PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The applicant is requesting for SEPA Review of PR26-000002 Land Use Non-Project Docket 20 Group A (D-241:
Neighborhood Scale Retail) and Docket 20 Group C (D-246: Electric Fence Code Update; D-247: Indoor
Recreation) LUA26-000024:
D-241 Neighborhood Scale Retail – The City of Renton is evaluating potential code amendments to allow
neighborhood scale commercial uses and limited onsite services in residential zones. The analysis includes
considerations such as permitted and prohibited uses, maximum size allowances, delivery restrictions, hours
of operations, and related standards.
D-246 Fence Permits – The City of Renton proposes amendments to RMC 4-4-040, Fences, Hedges, and
Retaining Walls, to revise permit review procedures for electric security fencing and update code language to
NOTICE
be consistent with House Bill (HB) 1688, Electric Security Alarm Systems. The proposal would replace existing
terminology related to deterrent security fencing with the terminology used in HB 1688 to reduce confusion
and ensure consistency with state law. In addition, the amendment would revise the permit review framework
for electric security fencing, which is currently reviewed under the Special Fence Permit process, to better
align the review criteria with the nature of these installations.
D-247 Indoor Recreation in IL and IM Zones – The City of Renton proposes amendments to where and how
indoor recreation facilities are allowed. These facilities include gyms, laser tag, rock climbing, and basketball
courts. Currently, indoor recreation facilities are divided into “existing” and “new” facilities and are allowed in
commercial, residential, and industrial zones throughout the city, subject to various conditions. The proposal
would treat existing facilities as nonconforming uses and simplify conditions for new indoor recreation
facilities in several commercial zones. Conditions in the CO and UC zones would remain unchanged. In
addition, the proposal would prohibit new indoor recreation facilities in certain zones pending future, more
comprehensive amendments addressing neighborhood-scale retail and the Valley subarea.
