Adding that the City's required matching funds are proposed to be transferred from the account meant to purchase property in the May Creek corridor, he said using these monies for the Black River parcel would not leave enough funds to pursue acquisition of the May Creek parcel. Saying that the Black River parcel is not comprised of pristine, natural open space, Mr. Edwards concluded that the City should abandon this acquisition, and instead pursue the purchase of the May Creek parcel as envisioned in Renton's long-range open space plan. Councilman Parker replied that although certain open space funds were indeed earmarked for acquisition of the May Creek parcel, the City has repeatedly been unable to negotiate a fair price for this purchase. Given that the May Creek acquisition is not currently feasible, he felt it would be best to use the funds for the Black River Tract A parcel, especially since these funds must be used this year to avoid the risk of having them revert to King County for use elsewhere. Continuing, Mr. Parker said the Tract A purchase is viable and realistic, and the parcel borders current Black River open space properties. He did not consider it prime commercial property and suggested that it could be difficult to develop. Mr. Parker concluded that the City should act on this opportunity to acquire the Tract A parcel at what may be a below-market price, emphasizing that King County has already prioritized additional monies for this acquisition.

EXHIBIT A & _(CYNnp- \se\ ‘111/ kb C2D hal 4, INTO R EN TO N AUTOMALL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AUTOMALL IMPROVEMENT PLAN The City of Renton has an opportunity to be a pro-active partner with auto dealers and property owners to create a high-profile and successful concentration of auto dealerships in the City. Concept: Renton auto dealers approached the City several years ago and promoted the idea of creating a destination district to sell cars, trucks and motorcycles. The City Council responded by directing staff to work with property owners and area auto dealers on this issue. A task force was formed to put together a plan of action to redevelop an area into a finished Automall. The concept of the Automall emerged as a destination retail district that draws auto-related regional sales as well as more dealerships to Renton. This project, in part, created the initiative to bring the Good Chevrolet, Sound Mazda and Pierre dealerships into the area. The more recent Saturn and Honda dealerships support the Automall concept and strengthen this area as a center for auto-oriented retail activity. The Automall Improvement Plan (Plan) can act as a promotional tool for the City. Area: The Task Force identified Area A- between Lind Ave S, SW Grady Way, Rainier Ave S and I-405 for an Automall because it has good freeway access and visibility and because it is characterized by older development which has redevelopment potential. This area is well located in comparison to existing dealerships in the downtown. However, the plat pattern in the area is fragmented into many small lots which are difficult to assemble for conversion to commercial use. The initial Automall designation also included an Area B. Area B is the district to the north bounded by SW Grady Way, Lind Ave SW, the railroad rights-of-way, and Shattuck Ave S. Area B consists mostly of commercial development including auto dealerships with limited redevelopment potential. Both Area A and Area B are described in the zoning code (Section 4-31-10.4) as a potential Automall. Since the adoption of that code (February 1995), the City narrowed the scope of the Plan to include only Area A because much of the land in Area B is already assembled and commercial uses are established on it. The Plan only addresses Area A at this time. However, the Plan could be expanded and tailored to Area B after Area A is established. Benefits: Creation of an Automall in Renton is expected to: * Increase auto sales and therefore increase the sales tax base for the City, * Improve and increase values of existing underdeveloped properties, * Create predictable, cohesive, and uniform development standards to make development easier to accomplish, * Provide convenient comparison shopping and activities supporting auto sales, and * Provide a distinct shopping area with good freeway access. Policy Support: The Renton Comprehensive Plan supports the Automall Improvement Plan. The following policies encourage Renton to creatively promote retail activity in ways that increase sales tax base and encourage redevelopment of the existing Commercial Arterial (CA) Zone. Economic Development: ED-A. Use public resources efciently to leverage economic development. ED-B. Expand the retail and office base within the City. ED-8. Increase the retail sales tax base of the City. ED-12. Create a tool box of incentives for example, retail overlay zone, tax increment financing, marketing, etc. to encourage retail development. Land Use: LU-AA. Provide for commercial and residential 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. LU-169. Individual parcels should be encouraged to consolidate to maximize flexibility of site design and reduce access points. LU-176. Increased demand for commercial uses should be accommodated through redevelopment and intensification of Employment Area - Commercial designations rather than expansion of those areas. Downtown: DT-20. automobile sales and service uses which require large amounts of land should be encouraged to locate in an "auto mall" outside of the downtown or to consolidate their sites and provide multi- storied facilities. How It Works: This Plan guides and promotes retail activity in the Automall area. It should be used as a development guide whenever the City proposes improvements or reviews private proposals for the area. Compliance with the Plan will assure projects coordinate and contribute to the completion of the Automall. The Automall area is expected to redevelop as depicted on the Map. Major dealerships will be operating, the street configuration and standards will be completed, street vacations will be executed as needed to assembly property, and perimeter landscaping will be installed. By using this Plan, a property owner could find opportunities to assembly more property, and take advantage of adjacent Rights-of-ways to gain more usable land. Developers could also predict design standards for streets, and perimeter landscaping. Zoning: The Plan is implemented as a subcategory (Section 4-31-10.4F) within the Commercial Arterial (CA) Zone. When a project is proposed for development in the Automall, the code determines the permitted uses and development standards. The Plan is referred to as a guide to assure that proposals fit within the overall Automall vision. 2 • *411110 Components: The Automall Improvement Plan includes three components. 1) Map - The map (Exhibit A) illustrates both existing conditions and shows how the Automall area might develop in the future. It depicts the standard for future perimeter landscaping, allowed rights-of-way vacations, final street configuration and circulation. The map also locates possible signage, gateway, and banners, and pedestrian connections. 2) Model - The model is a 3-dimensional representation of the Map. The model will be on display in the City of Renton's Development Services Division. 3) Narrative - The narrative includes descriptions of the Automall location, and the intent of the City in establishing the Automall. It includes an objective and description for each of the Plan elements with actions necessary to implement the Plan. Goal: To create an Automall area which redevelops into a cohesive and distinct area for the sale of vehicles and other auto-related uses located between Lind Ave SW and Rainier Ave S and between SW Grady Way and I-405. Elements: 1. Incentive for Redevelopment Objective: Encourage the redevelopment and assembly of smaller parcels to make larger land areas available for Automall uses. Discussion: Parcel assembly is a pre-requisite of redevelopment in the designated area because the land area is fragmented into many small parcels and ownerships. Historically, this condition discouraged private efforts to assemble land. The City cannot anticipate accurately how and which properties will assemble, but it can offer financial incentives to encourage private efforts. In March 1995, the City Council created a process to waive street vacation costs for car dealerships or other specified uses as defined in the zoning code. The Plan identifies which City rights-of-ways are eligible for fee waiver vacations and establishes guidelines for administrative processes. The rights-of-way vacation program will create two major benefits: 1) make more land available in a reconfigured plat pattern, and 2) reduce the overall cost of property acquisition. The City anticipates that revenue generated from car sales will increase as a result of this Plan. Action: Designate by ordinance which rights-of-way are eligible for future street vacations within the Automall. These vacations would also be eligible for waiver of fees. Establish a process for administrative approval of vacation petitions of these designated rights- of-way. This administrative process would be an exception to the typical city-wide policy and would not require public hearings and City Council action on individual vacation petitions which conform to the Automall Improvement Plan. The public hearing and City Council action on these vacations will occur when the ordinance designating eligible rights-of ways is approved. The rights-of-way that can be vacated according to this process are generally: 1) All of SW 13th Street; 2) Maple Ave SW from SW Grady Way to SW 12th St. - 12 feet on each side; 3) 3 All of Maple Ave SW from the alley between SW 13th and SW 12th St. to SW 13th St.; 4) SW 12th St. west of the east turn circle - 12 feet on each side; 5) All of SW 12th St. from the east turn circle to Rainier Ave S.; and 6) All alleys within the Automall area. Administrative Procedure for Rights-of-Way Vacations A. Property Services completes a master appraisal for the entire Automall. B. Property Services processes all private and City initiated applications (all fees waived) for vacations. C. City staff review applications to insure that the proposal conforms to the adopted plan, and that access to individual properties is maintained and does not impede street configuration and public safety. Comments are given to Property Services. D. Property Services provides an appraisal reconciliation for each application, transfer of title, and final report with recommendations. The applicant will provide legal description and map exhibits for City review. The City Clerk provides requisite notice to adjacent property owners and interested parties. E. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator reviews and approves final report. F. Transfer of Property Ordinance adopted by City Council. 2. Transitions from Existing Uses Objective: Assure access, continued use and provision of services for all properties within the designated area during the transition to the Automall. Discussion: The intent of the Plan is that redevelopment will occur in phases. In all cases, the City will assure access to individual properties and businesses during the transition period. For example, if Sound Mazda is developed (Exhibit A), its main access will be through SW 12th Street. The street east of the proposed turn circle will not be vacated because other residential and commercial uses also need the access to their property. In addition, the proposed improvements to that section of SW 12th Street will be delayed until properties are assembled so that access to the eastern end is not needed. The City will support using partial and/or half street vacations to maintain access to existing uses during the transition period. The attached Plan illustrates the existing conditions, and the final rights-of-way and street configurations. Access is planned so that auto circulation can be coordinated and so that property owners can anticipate and plan for development. Action: Maintain City services to existing uses in the Automall. Use Site Plan and SEPA review processes to insure that health and safety standards are maintained and that access is provided to existing uses. 4 • 3. Street Circulation Objective: Improve SW 12th St. and Maple Ave. SW streets to modify the rights-of- way width and length, provide turn circles, general customer parking area and consolidate access drives. Discussion: The Plan Map depicts the final configuration of streets in the Automall. This includes streets, rights-of-way and roadway widths, sidewalks, turn circles radii, and a general customer parking area. Perimeter and internal traffic flow, traffic signals and lane channels are coordinated so that the circulation of cars is smooth and does not worsen conditions at major intersections. This design is intended to provide easy access from SW Grady Way and Lind Ave SW into the Automall area. Once in the area the streets are reduced in width to provide land area that can be vacated. A second purpose of the reduced street width is to slow traffic. The turn circles are designed to allow people to easily maneuver either to return to another dealership or exit the area. An example of this concept is shown in Exhibit A and B. Turn circle dimensions fit within the existing rights-of-way and can be negotiated by firetrucks. If necessary, there is the potential for the City to develop an additional street connection from the eastern turn circle out to SW Grady Way. The Plan includes a western turn circle with an island and monument sign to accommodate advertising. Adjacent to this circle is a parking area for customers who may want convenient access to several dealers so they can comparison shop without parking again. The Plan depicts the alignment and dimensions of these streets. In all cases finished streets will have minimum widths of 24 feet from curb to curb and sidewalks have 5 feet from inside of curb. Both turn circles will have 30 foot circle radii. Land for sidewalks around the circles will be assured from the remainder of the rights-of-way and/or private property necessary to accomplish the design. This street configuration is coordinated with the potential rights-of- way vacations. If a street improvement project designated on the Plan abuts a private property line, private property owners will be responsible for those improvements. The City will not require standard street improvements within the designated Automall area which are not shown on the Plan. Action: Improve SW 12th Street and Maple Ave SW with a turn circle, sidewalks, street lighting, customer parking, and traffic signals in the public Right of Way. Opportunities for joint access to parking areas should be addressed through Site Plan Review. Improvements could be made by property owners, City capital improvements projects and local improvement districts or a combination of the three. 4. Pedestrian Connections Objective: Encourage a pedestrian walkway system that connects throughout the Automall. Discussion: A clear and designated walkway encourages people to walk and comparison shop. Individual development can make pedestrian connections directly from one property to the next and connect parking areas to dealerships. The specific alignment will 5 depend on how each site development is proposed. A sidewalk located along both sides of SW 12th Ave. allows people to move from their car to different dealerships. Action: Work with the developers, as development proposals are submitted, to incorporate walkway connections within each site and connect adjacent buildings. Implementation of this element will occur through the Site Plan Review process. 5. Perimeter Landscaping Objective: Encourage perimeter landscaping to match the landscaping on the north side of SW Grady Way with a 15 foot wide, 30 inch high grass berm and Red Maples placed 25 feet on center. Discussion: Large-scaled and consistent landscaping along the Automall perimeter is needed to give the area a cohesive image, mirror adjacent landscaping and define the boundary of the Automall. Most of the perimeter landscaping is in the existing rights-of-way. A limited amount of dedicated private property would be needed to fulfill this objective. As with all development, the property owner is responsible for installation and maintenance. Flexible requirements are necessary to meet the intent of this element because the grade drops down from SW Grady Way into the Automall area. For example, a bermed landscape, as prescribed, would be ineffective 6 feet below street grade. The City should work with the property owner to find reasonable alternatives to meet this element's objective without requiring excessive costs. Landscaping in the interior of the Automall includes all area inside the Perimeter Landscaping. On-site Development Standards (Element 6) addresses landscaping in the Automall interior. Action: Work with developers, as proposals are submitted, to incorporate perimeter landscaping as intended through the Site Plan Review process. 6. On-Site Development Standards Objective: Encourage flexible requirements that allow interior landscape areas to be consolidated to enhance building and site entries. Discussion: The perimeter landscaping described in Element 5 will provide a significant amenity at the boundary of the Automall and can help unify the entire district. As a result, a more flexible standard can be used for interior landscaping within specific projects. The objective of interior landscaping should be to encourage higher quality treatment at project and building entries. For example, a developer could consolidate a mass of plant materials at site entries and building fronts rather than scatter a larger amount of landscaping throughout the site in small planters. Consolidated landscaping would result in a more effective site plan without increasing the amount of required landscaping. The amount of landscaping required to qualify for this flexible treatment should be determined in the zoning code. Action: Work with the developers, as development proposal are submitted, to consolidate landscaping within each site to enhance the Automall through the Site Plan Review process. 6 • 1yr 7. Gateway and Banners into the Automall Objective: Promote and enhance a gateway at Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way and establish banners along the perimeter that call attention to the Automall as a cohesive and attractive area. Discussion: City staff identified a potential gateway entrance to Renton and the Automall at the intersection of Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way. Road improvements at Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way, which include traffic signals, will be installed as development in the Automall occurs. A bridge structure could be used to accommodate traffic signals, Automall signs, and other graphics. Innovative treatment of the signage at this location could turn a standard traffic signal into a gateway feature. The Automall could be further identified and enhanced by placing banners mounted on light poles along SW Grady Way and other major arterials adjacent to the Automall where dealerships exist. An example of this concept is shown in Exhibit C. Banners along the Automall boundary would signal to the driver that they are entering a distinctive section of the city. Action: Seek contributions from adjacent dealerships, and funding from the City to design, manufacture and install signage, art, and graphics to a traffic signal bridge (without interference to signals) over the intersection at SW Grady Way and Maple Avenue S. Action: Seek contributions from adjacent dealerships and funding from the City to design, manufacture and install banners along the Automall perimeter and other contiguous dealerships. 8. Location of Possible Signs Objective: Promote the Automall as an attractive destination retail area by coordinating signs within and extending signs outside the Automall. Discussion: Signs are important for business identification. This Plan envisions three types of signs for the Automall: directional, Automall identification, and dealer identification. An I-405 sign advertising a retail district is rare, however, such signs do exist for the Olympia Automall and Bellevue Square. A similar sign may be possible for Renton. Signage at the gateway entry would be designed to create an entry to Renton and to identify the Automall. Signage in the proposed turn circle would also provide directional information or advertising for individual dealers. Automall businesses will provide their own individual identification. A signage program which coordinates number, height, and size of signs is needed to enhance the quality of Automall developments. Action: Lobby the Washington State Department of Transportation for signs on I-405 approaching the Rainier Ave S./State Route 167 exits. 7 Action: Encourage surrounding dealerships to contribute to the gateway (intersection of SW Grady Way and Maple Ave SW) and monument signs (intersection of Maple Ave SW and SW 12th Street). Action: Develop a signage plan in coordination with auto dealers. • h:ldiv\p&ts\pin\pcohenlrecdoc2 8 LX.Hllill A . %moo NW S - ( /NIV& w s W o 0 o s J ° W O 44 1 1 = j W W Q C 1 ■ fflui `y. 1 < ` w s / � �` , 1 a / J Q '.

