Utilities Utilities Committee Chair Clawson presented a report regarding the Legal: Telecommunications Telecommunications Ordinance. The proposed Telecommunications Licenses Ordinance and Franchises Ordinance was presented to Council at the Committee of the Whole meeting of March 10, 1997, and was reviewed by the members of the Utilities Committee on January 22 and April 9, 1998. The proposed ordinance was distributed to all telecommunications service providers, and modifications to the ordinance were made in response to changes requested by providers. The ordinance establishes a fair process for accepting and reviewing telecommunications applications, and serves as a referral guide to the Wireless Communications Facilities Ordinance, the Cable Communications Systems Ordinance, and the Fee Schedule Ordinance. In addition to establishing a consistent procedure for registration and review of applications for telecommunications services, the ordinance requires that all companies identify any new services being provided, and assures that the City is being properly compensated. The Utilities Committee recommended that the City Council: 1) approve the Telecommunications Ordinance; and 2) approve the Fee Schedule Ordinance as amended to reflect fees for telecommunications services.

CARRIED. WSDOT: I-405 S-Curves Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman explained Project Turnback that the Main Ave. S. improvements, including the installation of new Agreement communications systems, cannot proceed on schedule without acceptance of the turnback agreement with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) for property associated with the I-405 S-Curves project. This agreement was previously rejected by Council's Transportation Committee because landscaping and other elements of the S-Curves project were not complete. However, the current Main Ave. S. project forces the relocation of several Puget Sound Energy power poles to property identified in the turnback agreement. Failure to execute the agreement at this time will require that Puget Sound Energy obtain a permit to install the poles on WSDOT property. Since it can take nine to twelve months to secure such a permit, the Main Ave. S. project could be delayed up to one year or longer. Continuing, Mr. Zimmerman said the turnback agreement has been modified in response to objections voiced by the Transportation Committee in its earlier rejection of the agreement. Specifically, WSDOT will remedy, within two years, the slope instability problem at the intersection of Main Ave. S. and S. 4th Street. The State will also relinquish additional right-of-way neeeded to accommodate both the relocation of Puget Sound Energy's transmission line in this area and the construction of a retaining wall on Benson Road (and the necessary subsequent roadway widening). The landscaping of the turnback area has been completed. Mr. Zimmerman added that WSDOT will resolve the aforementioned slope instability problem by repairing the slope and replanting with larger plants to aid in its stabilization. The State will take further actions as necessary. Rich Evans, Civil Engineer, concurred that there is no other practical solution to removing the power poles along Main and relocating them to the turnback area. Moreover, this action must be accomplished before the other aspects of the project can proceed. Referring to a map, he described the proposed new sites for the relocated power poles. Responding to Councilman Parker, Mr. Zimmerman said although staff is concerned about the ongoing problem of the slope instability, it feels that having a signed agreement which stipulates WSDOT's responsibility to remedy this situation would be in the City's favor. He emphasized that only if Renton signs the turnback agreement will the State formally incur a specific contractural obligation to correct the slope. Councilman Schlitzer supported removing the eastern portion of the turnback area from the agreement, since this is not needed for the Main Ave. project. In response to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, Mr. Zimmerman said some of the landscaping funds for the S-Curves project were spent for grading and other earthmoving work. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler wanted assurance that the relocated power poles will not affect the views enjoyed by any Renton Hill residents. She also wondered why the City was proposing to locate power poles in an area already experiencing slope instability, and feared this would only exacerbate the current problem. 4 r ``v�1111111I I lI,,,, 10110. ... a•,10 ....... ar���i c ccDD = co c cc o vom °� 0" ��N':'d w ••4%�y,� vim, m CD c a3 F c = M. mQ. 0 �p,•`� �'TA.AS o c g co a c .�CA�0 i 2 =J 2: o a g Q.

