Dear Mr. Tonda: •.
• Although you were notified of the public hearing on February 19th of this last year, in reviewing
our files it appears that you may not have been formally notified of the City Council's action this
last spring in approving nine (9) conditional approval permits for nonconforming uses/structures
resulting from the adoption of the City's new zoning codes in 1993/1995. -
•
Your project, along with eight (8) others,=was-approved by City.Council. However, before the
Development Services Division can-issue a Conditional Approval Permit for your non-conforming •
-:use_and/.or structure'a restrictive covenant will':have to be-filed reflecting the conditions that were
adopted for your fourplex. Council required this;inorder that any subsequent owners ortenants at
• •: ';-:this property:will know:that;the approval was for a specified number:of years and.may or may not
be renewed at the time of reapplication:,.The,Council;for example,did not want to have a situation
•r
:where a'tenant might be making-major tenant only a year of two before:aiconditional
;:approval permit expired without owing of this;possibility,if the_permit:was not reissued,`::.
:`Attached is'a sample:of restrictive covenantformat`if you are not'familiar with this type"of'legal " •
instrument' Most applicants`have their.personal attorney draft these up for them,:although this is',:,
• not a City requirement '` What important is' that:the•:restrictive-,covenants that ..are filed
.incorporate the conditions of approval contained in the attached staff report ''Once these have•been

Mike Kattermann, Planning & Technical Services Director, explained that
these requests are being processed according to the recently-adopted Non-
Conforming Use ordinance. Because this ordinance is not yet effective,
however,,this matter will remain in Planning & Development Committee and
be reported out at a later date. Therefore, no Council action is being
requested this evening.
Don,Erickson, Principal Planner, said the nine requests to be discussed tonight
affect existing non-conforming uses and/or structures whose owners seek
authorization to re-establish the use/structure in the case of an 'accidental
catastrophic loss or damage. All nine uses/structures were made non-
conforming as a result of Renton's interim city-wide zoning plan adopted in
1993., Because they were previously conforming, but made non-conforming
through Council action, they qualify as existing legal non-conforming uses
and/or structures: Mr. Erickson described each of the nine applications, as
follows:

Mr. Erickson noted that in the event of a catastrophic loss, these properties
would be required to redevelop within two years. Should they fail to
redevelop within the allowed timeframe, the conditional approval permit
would be revoked..
Responding to Councilman Parker,•Mr. Erickson said the City will notify the
property owners when the time period for the conditional use permit is about
to expire. At this time, the owners could seek an extension of the permit.
Mr. Parker asked if applicants must pay a fee to file for a conditional use
permit, or to re-file when one expires. Mr. Erickson said no fee has yet been
established although staff is considering this issue.
In response to Councilman Corman, Mr. Erickson said a person considering
purchasing one of these properties could research its conditional use permit,

owner will be required to record with King County.

PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
CITY OF RENTON
CONDITIONAL APPROVAL PERMIT APPLICATION
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
APPLICANT: CITY OF RENTON
City Sponsored Conditional Approval of Lila J.
Apartments
LOCATION: 518 Williams Avenue North
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: City sponsored conditional approval of 0.12 acre site
developed with a two-story rectangular shaped
apartment building in order to legitimize this non-
conforming use and structure against their premature
termination in the event of a catastrophic loss to the
structure.
•
SUMMARY OF ACTION: Planning & Technical Services Recommendation:
Approve with Conditions
RELEVANT REVIEW CRITERIA:
Non-conforming Uses: In order to qualify for this permit at least three of the
criteria listed in Section 4-31-19.1.5. must be
complied with. The three most relevant criteria in
this case are:
• Community Need;
• Effect on Adjacent Property; and
• Timeliness with Existing Plans and Programs.
Non-conforming Structures: In order to qualify for this permit at least three of the
criteria listed in Section 4-31-19.1.5. must be
complied with. The three most relevant criteria in
this case are:
• Potential of the Site for Redevelopment;
• Condition of Building/Structure; and
• Departure from the Zoning Code.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, & RECOMMENDATIONS
Having reviewed the relevant criteria in this matter, Staff make and enter the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The applicant, is processing approximately ten conditional approval permit applications for
projects that initially petitioned for .Class 'A' - Non-conforming Use status before this was changed
to the Conditional Approval Permit process.
July 7, 1995 Conditional A.` ` Ival Permit, 518 Williams Avenue Norte~ ` ntinued Page 2
2. Because there is no proposed change of use or modification of structures proposed as a
consequence of these applications it was determined that these applications were SEPA exempt
since these actions were seen as being administrative in nature.
3. Proposed enabling legislation for these applications has been reviewed'by all departments with an
interest in this issue.
4. The subject site is commonly known as the Lila J. Apartment Building site. The site is located at
518 Williams Avenue North in a predominantly single-family area in North Renton that does include
a scattering of multi-family residential dwellings.
5. The existing rectangular building is a two-story wood-frame clapboard sided structure that was
built most likely in the late 1950's. It is approximately 30 feet by 70 feet in size, with a flat roof.
Entrances to individual units are on the west side of the subject building separated by a ten (10)
foot side yard from an abutting older style single-family house.
6. The subject site is approximately 5,000 square feet in area.
7. The end of this two-story building faces onto Williams Avenue North and the building itself is
setback approximately 10 feet from the street property line. This setback area is landscaped with
predominantly evergreen shrubs.
8. Single-family one-story residential structures abut the existing two-story multi-family building on
the west and east. These two homes also have greater setbacks from the street, thus adding to the
apparent bulk of the subject four-unit apartment building.
9. The property owner has requested a conditional approval permit that would permit the existing
multi-family use and the existing structure to be re-established in the event that a,catastrophic
accident destroys or severely damages the existing building.
10. The City rezoned the subject site from R-4 Multi-family Zone to the Single-family Residential
Zone (now R-8) in June, 1993. As a consequence, the existing use and structure are considered to
be legal non-conforming uses.
11. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is
located as suitable for the development of residential single-family uses since the site has a
Residential Single Family land use designation.
12. Reflecting actual uses in the area, the zoning generally is R-8 to the north and east of the site.
However, there is R-10 zoning at the north end of the 500 Block along North 6th Street as well as
immediately west of the site across the alley between it and Burnett Avenue North. Basically the
whole east side of Burnett Avenue North between North 4th Street and North 6th Street is currently
zoned R-10. The R-10 Zones allows medium density residential development in a mix that includes
both single-family detached and attached dwellings, duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes, and
townhomes at a density of up to 10 dwelling units per acre.
13. Given the average density of the current site at nearly 35 DU/AC it is not compatible with either
the R-8 or the R-10 Zones.
CONCLUSIONS: •
Non-conforming Use:
The proponent must demonstrate that the request to continue the existing non-conforming
use, in the event of a catastrophic loss or damage to the premises, is in the public interest
and that it complies with at least three relevant criteria identified above and taken from
Section 4-31-19.1.5:
July 7, 1995 Conditional p, -oval Permit, 518 Williams Avenue Nort. mtinued Page 3
a. Community Need: There is a community need for the proposed use at its present
location.
It appears that the existing apartment does serve a community need by providing affordable
housing to residents, many of whom work and live in the community. With housing
affordability becoming a-larger issue, particular when speaking of new dwellings, it would
appear to be in the community's interest to retain such housing as long as it is already there
and there do not appear to be viable alternatives to it under the existing zoning. As long as
the existing structure remains economically viable it is unlikely to be replaced by a much less
intense land use.
b. Effect on Adjacent Property: The existing nonconforming use has not resulted in
undue adverse effects on adjacent properties from noise, traffic, glare, vibration, etc.
