Project Actions; A project action involves a decision on a specific project, such as a construction or management activity locatedin a defined geographic area. Projects include and are limited to agency decisions to: a. License, fund, or undertake any activity that will directly modify the environment, whether the activity will be conducted by the agency, an applicant,, or under contract. b. ` Purchase, sell, lease, ; transfer, or exchange natural` resources, including publicly t. 4.6-25 1' owned land, whether or not the environment is directly modified. 2.

"Actions" do not include the activities listed above when an agency is not involved. Actions do not include bringing judicial or administrative civil or "criminal enforcement actions (certain categorical exemptions in Part Nine identify in more detail governmental activities that would not have any environmental impacts and for which SEPA review is not required). ADDENDUM: An environmental document used to provide additional information or analysis that does not substantially change the analysis of significant impacts and alternatives in the existing environmental document. The term does not include supplemental EISs. An addendum may, be used at any time during the SEPA process. ADOPTION: An agency's use of all or part of an existing environmental document to meet all or part of the agency s responsibilities under SEPA to prepare an )IS or other environmental document.' AFFECTED TRIBE: Affected tribe or ".treaty tribe" means any Indian tribe, band, nation or community in the _State of Washington, that is federally recognized by the United States Secretary of the 4-6-25 Interior and that will or may be affected by the proposal. AFFECTING: Having, or may be having, an effect on (see; WAC 197-11-762 on impacts). For purposes of deciding whether an EIS is required and what the EIS' must cover, "affecting" refers to having probable,' significant adverse; environmental impacts (RCW 43.21.C.031 and 43.21C.110[1][c]). AGENCY: A. "Agency" means any state or local governmental body, board, commission, department,, or officer' authorized to make law, hear contested cases, or otherwise take the actions stated in WAC 197-11-704 except the judiciary and state legislature. An agency is any state agency (WAC 197-11-796) or local agency (WAC 197-11-762). B. "Agency with environmental expertise" means an agency with special expertise on the environmental' impacts involved in a proposal or alternative significantly affecting the environment. These agencies are listed in WAC' 197-11-920; the list may be in agency, procedures (WAC 197-11-906). The appropriate agencies must be consulted' in the environmental ` impact statement process, as required by WAC 197-11-502. C. "Agency with jurisdiction" means an 'agency with authority'to approve, veto; or finance all or part of a nonexempt proposal (or part of a proposal). The term does not include an agency authorized to adopt rules or standards of general applicability and could apply to a proposal, when no license or approval is required from the agency for the specific proposal. The term also does not include 'a local,' state or Federal agency' involved in approving a grant or loan, that serves only as a conduit between the primary administering agency'and the recipient of the grant or loan. Federal agencies with : jurisdiction are those from which a license or funding is sought or required. D. I£ a, specific agency bas been named in these rules, and the functions of that agency have changed or been ' transferred to another agency, the term shall mean any successor agency. E. For those proposalsrequiringa hydraulic project approval under RCW 75.20.100," both 4-6-25 the Department of Game and the Department of Fisheries shall be considered agencies with jurisdiction. APPLICANT: Any person or entity, including an agency, applying for a license from an agency. Application means a request for a license. BUILT ENVIRONMENT: The elements of the environment as specified by RCW 43.21C.110(1)(f) and 197-11.444(2), which are generally built or made by people as contrasted with natural processes. CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION: A type of action, specified in these rules, which does not significantly affect the environment (RCW 43.21C.110[1][a]); categorical exemptions are found in Part Nine of these rules. Neither a threshold, determination nor any environmental document, including an environmental checklist or environmental impact statement, is required for any categorically exempt action (RCW 43.21C.031). These rules provide for those circumstances in which a specific action that would fit within`a categorical exemption shall not be considered categorically exempt ;"(WAC 197-11-305): CONSOLIDATED APPEAL: The procedure requiring a person to file an agency appeal challenging both procedural and substantive compliance with SEPA at the' same time, as provided under RCW 43-21.00765(3)(b) and the exceptions therein. If any agency does not have an appeal procedure for challenging either the agency's procedural or its substantive SEPA determinations, the appeal cannot be consolidated prior to any judicial review. The requirement for a consolidated appeal does not preclude' agencies' from bifurcating appeal proceedings and allowing different 'agency officials to hear different aspects of the appeal. (WAC' 197-11-680). COST -BENEFIT - ANALYSIS: :A quantified' comparison of costs and benefits generally expressed in 'monetary or numerical terms. It .is not . synonymous with the weighing ;or balancing of environmental and other impacts or benefits` of a proposal. COUNTY/CITY: A county, city, or town. In this Chapter, duties and powers are assigned to a county, city, or town as a unit. The delegation of responsibilities among the various departments of a county,' city, or town is left to the legislative or charter authority of the individual counties, cities, or towns. 4-6-25 DECISION MAKER: The agency official or officials who make the agency's decision on a proposal. The decision maker 'and responsible official are not necessarily synonymous, depending on the agency and its SEPA procedures '(WAC 197-11-906 and WAC 197-11-910). DEPARTMENT: The Washington State Department of Ecology. DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE (DNS); The written decision by the responsible official of the lead agency that'a proposal is not likely to have 'a significant adverse environmental impact, and therefore an EIS is not required (WAC 197-11-310 and WAC 197-11-340);The DNS form is in WAC 197-11-970. DETERMINATION OF "SIGNIFICANCE (DS): The written decision by the responsible official of the lead agency that a proposal is likely to have a significant adverse environmental impact, and therefore an EIS is required (WAC 197-11-310 and WAG, 197-11-360). The DS form is in WAC 19741-980 and must be used substantially in that form. EIS: Environmental impact statement. The term "detailed statement" in ROW 43.21C.030(2)(c) refers to a final EIS. The term "EIS" as used in these rules refers to draft, final, or supplemental EISs (WAC 197-11-405). ENVIRONMENT: Means, and is limited to, "those elements listed in WAC 197-11-444, as required' by RCW 43.21C;110(1)(f). Environment and environ- mental quality refer - to the ` state of the environment and are synonymous as used in these rules and refer'' basically to physical environmental quality, ENVIRONMENTAL CHECK LIST: The form in WAG 197-11-960. Rules for its use are in WAC 197-11-315. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT: Any written public ' document prepared under this Chapter. Under SEPA, the terms environmental' analysis, environmental study, environmental report, and environmental assessment do not have specialized meanings and, do not refer to particular environmental documents (unlike various other state or Federal environmental impact procedures). ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The consideration of environmental factors as required by SEPA. The "environmental review process" is the procedure yr used by agencies and others under SEPA for giving 490 4-6-25 appropriate consideration to the environment in agency decision making. ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREA: An area designated and mapped by the City' under WAG 197-11-908. Certain categorical exemptions do not apply within environmentally sensitive areas (WAC 197-11-305, WAC 197-11-908, and Part Nine of these rules). EXPANDED SCOPING: An optional process that may be used by agencies to go beyond minimum scoping requirements. IMPACTS: The effects or consequences of actions. Environmental impacts are effects upon the elements of the environment listed in WAC 197-11-444. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE: The inclusion of all or part of any existing document in an agency's environmental documentation by reference (WAC 197-11-600 and WAG 197-11-635). LANDS COVERED BY WATER: Lands underlying the water areas of the State below the ordinary high water mark, including salt waters, tidal waters, estuarine waters, natural water courses, lakes, ponds, artificially impounded waters, marshes, and swamps. Certain categorical exemptions do not apply to lands covered by water, as specified in Part Nine. LEAD AGENCY: The agency with the main respon- sibility for complying with SEPA's procedural requirements (WAC 197-11.050 and WAG 197-11-922). The ' procedures for determining lead agencies are in_Part -Ten of these rules. "Lead agency" may be read as 'responsible official" (WAC 197-11-788 and WAC 197-11-910) unless the context clearly requires otherwise. Depending on the agency and the type of proposal, for example, there may be a' difference, between the lead agency's responsible official, who is at a,'minimum responsible for procedural determinations (such as WAC 197-11-330, 197-11-456, 197-11-460) and its decision maker, who is at a minimum responsible for substantive determinations (such as WAC' 197-11-448, WAC 197-11-655, and 197-11-660). LICENSE: Any form of written permission given to any person, organization, or agency to engage in any activity, as required by law or agency rule. A license' includes all or part of an agency permit, certificate, approval, registration, charter, or plat approvals or rezones' to - facilitate a 'particular proposal The term does not include a license required solely for revenue purposes. 4.6-25 LOCAL AGENCY: "Local agency" or "local govern- ment" means any political subdivision, regional governmental '.unit, district, municipal or public corporation, including ;cities, towns, and counties and 'their legislative bodies. The term encompasses but 'does not refer specifically to the departments within a city or county. MAJOR ACTION: An action that is likely to have significant adverse environmental impacts. "Major' reinforces :but does not have . ,a meaning independent of "significantly" (WAC 197-11-794). MITIGATED -DNS: A DNS that includes mitigation measures and is issued as a result of the process specified in WAC 197-11-350 MITIGATION: A. Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action; B. Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implement- ation, by using. appropriate, technology, or by taking affirmative steps to avoidor reduce impacts; C. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitat- ing, or restoring the affected environment; Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation' and maintenance operations during the life of the action; E. Compensating for the impact by replacing, enhancing, or ;providing substitute resources or environments and/or F. Monitoring the impact, and taking appropriate corrective measures. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT: Those aspects of the environment contained in WAC 197-11-444(1), frequently referred to as natural elements, or resources, such as earth, air, ,water, 'wildlife, and energy. NEPA: The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 USCA 4321 et seq.; P.L. 91-190), that is like. SEPA at the Federal; level. The Federal NEPA regulations are located at 40 CFR 1500 et seq. NONPROJECT: Actions which are different or broader than a single site specific project, such as plans, policies, and ;programs (WAC-197.11-704). 490 i 4-6-25 PHASED REVIEW; The coverage of general matters in broader environmental documents, with subsequent narrower documents concentrating solely on the issues specific to the later analysts (WAC 197-11-060[61). Phased review may be used for a single proposal or EIS (WAC 197-11-060). PREPARATION: "Preparation" of an environmental document means preparing or supervising the preparation of documents, including issuing, filing, printing, circulating, and related requirements (see WAC 197-11-700[21)• PRIVATE PROJECT: Any proposal primarily initiated or sponsored by an individual or entity other than an agency._ PROBABLE: Likely or reasonably likely to occur, as in "a reasonable probability of more than. a moderate effect on the quality of the environment" (see WAC 197-11-794), Probable is used to distin- guish likely impacts from those that merely, have a possibility of occurring, but are remote or specula- tive. This is not meant as a strict statistical _ probability test. PROPOSAL: A proposed action. A proposal includes both actions and regulatory, decisions of agencies as well as any actions proposed by applicants..A proposal exists at that stage in the development of an action when an agency is presented with an application, or has a goal and is actively, preparing to makea decision on one or more alternative means of accomplishing that goal, and the environ- mental effects can be meaningfully . evaluated. (See WAC 197-11-066 and WAC "197-11-060[31). A pro- posal may ;therefore be a particular or preferred course of action or,' several alternatives. For this reason, these rules use the phrase "alternatives including the proposed action", The term "proposal" may therefore include "other reasonable courses of action", if there is no preferred alternative and if it is appropriate to do so in the particular context. REASONABLE ALTERNATIVE: An - action that could feasibly attain or approximate a proposal's objectives, but at _a lower environmental cost or decreased level of environmental 'degradation. Reasonable alternatives may be those over which an agency with jurisdiction' has authority to control impacts, either directly, or indirectly through requirement of mitigation measures. (See WAC 197-11-440[6] and WAC 197-11-660.)_Also see the definition of "scope" for the three (3) types of alternatives to be analyzed in EISs (WAC 197-11.792). 01 4-6-26 RESPONSIBLE OFFICIAL: That officer or officers, committees department, or section of the lead agency 'designated liy agency SEPA procedures to undertake its procedural, responsibilities as lead agency (WAC 197-11-f)10), SEPA: The State Environmental Policy Act of 1971 (Chapter, 4&91C RCW), which is also referred to as the Act: The "SEPAprocess's means all measures necessary for compliance with, the acts require ments. SCOPE: A. The range of proposed actions, alternatives, and 'impacts to be analyzed in " an environ- mental`document (WAC '197-11-060[21). B. To determine the scope of environmental impact -statements, agencies consider three (3) types of actions, three (3) types of impacts, and three (3) types of alternatives. 1. Actions may be: a. Single (a specific action which is not related 'to other proposals or parts of pro- ,:'. posals); b. Connected (proposals or parts of pro- [ posals which are closely related under WAC 197-11-060[31 or WAC,197-11-306[11); or c.' Similar, (proposals that have common aspects"and may be analyzed together under WAC 197-11-060[31). 2. Alternatives may be: a, No action; b. Other reasonable courses' of action; or c. Mitigation measures (not in the pro- posed action). 3. Impacts may a, Direct; b. Indirect; or c Cumulative. C, WAC 197-11-060 provides general rules for the content of any environmental review under SEPA; Part Four and WAC 197-11-440 provide 4-6-25 specific rules for the content of EISs. The scope of an individual statement may depend on its relationship with other EISs or on phased review. SCOPING: "Determining the range of proposed actions, alternatives, and impacts to be discussed in an EIS. Because an EIS is required to analyze sig- nificant environmental impacts only, scoping' is intended to identify and narrow the EIS to the %sig- ' nificant issues. The required scoping process (WAC' 197-11-408)' provides interagency and public notice of'a DS, or equivalent notification, and opportunity to comment.' The lead agency ;has the option of ex- panding the scoping'process (Wac 197-11.410), but shall not be required to do. so. Scoping is used to encourage cooperation` and early resolution of poten- tial conflicts, to improve decisions, and to reduce paperwork and delay. SIGNIFICANT: A. As used in SEPA means a reasonable likeli- hood of more than a moderate adverse impact ` on environmental quality. B. Significance involves context and intensity (WAC 197-11-330) and does not lend itself 'to - a formula or 'quantifiable test. The context may vary with the physical setting. Intensity depends on the 'magnitude and duration of an impact, The severity of an impact should be weighed along ;with the likelihood of its occurrence. An impact may be; significant if its chance of oc currence is not great,, but the resulting envi- ronmental impact would be severe if it occur- red, C. WAC 197-11-330 specifies a process, including criteria and procedures, for determining' whether a proposal is likely to have a 'sig- nificant adverse environmental' impact. STATE AGENCY: Any, state board; commission, department, or +officer, including state 'i universities, colleges,' and community colleges, that is author- ized by law to make rules, hear contested cases, or otherwise' take the actions stated in WAC 197-11-704; except the judiciary and state legisla- ture, THRESHOLD DETERMINATION: The decision by the responsible official of the lead agency whether or not an EIS is required for a proposal that is not i �i 4.6-25 categorically exempt (WAC 197-11-310- and WAC 197=11-330[l][b]), `g UNDERLYING GOVERNMENTAL ACTION: The governmental, action, such as zoning or permit approvals, that is the subject of SEPA compliance. gat, - Part Nine Categorical Exemptions 44-26: ADOPTION BY REFERENCE: The City adopts by reference the following = rules for categorical exemptions, as supplemented in `, this Ordinance, including WAC 173.806-070 (Flexible Thresholds), WAC 173-806-080 (Use of ex- emptions), and WAC 173-806-190 (Environmentally sensitive areas):.