The Mayor and (Sub-Regional Uses) Council received a letter dated March 11, 1998 from Mr. Ralph Evans, requesting that the land use policies regarding "regional" uses in the Highlands commercial areas be revisited. This request is timely since the City is already looking at redevelopment of these areas, and because the application period for the annual Comprehensive Plan amendment cycle is currently open. Mr. Evans also requested that the zoning be revised to reflect the allowance for larger, regional uses, if the policy changes are approved. The Committee recommended that the policies regarding regional uses in the Center Neighborhood (CN) and Center Suburban (CS) land use designations be reviewed during the 1998 Comprehensive Plan amendment cycle. Zoning Code amendments that may be necessitated by amendments to the policies can be programmed once the Comprehensive Plan amendments are adopted.

PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published EDNSP: CD Zone Changes in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public re Gas Stations, Vehicle hearing to consider amendments to the commercial and industrial zones related Service etc. to the permitting of new and used vehicle sales, rental, leasing, repair and service including gas stations and car washes. Lisa Grueter, Senior Planner, explained that the purpose of the proposed changes is to achieve better consistency in the Zoning Code for gas stations and common ancillary services, as well as better define service and repair activities. The amendments address all the commercial and industrial zones in an attempt to determine appropriate use categories for various auto-related uses. The proposed changes would add or modify zoning definitions for terms including body shops, car washes, gas stations, etc. Uses not currently allowed in some zones would become permitted, as follows: car washes in the Center Neighborhood (CN) zone; mini-marts, car washes, and eating and drinking establishments, if part of a gas station, in the Center Office/Residential (COR) zone; mini-marts in the Light, Medium and Heavy Industrial zones; and body shops in the Heavy Industrial zone. One significant change being recommended is that gas stations be newly prohibited in the Center Downtown (CD) and Commercial Office (CO) zones, and that automobile sales, leanings and rentals, car washes, and vehicle service and repair likewise not be permitted in the CD zone. Ms. Grueter explained staffs view that auto-related uses can be land consumptive or otherwise incompatible with the City's vision for the downtown. Existing uses would be grandfathered. *100 March 16, 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 93 Concluding, Ms. Grueter said the proposed changes would also clarify or refine existing landscaping and screening requirements in the commercial and industrial zones affecting screening next to abutting residential zones, screening of outdoor storage, and other issues. For example, the term "landscaped visual barrier" will be redefined to mean screening that includes evergreen vegetation which becomes dense within three years. Audience comment was invited.

Citizen Comment: John Jankowski, 620 Grant Ave. S., Renton, 98055, expressed concern about Jankowski - Downtown the condition of the downtown core area, and urged that Council appropriate Piazza Phase II Funding funding for the first construction phase of the Downtown Piazza project. Saying this project is important to the revitalization of the downtown core, he said this in turn will benefit the City as a whole. Emphasizing that investment follows investment, Mr. Jankowski implored Council not to hesitate in appropriating these funds as requested. Citizen Comment: Richter Marjorie Richter, 300 Meadow Ave. N., Renton, 98055, echoed Mr. - Downtown Piazza Phase Jankowski's concerns about the appropriation of funds for phase two of the II Funding Downtown Piazza project.

