I am sure you get plenty of complaints about rezoning but, in this instance, 1 am completely in favor of what the proposal says. It will reflect the covenant that has been on these properties for over 50 years and a ruling that the covenant was in deed valid and upheld in King County court. I applaud the Economic Development Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning Division for making this change and to make the zoning and covenant concur. Thanks for your time and effort in this matter.

They were unaware of unlawful procedures being used, they didn't hear what were the true issues needing to be deliberated were, and were unaware of what was unlawfully happening around the City of Renton's planning. For purpose of the acts (GMA & SEPA) they were unable to participate in a meaningful way at a meaningful time. I recommend that there be a change of course in the management philosophy that the City uses to take and gather public input, and a change in how that our leaders act upon recommendations based upon that input. It is in the best interest of the City and our Citizens. I urge the City to make this change of course, because without that change, further deterioration of areas and processes probably will result. For the most part, doing otherwise would be just like failure to give notice. It continues actions for longer than necessary. There has been failure to give notice of proceedings. It is failure to comply with Laws, only the first of many grounds that may vitiate legislation emerging from these processes. Many appeals and legal actions caused by such lack of respect for laws damage the City. brad nicholson Page 1 1011512006 Neither was I officially notified of the present proceedings whilst I should have been. I am a party of record. Evidently One Council member, Terri Sriere decided not to answer my email around a week ago requesting information as to how I could participate in or join the "Task Force". The Citizens that searched the City's website or word of mouth e-mail, having found the hearing dates and times for scheduled meetings, but the issues were not clear and changed significantly, and participation is limited to only nine people, are all very disappointed. All of them will now be "observers" only supposedly because the "Task Force" will review and rule only on the record that has been previously created. That record has deficiencies like I previously articulated. Most if none of the potential participants wanted to pay the rather large and unlawful City fee to suggest a comprehensive plan or development regulation amendment for the processes, neither were they given a real opportunity to comment. Even though I am a party of record for the above actions I never received notice of the proceedings and least officially, I still haven't. A few private citizens informed me of the "Task Force" meeting. I met the so called chairman at the task force meeting, but he informed me that I couldn't comment in public. Those amendments to our comprehensive plan must have been recommended for approval by someone unqualified to make that decision. I really don't know how to figure that out because nobody informed me of what was decided or recommended by the Planning Commission or the City Council. Some Citizens attended meetings that were public, testified, and wanted to improve the City and be heard, and others were accorded nothing more than exclusion from the processes via certain unlawful administrative decisions and acts, declarations, and tactics. Not the least of which is the newly formed "Task Force" that will supposedly be providing the sole community input from now on. Nine people cannot be considered the "public" according to my interpretation of the code. Notwithstanding the fact that there was no public response, findings or recommendation made by the Planning Commission that I am aware of, instead the City "switched" reviewing bodies after public comment was taken on the issues. It is now evidently believed that quasi-judicial review of the proceedings rests with the "Task Force" I received a notice communication......... an email communication stating that the "Task Force" would be meeting at the Highlands Starbucks. There was a person there to meet, one Kirk Moore, who claimed to be the chairman of the "Task Force" and would allow me to give my comments to him for presentation during what is to be the "review" Here they are. He assured me such "review" would result in findings of fact and conclusions of law prior to a council hearing on these issues. . I request that commitment be honored in the future. I request that he and the "Task Force" be asked to review these comments, find facts, and conclusions of Law, and inform me of their legal decisions with regard to them. brad nkholson Page 2 1011512006 Disappointment is evident in "Huffy City Council meetings" probably for one reason because the Planning Commission recommendation that was supposedly made as a result of the prior hearings can not be found in public. That has happened on numerous occasions in the past. Perhaps I am wrong and the "Task Force" will be different. If the "Task Force" can respond to my issues, then there will be a great improvement. I have been informed that the newly formed "Task Force" will exact the "Role of Review" from the Planning Commission. One Terri Briere as chairman of the City's Planning and Development Committee as well as the task force chairman have told me so. I can provide proof in the form of