When the City is the lead agency for a proposal requiring an EIS and' the ERC deter- mines that the EIS shall be prepared by employees of the City, the City may charge and collect a reasonable fee from any appli- cant to cover costs incurred by the City in preparing the EIS. The ERC shall advise the applicant(s) of the projected costs for the EIS prior to actual preparation; the applicant shall post bond or otherwise ensure payment of such costs. 2. The ERC may determine that the City will contract directly with a' consultant for pre- paration of an EIS, or a' portion of the EIS, for activities initiated by some person or entity, other than the City and may bill such costs and expenses directly to the applicant. The City may 'require the applicant to post bond or otherwise ensure payment of such costs. Such consultants shall be selected, by mutual agreement of the City and applicant after'a call for, proposals. 3; If a' proposal is modified so that an EIS is no longer required, the ERC shall refund any fees collected under- Bl or B2 of this subsection which remain after incurred costs are paid.

(Ord. 4523, 6-5-1995) J. Conditional Approval Permits -Nonconform- ing Uses/Structures: 1. Purpose And Intent: The purpose of this conditional approval permit is to allow non- conforming uses and/or structures that be- came nonconforming as a consequence of Code amendments in June 1993 and thereaf- ter, to be reestablished and/or rebuilt in certain zoning districts where they would normally be prohibited because the costs associated with reestablishing the use and/or structure exceed fifty percent (50%) of their most recently assessed or appraised- value prior to the loss or damage. Such permits would be issued when the continuance of the use or structure is determined to be in the public interest and such uses/structures are; a) found to be compatible with other existing and potential uses/structures in the general area; or, b) can be made to be compatible with the application of appropriate condi- tions. Such a permit, if granted, typically would carry, conditions with it pertaining to how the damaged structure would be allowed' to redevelop. Damaged existing legal nonconforming uses and/or structures where the costs associated with reestablishing the use and/or structure. do not exceed fifty percent (50%) of their most recently assessed value, prior to the loss or damage, are allowed to be reestab- lished or rebuilt as a matter of right, 2. Applicability: Any existing building or structure that was legally established and has been continuously occupied, or a use that has been continuously in existence on the site but is now nonconforming because of a change in City Codes in June 1993 or there City of Renton 496 4-31-19 After, may apply for a conditional approval permit. Uses or structures that cannot sub- stantiate.that they were legal at the time they were established shall not be eligible for this permit. 3. Exception: Any legally established single-family dwelling damaged by fire or an act of Godmay be rebuilt on the same site, subject to all relevant fire and life safety codes, without a conditional approval permit. 4, Conditional Approval Permit Review Pro- cedures: For all applications received after January 1,'1996, the Hearing Examiner shall hear all requests for conditional approval permits for nonconforming uses. Conditional permit applications for nonconforming struc- tures shall typically be heard, by the Plan- ning/Building/Public Works Administrator or his or her designee, unless such applications are coupled with conditional permit applica- tions for nonconforming uses that are being heard by the Hearing Examiner or City Council. The approving body may grant, with or without conditions, or deny a requested conditional permit pursuant to Chapter 8, Title IV, of the City Code. The approving body may, for example, limit the term and duration of the conditional approval permit as well as impose conditions. Conditions imposed by the approving body shall reason- ably assure that nuisance or hazard 'to;life or property will not develop. A conditional ap- proval permit for a nonconforming use and/or structure may, for example, be conditioned 'upon the provision and/or guarantee by the applicant that necessary public improve- ments, facilities,: utilities and/or services needed to support the use/structure will be provided, or the provision of other features that would make' the 'use/structure ' more compatible with its surroundings:' Conditions imposed relating to the duration of a permit for a use or structure should also reflect reasonable amortization periods for any substantial upgrades to the premises that are required by City Code. Any decision of the Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator or his or her designee to grant, deny, or condition an application for 496 :r City 4-31-19 a nonconforming structure shall be appeal- able to the Hearing Examiner as an adminis- trative determination. Any appeal from a Hearing Examiner's decision, whether an appeal from an administrative determination' or an original decision on a nonconforming use, shall be appealable to the City Council upon written appeal filed within fourteen (14) calendar days oftheExaminer's decision and upon payment of the applicable appeal fee: 6. Review Criteria For Nonconforming Uses: The Hearing Examiner and/or City Council shall consider the following factors, among all other relevant information, when consid- ering a request for a conditional approval permit for a nonconforming use. In order to :{ grant the permit, at least three (3) of the these factors shall be complied with. a. Community Need: There shall be a com- munity need for the proposed use at its pres- ent location. In the determination of commu- nity need, consideration shall be given to the following factors, among all other relevant information: (1) The continuance of the nonconform- ing use should not result in either the detrimental overconcentration of a particular use within the City or within the area surrounding the site. (2) That the existing location is or can be made suitable for the existing use. b. Effect On Adjacent Property: The exist- ing nonconforming use has not resulted in undue adverse effects on adjacent properties from noise, traffic, glare, vibration; etc. (i.e., does not exceed normal levels in these areas emanating from surrounding permitted us- es). c. Historic Significance: The existing use was associated with a historical event or activity in the community and as a result has historical significance. d. Economic Significance: The existing use provides substantial benefit to the communi- of Renton 4-31-19 ty because of either the employment of a large number of people in the community, the generation of considerable retail and/or business/occupation tax revenues to the City, or it provides needed affordable housing. e. TimelinessWith Existing Plans And Programs: Because of the anticipated market timing for permitted uses in the zone, reten- tion of the existing nonconforming use would not impede or delay the implementation of the City's Comprehensive Plan. 6. Conditional` Approval Permit Review Crite- ria'For Nonconforming Structures: The Plan- ning/Building/Public Works Administrator or his or her designee shall consider the follow- ing factors„ among all other relevant infor- mation, when considering a request for a conditional approval permit for a noncon- forming structure. In order to grant the per- mit, he/she shall find that at least three (3) of the following criteria have been satisfied: a. Architectural And/Or Historic Signifi- cance: The damaged structure represents a unique regional or national architectural style or an innovation in architecture be- cause of its style, use of materials, or func- tional arrangement, and is one of the few remaining examples of this. b. Architectural Compatibility With Sur- rounding Uses: The nonconforming building or structure was part of a unified streetscape of similar structures that is unlikely` to be replicated unless the subject structure is rebuilt per, or similar to, its original plan. C. Potential Of Site For Redevelopment: Redevelopment of the site with a conforming structure is unlikely either because the size of the existing lot may be too small to be ' economical, or because the characteristics of adjacent permitted uses (that might normally be expected to expand to such a site) current- ly might preclude their expansion. Typically, economic hardship would not be considered r fora variance, but is a consideration here. d. Condition Of Building/Structure: If nonconforming as to the provisions of the City 1 4-31-20 City's Building Code, the building or struc- ture and surrounding premises have general- ly been well maintained and is not consid- ered to be a threat to the public health, wel- fare, or safety, or it could be retrofitted so as not to pose such a threat. e. Departure From Zoning Code: If noncon- forming with the provisions of the City's development regulations, the building or structure does not pose a threat to the public health, welfare or safety, or could be modi- fied so as not to pose such a threat. 7. Application Procedure: Application for ar conditional permit for a legal nonconforming use or structure shall be submitted and re- viewed pursuant to Chapter 8, Title IV, of the City Code. The complete application shall be as specified on the appropriate Plan-; ningBuilding/Public Works document and shall, at minimum, include a plan of the site drawn to scale showing the actual dimen- sions and shape of the existing site, and the exact sizes and locations of existing strue- tures and uses, whether damaged or not. It shall also include the dates these struc- tures/uses were established. The plan should also show existing landscaping, off-street t: parking, signs, ingress and egress, and adja- cent land uses. The application should also include drawings, photographs, or other visual aids that show the relationship of the existing structure or building to its sur- roundings and may include studies or reports that support the applicant's contention that the existing nonconforming use or structure is compatible with the surrounding area and its uses. Any other relevant information requested by the Planning/Building/Public Works Department shall be included in the application.

(Ord:2844, 4-1-74) 4-31-29: BULK STORAGE FACILITIES: A. Intent: The intent of the regulation of bulls storage facilities is to allow such facilities in a location and manner so they are compatible with adjacent properties and beneficial to the City And in accordance with the State Envi- ronmental Policy Act. It is further the intent to insure that the safety, health, welfare, aesthetics and morals of the community are maintained at a high level. Due to the unique characteristics and problems inherent in'.making bulk storage facilities compatible with surrounding properties and environ- ment, the City Council finds that special review of bulk storage facilities is required to insure the intent of these regulations; and the City Council expressly finds that in the Green River Valley, City of Renton and sur- rounding areas there has been a loss in air quality and that a potential exists for a con- tinuing deterioration in this air quality due in part to the unique meteorological and topographic characteristics such as the chan- neling and holding of air masses, by inver- sions and the surrounding hills. This degra- dation in air quality adversely affects the liveability and desirability of the City and is injurious to the health and well-being of its citizens. Those uses classified as a recog- nized higher risk have higher ,standards applied to them including, but not limited to, landscaping, traffic and access and hazard- ous materials. These regulations are to sup- plement and be in addition to existing ordi- nances and code ' provisions. (Ord. 2962, 9-8-75; amd. Ord. 2967, 9-22-75) B. Special Permit And Administration: 1295 4-31-29 1. Bulk storage facilities may be allowed only by special permit as specified in Section 4-31-19B of this Chapter.

Surface Drainage: The intent of this stan- dard is to protect property from damage and loss due to flooding, erosion and deposition caused, by the adverse alteration of natural drainage flow. patternsandrates, and to promote development practices which en- hance the quality, benefits and enjoyment of the natural water courses. 1. Surface drainage shall,be approved by the Public Works Department and shall comply with the design specifications set forth in the latest editions or revisions of Standard Spec- ifications for Municipal Public Works Con- struction by the Washington State Chapter American Public Works Association, and Highway Hydraulics Manual by the Wash- ington State Highway Commission, Depart- ment of Highways. I. Toxic Substances; The intent of this standard is to extend to the general public basic 'pre- cautions 'used in industry dealing with the `exposure of workers to toxic materials. As a J. requisite to protecting the public health and welfare,and especially .as that public in - eludes the very young and other sensitive members, the environment should be 'kept free ofunnecessary concentrations of these toxic substances by using the best practica- ble control and process technology in all phases of manufacture and handling and by a sincere commitment to good housekeeping practices: 1. The ambient air quality standards speci- fied in Regulation 1 of the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency (PSAPCA) shall 1293' ' City of Renton 4-31-29 apply to all air contaminants specifically listed therein. 2.

L. Liquid Waste: The intent of this standard is to preserve and enhance the quality of the environment and protect the public health and welfare by preventing the disposal of h 1293 City of Renton t 4' s, liquid industrial wastes by unacceptable methods and in unapproved areas. 1. The discharge of all waterless liquid waste shall be subject to the conditions .of Section 4-31-29L3 of this Chapter and/or disposed .of by aliquid waste disposal company. 2. The discharge of any water containing liquid, gas or solid wastes in solution and/or as a mixture into any ,part of the natural water system shall comply with the stan- dards and compatibility requirements of the Q 4-31-29 Washington State Department of Ecology or any successor department or agency thereof.. The administrative official shall be supplied with a true copy of any and all discharge permits issued to the facility by the State of Washington Department of Ecology. 3.,All wastes discharged into a sewerage system shall comply with the applicable regulations of the City and the municipality of metropolitan Seattle sewerage system governing the control and disposal of indus- trial waste.' 4. All liquid wastes undisposable by treat- ment, after treatment, or by sewerage system shall be disposed of on a scheduled basis clearly related in both rate and magnitude with the industrial process or source gener- ating the waste. 5. Upon the request of the administrative official the industry shall provide substantial proof of having disposed of liquid waste, falling in the categories of Section 4-31-29L4 of this Chapter equal to or greater than eighty percent (80%) in, either volume or weight of the amount generated during the previous six (6) months of operation. Should the generation of such liquid waste be on a sporadic basis then the industry shall pro- vide the administrative official with written evidence of 'substantial compliance with this subsection., 6. The release of odorants or gaseous wastes from liquid wastes awaiting disposal shall be prevented by using adequate means of stor- age and all other reasonable means neces- eary. 7, Any treatment of liquid waste solely for the purpose of disposal shall be permitted when the, generation of any solid or gaseous wastes is adequately handled in compliance with these standards and all other rules and regulations of State and regional agencies. Such treatment shall employ the best practi- cable control currently available to industry. Liquid waste shall include surface run-off waters as per Section 4-31-29H of this Chap - city o 4-31-29 ter when contaminated with chemicals, oils or other toxic substances. M. Light and Glare: The intent of this standard is to afford the public the safety of adequate lighting while avoiding unnecessary glare and exposure to excessive outdoor illumina- tion which may create a hazard or unreason- ably interfere with the relaxation and enjoy- ment of public open spaces, right of ways and normal residential activities and pursuits. 1. Illumination levels shall be measured with a photoelectric photometer (light -metier) having a spectral response similar to that of the human eye,following the standard spec- tral luminous efficiency curve adopted by the International Commission of Illumination. 2. The illumination from all sources located- on a lot shall have the maximum value of eleven (11) lumens per square meter outside of lot lines and six (6) lumens per square meter outside the district line. In all cases of conflict the district line value shall apply. 3. The intrinsic brightness of any source visible beyond the district lines shall have a maximum value of fifty (50) candles per square centimeter. 4. Intermittent, rotating or flashing lights of an intrinsic brightness greater than two (2) candles per square centimeter and with a frequency greater than once in any five (5) second time period shall not be visible be- yond district lines unless for the sole purpose of alarm or giving warning. N. Odorants: The intent of this standard is to prevent the occurrence of certain offensive` odors in the environment by limiting the concentration of chemical compounds which are known to produce strong olfactory re- sponses, This standard does not attempt to determine the intrinsic or subjective good or. bad qualities of an odor, but only that the concentration of specific constituent com- pounds are above adopted values which have been accepted for the health and well-being of the general public, 1293 f Renton 4-31-29 4-31-29 1.