For.addrtnonal information, please contact City of Renton Planning at 425-235 2552 or call Lisa Grueterdirectly at 425 277-5578 INTRODUCTION The proposed amendments are intended to achieve better consistency in the allowances for gas stations and common ancillary services, as well as better define service and repair activities. Proposed landscape standards would provide greater clarity for staff and developers in implementing screening requirements. The amendments address all the commercial and industrial zones to determine appropriate use categories for the various auto-related uses. Some changes in use allowances, such as prohibiting several auto oriented uses in the Center Downtown are intended to better match the vision statement and policies for the Downtown, and recognize changes in circumstance with the development of the Automall. ORDINANCE DESCRIPTION The proposed amendments would: • Add or modify zoning definitions of a variety of terms including body shops, car washes, gas stations, landscaped visual barrier, large and small vehicle,mini-marts, and vehicle service and repair. • Adjust land use allowances for gas stations, vehicle service, mini-marts and related uses in the commercial and industrial zones. Some key changes include allowing car washes in the Center Neighborhood zone, allowing mini-marts, car washes, and eating and drinking establishments in the Center Office/Residential zone if part of a gas station, allowing mini-marts in the Light, Medium And Heavy Industrial zones, and allowing body shops in the Heavy Industrial zone. Also it is proposed that gas stations be newly prohibited in the Center Downtown and Commercial Office zones, and that automobile sales/leasing/rental, vehicle service/repair and car washes be newly prohibited in the Center Downtown zone. Refer to the attached chart. • Clarify/refine some existing landscape/screening requirements in the commercial and industrial zones, for screening next to abutting residential zones, screening of outdoor storage, etc. *1100 PROPOSED USE AMENDMENTS NEW CHANGED CHANGE IN ZONE PROHIBITED NEW USE FROM SECONDARY USE ALLOWANCE SECONDARY TO USE PRIMARY CONDITIONS Center • Automobile Downtown sales, leasing, and rental • Small vehicle service and repair • Gas stations • Car washes Center Suburban • Gas stations • Small vehicle service and repair • Car washes Center • Car wash as • Gas stations Neighborhood primary use • Small vehicle service and repair Commercial • Gas stations Arterial Convenience Commercial Commercial • Gas stations Office Center Office/ As HECUP's: • Allow food stores Residential • Mini-marts (if smaller than part of gas 11,000 to allow for station) specialty food • Car washes stores (one bay,if part of gas station) • Eating/drink- ing places with drive-through service (if part of gas station) Light Industrial • Mini-marts as • Eating/drinking primary use establishments • Gas stations • Vehicle service Medium As primary uses: • Eating/drinking Industrial • Mini-marts establishments • Vehicle service • Gas stations Heavy Industrial As primary uses: • Eating/drinking • Mini-marts Establishments • Vehicle service • Body shops PHHAND.DOC Walter and Sharon Austin Nor PerfectionTire Partnership Vera Jean Matthews 14823 4701 Ave. E. 205 Logan Ave. S. 10415 SE 174th St. #526 '1'aconta, WA 98446 Renton, WA 98055 Renton, WA 98055 John A. and Carol M.

Summary of Action: The proposed amendments would: • Add or modify zoning definitions of a variety of terms including body shops, car washes, gas stations, landscaped visual barrier, large and small vehicle,mini-marts,and vehicle service and repair. • Adjust land use allowances for gas stations, vehicle service, mini-marts and related uses in the commercial and industrial zones. Some key changes include allowing car washes in the Center Neighborhood zone, allowing mini-marts, car washes, and eating and drinking establishments in the Center Office/Residential zone if part of a gas station, allowing mini-marts in the Light, Medium And Heavy Industrial zones, and allowing body shops in the Heavy Industrial zone. Also it is proposed that gas stations be newly prohibited in the Center Downtown and Commercial Office zones, and that automobile sales/leasing/rental,vehicle service/repair and car washes be newly prohibited in the Center Downtown zone. • Clarify/refine some existing landscape/screening requirements in the commercial and industrial zones, for screening next to abutting residential zones, screening of outdoor storage, etc. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt ordinance as proposed by staff AGNCC.DOC two *to CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS & STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMORANDUM DATE: February 5, 1998 TO: Bob Edwards,President City Council Members VIA: � i Mayor Jesse Tanner Se FROM: Sue Carlson,Administrator )1" Economic Development,Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning Department STAFF CONTACT: Mike Kattermann(ext. 6190)[! SUBJECT: Gas Stations,Vehicle Service,Mini-Marts, and Related Uses ISSUES: • Should gas stations be defined as including typical accessory uses, or should the uses be separately defined and listed in each commercial and industrial zone? • Should there be adjustments in how the auto-related uses and typical accessory uses are treated in the commercial and industrial zones? • Are more specific landscape and screening requirements needed for commercial/industrial