PUBLIC HEARING
aj Extending Interim Zoning Regarding Limit on Number of Marijuana Retail Businesses: This
�� being the date set and proper notice having been posted and published in accordance with
,,( local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to consider extending interim
�� zoning regarding a limit on the number of marijuana retail businesses.
Long Range Planning Manager Angie Mathias reported that Council adopted interim zoning
setting the maximum number of retail marijuana stores at five on October 5, 2015.She
explained that the interim zoning is effective for one year, unless it is renewed and that the
renewal requires a public hearing.
Ms. Mathias clarified that the reason the interim zoning was established was due to the
September 2015 decision made by the Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB)establishing that a
new application period for retail stares would open, and there would not be a limit ta the
number stores allowed per jurisdiction due to the consolidation of inedical marijuana stores
with recreational marijuana stores. In January of 2016,the LCB retracted that statement,
timiting the number of stores per jurisdiction,and allocating six stores as the total allowable
number of stores for the City of Renton.
Following two briefings, a public hearing, and deliberations,the Planning Commission and City
staff recommended keeping the maximum number of stores allowed in Renton at five.This
zoning would become effective through the adoption of Ordinance No.5816 (see.belowJ,
which, if adopted,wil� become effective on November 6, 2016. However, City Attorney Larry
Warren explained that the adoption of this proposed interim zoning ordinance would need to
be adopted via two readings this evening as an emergency ordinance, so as to avoid a gap in
zoning regulations where six stores would be allowable. Public Comment was invited.
Following this clarification, and there being no public comment, it was

Interim zoning ordinance#5750 limited the number of retail marijuana stores that will be licensed in the City
to five. Staff has been engaged in a work program to formally codify a maximum number of retail marijuana
stores and make other amendments to the marijuana regulations. That work program is nearly complete.
However, ordinances are not effective until five days after publication so the ordinance adopting maximum
number of retail marijuana stores and other amendments will not be effective before the interim zoning
expires on October 5, 2016. State law allows the interim zoning to be extended for up to six months if Council
holds a public hearing and makes findings of fact. Staff would like Council to set a public hearing for October 3,
2016 to consider extending this interim zoning.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Council held a public hearing on October 27, 2014 on extending the moratorium on accepting
applications for business licenses or permits for medical marijuana businesses. The State Legislature
had legislation regarding medical marijuana pending but failed to take meaningful action and there is
no assurance that the State Legislature will take meaningful action in the 2015 session. Adopting a six
months moratorium extension will allow the City time to consider its own legislation controlling the
medical marijuana businesses that wish to locate within the City.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution extending the moratorium on accepting applications for business licenses or permits
for medical marijuana businesses.

Gene Kolcynski, Lindbergh High School,thanked City officials for recognizing the

Hazen High School's entrepreneurship program exemplifies what DECA

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
CED:Six-month Extension of accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to
Medical Marijuana consider the six-month extension, as declared on September 15, 2014,of the
Moratorium moratorium on the acceptance of business licenses and permits for medical
� marijuana businesses declared on November 4, 2013.
Q� 1rp� Senior Planner Angie Mathias reported that the City is required by State law to
� hold a public hearing within 60 days of declaring the six-month extension of the
i moratorium. She explained that the purpose of the hearing is to rovide the
P
public with an opportunity to speak in favor or opposition of the moratorium
extension. She also clarified that the moratorium is related to the submission,
acceptance, processing or approval of applications or licenses by or for new
business licenses or permits for new establishments in the sale, use,growing,
manufacture, distribution or processing of inedical marijuana only.
Ms. Mathias reported that the City has already adopted regulations related to
the zoning of recreational marijuana. She explained that the State Liquor
Control Board regulates recreational marijuana,and controls the issuance of
licenses for producers, processors, and retailers. She added that the
recreational marijuana industry is highly regulated, and noted that the medical
marijuana industry is not.
October 27, 2014 � Renton Citv Council Minutes � Pa�e 317
� Concluding, Ms. Mathias reported that the City declared the moratorium
because the administration anticipates that the State legislature will take action
to align the regulations regarding the recreational and medical marijuana
industries. She stated that moratorium also prevents businesses from vesting
to regulations that are anticipated to be changed by the State legislature.
Public comment was invited.
Howard McOmber(Renton) acknowledged that the City is not going to take any
action on this issue until the State provides further guidance. He urged Council
to apply as liberal a policy as possible for medicinal cannabis when making its
final decision on this issue. He also remarked that he believes medicinal
cannabis to be no more harmful than over-the-counter headache medicines.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PERSSON,
SECONDED BY PRINCE, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
APPEAL Planning and Development Committee Chair Prince presented a report
CED: Enclave at Bridle Ridge recommending that the City Council AFFIRM the Hearing Examiner's Final
Decision on Reconsideration (Final Decision)on August 13, 2014, subject to the
suggested modifications made below.
Facts:
On October 23, 2014,the Planning and Development Committee (PDCj,with a
quorum, heard the closed hearing arguments of the Appellants, Roger and
Jason Paulsen, and the applicant's/developer's representative, attorney Brent
Carson. Staff, represented by Jill Ding, provided a basic overview of the project
with a PowerPoint presentation which was followed by the Appellant's
argument.
Findin�s of Fact and Conclusions of Law:
The PDC reviewed the materials before the closed hearing, and the Parties
stayed within the record. After careful consideration of the arguments;the
hundreds of pages of documents, including the Final Decision,the PDC does not
find any substantial error that warrants reversal of the Hearing Examiner's Final
Decision. As a result,the PDC adopts the Hearing Examiner's Final Decision, in
its entirety, subject to the modifications noted below.
Concerning the positions of the parties,the PDC understands that one of the
Appellants' concerns relates to the volume of traffic that utilizes 156th Ave. SE.
It appears that this volume may be the result of people seeking to avoid or
bypass I-405 and other passageways in the vicinity. Traffic operating at LOS F
(the worst possible level), is not desirable and needs to be corrected.
Furthermore,the PDC understands that traffic along 156th Ave. SE is a problem
now,will continue to be a problem in the future,even without this
development, and that the addition of up to nine more trips during rush hour
will not make it better.
Notwithstanding this fact and the anticipated poor access,the PDC does not
believe that the solution to the existing problem and the anticipated problem is
to prevent the development of Enclave at Bridle Ridge. An effective solution
must address the flow and/or amount of traffic along 156th Ave. SE. As a
result,the PDC recommends the following:

