B. ZONING USE TABLES ESTABLISHED:
The following tables establish whether a specific use is permitted in a zoning district and whether the use
is allowed as "Prsee^a;"permitted " 'conditional", " r "accessory"
use, The zZone district- is located on the horizontal row and the specific use is located on the vertical
column of these tables.
C. INTERPRETATION OF ZONING USE TABLES:
1. Legend: The following letters have the following meanings when they appear in the box at the
intersection of the column and the row:
P Primary UsePermitted Use
AD Conditional Use — Administrative
H Conditional Use — Hearing Examiner
AC Accessory Use
y Temporary Us
2. Other Requirements Applicable: Any of the above uses are subject to the review procedures
specified in chapter 4-9 AMC, Permits Specific, the
development standards of chapters 4-3, Environmental Regulations and Special-Overtav Districts,
4-4. City -Wide Property Development Standards, and 4-(r, Street and Utility Standards; and may

classified use even if not sMifically listed as accesso or an unclassified use is permitted as
an accessory use in a Zone. Upon inquiry by an applicant. an administrative interpretation shall
be made by the Development Services Division Director to determine if a proposed use is allowed
as an acoesso use utilizing the rules of inter relation in subsection "a". If the applicaril does not
concur with the interpretation of whether a use is accessory or with the permit type applied to a
use, appeal may be made pursuant to RMC 4-8-110. Interpretations made by the Development
Services Division Director shall be documented, and updates to Title 4. when consistent with the
Title format and level of detail, shall incorporate "accessory use" interpretations upon approval by
the legislative authority.

RMC 4-2-010 to 050
a. Rules of Interpretation for Accessory Uses: To determine whether a use is permitted
as accessory,the Development Services Division Director shalt utilize the following rules
of interpretation:
i. If a use is permitted or conditionally -permitted in a zone as a primary use, an
accessory form of the use may be permitted with the same permit type as the
primary use, unless specifically stated otherwise. For example, if the primary
form of the . use requires a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit, the
accessory form of the use also requires a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use
Permit, unless specifically stated otherwise.
ii. If a use is permitted or condhionally oermitted as a rima use su 'ect to
location restrictions, the accessory form of the use is also subject to the same
location restrictions as the primary use, unless specifically stated otherwise For
example, if a use is restricted to a beation within the Employment Area Valley

in the EAV, unless specifically stated otherwise.
iii. If no syrnbola ears in the box at the intersection of the column and the row, the

incidental, necessary and commonly found with the permitted or conditionally
permitted use and is consistent with the definition of accessory uses or structures

iv. Required parking, required site utifitiesifacifities, and other development
standards reouired in order to establish or operate a use on a site according to
the RMC are considered accessory.
[Editor's Note: Accessoruses are modified on the proposed Use Table to list uses typically onyx -allowed
in. accessory form. Otherwise accessory uses 'float'. since all, accessory uses cannot be listed easily, or
are known today. A DrDcess is added to determine how an unlisted accessory use can be permitted.1

6. Unclassified Uses: Up2n inguhry by an applicant, an administrative interpretation shalt be made
by the Development Services Division Director to determine if a proposed use not specifically
listed is allowed utilizing the criteria in subsection "a�. Should interpretation be made that a
proposed, unlisted use not be allowed in a specific_zoning district, the Director shall indicate with
which Zone it any, the use is consistent. ff the Development Services Division Director's
interpretation indicates that an unlisted use is not consistent with the ermitted conditional or
accessory uses in any district or if the applicant does not concur with the vermil hW applied to a
use, appeal may be made pursuant to RMC 4-8-110. Interpretations made by the Development
Services Division Director shall be documented, and updates to Title 4, when consistent with the
Title format and level of detail, shall incorporate "unclassified use interpretations upon approval
by the legislative authority.
a. Criteria for Unclassified Uses. To determine whether an unclassified use is permitted
conditionally -permitted -or access ory, the Development Services Division Director shall
determine the use is:
i. in keeping with the purpose and intent of the zone and consistent with the
Renton Comprehensive Plan policies,, and
ii. similar in nature -to, and no more intense than, a specifically -listed permitted,
conditional or accessory use'. and
chapter 2_amend.doc 4-2-16 December 11, 2001
RMC 4-2-010 to 050
if determined to be permissible as an accessory use, consistent with RMC 4-2-
050.C.4.
[Editor's Note: Sections C.5 and C.6 clarify prohibited versus unclassified uses_ With the "collapse" of the
proposed Use Table and reliance on use definitions, this section may become very important]

Ouse (fable; and any other individual zoning use tables, RMC 4-2-070A through 4-2-070R,
the provisions of RMC 4-2-060 shall have priority. (Ord. 4782, 5-24-1999)
B. Existing Legal Uses: Where the term "existing" or "existing legal follows a listed use type within
the table(s)(eg. flats or townhouses, existing legal), then those uses that can document their
legal status, are considered to be a Permitted Use given all the rights of other permitted uses
Within the district. In addition, these uses may be rebuilt 'as .is, where is' should they suffer
damage. These uses may be remodeled without limitation on value and may be enlarged subject
to current code reguirementsfe.q., height limits, lot coverage, density limits, setbacks parking,
etc.)-un_less otherwise specifically conditioned, [Editors Note: Would codify current interpretation
of Use Fable "existing I al" versus basic nonconforming use approach in Chapter RMC 4-10.

B. The use provides a necessary service supportive of the water -dependent commercial activities and
the proximity of the use to its customers makes its services less expensive and/or more convenient.
Examples include manufacturers of ship parts large enough that transportation becomes a significant
factor in the products cost, professional services serving primarily water -dependent activities and
storage of water -transported foods.
Examples of water -related uses may include warehousing of goods transported by water, seafood

FINDINGS OF FACT
Applicant. Renton Technical College.
2. Hearing. The Examiner held a hearing on the subject application on February 12, 2013 at
9:00 am in the City of Renton Council Chambers.
Substantive:
3. Project Description. The Renton Technical College ("RTC") has applied for a conditional
use permit for a change of use from a childcare center into a medical clinic, specifically the King
County Public Health ("KCPH") Medical Day Use Clinic. The building at issue is located at the
northern border of the RTC.
The day -use medical clinic would provide health services to moderate to lower income families.
The clinic also offers parental education, water quality testing, and the ability to obtain health related
Iegal documents. The building currently contains a childcare center that serves students and staff of
RTC. The one-story structure is approximately 8,800 square feet. There is also an associated 200
cubic yard outdoor wood chip play area just north of the building. The applicant's propose to
remodel the building to convert it to a medical clinic_ Associated site work includes the removal of
the existing 200 cubic yard wood chip play area which would be replaced with 200 cubic yards of
fill for an asphalt parking area with 12 fleet vehicles owned and operated by KCPH.
A conceptual landscape plan was submitted with the project application (Exhibit 4). The landscape
plan includes a planting plan for a planting strip along NE 7th street ranging from 18-feet and 3-
inches to 23-feet and 2-inches. The planting strip contains three existing maple trees and proposed
groundcover consisting of: reedfeather grass, golden hakone grass, morning light, blue lyme grass,
black mondo grass, Russian sage, and lawn. Ten feet of on -site landscaping will required along all
public street frontages, with the exception of areas for required walkways and driveways per RMC
4-4-070. In sum, landscaping will be provided in all areas not occupied by buildings or paving.
Additional landscaping has been provided in order to buffer adjacent properties from potentially
adverse effects of the proposed use.
The proposed landscaping is used to provide transitions between the proposed parking area and the
adjacent properties to the north in order to reduce noise and glare, maintain privacy, and generally
enhance the appearance of the project. The landscaping softens the appearance of parking areas and
generally enhances the appearance of the project. However, the applicant has not provided a
diversity of plantings. Staff recommends, as a condition of approval, the applicant provide a revised
landscape plan depicting a mixture of trees, shrubs, and groundcover. The recommended condition
is imposed as part of this decision_

extended from nearby minor arterial Monroe Ave SE. NE 4th St, also an arterial, is located in close
proximity of the facility. Once operational the proposed use would be one very few clinics in the
City providing medical services to moderate and lower income families. Additionally, public transit
is located on NE 4th St which is in within 1/Z of a mile from the proposed use.
4. Surrounding Area. The Renton Technical College adjoins the project area to the south and
west. Single-family residential use is located to the east and north.
5. Adverse Impacts. There are no significant adverse impacts associated with the project.
There are no critical areas on site. Impacts are more specifically addressed as follows:
A. Noise. No significant noise impacts are anticipated. The existing day care center has not
created any noise problems with adjoining uses and the proposed clinic will probably
generate less noise. The proposed landscaping will help further buffer noise impacts.
Any unreasonable noise impacts would be controlled by the City's noise regulations.
B. Lighting. As conditioned and as regulated by City development standards, the proposal is
not anticipated to create any significant light impacts. Exterior onsite lighting, including
security and parking lot lighting, would be regulated by code. Compliance with this code
(RMC 4-4-075) ensures that all building lights are directed onto the building or the
ground and cannot trespass beyond the property lines.
The proposed surface parking areas located along the north side of the building include
head -in parking stalls that may have potential headlight sweep impacts to the adjacent
residential property. Landscaping, in the form of existing trees and groundcover have
been proposed at the perimeter of the site. However, staff has recommended a mixture of
trees, shrubs and groundcover which will serve to mitigate the light impacts to the
adjacent properties.
C. Aesthetics. The dimensions of the existing building will not change and the proposed
landscaping will provide further buffering to adjoining uses. Given the landscaping, the
aesthetic impacts of the proposal will improve as a result of the project.
D. Parking. As conditioned, the applicant will be required to submit an executed copy of a
parking agreement that authorizes use of 20 off -site parking spaces at the former Public
Health Center located at 3001 NE 4t' St. As conditioned, the proposal would meet the
City's parking standards
E. Traffic. Traffic to and from the clinic would be dispersed throughout the day and early
evening. The vehicular trip generation from the proposed medical facility would not vary
significantly from the trip generation caused by the existing childcare center. The peak
loads would be slightly reduced because the clinic would have on -going operations
throughout the day in place of drop-off and pick-up times of early morning and late

afternoon for the childcare center. There would be some increase in traffic during the
day and early evening but that wouldn't significantly increase the intensity of the traffic
caused by the on -going use of the College. The proposed facility is also located next to
surface parking that serves students.
Conclusion No. 6 and 12 in the staff report provide that the proposed site plan provides
for safe movement for vehicles and pedestrians and that all potential adverse impacts
therefrom to adjoining properties have been mitigated. Given that the proposal has been
reviewed by public works staff and there is no evidence to suggest these conclusions are
in error, they are adopted as verities.
Conclusions of Law
1. Authorily. Medical institutions, defined by RMC 4-11-030 to include medical clinics, are
authorized in the IL zone as hearing examiner conditional uses. RMC 4-8-080(G) classifies
conditional use applications as Type III permits when Hearing Examiner review is required. As Type
III applications, RMC 4-8-080(G) grants the Examiner with the authority to hold a hearing and issue
a final decision on them, subject to closed record appeal to the City Council.
2. Zoning/coinprehensive Plan Desi ations. The subject property is zoned Light Industrial
(IL). The comprehensive plan land use designation is Commercial Corridor.
3. Review Criteria. Conditional use criteria are governed by RMC 4-9-030(D). All applicable
criteria are quoted below in italics and applied through corresponding conclusions of law.
RMC 4-9-030(C)(1): Consistency with Plans and Regulations: The proposed use shall be
compatible with the general goals, objectives, policies and standards of the Comprehensive Plan, the
zoning regulations and any other plans, programs, maps or ordinances of the City of Renton.
4. The proposal is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and development regulations as
outlined in the staff report at pages 4-S, which is incorporated by this reference as if set forth in full
with one modification. As noted by staff during the hearing, contrary to the statements in the staff
report the applicant does not need to apply for a parking modification to use off -site parking to meet
the City's parking standards. RMC 4-4-080 authorizes off -site parking if it is provided for the
duration of the use.
RMC 4-9-030(C)(2): Appropriate Location: The proposed location shall not result in the
detrimental overconcentration of a particular use within the City or within the immediate area of the
proposed use. The proposed location shall be suited for the proposed use.
5. As determined in Finding of Fact ("FOF") No. 3, the City does not have many medical clinics
that serve low and moderate income individuals and apparently none are located in proximity to the

project site. The project site is well suited for the proposed use because its location in an existing
building on the Technical College campus assures that there will be no compatibility problems with
surrounding uses. Further, as noted in FOF No. 3, the area is located close to transit stops.
RMC 4-9-030(C)(3): Effect on Adjacent Properties: The proposed use at the proposed location
shall not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property.
6. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5 there are no adverse impacts associated with the
proposal, so it will not result in substantial or undue adverse effects on adjacent property.
RMC 4-9-030(C)(4): Compatibility: The proposed use shall be compatible with the scale and
character of the neighborhood.
7. As determined in Finding of Fact No. 5 there are no adverse impacts associated with the
proposal. The use of an existing building that adjoins or is integrated into an existing community
college campus should further promote compatibility. The proposal will likely improve upon
compatibility because it will probably generate less noise impacts, will not create any more traffic
and will involve a significant amount of new landscaping.
RMC 4-9-030(C)(5): Parking: Adequate parking is, or will be made, available.
8. As determined in FOF No. 5, the proposal will provide for adequate parking.
RMC 4-9-030(C)(6): Traffic: The use shall ensure safe movement for vehicles and pedestrians and
shall mitigate potential effects on the surrounding area.
9. The criterion above has been met as determined in FOF No. 5 on its assessment of traffic
impacts.
RMC 4-9-030(C)(7): Noise, Light and Glare: Potential noise, light and glare impacts from the
proposed use .shall be evaluated and mitigated.
10. Noise, light and glare impacts are adequately mitigated as determined in FOF No. 5 on its
assessment of noise and light impacts.
RMC 4-9-030(C)(8): Landscaping: Landscaping shall be provided in all areas not occupied by
buildings, paving, or critical areas. Additional landscaping may be required to buffer adjacent
properties from potentially adverse effects of the proposed use.
11. As determined in Finding of Fact 3, the criterion is met.

C Project Description /Background:
The building located at 1100 Edmonds Avenue NE was built in 1965 and initially used as a. nursing home. After Renton
City Ordinance No. 5125 was passed in 2005 and holistic health care centers were allowed exist in the Residential Multi -
Family (RM-F) zone, the building was converted to a multi -tenant holistic health center. The proposed Hwazan Buddhist
Foundation would join the existing use, the Healing Arts Center. The proposed project was designated as an
"unclassified use" as it is not specifically listed in Renton's Municipal Code. On February 19"', 2007, the Development
Services Director issued a determination that the project proposal was classified as a "retreat center" and subject to an
Administrative Conditional Use Permit.
The Hwazan Buddhist Foundation is a non-profit organization with branch locations in Dallas, Texas and Taipei, Taiwan.
The organization offers meditation classes and practice, which would be offered to both local residents and visitors.
Short-term boarding would be available for visitors from out-of-town. The applicant anticipates that approximately 10-15
people will use the meditation facilities at any given time, and the impacts to traffic and parking would be minimal. The
project would convert approximately 80 percent of the building into space used as a retreat center. The Healing Arts
Center would retain its existing medical practice and commercial retail area, occupying approximately 20% of the
building space. It is anticipated that there would be a high level of interaction and between the two organizations by both
staff and patients/customers.
The existing building is 26,680 square feet, situated on a 65,613 square foot (1.51 acre) parcel. Two other structures, a
small building and a garage, exist as part of the facility, but they are on a separate lot, and are not part of this project
proposal. The existing building height is approximately 22 feet (two stories), and there are 44 surface parking stalls
onsite. Access is via an existing driveway from Edmonds Avenue NE.

Land uses surrounding the subject site include: North; zoned RM-F, with an existing single family home; South: zoned
RM-F, with an existing single family home; East: zoned RM-F, with an existing single family home; and West: the
intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Edmonds Avenue NE, the property across the intersection is zoned Commercial
Neighborhood (CN), with existing retail business.
D. Consistency with Conditional Use Criteria:
Section 4-9-O3OG lists decision criteria that the decision -maker is asked to consider, along with all other relevant
information, in making a decision on a conditional use permit application. These include the following:
f. Comprehensive Flan: The proposed use shall be compatible with the general purpose, goals, objectives and
standards of the Comprehensive Plan, the Toning regulations and any otherplan, program, map or ordinance of
the City of Renton.
a. Comprehensive Plan:
Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Center Village. Comprehensive Plan objectives for the
proposed use are twofold. 1) LU-MM: Encourage a wide range and combination of uses, developed at sufficient
intensity to maximize efficient use of land, support transit use, and create a viable district, and; 2) LU-CCC:
Develop Center Villages, characterized by intense urban development supported by site planning and
infrastructure that provide a pedestrian scale environment. The following specific Comprehensive Plan policies
are applicable to this proposed project:
Policy LU-201: Include uses that are compatible with each other within mixed -use developments; for example,
office and certain retail uses with residential, office, and retail.
The proposed proj ect would cluster two uses, medical institution and retreat center, into one existing building.
Although the proposed project is complimentary to the Healing Arts Center (designated as a medical
institution), it is not considered an accessory use because it is a fundamentally different concept. The result
would be a unique combination of uses to form a holistic center focused on providing comprehensive
healthcare and healing to the mind and body.
Policy LU-321: Encourage mixed -use structures and projects.
These two uses compliment each other extremely well. In its capacity as a medical institution and a retreat
center for meditation, the essence of Healing Arts Center is to provide a quiet, tranquil mixed -use development,
focused on comprehensive healthcare and healing. In,this capacity, it would cause little impact on the abutting
residential properties, and would provide the opportunity to further develop a unique healthcare center.
Policy LU-325. Encourage shared parking to use urban land efficiently.
The current building site has 44 existing surface parking spaces, and the capacity to provide four additional
stalls along the northeast side of an existing fire lane (along the southeast edge of the parking lot, the lane is
wider than required by the Fire Department, and the applicant has permission from the Fire Department to use
the space for parking). Merging the Hwazan Buddhist Foundation with the Healing Arts Center would allow
for the shared use of many resources, including parking, and would eliminate the need to create more
impervious surface in a new development.

