RE: File No. SP-338-79; Michael N. Read; Appeal of Examiner's
Decision.
Dear Council Members:
In the Examiner's Report and Recommendation regarding the..'referenced
request,' 'dated May 22, 1979, the Examiner recommended denial of the
application for reasons denoted in the conclusions. A letter was
also transmitted to the" City,Council from the Examiner on June 1.,' ,
1979, regarding the Examiner's power to issue a special permit in
situations beyond those specifically enumerated in various zoning
provisions.
A -request for reconsideration was received from the applicant on
May 30, 1979, and following further review, it was determined by
the'Examiner that the previous recommendation should be upheld.'
On June 13; 1979, an appeal to the City Council was received. In
accordance with ordinance requirements, the matter will be placed
on the Council agenda on July 2, 1979. The Examiner's Report and
Recommendation as well as all correspondence regarding this
application are attached for your review.
Sincerely,

RE: File No. SP-338-79; Michael N. Read Special Permit.
•
Dear Mr. Read: •
I have reviewed your request for reconsideration in the above entitled
matter. I find that no new arguments have been advanced to cause me
to modify my previous decision.
•
Again let me point out that if, the special permit were available to
review any use for possible location in an otherwise less intensive •
district, the use which you propose could conceivably be located in
an R-2, R-3 or R-4 zone and quite possibly in any zone if designed
and 'operated so that it is compatible. It is not my belief that the.
Examiner,has been vested .with such power: The power to issue special
permits is limited to those enumerated in the code, and any additional
authorization must be extended by the City Council. •
The decision of the Examiner in the above entitled manner stands..
Your right .to appeal to the City Council remains unaffected by this
decision if you should wish to pursue that course. A new appeal
period has been established to expire on June 15, 1979.

re: File No. SP-338-79
Dear Mr. Kaufman,
We request reconsideration of your denial of our application for special permit
for an integrated office/storage use ( Renton Business Park) in a B-1 zone. We
respectfully submit the following:-
Sections 4-711 (B-1 Business District) and 4-712 (L-1 Light Industry District)
do not specifically. refer to "self-service storage" or "mini-warehouses", and
it was because of thislack of definition that we were advised by the Planning
Department to seek a special permit as this process was installed to provide
the flexibility of " use determination" under the code.
Section 4-3101 (2), states the intent of the Renton Developmental Guidelines
Ordinance, and includes seven basic guidelines for making consistent and ration-
al decisions and recommendations, none of which limit the powers of the Hearing
Examiner to grant' special permits for only those uses stated in your report, i.e.
lumber yards and fuel yards 4-711 (7) and churches•4-706 (3). It is our position
that it was not the intent of the ordinance to so severely limit the powers of
the Hearing Examiner.
Uses permitted in the B-1 zone include the following:-
4-711 (9) Parking lots
4-711 (11) Public garages... which are further defined in 4-702 (10) as
" any premisesfor the storage or housing of more than three
(3) towable or motor driven vehicles or where such vehicles
are repaired or kept for hire or sale.
4-711 (14) Sales rooms or store rooms for motor vehicles or other items
of merchandise.
It is our position that self-service storage is a service business, serving the
general public and is particularly suited to a B-1 district, especially if-that
neighborhood has a high percentage of high density residential use such as
condominiums, apartments ortrailer parks, as is so in this case. There is an .
increasing demand for storage facilities to accomodate the personal belongings
of the residents of these areas, as well as storage of trailers and boats for
which on-street parking is prohibited. Item (3) in Section 4-3101 states the
intent to " promote aesthetics, amenities and good design", which cannot be
accomplished without careful consideration of new amenities that become apparent
due to changing life-styles.
It is also our position that the term warehouse as permitted outright in the L-1
zone is intended to mean the commercial use of such a building, i.e. one which
is used for the storage or distribution of goods held as stock-in-trade or
inventory for use in conducting a business.
We sincerely hope that this will clarify our position and provide you with
sufficient additional information to enable you to reconsider our application
based on our intended use rather than on the nomenclature or the type of building
involved.
Yours Truly,
Michael N. Read

The Planning and Development Committee has considered the appeal
of the above-mentioned decision dated May 22 , 1979 , and recommends
that the City Council reverse the decision of the Hearing Examiner
based upon the following error of law:
Conclusion No. 6 , 7 and 8 are in error in that the
intended use, a self-service storage facility, is
similar to the specific uses set forth in Section
4-711 (A) of the Zoning Code as to allow the use
under the present B-1 Zoning Ordinance as a matter
of right.
The Committee recommends that the City Council find that the
' proposed use is a similar use to the specific uses allowed in the
B-1 Zone, and conclude that the proposed use is allowed as a matter
of right in the B-1 Zone. The decision of the Hearing Examiner
should be reversed, and an order entered that the proposed use is
allowed in the B-1 Zone.