Nothing in this 'standard shall be con- strued to impair any cause of action or legal remedy therefor of any person, or the public for injury or damages arising from the emis- sion of any odorant in such place, manner or concentration as to constitute air pollution or a common law nuisance. O. Hazardous Materials: The intent of this standard is to provide adequate separation between highly flammable or explosive mate- rials used in industries of a recognized high- er risk and the neighboring properties and public 'areas, total containment of all highly flammable, toxic and polluting liquid materi- als, limits for the stored quantity of highly flammable and explosive materials as a func- tion of property area, and all other reason- able safety measures deemed necessary for the protection of people, property, and the environment from the threat and destruction of fire and/or explosion, and to prevent en- cumbering adjoining properties with burdens which are related to thehazards of highly flammable and explosive materials. 1293 City of Renton 4-31-29 1, An industry shall not impose economic burdens such as, but not limited to higher insurance rates and/or operational limita- tions upon neighboring, facilities due to its location and hazardous nature. All necessary modifications shall be made to both such characteristics and the site plan so as to not impact neighboring facilities. 2. An industry or facility storing for its own use or redistribution any highly flammable toxic or polluting liquid of a capacity equal to or greater than the lesser of that quantity sufficient to result in a flow across lot lines or a quantity of fifteen (15) cubic inches per square foot of total lot area shall construct a permanent continuous barrier surrounding all buildings, structures and facilities which could contribute to the flow. The storage in liquid form of those materials which are normally in a gas phase at ambient tempera- ture and atmospheric pressures shall be contained within barrier unless determined by the administrative official that dispersion of the resulting gas or aerosol would be less' hazardous. The capacity of the space within the barrier shall ' be one hundred; percent (100%) of the maximum possible volume of stored liquid and the top of the barrier shall be at least one foot (1') above this liquid level. The barrier shall be designed and con- structed in such a manner that there is no visible leakage on or below any portion of the exterior surface of the barrier which is below the level of the confined liquid after a forty eight (48) hour period. A report on a test of a typical barrier section constructed to full scale shall be prepared by, a licensed engi- neer and submitted as proof of the design. 3. The barrier shall be of earthen material with two (2) sloping sides extending to grade' level without any vertical cuts or retaining walls, The top of the barrier shall be flat.' The barrier shall have a maximum vertical height of four feet (4') when measured be- tween the grade level at the internal toe to the top. The slope of the sides and width of- the top shall be according to accepted engi- neering design for holding ponds.' The design of the barrier shall minimize the likelihood of damage by major earthquakes' whose epi 4-31-29 centers are located in the Pacific Northwest, All ingress into and egress from the inner side of the barrier shall be over the barrier top, Theroadway shall be constructed so as to not weaken the barrier or decrease its resistance to earthquake damage. When the barrier and landscaped berm are one and the same structure no vertical cuts or retaining walls shall be allowed in the common struc ture. 4. On -site fire suppression systems shall be fully automatic with manual overrides from at least two (2) locations outside the barrier. The fire suppression system shall be connect- ed to central dispatch of the City by means of 4-31-29 err a remote station protecting signaling system, in accordance with the specifications of the J G National Fire Code, Volume 7, of the Nation- al Fire Protection Association. 5. The manufacture and/or storage of explo- sives or blasting agents shall comply, with the quantities and locations Bet forth in Schedule 4-31-2901 as per type of explosive, quantity to be manufactured and/or stored and the distances from the lot lines. The quantities are the maximum amount that shall be allowed for any one compan y, facility or site. The stated distances are the mini- mum that shall be allowed.

All new facilities or expansion of existing facilities, unless exempted by the limitations in Schedule 4-31-29P1, shall provide an ini- tial report covering the emission of those specific substances listed in Schedule 4-31-29P1. The report shall cover the first three (3) months of operation and shall be filed with the administrative official within thirty (30) days after the end of the reporting period. The report shall enumerate all sourc- es by type or category contributing ten per- cent (10%) or more of the total emission for each specific substance. The total of all sources contributing less than ten percent (10%) individually may be grouped as one entry and if so shall specify the number of sources included. The report shall contain such information or analyses as will disclose the reported values of the emissions which are or may be discharged by such source. The report shall be certified by a licensed engi- neer. 8. Each emission greater than twenty per- cent (20%) of the annual weight per facility or spatial density, computed on an annual basis, as reported in Section 4-31-29P7 of this Chapter shall be reported thereafter on a quarterly basis until such time as the total weight of the specific emission drops below `and remains below the twenty percent (20%) specified above. Such reports shall be due and filed with the administrative official within thirty (30) days after the end of the reporting quarter. The beginning and ending dates of each quarter shall be established by the administrative official. 9. Each facility subject to this standard shall be responsible for notifying the administra- tive official of all new initial emissions of a substance listed in Schedule 4-31-29PI and all increases in emissions of that specific substance for existing sources, above the twenty percent (20%) level specified in See- tion 4-31-291?8 of this Chapter, Stich notifica- tion will be in a report as per Section 4-31-29P7 of this Chapter. 10. In addition to such reports as required in Sections 4-31-29P7, 4-31-29P8 and 4-31-29P9 of this Chapter, the administrative official City of Renton 4-31-29 may designate and employ a licensed engi- neer of his choice to make an independent study and report as to the type and quantity of emissions which are or may be discharged from the source. The administrative official shall be authorized to enter and inspect the facility upon a showing of need and upon the owner's permission or upon court order. 11. The site of bulk storage 'facilities emit- ting any of those substances listed in Sched- ule 4-31-29P1 shall comply with the following limitation on location. No new facility or expansion of an existing facility shall be permitted within five thousand feet (5,000') of an existing bulk storage facility if their combined emission for any of the listed sub- stances exceeds two (2) times the permitted annual emission of the substance for a single facility. The emissions of applicable existing facilities shall be reduced as per Section 4-31-29P12 of this Chapter. 12, All existing bulk storage facilities on the effective date of this Ordinance and emitting more than the maximum permitted emission of any listed substance shall be assumed as having the maximum permitted emission for the purpose of calculating the locational density of facilities as specified in Section 4-31-29P11 of this Chapter. For the purpose of this standard existing bulk storage facili- ties shall include those facilities for which substantial construction, other than site preparation, is in progress and as deter- mined by the administrative official. 13. All existing facilities qualifying under Section 4-31-29P12 of this Chapter shall comply with the emission standards set forth in Schedule 4-31-29P1 of this Chapter within three (3) years of the effective date of this Ordinance, A one time extension of up to two (2) years may be granted by the administra- tive official upon the showing of good cause why compliance cannot be achieved within the specified time period. 14. Emission control shall be required of those specific substances for which a report is required as per Section 4-31-29P8 of this Chapter. Sources and/or points of emissions +31-29 within the lot lines shall be suitably con- trolled to result in a reduction or recovery of emissions with an overall 'efficiency for the facility of ninety ;percent (90%) or greater when compared to the uncontrolled facility and when the equipment and technology are readily available.

(Ord. 4261, 2.26-90) 4-31-31: FLOOD HAZARDS: City of A. B. Renton 4-31-31 Findings of Fact: The City Council of the City finds that: 1. The flood hazard areas of the City are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and govern- mental services, extraordinary public expen- ditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare. 2. These flood losses are caused by the cumu- lative effect of obstructions in areas of spe- cial flood hazards which increase flood heights and velocities, and when inadequate- ly anchored, damage uses in other areas. Uses that are inadequately floodproofed, elevated, or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to the hood loss.' Statement of Purpose: It is the purpose -of this Ordinance to promote the public health, safety and general welfare, and to minimize public and private dosses due to flood condi- tions in specific areas by provisions designed: 1. To protect human life and health; yu 2: To minimize expenditure of public money and costly flood control projects; 3. To minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally •" undertaken at the expense of the general public; 4. To minimize prolonged business interrup- tions; -s N 5. To minimize damage to public' facilities and utilities such as water and gas mains,. electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges located in areas of special flood�� hazard; 6. To help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the sound use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as to mini mize future flood blight -areas; 1293 4-31-31 7. To ensure that potential buyers are noti- fied that property is in an area of special flood hazard; and, 8. To ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions. C. Methods. of Reducing Flood Losses: In order to accomplish its purposes, this Ordinance includesmethods and provisions for: 1. Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety and property due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or in flood heights or velocities; -`2. Requiring thatusesvulnerable to floods, including' facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;'' 3. Controlling the alteration of natural flood plains, stream channels and natural protec- tive barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters; 4. Controlling filling, grading, dredging and other development which may increase flood damage; and 5. Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers' which' will unnaturally di- vert flood waters or may increase flood haz- ards in other areas. D. Definitions: Unless specifically defined be- low, words or phrases used in this Ordinance shall be interpreted so as to give them the meaning they have in common usage and to give this Ordinance its most reasonable ap- plication: APPEAL: A request for a review of any ac- tion pursuant to this Ordinance, or of the interpretation of any provision of this Ordi- nance by any City official The provisions of Chapter 8, Title IV shall apply.

Specifically, the follow- ing information is required: (1) Elevation in relation to mean sea level of the lowest floor (including base- ment) of all structures; (2) Elevation in relation to mean sea level to which any structure has been floodproofed; (3) Certification by a registered profes- sional engineer or architect that the floodproofing methods for any nonresi- dential structure meet the floodproofing criteria in subsection G2b of this Sec- tion; and (4) Description of the extent to which a watercourse will be altered or relocated as a result of proposed development. 2. Designation of. the Local Administrator: The Director of the Building and Zoning Department ('Building Official') is hereby appointed to administer and implement this Ordinance: by granting or denying develop- ment permit applications in accordance with its provisions. 3; Duties and Responsibilities of the Building Official: The duties of the Building Official shall include, but not be limited to: a. Permit Review: (1) Review all development ,permits to determine that the permit requirements of this Ordinance have been satisfied; (2) Review all development permits to determine that all necessary permits have been obtained from those Federal, State or local governmental agencies from which prior approval is required; (a) Review all development permits to determine if the proposed development is located in the floodway. If located in City of Renton 4-31-31 the floodway, to assure that the en- croachment provisions of subsection G3a of this Section are met. b. Use of Other Base Flood Data: When base flood elevation data has not been pro- vided in accordance with subsection E2 of this Section, Basis for Establishing the Areas of Special Flood Hazard, the Building Official shall obtain, review and reasonably utilize any base flood elevation and floodway data available from a Federal, State' or other source, in order to administer 'subsections G2, Specific Standards, and G3, Floodways, of this Section. c. Information to be Obtained and Main- tained: (1) Where base flood elevation data is provided through the flood insurance study or required as in subsection F3b of this Section, obtain and record the - actual elevation (in- relation to mean sea level) of the lowest floor (including basement) of all new or substantially improved structures and whether or not the structure' contains a basement. (2) For all new or substantially im- proved floodproofed structures:' (A) Verify and record the actual elevation (in relation to mean sea level),` and (B) Maintain ,the floodproofing certifications required in subsection F1b3 of this Section. (3) Maintain for public inspection all records pertaining to the provisions of this Ordinance. d. Alteration of Watercourses: (1) Notify adjacent communities and the State of Washington Department of Ecology prior to any alteration or relo- cation of a watercourse and submit evidence of such notification to the Federal Insurance Administration. 1293 4-31-31 (2) Require that maintenance is provid- ed within the altered or relocated por- tionof said watercourse so that the flood carrying capacity is not dimin- ished. e.Interpretation of FIRM Boundaries: Make interpretations where :needed, as to exact location of the boundaries of the areas of special flood hazard (for example, where there ap pears to be a conflict between a mapped . boundary and actual field condi- tions). The person "contesting the location of the, boundary shall be given a reasonable opportunity, to appeal the interpretation as provided in subsection F4 of this Section. 4. Appeals; Variance Procedure: a. Variances: (1), The Board of Adjustment or the Hearing Examiner, whichever is afford- ed jurisdiction under the provisions of Section 4-31-19F of the City Code, as amended, shall hear and decide appeals and requests' for variances from the requirements of this Ordinance. (2) In passing upon such an application for a variance, the Hearing Examiner or Board of Adjustment, as the case may be, shall consider all technical evalua- tions; all relevant factors, standards specified in other sections of this Ordi- nance; and: (A) The danger that materials may be swept onto other lands to the injury of others. (B) The danger to life and property due to flooding or erosion damage; (C) The susceptibility of the pro- posed facility and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the individual owner; (D) The importance of the services provided by the proposed facility to the community, _1293 City of Renton 4-31-31 (E) The necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable; (F) The availability ofalternative locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or erosion dam- age; (G) The compatibility of the pro- posed use with existing and anticipated development; (H) The relationship of the pro- posed use to the comprehensive plan and flood plain management program for that area; (I) The safety of access to the property in times offloodfor ordinary and emergency vehicles; (J) The expected heights, velocity; duration, rate of rise and sediment transport of the flood waters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site; and, (K) The costs of providing govern-r mental services during and after flood conditions, "including 'maintenance _ and repair of public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical,' and water systems, and streets and bridges, (3) Upon consideration of the, factors of subsection F4e(1) above and the purpos- es of this Ordinance, the Hearing Ex- aminer or Board of Adjustment, .as the case may be, may attach such condi- tions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purpos- es of this Ordinance. b. Conditions for Variances: (1) Generally, the only condition under s which a variance from the 'elevation standard may be issued is for new con- struction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half (1/2) acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing strut- `' I 4-31-31 tures constructed below the base flood a level, providing items (A) through(K) in subsection F4a(2) of this Section have been fully considered. Asthelot size increases the technical justification required for issuing the variance in- creases. (2) Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, rehabilitation, or resto- ration of structures listed in the Na- tional Register of Historic Places or the State Inventory of Historic Places, with- out regard to the procedures set forth in this Section. (3) Variances shall not be issued within a designated floodway if any increase in flood ;levels during ,the base flood dis- charge would result. (4) Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard,;to afford relief. (5) Variances shall only be issued upon: (A) A showing of -good and suffi- cient cause; (B) A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in ex- ceptional hardship to the applicant; (C) A determination that the granting of a variance; will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances. (6) Variances as interpreted in the national flood 'insurance program are based on the general zoning law princi- ple that they pertain to a physical piece of property; they are not personal in nature and do not pertain to the strut- ture, its inhabitants,; economic or finan- cial circumstances. They primarily City o 4-31-31 address small lots in densely populated residential neighborhoods. As such, variances from the flood elevations should be quite rare. (7) Variances may be issued for nonresi- dential buildings in very limited cir- cumstances to allow a lesser degree of floodproofing than watertight or dry- floodproofing, where it can be deter- mined that such action will have low damage potential, complies with all other variance criteria except subsec- tion F4b1 of this Section, and otherwise complies with subsections Gla and Glb of the General Standards of this Sec- tion. (8) Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice that the structure will be permitted to be built with a lowest floor elevation below the base flood elevation and that the cost of flood insurance will be com- mensurate with the increased risk re- sulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation. c. Appeals: Pursuant to Chapter 8, Title IV, of the City Code, the Hearing Examiner shall hear and decide appeals when it is alleged there is an error in any requirement, decision, or determination made by the Building Official in the enforcement or ad- ministration of this Ordinance. d. Writ of Review: Those aggrieved by any decision of either the Hearing Examiner or Board of Adjustment pursuant to this subsec- tion E4 of this Section, or any taxpayer, may, within twenty (20) calendar days from the day of the decision, obtain a writ of certiorari from the King County Superior Court for the purpose of review of the action taken. e. Records: The Building Official shall maintain the records of all "appeal actions and report any variances to the Federal In- surance Administration upon request. G.