Schlitzer VIA: r Mayor Jesse Tanner FROM: Gregg Zimmerman, Administrator (9- PlanningBuilding/Public Works Department STAFF CONTACT: Mike Kattermann(ext. 6190) SUBJECT: Automall Code Amendments ISSUE: To review and make final recommendations for Automall code amendments and amend the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone to allow limited bus sales. RECOMMENDATION: • Make final recommendations to the City Council regarding Automall code amendments (attached). BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The Committee of the Whole referred the related code amendments, with the added issue of allowing bus sales within limited locations near the Automall, to the Planning and Development Committee for their recommendation. Initially, staff presented and Council considered limiting bus sales to an area within 600 feet of the Automall perimeter. After some discussion, Mayor Tanner suggested allowing bus sales in CA zones south of SW Grady Way. The concern is that a 600 foot perimeter around the Automall would encourage bus sales in CA zones north of SW Grady Way. CA zones south of I-405, however, would be suitable for bus sales (see attached map). An additional issue is whether truck, RV and mobile homes sales should also AUTOORD.DOC/ Page 2 3/22/96 be allowed. These uses are allowed in the Light Industrial (IL) zone but not the CA. They have similarities to buses in terms of size and noise. The attached code language only allows bus sales. Staff is seeking Council direction on whether to include an expanded list of uses similar to buses in the CA zone amendments. CONCLUSION: Make final recommendations to the City Council regarding Automall code amendments (attached). AUTOORD.DOC/ 41.

SPECIAL Karen Marshall, Housing & Human Services Manager, introduced four new PRESENTATION members of the City's Human Services Advisory Committee, which is charged Introduction of Human with: assisting in identifying human service needs; assisting in the allocation of Services Advisory funds to meet those needs; developing recommendations for comprehensive Committee Members programs; and advising staff, the Administration and the City Council on issues of concern to citizens. The Committee's newest members are Jim Dykes, Carrie Amankwah, Margie Albritton and Vivian Pappas. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Zoning:,Automall in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public Improvement Plan & hearing to consider the Automall Improvement Plan and related Zoning Code Related Zoning Code amendments - property bounded by Rainier Ave. S., I-405, Lind Ave. SW, Amendments and SW Grady Way; consideration of expansion of the automall area to the west of Lind Ave. SW, and expansion of the allowed uses. Rebecca Lind, Principal Planner, explained that the Automall Improvement Plan is made up of three distinct components: a map, a model, and a narrative description contained in the public hearing handouts available to the audience this evening. She briefly reviewed the eight primary plan elements, as follows: 1) the provision of incentives for redevelopment in the area (e.g., vacations of rights-of-way); 2) assurance of access, continued use and provision of City services for all properties during the transition to the Automall; 3) redesigning of the area's street circulation to facilitate configuration of new uses; 4) support for pedestrian connections between dealerships for retail shoppers; 5) incorporation of perimeter landscaping March 11. 1996 "4 " Renton City Council Minutes " Pane 82 design through the site plan review process; 6) consolidation of interior landscaping for each site via flexible development standards; 7) establishment of gateway and banner locations to call attention to the Automall; and 8) promotion of the Automall through coordination of interior and exterior sign locations. Continuing, Ms. Lind said the plan will be implemented via Code amendments, and by designating those rights-of-way eligible to be vacated. After these rights-of-way are designated, an administrative process for approving only these vacations will be adopted. Ms. Lind noted that although the Planning Commission supports the overall concept of the Automall Improvement Plan, it did have some concerns regarding its implementation. Issues remaining to be resolved are as follows: 1. Interior landscaping. Staff has proposed a 2.5% minimum of gross area landscape requirement, not including perimeter landscaping, and that administrative modifications to interior landscaping not be allowed. 2. Truck unloading and maneuvering. Staff has concluded that using interior rights-of-way for unloading cars is feasible, and that on-site unloading should not be required. 3. Bus sales in the Automall. Staff recommends bus sales be allowed in the CA zone as a secondary use, but restricted to sites within 600 feet of the Automall boundaries. Mayor Tanner suggested that if Council wants to allow bus sales in this area, these be limited to an area south of Grady Way. Commenting on the expected effects of truck unloading on interior rights-of-way and on the potential conflict with the proposed interior signage that resembles a traffic circle, he asked whether staff has considered removing this obstruction. Ms. Lind agreed that this directional sign is primarily an amenity, and it could be removed if it were deemed impractical. She added that the Fire Department was comfortable with the placement of this sign, having determined that its rolled curbs and broad base will allow large trucks to maneuver around it. Responding to Councilman Clawson, Ms. Lind confirmed that the plan provides for sidewalks along Grady Way. Audience comment was invited. C.A. Staley, PO Box 3407, Federal Way, 98003, was concerned about the additional traffic the Automall will generate in this area, and said the alley between Grady Way and SW 12th St. should be reserved for residential rather than business use. She also felt that loading and unloading of trucks should not be permitted on public streets, but be restricted to dealership parking lots. She was concerned that removed trees in this area will not be replaced with anything but shrubs, and suggested that bus sales not be allowed in this already-congested area; the City honor all agreements relating to ingress and egress on Grady Way; a 25-mph speed limit be imposed on Grady Way from Lind Ave. to Rainier Ave.; and a traffic light be installed at Maple Avenue. Councilman Corman asked for staff response to Ms. Staley's concerns about a potential sewer latecomer agreement in this area. Neil Watts, Plan Review Supervisor, replied that Sound Mazda has proposed a latecomer agreement for future users of a sewer line the dealership must install to develop its property. Although the residential homes in this area all currently use septic systems, March 11, 1996 Renton City Council Minutes Pane 83 none would be required to hook up to the new sewer line unless their septic system failed or their property was redeveloped. Responding to Ms. Staley's comments on the use of the alley between SW 12th and Grady, Mr. Watts explained this is a publicly-owned alley. A current development proposal includes plans for an employee parking lot that could be accessed either off of the alley or off of SW 12th. Roy Ballestrasse, 4440 Preston-Fall City Rd., Fall City, WA, inquired whether the City paid for the recent extension of this alley. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman replied that although City crews constructed the alley extension, it was paid for by Sound Mazda through transportation mitigation fees. Responding again to Mr. Ballestrasse, Mr. Zimmerman said the portion of the alley that lies inside the State right-of- way along SR-167 will be dead-ended. Responding to Mr. Ballestrasse, Jana Huerter, Land Use Review Supervisor, said Sound Mazda will unload cars in a parking lot off of SW 12th Street, adjacent to the proposed dealership. Howard Sheridan, representing Good Chevrolet, felt the required perimeter landscaping of 15' was moderately excessive. He added that he did not expect loading and unloading to be a serious problem since most of this is done in the morning and it only takes about 15 minutes. Rich Snyder, representing Sound Mazda, confirmed that Sound Mazda will have to use a portion of the alley between Grady and SW 12th, although not the entire length of it. He expressed surprise at concerns regarding the unloading of vehicles, saying this process does not take long and it is usually done in the early morning when traffic is light. Bob Bridge, representing Bob Bridge Toyota, thanked Council for taking a pro-active view on the Automall concept. He was disappointed, however, that he had not been previously consulted on this issue, and said that as an auto dealer located outside of the Automall area he would like for the City to promote all of Renton and extend the same consideration to all businesses. Michael Catt, 8952 - 121st SE, Newcastle, 98056, stated he represented owners of Automall-area property and other interested parties. He refuted claims that property values in this area have decreased, saying that in fact, values have dramatically increased in the last 18 months. Bob Sterbank, 1325 - 4th Ave. #1500, Seattle, 98101, representing Warren Vaupel and the North Renton/Kennydale Neighborhood Defense Fund, said bus sales should not be allowed in the Arterial Commercial (CA) zone, noting these have traditionally been characterized as an industrial use. He feared that allowing bus sales in the CA zone to whatever degree would create a precedent, and noted that some Medium Industrial (IM) zoned properties exist near the Automall where such sales would already be allowed and where, in his opinion, they should stay. C.A. Staley, PO Box 3407, Federal Way, 98003, raised several questions including whether competitive bids are required for facilities built under latecomer agreements and whether affected citizens could solicit such bids. Saying that she personally has waited as long as 30 minutes for a vehicle carrier to unload, she agreed that bus sales should remain in industrial areas.