REPORT OF APRIL gr" 2007
Page 4 of 8
Polio LU-327: Encourage uses in Center Villages that serve a sub -regional or citywide market as well as the
surrounding Neighborhoods.
A joint holistic medical institution and retreat center would create a unique health and spiritual care facility that
would serve the greater Renton area and King County. There is opportunity for retail activity, alternative
medical practice, classrooms, and an overnight retreat center to co -exist within one building. Citizens of
Renton would directly benefit from the combined uses found at the Center, some of which (classes) are
available at no cost. This unique holistic center would offer a new vision for healing/health that currently does
not exist within the area.
Folic LU-332: Provide community scale office and service uses.
Even though the development would draw practitioners and clients locally, regionally, nationally and
internationally, the nature of the proposed project would still exist at a community scale because of the limited
number of people that would use the facility at any given time. The existing building has been in use by the
community since 1965, with only a slight change of use over the years. Given the small-scale nature of the
Hwazan Buddhist Foundation, there won't be a massive influx of people, but rather steady stream of small
groups, intent on using the center for the purpose of engaging in holistic healing. The very nature of this
proposed use — for purpose of meditation — is small scale, quiet and peaceful and there will be no large
development impacts to the immediate neighborhood.
b. Zoning Code:
The project site is zoned RM-F. The RM zone was established to implement the multi -family policies of the
Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. The RM Zone provides suitable environments for multi -family
dwellings. It is further intended to conditionally allow uses that are compatible with and support a multi -family
environment. The RM-F suffix allows for the development of both infill parcels in existing multi -family districts
with compatible projects and other -multi-family development. It is intended to implement the Multi -Family or
Center Village Land Use Comprehensive Plan designation. Density ranges from ten (10) to twenty (20) du/acre.
On the project site there is an existing building, with only tenant improvements proposed. Conformance with
development regulations is limited to parking, as no exterior modifications to the existing structures are
proposed. Approximately 80% of the building will be used as a retreat center and 20% as a medical institution.
There are 44 parking spots available. Per Renton Municipal Code the parking requirements for a medical
institution and a retreat center are as follows:

2. Community Need: There shall be a community need for the proposed use at the proposed location. In the
determination of community need [the decision -maker] shall consider the following factors, among all other
relevant information:
a. The proposed location shall not result in either the detrimental over concentration of a particular use with the
City or within the immediate are of the proposed use.
The proposed project is considered a complimentary to the existing holistic health center, and will not result in
an over concentration of use. There are no other existing retreat centers within the immediate vicinity, and the
facility itself is unique to the Renton area.
b. That the proposed location is suited for the proposed use.
The proposed location is ideal for the Hwazan Buddhist Foundation. The existing structure can accommodate
the number of Hwazan's expected visitors, and the proposed project is mutually compatible with the existing
use. Existing surface parking can adequately serve the anticipated visitors. Logically, a holistic healing center
would benefit from another alternative form of healing located in such close proximity. A great deal of
interaction and interdependence between these two organizations is expected.
3. Effect on Adjacent Properties: The proposed use at the proposed location shall not resulting substantial or
undue adverse effects on adjacent property. The following site requirements shall he required. (Or. 3599, I-H-
1982)
a. Lot Coverage: Lot coverage in residential districts (SF and MF) shall not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the lot
coverage of the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. Lot coverage in all other zones shall conform
to the requirements of the zone in which the proposed use is to be located. (Ord. 4404, 6-7-1993)
There are no proposed exterior changes to the building. The total size of the building is 26,680 sq. ft., which
includes the basement, first and the second floors.
b. Yards: Yards shall conform to the requirements of the zone in which the proposed use is to be located.
Additions to the structure shall not be allowed in any required yard.
There are no proposed exterior changes that would impact any yard.
c. Height: Building and structure heights shall conform to the requirements of the zone in which the proposed
use is to he located: Spires, bell towers, public utility antennas or similar structures naay exceed the height
requirement upon approval of a variance. Building heights should be related to surrounding uses in order to
allow optimal sunlight and ventilation, and minimal obstruction of views from adjacent structures.
No changes are proposed. The existing building is two stories and approximately 22 feet high.
4. Compatibility: The proposed use shall be compatible with the residential scale and character of the
neighborhood. (Ord. 3599, 1-11-1982)
In its capacity as a medical institution and a retreat center for meditation, the Healing Arts Center would provide
a quiet, tranquil mixed -use development. It would cause little impact on the abutting residential properties, while
providing retail, medical and retreat center functions to the public.
5. Parking: Parking under the building structure should be encouraged. Lot coverage may be increased to as much
as seventy jive percent (75%) of the lot coverage requirement of the zone in which the proposed use is located if
all parking is provided underground or within the structure. (Ord. 3903, 4-22-1985)
Surface parking for 44 vehicles currently exists. There is adequate parking space available for both the Hwazan
Foundation and the Healing Arts Center staff, patients and visitors.

REPORT OF APfRIL 9'H 2007
Page 6 of 8
6. Traffic: Traffic and circulation patterns of vehicles andpedestrians relating to the proposed use and
surrounding area shall be reviews for potential effects on, and to ensure ,safe movement in, the surrounding area.
Both pedestrians and cars access the Healing Arts Building via a shared winding driveway frorn Edmonds
Avenue NE. There is no sidewalk or trail up to the building that is dedicated for pedestrian use. There is a
secondary fire access point on the southeast side of the lot. Due to the limited number of visitors at any given
time, there are no major impacts to traffic patterns.
Staff would recommend as a condition of approval that the applicant provide a clear pedestrian connection from
the parking lot to the front door. This can be in the form of a covered walkway, surface delineation (i.e., stripes
on the pavement), or a sidewalk. The applicant should submit a brief pedestrian walkway plan to the
Development Services project manager prior to the issuance of any building permits (interior).
7. Noise, Glare: Potential noise, light and glare impacts shall be evaluated based on the location of the proposed
use on the lot and the location of on -site parking areas, outdoor recreation areas and refuse storage areas. (Ord.
1-11-1982)
Onsite lighting consists of building and sign illumination. Because no additional or replacement of light fixtures
are proposed, there will be no new noise or glare impacts. No long term noise or glare impacts would result from
the addition of meditation classes and short-term boarding.
8. Landscaping: Landscaping shall be provided in all areas not occupied by buildings or paving. The Hearing
Examiner may require additional landscaping to buffer adjacent properties from potentially adverse effects of
the proposed use. (Ord. 3599, 1-11-1982)
Landscaping exists onsite in the form of rhododendrons, shrubs and some conifers. As a condition of approval
staff would recommend increasing the landscaping around the property lines that abut residential lots, in order to
provide additional screening for the current single-family homes abutting the subject site to the East and South,
Staff recommends that the applicant submit a landscaping plan to the Development Services project manager
indicating an increased landscape screen along any shared property line with a residential lot. The screen should
consist of trees, shrubs and groundcover, and should be a minimum of 5 feet in width. The landscape plan would
need to be approved by City staff prior to the issuance of any building permits (interior).
9. Accessory Uses: Accessory uses to conditional uses such as day schools, auditoriums used far social and sport
activities, health centers, convents, preschool facilities, convalescent homes and others of a similar nature shall
be considered to be separate uses and shall be subject to the provisions of the use district in which they are
located
Although the proposed project is complimentary to the existing Healing Arts Center (designated as a medical
institution), it is not considered an accessory use because it is a fundamentally different concept. It is worth
noting that although the Hwazan Buddhist Foundation is a non-profit organization, that label is an indication of
the organization's tax status rather than a provision for determining land use.
10. Conversion: No existing building or structure shall be converted to a conditional use unless such building or
structure complies or is brought into compliance, with the provisions of this Chapter (Chapter 9 — Procedures).
The structure is required to comply with all applicable building and fire codes.
11. Public Improvements: Theproposed use and location shall be adequately served by and not impose an undue
burden on any public improvements, facilities, utilities and services. Approval of a conditional use permit may
be conditioned upon the provision andlor guarantee by the applicant of necessary public improvements,
facilities, utilities andlor services. (Ord 3599, 1-11-1982)

PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTIONIBACKGROUND
The site is located at the NE corner of Lake Avenue S. and S. 2nd Street, addressed as 200 S. 2nd Street. The
site is composed of two parcels approximately 46,698 square feet in area. An existing one-story structure of
approximately 5,320 square feet is to remain on the site. The applicant proposes an addition to the structure of
974 square feet and to resurface existing paved area for parking. The remainder of the site is proposed to be
cleared of underbrush and be seeded as lawn area which the applicant plans to reserve for future expansion
of the use.
Access to the site is proposed from two existing curb cuts, the first entrance is ingress/egress from S, 01
Street, which is a one way Public Street heading west and the second ingress/egress entrance is off Lake
Avenue S. The applicant proposes to add a 2-foot strip of pavement along the existing pavement to widen the
drive aisle from S. 2nd Street. The impervious area of approximately 26,815.21 square feet is to be resurfaced
and striped for 42 parking spaces_ The applicant is seeking a Parking Modification to exceed the number of
required parking spaces of 34 spaces. The project proposes street frontage and parking lot landscaping. The
site has an existing 4-foot chain link fence that runs along the north and east property lines adjoining the
recreation field of Renton High School.
Because the proposed medical office/clinic is a change of use from the previous occupant as a children's
daycare, the project requires Environmental Review (SEPA) and Administrative Site Plan Review. The total
building lot coverage of the project would be 14.4%- The applicant anticipates project construction to
commence in the summer of 2004.
The proposed project received environmental (SE.PA) review and approval July 12, 2004 with the appeal
period ending July 26, 2004; no appeals of the decision were filed_ However, due to several site plan
concerns, the applicant was asked to revise the proposed site and landscape plans to resolve code issues,
which included on site traffic flow, landscaping and building elevations of addition. The applicant submitted on
July 15, 2004 a revised site plan and landscaping plan as reflected in this report.

C. Consistency with Site Plan Criteria
In reviewing the proposal, with respect to the Site Plan Approval Criteria set forth in Section 4-9-200 of the Site
Plan Ordinance, the following issues have been identified by City Departmental Reviewers and Divisional
Re viewers:
1. Conformance with the comprehensive plan, its elements and policies;
Comprehensive Plan, Its Elements and Policies
The subject site is designated . Employment Area - Commercial (EAC) on the City's
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map and zoned CA (Commercial Arterial). The EAC

designation is intended to provide for commercial uses requiring large amounts of land and/or
high visibility and access to large volumes of automobile traffic in areas outside of Centers and
the Center Downtown designations. The proposed medical. clinic use is consistent with the
following EAC policy:
Policy LU-174: Parking areas should be landscaped (including street trees, buffers,
berms), especially along the roadways, to reduce the visual impacts.
The applicant has provided the required 5% landscaping. for parking lots 10,000 square
feet or greater.
As proposed, the site layout and the proposed use generally comply with the policies and the intent of the
Comprehensive Plan.
2. Conformance with existing land use regulations;
The site is located within the Commercial Arterial (CA) zoning designation. The purpose of the CA zone is to
provide suitable environments for auto -oriented commercial development. The CA zone provides for a wide
variety of indoor and outdoor retail sales and services along high -volume traffic corridors.
The applicant plans to expand an existing 5,320 square foot one-story structure by 974 square feet for a total
square footage of 6,294, which would be utilized as a medical officelclinic, In general, the proposal is
consistent with the range of uses permitted in the CA zoning designation.
Lot Coverage - The CA zone allows a maximum building coverage of 65% of total lot area or 15% if parking is
provided within the building or within an on -site parking structure. The proposed building would generate a
building lot coverage of 13.5% (6,294 building footprint / 46,698 lot area = 13.5%, which is below the maximum
allowed.
Setbacks — The CA zone requires a minimum front yard setback of 10 feet and no maximum required_ The
minimum side yard setback along a street in also 10 feet. Both the front and side along a street setback may
be reduced to zero through the site plan review process provided blank walls are not located within the
reduced setback_ No minimum rear or side yard setback is required unless abutting or adjacent to a residential
zone. The Renton High School athletic field which is zoned CD-P (Center Downtown -Public) is located on the
north and east property boundaries of the subject site. The existing structure has a front yard setback of 63"
which does not meet the current requirement; however the building exceeds the side yard setback with 107'
along the east boundary. The proposed addition is off the rear of the structure and does not impact the non-
conforming front setback.
Landscaping — The minimum on -site landscape width required along the street frontages is 10 feet, except
where reduced through the site plan review process. The applicant's proposal shows a 10-foot wide landscape
buffer along the southern (S. 2"d Street) and western (Lake Avenue S.) property boundaries with an 18-inch
high grass berm at a slope of 4:1.
The landscaping proposed along S_ 2"d Street and Lake Avenue S. would consist of a grass berm and nine
deciduous shade trees (Thundercloud Plum). On the east property line, along the eastside of the building, the
landscape plan shows ten Vine Maple trees with Dwarf Periwinkle. Plantings along the front facade are a
combination of existing and new shrubs and groundcover. As proposed, staff anticipates the landscape
palette to provide sufficient landscaping along the street frontage.
Landscaping is proposed in and along the parking area in order to meet the 5 percent planting requirement
and to help mitigate the barren appearance of the parking area. The proposed landscaping will include six
Eastern Redbud trees planted adjacent to the parking area and drive aisle and four additional trees in 36-inch
concrete planters placed in the rear parking lot island.
The portion of the site to be left undeveloped at this time will be cleared of underbrush and debris, the existing
cottonwood and locust trees will be removed, and the site will be hydroseeded. In order to ensure the
vegetation is removed in a timely manner, staff recommends that the applicant be responsible for making
these improvements prior to the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy.
All landscape areas are required to include an underground irrigation system.
Height -- The CA zone allows a maximum building height of 50 feet. For this project, the applicant's proposal
is for a one-story building that would be less than 20 feet in height above finished grade. The site falls within
the Safety Zone area of the Renton Municipal Airport_ The Building Height Restriction map shows this site to
SA -A RPT
City of Renton P/B/PW Department Administrative Site Plan Approval Staff Report

REPORT JULY 29, 2004 Page 4 of 8
fall within the approach zone at a height of 82 to 107 feet with a site elevation range of 30 to 31.6 feet. Thus
the building height limit has a range of 52 to 75.5 feet.
Pedestrian Access — A pedestrian connection is required to be provided from the public entrance of the.
building to the street frontages. The site plan includes adequate pedestrian access from the building entrance
to S. Od Street. The site plan provides a marked crosswalk from the building entrance to the parking spaces to
the west. The applicant also provides clear pedestrian access to the north parking area by use of a crosswalk
from the building entrance across the drive aisle.
Parkin-g/Circulation — The parking regulations require a minimum of one parking space per 200 square feet of
medical office area. The 6,294 square feet medical office building requires of 34 parking stalls (6,294/200 =
33.5). The applicant has proposed to provide 42 parking spaces, which 28 are designed to be standard stalls
(9' x 20'), 12 compact stalls (8.5' x 16') and two ADA accessible stalls. Compact spaces are not allowed to
exceed 30% of the required spaces and must be marked .The applicant has requested parking modification to.
provide 42 parking spaces where the parking code requires 34 (0.5 per 100 sq ft of gross floor area) based on
the proposed square footage of the use (RMC4-4-080F10e):
The proposed site is 46,698 sq ft in area with an existing building of 5,320 sq ft and a proposed addition of 974
sq ft_ The existing paved area, which requires resurfacing and striping covers approximately 17,279 aq ft. A
two -foot wide strip of new pavement will be added along the drive aisle from S 2"d Street in order to meet the
required 24-foot width. The applicant proposes with the current layout 24-foot drive aisles and 42 parking
spaces, 12 designated as compact spaces, 2 accessible spaces_ The compact spaces meet the code
requirement of no more than 30% of parking provided_
As proposed the 8 additional parking spaces would not increase the existing impervious area for parking.
According to the Institute Traffic Engineer (ITE) the proposed use will not intensify the on -site parking
conditions or increase traffic count from the previous use.
The parking modification requested as part of the revised site plans submitted July 15, 2004 has been
evaluated in relation to the approved site plan. Based on this analysis, Development Services Division has
determined that the proposed increase from 34 to 42 parking spaces is within the parameters defined by
Renton Municipal Code and is therefore recommended for approval.
The parking would be accessed from a S. 2"d Street and Lake Avenue S for ingress and egress entrances.
The existing curb cut on S. 2nd Street exceeds the maximum code width and must be reduced to a maximum
of a 30-foot wide access prior to the issuance of the building permit.
An aisle width of 24 feet is required for 90 degree parking. stalls, 20 feet is required for 60 degree parking stalls
and 12 feet is required for 45 degree parking stalls. Stall lengths may also be reduced by 2 feet provided there
is sufficient area to safely allow the overhang of a vehicle without protruding into required landscape areas.
The project would .comply with the requirements for minimum stall and aisle dimensions, the amount of ADA
and compact parking stalls, and one loading space specified by the Parking Regulations.
3. Mitigation of impacts to surrounding properties and uses;
The subject site. is currently developed with a one-story brick structure, paved area for parking, a playground
and a 4-foot chain link fence along the north, east and part of the south property lines. A portion of the site is to
be left vacant for future expansion. A 974 square foot, one story addition to the rear of.the existing building is
proposed and removal of the playground to resurface and re -strip pavement for parking. The mechanical
equipment is currently located on the roof of the existing building and is visible from street level. All the
mechanical equipment will be relocated to the roof of the new addition, which the roofline has been designed
to shield the mechanical equipment from street level view. The elevations of the addition have tied in features
from the existing brick building to help integrate the new with the old.
Upon project completion the site would be utilized as a medical office/clinic facility. The site abuts the athletic
field of Renton High School to the north and east. Across S. 2nd Street to the south is commercial retail and to
the west across Lake Avenue S. is office use.
The applicant has proposed a 10-foot wide landscaping strip around the street frontages (S. 2"d Street and
Lake Avenue S.) of the property and landscaping along the front and eastern side of the building. The
landscaping includes several varieties of trees, shrubs and groundcover as well as aIgrass berm.

