SUBJECT:Request for Fee Waiver – Colpitts Sunset Terrace
Redevelopment – Phase I
ISSUE:
Should the City waive certain development and mitigation fees for Phase I of the
Colpitts Sunset Terrace Redevelopment project?
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a 50% waiver of the development and mitigation fees as provided for in RMC 4-
1-210C for the Colpitts Sunset Terrace Redevelopment – Phase I with a total of 108 new
housing units.
BACKGROUND:
Colpitts has requested a waiver of the development and mitigation fees for Phase I of
the Sunset Terrace Redevelopment project, a 108-unit market rate rental housing
development project in the Sunset Area. The subject site is 26,380 square feet in area
and is located in the Center Village (CV) zone. The property is bound by NE Sunset Blvd,
Harrington Ave NE, and Sunset Lane NE.
Phase I of the Sunset Terrace Redevelopment project is one of many community
enhancements envisioned by the City of Renton’s Sunset Area Community Investment
Strategy which was adopted by the Council in Fall 2009.
The “Waived Fees - Rental Housing Incentive,” RMC 4-1-201C, was adopted on August 1,
2011, in order to encourage new rental housing in the CV, RM-F, and R-14 zones within
the Center Village Comprehensive Plan designation. The Sunset Area Community
Investment Strategy directed staff to implement the recommendations and
prioritization of projects therein as resources become available. The fee waiver is
intended to provide an incentive for redevelopment in the Sunset Area and encourage
new multi-family rental housing.
AGENDA ITEM #2. a)
Randy Corman, Council President
Page 2 of 2
July 25, 2016
As provided for in RMC 4-1-210C, Colpitts has requested that the following fees be
waived for Phase I of the Sunset Terrace Redevelopment project: building permits fees;
building permit plan review fees; water, surface water, and wastewater system
development charges; public works plan review and inspection fees; and fire,
transportation, and parks impact mitigation fees.
The projected total fees for Phase I of the Sunset Terrace Redevelopment project are
$343,532.34. If waived, these fees would represent a savings of $3,180.86 per unit for
the developer.
Per RMC 4-1-210C5, a fee waiver request for an eligible project must be made prior to
or by the administrative site plan review period unless otherwise approved by the
Council. The applicant applied for Site Plan Review in March of 2015 and received
approval on January 12, 2016. As a result, the applicant is requesting the Council
consider the fee waiver request in spite of the issuance of the site plan review approval.
CONCLUSION:
Colpitts Phase I of the Sunset Terrace Redevelopment Project, a new 108-unit market
rate rental housing development in the Sunset Area, meets the criteria for waiver of
certain development and mitigation fees as provided for in RMC 4-1-210C. The fee
waiver will assist Colpitts in providing new rental housing, encourage other capital
investment in the area, and support the City’s ongoing redevelopment efforts in the
Sunset Area. The fee waiver, for Phase I of the Sunset Terrace Redevelopment project,
supports the City’s vision as the “Center of Opportunity in the Puget Sound region
where families and businesses thrive” and the Sunset Area Community Investment
Strategy.

FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
N/A
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Condominium Act, RCW 64.34, allows individual units of multi-family development to be owned rather
than leased, but imposes restrictions that make it difficult for builders and home buyers to obtain financing.
Municipalities that allow the subdivision of land upon which multi-family development is located enables
developers and home buyers to forgo provisions required for condominium financing while also allowing the
land, upon which each unit is situated, to be owned.
EXHIBITS:
None.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Refer Unit-Lot Subdivisions to the Planning & Development Committee and Planning Commission for review.
AGENDA ITEM #3. a)
August 17, 2016
D-127: UNIT LOT SUBDIVISIONS
General Description
The Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, as well as other members of
the development community, have requested the City consider new code that would allow the
subdivision of land underlying townhouses in order to create fee-simple lots, as opposed to
creating condominiums through the process provided by the state’s Condominium Act. The
proposed concept would allow the creation of “unit lots” in the R-10, R-14, and RMF zones that
deliberately do not adhere to the standards normally applied to other residential lots (e.g., lot
area, lot depth, lot width, coverage limitations, etc.) so that a unit lot may only encompass the
land underneath an individual townhouse dwelling unit and any private yard. The proposed
code would not result in any visible differences or increased density between previously
developed townhouses and those developed under the new code; therefore, previously
developed townhouses will be able to subdivide into unit lots.
