MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 3, 1998
TO: ERC Committee
FROM: Mike Kattermann,Director tNeighborhoodsandStrategicTanning
STAFF CONTACT: Rebecca Lind(ext.6588)
SUBJECT: Policy and Map Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan Removing
the West Hill Area from Renton's Potential Annexation Area
ISSUE:
Amend the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map by removing the area known as the West Hill from
Renton's Potential Annexation Area (PAA) as shown the map dated July 30, 1998 (Attachment A).
The properties east of Rainier Blvd., which are subject to a current pre-zoning process, would be
excluded.
Amend the Land Use Element Policies and Text to support this change by distinguishing between the
purpose of the PAA and the Urban Growth Area, and by adding definitions and explanatory
discussion(Attachment B).
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution"Declaring an Emergency in Order to Consider Policy and Map Amendments to
the Comprehensive Plan".
Set a Public Hearing for September 14, 1998.
Refer the proposed map and text amendments shown on Attachments A and B to the Planning and
Development Committee for review and recommendation prior to the Public Hearing of September
14, 1998
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) of King County is currently considering
amendments to the Countywide Planning Policies which would clarify commitments required of cities
within designated PAAs and formally adopt PAA boundaries. The GMPC is scheduled to act on these
amendments on September 16, 1998. Once adopted, these boundaries and policies can only be amended
through the countywide planning policies and ratification by GMPC member jurisdictions. Portions of the
MINE
August 3, 1998
Page 2
urban area outside of designated PAAs will be subject to a more extensive review process involving local
citizens, King County and other jurisdictions prior to designation of PAA boundaries. Renton's action to
remove the West Hill area from its PAA would trigger that review process.
The West Hill area was included in Renton's PAA in 1993 prior to the adoption of the Countywide
Planning Policies and development of the current concept of a "PAA". The West Hill area was included
because it is in the Renton School District and because, at that time, the City Council supported
annexation of all areas surrounding Renton which other jurisdictions were not actively committed to. The
City did not give full consideration to future service areas, ranges of services and the cost of service
because these issues were analyzed only upon actual annexation.
As a result of several annexation and incorporation studies,the City was eventually able to assess service
needs and potential fiscal impacts of service in many portions of Renton's PAA. These studies include:
Fairwood/Cascade Vista: "North Soos Creek Fiscal Impact Study" 1989,
East Renton Plateau: Burnstead Annexation proposal 1995, The Maplewood Annexation proposal
1996, "Feasibility Study for the Proposed City of Briarwood" 1997,
May Valley Prezone 1997; and
Comprehensive Plan Amendment M-2 for the properties east of Rainier Blvd., 1998
In the case of the West Hill area, similar information about service needs and fiscal impacts is not
available, and will not be prior to the scheduled GMPC review of the proposed Countywide Policy
amendments. The interests of the City and the residents of the West Hill will be served by a more
thorough review of the area prior to GMPC adoption of PAA boundaries.
Land Use Element Policy amendments will also be needed to distinguish between the West Hill Area and
other Urban Areas which will remain within Renton's PAA. The City is also proposing an amendment to
Land Use Element Policy LU-378 referencing "Potential Annexation Areas" as shown on the City's
Adopted Land Use Map. Policy LU-378.1 is proposed for deletion. This policy states that "Renton's
Urban Growth Area also represents its Potential Annexation Area". In addition the discussion text is
amended to reflect the difference between the Urban Growth Area and the Potential Annexation Area.
The term"Potential Annexation Area"is added to the Glossary.
CONCLUSION
Emergency action on the part of Renton will trigger additional review of the service issues and future
governance options for the West Hill Area. It is important that Renton take this action prior to GMPC
adoption of PAA boundaries and a new set of policies guiding a regional approach to Potential
Annexation Areas. Without this action, Renton could be required to assume undefined responsibilities
and commitments in the West Hill area.

