SUMMARY OF ACTION: In June 1994, City Council directed Planning/Building/Public Works to proceed with assimilation of the P-1 Zone into the other zones adopted in June 1993. The other zones do accommodate most, if not all of the uses that were typically allowed in the P-1 zone. The recommendation of the Hearing Examiner for approval of the City-sponsored rezone was published November 13, 1997. No requests for reconsideration or appeals were received during the appeal period which ended November 28, 1997. Neither the Environmental Review Committee(ERC)or Hearing Examiner imposed conditions on this rezone. The Examiner recommends that City Council approve reclassification of the subject property from P-1 to CA.

APPLICANT: City of Renton Liberty Park P-1 Rezone File No.: LUA-97-113,R LOCATION: 1101 Bronson Way North • SUMMARY OF REQUEST: City initiated rezone of an irregular shaped 11.89 acre site from Public Use(P-1)Zone to the Commercial Arterial(CA) Zone with a"P"suffix attached. SUMMARY OF ACTION: Development Services Recommendation: Approve with conditions DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT: The Development Services Report was received by the Examiner on October 21, 1997. PUBLIC HEARING: In accordance with Section 4-8-14(C)(2),the Hearing Examiner shall determine if a change of zone classification is advisable, in the public interest,tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights of the petitioner,is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity thereof,and is in harmony with the purposes and effect of the Comprehensive Plan. In such event,the Hearing Examiner may recommend that the City Council approve the change of the zone classification. EXHIBITS: Exhibit No. I: Yellow file containing application,proof of posting and publication and other documentation pertinent to this request. Exhibit No.2: Vicinity map • MINUTES The following minutes are a summary of the October 28,1997 hearing. The legal record is recorded on tape. The hearing opened on Tuesday,October 28, 1997,at 10:32 a.m.in the Council Chambers on the second floor of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. City project manager,DONALD ERICKSON,P/B/PW Special Projects,City of Renton,200 Mill Avenue South,Renton,Washington 98055,presented the staff report. He explained that when the City prepared its -- ^ •d. • City of Renton Liberty Park P-1 Rezone File No.:LUA-97-113,R November 13, 1997 Page 2 Comprehensive Plan in 1993 it deferred making changes to the Public Use(P-1)zone to allow more time to study existing P-1 uses.'Originally,the P-1 zone was intended to recognize public ownership and to provide a Process that would expedite development. The study found that the City's new zoning allows the same public uses in virtually every zone. It was also found that a relatively high percentage of actual public uses are not located in the P-1 zones. For example,City Hall and the Fire Station are in the commercial zone and schools and parks are generally located in single family zones. Staff proposed to the City Council's Planning and Development Committee that the City should either assimilate all public uses in P-1 zones or allow for public uses in all other zones. The City Council chose the latter recommendation since there are adequate provisions in other zones to accommodate public uses and it would be more consistent with the Growth Management Act. Therefore,the current proposal is part of a series of 40 proposed rezones of publicly held properties. An ordinance adopted in June 1995 and referred to as"P" suffix zoning,was incorporated to protect the public interest by identifying publicly-held properties. It also requires public notification if there is to be a change in tenancy,use,or ownership of any of these properties. All of these P-1 rezones will be identified with a"P" suffix. The property which is the subject of this hearing is approximately 11.89 acres in size and is located at 1101 Bronson Way North. The applicant has requested the site be rezoned from P-I to CA which is the Commercial Arterial Zone. According to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map,the area adjacent to this property is zoned CA. In conclusion,Mr. Erickson recommended that Liberty Park be rezoned from P-1 to CA with.a"P"suffix attached for the following reasons: that the rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Map designation for this parcel;it is consistent with City policy that encourages the development and maintenance of a system of high quality parks and recreation facilities to serve Renton residents since existing neighborhood,community,and regional parks are allowed in the CA Zone;and the rezone is consistent with previous rezones of nearby properties with the Employment Area-Commercial land use designation to the Commercial Arterial Zone in 1993. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak,and no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 10:52 a.m. FINDINGS.CONCLUSIONS&RECOMMENDATION Having reviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant,City of Renton,filed a request to'reclassify the subject site from P-1 (Public/Quasi- public)to CA(Commercial Arterial). 