Assessment of Existing Code
The Condominium Act, RCW 64.34, imposes restrictions on some attached and detached single
family homes, such as townhomes, which make it difficult for builders and home buyers to
obtain financing. For example, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage requirements require
the following: more than 50% of the condo units must be owner occupied, a minimum of 50%
of the units in the project must be sold, and buyers with a down payment of less than 25% must
pay an additional .75% of the loan amount at closing or pay a higher interest rate. Fee-simple
ownership enables the home owner to own the land, not just the air rights, while allowing
development standards to apply to the “parent site.” By allowing townhouses to be placed on
fee-simple lots, the mortgage financing issues are eliminated, as the development, sale, and
purchase of the unit will not fall under the condominium financing guidelines.
Currently, a townhouse development subdivided into unit lots is only possible through a
Planned Urban Development (PUD). PUDs are permitted to develop under modified standards if
they result in superior development with public benefits. Public benefits include: greater
protection for critical areas, preservation or enhancement of natural features, sustainable
development techniques, and similar provisions that require additional investment by the
developer (the expense of which most likely passed on to future homebuyers).
The purpose of the proposed code is to offer an alternative to condominium procedures and
facilitate the development of for-sale housing that will likely be more affordable than a typical
newly-built single family house. Although a Unit Lot Subdivision would not be required to
impose income limits for potential buyers (e.g., no more than 80% of the Area Median Income),
townhouses typically have less floor area, and unit lots will cover significantly less land area
than an average single-family house in the R-10 and R-14 zones (single family houses are
prohibited in the RMF Zone). Because potential homebuyers would not be subject to financing
requirements of the Condominium Act, and would be paying for less livable floor area and less
land area than the alternative to home ownership (i.e., a single family house), Unit Lot
AGENDA ITEM #3. b)
Page 2 of 3 August 17, 2016
Subdivisions would create more opportunities for home ownership for a greater number of
people.
The illustration below depicts how a Unit Lot Subdivision might be developed. Residential
Development Standards (e.g., building coverage, setbacks, landscaping standards, etc.) would
apply to the whole “parent site” (the original lot). Lot sizes range from 824 SF to 1,358 SF, with
1,100 SF being the average, compared to the minimum lot sizes for single family houses in the
R-10 and R-14 zones of 4,000 and 3,000 square feet respectively.
Proposed Amendments to Code
Impact Analysis
Effect on rate of growth, development, and conversion of land as envisioned in the Plan
Because the proposed code would offer an alternative to the Condominium Act, there will likely
be some increase on the rate of growth, development, and conversion of land as envisioned in
the Plan.
Effect on the City’s capacity to provide adequate public facilities
There will likely be no effect on the City’s capacity to provide adequate public facilities.
Effect on the rate of population and employment growth
Because there might be more townhouse developments that may commence without securing
financing in conformance with the State’s Condominium Act, there might be a slight increase on
the rate of population and employment growth.
Whether Plan goals are being met as specified or remain valid and desirable
Goals of the Plan are being met, specifically Goal B of the Housing and Human Services Element:
Ensure a variety of housing types are available within the City that meet the needs of the
present without compromising the needs of future generations.
Effect on general land values or housing costs
The proposed code might offer reduced housing costs for townhouses because it would provide
an alternative to the condominium process.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY
& ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
M E M O R A N D U M
DATE: July 20, 2016
TO: Kevin Poole, Planning Commission Chair
Members of the Renton Planning Commission
FROM: Angie Mathias, Long Range Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Marijuana Regulations Revisions
ISSUE
In order to consolidate legalized medical and recreational marijuana, the State
Legislature adopted several changes to the RCW’s regarding legal marijuana. The City
now has three recreational marijuana stores open and has the benefit of improved
understanding of them as a land use. As a result of these two things, there are several
policy issues that have been identified.
