Re: LUA06-128, R, ECF / Highlands Land Use and Zoning Package, CPA 2006-
M-6
Dear Ms. Lind,
As you can see from my return address, I live in the zoning package. 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.
Sincerely,

Not having really known all of the details of the City Administration's
or Staff's land use strategy, confronted with a constantly changing
zoning proposal, and not having been presented with necessary
informative data and stable or lawful zoning proposals, most of the
residents and citizens that are potential participants under the GMA in
Renton are unaware of the proceedings and were therefore unable to
participate. 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.

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

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?

Plan Changes. 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

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.

I1I. 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

(1986) (emphasis added) citing Sc ve a t%aluable Ent-i -onment 6,4 l'E) v. 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.

. . cannot establish standing for the association" (Applicant's Reply to ASE Lack of
Standing, p. 7) is simply false.
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

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. See RMC 4-8-1 I 01(7)(b),

The U.S. Supreme Court has recognized "a right to associate for the purpose of
engaging in those activities protected by the First Amendment — speech, assembly,
petition for the redress of grievances, and the exercise of religion.." Roberts v_ U.S.
Jaycees, 468 U.S. 609, 618, 104 S.Ct. 3244 (1984). 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.

Dear EDNSP Department:
Please enter the following citizen comments under:
LAND USE NUMBER: LUA06-121, ECF
APPLICATION NAME: Highlands R-10 Zoning Text Amendments
LAND USE NUMBER: LUA06-128, ECF
APPLICATION NAME: Highlands Land Use & Zoning Package I
CPA 2006-M-06 and CPA 2006-T2
Why is the City of Renton forging ahead with Camp Plan Amendments relating to Highlands
zoning and text amendments when the Highlands Task Force is in the process of deciding what
the VISION should be for the neighborhood?
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.
Instead, these LUA's indicate an Administration which behaves as if this Committee didn't exist
... and as if this Committee will have no effect on the final zoning and text amendments ...
and as if these Camp Plan Amendments MUST be adopted year's end.
Sincerely,
Terry Persson, HCA President

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.

Highlands R-10 Zoning Text Amendments
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 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 dweliing 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 quality redevelopment with efficient land use patterns in the
Highlands without the implementation of other Comprehensive Plan Amendments or rezoning property. There will also be
minor, ancillary changes to the areas subject to the current design regulations, in districts A. 8, and C.
PROJECT LOCATION: The zoning code amendment would affect development in the Highlands Subarea located
troth north and south of NE Sunset Boulevard between Edmonds Ave NE and Monroe
Ave NE,
OPTIONAL DETERMINATION OF NON -SIGNIFICANCE (DNS): As the Lead Agency, the City of Renton has determined
that significant environmental impacts are unlikely to result from the proposed zoning. Therefore, as permitted under the
RCW 43.21C.110, the City of Renton is using the Optional DNS process to give notice that a DNS is likely to be issued.
Comment periods for the project and the proposed DNS are integrated into a single comment period. There will be no
comment period following the issuance of the Threshold Determination of Non -Significance (DNS). A 14-day appeal
period will follow the issuance of the DNS.

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.

PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: 'IECEIVED
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21 C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to
consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. 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.

10. 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. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries
of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if
reasonably available. While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not
required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related to this
checklist.
This is a non project action, so there is no specific proposal location. However, the change in development
regulations does affect only the Highlands subarea. The Highlands subarea may be loosely defined as the
area both north and south of NE Sunset Boulevard, west of Edmonds Ave NE and east of Monroe Ave NE.

D. 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.
