Judge Jurado reported that Renton now requires anyone arrested on a domestic violence charge to appear before the court prior to being allowed to post bail. Doing so gives time for the police report to be completed so when the offender does appear before the court,the presiding judge can better determine whether a no-contact order is appropriate before the offender is released. He noted that no studies have been done to determine whether counseling helps offenders reduce or stop their violent actions. Ms. Marshall added that the Victim Court Advocate's duties include the following: assist the prosecutor in domestic violence cases; contact each victim and remain in contact for the duration of the case; accompany victims to court; take photographs of victims; order and review 911 tapes; work with victims to ensure they have a safety plan; refer victims to appropriate service organizations; and work with the Police Department on individual cases and to develop and implement the depaitiuent's domestic violence training sessions. Assistant City Attorney Stephanie Dikeakos explained that her job primarily consists of prosecuting domestic violence cases. She emphasized that the work of the Victim Court Advocate is crucial to her office, and she relies on this person in many ways. Tracey Thomas,Victim Court Advocate,reiterated that she works exclusively on domestic violence issues. She noted that in some cases she is able to secure information from victims which they may not be willing to share with police; for example,correspondence they have received from the offender while the defendant is incarcerated. Responding to Council President Parker,Judge Jurado said most domestic violence cases involve misdemeanors such as simple assault,harassment or malacious mischief. He noted that anything involving"serious bodily injury" constitutes a felony,but this term is not well-defined and therefore, subject to interpretation. Felony cases are forwarded to the King County Superior Court. In response to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, Chief Anderson confirmed that State law requires an arrest be made within four hours (if possible) after the responding officers determine that a crime has been committed. Audience comment was invited. Victoria Gilliam, 201 Union Ave.,Renton, 98056, said as a victim of domestic violence she can attest to the need for police officers to have specific training in how to sensitively respond to these situations. Saying that an intern was used to prosecute her case, she cautioned that those with less experience must be carefully supervised to ensure that all victims receive the same degree of service and protection under the law. Expressing disappointment that the Victim Court Advocate was unavailable to attend her trial,Ms. Gilliam concluded that offenders should not receive treatment in lieu of punishment by imprisonment. There being no further audience comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

Zoning: Residential Multi- This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Family Urban Amendments accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider the proposed Residential Multi-Family Urban(RM-U)Zoning Code June 7, 1999 `"oir" Renton City Council Minutes Page 203 amendments. Mike Kattermann,Director of Neighborhoods& Strategic Planning,explained that the proposed changes would affect the downtown area commonly referred to as South Renton as well as the area south of the Cedar River and north of downtown. The purposes are to improve design and provide short-term regulation of parking locations for individual residences. They were prompted by concerns with"box-type"attached multi-family units and infill development which positions garages in front of a home's primary entry. Design guidelines are proposed to achieve development that better fits existing neighborhoods. Continuing,Mr.Kattermann said the proposal emphasizes alley access for vehicles. If no alley is available,parking would be allowed in the rear or on the side. Front parking would be allowed only on lots too narrow to preclude other possibilities. Also,minimal design standards would be adopted to require modulation every 40 feet, certain private residential entry features,and garage setbacks(two feet from the home's primary facade). The amendments would also lower the threshold triggering design review from 100 dwelling units per acre to 25 units per acre. Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Mr. Kattermann noted that this matter is still in the Planning&Development Committee where it will remain pending a final recommendation to the full Council. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1999 and beyond. Items noted included: * A comprehensive listing of public meetings in Renton can now be found on-line at the City's web site. * The City's Resource Directory for outside service organizations and agencies is now available in Russian and Spanish in addition to English. * Over 100 senior citizens joined 250 McKnight Middle School students at a dance and party held at McKnight on June 2nd, where a good time was had by all. * Wal-Mart employees donated over$2,000 to the Police Department's Chaplaincy Committee,which provides emergency services to persons in need of housing, food and clothing. AUDIENCE COMMENT Marge Richter, 300 Meadow Ave.N.,Renton, 98055,expressed strong Citizen Comment: Richter— disagreement with the City's decision to allow a single family house to be New Single Family Dwelling constructed between Factory Ave.N. and Factory Pl. N. Producing a drawing at 308 Factory Ave N which shows that the house has access only off of the alley located between these streets, she questioned how and why the City approved this. Mrs. Richter refuted the claim of the builder that a different house had existed at this location previously, saying that no house nor any garage or even a storage shed was at this site. Emphasizing that even though the builder has permits to build only five houses, he is building six, she concluded that the City should fine the builder and not allow him to finish constructing this house, since doing so would constitute an illegal use of the alley.

These changes will allow staff to provide more comprehensive review of applications as an interim solution to growth pressures in the downtown area. The amendment includes the following provisions: • lowers the threshold triggering design review from 100 dwelling units per acre to 25 dwelling units per acre, • establishes a pre-application requirement, • requires use of alley access where existing alleys are available, • requires parking in the side and rear yards unless lot width is too narrow to allow this parking location, • requires front loaded garages to be set back a minimum of 2 feet from the front façade of the primary structure, and • establishes modulation and entry standards for residential structures. These code amendments are proposed to reduce the occurrence of "cookie cutter" and "big box" multi-family developments,which do not create the type of quality housing that the City desires.

