PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicant is requesting for SEPA Review of PR25-000002 Land Use Non-project 2025 Docket 20 Group B items
as well as Resource Center in the Valley, LUA25-000350, ECF.
Resource Center in the Valley – City staff propose a code amendment to allow a Resource Center
with overnight accommodations for unhoused residents in the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone
located south of I-405 and west of SR-167. The facility would provide services such as hygiene,
meals, case management, and housing navigation—modeled after the City of Auburn’s successful
Resource Center. The amendment adds Homeless Services as a permitted use, subject to a Hearing
Examiner Conditional Use Permit, within this limited CA subarea to implement the City’s goals for
supportive housing and coordinated service delivery.
D-243 RMF-2 Rezone – The City of Renton proposes zoning map amendments to rezone nine (9)
geographically distinct sites from Residential Multi-Family (RMF), Residential-14 (R-14), and
Residential-10 (R-10), to Residential Multi-Family 2 (RMF-2). All sites are designated Residential
NOTICE
High Density (RHD) under the Comprehensive Plan, with the exception of one site that partially falls
within the Commercial & Mixed Use (CMU) land use designation. The RMF-2 designation allows
residential densities of 20 to 40 dwelling units per net acre and supports compact infill housing near
transit, commercial corridors, and employment areas. The purpose of this rezone is to align zoning
with existing built densities, resolve underbuilt and nonconforming conditions, and facilitate
reinvestment and infill development in appropriate locations.
D-244 Contractor Yards and Offices – City staff propose to expand location options for low-impact
contractor and trade businesses by allowing certain Construction and Contractor’s Offices in
additional zones under an Administrative Conditional Use Permit. These businesses are currently
limited to industrial zones despite having minimal industrial-type impacts. The amendment would
integrate contractor trades into the definition of Off-Site Services and allow them in appropriate
Commercial Arterial (CA) zoned areas east of Rainier Ave S/SR-167 with conditional review, while
higher-intensity contractor yards would remain restricted to industrial zones.
D-245 Administrative Code Interpretations – City of Renton staff propose to codify several
adopted administrative code interpretations that clarify ambiguous or contradictory provisions
within Title IV, Development Regulations. The interpretations address topics such as the Residential
Rental Registration and Inspection Program, transitional and supportive housing standards,
definitions for building and lot coverage, limits on alterations of nonconforming dwellings, public
notice for additional vehicle permits, definition of adult family home, permit thresholds for fences,
and minimum parking stall dimensions. These administrative decisions have already taken effect
and are now being formally incorporated into the Renton Municipal Code for consistency, clarity,
and alignment with state law.
