First, amending the Urban Growth Boundary to include an irregularly shaped 4 acre site located on the south side of SE Lake Youngs Way between 137th Avenue SE, if extended, and 139th Avenue SE, if extended, in the area between Soos Creek and the Lake Youngs watershed. Since the site is on the east side of Soos Creek it would remain in Renton's Potential Annexation Area. Second, amending Renton's Comprehensive Plan to reflect this new addition to Renton's PAA and designating it under Renton's Comprehensive Plan as Residential Single Family. The County has proposed designating the site Urban on their Comprehensive Plan and rezoning it to R- 6-P. Immediately to the north of the site across SE Lake Youngs Way is an urban residential neighborhood called Forest Glen South. This urban neighborhood is currently zoned R-6 by the County. With a Residential Single Family designation this site would likely be rezoned to Residential - 8 DU/AC if and when it is annexed into the City. The 4 acre site became `Urban"under the County's "4 to 1"Program in 1997. This program allows sites contiguous to the Urban Growth Boundary to be brought into the Urban Area when an area four times as large and contiguous to it is preserved as permanent open space. To be considered a candidate for the "4 to 1" Program the urban portion of the site must be served by water, sewer and transportation. The proponents agreed to preserve 16 acres of undeveloped open space contiguous to the site that has wetlands and a stream running through it.

First, amending the Urban Growth Boundary to include an irregularly shaped a 4 acre site located on the south side of SE Lake Youngs Way between 137th Avenue SE, if extended, and 139th Avenue SE, if extended, in the area between Soos Creek and the Lake Youngs watershed. Since the site is on the east side of Soos Creek it would remain in Renton's Potential Annexation Area. Second, amending Renton's Comprehensive Plan to reflect this new addition to Renton's PAA and designating it under Renton's Comprehensive Plan as Residential Single Family. The County has proposed designating the site Urban on their Comprehensive Plan and rezoning it to R-6-P Immediately to the north of the site across SE Lake Youngs Way is an urban residential neighborhood called Forest Glen South. This urban neighborhood is currently zoned R-6 by the County. With a Residential Single Family designation this site would likely be rezoned to Residential- 8 DU/AC at the time it is annexed into the City. The 4 acre site became "urban" under the County's "4 to 1" Program in 1997. This program allows sites contiguous to the Urban Growth Boundary to be brought into the Urban Area when an area four times as large and contiguous to it is preserved as permanent open space.