evidentiary exhibits for that if it is requested. Otherwise, it is incontrovertible. If I had known that the role of review would rest with the newly formed "Task Force" I would have been able to save the efforts I made for the City's benefit by saving my comments for the task force. The new forum however will not be taking any comments or allowing public participation but will be reviewing the record because the community continues to have concerns with the administrative proposals. I am presuming the record of proceedings will be forwarded to the "Task Force" (exhibit) Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law are required of quasi-judicial reviewing bodies. I am looking forward to reviewing the decision by Mr. Moore's group as a result of the task force as it becomes a part of the public record, however I will be doing so under protest because of the numerous deliberative and substantive participatory deficiencies I have placed into the record that are subject to review. It seemed quite clear to me Mr. Moore has no experience in law or land use action whatsoever. To be honest, I have no confidence in his ability to work on land use whatsoever. I hope I am wrong, but I think he is now in somewhat of a "pickle". I think he is still working on eminent domain in the highlands even though I understand that the issue is tabled through an ordinance. I would like to say that I am offended not only by the moratoriums and wasted time and money, but by the lack of apparent competency and transparency. Many people genuinely concerned with the City's future are now thoroughly disgusted. Some citizens are frustrated because it is known that pending appeals will require a programmatic EIS document to place new rezoning in the so-called Highlands area Center Village designation, but the proposal has been withdrawn at the last minute and now an EIS should be required because of different arguments. It is still needed to be capable to implement the "vision" of the highlands. It is still being avoided with what appears to be just like an end run, and is unavailable because it was removed from consideration by the City's ERC. They have a new DNS. They should not have done that, because there are accumulations of adverse effects from acting the wrong way, which includes doing nothing, like I have previously contended. brad nichobon Page 3 1011512006 Even though I was a party of record, they did not notify me of that until after the hearing and after I raised the issues. I just found out that the previous DNS was withdrawn. There has been no discussion as to what adverse effects the "Highlands Vision" will have upon transportation issues. Or how not implementing the vision through zoning measures would affect people. It seems clear that if the Staff is intent with little or no development regulation, then maybe the vision should be withdrawn as well. That has not happened, but instead the footprint of the vision is proposed to be expanded. It seems clear that the zoning that is currently proposed will not implement the present vision. I would call the consistency of the City's actions into question under the GMA. It is not known how the Landing issues will interact with the Hilands, both of which are major actions significantly affecting the quality of the environment. I am wondering why there has not been an inclusion of discussion regarding the need for possible changes to the zoning and plans if the "Landing" is required to implement the comprehensive plan through required changes. How the highlands vision will be implemented depending on how the Landing materializes. No information has been disclosed to me other than the fact that there is proposed to be a Target store. Because of the appeals that are before the council, there are many unknowns, thus the Citizens have never been able to comment anyway. If I was a gambler, I would wager that each and member of the "Task Force" is lacking that information as well. According to the Mayor's State of the City Address, the transportation system around Sunset (between cedar river and I-90) will need around 1 to 1.3 billion dollars in improvements for all of the projects. That is significant. In order to implement the vision, an EIS should and must be performed and with analysis as to impact accumulations, something that has never been done. The new 11kh hour zoning proposal is now before the "Task Force" after Public Hearings have already been held, accompanied by a new EDNSM; I don't get it. The new proposal does not appear to implement the Comprehensive Plan "Highlands vision", or discuss probable significant adverse impacts. I would find that action inconsistent with the GMA as well as the CPP and City Comprehensive Plan on numerous fronts, and I think reviewing jurisdictions would as well. I wish I could understand the proposals, its probable significant impacts, and be able to comment but I have not been able to obtain full information. All of the above should and must be done bearing in mind the deliberative and substantive and participatory processes of GMA and SEPA. There seems to be no other explanation for the change in the zoning proposal for the Highlands vision than to subvert disclosure of impacts for the Landing, a project which does not implement the comprehensive plan. brad nichoison Page 4 1011512006 Similarly, the financial information and description of the tenants regarding the "Landing" (Renton Mayor called it, "One of the Largest Big Box destination retail shopping