4. Mitigation of impacts of the proposed site plan to the site;
The proposal is a redevelopment of an existing site therefore is somewhat constrained for site improvements.
Additionally, the applicant wishes to utilize the site while meeting minimal improvements with plans for further
development and site improvements in a future phase. The change of use from a daycare to medical
office/clinic requires the applicant to meet site plan review and SEPA requirements.
The site has adequate pedestrian access to the building both to and from public right of way and the on -site
parking area. The site circulation and parking lot layout is again adequate working within the constraints of the
existing paved surface. The applicant will be adding a 2-foot wide strip of pavement to extend the drive aisle to
S_ 2"d Street. The building placement is in the southeast corner of the lot, providing good street visibility. to S.
2"d Street. The rear addition to the structure proposes a change in the roofline. The replacement of any roof
top mechanical equipment must meet the current code requirements for screening (RMC 4-4-095E).
Staff does not expect the proposal to adversely impact the site_ Because the structure is currently vacant,and r
the site is overgrown, improvements required as part of the site plan approval and SEPA review will enhance
the site. There are no known significant natural features within the project site, which would be impacted by
the development. All construction activities would be required to utilize best management practices ,and
adhere to the mitigation measures contained within the environmental SEPA review report, which would
reduce potential construction impacts to the site.
Conservation of area wide property values;
The proposal would allow for the redevelopment of an existing commercial site along a gateway to the City
Center. The applicant has proposed to renovate the existing one-story structure with a 974 square foot
addition, totaling 6,294 square feet for use as a medical facility.
The site has potential for future development and additional site improvements. The applicant proposes future
plans for a 10,000 square foot addition with parking and landscape improvements, which will require separate
City of Renton review and approvals.
Safety and efficiency of vehicle and pedestrian circulation;
The applicant has proposed to serve the site via two ingress/egress driveways with access off of S. 2°d Street
and Lake Avenue S. Entering the site from S. 2Rd Street, the existing curb cut will be reduced to minimum of
30-foot width. Sidewalk improvements will be installed in this area. A pedestrian crosswalk is provided from
this parking area to the building entrance. The two-way access off Lake.Avenue S. is 24-feet wide lane at an
existing curb cut. The applicant has provided a minimum of 24-foot wide drive aisles for the 90 degree angled
spaces, which allow vehicles to maneuver throughout the site to their desired parking stall. A pedestrian
connection from the northern parking area to the building entrance has been shown on the site plan_
The applicant has also designed the traffic flow and parking stall locations in such a manner that would
minimize any potential dangerous situations with customers exiting their vehicles. This has been
accomplished by providing ample parking near the building entrance. Pedestrians entering from S. 2nd Street
have direct access to the building without having to enter into the parking areas.
7_ Provision of adequate light and air;
Staff does not anticipate the blockage of light and/or air to the subject site or to the surrounding properties.
The existing building layout provides adequate vehicular maneuverability, as the site is not fully developed
leaving large open spaces within the site, which also promotes air and light circulation. The building is one-
story and approximately 20 feet in height. As the building is proposed to be limited in height, staff does not
expect the structures to cast significant shadows or block normal airflow within the site or on neighboring
properties_
To provide external lighting to the building and adjacent parking, the applicant has proposed four wall mounted
light fixtures, two on the west side of the building and two on the north side of the new addition for the rear
parking area, Additionally, an existing streetlight is located at the entrance of the site on S. 2"d Street. The
proposed exterior lighting should not cause any spillover and staff anticipates the proposed building and
landscaping areas to provide an adequate buffer to the neighboring properties. However, as part of the
building permit review process, staff is recommending as a condition of site plan approval that the applicant be
required to submit a lighting illumination plan to demonstrate that adequate lighting,is provided for the parking
area and building. in addition, the plan will need to demonstrate that the parking/security lighting will not spill
into the public street or neighboring properties as a result of this proposal.

8. Mitigation of noise, odors and other harmful or unhealthy conditions;
The proposal is not expected to create any harmful or unhealthy conditions. As proposed, staff does not
expect the medical office/clinic use to create significant noise and odor impacts above existing conditions
within this commercial area of the City. Lastly, noise, dust and odor, which may result from the temporary
construction of the site, would be mitigated by the applicant's construction mitigation plan and all project
related conditions.
Upon project completion, the applicant has proposed to locate a fully enclosed dumpster area near the
northeast corner of the building. As proposed, staff does not expect to the dumpster to create any harmful or
unhealthy conditions.
9. Availability of public services and facilities to accommodate the proposed use; and
The subject site is adequately served by public services and facilities_ The proposal would not require the
extension of services or further improvements, provided all conditions of approval are met, advisory notes are
adhered to and all fees paid.
10. Prevention of neighborhood deterioration and blight.
As noted above, the site is currently vacant and overgrown_ While the existing structure appears to be secure,
the lot has evidence of vagrants. Redevelopment of the site will remove conditions encouraging loitering. The
site abuts the Renton High School athletic field. Staff expects the redevelopment of the site, including a new
addition to the building, ample on -site parking and cohesive landscaping to be a benefit to the community and
the existing neighborhood. Therefore, no deterioration or blight is expected to occur as a result of this
proposal.

Based on further consideration and internal discussions, I will be drafting a Code Interpretation that allows for Service

or medical and dental office uses are allowed as a Permitted Use. The Code Interpretation will be posted on the City's .
website for public comment for 14 days (when drafted). If comments are received that require the determination to be
revised, then another comment period would occur. Once finalized, the Interpretation will be subject to a 14-day appeal

Hello Iwen & Ken,
First, I apologize for taking so long to respond to your question. And thank you for asking Jennifer Davis Hayes
to check -in with me.
We understand that Valley Cities is considering purchase of The Allied Building at 221 Wells Ave South is zoned
Center Downtown (CD).
The CD Zone allows Service and Social Organizations with a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit in the CD
Zone. Here is the definition:
SERVICE AND SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS: An incorporated or unincorporated nongovernmental or private
association of persons organized for social, education, literary or charitable purposes. This definition also
includes community meeting halls, philanthropic institutions, private clubs, fraternal or nonprofit
organizations, and social service organizations. This definition excludes religious institutions and offices, and
government facilities.
While the operation is similar to a medical office, the use is actually considered to be service organization, and
therefore, would require a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit.
Please contact me or Laureen Nicolay if you have further questions or would like to meet to discuss the
proposal at this location.

Hi Ken and Jennifer, I think the confusion came from a conversation Jennifer Davis Hayes that she thought the nature of
the use may require a conditional use permit. And at the time, she was looking into city's codes to see what exactly the
codes require and said she will email the info to Ken (or maybe Scott.) That is the extent of our conversation and my

Hi Jennifer, I just left you a voice mail with the same question. Valley Cities is interested in purchasing the
Allied Building on Wells Street in Renton, my broker, Scott Rice spoke to a planner at the desk who informed
hiin we don't need a conditional use permit. However one of my Board members, Iwen Wang, believes Scott's
information is not correct. Valley Cities provides outpatient mental health and chemical dependency services
primarily to low income people throughout King County. We own two buildings, one in Kent and another in
Auburn.. We currently lease buildings in Renton on Powell Street, in Federal Way and in South Seattle. All of
our sites are open from $:30 AM till about 5:00 PM Monday through Friday. There are no residential services in
any of our office buildings. We provide individual and group treatment, evaluate and prescribe medications and
soon expect to have Primary Care Providers from Health Point seeing patients in each of our locations. Please
advise me on our next step? Thanks.

Hi Jerry,
When this comes in (it is a TI for 221 Wells) it is being treated as a medical office building, in terms of land use. I've
drafted an Code Interpretation that is nearly finished, which essentially says that a medical office is a medical office, and
an office is an office, and not a social service agency, if they by all appearances they function in the same way as an
office or medical office.

Hi Jennifer I wanted to let you know that we have submitted our request for building permits for the remodel. at
221 Wells. Our tenant Allied has already acquired their permits and is well on their way toward completing the
remodel of the second. floor. After we receive the permits we plan to begin our remodel around 1 July and hope
to be completed by 30 September. I hope you have had time to complete the work on the interpretation and
things can progress as I outlined? Thanks so much for your help. Valley Cities will be a good member of the
downtown Renton community.

Hello Ken,
Congratulations on the purchase of the building! I have a start on the interpretation, and should be able to complete it
by Monday, I do apologize, and have had this interpretation on my white board list as the top item for more than a
month. We have had several staff out for various reasons, and my new plan is to work on getting it completed
tomorrow and ready for review on Friday, so that it can be posted to the website on Monday for review. Submitting
building permits next month should work with the timing of the comment and appeal periods (14 days each) for the

hold that the Evergreen Treatment Services Facility is a permitted use.at its proposed location.
1 learned quite a bit of informatio.n'at the hearing before the Hearing:Examiner that has led me
to this conclusion. I also believe that many of the City's concerns can be answered by the State
certification -process and through Evergreen's. development of the required Community

Yes, though, if for City Hall Council Chambers, then we would need to schedule and have our IT Dept. set it up in

Mr. Olbrechts,
Mr. Warren and I exchanged emails in an attempt to agree on discovery that would eliminate the need for your
intervention. Mr. Warren agreed to my sending the city a set of Interrogatories and Requests for Production, which I
will do. However, Mr. Warren and I were unable to agree on my deposing one representative of the planning
department. I just received an "out of office" reply from Mr. Warren indicating that he is not back until 5/12.
I would propose that you schedule the prehearing conference as you suggested for May 14, 2014 at 9:00 to discuss our
request to depose one representative of the planning department.
Thank you.

We would like to send the City a set of interrogatories and request for production related to the Code Interpretation on
appeal. We would provide 30 days for the City to respond. We would then like to depose one representative from the
Planning Department prior to the schedule hearing. If there is no objection from the City to this proposed discovery we
can proceed in this manner.
If there is an objection from the City, I would suggest you try to set a quick timeframe for an email exchange for the City
to offer its objections by email and for me to respond, then have the Examiner issue an order. Otherwise, 5/14 at 9 am
works for me, but the response time for the discovery may need to be less than 30 days.

UNCLASSIFIED USE EVERGREEN APPEAL
TREATMENT SERVICES OPIOID
DEPENDENCE TREATMENT FACILITY
f mil► I"1. 11-0001 corili
Appellant Evergreen Treatment Services ("ETS") requests that the Hearing
Examiner reverse the City of Renton Department of Community and Economic
Development's (the "City") administrative code interpretation dated April 1, 2014 entitled
"Administrative Interpretation of Unclassified Use Evergreen Treatment Services Opioid
Dependence Treatment Facility" (the "Interpretation") (attached as "Exhibit A").
Contrary to the Interpretation, the facility proposed by ETS is a "medical office" use
permitted outright in the Commercial Arterial (CA) Zone. The City's Interpretation is
inconsistent with the Renton Municipal Code and the standard rules of legislative
interpretation. The City has intentionally disregarded the clear provisions of the Renton
Municipal Code and has issued its Interpretation in order to improperly impede this lawful
permitted use.

I I 1 11 rr 11 305 l Di. KITE TIT1 `!
ETS is a state and federally licensed provider that operates medication -assisted
outpatient treatment clinics for adults with opioid dependence. The medical services
offered by ETS are the most effective and evidence -based approach to treating opiate
addiction. Opioid treatment programs significantly lower illicit opiate drug use, reduce
illness and health problems from drug use, reduce crime, and enhance social productivity.
At an ETS clinic, patients are examined, diagnosed, and treated by medical
professionals for the federally recognized medical disease of opioid dependence. The
medical services provided in an ETS clinic include health assessments, medical diagnoses,
establishment of medical treatment plans, case management, dispensing of medication,
counseling services, and ancillary treatment such as acupuncture.
On November 22, 2013, representatives of ETS and the land owner of the IDC
Medical Building, located at 1412 SW 43'd Street, met with Chip Vincent, the
Administrator of the Department of Community and Economic Development, to discuss
ETS's proposal to establish a medication -assisted treatment clinic for patients with opioid
use disorders in the IDC Medical Building (the "Facility"). Mr. Vincent strongly
discouraged ETS from locating its proposed Facility anywhere in the City of Renton,
indicating that Renton had already allowed one such facility into the City and that the City
did not want any more located in Renton. Mr. Vincent suggested that ETS should find a
location in Kent or another South King County city.
After reviewing the Renton Municipal Code, determining that its proposal met the
definition of a "medical office" use and that medical office uses were permitted outright in
the CA zone where the IDC Medical Building was located, ETS decided that it would
proceed with establishing the Facility in that location. ETS signed a lease and began work
with its architect to submit a Tenant Improvement building permit to the City. In

February 2014, ETS emailed the City to keep it updated of progress on the Facility. In
response, the City sent an email indicating that the City would require a Conditional Use
Permit ("CUP") and full environmental review pursuant to SEPA before the Facility
would be able to obtain any permits or licenses.
On March 20, 2014, counsel for ETS sent an e-mail to the City explaining that a
CUP and SEPA determination were not necessary to move forward with granting a Tenant
Improvement permit for the Facility because the zoning of the area in which the IDC
Medical Building was located allowed medical offices as outright permitted uses. As the
Facility fit squarely within the definition of a medical office, as defined by the Code, a
CUP would not be necessary. Because a prior medical office use had occupied the space
proposed by ETS, the proposed Tenant Improvement permit was categorically exempt
under SEPA.
On March 31, 2014, the Mayor of Renton sent a letter to ETS stating that ETS
would need to apply for a CUP and wait for a response. Subsequently, the City issued the
formal Interpretation. The Interpretation asserts that the Facility is a chemical dependency
treatment facility, that chemical dependency treatment facilities are an unclassified use,
and that such a use is categorized as a "Healthcare Service" which would require a CUP to
locate in the IDC Medical Building.
ETS filed this appeal as provided under RMC 4-8-110.
III. ARGUMENT
A. The Facility Does Not Require a CUP by a Hearing Examiner.
The IDC Medical Building is located within the CA zoning district of the City of
Renton. The Renton Municipal Code lists "medical and dental offices" as an outright
permitted use in the CA zoning district. RMC 4-2-060. A medical and dental office is
defined as "[a]ny office used by physicians, dentists, and/or other medical professionals to

examine, diagnose, and treat patients, and to administer day-to-day accessory office
II functions relating to the medical or dental practice." RMC 4-11-150. A medical/dental
I! office does not require a CUP to be able to move forward with development.
1. The Facility is a Medical Office, an Outright Permitted Use in the CA
Zoning District.
The Facility is a medication -assisted outpatient treatment clinic for patients with
opioid use disorders. The process for accepting, diagnosing, and treating patients, as
described in more detail below, demonstrates that this use fits squarely within the
definition of a medical/dental office.
Every new potential patient to be seen at the clinic is first evaluated by a licensed
Chemical Dependency Professional. Upon completion of this examination, the patient
meets with a medical provider who diagnoses the patient to confirm the disease of opiate
use disorder and to assess other medical concomitant conditions. Subsequently, the
patient is provided methadone or another medication as treatment for their condition.
Throughout the duration of this medical treatment, the patient is assigned a
medical provider and a Chemical Dependency Professional certified counselor. The
medical provider monitors the administered treatment to ensure it is appropriate and safe,
and coordinates with any other medical care givers that the patient may have. All of the
treatment is provided on an outpatient only basis. The patient is required to attend at least
weekly counseling sessions at the Facility. Both professionals monitor progress of the
treatment and modify the treatment plan as necessary. Patients may be discharged if they
successfully complete a treatment plan, move to another clinic or area, fail to observe the
treatment protocols, violate the Patient Code of Conduct, or fail to pay their bill.
The Facility operates essentially in the same way in which a medical office is run.
A medical professional conducts preliminary assessments to determine the patient's

diagnosis, prescribes a particular treatment, monitors that treatment to ensure the patient's
safety and progress, and offers ongoing and related care. If and when treatment has been
completed, and the patient no longer needs medical services, the patient may be
discharged.
The Facility fits within the definition of a medical office and should be permitted
as an outright permitted use.
2. Even if Unclassified, the Facility is Most Similar to a "Medical and
Dental Offices" Use, Not a "Healthcare Services" Use.
In the alternative, even if the Hearing Examiner finds that the Facility does not fit
within the definition of the outright permitted use of a medical/dental office, and finds that
the Facility is an unclassified use, the Facility is most similar to a medical office, not a
"Healthcare Service" and, as such, should be permitted outright.
The Code provides that uses that are not within a list of permitted, conditionally
permitted, or accessory uses, but similar to a listed use, are "unclassified uses." RMC 4-2-
050.A. The Development Services Division Director may make an administrative
interpretation to determine whether the proposed use that is not specifically listed is
allowed in a specific zoning district. To allow an unclassified proposed use, the Director
must determine that the use is "i. In keeping with the purpose and intent of the zone, and
consistent with the Renton Comprehensive Plan policies; and ii. Similar in nature to, and
no more intense than, a specifically listed permitted, conditional or accessory use..."
RMC 4-2-050.C.6.
Without any justification, the Interpretation concludes that the Facility should be
categorized on the Zoning Use Table as a "Healthcare Service" and that it would require a
CUP to locate in the CA Zone. The facts do not support this decision.

