The Public Works Department advises that the appropriate public improvements and special assessments will be required, per attached comments, at the time of construction. Therefore, these issues should be considered as site plan approval comments. 8. The Building Division of the Building and Zoning Department suggests that the development should be limited to the westerly portion of the site, specifically because the easterly portion is steep and should be left in greenbelt. The Comprehensive Plan suggests that the entire parcel is boarderline in respect to Public/Quasi-Public usage. The eastern property line appears to be approximately where the greenbelt designation would start and extend to the east of the steeply sloped property. The topography to the east would preclude any further commercial or office development and separate the residential developments anticipated on the upper plateau. It may be possible to functionally design retaining walls and utilize much of this eastern property or develop the site on several levels. 9.' The Policy Development Department specifically questions the timeliness of the proposed rezone. Again, the focal point of whether the project is timely or not is related to the available traffic capacity and the traffic volumes in the area. The recent expansion of Valley General Hospital and the anticipated expansions within the next five years will prompt immediate development of adjoining private medical office buildings. The exact market is unknown, at this time, but it should be pointed out that Valley General Hospital is a major subregional hospital of the Puget Sound Area and actually services the cities of Renton, Kent, Auburn, Tukwila and the outlying unincorporated areas. However, the adjacent private improvements should only be allowed if they can be functionally coordinated with the hospital. It has been technically determined by the Public Works Department that this coordination, through the traffic circulation system, can only be accomplished if the specific improvements to S.W. 43rd Street are done at one time. 10. Department comments are attached for your review. PRELIMINARY REPORT ""' THE HEARING EXAMINER JACK B. SPARKS & GI ;R W. SHEGRUD: R-063-82 OCTOBER 12, 1982 PAGE SIX M.

Planning Dept. 1-77 CITY OF RENTON Justification for Rezone Li lJ ` f From G to P-l; U D Sparks/Shegrud Property, Renton AUG 1 9 1982 The fo:.lowing text provides additional justification for the proposed rezone request as it relates to the compatibility with existing uses, zoning, and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Policies Element. The discussion also emphasizes the changes that have and are continuing to occur in the area which support the appropriateness and timeliness of the rezone request. These changes relate to boat public utility and service improvements, hospital expansion, compatible private! development, and demographic and housing trends for the general area. It should also be emphasized that the Valley General Hospital and its surrounding support uses are not only important to the Southeast Renton area, but equally serve the entire City of Renton, Kent, and South King County. This introduces an expended regional context and importance to this area and the subject request. 1. The subject site has been zoned G since it was annexed into the City of Renton on 12/4/78 (Ord. #3268) . The last Comprehensive Plan amendment for the Southeast Renton Planning area was enacted in January, 1980 (Ord. #3381) . The subject site and surrounding area were designated at that time for Public / Quasi-Public uses which correspond to the P-1 zone classificiation. The existing G zone, therefore, pre-dates the last Comprehensive Plan. The City of Renton does not generally include area-wide zoning reclassification as part of its Comprehensive Plan process. Therefore, actual zoning of the site was not specifically considered at that time. Rather, it is generally the City's policy to review rezone requests on a case by case basis subsequent to and in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. 2 The subject site is potentially zoned for the proposed reclassification to P-1 given the corresponding land use designation of Public/Quasi- Public on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The proposed reclassification is also consistent with other Comprehensive Plan and policy requirements discussed in more detail later in this text. The subject request is compatible with existing and planned development in the area, and immediately adjacent to the site. This includes the existing Valley Villa Convalescent Center and other medical offices to the north, the existing legal services office adjacent to the northwest corner of the site, existing medical offices west and northwest of the site, and planned offices and multiple family uses west and southwest of the site. The zoning pattern and uses around the site support the P-1 zone request. Some of these existing health care and professional uses were developed in the County or under previous planning policy which applied multiple family zones for such uses. This is the reason for the existence of same zoning other than P-1 for same existing health care and professional uses. Since that time the Public/Quasi- Public area of the Comprehensive Plan has been expanded and P-1 zoning utilized for such uses. This expansion extended the potential P-1 zone (health care) area further south to a point about 1,000 feet south of S.W. 43rd Street, which includes the subject site. 3 . The site is within an area of the city which has experienced steady growth. A majority of this growth and development has been related to medical-dental facilities which function as supportive uses for the Valley General Hospital. Them uses have located near the hospital for the locational conveniences of easy access to this major health care facility and the surrounding population/employment base. The hospital itself has experienced expansion over the years. The most recent major expansion under construction at the present time is an addition to the south end of the hospital. This expansion adds approximately 111,000 square feet to the hospital and includes additional patient capacity as well as improved departmental facilities. This newest hospital expansion program will stimulate a reciprocal expansion of the medical/dental/professional office support uses in the general V Page T,ao area. This general public and private expansion of medical, health care, and professional facilities indicates a continuing need for suitably zoned and developable area for such uses and helps justify the timliness of the subject rezone request. 