centers in the Puget sound region", "seemingly overnight") was either non-existent or is being unlawfully withheld by the City because it is being called "proprietary" information. There is no way to comment about the Highlands vision possibly containing some revitalized shopping, because it has not been disclosed as to information regarding the "Landing" My comments of one would change depending on implementation of the other creating various consistency issues along with my comments. That is not my idea of a Hearing, and I don't think it is what the GMA intends either. We shall see. A big concern of mine is the money, under just about any standards, was taken from the "cookie jar" because any experienced person would have known the landing improvements should have been imposed upon the developer through nexus and proportionality requirements so basic to any kind of action with regard to the use of land by the United States Constitution. There has never been a legal explanation as to the legal justification for the Police powers being waived in the first place. Perhaps "Public Participation" will be possible when those facts are known to the participants. That money belongs to the people, and not to Harvest Partners; I did not give it to them and neither did a legitimate governmental process. Thus in order to comply with laws, the procedure I identified should be used. The Planning Commission held their hearing while appearing to do nothing more than flout specific directives of the Renton Municipal Code. A number of very powerful appeals that are consistent with the Renton code, GMA, SEPA, CPP, and other "General Laws" cast a pall and aura of uncertainty over most of the City's proceedings and is good reason to rethink and evaluate alternative and options available. Certain Administrators must have been directed to ignore them and "fast track" the planning process but the "fast track" process excluded notice and participation of citizens as well the fact that it violated quite a few general laws applicable to the City in the exercise of the Police Power under article 11, section 11, of the State Constitution. Unfortunately, that will not be so fast a process now because it is a ground for invalidation of amendments according to "Washington Laws" that have been already been identified in Planning Commission and Council proceedings. In my opinion, the way to cure the "pickle", is address this letter, the appeals, become transparent, and give real consideration, thought, and legal determinations to them. It means disclosure of probable significant adverse impacts and mitigation measures necessary for the Highlands and the Landing, and then having a strategy to deal with it. The issues are not going to go away. Appeals are presently pending for actions. I am one of those Citizens trying to participate in these actions. In one instance of the above processes, the Chairman of the Planning Commission (conducting the public hearing on the issues) got up and walked out of the public hearing at the moment I began to comment. brad nicholson Page 5 1011512006 My concerns were never addressed. I have no public answer or public findings as to what happened in my possession. I was already having difficulty to comment because I was without the material and factual information required by the laws. In these other new instances, the public and I were excluded from participating in what was left of the GMA processes altogether. In proceedings before the City' s Hearing Examiner I was called a "straw man" and denied standing to appeal and participate because I have been associated with others that share my views. I have been referred to as a "jackboot" "red herring" "cloaked in sheep's wool" and "spurious" by the Mayor and various media. City Attorney says I am "disgruntled". I accept that because I have in my possession a "confidential letter" stating that he would see to it that actions would be performed that never were. I am "disgruntled" because the City Attorney is being much less than truthful leaving out some rather important details. (exhibit) So you see that I am quite comfortable with being "disgruntled" as I believe I well should be. Recent appeals I have made have never even been considered even though I base my issues on the Laws and codes as I see them. I feel quite angry and offended by the disrespect and ignorance, lying, and refusal to observe requirements of the Laws. I have been nothing but sincere, open, and genuine in my comments from my heart and from the start. The other public participants that also made an attempt to participate were also very frustrated by the lack of honest disclosure, lack of proper procedures, and unlawful decision making in the processes. The City "Task Force" was proposed at the last minute, and was quickly and illegally put together by the City Planning/Development Committee to exact away the role of review from the Planning Commission and excluded all citizens except for nine people chosen by that City Council Committee. They were not a part of the Planning Commission. (The City's development committee stating that it was because of identified time constraints and other reasons including agreement with the purpose of "containment" of opposition ideas identified by the administrator of Economic Development and Strategic Planning as those of adverse to the proposal) It seems clear to me that none of the members of the "Task Force" have any experience whatsoever in quasi- judicial administrative