MITIGATION MEASURES Non-applicable. No specific mitigation measures are proposed. Future developments in the zones will need to comply with City codes and standards, and may be required to mitigate impacts where subject to SEPA review. Advisory Notes to Applicant: The following notes are supplemental information provided in conjunction with the environmental determination. Because these notes are provided as information only,they are not subject to the appeal process for environmental determinations. D. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS Whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development? 1, 2, 3, 7 Earth,Air, Water, and Environmental Health Impacts: The non-project proposal is not anticipated to impact these environmental areas. Future site-specific developments could result in impacts to earth and water such as erosion and runoff, depending on their design and location. Future developments may also result in air and noise emissions during construction and operation. Future developments may utilize materials which are hazardous. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures are proposed for the non-project action. In the future, site specific proposals will be subject to environmental review if review thresholds are triggered, and subject to RMC requirements for noise levels, aquifer recharge area protection, land clearing and tree cutting, storm and surface water drainage, Uniform Building and Fire Code regulations, Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Authority regulations, and other requirements. Nexus: Non-applicable. No mitigation measures proposed. 4, 5 Plants and Animals Impacts: The non-project proposal is not anticipated to impact these environmental areas. Future site-specific developments may occur on properties with sensitive plant or animal species since the amendments address commercial and industrial zones City-wide. Mitigation Measures: Non-applicable to the non-project legislative action. Future site-specific proposals would be subject to the Land Clearing and Tree Cutting Ordinance, Greenbelt Ordinance, Landscaping Ordinance, Wetlands Ordinance, and Environmental (SEPA) Ordinance. Nexus: Non-applicable. No mitigation measures proposed. ERCRPT.DOC City of Renton PB/PW Department onmental Review Committee Staff Report Proposed Zoning Code Amendments-,sus Stations, Vehicle Service,Mini-Marts and Relasea Jses LUA-98-011,ECF REPORT AND D 4CISION OF FEBR UARY 17, 1998 Page 3 of 4 8, 11 Land .'Ise and Light and Glare Impacts: The non-project proposal is compatible with existing plans to allow a variety of commercial and industrial uses in the commercial and industrial zones; uses to be prohibited in the Center Downtown are consistent with the vision and policies in the Comprehensive Plan. Some of the amendments clarify or refine current regulations regarding buffering to avoid incompatibilities. Future site-specific developments may result in light and glare impacts depending on the desig i or materials of the buildings. The Airport Manager is concerned that the uses to be added to the Heavy Industrial zone, which most likely will be applied to ti to airport property in the future, not result in these uses being located on the Airport. As long as there is public ownership of the Airport, and review authority,this should not be an issue. Mitigation Measures: No mitigation measures are proposed for the non-project legislative action. Future development proposals will be subject to Zoning, Site Plan, and environmental review requirements. Nexus: Non-applicable. No mitigation measures proposed. 14, 15 Transportation and Public Services Impacts: The proposal would not directly result in impacts to transportation or public services, as this proposed legislation would be a non-project action. Future development may increase demand for transportation or public services and utilities. Mitigation Measures: Non-applicable to this non-project action. Future site-specific developments will be subject to the Environmental (SEPA) Ordinance, Commute Trip Reduction Ordinance, Street Improvements Ordinance, transportation concurrenc,' requirements, Uniform Fire Code, as well as any requirements for mitigation fees, and utility requirements, and others. Nexus: Nc n-applicable. No mitigation measures proposed. E. COMMENTS OF REVIEWING DEPARTMENTS The proposal l as been circulated to City Departmental/Divisional Reviewers for their review. Where applicable,these comments have been incorporated into the text of this report as Mitigation Measures and/or Notes to Applicant.

MMTNVIIIONTIVIENTALCFIECKLISTIMMMOMMMMMM PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An Environmental Impact Statement(EIS)must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal,if it can be done)and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly,with the most precise information known,or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully,to the best of your knowledge. In most cases,you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal,write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems,the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals,even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS(part D). For nonproject actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs), the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and"property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively.