4. The site is also in close proximity to the Valley Industrial area which will-continue to expand and create a demand for the hospital area to serve health care and professional needs of the Valley employment base. 5. The same growth and expansion of the surrounding residential areas that necessitated the hospital expansion has a similar affect on the demand for support health and professional services. The southeast Renton area, northeast Kent, and the Soos Creek planning area of King County have eperienced a large amount of residential growth in recent years, and will continue to be a desireable and convenient place to live for many who are employed in the valley area. This continued residential growth, therefore, requires additional growth in health services to ensure adequate public health, and supports the timeliness of the subject request. 6. The subject site and area has convenient access to the Valley Freeway and to S.W. 43rd St., which is presently being improved to 5 lanes. East Valley Road will also be improved by L.I.D. 324. SR 515 and its intersection with the Carr/Petrovitsky/S.W. 43rd St. corridor is also presently undergoing significant improvement. These new improvements combined with the present adequate condition of the S.W. 43rd and Talbot Read intersection will assist overall traffic and circulation in the area. This increases the ability for further expansion of the hospital-support care area in which the subject site is located. 7.. Street improvements have been extended along Talbot Road to a point near the north boundary of the subject site. Development of the site together with other planned developments along the west side of Talbot Road (i.e. One Valley Place and Ventura Partnership) will extend such improvements together with adequate utilities in a logical progression from North to South. A 12" water main, 8" sanitary sewer, and storm drainage facilities are presently located near the north boundary of the subject site. Power, gas, and telephone utilities are also available to the site. This provides compatibility with the Land Development Objective (#3.A) of the Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies Element. This Objective states that "growth and development should occur in a timely and logical progression of the existing urban area to maximize the use of existing services." The subject request is also compatible with Policy #1.A.1 which states that "adequate transportation and utilities necessary to service new development should be available or provided in conjunction with actual development." Policy #3.A.4 also states that "land where adequate public utilities are available should be given priority for development." 8. As previously depicted in the discussion of the Valley General Hospital Expansion and related health services growth, the subject site and area is within a transitional land use phase from older rural-type residential uses to health services and higher density residential . Recent activity includes One Valley Place medical-professional office complex located west of the subject site and the Ventura Partnership multiple family residential P.U.D. (approximately 325 dwelling units) located southwest of the subject site. Other existing clinic and professional office uses have been constructed from S.W. 43rd St. to the subject site along both sides of Talbot Road. These include the Springbrook Medical Center, Valley Villa Convalescent Center and the attorney's office around which the site is situated. All of these uses are on the same side of Talbot Road and extend the same distance eastward as the subject site. The same is true of the west side of Talbot Road where existing development extends to the Dermatology Clinic across Talbot Road from the subject site. The subject site is the next logical progression for this transitional development process. This is consistent with policy #3.B.4 which states that Page Throe transitional areas should be converted from one use to another as soon as possible, with new uses designed to be compatible with existing uses of the district." Clinics and professional offices are the predominant uses in the general area and adjacent to the subject site. The subject request is also consistent with policy #3.A.3 which states that "vacant land surrounded by developed land should be given priority for development." Because of the more linear progression of the development southward fitxn the north along Talbot Road, and the hillside greenbelt to the east, it is difficult for the site to be completely surrounded by development. But it is clearly in the development path with existing developed uses north, west, and northwest of the subject site. Puget Power owns the property directly south of the subject site. This might possibly be for a future power substation facility, thereby establishing the furthest extent southward of the P-1 zone. Beyond this point the comprehensive land use plan indicates a band of low density multiple family use as a buffer between medical office area and the single family area to the south. 