that the problems created by seaplanes have increased this year. He suggested
that the increase may stem from 1)the new airport manager not being aware of
past problems,and 2)reconstruction of the seaplane dock. Mr.Evans described
two occasions when seaplanes started their takeoff within 100 yards of the
dock,and asked for the City's help in reducing the problems associated with
seaplanes.
Mayor Tanner recommended reconvening the committee and discussing the
issue with the seaplane operators. He stated that the City of Renton has no
authority over the matter,explaining that the Coast Guard has authority over
navigable water,and the Federal Aviation Administration has jurisdiction in air
space. He added that the most Renton can do is to try to improve the situation
through volunteer means.

Project Manager: Rebecca Lind
Project Description: The proposed zoning text amendment would add Secure Community Transition Facilities
(SCTF),which are facilities for sexually violent offenders,to the zoning use table in the Heavy Industrial,Medium Industrial
and Commercial Arterial zones in the Employment Area Valley south of Interstate 405. The use would be a Hearing Examiner
Conditional Use subject to several special design criteria including evidence of a public process,consideration of alternative
locations,operating rules and a security plan. As proposed the facilities could not house more than 3 persons,not be allowed
within 330 feet of a residential use or within one mile of an existing SCTF,work release,prerelease or similar facility. The
proposal includes an analysis of 3 options for buffering from"risk potential activities"as defined in RCW 71.09.020: 1) 330 ft.,
2) 1000 ft.,and 3) within the line of sight as defined in the state statute
Project Location: Potential locations Employment Area Valley Comprehensive Plan Designation
South of 1-405. There is currently no proposal to locate such a facility in Renton.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 5,2002
TO: Toni Nelson,President
City Council Members

FROM: Sue Carlson,Administrator
Economic Development,Neighborhoods,
and Strategic Planning Department
STAFF CONTACT: Rebecca Lind(ext. 6588)
VIA: Mayor Jesse Tanner
SUBJECT: Secure Community Transition Facilities
ISSUE:
By September 2001,Washington State counties and cities must decide whether to amend their
comprehensive plans and development regulations to provide for siting"Secure Community Transition
Facilities"(SCTS), in accordance with ESSB 6594 enacted March 2002. These are facilities for Level
III sex offenders.The Washington State Department of Social and Health Services(DSHS)has the
authority to "preempt"jurisdictions that fail to complete the required planning by October 1,2002, and
pursue their own siting process.
• Should the City of Renton add the new use to the zoning regulations and enact development
standards to guide siting and development of this use?
Or
• Should The City allow DSHS to pre-empt local land use and take responsibility for siting these
facilities?
• Due to the time frame allowed for consideration of a draft ordinance, should the issue be exempted
from the annual Title IV docket review process and forwarded to the Planning Commission and
Planning and Development Committee for review and recommendation?
RECOMMENDATION:
• Consider Option 3, as outlined later in this document,after review and comment from DSHS.If this
approach complies with the State statute,the proposed ordinance provides the most comprehensive
approach to regulating SCTF land uses.This approach both limits this use to a section of the City
(the Valley, south of 1-405) that has the least impact on residential areas and provides a reasonable
amount of potential acreage for siting opportunities.
•
August 5, 2002
•
Page 2
• Option 2(text definitions) as outlined later in this document,be considered as a minimal response,
if the State DSHS comments that Option 3 is overly regulatory.
• Due to the short time until the October ls`deadline, it is recommended that the City Council make a
finding to consider this code amendment as a exemption to the Title IV docket amendment process
set forth in Title IV 4-9-025c, and refer the issue to the Planning Commission and the Planning and
Development Committee for review.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
This background summary is excerpted from the City of Kent Staff report to the Kent Land Use
and Planning Board July 22,2002 by Charlene Anderson,Planning Manager.