CARRIED. Development Services: This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Growth Management- in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public Mandated Changes to hearing to consider the proposed ordinance to comply with House Bill 1724, Permit & Appeal Processes State Growth Management mandates, by: consolidating permit applications, establishing a 120-day permit processing time requirement and a maximum processing time for Environmental Impact Statements, and revising the appeal process and notification requirements. Jana Huerter, Land Use Review Supervisor, explained that the State is requiring all local governments to adopt, by March 31, 1996, a combined environmental review and project review process to integrate and streamline various existing regulatory processes. Ms. Huerter reviewed the three minor changes to Renton's regulatory processes resulting from the State requirements, as follows: 1. Changes in the format describing the combined permit process for environmental, land use and building permits. (Renton already allows applicants to apply for all needed applications simultaneously.) 2. Codification of the new mandates regarding public notice requirements. Renton's notification procedures do not require significant change. 3. Slight changes to the City's application submittal requirements, including transferring these to a table format. Ms. Huerter then reviewed the two major changes that are required to the City's regulations, as follows: 1. Per State mandates, appeal opportunities for combined permit applications will be reduced from three to two. 2. The City must process all non-exempted development permits within 120 days of accepting a completed application. Renton typically processes the affected permits in an average of 90 days. Ms. Huerter noted changes that will have to be made in the future to ensure compliance with the State law: 1. Housekeeping changes to reflect the review and appeal procedures, and the processing time, throughout the Code. 2.