9. The general area around the Valley General Hospital has, as can be seen by the previous discussion, become its own unique sub-area or district. It performs a very necessary function in the overall goal of providing a "balanced community." Boundaries have been established within the comprehensive plan that is hoped will be sufficient to handle additional future needs for health care facilities functionally located near the hospital facility. Because of this unique established character or district association, the district objectives and policies should apply. The subject rezone request as the initial step in the development process for a health care related facility, supports such objective and policies especially policy 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6. These are related to enhancing and maintaining functionally and architecturally compatible land uses within the hospital and related health care area. 10. The subject request is compatible with the general purposes of the Canprehensive Plan outlined in the purpose section of the Goals and Policies Element. The rezone and ultimate development of the site is an orderly planned progression of development, and will assist in providing proper health care facilities in a convenient functional location for present and future citizens of Renton. This promotes the overriding consideration of public safety, welfare, and interest within a development context that is compatible with the surrounding uses, zoning, and planning. The ultimate development of the site will help facilitate the comprehensive land use plan for the area as well as the utilities and street plans. The proposal satisfies both short and long range considerations of the planning and development process by its proximity to existing utilities, transportation, other urban services, and the health care activity node, and its longer range servicing of the continued growing health care needs of the region. Because of the additional detailed review of any development proposal in the P-1 zone through the site plan approval and building permit processes, the opportunities for professional and technical knowledge in the decision making process encouraged by the Comprehensive Plan are realized. 6 2 t•411 ...../_.,....01.1.•••—• 7. 8 X.. 44S16%,,,.

PROPOSED, date: FINAL, date: Declaration of Significance Declaration of Significance Declaration of Non-Significance Declaration of Non-Significance COMMENTS : Introduction The State Environmental Policy Act of 1971, Chapter 43.21C, RCW, requires all state and local governmental agencies to consider environmental values both for their own actions and when licensing private proposals . The Act also requires that an EIS be prepared for all major actions significantly affecting the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to help the agencies involved determine whether or not a proposal is such a major action. Please answer the following questions as completely as you can with the information presently available to you. Where explanations of your answers are required, or where you believe an explanation would be helpful to government decision makers , include your explanation in the space provided, or use additional pages if necessary. You should include references to any reports or studies of which you are aware and which are rele- vant to the answers you provide. Complete answers to these questions now will help all agencies involved with your proposal to undertake the required environmental review with- out unnecessary delay. The following questions apply to your total proposal , not just to the license for which you are currently applying or the proposal for which approval is sought. Your answers should include the impacts which will be caused by your proposal when it is completed, even though completion may not occur until sometime in the future. This will allow all of the agencies which will be involved to complete their environmental review now, with- out duplicating paperwork in the future.

Proponent: igned chael L. Smith Y>gsgiA j ted) Pacific Land Research City of Renton Planning Department 5-76 1 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST SUPPLEMENTAL ATTACHMENT SPARKS-SHEGRUD REZONE FROM G to P-1 I (6) The subject site also wraps around the east and south site of an existing professional office building. It has approximately 180 feet of frontage along the east side of Talbot Road South, and extends easterly approximately 631 ± feet. It is approximately 362 ± feet in width (north-south) accept for the westerly 150 ± feet where it is 181 ± feet in width. The subject rezone would permit further planning and design work for a planned medical-health care services office complex, compatible with other surrounding uses, existing level of city services, and the comprehensive Plan for the area. The property has been purchased for the intended purpose, and will be developed per the laws and ordinances of the City of Renton in compatible architectural style to other surrounding health care/office uses. Subsequent to rezone approval, the P-1 zone requires Hearing Examiner approval of the proposed site plan. Additional City review of the detailed development plans will be required at the time of the building permit process. I (7) Phe site extends southward approximately 362 ± feet to a point which is 987 ± feet south of S.W. 43rd Street. The site is directly adjacent to the Valley Villa Convalescent Center on the north. An existing legal services office is located adjacent to the northwesterly portion of the site. The Valley Dermatology Clinic and the proposed South 45th Place right of way is directly west of the site along the westerly side of Talbot Road South. (More detailed land use description is available in #II-(8) below) . The surrounding area is in general a transition fran large lot residential to health services, with some higher density multiple family uses planned to the southwest. The site is relatively level except in the easterly portion. It has been previously logged many years ago