Bernardo, Surface Water Utility Engineer, ext. 7265 SUBJECT:Adoption of the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual with City Amendments to Meet the Requirements of the Department of Ecology’s 2013-2018 Western Washington NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit ISSUE: Should the Council approve the City Code revisions to adopt the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual with City amendments to meet the requirements of the Department of Ecology’s 2013-2018 Western Washington NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the City Code revisions to adopt the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual with City amendments to meet the requirements of the Department of Ecology’s 2013-2018 Western Washington NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: The Department of Ecology’s 2013-2018 Western Washington NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit (NPDES Phase II Permit) requires changes in the standards controlling runoff from new development, redevelopment and construction sites (see NPDES Permit section S5.C.4 for details) through the adoption of the 2012 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, or an approved equivalent Stormwater Manual by December 31, 2016. The current adopted 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) with City amendments will no longer be in compliance with the requirements of the 2013- 2018 NPDES Phase II Permit. There are two manuals available for the City to adopt that are in compliance with the NPDES Phase II Permit requirements: AGENDA ITEM #1. a) Mr. Corman, Council President Page 2 of 5 October 27, 2016 \HCBtp The 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), which the Department of Ecology has deemed equivalent to the 2012 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (2012 Ecology Manual). This option would include adopting the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual with City amendments and code revisions to Renton Municipal Code Title IV. The Department of Ecology’s 2012 Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (2012 Ecology Manual). This option would include adopting the 2012 Ecology Manual with a detailed Renton addendum that would provide additional technical guidance and code revisions to Renton Municipal Code Title IV. Staff recommends adopting the 2016 KCSWDM with City amendments for the following reasons: The City currently follows the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual so there is consistency in approach between this manual and the 2016 KCSWDM. The 2016 KCSWDM went through an extensive public involvement process. The Department of Ecology has approved the 2016 KCSWDM as equivalent to the 2012 Ecology Manual. The 2016 KCSWDM contains more detailed guidance and design details, which is helpful for developers, engineers, and plan reviewers. In particular, the 2016 KCSWDM contains guidance on items such as conveyance requirements that are not covered in the 2012 Ecology Manual. King County provides excellent technical and interpretation support and training on the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual. The following are the most significant changes in the 2016 KCSWDM from the currently adopted 2009 KCSWDM: New Core Requirement No. 9 where Low Impact Development (LID) Best Management Practices (BMPs) are required to the maximum extent feasible for all impervious and pervious surfaces including new development, redevelopment, single-family in-fill, and transportation projects. The 2009 KCSWDM Core Requirement No. 3 required a percentage of the lot area be directed to LID facilities or handled through LID practices. Transportation projects were exempt from the use of LID. AGENDA ITEM #1. a) Mr. Corman, Council President Page 3 of 5 October 27, 2016 \HCBtp The 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual requires the use of LID to assess feasibility in the following order: 1) full dispersion 2) full infiltration of roof runoff 3) full infiltration, limited infiltration, bioretention, pervious pavement and 4) basic dispersion. Green roofs are no longer listed in the 2016 KCSWDM as an on-site BMP and the use of rainwater harvesting requires an approved drainage adjustment. Feasibility and infeasibility are clearly defined for each LID BMPs. Soils report will guide project siting and layout. The LID BMPs must be implemented if determined to be feasible based upon the criteria. 2009 KCSWDM drainage review types include small, targeted, full and large project. The 2016 KCSWDM drainage review types include simplified, targeted, directed, full and large project. The Small Project Drainage Review name has been changed to Simplified Drainage Review. Directed Drainage Review is added to streamline projects that do not qualify for Simplified Drainage Review to be directed by City staff to meet standard requirements. Updated methods for sizing water quality facilities. Flow control implementation and sizing credits for use of Low Impact Development techniques have been modified from 50% impervious/50% grass to 90% impervious/10% grass for limited infiltration, basic dispersion and bioretention. King County Runoff Time Series modeling software was replaced with the Department of Ecology’s Washington Hydraulic Model 2012 and MGSFlood as approved models. For LID implementation, the 2016 KCSWDM proposes a list menu of LID BMPs to be used on-site, if feasible. Bioretention and limited infiltration are set on par with permeable pavement for use in the prescribed list. Alternatively, a Low Impact Development performance standard can be used by projects, which utilized the hydrologic model to analyze the implementation of LID BMPs on the site until the developed discharge duration matches the pre-developed discharge duration for a specific range of discharge rates. Similar to the current City amendments to the 2009 KCSWDM, the proposed City amendments to the 2016 KCSWDM will reflect the unique requirements in Renton, while still ensuring compliance with the NPDES Phase II Permit. For instance, the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual refers to King County Code sections, departments and divisions. The City amendments to the 2016 KCSWDM will state the relevant Renton Municipal Code sections and will refer to the appropriate departments. The City amendments will also include Renton specific interpretations of definitions, and AGENDA ITEM #1. a) Mr. Corman, Council President Page 4 of 5 October 27, 2016 \HCBtp implementation requirements that assist developers, engineers and plan reviewers by explaining the City revisions to the 2016 KCSWDM. Examples are: Flow control and water quality thresholds and standards specific to Renton. Renton specific groundwater protection requirements that preclude infiltration in Zone 1 of the Aquifer Protection Area. Fencing and landscaping requirements already in code and not currently reflected in the stormwater manual. The ability to use bioretention as a water quality treatment facility and other Department of Ecology approved proprietary water quality treatment facilities. The ability to use rain gardens and green roofs as an on-site BMP. The option to use sizing credits when modeling flow control and water quality treatment facilities. The 2013-2018 NPDES Phase II Permit requirements to adopt the 2012 Ecology Manual or an approved equivalent will likely change the complexity of stormwater design and implementation. The 2016 KCSWDM will change surface water requirements for development and City projects. City transportation, parks, and other CIP projects will also be required to implement the new LID requirements, if feasible. In the 2009 KCSWDM, low impact development for right-of-way projects was recommended, but not required. Under the new standards, LID for right-of-way projects that create more than 2,000 square feet of new plus replaced impervious surface is now required to the maximum extent feasible. The 2016 KCSWDM includes maintenance performance standards that apply to both publicly and privately-maintained facilities. LID facilities have different maintenance needs and costs than existing stormwater facilities. We anticipate a large number of small LID facilities that will be privately maintained, and may need to be inspected by City staff. Various City stakeholders including the Public Works Department and the Department of Community and Economic Development have worked together on the 2016 City amendments and the ordinance adopting the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual with City amendments. The Surface Water Utility also worked with the Planning Commission to review potential code revisions to Title 4 and Title 9, to remove LID barriers and to encourage infiltration to the maximum extent feasible. An open house on the proposed code revisions to Title 4 and Title 9, and a public hearing were held to provide public outreach and the opportunity to comment on the adoption of the 2016 KCSWDM with City amendments. AGENDA ITEM #1. a) Mr. Corman, Council President Page 5 of 5 October 27, 2016 \HCBtp Once approved, additional training on the adoption of the 2016 KCSWDM with City amendments will be conducted to inform the development community, the public and City staff about the changes. We are requesting approval of the City Code changes associated with the adoption of the 2016 King County Surface Water Design Manual with City amendments. The code changes will be incorporated into an ordinance that includes the Low Impact Development code revisions, previously approved by Council on September 26, 2016. CONCLUSION: The City is responsible for regulating the design, construction and maintenance of development, including City’s capital projects to minimize impacts to our surrounding storm and surface water systems. Council is requested to adopt the 2016 KCSWDM with City amendments to meet the requirements of the Western Washington NPDES Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit by the December 31, 2016 deadline.