"Senate Bill ESSB 6594 enacted March 2002 (amending ESSB 6151 which was enacted June 2001)
requires cities to provide for siting of secure community transition facilities (SCTF) by September 1,
2002. Changes to state law occurred as a result of a 1991 civil rights complaint and 1994 federal court
order requiring the McNeil Island total confinement facility to provide residents with "constitutionally
adequate mental health treatment." This means that residents who are ready for conditional release
must have an opportunity for less restrictive alternative placement.
SCTFs provide sexual offenders with living arrangements that are less restrictive than total
confinement. An SCTF has "...supervision and security, and either provides or ensures the provision of
sex offender treatment services"(RCW 71.09.020).
The 2002 Legislature provided an appropriation to the Department of Social and Health Services
(DSHS)for the implementation of ESSB 6594 and also allowed the state to `preempt and supersede
local plans, development regulations, permitting requirements, inspection requirements, and all other
laws as necessary... "for failure to comply. However,failure to act by the September 1, 2002 deadline
is not a condition for fiscal sanctions, appeals to the Growth Management Hearings Board, or a private
cause of action. Reference attached ESSB 6594 amended the Growth Management Act to include
SCTFs in the list of facilities that typically are difficult to site and that are deemed "essential public
facilities" (RCW 36.70A.200 "GMA'). As directed by GMA, cities must have a process for identifying
and siting these facilities."
State law requires SCTFs to provide a high degree of security and staff supervision. Security measures
include court conditions,proximity to risk locations, intensive staffing, closer supervision and escorts,
household security systems, intensive training for qualified staff, informed staff and escorts, requiring
advance planning for community trips, and individual electronic monitoring devices. The law also
requires the City to consider the effect of "equitable distribution factors" on the siting of a facility.
Consideration will be given to the City's number and location of existing residential facilities operated
by the Department of Corrections or the Mental Health Division of DSHS, the number of registered sex
offenders classified as level II or level III, and the number of sex offenders registered as homeless in the
City. "Equitable distribution"means avoiding a disproportionate grouping of similar facilities in any
one jurisdiction.
The new SCTF law provides that such facilities may not be sited within the line of sight of any risk
potential activities or facilities, i.e., those activities and facilities where the public has a higher
incidence of risk from persons who are conditionally released from the special commitment center. The
risk potential activities and facilities include schools, licensed day care and preschool facilities,public
parks,publicly dedicated trails,playgrounds, sports fields, recreational and community centers, school
bus stops, religious facilities, and public libraries.

ANALYSIS
Renton's Comprehensive Plan addresses essential public facilities and allows for adoption of
development standards establishing both review criteria and mapping for SCTF as defined by ESSB
6594. As a result further comprehensive plan amendments are not needed at this time.
Land Use Policy LU-233: "Guide and modify development of essential public facilities to meet
Comprehensive Plan policies and to mitigate impacts and costs to the City. "
Land Use Policy LU-234: "Use public processes and create criteria to ident public
facilities. Public processes should include notification, hearings and citizen involvement.
Criteria should be developed to review and assess proposals for public facilities".
Renton does allow Group Homes I in the Commercial Arterial (CA)and Center Downtown (CD)Zones
with a Conditional Use permit, and Group Homes II with fewer than six residents as a permitted use in
all zones. With more than seven residents, Group Homes II requires a Hearing Examiner Conditional
Use permit. As presently defined, Group Homes I are rehabilitative facilities that may include halfway
houses and/or substance abuse recovery homes. A Group Home II is a protective residency which may
include housing for mentally and physically disabled persons, foster child care, shelter,orphanages, and
other uses where residents are deemed vulnerable and/or disabled and are not a threat to self or to public
safety.
It is possible that an interpretation of our current code by DSHS could allow location of SCTF facilities
under these existing definitions.
According to King County Registered Sex Offender web site data updated July 31, 2002, the City of
Renton has 12 Level III and 17 Level II registered sex offenders.
The Griffin Home, located on Lake Washington Blvd. is a Group Home II facility that houses juvenile
offenders including some sex offenders. It is operated by the Friends of Youth, a private non-profit
organization. Since this facility is not operated by DSHS or the Department of Corrections, it is not
clear whether Renton will receive any "credit" for this facility when it calculates "equitable distribution
factors".