uses abutting residential, and outdoor storage and repair areas? RECOMMENDATIONS: • Define gas stations and potential accessory uses separately. • Do not allow automobile sales/rental/leasing, vehicle service/repair,gas stations, or car washes in the CD zone, or gas stations in the CO zone. • Allow mini-marts in the industrial zones as primary uses. Shift vehicle service, gas stations, and eating and drinking establishments from secondary to primary uses where applicable. • Allow mini-marts in the COR zone with a Hearing Examiner conditional use permit, if sited in conjunction with gas stations. Adjust the size restrictions for food stores in order to allow for specialty food shops. ,41110, *le February 5, 1998 Page 2 • Consolidate auto service and auto repair, but distinguish between small and large vehicle service and repair; and continue to treat body shops separately. Allow body shops in the IH zone similar to allowances in the IL and IM zones. • Change gas stations, vehicle service and repair from secondary to primary uses in the CS and CN zones. Change car washes from a secondary to a primary use in the CS zone, and add car washes as a new primary use in the CN zone. • Define what sight-obscuring landscaping means when industrial or commercial zones abut residentially zoned property. Make minor adjustments to landscaping provisions for outdoor activities. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Purpose The purpose of the amendments is to allow for gas stations and uses commonly associated with them such as mini-marts, auto repair, fast-food restaurants and car washes in a consistent and logical manner. The work program has come in part due to inquiries from a property owner who is interested in requesting a rezone from Commercial Office (CO)to Industrial-Medium(IM), and developing a gas station and mini- mart as well as an auto leasing business along Grady Way. Comprehensive Plan Policies Policies for the Center designations promote mixing of uses,and discouraging strip development(LU-82). Policies in the Employment Area designations indicate that each designation should have a primary emphasis, but allow for secondary uses (LU-149). This is expanded upon in the Employment Area- Valley designation where commercial uses may be located in proximity to industrial uses if there is adequate buffering and accommodation of deliveries and loading to industrial sites. In all Center and Employment Area designations, there are policies regarding buffering and landscaping along major corridors or where needed to reduce impacts to less intensive uses(e.g. LU-R, LU-151,LU-160). Issues Current allowances for gas stations, mini-marts, car washes, auto service and repair, etc. are shown in Attachment A. Identified issues are noted in italics below, and discussion follows each subject. 1. Should gas stations be defined as including typical accessory uses, or should the uses be separately defined and listed in each commercial and industrial zone? The typical accessory uses to a gas station have been changing over time: from gas stations with auto repair, to gas stations with mini-marts, to gas stations with fast-food restaurants. Because the use continues to evolve, and because the different accessory uses may have different impacts depending on location or zone, defining the various components separately is recommended. 2. Should we continue to allow auto-related uses in Center Downtown zone? Should we continue to allow gas stations in the CO zone? The CD zone allows auto service as a secondary use, and auto repair and car washes by administrative conditional use permit, unless located in the Downtown Core Area, where the uses 'fir✓ ISO February 5, 1998 Page 3 require Hearing Examiner conditional use permits. Automobile sales, rental and leasing are allowed as secondary uses. Gas stations are allowed by Hearing Examiner conditional use permit. (Body shops are not allowed, as is the case in most commercial/center zones). These auto related uses can be land consumptive, and may not be compatible with the vision of the Downtown as an intensive mixed use center described in the Comprehensive Plan vision statement and in the Downtown Element. In the case of auto sales, the City has successfully attracted nearly all of the auto dealers from the Downtown to the automall along Grady Way. Deleting these uses from the list of permitted and conditionally permitted uses would result in nonconforming uses in several locations in the CD zone. These uses would be grandfathered, and could continue, unless the use is abandoned by the owner for more than one year or is replaced by a conforming use. The Zoning Code allows for some restoration in case the use is damage by fire, explosion, or act of God, up to 50% of the building value. There would be an ability to apply for conditional approval which would allow greater restoration of a damaged non-conforming use, up to 100%of the building value. Regarding the gas station allowances in the CO zone, they are allowed by Hearing Examiner conditional use permit. Given the relatively small amount of land designated for CO uses, and the larger amount of commercial and industrial land that can accommodate these uses, it is proposed that gas stations be eliminated in the CO zone. 3. Should we allow gas stations with mini-marts in the Center Office/Residential zone? Grocery stores between 11,000 and 25,000 square feet are allowed in the Center Office/Residential (COR) zone, but