08.13.15 Verbal Maintaining Health Standards for Housing
Consider implementing a proactive rental housing inspection program by
requiring landlords to maintain a City business license. Such a requirement
would work to ensure that rental housing in Renton meets the eight principles of
healthy housing: moisture free, adequately ventilated, contaminant free, free of
pests, clean, well-maintained, free of injury hazards, and thermally controlled.

This was requested by the Master Builders: Consider adoption of a proposed
ordinance to facilitate the creation of fee simple lots within multi-family
residential zones for detached condominiums as owners in other cities indicate
that they were having difficulty re-financing their homes. These owners stated
that banks were often reluctant to loan on a condominium and further appraised
their homes no differently from conventional attached condominium
developments, resulting in lower appraised values for, from all appearances,
detached single family homes.

classification of roadways that serve the site. Additionally, an error exists within
the criteria that unintentionally requires rezones that don’t require a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) to be evaluated as though a CPA is
required.
Notice Requirements
Allow for parties of record (including applicants, owners, etc,) to receive
electronic correspondence instead of snail mail correspondence for a project.
This would significantly reduce our paper, ink, and postage costs.
Reconsideration Procedures
The code does not limit the number of reconsiderations a single person can apply
for. Additionally, there is no allowing for parties of record to comment when a
reconsideration/appeal is being considered. Additionally there appears to be
duplication of the option to request a reconsideration unless the one of the
citations is moved under a sub-header or they can be consolidated into one.
Revise the RMC 4-8-110.E.2 and RMC 4-8-110E.13 to better define the
reconsideration process
Appeal Process
PH edits: Larry clarified that once the appeal process is commenced, only the
appellants should be able to provide testimony. During Tiffany Park appeal,
“interested parties” were able to provide testimony even though they did not
contribute to the appeal request.
Review why a party of record who is not an appellant or develop be permitted to
argue the case by letter, when they can’t do it orally. See Tiffany Park Appeal

“Doggy daycare” facilities are intended for temporary boarding, recreation, and AGENDA ITEM #2. a)
DRAFT LONG RANGE PLANNING WORK PROGRAM Page 3 of 9
care of canines during normal business hours (no overnight boarding). Because
these facilities offer an alternative to keeping canines within the owner’s domicile
during normal business hours, doggy daycares are growing in popularity within
urban areas where residents often lack a private outdoor yard. Under Title IV
such facilities are considered to be kennels, which are typically intended for
longer boarding durations. Currently, a doggy daycare may be permitted in the
Resource Conservation and all three industrial zones; however, the location of
these zones are likely inconvenient for the targeted customer base to drop-off a
dog before the workday begins and pick-up afterwards. Staff recommends
consideration of this use in commercial areas with specific mitigation.
Paul 09.01.16 Email Living Building Challenge
King County Parks Department has requested the City adopt a “Living Building
Challenge” demonstration ordinance to facilitate a planned County Parks facility
that will seek to achieve some of the goals of a the International Living Future
Institute’s certification program. To be certified under the Challenge, projects
must meet a series of ambitious performance requirements over a minimum of
12 months of continuous occupancy. The docket request is to allow deviations
from standards that are obstacles to meeting the Challenge (e.g., allowing self-
composting toilets, re-use of rainwater, etc.).

Angelea 09.07.16 Email Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations
The general review criteria for a tree removal permit (RMC 4-4-130H.5) within
the Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations do not adequately meet the
intent of the code. This code section redundantly requires that the project
AGENDA ITEM #2. a)
DRAFT LONG RANGE PLANNING WORK PROGRAM Page 4 of 9
complies with critical areas related regulations with 4 different criteria. The tree
removal criteria do not address other regulations that are critical for tree
removal review, such as tree density and landscaping regulations.
Angie 09.20.16 Email Refuse and Recycling
Consider revisions to standards for refuse and recycling for townhouse
developments. Current standards are specified for dumpsters only, not for
garbage and recycling cans. Additionally, evaluate current standards for refuse
and recycling in design districts to ensure the requirements achieve the intended
outcomes.
Staff N/A Design standards for development based on the type of use
Currently, the design standards based on locational criteria, by zone or overlay.
This item would explore applying design standards based on use, for example a
retail business or office building. The manner in which the standards are
currently applied gives the benefit of design standards to some areas, while other
areas do not receive this benefit. Additionally, this would make the design
standards easier to understand and administer.
P
Chip 08.05.10 Email Outdoor storage
The code is ambiguous regarding what is considered outside storage and where it
is or is not appropriate. Additionally, regulations for “Bulk Storage Facilities”
constitute a large portion of our code, yet have not been needed in 2 decades.
Should we consider streamlining if not eliminating these storage-related
regulations?
P
Jennifer/Chip 01.06.11 Email Public Facilities Permit
A new Public Facilities Permit would allow greater flexibility to authorize City
facilities in proximity to where services from the facility are delivered to the
public. The current system allows certain types of City facilities in certain zone
classifications. A new Public Facilities Permit could be permitted outright,
administratively, or through a public hearing process depending on the public
facility’s location, zone and impact to surrounding land uses irrespective of
zoning classification.