RECOMMENDATION: 1. Direct staff to prepare a resolution adopting the Automall Improvement Plan(2/16/96 draft) and to prepare an ordinance adopting the implementing code amendments (3/5/96 draft) included in this packet. 2. Refer the implementing code amendments to the Planning and Development Committee for review of final legal language. 3. Direct staff to prepare an amendment to the CA zoning designation allowing bus sales within 600 feet of the Automall perimeter boundaries. BACKGROUND/SUMMARY: On February 19th the Council Committee of the Whole reviewed the Automall Improvement Plan and set the public hearing date for March 11, 1996. The Committee also raised several issues regarding: A) Bus sales in the Automall; B) Truck unloading and maneuvering; and C) On-site landscaping requirement. Toni Nelson, Council President, & Council Members March 4, 1996 Page 2 A. Allowing Bus Sales in Automall - A bus retailer asked the Council to consider expanding the Automall boundary to the west and allow bus sales in the CA zone. This request could be accommodated in one of three ways: 1) allow bus sales in the CA zone; or 2) allow bus sales only in the Automall and expand the Automall boundary; or 3) allow bus sales within a certain proximity to the Automall. 1) Allowing bus sales in the CA Zone would have city-wide ramifications since bus, truck and heavy equipment sales have been traditionally categorized as industrial uses. Currently the CA Zone does not permit bus sales. Staff does not recommend this option because it would allow this use in all CA designated areas throughout the city. 2) Allowing bus sales in the interior of the Automall would deplete the amount of land available for automobile sales and detract from the purpose of the Automall as a retail center for comparison shopping. Expansion of the Automall could bring the Saturn dealership and properties south to I-405 into this designation. The ongoing strategy of the Automall Plan has been to concentrate improvements and incentives in a smaller area and develop a successful Automall prior to expanding the area. Staff does not recommend this option because it would alter the character and implementation of the Automall in a way that could result in fewer automobile dealerships. 3) Allowing bus sales in the CA zone as a secondary use limited to sites within 600 feet of the Automall boundaries would maintain the purpose and character of the Automall, meet the needs of the request, and address concerns raised with the other options. Staff recommends this option. B. Truck Unloading and Maneuvering- The Planning Commission raised the concern that trucks which unload cars into dealerships cause traffic problems because they typically park on the street during unloading. In addition, there is concern about whether trucks can maneuver in and out of the final Automall interior street system. Staff believes that the issue of truck parking can be handled either by: 1) allowing unloading on interior Automall streets; or 2) allowing limited parking on Automall streets; or 3) requiring on-site unloading. Staff was not able to contact a car hauler as Council suggested. However, we spoke with a car dealer who assures us that the 24 foot rights-of-way and turning radii proposed in the Plan are adequate. Staff also learned that the car carriers typically hold up to 8 cars and require about 15 minutes to unload. Though the City code prohibits the unloading of goods in public rights-of-way(RMC 4-14-5), this practice still occurs. Since the Automall interior streets will ultimately have a very specific purpose and clientele, the City could allow limited hours and specify locations for unloading only on interior streets. While this option seems to offer a simple and practical solution, it does not address conflicts that would occur with non-automall uses that remain in the area. In addition, staff feels that it would be difficult to enforce this provision. The Planning Commission recommended that on-site unloading be required. The City can ensure through the site plan review process that there is adequate space for unloading vehicles Toni Nelson, Council President, & Council Members March 4, 1996 Page 3 on-site. Staff recommends that site plan review be retained as the most appropriate means of addressing this issue. This approach would not require any additional code amendments. However, the Council could amend the Automall Plan to emphasize that this issue should be evaluated as part of the site plan review process. C. On-Site Landscaping Requirement - The Planning Commission raised the issue of whether on-site landscaping requirements were adequate. The Committee of the Whole asked if the proposed on-site landscape requirement was reviewed by potential auto dealers. Staff has reviewed the Automall Improvement Plan with auto dealers who own property or are interested in Automall property. There has been no public comment from these property owners regarding the proposed landscape requirement. In establishing the minimum 2.5% of gross area landscape requirement, staff measured the three active proposals in the Automall. The 2.5% is most closely modeled after the Good Chevrolet landscape design. The Planning Commission was concerned that the amount of landscaping required in the interior of the Automall would not result in and support quality development. The Commission requested both a higher landscape standard and a limitation on administrative modifications of landscape requirements. Staff has modified the proposed landscaping amendment to reflect the concern of the Planning Commission without using their specific language recommendations. The new language does not allow administrative modifications to landscaping interior to the Automall. Modification to the perimeter landscaping is still allowed. Flexibility is needed because there are significant grade differences between SW Grady Way and the Automall interior parcels. Separate Hearing for Automall Street Vacations - The City Attorney has advised staff that in order to follow state guidelines for notification of street vacations, it would not be possible to hold the public hearing on the vacations concurrent with the hearing on the Automall Improvement Plan. Staff is preparing a separate notice so that the public hearing on street vacations throughout the Automall can be held soon after the adoption of the plan. CONCLUSION: After consideration of the concerns about bus sales in the Automall area, staff concludes that accommodating this use within the CA zone with strict limitation on location is a viable alternative. After review of the options for truck unloading, staff concludes that using interior rights-of-way for unloading is feasible and that on-site unloading should not be required. The landscaping standards within the Automall interior are revised to address the Planning Commission's concerns about project quality, but are still flexible enough to meet the needs of car dealers. cc: Sue Carlson Jim Hanson h:\div\p&ts\pin\autoissl.doc CITY OF RENTON AUTOMALL IMPROVEMENT PLAN MARCH 1996 Draft 1 02/16/96 AUTOMALL IMPROVEMENT PLAN The City of Renton has an opportunity to be a pro-active partner with auto dealers and property owners to create a high-profile and successful concentration of auto dealerships in the City. Concept: Renton auto dealers approached the City several years ago and promoted the idea of creating a destination district to sell cars, trucks and motorcycles. The City Council responded by directing staff to work with property owners and area auto dealers on this issue. A task force was formed to put together a plan of action to redevelop an area into a finished Automall. The concept of the Automall emerged as a destination retail district that draws auto-related regional sales as well as more dealerships to Renton. This project, in part, created the initiative to bring the Good Chevrolet, Sound Mazda and Pierre dealerships into the area. The more recent Saturn and Honda dealerships support the Automall concept and strengthen this area as a center for auto-oriented retail activity. The Automall Improvement Plan (Plan) can act as a promotional tool for the City. Area: The Task Force identified Area A - between Lind Ave S, SW Grady Way, Rainier Ave S and I-405 for an Automall because it has good freeway access and visibility and because it is characterized by older development which has redevelopment potential. This area is well located in comparison to existing dealerships in the downtown. However, the plat pattern in the area is fragmented into many small lots which are difficult to assemble for conversion to commercial use. The initial Automall designation also included an Area B. Area B is the district to the north bounded by SW Grady Way, Lind Ave S, the railroad rights-of-way, and Shattuck Ave S. Area B consists mostly of commercial development including auto dealerships with limited redevelopment potential. Both Area A and Area B are described in the zoning code (Section 4-31-10.4) as a potential Automall. Since the adoption of that code (February 1995), the City narrowed the scope of the Plan to include only Area A because much of the land in Area B is already assembled and commercial uses are established on it. The Plan only addresses Area A at this time. However, the Plan could be expanded and tailored to Area B after Area A is established if this specialized designation needs to be expanded. Benefits: Creation of an Automall in Renton is expected to: * Increase auto sales and therefore increase the sales tax base for the City, * Improve and increase values of existing underdeveloped properties, * Create predictable, cohesive, and uniform development standards to make development easier to accomplish, -1- Draft 1 02/16/96 * Provide convenient comparison shopping and activities supporting auto sales, and * Provide a distinct shopping area with good freeway access. Policy Support: The Renton Comprehensive Plan supports the Automall Improvement Plan. The following policies generally encourage Renton to creatively promote retail activity in ways that increase sales tax base and encourage redevelopment of the existing Commercial Arterial (CA). Economic Development: ED-A. Use public resources efficiently to leverage economic development. ED-B. Expand the retail and office base within the City. ED-8. Increase the retail sales tax base of the City. ED-12. Create a tool box of incentives for example, retail overlay zone, tax increment financing, marketing, etc. to encourage retail development. Land Use: L U-AA. Provide for commercial and residential 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. LU-169. Individual parcels should be encouraged to consolidate to maximize flexibility of site design and reduce access points. LU-176. Increased demand for commercial uses should be accommodated through redevelopment and intensification of Employment Area - Commercial designations rather than expansion of those areas. Downtown: DT-20. automobile sales and service uses which require large amounts of land should be encouraged to locate in an "auto mall"outside of the downtown or to consolidate their sites and provide multi-storied facilities. How It Works: This Plan guides and promotes retail activity in the Automall area. It should be used as a development guide whenever the City proposes improvements or reviews private proposals. Compliance with the Plan will assure that projects are coordinated and contribute to the evolution of the Automall concept. The final form of the Automall envisions the area to redevelop as depicted on the Map. Major dealerships will be operating, the street configuration and standards will be completed, street vacations will be executed as needed to assembly property, and perimeter landscaping will be installed. By using this Plan, a property owner could find opportunities to assembly more property, and take advantage of adjacent Rights-of- -2- Draft 1 02/16/96 ways to gain more usable land. Developers could also predict design standards for streets, pedestrian connections and perimeter landscaping. Zoning: The Plan is implemented as a subcategory (Section 4-31-10.4F) within the Commercial Arterial zone district. When a project is proposed for development in the Automall, the code determines the permitted uses and development standards. The Plan is referred to as a guide to assure that proposals fit within the overall plan. Components: The Automall Improvement Plan includes three components. 1) Map - The map (Exhibit A) illustrates both existing conditions and shows how the Automall area might develop in the future. It depicts the standard for future perimeter landscaping, allowed Rights-of-way vacations, final street configuration and circulation. The map also locates possible signage, gateway, and banners, and pedestrian connections. 2) Model - The model is a 3-dimensional representation of the Map. The model will be on display in the City of Renton's Development Services Division. 3) Narrative - The narrative includes descriptions of the Automall location, and the intent of the City in establishing the Automall. It includes an objective and description for each of the Plan elements with actions necessary to implement the Plan. Goal: To create an Automall area which redevelops into a cohesive and distinct area for the sale of vehicles and other auto-related uses located between Lind Ave SW and Rainier Ave S and between SW Grady Way and I-405. Elements: 1. Incentive for Redevelopment Objective: Encourage the redevelopment and assembly of smaller parcels to make larger land areas available for commercial uses. Discussion: Parcel assembly is a pre-requisite of redevelopment in the designated area because the land area is fragmented into many small parcels and ownerships. Historically, this condition discouraged private efforts to assemble land. The City cannot anticipate accurately how and which properties will assemble, but it can offer financial incentives to encourage private efforts. In March 1995, the City Council created a process to waive street vacation costs for car dealerships or other specified uses as defined in the zoning code. The Improvement Plan identifies which City Rights-of-ways are eligible for fee waiver vacations and establishes guidelines for administrative processes. The Rights-of-way vacation program will create two major benefits: 1) make more land available in a reconfigured plat pattern, and 2) reduce the overall cost of property acquisition. The City anticipates that revenue generated from car sales will increase as a result of this Plan. -3- Noire Draft 1 02/16/96 Action: Designate by ordinance which Rights-of-ways are eligible for future street vacations within the Automall. These vacations would also be eligible for waiver of fees. Establish a process for administrative approval of vacation petitions of these designated Rights-of-ways. This administrative process would be an exception to the typical city-wide policy and would not require public hearings and City Council action on individual vacation petitions which conform to the Automall Improvement Plan. The public hearing and City Council action on these vacations will occur when the ordinance designating eligible Right-of Ways is approved. The Rights-of-ways that can be vacated according to this process are: 1) All of SW 13th Street. 2) Maple Ave SW from SW Grady Way to SW 12th St. - 12 feet on each side. 3) All of Maple Ave SW from the alley between SW 13th and SW 12th St. to SW 13th St. 4) SW 12th St. west of the east turn circle - 12 feet on each side. 5) All of SW 12th St. from the east turn circle to Rainier Ave S. and 5) All alleys within the Automall area Administrative Procedure for Rights-of-Way Vacations A. Property Services completes a master appraisal for the entire Automall. B. Property Services processes all private and City initiated applications (all fees waived) for vacations. C. City staff review applications to insure that the proposal conforms to the adopted plan, and that access to individual properties is maintained and does not. impede street configuration and public safety. Comments are given to Property Services. D. Property Services provides an appraisal reconciliation for each application, transfer of title, and final report with recommendations. The applicant will provide legal description and map exhibits for City review. The City Clerk provides requisite notice to adjacent property owners and interested parties. E. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator reviews and approves final report. F. Transfer of Property Ordinance adopted by City Council. 2. Transitions from Existing Uses Objective: Assure access, continued use and provision of services for all properties within the designated area during the transition to the Automall. Discussion: The intent of the plan is that redevelopment will occur in phases. In all cases, the City will assure access to individual properties and businesses during the transition period. For example, if Sound Mazda is developed (Exhibit A), its main -4- Draft 1 02/16/96 access will be through SW 12th Street. The street east of the proposed turn circle will not be vacated because other residential and commercial uses also need the access to their property. In addition, the proposed improvements to that section of SW 12th Street will be delayed until properties are assembled so that access to the eastern end is not needed. The City will support using partial and/or half street vacations to maintain access to existing uses during the transition period. The attached Plan illustrates the existing conditions, and the final rights-of-ways and street configurations. Access is planned so that auto circulation can be coordinated and so that property owners can anticipate and plan for development. Action: Maintain City services to existing uses in the Automall. Use Site Plan and SEPA review processes to insure that health and safety standards are maintained and that access is provided to existing uses. 3. Street Circulation Objective: Improve SW 12th St. and Maple Ave. SW streets to modify the Rights-of-way width and length, provide turn circles, general customer parking area and consolidate access drives. Discussion: The Plan Map depicts the final configuration of streets in the Automall. This includes streets, Rights-of-way and roadway widths, sidewalks, turn circles radii, and a general customer parking area. Perimeter and internal traffic flow, traffic signals and lane channels are coordinated so that circulation of cars is smooth and does not worsen conditions at major intersections. This design is to provide easy - access from SW Grady Way and Lind Ave S. into the Automall area. Once in the area the streets are reduced in width to provide land area that can be vacated and to slow traffic so that people can choose where to shop. The turn circles (Exhibit B) are designed to allow people to easily maneuver either to return to another dealership or exit the area. Turn circle dimensions fit within the existing rights-of-way and can be negotiated by firetrucks. If necessary, there is the potential for the City to develop an additional street connection from the eastern turn circle out to SW Grady Way. The Plan includes a western turn circle with an island and monument sign to accommodate advertisement. Adjacent to this circle is a parking area for customers who may want to comparison shop without driving and parking again. The Plan depicts the alignment and dimensions of these streets. In all cases finished streets will have roadway widths of 24 feet from curb to curb and sidewalks have 5 feet from inside of curb. Both turn circles will have 30 foot circle radii. Land for sidewalks around the circles will be assured from the remainder of the rights-of-way and/or private property necessary to accomplish the design. This street configuration is coordinated with the potential rights-of-way vacations. If a street improvement project designated on the Plan abuts a private property line, private property owners will be responsible for those improvements. The City will not require standard street improvements within the designated Automall area which are not shown on the Plan. -5- Draft 1 02/16/96 Action: Improve SW 12th Street and Maple Ave SW with a turn circle, sidewalks, street lighting, customer parking, and traffic signals in the public Right of Way. Opportunities for joint access to parking areas should be addressed through site plan review. Improvements could be made by property owners, City capital improvements projects and local improvement districts or a combination of the foregoing. 4. Pedestrian Connections Objective: Encourage a pedestrian walkway system that connects throughout the Automall. Discussion: A clear and designated walkway encourages people to walk and comparison shop. Individual development can make pedestrian connections directly from one property to the next and connect parking areas to dealerships. The specific alignment will depend on how each site development is proposed. A sidewalk located along the north side of SW 12th Ave allows people to move from their car to different dealerships Action: Work with the developers, as development proposals are submitted, to incorporate walkway connections within each site and connect adjacent buildings. Implementation of this element will occur through the Site Plan Review process. 5. Perimeter Landscaping Objective: Encourage perimeter landscaping to match the landscaping on the north side of SW Grady Way with a 15 foot wide, 30 inch high grass berm and Red Maples placed 25 feet on center. Discussion: Large-scaled and consistent landscaping along the Automall perimeter is needed to give the area a cohesive image, mirror adjacent landscaping and define the boundary of the Automall. Most of the perimeter landscaping is in the existing Rights-of-way. A limited amount of dedicated private property would be needed to fulfill this objective. As with all development, the property owner is responsible for installation and maintenance. Flexible requirements are necessary to meet the intent of this element because the grade drops down from SW Grady Way into the Automall area. For example, a bermed landscape, as prescribed, would be ineffective 6 feet below street grade. The City should work with the property owner to find reasonable alternatives to meet this element's objective without requiring excessive costs. Action: Work with developers, as proposals are submitted, to incorporate perimeter landscaping as intended through the Site Plan Review process. 6. On-Site Development Standards -6- Draft 1 02/16/96 Objective: Encourage flexible requirements that allow interior landscape areas to be consolidated to enhance building and site entries. Discussion: The perimeter landscaping described in Element 5 will provide a significant amenity at the boundary of the Automall and can help unify the entire district. As a result, a more flexible standard can be used for interior landscaping within specific projects. The objective of interior landscaping should be to encourage higher quality treatment at project and building entries. For example, a developer could consolidate a mass of plant materials at site entries and building fronts rather than scatter a larger amount of landscaping throughout the site in small planters. Consolidated landscaping would result in a more effective site plan without increasing the amount of required landscaping. The amount of landscaping required to qualify for this flexible treatment should be determined in the zoning code. Action: Work with the developers, as development proposal are submitted, to consolidate landscaping within each site to enhance the Automall through the Site Plan Review process. 7. Gateway and Banners into the Automall Objective: Promote and enhance a gateway at Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way and establish banners along the perimeter that call attention to the Automall as a cohesive and attractive area. Discussion: City staff identified a potential gateway entrance to Renton at the Automall boundary adjacent to Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way. Establishing a workable design for this gateway will be a challenge given the intensive land use and traffic patterns established in the area. However, road improvements at Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way which include traffic signals should be installed as development in the Automall occur. A bridge structure could be used to accommodate both these signals and Automall signs and other graphics. Innovative treatment of the signage at this location could turn a standard traffic signal into a gateway feature. The Automall could be further identified by placing metal banners mounted on light poles on both sides of SW Grady Way (Exhibit C). Banners along the Automall boundary would signal to the driver that they are entering a distinctive section of the city. Action: Seek contributions from adjacent dealerships, and funding from the City to design, manufacture and install signage, art, and graphics to a traffic signal bridge (without interference to signals) over the intersection at SW Grady Way and Maple Avenue South. Action: Seek contributions from adjacent dealerships and funding from the City to design, manufacture and install banners along the Automall perimeter and other contiguous dealerships. -7- Draft 1 02/16/96 The Planning Commission recommended to change the two Actions for Element 7 to "Require" rather than "Seek" contributions. S. Location of Possible Signs Objective: Promote the Automall as an attractive destination retail area by coordinating signs within and extending signs outside the Automall. Discussion: Signs are important for business identification. This Plan envisions three types of signs for the Automall: directional, designation identification, and dealer identification. The Automall Map shows effective locations for directional signs on I- 405. An I-405 sign advertising a private development is rare, however, such signs do exist for the Olympia Automall and Bellevue Square. A similar sign may be possible for Renton in the future. Signage in the proposed turn circle would also be directional for individual dealers. Signage at the gateway entry is designed to give identity to the entire Automall. Automall businesses will need individual identification. A signage program which coordinates number, height, and size of signs is needed to enhance the quality of Automall developments. Action: Lobby the Washington State Department of Transportation for signs on I-405 approaching the Rainier Ave S./State Route 167 exits. Action: Encourage surrounding dealerships to contribute to the gateway (intersection of SW Grady Way and Maple Ave SW) and monument signs (intersection of Maple Ave SW and SW 12th Street). Action: The City should develop a signage plan in coordination with auto dealers. -8- EXHIBIT A-r-N.,.