The Interpretation fails to provide any analysis on why the Facility is not similar to
a "medical and dental offices" use. There are numerous types of medical office uses that
have been permitted outright by the City as "medical and dental offices" uses that are
similar to the proposed Facility. Likewise, there are several errors in the City issuing an
Interpretation that decides that the Facility is similar to a "Healthcare Service."
i. The City's Comparison to "Healthcare Service" is Unsupported
by the Cited Factors.
The factors cited in the Interpretation likening the proposed Facility to a
"Healthcare Service" have little relevance. The origin of the clientele has no relevance to
the categorization of the use. Similarly, the need or desire for a transit line nearby has
nothing to do with the use proposed inside the IDC Medical Building. Likewise, the
desire by a tenant or building owner to provide security or to locate a clinic entrance on
the first floor do not address the use proposed inside the building or why the Facility is
similar to a "Healthcare Service."
ii. "Healthcare Services" is a Category, Not a Use.
Additionally, there is no zoning "use" in the Renton Municipal Code called
"Healthcare Services." The Zoning Use Table referred by the City lists a variety of
specific uses that are combined into different labeled categories. These categories are
provided solely for the convenience of the reader. The categories themselves are not uses.
"Medical and dental offices," for example, is a specific type of land use that has
been grouped into a category called "Office and Conference." There is no "use" in the
city called an "Office and Conference." Other specific uses listed within the "Office and
Conference" category include conference centers and veterinary offices/clinics.
"Healthcare Services" is one of the convenient categories presented in the Zoning
Use Table. However, there is no use specified in the Renton Municipal Code called

"Healthcare Services." There are no specific zones in which a "Healthcare Services" use
is permitted, permitted by conditional use, or prohibited. Instead, the uses listed under the
category "Healthcare Services" are the uses that the City should have examined. The
determination by the City that the Facility is a "Healthcare Service" and is required to get
a CUP is entirely unsupported by the Renton Municipal Code.
iii. Neither of the Uses in the "Healthcare Service" Category are
Similar to the Facility.
Even if the City intended to state, in its Interpretation, that it had decided that the
Facility was similar to the two uses specified under "Healthcare Services," that
Interpretation would also be erroneous. The two uses listed under the "Healthcare
Services" category are medical institutions and convalescent centers. The Facility is
clearly neither a convalescent center nor a medical institution.
The Code defines a "convalescent center" as:
A facility licensed by the State for patients who are recovering health and
strength after illness or injury, or receiving long-term care for chronic
conditions, disabilities, or terminal illnesses. Facilities provide twenty-
four (24) hour supervised nursing care and feature extended treatment that
is administered by a skilled nursing staff. Typically, residents do not live
in individual units and the facilities provide personal care, room, board,
laundry service, and organized activities. This definition does not include
adult family homes, assisted living, group homes II, medical institutions,
and/or secure community transition facilities.
RMC 4-11-030. The Facility provides outpatient medical services. It does not provide
long-term 24 hour care by a skilled nursing staff.
"Medical institutions" are defined by the Code as:
Facilities providing physical or mental health services, in -patient
accommodations, and medical or surgical care of the sick or injured.
Medical institutions are allowed one helipad as an accessory use, if
functionally and architecturally integrated into the primary use, regardless
of the treatment of helipads in the underlying zoning. This definition

includes hospitals, clinics, hospices, holistic health centers, and nursing
homes as defined in Group 1-2 of the IFC. This definition excludes
medical and dental offices, convalescent centers, assisted living, and group
homes I and II.
RMC 4-11-130. By definition, medical institutions provide "in -patient
accommodations." Again, the Facility provides only out -patient medical services
and is clearly excluded from the definition of medical institution.
Notably, the definition of "medical institution" specifically excludes
"medical and dental offices" which, as noted above, are defined as a facility "used
by physicians, dentists, and/or other medical professionals to examine, diagnose,
and treat patients..." RMC 4-11-150. Reading the definition of "medical
institution" and the exclusion of "medical and dental offices" should have led the
City to conclude that the Facility fit squarely within the "medical and dental
offices" definition or, in the alternative, is unclassified, but most similar to a
"medical and dental office" use. Either way, the City had no basis to conclude
that the Facility was similar to a "medical institution."
IV. CONCLUSION
Based on the foregoing and the evidence to be presented at hearing, Appellant
requests that the Hearing Examiner reverse the City's Interpretation and find that the
Facility is a permitted use in the CA zoning district and that no CUP is required.

SU.BJECTc.. Administrative Interpretation of. Unclassified Use
Evergreen .Treatment Services Opiioid Dependence t atmeni Fadl.ity
Dear. Mr. Carson:
This letter responds to your email of March; 20th regarding Evergreen Treatment Services
(ETS) proposal to occupy space within an existing medical office building located at 1412
SW 43rd Street in Renton. )n your email,; you. request that the City immediately
cooperate to process a tenant improvement permit for Evergreen 7Treatmeint Services.
and cease any further demands.that ETS seek a Conditional Use Permit or undergo SEPA
environmental review. Your request states that the existing building is a medical office
building; that ETS qualifies as -a medical, office, and should be, permitted without further
review.
We respectfully disagree with this. perspectiveand opinion. The City has, met and
corresponded with Molly Carney, -Executive' Director of ETS since early October 2013,
and, has consistently stated that chemical dependency treatment-facilities'are an.
Unclassified use that ►would require certain land use.permits and SERA review 6etore_the
use could -be allowed in the Commercial Arterial. (CA)Zone'. The -CA Zone does not
apecifieally permit or.prohibit chemical dependency facilities. Therefore, the chemical
dependency use is determined to be ",Uricla.ssifed":
RMC4-2-A50A defines:an'Unclassified -Use as - "A use which does not appear in a list of
permitted, conditionally` permitted, or accessory uses, but which is interpreted by the
Development' Services Division.Virector'as:'sirhilar to a -listed permitted, conditionally
permitted or accessary use, and not otherwise prohibited, pursuant to.RMC 4-2-05006;
Unclassified.Uses.,, .
RMC4-2-0.5.006 Unclassified Uses states: "Upon inquiry by on. applicant,an
administrative interpretation shall be made by the Development Services Division
Director to determine if a proposed use not specifically listed is allowed utilizing the
Renton City Hall . 1055 South Grady Way • Renton, Washington 98057 .` rentonwa.gov
Brent Carson
Aprif 1, 2014
criteria in subsection C6a of this Section. Should interpretation be made that a proposed,
unlisted use not be allowed in a specific zoning district, the Director shall indicate which
zones, if any, do permit the use. if the Development: Services Division Director's
interpretation indicates that an unlisted use is not consistent. .with the permitted,
conditional or accessory uses in any district, or if a party does not concur with the permit
type applied to a use, appeal may be made -pursuant to RMC 4-R-110. Interpretations
made by the Development Services Division Director shall be documented, and updates
to Title.4, when consistent with the title format and level of detail, shall incorporate
."unclassified use" interpretations upon -approval by the legislative authority.
a. Criteria for Unclassified Uses: In .order to 'Make a determination that an
unclassified use is permitted, conditionally permitted or accessory, the .
Development Services Division Director must find that the use is:
i. in keeping with the purpose and intent of the zone, and consistent with the
Rehton. Comprehensive Flan policies; and
ii. Similar in nature to; and'no more intense than, a specifically listed
permitted, conditional or accessory'use; and
ili. Consistent with. subsection C4 of this Section, if determined, to be -
permissible as an accessory use." .
Analysis: Per Criterion `i' above, the CA Zone is intended to evolve from 'strip
commercial' linear business districts to business areas characterized by enhanced site
planningland pedestrian orientation. The CA Zone provides for a wide variety of. retail
sales, services, and other cornmercia[ activities along high -volume traffic. corridors.
Other healthcare'services are permitted in the CA Zone, subject to.either an
administrative or Hearing Fxaminer conditional use permit.
The City's Compreheosive.Plan land'use policies do not specifically address chemical
dependency uses, but does contain Human Services policies thatprovide'for.
rehabilitation and support services such as drug and alcohol treatment,
Per Criterion 'ii' above, a proposed unclassified Use may be similar in nature to other
healthcare service uses and some social service organizations, or may be more
intensive. The City understands that the ETS chemical dependency facility would serve
clients from the south King County.area; with, approximately 200 clients per day. .
between the time the clinic opens and, noon: In addition this facility mould require a
certain level of security, a first floor. entrance, and would need to be located near bus
,line or transit. This use should be reviewed to consider conditions. specific to its
operation in a given location.• -

HISTORY and PHILOSOPHY SERVICES GETTING STARTED
Evergreen Treatment Services is a private,
nonprofit community -based organization which
has been delivering chemical dependency
treatment services since 1973. ETS is licensed
to provide medication assisted treatment using
methadone and other FDA approved
medications for the treatment of adults with
opioid dependence. ETS has a clinic in Seattle
and a clinic in Olympia.
In our two locations, ETS contracts with
county Divisions of Alcoholism and Substance
Abuse services to provide treatment and
rehabilitative services to medically indigent
adults. We also offer services to patients
supported by third party insurance and to the
King County Drug Court. ETS offers
acupuncture, case management, and individual
and group counseling.
The Board of Directors and staff of ETS
recognize that substance abuse and
dependency problems are a chronic relapsing
disorder that are caused by a complex
interaction of biological, emotional/behavioral
and social factors. It is therefore the goal of
ETS to offer treatment services that are
customized to individual needs.
ETS employs a multi -disciplinary staff to
provide services that have been demonstrated
by empirical evidence and clinical experience to
be effective in the treatment of addictive
disorders. Because of this, the agency and its
staff are proud to have a history of active
participantion in local and national research
projects focused on improving treatment with
our patient population.

Dear Mr. Covington,
Attached is a letter from the ACLU of Washington concerning Evergreen Treatment Services' proposed Renton -based
medication assisted treatment program for adults with opioid dependence.
Please let me know if you have any follow up questions.
Sincerely,

The Legality of MAT Program Facilities in Washington State
MAT facilities like methadone clinics are regulated by the federal government (21
U.S.C. §823; 42 CFR Part 8) and by Washington state (RCW 70.96A.400 et seq.;
WAC 388-805). Approximately twenty clinics currently operate in Washington.
Federal courts have ruled that clinic participants are legally designated as disabled
and protected by the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, and that local
governments cannot discriminate against clinics. MX Group Inc. v. City of
Covington, 293 F.3d 326, (6" Cir. 2002); Bay Area Addiction Research and
Treatment v. City of Antioch, 179 F.3d 725 (9tb Cir. 1999).
Conclusion
There is an enormous amount of prejudice in society against people who struggle
with opiate related substance abuse problems much of it the result of
misinformation and misrepresentation by the popular media. People seeking to
participate in MAT programs should be encouraged to end their dependence on
dangerous drugs. A publicly funded MAT program facility in the City of Renton
will help to combat the escalating opiate addiction problem in the area. The
ACLU -WA asks that the City of Renton permit Evergreen Treatment Services to
open its proposed facility and not delay issuance of necessary permits to make
opiate substitution treatment available in this community.

Dear Mr. Cooke. .. _
Thank you for your in out concerning the proposed Evergreen Treatment -Services facility. .We'
appreciate the input'of our citizens and our neighbors. Your letter pointed out some Helpful and
informative details.
According to your letter there are.a.pproximately"556indii 16alsfromsouthKingCountyforced
to travel- to .Seattle for treatment-" it is unclear whether this assertion is specifically for .
methadone treatment., on page 4 of your attachment your numbers indicate -that both Auburn
and Kent have 97 "methadone clients" and Sea7ac/Bvrien •has 80. That amounts to 274
- methadone clients in those cities compared 'to Renton's 60 methadone clients. It appears as, -
though Auburn, Kent and SeaTac/Burien have a greater need for a methadone clinic than
Renton.
Renton has at least one facility that provides methadone treatment �- Renton Clinic at 2838 NE
Sunset' Boulevard.' According :to the Opiate Addiction arid. Treatment Resource
-http://ivus+w.opiateaddictionresource:can�Itreatment/methadone clinic directory/wa clir€ics)
and the Opiate Substitution. Treatri,ent. Programs in Washington State Renton has the only
opiate specific treatment facility in south King County. Perhaps the ACLU has more or different
information, but based.on this, the first question is -- why should -Renton have two opiate
specific treatment facilities when Auburn, Kent and SeaTac, which have the majority of
- methadone clients, have none?..
Renton agrees that it may be ."clinically unsound and expensive". to force patients to travel to -
Seattle six days a week for treatment. But if it is clinically unsound and expensive to force
almost 274-methadone clients to travel to Seattle, shouldn't it also be clinically -unsound and
expense to force patients to travel to Renton rather than have one placed in a central location
related to Auburn Kent, SeaTac and Burien? .
We also agree that RCW 70.96A provides guidance in add ressingmethadone/opiate treatment.
As you know, RCW 70.96A.41.0(1)(a) states that the department of social and health services,
when making a decision about the certification of an opiate substitution treatment program
shall 'consult with the city, legislative. authority in.any city in which an applicant proposes to
locate :a program,- RCW 70.96A.410(1)(b).states' .that._the. department of "social and health .
_ services shall only certify"programs that will be sited in,accordance with ih6 appropriate county
or -city land use, ordinances;", and that "cities may require conditional ar spedal_use perrnits.with

reasonable. conditions for the siting of programs." there has not been any Communication of this nature to Renton:
Just to be clear, Evergreen has not provided Renton with. any information showing or.perniittirig
Renton to "consider the size of the population in need of treatment iri the area In which the
program would be -.located and certify only applicants whose programs meet the .necessary
treatment needs of that population."' RCW 70.96A.410-(1)(d). 'Evergreen has not demonstrated
".a [greafer] need in the community for opiate substitution treatrfi6ne and has not certifi"d that
does not. have "more program slots than justified by ,the' need in that community." RCW "
.70.96A.410 (1)(e). Evergreen has not provided.any information related to 'the availability of
other certified programs near the area in which. the applicant proposes to locate the program;"
and has not shown that it has and has not permitted to Renton to "Consider the transportation
.. systems that would provide service to the program and whether the systems will provide
reasonable opportunities to access the program for persons in need .of treatment." RCW
70.96A.410 (1)(f) and (g)..
To this time, Renton has not receivea'an application from Evergreen for any building or land use
permits including:a conditional use permit or special use permit. In. fact, Renton does not have
any information showing_ that Evergreen has .sought- or obtained_ certification- from the
;department of social and health services_ Without. this application Evergreen has not even
begun to comply with Renton's land use ordinances. The result is that there has not been an
opportunity to comply with RCW 70.96A.410 (1)(i) which requires that at least one public
gearing is held in the "county in which -the facility is proposed to be located and one hearing in
the area in Which the.facility is proposed.to be located.
As a result, while we appreciate your interest and your help, before we .can do .anything, the
questions posed above . need to be - answered .and after that, Evergreen need_ s to, fie an -
application as every other person seeking to do business in Renton has to do.