unless there is a life safety issue. Life safety issues would include house
addressed off of the wrong street. Numbers out of sequence or not in the correct

NON-MOTORIZED MITIGATION FEE
General Description
As part of the 2015 update to the Comprehensive Plan, the Transportation Element identified a
Non-Motorized Concurrency Impact Fee as a way to ensure levels of service are able to be
maintained. Such fees can only be charged to new growth and only for growth’s proportionate
share of the cost to accommodate such growth. The fees can be used to add capacity to
sidewalks, bicycle lanes, or other facilities that have a primary purpose of providing
transportation for bicycles and pedestrians. The City hired a consultant to complete a Nexus
Study for such fees and review of the study and consideration of adopting a fee is now being
conducted.
Impact Analysis
Effect on rate of growth, development, and conversion of land as envisioned in the Plan
The City adopted impact fees in 2012. Some members of the development community, the
Master Builders Association, and the Realtors suggested, at that time, that the rate of growth in
the City would decrease. That has not been the City’s experience; in fact, development activity
since adoption of impact fees has increased significantly. Although, the current rate of
development activity is most likely associated with the improved overall national economy, it
cannot be said that the impact fees decreased development activity. Therefore, there is no
anticipated effect on the rate of growth, development, and the conversion of land as
envisioned in the Plan.
Effect on the City’s capacity to provide adequate public facilities
Mitigation fees are intended to ensure the City has adequate financial capacity to provide
public facilities. If instituted, the fees would work to improve the provision of public facilities for
non-motorized modes of transportation.
Effect on the rate of population and employment growth
As discussed above, given the City’s experience in adopting impact fees, there are no
anticipated effects on the rate of population and employment growth created by the proposed
changes.
Whether Plan objectives are being met as specified or remain valid and desirable
The Vision seeks “a community that is healthy and safe”. Non-motorized mitigation fees would
help the City increase the opportunity for people to be active and safe if they travel as a
pedestrian or bicyclist.
Effect on general land values or housing costs
Places that offer a complete network of transportation options are generally perceived as
desirable places to be. Over time, land values may increase as improvements continue to be
made. It is likely that the cost of the mitigation fees will be passed on to purchasers of new
development and that would represent an increase in housing costs for new homes.
AGENDA ITEM #3. a)
Page 2 of 2 October 5, 2016
Whether capital improvements or expenditures are being made or completed as expected
Not applicable.
Consistency with GMA and Countywide Planning Policies
Mitigation fees are consistent with the statewide Growth Management Act and Countywide
Planning Policies.
Effect on critical areas and natural resource lands
Not applicable. Adoption of non-motorized mitigation fees will not have any effect on how
critical areas and natural resource lands are managed.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of non-motorized mitigation fees.

1. INTRODUCTION
This study of mitigation fees for bicycle and pedestrian facilities for the City of
Renton, Washington presents the nexus between development and bicycle and
pedestrian facilities and explains calculation of the fees and sources of data.
Mitigation Fee Rates1
Mitigation fee rates for new development are based on, and vary according to
the type of land use. The following table summarizes the mitigation fee rates for
several frequently used land use categories. Rates for other non-residential
development are presented in Table 6 of this study.

