PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 2018 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
Rezone R-14 to CV: Staff proposes a rezone of three parcels from Residential-14 (R-14) to Center Village (CV), the current
and proposed zones are implemented by Comprehensive Plan land use designation’s Residential High Density (RHD) and
Commercial Mixed Use (CMU), respectively. Given that the current zoning and proposed zoning are implemented by
distinct Comprehensive Plan land use designations, the rezone requires a Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The rezone
is needed to advance the City’s and Renton Housing Authority’s long-term plans fosr the redevelopment of Sunset
Terrace.
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map: Code and text of the Comprehensive Plan indicate that the Commercial
Neighborhood Zone implements the Residential High Density (RHD) land use designation; the Comprehensive Plan Land
Use Map incorrectly shows the land use designation for CN zoned parcels as Commercial Mixed Use.
Capital Facilities – Fire and Emergency Services: Staff proposes to remove Fire and Emergency Services level of service
data from the Capital Facilities Levels of Service table. This information will be replaced with a note that will direct the
reader to the Renton Regional Fire Authority Standards of Cover (SOC) document where this information is recorded. In
addition, Staff proposes to use this opportunity to make minor updates to the Capital Facilities Element of the
Comprehensive Plan to reflect changes made related to the Renton Fire Department.