there are no allowances for mini-marts. Since they are commonly co-located with gas stations, mini-marts could be allowed if sited in conjunction with gas stations which currently require a Hearing Examiner conditional use permit in the COR zone. There is a concern that the mini-mart definition coupled with the size restrictions for food stores could preclude the establishment of specialty stores such as Delaurenti's. Specialty food shops may locate on the Port Quendall site given the potential office/residential/waterfront recreation uses along Lake Washington. It is proposed that the definition of mini-mart be modified to indicate that it is a retail establishment offering convenience goods and pre-packaged goods rather than calling them small food or grocery stores. It is also proposed that the lower limit of 11,000 square feet for food stores be removed to allow for small specialty food shops. Allowances for mini-marts and smaller food stores on the Stoneway site are not likely to lead to strip development because of requirements that food stores must be located in primary use structures, the limitations on mini-marts (can only locate with gas stations which probably can't go on the Stoneway site because of the aquifer protection zone), and the master plan requirements. 4. Gas stations are allowed in the industrial zones, but mini-marts, which are now common accessory uses, are not specifically allowed. r *4100 February 5, 1998 Page 4 The proposed amendments have been initiated in part due to an inquiry about allowing a mini-mart in conjunction with a gas station in an industrial zone. Mini-marts are proposed to be allowed as primary uses. In addition, some secondary uses such as gas stations, eating and drinking establishments, and vehicle service are proposed to be moved from secondary to primary. The existing general conditions ("operated in conjunction with a primary use" and "suitable location") do not appear to be necessary or logical in all cases. For example, gas stations are usually a primary use and not operated in conjunction with many of the manufacturing uses which predominate in the IL, IM, and IH zones. Allowing mini-marts and eating and drinking establishments as primary uses is not anticipated to create a large potential for strip commercial because most of the industrial zones are developed. This was not necessarily the case in 1993 when the Interim Zoning and Comprehensive Plan were put in place. In comparison to the CA zone, the industrial zones would continue to have much fewer retail opportunities, and much more emphasis upon manufacturing uses. S. What is the difference between auto repair and auto service? Should we allow either in all industrial zones? Should we allow auto service in all commercial/center zones where gas stations are allowed? In a review of other jurisdictions' definitions (see Attachment B), there is no distinction between heavier and lighter auto service(e.g. oil/lube vs. engine overhaul), except for auto body shops. There are distinctions between repair allowances for small and large vehicles. The Cities of Seattle and Sumner, distinguish auto service and repair based upon the weight of vehicles. The threshold is 10,000 pounds. Based upon the Traffic Engineering Handbook,typical gross vehicle weights are as follows: • Passenger cars- 1,500 to 4,000 pounds • Light trucks -generally under 10,000 pounds • Single-unit or straight trucks,used for hauling commercial goods - 10,000 to 40,000 pounds • Combination trucks (tractor-trailer) -up to 80,000 pounds or more In discussion with other staff in the Transportation Systems Division, a review of product brochures indicated that recreational vehicles weigh anywhere from 12,000 to 32,000 pounds, and tour buses about 60,000 pounds. It is recommended that auto service and auto repair not be separately defined, but that service and repair activities be distinguished by the size of vehicle being repaired. This is recommended because even lighter maintenance activities such as tire replacement can be intensive and noisy. Other light maintenance activities such as oil/lube and tune-ups may not be as noisy, but may generate intensive activity on smaller sites. As proposed small vehicle repair and service would be allowed in more zones than heavy vehicle repair and service. Body shops would be separately defined and allowed in fewer zones. Body shops are currently allowed in the CA zone by Hearing Examiner conditional use permit, and in the IL and IM zones. In IOW Noe February 5, 1998 Page 5 the IH zone, body shops would be newly allowed since they are allowed in the IL and IM zones, and since other intensive uses are allowed such as heavy equipment repair, airplane and auto manufacturing, towing and impoundment operations, and others. It appears that body shop allowances were an oversight; however, the IH zone is adjacent (i.e. across rights-of-way) to residential areas in some locations. Future body shops would be required to meet Uniform Building Code,Uniform Fire Code, Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Authority regulations, as well as others including SEPA review(depending on size). Outdoor storage development standards would help ensure adequate screening of cars being repaired. Although outdoor storage appears as a use category in the Commercial Office (CO) and industrial zones, outdoor storage is also addressed in the development standards of all the commercial and center zones. 