An RMC chapter should be cited chapter 4-10 RMC. An RMC section should be cited RMC 4-10-010. Through references should be made as RMC 4-10-010 through 4-10-040. Series of sections should be cited as RMC 4-10-010, 4-10-020, and 4-10-030. Page and section numbering system: The page numbering system for these regulations does not run sequentially from the first page of the document to the last. Instead, page numbering begins with the number of the chapter followed by a page number. Each chapter starts with a Table of Contents listing the provisions found in the chapter by page number. These Table of Contents pages themselves are numbered with lowercase Roman numerals. For example, the first page of the Table of Contents of the first chapter is 1-i; the first page of text of the first chapter is 1-1; the tenth page is 1-10. The first page of the Table of Contents of the second chapter is 2-i; the first page of text is 2-1, and so on to the end of the document. As the Development Regulations are supplemented and pages are added, a decimal numbering and lettering system is used to allow for expansion of existing chapters. A detailed directions page is included with each supplement. The section numbering system used in the Development Regulations operates in the following manner: Legislation: The legislative source of each section is enclosed in parentheses at the end of the applicable section or subsection. References to ordinances are abbreviated and a semicolon between ordinance citations indicates an amendment of the earlier section; thus “(Ord. 4638, 4-4-94; Amd. Ord. 4654, 6-5-94)” refers to Ordinance No. 4638 as amended by Ordinance No. 4654. Index: The Development Regulations index follows Chapter 4-11. The index includes com- plete cross-referencing and is keyed to the section and subsection numbers described above. Errors or omissions: Although considerable care has been used in the production of this code, it is inevitable in so large a work that there will be errors. As users of this code detect such errors, it is requested that a note citing the section involved and the nature of the error be mailed to: Code Publishing Company, P. O. Box 51164, Seattle, WA 98115-1164, so that correction may be made in a subsequent update. Computer access: The code is available in the following computer formats: ASCII text or Folio infobase. 410010 A1a(i) title of Renton Municipal Code chapter of title section of chapter subsections –– This Supplement No. 10 brings the Renton Development Regulations up to date through Ordinance 4869, passed October 23, 2000. 2 - i (Revised 12/00) Chapter 2 LAND USE DISTRICTS This Chapter last amended by Ord. 4869, October 23, 2000.

PURPOSES AND PRIORITIES: Each shoreline has its own unique qualities which makes it valuable, particularly Shorelines of Statewide Significance, which in Renton include Lake Washington and the Green River. Prefer- ence is, therefore, given to the following uses in descending order of priority for shorelines of statewide significance (as established by RCW 90.58.020): 1. Recognize and protect the statewide in- terest over local interest for shorelines of statewide significance. 2. Preserve the natural character of the shorelines. 3. Result in long-term over short-term ben- efits. 4. Protect the resources and ecology of the shorelines. 5. Increase public access to publicly owned areas of the shorelines. (Ord. 3758, 12-5-1983, Rev. 7-22-1985 (Min.), 3-12-1990 (Res. 2787), 7-16-1990 (Res. 2805), Rev. 9-12-1993 (Min.), Ord. 4716, 4-13-1998) 6. Increase recreational opportunities for the public in the shoreline. E. REGULATED WATER BODIES: Approximately eighteen (18) miles of shoreline in the City of Renton are under the jurisdiction of the Shoreline Management Act of 1971.

In the City of Renton, the following bodies of water are regulated by the Act: 1. Cedar River. 2. Green River. 3. Lake Washington. 4. May Creek from the intersection of May Creek and N.E. 31st Street in the southeast quarter of the southeast quarter of Section 32-24-5E WM downstream in a northeasterly direction to its mouth at Lake Washington. 5. Springbrook Creek from the Black River on the north to SW 43rd Street on the south. 6. Black River. 7.
