PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 2018 DOCKET 13 GROUP C
Mobile Food Vendors: This docket item is aimed at providing clarity and ease in the day -to-day administration of the
food truck regulations. In brief, staff proposes to allow mobile food vendors as outright permitted uses (with conditions)
in the IL, IM, CA, CV, and CD Zones without the requirement of a Tier 1 Temporary Use Permit (TUP), and to permit
mobile food vendors within the CN, CO, COR, and UC Zones with a Tier 1 TUP, rather than the current requirement of a
Tier 2 TUP. In addition, staff proposes to allow mobile food vendors within the public right-of-way, in the Downtown
Business District, with a ROW Use Permit. Mobile food vendors would still need a Tier 2 TUP to operate in a residential
zone.
Townhouse Review: This docket item examines townhouse development in the city of Renton. Staff conducted a two
part analysis that included review of each commercial and residential zone to determine in which zones townhouses are
appropriate and the applicability of mixed use standards when townhouse development is proposed on commercially
zoned land.
Parking Standards: Staff completed an analysis of existing parking standards for attached dwellings in the R-10, R-14, and
RMF zones. The analysis found that an increase in parking complaints may be caused by a variety of factors including
housing affordability in the region, management of existing developments, and the current parking code. Staff
recommends amending the requirements for guest parking, tandem parking, assigned parking, and parking for
townhomes.
Service and Social Organizations: Staff reviewed “Service and Social Organizations” for its definition and land use. Staff
recommends amending code so that “Service and Social Organizations” are defined separately and become separate,
distinct uses in the land use table.
Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 p.m. on September 14, 2018,
together with the required fee with: Hearing Examiner, City of Renton, 1055 South Grady W ay, Renton, WA 98057.
Appeals to the Examiner are governed by City of RMC 4-8-110 and information regarding the appeal process may be
obtained from the Renton City Clerk’s Office, (425) 430-6510.
PUBLIC HEARING: If the Environmental Determination is appealed, a public hearing will be set
and all parties notified.
