regulations/standards to allow pet daycares, clarify the role and responsibilities
of the Arts Commission, place the CN zone in a design district and allow
commercial uses along S 4th St, clarify and refine approval criteria for Routine
Vegetation Management Permits, to allow projections into rear setbacks for
awnings, rain barrels, etc., and to implement Administrative Code
Interpretations already approved. These regulations would be citywide.

ironmental Review Committee Report
LUA 17-000066, ECF
Report of February 20, 2017 Page 2 of4
PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ BACKGROUND
Dl28 Pet Daycare. Allow "Doggy daycare" facilities in commercial areas with specific mitigation.
D129 Arts Commission Regulations. Clarify roles and responsibilities related to Renton Municipal
Arts Commission.
D130 Light Intensity Commercial. Add the Commercial Neighborhood zone to Design District D to
ensure new development has high quality design for pedestrians and environment. Also, allow
commercial uses, such as offices, in the R-14 zone along South 4th Street.
Dl31 Routine Vegetation Management Permit Criteria. Amend review criteria for a tree removal
permit within the Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations to consolidate four critical areas
criteria into one and to address other regulations, such as tree density and landscaping regulations.
D132 Projections into Setbacks. Allow porch awnings, pergolas, rain barrels, etc. to extend into
rear yards.
D-126 Administrative Code Interpretations: Administrative Code Interpretations are anticipated to
be adopted. These interpretations include:
• Reinstating a provision that was inadvertently removed regarding front and side yard along
a street setbacks for detached accessory structures in residential zones.
• Allowing for a SEPA exemption for the construction of new single family houses or additions
to houses situated on land with critical areas. The newly adopted critical areas regulations
and shoreline regulations provide sufficient environmental protections for infill projects.
• Allowing on-line retail storage lockers outside retail stores in the CN, CV, CA, CD, and CO
zones. No more than two "retail" units permitted outside a store, the maximum combined
width of the two units should be no more than 12 feet, the unit shall not block any openings
(windows and doors), and the unit shall not impede ADA accessibility.
• Resolution of a conflict: although Tier 1 Temporary Use Permits (TUP) are intended to
permit uses allowed by the base zone, model homes are listed as a Tier 2 TUP even though
single-family homes are permitted by zoning (they're converted into a home after most or
all houses in a subdivision are purchased).
• Clarification that notice of a Hearing Examiner public hearing should be similar to the
notices provided to inform the public that the Administrator will be rendering a decision by
replacing the posting of notices on site with posting of notice on the City's webpage.
• Resolution of a conflict by not requiring development in the RMF zone to abide by tree
density standards.
• Allowing easements, rather than requiring tracts, for projects that do not include the
subdivision of land.
• Requiring legal descriptions of each existing and proposed lot for proposed lot line
adjustments.
• Clarification that alleys are not required in newly created R6 zone.
• Clarification that outdoor storage is a permitted primary use in the Employment Area land
use designation.
• Clarification regarding the process, criteria, and fee amount for a Critical Areas Permit.
• Amendments regarding residential building height, including addition of a definition of
"attic," increasing the maximum wall plate height in the R-14 zone to 32' through a
Conditional Use Permit, and allowing deck railings above the maximum wall plate height to
be flush with the fa~ade if the railings are at least SO% transparent.

• Clarification regarding the minimum standards for varying lot width, lot area, front and rear
yard setbacks, and confirmation that the requirements only apply to lots in preliminary plats
(subdivisions of ten or more lots).
• Clarification that all R-6 standards are applicable to Small Lot Cluster Development, but
RMC 4-2-llOD.34 does not apply.
• Establishment of a flat $5,000 fee for all franchise fees.
• Resolution of a conflict by confirming that a Conditional Use Permit is required in order to
establish commercial uses in the R-14 zone.
• Allowance for corner lots to instead have two front yard setbacks and two side yard
setbacks (instead of a side yard setback and a rear yard setback).
• Requiring an eight foot landscaping strip to be located between a shared driveway and
abutting properties that are not part of the subdivision.
• Allowing internal directional and wayfinding signs for major institutions to direct vehicular
and pedestrian traffic.
• Prohibiting above ground drainage facilities to be counted towards common open space
requirements, establishes a maximum slope of 5% for common open space, and prohibits
obstructions (e.g., fences and retaining walls) from being within the common open space.
• Granting protection of off-site trees when branches extend into a property under
construction.
• Requiring five-year landscaping maintenance and performance sureties.
• Exemption for airplane manufacturing and changes of use only requiring interior tenant
improvements from the requirement of site plan review.
• Allowing PUDs to vary the prescribed dimensional standards for private open space if the
area requirement is still met.
• Refinement and expansion of options for attached garages by providing two new options to
meet design standards.
• Eliminating design standards that require a pitched roof as they are no longer necessary.
• Eliminating a date included in the definition of "Rate Study."
• Reinstating of approval criteria that was inadvertently deleted with a pervious ordinance.

1055 South Grady Way-Renton, WA 98057
Phone: 425-430-7200 Fax: 425-430-7231
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 probable
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 asks 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 impact.