2. The City of Renton filed requests for approval of a series of forty(40)separate rezones involving a series of separate properties generally owned by public agencies including the City,King County and the Renton School District. The City proposes phasing out its P-1 Zone,a zone that in the past was designed to accommodate public and quasi-public uses. Each of the proposals requests that the new zoning be changed to closely, if not exactly match,surrounding zoning districts and the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. • • City of Renton Liberty Park P-1 Rezone File No.: LUA-97-113,R November 13, 1997 Page 3 3. The yellow file containing the staff report,the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit#1. 4. The Environmental Review Committee(ERC),the City's responsible official,issued a Declaration of Non-Significance(DNS)for the subject proposal. 5. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. 6. While the background information on the study and proposed abolition of the P-1 zone will be the same for each report,each site will receive separate attention and a separate decision. 7. The P-1 (Public/QuasiPublic)Zone was established in the early 1950's to accommodate governmental facilities as well as certain private uses such as private medical clinics and private hospitals,as well as private schools,museums and the like that accommodated the public. The permitted uses were expanded over the years to accommodate an even wider range of uses while other zoning districts also broadened their range of respective uses,in effect,duplicating the permitted uses in the P-1 zone. The current zoning categorization generally appears to accommodate most,although not all,of the uses the current P-1 zone permits. The City Council directed staff to make a recommendation as to the continued need for a distinct P-1 zone. A result of that study was presented to the Planning Commission(May 4, 1994 Report). The Planning Commission recommended the assimilation of the P-1 zone. The City Council then directed that individual parcels be assimilated into nearby,compatible zones after appropriate public hearings. The current action is the result of those decisions. 8. The subject site is Liberty Park,the park north of the Cedar River north of the Renton Municipal Building. It consists of the approximately 11.89 acres situated between the Cedar River on the south, Bronson Way North on the west and Houser Way on the east. The site is owned by the City of Renton and is used for active and passive recreation. 9. The parcel is very irregularly shaped,with the parcel generally defined by the curving contours of the surrounding streets and river. 10. The City proposes designating the site CA. The City has attached a special designation to any public property which carries so-called"normal"zoning designations. This special designation is a"P"or P- suffix,permitting those who view the Zoning Map to determine that the property is publicly owned. This designation also carries with it a requirement for public notice of any further change of use or I zoning. 11., The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of commercial uses that generate employment opportunities where appropriate,but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. 12. Zoning along the Bronson corridor is generally CA following the arterial as it traverses to the northeast from the City Hall locale. 13. Park uses are permitted in the CA Zone. The City does not propose any redevelopment of the site and will maintain the park use. City of Renton Liberty Park P-1 Rezone File No.: LUA-97-113,R November 13, 1997 Page 4 CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest,that it will not impair the public health,safety and welfare,and in addition complies with at least one of the criteria found in Section 4-8-14,which provides in part that: a. The subject site has not been considered in a previous area-wide 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 a material and substantial change in the area in which the subject site is located since the last rezoning of the property or area. The ' I The requested classification is justified and should be approved. 2. The P-1 district and its associated properties were removed from the city-wide reclassification effort to study the basis for the zone itself. This site as well as the other P-1 properties were segregated for special review. The public hearing that preceded this recommendation is the first analysis since that study demonstrated that there is no reason to maintain the P-1 zones. 3. The Comprehensive Plan designates the area as suitable for commercial uses reflecting the adjacent Bronson arterial.The Commercial Arterial zone comes close to providing zoning which matches the Comprehensive Plan's designation while still permitting the use of the site for park purposes. The proposed zoning matches the zoning of surrounding property. 4. While changes to the area have not been substantial,the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning code have themselves undergone a profound change. The need for a separate holding zone for public and quasi- public uses has been questioned for a long time and the adoption of these new land use provisions just provided the impetus to review the P-1 zone. The proposed zoning is an appropriate alternative for the current P-1 zone. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council should approve the reclassification of the subject site from P-1 to CA with the P- suffix as proposed.

