SUBJECT:2013 2nd Quarter Budget Amendment Ordinance
ISSUE
Should the 2013/2014 Budget be amended to incorporate the items as detailed below?
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the ordinance amending the 2013/2014 Biennial Budget.
OVERVIEW
The proposed 2013 2nd quarter budget amendments are primarily housekeeping items in nature. It will
1) incorporate grants and associated expenditures awarded to the city during the period; 2) make
corrections to 2013/2014 budget due to errors/omissions found; 3) recognize the issuance of the 2013

(CIP) projects. Below is a summary of the changes.
General Governmental Adjustments:
The proposed appropriation amendment will increase the appropriation by a total of $1.9 million for the
2013/2014 Biennial Budget Years:
1.$1.5 million project budget adjustment to the New Library Development Fund to bring the
budget for the Cedar River Library in line with the “Maximum Contract Amount” based on prior
Council action on April 29. The budget adjustment only provides budget authority; the actual
transfer is contingent upon sufficient ending fund balance at the end of the year.
2.$50k correction to the 2013 Carry Forward Budget Amendment (Ord 5686) for the Dangerous
Structure Abatement program.
3.$9k to fund additional parts for the Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) equipment,
which represents the portion of the proceeds from surplus, the old equipment that has not been
previously appropriated.
4.$16k to transfer/contribute to the Transportation CIP Fund 317 for the purpose of funding the
LED Streetlights Conversion project.
5.$33k net increase for the 2013 LTGO Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds (QECB) issue cost.
The annual debt service of $313k will start in 2014 and is funded by $212k in street light
electricity cost savings (budget reduction) and $101k IRS rebate revenue (an increase in both
revenue and appropriation).
6.$178k to transfer the Park Memorial Reserve (part of General Fund balance) to the Municipal
CIP Fund 316 for the purpose of replacing the plaque at Veterans Memorial Park.

Other Funds:
The proposed appropriation amendment for all other funds combined is $6.4 million; below are the
details of these adjustments:
1.Municipal CIP Fund (316): $178k to replace the Veterans Memorial Park Plaque, which will be
funded by a transfer from the Park Memorial Fund 031. We are also correcting the grant budget

$8k and moving it to the Waterworks Utility Systems Fund 425 and 427.
2.Transportation CIP Fund (317): $4.3 million, which is for Traffic Safety program ($65k),
Intersection Safety and Mobility (-$35k), and LED Streetlights Conversion ($4.3 million) projects.
Funded by $4.3 million in various grants, bond proceeds, private contributions, and interfund
transfers.
3.New Library Development Fund (336): $1.5 million adjustment to recognize the Maximum
Contract amount due to the additional 4500 square feet area than initial planned DT library.
The adjustment is to recognize the potential cost increase and the actual interfund transfer, if
needed, will likely take place in 2014 from General Fund fund balance.
4.Airport Operating and CIP Fund (402 & 422): $344k to increase the Maintenance Dredging and
Shoreline Mitigation project and add the Forklift to the Fleet Fund 501 inventory (Maintenance

SUBJECT:2013 Title IV Docket #9 Amendments Review
ISSUE:
Should the 2013 Title IV Docket #9 Amendments be referred to the Planning &
Development Committee and the Planning Commission?
RECOMMENDATION:
Refer the 2013 Title IV Docket #9 Amendments to the Planning and Development
Committee and Planning Commission for review.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
RMC 4-8-070G outlines the types of review the Planning Commission shall conduct. The
review of the Development Regulations (Title IV Docket) process is specifically listed.
Land Use Regulations review occurs upon Council request. The Planning Commission
will make recommendations regarding the Land Use Regulations to the Council. Final
recommendation of the Title IV Docket will be the authority of the Council.
Title IV Development Regulations
This process is codified in RMC 4-9-025, Title IV Development Regulation Revision
Process. Staff has compiled a series of amendments to Title IV of the Renton Municipal
Code (Development Regulations) that initiates several new regulatory initiatives that
respond to important issues facing the City. The proposed list of amendments includes
City and citizen initiated amendments as shown in the 2012 Title IV Docket #8
Amendments Table and was arrived at after consultation with the Planning Commission
and Planning & Development Committee.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed schedule for review of the Title IV Docket #9 Amendments is for the
Planning Commission review to occur during June through December 2013.
7d. - Community and Economic
Development Department submits the Page 19 of 40
2013 TITLE IV DOCKET #9 AMENDMENTS
City (Staff, Council, Planning Commission) Initiated Amendments
Model Homes
Consider removing the need for a Temporary Use Permit for model homes. Instead, allow application for the
lessor of 20% of the lots or 4 model home building permits to be filed for review at the time that the Final Plat is
sent to the Hearing Examiner. This will allow for more predictability.
Tree Conservation and Management
Revise the tree regulations for existing developed and vacant parcels, new development, and public property.
The focus of the work is to protect existing trees, specify replacement ratios for removed trees on-site and
provide for the use of off-site receiving areas; allow for payment of fee in-lieu to replace trees. In addition,
evaluate requirements for tree cutting and tree/vegetation maintenance permits, and consider exemptions.
Evaluation and Consideration of Property Maintenance Standards in Downtown
Review the International Building Maintenance Code (IBC), as adopted by the City, in order to identify sections
the City may wish to modify in order to encourage Downtown property owners to maintain their properties in a
manner that is not detrimental to surrounding properties. Additionally, this docket item would consider other
ways Title IV could be modified for the same purpose.

