SUMMARY OF ACTION:
A recent appeal regarding a dangerous dog brought to light a possible conflict of interest created by our
current ordinance. A matter on an administrative appeal before the Municipal Court Judge could result
in a criminal charge against the dog owner, which would be before the Municipal Court Judge, or
someone under his direction. The Judge could be caught in a conflict, having decided the matter in the
administrative process and having to decide a criminal matter arising out of the same facts. Due to this
possible conflict of interest for the Judge, the ordinance needs to be changed to provide that the
hearing officer for the administrative matter will be the Hearing Examiner.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the ordinance amending RMC 6-6-9 regarding appeals for dangerous dogs.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) is the longest running, largest and most highly attended film festival in
the United States. Through a partnership with the Renton Community Marketing Campaign, SIFF has agreed to bring
films to Renton from May 20-26, 2011. All films will be screened at the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center. SIFF-
Renton will bring tremendous benefits to Renton’s restaurants, hotels and other businesses. It will also be a
galvanizing project for arts and culture in Renton and a positive and educational activity for the Renton community.
SIFF is a 501c3 tax exempt organization whose mission is to, “Create experiences that bring people together to
discover extraordinary films from around the world. It is through the art of cinema that we foster a community that is
more informed, aware, and alive.”
Per RMC 5-6-1, the City levies a 5% admission tax on every person who pays an admission charge to a commercial
theater regularly exhibiting motion picture films within the City. The admission tax is also levied on other events.
Currently, school activities are exempt from this tax per RCW 35.21.280. This legislation would extend this waiver to
the Seattle International Film Festival activities at the Renton IKEA Performing Arts Center from May 20-26, 2011.
The calculated loss of revenue of this waiver is estimated at less than $3,000, however, the SIFF events would
otherwise not be occuring in Renton. The lost revenue through this waiver is greatly exceeded by the financial
benefits of these events being held in Renton, and the related regional, national and international media attention
being placed on the Renton by being part of this festival.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize waiver of Admission Tax for Seattle International Film Festival activities in Renton May 20-26,
2011 and adopt the Resolution

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Since the adoption of the land use and zoning changes recommended by the Highlands Citizen's Task
Force in 2007, the City has been working on revitalization of the Sunset Area. This led to the creation of
the Highlands Phase II Task Force and then the Sunset Area Community Investment Strategy. One of the
recommendations of the Community Investment Strategy was to complete a Planned Action and
Environmental Impact Statement.
Under a Planned Action, environmental review (EIS) is completed on a proposal in advance of a specific
development application. Projects consistent with the types of development studied in the EIS will be
allowed to develop subject to measures identified in, and required by, a Planned Action Ordinance. In
addition to the Planned Action Ordinance, two other ordinances are necessary to support adoption of
the Planned Action. A Master Drainage Plan establishes special stormwater requirements for the Sunset
Area, consistent with Renton’s adopted stormwater rules, but specific to the conditions of the area. A
second ordinance adopts amendments to the Comprehensive Plan to include capital facilities
improvements necessary to implement the Planned Action. The Comprehensive Plan will include
amendments to the Capital Facilities, Transportation, and Utility elements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Sunset Area Planned Action, Surface Water Master Plan, and Comprehensive Plan
Amendments and adopt the ordinances

Members of the Renton City Council
VIA:Denis Law, Mayor
FROM:Alex Pietsch, Administrator
STAFF CONTACT:Erika Conkling, Senior Planner x 6578
SUBJECT:Sunset Area Planned Action
ISSUE:
Should the City adopt the Sunset Area Planned Action?
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt ordinances implementing the Sunset Area Planned Action, including the Planned
Action ordinance, an ordinance adopting the Master Drainage Plan, and an ordinance
amending the Comprehensive Plan to include capital facilities projects necessary to
implement the Planned Action.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
In May 2007, Council adopted land use and zoning changes for the Sunset Area
consistent with the work of the Highland Citizen’s Taskforce on Land Use and Zoning.
Building upon this work the Highlands Phase II Task Force recommended a series of
community and City actions to revitalize this neighborhood. After these
recommendations were adopted by Council in 2009, the City commissioned consultants
to develop the Sunset Area Community Investment Strategy to focus on how the City
could best leverage public investments. One of the recommendations of the Community
Investment Strategy was to complete a Planned Action and Environmental Impact
Statement.
Work began on the Sunset Area Planned Action and Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) in June 2010. Under a Planned Action, environmental review is completed on a
proposal in advance of a specific development application. The EIS studied three
potential development alternatives including taking no action, maximizing development
under the zoning rules put into place in 2007, and an intermediary level of development.
For the Final EIS a preferred alternative that anticipated development at levels less than
full build out, but integrated many environmentally beneficial features considered in the
maximum development scenario, was developed and studied. Projects consistent with
the preferred alternative will be allowed to develop under the Planned Action, subject to
7e. ‐ Community and Economic Development Department recommends