Re: File No. SP-338-79 C�%`lR SFE\C�
Michael N. Read, Special Permit coe! lEOE6Zg2���
Dear Council Members:
We wish to appeal the Hearing Examiner' s denial of our application,
and subsequent request for reconsideration of the referenced application
for a special permit for an integrated office/storage use (Renton Business
Park) in a B-1 Zone, based on our assertion that the Hearing Examiner
made errors in interpretation of both the intent and the letter of the
law, and the facts of this particular case as outlined in the following:
ERRORS IN THE HEARING EXAMINER'S INTERPRETATION OF THE SPECIAL PERMIT PROCESS
1 . In his Report and Recommendations dated May 22, 1979, he states that
• (page 4, paragraph 1 ) "it appears that the issuance of a special permit
is limited to those types of uses which are enumerated in Sections
4-711 .A. (7) i.e. lumber yards and fuel yards, and 4-711 .A. (20) mobile
home parks." We can find no reference anywhere in the code to substantiate
that conclusion.
2. He partially quotes 4-722(B) "a limited power to issue permits for such
uses is vested in the Hearing Examiner following recommendation by the
Planning Department," but in using that quote he omits the preceding
phrase of 4-722(B) which says "depending upon the facts of each particular
case. " This is a serious omission because it subverts the intent of
4-722(B) which is clearly to provide flexibility of the Hearing Examiner's
powers in conjunction with the recommendations of the Planning Department.
3. Furthermore., Section 4-722(B) recognizes that there are certain uses
of property that "may be detrimental to the public health, safety, morals
and general welfare, etc. " and does not refer to specific uses such as
lumber yards, fuel yards and mobile home parks.
4. The Hearing Examiner cites Section 4-3101 (2) using the words "the intent
of the zoning ordinance is to limit incompatible uses and it is left
to the Hearing Examiner to carry out this intent. " Whereas 4-3101 (2)
contains seven (7) basic guidelines of which the above quote is only
one. The other six guidelines are equally important and the intent of
4-3101 (2) implies a much broader interpretation. -
Members of the City Council -2- June 12, 1979
Re: File No. SP-338-79 (continued)
5. The Hearing ,Examiner's conclusions (page 4, para. 2) quote other examples
of "limited power" to issue special permits in zones other than a B-1
Zone. Our application only concerns the B-1 Zone, but the arguments
presented above would apply equally well as far as the intent of the
Code is concerned. The Hearing Examiner's conclusions (page 4, para.
3) are general in nature but are confusing and conflict with his prior
statements. For instance, his statement that a Hearing Examiner might
create wholesale rezoning or spot-zoning by permitting incompatible and
non-conforming uses "without causing suffering to the public health,
safety, morals and general welfare' would not be possible without complete
subversion of duty by the Hearing Examiner. Such an event is not likely
given the input from the Planning Department and the public hearing
process.
The Hearing Examiner's conclusions 4 and 5 appear only to reinforce an
already confused and conflicting set of statements.
THE INTENT OF THE ORDINANCE REGARDING THE SPECIAL PERMIT PROCESS
The reason for including lumber yards and fuel yards, etc. it-1, 4.-711- (A)
is to give examples of those uses in a B-1 Zone that are potentially
incompatible and therefore subject to a special review and permit process.
For instance, the potential incompatibility of a lumber yard could be due
to large outside storage facilities, large storage buildings, movement of
large-vehicles., etc. In reviewing a request for a special permit for such
a use in a B-1 Zone the Hearing. Examiner's review process should be based
'on a logical determination of compatibility of use as suggested below.
a. does the facility exist to provide goods/services to the general
public on a daily basis.
b. does the general public have continuing access to the facility.
c. is the general public better served by having the facility located
in a close-in B-1 Zone, or would they be inconvenienced by restrict-
ing the facility to a more intensive zone outside the City.
These determinations can be made based upon the input from the Planning Department
recommendation and the testimony given at the public hearing.
At this point we draw your attention to the PRELIMINARY REPORT OF THE
HEARING EXAMINER dated May 15, . 1979, which contains the impact assessments
of this File No. from the relevant City departments, including the Planning
Department,,which all recommend approval subject to certain conditions, to
which we have responded with complete cooperation. .
CONCLUSION
It is our conclusion, one in which we are supported by the Planning Depart-
ment, that the Hearing Examiner's interpretation of the special permit provision
is so narrow and restrictive as to render the intent of the ordinance and
the hearing process itself to be severely compromised and incompatible with the
'function of the Planning Department and the requirements of rational land use.
Members of the City Council -3- June 12, 1979
Re: File No. SP-338-79 (continued)
ERRORS IN THE HEARING EXAMINER'S INTERPRETATION OF THE FACTS OF THIS APPLICATION
1 . In his report (pages 4, 5. paragraphs 6, 7, 8) the Hearing Examiner
concludes that a self-service storage facility is not a "similar use" to
those permitted outright in a B-1 Zone, i .e. one 'normally frequented
by the general public," but is more analogous to "warehousing" which
is a permitted use in a L-1 (Light Industry) Zone.
We would like to draw your, attention to some of the uses permitted out-
right in a B-1 Zone.
4-711 (9) Parking lots
4-711 (11 ) Public garages: . . (which are further defined in 4-702(10)
as "any premises for the storage or housing of more than
three (3) towable or motor driven vehicles or where such
vehicles are repaired or kept for hire or sale
4-711 (14) Sales rooms or store rooms for motor vehicles or other
items of merchandise.
We submit that all the uses involved in a self-service storage facility are
contained in the above three permitted uses. It is our position that
self-service storage is a service business, serving the general public,
and is particularly suited to a B-1 district, especially if that neighbor-
hood has a high percentage of multiple residences such as condominiums,
apartment or mobile home parks., as is so in this case. The development
of such areas creates an increasing demand for storage facilities to
accommodate the personal belongings of the residents, as well as storage
of motor vehicles, trailers and boats for which onsite parking is limited
and on-street parking is prohibited. Item (3) in Section 4-3101 :states
the intent to "promote aesthetics., amenities and good design," which cannot
be accomplished without careful consideration of new amenities that become
apparent due to changing lifestyles.
2. We also submit that the term "warehouse" as permitted outright in an
L-1 Zone, 'is a premises to which the general public does not have access
and is intended to mean .the commercial use of such a building, i.e. one
which is used for the storage and/or distribution of goods held as stock-
in-trade or inventory for conducting a commercial business enterprise.
Therefore, 'we must conclude that the Hearing Examiner has not judged.
our application on the "compatibility of use" but more on the "termin-
ology" which only does further injustice to the intent of the ordinance.
It is our intention that the Renton Business Park be a seven and one-half
acre business park providing a large range of services to the general
public on a day-to-day basis, within easy reach of the local residents.
The project has been designed by Kenneth D. Long., A.I.A. , who has been
a leader in providing some of the most aesthetically outstanding business
buildings in our area. The office and storage buildings have coordinated
exterior elevations and the storage buildings are of an entirely new

concept that provides access to the individual storage units from inside
corridors., rather than rows of outside doors. In fact what we have
created is a planned unit business development which may well become a
landmark of land use planning and design.
We look forward to having the opportunity to discuss our application in greater
detail with the members of the Planning Committee of the City Council , and
sincerely hope that you will reaffirm the intent of the Ordinance., and advise
the Hearing Examiner to use the discretion that his office was created to