Definition and Rationale of Mitigation Fees
Mitigation fees are charges paid by new development to pay local
governments for the capital cost of public facilities that are needed to mitigate
specific adverse environmental impacts of new development (including the
people who occupy or use the new development). Throughout this study the
term “developer” is used as a shorthand expression to describe anyone who is
required to mitigate the impacts of their development, including builders,
owners or developers.
1 The rates listed in this nexus study reflect the average impact of each type of development on
Renton’s bicycle and pedestrian system. The actual mitigation amount will be calculated on an
individualized basis for each applicant.
AGENDA ITEM #3. a)
Nexus Study for Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Mitigation Fees • City of Renton
Henderson,
Young & July 5, 2016 Page 2
Company
The mitigation fees that are described in this study do not include any other
forms of developer contributions or exactions, such as impact fees authorized by
the Growth Management Act (RCW 82.02.050-100), system development
charges for water and sewer authorized for utilities (RCW 35.92 for municipalities,
56.16 for sewer districts, and 57.08 for water districts), local improvement districts
or other special assessment districts, linkage fees, or land donations or fees in lieu
of land.
Local governments collect mitigation fees to provide a way for development to
mitigate its specific adverse impacts on the built environment. Other positive
outcomes of government collection of mitigation fees include:
• Implementing a public policy that new development should mitigate
it’s impacts, so that existing development does not have to mitigate
the impacts of new development, and
• Obtaining revenue to pay for some of the cost of public facilities
impacted by new development, and
• Assuring that adequate public facilities will be constructed to serve
new development.
Statutory Basis For Mitigation Fees
Cities in Washington have a long-standing, well-tested practice of using the
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) to require the identification and mitigation
of impacts from development on the natural and built environments, including
transportation, parks, and other types of public facilities.
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) specifically authorizes local
governments to condition the approval of development applications on the
mitigation of specific adverse environmental impacts caused by the proposed
development. The following is a summary of the requirements for imposing such
conditions and the relationship of this nexus study to those requirements.
Identify Impacts in Environmental Documents
“The impacts must be identified in the environmental documents prepared
under SEPA.” (RCW 43.21C.060)
This nexus study quantifies the specific adverse impact of development on the
portion of the built environment that provides bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
The impacts are measured by the number of person trips that development
AGENDA ITEM #3. a)
Nexus Study for Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Mitigation Fees • City of Renton
Henderson,
Young & July 5, 2016 Page 3
Company
generates on bicycle and pedestrian facilities. These specific adverse
environmental impacts may be cited in the environmental documents prepared
under SEPA.
State Conditions in Writing
“The conditions shall be stated in writing by the decisionmaker.” (RCW
43.21C.060)
This nexus study quantifies the cost of mitigating the specific adverse
environmental impacts on bicycle and pedestrian facilities caused by
development. The amount of mitigation cost per unit of development can be
cited in the decisionmaker’s written finding as the basis for conditions to mitigate
the specific adverse environmental impacts on bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
Reasonable Mitigation Measures
“Mitigation measures shall be reasonable and capable of being
accomplished.” (RCW 43.21C.060)
This nexus study documents the relationship between development and its
impact on bicycle and pedestrian facilities. This nexus study ensures that all
development is treated equitably, and that the amount of mitigation fee is
directly related to the specific adverse environmental impacts attributable to
each proposed development. It is reasonable to require the mitigation of such
specific impacts, and requiring such mitigation to be paid in the form of a fee
ensures that all development is capable of accomplishing its required mitigation
(as opposed to mitigations involving donation of land or construction of public
facilities which may not be feasible for small scale development).
Based on Formally Designated Policies
“That such conditions ... shall be based upon policies identified by the
appropriate governmental authority and incorporated into regulations, plans, or
codes which are formally designated by the ... appropriate legislative body... as
possible bases for the exercise of authority pursuant to this chapter [SEPA].”
(RCW 43.21C.060)
This nexus study uses objective standards for determining the impact of
development on bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Those standards, and the rest
of this nexus study, will be adopted by the City by reference in the ordinance
and City Code. The standards and methodology used in this nexus study, and
adopted by the City, become the policies that form the bases for the City’s
AGENDA ITEM #3. a)
Nexus Study for Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Mitigation Fees • City of Renton
Henderson,
Young & July 5, 2016 Page 4
Company
exercise of authority in requiring payment of mitigation fees pursuant to SEPA.
Based on Voluntary Agreements
“This section [allows] voluntary agreements with … cities … that allow a
payment in lieu of a dedication of land or to mitigate a direct impact that has
been identified as a consequence of a proposed development …” (RCW
82.02.020)
Payment of the mitigation fee for bicycle and pedestrian facilities is voluntary,
but maintaining the City’s standards described by the criteria described below is
not voluntary (RCW 43.21C.060). The developer may voluntarily use Renton’s
calculation of impacts and the subsequent fee to fulfill the development’s
requirement to maintain the standard. If the developer does not voluntarily use
the City’s calculations, the developer can use its own experts to conduct its own
study of its impacts, provided that the resulting impact analysis and mitigation of
impacts achieves the same standard that the City has established.
Definition of and Responsibility for Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
For the purpose of this nexus study, bicycle and pedestrian facilities include
sidewalks, bicycle lanes and other facilities that have the primary purpose of
providing transportation mobility for bicyclists and pedestrians. The City of
Renton is the sole provider of the bicycle and pedestrian facilities that are the
basis for the mitigation fee in this nexus study.
Responsibility for Mitigation of Impacts
All types of new development are responsible for mitigating their impacts on
bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Mitigation fee rates are based on, and vary
according to the type of land use. Mitigation fees are usually collected at the
time the local government issues a permit or order allowing structures to be built
(i.e., building permit).
Notes About Data
The data in this study of mitigation fees for bicycle and pedestrian facilities was
provided by the City of Renton unless a different source is specifically cited.
The data in this study was prepared using computer spreadsheet software. In
some tables in this study, there will be very small variations from the results that
would be obtained using a calculator to compute the same data. The reason