Amend the Rights-of-Way City Code 9-14 as described below to be consistent with the Automall Improvement Plan: Administrative Procedure for Rights-of-Way Vacations Section 9-14-11 Exemption: In the Automall area, bounded by SW Grady Way, Rainier Ave S, Lind Ave SW and I-405,vacations of rights-of-ways, or portions of, will be processed under the following steps: A. Property Services completes a master appraisal for the entire Automall. B. Property Services processes all private and City initiated applications (all fees waived) for vacations. C. City staff review applications to insure that the proposal conforms to the adopted plan, and that access to individual properties is maintained and does not impede street configuration and public safety. Comments are given to Property Services. D. Property Services provides an appraisal reconciliation for each application, transfer of title, and final report with recommendations. The applicant will provide legal description and map exhibits. The City Clerk provides requisite notice to adjacent property owners and interested parties. E. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator reviews and approves final report. F. Transfer of Property Ordinance adopted by City Council. 2. Amend City Code 4-31-10.4F3 to refer to the"Automall Improvement Plan (Area Al" rather than the Rights-of-Way Improvement Plan (Area A and B). 3. Amend City Code 4-31-10.4F2.a- landscape standards for the Automall area to be flexible and consistent with requirements for auto sales uses in the CA zone. The Automall code requires a 15 foot landscape strip between street sidewalks and curbs with no administrative exemption. The CA zone generally requires a landscaping strip of a least 15 feet for lots abutting a public street. However, automobile sales may be exempted from this landscape requirement if the Zoning Administrator finds "there are practical difficulties" in applying this code provision. A more specific process and minimum standard is needed in the zoning code to create predictability while ensuring flexibility. Section 4-31-10.4F.2a. - Landscaping: -9- w Draft 1 03/05/96 a) A minimum 2.5% of the gross site area shall be provided on site as the only landscaping requirement interior to the Automall area. This landscaping shall be consolidated and located at site entries, building fronts, or other visually prominent locations as determined through Site Plan Review. This requirement is separate from the Perimeter Landscaping designated in the Automall Improvement Plan Map which borders along Lind Ave SW, SW Grady Way and Rainier Ave S. b) Perimeter landscaping shall be provided at a standard of a 15 foot wide, 30 inch high grass berm and Red Maples placed 25 feet on center. The perimeter Landscaping may be accomplished using Right-of-Way width in combination with abutting private property. c) Administrative modification of landscape requirements allowed under Section 4- 31-10.4F.2a are applicable only to Perimeter Landscape standards within the Automall. Seetien-ean-be-feleeated-anfl-elustered-at-site-and-building-entries-if-there-are-minimum ems. The Planning Commission recommended modifying Code Amendment 4 as follows: Section 4-31-10.4F.2a Landscaping- The required frontage landscaping along public streets, interior to the Automall area(and not proposed for vacation), defined in subsection D6 of this section, can be relocated and consolidated at site entries, pedestrian areas, and areas visible from public rights of way. All required landscaped areas shall be a minimum of 400 sq. ft. Administrative reductions of this required landscaping shall be limited up to a maximum of 25% which overrides Code section 4- 3 1-10.4.D.6.c(2). Staff's Recommendation: Staff has modified its first draft of this amendment to reflect the concern of the Planning Commission, that landscaping not be severely compromised as to detract from the Automall development. The proposed amendment does not allow administrative modifications to landscaping interior to the Automall. Modifications to the Perimeter Landscaping is for the purpose of making the requirement more flexible around grade differences along SW Grady Way where landscaping requirements may be ineffective and unreasonable. The Planning Commission has recommended additional code amendments for the Automall section of the Code. Pedestrian Links - Site plan shall accommodate inter site pedestrian paths consisting of special paving patterns, i.e. brick or other durable materials, having a minimum of width of 6 ft. and extending from both property boundaries to the main entrances of the facility. -I0- Draft 1 03/05/96 Staff's Recommendation: The Commission's recommendation is too specific when the purpose of the Plan is to be more flexible. The Site Plan Review process is the appropriate venue for the City to achieve the Pedestrian Connection objective. The final street design includes sidewalks that will assure basic pedestrian circulation. Staff does not concur with the Commission's recommendation. Public Announcement Systems -Loud speakers, horns and other audible announcement systems shall be strictly prohibited. Staff's Recommendation: The Automall is in an area without residential zoning where the noise from I-405 already exists. If this becomes an issue the City has the noise ordinance to mitigate noise impacts. Staff does not concur with the Commission's recommendation. Light and Glare- General, specialty and building lighting shall contain glare and light spillage within the property lines. Staff Recommendation: The City currently requires the containment of light and glare spillage through the SEPA and Site Plan Review processes. Staff does not concur with the Commission's recommendation. Landscaping adjacent to I-405 Right-of-Way-Landscaping shall be a minimum of 2 1/2" caliber trees at 50' on center along I-405 on the southern edge of the Automall. Staff's Recommendation: Since the approval of the Good Chevrolet and Jamie Pierre dealerships along I-405 the modification would affect a much reduced boundary. Staff suggest that after the Automall is completed and the City decides this landscaping is necessary then it can initiate the installation of the trees. Staff does not concur with the Commission's recommendation. Loading/Unloading- Dealerships provide space on their own property for loading and off-loading their vehicles. Loading and unloading should not be done on the public streets. Staff's Recommendation: Staff agrees that this could become an issue. However, the issue of unloading of vehicles should be addressed through the enforcement of Code that prohibits it on streets and through the Site Plan Review process. Review could either require on-site unloading or designating areas in the interior streets of the Automall - if this issue becomes a problem. Staff does not concur with the Commission's recommendation. Gateway, Banners and Signs - The City require contributions from adjacent dealerships to facilitate design and implementation of Automall signage, art and graphics identifying the Automall in public areas. -11- Draft 1 03/05/96 Staff's Recommendation: Requiring contributions may become a disincentive to locate in the Automall. The City may want to provide incentives and seek different sources of contributions (including from property owners) in a second phase of Automall improvement. Staff does not concur with the Commission's recommendation. Parking- Customer parking stalls as required by Code should be designated by painted pavement. Staff's Recommendation: The requirement exists for dealerships to provide and designate customer parking. Assuring that this requirement is met is a Code enforcement issue. Staff does not concur with the Commission's recommendation. h:\d iv\p&ts\pin\pcohen\recdoc l.doc -12- War CITY OF RENTON NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING RENTON CITY COUNCIL NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Renton City Council has fixed March 11, 1996, at 7:30 p.m. as the date and time for a public hearing to be held in the second floor Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building, 200 Mill Avenue South, Renton 98055, to consider the following: Automall Improvement Plan and related Zoning Code Amendments - Property bounded by Rainier Avenue South, I-405, Lind Avenue SW, and SW Grady Way; consideration of expansion of the automall area to the west of Lind Avenue SW and expansion of the allowed uses.

Warren, City Attorney FROM: Marilyn Petersen, City Cler SUBJECT: Automall Street Vacations I have prepared the legal notice for the Automall Improvement Plan scheduled for March 11, 1996. Paul Cohen has requested that consideration of proposed street vacations be included in the notice. He advises that numerous street vacations are pending in the Automall area and the hearing in March would constitute the only public hearing held on all future vacations in that general area. I explained the legal requirements (both RCW and Renton City Code) which must be followed when the City Council vacates public right-of-way, and indicated that public hearings have been held previously on three vacations in that area. Tom Boyns has confirmed that in addition to these three vacations, only one additional vacation is proposed in the distant future. Are you aware of this matter? If so, I would appreciate your opinion on the proposed change in procedure. Signed petitions have not been submitted to the clerk, nor resolutions adopted by the Council setting the hearing, not to mention the lack of specific information about the location of the property to be vacated. The legal notice for the public hearing must be faxed to the Valley News no later than 10 a.m. on Wednesday, February 28th. Thank you for addressing this matter. cc: Jay Covington February 19. 1996 Renton City Council Minutes Page 57 Citizen Comment: Correspondence was read from Jeff Crockett, Emmett Koelsch Coaches Inc., Crockett - CA Zone PO Box 3265, Redmond, WA, 98073, stating his interest in purchasing Exception Request (Auto property located in the Auto Mall area and asking that an exception be made Mall Area) for Bus Sales to the Arterial Commercial (CA) zone to allow the sale and distribution of buses.