0128 Pet Daycare. Allow "Doggy daycare" facilities in commercial areas with specific
mitigation.
0129 Arts Commission Regulations. Review and clarify roles and responsibilities related
to Renton Municipal Arts Commission.
0130 Light Intensity Commercial. Add the Commercial Neighborhood zone to Design
District D to ensure new development has high quality design far pedestrians and
. 2.
environment. Also, allow commercial uses, such os offices, in the R-14 zone along South
5th Street.
0131 Routine Vegetation Management Permit Criteria. The review criteria for a tree
removal permit (RMC 4-4-130H.5) within the Tree Retention ond Land Clearing
Regulations redundantly requires that the project complies with critical areas related
regulations with 4 different criteria. The tree removal criteria do not address other
regulations that ore critical for tree removal review, such as tree density and landscaping
regulations.
0132 Projections into Setbacks. Allow porch awnings, pergolas, rain barrels, etc. to
extend into rear yards.
0133 Administrative Code Interpretations. C/-79 -Applicable Front and Side Yard Along
o Street Setbacks to Detached Accessory Structures in Residential Zones: reinstates a
provision that was inadvertently removed from Title IV. Cl-80 -SEPA Exemption for
Single Family Residential Construction: exempts the construction of new single family
houses or additions to houses situated on land with critical areas (e.g., protected slopes,
very high landslide hazard areas, wetlands, 100 year floodway, and streams ond lakes)
from environmental (SEPA) review. The newly adopted critical areas regulations (ORD.
5757) and shoreline regulations (ORD. 5633) provide sufficient environmental
protections for infill projects. C/-81 -Outdoor Retail Vending and Storage Lockers for
Package Pick-up: Allows on-line retail storage lockers outside of retail stores in
commercial zones, in the CN, CV, CA, CD, and CO zones. No more than two "retail" units

more than 12 feet, the unit shall not block any openings (windows and doors), and the
unit shall not impede ADA accessibility. C/-82 -Rescinded. Cl-83 Modification of
Procedure to Allow for Model Homes in Subdivisions: C/-83 resolves a conflict: although
Tier 1 Temporary Use Permits (TUP) are intended to permit uses allowed by the base
zone, model homes are listed as a Tier 2 TUP even though single-family homes are
permitted by zoning (they're converted into a home after most or all houses in a
subdivision are purchased). C/-84 -Public Notice for Hearing Examiner Hearings: clarified
that notice of a Hearing Examiner public hearing should be similar to the notices
provided to inform the public that the Administrator will be rendering a decision by
replacing the posting of notices on site with posting of notice on the City's webpage. C/-
85 -Tree Density for the RMF: resolved a conflict by not requiring development in the
RMF zone to abide by tree density standards. C/-86 -Easements as Substitutions for
Tracts: If Title IV of Renton Municipal Cade requires the creation of a tract when an
application for land development does not propose the division of land, an easement
shall suffice for the tract. C/-87 -Legal Descriptions for Lot Line Adjustments: For the
purpose of reviewing a proposed lot line adjustment, the legal descriptions of proposed
lots are necessary. Lot Line Adjustment shall be required to provide the legal description
of each existing and proposed lot. C/-88 -Required Alley Access: clarified alleys are not
required in newly created R6 zone. C/-89 -Outdoor Storage: clarifies that outdoor
storage is a permitted primary use in the Employment Area land use designation. C/-90 -
Critical Area Permit Implementation: clarifies the process, criteria, and fee amount for a
Critical Areas Permit. C/-91 -Modifications of Residential Building Height Standards:
adds a definition of "attic," allows the maximum wall plate height to be increased in the
R-14 zone to 32' through a Conditional Use Permit, and allows deck railings located
above the maximum waif plate height to be flush with the fai;ade if the railings are at
least 50% transparent. Cl-92 -Residential Zone Lot Configuration Requirements and
Dimensional Standards Averaging: clarifies the minimum standards for varying lot width,
lot area, front and rear yard setbacks, and confirms that the requirements only apply to
lots in preliminary plats (subdivisions of ten or more lots). C/-93 -Modification of
Development Standards in the R-4 zone for Small Lot Cluster Developments: clarifies that
all R-6 standards would be applicable to Small Lot Cluster Development, but RMC 4-2-
. 3.
1100.34 does not apply. C/-94 -Application Fee for Franchises: establishes a flot fee of
$5,000 for all franchise fees. Cl-95 -On-and Off-site Services in the R-14 Zone:
reconciles o conflict by confirming that a Conditional Use Permit is required in order to
establish commercial uses in the R-14 zone. C/-96 -Modification of Development
Standards in residential zones for Single Family Residential ond Residential Multi-family
Corner Lots: allows corner lots to instead hove two front yard setbacks and two side yard
setbacks (instead of a side yard setback and a rear yard setback. C/-97 -Shared
Driveway Landscaping: requires an eight foot landscaping strip ta be located between a
shared driveway and abutting properties that are not part of the subdivision. C/-98 -
Signage far Multi-Family Complexes: Allows internal directional and wayfinding signs for
major institutions to direct vehicular and pedestrian traffic. C/-99 -Common Open Space
Requirements in the R-10 and R-14 Zones: Prohibits above ground drainage facilities to

5% Jar common open space, and prohibits obstructions (e.g., fences and retaining walls)
from being within the common open space. C/-100 -Offsite Tree Protection Measures
During Construction: Grants protection of off-site trees whose branches extend into a
property under construction. C/-101 Landscaping Sureties: Requires five-year
londscoping maintenance and performance sureties. Cl-102 -Site Plan Review
Requirements: Exempts airplane manufacturing and changes of use only requiring
interior tenant improvements from the requirement of site plan review. C/-103 -Open
Space Requirements for Planned Urban Developments: Allows PUDs to vary the
prescribed dimensional standards for private open space if the area requirement is still
met. Cl-104 -Recessed Garage and Primary Entry: Refines and expands options for
attached garages by providing two new options to meet design standards. C/-105 -Roof
Pitch Design: eliminates design standards that require a pitched roof as they are no
longer necessary. C/-106 -Definition of Rate Study: Eliminates a date included in the
definition of "Rate Study."C/-107-Live Work Units: Reinstates approval criteria that was
inadvertently deleted with a pervious ordinance.
