Central Renton Sewer lnterceptor Reline & Upsize
The Public Works Department has reviewed the bids that were submitted for the
Central Renton Sewer Interceptor Reline & Upsize project and we recammend that the
bid be awarded to Road Construction Northwest, Inc. We are requesting that an agenda
bill for Council Concur be prepared for the lune 22, 2015, Council Meeting. The bid
opening was on Tuesday, June 9, 2015. There were four bids received.
The low bidder was Road Construction Northwest, Inc. with a bid of$393,970.05. The
engineer's estimate was$347,560.88. The three low bidders bid prices for bid item #1,
"Mobilization & Demobilization", exceeded the requirement that the price for this item
"may not be more than 10% of the total amount of the bid". The low bidder's price for
this item was 11.12%of the total bid. The Wastewater Utility consulted with the City
Attorney's office that agreed that this could be considered a minor irregularity and
could be waived because it is in the "best interest of the Contracting Agency" as
specified by Standard Specification 1-13.1 of the projects contract document.
The project budget amount for the Central Renton Sewer Interceptor Reline & Upsize
project (426.465497) is $500,000. The low bid for the Central Renton Sewer lnterceptor
Reline & Upsize project is within the amount approved in the 2015 budget for this
project.
The project will replace 122 feet of undersized sewer with new 24" diameter sewer and
reline 660 feet of existing 24" sanitary sewer.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Established in 2011, the Take A Warrior Fishing program is designed to support military personnel
and their families by creating an adaptive community-based outdoor recreation experience through
the sport of fishing. Participating individuals and families are provided fishing equipment and
safety gear, paired with experienced �shermen and head out onto the lake for about three hours of
fishing and boating. They return to join volunteers, families, and friends for a barbeque lunch and a
free raffle hosted by local service clubs.
The primary goals of this program are to encourage outdoor recreation as a therapeutic outlet;
support positive social interactions that help transitioning service members rebuild connections with
the civilian world; restore the disconnect in the home by increasing family interaction; and empower
Veterans to advocate for positive self growth and change.
This annual Renton event will again host 4�50 local military families, along with many local
fishermen, volunteers, and numerous community partners. Representatives from many local
outdoors groups will also be on-site to share information about participation in their organizations.
Staff believes this event is beneficial to the overall well being of the community and waiving the boat
launch and applicable fees is one way to show support for our troops and their families. Staff supports
the requested fee waivers for the Take A Warrior Fishing event scheduled for September 19, 2015, at

NE 31st Street is a low volume local access road,that serves as the only public access to several homes.
The NE 31st Street Bridge (Structure ID: 08557300) is structurally deficient, with a sufficiency rating of 27.
The structure was built in 1950. It is a two span bridge with precast channel girders supported on timber
pile caps. Each timber pile cap is supported on five timber piles. The center pier has two piles (middle and
adjacent)that have severe rot that is diminishing their ability to carry vertical loads. In 2014,temporary
vertical supports were instafled at the center pier to increase the load carrying capacity.Total span= 32 feet.

Environmental Considerations
The existing bridge is founded on timber piling. The timber piling is exposed to May Creek.
The timber piling is coated with (what is assurned to be)creosote as a preservative.
It is also suspected that additional piling resides within the road section from a previous timber trestle.

Existing overhead power(Puget Sound Ene�gy)and communication lines(CenturyLink and Comcast)
potentially conflict with anticipated construction activities. It is anticipated that these overhead lines
will need to be temporarily relocated to eliminate these conflicts with construction activities(e.g.driving
pi(e, setting girders, etc.).This work will be performed by the owners of these facilities subject to the
terms and conditions of any active franchise agreements with the City and/or City code. It is anticipated
that the overhead lines will be raised within existing the right-of-way for the duration of construction and
then lowered back into place once construction is complete.

The project was advertised for construction April 14, 2015 and a contract for$868,454
was awarded to low bidder DPK, Inc. at the May 18 Council meeting. Construction is
expected to commence in July with an approximate duration of seven months. The
scope and magnitude of construction of this project and the recordkeeping that it
requires make it necessary to retain a consulting firm to provide construction
management services. BergerABAM, Inc. was selected from several consultant firms on
the eCityGov web site and was determined to have sufficient experience, resources, and
capabilities to provide the needed services.
The cost proposal from BergerABAM, Inc. of$176,577 is below the engineer's

Alleged Consu/tant Design Error Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to estabiish a procedure to determine if a consultant's alleged design error is of a
nature that exceeds the accepted standard of care. In addition, it will establish a uniform method for the resolution
and/or cost recovery procedures in those instances where the agency believes it has suffered some material damage
due to the alleged error by the consultant.
Step 1 Potential Coasultant Design Error(s)is Identified by Agency's Project Manager
At the first indication of potential consultant design error(s),the first step m the process is for the Aaency s
project manager to notify the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer regarding the potential design
error(s). For federally funded projects,the Region Local Programs Engineer should be informed and
involved in these procedures. (Note: The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer may appoint an
agency staffperson other than the project manager, who has not been as directly involved in the project,
to be responsible for the remaining steps in these procedures.)
Step 2 Project Manager pocuments the Alleged Consultant Desiga Error(s)
After discussion of the alleged design error(s) and the magnitud of the alleg d erroi(s , '.th the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer's concurrence the project manager ob ' s o detailed
documentation than is normally reqeaired on the project. Examples include•atl decisions and description
of work;photographs,records of labor,materials and equipment.
Step 3 Contact the Consultant Regarding the Alleged Design Error(s)
If it is determined that there is a need to proceed further,the nex 'n the proce s i for the project
manager to contact the consultant regarding the alleged design e s) and the magiutude of the alleged
error s . The ro'ect mana er and other a ro riate a enc sta$ i re re ent the agency and the
� ) P J g PP P g Y P
consultant should be represented by their project manger and any �nnel including sub-con ultants)
deemed appropriate for the alleged design error(s) issue.
Step 4 Attempt to Resolve Alleged Design Error with Consultant
After the meeting(s) with the consultant have been completed regarding the consultant's alleged design
error(s), there are three possible scenarios:
• It is deteimined via mutual agreement that there is not a consultant design error(s). If this is the case,
then the process will not proceed beyond tlus point.
• It is determined via mutual agreement that a consultant design error(s) occuned. If this is the case,
then the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, or their representatives,negotiate a settlement
with the consultant. The settlement would be paid to the agency or the amount would be reduced from
the consultant's agreement with the agency for the services on the project in which the design enor
took place. The agency is to provide LP,through the Region Local Programs Engineer, a summary
of the settlement for review and to make adjustments, if any, as to how the settlement affects federal
reimbursements.No further action is required.
• There is not a mutual agreement regarding the alleged consultant design error(s).The consultant may
request that the alleged design error(s) issue be forwarded to the Director of Public Works or Agency
Engineer for review. If the D'uector of Public Works or Agency Engineer, after review with their legal
counsel, is not able to reach mutual agreement with the consultant,proceed to Step 5.
Agreement Number:
WSDOT Fortn 140 089 EF Exhibit 1 Page 1 of 2
Revised f 0/30/2014
Step 5 Forward Documents to Local Programs
For federally funded projects all available infonnation,including costs, should be forwarded through the
Region Local Programs Engineer to LP for their review and consultation with the FHWA. LP will meet
with representatives of the agency and the consultant to review the alleged design error(s), and attempt
to find a resolution to the issue.If necessary,LP will request assistance from the Attorney General's Office
for legal interpretation. LP will also identify how the alleged error(s) affects eligibility of project costs
for federal reimbursement.
• If mutual agreement is reached, the agency and consultant adjust the scope of work and costs
to reflect the agreed upon resolution. LP, in consultation with FHWA,will identify the amount
of federal participation in the agreed upon resolution of the issue.
• If mutual agreement is not reached,the agency and consultant may seek settlement by arbitration
or by litigation.