leaving the easterly half of the site in nixed deciduous trees. The westerly half of the site has been recently cleared in certain areas where brush and smaller mixed deciduous trees have been reestablished. The area further south of the site has been partially cleared for large lot single family uses. (See attached site plan and aerial photo for further illustration of existing setting) . II(8) Earth The rezone itself is an administrative and legislative action and will not by itself create any environmental impacts. However, ultimate development of the site as a planned medical health services complex will cause some impacts relative to the soil and existing topography of the site. The majority of the site is relatively gentle (8±% on the westerly 560 ± feet) . The remaining easterly 85 ± feet is approximately 30% slope. Specifically with regard to the soil and ground structure certain disruptions, canpaction, and overcovering of soils, as well as some changes in topography are anticipated as part of the above mentioned development. Given the stable soils on the site and its relatively level slope these impacts are not considered signif idant and will be the minimum necessary to adequately construct the future structures and improvements. The soils consist of Aldervx od Gravelly Sandy Loan (AgC) , with AgD at the extreme easterly portion of the site, according to King County Soil survey information of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service. The AgC soil is excellent for urban-type development. The relatively level slope will also minimize the amount of on and off-site erosion that may occur during site development. City requirements for temporary erosion control measures will be utilized during construction to further mitigate associated impacts. The surrounding and adjacent land will also be protected by suitable site planning and Page Two construction techniques consistent with city requirements. The extreme easterly portion of the site with its AgD soil and steeper slope will require additional erosion control and construction practices including daylight basement type construction possibly utilized for parking purposes, some rock wall work, or other methods typically used for such conditions. Utilizing such sound engineering methods together with suitable temporary erosion control methods will help control such impacts. II(2) Air Ultimate development of the site will cauce a certain amount of air emissions xi a temporary basis during construction and more permanently fran additional vehicular traffic. The temporary construction emission are primarily dust and engine emissions created by construction equipment. The vehicular emmmisions include carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxide. Much of the central Puget Sound Region was designated through the 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments as a non-attainment area for primary standards of carbon monoxide and ozone, however, the ultimate development on the subject site can be considered to have a minor effect on this situation. Also the state has begun a vehicle emissions testing program to assist in compliance to the Clean Air Act. Future technologies and continued improvements in vehicle emissions control systems and enforcement will also have a mitigating effect on air quality in the area. I I(3) Water 10 significant streams, lakes, or water bodies exist on the site. However, here is a potential for a minor cumulative effect on the eventual recieving eater for the city's storm drain system for the area. Ultimate development of the site will change certain drainage patterns and absorption rates on the site. Storm drainage facilities designed to City Standards will provide storm water retention/detention facilities which will control the rate of runoff fran the site to that which presently exists for a specified design level. This requirement will serve to mitigate impacts of drainage off the subject site. No direct uncontrolled storm drainage discharge will occur fran development of the site. Oil/water separation facilities are also required by the City's drainage ordinance. No critical ground water aquifer is apparent on the site, and excavation/grading activities are not considered substantial enough to intercept such waters. The site is well drained with no standing water. Minor indirect effects to absorption ates may occur through the addition of impervious surfaces to the site. additional vegetation added to the site in the form of landscaping will also help control impacts caused by erosion. Temporary erosion and sedimentation control measures per the city's storm drainage ordinance will help to reduce he temporary impacts from construction. II (4) Flora The site has been previously cleared and revegetated with a mixture of deciduous trees primarily Alder, Maple and Cottonwood with some scattered mall clusters of evergreen remaining. Man-induced shrubs, flowers, grasses and trees are predaninent around the existing single family structure. The remaining groundcover is a mixture of brush and scrub grasses typical of the region and small mixed deciduous tress. Ultimate development of the site will remove most of the existing vegetation of the site, with the exception of certain specimens of the few existing evergreens that can be reasonably incoLporated into the landqcape -plan. No unique, rare of endangered species of flora exist on the site. Additional species and numbers of flora will be introduced to the site as part of the comprehensive landscaping plan associated with its development. II (5) Fauna The proposal will disrupt the existing vegetation of the site which provides habitat for certain fauna. However, such fauna are limited to shall mammals Page Three such as rodent varieties, birds, reptiles, and insects indigenous to the typical western Washington suburban simi-wooded environment. The subject development will displace certain