RE: File No. SP-338-79: Michael N. Read Special Permit.
Dear Mr. Read: -
I have reviewed your request for reconsideration in the above entitled
matter: I find that no new arguments have been advanced to cause me
to modify my previous decision.
Again let me point out that if the special permit were available to
review any use for possible location in an otherwise less intensive
district, the use which you propose could conceivably be located in
an R-2, R-3 or R-4 zone and quite possibly in any zone if designed
and operated so that it is compatible. It is not my belief that the
' Examiner has been vested with such power. The power to issue special
permits is limited to those enumerated in the code, and any additional
authorization must be extended by the City Council.
The decision of the Examiner in the above entitled manner stands.
Your right to aPpeal. to the City Council remains unaffected by this
decision if you should wish to pursue that course. A new appeal
period has been established to expire on June 15, 1979.

Fred J. Kaufman, Hearing Examiner

Renton, Wa. 98055.
re: File No. SP-338-79
Dear Mr. Kaufman,
We request reconsideration of your denial of our application for special permit
for an integrated office/storage use ( Renton Business Park) in a B-1 zone. We
respectfully submit the following:-
Sections 4-711 (B-1 Business District) and 4-712 (L-1 Light Industry District)
do not specifically refer to "self-service storage" or "mini-warehouses" , and
it was because of thislack of definition that we were advised by the Planning
Department to seek a special permit as this process was installed to provide
the flexibility of " use determination" under the code.
Section 4-3101 (2) , states the intent of the Renton Developmental Guidelines
Ordinance, and includes seven basic guidelines for making consistent and ration-
al decisions and recommendations, none of which limit the powers of the Hearing
Examiner to grant special permits for only those uses stated in your report, i .e.
lumber yards and fuel yards 4-711 (7) and churches 4-706 (3). It is our position
that it was not the intent of the ordinance to so severely limit the powers of
the Hearing Examiner.
Uses permitted in the B-1 zone include the following:-
4-711 (9) Parking lots
4-711 (.11) Public garages. . . which are further defined in 4-702 (10) as
" any premisesfor the storage or housing of more than three
(3) towable or motor driven vehicles or where such vehicles
are repaired or kept for hire or sale.
4-711 (14) Sales rooms or store rooms for motor vehicles or other items
of merchandise.
It is our position that self-service storage is a service business, serving the
general public and is particularly suited to a B-1 district, especially if that
neighborhood has a high percentage of high density residential use such as
condominiums , apartments ortrailer parks, as is so in this case. There is an
increasing demand for storage facilities to accomodate the personal belongings
of the residents of these areas, as well as storage of trailers and boats for
which on-street parking is prohibited. Item (3) in Section 4-3101 states the
intent to " promote aesthetics, amenities and good design", which cannot be
accomplished without careful consideration of new amenities that become apparent
due to changing life-styles.
It is also our position that the term warehouse as permitted outright in the L-1
zone is intended to mean the commercial use of such a building, i .e. one which
is used for the storage or distribution of goods held as stock-in-trade or
inventory for use in conducting a business.
We sincerely hope that this will clarify our position and provide you with
sufficient additional information to enable you to reconsider our application
based on our intended use rather than on the nomenclature or the type of building
involved.
Yours Truly,

most public storage facilities have the appearance of warehouses and are designated as
mini-warehouses. The Examiner advised the probable necessity of clarification of the
city's policy regarding the proposed use within the zoning code.
Referencing Section I.2 of Exhibit #1 which reflects employment estimates for office/
retail use, Mr. Read advised that retail use is not proposed on the site and employment
figures should be revised to reflect substantial reduction of impact upon traffic volumes
in the area: He indicated concurrence in recommendations contained within Exhibit #1 with
the exception of Section M.2 which requires dedication and provision for future improvement •
•
of a public street to serve properties to the north along the west property line, and advised
that unsuccessful attempts have been 'made to acquire said property, and the applicant would
prefer to provide a 30-foot setback on the northern boundary to accommodate future provision
of access at such time as the city can obtain the necessary property. He also requested
clarification of Section M.4 which states that the applicant shall participate in the
provision of a two-way left_ tur-n lane on N.E. 4th Street fronting the subject property.
'Warren Gonnason, Public Works Director, advised that the city has recently completed a
signalization and channelization project at the intersection of Monroe Avenue N.E. and
N.E. 4th Street and is currently in the process of programming a similar. improvement at
the intersection of Union Avenue N.E. and N.E. 4th Street east of the subject site. He
noted that in view of the expanded development located between these intersections., provision
for left turn movement will be. essential for the economic welfare of these properties, and
a suggestion to widen the street by 12 feet to provide a fifth lane for turning movements
is included in the .Six-Year Street Program; although he stated that participation by the
applicant may be burdensome because other properties in the vicinity have been allowed to
develop without such a provision, and it may be preferable to provide access to Monroe
Avenue N.E. to the west. Mr. Gonnason also. advised that the City Council has recently
discussed the possibility of installation of a raised curb in the center of N.E. 4th Street
to prohibit left turn movement altogether. The Examiner inquired if the City Council had
yet proposed legislation to prohibit left turn movements. Mr. Gonnason advised that such
legislation may be a possibility. Mr. Read inquired regarding method of assessment for
the Local Improvement District for roadway improvements. Mr. Gonnason indicated that
assessments are estimated in accordance with benefit or front footage. Mr. Read, advised
the applicant's willingness to participate in the proposed project.
The Examiner referenced the concern of the Planning Department regarding the landlocked
situation of properties located north of the ,subject site and the 'proposal for additional
north-south access along the western boundary of the site, and inquired if the applicant
could be required to dedicate certain land for access although 150 feet of the western
frontage is not owned by the applicant. Mr. Gonnason indicated the departmental
preference for provision of east-west access westerly to Monroe Avenue N.E. since provision
Of additional access to N.E. 4th Street would be redundant.
•
Mr. Read indicated concern regarding the lack'of guidelines within the zoning code to -
enable the Examiner to review and approve a special permit for the proposed use. He
advised that prior to application, review with the Planning Department staff had occurred
and because specific reference to self-service storage use is not found in the B-1 zoning •
provisions, a special permit had been determined necessary. He noted that a tremendous
demand for storage facilities to accommodate personal belongings of apartment and
condominium dwellers has recently occurred as well as storage of trailers and boats for
which on-street parking is prohibited. He 'supported approval of the application for the
facility which will provide a necessary service to the public. The Examiner inquired
regarding differences between self-service storage facilities and mini-warehouses. Mr.
Read advised that a small storage unit of 5 'feet by 10 •feet with a single door will
accommodate personal effects, and the facility will also provide covered parking. He
noted that the power transmission easement covers approximately an acre of property, of
which half will be utilized for public or employee parking, and half for provision of
vehicle storage. Responding to the Examiner's inquiry regarding the 23-foot building
height, Mr. Read advised that the flexible internal design of the building will accommodate
a variety of needs and demands as they become apparent.
The Examiner requested testimony in support. or opposition to the application. There was no
response. He then requested additional comments from-the Planning Department representative.
Mr. Clemens stated that although the applicant has indicated in good faith the proposed use
on the site, dependent upon changes in development in the vicinity or change of ownership
of the property, the use may change, and therefore, 'the concern of the Planning Department
of impact upon traffic should be considered. ' He indicated concurrence in the.proposal of
the Public Works Department for an east-west access to Monroe Avenue N.E. but felt that
the matter of access should be addressed'prior to development. Regarding review of the
application through, the special permit process, Mr. 'Clemens indicated the departmental
opinion that the applicant is attempting to meet the intent of the B-1 zoning district, '
and review of the matter is within the Examiner's purview if justification for the request
is evident. ' •
The Examiner asked if the applicant concurred in the°-! pp proposed dedication of property along