Consultant Claim Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to describe a procedure regarding claim(s) on a consultant agreement.The following
procedures should only be utilized on consultant claims greater than$1,000. If the consultant's claim(s)are a total
of$1,000 or less, it would not be cost effective to proceed through the outlined steps. It is suggested that the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer negotiate a fair and reasonable price for the consultant's ciaim(s)

the additional work; and
• Explanation as to why the consultant believes the additional work was outside of the agreement
scope of work.
Step 2 Review by Agency Personnel Regarding the Consultant's Claim forAdditional Compensation
After the consultant has completed step 1,the next step in the process is to forward the request to the
Agency's project manager.The project manager will review the consultant's claim and will met with the
D'uector of Public Works or Agency Engineer to determine if the Agency agrees with the claim. If the
FHWA is participating in the project's funding, forward a copy of the consultant's claim and the Agency's
recommendation for federal participation in the claim to the WSDOT Local Programs throu�h the Region
Local Programs Engineer. If the claim is not eligible for federal participation,payment will need to be from
agency funds.
If the Agency project manager,Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer,WSDOT Local Programs
(if app(icable),and FHWA(if applicable)aa ee with the consultant's claim,send a request memo including
backup documentation to the consultant to either supplement the agreement, or create a new agreement

the claim, or portions thereof,which may include getting Agency Council or Commission approval(as
appropriate to agency dispute resolution procedures). If the project involves federal participation, obtain
concurrence from WSDOT Local Programs and FHWA regarding final settlement of the claim. If the claim
is not eligible for federal participation,payment will need to be from agency funds.
Step 5 Informing Consultant of Decisioa Regarding the Claim

future accessibility and maintainability for the Water Utility ($60,000).
. Relocation and reconnection of an existing sewer service from the airport to the new sewer main
to the lift station ($18,500).
The 2014-2015 budget for the Airport Lift Station Replacement Project is $850,000 (426.465483). The
unt bud eted for this ro'ect is enou h to cover the construction en ineerin and staff costs of this

RENTON LAND USE PLAN
Renton's Land Use schema identifies six types of land uses: Residential Low Density, Residential Medium
Density, Residential High Density, Commercial &Mixed Use, Employment Area,and Commercial Office
Residential. Each of these land uses has designated zones that detail the types of land uses allowed in those
zones.The table below identifies the six land use designations and the zones that implement each land use
designation. Policies for each designation and implementing zone follow.
Policy L-15: Residential Low Density—Place lands constrained by sensitive areas,those intended to provide
transition to the rural area,or those appropriate for larger lot housing within the Residential Low Density land
use designation to allow for a range of lifestyles.
. Resource Conservation Zone—Zone lands with significant environmental constraints,which are not
� appropriate for urban development, lands suitable for environmental conservation or restoration,and
Mlands used for agriculture or natural resource extraction for Resource Conservation(RC). RC zoning is
'� allowed in the Residential Low Density and Employment Area Land Use Designations.

'a • Residential-4 Zone—Zone lands suitable for larger lot housing and suburban,estate-style dwellings
� compatible with the scale and density of the surrounding area Residential-4(R-4). R-4 zoning is allowed
in the Residential Low Density Land Use Designation.
• Residential Manufactured Home Park Zone—Lands with existing manufactured home parks as
established uses should be zoned Residential Manufactured Home Park(RMH). RMH zoning is allowed in
the Residential Low Density and Residential Medium Density Land use Designations.

Policy L-16:Residential Medium Density—Place areas that can support high-quality,compact, urban
0 development with access to urban services,transit,and infrastructure,whether through new development or
� through infill,within the Residential Medium Density(MD) Designation.Within the MD Designation,allow a
yvariety of single-family and multi-family development types,with continuity created through the application of
'� design guidelines,the organization of roadways,sidewalks, public spaces,and the placement of community
�+ gathering places and civic amenities.
0
� • Residential-6 Zone—Zone lands Residential-6(R-6)where there is land suitable for larger lot
� development,an opportunity for infill development,an existing pattern of single-family development in
� the range of four to eight units per net acre,and where critical areas are limited. R-6 zoning is allowed in
� the Residential Medium Density Land Use Designation.
�
� • Residentiat-8 Zone—Zone lands Residential-8 R-8 where there is o
a ( ) pportunity to re-invest in existing
� single-family neighborhoods through infill or the opportunity to develop new single-family plats at urban
o�'c densities greater than four dwelling units per acre. R-8 zoning is allowed in the Residential Medium
Density Land Use Designation.
Policy L-17:Residential High Density—Designate land for Residential High Density(HD)where access,
topography,and adjacent land uses create conditions appropriate for a variety of unit types,or where
there is existing multi-family development. HD unit types are designed to incorporate features from both
� � single-family and multi-family developments,support cost-efficient housing,facilitate infill development,

M � High Density Land Use designation.
3
o • Residential Multi-Family Zone—Zone lands Residential Multi-Family(RMF)where there is existing
� (or vested) multi-family development of one-acre or greater in size. Expanded RMF zoning should
only be where access is from a street classified as a Principal arterial, Minor arterial,or collector,
and where existing multi-family is abutting at least two property sides. RMF zoning implements the
Residential High Density Land Use Designation.

Policy U-18:Commercial and Mixed Use—Piace areas with established commercial and office areas near
principle arterials within the Commercial and Mixed Use(CMU) Land Use designation.Allow residential
uses as part of mixed-use developments, and support new office and commercial development that is
more intensive than what exists to create a vibrant district and increase employment opportunities.The
intention of this designation is to transform strip commercial development into business districts through
the intensification of uses and with cohesive site planning, landscaping,signage, circulation, parking,and
the provision of public amenity features.
• Commercial Neighborhood Zone—Zone lands Commercial Neighborhood (CN)that provide goods
and services on a small-scale to a surrounding residential neighborhood and that front on a street
classified as a Principal arterial, Minor arterial,or Collector. Expanded CN zoning should only be
where there is opportunity to provide small limited-scale commercial opportunity to the
immediately surrounding residential community that would not result in an increase in scale or
intensity,which would alter the character of the nearby residential neighborhood.The CN zone
implements the Residential High Density Land Use designation.
00 • Commercial Arterial Zone—Zone lands Commercial Arterial (CA)zoning where a historical strip
c
o pattern dominates,characterized by large surface parking in front of buildings, long blocks
�' oriented to automobiles,and an incomplete street grid. CA zoning should be located within one-

Center, if there is a potential for the creation of dense employment, destination retail, recreation,
or public gathering space with the Urban Center(UC)zone.The Urban Center zoned areas have
large parcels of land with the potential for large scale redevelopment opportunities that will
create a mixed-use retail,employment,and residential center. UC zoning implements the
Commercial and Mixed Use land use designation.
• Commercial Office Zone—Zone large parcels of land,which are highly visible from arterials or
highways and located on existing or planned transit routes,for Commercial Office(CO)if they
contain,or are suitable for, medium-to high-intensity office use. Limited residential mixed-use
development is allowed in close proximity to select transit services.This zone implements the
Commercial and Mixed Use and Employment Area Land Use Designations.

� � o
Policy 1-19:Employment Areas—Place areas primarily used for industrial development,or a mix of
commercial and industrial uses such as office, industrial,warehousing,and manufacturing,with access to
transportation networks and transit,within the Employment Area (EA) Land Use Designation. Employment
Areas provide a significant economic development and employment base for the City. Maintain a variety and
balance of uses through zoning which promotes the gradual transition of uses on sites with good access and
visibility to more intensive commercial and office uses.
uar+ • Light Industrial Zone—Zone property Light Industrial (IL)where it is appropriate for very low-intensity
� manufacturing and industrial services. Uses and potential impacts of uses in this zone are fully
Q contained within their buildings.This zone implements the Commercial Development and
� Employment Area Land Use Designations.