The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte(private one-on-one)communications may occur concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council. • All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court. The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as Appeals to the City Council.

HEARING EXAMINER'S REPORT : X,, s � s . , November 13, 1997 OFFICE OF THE HEARING EXAMINER CITY OF RENTON REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION APPLICANT: City of Renton Liberty Park P-1 Rezone File No.: LUA-97-113,R LOCATION: 1101 Bronson Way North SUMMARY OF REQUEST: City initiated rezone of an irregular shaped 11.89 acre site from Public Use(P-1)Zone to the Commercial Arterial(CA) Zone with a"P" suffix attached. SUMMARY OF ACTION: Development Services Recommendation: Approve with conditions DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT: The Development Services Report was received by the Examiner on October 21, 1997. PUBLIC HEARING: In accordance with Section 4-8-14(C)(2),the Hearing Examiner shall determine if a change of zone classification is advisable, in the public interest,tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights of the petitioner,is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity thereof,and is in harmony with the purposes and effect of the Comprehensive Plan. In such event,the Hearing Examiner may recommend that the City Council approve the change of the zone classification. EXHIBITS: Exhibit No. 1: Yellow file containing application,proof of posting and publication and other documentation pertinent to this request. Exhibit No.2: Vicinity map MINUTES The following minutes are a summary of the October 28, 1997 hearing. The legal record is recorded on tape. The hearing opened on Tuesday, October 28, 1997, at 10:32 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the second floor of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. City project manager,DONALD ERICKSON,P/B/PW Special Projects,City of Renton,200 Mill Avenue South,Renton, Washington 98055,presented the staff report. He explained that when the City prepared its City of Renton Liberty Park P-1 Rezone File No.: LUA-97-113,R November 13, 1997 Page 2 Comprehensive Plan in 1993 it deferred making changes to the Public Use(P-1)zone to allow more time to study existing P-1 uses. Originally,the P-1 zone was intended to recognize public ownership and to provide a process that would expedite development. The study found that the City's new zoning allows the same public uses in virtually every zone. It was also found that a relatively high percentage of actual public uses are not 'located in the P-1 zones. For example,City Hall and the Fire Station are in the commercial zone and schools and parks are generally located in single family zones. Staff proposed to the City Council's Planning and Development Committee that the City should either assimilate all public uses in P-1 zones or allow for public uses in all other zones. The City Council chose the latter recommendation since there are adequate provisions in other zones to accommodate public uses and it would be more consistent with the Growth Management Act. Therefore,the current proposal is part of a series of 40 proposed rezones of publicly held properties. An ordinance adopted in June 1995 and referred to as "P" suffix zoning,was incorporated to protect the public interest by identifying publicly-held properties. It also requires public notification if there is to be a change in tenancy,use, or ownership of any of these properties. All of these P-1 rezones will be identified with a"P" suffix. The property which is the subject of this hearing is approximately 11.89 acres in size and is located at 1101 Bronson Way North. The applicant has requested the site be rezoned from P-1 to CA which is the Commercial Arterial Zone. According to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map,the area adjacent to this property is zoned CA. In conclusion,Mr. Erickson recommended that Liberty Park be rezoned from P-1 to CA with a"P" suffix attached for the following reasons: that the rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Map designation for this parcel; it is consistent with City policy that encourages the development and maintenance of a system of high quality parks and recreation facilities to serve Renton residents since existing neighborhood, community,and regional parks are allowed in the CA Zone; and the rezone is consistent with previous rezones of nearby properties with the Employment Area-Commercial land use designation to the Commercial Arterial Zone in 1993. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak,and no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 10:52 a.m. FINDINGS,CONCLUSIONS&RECOMMENDATION Having reviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant,City of Renton,filed a request to reclassify the subject site from P-1 (Public/Quasi- public)to CA(Commercial Arterial). 