OFFICE OF THE LAND USE HEARING EXAMINER
CITY OF RENTON
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION '
APPLICANT: Michael N. Read . FILE NO. SP-338-79
LOCATION: Vicinity of 3812 N.E. 4th Street.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Applicant requests approval of a Special Permit in a B-i ,zone
to develop a self-storage facility as an integrated office/
retail business park (Renton Business Park) . The proposed •
self-service storage is not designated a permitted use in the
B-1 District;.. however, the Special Permit (Section 4-722)
process allows the Hearing 'Examiner a limited power to grant
permits based upon the facts and merits of each case.
SUMMARY OF ACTION: Planning Department Recommendation: Approval with conditions.
Hearing' Examiner Decision: Denial.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT • The Planning Department preliminary report was received by the
REPORT: Examiner on May 10, 1979. • .
PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Planning Department report, examining '
available information on file with the application, and field
checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner
' conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows:
The.hearing was opened on May 15, 1979 at 10:20 a.m. in the Council 'Chambers of the Renton
Municipal Building.
Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner.
It was reported that the Hearing Examiner and the applicant had received and .reviewed the
Planning Department report, and the report was entered into the record as Exhibit #1.
David' Clemens, 'Associate Planner, reviewed Exhibit #1, and entered the following additional
exhibits into the record:
Exhibit #2: Site Plan as submitted .
Exhibit #3: Site Plan with staff comments •
Exhibit #4: Elevations and Landscaping Plan
Exhibit #5: Floor Plan for• Buildings 5 and 6 ,
The Examiner asked Mr. Clemens for the proposed height of the storage buildings ,from grade
level. Mr. Clemens indicated that height of proposed structures would be approximately
22 feet except a portion of. one building to be utilized for office space 'or security
eniployees•which,is proposed at approximately 31 feet. The Examiner inquired if development
of Phase I .would_occur prior to Phase II in view of landscaping requirements on Phase I
property abutting N.E. 4th Street. Mr. Clemens recommended that development occur in
phasing order beginning at the southern or front portion of the site and developing northerly .
' to the• rear of the property. He advised that if development proceeds from north to south,
• screening landscaping will be initially required adjacent to N.E. 4th Street.
The Examiner requested testimony by the applicant. Responding was:

'"•' `! The Examiner advised the applicant that preliminary review, of the zoning code indicates
,•'•,�?. that although there are certain uses having special circumstances which are allowed by
411 special permit in the B-1 zone, the requested use is not included, and therefore, approval
of the request is not within the Examiner's purview. He also noted that certain .uses in
;l;p; the L-1 arid M-P zones are more analogous. to self-service storage uses than those specified

