' 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 24, 1997. No requests for reconsideration or appeals were received during the appeal period which
ended December 8, 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 RC.

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
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-i rezones will be identified with a"P"
suffix.
The property which is the subject of this hearing is approximately 9,086 square feet in size and is located in the
area north of Monster Road SW and south of the outflow from the King County pump station across from
properties under City of Renton ownership on the north side of the P-1 Channel,at approximately 556 Monster
Road SW. The applicant has requested the site be rezoned from P-1 to RC which is the Resource Conservation
'Zone. According to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map,the area adjacent to this property is zoned RC.
In conclusion,Mr.Erickson recommended that the Washington State P-1 Drainage Channel be rezoned from
P-1 to RC 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
flexibility in the regulatory processes by allowing for a variety of zone designations in the Employment Area-
Valley designation,the provision and maintenance of surface water management drainage systems to minimize
impacts on natural systems and protect public properties,to protect and enhance water quality of surface water
resources; and the rezone is consistent with previous rezones of other nearby properties along the drainage
channel to the Resource Conservation 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 11:45 a.m.
FINDINGS.CONCLUSIONS&RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
Having reviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
1. The applicant,City of Renton,filed a request to reclassify the subject site from P-1 (Public/Quasi-
public)to RC(Resource Conservation).
•

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.
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 consists of approximately 9,810 square feet of property owned by the State of
Washington. The site is an irregularly shaped parcel located north of Monster.Road SW where it
curves to the east after dropping off the hill. The address would be approximately 556 Monster Road
SW. '
9. The City proposes designating the site RC(Resource Conservation). This zoning would match the
zoning attached to the nearby property that includes the P-1 Channel and forebay pond. 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.
110. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of employment generating uses where appropriate,but does not mandate
such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. The area including the pond and
Black River channel is currently undeveloped and supports wildlife habitat.
11. The adjacent King County site to the east-northeast is also the subject of a similar rezone request.

12. Zoning in the area consists of two predominant zoning districts. A series of industrial districts are
located west,northwest and south of the subject site. Most of the areas east of the site are zoned RC,
the category requested for the subject site.
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 very generic employment generating uses
but permits public.utilities and storm water management to protect the public health,safety and
welfare. The proposed zoning matches the zoning of surrounding property.
4. While changes to the area have not been substantia,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.RC with the P-
suffix as proposed.

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 24, 1997. No requests for reconsideration or appeals were received during the appeal period which
ended December 8, 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.RC.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve.

November 24, 1997

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
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 9,086 square feet in size and is located in the
area north of Monster Road SW and south of the outflow from the King County pump station across from
properties under City of Renton ownership on the north side of the P-1 Channel,at approximately 556 Monster
Road SW. The applicant has requested the site be rezoned from P-1 to RC which is the Resource Conservation
Zone. According to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map,the area adjacent to this property is zoned RC.
In conclusion,Mr.Erickson recommended that the Washington State P-1 Drainage Channel be rezoned from
P-1 to RC 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
flexibility in the regulatory processes by allowing for a variety of zone designations in the Employment Area-
Valley designation,the provision and maintenance of surface water management drainage systems to minimize
impacts on natural systems and protect public properties,to protect and enhance water quality of surface water
resources; and the rezone is consistent with previous rezones of other nearby properties along the drainage
channel to the Resource Conservation 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 11:45 a.m.
FINDINGS,CONCLUSIONS &RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
' Having reviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
1. The applicant,City of Renton, filed a request to reclassify the subject site from P-1 (Public/Quasi-
public)to RC(Resource Conservation).

File No.: LUA-97-117,R

Page 3
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. •
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 consists of approximately 9,810 square feet of property owned by the State of
Washington. The site is an irregularly shaped parcel located north of Monster Road SW where it
curves to the east after dropping off the hill. The address would be approximately 556 Monster Road
SW.
9. The City proposes designating the site RC(Resource Conservation). This zoning would match the
zoning attached to the nearby property that includes the P-1 Channel and forebay pond. 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.
10. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of employment generating uses where appropriate,but does not mandate
such development without consideration of other policies of the Plan. The area including the pond and
Black River channel is currently undeveloped and supports wildlife habitat.
11. The adjacent King County site to the east-northeast is also the subject of a similar rezone request.