6. How should auto-related uses be treated in the CA zone which allows for strip commercial uses along primary arterials, and in the CS and CN zones which allow for a large range of commercial uses, but which are intended to be more intensive mixed-use districts in the future? It is proposed that gas stations be allowed as primary uses instead of secondary uses in all the CA, CS, and CN zones. These uses tend to locate on corner lots, and are not as land consumptive as other auto-related uses. Regarding vehicle service and repair in the CS and CN zones, it is proposed that they be primary uses instead of secondary uses. This is also the case for car washes in the CS zone. Car washes would be newly added as a primary use in the CN zone. Current secondary use conditions regarding screening of bays and storage areas are already addressed in development standards, and the site plan review process would apply according to the thresholds of the Site Plan Review regulations. 7. How should we screen commercial and industrial uses and their related storage and repair areas? Screening is required between commercial uses and abutting or adjacent residential uses. Screening of outdoor storage and outdoor repair areas is also required. Although landscaping plans are required for nearly all new developments, landscape regulations are silent regarding the types of trees and shrubs (evergreen versus deciduous)or plant sizes. A full landscape ordinance rewrite is not proposed. However, staff would like to define what"sight- obscuring" landscaping means when a commercial/industrial use abuts (i.e. is contiguous to) a residential zone. Providing more guidance would result in greater ease for staff reviewing development permits, and greater clarity in determining the level of screening required. A comparison of landscape requirements from Bellevue,Kent and King County is attached(Attachment C). At a preliminary briefing on January 7, 1998,the Planning Commission indicated an interest in noise attenuation between commercial or industrial activities and residential areas. The primary purpose of current and proposed screening requirements in the commercial and industrial zones is visual buffering, although some sound attenuation may occur depending on the depth and type of plantings and whether a wall is also provided. For outdoor storage and repair activities, reference is made to landscaping,berming or fencing which achieves adequate visual or acoustical screening. Currently, the City has adopted the sections from the Washington Administrative Code EDNA (environmental designation for noise abatement) system in RMC 8-7-4 which indicates the maximum %kw Nagoo February 5, 1998 Page 6 noise levels between noise sources and residential, commercial and industrial zones. Updates of the zoning references are needed in the chapter (e.g. change reference to old B-1 and other zone names). Another source of regulation regarding the ability to condition proposals include the Site Plan Review regulations and SEPA process. Also, standard Uniform Building Code requirements and energy code requirements achieve noise reduction as well. Noise attenuation information is provided under separate cover from the Neighborhoods and Strategic Planning Section. Summary of Staff Proposal Following is a discussion of key portions of the proposed amendments. The detailed code amendments are provided as Attachment D. Definitions Since there are no definitions for a variety of terms in the Zoning Code, the proposed code amendments provide the following new definitions: • Body Shop - defines the heaviest and most intensive vehicle repair, that is typically more limited in commercial zones than in industrial zones. • Car Wash-defines these as structures with machine-or hand-operated facilities for washing, polishing and waxing vehicles. • Gas Station - defines it as a place for retail fueling of vehicles, and does not reference accessory uses. • Landscaped Visual Barrier - defines it as evergreen trees or equivalent evergreen shrubs which provide a year-round dense screen within three years of planting. This is similar to the Type I landscape standards from Bellevue and Kent. Generally, the definition would apply when commercial or industrial zones abut residential zones. Aside from updating zoning references and clarifying terminology because the definitions of adjacent and abutting were modified in 1996, the IH zone would essentially continue to have current fencing and landscaping standards. Any further review of the IH zone development standards could be addressed as a separate work program as this was a contentious issue previously. • Large Vehicle and Small Vehicle - defines these based upon type and weight of vehicles. This will help consolidate the laundry list of auto, motorcycle, truck, boat, RV, and heavy equipment repair use allowances. • Vehicle Service and Repair-includes less and more intensive vehicle maintenance and repair. Service and repair are not separately defined, because even lighter maintenance activities such as tire replacement can be intensive and noisy. However, small vehicle service and repair would be allowed in more zones than heavy vehicle service and repair. Eating and drinking establishments can be defined in a future work program since it would involve also defining taverns, micro-breweries, etc. Auto sales, leasing and rental definitions can also be defined in a future work program along with other related items.