proceedings. That is in all likelihood a "Task Farce" brad nichodson Page 6 1011 S/1006 Taken together, these substantial errors and illegal actions deprived me and other Citizens to their GMA participatory rights, in addition to violating certain other substantive and procedural mandates of the GMA, SEPA, General and Constitutional laws, and is good reason for invalidation and remand as I have outlined in this letter. The act of "Suspending the Laws", that is assuming and dispensing with the power to enforce the laws without permission from the State, or an attempt to divest the City of the right to make reasonable Laws, are all actions that shall need to be corrected because they shall also be capable of being reversed in superior jurisdictions. I recommend that being a reason to carefully consider the next move and "findings of fact and conclusions of Law" in your dirty game, because some more incorrect moves will put the City into a "Checkmate". It appears to me like it should be axiomatic that it is time for the City to make some changes, for benefit of present and future generations of Renton. I look forward to a reply indicating your concurrence. Most Sincerely, Brad Nicholson, a citizen of Renton brad nicholson Page 7 1011512006 1) Has the City engaged in activities that are prohibited by specific sections of the GMA and Washington Laws? 2) Did the City fail to give proper notice of proceedings as required by 36.70A RCW? 3) What are the specific causes of problematic areas of the City that are experiencing insufficient growth that would implement the comprehensive plan? 4) Which impacts have not been disclosed that should be? 5) Is the City violating Washington Laws that require a broad program of early and continuous public participation? 6) Did the City violate provisions of the GMA that require that the comprehensive plan and development regulations be subject to consistency, continuing review, and evaluation? 7) Is it appropriate to issue a proposed DNS when there are so many probable adverse consequences of doing so according to the Mayor's "State of the City" and it is inconsistent with the vision for the Highlands? 8) Is it not true that there exist numerous unanalyzed environment concerns and that the City is hiding information that is needed to determine whether and which areas there are significant impacts that should be mitigated? 9) How can so many planning issues be proposed when nobody really knows what will result from the outcomes of other major actions because they are pending? What was the cause of that? Is that appropriate? 10) How will the city fullfill the objectives of the GMA when there has been no findings indicating the proposals indicating are intended to effectuate those goals? 11) Is it not true that the City should lawfully complete the planning for proposed projects and construction before attempting to plan for new ones without public participation without posing a threat to the quality of the environment? 12) Have the above proceedings taken place for the benefit of Citizens?

It be came apparent to council that the community continued to have concerns with the Planning Commission and Administration recommendation. A result of citizen concerns is the Highlands Task Force.

SA -A. SM NOTICE OF APPEAL OF HEARING EXAMINER DECISION I. INTRODUCTION The Alliance for South End (ASE) hereby files this Notice of Appeal of the Hearing Examiner's decision dated September 5, 2006, which dismissed ASE's above -captioned appeals for lack of standing ("Examiner's Decision," Exhibit A). The grounds for appeal I are that the Hearing Examiner's decision is contrary to Washington law, without support I in state or federal law, and in violation of the constitutional rights of ASE`s members. IL TIMELINESS This appeal is filed pursuant to RMC 4-8-110.E(8) and RMC 4-8-1 10"F(l ), which specify a 14-day appeal period for Hearing Examiner decisions.

FACTS The facts are set forth in the record below. ASE's pleadings are incorporated herein by reference. IV. STANDARD OF REVIEW The Council reviews Hearing Examiner decisions to determine whether "substantial error of fact or law exists in the record,'' RMC 4-8-1 I O(E)(7). If the Council finds such an error, "it may remand the proceeding to Examiner for reconsideration, or modify, or reverse the decision of the Examiner accordingly." Id. V. GROUNDS FOR APPEAL The Hearing Examiner's decision reflects several errors of fact or law. His decision to dismiss ASE's appeals for lack of standing was entirely dependent upon the proposition that, in order for an organization to have standing, it must not only have a member or members with standing, but it also must have members with certain "indicia of membership," such as particular voting rights. This proposition is directly contrary to the well established Law in Washington, and does not appear to have support in any state or federal law. The Hearing Examiner's decision also violated the rights of ASE's members to freedom of association. The Hearing Examiner's decision should therefore be reversed. A. In Washington, An Association Has Standing When One Member Has Standing. Washington courts have consistently held that a citizens' group or other organization has standing to challenge land use decisions "as long as one member has standing to do so." East Gig Harbor Imp. Assn v. Pierce County, 106 Wn.2d 707. 701, 724 P.2d 1009 NOTICE OF APPEAL OF Buck: Gordon LLP HEARING EXAMINER DECISION - 2 �: 5 1''iLSt. A ftriuc.

