RECOMMENDATION:
Refer the 2019 Title IV Docket #14 Amendments to the Planning and Development
Committee and Planning Commission for review. Following this review, the Planning
Commission will present code revision recommendations to Council.

The review of the Development Regulations (Title IV Docket) process is specifically

Commission will make recommendations regarding the Land Use Regulations to the
Council. Final recommendation of the Title IV Docket will be the authority of the
Council.
Title IV Development Regulations
This process is codified in RMC 4-9-025, Title IV Development Regulation Revision
Process. Staff has compiled a series of amendments to Title IV of the Renton Municipal
Code (Development Regulations) that initiates several new regulatory initiatives that
respond to important issues facing the City. The proposed list of amendments includes
City initiated amendments as shown in the 2019 Title IV Docket #14 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 #14 Amendments is for the
Planning Commission review to occur during May 2019 to November 2019.
AGENDA ITEM #2. a)
2019 TITLE IV DOCKET #14 AMENDMENTS
City Initiated Amendments
Modifications
Review all sections of the code to determine if a modification is the appropriate means to vary from the code
section. Provide clarity in the code as to what can be modified and what requires a variance. For example, can
a new public road be modified via the modification process outside the PUD?
*Specific review of the modification criteria used for Design Districts. There are 11 evaluation criteria and it
seems to conflict with the intent of the code design where the standards doesn’t have to be met if the intent and
the guidelines are complied with. See the beginning of the code section 4-3-100. RMC4-4-070.R requires a
variance to deviate from the provisions of the Landscaping Regulations. A modification process should also be
available for minor departures from Code.
Construction & Demolition Materials Diversion
King County has adopted construction and waste diversion regulations (i.e., which materials may be transported
to a dump vs. which materials are required to be recycled); however, their regulations are only in effect within
incorporated areas once the materials leave the jobsite (i.e., once on a public road regardless of jurisdiction).
King County has requested cities adopt their diversion regulations so there is consistency and more recyclable
materials are transported to the appropriate facility.
SEPA Amendments
Amend SEPA Authority to reference 4 members, instead of 3.
Add ERC’s role to NEPA.
Update SEPA regulations to be consistent with newly adopted state laws including public notice
requirements to eliminate the publication requirement.
Add CMZ to the inapplicable exemptions.
RMC 4-8-070, Review Authority.
Binding Site Plan is not listed under any of the approving authorities. They can be either administrative or
Hearing Examiner.
Site Plan Review
Update criteria for site plan review modification. The criteria does not address building design or the design
district criteria. This can result in a project receiving site plan review approval with a particular design and a
complete new building and site plan can be submitted without the requirement to go through the public
comment process.
Design Requirements for Assisted Living and Convalescent Care Facilities Located in Residential Zones
As the code is drafted both of these uses can be placed in low density residential zones with bonus density,
however these uses do not have any requirement to comply with residential design standards and/or commercial
design standards to help these large scale facilities fit into the small scale residential character of low density
residential zones.
Review Conditional Use Permit Criteria
Consider increasing height in CD Zone
Consider height and bonus density
Update Stream Classification
Stream reclassification for Maplewood Creek Subarea stream based on biological assessments.
Copperwood Preliminary Plat resulted in a reclassification of a stream that needs to be adopted as a part
of the Stream Classification Map.
Remapping of contiguous open space corridor
Reclass a stream from Class 4 to Class 3 for the Roman Short Plat
Based on recommendations from the Muckleshoot Tribe’s Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission,
review the City’s stream classification against the State and WDFW, ensure consistency between our
AGENDA ITEM #2. a)
classification and the states.
Temporary Use Permit Criteria for Wireless Facilities
Update TUPs to have specific criteria for wireless facilities. Lessons learned from a recent
Public Works and Civil Construction Permits
Add language in Title 4 that defines applicability, process procedures, and expiration for Public Works and Civil
Construction Permits (i.e. right of way use permits, civil construction permits, utility permits, etc.). Clarify
language in Title 9-2 to define the procedures, requirements, and allowed use under a right of way use permit
(short time use of right of way) and a revocable right of way use permit (long term use of right of way). In
addition, define specialized right-of-way use permits for uses such as food trucks and sidewalk cafes.
Housekeeping
Chapter by chapter review of the code which includes:
Eliminate reference to Comprehensive Plan’s Community Design Element in RMC 4-9-250D. Modification
Procedures
Remove references to 4-1-170
and others as identified
ADU Review
Review regulations and rules for ADUs. Consider streamlining process and design/development regulations
associated with them. Also consider the fee structure of impact fees, permit fees, and utility fees.
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?
Authority and Criteria for Phasing Large Scale Projects
Identify authority and criteria to require phasing for large scale projects.
R-10 and R-14 Open Space Requirements
There is ambiguity and inconsistency in the Common Open Space Standards of RMC 4-2-115. The minimum
dimension for open space is 20 ft. which is the same as the pedestrian access easement dimension. Staff should
consider if the 20 ft. dimension is appropriate for common open space and/or pedestrian access easement.
These two items should have a distinct difference in the code, whereas today they are the same.
Design District for the CO Zone
Consider adding the CO zone to a design district to ensure development in this zone is held to the same
standards as other commercial development.
Auto Mall Area B
Review the boundaries of Auto Mall Area B.
Impact Fee Credit
Add a maximum amount of time in which a new development can claim impact fee credit from a previously
existing use on the site once that use has either stopped operations and/or has been removed for demolished.