The Planning Commission discussed the staff proposal on February 4, 1998, and is expected to make their recommendations on February 18, 1998. CONCLUSION: The proposed amendments would achieve better consistency in the allowances for gas stations and common ancillary services, as well as better define service and repair activities. Proposed landscape standards would provide greater clarity for staff and developers in implementing screening requirements.

(Bellevue) Convenience Store, Intensive: (Issaquah) A. When all the following criteria are met, the convenience store shall be defined as "intensive": 1. Outdoor storage may be needed which is five (5) percent or more of the building square footage; 2. Restaurants having floor space for food preparation, related activities, and other space not accessible to the public, which exceed forty (40) percent of the floor area; 3. Vehicular traffic, building bulk or hours of operation which may have a significant adverse effect on adjacent uses. B. In addition to meeting all the criteria within the above listed subsections (A)(1), (A)(2) and (A)(3) of this section, if any one (1) of the following criteria is met, the convenience store shall be defined as "intensive": 1. Gasoline pump island(s); 2. Open any time between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.; 3. Prepared/cooked food for sale; 4. State lottery ticket sales; and 5. Large building size when compared to adjacent buildings. Convenience Store,Not Intensive: When all the following criteria are met,the convenience store shall be defined "not intensive": (Issaquah) A. All activities are conducted within a completely enclosed structure; B. Outdoor storage is less than five(5)percent of the building square footage; C. In the case of restaurants, floor space for food preparation, related activities and other space not accessible to the public does not exceed forty (40) percent of the floor area; and D. Vehicular traffic, building bulk or hours of operation do not have significant adverse effect upon adjacent uses. If any of the criteria listed within the definition of "convenience store, intensive" are met, the convenience store shall be defined as "intensive". Convenience Store: Any retail establishment offering for sale prepackaged food products, household items, newspapers and magazines, and sandwiches and other freshly prepared foods, such as salads, for %iv Niso ATTACHMENT B off-site consumption (The New Illustrated Book of Development Definitions, Moskowitz and Lindbloom, 1993) Discussion: The convenience store is the modern equivalent of the corner grocery- open long hours and containing a myriad of items. They can be intensive operations. Parking, lighting, litter and related impacts on adjacent residences are important planning and zoning considerations. A critical control standard is store size. Most experts agree that an appropriate maximum size for such stores is 3,500 square feet. That limitation should appear in the body of the ordinance. Convenience Store: Any retail establishment offering for sale prepackaged food products, household items, and other goods commonly associated with the same and having a gross floor area of less than 5,000 square feet (West Hollywood, Calif. included in PAS Report 421, 1989). Discussion: Some zoning codes make a distinction between convenience stores and other commercial retail uses. This distinction is most commonly based on the size of the establishment - with the upper threshold for convenience stores ranging from 5,000 to 7,500 square feet. Convenience stores are regulated differently from other retail uses because their operating characteristics - traffic generation, hours of operation, noise, litter, and lighting-tend to be more intrusive to neighboring residential areas. *Mini-Mart: A small grocery or food store usually located within or associated with another use. (Renton) GAS STATIONS/SERVICE STATIONS/AUTO REPAIR Automobile Repair, Major: General repair, rebuilding, or reconditioning of engines, motor vehicles, or trailers such as collision service, body repair and frame straightening; painting and upholstering; vehicle steam cleaning; and undercoating.

(The New Illustrated Book of Development Definitions, Moskowitz and Lindbloom, 1993) Discussion: The name "automobile service station"is probably a misnomer as more and more stations convert to gas sales only and no longer undertake vehicle repairs. In addition, many gas-only stations are selling snack food, tobacco, drinks, newspapers, and similar convenience goods as accessory or appurtenant to the principal use. Some additional parking may be needed for shoppers other than those getting gas. At some point, the accessory use may become the principal use. Other zoning considerations include multiple use of the site,parking and circulation, signs and landscaping.