Mayor Law stated that it is unfortunate that supporters of inedical marijuana
are in a situation where they feel that elected officials are potentially taking a
stand to either approve or deny the use of inedical marijuana. He emphasized
that City officials are not taking a stand. He explained that because the State
legislature has not recognized medical marijuana it makes it illegal for the City
to address the issue. Mayor Law further explained that because medical
marijuana has not been addressed like recreational marijuana has,the City has
no authority to issue licenses and permits,or adopt zoning regulations. He
stated that the City is hoping the State legislature will address the issue within
the next six months.
Councilmember Prince confirmed that existing medical marijuana dispensaries
in Renton will be allowed to continue to operate during the moratorium.

City Attorney Warren remarked that medical marijuana is not regulated the
same way as recreational marijuana. He added that some medical marijuana
dispensaries are operating appropriately and some are not. Mr.Warren stated
that the federal government has called the present state of lack of regulation in
the medical marijuana industry unsupportable,and may interfere with the
process if controls are not put in place.

Mav 12, 2014 � ., Renton Citv Council Minutes � Pa�e 146
` Associate Planner Angie Mathias reported that the purpose of the public
hearing is to consider and take public testimony on the six-month extension of
the moratorium declared 11/4/2013 regarding medical marijuana. She
reported that Council extended the moratorium for medical marijuana only on
3J17/2014. She added that Council has already approved regulations regarding
legalized recreational marijuana.
Ms. Mathias explained that recreational marijuana is highly regulated,and falls
under the purview of the State Liquor Control Board. She remarked that the
board established licenses for marijuana producers, processors and retailers.
She remarked that there are extensive requirements for the recreational
marijuana industry including traceability,security,employee rules, and other
regulations.
Ms. Mathias reported that medical marijuana is not as regulated as recreational
marijuana. She explained that the City has extended the moratorium in
anticipation of the State legislature aligning the regulations for medical and
recreational marijuana into one system under the purview of the State Liquor
Control Board. She remarked that this did not happen during the last legislative
session,and in the absence of legislation the City is not prepared to make a
decision on the issue.
Concluding, Ms. Mathias stated that extending the moratorium prohibits
businesses from vesting to old regulations, provides adequate public
participation in the process, and provides time for the City to develop a work
program for medical marijuana. She stated that regardless of the outcome by
the State legislature,the City will follow an administrative process that includes
presenting a medical marijuana work program proposal to the administration,
then to the Planning Commission, and ultimately to the City Council for final
action.
Responding to inquiries from Councilmember Prince, Ms. Mathias confirmed
that the moratorium expires on 9/24/2014. She noted that the City must either
adopt regulations or extend the moratorium again by that date.
Public comment was invited.
Howard McOmber(Renton)stated that he believes that medical marijuana is
something different than recreational marijuana. He praised Council for taking
the time to consider this issue,and noted that there are a lot of people who
depend on alternative medicines. He also remarked that he believes the
moratorium is a good idea,and Council should use the time to get information
from the medical community regarding this topic.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PERSSON,
SECONDED BY PRINCE,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative
report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work
programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2014 and beyond. Items
noted were:

City Attorney Larry Warren added that Renton has asked to be the lead agency
for the Renton area of the project, but the actual decision as to which route is
chosen rests with PSE. He noted that their governing authority is the
Washington State Utilities and Transportation Commission. Mr. Warren also
confirmed that Tariff 80, which is regarding undergrounding of transmission
lines, allows PSE to charge local communities for undergrounding because this
option is deemed aesthetic by the State.
Mr.Corman remarked that he is curious to know if other municipalities have
had to pay for undergrounding. He stated that he would not want to be told
that the City had to pay for undergrounding the lines only to find out later that
was not the case.
RESOLUTIONS AND The following ordinance was presented for first reading and referred to the

AUDIENCE COMMENT Paul Ouellette (Renton) suggested undergrounding portions of the PSE project
Citizen Comment:Ouellette— to save costs. He added that Renton's permitting authority could be used to get
Energize Eastside Proposal some of the lines placed underground.
Citizen Comment: Petersen— Inez Petersen (Renton)shared how meetings for the Highlands Subarea
Energize Eastside Proposal Committee were run,and cautioned PSE not to use that format. She explained
that they were not conducive to raising awareness and solving issues. She also
remarked that City planners used the Delphi Technique to control meetings,
and stated that she believes use of that technique is also inappropriate.
Citizen Comment: DeMund— Jean DeMund (Renton)questioned Puget Sound Energy's impartiality to which
Energize Eastside Proposal route is chosen. She remarked that she thought PSE was a public agenty and it
is not. She also remarked that PSE has pointed out that they will have a public
process, but ultimately will decide which route is choseri. Ms. DeMund also
questioned the methodology for coming to consensus that PSE uses in their
meetings. Lastly,she urged Council to use their influence to make PSE and
Seattle City Light share their resources for the greater good of the community.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Inez Petersen (Renton)cautioned that the City may be infringing on
Citizen Comment: Petersen— constitutional rights by exfending the moratorium on medical marijuana. She
Medical Marijuana remarked that the State expects lower government entities to take a
Moratorium Extension reasonable amount of time to implement laws once they are passed. She
�� added that regulations could be implemented now and amended later if
� .l,��G necessary.

Councilmember Briere pointed out that the moratorium extension is only for
medical marijuana and asked the City Attorney for a response. Mayor law
remarked that the City Attorney's office reviews all City resolutions,ordinances,
moratoriums,and other action the City is taking on this issue. He noted that all
legal opinions will come from the City Attorney's ofFice.
Mr. Covington stated that the reason the moratorium on medical marijuana is
being extended is because the State legislature could not figure out how to
regulate it during their recent sixty-day session. He remarked that the City is
struggling with the issue because of the ambiguity in the current law and how it
conflicts with some of the recreational marijuana regulations. He noted that
the public will have an opportunity to speak on this issue at the 5/12/2014
public hearing. Mr. Covington added that the City is adopting an ordinance that
will allow the legalization of recreational marijuana per the wishes of the
voters.
Community and Economic Development Administrator Chip Vincent explained
the differences between the City's current regulations for I-692 regarding
medical marijuana and I-502 regarding recreational marijuana. He explained
that the City had an expectation based on representation from the State
legislature that the regulations would be merged into one legislative package.
He remarked that medical marijuana is highly unregulated and untaxed,
whereas recreational marijuana is highly regulated and taxed. Mr.Vincent
added that because the State legislature failed to combine the two initiatives
into one sensible law,the administration is recommending that the moratorium
on medical marijuana (only) be extended.
Citizen Comment:Ouellette— Paul Ouellette (Renton) remarked that he believes it is a good idea to extend
Medical Marijuana the moratorium on the medical marijuana issue. He explained that this will give
Moratorium Extension the City more time to regulate it correctly,as opposed to having it wrong and
trying to change it later.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
On November 18, 2012 the Council adopted a six month moratorium on accepting applications for
medical and/or recreational marijuana business licenses or permits. The purpose of the moratorium is
to allow adequate time to: develop an understanding of Liquor Control Board rules and implications of
those rules, study potential impacts of the new land uses, evaluate and consider how other jurisdictions
are regulating, and determine what is right for Renton. Also,the moratorium allows the City to
adequately provide public participation. Attached is a draft work program for staff to begin the process
of developing Renton's regulations regarding legalized marijuana.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the legalized marijuana work program.