Bothell. 89 Wn.2d 862, 867, 576 P.2d 401 (1978); see also Suquami.sh Indian Tribe, 92 Wn.App. at 830 (citing East Gig Harbor Imp. Ass'n and SAME for proposition that "an organization has standing only when at least one of its members has standing as an individual"). None j of these cases hold or even suggest that a member must have particular rights in the organization, or that any other inquiry should be made once it has been established that at least one member of the organization has standing. Nor do any of these cases hold or suggest that the organization's funding sources are relevant to standing. B. There is No Precedent for the Hearing Examiner's Denial of Standing in this Case. To our knowledge, no state or federal court has ever held that members of an organization must possess "indicia of membership" in order for the organization to have standing. The cases cited by the Applicant in briefing before the Hearing Examiner do not support this proposition. The question presented and answered in the three cases cited by the Applicant was not whether members of an organization must have voting rights in order to assert associational standing, but "hether ``an organization that has no members in the traditional sense may nonetheless assert associational standing." See Fund Democracy, LLC v. S,E.C., 278 F.3d 21, 25 (D.C. Cir. 2002). Those cases hold that, if an association does not have any members, but asserts that its has standing to sue on behalf of non-member "supporters," then a court may inquire into whether its supporters possess "indicia of membership." Id. at 26. The Applicant's argument that "a non -voting member.

In fact, one of the cases cited by the Applicant directly contradicts the Applicant's position. In Friends of Tilden Park, Inc. v. District of Columbia, 806 A.2d 1201, (D.C. 2002), the court explicitly stated that the nonprofit would have standing if it had any members: Friends initially asserted in Superior Court that it had standing to sue on behalf of its members, whom it described as persons residing in the vicinity of 3883 Connecticut Avenue who recreate in and enjoy the benefits of nearby Rock Creek Park. We do not doubt that if Friends had such members, it would have standing, as their representative to maintain an action challenging the District's failure to require Clark to prepare an EIS ... The persons wham Friends claims to represent are not its members, however. By the terms of its articles of incorporation, Friends has no members,. Confronted with this inconvenient fact, Friends argues in this court that it nonetheless has standing to sue as the representative of its -supporters" among the neighborhood residents whose environmental interests are at stake. These supporters, Friends suggests, are its de facto if not its de jure members. The record, though. does not bear out this claim. Friends, 806 A.2d at 1208 (emphasis added). See also Hunt v. IYashington State Apple Advertising Com'n, 432 U.S. 333, 97 S.Ct. 2434 (1977) (holding that the Commission had associational standing even though "the apple growers and dealers are not 'members' of the Commission in the traditional trade association sense"), Fund Democracy, 278 F.3d at 25 (stating that, "[i]n determining whether an organization that has no members in the traditional sense may nonetheless assert associational standing, the question is whether the NOTICE OF APPEAL OF Buck Gordon LLP HEARING EXAMINER DECISION - 4 � t -,,I,u_ , C:00C:UMENTS AND SETTINGSIBEN65391LOCAL SETTINGSITEMPORARY ;... -. , I,} INTERNET HLEs\CONTENT.IE519DQRSLQFINOTICEOI:AI'['L:AL'1.00'C7UNCIL090606[ I I.DOC 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 organization is the functional equivalent of a traditional membership organization") (emphasis added). Unlike the "supporters" of the organizations in Friends cif Tilden Park, Hunt, and Fund Democracy, Brad Nicholson is a member of ASE "in the traditional sense." Moreover, even if these cases could be interpreted to require "indicia of membership" in cases where an organization actually has members, those cases are not relevant in this proceeding because Washington courts have not adopted or even discussed such a requirement.) C. The Hearing Examiner's Decision Violated the Constitutional Rights of ASE's Members. The Hearing Examiner's dismissal of ASE's appeals violated the First Amendment rights of Renton citizens to freely associate as members of ASE in order to protect their rights. Ironically, the Hearing Examiner previously found that Brad Nicholson, a member of ASE, had standing to sue on his own behalf in a similar matter, but then deprived Mr. Nicholson standing in this matter simply because he chose to associate with other Renton citizens who share his concerns about The Landing.` t The Applicant did not cite any Washington cases to support its arguments about associational standing. The Applicant's reliance on SAVE for the proposition that "Washington courts have adopted the federal approach to standing requirements in environmental and land use cases" is misplaced. Sce Applicant's Reply to ASE Lack of Standing, p. 8, n. 16, citing S,4VE, 89 Wn,2d 862. The S.4 FE court's approval of "the federal approach" refers to the holdings, discussed earlier in the SAFE opinion. which state that "a non- profit corporation or association which shows that one or more of its members are specifically injured by a government action may represent those members in proceedings forjudicial review." Id. at 867. When read in context, the .SAVE court's discussion of association standing actually flies in the face of the Applicant's suggestions that ASE lacks standing as an association. Unfortunately, the Renton Municipal Code allows the Hearing Examiner to rule on the constitutional rights of developers who apply for permits, but the Examiner may not consider the constitutional rights of Renton citizens appealing a City decision.