Since the floodway is an extreme- ly hazardous area due to the velocity of flood waters which carry debris, potential projec- tiles and erosion. potential, the following provisions apply: a. Prohibit encroachments, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and other development unless certification by a registered professional engineer or or- chitect is $) provided demonstrating that en- croachments shall not result in any increase in flood levels during the occurrence of the base flood discharge. (Ord. 4071, 6-1-87) b. Construction or reconstruction of resi- dential structures is prohibited within desig- nated floodways, except for i) repairs, recon- struction or improvements to a structure which do not increase the ground floor area; and ii) repairs, reconstruction or improve- ments to a structure, the:cost of which does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the market value of the structure either a) before the repair, reconstruction or repair is started, or 6) if the structure has been damaged, and is being restored, before the damage occurred.

(Ord. 3653, 8-23-82) s 4-31-33: SITE PLAN REVIEW: A. Purpose and Intent: The purpose of site plan approval shall be to assure that the site plan of proposed uses is compatible with existing and potential uses and complies with plans, policies and regulations of the City. Site plan elements subject to this Section include, but are not limited to, site layout, building orien F4. Z tation, pedestrian and vehicular access signage, landscaping, natural features of the site, screening and buffering, parking and loading arrangements and illumination. Site planning is the horizontal and vertical ar- rangement of these elements so as to be compatible with the physical characteristics of a site and with the surrounding area. Site plan review does not include design review, which addresses the aesthetic considerations of architectural style, exterior treatment and colors. Site plan review should' occur at : an early stage in the development of a project, when the scale, intensity and layout of a project are known, but before final building plans are completed. The intent of' site plan approval shall be: 1. To protect neighboring owners and uses by assuring that reasonable provisions have been made for such matters as sound and sight buffers, light and air and those other aspects of site plans which may have sub- stantial effects on neighboring land uses; - t t .` City of Renton 4-31-33 2. To promote the orderliness of community growth, protect and enhance property values and minimize discordant and undesirable impacts of development both on and off -Bite; 3. To promote coordination of public or quasi - public elements, such as walkways, drive- ways, paths and 'landscaping within seg- ments of larger developments and between individual developments r 4 To ensure convenience and safety of vehic- ular and, pedestrian movement within the site and in relation to adjacent areas; 6. To .protect the desirable aspects of the natural landscape and environmental fea- tures of the City by minimizing the undesir- able impacts of, proposed developments on the physical environment;, 6. To minimize conflicts that might otherwise be created by a mix of uses within allowed zones; 7. To provide for quality, multiple family or clustered housing while minimizing the im- pacts of high density, heavy traffic genera- tion and intense demands on City utilities and recreational facilities; 8. To promote the creation of "campus -like" and "park -like' settings in appropriate zones; 9. To provide a mechanism to more effective- ly meet the purposes and 'intent of the State Environmental Policy Act; 10, To supplement other land use regulations by addressingsite plan elements not ade- yj quately,covered elsewhere in the City Code and to avoid violation of the purpose and intent of those codes. (Ord. 3981, 4-7-86) B. Applicability: 1. For all development in the Industrial -Light (IL), Commercial Office (CO) and Pub- lic Use (P-1) Zones and CC, CN, CM, CA, CB r and the Mixed Residential (MR), Manufac- tured Housing Park (T); Multi -Family (MF) and Planned Neighborhood Residential 4-31-33 (PNR) Zones, secondary uses and other uses specified within each zoning district; all X development with the Valley Planning Area and for all hazardous waste treatment and storage facilities.

In all zones, the following types of devel- opment shall be exempt from the require- ments of site plan review: (Ord. 3981, 4-7-86) "2 a. Interior remodel of existing buildings or structures; provided: (1) The alterations conform with any prior approved site plan; and, (2) The alterations do not modify the existing site layout. In addition, facade modifications such as the +' location of entrances/exits; the location of windows; changes in signage; or aesthetic alterations' shall be exempt. (Ord. 4008, 7-14-86) b. Planned unit developments (PUD's). { c. Conditional use permits. d. Off -premises signs (billboards). e. All development categorically exempt from review under the State Environment Policy Act (RCW 43,21C and WAC 197-11) and under the City Environmental Ordinance (Title IV, Chapter 6). f, Minor new construction, repair, remod- eling and maintenance activities that would otherwise be exempt from SPA if they were not located within the shoreline master pro- gram jurisdiction. 3. For development proposed on only a por- tion of a particular site, an applicant may choose to submit a site plan application for either the entire site or the portion of the site. In the latter case, the application shall 1293 �City of Renton ri" 4-31.33 state clearly the area of the site and the proposed, development, including phases, for which site plan approval is being requested. In every case, the site plan application and review shall cover at least that portion of the site which is directly related to or may be impacted by the actual proposed develop- ment, as determined by the Environmental Review Committee, C. Site Plan Review Procedures: 1. All site plan applications shall be reviewed in the manner described below and in accord- ance with the purposes and criteria of this Section, The Building and Zoning Depart- ment may develop additional review proce- dures to supplement those required in this subsection. 2. Applicants are encouraged to consult early and informally with representatives of the Building and Zoning Department and other affected departments.This consultation should include a general explanation of the requirements and criteria of site plan review, as well as the types of concerns that might be anticipated for the ,proposed use at the proposed site. (Ord. 3981, 4-7-86) 3.:Upon receipt of a completed application in the form specified in Section 4-31-33G below, the Building and Zoning Department shall route the application for review and comment to various City departments and other juris- dictions or agencies with an interest in the application. This routing should be combined with circulation of environmental informa- tion under the Renton ordinance (Title IV, Chapter 6) and SEPA. (Ord. 4008, 7-14-86) 4. Whenever a completed site plan applica- tion is received, ` the Building and Zoning Department shall be responsible for provid- ing public notice of the pending site plan application. This public notice shall be in the form of three (3) signs placed on or near the subject property and clearly visible from the largest public street serving the property and a public notice mailed to all adjacent proper- ty owners at the applicant's expense. The applicant, shall be responsible for providing 1293 City of Renton 4.31-33 completed mailing labels and postage. ("Adja- cent" shall mean all contiguous properties, with the assumption that railroads and pub- lic rights of way, except limited access roads, do not exist.) The notices shall state the nature and location of the proposed develop- ment, the public approvals that are required and the opportunities for public comment. A fourteen (14) day public comment period shall be providedpriorto any final action by the City on a site plan application, whether or not a public hearing is required. b. Comments from the reviewing depart- ments shall be made, in writing, within four- teen (14) days. Unless a proposed site plan is subsequently modified, the recommendations of the reviewing departments shall constitute the final comments of the respective depart- ments with regard to the proposed site plan. Lack of comment from a department shall be considered a recommendation for approval of the proposed site plan. However, all depart- ments reserve the right to make later com- ments of a code compliance nature during building permit review, This includes such requirements as exact dimensions, specifica- tions or any other requirement specifically detailed in the City Code. 6. After the departmental comment period, the Building and Zoning Department shall notify the applicant of any negative com- ments or conditions recommended- by the departments. When significant issues are raised, this notification should also normally involve a meeting between the applicant and appropriate City representatives. The appli- cant shall have the opportunity to respond to the notification either by submitting a re- vised site plan application, by submitting additional information, or by stating, in writing, why the recommendations are con- sidered unreasonable or not acceptable. 7. Whenever a revised site plan or new infor- mation is received from an applicant, the Building and Zoning Department may recir- culate the application to concerned depart- ments. Consulted departments shall respond, in writing, within' ten (10) days with any additional comments. In general, the City's 4-31-33 environmental determination of significance or nonsignificance pursuant to Chapter 6, Title IV, will not be issued until after final departmental comments on the site plan or revised site plan are received. (Ord. 3981, 4.7-86) 8, Upon receipt of final departmental com- ments and after the close of the public com- ment period the Environmental Review Committee shall determine the necessity for a public hearing on the site plan for those projects that have not been reviewed as part of a master site plan pursuant to Chapter 35, Title IV, of the City Code. A public hearing before the Hearing Examiner shall be re� quired for projects not reviewed pursuant to Chapter 35, Title IV, if., a. Unresolved Concerns: The Environmen- tal Review Committee determines that based on departmental comments or public input there are, significant unresolved concerns that are raised by the proposal; or b. Hearing Request: The applicant has requested a public hearing; or C, Size: The proposed project is larger than any one of the following: One hundred (100) multiple family residen- tial units; One. hundred thousand (100,000) square feet of gross floor area in the IL or CO Zone or other zones in the Valley Planning Area; Twenty five thousand (25,000) square feet of gross floor area in the CC, CN, CD, CA, CS, CO or P-1 Zones outside the Valley Plan- ning Area; Four (4) stories or sixty feet (60') in height; Three hundred (300) parking stalls; or Ten (10) acres in size. d. Adjacent To Single -Family Zone: Any commercial property is adjacent to a single- family zone. a. Exception For Secondary Use: Where site plan review is required for secondary City of 4-31-33 "!0I uses in the zoning districts, but would other- wise be exempt from the site plan review requirements, public notice of the proposed action and public hearing shall not be re- quired. (Ord. 4551, 9-18-95) 9. Whenever a public hearing is required, the Planning/Building/Public Works Department shall coordinate with the Hearing Examiner in setting a hearing date for the site Plart NK3 application. After conducting at least one public hearing on the site plan application, the Hearing Examiner shall render a written decision pursuant to the provisions of.Chap- ter 8, Title IV. The time limits of Chapter 8, Title IV, shall apply. In all cases, the public hearing for site plan review should be con- ducted concurrently with any other required hearing, such as rezone or subdivision, if the details of the development are sufficiently defined to permit adequate review. 10. When the Environmental Review Com- mittee determines that a public hearing is not required, the proposed site plan shall be deemed approved, subject to any environ- mental mitigating measures that may be a part of the City's declaration of significance or nonsignificance, D. Site Plan Review Criteria: The Hearing Ex- aminer and City staff shall review and act upon site plans based upon comprehensive planning considerations and the following criteria. These criteria are objectives of good site plans to be aimed for in development within the City. However, strict compliance with any one or more particular criterion may not be necessary or reasonable. These criteria also provide a frame of reference for the applicant in developing a site, but are not intended to be inflexible standards or to discourage creativity and innovation. The site plan review criteria include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. General Criteria: a. Conformance with the comprehensive plan, its elements and policies; b. Conformance with existing land use regulations; 1295 lenton 4-31-33 c. Mitigation of impacts to surrounding properties and uses; d. Mitigation of impacts of the proposed site plan to the site; -e.

Mitigation of undesirable impacts when an overscale structure, in terms of size, bulk, height, and intensity, or site layout is per- mitted that violates the spirit and/or intent of the Zoning Code and impairs the use, enjoymentor potential use of surrounding properties; c. Provision of a desirable transition and linkage between uses and to the street, utili- ty, walkway and trail systems in the sur- rounding'area by the arrangement of land- scaping, fencing and/or other buffering tech- niques, in order to prevent conflicts and to promote coordinated and planned benefit from and access to, such elements; d. Consideration of placement and scale of proposed structures in relation to the natural characteristics of a site inorderto avoid over -concentration of structures on a particu- lar portion of a site such that they create a 1296 city 4-31-33 perception of greater height or bulk than intended under the spirit of the Zoning Code; e. Effective location, design and screening of parking and service areas in order to pro- mote efficient function of such facilities, to provide integrated facilities between uses when beneficial, to promote "campus -like" or "park -like" layouts in appropriate zones and to prevent unnecessary repetition and con- flict between uses and service areas or facili- ties; f. Mitigation of the unnecessary and avoid- able impacts of new construction on views from existing buildings and future develop- able sites, recognizing the public benefit and desirability of maintaining visual accessibili- ty to attractive natural features and of pro- moting "campus -like" or "park -like" settings in appropriate zones; g. Provision of effective screening from public streets and residential uses for all permitted outdoor storage areas (except auto. and truck sales), for surface mounted utility equipment, for rooftop equipment, and for all refuse and garbage containers, in order to promote a "campus -like" or "park -like" set- ting where appropriate and to preserve the. effect and intent of screening or buffering' otherwise required by the Zoning Code; h, Consideration of placement and design of exterior lighting in order to avoid exces- sive brightness or glare to adjacent proper- ties and streets. 3. Mitigation Of Impacts Of A Proposed Site Plan To The Site: a, Building placement and spacing to pro- vide for privacy and noise reduction; orienta- tion to views and vistas and to site ameni- ties, to sunlight and prevailing winds and to pedestrian and vehicle needs; b. Consideration of placement and scale of proposed structures in relation to the open- ness and natural characteristics of a site in of Renton 4-31-33 order to avoid over concentration or the im- pression of oversized structures; c. Preservation of the desirable natural landscape; through retention of existing vege- tation and limited soil removal, insofar as the natural characteristics will enhance the proposed development; d. Use of existing topography to reduce undue cutting, filling and retaining walls in order to prevent erosion and unnecessary storm water runoff and to preserve stable natural slopes and desirable natural vegeta- tion; e, Limitation of paved or impervious sur- faces, where feasible, to reduce runoff and increase natural infiltration;" f. Design and protection of planting areas so that they are not susceptible to damage from vehicles or pedestrian movements; g. Consideration of building form and placement and landscaping to enhance year- round conditions of sun and shade both on - site and on adjacent properties and to pro- mote energy conservation. 4. Circulation and Access a. Provision of adequate and safe vehicu- lar access to and from all properties b. Arrangement of the circulation pattern so that all ingress and egress movements may occur at as few points as possible along the public street, the points being capable of channelization for turning movements; c. Consolidation of .access points with adjacent properties, when feasible; y d. Coordination of access points on a superblock basis so that vehicle conflicts and vehicle/pedestrian, conflicts are minimized; e.

