This issue may also arise with other structures in the Rainier Avenue corridor or in future acquisitions by the City. This problem is alleviated by the proposed amendment to RMC 4-10-050 so that any structure made nonconforming by the City acquiring an interest in the real propety by condemnation or otherwise, shall still be a conforming structure after the taking. The reason for this amendment is fundamental fairness to property owners who have conforming structures on their real property which are only rendered nonconforming due to the City acquiring an interest in the property. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the ordinance amending RMC 4-10-050, Legal Nonconforming Structures, Uses and Lots. 6b. ‐ City Attorney Department recommends amending RMC 4‐10‐ 050 regarding Legal Nonconforming Structures, Uses and Lots as related Page 4 of 162 1 CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON ORDINANCE NO. ________ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, AMENDING SECTION 4-10-050 OF CHAPTER 10, LEGAL NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES, USES AND LOTS, OF TITLE IV (DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS) OF ORDINANCE NO. 4260 ENTITLED “CODE OF GENERAL ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON”, BY ADDING AN EXEMPTION FOR NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES WHEN THE NONCONFORMITY IS CREATED BY THE CITY’S ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

Following construction and the determination of actual costs, staff presents the latecomer agreement for final approval by Council. Daljit Singh Gill and Hardip Singh Gill have installed the agreed upon improvements and transferred title of these improvements to the City. The final authorized cost is $93,861.32. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Grant a final 15-year latecomer agreement (LA-09-001) to Daljit Singh Gill and Hardip Singh Gill for a sanitary sewer main extension along NE 7th Pl between Field Ave NE and Hoquiam Ave NE and authorize staff to finalize the latecomer agreement per City Code. 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 7 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 8 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 9 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 10 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 11 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 12 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 13 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 14 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 15 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 16 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 17 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 18 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 19 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 20 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 21 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 22 of 162 6c. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department requests final approval of the 15‐year Singh Gill latecomer agreement requested by Page 23 of 162 CITY OF RENTON COUNCIL AGENDA BILL Subject/Title: Commencing formal renewal proceedings with Comcast under the Federal Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, as amended Meeting: Regular Council - 23 May 2011 Exhibits: Comcast Letter Resolution Submitting Data: Dept/Div/Board: Executive Staff Contact: Marty Wine, Asst. CAO (x6526) Recommended Action: Council Concur Fiscal Impact: Expenditure Required: $ Transfer Amendment: $ Amount Budgeted: $ Revenue Generated: $ Total Project Budget: $ City Share Total Project: $ SUMMARY OF ACTION: The City of Renton grants Comcast the right to operate and provide cable television services within the City through a franchise. Comcast’s franchise was last renewed in 2008 and will expire in September, 2014. Comcast recently invoked formal franchise renewal proceedings and notified Renton of its wish to preserve formal franchise renewal rights (a standard letter that Comcast sends to a city up to three years prior to the expiration of its franchise as provided for in federal regulations). Franchise renewal can occur through informal or formal negotiations. To respond to Comcast’s notification, notify the public, and commence formal renewal proceedings, the Administration requests commencement of formal renewal proceedings with Comcast by resolution. This signals the City's intent to review the franchise and the performance of the cable operator, and to identify the City’s future cable related needs and interests. City notification needs to occur some time during the 6 months following the notice from Comcast. In the prior renewal, Renton used the franchise renewal process to review cable operations within the City. This evaluation included a compliance review to ensure Comcast was meeting the terms of the franchise, including system construction and extension; a system technical review of Comcast’s physical plant within Renton to ensure code compliance; a review of the rate order forms over the prior term of the franchise to ensure alignment with published rates; a franchise fee review; a review of community cable-related needs by users; Public, Educational and Governmental access (PEG) interests and fees; and other reviews that would materially affect cable television services and costs. Through competitive RFP, Renton procured the assistance of Bradley & Guzzetta during the last franchise renewal for these reviews, and will now begin to assess the need for internal and external support for franchise renewal. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution to commence formal franchise renewal proceedings with Comcast. 6d. ‐ Executive Department recommends authorization to commence formal cable television franchise renewal proceedings with Comcast.