Project Narrative July 29, 1998
Emergency Comprehensive Plan Amendment 98-M-12 to remove the West Hill Community Planning
Area from Renton's Potential Annexation Area and 98-T-10 to amend the Annexation Policies and
discussion and to add the term Potential Annexation of the Glossary of the Comprehensive Plan. •
The City is proposing to amend the Land Use Map by removing the area known as the West Hill from
Renton's Potential Annexation Area(PAA). The properties east of Rainier Blvd.,which are subject to
a current pre-zoning process,would be excluded from this proposal. The proposed map amendment is
shown on Attachment A.
The Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) of King County is currently considering
amendments to the Countywide Planning Policies which would clarify commitments required of
cities with designated PAAs and formally adopt PAA boundaries. The West Hill area was included in
Renton's PAA in 1993 prior to the adoption of the Countywide Planning Policies and development of
the current concept of a"PAA".At that time,the Renton City Council did not have the opportunity to
give full consideration to issues regarding future service areas,ranges of services and processes which
may be required within the PAAs. In the case of the West Hill area, Renton finds that the interests of
the City and the residents of the West Hill will be served by a more thorough review of the area prior
to GMPC adoption of PAA boundaries.
The City is also proposing an amendment to Land Use Element Policy LU-378 referencing Potential
Annexation Areas as shown on the City's Adopted Land Use Map. Policy LU-378.1,which states that
Renton's Urban Growth Area also represents its Potential Annexation Area," is proposed for
deletion. The Discussion text is amended to reflect the difference between the Urban Growth Area
and the Potential Annexation Area. The term"Potential Annexation Area"is added to the Glossary.

Proposed Policy Amendments to the Land Use Element.
RECEIVED
July 29, 1998
Policy LU-377. The City should continue to recognize the area within the sphere of influence
boundary as the territory in which the City of Renton has an inherent interest in future land use
decisions.
Policy LU-378. The City should encourage annexation of all territory within itsthe Potential
Annexation Area, as depicted on the City's adopted land use map.Urba Growth pro„
Policy LU 378.1 Renton's established Urban Growth Area (UGA) also represents its Potential
Annexation Area(PAA).
Policy LU-379. Encourage annexation where the availability of infrastructure and services allow for
the development of urban densities. Renton should be the primary service provider of urban in-
frastructure and services in the resultant area provided that the City can offer such services in an
efficient and cost-effective manner.
Policy LU-380. The immediate areas for annexation to the City of Renton should include the
territory contiguous with boundaries of the City such as:
a. peninsulas and islands of unincorporated land;
b. neighborhoods where municipal services have been extended;
c. vacant lands subject to development pressure;
d. developed areas where urban services are needed to correct degradation of natural resources;
e. lands which are available for urbanization under county comprehensivecom prchcnsive plan,
zoning, and subdivision regulations; and
f. aquifer recharge areas.
Policy LU-381. Establish and maintain an Urban Growth Area. The following criteria should be the
basis of establishing such a line:
a. location of environmentally sensitive areas;
b. desired density for future development;
c. population allocation;
d. efficient utilization of urban infrastructure, such as sewer,water and roads;
e. coordination of sewer extension in Water District 90;
f. adopted plans and policies of the City and King County;
g. coordination of development standards between jurisdictions; and,
h. identification of community separator areas.
Discussion: The Urban Growth Area defines the -art area within which urban level of development
will occur. The Potential Annexation Area indicates an area within people have an opportunity to
annex to the City of Renton. Given a number of factors such as topography, existing and planned
land uses, population, fiscal concerns, transportation systems, sewer and water utilities,
governmental services, and community values, the Potential Annexation Area this area may
eventually become a part of Renton.
The Potential Annexation Area Urban Growth Boundary establishes the geographic limits of future
annexation actions. It marks urban growth areas within the county that could eventually become a
occur beyond this boundary. Just because a
proposed annexation is located within the annexation area, however, does not guarantee its approval.
Any annexation proposal is subject to the appropriate review and approval process.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST JUL* L18
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: PCEIVEDTheStateEnvironmentalPolicyAct(SEPA),Chapter 43.21C RCW,requires all governmental agencies to cons' er e
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.
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS:
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,"
respectively.