LEVELS OF SERVICE
Levels of service are objective standards of capacity or services that specify minimum metrics and provide an
unbiased basis for assessing the need for new facilities or capacity.These standards are established at the local
level and influenced by citizen, City Council,and Planning Commission recommendations, national and regional
standards, state and federal laws,the City's population, and fiscal resources.

Commute Trip Reduction(CTR�: A Washington state law requiring counties with a population greater than
150,000 to implement a plan to reduce single occupant commute trips and number of commute trip vehicle
miles traveled per employee by employees of major public and private sector employers. The plan is developed
in cooperation with local transit agencies, regional transportation planning organizations, major employers, and
the owners of and employers at major worksites.
Concurrency: A Growth Management Act requirement that transportation facilities and other infrastructure,
such as water and sewer, needed to maintain adopted Level of Service (LOS) standards, are available within six
years of development at the time of occupancy or within a specified time period.
Conductor: A wire or cable intended to carry electric power, supported by poles,towers or other structures.
Countywide Planning Policies(CPPs): A series of policies that address growth management issues in King
County. The CPPs provide a countywide vision and serve as a framework for each jurisdiction to develop its own
comprehensive plan,which must be consistent with the overall vision for the future of King County.
Critical areas: Wetlands, aquifer recharge areas,fish and wildlife habitat,frequently flooded,and geologically
hazardous areas regulated by the City of Renton's Critical Areas Ordinance.
Demand (Water Utility): The quantity of water obtained from the water supply source over a period of time to
meet the needs of domestic, commercial, industrial and public use, and also firefighting water, system losses,
and miscellaneous other water uses. Demands are normally discussed in terms of flow rate,such as million
gallons per day(mgd) or gallons per minute(gpm). The flow rates can be described in terms of a volume of
water delivered during a certain time period. Flow rates pertinent to the analysis and design of water systems
are:
a. Average Daily Demand (ADD). The total amount of water delivered to the system in a year divided
by the number of days in the year. This is further divided into average residential (ADDR),
commercial (ADDC), industrial (ADDI), and unaccounted for(ADDN)demands.
b. Maximum Month Demand. The total amount of water delivered to the system during the month of
maximum water use.
c. Peak Hour Demand. The amount of water delivered to the system in the hour of maximum use
usually occurring during the maximum day.
Density: The number of dwelling units per acre. See"net density."
Density bonus: Incentive provided to a developer of housing, in exchange for meeting a specified condition or
conditions such as quality of design or provision of a certain type of housing unit or other use.

release it to the point of discharge at a controlled rate or to hold water for a considerable length of time and
then consume it by evaporation, plants or infiltration into the ground.
Development standards: Restrictions, requirements and provisions for land development imposed by
ordinance. In Renton, development standards are included in the Renton Municipal Code Title IV,
"Development Regulations."
Duplex: A residential building located on a single lot that contains two attached dwelling units under one roof.
Also known as a "flat."
Dwelling unit: One or more rooms located within a structure, designed as and arranged for living
accommodations,and occupied or intended to be occupied by not more than one family and permitted roomers
PAGE III
� � , .

facilities within the room or rooms shall be evidence of the existence of a dwelling unit. Dormitories,
institutional housing, and other group quarters are not counted as dwelling units.
Employment Center: An area of the City where various industries provide higher than average concentrations
of employment.
Equalizing storage(Water Utility�: The act of balancing the difference between the capacity of the sources of
supply and the maximum demand rate (generally considered the highest use hour of the hottest day of the
year). In water systems that service a large number of residences,the demand for water varies hourly and
supply facilities are sized to meet the average rate of the maximum day demand. The maximum hour demand
rate is typically about twice the average maximum day rate. If equalizing storage is not available to provide
water during peak hours,the supply facilities and major pipelines would have to be sized for the maximum hour
demands. However, during non-peak hours, much of the supply capacity would not be used. Instead,equalizing '
storage facilities are used to make up the difference between maximum hour and maximum day demand.
The stored water is released when demand exceeds the supply, and replenished when the supply exceeds
demand. Equalizing storage facilities enable supply facilities and pipelines to be smaller and,therefore, lower
costs for supply and pipeline facilities are obtained.
Feeder system(Cable Television Service): The line that carries the signal from a trunk line amplifier to the
subscriber's service drop.
Fiber optic cable: A multi-layered cable composed of fine strands of glass fibers capable of transmitting large
quantities of coded data by means of modulated light rather than electronic signals. It is preferred as a medium
for television signals as it can carry more signals with less dissipation.
Fireflow: The rate of flow of water required during firefighting.
Fire storage: Reservoir capacity required to meet fire flows.
Force main: A sanitary sewer main that utilizes artificial means(pressure)to transport waste. A force main
usually moves sewage from a lower elevation to or across a higher elevation. A lift station typically pumps
sewage from one basin through a force main to another basin.
Functional plans: City departments prepare planning documents that establish long-range goals and objectives
to guide their operations and capital development requests. These plans, referred to as functional plans,
typically represent the ideal goals for the department in providing urban services and facilities.
Gate station (Natural Gas Service): The point at which gas from Northwest Pipeline enters the Puget Sound
Energy system,where odorant is added for safety, pressure is reduced between 200 to 300 psi, and the gas is
metered.
Gateway: A point of entry that identifies a transition between different land uses, landscapes and jurisdictional
boundaries and enhances a feeling of anticipation and arrival for the approaching traveler.
Geologically hazardous: Areas that may be prone to one or more of the following conditions: erosion,flooding,
landslides, coal mine hazards, or seismic activity.
Gravity sewer: A sanitary sewer main installed with the intention of utilizing gravity or"downhill flow"to move
the waste. The maximum capacity for a gravity sewer is the volume of flow that can be carried in a sewer at a
depth to diameter ratio of 0.70.

Housing unit: Any dwelling unit, housekeeping unit,guest room, dormitory, or single-occupancy unit.
Impact fees: Fees imposed on developers to pay for the community's costs of providing services to a new
development. Such charges are an extension of efforts to make new development pay for their impact on the
community. Impact fees may also involve some effort to predict the total cost of the community for servicing
the new development and relate it to the revenues that will be produced by the development once it is
completed.
Impervious surface: A hard surface area that either prevents or retards the entry of water into the soil mantle
under natural conditions prior to development,and/or a hard surface that causes water to run off the surface in
greater quantities or at an increased rate of flow from the flow present under natural conditions prior to
development. Common examples include, but are not limited to, roof tops,walkways, patios, decks, driveways,
parking lots or storage areas, concrete or asphalt paving,gravel roads, packed or oiled earthen materials,
macadam,or other surfaces that similarly impede the natural infiltration of storm water.
Industrial: A type of land use characterized by production, manufacturing, distribution or fabrication activities.
Infill development: Development consisting of either construction on one or more lots in an area that is mostly
developed,or new construction between two existing structures.
Infill housing: Construction of new dwelling units on vacant or underutilized parcels in built-up areas. Because
utilities,transit, and other infrastructure are already in place,the costs and impacts of new units are generally
lower than for development on raw land.
Infiltration(Wastewater Utility): The entrance of ground water into the sanitary sewer system through cracks,
pores, breaks,and defective joints in the sewer piping network.
Inflow: Direct flow of storm water into sanitary sewer systems through hookups from storm water collection
facilities and illegal connections.