fauna through forced migration to adjacent and surounding properties of similar character. The size and character of the habitat is such that it does not represent sufficient quality to provide meaningful wildlife habitat. No unique, rare, or endangered species are apparent on the site. New species of trees and shrubs introduced within the overall landscaping of the development will attract certain existing or new species of fauna. II(6) Noise Existing noise levels on the site will be altered on a temporary basis by construction activity, and on a permanent basis by the continued operation of a medical office complex. The location of the subject site adjacent to the arterial street pattern and its related ambient noise level due to a fairly constant traffic volume, reduces the relative impact of such existing ambient levels. Increases in noise levels at certain daytime office hours can be expected. One positive element of office type uses is the fact that they are usually active in the day time business hours Dnly and therefore have overall fewer noise impacts than many other uses including residential uses. The City of Renton has a noise ordinance which establishes certain allowable maximum environmental sound levels, thus mitigating impacts due to noise. The proposed use will conform to these established standards and to existing noise levels of other similar uses in the surrounding area. II (7) .Light and Glare It is anticipated that new forms of light and glare will be introduced to the site and surrounding area upon development. Such additions are typical of a suburban office type use and do not represent a substantial hazardous, or nuisance situation. Such impacts are primarily due to automobile parking areas, lighting, and reflective surfaces of the structures. These impacts can be partially mitigated by suitable landscaping throughout the site, and by appropriate building design and facade treatments. Parking area lighting can be designed to mitigate off-site impacts. II (8) Land Use Please refer to the rezone application information and justification for further explanation of this subject. The rezone proposal will permit the further design refinement and review for a medical office complex. The present use of the site will therefore, be changed from its relatively undeveloped state (the existing single family residence will be rem ved) to the the planned office use. The proposed use is compatible with existing uses, zoning, and the Comprehensive Plan for the area. Existing surrounding land uses include the Valley Villa Convalescent Center pn the north with medical offices further north, medical offices to the west and northwest, existing scattered single family residences to the south (some vacant along the west side of Talbot Road South) and the existing State of Washington Gravel Pit area to the east (with a natural vegetation buffer directly adjacent to the site) . The subject site and area is in a land use transition fran scattered large Lot residential uses to health rare and professional office uses. Such transition is closely associated with the progressive growth and importance of the Valley General Hospital , the development of an increasing employment base in the Valley, the growth and development of residential areas on the Renton-Kent Plateau, and the City's planning for the area. II(9) Natural Resources The proposal will utilize saw natural resources including fossil fuels, wood products, and gravel as a result of construction and future operation. iowever, such utilization is not considered substantial given the relatively mall size of the site and scope-of the development with respect to the Page Four total consumption or rate of depletion of non-renewable natural resources. II(10) Population The subject proposal will not directly add to_the population of the area. It may have a minor secondary effect of attracting additional population, given the locational convenience of a variety of health services. However, service type uSPs generally follow other development trends in a support use. The proposal will have a direct effect of serving the existing and planned population for the area, thereby providing a degree of balance and self- sustaining influence. The area will be more liveable as a result of providing a close convenient health services activity center, which is functionally related to the hospital, employment, and residential areas. Some employment opportunities for existing and future area residents will be created by the development. This proposal is consistent with the projections and planned growth rate of the Renton Comprehensive Plan. Please refer to the southeast Renton Comprehensive Plan for additional information on existing and projected population trends. II(11) Housing The explanation of (10) closely correlates the explanation with regard to housing, given the non-residential nature of the proposal . Such impacts can be considered as possible minor secondary and tertiary effects of the proposed us. Elimination of one existing single family residence on the site is anticipated. The subject proposal is consistent with the trends and plans for the area. II(12) Transportation/Circulation The subject rezone will not have a direct physical impact on transportation/ circulation, however, the intended future development of the site will increase traffic and circulation in the area by a certain amount. Given the 4.6 acre site, the potential square footage maximum range of office area that might be permitted by existing ordinance requirements is approximately 60,000 to 80,000 square feet. Based on the recent traffic studies conducted for the One Valley Place project, trip generation rates average 40 weekday vehicle trip ends for every 1,000 square feet of gross floor area for a medical office use. Given the possible floor area square footage range for the site this would result in a range of 2,400 to 3,200 vehicle trip ends