for these insignificant differences is that the spreadsheet software was allowed
to calculate results to more places after the decimal than is reported in the
tables of these reports. The calculation to extra places after the decimal
increases the accuracy of the end results, but causes occasional differences
due to rounding of data that appears in this study.
Organization of the Nexus Study
This nexus study contains five chapters, and three appendices:
• Chapter 1 provides a summary of mitigation fee rates, a summary of the
statutory basis for the mitigation fees and other introductory materials.
• Chapter 2 describes the nexus between new development and bicycle
and pedestrian facilities.
• Chapter 3 presents mitigation fees for bicycle and pedestrian facilities
including the methodology that is used to develop the fees, the formulas,
variables and data that are the basis for the fees, and the calculation of
the fees. The methodology is designed to comply with the requirements
of Washington state law.
• Appendix A shows the calculation of trip generation rates.

2. NEXUS BETWEEN DEVELOPMENT AND
BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES
In order to establish a bicycle and pedestrian facilities mitigation program the
nexus2 between new development and the need for bicycle and pedestrian
facilities must be established and quantified.
Nexus Explained
The nexus between development and the need for bicycle and pedestrian
facilities begins with the following facts:
• People use, and are helped or benefitted by, bicycle and pedestrian
facilities because the facilities provide transportation mobility and an
alternative to motor vehicles.
• People live in residences, and work and shop in businesses, and use a
variety of buildings that, for the purpose of this nexus study, are called
development.
• New development creates additional impacts on bicycle and
pedestrian facilities.
• Trip generation rates quantify the amount of the impact on bicycle
and pedestrian facilities from each type of development, and can be
used to quantify the impact of new development.
These facts demonstrate the nexus between people and new development
and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The remainder of this chapter provides
some data to quantify this nexus.
New Development
Renton’s 2015 population consists of 35,198 households. Renton’s 2015
Transportation Model Element estimates Renton’s 2035 households will grow to
52,710 dwelling units. The new development will be 17,512 additional
households, a growth rate of approximately 1.5% per year.
In 2015, the City had total employment of 65,144. The 2035 estimate is

employment of 99,092. The new development will add 33,948 additional
employees, an annual growth rate of approximately 1.6%
Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Will be Needed
The City of Renton analyzes its need for bicycle and pedestrian facilities by
monitoring the portion (i.e., percent) of all travel that occurs on bicycle and
pedestrian facilities, sometimes called the “mode split”.
The City analyzes the need for bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Projects are
eligible only if they meet all three of the following factors:
adding capacity to bicycle and pedestrian facilities that are ...
primarily for transportation in ...
areas of significant growth.
In addition, projects are only eligible for the mitigation fee program if they also
provide at least two of the following four outcomes:
improve connectivity of existing nonmotorized facilities
provide alternatives to congested motorized traffic
increase buffering or safety for nonmotorized travel
serve areas of transit and/or higher density.
The City identified 36 bicycle and trails projects and 12 sidewalk projects that
meet these criteria. Those projects are listed in Chapter 3, Table 2.
Quantifying the Impact of New Development on Bicycle and
Pedestrian Facilities
The direct impact of each type of new development on bicycle and pedestrian
facilities is measured using trip generation rates. The rates quantify how many
bicycle and pedestrian person trips are generated by each type of
development. Appendix B describes methodology and shows the trip
generation rates the for 31 different land uses.
City-wide Service Area and City-wide Mitigation Fees
Renton’s network of bicycle and pedestrian facilities serve the entire City and
are available to any resident, employee or visitor. Given the accessibility of its
bicycle and pedestrian system to all property within the City, the mitigation fees
for the bicycle and pedestrian capital improvements are based on a single
service area that encompasses the City.