landlocked parcels if the topographical limitations could be overcome. The applicant
indicated willingness to dedicate this land if necessary.
13. Other access problems were discussed because of the large traffic volumes along N.E.
4th Street and the expected growth along this corridor.
The record indicates that the applicant is prepared to join in the formation of a
Local Improvement District for the alteration of N.E. 4th Street.
14. During the public hearing on the above captioned matter, the Examiner expressed his
belief that,the special permit process was probably an inappropriate method of
introducing the so-called "self-service storage" facility into the Business (B-1)
District (Section 4-711) .
15. The zoning code provides specific enumerations when a special permit may be issued.
Section 4-711, the B-1 District, itself has two subsections which provide for the
issuance of a special permit. These are Sections 4-711. (A) . (7) - lumber yards and
'fuel yards; and Section 4-711. (A) . (20) - mobile home parks.
•
Similarly, in the R-1 District, Section 4-706. (3) provides that churches may be permitted
within that zone by special permit, and in the R-3 District, Section 4-709.A. (3) provides
for a number of uses which may be permitted by special permit.
CONCLUSIONS:
SPECIAL PERMIT
1. After further consideration of this issue subsequent to the public hearing, it appears
that the issuance of a special permit in the B-1 District is limited .to those types of
uses which are enumerated in Sections 4-711.A. (7) , lumber yards and fuel yards, and
4-711.A. (20) , mobile home parks. The procedure to be followed if one of these
enumerated uses was proposed is then subject to the criteria listed in Section 4-722.B,
the special permit provision. Any other interpretation would permit the incursion into
any •district, uses which are otherwise incompatible and not permitted. The intent of
the zoning ordinance is to limit incompatible uses and it is left to the Examiner to
carry out this intent (Section 4-3101. (2)) . Only "a limited power to issue permits for
such uses is vested in the Hearing Examiner. . ." (Section 4-722. (B) ) . This limited
power is subject to the particular constraints imposed by the particular districts
and should not be used by the Examiner to permit any type of use ih any district.
2. Other examples of this "limited power" to issue special permits are given below to
indicate that the policy appears to strictly limit the issuance of a special permit to
those uses enumerated and any power of the• Examiner to issue special permits beyond
those enumerated would subvert the policy and intent of the zoning code.
In a Residence Single Family (R-1). District, churches may be permitted by special
permit '(Section 4-706. (3) ) . In the R-3 Residence District, Section 4-709.A. (3),
provides for a number of uses which maybe permitted by special permit.
3. If the provisions of the special permit section were to overlay any district allowing
any use in any district, there could be wholesale rezoning or "spot zoning" of parcels
within districts for uses which would otherwise be deemed incompatible. This could
be done upon a finding by the Examiner that the incompatible and non-conforming use
could be carried out so that the public health, safety, morals and general welfare
did not suffer. This cannot be the intent of the City Council and such an interpretation
of the special permit provisions of the zoning code would totally subvert the separate
and distinct use districts which the City Council created after thorough deliberation.
4. To read the provisions which grant the Examiner the power to approve a special permit
in any other way would cause those sections which specifically enumerate uses where a
special permit may be issued to be meaningless. In other words, if the Examiner may
grant a special permit at any time the factual situation warrants, then why should
the code list specific instances when the Examiner may grant a special permit.
5. A special permit is therefore not available to introduce the proposed use, a self-
service storage facility into a B-1 zone as the intended use is not one of the
enumerated specially permitted uses.
SIMILAR USE
6. The denial of the special permit raises a second issue. This is whether the intended
use, a self-service storage facility, more familiarly (if not accurately) described
as amini-warehouse, is a "similar use" to those permitted outright in the B-1 District
(Section 4-711. (A) ) . • Th'e intended Use by whatever name does not appear to be "similar"
• to those permitted in the B-1 zone.'

the northern boundary. Mr. Read indicated his concurrence with the understanding that the
' dedication would be limited to the northern 30 feet of the site. He also advised that due
to the topography from the northwestern corner of the site along the'entire northern
boundary, provision of-a street may not be possible. •
The Examiner requested further comments. Since there were none, the hearing on File No.
SP-338-79 was closed by the Examiner at 11:10 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, & DECISION: Having reviewed the record in this matter; the Examiner
now makes and enters the following:
•
FINDINGS:
1. The request its for approval of a special permit to permit the establishment of a self-
service storage facility in a Business (B-1) District.
2. The, Planning Departnient. report accurately sets forth the issues, findings of fact,
and departmental recommendations in this matter, and is hereby attached as- Exhibit #1
and incorporated in this reportby reference as set forth in full therein.
3. Pursuant to the City -of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental
Policy Act of 1971, R.C:W: 43.21.C. (as amended), a Declaration of lion-Significance
has been issued for. the subject proposal by Gordon Y. Ericksen, responsible official.
4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the
impact of this development. -
•
5. There was no opposition to the proposal expressed.
6. All existing utilities -are available and in close proximity.
7. The proposal is compatible with the required setbacks, lot coverage and' height . ' , - . •
requirements of Section 4-711 of Title 'IV, Ordinance No. 1628, Code of General Ordinances.
8. The -development is to include offices, parking. area for on-site storage of recreational
vehicles -and boats, and two self-service storage, facilities. It is this, latter use
which is the object of the application for a special permit.
9. The self-service storage buildings are both to be approximately 21 feet in .height, and
185 feet by 140 feet in area. These buildings are to be locatedon the eastern portion
of the site. The ,office buildings will be located in both the western half of :the site
and the southeastern corner of the -site. '
•
The.office buildings will cover, approximately 38,000 square- feet.- The recreational
vehicle parking will cover about 60,000 square feet, and the self-service storage
facility will cover approximately 29,000 square feet. '
•
10. The applicant indicated that contrary to the Planning Department report there are no
plans- to operate any retail sales operation-on the subject site. The space not
dedicated to R.V. storage and self-service storage will be used exclusively for office
use. •
The Planning- Department indicated, that while that is the present intended use, the
• permitted uses would enable the- establishment of retail sales oh the subject property.
In view of that 'possibility, they indicated the "worst case" results of traffic
circulation which is greater for retail sales operations. .
11. The applicant indicated his willingness to landscape the site in consultation with the
' Planning Department, including during the phased development of the subject site.
The applicant.also indicated that he would maintain as many of the existing trees as
possible at the north and west property lines.
•
12. The applicant proposes to construct the multi-purpose facility set back off of N.E.
4th Street. Access to 4th Street will be via two multi-lane, landscaped extensions
of the applicant's property 150 feet south (see attached map) .
Besides these two methods of ingress and egress, a possible entrance/exit was suggested
along. the west property line.. The apparent reason for 'this additional roadway is the
existence of some landlocked parcels. located north.of the- subject site. , The applicant
, ; indicated that he had attempted to acquire the right-of-way indicated but that the
owner was unwilling to either sell the property or convey an easement in it.
.,to The Publi.c .Works Department noted that a possible east-west roadway running along the
north property line toward Monroe Avenue N.E. would .be suitable for access to the
I
•
ti
SP-33u-i9 Page Five
•
7. The permitted uses are all either of a retail sales, personal .service of business '
office nature. Each of these uses appears to provide the type of facilities which •
are either required by the ordinary shopper or are required for the conduct of clerical
and professional type businesses. •
The "storage" facility proposed by the applicant is not usually the type frequented by
• shoppers on routine buying or repair trips. The proposed use is visited only for the
purpose of storing personal effects for "long-term" by those who do not have enough
personal storage space at their dwelling's. The use is more analogous to warehousing
although On an individualized self-service level. Warehousing is a permitted use in
the Light Industry (L-1) District (Section 4-712. (A) . (20) ) . It would therefore appear
that the appropriate district in which to locate the proposed facility would be an
District,. The proposed use would also use up land which is presently intended
for the direct distribution of goods and services needed on a daily basis by the
general public. •
8. If, as the applicant maintains, this is a new type of consumer oriented use and one •
which should of necessity be located nearer the consuming public, that is in the more
immediate B-1 zones, then it would. be up to the City Council to make that determination.
The Council can do that either by specifically permitting this "new" use outright in
a B-1 zone or allowing a "Special Permit" to be issued for such a use. The Examiner
should not permit this proposed use in a zone committed to the types of uses which are
now allowed in the B-i zone.
DECISION:
The Special Permit is denied and the proposed use should not be permitted in the B-1 zone.