Marilyn to s n City Clerk Published South County Journal May 28, 1999 Account No. 50640 4 May 24, 1999 '""' Renton City Council Minutes \ Page 193 The City's offer of the$60,000 payment is an incentive for business owners to expedite the relocation of their business out of Zone 1 of the Aquifer Protection Area by the end of 1999, thereby reducing the risk of contamination of the aquifer. The relocation incentive was not intended to compensate for all relocation costs or to buy out existing businesses. Staff will work with the applicant and the applicant's lending institution to assure that funds are available for use consistent with City Code and with the administrative rules regarding the business relocation assistance program. All agreements related to the disbursement of funds will be subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney. (The minority committee report follows.) Public Works: Tony's Utilities Committee Chair Clawson presented a minority committee report Cleaners Relocation regarding Tony's Cleaners business relocation incentive. The Committee met Assistance(Aquifer Protection twice to consider the request from Tony's Cleaners for an increase in business Regulations) relocation incentive and for the disbursement of payment prior to incurring relocation expenses. A minority of the committee recommended the following: 1. Authorize an increase in the total relocation incentive from the current maximum limit of$60,000 to$74,000; and 2. Not disburse the relocation incentive payment until the applicant submits verification of relocation expenses. As an alternate, the City can deposit the remaining balance of relocation incentive funds into an escrow account. The funds can only be disbursed to cover the costs incurred by the applicant as allowed by the business relocation assistance program administrative rules. With Council concurrence,the Chair further requested that the Administration prepare an ordinance for Council's consideration that would amend the City Code to raise the maximum relocation incentive to $74,000. (See later this page for Council action on the majority committee report.) Councilman Clawson felt that the proposal to increase the funds paid to Tony's Cleaners from$60,000 to $74,000 was reasonable and a fairly good solution to this situation. He emphasized that the$14,000 under discussion,while not a large amount to the City, would nonetheless be of great consequence to the owners of Tony's. Councilman Parker said although he supported the minority committee report when this matter was first brought before Council two weeks ago,he now believed that it was a question of fairness. Noting that all the businesses who were potentially affected by the Aquifer Protection regulations were given the same information describing the relocation incentive program,he added that the City has allowed businesses plenty of time to relocate under this program. Mr. Parker concluded that he now supported the majority committee report. MOVED BY SCHLITZER, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL APPROVE THE MAJORITY COMMITTEE REPORT.* Responding to Councilman Edwards, Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler confirmed that one condition of the administrative rule on this matter states that Tony's must maintain a business presence in Renton in order to qualify for the incentive program. The owners can accomplish this by simply having a"drop shop"where customer orders continue to be processed although the actual drycleaning is done elsewhere. *MOTION CARRIED.

These proposed changes Zoning Code Changes would make several procedural changes in the zoning text. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY SCHLITZER,COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Planning: Convenience Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Commercial (CC)Zone regarding the proposed development agreement and covenants for the area of Changes the Taco Time headquarters, and proposed amendments to the Convenience Commercial(CC)zone. First,based on the adopted Planning&Development Committee report from January 4, 1999, staff has prepared proposed amendments to the CC zone office allowances as well as minor amendments to accessory storage in all commercial and industrial zones. A public hearing is needed in relation to the proposed amendments. Second,also based on the adopted committee report, staff in conjunction with the City Attorney have prepared a proposed development agreement for the Taco Time corporation and property owner. The development agreement is based on the ultimate adoption of CC zone amendments regarding allowances for existing, legal administrative headquarters offices with minor parking and square footage allowances. The agreement would include Environmental Review Committee mitigation measures. Since the proposed development agreement changed substantially since the time of the Planning Commission's public hearing last September 1998, another public hearing should be held. Last, as another implementation of the last adopted committee report,the City Attorney has prepared covenants for the Conrad properties to be redesignated from Residential Single Family/R-8 to Residential Options/R-10. Other covenants have been prepared related to ERC mitigation measures for the Cedar River Barbershop and Market which would be redesignated from Residential Single Family/R-8 to Convenience Commercial (CC). The Planning and Development Committee also recommended two public hearings be held on the same evening for the CC zone amendments,and for the proposed Taco Time development agreement. The recommended hearing date for both items would be June 14, 1999. The Committee also recommended approval of the proposed covenants for the Conrad and the Cedar River Market and Barbershop properties. MOVED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED. Councilman Schiltzer explained that his "no"vote reflected his opposition to the expansion of the Taco Time headquarters building,which was approved by Council in January. Development Services: Planning&Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Bethlehem Lutheran Church regarding the request from Bethlehem Lutheran Church for tree clearing. This Tree Clearing(Variance issue was heard by the committee on May 20, 1999. Mr. Larry Holcomb, Request) representing Bethlehem Lutheran Church(1024 Monroe Ave.NE),had requested that the Council allow the church to vary from the Land Clearing and Tree Cutting Ordinance by permitting the removal of 24 cottonwood trees simultaneously,rather than at the rate of six trees per year as allowed by Code. Four potential options were identified: 1. The church could apply for a hearing examiner variance from the Land Clearing and Tree Cutting Ordinance in order to allow the simultaneous clearing of 24 trees.