2. The City of Renton filed requests for approval of a series of forty(40)separate rezones involving a series of separate properties generally owned by public agencies including the City,King County and the Renton School District. The City proposes phasing out its P-1 Zone,a zone that in the past was designed to accommodate public and quasi-public uses. Each of the proposals requests that the new zoning be changed to closely, if not exactly match, surrounding zoning districts and the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. City of Renton 'Liberty Park P-1 Rezone File No.: LUA-97-113,R November 13, 1997 Page 3 3. The yellow file containing the staff report,the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit#1. 4. The Environmental Review Committee(ERC),the City's responsible official,issued a Declaration of Non-Significance(DNS)for the subject proposal. 5. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. 6. While the background information on the study and proposed abolition of the P-1 zone will be the same for each report,each site will receive separate attention and a separate decision. 7. The P-1 (Public/QuasiPublic)Zone was established in the early 1950's to accommodate governmental facilities as well as certain private uses such as private medical clinics and private hospitals, as well as private schools,museums and the like that accommodated the public. The permitted uses were expanded over the years to accommodate an even wider range of uses while other zoning districts also broadened their range of respective uses, in effect,duplicating the permitted uses in the P-1 zone. The current zoning categorization generally appears to accommodate most, although not all, of the uses the current P-1 zone permits. The City Council directed staff to make a recommendation as to the continued need for a distinct P-1 zone. A result of that study was presented to the Planning Commission(May 4, 1994 Report). The Planning Commission recommended the assimilation of the P-1 zone. The City Council then directed that individual parcels be assimilated into nearby, compatible zones after appropriate public hearings. The current action is the result of those decisions. 8s The subject site is Liberty Park,the park north of the Cedar River north of the Renton Municipal Building. It consists of the approximately 11.89 acres situated between the Cedar River on the south, Bronson Way North on the west and Houser Way on the east. The site is owned by the City of Renton and is used for active and passive recreation. 9. The parcel is very irregularly shaped,with the parcel generally defined by the curving contours of the surrounding streets and river. 10. The City proposes designating the site CA. The City has attached a special designation to any public property which carries so-called "normal" zoning designations. This special designation is a"P" or P- suffix,permitting those who view the Zoning Map to determine that the property is publicly owned. This designation also carries with it a requirement for public notice of any further change of use or zoning. 11. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for the development of commercial uses that generate employment opportunities where appropriate,but does not mandate such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. 12. Zoning along the Bronson corridor is generally CA following the arterial as it traverses to the northeast from the City Hall locale. 13,. Park uses are permitted in the CA Zone. The City does not propose any redevelopment of the site and will maintain the park use. City of Renton Liberty Park P-1 Rezone File No.: LUA-97-113,R November 13, 1997 Page 4 CONCLUSIONS: 1. The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest,that it will not impair the public health, safety and welfare, and in addition complies with at least one of the criteria found in Section 4-8-14,which provides in part that: a. The subject site has not been considered in a previous area-wide 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 a material and substantial change in the area in which the subject site is located since the last rezoning of the property or area. The requested classification is justified and should be approved. 2. The P-1 district and its associated properties were removed from the city-wide reclassification effort to study the basis for the zone itself. This site as well as the other P-1 properties were segregated for special review. The public hearing that preceded this recommendation is the first analysis since that study demonstrated that there is no reason to maintain the P-1 zones. 3. The Comprehensive Plan designates the area as suitable for commercial uses reflecting the adjacent Bronson arterial. The Commercial Arterial zone comes close to providing zoning which matches the Comprehensive Plan's designation while still permitting the use of the site for park purposes. The proposed zoning matches the zoning of surrounding property. 4. While changes to the area have not been substantial,the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning code have themselves undergone a profound change. The need for a separate holding zone for public and quasi- public uses has been questioned for a long time and the adoption of these new land use provisions just provided the impetus to review the P-1 zone. The proposed zoning is an appropriate alternative for the current P-1 zone. RECOMMENDATION: The City Council should approve the reclassification of the subject site from P-1 to CA with the P- suffix as proposed. ORDERED THIS 13th day of November, 1997. FRED J.