mitigation measures outlined in the EIS and required by the Planned Action Ordinance.
Two other ordinances are necessary to support adoption of the Planned Action
Ordinance. A Master Drainage Plan establishes special stormwater requirements for the
Sunset Area. These requirements are consistent with Renton’s adopted stormwater
rules and they specify the standards necessary for implementing the low impact
development stormwater controls included in the preferred alternative of the EIS and
the Planned Action. A second ordinance adopts amendments to the Comprehensive
Plan to include capital facilities improvements necessary to implement the Planned
Action. Current thinking and a decision by the Growth Management Hearings Board
indicate that any major infrastructure upgrade should be included in the capital facilities
element of the Comprehensive Plan, even if the costs of the upgrade will be borne by
developers. The Comprehensive Plan will include amendments to the Capital Facilities,
Transportation, and Utility elements. State law allows this type of Comprehensive Plan
update associated with adoption of a Planned Action.
CONCLUSION:
Adoption of the Sunset Area Planned Action and supporting ordinances amending the
Comprehensive Plan and adopting a Master Drainage Plan will implement one of the
recommendations of the Sunset Community Investment Strategy.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Authorization is requested to provide an interfund loan for Fund 317, SW 27th St./Strander Blvd.
Connection Project. In order to complete the project including construction of a two-lane road
into the Tukwila Commuter Rail Station, Fund 317 needs a temporary cash loan. The interest
bearing loan will be paid back from Fund 317 on a cost recovery basis with annual payments
over a 5-year period.

SUBJECT:Interfund Loan for Fund 317, SW 27th Street/ Strander
Boulevard Connection Project
ISSUE:
Should Council adopt a resolution authorizing an interfund loan to Fund 317, SW 27th
St./Strander Blvd. Connection Project?
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the proposed resolution that authorizes an interfund loan to Fund 317 not to
exceed the amount of $700,000 for up to 5 years.
BACKGROUND:
The SW 27th St./Strander Blvd. Connection Project when complete will create a new
east/west arterial corridor that will eliminate 40% of traffic congestion on
SW 43rdSt./South 180th St., accommodate 55,000 daily traffic trips, provide a critical new
freight and commuter corridor, and provide direct access to the Tukwila Sounder
Commuter Rail Station from Renton.
Because of its size, complexity and cost, the project must be built in phases. Phase 1
Segment 1 from Oakesdale Avenue SW to Naches Avenue SW, shown in green on the
graphic, has already been built. The current phase, Phase 1 Segment 2A, shown in pink
on the graphic, consists of a new underpass under the BNSF railroad tracks which will
accommodate 4 lanes of traffic, a pedestrian trail, and a two-lane road from Naches
Avenue SW into the Tukwila Sounder Station. The final phase, shown in yellow, will
extend the four-lane arterial to its terminus at West Valley Highway.
Due mainly to increased costs and the loss of several funding sources, it was deemed
necessary to consider delaying installation of the two-lane road and only build the
railroad underpass in this phase. However, the $2.5 million state transportation budget
proviso has reduced the funding gap to only $700,000. The requested temporary loan
will allow both the railroad underpass and road to be built as part of this current phase.

The plan would be to advertise the project for bids by the end of May 2011, and
hopefully start construction in September. The duration of the construction project is
expected to be 18 months.
The attached cost spreadsheet shows that almost all of the $17,500,000 estimated to be
needed to complete this project comes from outside sources – grants and partner
contributions. The requested $700,000 loan is the only Renton funding that would be
needed to complete this phase. This proposal is for the $700,000 to be loaned for a
period not to exceed 5 years, at an interest rate of 2.25%. The repayment would be
from Fund 317, the Transportation Capital Fund, on a cost recovery basis with annual
payments of $149,569 per year. Modest reductions will be made to other
transportation projects to accommodate these payments, as shown in the Loan Analysis
Table.

authenticated and delivered hereunder and are entitled to the benefits of this ordinance.
In case either of the officers who shall have executed the Bonds shall cease to be an
officer or officers of the City before the Bonds so signed shall have been authenticated or
delivered by the Bond Registrar, or issued by the City, such Bonds may nevertheless be
authenticated, delivered and issued and upon such authentication, delivery and issuance, shall

Section 9. Tax Covenants. The City covenants that it will not take or permit to be

covenants that it will not take any action or fail to take any action with respect to the proceeds