November 24, 1997
Page 4
12. Zoning in the area consists of two predominant zoning districts. A series of industrial districts are
located west,northwest and south of the subject site. Most of the areas east of the site are zoned RC,
the category requested for the subject site.
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 very generic employment generating uses
but permits public utilities and storm water management to protect the public health,safety and
welfare. 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 RC with the P-
suffix as proposed.

1. Section 4-8-14.C., Change of Zone Classification(Rezone)
2. Section 4-31-9,Public Use Zone(P-1)
3. Section 4-31-4.1,Resource Conservation Zone
} F. APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
Objective LU-FF:Provide flexibility in the regulatory processes by allowing for a variety of zone designations in
the Employment Area-Valley designation.
Objective U-F:Provide and maintain surface water management of drainage systems to minimize impacts on -
natural systems and to protect the public property, surface water bodies, and ground water from
water quantity and quality problems.
Objective EN-B:Protect and enhance water quality of surface water resources.
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
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.

PROJECT NAME: Washington State P-1 Channel P-1 Rezone, LUA-97-117,ECF,R
PUBLIC HEARING DATE:November 4, 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 WITH REZONE 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. Properties to the north
and east were rezoned in June; 1993 to the Resource Corporation (RC) Zone and, properties to the west
were rezoned to the Industrial Medium (IlVI) 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 Resource Conservation
Zone based upon the fact that it is designated on the City's Comprehensive Land Use Map as Employment
Area -Valley. Under this designation a variety of zoning classifications are allowed in order to provide
regulatory flexibility.
Objective LU-EE states:Provide flexibility in the regulatory processes by allowing for a variety of zone
designations in the Employment Area-Valley designation.
The proposed rezone is also consistent with Objectives U-F and EN-B since it will not change any of the
uses in the existing drainage system and in fact the proposed RC Zone allows much less development than
would normally be allowed under the existing P-1 Zone. Exhibit D is a comparative matrix of the two
zones. This is because there are a whole array of different uses allowed under the P-1 Zone,and building
heights are 50 feet and,with administrative approval, can be increased up to 90 feet. Allowed uses range
from wastewater(sewage)treatment plants and airports to schools and hospitals.

PROJECT NAME: Washington State P-1 Channel P-1 Rezone, LUA-97-117,ECF,R
PUBLIC HEARING DATE:November 4, 1997 Page 5 of 5
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 Washington State P-1 Channel P-1 Rezone,File No.LUA-97-117,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 objectives that encourage flexibility in the regulatory processes by allowing
for a variety of zone designations in the Employment Area-Valley designation,the provision and maintenance
of surface water management drainage systems to minimize impacts on natural systems and protect public
properties,to protect and enhance water quality of surface water resources.
3. The rezone is consistent with previous:rezones of other nearby properties along the drainage channel to the
Resource Conservation 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.

Project Proposal
(GR 43)
Rezone the State of Washington Department of Natural Resources P-1 Drainage Channel Pump Station
Forebay Property from its current Public Use (P-1) zoning to Resource Conservation(RC) 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 9,810 sq. ft.
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
in the Cityof Renton that are currentlyzoned Public Use
properties (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.

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,alicieEteEWEVIly.

remnants of earlier Indian civilizations were previously discovered along portions of the former
Earlington Golf Course.
c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts, if any:
None are necessary. The subject proposal is a legislative non-project action that is not
anticipated to change any uses or development on any of six sites. Subsequent development, if
any,will have to comply with SEPA, unless categorically exempt.
14. TRANSPORTATION
a. Identify public streets and highways serving the site, and describe proposed access to the
existing street system. Show on site plans, if any.
The existing public parks and municipal airport have relatively good public access along
existing public streets. Only the two waterway retention sites have limited public vehicular
access which is appropriate since they are located in a shorelines "Conservancy"environment.
b. Is site currently served by public transit? If not,what is the approximate distance to the-
nearest transit stop?
Since all six sites are non-project actions with no anticipated development occurring as a result
of these rezones, proximity to public transit is not relevant. For the record four of the six sites