Any aggrieved person feeling that the decision of the Examiner is ambiguous or based on erroneous procedure,errors of law or fact, error in judgment,or the discovery of new evidence which could not be reasonably available at the prior hearing may make a written request for a review by the Examiner within fourteen(14)days from the date of the Examiner's decision. This request shall set forth the specific ambiguities or errors discovered by such appellant, and the Examiner may, after review of the record,take further action as he deems proper. An appeal to the City Council is governed by Title IV,Chapter 8, Section 16,which requires that such appeal be filed with the City Clerk, accompanying a filing fee of$75.00 and meeting other specified requirements. Copies of this ordinance are available for inspection or purchase in the Finance Department, first floor of City Hall. The Shoreline Variance is a recommendation to the Washington State Department of Ecology,which shall take final action on the matter. If the Examiner's Recommendation or Decision contains the requirement for Restrictive Covenants,the executed Covenants will be required prior to approval by City Council or final processing of the file. You may contact this office for information on formatting covenants. The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte(private one-on-one)communications may occur concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council. All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court. The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as Appeals to the City Council.

APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Objective LU-ZZ: Develop and maintain a system of high quality parks and recreation facilities to serve Renton residents. Policy LU-346: The park system should include neighborhood, community, and regional parks with sufficient acreage and facilities to meet standards adopted by the Renton Parks Commission. Policy LU-351: Existing parks should be more intensely developed to provide needed recreation facilities where feasible. G. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS: 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND The current proposal is part of a series of six(6)proposed rezones of publicly held properties begun by the City of Renton in 1995. These rezones would change the Public Use (P-1) zoning designation on the subject properties to zoning usually already in the area. Such zoning typically allows the type of uses found on these existing P-1 zoned properties. Occasionally existing zoning may have to be amended to allow some uses that may not have been anticipated, but this has been the rare exception. The current P-1 rezone is part of a series of approximately fifty (50) rezones, more than forty (40) of which have already occurred,that will be necessary to assimilate out all P-1 zoned properties in the City. This consolidation of the City's zoning is based in part upon an extensive staff report that was prepared in November, 1993 the findings of which are summarized in staff's May 4, 1994, Staff Report to the Planning and Development Committee on the issue of the relevance of the Public Use Zone. Given the number of uses provided for within Renton's new zoning codes adopted in June, 1993, and the fact that the P-1 Zone had not been consistently applied to all public uses over the years,the Council in 1994 directed that the P-1 Zone's uses should be assimilated into the City's other zones (see Exhibit`B'). 2. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Pursuant to the city of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21C, 1971, as amended), on September 23, 1997 the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-significance for this proposed rezone. 3. COMPLIANCE WITH ERC CONDITIONS Because no mitigation measures were imposed on this non-project action, there were no ERC conditions that the applicant was required to comply with. LIBRTY2.DOC/ • City of Renton PB/PW Deparrr`nent Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner PROJECT NAME:Liberty Park P-1 Rezone,LUA-97-113,ECF,R PUBLIC HEARING DATE: October 28, 1997 Page 4 of 5 4. STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS Because this rezone is a non-project action under SEPA as well as a part of a package of City sponsored P-1 rezones,no negative impacts were received from other reviewers. 