as colleges and universities, elementary and secondary schools, community centers and clubs, private clubs,
religious facilities, museums, and institutes for advanced study.
Intensive office: Mid-to high-rise office development including structured parking typically located in areas
with regional transportation access.
Intermediate pressure(ip)distribution main: Underground lines varying from 1.25 to 6 inches in diameter.
Pressure averages 35 psi.
Jobs/housing balance: The ratio between jobs and housing within a specified area. The jobs/housing balance
can influence housing costs and transportation demand.
Land use zoning: Traditionally, a technical or physical approach to the segregation of incompatible land uses,
such as residential and industrial use,through systems of land use and development controls. More recently,
the techniques have emphasized reinforcing position relationships between compatible land uses such as
residential and neighborhood commercial. The contemporary approach also emphasizes the close relationship
between transportation and land use to more effectively respond to accessibility, reduction of infrastructure
costs, urban design,air, noise, and water pollution, energy conservation, and conservation of resource lands.
Landfill: A disposal facility, or part of a facility,where solid waste is permanently placed in or on land and which
is not a land spreading disposal facility.
Large scale multi-family: A residential building,or group of buildings that contain more than four dwelling units

intersection,sidewalk, bikeway,transit route,ferry) meets its current or projected demand.
Linear parks: Parks that are long and narrow, and follow a natural or man-made corridor such as a road or
stream course.
Lift station: A sewage pumping facility that consists of a wet well for collecting wastewater, mechanical
equipment such as pumps,valves and piping, electrical and control equipment, and a force main.The maximum
capacity for a lift station is equal to the peak,wet weather flow that the largest pump within the lift station has
been designed to convey.

distribution or fabricating activities. Some office activities and supporting convenience retail activities may also
be included.
Looping main(Natural Gas Service): A main that connects to a supply line at both ends,thereby providing an
alternate route for natural gas to travel to an area needing additional supply.
Manufactured housing: A broad term including mobile homes, modular homes,and other"factory built"
housing. The main distinction between manufactured homes and site-built homes is that manufactured homes
are created in one or more parts away from the site, and then transported to it. "Red Seal" manufactured
homes are built to HUD standards,with the chassis included as a permanent part of the home, although the
axles must be removed when the home is installed. These homes, however, are built so that they may be placed
on a permanent foundation. "Gold Seal" modular homes are constructed in a factory in several pieces that may
be smaller or less complete than the pieces of a "Red Seal" manufactured home. Gold Seal homes are built to
the specifications of the Uniform Building Code, and are placed on a permanent foundation,similar to a "stick-
built" home. Unlike Red Seal homes,the chassis for transportation is not a permanent part of the home. Mobile
PAGE Vi
• � ' �
homes,as opposed to manufactured or modular homes, are typicaily located in established mobile home parks
and were built before HUD standards for manufactured housing went into effect June 15, 1976.
Master plan: A plan that shows how proposed development will comply with the development standards in the
applicable zoning. It also is intended to show compatibility of development within the Master Plan, and
compatibility of anticipated uses in areas adjacent to and abutting the Master Plan area. It provides long-term
guidance for a smaller area than a Conceptual Plan, but a larger area than a detailed Site Plan.
Metro: A countywide agency run by Metropolitan King County that provides regularly scheduled public transit
service (both express and local service), park and ride lots,vanpools, ride-sharing, and customized service to
meet people with special needs. Metro is also a regional sewage treatment agency charged with the collection,
treatment, and disposal of sewage from the City of Renton and much of King County.
Minimum density: A development standard that sets the least amount of density permitted in a residential
zone and results in a more efficient use of urban land than might otherwise be attained through market forces.
Mitigation (Surface Water Utility): Avoiding, minimizing or compensating for adverse wetland impacts.
Mitigation, in the following order of preference, is:
a. Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action;
b. Minimizing impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation, by
using appropriate technology, or by taking deliberate steps to avoid or reduce impacts;
t. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment;
d. Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations during
the life of the action;
e. Compensating for the impact by restoring or providing substitute resources or environments;
f. Monitoring the impact and the compensation project and taking appropriate corrective measures.
Mitigation for individual actions may include a combination of the above measures.

Net density: A calculation of the number of housing units that would be allowed on a property after sensitive
areas, public streets, and private access easements are subtracted from the gross area (gross acres minus
• ' • • • ' ` PAGE Vli
� � � �
streets, easements, and sensitive areas multiplied by allowable housing units per acre). This calculation applies
to residential uses only.
Northwest Pipeline: Interstate pipeline providing gas to Puget Sound Energy. Pressure varies from 600 to 900
psi in two parallel pipes, 26 and 30 inches in diameter.
Off-site release rates(Surface Water Utility): As a result of development,the peak release rate of water from
the developed property during the design storm.
On-street parking: Parking spaces in the rights-of-way.
Open space: Any area of land, or water that provides physical or visual relief from the developed environment.
Open space may be essentially unimproved and set aside, designated or reserved for public use or enjoyment,
or for the private use and enjoyment of adjacent property owners. Open space may also consist of undeveloped
or developed areas including urban plazas, parks, pedestrian corridors, landscaping, pastures,woodlands,
greenbelts, wetlands, and other natural areas or street rights-of-way which provide visual relief within
developed areas. The term does not include driveway, parking lots, or other surfaces designed for vehicular
travel.

Springbrook Creek to the Black River Pump Station.
Peak flow(wastewater utility): The maximum amount of sewage,either actual or estimated,that must be
transported through the system in a given time (usually in gallons per minute). Peak flow is usually measured or
calculated during the wettest time of the year when rain and high ground water add inflow and infiltration to
the normal flow of the system at the time of day when domestic use is the greatest.
Peak hour: One-hour interval within the peak period when travel demand is usually highest (e.g., 7:30-8:30 a.m.
and 4:30-5:30 p.m.).

improvements to the transportation system related infrastructure and the means and methods of financing
those improvements.
Transportation Systems Management(TSM): Accommodating transportation demand by using the existing
supply more efficiently and by emphasizing lower cost improvements that can be implemented quickly. For
example, converting a general purpose traffic lane into a transit-way might increase the person-carrying capacity
of a highway more easily and quickly than widening the highway for additional traffic lanes.
Trunk system (Cable Television Service): The cables that carry signals from the headend to the feeder lines.
Since the signal loses strength as it travels down the cable, a series or cascade of amplifiers, located at intervals
along its length, boost signal strength.

Urban Center: Defined by the Countywide Planning Policies, recognized by the Puget Sound Regional Council,
and so designated by City Council Resolution,the Urban Center is an area of Renton with existing and/or future
high employment concentration, residential use at high density, and accessibility. These areas promote non-
SOV mobility, reduce sprawl, and maximize benefits of existing public investment.
Urban growth area: Area designated by the City and endorsed by the County for development over the next
twenty years as required by the Growth Management Act. Urban growth patterns should not occur outside
these areas.
Urban separator: Corridors of natural areas orvery low density rural development between higher density

high-density residential and employment centers throughout the region by high capacity transit and promoting
a multi-modal transportation system.
Wastewater: The spent or used water of a community or industry that contains dissolved and suspended
contaminants that cannot be discharged directly to a lake, stream, or river.
Wetlands: Areas characterized by the presence of surface or groundwater at a frequency or duration to support
vegetation adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. For the purposes of inventory, incentives, and non-
regulatory programs,those lands transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems where the water table is
usually at or near the surface or the land is covered by shallow water. For the purposes of regulation, wetlands
are defined by the Federal Manual for the Regulation and Delineation of Jurisdictional Wetlands pursuant to this
Chapter, Section 4-32-3.C. Wetlands created or restored as part of a mitigation project are regulated wetlands.
Wetlands intentionally created for purposes other than wetland mitigation, including but not limited to,
stormwater management, wastewater treatment or landscape amenities, drainage ditches are not considered
regulated wetlands.