(Ord. 3718, 3-28-83) 4-31-35: GREENBELTREGULATIONS: A. Purpose and Intent: Greenbelt areas are characterized by severe topographic, ground water, slope instability, soil or other physical limitationsthatmake the areas unsuitable for intensive development. Provisions for public enjoyment of greenbelt areas are en- couraged; however, greenbelt designations do not imply; public ownership or the right of public access. The, purpose of these regula- tions is to supplement the policies contained in the _Comprehensive - Plan regarding greenbelts by the control of development, by minimizing damage due to landslide, subsi- dence or erosion, by protecting wetlands and fish -bearing waters, and providing physical relief between expanses of similar land uses. Implementation of these; regulations will protect the public against avoidable losses due to maintenance and replacement of pub- lic facilities, property damage, subsidy cost of public mitigation of avoidable impacts, and costs for public emergency rescue and relief operations. These regulations supplement but do not replace the underlying zoning regulations for specific ;properties. These regulations will provide 'responsible City officials with information to condition or deny public or private projects to protect potentially, hazardous areas and to avoid the necessity of preparing environmental impact statements in eases where there will not be significant' adverse environmental effects, thus expediting governmental approval pro - ceases. B. 'General - Provisions: .Greenbelt regulations apply to areas that are first designated as greenbelt on the City's Comprehensive Land Use Map and also identified as 'containing one or more of the following physical criteria; 1. Steep Slope Areas: Areas with slopes that exceed twenty five percent (25%)', 4-31-35 2. Physical Hazards: Areas identifiable as a severe landslide hazard or areas where other ��- severe hazards are anticipated including erosion, seismic, flood and coal mine subsi- dence. �r 3. Utility Easements and Rights of Way: Major electricity, water and gas transmission line easements and rights of way, fi>. 4. Other Criteria: Wetlands, stream corridors' and flood control works. The actual presence or absence of the criteria illustrated above in greenbelt areas, as de- termined by qualified professional and tech- nical persons, shall govern the treatment of an individual building site or parcel of land requiring compliance with these regulations. C. Vegetation Removal: There shall be no re- moval of vegetation within a greenbelt until a permit is issued pursuant ;to Section 4-31-35D below except for normal mainte- nance with written approval by the Building and Zoning Department for such activities as trimming of vegetation or removal of danger- ous or diseased plant materials. D. Development Standards; Whenever a pro- posed development requires a building per mit, grading permit, shoreline substantial development permit, conditional use permit, variance, rezone, planned "unit development, subdivision or short subdivision, and one or more of the greenbelt criteria as defined in Section 4-31-35B above is present on the site of the proposed development, studies by qualified professionals may be required. The City shall send written notification to the applicant whenever such studies are re- quired, The City may approve, approve with conditions, or deny any; such ,proposal to carry out the purposes of this Section. Whenever a proposed development involves only one single family dwelling, which is not part of a larger development proposal, the City shall not require special studies or re- ports by the applicant. City of Renton 4-31-3b 1. Steep Slope, Areas: These regulations ap- ply to land form features of a site between significant and identifiable changes in slope. a, Definitions (see Exhibit "A" for an illus- tration of these definitions): (1) Slope shall be defined as the average slope of the lot' or portion thereof in percent between "significant changes in slope, determined by observation on simple slopes, or more precisely by the formula: - S=100IL; A (2) Where;"I" is the contour interval in feet but not greater than ten feet (10'); "L" is the combined length of the con- tour lines in scale feet; and A" is the net area between' significant changes in slope of the lot in square feet. (3) A significant change in slope shall be defined as a 'bench or plateau at least fifteen feet (15') in width, b. Development is prohibited on slopes greater than forty percent (40%); c. In greenbelt areas with between twenty five percent (25%) 'and forty percent (40%) slope the maximum residential density shall be: (1) One unit per acre, and for each one percent (1%) of slope in excess of twenty five percent (25%), an additional nine hundred (900) square feet in lot area per dwelling unit shall be required. (2) When the current zoning designa- tion exceeds one dwelling unit per acre the allowable development density in the steep slope area shall be reduced to one-fourth ('/4), and for each one per- cent (1%) of slope in excess of twenty five percent (25%), the remaining allow- able dwelling unit' density shall be re- duced by an additional five percent (5%). 1293 City of Renton 4-31-35 d. The maximum nonresidential buildable area shall be reduced to one-fourth (1/4), and for each one percent (1%) of slope in excess of twenty five percent (25%), the remaining buildable area shall be reduced by an addi- tional five percent (5%n). e. Greenbelt areas between twenty rfive percent (25%) and forty percent (40%) slope shall be subject to special review to assure stable building conditions, safe and conve- nient access and minimum disruption of the natural physical features of the land. The City may require the applicant to furnish a report by a licensed engineer to evaluate the site, However, the City may 'waive the re- quirement for special studies where 'suffi- cient information is otherwise available to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the development permit. 2. Physical Hazards: Greenbelts established upon these criteria should be developed only with great caution and development should be 'based on sound engineering; and technical knowledge. The Icing County Sensitive Areas Map Folio dated March, 1980, is hereby adopted by reference to assist in`the determi- nation of and evaluation of physical hazard areas as prescribed by this Section. a: As a general rule, development should not increase the risk of hazard either on or off -site. Where detailed technical' information is provided illustrating that development can be safely accommodated, development that is compatible with the degree of hazard, and with surrounding uses may be allowed. Pro- vided, any such development retains at least seventy five percent (75%) of the site in open space or is landscaped compatibly with the physical hazards. b. The City may require site specific stud- ies, completed by a qualified soils engineer or engineering geologist or other qualified pro- fessionals, which shall include specific rec- ommendations for >mitigating measures which should be required as a condition of any approval for such development. The recommendations may include,' but are not limited to, construction techniques, design, 4-31-36 drainage, or density specifications, or season- al constraints on development. Upon review of these studies, the development permit shall be conditioned to mitigate adverse environmental impacts and to assure that the development can be safely accommodated on the site and is consistent with the purpos- es of this Section. The City may waive the requirement for special studies where suffl- cient information is otherwise available to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the development permit. 3. Utility ,Easements and Rights of Way: A limited number of low intensity uses consis- tent with the existing zoning and utility use may be permitted within utility greenbelts such that the proposed development meets the intent of providing a definitive geograph- ic relief between adjoining existing or antici- pated land use. Allowable uses include: a. Any structures or activity directly asso- ciated with the supply or service of utilities; b. Agriculture; c. Residential open spaces; d. Recreational activities and facilities; (Ord. 3849, 10-8-84) e. Parking associated with adjoining land uses; provided, that no more than the follow- ing percentage of the greenbelt area is cov- ered with impervious surfaces and the re- mainder':is compatibly landscaped or re- tained in "a natural state: Twenty' five percent (25%), if the most re- strictive adjacent zoning is RC, SFL or SF; Fifty percent (50%), if the most restrictive adjacent zoning is MR, MF, PNR, T or P-1; Sixty five percent (65%), if the most restric- tive adjacent zoning is CC, CN, CB, CA, CM, CO, LI, LM, LH, POR. (Ord. 4404, 6-7-93) f. Production of resources; provided, that the area is rehabilitated consistent with the greenbelt definition; 4-31-35 g. Roadways and streets; provided, that any street aligned parallel with the greenbelt should involve the minimum intrusion upon the greenbelt while providing for enhance- ment through compatible landscaping. 4. Other Greenbelts: Wetlands, stream corri- dors and flood control facilities designated greenbelt shall be subject to the development standards of the City's Shoreline Master Program urban environment where those shoreline regulations would not otherwise apply. F. Other Allowable Uses: i 1. Nothing in these regulations shall limit the construction of one single-family home on a pre-existing platted lot, subject to meeting any engineering requirements necessary to safely construct such a residence. 2. Where the provisions of theseregulations limit construction of public or private utili- ties or appurtenant structures, approval for such construction may begrantedby approv- al of a conditional use per subject to a showing of necessity and compatibility of the use with these regulations, (Ord. 3849, 10-8-84) City of Renton (See following page for Exhibit A ti -31- 1 35 4-31-35 EXHIBIT A Steep Slope Illustration iF cm 4 tv........ + ----------- cm ---------------- bl ----------------- 1293 City of Renton , 3 R 4-31-36 4-31-36 r 4-31-36: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT: result asubstantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property.

City of Rento RIA FOR KEEPING ANIMALS: Purpose and Intent: Since the nature of growth by definition generates greater com- petition by both humans and animals for less available space, it is imperative that all types be located appropriately and managed effectively to insure compatibility and bar- mony. In particular, animals need to be mon- itored to lessen the impacts of noise, odor and potential nuisance not only on -site but more particularly to adjacent properties. Animal owners keep their animals for a vari- ety of reasons, including but not limited to companionship, affection and protection. In order that lovers of animals may coexist harmoniously with those who don't, some general guidelines require statement, j. The keeping of animals by an owner/tenant where permitted in the zoning districts, shall comply with the requirements of this Section. It is assumed that an animal owner either lives on the property where an animal is kept or has arranged with a tenant to care for the animal. Household pets as defined in Section 4-31-2H7 of this Chapter, are permitted use in all zones in the City and as such are not regulated by this Section; provided,they number three (3) or less. These regulations shall apply to existing and future cases where an owner/tenant is keep ing animals. In cases where the keeping of animals does not comply with these,regula- tions, the situation shall be classified as a nonconforming use. The owner/tenant shall be allowed to keep the number of animals existing at the time the Section becomes effective. Property owners/tenants who lose an animal after the effective date of this Section shall not be allowed to replace the animal with a similar type of animal. Fur- thermore, for the purposes of this Code, nonconforming use rights belong to a proper- ty owner and are not attached to the proper- ty and therefore are not transferable from s one property owner to another with the ale of the property. In those situations where the 1293 n 4-31-37 4-31-37 keeping of animals does not comply with minimize odor and the potential for them these iregulations and the situation is not festation of insects or the spread of disease. classified as a nonconforming use, then the owner shallhaveto comply with the Code 4.

Findings ; of Fact: The . City Council of the City of Renton, Washington hereby finds that: 1. Wetlands are valuable and fragile natur- al resources with significant development constraints due` to flooding, erosion, soil liquefaction potential and septic ` disposal limitations. In their natural state, wetlands provide many valuable social and ecological services,; including: protecting water re- sources . by filtering out water pollutants, providing ,biological and chemical oxygen demand, ;recycling and storing nutrients, serving as settling basins for 'naturally occurring sedimentation and providing are- as for groundwater recharge. Wetlands provide essential 'habitat for many species of fish, wildlife and vegetation. Wetlands provide open space visual relief from in- tense development' in urbanized areas, and recreation opportunities; and serve as im- 4-32-1 CHAPTER32 WETLANDS MANAGEMENT portent 'areas for scientific study and na- tural resource education. 2. Development in wetlands results in in- creased soil erosion and sedimentation of downstream water bodies, including naviga- ble channels; degraded water quality due to increased turbidity and -loss of pollutant removal ` processes such as sediment trap- ping, nutrient removal and chemical detoxi- fication; the elimination or degradation of fisheries and wildlife habitat from water quality degradation, increased peak flow rates, decreased` summer low flows, changes in ' the hydrologic regimen; loss of storm - water retention > and slow release; capacity. resulting ` in flooding,' degraded water quality, changes in the 'streamflow regimen of watersheds; ,and loss of groundwater recharge and discharge areas. 3. Buffer areas surrounding wetlands are essential to maintenance and protection of wetland ;functions and values. Buffer areas protect wetlands from degradation by: sta- bilizing slopes and preventing erosion; fil- tering 'suspended solids, nutrients and harmful toxic substances; moderating the impacts of stormwater runoff; moderating the impacts of stormwater runoff, moderat- ing microclimate;;supporting and protecting wetland plant and animal species and biotic communities; and reducing disturbances to wetland resources cased by the activities of humans and domestic animals. 4. The loss of the social and ecological services provided by wetlands results in a detriment to public safety and welfare; replacement of such service, if possible, can require' considerable public expenditure. - 5. Considerable acreage' of these important natural resources has been lost or degraded by "draining, ` dredging, ' filling, excavating, building, polluting and other acts inconsis- tent with the natural uses of such areas.' Remaining wetlands are in jeopardy of be- ing lost, despoiled, or impaired by such acts. 492 4-32-1 A) It is therefore necessary, to ensure maxi- mum protection for the health, safety and welfare of Renton's citizens, for the City to discourage alterations of wetlands and development activities in wetlands that may adversely affect wetland functions and values, to encourage restoration of already disturbedwetland systems, and to en- courage creation of new wetland areas. B. Policy and Purpose: It is the policy of the City to balance community desires for eco- nomic development and affordable housing with the responsibility to retain the City's remaining wetlands by encouraging higher intensity ;development in, areas already supported by infrastructure and encourag- ing lower intensity development in areas containing wetlands. It is the City's policy to encourage restoration of disturbed and low value wetlands and to provide maxi- mum protection for those high value wet- lands .remaining in the City. As such, it is the policy of the City to require buffers of natural vegetation around, wetlands and to encourage: site planning ,to protect and minimize damage to wetlands wherever possible. The City supports the concept of no'net loss of wetland acreage, values and functions ` by protecting high value wet- lands, and requiring restoration of dis- turbed wetlands or creation of new wet- lands to: offset losses that are unavoidable. In particular, :the City encourages land development projects which seek to improve the hydrologic and wildlife habitat func- tions of low, value wetlands. In addition, it is the intent of the City that activities in or affecting wetlands not threaten public safety, cause nuisances, or destroy or degrade natural wetland func- tions and values. The purposes of this Chapter are to ',protect the public health, safety and welfare by preventing and man- aging the adverse environmental 'impacts of development within and adjacent to wet- lands.`The purposes of this Chapter are to: 1. Preserve, protect and restore wetlands by regulating development within them and around them; 492 4-32-2 2. Protect the public from: a. Preventable maintenance and re- placement of public facilities needed when wetland functioning is impaired; b. Costs associated with repair of downstream properties resulting from ero- sion and flooding due to the loss of water storage capacity provided by wetlands; c, Unnecessary costs for public emer- gency rescue and relief operations; and d.-Potential litigation on improper construction practices occurring in wetland areas; 3. Alert appraisers, assessors, >owners and potential buyers or lessees to the develop- ment'limitations of wetlands; 4. Provide City officials with information to evaluate, approve, condition or deny public or private development proposals. 5. Prevent the loss of wetlands acreage and functions and strive for a net gain over present conditions; and 6. Assist or further the implementation of a the policies of the Growth Management Act, the State Environmental Policy Act, chap- ter 43.21C RCW City Comprehensive Plan, Site Plan Review Ordinance (4731-33), Storm and Surface Water Drainage Or- dinance (4-22), Mining, Excavation and Grading Ordinance (4-10), Shoreline Master Program (4-19), and all other present and future City functional, environmental and community plans and programs. 4-32-2: GENERAL PROVISIONS: A.

Wetlands Definition and Determination of Regulatory Edge; (Ord. 4346, 3-9-92) 1. Wetlands are those lands transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems that are inundated or saturated by ground or surface water at a'frequency and duration sufficient to support and, under normal cir- cumstances, do support a prevalence of vege- tation -typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. For the purpose of regulation, the exact location of the wetland edge shall be determined by the wetlands specialist hired at the expense of the applicant through the performance of a field investigation using the procedures provided in the following manuals: Federal Interagency Committee for Wetland Delineation, 1987, Federal Manual for Iden- tifying and Delineating. Jurisdictional Wetlands;U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, USDA Soil Conser- vation Service, Washington D.C.