Young & July 5, 2016 Page 8
Company
Timely Use of Mitigation Fees
Mitigation fees pursuant to SEPA must be expended within 5 years, thus requiring
timeliness to the benefit that is provided to the property paying the fee.
Reductions of Mitigation Fees
Mitigation fees can be reduced by the value of dedicated land, improvements
or construction provided by the developer for any of the 48 projects that are the
basis of the mitigation fee. The law does not prohibit a local government from
establishing reasonable constraints on determining credits. For example, the
location of dedicated right of way and the quality and design of a donated
bicycle or pedestrian improvement can be required to be acceptable to the
local government.
Summary of Methodology
Bicycle and pedestrian mitigation fees begin with the list of projects compiled
from several City planning documents. The list is evaluated to identify projects
that meet the City’s criteria for being needed by and serving new
development.. The costs are apportioned between benefits to existing
development and benefits to new development.
The costs of benefits to new development are calculated per growth trip end.
The costs per growth trip end are applied to the unique trip generation rates for
each type of land use. The amount of the fee is determined by charging each
new development for cost of the number of growth trip ends that it generates3.
The remaining chapters of this rate study present these calculations.
3 The rates listed in this nexus study are for the average cost of impact of each type of
development on Renton’s bicycle and pedestrian system. The actual mitigation amount will be
calculated on an individualized basis for each applicant.

3. BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MITIGATION FEES
This chapter lists the capital improvement projects and costs of bicycle and
pedestrian facilities, subtracts the portion of costs that benefits existing
development in order to determine the net cost of that benefits new
development, documents the growth in person trip ends attributable to new
development, calculates the cost per person growth trip end, documents the
trip generation rate for each type of land use, and calculates the bicycle and
pedestrian mitigation fee for each of the land use types.
This chapter includes a description of each formula and each variable that is
used in each formula, an explanation of the use of data in each formula, and
the calculation of the growth’s share of bicycle and pedestrian projects that are
eligible for bicycle and pedestrian mitigation fees.
The bicycle and pedestrian projects listed in this chapter are eligible for
mitigation fees because the needs analysis of the projects presented in
Appendix A meets the requirements of RCW 43.21C.
Formula BP-1: Bicycle and Pedestrian Projects Eligible for Mitigation
Fees
The City has many bicycle and pedestrian projects in its transportation plan.
Only those that add capacity for bicycle and pedestrian travel and meet other
criteria described below are eligible for mitigation fees.
BP-1. All Capital
Projects - Non-Capacity Projects or
Not Meet Other Criteria = Projects Eligible for
Mitigation Fees
There is one variable that requires explanation: (A) bicycle and pedestrian
capacity projects.
Variable (A): Bicycle and Pedestrian Capacity Projects
Renton uses the seven criteria listed below as the environmental standards that
determine the need for bicycle and pedestrian projects for new development,
and therefore are eligible to be included in the bicycle and pedestrian
mitigation fee.
1. Adds capacity to the bicycle and pedestrian transportation system (i.e.,
more miles of bicycle and/or pedestrian facilities provide increased
opportunities for non-motorized travel)
AGENDA ITEM #3. a)

2. Is primarily for transportation purposes, and recreational benefits are
incidental (i.e., is intended to increase bicycle and pedestrian mode
share, thus reducing motorized vehicle mode share)
3. Serves areas where significant growth is planned (i.e., is not in or for areas
where growth is not planned or intended)
4. Improves connectivity of existing bicycle and pedestrian transportation
system (i.e. increases ability to reach more locations without interruptions,
thus increasing potential use of bicycle and pedestrian transportation)
5. Provides alternative to congested motorized traffic, (i.e., creates or
expands bicycle and pedestrian routes that are viable alternatives to
motorized travel in congested areas)
6. Improves buffering and/or safety for nonmotorized travel (i.e., will
enhance the security of bicycle and pedestrian travelers, thus increasing
usage)
7. Serves areas of transit and/or higher density (i.e., provides convenient
access to public transit and/or that support compact urban design)
Proposed bicycle and pedestrian projects are eligible for the mitigation fee
program only if they meet all three of the first three criteria:
1. adding capacity to bicycle and pedestrian facilities that are ...
2. primarily for transportation in ...
3. areas of significant growth.
In addition, projects that meet all three of criteria 1-3 are only included in the
mitigation fee program if they also provide at least two of the four outcomes in
criteria 4 - 7:
4. improve connectivity of existing nonmotorized facilities
5. provide alternatives to congested motorized traffic
6. improve buffering or safety for nonmotorized travel
7. serve areas of transit and/or higher density.
Table 2 lists the bicycle and pedestrian projects that are eligible for mitigation
fees. Lettered projects (i.e., A, B, C, etc.) are bicycle and trails projects.
Numbered projects (i.e., 1, 2, 5, etc.) are sidewalk projects.