This 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.

EXHIBITS: A. Issue Paper B. Site Plan C.

AGENDA ITEM #3. a) DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M DATE:July 25, 2016 TO:Randy Corman, Council President Members of Renton City Council VIA:Denis Law, Mayor FROM:C. E. “Chip” Vincent, CED Administrator x6588 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 #3. 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.

The proposed list of amendments includes City initiated amendments as shown in the 2016 Title IV Docket #12 Amendments Table and was arrived at after consultation with the Planning Commission and Planning & Development Committee. CONCLUSION: The proposed schedule for review of the Title IV Docket #12 Amendments is for the Planning Commission review to occur during October 2016 through April 2017. AGENDA ITEM #4. a) 2016 TITLE IV DOCKET #12 AMENDMENTS City Initiated Amendments Hearing Examiner Evidence Conflict between the “limited new evidence” rule of Reg Reform and the reconsideration provision of the RMC. See Seelig HEX decision, 05.01.2012. Rezone Criteria: Criteria used to evaluate proposed rezones is absent of typical considerations. For example, rezone criteria does not evaluate surrounding uses/zones, existing development or property characteristics of the site, or the 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 Parties of Record Redefine “Party of Record” in order to determine what constitutes “testimony” and “timely.” Staff is unable to determine when parties of record are no longer able to be established, and what is considered testimony. Clustering Provisions Change of clustering provisions to use PUD provision of RMC or establish standards for clustering beyond open space and clustering should be limited to circumstances where minimum density cannot be achieved. Street and Road Modification Pursuant to Hearing Examiner decision, clarify which modification criteria should be used when evaluating street modifications and waivers. Add clarity to the code as to which should be used. Doggy Daycare “Doggy daycare” facilities are intended for temporary boarding, recreation, and 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. Deep Green Incentive Program (DGIP) 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 AGENDA ITEM #4. a) 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.). Downtown Streetscape Standards Adopt standards for public realm, specific to Downtown, including benches, lighting, trash receptacles, street furniture, and landscaping. Undergrounding Review regulations and provisions related to undergrounding of franchise utilities. Renton Municipal Arts Commission Review and clarify roles and responsibilities related to RMAC. Also evaluate requirement for private developers to include art in their projects. Live Work Units Clarify what commercial uses should be allowed in the R-14, CN, and CA zones. Add Commercial Neighborhood (CN) Zone to a Design District Consider adding the CN zone to a design district to ensure new development has high quality design for pedestrians and environment. 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 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. 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. Threshold Analysis and Minimum Density for the COR Zone Conduct a threshold analysis to establish standards for commercial uses, office uses and residential uses to establish minimum standards for those uses in the Commercial Office Residential (COR) zone. Evaluate minimum density in combination with a threshold analysis. Private Party Initiated Requests Projections into Setbacks Allow porches to extend into rear yards to protect back door from rain and sun. Low Intensity Commercial in R-14 Consider allowing commercial uses, such as offices, in the R-14 zone. Small Cell and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) Verizon Wireless has requested the City adopt code amendments to allow small cell and DAS technology on utility poles and street lights. Small cell and DAS equipment are significantly smaller than other common technology (i.e., cell phone towers with large antenna), yet they would be located in the public right-of-way in a dense pattern (the individual units create a network).
