PROJECT NAME: 2018 DOCKET 13 GROUP C
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.