Formula BP-2: New Development’s Share of Eligible Project Costs
New development’s share of costs of eligible bicycle and pedestrian projects
are calculated by multiplying the total cost of eligible bicycle and pedestrian
projects times the portion of the cost that benefits new development.

There are two variables that require explanation: (B) the costs of eligible bicycle
and pedestrian projects, and (C) the portion of the cost that benefits new
development.
Variable (B): Costs of Bicycle and Pedestrian Facility Projects
Renton has plans that identify capital projects needed to maintain the City's
current system of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and to meet the additional
demands from growth. The projects were analyzed in Formula BP-1 to
determine which projects are needed to serve growth. Table 2 lists the results of
that analysis.
The costs of bicycle and pedestrian projects used in this study include the full
cost of the project, including engineering, right of way, and construction costs.
The cost of bicycle and pedestrian projects does not include any costs for
interest or other financing. If the City decides in the future to borrow money for
bicycle and pedestrian facilities, the carrying costs for financing can be added
to the costs in this study, and the mitigation fee can be recalculated to include
such costs.
Variable (C): Portion of Costs that Benefits Current Development
New bicycle and pedestrian facilities will serve both new and existing
development. RCW 43.21C.060 authorizes cities to require mitigation of
development’s impacts, but limits the mitigation to the specific adverse impacts
caused by the proposed development. The specific adverse impact of new
development on bicycle and pedestrian facilities in Renton is the new
development’s share4 of new facilities that will serve both new and existing
development.
If the entire cost were charged only to new development, existing development
would receive a benefit without paying its share. Furthermore, that would shift
existing development’s share to new development in the form of increased
mitigation fees. The result would be that new development would be charged
for two impacts: its specific adverse impact (which is allowed by law) and
existing development’s specific adverse impacts (which is not defensible under
current law). In order to avoid this impermissible outcome, the impact of
development on bicycle and pedestrian facilities is calculated for all existing
4 New development’s aggregate cost will be individualized through the use of trip generation
rate that are unique for each of 64 land uses.

development and subtracted from total costs to determine the net cost that
directly benefits future development.
It is possible for bicycle and pedestrian improvement projects to create enough
capacity to directly benefit both the current population and new development.
The portion of project costs that are attributable to existing development is paid
by the City, and the portion that is not for the existing development is
attributable to future development and paid by the mitigation fee.
The portion of the cost that is attributable to current development is the current
development’s percent of total development in the year 2035. The
development data presented in the Chapter 2 (see New Development) was
analyzed, along with a comparable set of data that was used in the traffic
model.
The data shows that existing development is 66.93% of total development in the
year 2035, therefore 66.93% of the cost of bicycle and pedestrian facilities is
attributable to existing development. This portion must be paid by the City, and
therefore is excluded from the eligible cost when calculating the portion that
benefits new development.
CALCULATION OF BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN PROJECT COSTS BENEFITING NEW
DEVELOPMENT
The calculation of growth costs of bicycle and pedestrian projects that are
eligible for bicycle and pedestrian mitigation fees are presented in Table 3.
The project names and descriptions are from Table 2. The basis for the costs is
described in Variable (B). At the bottom of Table 3 the portion benefiting new
development as described above in Variable (C) is calculated by multiplying
new development’s portion of the total costs. The result is that $31,179,731 of the
cost of eligible bicycle and pedestrian facility projects benefit new
development.

Formula BP-3: Growth Person Trip Ends
The growth that will pay bicycle and pedestrian mitigation fees is measured by
the number of person trip ends using bicycles and walking. Person trip ends on
Renton’s bicycle and pedestrian facilities are calculated in three steps that use
vehicle trips, vehicle occupancy, and mode shares as significant variables.
These calculations are necessary because the number of persons using bicycle

Henderson,
Young & July 5, 2016 Page 19
Company
and pedestrian facilities are a portion of total person trips, but they are not
separately measured in traffic models or trip generation research, so they are
derived from other variables.
Formula BP-3 – Step 1
The first step multiplies the number of vehicle trip ends times the average
number of occupants per vehicle to calculate the person trip ends in motor
vehicles.
BP-3.1.