Wetlands intentionally created for purposes other than wetland mitigation, including, but not limited to, stormwater management, wastewater treatment or landscape ameni- ties are not considered' regulated wetlands. (Ord. 4538, 6-26-95) 2. Where the applicant has provided a delin- eation of the wetland edge, the City shall review and may render adjustments to the edge delineation. In the event the adjusted edge delineation is contested by the appli- cant, the City shall at the applicant's ex- pense,"obtain the services of an additional qualified wetlands specialist to review the original study and render a final delineation. 995' city 4-32-3 A final wetlands delineation is valid for two t (2) years. Extensions for additional years can be approved by the Department Administra- tor if an application is proceeding in timely manner through the, permit process. D. Wetlands Classification System: The follow- ing classification system is hereby adopted for the purposes of regulating wetlands in the City. Wetlands buffer widths, replace- ment ratios and avoidance criteria shall be based on the following rating system. 1, Very High Quality Wetlands: Category 1 wetlands are wetlands _greater than two thousand two hundred (2,200) square feet which meet one or more of the following criteria: a. The presence of species listed by Federal or State government as endangered or threatened, or the presence of essential habi- tat for those species; b. Wetlands having forty percent (40%) to sixty percent (60%) permanent open water (in dispersed patches or otherwise) with two (2) or more vegetation classes; c. Wetlands equal to or greater than ten = ' (10) acres in size and having three (3) or more vegetation classes, one of which is open water; d. The presence of plant associations of infrequent occurrence; or at the geographic limits of their occurrence, or e. Wetlands assigned the Unique/Out- standing #1 rating in the current King Coun- ty Wetlands Inventory 1991 or as thereafter amended. 2. High Quality Wetlands: Category 2 wetlands are wetlands greater than two thousand two hundred (2,200) square feet which' meet one or more of the following criteria: a. Wetlands greater than two thousand two hundred (2,200) square feet that are not Category 1 or 3 wetlands; of Renton 4-32-3 4-32-3 b. Wetlands that have heron rookeries or c.

Increased Wetland Buffer Zone Width: The City's Department Administrator may re- quire increased standard buffer zone widths in unique cases - i.e., endangered species, very fragile areas, when a larger buffer is necessary to protect' wetlands functions and values. This determination shall be support - ad by appropriate documentation provided by the City showing that increased buffers are reasonably related to protection of the func- tions and values of the regulated wetland. Such determination: shall be attached as a condition of project approval and shall dem- onstrate that: 1.

Reduction of Standard Wetland Buffer Zone Width: The Department Administrator may approve a'reduction in the standard wetland buffer zone widths on a case -by -case basis where it can be demonstrated by the appli- cant that: 1. The adjacent land is extensively vegetated and has less than fifteen percent (15%) slopes and that no direct or indirect, short- term or long-term,' adverse impacts to regu- lated wetlands, as determined by the City, will result from a regulated activity.' The City's determination shall be based on specif- ic site studies by recognized experts. The City may require long-term monitoring of the 1294 City o) 4-32-3 10 project and subsequent corrective actions if adverse impacts to regulated wetlands are discovered; or ;y 2. The project includes a buffer enhancement r' plan using native vegetation and substanti- ates that the enhanced buffer will be equal to or improve the functional attributes of the^ buffer. An enhanced buffer shall not result in greater than a twenty five percent (25%) reduction in the buffer P as )n 4-32-3 , 112) width, and the reduced buffer shall not be less than twenty five feet (25') wide. Such determination and evidence shall be included in the application file and public notification shall be -given' as specified in the City Code. I. Standard Wetland Buffer Width Averaging: Standard wetland buffer zones may be modified by averaging buffer widths. Wet- land buffer width averaging shall be al- lowedonly where the applicant demon- :'strates all of the following: 1. The averaging is necessary to avoid denial of reasonable use to the applicant caused, by circumstances peculiar to the property;and 2. That the wetland contains variations in sensitivity due to existing physical charac- teristics; and 3. That only low intensity land uses would be located adjacent to areas where buffer width is reduced, and that such low inten- sity land uses are guaranteed by covenant, deed restriction,' easement or other legally 'binding' mechanism; and 4. That width averaging will not adversely impact the wetland Function and values; and 5. That the total area contained: within the wetland buffer after averaging is no less than that contained within the required �. standard buffer;' prior to averaging. In no instance shall the buffer width be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) of the standard buffer or be less than twenty five feet (25') wide. 4-32-4: ALLOWED ANDILEGULATED AC- TrVITIESa A.

Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity; ly 1 4-32-5 3. Result in no net loss of wetland or buffer h t area and function and value from that ap- proved in the original project plan; t ?,Y 4. Will be made prior to detailed engineering and design, such as during site plan review, short plat, preliminary plat approval or the preapplication phase of planned unit devel- opment; and 5. Will be documented and entered as part of the official wetland permit file. D. Waivers: Requirements of this Chapter may „ E be waived upon determination by the Depart- ment Administrator that all impacts on wetlands would be mitigated as part of an approved area -wide wetlands plan that, when taken as a whole over an approved schedule or staging of plan implementation, will meet or exceed the requirements of this Chapter (see Section 4-32-6C). E. Alternates: The provisions of this Code are not intended to prevent the use of any mate- rial or method of construction not specifically prescribed by this Code, provided any alter- nate has been approved and its use autho- rized by the Department Administrator. 1. The Department Administrator may ap- prove any such alternate, provided she/he finds that the proposed design is satisfactory and complies with the provisions of this Code and that the material, method or work of- fered is, for the purpose intended, at least the equivalent of that prescribed in this Code in environmental protection, safety and effec- tiveness. 2. The Department Administrator shall re- quire that sufficient evidence or proof be submitted to substantiate any claims that may be made regarding its use. The details of any action granting approval of an alter- nate shall be written and entered in the files of the Code enforcement agency. F. Tests: 1, Whenever there is insufficient evidence of compliance with any of the provisions of this 1294 City of Renton 4-32-6` Code or evidence that any action does not conform to the requirements of this Code, the Department Administrator may require tests as, proof of compliance to be made at no ex- pense to this jurisdiction. 2.

Decisions of the Hearing Examiner on appeals of administrative deter- minations under this interim: ordinance may be appealed to the City Council, within twen- ty (20) . days of the Examiner's 'decision. There shall be no further fee for this appeal. Subsequent -appeals -shall be to Superior Court. (Ord.4346, 3-9-92) H. Wetland Variance Procedures: If an appli- cant feels that the strict application of this Chapter would deny all reasonable use of the property containing,a wetland or associated buffer, or would deny installation of public transportation or utility facilities determined by: the public agency proposing these facili- ties to be in the beet interest of the public health, safety and welfare, the public agency, the applicant of a development proposal may apply for a wetland' variance. An application for a wetland variance shall be filed with the. Department Administrator. Requirements for a wetland variance include an environmental review pursuant to WAC 197-11-300 (SEPA). A wetland variance for Category 3 (lower quality) wetlands will be decided by the De- partment Administrator.

General .Standards: Permit approval by the Department Administrator for projects involving wetlands or wetland buffers shall be granted only if the approval is consis- tent with the provisions of this Chapter. Additionally, approvals shall only be,grant- ed if:. 1. A proposed action avoids adverse impacts to regulated wetlands or their buffers or takes affirmative and appropriate measures to minimize and compensate for un- avoidable, impacts; and 2. The proposed activity results in no net loss of regulated wetland area, value, or function in the drainage basin where the wetland is located; or 3. Denial of a permit would deny all rea- sonable use of the ,property_ and a variance process is successfully completed to deter- mine conditions for permitting of activity requested. (See Section 4-32-611) B. Compensating for Wetlands Impacts: As a condition of any permit allowing alteration of wetlands and/or' wetland buffers, or as an enforcement action pursuant to 'Section 4 32 6 4-32-6 $) 4-32-7B the City shall require that the the protection and management, of the compensation area to avoid further develop - applicant engage in the restoration or crea- ' tion of wetlands and their buffers (or fund- ment or degradation and to provide for 3 ing of these activities) in order to offset the long-term persistence of the compensation impacts resulting ;from the applicant's or area; and violator's actions. d.

Wetland management tracts are legally created tracts containing wetlands and their buffers that ` shall re- main 'undeveloped. Wetland management tracts are an integral 'part of the lot in which they are `created, are not ''intended for separate sale, lease or transfer, and shall be included in the arse of the parent lot for purposes of subdivision method and minimum lot size. 2. Protection ` of Wetland Management Tracts: The City shall require, as a condi- tion of any permit issued' pursuant to this ,Chapter for any proposed plat, that the wetland management tract(s) created pur- suant to this Section be protected by one of the following methods: a. The permit holder shall convey an irrevocable offer to dedicate to the City or other public or nonprofit entity specified by the City, an easement for the protection of the wetland and/or its buffer; or b. The permit holder shall establish and record a permanent and irrevocable deed restriction on the property title of all lots containing a wetland management tract or tracts created as a condition of this permit. Such deed restriction(s) shall prohi- bit the development, alteration, or distur- bance of vegetation and Wetland within the wetland management tract except for pur- poses of habitat enhancement as part of an enhancement project which has "received prior written approval 'from the City, and from any other Jagency with jurisdiction' over such activity. 492 I 4-32-7 B) .3.

The following note shall appear on the face of all plats, short plats, PUDs, or other approved site plans containing sepa- rate wetland management tracts, and shall be recorded on the title of record for all affected lots: NOTE: All owners of lots created by or henefitting from this City action abutting a wetland management tract are responsible for maintenance and protection of the tracts. Maintenance 'includes insuring that no, alterations, occur" within the tract and that, all vegetation remains undisturbed unless, the express written authorization of the City ,has been received. The common boundary between a wet- land management tract and the adjacent land must be permanently identified. This identification shall include permanent wood or metal signs on treated or metal posts. Suggested wording is as follows: Protection of this natural area is in your care. Alteration or distarbance is prohibited by law. Pleasecall, the City of Renton for more information. (Tel. No. 235-2552) Sign locations and size specifications shall be approved by the City. The City shall require permanent fencing of the wetland management tract or tracts when there is a substantial likelihood of the presence of domestic grazing animals within the devel- opment proposal.

The pavement shall then be widened to thirty two feet (32') in total width, and a curb and six foot (6') wide sidewalk shall be installed on the developing side of the street, If the street is a dead-end street requiring a cul-de-sac, then the devel- oping parcel shall dedicate the remainder of the right-of-way for the cul-de-sac and con- struct the final complete cul-de-sac, includ- ing curb and sidewalk improvements. 3 D. Reduced Right -Of -Way Dedication Require- ments For Platting: The Department may approve a reduction in the required right-of-way width for residential access streets for new streets within a short plat or subdivision to forty two feet (42')_when the extra area from the reduction is used for the creation of an additional lot(s) which could not be platted without the reduction; or when the platting with the required right-of-way t width results in the creation of lots with less than one hundred feet (100') in depth. The Department may require additional ease- ments be provided for the franchise utilities outside of the dedicated, right of way when such a right-of-way reduction is approved. In no case shall a reduction in the required right-of-way width be approved unless it is shown that there will be no detrimental effect on the public health, safety or welfare if the right-of-way width is reduced, and that the full right-of-way width is not needed for current or future development. (Ord. 4521, 6-5-95) 4-34-12: DEFERRAL: A. Deferral And Security: If a developer wishes to defer certain street improvements listed in City of Renton 4-34-12 this Chapter until after obtaining a certifi- cate of occupancy for any structures, or in the case of plats,; final plat approval, then written application shall be made to the .Board of Public Works. Upon approval by the Board of Public Works for such deferment, for good cause shown by the applicant, the applicant shall thereupon furnish security to the City in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the estimated cost of the installation and required improvements. The decision of the Board of Public Works as to the amount of such security shall be con- clusive. ' B. Time Limit: Such security shall list the exact work that shall be performed by the appli- cant and shall specify that all of the deferred improvements shall be completed within the time specified by the Board of Public Works, and if no time is so specified, then not later than one year. The Board of Public Works shall annually review the deferred improve- ments and the amount of the security. Should the Board of Public Works determine that any improvement need not be installed immediately, then the Board of Public Works may extend the deferral for an additional period of time up to an additional year, Any improvement deferred for five (5) years shall be required to be installed or shall be waived, unless the Board' of Public Works determines that it is more likely than not that the improvements would be installed within an' additional five (5) year period of time, in which case the Board may continue to defer the improvements year to year sub- ject to the other conditions contained in this Section, Should any improvement be initiat- ed before the lapse of'a deferral, and the work is diligently pursued, then the Board of Public Works may extendthedeferral period for a term equivalent to the time necessary to complete construction, but subject, howev- er to continuation of the security. At the same time as the granting of any additional deferral, the security for such deferral shall be reviewed and increased or decreased as the Board of Public Works shall deem neces- sary, but shall remain in an amount equal to a' minimum of one hundred fifty percent 995 city 4-34-12 (150%) of the estimated cost of the installa- tion of the deferred improvement. ED C. Acceptable Security: Security _ acceptable under this Section may be cash, letter of credit, set aside letter, provided, that the funds cannot be withdrawn, spent, or com- mitted to any third party, or savings account assigned to the City and blocked as to with- drawal by the secured party without the City's approval. Only if these security devic- es are unavailable to the. applicant, or the applicant can show hardship, will the City accept a performance bond. Any security device must be _payable to the City upon demand by the City and not conditioned upon approval or other process involving the appli- cant. Security must be unequivocally commit- ted to the project being secured, and cannot be available for any other purpose. Any secu- rity that, according to its terms, lapses upon a date certain, will cause the ,deferral to lapse on that same date unless additional adequate substitute security has been posted prior to the termination date of the prior security. Each security document posted with the City must be approved by the City Attor- ney, whose decision as to the acceptability of , the security shall be conclusive, D. Proceeding Against Security: The City re- serves the right, in addition to all other rem- edies available to it by, law, to proceed against, such security or other payment in lieu thereof. In case of any suit or action to enforce any provisions of this Code, the de- veloper shall pay the City all costs incidental to such litigation including reasonable attorney'sfees. E. Binding Upon Applicant; The requirement of the posting of any security therefor shall be binding on the applicant and the applicant's heirs, successors and assigns. F. Notification To The Administrator: The Board of Public Works shall notify the Ad- ministrator in writing of the following: the improvements deferred, amount of security or check deposited, time limit of security or check, name of bonding company, and any other pertinent information. 4 t : of Renion 4-34-12 G. Security: 1. Whenever security has been accepted by the Board .ofPublic Works, then no release of the owner or developer upon that security shall be granted unless a new party will be obligated to perform the work as agreed in writing to be responsible under the security, and has provided security. In the instance where security would be provided by a condo- minium owners association or property own- ers association, then it shall be necessary for the owners association to have voted to as- sume the obligation before the City may accept the security, and a copy of the min- utes of the owners association duly certified shall be filed along with the security. 2. The City shall not be required to permit a substitution of one party for another on any security if the Board of Public Works, after full review, feels that the new owner does not provide sufficient security to the City that the improvements will be installed when required. H. Restrictive Covenants: A restrictive covenant running with the land, signed and properly recorded after City Attorney review, may be accepted;as.security if the covenant gaaran- tees that the property will join in any future limited improvement district established to install .the required improvements in addi- tion to the following conditions: 1. There, are no similar improvements in the vicinity and there is no likelihood that the improvements will be needed or required in the next five (5) years. 2. There will be no detrimental effect on the public health,; safety or welfare if the im- is provements are not installed. 3. There is no likelihood that the zoning or land use on or adjacent to the site will change to a higher classification within a five (5) year period, thus increasing the likeli- hood that the improvements will be needed. 4. A covenant approved by the Board of Pub- lic Works shall contain language that stipu- 4-34-13 lates the property owner will immediately install the deferred improvements at his or her expense upon a determination of the Board of Public Works that the improve- ments have become necessary. (Ord. 4521, 6-5-95) 4-34-13: WAIVERS: A. Waiver By The Board Of Public Works: The Board of Public Works may grant waiver of the installation of street improvements sub- " ject to the determination that there is rea- sonable justification for such waiver. Any v application for such a waiver shall specify in detail the reason for such requested waiver and may contain such evidence including photographs, maps, surveys as may be perti- nent thereto. Reasonable- justification shall include but not be limited to the following: u 1. Required street improvements will alter an existing wetlands or stream, or have a negative impact on a shorelines area. 2. Existing steep topography would make required street improvements infeasible. ^` 3. Required street improvements would have { a negative impact on other properties, such as restricting available access. r, 4. There are no similar improvements in the vicinity and there is little likelihood that the improvements will be needed or required in the next ten (10) years. In no case shall a waiver be granted unless it is shown that there will be no detrimental effect on the public health, safety or welfare if the improvements are not installed, and that the improvements are not needed for current or future development, B. Waiver Of Turnaround Requirement: The requirement for a turnaround or cul-de-sac may be waived by the Administrator with approval of the Fire Department when the development proposal will not create an increased need for emergency operations.