5. CONSISTENCY WITHREZONE APPROVAL CRITERIA Section 4-8-14.0 "In the case where a change of the zone classification of property is recommended, at least one of the following circumstances shall be found to apply:" GENERAL CRITERIA: a) Previously Not Considered Zoning Reclassification That substantial evidence was presented demonstrating the subject reclassification appears not to have been specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning; or The subject site was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area rezoning in June, 1993 since it was understood that Staff were studying the P-1 Zone and were preparing recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council on whether this special purpose zone should be retained, or, assimilated into the City's other new zoning classifications. Commercial areas to the north and west were rezoned in June, 1993 to the CA(Commercial Arterial)Zone and,properties to the south across the Cedar River were zoned CD (Downtown Center)Zone. The subject site was not included in these rezones because the City was waiting for the Council's resolution as to how the Public (P-1)Zone would be handled. In June of 1994, the Council directed staff to proceed with the assimilation of the P-1 Zone into the city's other new zones. b) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, Its Elements and Policies That the property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and conditions have been met which would indicate the change is appropriate; or The subject site has been determined to be potentially classified for the proposed Commercial Arterial Zone based upon the fact that it is designated on the City's Comprehensive Land Use Map as Employment Area -Commercial. In fact most of this land use designation was zoned Commercial Arterial(CA)in 1993. Objective LU-ZZ states that developing and maintaining a system of high quality parks and recreation facilities to serve Renton residents is a City objective. The proposed rezone will not change any of the uses in the existing park since new and existing neighborhood,community and regional parks are a primary permitted use in this zone. It has been assumed by some that P-1 zoning would guarantee continued park uses but staff note that there are a whole array of different uses allowed under the P-1 Zone,only one of which is parks. These uses range from wastewater (sewage)treatment plants and airports to schools and hospitals. LIBRTY2.DOC/ • City of Renton P/B/PW Department Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner PROJECT NAME:Liberty Park P-1 Rezone,L UA-97-113,ECF,R PUBLIC HEARING DATE: October 28, 1997 Page 5 of 5 Although Policy LU-351 suggests that existing parks should be more intensely developed to provide needed recreation facilities where feasible,no intensification is proposed for Liberty Park as a consequence of this proposed rezone action. It is conceivable,however,that recreational facilities could be improved or expanded in the future under the proposed CA zoning which allows existing and new parks,trails and open spaces as primary uses. c) Timeliness of Proposed Rezone That since the last previous land use analysis of the area zoning of the subject property, authorized public improvements, permitted private development or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. The proposed rezone is timely because in June, 1995,the City adopted new zoning provisions to protect the public trust that implemented Public Facilities Policies LU-229, LU-230, and LU-231. These provisions, which ensure early notification for nearby residents and property owners whenever there is a change of use, ownership, or major tenancy of any publicly owned property, allowed the City to move ahead with its P-1 rezones and their assimilation to other zones. H. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommend approval of the Liberty Park P-1 Rezone, File No. LUA-97-113,ECF, R, (with a public use"P" suffix attached because this is a publicly owned parcel),for the following reasons: 1. The rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation for this parcel, 2. The rezone is consistent with City policy that encourages the development and maintenance of a system of high quality parks and recreation facilities to serve Renton residents since existing neighborhood, community, and regional parks are allowed in the CA(Commercial Arterial)Zone. 3. The rezone is consistent with previous rezones of nearby properties with the Employment Area - Commercial land use designation to the Commercial Arterial Zone in 1993. 4. The subject rezone is a non-project action under SEPA and is a legislative act which of and by itself will not result in new development. Note: The applicant was not required to comply with any mitigation measures since the Environmental Review Committee issued a straight Determination of Non-significance for these proposed rezones when it considered them on November 12, 1996.

The Committee also recommends that staff continue to work with all interested parties to address concerns of the Planning Commission and the Planning and Development Committee related to preserving the public trust and revising the development standards related to these uses. This action will allow staff to proceed in a timely manner with amendments to the Comprehensive Plan related to these public uses. The Committee will continue to work with staff on the remaining issues and report back to City Council prior to adoption of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code amendments.