PUBLIC HEARING � This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
CED: Moratorium o+�r accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to
Acceptance of Business consider the moratorium on the acceptance of business licenses and permits
Licenses&Permits for for medical and/or recreational marijuana businesses for a period of six
Marijuana Uses months.
� � �n�(�'� � Associate Planner Angie Mathias explained that there are two pathways for
legalized marijuana in Washington State. She remarked that I-692 legalized
medical marijuana,and that collective gardens are one of the only remaining
ways a medical marijuana cardholder can obtain marijuana. She added,
howeyer,that collective gardens may become illegal next year. Ms. Mathias
further explained that I-502 legalized recreational marijuana and created three
permits. She stated that the permits are for retailers, producers, and
processors,and that recreational marijuana use is governed by the State Liquor
Control Board.
Ms. Mathias reported that the City established the six-month moratorium
because it was not anticipated that there would be a need for something called
a marijuana producer, processor,or retailer. She remarked that the issue must
be studied to determine whether these new land uses are agricultural or
manufacturing in nature. She also remarked that the City needs time to
develop an understanding of the State Liquor Control Board rules, and to
determine whether or not to impose additional restrictions on these
businesses. Ms. Mathias remarked that this moratorium also allows public
participation in the process. She stated that the next step is for the department
to develop a work program, and then follow the City's administrative process to
develop and present a proposal for Council approval. Ms. Mathias added that
citizens can follow the progress by regularly checking the department's website.
Mayor Law stated that the moratorium is in no way an attempt to avoid or
circumvent the will of the people. He stated that nearly 60%of Renton voters
voted in favor of legalizing marijuana. Mayor Law remarked, however,that
there are a lot of unanswered questions and the moratorium will provide City
time to bring a proposal to Council.
Public comment was invited.
Howard McOmber(Renton) remarked that he believes that medical marijuana
should be viewed as medicine and treated difFerently than recreational
marijuana. He added that the City should not curtail people's ability to obtain
medical marijuana.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PERSSON,
SECONDED BY CORMAN,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
PUBLIC MEETING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The State of Washington Liquor Control Board is expected to start accepting applications for marijuana
related businesses November 18, 2013. The City of Renton has not analyzed potential impacts these
businesses may have on the city as a whole or on properties that are in close proximity to the
businesses, made determinations regarding appropriate land use classifications for the businesses, or
considered additional regulations the city may wish to impose on such businesses. In the absence of
such review and consideration, the city is not adequately prepared to begin issuing business licenses
for marijuana related businesses. Given this, it is appropriate for the city to adopt a moratorium that
would give the city the time needed to engage in the process of analyzing impacts, making
determinations regarding land use classification, and considering additional regulations.
The resolution sets a date for a public hearing at the Council meeting of December 2, 2013, which will
provide the public with an opportunity to comment on the moratorium, and the issues identified above.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Council read and readopt a Resolution commencing a six month moratorium on accepting business
licenses for marijuana related businesses, setting a public hearing date, and directing staff to engage
the public and begin a work program regarding regulations for marijuana related businesses in Renton.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Annexation: Maertins, NE 16th accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to
St&SE Renton lssaquah Rd consider the 60% Petition to Annex and zoning for the proposed Maertins
Annexation; approximately 4.2 acres, located south of NE 16th St., east of 145th
PI.SE,and north of SE Renton Issaquah Rd.
Associate Planner Angie Mathias reported that the proposed annexation site is
in the City's potential annexation area (PAA), it contains one single-family home
and vacant land. She noted that the site is within a larger area that had been
annexed through the unincorporated island method a few years ago, but
property owners repealed that annexation. Ms. Mathias stated that there are
no significant slopes or critical areas (wetlands or regulated streams) in the
annexation area,and public services are currently provided by Fire District#25,
Water District#90, Renton sewer service, and the Issaquali School District.
Reviewing the site's zoning, Ms. Mathias stated that the existing King County
zoning is R-4(four dwelling units per gross acre). She reported that the City had
pre-zoned the area in 1996 as R-5 (five dwelling units per net acre), but that
zoning designation is no longer available. She also reported that the City's
Comprehensive Plan designates the site as eCigible for residential low density
zoning and explained that R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre) is being
recommended and will become effective upon annexation.
Ms. Mathias reported that currently there is one dwelling unit in the area, and
if annexed it is estimated to generate$1,603 in revenues and cost$1,701
annually to the City's Operating Fund, which would change to$24,015 in
revenues and $18,281 in costs if the potential 13 additional dwelling units are
built over the next ten years.
Concluding, Ms. Mathias remarked that the City's best interests and general
welfare are served by this annexation.