Numerous Geographically Separated Par- cels: Reserved. (Ord. 4551, 9-18-95) 4-35-4: HEARING AND APPEAL: A. Hearing: A hearing to consider a master site plan application, except for master site plans covered by Section 4-35-8, will be held before the Hearing Examiner following publication of notice in the same manner as for a site plan approval. The Hearing Examiner will have the same authority for approval, denial and modification as granted to 'him under Section 4-31-33E of this Title, except that the modifications may only relate to the master plan itself and the Hearing Examiner's approval should not require site specific details such as landscaping, buffer- ing, location of walkways, etc., except to establish general project criteria as set forth in Section 4-31-33D1 and 2 of this Title. The Hearing Examiner may determine that it is appropriate to issue a master site plan ap- proval, approve certain elements of the mas- ter site plan application, or conditionally approve and/or defer other elements or issues for administrative site plan review. For ex- ample, the Hearing Examiner could approve the setbacks and, approximate square footage of a building and defer the approval of the exact location to the administrative site plan review stage. B. Appeals: The final decision of the Hearing Examiner on a master site plan application will be appealable to the City Council within fourteen (14) days of the Hearing Examiner's decision, pursuant to Section 4-8-16 of this Title. (Ord. 4551, 9-18-95) 4-35-5: ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL OF INDIVIDUAL PHASES: A. City of Renton Once a master site plan ,has been approved - pursuant to Sections 4-35-4 or 4.35=8 and is still in effect, any individual phase, structure or improvement will be subject to individual site plan approval pursuant to Section 4-31-33 of this Title, except that the review and approval will be administrative in na 1295 C 4-35.5 ture and will not require a Hearing Examin- er hearing. B. As part of the administrative consideration of approval of individual phases of a master <; site plan, there shall be public notification of such application announcing that the appli- cation has been received and that the admin- istration is accepting public comment for a period of thirty (30) days. The public notice shall be posted and 'published in the same manner as would be a Hearing Examiner's notification of public hearing to consider a site plan approval. C. The administrative review shall be based upon an application 'conforming with the requirements and judged upon the criteria of Section 4-31-33 of this Title. Approval of the master site plan may have satisfied portions of Section 4-31-33 of this Title and the de - Pertinent administrator or his or her designee has discretion to waive those por- tions of the requirements of Section 4-31-33 v of this Title that have been satisfied by the master site ;plan approval; Whenever the department 'administrator or his or her designee .has discretion to note those por- tions of the requirements of Section 4-31-33 of this Title as having been satisfied by the master site, plan approval, such sections of the Code shall be detailed and that portion of the approved` master site plan 'wherein the requirements were satisfied shall be cited by the department administrator or his or her designee in the approval of the individual phase or phases and waive further consider- ation of them. There may be three (3) types of administrative site plan approval: 1) an approval that the application for individual site plan approval is consistent with the master site plan approval; 2)' an approval following a minor modification of the site plan approval pursuant to Section 4-35-6; and'3) an approval following major modifica- tion to the master site plan approval pursu- ant to Section 4-35-6. Any decision on an administrative' site plan approval shall be appealable as an administrative decision pursuant to Section 4-8-11 of this Title. (Ord. 4551, 9-18-95) < 1295 4-35-7 4-35-6: MODIFICATIONS: Major modification to an approved master site plan will require a hearing before the Hearing Examiner and an amended application pursuant to this Chapter. Major modifications involve a substantial change in the concept, intensity, density, use or phasing of the approved master site plan,` Minor modifications will be permitted by administrative ` determination. A minor modification shall be a modification that: A. Involves no more than a ten percent (10%) increase in square footage of the overall floor area over that proposed in the mastersite plan; B. Will not have a significantly greater" impact on the environment and facilities' than the approved plan; C. Does not change the boundaries of the origi- nally approved plan; or D. Alternatively, complies with the special de- velopment standards established under the Zoning Code such as the "P" suffix develop- ment standards for public facilities. E. Since the master site planning approval is a. ; conceptual process without a'; great deal of detail, substantial flexibility and discretion is granted to allow modifications under this Section. In determining whether a major or minor modification has been proposed; the department administrator or his or her designee will consider if the basic design plan, overall project, intensity and density are not changed. (Ord. 4551, 9-18-95) 4-35-7: TIME LIMITATIONS FOR OTHER THAN GOVERNMENTAL SITE PLANS: r: A. Validity Of Approval: The master site plan approval granted under Section 4-35-4'shall be valid for time established within that approval. Normally, master site plan approv- al pprov- al shall be for a period of six (6) to ten ((10) years. However, for projects of over one hun- dred (100) acres, upon;a showing of need, the Hearing Examiner can grant an approval City of Renton 4-35-7' that will be valid for up to twenty (20) years. The Hearing Examiner shall establish a duration for the validity of the master site planning approval based upon such factors as size, complexity, capital requirements, mar- ket necessitiesand other factors, but should be flexible in establishing the duration of the approval. B. Review 'Hearing: Whenever a master site plan approval is granted for more than ten (10) years, there shall be a review hearing of the approval at the end of ten (10) years. At that time the Hearing Examiner shall con- duct a public hearing to review the concepts and scope of the : project, the development pattern in the general area, changes in laws, and whether or not the project phases are being developed in the manner and timing as originally proposed in order to determine that the approval should remain in effect. The approval 'shall remain in effect unless the Hearing Examiner determines upon clear, cogent, and convincing evidence that there has been a substantial change in cir- cumstances, whether legal or factual, such that the project would not receive approval if considered initially at the time of the review hearing and would not be in the public inter- est,,in which case the master site plan ap- proval shall lapse and the project will no longer be considered vested under this Chap- ter. Such a determination by the 'Hearing Examiner would be appealable to the City Council as a decision under Section 4-35-4B. C. Time Limit And Extension: 1. Whenever master site plan approval has been given and the approval involves more than a single phase, then a time limitation shall be established for commencement of the first phase of the project. Subject to exten- sions of time as permitted in this Chapter, failure to commence construction of any individual phase within the time limits per- mitted, shall result in loss of master site plan approval. 2. A single two (2) year extension of any individual phase of the master site plan approval may be given, which two (2) year city. 4-35-9 extension of an individual phase shall like- wise extend the master site plan approval for two years, and the master site plan approval as a whole shall receive no more than a five (5) year extension without prior Hearing Examiner approval with respect to any indi- vidual phase, but the project as a whole shall receive no more _than a five (5) year exten- sion without prior Hearing Examiner approv- al. Such extension may given by the Hear- ing Examiner following public notification of the application for extension, but no public hearing shall be required for such extension unless the City, the applicant or some party showing the likelihood of actual monetary: or environmental damage requests such a pub- lic hearing. (Ord. 4551, 9-18-95) 4-35-8: GOVERNMENTAL SITE PLAN AP- PROVALS: Governmental units, in- cluding but not limited to any municipal corpora- tion established under the laws of the State which' are required to plan under` the Growth Manage- ment Act or otherwise, and are required to or have developed a capital facilities plan and funding plan, may obtain`a governmental master site plan approval. The application for the governmental site plan approval shall consist of the capital facilities plan and, if appropriate, a financing plan, together with that information required under Section 4-35-313The governmental master site plan approval for City projects shall be valid for six (6) years or the period covered by the capi- tal facilities plan, whichever is shorter. The gov- ernmental master site .plan may be approved following public hearing by the City Council if such hearing occurs in conjunction with Council consideration of the capital facilities plan required pursuant to chapter 36.70A. RCW, and by the Hearing Examiner for other governmental master site plan approvals. Any governmental' master site plan approval may be extended following any change to the capital facilities plan, financing, phasing or duration of the plan if it is determined by the administration that such change is not a major modification to the governmental master site plan approval. (Ord. 4551, 9-18-95) 4-35-9: RECOGNITION OF EXISTING,MAS- TER PLANS: Where there exists plans 1295 enton 4-36-9 4-35-11 of a nature essentially equivalent to a master plan; which have undergone City scrutiny and , have complied with SE PA, and which meet the M, general provisions; of this Chapter and have un- dergone al public hearing with proper. notification, . then the City may process a request to certify that existing .plan as an existing master plan for the number of years remaining on the previously ap- proved plan, just as if it had complied fully with , this Chapter. (Ord.'4551; 9-18-95) ,i 4-35-10: VESTING: The rights of an applicant under ;the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code to construct all elements, phases and improvements shown or described in a master site plan, if approved; or approved with conditions, shall vest upon master site plan approval At the r time of building permit application, or administra- tive site plan approval, the improvements shall be designed and approved pursuant to the then exist- ing codes such as the applicable Building Code, Fire -Code, Plumbing Code and other developmen- tal codes.

APPEALS OF ADMINISTRATIVE SITE PLAN APPROVALS: Any deci- ,. lion on an administrative site plan approval shall k+ be appealed'as an administrative decision pursu- ant to Section 4-8.11 of this Title. Any appellant must be seeking to protect an interest that is arguably within the zone of interest to be protect- , ed or regulated by this Chapter, must allege an injury in fact, and that injury must be real and present rather than speculative.

The burden of establishing that the agreement would be in the City's best interest would be on the party owing the fee and not; on the City. g. Definition: When the phrase "property which has not participated in development of the system" is used in this Section, it shall mean any of.the following: (1) First Time Water Connection; Any property which has not paid a system development charge for the property based upon the square footageof the property and which is connecting to Renton's water system for the first time (including but not limited to new con- struction, or conversion from a -private well). (2) Further Development Or Subdivi- sion: Any property which has not paid a system development charge for the property based upon the square.footage of the property that is to be servedby the utility and is developing ;or subdi- viding further. For example, one single- family residence ;of a five'(5) acre tract which has paid eight hundred 'fifty dollars ($850.00) under this Section to connect' to a water system will have paid only for one, seven thousand five hundred (7,500) square foot lot at'a rate of eleven point 'three cents<($0.113). Additional charges would be applied to 296 Cityo 8-4-41- / any additional development on the e property at the time of development. (3) Existing Developments: Property that was developed before the effective date of the first development' charge" ordinance in 1974 is exempted from the connection charge, ` Any rebuilding, , change in use or additions to exempted property that does not require addition- al water usage such that a fire hydrant, larger meter or irrigation meter is nec- essary, will not trigger a new connec- tion charge. However, when property is redeveloped or the use changed or in- tensified such that a larger water meter or additional water meters or a fire hydrant are necessary, or when no water meter was obtained before, such as property on a well, then any applies- tion for the initial water meter or a " larger water meter or installation of a fire hydrant will trigger a system devel- opment charge, except as provided here- in. For the purposes of this policy, such property when applying for an initial or larger water meter or installing a fire hydrant or irriga- tion meter shall be property that has not been previously assessed. h. Redevelopment Credit: An option "exists 3 for receiving a redevelopment credit for prop- erty which has not previously paid in full a system development charge. A redevelopment project that requires a larger water meter, or additional water meters, or a fire protection service for sprinklers, or a fire hydrant will trigger the water utility system development charge, However, any parcel that currently has water service is eligible' for a prorated system development charge. This prorated redevelopment charge is based on the follow- ing formula - (Proposed domestic meter(s) capacity in gal - Ions per minute - Existing domestic meter(s) ?}', capacity in GPM/Proposed domestic meter(s) capacity in GPM) x SDC Fee = Amount owed. Fire flow meters are not included in this calculation.

The application for temporary connection shall consist of a detailed plan and a boundary line of the proposed development service area for use in the fee determination. k. Installation Of A Water Meter: Installa- tion of a water meter solely for the purpose of providing irrigation water to City right of way is exempted from the connection charge. Installation of a water meter dedicated solely for the purpose of providing irrigation water for private landscaping (exempt meter) will be charged a fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the water system development charge appli- cable to the property. Said fee shall be nonrefundable, nontransferable (from one portion of the property to another) and shall not constitute a credit to the system develop- ment charge due at the time the fee may be assessed, against the, property by another use of the utility system. At the 'applicant's option, the full water system development charge may be paid instead of the ten per- cent (10%) payment described herein. 1. City -Owned Systems: No system develop- ment charge will be collected on City -owned properties. The benefits to the utility from the use of other City properties such as utili- ty easements, wells and other benefits, offset the amount of the system development charge. in. Limited Exemptions: A limited exemp- tion to the system development charge will be granted to Municipal corporations for portions of property subject to the system development charge to the extent that those specific areas available and maintained at all times for public use (e.g., ballfields adjacent to a school building) shall be segregated from the fee determination as herein provided. In applying this exemption to the extent possi- ble, a single straight line: shall be drawn across the property separating the exempt property from the property to be charged. If a single straight line would not achieve sub- stantial equity, then additional lines may be drawn to include substantial open space 296 City of Renton 8-4-41 areas in the exemption. For purposes of this exemption, substantial open space areas shall be at least one hundred thousand (100,000) square feet in area. Lines shall not be drawn closer than fifteen feet (15') to any structure. (1) Nonexempt Areas: Parking lots, driveways, walkways, similar areas and required landscape areas shall not be part of the exempt area. (2) Administrative Fees: The applicant shall pay the City's administrative costs for the preparation, processing and recording the segregated fee. At the time of application for system develop- ment charge` fee segregation the appli- cant shall pay the administrative fee of seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00). (3) Restrictive Covenants: The exemp- tion must be memorialized by means of a restrictive covenantrunningwith the land. Should the property: exempted under this Section later be developed or sold, then that property shall pay the system development charge fee in place at the time of development or property sale. (4) Interpretation Of Exemption: The Administrator of the Planning/Build- ing/Public Works Department shall make the final decision on the 'interpre- tation of this limited exemption and the achievement of substantial equity. n. Calculation Of Charges: When calculat- ing the area to be charged the system devel- opment charge, undeveloped greenbelt and major easements within the property shall not be included in the square footage for the calculation of the charge. When determining whether property is undeveloped greenbelt or major' easements, the inquiry should be to recorded easements, dedications or restric- tions on the Comprehensive Plan or zoning maps or City policies that would prevent development of significant usages. This ex- emption is intended not to charge property that is undevelopable.