(OTP) EXPANSION
King County
Need for Expansion of Opiate Treatment in King County
There is a need to expand Opiate Treatment Programs in King County. This
expansion is in alignment with the King County Strategic Plan, the Equity and Social
Justice Initiative, and the Recovery Ordinance. The need for expansion is driven by:
• Lack of capacity at current OTP locations
• Poor customer service — There are no OTP services for south county residents
• Excessive Medicaid transportation costs for south King County residents traveling
to downtown Seattle for treatment — equivalent to treating 290 individuals
• Long waitlists for DTP services
• An emerging population of youth and young adults addicted to opiates
• Pending expansion of Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
making more individuals eligible for publically funded services in 2014
What is Opiate Treatment?
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) provided through OTPs provides a person
with chronic opiate dependency with health, social, and rehabilitative services, and
medication (methadone) in order to relieve withdrawal symptoms, reduce opiate
craving, allow normalization of the body's function, and return to a more productive
life. Methadone has three purposes: to keep patients from going into opiate
withdrawal, to reduce craving, and to block the effects of non -prescribed opiates.
Patients taking the correct dose of medication feel normal, not high. The goal of
MAT is to help individuals recover from addiction_ It does NOT replace one
addictive drug with another, rather, it works to shift the person's life away from
addiction. Methadone is a relapse prevention medication and a chronic disease
management tool, much like the medication people with hypertension or diabetes take
to manage their chronic health condition in order to have a healthier and more
productive life.
Opiate Treatment Works
MAT is the most effective and
evidenced based approach to treating
chronic opiate addiction. In its 2000
National Drug Control Strategy, the
Office of National Drug Control Policy
called methadone therapy "one of the
longest -established, most thoroughly
evaluated forms of drug treatment_" A
Consensus Panel convened by the
National Institutes of Health concluded
that, "Methadone treatment significantly
lowers illicit opiate drug use, reduces
illness and death from drug use, reduces
crime, and enhances social
productivity." A report from the
Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute
concluded, "Opioid treatment programs
contribute to significant reduction in
crime, utilization of acute health care
and psychiatric services, and reliance on
public assistance."
WA State DSHS Research and Data
Analysis (RDA) Division has
conducted several studies that show
the positive impact of OTPs. MAT
for Opiate Addiction:
• Lowers health care costs
• Reduces arrests and convictions
• Reduces incidence and
transmission of infectious
disease
• Reduces mortality
• Has high long term retention
rates
MAT has also been found to
improve:
• Physical and mental health
• Social functioning
• Quality of life
• Pregnancy outcomes
• Family stability
• Employment potential

Responsibilities: Federal — State --- County — Provider
The responsibilities to open a new OTP are shared by federal, state and county governments and the provider.
The diagram below identifies key responsibilities of each party.
State County
Common Issues/Concerns
The most common issues associated with siting a new OTP are:
• Stigma associated with addiction and the misperception that methadone is substituting one drug for
another, thus, attracting addicts not interested in recovery to the location.
• "Not in my backyard" community response. To counter this, providers must develop neighbor relations
plans, encourage patients not to loiter in the neighborhood, and provide ongoing community education
about OTPs. In July 2012, we supported the opening of a new OTP clinic in the City of Bellevue. There
was little opposition. There have been no problems reported since opening the Bellevue clinic.
• Land use and zoning questions and/or challenges.
• Recently, MHCADSD responded to complaints about enrollment over capacity and neighborhood
loitering at the two programs located next door to each other in Seattle's First Hill neighborhood.
Relocating clients to the south end clinic, once open, will help alleviate this problem.
Timeline
• Because more than 500 individuals travel daily from south King County to downtown Seattle for
treatment, opening a south King County clinic the first priority in expansion efforts. The expected time to
open the south end clinic is summer 2013.
• The provider will begin securing a south end location Spring 2013.
• Planning for expansion to meet the needs of newly eligible Medicaid clients under the ACA will begin
immediately — including exploring options for expanding capacity at existing clinics.
• Clinics for newly eligible individuals will open the first half of 2014. For clinics opening in 2014, we are
exploring options of co -location with existing health care providers, including options to locate services
within primary care sites such as clinics operated by Public Health.
Recommendations
• Enthusiastically support the expansion of OTP services to south King County. Market it as expanding
health care services to an underserved area with significant need, making for "a better King County"_
• Once a suitable site is identified, contact city officials including the Mayor, Council Members, City
Administrators, Land Use Planners and the Human Service planners to educate and garner support for
expansion of OTP in their community.
• The new clinic should be located in south King County.
• The new clinic location ideally would be on or near a bus line in an area with other health related
services or businesses nearby.
• Once a location is secure for the south end facility, begin the planning process to expand services in
2014 forward to serve those newly eligible under the ACA.

OTP Expansion Supports the King County Strategic Plan
OTP expansion to south King County supports the vision, mission, and goals of the King County Strategic Plan. This
expansion recognizes that treatment is effective, and recovery gives everyone the opportunity to thrive in safe, healthy,
and vibrant communities. Through state, local, and provider collaboration we are responding to an area of King County
with significant unmet need and siting services so that individuals do not need to travel long distances for health services.
OTP expansion specifically supports the following strategic plan goals, objectives, and strategies:
Health and Human Potential —promote opportunities for all communities and individuals to realize their full potential
Objective 1: Increasing the number of healthy years that residents live — strategies:
➢ Initiate, implement and coordinate programs that prevent the leading causes of poor health and premature death,
including injuries and violence
Ensure access to affordable, appropriate and quality physical and behavioral health services
➢ Implement policies and interventions to reduce health disparities
Objective 4: Ensure a network of integrated and effective health and human services is available — strategies:
➢ Facilitate access to programs that reduce or prevent involvement in the criminal justice system
Y Support partnerships to deliver integrated and effective services to those in need
➢ Join with local and regional partners to help stabilize and improves peoples lives
Environmental Sustainability — Safeguard and enhance King County's natural resources and environment.
Objective 4: Minimize King County's operational environmental footprint — strategies:
A Advance policies and programs that simultaneously reduce climate pollution and improve heath
Service Excellence — Establish a culture of customer service and deliver services that are responsive to the community
Objective 4: Increase access to King County Services, personnel, and information — strategies:
➢ Provide information and services that are culturally and linguistically appropriate
Elements of Effective OTPs
Dose —Studies of methadone effectiveness have
shown a dose -response relationship, with higher
doses more effective at reducing cravings and
reducing heroin and other opiate use, helping
patients stay in treatment and reducing criminal
activity.
Length of Treatment — Studies have shown that
good outcomes for OTPs are unequivocally
contingent on adequate length of treatment. A
research -based guide developed by the National
Institute on Drug Abuse (NIA), notes that "For
methadone maintenance, 12 months of treatment is
the minimum, and some opiate -addicted
individuals will continue to benefit from
methadone maintenance treatment over a period of
years."
Individualized Treatment Planning —Addressing
multiple treatment goals, health issues, basic needs,
and psychosocial challenges by a diverse
population that includes older adults with decades
of injection drug use, pregnant women, and a
rapidly expanding group of young adults requires
individualized and flexible treatment programs.
Who is Eligible for Treatment?
To be eligible for publicly funded treatment in
King County, a person must be low-income or on
Medicaid. In addition, patients must be currently
addicted to an opiate drug and have been addicted
at least one year. The Substance Abuse Prevention
and Treatment Block Grant identifies pregnant
injecting drug users, pregnant substance abusers
and injecting drug users as priority populations.
What Services Are Provided?
In addition to physical exams and medical
monitoring by a physician, clinics provide
individual and group counseling, case
management, medications, urinalysis screening,
referral to other health and social services, and
patient monitoring. Additional services such as
acupuncture and self help groups are available at
some locations.
R,,,j,,d5'I4 IJ
South King County Clients in OTPs
556 or I8 percent of current publicly funded methadone clients live in South King County and
must find a way to get to downtown Seattle up to six days each week for treatment. This is
clinically unsound and expensive. In addition to the treatment costs, over $1.6M was spent by
the state to transport King County Medicaid clients to OTP treatment sites in Seattle. These
transportation costs can be reduced drastically by opening a facility in south King County.

OTP Costs and Funding
King County pays OTP providers a daily all inclusive rate of $13.81. MHCADSD spent $9.2 million on OTP
services during calendar year 2012 utilizing local, state, and federal resources. Two-thirds of the funding was
through Medicaid.

Waiting Lists
Through agreements with MHCADSD, Public
Health, and the OTP providers, the Syringe Exchange
Program maintains a single waitlist and provides
case management services to individuals awaiting
treatment. There are currently 200 clients on the
waitlist for OTP services. Demographics of individuals on
the waitlist:
• 32% reside in South King County
• 35% are female
• 72% are homeless or in temp/unstable housing
• 51% are underage 34

MHCADSD currently funds
seven OTP clinics in King
County. Therapeutic Health
Services operates four clinics
including clinics in Shoreline,
Bellevue and two in Seattle.
Evergreen Treatment Services
operates three clinics in Seattle
including a mobile van. OTP
clinic capacity is limited by
statute to 350 individuals but
providers may be granted a
waiver by MHCADSD to serve
higher numbers. Even though
many OTPs have been granted a
waiver, capacity issues remain a
problem. There are currently
2592 publicly funded clients
receiving OTP services in King
County. The numbers served at
each clinic varies based on
location and size of the facility.
The map shows the current
OTP locations and the number
of clients being served at the
individual clinics. It also
identifies the areas of south
King County with the highest
concentration of OTP clients
currently traveling from south
King County to downtown
Seattle for treatment.
Responsibilities: Federal — State — County — Provider
The responsibilities to open a new OTP are shared by federal, state and county governments and
the provider. The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) provides certification and the
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) provides licensure. Once approved by CSAT, DEA, and
the Board of Pharmacy (BP), the state Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR)
documents that there is need in the community, conducts public hearings, assures coordination
with county and city authorities, and provides a license and certification. MHCADSD funds and
monitors the OTP, coordinates communication within the county, provides data to support the
need, and collaborates with all parties to assure success in opening the new clinic. The provider
develops a community relations plan that includes collaboration with the county and city as well
as education for the community. The provider also applies for certification and licensure with
CSAT, DEA, BP, and DBHR. In addition the provider must be accredited by a national
accreditation body and secure the location for the new clinic.

I have been retained by Evergreen Treatment Systems (ETS), a proposed medical office use that has signed a lease with
Oaksdale 1 LLC for space in the IDC medical building at 1412 SW 43rd Street in Renton. I am writing to seek the City's
immediate cooperation to process a tenant improvement permit for ETS and to cease any further demands that ETS
seek a Conditional Use Permit or undergo SEPA review.
The IDC Medical building was reviewed (under your land use, building and SEPA code provisions), permitted and built as
a medical office building. Various types of medical office uses have received tenant improvement permits from the City
to improve their tenant spaces and are located in the IDC Medical building, including eye surgeons, dermatologists,
clinics for treating allergies, medical labs, and others. The specific space leased by ETS was formerly occupied by a
surgical skills training group.
The IDC Medical building is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA). The CA zone lists "Medical and dental offices" as an
outright permitted use in the CA zone. The City defines a "medical office" as any office used by physicians and/or other
medical professionals to examine, diagnose, and treat patients, and to administer day-to-day accessary office functions
relating to the medical practice.
The proposed ETS clinic fits squarely within the definition of a medical office. ETS proposes a medication assisted
treatment clinic for adults with opioid dependence, where medical professionals treat patients. 1 have found no code
provisions that would require ETS to obtain a conditional use permit in order to improve and occupy its leased space in
the IDC medical building.
Likewise, ETS's proposal does not trigger SEPA review. The Washington Department of Ecology rules for categorical
exemptions, adopted by reference by Renton, expressly exempt repair, remodeling, maintenance, or minor aEteration of
existing private or public structures, facilities or equipment, involving no material expansions or changes in use beyond
that previously existing. Because ETS proposes only remodeling and no new construction or material expansion, and
because the prior tenant was also a medical office use, establishing this use and obtaining Tenant Improvement permits
for remodeling the space are categorically exempt. Obtaining a business license is categorically exempt.
From the information we have gathered; we understand that the City would prefer this use to be located in Kent or
Auburn. Nonetheless, your code expressly authorizes this use in this location and the City has already authorized
Oakesdale 1, LLC, the owner of the IDC Medical building, to construct and operate a medical office building in this
location. The ETS lease has been signed and ETS's architects are preparing to submit the TI permit application.
If you disagree with my conclusions I would appreciate your expeditious response with citation to applicable codes.

Hello Molly,
I've attached the Code Section that discusses the Conditional Use Permit process. RMC4-9-030. SEPA is the Washington
State process. Our local process is described in RMC 4-9-070, which is also attached. In addition, the following links will
provide instructions for the City's Pre -Application process, the Conditional Use Permit, and Environmental Review. We
recommend that you take advantage of the free Pre -Application meeting where staff will discuss your proposal and walk
you through the application and review process for the land use and environmental permits, as well as any Fire Code or
Building Code issues and permits needed.

Molly, the tone of the e-mail is based on the surprise that you appear to be moving ahead with your plan to locate your
treatment facility in Renton. As we have previously discussed the City of Renton is not supportive of the treatment
facility at this location for the reasons explained previously. Additionally, I thought I had been clear that your proposed
use would require an approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and environmental review pursuant to the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) prior to consideration of a business license. If you wish to pursue these permits (which
is your legal right) please contact our Planning Division for a pre -application meeting. Chip

Good afternoon Chip,
Any assistance on the permit that i refers to in the email below would be ul please. is she referring to the
business license? As you know, I have not yet applied for a business license since we are still some distance from
opening, so I'm a little confused about the tone and the content of the message. Yes ETS just recently signed a lease in
the IDC Medical Building. It wouldn't have made sense to apply for a business license until we had secured a location.
Thank you for any information.

It is my understanding that you signed a lease for a facility in Renton — on 1801h. Chip Vincent, the Community and
Economic Development Administrator met with you in October, and told you that you would need to go through the City
permit process — and that the City would not be supportive of this project. It appears you went ahead and signed a lease,
without going through the City process. This is not acceptable. You can contact either Chip Vincent or Jennifer Henning
— both are cc'd — regarding the City permit process and what you need to do.

I. INTRODUCTION
Appellant Evergreen Treatment Services ("ETS") requests that the Hearing
Examiner reverse the City of Renton Department of Community and Economic
Development's (the "CiW) administrative code interpretation dated April 1, 2014 entitled
"Administrative Interpretation of Unclassified Use Evergreen Treatment Services Opioid
Dependence Treatment Facility" (the "Interpretation") (attached as "Exhibit A" )-
�, Contrary to the Interpretation, the facility proposed by ETS is a "medical office" use
permitted outright in the Commercial Arterial (CA) Zone. The City's Interpretation is
inconsistent with the Renton Municipal Code and the standard rules of legislative
interpretation. The City has intentionally disregarded the clear provisions of the Renton
Municipal Code and has issued its Interpretation in order to improperly impede this law£u1
permitted use.