ISSUE DISCUSSION
Renton’s Allocation of Retail Marijuana Stores
In September 2015, the Washington State Liquor Cannabis Board (LCB) notified the City
that they would be accepting applications for new retail marijuana licenses and that
they would “not be limiting the number of licensed retail stores”. In response to this
notification, the City adopted interim zoning regulations limiting the number of retail
marijuana stores in Renton to five. Subsequently, in January 2016, the LCB released a
study completed by BOTEC Analysis Corporation of the marijuana marketplace in
Washington State. Based on the analysis, the Board set a new cap on the number of
licenses to be issued; the new limit for Renton has been set at six. The issue of how
many stores is appropriate for Renton needs to be resolved.
The intent of adopting the cap of five was to be responsive to the intent of the changes
made by the Legislature; to bring medical and recreational marijuana together. The City
was initially allocated three stores under the first round of recreational licensing. At
that time, the City had two medical marijuana collective gardens. Those two stores were
meeting the needs of the medical marijuana patients in the City. Bringing those two
systems together should result in the demand for both recreational and medical
marijuana being met by five stores. Therefore, staff recommends retaining the cap of
five retail marijuana stores.
AGENDA ITEM #4. a)
Kevin Poole, Planning Commission Chair
Page 2 of 4
July 20, 2016
The LCB has issued six retail marijuana licenses for locations in Renton. The City has
approved business licenses for four. Staff recommends that the fifth and final license be
approved for the next retailer that complies with both State and City regulations,
including zoning and development regulations.
Sensitive Uses Buffers
Another significant amendment the State made to the regulations is in regards to the
buffers from sensitive uses. Under the initial I-502 regulations, recreational marijuana
stores cannot be located within 1,000 feet of the following (a map with these buffers
and the zones that allow retail marijuana is attached as Attachment A):
Elementary or secondary schools – must be recognized by the State
Superintendent of Public Instruction
Playgrounds – “usually equipped with swings, slides, or other playground
equipment” that is “owned and/or managed by a city, county, state, or federal
government”
Public parks – does not include trails. Must have “facilities for rest and/or
recreation, such as a baseball diamond or basketball court” and be “owned and
or managed by a city, county, state, federal government, or metropolitan park
district”
Recreation centers or facilities – must be owned and/or managed by a non-
profit, city, county, state, or federal government
Child care centers – must be licensed by the State Department of Early Learning
Public transit centers – must be “owned and managed by a transit agency or city,
county, state, or federal government for the express purpose of staging people
and vehicles where several bus or other transit routes converge. They serve as
efficient hubs to allow bus riders from various locations to assemble at a central
point to take advantage of express trips or other route to route transfers.”
Libraries – must be supported with money derived from taxation
Game arcades – must be open to those under age 21
With the 2015 amendments to the RCW’s, local jurisdictions can decrease the distance
requirements for buffers from public parks, recreation centers or facilities, child care
centers, public transit centers, libraries, and game arcades to as little as 100 feet. A map
showing the additional areas that would become available for potential retail marijuana
locations is attached as Attachment B. Staff recommends retaining the 1,000 foot
buffers from all sensitive uses. If the City finds later that retailers are challenged to find
locations that meet all buffer requirements, zoning, and other City regulations, such as
parking, this issue could be reconsidered. Staff reviewed standards for some other
jurisdictions, Attachment C, and of those reviewed, half have retained the 1,000 foot
buffers and half have reduced them. The primary justification for buffer reductions was
that the zoning and 1,000 foot buffers left no reasonable locations for retailers to
locate. In Renton, reviewing Attachment A shows that there are a number of areas
where retailers could be located.
AGENDA ITEM #4. a)
Kevin Poole, Planning Commission Chair
Page 3 of 4
July 20, 2016
Parking
Currently, the City applies the standard for retail sales to determine the required
amount of parking for retail marijuana. The requirements are to have a minimum and a
maximum of 2.5 stalls per 1,000 square feet of floor area. As Renton and other
jurisdictions are gaining experience with retail marijuana as a land use, there is some
concern that more parking should be required.