= Growth Person Trip
Ends Using Vehicles
There are two new variables used in the first step that require explanation: (D)
growth vehicle trip ends using Renton roads, and (E) average vehicle
occupancy.
Variable (D): Growth Vehicle Trip Ends Using Renton Bicycle and Pedestrian
Facilities
Renton uses traffic models to analyze trips on its roads. The model counts
vehicle trips. Only a portion of the vehicle trips are relevant to the bicycle and
pedestrian mitigation fee. The relevant vehicle trips are:
trips that use Renton’s roads, not the trips that travel through Renton
without stopping
trips from growth, not trips from existing development
Trips Using Renton’s Roads
Each trip has two ends: an origin and a destination. Some of the trip ends are
inside Renton. These are “internal” trip ends. Some of the trip ends are outside
Renton. These are “external” trip ends. The trip ends are analyzed separately
because some trip ends do not use Renton roads, bicycle and pedestrian
facilities. An example is a vehicle traveling through Renton on I-90 that does not
get off I-90 in Renton. These trips (both of their trip ends) are excluded from the
calculation of person trip ends for the bicycle and pedestrian mitigation fee.
Growth Trips
Bicycle and pedestrian mitigation fees are designed to have growth pay its
proportionate share of the cost of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The
mitigation fees are not charged to existing development. As a result, only the
trips from growth are relevant to the bicycle and pedestrian mitigation fee. The
source of data about growth trips is the City’s traffic model. The traffic model
uses recent traffic counts to measure trips from existing development. The model
AGENDA ITEM #3. a)
Nexus Study for Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Mitigation Fees • City of Renton
Henderson,
Young & July 5, 2016 Page 20
Company
then adds the City’s projected growth in residential housing units, and growth in
employment to forecast the amount of traffic in the future. The difference
between the current trips from existing development and the future trips is the
number of trips generated by growth.
Variable (E): Average Vehicle Occupancy
Some vehicles have only one occupant, and some have more than one
occupant. The Puget Sound Regional Council reports the average number of
persons per motor vehicle trip. Multiplying the average vehicle occupancy times
the number of vehicles calculates the total number of persons traveling in
vehicles, thus they are person trips in vehicles.
The bicycle and pedestrian mitigation fee is one component of Renton’s
program requiring development to mitigate its impact on multiple modes of
travel. Renton’s separate mitigation fee for bicycle and pedestrian facilities
measures person trips because those modes of travel are not in vehicles.
Formula BP-3 – Step 2
The second step divides the growth person trip ends using Renton’s roads by the
percent of all trip ends that use motor vehicles in order to calculate the growth
person trips in all modes of travel.
BP-3.2 Growth Person Trip
Ends Using Vehicles ÷ Percent Using
Motor Vehicles =
Growth Person Trip
Ends In All Modes Of
Travel
There is one new variable used in the second step that requires explanation: (F)
percent using motor vehicles.
Variable (F): Percent Using Motor Vehicles
Person trips on bicycle and pedestrian facilities are a portion of total person trips,
derived from other variables. In Step 1, data about motor vehicles and vehicle
occupancy was used to calculate the total number of person trips in vehicles.
Step 2 uses the percent of trips in all modes that are trips in motor vehicles. This
information comes from travel diaries and surveys conducted by the Puget
Sound Regional Council. The percent traveling in the motor vehicle mode, also
known as the “mode split” for that mode, is used in Step 2 to calculate the total
person trips in all modes of travel.
Formula BP-3 – Step 3

The third step subtracts the growth person trip ends using Renton’s roads in
vehicles from the total of all trip ends in all modes. The result is the number of
growth person trips using bicycle and pedestrian mode.

Variable (G) Trip Generation Rates.
The trip generation rates for the bicycle and pedestrian mitigation fee are
measured as the number of person trip ends in bicycle and pedestrian mode.
Formula BP-3 and Variables D and E, above, described the use of trip ends and
person trips. These same factors are used to calculate trip generation rates in
Appendix A.
CALCULATION OF BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MITIGATION FEE RATES FOR SPECIFIC
LAND USES
Table 6 shows the calculation of mitigation fee rates for frequently used
categories of land use. The trip generation rate of vehicle new person trip ends
(from Appendix A) is multiplied times the cost per growth person trip end
($7,630.30, from Table 5, and repeated in the column heading of the bicycle
and pedestrian mitigation fee rates).
Applicants for building permits who propose development in any of the land use
categories in Table 6 can calculate their total bicycle and pedestrian mitigation
fees as follows:
1. Select the appropriate land use category from Table 6, and find the
mitigation fee rate per unit in the bicycle and pedestrian mitigation fee rate
column.
2. Determine the number of "units" of development the applicant proposes to
build. ("Units" are listed next to each land use category).
3. Multiply the bicycle and pedestrian mitigation fee rate per unit by the
number of units to be built. The result is the bicycle and pedestrian mitigation
fee.
If the proposed development is not covered by any of the categories in Table 6,
the City will select the category that is most similar to the proposed
development, or the applicant can submit a trip generation study of its
proposed development.
The rates listed in Table 4 reflect the average impact of each type of
development on Renton’s bicycle and pedestrian system. The actual mitigation
amount will be calculated on an individualized basis for each applicant. Any
applicant that wishes to prepare their own determination of the impact of their
proposed development on bicycle and pedestrian systems may can use its own
experts to conduct its own study of its impacts, provided that the resulting
impact analysis and mitigation of impacts is consistent with the City’s criteria for
identifying bicycle and pedestrian facilities that are needed for new
development, as described in Variable (A) of Formula BP-1.