H. STATEMENT OF FACTS
ETS is a state and federally licensed provider that operates medication -assisted
outpatient treatment clinics for adults with opioid dependence. The medical services
offered by ETS are the most effective and evidence -based approach to treating opiate
addiction. Opioid treatment programs significantly lower illicit opiate drug use, reduce
illness and health problems from drug use, reduce crime, and enhance social productivity.
At an ETS clinic, patients are examined, diagnosed, and treated by medical
professionals for the federally recognized medical disease of opioid dependence. The
medical services provided in an ETS clinic include health assessments, medical diagnoses,
establishment of medical treatment plans, case management, dispensing of medication,
counseling services, and ancillary treatment such as acupuncture.
On November 22, 2013, representatives of ETS and the landowner of the IDC
Medical Building, located at 1412 SW 43'd Street, met with Chip Vincent, the
Administrator of the Department of Community and Economic Development, to discuss
ETS's proposal to establish a medication -assisted treatment clinic for patients with opioid
use disorders in the IDC Medical Building (the "Facility"). Mr. Vincent strongly
discouraged ETS from locating its proposed Facility anywhere in the City of Renton,
indicating that Renton had already allowed one such facility into the City and that the City
did not want any more located in Renton. Mr. Vincent suggested that ETS should find a
location in Kent or another South King County city.
After reviewing the Renton Municipal Code, determining that its proposal met the
definition of a "medical office" use and that medical office uses were permitted outright in
the CA zone where the IDC Medical Building was located, ETS decided that it would
proceed with establishing the Facility in that location. ETS signed a lease and began work
with its architect to submit a Tenant Improvement building permit to the City. In

February 2014, ETS emailed the City to keep it updated of progress on the Facility. In
response, the City sent an email indicating that the City would require a Conditional Use
Permit ("CUP") and full environmental review pursuant to SEPA before the Facility
11 would be able to obtain any permits or licenses.
On March 20, 2014, counsel for ETS sent an e-mail to the City explaining that a
CUP and SEPA determination were not necessary to move forward with granting a Tenant
Improvement permit for the Facility because the zoning of the area in which the IDC
Medical Building was located allowed medical offices as outright permitted uses. As the
Facility fit squarely within the definition of a medical office, as defined by the Code, a
CUP would not be necessary. Because a prior medical office use had occupied the space
proposed by ETS, the proposed Tenant Improvement permit was categorically exempt
under SEPA.
On March 31, 2014, the Mayor of Renton sent a letter to ETS stating that ETS
would need to apply for a CUP and wait for a response. Subsequently, the City issued the
formal Interpretation. The Interpretation asserts that the Facility is a chemical dependency
treatment facility, that chemical dependency treatment facilities are an unclassified use,
and that such a use is categorized as a "Healthcare Service" which would require a CUP to
locate in the IDC Medical Building.
ETS filed this appeal as provided under RMC 4-8-110.
Ill. ARGUMENT
A. The Facility Does Not Require a CUP by a Hearing Examiner.
The IDC Medical Building is located within the CA zoning district of the City of
Renton. The Renton Municipal Code lists "medical and dental offices" as an outright
permitted use in the CA zoning district. RMC 4-2-060. A medical and dental office is
defined as "[a]ny office used by physicians, dentists, and/or other medical professionals to

examine, diagnose, and treat patients, and to administer day-to-day accessory office
functions relating to the medical or dental practice." RMC 4-11-150. A medical/dental
office does not require a CUP to be able to move forward with development.
1. The Facility is a Medical Office, an Outright Permitted Use in the CA
"Zoning District.
The Facility is a medication -assisted outpatient treatment clinic for patients with
opioid use disorders. The process for accepting, diagnosing, and treating patients, as
described in more detail below, demonstrates that this use fits squarely within the
definition of a medical/dental office.
Every new potential patient to be seen at the clinic is first evaluated by a licensed
Chemical Dependency Professional. Upon completion of this examination, the patient
meets with a medical provider who diagnoses the patient to confirm the disease of opiate
use disorder and to assess other medical concomitant conditions. Subsequently, the
patient is provided methadone or another medication as treatment for their condition.
Throughout the duration of this medical treatment, the patient is assigned a
medical provider and a Chemical Dependency Professional certified counselor. The
medical provider monitors the administered treatment to ensure it is appropriate and safe,
and coordinates with any other medical care givers that the patient may have. All of the
treatment is provided on an outpatient only basis. The patient is required to attend at least
weekly counseling sessions at the Facility. Both professionals monitor progress of the
treatment and modify the treatment plan as necessary. Patients may be discharged if they
successfully complete a treatment plan, move to another clinic or area, fail to observe the
treatment protocols, violate the Patient Code of Conduct, or fail to pay their bill.
The Facility operates essentially in the same way in which a medical office is run.
A medical professional conducts preliminary assessments to determine the patient's

diagnosis, prescribes a particular treatment, monitors that treatment to ensure the patient's
safety and progress, and offers ongoing arld related care. If and when treatment has been
completed, and the patient no longer needs medical services, the patient may be
discharged_
The Facility fits within the definition of a medical office and should be permitted
as an outright permitted use.
2. Even if Unclassified, the Facility is Most Similar to a "Medical and
Dental Offices" Use, Not a "Healthcare Services" Use.
in the alternative, even if the Hearing Examiner finds that the Facility does not fit
within the definition of the outright permitted use of a medical/dental office, and finds that
the Facility is an unclassified use, the Facility is most similar to a medical office, not a
"Healthcare Service" and, as such, should be, permitted outright.
'Me Code provides that uses that are not within a list of permitted, conditionally
permitted, or accessory uses, but similar to a listed use, are "unclassified uses." RMC 4-2-
050.A. The Development Services Division Director may make an administrative
interpretation to determine whether the proposed use that is not specifically listed is
allowed in a specific zoning district. To allow an unclassified proposed use, the Director
must determine that the use is "i. in keeping with the purpose and intent of the zone, and
consistent with the Renton Comprehensive Plan policies; and ii. Similar in nature to, and
no more intense than, a specifically listed permitted, conditional or accessory use...
RMC 4-2-050.C.6.
Without any justification, the Interpretation concludes that the Facility should be
categorized on the Zoning Use Table as a "Healthcare Service" and that it would require a
CUP to locate in the CA Zone. The facts do not support this decision.

The Interpretation fails to provide any analysis on why the Facility is not similar to
a "medical and dental offices" use. There are numerous types of medical office uses that
have been permitted outright by the City as "medical and dental offices" uses that are
II similar to the proposed Facility. Likewise, there are several errors in the City issuing an
11 Interpretation that decides that the Facility is similar to'a "Healthcare Service."
i. The City's Comparison. to "Healthcare Service" is Unsupported
by the Cited Factors.
The factors cited in the Interpretation likening the proposed Facility to a
"Healthcare Service" have little relevance. The origin of the clientele has no relevance to
the categorization, of the use. Similarly, the need or desire for a transit line nearby has
nothing to do with the use proposed inside the ID C Medical Building. Likewise, the
desire by a tenant or building owner to provide security or to locate a clinic entrance on
the first floor do not address the use proposed inside the building or why the Facility is
similar to a "Healthcare Service."
ii. "Healthcare Services" is a Category, Not a Use.
Additionally, there is no zoning "use" in the Renton Municipal Code called
"Healthcare Services." The Zoning Use Table referred by the City lists a variety of
specific uses that are combined into different labeled categories. These categories are
provided solely for the convenience of the reader. The categories themselves are not uses.
"Medical and dental offices," for example, is a specific type of land use that has
been grouped into a category called "Office and Conference." There is no "use" in the
city called an "Office and Conference-" Other specific uses listed within the "Office and
Conference" category include conference centers and veterinary offices/clinics.
"Healthcare Services" is one of the convenient categories presented in the Zoning
Use Table. However, there is no use specified in the Renton Municipal Code called

"Healthcare Services_" There are no specific zones in which a "Healthcare Services" use
is permitted, permitted by conditional use, or prohibited. Instead, the uses listed under the
category "Healthcare Services" are the uses that the City should have examined. The
determination by the City that the Facility is a "Healthcare Service" and is required to get
a CUP is entirely unsupported by the Renton Municipal Code.
RL Neither of the Uses in the "Healthcare Service" Category are
Similar to the Facility.
Even if the City intended to state, in its Interpretation, that it had decided that the
Facility was similar to the two uses specified under "Healthcare Services," that
Interpretation would also be erroneous. The two uses listed under the "Healthcare
Services" category are medical institutions and convalescent centers. The Facility is
clearly neither a convalescent center nor a medical institution.
The Code defines a "convalescent center" as:
A facility licensed by the State for patients who are recovering health and
strength after illness or injury, or receiving long-term care for chronic
conditions, disabilities, or terminal illnesses. Facilities provide twenty-
four (24) hour supervised nursing care and feature extended treatment that
is administered by a skilled nursing staff. Typically, residents do not live
in individual units and the facilities provide personal care, room, board,
laundry service, and organized activities. This definition does not include
adult family homes, assisted living, group homes H, medical institutions,
and/or secure community transition facilities.
RMC 4-11-030. The Facility provides outpatient medical services. It does not provide
long-term 24 hour care by a skilled nursing staff.
"Medical institutions" are defined by the Code as:
Facilities providing physical or mental health services, in -patient
accommodations, and medical or surgical care of the sick or injured.
Medical institutions are allowed one helipad as an accessory use, if
fi nctionally and architecturally integrated into the primary use, regardless
of the treatment of helipads in the underlying zoning. This definition

includes hospitals, clinics, hospices, holistic health centers, and nursing
homes as defined in Group I-2 of the ITC_ This definition excludes
medical and dental offices, convalescent centers, assisted living, and group
homes I and H.
RMC 4-11-130. By definition, medical institutions provide "in -patient
accommodations." Again, the Facility provides only out -patient medical services
and is clearly excluded from the definition of medical institution.
Notably, the definition of "medical institution" specifically excludes
"medical and dental offices" which, as noted above, are defined as a facility `used
by physicians, dentists, and/or other medical professionals to examine, diagnose,
and treat patients..." RMC 4-11-150. Reading the definition of "medical
institution" and the exclusion of "medical and dental offices" should have led the
City to conclude that the Facility fit squarely within the "medical and dental
offices" definition or, in the alternative, is unclassified, but most similar to a
"medical and dental office" use. Either way, the City had no basis to conclude
that the Facility was similar to a "medical institution."
TV. CONCLUSION
Based on the foregoing and the evidence to be presented at hearing, Appellant
requests that the Hearing Examiner reverse the City's Interpretation and find that the
Facility is a permitted use in the CA zoning district and that no CUP is required.

gradually increases over the next three to four weeks until a therapeutic dose is
achieved. Patient's are required to come to the clinic six day a week to self administer
their medication in front of a dispensing nurse. Patients are able to earn "take-home"
medication by successful participation in counseling, negative drug screens and length
of time in the program.
A program must be certified by the federal Center for Substance Abuse, accredited by a

program location at the address above listed In 45.
PART C -- CONSULTATION CRITERIA
Please review, evaluate, and comment on the following criteria used by DBHR for review
of applications for the proposed OTP in your area.
OTP CONSULTATION FOAM
Page 3of10
1. Site deturm€nation.
Therapeutic Health Services (THS) is planning on opening this program In its current THS-Eastside
Branch location in Bellevue — address as noted earlier in this document. THS possesses documentation
from Ton] Pratt, Senior Planner for City of Befievue (attached) indicating that the current location of THS is
permitted.
Consider. Will the OTP be sited In accordance with the appropriate county or city land use ordinances
including the business license, certificate of occupancy, and/or conditional or special use permits issued
by the local authorities? Are there any conditional or special use permits for the proposed site? .
Documentation may include written correspondence from a local government official that no local
ordinances apply; or, written correspondence from a local government official that the agency complies
with local ordinances. Are there any applicable requirements or other Issues that DBHR should consider
about the proposed site of the OTP?
If you need more room, please attach a separate sheet.
OTP CONSULTATION FORM
Page 4 of 10
2. Determination of need.
DBHR WILL INDICATE IN THIS SECTION WHETHER THE NEED [N A COUNTY HAS BEEN
PREVIOUSLY DETERMINED IN PUBLIC HEARINGS.
Consider: What is the size of the population within the county or area for the proposed OTP? `
Documentation may Include the number of admissions to healthcare facilities with opiate diagnosis,
needle exchange data, Information, and data from health districts about the need for an DTP within the
county.
King County currently determines need based on a percentage of total population. The year 2009 was the
last year this was calculated. At that time, it was determined that the County could support 11 programs.
At the current time there are only 7 programs in the county. THS has been asked by King County to
consider opening an additional program in Bellevue. THS Is reporting they have 152 clients who live at
addresses on the east side of Lake Washington who currently are in treatment in THS program In their
SummftlSerieca branches in Seattle. There are currently no Opiate Treatment Programs in Bellevue or
the east side of King County.
Note: If you. need more room, please attach a separate sheet
OTP CONSULTATION FORM
Page 5 of 10
3. Accessibility of transportation systems.
THS reports they have 152 clients who live in East King County and travel to Seattle for treatment. Some
of these clients are receiving their medications in Seattle and counseling treatment at the THS-Eastside
Branch In Bellevue. Siting an OTP in Bellevue will reduce barriers to treatment (especially with the
prospect of tolls on the bridges) by bringing all treatment services closer to where clients actually live.
THS antic€pates that some clients.who currently work In Seattle may choose to continue to receive
treatment in Seattle. THS also anticipates that most of the OTP clients will' arrive by car, either privately
owned vehicle or tax!. THS will encourage carpooling for all clients where appropriate. Other clients may
arrive by bus. The closest Metro bus route is #233 which will drop clients off at the corner of 140'h and
Bel -Red Road, a walk of approximately one black. Another option will be the Hopellnk van. Hopelink is a
private non-profit organization which, among other services, provides transportation for low income clients
to critical services. Hopelink currently provides transportation for East King County clients to THS' Summit
and Seneca Branches in Seattle.
A number of other non-profit organizations in Bellevue also provide their own transportation for their clients
who receive services from THS in Seattle. It is assumed that they will now drive or walk their clients to the
Bellevue location.
Consider: 'Does the transportation system provide reasonable access opportunities to the OTP for
persons in need of treatment? Documentation may includo public transportation schedules, projected
client costs for transportation, and the time required to commute to the program site Within the service
area,
Note: if you need more room, please attach a separate sheet.
DTI' CONSULTATION FORM
Page 6 of 10
4. Availability of other opiate substitution treatment programs within the area of proposed
program.
There are currently no other OTPs in the City of Bellevue or east of Lake Washington In King County. The
closest program to Bellevue is currently at the THS Summit/Seneca Branches in Seattle. It is our
understanding from THS that both of these branches are now stretched beyond capacity and that King
County has asked THS to establish an opiate treatment program In Bellevue.
Consider: Are there other OTPs within the county or area? Do the other OTPs have 350 patients?
Could the existing OTPs increase their capacity to accommodate more patients? Would you support an
existing OTP to treat more than 350 patients?
!Vote: if you need more room, please attach a separate sheet.
5. Coordination of proposed OTP with other health care service providers within the service area,
THS works closely with a range of other service providers in the City of Bellevue and elsewhere in Past
King County to provide the broadest continuum of care possible. Some of these include: Group Health
Cooperative, Overlake Hospital, Fairfax Hospital, Eastside Domestic Violence Program, Hero House, The
Sophia Way, Congregations for the Homeless and others. Most of this coordination is accomplished
through informal agreement or done through memorandum of understanding. Some years ago Group
Health began to contract directly with THS to provide their drug and alcohol services.
OTP CONSULTATION FORM
Page 7 of 10

T. Recommendations for date, time, and accessible location for public hearings that ensure the
mast affected individuals can attend to present testimony in support or opposed to the applicant's
proposed program.
DBHR WILL INDICATE IN THIS SECTION WHETHER THE NEED IN A COUNTY HAS BEEN
PREVIOUSLY DETERMINED IN PUBLIC HEARINGS.
WHEN DBHR RECEIVES WRITTEN NOTICE OF A PROPOSED SITE FOR A NEW OTP IN A CITY
WHICH DBHR HAS NOT YET CONSULTED AND PUBLIC HEARINGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN

Subject: Medical office building, 1412 140th Place NE
Joellen,
I have conducted preliminary research of your proposal to locate a TNS facility at 1412
1401n Place NE. The zoning for the property is Professional Office, in transition from
single and multifamily residential uses adjacent to this site. The THS facility is permitted
outright within this zoning district. It is classified as a medical office use. From our
discussion last week, it is my understanding that you intend to conduct an internal
remodel to the existing building with no changes to the building exterior. If your plans
change and exterior modifications are necessary, then a Land Use Exemption (LUX)
appllcation is necessary. Exterior changes includes the parking lot as well. As an aside,
a separate sign permit appllcativn is necessary to note this new business use.
I hope the above is helpful to you. You should contact the other reviewing departments
such as building, fire, etc. to determine if there are any major issues for placing such a
facility at this location.
Thanks[

BUPRENORPHINE:
Easier Opioid Withdrawal and Treatment Available in
Primary Care Settings
uprenorphine is available under the brand names Subutex" (pure
buprenorphine) and 5uboxone (buprenorphine piu s naioxone).
Wending ini}i€itiv,. -
Suboxoncl is the most commonly prescribed form and comes in tablet or
soluble fiim that dissolves when placed under the tongue. Neither is
effective when swallowed.
Buprenorphine is a long -acting partial agonist. It acts on the same receptors
as heroin and morphine, but has a limited effect that does not increase with
an increased dose. It relieves drug cravings and withdrawal symptoms
without producing an intense "high" or dangerous side effects. While
buprenorphine is being used, other opioids will have little to no effect,
minimizing the risk of sudden or impulsive return to opioid use.
Buprenorphine represents a positive alternative for opioid addiction
treatment because it:
➢ rapidly reduces or eliminates withdrawal symptoms, often within an
hour. Without medical assistance with buprenorphine, withdrawal is
experienced as 3-5 days of severe flu -like symptoms. This keeps many
people addicted to opioids actively involved in illicit drug use to avoid the
withdrawal experience.
➢ is available by prescription from specially trained physicians in primary
care and other office -based settings. This allows for increased access to
opioid treatment, thus providing an alternative for those who are
concerned about going to a methadone clinic, and helps reduce stigma by
bringing addiction treatment into the primary care setting.
�© Physicians who have met the requirements and are authorized to treat
. y patients with buprenorphine are listed by state on SAMHSA's:Treatment
} t Locator website: http://buprer)orphhine.samhsa.zov/bwns locator/.
Buprenorphine therapy is comprised of three phases:
➢ Induction: medically monitored startup of buprenorphine therapy. The
individual has abstained from using short -acting opioids for a minimum
of 8-12 hours and demonstrates clinical signs of moderate withdrawal.
If the patient is not in the early stages of withdrawal (i.e., if he or she
has other opioids in the bloodstream), then the buprenorphine dose
could precipitate acute withdrawal.
➢ Stabilization: patient has discontinued or greatly reduced use, no
longer has cravings, and is experiencing few or no side effects. The
dose may need to be adjusted during the stabilization phase.
➢ Maintenance: patient is doing weii cn a steady dose of buprenorphine.
The length of the maintenance phase is individualized and may be
indefinite.
➢ Medically supervises) withdrawal may be considered after a sufficient
period of maintenance and once stabilization has been achieved.
Primary counseling and adjunctive medical management are critical in
providing the most effective treatment with buprenorphine-
Counselors should take care to work with, not against, the medication.
Counseling with a focus on "getting off' buprenorphine can convey the idea
that taking the medication is somehow wrong. Instead, counselors should
support patients' medication compliance, framing It as one aspect of a
comprehensive treatment plan.
Patients and physicians will decide together about the option to use
buprenorphine. Ideal candidates who may benefit from this medication:
0 have been diagnosed with opioid addiction,
• are capable of self-administering medication on a daily basis and
participating in counseling and other support services necessary for
recovery,
• are willing to follow safety precautions for treatment (e.g., safe storage,
not sharing medication, not abusing benzodiazepines, etc.),
• have no contraindications (e.g., co -ingestion of alcohol, co -ingestion of
certain central nervous system depressants), and
8 agree to treatment with buprenorphine after a review of treatment
options.
Ongoing care coordination between} the physician, counselor, community
support provider, and self-help/12-step program is essential.