Planning/Building/Public Works Department Jesse Tanner,Mayor Gregg Zimmerman P.E.,Administrator February 19, 1996 Mayor Jesse Tanner City Councilmembers City of Renton 200 Mill Avenue South Renton,WA 98055 Dear Mayor and Councilmembers: You will be reviewing the final Automall Improvement Plan with our recommendations on February 19, 1996. The Planning Commission has been involved with the Automall concept since its inception in mid 1994. We were a part of the initial task force which made recommendations about the Automall in late 1994, and reviewed the Automall Code amendments that were adopted in early 1995. We conducted an Open House for the conceptual Automall Improvement Plan in November 1995, and now have completed our review of the final Automall Improvement Plan. At the Open House members of the public expressed concern about loading and unloading vehicles on public streets,overnight parking of trailers, parking on landscaped areas, and noise from loudspeakers. The Planning Commission has always been supportive of the Automall concept and intent. We are supportive of the Automall Improvement Plan that you have before you. We are concerned, however, that the actions to implement this Plan are not sufficient or strong enough to ensure a project that the City can be proud of. We are concerned that the implementing action and code amendments provide great incentives to redevelop this area without requiring the basic development standards to make this area an attractive example of city initiated development. This area is in a highly visible location that is a major entry into the City. The development standards are less than we require of other development in the same CA zone. Our concerns are: 1. that this area will look like a sea of cars with few amenities, 2. that the backsides of the autodealers businesses will face toward I-405, and 3. noise and loading/unloading vehicles will become a nuisance for the public. The improvements and standards that we think are essential and minimum require little more land area (much less than what we are giving in vacations),do not detract from car display needs and require only to design more thoughtfully. Though the City can require these improvements through Site Plan Review, they are not mandated. • 200 Mill Avenue South - Renton, Washington 98055 ®This paper contains 50%recycled material,25%post consumer Letter to Mayor and Counc February 19, 1996 Page 2 The quality of a project varies depending on how the site plan review process is applied. We feel that since these are minimum amenities which are desirable for the City,they should be required in code and should not be left to administrative discretion. It seems reasonable that we require quality, not excessive, development standards in exchange for the financial incentives and flexible site standards that benefit developers. Developers will also benefit from locating in an Automall which is a well coordinated and attractive place to shop for cars. To invest in good development brings more good development. The recommendations of the Planning Commission are not excessive and are minor relative to the opportunity the City is providing. We do not feel that these recommendations are enough by themselves to prevent dealerships from continuing to be attracted to the Automall location. We feel that it is in the interest of the City as a whole and of existing residents to make the Automall an attractive destination shopping area. We urge the Council to require stronger implementing code language to ensure that quality development occurs.

The particular'operty is located in the Auto Mall Area between S.W. 12th Street and S.W 13th. Street. The exact location is known as the Earlington Property, Lots 37,38,39, & 40. E.K Coaches Inc. sales and distributes small to mid size buses,ninety-five percent of which are in the 20 to 25 foot range and seat 8 to 20 passengers. The majority of the vehicles sold are equipped with wheelchair lifts and other ADA equipment for the physically challenged. It is our understanding that the City of Renton has recently determined bus sales are not allowed in a CA zone. We would like to request an exception to this new zoning for about one-half acre in the area of the Auto Mall. This would be very practical for us and our customers as all our vehicles are powered by Ford, Chevrolet or Cummins. This convenience would generate more sales, therefore more revenue for the City of Renton. Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any questions please don't hesitate in calling, 206-861-3417. Hope to hear from you soon.

Schlitzer,President City Council Members L VIA: t L Mayor Earl Clymer FROM: Gregg Zimmerman,Administrator 6- Planning/Building/Public Works Department STAFF CONTACT: Michael D. Kattermann, Director Planning and Technical Services SUBJECT: Automall Improvement Plan ISSUE: A briefing of the City's preliminary Automall Improvement Plan. RECOMMENDATION: • No recommendation. Staff will return with a final improvement plan for Council review and action in January 1996. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The City Council on July 11, 1994 directed staff to assemble a task force, conduct research and then propose Automall code amendments. The City Council adopted zoning code amendments for this purpose on February 27, 1995. The Automall Improvement Plan is not a zoning issue. Included in the adopted code amendment are provisions that refer to a Right-of-Way Improvement Plan and incentives for redevelopment through waiver of street vacation costs. The City received proposals for the Good Chevrolet and Sound Mazda dealerships inside the Automall. An improvement plan is not regulatory but will guide review of these projects into a cohesive and coordinated district. The key issues the plan is trying to resolve are access to private property,phasing of street vacations and improvements, coordination with the City's Transportation Division, and facilitation of development. Access -Right-of-Way designated to be vacated will not be vacated all at once. Access to private property will be maintained and streets vacated only when property is ready to develop and if the Right- of-Way is no longer necessary to reach individual parcels. The intent is to use the established process to November 17, 1995 Page 2 vacate City Right-of-Way as street vacations become necessary to facilitate the continuing development of the Automall. Phasing-The plan shows final Right-of-Way improvements and vacations. In reality these would occur in phases. For example,the eastern portion of SW 12th Street would remain open as City Right-of-Way at its current width in order to provide access to Atomic Battery and residences. Therefore,the City would coordinate the improvement of SW 12th Street so it would not interfere with this access and avoid the necessity of installing improvements that would be later removed. The plan guides the City in coordinating this phasing. The exact phases are determined by how property is assembled and development is proposed. Transportation Coordination -The City's Transportation Division has reviewed and approved the plan for consistency with their standards and plans for streets. Development Facilitation-The plan is designed to make it easier to locate and develop these properties and to assure coordination with other development and improvements. The intent is to implement land use policies and codes in a coordinated area development. cc: Jay Covington Mike Kattermann Paul Cohen City Clerk 0 0) fn * ate, o 3. m3 = 03 0 = C d� tit o � � � o CO `�. = � te)j ..

It is impossible to guarantee future property values, but the following list of recent sales in this zone compared to the assessed valuation should give the Council some indication of whether property values in this area are increasing or decreasing.The assessed valuation is as of March 1995 and reflects the CA zoning that has been in place in this area since 1993. Land Values Sales in Automall Zone • Recent Property Owners Assessed Value S/Sq Sales Price w/ S/Sq w/ CA zoning Ft Automall zoning Ft Holmes $76,000 $5.00 $182,880 $12.00 Caniparoli $104,000 $4.50 $314,280 $13.50 • Brown $50,900 $4.99 $130,000 $13.11 Gray $265,100 $12.13 $390,000 $17.86 Moody $335,600 $6.31 $663,525 12.50 **Pierotti $669,300 $6.31 $927,500 $8.75 **Pierre $74,100 $4.49 $125,000 $7.00 ** Optioned in 1993 before Automall zoning concept discussed The property that has been sold since the Automall has been marketed to auto dealers shows a clear upward trend in value. Automall Zone Incentives One of the principal elements of the automall zone is that by creating a package that is beneficial to the auto dealers,the auto dealers will consider this property more desirable than other property. That is beneficial to the property owners, especially in this area, because it means that the auto • dealers are willing to pay more for the property and deal with the additional problems that negotiating with multiple ownership entails. One of the difficulties of accumulating property in this area is that there are so many property owners involved. Although there are some larger property owners in the area,there is no single property owner that has frontage along Grady and enough property to build anything of significance on. This is a serious disadvantage for the *NOV `r Page 2 Land Values in Automall Zone 06/02/95 property owners. There must be something very compelling about the area to a perspective user to make it worth the hassle of negotiating with a large number of owners. Staff believes that we have addressed this problem with the automall zoning. Although the zone restricts the use of the property to auto dealers and related uses,it also does some additional things that make it very attractive to the marketplace: • Predictability -allows the auto dealers to invest the millions of dollars necessary for a new dealership with the confidence that the area will remain desirable for automobile sales. • Encourages comparison shopping-Auto dealers try to locate within easy driving distance . from each other. The automall zone will allow customers to park their cars and walk between dealerships. This is a very real incentive. • Allows contiguous properties to establish internal circulation routes instead of requiring improvements to existing sub-standard street. Staff is currently working an internal circulation plan for the area that will be implemented in phases as the area redevelops. • Allows engineering of common drainage and storm water systems • • Creates greater visibility for the auto dealers through gateway features in two locations, Rainier and Grady,and Grady. • Allows for additional signage at gateway entrances. • Encouragement by the City to accumulate property into larger properties and vacate the streets.Waivers of the street vacation fees create an incentive to do this. . Recognizes the unique requirements of auto dealers through special landscaping provisions • which allows the dealerships to create landscaped areas that enhance the area while utilizing their site to the best advantage. • Phasing-Automall zoning allows the area to begin transition to a new use without requiring that all the property owners are ready to sell at the same time.A CA use such as Target, IKEA or Walmart would require the entire area for redevelopment. These additional features make the area more attractive to the dealers and increases the value of the land for property owners. If the City had simply zoned the area as a restrictive auto zone without adding these benefits,the auto dealers would not have chosen to locate in this area. This is a new idea for the City and there will be some fine tuning required as situations develop. It should be noted however,that more property has been sold in this area in the past six months than has been sold in the past ten years.The number of acres in the Automall zone is approximately 15. Over 9 acres of land,more than half of the land available has been sold for auto dealerships since January of 1995. If this concept does not work out the Council always has the option of removing the overlay zone and returning the area to a straight CA zone. • May 22. 1995 ``4".enton City Council Minutes seri Page 216 Utility: Mobile Home Park Utilities Committee Chair Corman presented a report regarding water rates for Sub-Metering (Sunnydale) residents of the Sunnydale Mobile Home Park.

MOVED BY May 22. 1995 "'Denton City Council Minutes "real Pane 213 Councilman Stredicke objected to the ambiguity of Mr. Moncriers remarks, saying that any accusations of improper behavior by a Councilmember should be specific so as not to asperse the entire Council. Following further discussion, Mr. Moncrief denied implying that any Councilmember owns property in the Automall area or in the area of Good Chevrolet. Citizen Comment Staley - Caren Staley, PO Box 3407, Federal Way, WA, 98063, said the appraisals Automall Ordinance referred to for property in the automall area are incorrect, as the going rate is lower than previously stated. Ms. Staley inquired what her recourse was regarding Council's decision to deny reconsideration of the ordinance. Assistant City Attorney Zanetta Fontes stated that Ms. Staley can appeal Council's decision to Superior Court. Citizen Comment Pierotti Richard Pierotti, 14637 SE 172nd, Renton, 98058, thanked Council for its - Automall Ordinance decision denying reconsideration of the automall ordinance. He felt an automall would be the highest and best use of these properties and that property values will rise because of the ordinance. He concluded that the City's decision to create an automall was a solid move for Renton's future. CONSENT AGENDA Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing.

MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, COUNCIL REFER THIS CORRESPONDENCE TO THE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE. CARRIED. May 22, 1995 Renton City Council Minutes Pane 210 Planning: Automall Zone This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro tempore Schlitzer opened the public hearing to reconsider the Automall Ordinance (Ord. No. 4500), { adopted by the City Council on 2/27/95. Rebecca Lind, Principal Planner, explained that the purpose of the public hearing is to provide an opportunity for public comment on the Automat! Ordinance. No public hearing was held in February prior to the ordinance's adoption because it is a text amendment to the Arterial Commercial (CA) zone, and not a rezone. Still, some of the affected property owners have expressed their desire to address the Council on this issue. Continuing, Ms. Lind said the ordinance establishes an automall district as an overlay in the CA zone for certain properties in the general vicinity of Rainier Ave., Grady Way and I-405. The purpose of the overlay is to concentrate car dealerships in one area for improved retail activity. The ordinance also offers property owners in Area A certain development incentives, such as the waiver of street vacation fees. Responding to the question of whether an overlay district is necessary since auto dealerships are already a permitted use in the CA zone, Ms. Lind explained that the overlay will create a destination location for auto dealerships. Businesses will be able to coordinate advertising, and potential purchasers will find it easier to comparison-shop. Ms. Lind confirmed that the ordinance restricts only Area A of the overlay district to dealerships and secondary uses. Properties in Area B, while designated as part of the overlay district, will not be prohibited from other CA-zone uses such as eating and drinking establishments, department and variety stores, etc. In response to Councilman Stredicke, Ms. Lind said staff recommended the use restrictions and incentives for only Area A at this time because the area is small enough to concentrate on and promote the incentives. The incentives could be extended to Area B later should Council wish. Audience comment was invited. Correspondence was read from Caren A. Staley, PO Box 3407, Federal Way, WA 98063, opposing the ordinance as she felt it did not conform to the Comprehensive Plan and was concerned that it would be injurious to her property as well as others in the vicinity; Cheryl Kupferer, representing Professional Assistants, 1100 Maple Ave. SW, Renton, 98055, stating that office uses were built in this area because they had been allowed and encouraged, and she would like these to continue as a primary permitted use; Larry Brown, Star Properties, 261 SW 41st, Renton, 98055, supporting the ordinance as he felt it would allow and encourage economic development of smaller properties in this area; Gladys L. Pierotti, 17034 SE 184th St., Renton, 98055, supporting the ordinance as she believed this area was ideal for an automall; and from Arthur and Edith Ballestrasse, 201 SW 12th St., Renton, 98055, stating they did not want their properties limited to auto dealerships and related uses only. James Pierre, 11525 Lake City Way NE, Seattle, stated that automalls generate more business than if dealerships are spread out. Adding that property acquisition is expensive, he said building new dealerships has to be affordable for the owners. Mr. Pierre felt that Renton's automall location was ideal and that it will generate increased revenues and sales tax for the City. May 22. 1995 Renton City Council Minutes Page 211 Rich Snyder, 750 Rainier Ave. S., Renton, agreed with Mr. Pierre on the suitability of the automall location and that these businesses need to be economically feasible for their owners. As the owner of Sound Mazda, he said he would like his business to remain in Renton, but it could not stay without the automall ordinance. C.A. Staley, PO Box 3407, Federal Way, WA, 98063, objected to the ordinance as she felt it takes away private property rights. Saying that if dealers want property, they should be willing to pay for it, she noted that the CA zone already allows dealerships and thus felt there was no need for the overlay. Ms. Staley read into the record letters she had previously sent to the Council on this issue. She especially feared that restricting her property to one use would eliminate competitive bidding because of the relatively few number of parties developing auto-related businesses. Don Moody, 16443 SE 35th St., Bellevue, 98006, owner of property in Area A, indicated that efforts to sell the property have been unsuccessful. Emphasizing that auto dealerships will not be built without the automall ordinance because it will not be possible to consolidate enough properties, he felt the proposal represented the best use of the land in this area. Howard Sheridan, 617 Third St., Renton, 98055, owner of Good Chevrolet, stated that automalls are very desirable to dealerships and he had strongly considered moving his business to the City of Tukwila until Renton enacted its automall ordinance. Mr. Sheridan explained that joint advertising as well as the fact of several dealers located in one area combine to attract many potential purchasers to automalls. Hunt Skacel, 24322 - 135th Ave., Kent, 98042, stated that the concentration of auto dealerships in the City of Auburn and in other jurisdictions has been very successful. However, he, too, was concerned about the effect of the ordinance on property values in Area A, and wanted assurance that owners will receive fair value for their land. Roy Ballestrasse, 4440 Preston-Fall City Road, Fall City, opposed the ordinance as he felt that if businesses are interested in acquiring property in this area for auto dealerships, they could do so without an overlay district. Mr. Ballestrasse was also concerned about potential street vacations in this area and the closure of alleys off of Grady Way. Mike Hoims, PO Box 179, Renton, 98057, speaking as a former owner of property in this area, said the automall proposal would benefit the City. He added that, in his opinion, approval of the automall overlay in February increased the the value of his property. Responding to Councilman Edwards, Ms. Lind said staff is currently working on new regulations for Class A non-conforming uses. She confirmed that these will apply city-wide, including in the automall overlay district. Councilman Edwards asked whether a property owner in Area A could seek approval for a use other than a designated auto-related use. Executive Assistant Jay Covington replied this was not an option because the ordinance's specific intent is to restrict this area to dealerships and secondary uses only. A property owner could, however, apply for a rezone of his or her land through the annual review of the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. b May 22. 1995 Renton City Council Minutes r./ Page 212 ' In response to Councilman Tanner's question regarding the potential effect on property values in Area A, Sue Carlson, Economic Development Director, stated that the ordinance has created a demand for property, and land values seem to be rising. Ms. Carlson cited examples of increases in land values in the area. Councilman Stredicke noted his opposition to rezoning property without the concurrence of the property owner. He added that the CA zone already allows auto-related uses, so the overlay district is unnecessary. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. MOVED BY EDWARDS, SECONDED BY KEOLKER-WHEELER, COUNCIL DENY RECONSIDERATION OF THE AUTOMALL ORDINANCE.* Councilman Tanner was concerned that unless the proposed use restrictions for Area A increase property values, the ordinance would have the unacceptable result of requiring private property owners to subsidize the creation of an automall. He opposed the motion as it seemed that the ordinance's sole purpose was to force property owners in Area A to sell their land. Councilman Corman viewed the ordinance as consistent with standard zoning objectives to achieve predictability. He also believed it would raise property values and stimulate a resurgence of economic activity in this area, noting he has seen no evidence indicating this would not be the case. Responding to Councilman Corman, Ms. Lind said if the building referred to in the letter from Ms. Kupferer (Professional Assistants) is used solely for office use, it is already non-conforming in the CA zone without the automall district. *MOTION CARRIED TO DENY RECONSIDERATION OF THE AUTOMALL ORDINANCE. (See page 216 for ordinance.) AUDIENCE COMMENT Jim Moncrief, 248 Garden Ave. N., Renton, 98055, raised several questions Citizen Comment: regarding Council's decision to authorize the purchase of several parcels Moncrief - Good downtown owned by Howard Sheridan (Good Chevrolet). In particular, he Chevrolet Property wanted to know who notified the City that Good Chevrolet was considering Purchase; Council Ethics moving to Tukwila; when this move was supposed to take place; whether this notification was made in writing; whether a written appraisal was available for these properties and if so, who performed it; how much will be lost in annual property taxes; did Good Chevrolet indicate that the City's refusal to purchase the downtown parcels would result in it moving to Tukwila; and what were Good Chevrolet's purported incentives for moving to Tukwila. He doubted whether Renton residents would endorse the City buying land in the downtown area, or adding to the City's indebtedness. Mr. Moncrief then alleged improprieties on the part of unnamed Councilmembers, emphasizing that Councilmembers are required to avoid not only conflict of interest, but any appearance of conflict of interest. Responding to Councilman Corman, Mr. Moncrief claimed that Council's action on the Good Chevrolet purchase as well as its action this evening to deny reconsideration of the Automall Ordinance were in some way motivated by conflict of interest concerns.

This ordinance downzoned my property, and it was adopted without any prior notice to me. I was given no opportunity to present my views on the zoning change before it was adopted. As an owner of property directly affected by the downzoning, I was entitled to receive notice of any proposal that would specifically affect my property, and to be heard on the matter. Furthermore, Ordinance 4500 has serious negative consequences for my property, which are not necessary to accomplish the City of Renton's objective of creating an "automallTM. Ordinance 4500 was adopted on February 27, 1995, and published on March 3, 1995. The ordinance changes the zoning on my property such that the only Permitted Uses are as an "automall". Previously, my property was zoned Arterial Commercial(CA), which allowed for a wide variety of retail sales and personal/professional services related to automobile traffic along major arterial streets. Ordinance 4500 effectively downzones my property, and has significantly limited the uses I can make of my property. In doing so, the City of Renton has drastically devalued the economic return.T can make on my property. 1 strenuously oppose the City of Renton limiting the use of my property to "automall". Automall uses are already permitted within the CA zone. There is no need to so strictly restrict the use of my property in order to promote automall development. The City could accomplish its goal of encouraging automall development simply by offering financial incentives such as those provided for in Ordinance 4500(e.g., waiver of permitting fees), rather than by imposing restrictions that unnecessarily harm current property owners'economic interests. By imposing strict restrictions,the City has eliminated competitive price bidding for properties like mine because there are few parties developing automall-related businesses. If the City took a less Page 2 ti..r restrictive approach, competitive price bidding would be retained, while at the same time persons wishing to develop automall uses would have an incentive to do so. I appreciate your consideration of my request for a repeal of Ordinance 4500. I encourage you to undertake a less restrictive approach to encouraging automall uses, one that preserves the economic interests of current property owners. Sincerely, c2ai 0 -a Mrs. C.A.