As a result of this work, the City is proposing to reclassify park and open space parcels from their current P-1 (Public Use) Zones to new zoning designations consistent with the zoning that exists with the abutting or surrounding properties. We support this change, as we believe the interests of the surrounding community will be better protected while still allowing the City to reasonably use and develop these properties for their intended purposes. To clarify any potential misunderstanding with this process, the City of Renton has no plans to sell or change the use of any of its park or open space properties as a result of this action, as we consider this action to be simply a technical zoning change. Any future plans or construction activities will continue to be subject to full public review and participation. Thank you for the opportunity to express these thoughts.

Don Erickson has coordinated with Laureen Nicolay on this submission to try to make sure that no pieces were missing. If you have any questiops please contact Don at Ext. 6181. Thanks cc: H:\W W 6ODOT\MEMO.DOT\bh Project Proposal Rezone Liberty Park from its current Public Use(P-1)zoning to Center Downtown(CD) zoning with a "P" suffix attached designating as a public owner property subject to certain early public notification procedures whenever a change of ownership, major tenancy, or use occurs on the site. This rezone is one of approximately 50 P-1 Zone rezones that are being made to make Renton's Zoning Map consistent with its Comprehensive Land Use Map. Attached is a copy of the Council Committee Report recommending that staff proceed with the assimilation of the P-1 Zone into existing zones (see Exhibit "B",attached). Project Summary The subject rezone proposal is one of approximately 50 City sponsored rezones of publicly held properties in the City of Renton that are currently zoned Public Use(P-1)a zoning classification that the City has decided to get rid of. Reasons for not keeping this zoning classification include: 1. it allows too large an array of uses(every thing from public hospitals and schools to museums,offices,and libraries to fire stations,municipal airports and park and ride lots for transit patrons). In addition,uses such as heliports,major medical office buildings,and buildings over 50 feet in height are allowed as conditional uses; 2. such zones are often"spot"zones where there is only one lot or one owner for the area designated;and, 3. such zones are often subject to legal challenge because they are"spot"zones and do not represent a class or group of lots or multiple owners within a given area. 4. not all publicly held sites are zoned P-1 and,in fact,nearly half of the public schools in the area have zoning designations different that P-1 and many municipal buildings including City Hall do not have P-1 zoning at the current time;and, 5. these zones are not consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The intent of these rezones is too make the remaining P-1 zoned sites consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. To date approximately 41 formerly zoned P-1 sites have been rezoned to one of the City's new zoning classifications adopted in 1995. These rezones have been conducted over the last couple years and should be completed in late 1997 or early 1998. All former P- 1 zoned sites that were publicly owned will carry a so-called"P"suffix designating that they are publicly owned. Sites with this designation are required to give early public notification of any change of use,change in major tenancy,or change of ownership. Document2/ EXHIBIT `B' • EXHIBIT S8 . '� - PLANNING AND.DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE COMMITTEE REPORT (JUNE 6, 1994) PUBLIC USE ZONE REVISIONS • (Referred .5/24/94) The Committee recommends that staff proceed with the assimilation of the P-1 Zone into existing zones. The Committee also recommends that staff continue to work with all interested parties to address concerns of the Planning Commission and the Planning and Development Committee related to preserving the public trust and revising the development standards related to these uses. This action will allow staff to proceed in a timely manner with amendments to the Comprehensive Plan related to these public uses. The Committee will continue to work with staff on the remaining issues and report back to City Council prior to adoption of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code amendments. • The Committee recommends City Council concur in this report. • • C7e/ • • Kg0—ekg, Kathy Keg er-Wheeler, Chair „if . • Bob Edwards, Vice-Chair ..• • • R dy Corman, em er 0 • • • pdco ntpt CITY OF RENTON ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST Purpose of Checklist: The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probably significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. Instructions for Applicants: This environmental checklist ask you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impacts. Use of Checklist for Nonproject Proposals: (Please Type or Print Legibly) Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply". IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). For nonproject actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs), the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," proposer," and "affected geographic area," res iglcr, -pIN 1 6, 1997 DEVELOt-iviLNT PLANNING CITY OF RENTON • City of Renton Environmental Checklist 4/10/97 2 A.