TripGeneration.org studied retail marijuana in Colorado and found that stores “in
Denver generate 10 times more traffic than typical retail stores and 5 times more than
pharmacies”. These numbers seem extreme and not directly comparable to retail
marijuana in Washington State, but illustrate the point that it is important to make a
distinction between general retail and retail marijuana. The City of Redmond recently
made the determination that retail marijuana was more similar to a convenience market
than general retail. In Redmond, they established a parking requirement of a minimum
of 4 stalls and a maximum of 5 stalls per 1,000 square feet of floor area. Renton does
not have a separate category for convenience market. The standard for medical/dental
offices is a minimum and a maximum of 5 stalls per 1,000 square feet of floor area. On-
site services require 3 stalls per 1,000 square feet of floor area. Staff recommends
adopting the same standard as Redmond of a minimum of 4 stalls and maximum of 5
stalls for required parking for retail marijuana.
Medical Patients Home Grows and Cooperatives
With a medical authorization, a person or their designated provider can legally grow
four marijuana plants in their home. If they register as a patient that has been
authorized as having medical need for a greater amount with the Washington State
Department of Health, they can grow six plants. If they are registered and a health care
professional determines that the person has medical need of more marijuana than six
plants provides, the person can have as many as 15 plants. Patients can also form
cooperatives with a total of four patients and grow up to 60 marijuana plants in one of
their homes. Only one cooperative is allowed per tax parcel, so multifamily housing is
limited to only one unit being eligible to be used for a cooperative. Cooperatives must
meet the following criteria as well:
All members must be registered in the Department of Health database
Members can only belong to one cooperative
The cooperative must be registered with the LCB
The residence must be located more than:
o One mile away from any marijuana retailer
o 1,000 feet from any school, playground, recreation center, child care
center, public park, transit center, library, and/or arcade. (If a jurisdiction
adopts reduced buffers the same distance requirements would apply to
cooperatives.)
If a cooperative member ceases participation, the LCB must be notified within 15 days
and a new qualifying patient may not join the cooperative until 60 days of the date the
AGENDA ITEM #4. a)

previous member ceased participation. Cooperative participants are required to keep
detailed tracking records regarding the marijuana. For example, each plant must be
numbered, harvests and extraction batches must be weighed, and dates and quantities
removed must be identified. Monthly reports must be filed with the LCB.
Although cooperatives have all of the aforementioned requirements, as well as
additional requirements, staff has reservations about allowing them in Renton. The
regulations for marijuana collective gardens were fairly easily manipulated and the
system it created led to the City banning them.
Another concern is regarding the regulations for cooperatives that wish to grow
outdoors. They are required by LCB to have an eight foot sight obscuring fence around
the marijuana. Typical allowable fence heights in Renton are six feet in rear yards; taller
fences may be allowed by the Building Official. However, in a residential area eight foot
fences would be visually much more substantial than an eight foot fence and would
have a greater impact on neighbors especially in regards to natural light. Neighbors
would likely also be impacted by odors of an outdoor grow. Security measures would
likely need to be implemented (but they are not required) for either outdoor or indoor
growing; however the personal safety of residents from burglary or theft would still be
of concern. Given that the presumable market and need for both recreational and
medical marijuana is met in Renton with five marijuana stores and in the absence of
information to the contrary and that cooperatives are new and untested, staff
recommends not allowing them in Renton.
NEXT STEPS
A public hearing regarding these proposed code amendments will be held.

Renton’s revised its impact fee structure in 2012 and phased in rate increases with the full rate becoming
effective January 1, 2016. This now fully phased in fee, however, only represents a portion of the cost to the City
to accommodate growth. The parks and fire impact fees are 2/3 the full costs. These rates are significantly lower
than 10 peer jurisdictions, especially for transportation and parks (comparison on the back of this page). The
chart below shows all of these figures for impact fees for a new single family dwelling. Staff recommends the
City increase these fees to the full costs.

Transportation Impact Fee:
Henderson, Young, and Associates have just completed a new 2016 Rate Study for the transportation impact
fee. According to this new study the costs to improve the transportation road network to accommodate growth
is $10,862 for a new single family home. In 2011, the full costs were $8,579. The transportation impact fee
should be adjusted to reflect this new study. In 2012, with the initial option of impact fees the transportation
fee established by the Council was 1/3 of the full costs. Staff recommends adopting 1/2 the rate for this update.