Renton, WA 98055 (206) 226-8189 May 19, 1995 CITY OF RENTON MAY 221995 Renton City Council 200 Mill Avenue South RCcR Renton, WA 98055 CITY CLERK'S OFFICE Subject: Automall Ordinance Council Members: We have been the owners of an office building at 1100 Maple Avenue S.W. and owners of a business at that location for over 10 years. At the time we built our office building, the property was zoned for business (B-1) . After that time, the property was zoned for offices only and now it has a CA zone. Office uses have been allowed and even encouraged by these zoning designations. Now after a number of office buildings have been built in the area, you are proposing to not allow them. We built in this area because of it developing as an office area, not as a used car sales area. Locating car sales all around us will have a significant detrimental effect on our office tenants. The loud noise of phones on loud speakers, auto repair, etc. will not be beneficial to regular office business activities. We are asking that you make a couple of changes in the proposed ordinance; the first being to continue to allow office uses, so we do not become non-conforming and lose the property value of our building. The second is to regulate the exterior noise allowed to come from the car sales area. Phones and loud speakers are not appropriate to be broadcast on the exterior so that they disrupt the whole neighborhood. We wish to thank you for your consideration of these two changes. Sincerely, eryl Kup rer et CC ' l/tC V Coo v May 19, 1995 CITY OF RENTON 1 9 1995 To: Members of the City Council rgc:CL'VED City of Renton CITY CLERK'S OFFICE From: Larry M. Brown, President-Broker Star Properties , Inc. Subject: Automall Ordinance No. 4500 As a long-time commercial real estate broker in the Renton area, a partner owner of properties in the subject area, and a strong advocate of planned development focused at the current marketplace I would like to go on the record as strongly supporting the adoption of the Automall Ordinance No. 4500. Since the early 80 ' s I have brokered over 12 or 13 properties in this area and yet there has been no substantial development in the proposed Automall area except the new Saturn dealership. This is the City ' s opportunity to be pro-active, to create a development environment that will continue to attract and support auto-related uses. Small properties in this area cannot be developed economically, all other CA uses have passed this area by for many years, and as a owner in this area also, I can say that passing this ordinance will help all of us to market these properties to the highest and best use, receive the highest prices, and contribute to the economic tax base of the City. Moreover, as a main gateway to the City I believe the planned and attractive developement will truly be asset for Renton. Thank you for your consideration and support on this important land development issue. Best Regards, Larry M. Brown, President-Broker cc Sue Carlson, Mike Katterman, Renton Chamber of Commerce, Howard Sheridan, & certain affected property owners in this area.

Those properties are currently under a Purchase and Sales Agreement for use as an auto dealership, with closing to occur nearly immediately. I was previously informed that the properties had been zoned for an automall . I understand that there is currently scheduled a public hearing for reconsideration of that zoning for May 22, 1995 . Please be advised that I and my family strongly support the automall zoning. This area is ideal for auto dealerships . There are already several auto dealerships in the immediate vicinity, including the Saturn dealership, Renton Honda and Sound Ford. I strongly urge the City Council to stand by its prior zoning for this area and continue the zoning in this area as automall . Although several attempts have been made in the past to accumulate the properties in this area and develop them, no effort has been successful until just recently. This area is prime for transition to a business use, and no use appears better than that of auto dealerships . For my sake and that of my family, and the economic well-being of the City of Renton, the Council could take no better vote than to stand by its prior automall zoning. Very truly yours, Gladys L. ierotti „.�,„ • CITY OF RENTON 114m+kr "lL 4 , City Clerk Earl Clymer,Mayor Marilyn J.Petersen May 12, 1995 Doris Hagen 540 Shattuck Ave. S. Renton, WA 98055 Dear Mrs. Hagen: In response to your inquiry today regarding the public hearing to be held before the City Council on the automall zone, I am attaching a map showing that a portion of Shattuck Ave. S. directly across from your residence is included in the proposed automall area (west side of Shattuck Ave. S. from SW 7th St. to Houser Way). Therefore, although your property is not contained in the automall area, it could be indirectly impacted by the property located across the street from you. The City of Renton notifies all property owners within 300 feet of areas for which rezones are being considered. This notification gives you the opportunity to provide input and voice any comments or concerns you may have to the City Council. I hope this answers your question.

Schlitzer, President City Council Members VIA: Mayor Farl Clymer FROM: Gregg Zimmerman, Administrator 6- 2 Planning/Building/Public Works Department STAFF CONTACT: Mike Kattermann (ext. 6190) SUBJECT: Public Hearing for Automall Ordinance Reconsideration ISSUE: Public Hearing and reconsideration of Automall Ordinance. RECOMMENDATION: Set a Public Hearing for May 22, 1995, and place ordinance on agenda for reconsideration. BACKGROUND: In the fall of 1994 staff proposed code amendments to create incentives for the redevelopment in the area around Grady Way S. and Rainier Ave. S. into a regional automall. Both the Planning Commission and City Council approved of the proposal and Ordinance No. 4500 was adopted on February 27, 1995. Because the ordinance did not involve a rezone of properties, a decision was made at that time that a public hearing was not needed. However, since that time at least one property owner has questioned the lack of a public hearing. In order to ensure adequate public notice and input, staff is recommending that a public hearing be held and that all owners of property within the automall and within 300 feet of the automall be notified. The City Attorney has advised us that a public hearing is appropriate to provide public involvement in this issue. Therefore, staff is submitting the ordinance for public hearing and for Council reconsideration after the hearing. CONCLUSION: A public hearing on the Automall Ordinance will provide for public notice and comment so that the Council may then reconsider adopting the ordinance.

All interested parties are invited to attend and present written and/or oral comments. Interpretive services and translation services are available upon request.

Belk Preston Gates & Ellis 5000 Columbia Center 701 Fifth Avenue Seattle, Washington 98104-7078 Re: Renton Ordinance No. 4500 and Sound Mazda Proposed Street Vacation Dear Ms . Belk: I have before me your letter of May 2 , 1995 . I cannot confirm for you if the public hearing on the automall zoning is to be scheduled for May 22, 1995, as I have seen no correspondence to that effect. I do know that a public hearing is planned in the near future. With respect to the 1974 settlement agreement, I have previously reviewed that document. I can find no statement in that document which would lead me to the conclusion that Mrs . Staley is entitled to perpetual access over the alley. If you could point out a specific statement to that effect in the document, it would be appreciated. Since I disagree with your reading of the settlement agreement, I cannot agree with your statement that the City is precluded from vacating the alley. Finally, with respect to your request to be placed on the mailing list for future notices regarding the Staley property, I will forward a copy of your letter to the Planning Department and City Clerk' s office to accomplish your request.

Warren City Attorney City of Renton P. O. Box 626 Renton, WA 98057 Re: Renton Ordinance No. 4500 and Sound Mazda Proposed Street Vacation Dear Mr. Warren: As you know from our conversation of last week, we represent Mrs. C. A. Staley. I wanted to write and confirm what we discussed regarding the above-referenced ordinance and to apprise you of another issue regarding proposed street vacations. As I explained to you on the phone, Mrs. Staley is concerned that the ordinance is a significant downzone of her property, of which she had no individual advance notice or opportunity to be heard. You stated that the "text change" effected by the ordinance was part of area-wide zoning changes pursuant to the Growth Management Act, and that there was broad public notice of proposed changes. Nevertheless, because of the controversy surrounding the ordinance, you have recommended to the Renton City Council that it schedule a public hearing regarding the ordinance and determine whether to repeal the ordinance. Mrs. Stacey called me on Friday to tell me that a public meeting has been scheduled for May 22. I would appreciate confirmation of this date, and request to be placed on the mailing list for future notices regarding the property affected by the ordinance. In addition to the ordinance issues, I want to apprise you that it appears Sound Mazda has proposed vacation of the alley running east/west between S.W. Grady Way and S.W. 12th. Pursuant to the terms of a 1974 settlement agreement entered between the City of Renton, State of Washington, and Mrs. Staley's predecessors in ownership of the property(the "Settlement Agreement"), Mrs. Staley is entitled to perpetual access over the alley in the area Sound Mazda proposes to vacate. The City of Renton is required, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, to maintain the alley for vehicular and pedestrian access. A copy of the Settlement Agreement, which was recorded in the King County real property records, is attached for your information. It would appear that the City is precluded from vacating the alley for use by Sound Mazda or any other party. I would like to be able to A PARTNERSHIP INCLUDING A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION ANCHORAGE • COEUR DALENE - L O S ANGELES • PORTLAND • SPOKANE • TACOMA • WASHINGTON, D.C. 5000 COLUMBIA CENTER 701 FIFTH AVENUE SEATTLE,WASHINGTON 98 1 04-707 8 PHONE: (206) 623-7580 FACSIMILE: (206) 623-7022 May 2, 1995 Page 2 reassure my client that Renton has taken(and does not intend to take) any action that would impair her rights under the Settlement Agreement. Will you please let me know the status of Sound Mazda's proposal? Finally, this firm apparently has represented the City of Renton on unrelated matters at some time in the past. Will you please advise me if you feel our current representation poses a conflict? Very truly yours, PRESTON GATES& ELLIS By Je r L. Belk JLB:jlb Enclosure cc: Mrs. C. A.

Petersen, City Clerk From: Lawrence J. Warren, City Attorney Date: April 24, 1995 Subject: Letters Regarding Automall Ordinance I have spoken with Sue Carlson about this topic and we also discussed it in the Economic Development Steering Committee. It is my feeling that a public hearing should be held on this topic. One could argue that a single use on property is a rezone of the property rather than a change to the City's Zoning Code. That conclusion would require a public hearing. The other alternative is to conclude that the Zoning Code change was done as part of the Growth Management Act process. The Growth Management Act is replete with references to the fact that broad public participation is required. That would also seem to require significant public involvement and the best way of providing that type of public involvement is through a public hearing.

CITY OF RENT,ON PLANNING/BUILDING/PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM DATE: May 3, 1995 TO: Timothy J. Schlitzer, President City Council Members VIA: Mayor Earl Clymer FROM: Gregg Zimmerman, Administrator 6- a- Planning/Building/Public Works Department STAFF CONTACT: Mike Kattermann (ext. 6190) SUBJECT: Public Hearing for Automall Ordinance Reconsideration ISSUE: Public Hearing and reconsideration of Automall Ordinance. RECOMMENDATION: Set a Public Hearing for May 22, 1995, and place ordinance on agenda for reconsideration. BACKGROUND: In the fall of 1994 staff proposed code amendments to create incentives for the redevelopment in the area around Grady Way S. and Rainier Ave. S. into a regional automall. Both the Planning Commission and City Council approved of the proposal and Ordinance No. 4500 was adopted on February 27, 1995. Because the ordinance did not involve a rezone of properties, a decision was made at that time that a public hearing was not needed. However, since that time at least one property owner has questioned the lack of a public hearing. In order to ensure adequate public notice and input, staff is recommending that a public hearing be held and that all owners of property within the automall and within 300 feet of the automall be notified. The City Attorney has advised us that a public hearing is appropriate to provide public involvement in this issue. Therefore, staff is submitting the ordinance for public hearing and for Council reconsideration after the hearing. CONCLUSION: A public hearing on the Automall Ordinance will provide for public notice and comment so that the Council may then reconsider adopting the ordinance.