There is no indication that the existing use has created undue adverse impacts on the
adjacent properties. This may in fact partly be because the structure appears to be relatively
well maintained, as does its yard. It appears that the existing, four, on-site parking spaces
and the lack of curb cuts along the street ensure adequate parking for the four units in the
building. During the winter months there may be some shadowing to the property to the
east and the abutting property owners probably have less outdoor privacy than they would
if this were a single-family dwelling, however, these are not considered to be "undue
adverse impacts". Aesthetically, the fourplex does not tie in very well with the residential
character of the existing streetscape because of its flat roof, bulk, side yard rather than
street orientation, and reduced front and rear yard setbacks..
c. Timeliness with Existing Plans and Programs: Because of the anticipated market
timing for permitted uses in the zone, retention of the existing non-conforming use
would not impede or delay the implementation of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Given the relatively small size of the current lot, some'5,000 square feet in area, as well as
the location of this non-conforming use and structure mid-block with single-family detached
housing abutting it to the north and south, as well as across the street to the east, it does
not appear that retention of the existing non-conforming use would impede implementation
of the City's Comprehensive Plan for this area which calls for Residential Single-Family.
This is because the area already is developed predominantly as single-family dwellings and is
currently zoned for this use, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Non-conforming Structure:
The proponent must demonstrate that the request to re-establish the existing non-
conforming structure, in the event of a catastrophic loss or damage to the premises, is in
the public interest and that it complies with the three relevant criteria identified above and
taken from Section 4-31-19.1.6:
a. Potential of the 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
preclude their expansion.
Because of the scale and density of development on the existing lot, it is unlikely to be a
preferred site, at least initially, for redevelopment with lower density single-family uses.
This is because the existing site is only large enough to support one single-family dwelling
under the current zoning. Since redevelopment in unlikely except in the case of a total loss,
this criterion appears to have been met.
b. Condition of Building/Structure: If non-conforming as to the provisions of the
City's Building Code, the building or structure has generally been well maintained
and is not considered to be a threat to the public health or safety.
July 7, 1995 Conditional l; ThDval Permit, 518 Williams Avenue Norte continued Page 4
From all exterior appearances, the existing structure is well maintained and is not considered
to be a threat to the public health or safety of those living in the area.
c. Departure from the Zoning Code: If non-conforming 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, it could be modified so as not to pose such
a threat.
Again, there is no indication that the existing structure poses a serious threat to the public
health, welfare, or safety.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Based upon the above, the requested conditional approval permit to allow the existing use to
be re-established in the case of an accidental catastrophic loss or damage to the structure
should be allowed subject to the following conditions:
a. The conditional approval permit shall be in effect for a period not exceeding ten
(10) years. If a catastrophic loss of the original structure occurs within the
conditional approval permit period and the site is not redeveloped within two years,
the non-conforming use shall not be re-established.
2. Based upon the above discussion, the requested conditional approval permit to allow the
existing non-conforming structure to be re-established in the case of an accidental
catastrophic loss or damage to the structure should be allowed subject to the following
conditions:
a. The conditional approval permit shall be in effect for a period not exceeding ten
(10) years. If a catastrophic loss of the original structure occurs within the
conditional approval permit period and the site is not redeveloped within two years,
the non-conforming use shall not be re-established.
b. An application for site plan review shall be made if a catastrophic loss or an
accumulative loss greater than fifty percent (50%) of the assessed value of the
structure occurs within this ten (10) year period. The replacement structure shall be
reviewed to ensure that it is architecturally in character in terms of its roof
treatment, setbacks, etc. with the surrounding area at that time and, that it complies
with all relevant building codes and the existing zoning codes then in place, to the
extent possible.
c. The extent of the existing non-conforming building that may be replaced with
additional non-conforming structure shall not exceed the amount of the structure
accidentally damaged. In no case shall any portion of a structure that has been
found to have been intentionally damaged by the owner be allowed to be re-
established unless done so consistent with all codes and regulations then in
existence; and
NOTES TO PROPERTY OWNER:
a. Prior to any subsequent consideration of a another conditional approval permit for this site, the
surrounding area shall be reassessed by the City based on the review criteria and conditions in
existence at that time.
b. The applicant shall prepare restrictive covenants satisfactory to the City Attorney that reflect
these conditions and run with the site. These restrictive covenants shall be filed by the applicant
or their representative with King County and verification of this filing shall be submitted to
Development Services prior to this permit being issued.