APPLICANT : MICHAEL N . READ EXHIBIT NO
/
FILE NUMBER: SP-338-79 ITEM NO. 5- -
A. SUMMARY AND PURPOSE OF REQUEST :
The applicant requests approval of a Special Permit in a B-1
zone to develop a self-service storage facility as an integrated
office/retail business park (Renton Business Park) . The proposed
self-service storage is not designated a permitted use in the B- 1
District , however , the special permit (4-722 ) process allows the
Hearing Examiner a limited power to grant permits based upon the
facts and merits of each case . (Site development map attached)
B . GENERAL INFORMATION :
1 . Owner of Record MICHAEL N . READ for RENTON
BUSINESS PARK
2 . Applicant : MICHAEL N . READ
3 . Location : Vicinity of 3812 NE 4th Street
(Vicinity map attached)_.
4 . Legal Description : A detailed legal description is
available on file in the Renton
Planning Department.
5 . Size of Property : ±7 . 7 acres
6 . Access : }' Via NE 4th Street
7 . Exi-sting Zoning : B-1 , Business Use
8. Existing Zoning in the Area : B-1 ; "T" , Trailer Park ; GS-1 ,
General Classification District
9 . Comprehensive Land Use Plan : Commercial
10 . Notification : The applicant was notified in
writing of the hearing date . Notice
was properly published in the
Record Chronicle on May 4 , 1979
and posted in three places on or
near the site as required by City
Ordinance on May 3 , 1979 .
C . HISTORY/BACKGROUND :
The subject site was part of the original plat of the City of
Renton . It was rezoned to B-1 from S-1 by Ordinance #1510 dated
March 8, 1955 .
D. PHYSICAL BACKGROUND :
1 . Topography : Much of the site is a manmade terrace to the
east, however , a substantial depression/swale extends diagonally
through the site from the southwest to north .
2 . Soils : Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgC) . Permeability is
moderately rapid in the surface layer and subsoil and very slow in
the substratum. Runoff is slow to medium and the erosion hazard
is moderate . This soil is used for timber , pasture , berries ,
row crops and for urban development .

4. The site is divided east/west by a power transmission line
easement , as well as on-site topography. The proposal places
office/retail space at the west , public parking and exterior
RV storage under the power line , and storage buildings to the
east. The storage uses are separated both by a central slope
andlandscaped buffer from office/retail area .
5. Due both to topographic and foliage constraints , the applicant
proposes to retain a substantial number of the existing trees
within the development as well as in perimeter areas at the
north and west. The applicant has also delineated in a schematic
form landscaping for the interior portions of the site .
The Building Division in its comments concurs in the applicant ' s pro
posal to preserve the wooded character at the west of the site .
6. The proposed development has two points of access , the easterly
of which will primarily serve the storage portion of this
development. The central access will provide the major entry/exit
opportunity for this development . Based upon the traffic
analysis described in Section I , between 2000 and 4000 vehicle
turning movements will occur through the central driveway each
day. This heavy volume in conjunction with the current traffic
flow on NE 4th , and poor sight visibility to the east , substantial
traffic conflicts can be expected .
It should be further noted that three parcels to the north and
west of this site , and either zoned or shown, on the Comprehensive
Plan for Commercial or Multiple Family use are landlocked by
approval of this department. Future development of these properties
which must gain access to NE 4th could generate about 1400 trips
to the B-1 parcel , and 500 trips to the master planned , but not
currently zoned , multiple family parcels . The combination of
the subject development in conjunction with the adjoining parcels
to the north clearly suggests the need for public street access
through the subject site , or adjoining this site . .. There, is an
existing utility easement of 30 ' in width adjoining the property
line to the west of this site . Through provi si olv6f, right-of-way
on the westerly side of the subject site , and conversion of the
utility easement for public street purposes at some- future time ,
acceptable access could be ga-ined . However , - Public Works Department
review and recommendation on traffic needs for this entire block
should be sought.
7 . In addition to the question of traffic volumes , this development
and future development along NE 4th will most certainly bring with
it large numbers of vehicle turning movements . Provision of
a two-way left turn lane between Union Avenue and extending westerly
toward Monroe should be considered .
8. Traffic Engineering had no specific comments on this development .
9 . The Fire Depar-tment notes that the building construction must meet
Fire Code requirements for occupancy and fire flow requirements .
Type and number of fire protection devices shall be installed and
maintained in accordance with Fire Chief requirements . Fire
hydrants and access shall be installed and made serviceable
prior to any building construction .
10. Water and utility plans must be approvedb.r"Uti1ity Engineering
and standard service char9es will_. apply .
11 . Engineering advises that storm water retention is required ,
and that completion of necessary off-site improvements on NE 4th
is also required . ,

The employment 'esti:mate is probably high since the employment
for the storage -area Is based upon warehouse factors : A typical
self-servi'c.e, storage use (mini -storage ) would probably have a
more limited.' employment total . .