APPENDIX B:
PUBLIC ACCESS OBJECTIVES BY REACH
The following table outlines the policy objectives for maintaining and improving public access within the shoreline. Application of public access objectives
should be considered along with other objectives of the Shoreline Management Act,such as ecological restoration and priority uses.
. � . . � :
LAKE WASHINGTON
From Bellevue city This developed primarily single-family area currently provides no public access. The potential for provision of
limits to Renton public access from new development is low because further subdivision and non-single family use is not
city limits likely but should be pursued if such development occurs. Public agency actions to improve public access
Lake Washington should include visual access from public trail development along the railroad right of way inland of the
Reach A residential lots; however,views may be limited by topography and vegetation.Access to the water should be
pursued at an existing undeveloped railroad right of way, including parcels used for utilities and potential
acquisition of parcels, with emphasis on parcels that are not currently developed because they do not
currently have roadway access.
From the city limits to This is primarily a single-family area with one multi-family development immediately south of the Seahawks
the Seahawks training Training Center. There is currently no public access. There is a public trail along I-405, but it does not have
Lake Washington facility views of the water.The potential for provision of public access from new development is low because further
Reach B subdivision and non-single family use is not likely, but should be pursued if such development occurs. Public
agency actions to improve public access should include visual access from trail development along the
railroad right of way inland of the residential lots (however, views may be limited by topography and
vegetation)and potential acquisition of opportunities for public access to the water.
From the Seattle This reach includes the recently constructed Seattle Seahawks headquarters and training facility to the north
Seahawks and the Barbee Mill site to the south.The Quendall Terminals parcel between the Seahawks and Barbee Mill
headquarters and sites is a Superfund site contaminated with coal tar and creosote. There is public access along a portion of
training facility the shoreline at the Seahawks site and adjacent to May Creek at the Barbee Mill site. Public harbor lands are
Lake Washington through the former along about a third of the subdivision water frontage. The potential for provision of public access from new
Reach C Barbee Mill site. development will occur after cleanup of the Superfund site with multi-use development that should offer
shoreline access across the entire property, consistent with vegetation conservation. Provision of public
access from future redevelopment of the Seahawks and Barbee Mill site is possible under the existing zoning,
which allows higher intensity use and provides an opportunity for continuous public access parallel to the
shoreline. Public access should be provided to shared or commercial docks. Public agency actions to improve
public access should include visual access from a future trail along the railroad (views may be limited to the
�
� . � •
•� • • ' � • :
northerly and southerly portion of the reach because of distance to the water and potential blockage by
intervening buildings); enhancement of the May Creek trail to public streets; access on public aquatic lands;
and potential acquisition of public access to the water.
From May Creek to This reach is a single-family area with no public access except Kennydale Beach Park. The potential for
Mountain View provision of public access from new development is low because further subdivision and non-single family
Avenue use is not likely but should be pursued if such development occurs. Public agency actions to improve public
Lake Washington access should include visual access from public trail development along the railroad right of way; pedestrian
Reach D and bicycle access on Lake Washington Boulevard; public viewing areas and possible public acquisition of
access to the water including an existing undeveloped railroad right of way adjacent to the water; and
potential public right of way and potential public acquisition of selected parcels, including undeveloped
parcels with development constraints.
From Mountain View This reach is a single-family area with no existing public access. The potential for provision of public access
Avenue to Gene from new development is low because further subdivision and non-single family use is not likely but should
Lake Washington Coulon Park be pursued if such development occurs. Public agency actions to improve public access should include visual
Reach E access from public trail development along the railroad right of way; pedestrian and bicycle access on Lake
Washington Boulevard; public viewing areas and possible public acquisition of access to the water including
an existing undeveloped railroad right of way adjacent to the water; possible public street ends; and
potential public acquisition of selected parcels.
The less developed Public access is currently provided by a trail system through the park and a variety of primarily passive
northerly portion of recreational facilities,a fishing pier, and a moorage dock. Public access is one element of park functions that
Lake Washington Gene Coulon Park should be continued and incorporated in future plans and balanced with goals for providing recreation and
Reach F improving ecologic functions. Other public agency actions to improve public access should include visual
acces� from public trail development along the railroad right of way, and pedestrian and bicycle access on
Lake Washington Boulevard including addition of public viewing areas.
The more developed Public access is currently provided by a trail system through the park together with a variety of passive and
Lake Washington southerly portion of active recreational facilities, a boat launch, over-water facilities, and concession facilities. Public access is
Reach G Gene Coulon Park one element of park functions that should be continued and incorporated in future plans, as well as
balanced with goals for providing recreation and improving ecologic functions.
Lake Washington Southport multiple use Public access is currently provided along the waterfront and should continue in the future as part of multi-
Reach H development use development of the remainder of the property. The design should include supporting water-oriented
uses and amenities such as seating and landscaping.
Lake Washington Boeing Plant and to This reach is about one-third state-owned aquatic lands designated as Harbor Area and managed by the
Reach 1 the Cedar River Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and two-thirds is the Boeing Company's site.
Landward of the inner harbor line, ownership is entirely the Renton Boeing Plant. Public access in this area
_I■ ,: 1

• • • � •
includes the Cedar River Boathouse located on pilings in Lake Washington and accessed from the west from
the Cedar River Trail. The boathouse includes a public fishing area and provides canoe and kayak rentals,
classes, and guided trips. Public access is currently not feasible on the three acres of state owned aquatic
lands managed by DNR. In the future, if the Boeing site is redeveloped public access should be provided,
balanced with goals for ecological restoration. Public agency actions to improve public access should
include a waterfront trail, which would connect the public access at the Southport development to the
Cedar River Trail. This action should be implemented when environmental and security issues can be
resolved,as well as public access to public lands,balanced with the goals of preserving ecological functions.
Renton Municipal Public access to the Lake Waterfront is provided from the lawn area of the Will Rogers, Wiley Post
Airport Memorial Sea Plane Base and should be maintained if the goal of public access is not in conflict with the
Lake Washington aeronautical use of the property. Public agency actions to improve public access should include enhancing
Reach J opportunities for the public to approach the water's edge from the existing lawn area. Public access may
necessarily be limited by safety and security limitation inherent in the primary use of the property for
aeronautical purposes.
From the Renton This reach is predominantly single-family area with no existing public access. Public visual access is provided
Municipal Airport to from Rainier Avenue.The potential for provision of public access from new development is likely limited to
Lake Washington the Seattle city limits future redevelopment of a small mobile home park in the easterly portion of this reach and from
Reach K redevelopment of existing multi-family uses. Public agency actions to improve public access should include
enhanced public views from Rainier Avenue as well as enhanced pedestrian facilities or view points. This
effort may include acquisition of several undeveloped parcels to provide access to the water's edge,
consistent with goals for preservation and enhancement of ecological functions.

