HI, Alex:
When we met about the proposed Logan 6 development, there was discussion aboutapplicability of the Renton City Center Plan.
I looked through the plan, and collected references to the neighborhoods to the north and
south. See attached reference Maps and specific mention of "Single Family ResidentialNeighborhoods'.
The plan calls out these areas
-- one of the city center plan goals is to "protect ... the neighborhoods in the City Center"-- The first (1.1.1) goal of the plan includes, in part, "Particular attention should be given to
design standards ... for transition areas between zones"-- The goal is related to Goal 4.3 "Ensure measures (such as set-backs, buffers, landscape
screening, and height restrictions" to protect edges of single-family areas from adjacentdevelopment.
While this makes things more complicated, I hope it does clear up that the City Center plan
does apply not just to the core retail and high-density housing downtown, but also to theneighborhoods to the north and south of downtown.