METHADONE:
Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) can help injection drug users (IDUs) reduce or stop
injecting and return to productive lives. (IDU HIV Prevention, CDC, February 2002)
ettadone is z synthetic, long -acting medication that has been used to treat
opioid addiction for over 40 years. A Scheduie II controlled substance,
Methadone is a mu -receptor opioid agonist. Also known under the brand
names Dolophine® and MethadoseT", methadone is a legal, well -tested medication. A
blending initiative . y., potent analgesic, methadone is highly effective in reducing morbidity and mortality
associated with opioid addiction. The medication is taken orally either in tabiet, liquid
or dispersible tablet (diskette) form. With an onset of action within 30 minutes and
an average duration of action of 24 to 36 hours, methadone only needs to be taken
M once a day for the treatment of opiate abuse. When prescribed for the treatment of
chronic pain, methadone is typically dosed 3 times per day.
Methadone for opioid addiction treatment can only be dispensed in specially licensed
outpatient maintenance treatment programs or medicaiiy supervised withdrawal
_ programs. Oversight of these Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) is a tripartite system
C°. �! including states, SAMHSA, and the U.S. Department of Justice/Drug Enforcement
1 ,s Administration. Opioid treatment programs (OTPs) are not available for treatment in
'u all states (see htt www.d t.samhsa. ov treatment treatmertindex.as x for an
OTP Directory). Authorization for take-home medication is left to the discretion of
0 the program's medical director according to eight criteria specified in 42 CFR part 8,
12 (i) (e.g., length of time the patient has been in treatment, regularity of clinic
attendance, continued opioid abstinence).
As methadone was developed for persons with significant histories of heroin
y' addiction, it is not appropriate for individuals who used oplolds occasionally. Current
M
addiction to an opioid drug and a one-year history of addiction is necessary for
admission to maintenance treatment. According to 42 CFR, the first initial dose of
methadone shouid not exceed 30 milligrams (mg) and a total dose for the first day
77
shall not exceed 40 mg. Patients who abused diverted medical opioids alone may
_ require a lower initial dose [42CFR 8.12 (h)(2)(c)l.
A patient's response to treatment determines her or his progression through the
stages of methadone treatment. Studies suggest that the duration of retention in
treatment is directly related to success in outcome (Gerstein et al., 1994; french et
al., 1993; French & Zarkin, 1992; Gerstein & Harwood, 1992; Hubbard et al., 1989,
Simpson et al., 1986*). As there are no limits on duration or dosage level, a major
goal for programs is to retain patients for as long as they can benefit from treatment
and express a desire to continue. Research has shown that compared to those on
lower doses,'patients on higher doses (60-120 me dolly) stay in treatment longer, use
less heroin and other drugs, and have lower incidence of HIV infection.
The Stages of Methadone Treatment are as Follows:
Initial Treatment Period:
➢ First day dosing not to exceed 30-40 mg
➢ Entails intensive assessment and intervention
➢ Requires vigilance over rapid dosage increases due to methadone's half-life and
degree of tolerance
➢ Necessitates daily dosing at the DTP
➢ Lasts from 3-7 days
NIDAH,T.u.f ATTC � :� 'S"H
ar ewc-uiue�
xsL a..wy�wm.«yono rr.wx _.
Early Stabilization:
➢ Patient can become eligible for take home medication within 9C days
➢ Periodic assessment of the most appropriate combination of treatment and services is provided
➢ Lasts from the third to the seventh day of treatment until the eighth week
Long-term Treatment:
➢ Clinical stability typically achieved at doses between 80-120 mg/day
➢ Occurs from the end of stabilization and lasts for an indefinite period of time
Medically Supervised Withdrawal:
➢ Only conducted if and when appropriate as some patients may require lifelong maintenance
➢ Tapering is conducted gradually at a rate that is well tolerated by the patient, is in accordance with sound
clinical judgment, and is conducted under the supervision of a physician
v Goal is to achieve the elimination of physical dependence to opioid medications
Patients are apprised of the high risk of relapse to illicit drug use associated with discontinuation of
methadone maintenance treatment
The major risks of methadone are often related to over or under medication. These can include respiratory
depression and, to a lesser degree, systemic hypotension. The most frequently observed side effects to the
medication include €ightheadedriess, dizziness, sedation, nausea, weight gain, vomiting, and sweating.
Asa medication, methadone is effective in:
* blocking the euphoric and sedating effects of opiates
• relieving the craving for opiates (a major factor in relapse)
• relieving symptoms associated with withdrawaf from opiates
• eliminating the euphoria or intoxication allowing a person to work
• improving individual functioning including family and other social relationships
• reducing HIV infection
Further, patients enrolled in an OTP receive medical, counseling, vocational, educational and other assessment and
treatment services, Methadone is currently the recommended treatment for opioid-addicted pregnant women,
when properly used, methadone is considered refativefy safe for the fetus. By participating in an OTP, pregnant
patients receive necessary prenatal care and other gender specific services either by the OTP or by referral to
appropriate healthcare providers.

INFO
BRIEF
Heroin Trends Across Washington State
June 2013
Washington, like much of the United States, has seen increases in the use and harms associated with heroin. Because direct measure-
ment of heroin use is difficult, various indicator data are used instead. Police evidence provide a close to real time picture of what is
available on the street. Treatment data tend to lag behind heroin availability and onset of use by several years. Deaths are a lagging
indicator as well, though King County data show an increase in deaths involving heroin among those under 30 in 2012, indicating that
-the lag may not be as long as expected. The rate of all opiate deaths (heroin and/or Rx-type) has nearly doubled in the past decade.
For some, abuse of prescription -type opiates (e.g. morphine, oxycodone, methadone) leads to heroin use* so preventing inappropriate
use of prescription (Rx) opiates is important. All opiate overdoses can be prevented and most can be reversed before they become fa-
tal. This report summarizes the most recent data available for heroin and includes information about resources to help people prevent
and treat opiate addiction and prevent fatal overdoses.
Police evidence tested by the State Crime Lab
2,500
2,000
The past decade has seen an overall decline in the amount of
evidence sent to the state crime lab for testing. Heroin and Rx-
a,�oo
type opiates are the exception. Rx-type opiates peaked in 2009
1,000
while heroin increased. These data parallel the impressions of
police across much of the state that heroin has increased, in local
.�
soo
communities in recent years.

Treatment admissions
Total treatment'admissions show that heroin is the most common drug in 2012 among 18-29 year olds. First time admissions to
treatment indicate that the growth in heroin admissions is driven by young adults and is primarily outside of the Seattle metro area.

Fatal overdoses involving heroin and/or Rx-type opiates (unintentional)
The average annual number of deaths from 2000-2002 was 310, from 2009-2011 it was 607. The majority of deaths involved Rx-type
opiates from 2000-2011. Heroin and unspecified opiates increased in the period from 2009-2011. King County data for 2012 indicate 84
heroin involved deaths, up from 49 in 2009, with all of the increase among those under 30 (data not shown).

Infectious diseases can be spread via injection drug use
Washington state has a low prevalence and incidence of HIV among injec-
tion drug users (IDU) which is related to our longtime and widespread sy-
ringe exchange programs dating back to 1988. Hepatitis B and C can be
spread more easily than HIV via injection drug use. In King County 75% of
IDU's have Hepatitis C. Hepatitis C diagnoses from 2009-2011 indicate that
some of the highest rates are also in counties where heroin indicators are
the highest; however, current data on risk factors related to hepatitis in-
fection are unavailable.

AeouT METHADONE TREATMENT
Methadone Treatment - or "opiate substitution" treatment— is an outpatient service for individuals
addicted to heroin or other opiates. Under this approach, state -funded and accredited opiate substitution
treatment agencies provide counseling and daily or near -daily administration of methadone or other
approved substitute drugs. Patients also receive education, random urine drug screening to monitor
drug use, and are subject to stringent rules regarding compliance. Methadone treatment is distinct from
'drug free" treatment for opiate addiction. 'Drug free" programs do not dispense methadone or other
approved substitute drugs to persons addicted to opiates. A "drug free" treatment program may occur In
a residential or outpatient setting. Residential modalities are generally highly structured and include
intensive inpatient and long-term residential treatment Intensive inpatient treatment typically lasts 21 to
28 days while long-term residential treatment lasts 90 days or longer.
Compared to clients receiving "drug free" treatment for opiate addiction, clients in methadone
treatment tend to have more years of regular heroin use prior to treatment, more intense use of heroin in
the 30 days prier to treatment, and greater dependence an income acquired through illegal activity s
5 Cost offsets were estimated using regression models In which the effects of covariates (age, gender, racelethnicity, baseline medical
expenditures, dual eligible status) were controlled. Cost offsets are measured relative to untreated dients.

Longer Stays In Methadone Treatment Reduce The Risk Of Criminal Re -Arrest
And Conviction
Stays in methadone treatment of more than 90 days are associated with a reduced risk of
re -arrest or conviction. Methadone treatment stays over one year are associated with
particularly dramatic reductions. Staying in methadone treatment 90 days or less is
associated with an increased risk of re -arrest or conviction, which may reflect the effect of
arrests or convictions in terminating treatment, or increased criminal activity that may
follow relapse in use and premature exit from treatment.
■ Compared to untreated opiate addicts, the risk of re -arrest is 18 percent higher for
persons who stay in methadone treatment for 90 days or less, but is 10 percent lower
for those in treatment 91 to 365 days and 61 percent lower for those who stay more
than one year.'
■ Compared to untreated opiate addicts, the risk of a felony conviction is 53 percent
higher for persons in methadone treatment for 90 days or less, 63 percent lower for
opiate addicts in methadone treatment 91 to 365- days, and 83 percent lower for
those in methadone treatment for more than one year.
■ Similarly, the risk of any conviction is 27 percent higher for persons who stay in
methadone treatment for 90 days or less, 43 percent lower for opiate addicts in
methadone treatment 91 to 365 days, and 72 percent lower for those who stay in
methadone treatment for more than one year.

4 Methadone Tr nt for Opiate Addiction
TECHNICAL NOTES
This paper examines "cost offsets" — costs avoided for clients already receiving treatment or potential
savings that might be realized by treating the untreated — of Medicaid medical, mental health, and long-
term care costs among opiate addicts who were treated with methadone. The paper also examines
criminal arrest and conviction outcomes among persons addicted to opiates who enter methadone
treatment. The criminal justice analyses are restricted to clients with prior criminal histories.
The study population included dients who received Supplemental Security Income (SS I) benefits at
some time between July 1997 and December 2001 and who were identified as having a substance
abuse problem based on administrative records. The SSI program provides cash and medical
assistance to persons with little or no income who are unable to work due primarily to disability. Results
of the original study8 and comparisons for stimulant drag abusers9 and those with opiate addictions
who participated in drug free chemical dependency treatment'O are also available from the authors.
The need for treatment for these clients was identified through events recorded in administrative data.
Information used to identify a need for treatment included medical diagnoses or procedures;
detoxification, assessment, or alcohol or drug (AOD) treatment encounters; and arrests for drug or
alcohol -related offenses. Clients were included in the analysis only if they had at least one month of
medical assistance eligibility both before and after the "index event° indicating a need for AOD
treatment.
For this report, a subset of 3,354 persons was identified as opiate -dependent by the presence of:
■ Heroin, non-prescription methadone, prescribed opiate substitutes, or other opiates and synthetics
as primary, secondary, or tertiary drug of abuse in TARGET records."
■ Diagnosis of opiate abuse or dependence in Medicaid claims data.
Medicaid costs of opiate -addicted clients receiving methadone treatment were compared with costs of
opiate -addicted clients who remained untreated. Offsets were estimated using regression models to
control for the effects of covariates such as age, gender, racelethnicity; and baseline medical
expenditures.

OPIATE TREATMENT PROGRAM
k-9 (OTP) .EXPANSION
King Country
Need for Expansion of Opiate Treatment in King County
There is a need to expand Opiate Treatment Programs in King County, This
expansion is in alignment with the King County Strategic Plan, the Equity and Social
Justice Initiative, and the Recovery Ordinance. The need for expansion is driven by:
Lack of capacity at current OTP locations
Poor customer service — There are no OTP services for south county residents
• Excessive Medicaid transportation costs for south King County residents traveling
to downtown Seattle for treatment -- equivalent to treating 240 individuals
• Long waitlists for OTP services
An emerging population of youth and young adults addicted to opiates
Pending expansion of Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
making more individuals eligible for publically funded services in 2014
What is Opiate Treatment?
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) provided through OTPs provides a person
with chronic opiate dependency with health, social, and rehabilitative services, and
medication (methadone) in order to relieve withdrawal symptoms, reduce opiate
craving, allow normalization of the body% fimetion, and return to a more productive
In. Methadone has throe purposes: to keep patients from going into opiate
withdrawal, to reduce craving, and to block the effects of non -prescribed opiates.
Patients taking the correct dose of medication feel normal, not higl:L The goal of
MAT is to help individuals recover from addiction. It does NOT replace one
addictive drug with another, rather, it works to shift the person's life away from
addiction. Methadone is a relapse prevention medication and a chronic disease
management tool, much like the medication people with hypertension or diabetes take
to manage their chronic health condition in order to have a healthier and more
productive life.

Responsibilities: federal — State — County --- Provider
The responsibilities to open a new OTP are shared by federal, state and county governments and the provider.
The diagram below identifies key responsibilities of each party.
State County
Common Issues/Concerns
The most common issues associated with siting a new OTP are:
• Stigma associated with addiction and the misperception that methadone is substituting one drug for
another, thus, attracting addicts not interested in recovery to the location.
• "Not in my backyard" community response. To counter this, providers must develop neighbor relations
plans, encourage patients not to Ioiter in the neighborhood, and provide ongoing community education
about QTPs, ht July 2012, we supported the opening of a now OTP clinic in the City of Bellevue, There
was little opposition. There have been no problems reported since opening the Bellevue clinic.
• Land use and zoning questions and/or challenges.
• Recently, MHCADSD responded to complaints about enrollment over capacity and neighborhood y�J
loitering at the'two programs located next door.to each other in Seattle's li irst Hill neighborhood, ON S046
Relocating clients to the south end clinic, once open, will help alleviate this problem.
Dmeline
• Because more than 500 individuals travel daily from south King County to downtown Seattle for
treatment, opening a south King County clinic the fast priority in expansion efforts. The expected time to
open the south end clinic is summer 2013.
• The provider will begin securing a south end location Spring 2013.
• Planning for expansion to meet the needs of newly eligible Medicaid clients under the ACA will. begin
immediately -- including exploring options for expanding capacity at existing clinics.
• Clinics for newly eligible individuals will open the first half of 2014. For clinics opening in 2014, we are
exploring options of co -location with existing health care providers, including options to locate services
within primary care sites such as clinics operated by Public Health.
Recommendations
• Enthusiastically support the expansion of OTP services to south King County. Market it as expanding
health care services to an underserved area with significant need, making for "a better King County".
• Once a suitable site is identified, contact city officials including the Mayor, Council Members, City
Administrators, Land Use Plaim rs and the Human Service planners to educate and garner support for
expansion of OTP in their community.
• The new clinic should be leoated in south King County,
• The new clinic location ideally would be on or near a bus line in an area with other health related
services or busines= nearby.

