CITY OF RENTON
Community and Economic Development Department
D-156 Outdoor Storage
Staff: Clark H. Close
Date: February 10, 2020
Applicant or Requestor: CED, Planning Division
______________________________________________________________________________
General Description
Staff proposes a code amendment to the Zoning Use Table, Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-2-060 Zoning
Use Table – Uses Allowed in Zoning Designations, to permit bulk storage1 use in all three (3) industrial
zones (Light, Medium and Heavy) subject to certain conditions. There are many types of storage uses in
the Renton Municipal Code (RMC) and this docket item aims to classify bulk storage in the Zoning Use
Table. Bulk storage use should be categorized to provide better clarity and development standards and to
include specific separation distances from residential buildings and residential uses.
Background
Certain storage uses are classified under the Zoning Use Table. These storage uses are as follows: a)
hazardous material storage, on site or off site, including treatment; b) indoor storage; c) outdoor storage,
existing; d) outdoor storage, new; e) self-service storage; f) vehicle storage; and g) warehousing.
Bulk storage is defined under RMC 4-11-190 Definitions S, as follows:
STORAGE, BULK:
1. The holding or stockpiling on land of material and/or products where such storage constitutes forty
percent (40%) of the developed site area and the storage area is at least one acre, and where at least
three (3) of the following criteria are met by the storage activity:
a. In a bulk form or in bulk containers;
b. Under protective cover to the essential exclusion of other uses of the same space due to special
fixtures or exposed to the elements;
c. In sufficient numbers, quantities or spatial allocation of the site to determine and rank such uses
as the principal use of the site;
d. The major function is the collection and/or distribution of the material and/or products rather
than processing; and
e. The presence of fixed bulk containers or visible stockpiles for a substantial period of a year.
2. Bulk storage facilities include, but are not limited to:
a. Automobile holding and transfer depots;
b. Brick or tile storage and manufacturing;
c. Concrete block and products storage and manufacturing;
d. Contractor equipment yards;
e. Equipment or machinery of the stationary type not in use, not mounted on necessary
foundations or connected as required when during use, not designated and used as portable, and
1 The definition of “Bulk Storage” includes holding or stockpiling material and Bulk Storage Facilities, as defined by
RMC 4-11-190 Definitions S.
AGENDA ITEM #2. a)
#D-156 Outdoor Storage Page 2 of 5 February 10, 2020
not stored in a warehouse. This includes operable motor vehicles or wheeled equipment used
only periodically where storage durations exceed those provided for parking lots as defined in
RMC 4-4-080, Parking, Loading and Driveway Regulations;
f. Foundries;
g. Fuel yards, wholesale;
h. Grain or feed sites, elevators, or the open storage of grain and feed;
i. Log, random cut and chipped wood by-products storage;
j. Lumber mills and wholesalers;
k. Sand and gravel yards including sizing, transfer and loading equipment when present;
l. Scrap or junk yards and wrecking yards;
m. Solid waste holding and disposal areas;
n. Tank farms including distribution and loading systems.
3. Bulk storage facilities exclude:
a. Land banks, greenbelts, watersheds or public water reservoirs;
b. Parking lots or structures for private licensed automobiles;
c. Ship yards;
d. Warehouses alone or in conjunction with manufacturing on the site and when not including any
of the uses listed above in subsection (2)(a) through (2)(n) of this definition;
e. Facilities for storage of petroleum or any of its by-products, for use incidental to the primary use
of the property (e.g., heating, boiler or vehicular fuel or lubricants);
f. Retail service stations;
g. Retail sales lots for new or used automobiles.
Bulk storage facilities constitute an entire section under Chapter 4 City-Wide Property Development
Standards under section RMC 4-4-110, Storage Facilities, Bulk. The intent of the regulation of bulk storage
facilities is to allow such facilities in a location and manner so they are compatible with adjacent or
abutting properties and beneficial to the City and in accordance with the State Environmental Policy Act
(SEPA). It is further the intent to insure that the safety, health, welfare, aesthetics and morals of the
community are maintained at a high level. In order to meet the intent of this code section, a minimum
separation distance should be established between bulk storage/bulk storage facility and residential
buildings and residential uses.
Despite not being a frequently requested land use in Renton, bulk storage and bulk storage facilities have
the ability to be detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, and general welfare. This is one of the
factors that limits permitting of bulk storage facilities to a special permit only.
Proposed Text Amendments to Code
Following public comment received on December 23, 2019 (Exhibit 1), staff recommends revising the bulk
storage use to be allowed in the industrial zoning designations and change the development standards to
require at least one hundred feet (100') from any residential zoning designations.
Staff Recommendation
Development and zoning regulations text amendment to the City’s Municipal Code. Adopt an ordinance
amending applicable sections of RMC 4-2-060 Zoning Use Table – Uses Allowed in Zoning Designations,
RMC 4-4-110 Storage Facilities, Bulk, and RMC 4-11-190 Definitions S.