From the mouth of the This reach is bounded by open space dedicated as part of a subdivision and includes public access provided
creek to Lake by a trail along the creek. Public agency actions to improve public access should include enhanced public
May Creek A Washington Boulevard views from Lake Washington Boulevard including enhanced pedestrian facilities or view points, improved
connections of the May Creek trail to public streets, and to the potential trail to the east across or under
the railroad right of way and Lake Washington Boulevard.
From Lake There is currently no public access in this reach. At the time of re-development, public access should be
May Creek B Washington Boulevard provided from a trail parallel to the water along the entire property with controlled public access to the
to 1-405 water,balanced with goals of preservation and enhancement of ecological functions. Public agency actions
to improve public access should include provisions to cross I-405 to connect with trail systems to the east.
May Creek C From I-405 to NE 36th This reach includes discontinuous public ownership with some private ownership. At the time of
Street development of private lands, public access should be provided from a trail parallel to the water together

with public agency actions to develop a trail on public land. All trail development should be set back from
the water's edge with controlled public access to the water, balanced with goals of preservation and
enhancement of ecological functions.
From NE 36th Street to This reach is largely King County May Creek Park. Public access is informal and discontinuous. There are
the ciry limits some private holdings along the creek.At the time of development of private lands, public access should be
May Creek D provided from a trail parallel to the water coordinated with public agency actions to develop a trail on
public land. All trail development should be set back from the water's edge with controlled public access to

CEDAR RIVER
Mouth to Logan A public trail is provided on the east side of the river in the Cedar River Park. No public access is provided
Cedar River A Avenue on the west side of the river adjacent to the municipal airport. Public physical access from a trail parallel to
the water should be provided if the Renton Municipal Airport redevelops in the future, balanced with goals
of ecological restoration.
Logan Avenue to I-405 A public trail is provided on the north side of the river and a variety of public access is provided on the ,
bridges south side, including small city parks. Public access should generally be provided within the corridor of
public lands adjacent to the river; however, adjacent private parcels not separated by public streets should
Cedar River B provide active open space and other facilities to provide gathering places to enjoy the shoreline '
environment,together with water-oriented uses. Revisions to the existing trail to relocate further from the
water's edge to allow revegetation should be considered in the future as part of public park and river
maintenance plans.
I-405 to the SR 169 A public trail is provided on the former Milwaukee railroad. Public access is provided at a public park on the
north side immediately east of I-405. Public and/or community access along the waterfront should be
provided as private lands on the north side of the river redevelop, considered along with the goal of
restoration of ecological functions. The single-family residential area on the north side of the river provides
Cedar River C no public access. The potential for provision of public access from new development is low because further
subdivision and non-single family use is not likely but should be pursued if such development occurs. Public
agency actions to improve public access should include additional interpretive trails and trail linkages ,
through public lands on the south side of the river, if consistent with ecological functions and public �I
acquisition of access to the water in existing single-family areas,where appropriate. �
SR 169 to UGA A public trail is provided on the former Milwaukee railroad. It is generally at a distance from the water's ',
boundary edge. Most of this reach is under public ownership or dedicated open space. The primary goal for !
Cedar River D management of this reach should be ecological enhancement. Additional public access to the water's edge �
may be provided if consistent with ecological functions. The small residential area at the east end of the '
UGA provides no public access. The potential for provision of public access from new development is low I

from the existing trail and possible public acquisition of access to the water.
The Green/Black River The area west of Monster Road provides no public access. Public physical access from a trail parallel to the
below the pump water should be provided as private lands redevelop. Public agency actions to improve public access should
Green River station include acquisition of trail rights to connect the Lake to Sound trail system to the Green River Trail and Fort
Reach A Dent Park.
The area west of Monster Road is part of the publicly owned Black River Forest where interpretive trails
exist. Expansion of public access should occur only if consistent with ecological functions.
BLACK RIVER/SPRINGBROOK CREEK
From the City Limits to The area west of Monster Road provides no public access. Public physical access from a trail parallel to the
Grady Way water should be provided as private lands redevelop. Public agency actions to improve public access should
include acquisition of trail rights to connect the trail system to the Green River Trail and Fort Dent Park.
Black/Springbrook A The area west of Monster Road is part of the publicly owned Black River Forest where interpretive trails
exist. Expansion of public access should occur only if consistent with ecological functions. Interpretive trails
are present in the Black River Forest. Expansion of public access should occur only if consistent with
ecological functions. A trail system is present on the west side of the stream adjacent to the sewage
treatment plant and should be retained and possibly enhanced.
Springbrook B From Grady Way to A trail system is present on WSDOT right of way and crosses under I-405. Enhancement should be
SW 16th Street implemented as part of future highway improvements or other public agency actions.
From SW 16th Street A public trail parallel to the stream was developed as part of the Boeing Longacres Office Park and extends
to the City Limits from SW 16th Street under Oaksdale.Avenue and terminates at the alignment of 19th Street at the parking
lot of a pre-existing industrial building. If future development occurs in this area, a continuous trail system
connecting to the continuous system to the south should be planned, consistent with protection of
' ecological values of wetlands and streamside vegetation.
Springbrook C There is no trail system along the stream from SW 19th Street to the approximate alignment of SE 23rd
Street. A continuous trail system is provided from 23rd Street to the city limits including portions through
the Springbrook Wetland Mitigation Bank. If future development occurs in the area of the missing trail link,
a trail system connecting to the continuous system to the south should be planned, consistent with
protection of ecological values of wetlands and streamside vegetation buffers. Public actions should
include interim linkages of the existing trail systems, which may include interim trails or routing on public
streets and sidewalks. In the future, if vegetation buffers are developed within the stream corridor and

adjacent lands, relocation of the trail farther from the stream should be considered with controlled access
to the water's edge.
Entire Lake Public access is provided by a WDFW boat launch.There is currently no formal public access to the water at
the natural area at the south end of the lake, nor the County-designated natural area at the north end of
the lake. Interpretive access should be implemented in a manner consistent with ecological values.
Lake Desire Existing single-family residential development provides no public access. The potential for provision of
public access from new development is low because further subdivision and non-single family use is not
likely but should be pursued if such development occurs. Public agency actions to improve public access
should include public acquisition of access to the water where appropriate.Access for interpretive purposes
may be an element of public acquisition of wetlands.

TECHNICAL APPENDIX C: I
LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS AND UTILITY PLANS
INTRODUCTION
The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that cities and counties develop land use plans that accommodate
20 years of growth. The land use pattern and growth is to be supported by utilities and capital facilities. The
purpose of this technical appendix is to establish and compare the growth assumptions in the City's
Comprehensive Plan and Countywide Planning Policies with the assumptions in the City's "Water System Plan
Update: A Comprehensive Water System Plan, 2012" and the "Long-Range Wastewater Management Plan, A
Comprehensive Sewer System Plan, Final 2010." Results show the system plans can support the land use plan and
growth assumptions for the horizon year of 2031 matching the growth allocations in the Countywide Planning
Policies.
GROWTH TARGETS AND CAPACITY
The City of Renton and its Potential Annexation Area have been allocated housing and employment growth targets
in the King County Countywide Planning Policies. The City's Comprehensive Plan needs to reflect the growth
targets and provide land use capacity sufficient to meet the targets for lands in the city limits; King County must do
likewise for the Potential Annexation Area. Currently, the growth targets extend to the year 2031.1 At the time of �
the 2007 Buildable Lands Report,the City had sufficient capacity to meet its growth targets. See Table L �
Table 1.Growth Targets 2006-2013 and Buildable Land Capacity 2007
Location Net New Units Net New Jobs
City Growth Target 2006-2031 14,835 29,000
City Capacity 2007(inc Benson Hill) 16,250 29,550
Excess Capacity-City 2007 1,415 550
PAA Target 3,895 470
Source:King County Buildable Lands Report 2007,Pers Com,Felt,June 27,2013,"Buildable Lands:instructions for measuring
updated capacity." BERK 2013
Based on the 2007 euildable Lands results the City has sufficient capacity for planned growth under both housing
and employment.
After the publication of the 2007 Buildable Lands Report,the City has studied future growth capacity in the Sunset ,
Area Planned Action, and found additional capacity was likely, up to 850 more housing units than the prior '
assumed growth under the Comprehensive Plan and up to 2,278 more jobs than the prior assumed growth under
the Comprehensive Plan (Preferred Alternative assumptions; Final EIS, April 2011). This would further bolster the
City's land capacity.
1 While the growth targets extend to the year 2031, the new 20-year planning horizon for local governments with a Comprehensive Plan
Update deadline of June 30,2015,such as Renton,is actually 2035.However,King County has no plans to formally update growth targets to the I
year 2035. Given the GMA requirement to plan for 20 years (RCW 36.70A.115), King County and an inter-jurisdictional team of planning '
directors recommends that local governments start with the 2031 growth target and use either a straight-line projection or otherwise"bend
the trend"towards Vision 2040 in order to derive a 20 year growth number.The City is considering the extension of the growth target to the
year 2035,but has not yet made a determination of the numbers.
PAGE XXV
S � ' • i � • � �
The City's Transportation Model growth assumptions represent the allocation of growth to sub geographies across
the City (transportation analysis zones across the city limits). The City's traffic model shows the City's anticipated
growth of 15,787 housing units and 31,440 jobs between 2006 and 2030; both estimates are greater than the
assigned growth targets. For the purposes of this analysis, the traffic model analysis zone growth estimates are
compared to the water service area and sewer service area (city limits portion).
WATER SYSTEM PLAN
Household growth is projected in the Renton Water System Plan for the years 2010 to 2071 for the water system
service area which is smaller than the city limits. The plan considered growth based on Puget Sound Regional
Council growth projections (similar to those in the Countywide Planning Policies and the City traffic model) and a
"growth cap" that considered infill capacity plus redevelopment in the Renton Urban Center and Renton Sunset
Area Planned Action Area. Based on the analysis the net growth from 2010-2031 is less than City growth targets,
but the growth from 2010-2071 is consistent with those targets. The analysis shows the Water System Plan can
accommodate the growth targets, but the growth cap approach allows the City to see what the improvements
would be if growth occurred in a more phased manner.See Table 2.