3 . Schools : Not Applicable ,
4: '' Social : Not Applicable .
5 . 'Traffic : The following is an estimate of the traffic impact
'-expected from this department :
Office 19300 sq . ft, 20 . 65 trips/1000 = . 400
Retail 19300 sq . ft . 110 trips/1000 = 2175
Storage 29000 sq . ft . 5 . 46 trips/1000 . 160
2685
The traffic flow assumes half retail and half office use .
Depending - upon the mix of retail - to office , the traffic impact
could range from a high of 4500 trips per day to a low of 600
trips per day . Based upon the current 19000 trips ' per day on
NE 4th' the proposed use will add between 3% and 24% to the current
traffic demand ,
J . • ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD DETERMINATION :
Pursuant to the City of Renton 's Environmental Ordinance and the
State ' En-vironmental Policy Act of 1971 , as amended , RCW 43-21C ,
a- declaration of. non -significance has been issued , based upon provision
of. adequate access , retention of the existing evergreen tree cover
to the maximum extent feasible , and preservation of the master planned/
integrated- approach to this development.

Attn: Dave Clemens re: Renton Business Park •
De7r Dave ,
this letter responds to your request for information ,
regarding the proposed phasing of the business pl.rk plan sub-
mitted April 17th.
Since the start of construction depends on many t';ings including
building permits, the bidding process and obtaining suitable
financing it' s hard to pin down. a start time for the project . My
best guess is that it would not 'start before September 1979.
Our 'pains for phasing are likeise affeted by many varir-bles
but our current thinking is as follows: -
HAS,:; 1 . Bldg.#4 which will serve a the business office for
the project n:1 the temporary entry, followed clos:,ly
by Rldg.'.5 -=nd the south half of the outside .stor-,ge
' rid• se::urity fencing, -nd the develo -nent of the west :
perman::nt entry and associated lndscaping.
PHASE 2. Bldg.. 3 and Bldg.#2 together :+ith associated parking
and lan iscaping.
PHASE 3.* Bldg.#6 and the balance of outside storage,- fencing and
landscaping. - •
PHASE 4.* Bl-dg.#1 and associated parking and landscaping.
* . Depending on ,how well the project is leasing, phases
3 and 4 may be reversed.
Yours Sincerely, / 0 NT\`

FILE NUMBER : SP-338-79
A . SUMMARY AND PURPOSE OF REQUEST :
The applicant requests approval of a Special Permit in a B-1
zone to develop a self-service storage facility as an integrated
office/retail business park (Renton Business Park) . The proposed
self-service storage is not designated a permitted use in the B- 1
District , however , the special permit (4-722 ) process allows the
Hearing Examiner a limited power to grant permits based upon the
facts and merits of each case . (Site development map attached)
B . GENERAL INFORMATION :
1 . Owner of Record; MICHAEL N . READ for RENTON
BUSINESS PARK
2 . Applicant : MICHAEL N . READ
3 . Location : Vicinity of 3812 NE 4th Street
(Vicinity map attached )
, 4 . Legal Description : A detailed legal description is
available on file in -.the Renton
Planning Department .
5 . Size of Property : ±7 . 7 acres
6. Access : Via NE 4th Street
7 . Existing Zoning : B-1 , Business Use
8. Existing Zoning in the Area : B-1 ; "T" , Trailer Park ; GS-1 ,
General Classification District
9 . Comprehensive Land Use Plan : Commercial
10. Notification : The applicant was notified in
writing of the hearing date . Notice
was properly published in the
Record Chronicle on May 4 , 1979
and posted in three places on or
near the site as required by City
Ordinance on May 3 , 1979 .
C . HISTORY/BACK'GROUND :
The subject site was part of the original plat of the City of
Renton . It was rezoned to B-1 -from S-1 by Ordinance #1510 dated
March 8, 1955 .
D. PHYSICAL BACKGROUND:
1 . Topography : Much of the site is a manmade terrace to the
east, however, a substantial depression/swale extends diagonally
through the site from the southwest to north .
2. Soils : Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgC) . Permeability is
moderately rapid in the surface layer and subsoil and very slow in
the substratum. Runoff is slow to medium and the erosion hazard
is moderate . This soil is used for timber , pasture , berries ,
row crops and for urban development.

4. The site is divided east/west by a power transmission line
easement, as well as on-site topography. The proposal places
office/retail space at the west , public parking and exterior
RV storage under the power line , and storage buildings to the
east. The storage uses are separated both by a central slope
and landscaped buffer from office/retail area .
5. Due both to topographic and foliage constraints , the applicant
proposes to retain a substantial number of the existing trees
within the development as well as in perimeter areas at the
north and west. The applicant has also delineated in a schematic
form landscaping for the interior portions of the site .
The Building Division in its comments concurs. in the applicant ' s pro•
posal to preserve the wooded character at the west of the site .
6 . The proposed development has two points of access , the easterly
of which will primarily serve the storage portion of this
development. The central access will provide the major _entry/exit
opportunity for this development . Based upon the traffic
analysis described in Section I , between 2000 and 4000 vehicle
turning movements will occur through the central driveway each
day . This heavy volume in conjunction with the current traffic
flow on NE 4th , and poor sight visibility to the east , substantial
traffic conflicts can be expected .
It should be further noted that three parcels to the north and
west of this site , and either zoned or shown on the Comprehensive
Plan for Commercial or Multiple Family use are landlocked by
approval of this department. Future development of these properties
which must gain access to NE 4th could generate about 1,400 trips
to the B-1 parcel , and 500 trips to the master planned , but not
currently zoned , multiple family parcels . The combination of
the subject development in conjunction with the adjoining parcels
to the north clearly suggests the need for public street access
through the subject site , or adjoining this site . There - is an
existing utility easement of 30 ' in width adjoining the property
line to the west of this site , Through provision, ,of,.right-of-way
on the westerly side of the subject site , and conversion of the
utility easement for public street purposes at some future time ,
acceptable access could be gained . However , Public Works Department
review and recommendation on traffic needs for this entire block
should be sought.
7 . In addition to the question of traffic. volumes , this development
and future development along NE 4th will most certainly bring with
it large numbers of vehicle turning movements . Provision of
a two-way left turn lane between Union Avenue and extending westerly
toward Monroe should be considered .
8 . Traffic Engineering had no specific comments on this development .
9 . The Fire Department notes that the building construction must meet
Fire Code requirements for occupancy and fire flow requirements .
Type and number of fire protection devices shall be installed and
maintained in accordance with Fire Chief requirements . Fire
hydrants and access shall be installed and made serviceable
prior to any building construction .
10. Water and utility plans must be approved by, Utility Engineering
and standard service charges will apply .
11 . Engineering advises that storm water retention is required ,
and that completion of necessary off-site improvements on NE 4th
is also required .