(Ord, 4184, 11-; -1988) 8-445: CROSS•CONNECTION CONTROL: A. Purpose: 1. National standards of safe drinking water have been established. The City, as a water purveyor, has the primary responsibility for preventing 'water from unapproved sources, or any other substances, from entering the public potable water system, 2. This Section is to protect the health of the water consumer and the potability of ` the water in the distribution system. This is accomplished by eliminating or controlling all 'actual (direct) and potential (indirect) cross -connections between - potable and nonpotable systems through the use of ap- proved backflow prevention assemblies. 8-4-45 B. Definitions: AIR GAP: A physical vertical separation through the free atmosphere sufficient to prevent backflow between the free flowing discharge end of the potable water system and the overflow level of the receiving vessel, tank, plumbing fixture or any other system. Physically defined as a distance greater than or equal to twice the diameter of the supply pipe diameter, but in no case less than one inch (I"). APPROVED: Approved in writing by the Department of Health or other agency having jurisdiction. City of Renton ATMOSPHERIC VACUUM BREAKER: An assembly which prevents backsiphonage by creating an atmospheric vent when there is either a negative pressure or subatmospheric pressure in the water system. It is designed to protect against backsiphonage only. AUXILIARY SUPPLY: Any water source or system on or available to the premises other than the purveyor approved potable water supply. BACKFLOW: The flow of water or any other liquid, gas or substance from any source back into the distribution pipes of the potable water supply system. BACKFLOW PREVENTER: An approved assembly which prevents the backflow of water or any other liquid, gas or substance from any source back into the distribution pipes of the potable water supply system. BACKPRESSURE: Backflow caused by a pump, elevated tank, boiler or other means that could create pressure within the system greater than the potable water supply sys- tem, BACKSIPHONAGE: The flow of water or any other liquid, gases or substances from any source back into the distribution pipes of the potable water supply system caused by the reduction of pressure in the potable water supply system.' 8-4-44 BAROMETRIC LOOP:. A fabricated a piping arrangement rising at least thirty five feet nr (35') at its topmost point above the highest rr " fixture it supplies. It is used in water supply systems to protect against backsiphonage only. ?, CONTAMINANT: A substance that will im- pair the quality of the water to a degree that it creates a serious health hazard, azt. lT CROSS -CONNECTION:' An y physical or s il; potential arrangement whereby a : public ^" ' water; system is connected, directly or indi- t rectly,with any other nonpotable: water sys- tem, ,drain, sewer, f, conduit, ,pool, storage reservoir, plumbing fixture or other device `+ which contains, or maycontain, contaminat- ed water, sewer or other waste liquid of un- knownor unsafe quality which may be capa- ble of imparting contamination to the public water system as a result of backnow. Bypass arrangements, jumper connections, remov- able sections, swivel or change devices, -over or other, temporary or permanent devices through which'backflow may occur are con- sidered to be cross -connections. + DOUBLE CHECK VALVE ASSEMBLY. An approved assembly composed of two (2)_sin- gle, independently acting check valves, either spring` loaded or internally weighted, in- stalled as a unit between two (2) tightly closing shutoff valves and having suitable connections for testing. HEALTH HAZARD: A physical or toxic haz- ard which could be dangerous to health. POLLUTION: A hazard which could cause aesthetic problems or have a detrimental effect on the quality of water in the potable system, POTABLE WATER: Water which is safe for human consumption, as described by the Public health authority having jurisdiction, PRESSURE VACUUM BREAKER: An assem- bly consisting of a spring loaded check valve and independently operating air inlet valve, inlet and discharge shutoff valve, and prop-. 296 City o/'Re 8-4-45 erly installed test cocks. The air inlet valve is internally loaded to the open position, normally by; means of a spring. This internal loading allows the assembly to be installed on the pressure side of a shutoff valve: It is designed to protect against backsiphonage only. REDUCED PRESSURE PRINCIPLE BACKFLOW PREVENTER: An assembly consisting of two (2) independently acting spring operated check valves, separated by a spring loaded differential pressure relief valve, which is installed as a unit between two (2) tightly closing shutoff valves' and having suitable connections for testing. C. Application: This Chapter applies throughout the water service area of the City. It applies to all systems installed prior to or after its enactment. Therefore, anyone: wanting or `N using water from the City is responsible for compliance with these regulations and shall be strictly liable for all damage incurred as a result of failure to comply with the express terms and provisions contained herein. D. Enforcement: The Administrator of the De- partment of Planning/Building/Public Works `' ` will administer the provisions of the Chap- k >i ter. He/she will designate cross -connection specialists and propound all needful rules and regulations to implement these provi- sions. The Water Utilities Section of the Utilities Systems Division will be responsible for monitoring and inspecting all existing -connection cross assemblies and for keeping 's all records generated by the cross -connection control program. The Plan Review Section of the Development Services Division will ,be ai responsible for reviewing all new and revised plans for cross -connections.

Latecomer Fees: The imposition, collec- time construction permits are issued for con- nection to or extension of the public sewer; or fics tion, payment, and other speciconcerning are detailed in Chapter 5, Title DX in the absence of the requirement for a this charge of this Code. 2. Special Assessment_ Charge: The special assessment charge is a charge for the histori- cal costs for the sewer collection system, which system shall include the sewer collec- tion mains that lie adjacent to or near proper- ties that would benefit directly therefrom, that'were not installed by LIN or be a nt. vate developer under a latecomer agreement. The 'imposition, collection, payment, and other specifics concerning this charge are detailed in Sections 9-16-6, 9-16-7 and 9-16-8 of this Code. (Ord. 4505 4.10-1995) 3. System Development Charge: The system development charge which shall be assessed against any property which has not partici- pated in the development of the sewer sys- { tem, which system shall include lift stations, force mains, interceptors and other collection mains, shall be assessed at the rate of. k t 397 City of Renton 8-5-17 public works permit, then at the time of granting the building permit. All other sani- tary sewer service applicants shall pay these fees at the time of building sewer applica- tion. f. Fees Upon Sale: Fees are due immedi- ately if the party owing the fee sells to a third party, unless the third party agrees to pay the charge, in writing, with the amount owing to the City -set forth in that writing, and further the City agrees that the third party shall be responsible for that fee after determination that such an agreement would be in the City's best interest. The burden of establishing the agreement would be on the party owing, the fee and not on the City, and would be in the City's best interest. g Definition: When the phrase "property which has not participated in development of the ;:system" 'is used in this Section, it shall mean any, of the following: (1) First Time Sewer Connection: Any property whichhas not paid a system development charge for the property based upon the square footage of the property and which is connecting to Renton's sewer system for the first time (including but not limited to new con- struction, or conversion from septic system). (2) Further Development Or Subdivi- sion: Any property which has not paid a system development charge for the property based upon the square footage of the property that is to be served by the utility and is developing or subdi- viding further. For example, one single- family residence on a five (5) acre tract which has paid five hundred eighty five dollars ($585.00) under this Section to connect to a sewer system will have paid only for one, seven thousand five hundred (7,500) square foot lot at the rate of seven point eight cents ($0,078). Additional charges would be applied to any additional development on the property at the time of development. City of Renton 8-5-1'7 (3) Larger Or Additional Water Meters: Any property which has not paid a system development _ charge for the property based upon the square footage of the property that is to be served by the utility and that requests or requires a larger or additional domestic water meter(s) will trigger a system develop- ment charge. (4) Redevelopment Credit: An option exists for receiving a redevelopment credit for property which has not previ- ously paid in full a system development charge. A redevelopment project that requires a larger water meter, or addi- tional domestic water meter(s), will trigger the sewer utility system devel- opment, charge. However, any parcel that currently has water service is eligible for a prorated system develop- ment charge. This prorated develop- ment charge is based on the, following formula: (Proposed domestic meter(s) capacity in gallons per minute (GPM) - Existing domestic meter(s) capacity in GPM/Proposed domestic meter(s) capac- ity in GPM) x SDC Fee = Amount owed. Fire flow meters are not included in this calculation. For example, a redevelopment project that involves a change' from a "single- family home on a ten thousand (10,000) square foot lot with a five -eighths inch by three-quarter inch meter (Ve' x s/,", a standard single-family meter) that has a safe operating capacity of twenty (20) gallons per minute (GPM), to a four (4) unit multi -family dwelling with a one and one-half inch (1'/2') meter with a safe operating capacity of one hundred (100) GPM can apply to pay for the following prorated charge: (100 GPM - 20 GPM/100 GPM) =,0.8 0.8 x (10,000 sq. ft. x_$0.078/sq. ft.) $624.00 995 8-5-17 Without the redevelopment credit, this project would have paid $0.078/sq. ft. x 10,000 sq. ft. = $780 00 The City will determine the safe maxi- mum operating capacities of all meter sizes using American Water Works Association tables (see Chapter 4 of this Title). The fee paidshall be recorded and applied to the total system develop- ment charge applicable for the parcel. Reduction in water meter capacity shall not result in a payment from the City to the applicant. (5) Fire Protection Credit: Installation of a water meter solely for a fire protec- tion system, such as a new hydrant or fire sprinkler system shall not trigger a sewer system development fee. h. Short -Term Use: Temporary connections to the City's sewage system may be granted for a one-time, temporary, short-term use of a portion of the property for a period not to exceed three (3)'consecutive years. Permis- sion for temporary connection may be grant- ed upon' payment of an annual 'fee equal to ten percent (10%v) of the current system de- velopment charge applicable to that portion of the property; but not less than seven hun- dred fifty, dollars ($750.00) per year. Said fee shall be paid annually (nonprorated), and shall be nonrefundable, nontransferable (from one portion of the property to another) and shall not constitute a credit to the sys- tem development charge due at the time of permanent use of the utility system. The application for temporary connection shall consist of a detailed plan and a boundary line of the proposed development service area for use in the fee determination. - i. City -Owned Property: No system devel- opment charge will be collected on City - owned properties. The benefits to the utility from the use of other City properties such as utility easements, lift stations and other benefits offset the -amount of the system development charge, 996' 8-5-17 S j. Limited Exemptions: A limited exemp x tion to the system development charge will be granted to Municipal corporations for portions of property subject to the system j development charge to the extent that those specific areas available and maintained at all times for public use (e.g., ballfields adjacent to a school building) shall be segregated from the fee determination as herein provided. In applying this exemption to the extent possi- ble, a single straight line shall be drawn across the property separating the exempt property from the property to be charged. If a single straight line would not achieve sub- stantial equity, then additional lines may be drawn to include substantial open space areas in the exemption. For purposes of this exemption, substantial open- space areas shall be at least one hundred thousand (100,000) square feet in area. Lines shall not be drawn closer than fifteen feet (15') to any structure. (1) Nonexempt Areas: Parking lots, driveways, walkways, similar areas and required landscape areas shall not be City of Renton part of the exempt area. k . ' (2) Administrative Fees: The applicant ' shall pay the City's administrative costs for the preparation, processing and recording the segregated fee. At the time of application` for system develop- ment charge segregation the applicant shall pay the administrative fee of sev- en hundred fifty dollars ($750.00). (3) Restrictive Covenants: The exemp- tion must be memorialized by means of a restrictive covenant running with the land. Should the property exempted under this Section later develop, then that property shall pay, the system development charge fee in place at the time of development. (4) Interpretation Of Partial Payment: The Administrator of, the Plan- ning/Building/Public Works Department shall make the final decision on the 8-5-17 interpretation of this limited exemption and the achievement of substantial equity. k. Calculation Of Charge: When calculat ing the area to be charged the System devel- opment charge, undeveloped greenbelt and major easements within the property shall not be included in the square footage for the calculation of the charge. When determining whether property is undeveloped greenbelt or major easements, the inquiry should be to recorded easements or dedications or restric- tions.on the Comprehensive Plan or zoning maps or City policies that would prevent development of significant usages. This ex- emption is intended not to charge property that is undevelopable. 1. Exemption For Wetland: When calculat- ing the area to be charged the development charge, Class I and II wetlands are exempt. It is the responsibility of the property owner or applicant to submit a study determining the classifications as Class I and/or II wetlands and a legal description of said wetlands so that these portions of the prop- erty can be exempted from the development charge: Classification of wetlands will be based upon the rating system as outlined in Chapter 32, Title IV of this Code and any subsequent amendments thereto. m. Segregation Criteria: The ability exists develop- for the segregation of the system develop - ment charge in the partial development of a large parcel of property. This segregation shall be based on the following criteria and rules: (1) Segregation By Plat Or Short -Plat: The system development charge shall be determined on the basis of the spa- cific platted properties being developed regardless of the parcel size. Unplatted or large platted parcels may be platted or short -platted prior to development, in which case the system development charge will be applied to the specific platted lots being developed. 8-5-17 n. Partial Payment: The ability exists for the partial payment of the system develop- ment charge based erceritage of the upon p property developed. The owner may apply for partial payment of the fee on a percentage - based prorated basis proportional to the percentage of the parcel which will be devel- oped. The application shall consist of a de- tailed plan, drafted to current adopted City standards, of the proposed development, which shall include a proposed boundary line for the system development charge fee deter- mination, and a statement of the total area of the property and the area of the developed portion in square feet. The following criteria shall determine the partial payment of fees: (1) Application Of Provisions: This pro- vision shall apply to all developments with the exception of single-family resi- dential and mobile home developments. (2) Determination Of Charge: The Bys- tem development charge shall be deter- mined on the basis of the percentage, of a property that is developed (existing development plus proposed develop- ment). 4 , (3) Full Development: For the purpose of this Code, full development is consid- ered to be sixty percent (60%) property coverage for multi -family development and eighty percent (80%) property cov- erage for commercial, industrial, mixed use, and all other development. "Prop-, arty coverage" is defined as the portion of the property supporting buildings, driveways and sidewalks, parking ar- eas, grass and landscape areas, public access areas, storm drainage facilities and detention ponds, and improvements required for mitigation of environmen- tal impacts under the State Environ- mental Policy Act (SEPA).

Pressure grouts and gels are not acceptable for rehabilitation or patching of storm and sanitary sewers. O. Suitability of pipe lining and gasket material to resist chemical attack by conveyed fluids must be determined for each pipeline service considered. P. All storm and sanitary sewer manholes, catch basins, and inlets should be equipped with precast concrete bottom and sidewalls with rubber gasketed joints between sections, water- tight epoxy grout pipe entrances through walls, and bitumastic coating of all interior floor and wall surfaces.' Manholes, catch basins, and inlets should have no leakage when hydrostatically tested at atmos heric ressure. q• Has good resistance to a number of chemicals, petroleum products, and hydrogen sulfide corrosion. Exhibit 4 (cont.) ` CONSIDERATIONS ON SELECTION OF PIPE MATERIALS (coat.) r. .Zero leakage" test requirement may be Impossible to achieve under the best conditions for any pipe materials because trappedair may distort test results, even in a drop -tight pipe. Pressure and leakage test requirements should consider whether the pipe has steel slope or Will stand full of liquid. Pipelines should be tested with the intent to prevent or minimize leakage. Air testing should not be allowed; hydrostatic testing should be as stringent as any found In the industry.