By dismissing ASE's appeals based I on the form of the association, the Hearing Examiner violated the rights of ASE members to associate for the purpose of petitioning the government. "The Constitution guarantees I freedom of association of this kind as an indispensable means of preserving other I individual liberties." Id. IV. CONCLUSION For the reasons stated above, ASE respectfully requests that the Council reverse j the Hearing Examiner's decision to dismiss ASE's appeals for lack of standing.

Is it not clear yet that the People of the Highlands Subarea will not accept the "mayor's vision of an urban village"? We want to have a say in how our community grows. I do not believe these LUA's reflect the actions of a City Administration which is chartered to follow the wants and needs of the residential property owners in the Highlands.

I wish to submit the following comments which apply to the two named Land Use Actions. Comments are due by 5 p.m., on Monday, Oct 16, 2006. Rules of Evidence Rules of Evidence, as adopted by Washington Courts, apply to Hearing Examiner proceedings; and I believe they also apply to preceding and succeeding legal processes in support of Land Use Actions. EDNSP employees do not understand Rules of Evidence. The Planning Commissioners do not understand the Washington Courts' Rules of Evidence, except for possibly Attorney/Commissioner Jerrilynn Hadley. Koelker's "direct reports" who comprise the Environmental Review Committee do not understand the Washington Courts' Rules of Evidence. The City Council members, who are part of the Appeal process, do not understand the Washington Courts' Rules of Evidence, except for possibly Attorney/Councilmember Dan Clawson. The whole process is flawed on that basis alone. How can these city officials pass judgment on any Land Use Action when they can't even determine what is admissible evidence upon which to base a judgment? Growth Management and Environmental Protection State Laws applicable to growth management and environmental protection apply to Land Use Actions. I do not see objective, solid evidence to properly justify a "Notice of Application and Proposed Determination of Non -Significance (DNS)" in either Land Use Action file. Citizen Comments - LUA06-121 AND LUA06-128 from Inez Somerville Petersen Page 2 of 2 Traffic Proposals State and Federal Laws applicable to traffic proposals apply to Land Use Actions, and this is mandatory in the case of state highways within city limits, reference SR900. I do not see any objective, solid evidence to properly justify a "Notice of Application and Proposed Determination of Non -Significance (DNS)" in either Land Use Action file. Public Hearing Process The Planning Commission public hearing on these two Land Use Actions failed to provide citizens a proper opportunity to comment. There were so many people in the Council Chambers that it was standing room only, and citizens overflowed into the hallway where they could not hear or see the proceedings. I saw many citizens leave, assuming they would have no opportunity to speak. And those who stayed were allowed only three (3) minutes total for comments on all items on the agenda that night. This was not a public hearing --it was a farce. What did the EDNSP Department expect when it stacked so many Comp Plan Amendments together into one public hearing? Obviously, many people wanted to comment and comment on multiple items. Three minutes total per person can not be deemed an adequate amount of time for public comment at a public hearing where the Agenda was overly full. The City cannot proceed to the any "Notice of Application and Proposed Determination of Non -Significance (DNS)" on these two Land Use Actions, because the Planning Commission failed to properly hold a public hearing. This is part of the City's process prior to beginning the "Notice of Application and Proposed Determination of Non - Significance (DNS)." I have a video to document how that public hearing was conducted, if it is necessary. EDNSP staff members were present and can confirm my comments about the Planning Commission public hearing covering these two Land Use Actions, and the many other Comp Plan Amendments presented for comment that night. GMA 13 goals There exists no proof in the two Land Use Action files to prove that the City of Renton met the thirteen (13) goals of Growth Management in any of its proceedings or documentation regarding LUA06-121 or LUA06-128. It appears to me that the routine issuance of DNS's shows an irresponsible regard for the citizens and the environment.