The employment estimate is probably high since the employment
for the storage area is based upon warehouse factors : A typical
self-service storage use (mini storage ) would probably have a
more limi't,ed employment total .
3. Schools : Not Applicable .
4. Social ; Not Applicable .
5 . Traffic ; The following is an estimate of the traffic impact
expected from this department:
Office 19300 sq . ft . 20. 65 trips/1000 = 400
Retail 19300 sq . ft . 110 trips/1000 = 2175
Storage 29000 sq . ft , 5 .46 trips/1000 = 160
2685
The traffic flow assumes half retail and half office use .
Depending upon the mix of retail to office , the traffic impact
could range from a high of 4500 trips per day to a low of 600
trips per day . Based upon the current 19000 trips per day on
NE 4th the proposed use will add between 3% and 24% to the current
traffic demand .
J . ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD DETERMINATION :
.' Pursuant to the City of Renton 's Environmental Ordinance and the
State Environmental Policy Act of 1971 , as amended , RCW 43-21C ,
a 'declaration of non-significance has been issued , based upon provision
of adequate, access , retention of the existing evergreen tree cover
to the maximum extent feasible , and preservation of the master planned/
integrated approach to this development.
K. AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTS CONTACTED ;
1 . City of Renton Building Division .
2 . City of Renton Engineering Division .
3 . City of Renton Traffic Engineering Division .
4 . City of Renton Utilities Division ;
5 . City of Renton Fire Department .
L . PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS ;
1 . The applicant proposes Hearing Examiner approval of a self-service
storage (both covered interior storage and outdoor recreational
vehicle storage ) development as an integrated business park
consisting of, approximately one half of the site area for office/
retail uses , The subject 8± acre site is zoned B-1 which does not
specify the proposed use as a permitted use . Under the provisions
of a Special' Permit approval , the applicant has offered the propose
integrated site development and architectural theme as
justification for allowance of this proposed use in the B-1 zone .
2 . The applicant in his letter of intent of April 18 , 1979
has described the proposed development and phasing of the proposed
development (copy attached) .
3 . The proposal calls for 6 buildings , as follows :
- office/retail 4 buildings 38 ,000 square ft . ranging
from 2400 to 23000 sq . ft . each
- storage 2 buildings 14 ,500 sq . ft. each
- open RV storage approximately 60 ,000 square feet

Additional comments of other departments are attached for
consideration .
M . DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS :
Based upon the above analysis and the unique nature of this
proposed integrated use to be approved by special permit , recommend
approval subject to the following conditions :
1 . If the development is to occur in phases , any phase including
building 5 shall also include buildings 2 and 3 to be developed
concurrently . If both building 5 and 6 are contained in one
phase buildings 1 through 3 are likewise required to be developed
concurrently .
2 . The applicant shall dedicate and provide for future improvement
of a public street to serve properties to the north of a
width to the approval of the Public Works Department along
the west property line or suitable location .
3 . The central access shall consist of two in-bound and two
out-bound traffic lanes , rather than 3 out-bound lanes as proposed .
Turning movements from 3 lanes would be confusing , and could
lead to further traffic congestion .
4. The applicant shall participate in the provision of a two-way
left turn lane in NE 4th fronting this property .
5 . Phased development of the outdoor RV storage area shall include
all landscaping and screening facing NE 4th and adjoining the
area to the east and west . Provision of interior screening to
the north consisting of fencing and screen planting shall be
provided with each phase .
6 . Final approval of detailed landscaping plans consistent with the
submitted schematic shall be approved by the Planning Department .
7 . Final Public Works Department approval of plans for public
street and utility improvements in accordance with local codes
and ordinances .
8 . Approval of water services and fire access per Section L-9 .

Attn: Dave Clemens re: Renton Business Park
Deer Dave,
this letter responds to your request for information
regarding the propo:;ed phasing of the business perk pl'n sub-
mitted April 17th.
Since the start of construction depends on many t'1ings including
building permits, the bidding process and obtaining suitable
financing it' s hard to pin down a start time for the project . My
best guess is that it would not start before September 1979 .
. Our pains for phasing =Ire likeise affected by many variables
but our current thinking is as follows:-
HASE 1 . Bldg.#4 which will serve a .. the business office for
' the project and the temporary entry, followed closL:ly
by Bldg.45 and the south half bf' the outside storage
nd security fencing, -nd the develo -nent of the west
permanent entry and associated l =n:dscaping.
PHASE 2. Bldg../3 ,nd Bldg.#2 together :.ith associated parking
• and landscaping.
PHASE 3.* Bldg.#6 and the balance of- outside storage, fencing and
landscaping.
PHASE 4.* Bl.dg.#1 and associated parking and landscaping.
•
* Depending on how well the project is leasing, phases
3 and 4 may be reversed.
Yours Sincerely, / L.AI."

Dear Dave,
this letter responds to your request for information
regarding the proposed phasing of the business park plan sub-
mitted April 17th.
Since the start of construction depends on many things including
building permits, the bidding process and obtaining suitable
financing it' s hard to pin down a start time for the project. My
best guess is that it would not start before September 1979.
Our pains for phasing are likewise affected by many variables .
but our current thinking is as follows:-
'''HASE 1 . Bldg.#4 which will serve as the business office for
the project and the temporary entry, :followed closely
by Bldg. 6 and the south half of the outside storage
<:nd security fencing, ,nd the development of the wrest

PHASE 3.* Bldg.#6 and the balance of outside storage, fencing and.

* Depending on how well the project is leasing, phases

you believe an explanation would be helpful to government decision makers , include your ' ''_�
explanation in the space provided, or use additional pages if necessary. You should'

you are currently applying or the proposal for which approval is sought. Your answers