D. 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 Renton Environmental Checklist
4/10/97

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 proposed 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 III
before there can be a change of ownership, a change of major tenancy, or a change in use on any of I
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 II
designation. Gene Coulon Park is proposed to receive R-8 zoning which allows for less intense uses !I
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 I
uses, and were they to change there would be ample opportunity for public input because of the 60 I I
day notification provisions under the "P" suffix provisions that would be attached at the time the six
II
sites are rezoned under this proposal. i I
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: I
I
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. I I
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would :I
allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? 'I I
1.
The subject rezones are unlikely to result in uses that are incompatible with existing land uses and II
shoreline uses. In fact, the new zones will provide greater predictability in terms of what future uses !I
would be lallowed and in most cases will allow/ for less intense uses than currently allowed under the I
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 1
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 I I
utilities? 1
As noted above these are non-project legislatil a proposals that anticipate no immediate change of use II
or activities on the subject site or resulting changes in transportation, public services, or utilities. ;I
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: 'I
Not applicable for reasons stated above.

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.

Project Proposal
(GR-43)
Rezone the State of Washington Department of Natural Resources P-1 Drainage Channel Pump Station
Forebay Property from its current Public Use (P-1) zoning to Resource Conservation(RC) 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 9,810 sq. ft.
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.

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 Nonproiect 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 aicaCEMEDly.

existing public streets. Only the two waterway retention sites have limited public vehicular
access which is appropriate since they are located in a shorelines "Conservancy"environment.
b. Is site currently served by public transit? If not,what is the approximate distance to the-
nearest transit stop?
Since all six sites are non-project actions with no anticipated development occurring as a result
of these rezones, proximity to public transit is not relevant. For the record four of the six sites
have relatively good access to public transit.
c. How many parking spaces would the completed project have? How many would the
project eliminate?
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.
d. Will the proposal require any new roads or streets, or improvements to existing roads or
streets, not including driveways? If so, generally describe (indicate whether public or
private?
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.

e. Will the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of)water, rail, or air
transportation? If so, generally describe.
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.

f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project? If
known, indicate when peak volumes would occur. I
Not applicable. The subject proposal is a non-project action. No new development is proposed
as a consequence of these rezones. Pleasel see Section D. below for further explanation.
g. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any:
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.
15. PUBLIC(SERVICES
a. Would the project result in an.increased need for public services (for example: fire
protection, police protection, health calre, schools, other)? If so, generally describe.
I
No. No new development is anticipated as a result of these six proposed rezones.
b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any.
No anticipated increase impacts on public services are anticipated as a result of these rezones.
I
16. UTILITIES
a. Circle utilities currently available at the site: electricity, natural gas,water, refuse service,
telephone, sanitary sewer, septic system, other.
Four of the six rezone sites have all basic urban services. Services at the two P-1 Forebay sites ;1
are unknown, however, since no development is proposed on these sites at this time this should
not be all that relevant.
b. Describe the utilities that are proposed for the project, the utility providing the service,
and the general construction activities on the site or in the immediate vicinity which might
be needed. j
No new utilities are proposed as a result of these six rezones.

D. 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.

4. How would the proposal be likely to use for 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 proposed rezones should not adversely affect any of the six rezone sites under consideration.
Because of the"P" suffix provisions addition l 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 siites the owners will be required ton tify all residents and property owners within 300 feet
of the proposed changes at least 60 days in ad ance of any such proposed changes. In addition, the
two sites 1 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 toJJ 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. I
Proposed measures to protect such resource 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 in ompatible with existing plans? '
,I
The subject rezones are unlikely to result in u es that are incompatible with existing land uses and
shoreline uses. In fact, the new zones will pro ide 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 th 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 ike golf courses, and low density residential at one
dwelling unit per each 10 acres.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shore}ine and land use impacts are:
Although these rezones anticipate no new development,l 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? ; .1
I
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.

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.