Re Lind (Signature of Owner/Representative) (Signature of Owner/Representative) Q:web/pw/devserv/fornxs/planning/masterapp.doc 09/21/06 �F P Project Narrative for Implementation of Design Regulations and Changes to�� Development Regulations for R-10 zoning in the Highlands Subarea The City has been working on land use and zoning plans for the Highlands for many years. Since 2005 there have been three six month development moratoria placed on property in the Highlands Subarea. The purpose of stalling development was to allow City Staff time to study the existing land use and zoning of the area. Several zoning and land use proposals have been forwarded to the community and the City Council for consideration. Although the City continues to work with the community to determine an appropriate land use and zoning proposal to spur re -development of this neighborhood, it is the desire of citizens, property owners, and the City Council that no further development moratoria be enacted. However, it is also the City's responsibility to ensure that any development that occurs while a land use and zoning plan is being drafted is of the highest quality. This proposed change to the zoning regulations makes three major changes: 1) It enacts design regulations for the Highlands Subarea 2) It requires the standard 5,000 sq.ft. lot size for detached dwelling unit development in the Highlands R-10 zone 3) It requires that those who develop or redevelop their properties in the Highlands R-10 zone to remove the existing structures. The purpose of these changes is to provide for high duality re -development with efficient land use patterns in the Highlands. There will also be minor, ancillary changes to the areas subject to the current design regulations, in districts A, B, and C.

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). For nonproject actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs), the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.

List any governmental approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known. City Council must give approval of the zoning proposal. 11. Give brief, complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. This non project action includes making changes to the development regulations that may affect parts of the Highlands Subarea. One change is to enact design regulations for the entire subarea, including properties zoned R-10, RMF and CV. The other major changes include amending the R-10 zone to require single-family detached housing to have a 5,000 sq.ft. minimum lot size, the standard size required for single-family development in the City; and requiring parcels that are developed or subdivided to remove existing structures. This requirement is intended to ensure that new development does not perpetuate the existing inefficient land use patterns in the Highlands subarea. It is also intended to ensure that as re -development occurs, existing low quality structures are removed. 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and range if known.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (These sheets should only be used for actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs. You do not need to fill out these sheets for project actions. Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment. When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms. 12 1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? It is unlikely that the proposal would have any affect on the above environmental issues. The proposed development regulation changes do not alter the zoning capacity in the Highlands. It is hoped that future demolition of structures suspected to have lead based paints, asbestos, and other hazardous materials would ultimately result in less future risk from those toxic substances. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: New development would be required to comply with the City's development regulations, including the City's Critical Areas Ordinance. 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life? There would be no affect on plants, animals, fish, or marine life as a direct consequence of this non -project, prezoning proposal. There may be some displacement of existing vegetation to clear lots for future development, which is likely to occur under the both the present conditions and the proposal. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: None at this non project level. Development of additional dwelling units must comply with City of Renton regulations and with Renton's Critical Areas Ordinance. Any measures needed in this regard will be implemented at the project level review. 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? The proposed non -project action will not deplete energy or natural resources. Future project level development may impact energy or natural resources slightly but will not deplete them. Development is likely to occur with or without the proposal. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: None are proposed at this non -project action stage. 4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, flood plains, or prime farmlands? This proposal would likely not use or affect environmentally sensitive areas. At such time that additional dwelling units are developed, they will be subject to City of Renton critical area regulations and development standards that are designed to protect environmentally sensitive areas. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: 13 N/A. 5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? This proposal does not result in any change of capacity for this area. The same potential number of units is allowed under the current regulations. However, the proposed regulations would require that new development conform to more stringent site development and aesthetic standards. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: None. 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? The proposal does not increase capacity in the Highlands subarea. There would be no additional increase in demand on transportation or public services. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: None. 7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. The proposal will not conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for protection of the environment. SIGNATURE I, the undersigned, state that to the best of my knowledge the above information is true and complete. It is understood that the lead agency may withdraw any declaration of non -significance that it might issue in reliance upon this checklist should there be any willful misrepresentation or willful lack of full disclosure on my part.