Avenue South/ SR-167, provided:
a. Gambling facilities, vehicle and equipment rental, and communication broadcast and relay
towers are prohibited within the area south of I-405 and north of SW 16th Street.
b. Outdoor storage (existing and new), vehicle storage, and large vehicle sales are only allowed in
the area south of I-405 and west of Rainier Avenue South/SR-167. Outdoor storage is allowed as
an accessory use in all industrial zones.
c. The specified use shall be subject to the special permits provision pursuant to RMC 4-9-220. Bulk
storage is only allowed at least one hundred feet (100') from any residential building or use if it
is intended to serve residential uses. Bulk storage shall be consistent with the provisions of RMC
4-4-110, Storage Facilities, Bulk.
RMC 4-4-110 STORAGE FACILITIES, BULK
Update this entire section to also include bulk storage, currently only written for bulk storage facilities.
RMC 4-11-190 Definitions S:
STORAGE, INDOOR: A use engaged in the storage of goods and/or materials characterized by infrequent
pick-up and delivery, and located within a building. The definition excludes bulk storage, hazardous
material storage, self-service storage, warehousing and distribution, and vehicle storage.
STORAGE, OUTDOOR: The outdoor accumulation of material or equipment for the purpose of sale, rental,
use on site, or shipping to other locations. This definition excludes bulk storage, hazardous material
storage, warehousing and distribution, vehicle storage, and outdoor retail sales.
AGENDA ITEM #2. a)
#D-156 Outdoor Storage Page 4 of 5 February 10, 2020
STORAGE, SELF-SERVICE: A building or group of buildings consisting of individual, self-contained units
leased to individuals, organizations, or businesses for self-service storage of personal property. This
definition excludes indoor storage, warehousing, outdoor storage, bulk storage, and hazardous material
storage.
Impact Analysis
Effect on rate of growth, development, and conversion of land as envisioned in the Plan
Allowing bulk storage as proposed would classify bulk storage as a permitted use in the industrial zones
subject to certain conditions of approval and would be subject to a special permit from the Hearing
Examiner. The review process and decision criteria for a special permit is the same as a conditional use
permit. Bulk storage facilities is a similar use that is only allowed by a special permit. Conditions and
restrictions are also proposed that are intended to establish minimum separation distances between bulk
storage and residential uses.
Effect on the City’s capacity to provide adequate public facilities
Not applicable. There are no anticipated effects on the City’s capacity to provide adequate public facilities
created by the proposed changes.
Effect on the rate of population and employment growth
There are no anticipated effects on the rate of population and employment growth created by the
proposed changes. Regulating bulk storage uses to the industrial zones may reduce the amount of land
available for bulk storage or bulk storage facilities. Residential uses are not permitted uses in the industrial
zone. Permitting bulk storage uses in the IL, IM or IH zones would be consistent with many other storage
uses already allowed in the IL, IM, or IH zones.
Whether Plan objectives are being met as specified or remain valid and desirable
Objectives of the Plan would remain valid and desirable. The IL, IM, and IH zones provide for areas for
industrial activities involving bulk handling, storage, and warehousing. The Comprehensive Plan policy of
the Employment Area (EA) Comprehensive Land Use Designation is as follows: “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, in 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 that promotes the
gradual transition of uses on sites with good access and visibility to more intensive commercial and office
uses (Policy L-18).” The industrial zones are described as follows:
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 contained
within their buildings. This zone implements the Employment Area land use designation.
Medium Industrial Zone – Zone property Medium Industrial (IM) where it is intended for manufacturing,
processing, assembly, and warehousing. Outdoor storage of some materials may be allowed. Uses and
potential impacts of uses in this zone are contained within the property or project site. This zone
implements the Employment Area land use designation.
Heavy Industrial Zone – Zone property Heavy Industrial (IH) where it is intended for high-intensity
fabrication, processing of raw materials, bulk handling and storage, or heavy construction and
transportation. Such uses may require significant outdoor area in which to conduct operations and
AGENDA ITEM #2. a)
#D-156 Outdoor Storage Page 5 of 5 February 10, 2020
isolation or buffering from other uses may be necessary to help control potential impacts. This zone
implements the Employment Area land use designation.
The addition of bulk storage to the IL, IM and IH zones would support the objective of this land use
designation.
Effect on general land values or housing costs
The addition of bulk storage to the industrial zones may have an effect on land values. It is anticipated
that land will be developed to the highest and best use. In some areas of the City, bulk storage would not
be the highest and best use for the site. However, with increase separation from recreational uses, the
neighboring residential buildings and residential uses could benefit from a larger setback to bulk storage.
It is not anticipated that the addition of this use would decrease property values, but may increase, as it
would provide greater benefit to existing residences.
Whether capital improvements or expenditures are being made or completed as expected
Not applicable. There are no anticipated effects on capital improvements or expenditures created by the
proposed changes.
Consistency with GMA, the Plan, and Countywide Planning Policies
The proposed amendments are consistent with GMA, the Plan, and Countywide Policies.
Effect on critical areas and natural resource lands
There are no anticipated effects on critical areas and natural resource lands. If there are such impacts with
bulk storage uses, an environmental evaluation would be part of a project's review.