APPENDIX A - TRIP GENERATION RATES
This appendix describes how trip generation rates are calculated for person trips
for Renton’s transportation impact fee.
An established practice of mitigation fees is to begin with the data reported in
Trip Generation, compiled and published by the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE). The report is currently in its 9th edition (2012). The report is a
detailed compilation of data from hundreds of surveys of trip origins and
destinations conducted throughout the United States. The data is reported on
several variables (i.e., type of land use, units of development, number of
employees, hour of day, etc.). The data is reported as the number of vehicle trip
ends for each variable.
The data used in this nexus study is for trip ends generated during the p.m. peak
hour, since that is the same basis as the trip data from Renton’s model.
Mitigatiion fee rates are calculated in this study for many frequently used types
of land use (i.e., houses, apartments, offices, retail, restaurants, etc.). Mitigatiion
fees can be calculated for other land uses not listed in this nexus study by
referring to the data in the ITE report.
Trip generation data is reported by ITE as the total number of trips leaving and
arriving at each type of land use. The trips leaving are the origins, and the trips
arriving are the destinations. Each origin or destination is a trip end.
Several adjustments are made to each ITE trip generation rate so that the result
can be used to calculate the transportation impact fee for Renton.
First, the number of vehicle trips is converted to the number of person trips in
vehicles. As noted in Chapter 3, person trips are needed for transportation
impact fees and Renton’s bicycle and pedestrian mitigation fees (a separate
study) in order to apportion total person trips between the modes of travel.
Converting vehicle trip ends to person trip ends in vehicles is accomplished by
multiplying the ITE vehicle trip generation rate times the vehicle occupancy rate
for Renton (1.353 persons per vehicle reported by the Puget Sound Regional
Council).
Second, the person trips in all modes of travel is determined by dividing the
person trips in vehicles by the mode share of trips in vehicles (74.2% according to
the City’s transportation consultant). The result is the total person trips in all
modes of travel at each land use.
AGENDA ITEM #3. a)
Nexus Study for Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Mitigation Fees • City of Renton
Henderson,
Young & July 5, 2016 Page 26
Company
The third adjustment is to reduce the number of trips charged to land uses that
are incidental attractors and generators of trips. For example, if a person leaves
work to return home at the end of the work day, the place of employment is the
origin, and the home is the destination. But if the person stops en route to run an
errand at a store, the ITE data counts the stop at the store as a new destination
(and a new origin when the person leaves the store). In reality, the work-to-
home trip was going to occur regardless of the incidental stop, therefore the trip
rate of the store should not be charged as an additional impact on the road
system. The adjustment is based on the number of "pass-by" trips that stop at the
store instead of "passing by." In the trip generation table these trips are
eliminated by counting only the trips that are truly "new" trips (i.e., a person
made a special trip to the store). The adjustment is shown in Table 7 as "Percent
New Trips." This data is from ITE’s Trip Generation Handbook, Second Edition
(2004), and from Renton’s 2011 Impact Fee Rate Study.
The last step is to calculate the number of new person trip ends that are
attributable to the bicycle and pedestrian mode (with the remainder
attributable to the motor vehicle mode).
CALCULATION OF TRIP GENERATION RATES FOR SPECIFIC LAND USES
Table 7 on the next page shows the calculation of bicycle and pedestrian
person trip generation rates for frequently used categories of land use. The ITE
trip rate in column 4 is multiplied times average vehicle occupancy of 1.353,
then divided by motorized mode share of 74.2% and the result is in column 5. The
percent new trips, in column 6, is multiplied times the person trips from column 5,
and resulting new person trips is listed in column 7. The vehicle new person trip
generation rates in column 8 are calculated by multiplying the new trips from
column 7 times 16.7%, which is the percent of person trips on bicycles or walking
in Renton (the other 83.3%are in motor vehicles).