WASTEWATER SYSTEM PLAN
Population and job growth is projected in the Renton Wastewater System Plan for the years 2001 and 2030. The
wastewater service area extends further east than the city limits but not fully to the southeast, where other
districts are the service providers. Nevertheless, comparisons of growth assumptions show more than sufficient
planned growth in the Wastewater System Plan beyond the city's growth targets. See Table 3.

density residential zone that endeavors to provide some residential use of lands
characterized by extensive critical areas or lands with agricultural uses. It is
intended to implement the Low Density Residential Comprehensive Plan
designation.This zone promotes uses that are compatible with the functions and
values of designated critical areas and allows for continued production of food
and agricultural products. No minimum density is required.
The Resource Conservation Zone is also intended to provide separation
between areas of more intense urban uses and critical lands or a�ricultural uses;
encourage or preserve very low-density residential uses; reduce the intensity of
uses in accordance with the extent of environmentally sensitive areas such as
6
ORDINANCE N0.
floodplains, wetiands and streams, aquifers, wildlife habitat, steep slopes, and
other geologically hazardous areas; allow for small-scale farming to commence
or continue; and provide viable uses within urban separators.

will not compromise critical areas. It is intended to implement the Low Density
Residential Comprehensive Plan designation. The zone provides for suburban
estate single family and clustered single family residential dwellings, at a
maximum density of one�dwelling unit per net acre, and allows for small scale
farming associated with residential use. Density bonus provisions, of up to
eighteen (18) dwelling units per acre, are intended to allow assisted living to
develop with higher densities within the zone. It is further intended to protect
critical areas, provide separation between neighboring jurisdictions through
designation of urban separators as adopted by the Countywide Policies, and
prohibit the development of incompatible uses that may be detrimental to the
residential or natural environment. .
D. RESIDENTIAL-4 DLL�ACRi�-(R-4):

density of four (4) dwelling units per net acre. The R-4 designation senres as a
transition between rural designation zones and higher density residential zones.
It is intended as an intermediate lower density residential zone. larger lot
subdivisions are preferred� however, "�-clusters develoament" afeis
allowed on sites where open space amenities are created. Resulting
development is intended to be superior in design and siting than that which

ORDINANCE N0.
in the R-8 Zone is intended to create opportunities for new single family
residential neighborhoods and to facilitate high-quality infill development that
promotes reinvestment in existing single family neighborhoods. It is intended to
accommodate uses that are compatible with and support a high-quality
residential environment and add to a sense of community.
G. RESIDENTIAL MANUFACTURED HOME PARK�(RMH):
The Residential Manufactured Home Park Zone (RMH) is established to I
promote development that is single family in character and developed to offer a '
choice in land tenancy. Standards provide for safe and high-quality ',
manufactured home neighborhoods. It is intended to implement the Residential
Low Density, ��^^'� �^^^�'., ^^�' ""�a���^^ ^^^�:}., ' ,^�' "�^ Comprehensive Plan
designation. The RMH Zone is intended to protect established manufactured
home parks and to expand the variety of affordable housing types available
within the City.
H. RESIDENTIAL-10�A�R€(R-10):
The Residential-10 ^..,�"��R "^�+� °^� "'^* ^��^ Zone (R-10) is established for
�hi�h-density residential development that will provide a mix of
residential styles including small lot detached dwellings or attached dwellings
such as townhouses and small-scale flats. Development promoted in the zone is
intended to increase opportunities for detached dwellings as a percent of the
housing stock, as well as allow some small-scale attached housing choices and to
create high-quality infill development that increases density while maintaining
9
ORDINANCE NO.
the single family character of the existing neighborhood. Allowable base
densities range from €e�-E4}five 5 to ten (10) dwelling units per net acre. The
zone serves as a transition to higher density multi-family zones.
I. RESIDENTIAL-14 91�A6R�(R-14):
The purpose of the Residential-14 n���^"�^^ "^'*� �^� "�^+ ^^-^ Zone (R-14) is
to encourage development, and redevelopment, of residential neighborhoods
that provide a mix of detached and attached dwelling structures organized and
designed to combine characteristics of both typical single family and small-scale
multi-family developments. Densities range from #�{�A}seven 7 to fourteen
(14) units per net acre with opportunities for bonuses up to eighteen (18)
dwelling units per net acre. Structure size is intended to be limited in terms of
bulk and scale so that the various unit types allowed in the zone are compatible
with one another and can be integrated together into a quality neighborhood.
Project features are encouraged, such as yards for private use, common open
spaces, and landscaped areas that enhance a neighborhood and foster a sense of
community. Civic and limited commercial uses may be allowed when they
support the purpose of the designation.

P.COMMERCIAL�OFFICE�RESIDENTIAL ZONE (COR):
The purpose of the Commercial�Office�Residential Zone (COR) is to provide
for a mix of intensive office, hotel, convention center, and residential activity in a
high-quality, master-planned development that is integrated with the natural
environment. Commercial retail and service uses that are architecturally and
11
- .
�
ORDINANCE N0.
functionally integrated are permitted. Also, commercial uses that provide high
economic value may be allowed if designed with the scale and intensity
envisioned for the COR Zone. The scale and location of these sites will typically
denote a gateway into the City and should be designed accordingly.
R. MEDIUM INDUSTRIAL ZONE(IM):
The purpose of the Medium Industrial Zone (IM) is to provide areas for
medium-intensity industrial activities involving manufacturing, processing,
assembly�and warehousing. Uses in this zone may require some outdoor storage
and may create some external ernissions of noise, odor, glare, vibration, etc., but
these are largely contained on-site. Compatible uses that directly serve the
needs of other uses permitted within the district are also allowed zone-wide.
Additionally, within the Employment Area "''�esignation, an even wider
variety of commercial and service uses may be permitted.
T. URBAN CENTER UC :
' ������The Urban Center�k� Zone� UC afeis established to
provide an area for pedestrian-scale urban mixed-use development that
supports the residential and employment goals of Renton's Urban Center�
�s�#. The UC "!? �^a !+�A�� Zones-a�e is intended to attract a wide range of
office, technology, commercial, and residential uses. The overall mix and
intensity of uses within both zones will develop over time. Consequently,
decisions made in early phases of redevelopment will need to take into
consideration the potential for further infill and intensification of uses. The
12
ORDINANCE N0.
overall mix and intensity of uses is intended to create an urban rather than
suburban character. The form of development is expected to use urban
development standards and therefore, setbacks, heights, landscaping, parking,
and design standards are to be urban in scale and configured in a layout utilizing
the street system to create a human-scale, pedestrian-oriented new center. Uses
that support urban center development are allowed. Development is expected
to include amenities such as gateways, water access, and open space. High-
quality development is anticipated, encompassing a mix of residential
neighborhoods, shopping, and employment districts and public facilities. The
designation is also intended to allow continuation of airplane manufacturing and
accessory airplane manufacturing uses, as land area formerly occupied by those
uses is transformed to combinations of retail, service, office, residential, and
civic uses.