SUBJECT:Proposed Madison Annexation – 10% Notice of Intent
Petition
ISSUE:
The City is in receipt of a 10% Notice of Intent petition to annex an 11.4-acre area using
the direct petition method; the proposed annexation is called Madison. State law
requires that the Council hold a public meeting with the annexation proponents within
60 days of receipt of a 10% Notice of Intent petition. The purpose of the meeting is for
Council to decide whether to accept or reject the proposal and whether to require the
simultaneous adoption of City zoning consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, if the
proposed annexation is successful.
RECOMMENDATION:
On the basis of the following analysis, the Administration recommends that Council
accept the 10% Notice of Intent petition. If Council concurs, the Administration
recommends that it take the following actions (pursuant to RCW 35A.14.120):
Accept the 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation petition; and
Authorize the circulation of a 60% Direct Petition of Annex for the 11.4-acre
area; and
Require that property owners within the proposed annexation area accept City
of Renton zoning that is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan land use
designation.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The proposed 11.4-acre Madison Annexation is located at the eastern portion of the City
limits. The Madison Annexation Area is bordered by Renton City limits at the north, and

west, by parcel lines in proximity of Southeast 139th Place at the south, and 156th
Avenue Southeast at the east.
1.Location: The proposed 11.4-acre Madison Annexation is bordered by the
existing City limits at its north and west. The annexation area is in the East
Plateau community planning area.
2.Assessed value: The 2013 assessed valuation of the subject annexation site is
$2,029,000.
3.Natural features: The area that is a mixture of built single family residential and
vacant land. The topography is level with only a 3 percent slope over the site.
4.Existing land uses: There are 4 single-family residences and vacant land.
5.Existing zoning: Existing King County zoning is R-4. This area was prezoned by the
City of Renton as part of the East Renton Plateau pre-zoning. City of Renton
Ordinance #5254 prezoned the area with R-4 zoning; this zoning will become
effective upon annexation.
6.Comprehensive Plan: Renton’s Comprehensive Plan designates the subject
annexation site as Residential Low Density (RLD).
7.School District: The Madison Annexation area is in the Renton School District.
8.Public services: All responding City of Renton departments and divisions noted
that the annexation represents a logical extension of their respective services
and systems and presents no foreseeable problems. Specific comments follow:
Water Utility. The subject site is located within Water District No. 90’s water
service area by agreement under the coordinated water system plan. A
certificate of water availability from District 90 will be required prior to the
issuance of development permits within the subject area, following
annexation to the City. It is expected that developer extensions of District
No. 90’s water mains will be required to provide service for fire protection
and domestic use within the annexation area. The proposed area will not
generate need for additional City employees because it is within Water
District No. 90.
Wastewater Utility. The area is within the Renton wastewater service area
and the existing infrastructure has sufficient capacity to accommodate
anticipated growth in the area. The annexation does not present any
problems for the utility.
Parks. The Community Services department indicated that the annexation
represents a logical extension of the services provided by their department.
Staff noted that the area is currently underserved with Renton parks and
trails. It was also noted that area residents would expect to be served by
adjacent King County parkland that is not fully developed nor planned for
development. The City would need to enter into a Cooperative Agreement
with King County in order to develop the park.

Police. The Police Department did not indicate any concerns regarding this
proposed annexation. It is estimated that the area will generate an additional
4 calls for service annually.
Fire. Renton Fire and Emergency Services currently provide fire and
emergency services to the area under a contract with District #25. Renton
Fire can serve the area with the existing staff; however the difference in
contract amounts will need to be adjusted accordingly. Staff did not indicate
any concerns regarding this proposed annexation.
Surface Water. The area is located in the Orting sub-basin of the Lower
Cedar River drainage basin and any future development will be required to
comply with the City’s Surface Water Design Manual and the Flow Control
Duration Matching Forested Site Conditions should be applied. Staff noted
that the area contains approximately 500 feet of conveyance and inlets, as
well as ditches for stormwater conveyance. There are no records of drainage
complaints with King County. If the area annexes, it will require maintenance
from the City. The annexation is a logical extension of the services provided
by the division.
Transportation Systems. The Transportation Systems staff has no concerns
regarding the proposed annexation. Staff indicated that additional
Transportation Systems staff would not be required and that the annexation
represents a logical extension of services. Staff indicated that 152nd Avenue
Southeast and 156th Avenue Southeast does not meet current City
development standards. 154th Avenue Southeast that runs through the
annexation area is not open to through traffic and does not provide access to
abutting properties. Also, the only roadways in the area with a sidewalk is
the west side of 152nd Avenue Southeast and that is with rolled curb, all
other streets have not been constructed to include curb, gutter, and
sidewalks, which is the current Renton development standard for roadways.
The only street in the area that has street lighting is 156th Avenue Southeast,
but it does not meet current Renton Standards. Energy costs associated
with existing and new street lighting, existing and new traffic control signage,
and pavement markings may be incurred by the City. Staff indicated that the
City would assume ownership and responsibility of all existing streets in the
area.
Building. The Building section did not indicate any concerns regarding the
proposed annexation.
Planning. The Planning section did not indicate any concerns regarding the
proposed annexation.

ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION:
1.Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:
Renton’s Comprehensive Plan annexation policies support this proposed
annexation. The subject site is within the City’s Potential Annexation Area, is
subject to development pressure that might benefit from City Development
Standards, and is land that is available for urbanization under the King County
Comprehensive Plan, zoning, and subdivision regulations (Policy LU-38).
Additionally, as Policy LU-36 states, the City recognizes “that it has an inherent
interest in future land use decisions affecting its Potential Annexation Area”.
2.Consistency with the Boundary Review Board Objectives:
(from RCW 36.93.180)
a.Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities;
The proposed annexation would cause no disruption to the larger
community.
b.Use of physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water,
highways, and land contours;
The subject site is bounded on its western portion by existing City limits
and uses streets or parcel lines for the other boundaries.
c.Creation and preservation of logical service areas;
Water and sewer service boundaries will not change as a result of this
annexation. The Madison Annexation Area is in the Renton School
District. The school district boundaries will not change, the area will
remain in the Renton School District. Renton will take over police service
for the 11.4-acres upon annexation; the King County Sheriff’s Department
currently provides police protection to the area. Renton Fire and
Emergency Services currently provide service under contract to Fire
District #25 which serves the area. Pursuant to state law, there will be no
change in the garbage service provider for at least seven years.
d.Prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries;
This annexation does not have irregular boundaries.
e.Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and
encouragement of incorporations of cities in excess of ten thousand
population in heavily populated urban areas;
Not applicable. No incorporations are proposed in this area.
f.Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts;
Not applicable. There are no inactive special purpose districts here.

Development Department submits 10% Page 25 of 40
Proposed Madison Annexation 10% Notice of Intent
Page 5 of 5
g.Adjustment of impractical boundaries;
Not applicable.
h.Incorporation as cities or towns or annexation to cities or towns of
unincorporated areas which are urban in character;
King County has designated this area for urban development because of
its location within the Urban Growth Boundary. The County has also
indicated that it wants to divest itself from providing urban services to
these unincorporated urban areas by turning them over to cities as
quickly as possible. Because the subject annexation site is within Renton’s
PAA and not in an area under consideration for incorporation, annexation
is appropriate at this time.
i.Protection of agricultural and rural lands which are designated for long
term productive agricultural and resource use by a comprehensive plan
adopted by the county legislative authority.
Not applicable. No portions of the proposed annexation are rural or
designated for long term productive agricultural use in the King County or
Renton Comprehensive Plans.
3.A fiscal analysis for the proposed annexation is attached. The fiscal impact
analysis that is used for annexations considers costs on a per capita basis. The
fiscal analysis indicates that the proposed annexation would have an initial net
positive fiscal impact of $1,689 to the operating budget per year. Over a 10-year
period and with additional construction of single family homes on the existing
vacant lots, it is estimated that the fiscal impact would be $28,908 per year for
the operating budget. For the capital and enterprise funds the annexation
represents a balance of positive $452 currently and in ten years will be $1,185.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed Madison Annexation is consistent with relevant County and City
annexation policies, as well as most Boundary Review Board objectives for annexation.
The staff that reviewed the proposed annexation for each department did not identify
any major impediments to the provision of City services to the area or indicate that they
feel the annexation is untimely.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
On December 4, 2012, the Transportation Division received a request from a resident to place a gate on
each end of NE 38th Place (Lincoln Place NE) right-of-way between Jones Avenue NE and Lincoln
Avenue NE to prevent illegal activity such as dumping that takes place. The City’s Maintenance Division
would also like to see this section of road closed and the Fire Department only needs access if there is
a brush fire. In addition to cleaning up illegal dumping the dirt roadway needs to be graded twice a
year. A gate with a 20 foot opening would accommodate any need that the Fire Department or
Maintenance Division has.
In March, a letter was sent to all adjacent property owners requesting comments and concerns for
closing this road. The notified property owners are all in agreement that it would be beneficial to close
this section of road.
A public notice will be provided before closing the road in accordance with Renton Municipal Code 9-9-
2.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the resolution authorizing the closure of NE 38th Street between Jones Avenue NE and Lincoln
Avenue NE due to the cost of maintenance; no objections have been raised by the adjacent property
owners or the Fire Department.