per average weekday. The two-way P.M. peak will range f_ran 204 to 272 trips. Reference is made to further information provided in the One Valley Place traffic study. Existing traffic levels at the intersection of Talbot Road South and S.W. 43rd Street are as follows: Existing Avg. Daily Traffic Volume S.W. 43rd St., east of Talbot Rd. (Eastbound) 13,000 S.W. 43rd St., east of Talbot Rd. (Westbound) 12,661 S.W. 43rd St., west of Talbot Rd. (Eastbound) 15,358 S.W. 43rd St., west of Talbot Rd. (Westbound) 15,965 Talbot Rd., south of 43rd St. Northbound) 3,263 Talbot Rd., south of 43rd St. Southbound) 2,594 Talbot Rd., north of 43rd St. Northbound) 3,981 Talbot Rd., north of 43rd St. Southbound) 3,859 City of Renton Traffic Enginooring Div., 1982 Counts Given the nature of the proposed use as a support 1SP to the residential, employment, and hospital area, a certain nunber of the projected trips will be intercepted fluor existing traffic flows. Certain areas primarily at S.W. 43rd St. and SR-167 and at Carr Rd. and Benson (SR-515) presently Page Five Experience peak hour congestion. A visit to the doctor might be arranged on the way to or from work, as part of a shopping trip, or suite other activity. Service vehicle trips to the site may be ccanbined with other similar uses in the vicinity. Therefore, not all of the projected trips will be new added trips to the existing system. Some of the added peak hour afternoon trips to the subject site-originating from the major residential areas to the east will be in the opposite direction of the eastbound heavier flows. Also, many of the trips in a medical facility will tend to be spread out over the daytime; 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. period. The proximity of the site to a major arterial (S.W. 43rd St.) , a signalized intersection, and the freeway system also helps to mitigate some of the impacts. Planned improvements to S.W. 43rd St. , SR-515, and other roadway improvements in the general area will assist peak hour traffic flows. Improvements along the frontage of Talbot Rd. will be required by city ordinance as part of development. This includes widening the street to 4 lanes and sidewalks to match that which exists to the north. Other mitigating measures referenced in the One Valley Place study will help reduce potential problems and hazards, and provide additional capability for handling increased traffic demands. The signalization of the on- off ramp at SR-167 and the new Talbot Place signal on S.W. 43rd, are specific projects which will be accomplished by that development and the state/local agencies and will help area traffic flows and the operation of the intersection of S.W. 43rd and Talbot Rd. So. Re-phasing the existing signal and re- striping approaches are also mitigating measures which have been suggested for that intersection. 11 (13) Public Services The area is presently within the City of Renton and therefore, receives the various services provided by the City. Other existing developments n the vicinity already utilize such services. There will be certain demands upon such services created by the proposed development. However, the magnitude of this demand as a sole need for new services is not significant. ervices may be altered to a minor degree as compared to the total city- wide demand for governmental services. Such services are generally provided can an increasing demand basis as the overall population increases, and according to ratios and levels of service acceptable by the citizens and he elected officials. The additional tax bacc, consumer spending, construction employment, and the City's fee system will help mitigate such impacts. Generally, office development has less impact on the city's fire police, ibrary, parks, schools, and other similar ^crvices than residential uses. Buildings, utilities, and other site improvements will be developed to city fire, building, and zoning code requirements thus reducing potential demand of services. Utility construction will facilitate the city's plans for provision of such services further south of the site. Roadway improvements along street frontages will be in conformance with existing improvements on Talbot Rd. , north of the site, and enhance street appearance and function. I I (14) Energy The development of the subject site will place minor demands on energy consumption relative to total energy demand. No new sources of energy will be required as a result of the proposal. Some energy conservation will occur as a result of locating a convenient health service in proximate o a substantial residential growth and employment area. f II (15) ltilities All of the above noted utilities are available to the site and are of adequate capacity to serve the site. Such utilities will be extended into the site and to the site boundaries as required by the plans of the various agencies. No substantial extensions of utilities are anticipated. All design and onstruction will conform to the requirements of the City of Renton and ether public and private utility agencies. Page Six II(16) Aesthetics It is a highly subjective opinion as to whether or not the site as it aow exists is a scenic vista. The site does not have any unique features that categorize it as a scenic vista. The site is uphill from Talbot Rd. with undeveloped and gravel pit uses further uphill and east of the site. Therefore, no structures or uses around the site are so located that development of the site will obstruct the view or aesthetics. Aesthetic quality can be very subjective. The general character of medical- professional office uses tend to be low-mid rise (4 stories or less) , conservative, and non-obstructive in nature. Aesthetic quality can be derived form the orderly planning and placement of building, landscaping, parking areas, circulation elements, lighting, signing, and architectural treatment. 1 iND1NG ' OF FILE FILE TITLE fi --- 066 4 tottitaiorW, k i