The proponents agreed to preserve 16 acres of undeveloped open space contiguous to the site that has wetlands and a stream running through it. ISSUE SUMMARY: 1. What intensity of residential use does the City envision on the subject site and are these substantially different from King County is proposing? 2. Given the site's proximity to Soos Creek and an existing County Park, would Residential Rural be a more appropriate designation that Residential Single Family? 3. Would a Residential Rural designation be in conflict with King County's Comprehensive Plan and undermine the their"4 to 1"Program? RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY: That the Urban Growth Boundary shown on Renton's Comprehensive Plan be amended to incorporate the urban portion of the Ruth "4 to 1" and that this addition to Renton's PAA be given a Residential Single Family land use designation. ANALYSIS: King County Comprehensive Plan Policies 1-204 and 1-205, adopted in 1994 provided for the establishment of King County's "4 to 1" Program. A total area of 4,000 acres could be added RUTHAMND.DOC\ 3/11/98 to the Urban Growth Area as a result of this policy if it has a Rural Area designation and is not agriculturally zoned. It also suggested that open spaces resulting from the program should be configured in such a way as to connect with open space on adjacent properties and generally parallel the Urban Growth Area line. It also established that the minimum size of property to be considered would be 20 acres. Policy 1-204 also requires King County to consult with and solicit recommendations from cities when proposals are adjacent to city boundaries or Potential Annexation Areas which King County did beginning in the fall of 1996. Policy 1-204 stipulates that land added to the Urban Growth Area under this policy shall be limited to residential development and shall be at a minimum density of four dwelling units per acre. In order to be consistent with the County's policies Renton could designate this four acre site either Residential Rural, which allows a maximum density of five dwellings per acre or Residential Single Family which allows a density of 8.0 dwellings per acre on its Comprehensive Plan. Prior to redesignating the subject site to Urban Residential on its Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map with a density range of 4 to 12 DU/AC, the County had designated it Rural Residential, with a density range of between 1 dwelling unit per ten (10) acres to one dwelling unit per 2.5 acres. It was also zoned Rural Area-5 which allowed one dwelling unit per five 5) acres. Because the site abuts a County owned park to the west and environmentally sensitive open space to the south and east a strong argument could be made that it should have the lower Residential Rural (5 DU/AC) designation, rather than the Residential Single Family (8 DU/AC) designation. A land use designation of 5 DU/AC would be one unit less per acre than what the County is now allowing with its Urban-6-P zoning. The City, however, went on record in its letter of March 27, 1997 to then King County Executive Ron Sims regarding the Ruth "4 to 1" Program Site Referral, stating that we supported their proposed Residential-6-P (6 DU/AC) on this site and stating that this would be consistent with Renton's earlier Comprehensive Plan 1993) which had shown this area having a Residential Single Family land use designation. Therefore, in order to be consistent staff believe we should support this earlier recommendation. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN COMPLIANCE: Residential Single Family would allow density at a higher density than what is now allowed by the County under its existing urban zoning. The County's R-6-P Zone allows residential only at a density of six dwelling units per acre whereas Renton's Residential Single Family designation presupposes zoning to Residential - 8, at eight dwelling units per acre. Residential Single Family is generally consistent with existing City policies particularly Policy LU-39 which states that new single family neighborhoods should be compatible with adjacent single family areas. Development under the R-8 Zone would result in development at a slightly higher density that that allowed under the County's R-6 zoning in the area. RUTHAMND.DOC\ 3/11/98 CONCLUSION: Amending Renton's Urban Growth Boundary to reflect the four acres of the Ruth"4 to 1" that became urban in 1997 is consistent with existing County and City growth management policies. Giving this extension to Renton's PAA a Residential Single Family land use designation on the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map would be consistent with an earlier designation Renton placed on this area in 1993, before these earlier boundaries were modified by the County. Such a designation is also consistent with what the City implied it would be in our letter of March 27m 1997 in which we supported the County's proposed R-6- P• zoning and Urban Residential land use designation. The"P" suffix signifies that the subject property is part of King County's"4 to 1"Program. RUTHAMND.DOC\ 3/11/98 SE 2 1st S SE 201st St iiilII PI 1 11heSE 2U2nd St is growl mip.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS: 98-M-6 This sheet should only be used for actions involving decisions on policies,plans and programs. Do not use this sheet for project actions.) 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. NOTE: The following responses on this Supplemental Sheet are tailored to City of Renton sponsored Land Use Map designation changes. Comprehensive Plan Amendment 98-M-6 relates to this Land Use Map change. 1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production, stoi age, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? Thi: non-project CPA is not anticipated to change any of these areas since no new development is pro'.osed. At the time new development does occur on this four acre site, whether in response to this mar amendment or concurrent rezoning, it will have to, unless exempt, comply with SEPA and its imp lets disclosed. This amendment allows for consistency between the Land Use Map and recent revi;ions to the Urban Growth Boundary made by King County.. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: Not applicable. 2. Hove would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life? This non-project CPA is not anticipated to change any of these areas since no new development is proposed. The impacts of individual projects are determined on a site specific basis. The amendment recognizes the recent modification to the Urban Growth Boundary by King County when it approved this '4 to l' proposal.. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: Not cpplicable for this non-project action at this time. 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? This non-project CPA is not anticipated to change either of these areas since no new development is proposed. The impacts of individual projects will be determined on a site specific basis. Prop osed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: Not applicable. 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? This:ion-project CPA is not anticipated to change any of these areas since no new development is proposed at this time. The impacts of individual projects are determined on a site specific basis. The amendment recognizes the recent modification to the UGB when King County approved the Ruth "4 to 1" proposal. In exchange for these four acres being allowed to come into the Urban Area,the applicants were required to dedicate 16 abutting acres for permanent open space and wildlife habitat. CPASEPA.DO(: City of Renton Environmei...a.Checklist 3/26/98 Page 12 Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: Not applicable. 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? This non-project CPA is not anticipated to change any of these areas since no new development is proposed. The impacts of individual projects such as a future subdivision will be determined on a site specific basis. The adjustment to the UGA boundary will not encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: Although Soos Creek runs nearby the site it is not considered to be a shoreline of statewide significance and is not under shorelines jurisdiction. On a site specific basis,new development would,unless SEPA exempt, be reviewed for potential land use impacts and appropriate mitigation measures likely applied. 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? No impacts to transportation or public services and utilities are anticipated since no new development is proposed at this time. County zoning would allow up to six dwelling units per acre, or 24 units on this 4.0 acre area. Single-family residential is assumed to have an average of 10 vehicle trip ends per average weekday per dwelling unit. Thus, 24 units would be anticipated to result in an additional 240 vehicle trip ends per day. The impacts of individual projects will be determined on a site specific basis at the time development is actually proposed. Given that the County has already incorporated this area into the UGH and will rezone it to R-6-P,Renton's adjusting its Land Use Map to reflect this change is not anticipated to generate any new impacts not anticipated by the County. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: City and County concurrency policies will help ensure that increased demands on transportation or public services and utilities are met in a timely manner for new development. 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-project CPA is not in conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. In fact,the proposed CPA is intended to be in compliance with the State's Growth Management Act,the Shoreline Management Act, and the State Environmental Protection Act.

It is understood that the lead agency may withdraw any declaration of non- significance that it might issue in reliance upon this checklist should there be any willful misrepresentation or willful lack of full disclosure on my part.
