Time: 9:04 p.m. BONNIE I.WALTON,City clerk Recorder: Michele Neumann February 10, 2003 February 10,2003 `"' Renton City Council Minutes ..r Page 58 Ms. Rogers detailed her reasons for this suggestion as follows: the hesitancy of the Archdiocese to finance the project without a firm commitment that the project will proceed; the Parish does not want to start site development work only to stop and have to proceed with the building construction at a later date; concern that if the vacation ordinance is adopted and construction does not occur within five years,the vacation is rescinded and if the City utilities were moved prior to that, they would have to be moved back to their original location; concern that a delay in the adoption of the vacation ordinance may result in construction during the rainy season; and the short expiration periods of the site development and building permits. Bill Rutledge,architect commissioned by the Parish, 19336 47th Ave. NE, Seattle, 98155,reported that the Parish is proceeding with development of the construction documents for the project, and will begin coordinating the utilities move with Puget Sound Energy next week. Mr. Rutledge expressed his concerns about the timing of the site development and building permits, the vacation ordinance approval, the project construction schedule, and coordinating it all to occur within the construction season. He also noted the challenge of coordinating the project so that it does not disrupt the school. Mr. Rutledge concluded by stating that the issuance of the site development permits should be enough to demonstrate the commitment of the Parish to complete the project. Council discussion ensued regarding the matter, and in response to Council inquiry,Development Services Director Neil Watts stated that the building permit is the first permit that actually requires the street to be vacated. He noted that the site development work can take place prior to the street vacation. Mr. Watts indicated that two months should be enough time for the City to review the building permits so that they can be issued as soon as the street vacation ordinance is adopted. Responding to Council inquiry, City Attorney Larry Warren stated that once the vacation ordinance is adopted,it is effective five days after its publication. Father Gary Zender,Pastor of St. Anthony's Parish, 314 S. 4th St.,Renton, 98055, spoke in favor of the project,emphasizing that the parishioners are dedicated to this project. He expressed his confidence that the project will receive approval from the Archdiocese. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL REFER ALL MATERIAL FROM THE ST. ANTHONY'S PARISH DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PUBLIC HEARING TO THE PLANNING &DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. Planning: Center Office This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Residential 3 Zone, Big Box accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Retail to consider the proposed City Code text amendment to allow big box retail as 1\ VI\t an allowed use in the Center Office Residential 3 (COR 3)Zone,east of Garden Ave. N. and north of N. 8th St. The proposed amendment relates to a rezone that is currently pending before the hearing examiner(File No. R-02-149;Fry's Rezone). February 10,2003 ""'' Renton City Council Minutes ``se Page 59 r Rebecca Lind,Planner Manager,explained that the Employment Area- Transition(EA-T)Comprehensive Plan designation is an interim designation enacted in 2001 to encourage the transition of the North Renton industrial area to other uses. Noting that the entire EA-T is zoned Heavy Industrial(IH), she stated that at the time the EA-T was created, several additional zones were identified as implementing tools for the EA-T including the COR Zone. Properties mapped in the EA-T were not rezoned at the time, as rezoning was considered premature. Ms.Lind indicated that the City instead anticipated adding various commercial and research uses to the implementing zones in order to allow flexibility and to facilitate a market driven economic development strategy. Continuing, Ms. Lind explained that a moratorium on development in the IH Zone has been enacted to allow time to review policies and zoning,and she pointed out that the proposed amendment is the first step towards resolving the moratorium issues. Stating that big box use is an allowed use in the IH Zone, she defined it as an indoor retail or wholesale use greater than 75,000 square feet. Ms.Lind indicated that big box use is recommended for only the portion of the EA-T located east of Garden Ave. N. and north of N. 8th St. (commonly referred to as the Fry's site)for the following reasons: the area contains adequate infrastructure for large retail,there is access from transportation corridors,and the area provides a buffer between the industrial use at the Stoneway and PACCAR sites and the commercial activities envisioned for the remainder of the EA-T. Detailing the reasons why big box use is appropriate for the COR 3 Zone,Ms. Lind noted that the COR Zone allows an intense mix of uses,particularly uses of high economic value. Additionally, she reviewed the EA-T policies the proposed text amendment conforms to. In conclusion,Ms.Lind stated that staff recommends amending the COR 3 Zone to allow big box use, and she suggested that the enacting ordinance be presented for first reading and advanced to second and final reading this evening. This would enable the hearing examiner to issue his report on the related rezone,and expedite the property's removal from the moratorium. Public comment was invited. Chuck Leingang, 2513 NE 23rd Pl.,Renton, 98056,expressed his concern regarding the loss of overflow parking for Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park once the properties are developed. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 63 for ordinance.) In response to Councilman Corman's inquiry regarding obtaining more overflow parking for the park,Community Services Administrator Jim Shepherd confirmed that the City is trying to find a solution to the parking problem, saying that the City has been in discussion with property owners in the area; however, no agreements have yet been reached. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2003 and beyond. Items noted included: • •NT0� BIG-BOX RETAIL IN THE CENTER OFFICE RESIDENTIAL 3 CODE AMENDMENTS PUBLIC HEARING . FEBRUARY 10, 2003 The proposed text amendment would result in a modification of the uses allowed in the Center/Office/Residential 3 (COR 3) Zone. The proposed code amendment would allow "big-box retail" as a permitted use in the Center/Office/Residential 3 zone in a location delineated east of Garden Avenue North and North of N. 8th Street. Once this code amendment is enacted,the City can rezone property by separate zoning map application before the City Hearing Examiner. In 2001 the City created the Employment Area—Transition Comprehensive Plan Designation to encourage the gradual transition of the North Renton Industrial Area to other uses. The zoning within the entire EA-T designation is currently Heavy Industrial. At the time the EA-T was created, several additional zones were identified as implementing tools for the EA-T including Center Office Residential (COR), Commercial Office (CO), Center Downtown (CD), Light Industrial (IL). Properties mapped in the EA-T were not rezoned at the time, as rezoning was considered premature. Instead the City anticipated adding various commercial and research uses to the implementing zones in order to allow flexibility and facilitate a market driven economic development strategy. A year later,the City Council has now determined that the IH zone is not consistent with the purposes and intent of the EA-T designation and the larger vision for Renton's Urban Center development, because it allows new industrial uses. The purpose of the IH zone is to: "Provide areas for high intensity industrial activity involving heavy fabrication,processing of raw materials, bulk handling and storage, construction and heavy transportation." (Excerpt Title IV Section 4-2-020R). In contrast, the purpose of the Employment Area—Transition,Land Use Element Objective LU-EE.d states: "Provide for the transition of the traditional industrial area to include employment-based and residential uses. Employment-based uses include commercial, office, existing industrial and research based uses that support the economic development of the City of Renton." However one of the uses allowed in the IH zone,big box retail, is considered appropriate for the portion of the EA-T east of Garden Avenue North. This portion of the EA-T is commonly referred to as the"Fry property" (see the attached map Exhibit 1).The south portion of the Fry's site is currently being developed for big-box retail use. Fry's Electronics will be a one-story, 151,200 square foot retail building with surface parking for 900 vehicles. The north portion of this property has additional development potential.

In response to Councilman Parker's inquiry as to what current City Code allows,Mr. Zimmerman stated it allows sewer service connection outside the City limits to a preexisting single-family lot,and the proposed amendment allows connection to multiple existing lots. *MOVED BY CORMAN, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT.

The proposed code amendment would allow "big-box retail"as a permitted use in the Center/Office/Residential 3 zone in a location delineated east of Garden Avenue North and North of N. 8th Street. Once this code amendment is enacted, the City can rezone property by separate zoning map application before the City Hearing Examiner. In 2001 the City created the Employment Area—Transition Comprehensive Plan Designation to encourage the gradual transition of the North Renton Industrial Area to other uses. The zoning within the entire EA-T designation is currently Heavy Industrial. At the time the EA-T was created, several additional zones were identified as implementing tools for the EA-T including Center Office Residential (COR), Commercial Office (CO), Center Downtown (CD),Light Industrial (IL). Properties mapped in the EA-T were not rezoned at the time, as rezoning was considered premature. Instead the City anticipated adding various commercial and research uses to the implementing zones in order to allow flexibility and facilitate a market driven economic development strategy. A year later,the City Council has now determined that the IH zone is not consistent with the purposes and intent of the EA-T designation and the larger vision for Renton's Urban Center development, because it allows new industrial uses. The purpose of the IH zone is to: "Provide areas for high intensity industrial activity involving heavy fabrication,processing of raw materials, bulk handling and storage, construction and heavy transportation." (Excerpt Title IV Section 4-2-020R). In contrast,the purpose of the Employment Area—Transition,Land Use Element Objective LU-EE.d states: "Provide for the transition of the traditional industrial area to include employment-based and residential uses. Employment-based uses include commercial, office, existing industrial and research based uses that support the economic development of the City of Renton." However one of the uses allowed in the IH zone,big box retail, is considered appropriate for the portion of the EA-T east of Garden Avenue North. This portion of the EA-T is commonly referred to as the"Fry property" (see the attached map Exhibit 1).The south portion of the Fry's site is currently being developed for big-box retail use. Fry's Electronics will be a one-story, 151,200 square foot retail building with surface parking for 900 vehicles. The north portion of this property has additional development potential.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: Amendments have been proposed to the Renton Municipal Code that would allow "big-box retail" to be developed in the Center/Office/Residential 3 zone in a location delineated as "east of Garden Avenue North." Currently,big-box retail is allowed in Light, Medium, and Heavy Industrial zones and in Commercial Arterial zones. Center/Office/Residential is an implementing zone within the Center/Office/Residential and Employment Area—Transition (Interim) Comprehensive Plan designations. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Concur with recommendation to refer this to the Planning Commission and the Planning and Development Committee of the City Council. CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: December 30, 2002 TO: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, President City Council Members VIA: fie' Mayor Jesse Tanner FROM: Alex Pietsch, Acting Administrator Economic Development, Neighborhoods, and Strategic Planning Department STAFF CONTACT: Elizabeth Higgins (6576) SUBJECT: Center/Office/Residential Zone Code Amendment ISSUE: Amend code to allow big-box retail in the Center/Office/Residential 3 Zone, east of Garden Avenue North. RECOMMENDATION: • Refer to Planning Commission and Planning and Development Committee BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Center/Office/Residential is an implementing zone within the Center/Office/Residential and Employment Area—Transition (Interim) Comprehensive Plan designations. The proposed rezone would be consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan policies: Policy LU-212. 31 Uses should be selected from the range of uses allowed in the existing CA Zone to encourage a group of activities that are synergistic with office, biotech, research, technology, and residential. Strip commercial, veterinary, kennels, adult entertainment, outdoor storage, contractors' services, and convalescent centers are examples of uses discouraged under this designation. Traditional retail (Main Street), general business and professional services, and H:\EDNSP\Council\Issue Papers-Agenda Bills-Ctte Reports\2003\COR 3 code amendment.docLast printed 12/31/2002 9:27 AM December 31,2002 Page 2 general offices are examples of the types of uses that are encouraged under this designation. Disallow the following uses: vehicle sales and service including automobiles, RVs,boats, truck and motorcycles. Policy LU-212.36 Changes in zoning from industrial to another zone should achieve a mix of uses that improves the City's economic base and employment base. Factors such as increasing the City's tax base,improving efficiency in the use of the land, and the ability of a proposed land use to mitigate potential adverse impacts should be taken into account. The proposed code amendment would result in a modification of the uses allowed in the Center/Office/Residential 3 (COR 3)Zone. The proposed code amendment would allow"big- box retail" to be developed in the Center/Office/Residential 3 zone in a location delineated as "east of Garden Avenue North." Currently,big-box retail is allowed in Light,Medium, and Heavy Industrial zones and in Commercial Arterial (CA) zones. At present, CA is not an implementing zone of the Center/ Office/Residential (COR) and Employment Area—Transition (EA-T) designations and, therefore,could not be used for this area without a Comprehensive Plan amendment. Furthermore, such an amendment would not be appropriate because the general characteristics of the CA zone are not consistent with current policies of the COR and EA-T designations. Study of the appropriateness of industrial uses and several types of commercial zoning is now being initiated as a result of the recent moratorium on development in the III zone. The analysis of the subarea may eventually result in plan and/or code amendments that would make either industrial or CA zoning appropriate for this area. At the present time, however, the proposed code amendments, and simultaneous rezone of the area(by separate application), are the most expeditious route to attain the immediate goal of allowing big-box retail on this site without allowing it throughout the entire industrial designation. Big-box retail is defined in RMC Title IV as: A single indoor retail or wholesale user who occupies no less than seventy five thousand (75,000) square feet of gross floor area, typically requires high parking to building area ratios, and has a regional sales market. Big-box retail/wholesale sales can include, but are not limited to, membership warehouse clubs that emphasize bulk sales, discount stores, and department stores. This definition does not include auto sales, outdoor retail sales, and adult retail uses. The COR 3 Zone is the property commonly known as the Southport site. The proposed code amendment would expand the COR 3 to include the property commonly known as the Fry's site. The area would be further delineated as being located, "east of Garden Avenue North." The south portion of the Fry's site is currently being developed for big-box retail use. Fry's Electronics will be a one-story, 151,200 square foot retail building with surface parking for 900 vehicles. December 31,2002 Page 3 CONCLUSION: This code amendment is being requested to allow big-box retail in an area of the City of Renton deemed suitable for this type of use,based on available infrastructure, visibility from high- volume transportation corridors, and need. Document6/ O. CENTER OFFICE RESIDENTIAL ZONE(COR 1, COR 2, and COR 3): 1. Purpose: The purpose of the Center Office Residential Zone is to provide for a mix of intensive office, hotels and convention centers and residential activity in a high-quality, master planned development, that is integrated with the natural environment. Commercial retail and service uses that are architecturally and functionally integrated are permitted. Also, commercial uses that provide high economic value may be allowed if designed with the scale and intensity envisioned for the COR Zone. Policies governing these uses are contained in the Land Use Element, Center Office Residential section, of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The scale and location of these sites will typically denote a gateway into the City and should be designed accordingly(see also Land Use Element, Community Design—Gateways section). Since the sites function as gateways, site planning should incorporate features of interest to the users. 2. Location: In order to address differing site conditions, and recognizing the gateway and environmentally sensitive features of these sites, this Zone is divided into three(3) sections: a. COR 1 is applied to the property commonly known as the Stoneway Concrete Site. b. COR 2 is applied to the property commonly known as the Port Quendall Site. c. COR 3 is applied to the property commonly known as the Southport Site-and Fry's sites. 3. Scale and Intensity: COR 1 and 2 share the same uses and development standards, but differ in heights allowed. COR 3 shares a majority of uses allowed in COR 1 and COR 2 as well as most development standards, but differs primarily in densities allowed.