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (This sheet should only be used for actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs. Do not use this sheet for project actions.) Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment. When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms. 1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? There should be no change in any of these areas as a result of these proposed six rezones since no new development is proposed and the proposed new zoning designations do not allow for substantially different uses than are allowed under the current P-1 zoning. In addition, all six of these approved rezones will be proposed with a "P" suffix attached. This special designation requires additional public notification before any change in ownership, change in major tenancy, or change in use can occur on any of these sites after they are rezoned. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: Not applicable. See above response. 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life? There should be no change in any of these areas as a result of these proposed six rezones since no new development is proposed and the proposed new zoning designations do not allow for substantially different uses than are allowed under the current P-1 zoning. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals,fish, or marine life are: Not applicable. See above response. 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? The subject non-project proposal should have no impacts on energy or natural resources. No change of use is anticipated on any of the six sites being considered for rezones. The subject rezones are part of a series of approximately fifty (50) similar rezones that are necessary in order to phase out the Pubic Zone, a zone which is considered to be a "spot" zone that allows a wide array of different uses, many of which would have questionable land use compatibility with surrounding uses. New zoning is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and will afford a greater level of compatibility. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: None are proposed since no actions will be taken to deplete energy or natural resources. City of Rent n Environmental Checklist 4/10/97 14 4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands? The p oposed rezones should not adversely affect any of the six rezone sites under consideration. Because of the "P" suffix provisions additional protection of the six sites will exist. This is because before there can be a change of ownership, a change of major tenancy, or a change in use on any of these six sites the owners will be required to notify all residents and property owners within 300 feet of the proposed changes at least 60 days in advance of any such proposed changes. In addition, the two sites at the P-1 Forebay will receive Resource Conservation zoning which would allow considerable less development on these two sites than is allowed under the current P-1 zoning designation. Gene Coulon Park is proposed to receive R-8 zoning which allows for less intense uses than commonly allowed under the current P-1 zoning on this site. Whereas Liberty Park and the Cedar River Park would be rezoned to more intense zones, there is no intention of changing these uses, and were they to change there would be ample opportunity for public input because of the 60 day notification provisions under the "P" suffix provisions that would be attached at the time the six sites are rezoned under this proposal. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: Not applicable. The subject proposal is a non-project action. No new development is proposed as a consequence of these rezones. Please see Section D. below for further explanation. 5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? The subject rezones are unlikely to result in uses that are incompatible with existing land uses and shoreline uses. In fact,the new zones will provide greater predictability in terms of what future uses would be allowed and in most cases will allow for less intense uses than currently allowed under the P-1 Zone. As noted above, the two sites in the environmentally sensitive P-1 Channel Forebay will receive Resource Conservation zoning which is very restrictive as to permitted uses, basically limiting uses to passive agricultural type uses, uses like golf courses, and low density residential at one dwelling unit per each 10 acres. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: Although these rezones anticipate no new development, if such development does occur in the future it will have to comply with all relevant City codes including those pertaining to shorelines and , environmentally sensitive areas as well as comply with SEPA, unless categorically exempt. 6. How.would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? As noted above these are non-project legislative proposals that anticipate no immediate change of use or activities on the subject site or resulting changes in transportation, public services, or utilities. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: Not applicable for reasons stated above. City of Renton Environmental Checklist 4/10/97 15 7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. The subject non-action proposal is not in conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. In fact, it further complies with the State's Growth Management Act,the Shoreline Management Act, and the State Environmental Protection Act.