It is our credo that we will he the company to look to first for the communications products and services that connect people to what's important in their lives. In living our credo, we look forward to- providing broadband services to our customers in Renton for many years to come. Therefore, we are taking this step to ensure the renewal of our franchise with. you. The Cable Communications Policy Act of 3984 ("the 1984 Cable Act") encourages franchisors and cable operators to reach renewal agreements at any time through an informal process of discussion. However, Section 626 of the 1984 Cable Act also provides for commencement of a formal renewal procedure. To preserve our statutory rights to this formal procedure, this letter is our official notice to you invoking that provision. This letter is not intended to introduce a new formality into our discussions, nor is that the intention of the 1984 Cable Act. In fact, we prefer to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement through informal negotiations, thus making many of the 1984 Cable Act's formal procedures unnecessary. I will be happy to discuss this matter with you, or provide any additional information that you may require. I look forward to meeting with you in the near future and to continuing a relationship that, we believe, benefits both the community and the residents of Renton. Sincerely, Terry Davis Director, Franchising and Government Affairs tf- Clef's tfeneuW F;/*, (l-H-loU) 6d. ‐ Executive Department recommends authorization to commence formal cable television franchise renewal proceedings with Comcast.

For 2010, the City was granted $130,366 through the EMPG. To date we have received $35,010 of the grant funds. Due to federally mandated environmental and equipment reviews the deadline needs to be extended until July 31, 2011 to allow for approved purchases and reimbursement. There was insufficient time for the state to process the EMPG 2010 contract extension as an amendment, approved earlier this year, prior to the deadline. The state has reissued the grant under a new contract number for the remainder of the grant amount of $95,356. Wording, intent, new deadline and total grant amount remain the same.

SUBRECIPIENT MONITORING a. The Department, as a Recipient and/or Pass-Through Entity, receives federal financial assistance under federal programs and is charged with maintaining compliance with federal and state laws and regulations regarding the monitoring, documentation, and monitoring of subrecipient grant activities using federal financial assistance.

If the termination is for cause, the Department shall determine the extent of the liability of the Department. The Department shall have no other obligation to the Contractor for termination. The Department may withhold from any amounts due the Contractor such sum as the Department determines to be necessary to protect the Department against potential loss or liability. The rights and remedies of the Department provided in this contract shall not be exclusive and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law.

SECTION II. Procedures and Criteria for Evaluating and Determining Projects as Planned Actions. A. Planned Action Area. The Planned Action designation shall apply to the area shown in Attachment A. B. Environmental Document. A Planned Action determination for a site-specific implementing project application shall be based on the environmental analysis contained in the Draft EIS issued by the City on December 17, 2010, and the Final EIS published on April 1, 2011. The Draft and Final EISs shall comprise the Planned Action EIS. The mitigation measures contained in Attachment B are based upon the findings of the Planned Action EIS and shall, 8a. ‐ Sunset Area Planned Action (See 7.a.) Page 105 of 162 ORDINANCE NO. along with adopted City regulations, provide the framework that the City will use to impose appropriate conditions on qualifying Planned Action projects. C. Planned Action Designated. Land uses and activities described in the Planned Action EIS, subject to the thresholds described in subsection II.D and the mitigation measures contained in Attachment B, are designated Planned Actions or Planned Action Projects pursuant to RCW 43.21C.031. A development application for a site-specific Planned Action project located within the Sunset Area shall be designated a Planned Action if it meets the criteria set forth in subsection II.D of this ordinance and applicable laws, codes, development regulations and standards of the City. D. Planned Action Qualifications. The following thresholds shall be used to determine if a site-specific development proposed within the Sunset Area is contemplated by the Planned Action and has had its environmental impacts evaluated in the Planned Action EIS: (1) Land Use. (a) The following general categories/types of land uses are considered Planned Actions: Single family and multi-family residential; schools; parks; community and public facilities; office and conference; retail; entertainment and recreation; services; utilities; and mixed-use development incorporating more than one use category where permitted. (b) Individual land uses considered as Planned Actions shall include those uses specifically listed in RMC 4-2-060 as permitted or conditionally permitted in the zoning classifications applied to properties within the Planned Action area provided they are consistent with the general categories / types of land uses in (l)(a). 8a. ‐ Sunset Area Planned Action (See 7.a.)

(c) Shifting development amounts between categories of uses may be permitted so long as the total build-out does not exceed the aggregate amount of development and trip generation reviewed in the EIS, and so long as the impacts of that development have been identified in the Planned Action EIS and are mitigated consistent with Attachment B. (d) If future development proposals in the Planned Action area exceed the development thresholds specified in this ordinance, further environmental review may be required pursuant to WAC 197-11-172. Further, if proposed development would alter the assumptions and analysis in the Planned Action EIS, further environmental review may be required. 8a. ‐ Sunset Area Planned Action (See 7.a.)