Code, is hereby repealed.
SECTION XI. Subsection 4-2-115.A, Purpose, of Chapter 2, Zoning Districts — Uses and
Standards, of Title IV (Development Regulations) of the Renton Municipal Code, is hereby
amended as follows:
A. PURPOSE:
45
ORDINANCE N0.
1.These Residential Design and Open Space Standards are conceived to
implement policies established in the Land Use Elements
of the ftea�s�Comprehensive Plan, enhance quality of life by encouraging new
residential development to produce beautiful neighborhoods of �el�—well-
designed homes, and to mitigate t�—adverse impacts of density for the
neighborhood and the surrounding community. These standards are divided into
three areas:
a. Site Design: Quality neighborhoods are characterized by well
landscaped, safe, pedestrian oriented streets fronted by a variety of housing
types. These qualities are enhanced by Iots in a variety of sizes and widths and by
homes which vary in scale and massing, each with a prominent entry and
generous fenestration facing the street. Garages, while a necessity to today's
lifestyles, should not visually dominate the streetscape.
b.Open Space: In order to provide residents with a livable
community, private and public open space shall be provided. Public open spaces
shall be located so that a hierarchy and/or variety of open spaces throughout the
neighborhood is created.
c. Residential Design: Key characteristics of attractive neighborhoods
include variety of housing architectural styles, enhanced by attention to
selection of exterior materials, colors, and architectural detailing.
2.This Section lists elements that are required to be included in all
residential development in the zones stated in subsection B of this Section. Each
46
ORDINANCE NO.
element includes both standards�m and guidelines. Standards are �
e�e�e-provided for predictability, �+,^a,�a� ,•� ^�^..�^'^a, These standards
specify a prescriptive manner in which the requirement can be met.��
' , _uidelines ^�^ ,'�^ �*�*�a for each element are provided for
flexibilitv. These guidelines provide direction for those who seek to meet the
required element in a manner that is different from the standards.
a.The determination as to the satisfaction of the requirement
through the use of the guidelines is to be made by the Community and Economic
Development Administrator when no other permit or approval requires Hearing
Examiner review.
b.When it has been determined that the proposed manner of
meeting the design requirement through guidelines is sufficient, the applicant
shall have satisfied that design requirement.
SECTION XII. Subsection 4-2-115.6.1, of Chapter 2, Zoning Districts - Uses and
Standards, of Title IV (Development Regulations) of the Renton Municipal Code, is hereby
amended as follows:

SPECIAL PRESENTATION
a) CARCO Theatre-Executive Director Jeff McCord and Theatre Manager Cassie Welliver delivered
a brief presentation on the CARCO Theatre's history,staffing, and support from Puget Sound
Access.They also provided details about the recent revitalization and updated Council on new
events happening at the Theatre.
b) Fireworks Ban Emphasis and Enforcement-Chief Peterson announced that the City has been
working hard on planning the best way to handle fireworks within the City this year. He
introduced Fire Marshall Angela St.John who explained what the Community Risk Reduction
team is doing to ensure safety at the Independence Day Celebration on July 4, 2015, and what is
being done to enforce the fireworks ban.
Ms.St.John discussed safety improvements to the professional fireworks display show
happening on the evening of the 4th at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park at 10 p.m.She
specified that set up for the event will begin at 8 a.m.and take down will happen directly after
the show, allowing the waterways to re-open first thing Sunday morning.She added that two
inspectors are assigned to monitor the park that evening to focus on ensuring the display is safe
for the public attending the show.
With the weather predicted to be mid to high 90s over the next two weeks, the Fire &
Emergency Services department is focusing their efforts on attempting to change behaviors and
hopefully reduce fire risk within the City.To guarantee the public is aware fireworks are banned
and prohibited within the City limits,the following measures have been implemented:
• Media releases were sent out to local media sources and neighborhood groups.
• Messaging is posted on electronic boards at fire stations.
• Portable message boards notifying public of the ban are being coordinated by the
Transportation Division.
• Posters and Pamphlets have been distributed throughout the City.
• There will be attempts to have maps indicating where fireworks are banned to be distributed
at nearby fireworks stands in unincorporated king county.
• Phone,text, and email messaging will be sent out through the Code Red system on
Thursday, 6/25/2015, reaching about 32,000 residents.
To ensure enforcement be as productive and efficient as possible,there will be three teams
staffed by one fire inspector and one fire fighter placed in the areas with the greatest volume of
calls over the last two years.Additionally,the Police Department and the Prosecutor will be
training Fire & Emergency Services staff how to write infractions so they can provide them on
site.There will also be one firefighter who will be responsible for the picking up and confiscating
of any consumer fireworks. Criminal explosives will continue to be handled by the police because
they are criminal in nature.

PUBLIC HEARING
a) Moratorium on residential development within the CA(Commercial Arterial)and RMF
(Residential Multi-Family)Zones-This being the date set and proper notices having been
posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor law opened the public
hearing at 7:30 p.m.to consider the Moratorium on residential development within the CA
(Commercial Arterial) and RMF(Residential Multi-Family)Zones.
Senior Planner Angie Mathias reported that Council established a moratorium on the acceptance
of applications for residential development in the CA(Commercial Arterial)and RMF (Residential
Multi-family) zones on November 3, 2014,with the City Center Community Planning Area being
exempt from this moratorium.She clarified that this public hearing is being provided due to the
extension of the moratorium that Council approved at their meeting on April 27, 2015.
Ms. Mathias went on to describe where the RMF and CA zones are currently located throughout
the City. She explained that high density residential development requires extensive planning
and significant investment in infrastructure and services, especially transportation.She displayed
a map of the City's regional growth center and reported that the City has made significant
infrastructure investments in this area as well as two other areas,the Sunset Community Area
and the City Center Community Planning Area.
As part of the Comprehensive Plan Update,the Community& Economic Development(CED)
Department has evaluated the land use designations and zones and have made a number of
rezone recommendations. If the Comprehensive Plan update recommendations are to be
adopted,the issues previously identified within the RMF zone would be resolved,therefore
nullifying the need for a moratorium on new development in the RMF zone. However,given the
density of the CA zone and the challenges that remain regarding adequate public facilities and
services for high density growth,the moratorium on new development in the CA zones should
be retained except in the City Center area.After discussing next steps, Ms. Mathias let Council
know that the administration recommends advancement of a resolution at the next Council
Meeting to repeal the moratorium on new development in the RMF zone, but retaining one in
the CA zone. Council did not objection to the administration's recommendation.
There being no further public comment, it was,