OTP Expansion Supports the King County Strategic Plan
DTP expansion to south King County supports the vision, mission, and goals of the King County Strategic Plan. This
expansion recognizes that treatment is effective, and recovery gives everyone the opportunity to thrive in safe, healthy,
and vibrant communities. Through state, local, and provider collaboration we are responding to an area of King County
with significant unmet need and siting services so that individuals do not need to travel long distances for health services.
OTP expansion specifically supports the following strategic plan goals, objectives, and strategies:
Health and Human Potential —promote opportunities for all communities and individuals to realize theix full potential.
Objective 1: Increasing the number of healthy years that residents live — strategies:
➢ Initiate, implement and coordinate programs that prevent the leading causes of poor health and premature death,
including injuries and violence
➢ Ensure access to affordable, appropriate and quality physical and behavioral health services
➢ Implement policies and interventions to reduce health disparities
Objective 4: Ensure a network of integrated and effective health and human services is available — strategies:
➢ Facilitate access to programs that reduce or prevent involvement in the criminal justice system
➢ Support partnerships to deliver integrated and effective services to those in need
➢ Join with local and regional partners to help stabilize and improves peoples lives
Environmental Sustainability — Safeguard and enhance King County's natural resources and environment.
Objective 4: Minimize King County's operational environmental footprint —strategies:
D Advance policies and programs that simultaneously reduce climate pollution and improve heath
Service Excellence — Establish a culture of customer service and deliver services that are responsive to the community
Objective 4: Increase access to King County Services, personnel, and information — strategies:
D Provide information and services that are culturally and linguistically appropriate
,Elements of Effective QTPs
hose -- Studies of methadone effectiveness have
shown a dose -response relationship, with higher
doses more effective at reducing cravings and
reducing heroin and other opiate use, helping
patients stay in treatment and reducing criminal
activity.
Length of Tt catment --Studies have shown that
good outcomes for OTPs are unequivocally
contingent on adequate length of treatment. A
research -based guide developed by the National
histitute on Drug Abuse CNIDA), notes that "For
methadone maintenance, 12 months of treatment is
the minimum, and some opiate -addicted
individuals will continue to benefit from
methadone maintenance treatment over a period of
years."
Individualized Treatment Planning — Addressing
multiple treatment goals, health issues, basic needs,
and psychosocial challenges by a diverse
population that includes older adults with decades
of injection drug use, pregnant women, and a
rapidly expanding group of young adults requires
individualized and flexible treatment programs.
Who is Eligible for Treatment?
To be eligible for publicly funded treatment in
King County, a person must be low-income or on
Medicaid. In addition; patients must be currently
addicted to an opiate drug and have been addicted
at least one year. The Substance Abuse Prevention
and Treatment Block Grant identifies pregnant
injecting drug users, pregnant substance abusers
and injecting drug users as priority populations. .
What Services Are Provided?
In addition to physical exams and medical
monitoring by a physician, clinics provide
individual and group counseling, case
management; medications, urinalysis screening,
referral to other health and social services, and
patient monitoring. Additional services such as
acupuncture and self help groups are available at
some locations.
South .sing County .Clients in O-TPs
556 or 18 percent of current publicly funded methadone clients live in South King County and
must find a way to get to downtown Seattle tip to six days each week for treatment. This is
clinically unsound and expensive. In addition to the treatment costs, over $1.6M was spent by
the state to transport King County Medicaid clients to OTP treatment sites in Seattle. These
transportation costs can be reduced drastically by opening a facility in south King County.

OTP Costs and Funding
King County pays OTP providers a daily all inclusive rate of $13,81. MHCADSD spent $9.2 million on OTP
services during calendar year 2012 utilizing local, state, and federal resources. Two-thirds of the funding was
through Medicaid.

Through agreements with MHCADSD, Public
Health, and the OTP providers, the Syringe Exchange
Program maintains a single waitlist and provides
case management services to individuals awaiting
treatment. There are currently 200 clients on the
waitlist for OTT services. Demographics of individuals on
the waitlist:
321% reside in South King County
• 35% are female
• 72% are homeless or in templunstable housing
• 51% are underage 34
It is important to note that the Wait= underrepresents the
demand for treatment, Individuals stop requesting
treatment when word gets out that there are long waits for admission.

BUPRENORPHINE:
Easier Opioid Withdrawal and Treatment Available in
Primary Care Settings
uprenorphine is available under the brand names Subutex® (pure
buprenorphine) and 5uboxone® (buprenorphine plus naloxone).
5uboxone® is the most commonly prescribed form and comes in tablet or
blending Inifiotive
hivA - SA 'sA I
soluble film that dissolves when placed under the tongue. Neither is
effective when swallowed.
Buprenorphine is a long -acting partial agonist. It acts on the same receptors
as heroin and morphine, but has a limited effect that does not increase with
an increased dose. It relieves drug cravings and withdrawal symptoms
without producing an intense "high" or dangerous side effects. While
buprenorphine is being used, other opioids will have little to no effect,
minimizing the risk of sudden or impulsive return to opioid use.
Buprenorphine represents a positive aiternative for opioid addiction
treatment because it:
➢ rapidly reduces or eliminates withdrawal symptoms, often within an
r hour. Without medical assistance with buprenorphine, withdrawal is
experienced as 3-6 days of severe flu -like symptoms. This keeps many
people addicted to opioids actively involved in illicit drug use to avoid the
withdrawal experience.
➢ is available by prescription from specially trained physicians in primary
care and other office -based settings. This allows for increased access to
opioid treatment, thus providing an alternative for those who are
concerned about going to a methadone clinic, and helps reduce stigma by
bringing addiction treatment into the primary care setting.
�F 0 Physicians who have met the requirements and are authorized to treat
patients with buprenorphine are listed by state on SAMHSA's Treatment
Locator website: httbu prenor hine.samhsa. ov bwns locator/-
Buprenorphine therapy is comprised of three phases:
➢ Induction: medically monitored startup of buprenorphine therapy. The
individual has abstained from using short -acting opioids for a minimum
of 8-12 hours and demonstrates clinical signs of moderate withdrawal.
If the patient is not in the early stages of withdrawal (i.e., if he or she
has other opioids in the bloodstream), then the buprenorphine dose
could precipitate acute withdrawal.
D Stabilization: patient has discontinued or greatly reduced use, no
longer has cravings, and is experiencing few or no side effects. The
dose may need to be adjusted during the stabilization phase.
➢ Maintenance: patient is doing well on a steady dose of buprenorphine.
The length of the maintenance phase is individualized and may be
indefinite.
➢ Medically supervised withdrawal may be considered after a sufficient
period of maintenance and once stabilization has been achieved.
NIDAATTC
Primary counseling and adjunctive medical management are critical in
providing the most effective treatment with buprenorphine.
Counselors should take care to work with, not against, the medication.
Counseling with a focus on "getting off' buprenorphine can convey the idea
that taking the medication is somehow wrong. Instead, counselors should
support patients' medication compliance, framing it as one aspect of a
comprehensive treatment plan.
Patients and physicians will decide together about the option to use
Y.
buprenorphine- Ideal candidates who may benefit from this medication:
-' • have been diagnosed with opioid addiction,
• are capable of self-administering medication on a daily basis and
participating in counseling and other support services necessary for
recovery,
• are willing to follow safety precautions for treatment (e.g., safe storage,
not sharing medication, not abusing benzodiazepines, etc.),
• have no contraindications (e.g., co -ingestion of alcohol, co -ingestion of
certain central nervous system depressants), and
o agree to treatment with buprenorphine after a review of treatment
options.
Ongoing care coordination between the physician, counselor, community
support provider, and self-help/12-step program is essential.

METHADONE:
Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) can help injection drug users (IDUs) reduce or stop
injecting and return to productive lives. (IDU HIV Prevention, CDC, February 2002)
ethadone is a synthetic, long -acting medication that has been used to treat
opioid addiction for over 40 years. A Schedule II controlled substance,
Methadone is a mu -receptor opioid agonist. Also known under the brand
names Dolophine® and Methadoser", methadone is a legal, well -tested medication. A
bending ini6caiivel. potent analgesic, methadone is highly effective in reducing morbidity and mortality
wsCz•S::un5R
associated with opioid addiction. The medication is taken orally either in tablet, liquid
or dispersible tablet (diskette) form. With an onset of action within 30 minutes and
an average duration of action of 24 to 36 hours, methadone only needs to be taken
once a day for the treatment of opiate abuse. When prescribed for the treatment of
chronic pain, methadone is typically dosed 3 times per day.
Methadone for opioid addiction treatment can only be dispensed in specially licensed
outpatient maintenance treatment programs or medically supervised withdrawal
programs. Oversight of these Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) is a tripartite system
0 HE including states, SAMHSA, and the U.S. Department of Justice/Drug Enforcement
Administration. Opioid treatment programs (OTPs) are not available for treatment in
all states (see http://www.dpt.samhsa.gov/treatment/t--reatmentindex.aspx for an
_ R DTP Directory). Authorization for take-home medication is left to the discretion of
the program's medical director according to eight criteria specified in 42 CFR part 8,
12 (i) (e.g., length of time the patient has been in treatment, regularity of clinic
attendance, continued opioid abstinence).
As methadone was developed for persons with significant histories of heroin
addiction, it is not appropriate for individuals who used opioids occasionally. Current
i addiction to an opioid drug and a one-year history of addiction is necessary for
admission to maintenance treatment. According to 42 CFR, the first initial dose of
methadone should not exceed 30 milligrams (mg) and a total dose for the first day
shall not exceed 40 mg. Patients who abused diverted medical opioids alone may
require a lower initial dose [42CFR 8.12 (h)(2)(c)].
A patient's response to treatment determines her or his progression through the
stages of methadone treatment. studies suggest that the duration of retention in
treatment is directly related to success in outcome (Gerstein et al., 1994; French et
. a[., 1993; French & Zarkin, 1992; Gerstein & Harwood, 1992; Hubbard et al_, 1989;
w9'0 Simpson et al., 1986*). As there are no limits on duration or dosage level, a major
goal for programs is to retain patients for as long as the can benefit from treatment
g P g P g Y
and express a desire to continue. Research has shown that compared to those on
lower doses, patients on higher doses (60-120 mg daily) stay in treatment longer, use
less heroin and other drugs, and have lower incidence of HIV infection.
The Stages of Methadone Treatment are as Follows:
lnitiaf Treatment Period:
➢ :First day dosing not to exceed 30-40 mg
➢ Entails intensive assessment and intervention
➢ Requires vigilance over rapid dosage increases due to methadone's half-life and
degree of tolerance
A Necessitates daily dosing at the OTP
➢ Lasts from 3-7 days
Early Stabilization:
➢ Patient can become eligible for take home medication within 90 days
➢ Periodic assessment of the most appropriate combination of treatment and services is provided
➢ Lasts from the third to the seventh day of treatment untii the eighth week
Long-term Treatment:
➢ Clinical stability typically achieved at doses between 80-120 mg/day
➢ Occurs from the end of stabilization and lasts for an indefinite period of time
Medically Supervised Withdrawal:
➢ only conducted if and when appropriate as some patients may require lifelong maintenance
➢ Tapering is conducted graduaily at a rate that is well tolerated by the patient, is in accordance with sound
clinical judgment, and is conducted under the supervision of a physician
A Goal is to achieve the elimination of physical dependence to opioid medications
g Patients are apprised of the high risk of relapse to illicit drug use associated with discontinuation of
methadone maintenance treatment
The major risks of methadone are often related to over or under medication, These can include respiratory
depression and, to a lesser degree, systemic hypotension. The most frequently observed side effects to the
medication include lightheaciedness, dizziness, sedation, nausea, weight gain, vomiting, and sweating.
As a medication, methadone is effective. in:
• blocking the euphoric and sedating effects of opiates
• relieving the craving for opiates (a major factor in relapse)
• relieving symptoms associated with withdrawal from opiates
• eliminating the euphoria or intoxication allowing a person to work
• improving individual functioning including family and other social relationships
• reducing HIV infection
-p Further, patients enrolled in an OTP receive medical, counseling, vocational, educational and other assessment and
treatment services. Methadone is currently the recommended treatment for opioid-addicted pregnant women,
when properly used, methadone is considered relatively safe for the fetus. By participating in an OTP, pregnant
i patients receive necessary prenatal care and other gender specific services either by the OTP or by referral to
appropriate healthcare providers.

ABOUT METHADONE TREATMENT
Methadone Treatment -- or "opiate substitution' treatment — is an outpatient service for individuals
addicted to heroin or other opiates. Under this approach, state -funded and accredited opiate substitution
treatment agencies provide counseling and daily or near -daily administration of methadone or other
approved substitute drugs. Patients also receive education, random urine drug screening to monitor
drug use, and are subject to stringent rules regarding compliance, Methadone treatment is distinct from
"drug free" treatment for opiate addiction. "Drug free" programs do not dispense methadone or other
approved substitute drugs to persons addicted to opiates. A 'drug free" treatment program may occur in
a residential or outpatient setting. Residential modalities are generally highly structured and include
intensive inpatient and long-term residential treatment. Intensive inpatient treatment typically lasts 21 to
28 days while long-term residential treatment lasts 90 days or longer.
Compared to clients receiving "drug free" treatment for opiate addiction, clients in methadone
treatment tend to have more years of regular heroin use prior to treatment, more intense use of heroin in
the 30 days prior to treatment, and greater dependence on income acquired through illegal activity.6
s Cost offsets were estimated using regression models in which the effects of covar ales (age, gender, racelethnicity, baseline medical
expenditures, dual eligible status) were controlled. Cost offsets are measured relative to untreated clients,

Methadone Treatment for Ooiate Addiction 3
Longer Stays In Methadone Treatment Reduce The Risk Of Criminal Re -Arrest
And Conviction
Stays in methadone treatment of more than 90 days are associated with a reduced risk of
re -arrest or conviction. Methadone treatment stays over one year are associated with
particularly dramatic reductions. Staying in methadone treatment 90 days or less is
associated with an increased risk of re -arrest or conviction, which may reflect the effect of
arrests or convictions in terminating treatment, or increased criminal activity that may
follow relapse in use and premature exit from treatment.
■ Compared to untreated opiate addicts, the risk of re -arrest is 18 percent higher for
persons who stay in methadone treatment for 90 days or less, but is 10 percent lower
for those in treatment 91 to 365 days and 61 percent lower for those who stay more
than one year.?
■ Compared to untreated opiate addicts, the risk of a felony conviction is 53 percent
higher for persons in methadone treatment for 90 days or less, 63 percent lower for
opiate addicts in methadone treatment 91 to 365 days, and 83 percent lower for
those in methadone treatment for more than one year.
■ Similarly, the risk of any conviction is 27 percent higher for persons who stay in
methadone treatment for 90 days or less, 43 percent Iower for opiate addicts in
methadone treatment 91 to 365 days, and 72 percent lower for those who stay in
methadone treatment for more than one year.

4 Methadone Treatment for Opiate Addiction
TECHNICAL NOTES
This paper examines "cost offsets" — costs avoided for clients already receiving treatment or potential
savings that might be realized by treating the untreated — of Medicaid medical, mental health, and long-
term care costs among opiate addicts who were treated with methadone. The paper also examines
criminal arrest and conviction outcomes among persons addicted to opiates who enter methadone
treatment. The criminal justice analyses are restricted to clients with prior criminal histories.
The study population included clients who received Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits at
some time between July 1997 and December 2001 and who were identified as having a substance
abuse problem based on administrative records. The SSI program provides cash and medical
assistance to persons with little or no income who are unable to work due primarily to disability. Results
of the original studye and comparisons for stimulant drug abusers9 and those with opiate addictions
who participated in drug free chemical dependency treatmentIc are also available from the authors.
The need for treatment for these clients was identified through events recorded in administrative data.
Information used to identify a -need for treatment included medical diagnoses or procedures;
detoxification, assessment, or alcohol or drug (AOD) treatment encounters; and arrests for drug or
alcohol -related offenses. Clients were included in the analysis only if they had at least one month of
medical assistance eligibility both before and after the index event" indicating a need for ACID
treatment.
For this report, a subset of 3,354 persons was identified as opiate -dependent by the presence of:
■ Heroin, non-prescription methadone, prescribed opiate substitutes, or other opiates and synthetics
as pdmary, secondary, or tertiary drug of abuse in TARGET records."
• Diagnosis of opiate abuse or dependence in Medicaid claims data.
Medicaid costs of opiate -addicted clients receiving methadone treatment were compared with costs of
opiate -addicted clients who remained untreated. Offsets were estimated using regression models to
control for the effects of covariates such as age, gender, racelethnicity, and baseline medical
expenditures.

Heroin Trends ,Across Washington State
June 2013
W- -hington, like much of the United Staten has seen increases in the use and harms associated with heroin. Because direct measure-
t of heroin use is difficult, various indicator data are used instead. Police evidence provide a dose to real time picture of what is
available on the street. Treatment data tend to Sag behind heroin availability and onset of use by several years. Deaths are a lagging
indicator as well, though King County data show an increase in deaths involving heroin among those under 30 in 2012, indicating that
- the lag may not be as long as expected. The rate of all opiate deaths (heroin and/or lax -type) has nearly doubted in the past decade.
For some, abuse of prescription -type opiates (e.g. morphine, oxycodene, methadone) leads to heroin uses` so preventing Inappropriate
use of prescription (Rx) opiates is important. All opiate overdoses can be prevented and most can be reversed before they become fa-
tal. This report summarizes the most recent data available for heroin and includes information about resources to Delp people prevent
and treat opiate addiction and prevent fatal overdoses.
Police evidence testers by the State Crime Lab
The past decade has seen an overall decline in the amount of
�

evidence sent to the state crime lab for testing. Heroin and Rx-
type opiates are the exception. Ric -type opiates peaked In 2009

communities in recent years.

Infectious diseases can be spread via injection drug use
Washington state has a low prevalence and incidence of HIV among injec-
tion drug users (IDU) which is related to our longtime and widespread sy-
ringe exchange programs dating back to 1988. Hepatitis B and C can be
spread more easily than HIV via injection drug use. In king County 75% of
IDU's have Hepatitis C. Hepatitis C diagnoses from 2009-2011 indicate that
some of the highest rates are also in counties where heroin Indicators are
the highest; however, current data on risk factors related to hepatitis in-
fection are unavailable.