City Sponsored Conditional Approval of ecIt9x li
LOCATION: 518 Williams Avenue North
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: City sponsored conditional approval of 0.11 acre site
developed with a one-story rectangular shaped
apartment building in order to legitimize this non-
conforming use and structure.against their premature
termination in the event of a catastrophic loss to the
structure.
SUMMARY OF ACTION: Planning & Technical Services Recommendation:
Approve with Conditions
RELEVANT REVIEW CRITERIA:
Non-conforming Uses: In order to qualify for this permit at least three of the
criteria listed in Section 4-31-19.1.5. must be
complied with. The three most relevant criteria in
this case are:
• Community Need;
• Effect on Adjacent Property; and
• Timeliness with Existing Plans and Programs.
Non-conforming Structures: In order to qualify for this permit at least three of the

complied with. The three most relevant criteria in
this case are:
1
• Potential of the Site for Redevelopment;
• Condition of Building/Structure; and
• Departure from the Zoning Code.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, & RECOMMENDATIONS
Having reviewed the relevant criteria in this matter, Staff make and enter the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The applicant, is processing approximately ten conditional approval permit applications for
projects that initially petitioned for Class 'A' - Non-conforming Use status before this was changed
to the Conditional Approval Permit process.

2. Because there is no proposed change of use or modification of structures proposed as a
consequence of these applications it was determined that these applications were SEPA exempt
since these actions were seen as being administrative in nature.
3. Proposed enabling legislation for these applications has been reviewed by all departments with an
interest in this issue.
4. The subject site is commonly known as the Lila J. Apartment Building site. The site is located at
518 Williams Avenue North in a predominantly single-family area in North Renton that does include
a scattering of older multi-family residential dwellings.
5. The existing rectangular building is a two-story wood-frame clapboard sided structure that was
built most likely in the late 1950's. It is approximately 30 feet by 70 feet in size, with a flat roof.
Entrances to individual units are on the west side of the subject building separated by a ten (10)

6. The subject site is approximately 5,000 square feet in area.
7. The end of this two-story building faces onto Williams Avenue North and the building itself is
setback approximately 10 feet from the street property line. This setback area is landscaped with
predominantly evergreen shrubs.
8. Single-family one-story residential structures abut the existing two-story multi-family building on
the west and east. These two homes also have greater setbacks from the street, thus adding to the -
apparent bulk of the subject four-unit apartment building.
9. The property owner has requested a conditional approval permit that would permit the existing
multi-family use and the existing structure to be re-established in the event that a catastrophic
accident destroys or severely damages the existing building.
10. The City rezoned the subject site from R-4 Multi-family Zone to the Single-family Residential
Zone (now R-8) in June, 1993. As a consequence, the existing use and structure are considered to
be legal non-conforming uses.
11. The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is
located as suitable for the development of residential single-family uses since the site has a
Residential Single Family land use designation.
12. Reflecting actual uses in the area, the zoning generally is R-8 to the north and east of the site.
However, there is R-10 zoning at the north end of the 500 Block along North. 6th Street as well as
immediately west of the site across the alley between it and Burnett Avenue North. Basically the

13. Given the average density of the current site at nearly 35 DU/AC it is not compatible with either
the R-8 or the R-10 Zones.
CONCLUSIONS:
Non-conforming Use:
The proponent must demonstrate that the request to continue the existing non-conforming
use, in the event of a catastrophic loss or damage to the premises, is in the public interest
and that it coplies with at least three relevant criteria identified above and taken from
Section 4-31-19.1.5:

Again, there is no indication that the existing structure poses a serious threat to the public
health, welfare, or safety.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Based upon the above, the requested conditional approval permit to allow the existing use to
be re-established in the case of an accidental catastrophic loss or damage to the structure
should be allowed subject to the following conditions:
a. The existing legal non-conforming use shall be allowed only for a period not
exceeding ten (10) years. The duration of the use, however, shall not exceed that
of the original structure or ten (10) years, whichever is less, if a catastrophic loss of
the original structure occurs within this ten (10) year period and the site is not
redeveloped within two years;
b. The use cannot be change'\ rom a foci ex to another related use in the same i(
land use class, such as a boardi ho e or special needs residential use, without 1�V1
first giving notice to the City and , City having invited public comment, before / n dd
granting such a change; L �r�
Jam.
c. No other non-related non- onforming use s II be allowed to establish itself on the
site; and,
2. Based upon the above discussion, the requested conditional approval permit to. allow the
existing structure to be re-established in the case of an accidental catastrophic loss or
damage to the structure should be allowed subject to the following conditions:
a. This permit shall be for a period not exceeding ten (10) years.
b. An application for site plan review shall be made if a catastrophic loss or an
accumulative loss greater than fifty percent (50%) of the assessed value of the
structure occurs within this ten (10) year period. The replacement structure shall be
reviewed to ensure that it is architecturally in character in terms of its roof
treatment, setbacks, etc. with the surrounding area at that time and, that it complies
with all relevant building codes and the existing.zoning codes then in place, to the
extent possible.
c. The extent of the existing non-conforming building that may be replaced with
additional non-conforming structure shall not exceed the amount of the structure
accidentally damaged. In no case shall any portion of a structure that has been
found to have been intentionally damaged be allowed to re-establish itself unless it
does so consistent with all codes and regulations then in existence; and
NOTES TO PROPERTY OWNER:
a. Prior to any subsequent consideration of a another conditional approval permit for this site, the
surrounding area shall be reassessed by the City to determine whether redevelopment
opportunities consistent with the then in existence zoning exist since this would presumably
lessen the need for a subsequent conditional approval permit.
b. The applicant shall prepare restrictive covenants satisfactory to the City Attorney that reflect
these conditions and run with the site. These restrictive covenants shall be filed by the applicant
July 7, 1995 Conditional P ival Permit, 518 Williams Avenue Nort'T -rvDntinued Page 5
or their representative with King County and verification of this filing shall be submitted to
Development Services prior to this permit being issued.