DSHS sent the City Geographic Information Systems (GIS)data providing location of the risk potential
facilities in Renton and the surrounding area,referenced by the new law. A map of the risk potential
facilities is attached.
Staff is proposing the following options for consideration:
1) No Change
Under this option, SCTF would be potentially classified as Class I Group Homes and allowed in the
CA and CD zoning districts by Conditional Use Permit. Concerns about this option include the
desirability of this use in these locations,the limited number of available parcels and the possibility
of State preemption because of the perceived "more restrictive" criteria from State law. It is also
possible DSHS would interpret the SCTF as excluded from the Group Home I definition and
determine that Renton has no regulation. In that case,pre-emption would likely occur.
2) Text Amendment Definitions
This option proposes an ordinance amendment only to the definitions section of Title IV. A
definition of SCTF is proposed as follows:
IssuePaper
August 5, 2002
Page 5
Staff has completed a preliminary GIS analysis of this proposed use as it might occur in the Valley
under Option 3. Although Renton's draft ordinance states that these uses must be 330 feet from
residential uses,this provision is anticipated to have little impact on the actual siting of the facilities as
there are no residential uses in this area within Renton. The only existing residential use in the area that
would trigger this requirement is located in Tukwila. A future residential Transit Oriented Development
project is currently under consideration in Tukwila,however the entire area adjacent to that proposal is
in the Commercial Office(CO) zone and would not be eligible for SCTF siting.
Staff evaluated a buffer area of both 330 feet and 1000 feet as a proxy for the site distance criteria in the
state regulations did. We realize that the actual site distance would be calculated at the time a specific
site was selected and might be either greater or less than the 330 feet. However,with a distance of 1000
feet, 130 acres would be available.With a distance of 330 feet, 396 acres would be available. The
breakdown by zone, after wetlands are excluded from the calculations, is shown on the table below.
330 ft. Buffer
Zone Area (acres) Wetlands Total Developable
CA 32.90 0.95 31.95
IL 149.12 19.75 129.37
IM 174.19 19.55 154.64
I H 91.08 10.19 80.89
1000 ft. Buffer
Zone Area (acres) Wetlands Total Developable
CA 8.19 0.54 7.65
IL 59.52 16.27 43.25
IM 65.54 0.10 65.44
IH 14.15 0.35 13.80
The attached map of the Employment Area Valley south of I-405 illustrates this distance from"risk
potential activities"using both the 1000-foot and 330-foot standard. At this time we do not have
knowledge of another work release,pre-release or similar facility located within one mile of this area,
but believe that if one were established in either Kent or Tukwila, or at another location in Renton, that
this standard would provide reasonable spacing between facilities.
CONCLUSION:
To provide for the overall protection of the public welfare a more specific regulatory approach to siting
SCTF land uses is desirable provided that the buffering and review criteria can be upheld. The risk of
preemption by the State is not worth the possibility of losing control of project design and inspection
responsibilities.

'Area excludes wetlands and is shown in acres
RCW 71.09.285 states that "in no case shall the [DSHS] policy guidelines permit
location of a facility adjacent to, immediately across a street or parking lot from, or
within the line of sight of a risk potential activity or facility in existence at the time a
site is listed for consideration." It goes on to define "within the line of sight" as
meaning "that it is possible to reasonably visually distinguish and recognize
individuals."
DSHS recently completed field tests to determine what linear distance is a
reasonable measure of an unobstructed line of sight. In our tests, we determined
that an individual might reasonably visually distinguish and recognize other
individuals who are standing within 600 feet, assuming the terrain is unobstructed.
We suggest that you amend your proposed ordinance with wording something like
this:
In no case shall a secure community transition facility be sited adjacent to,
immediately across the street or parking lot from, or within the line of sight
of risk potential activities or facilities in existence at the time a site is listed
for consideration. 'Within line of sight" means that it is possible to
reasonably visually distinguish and recognize individuals. For the purposes
of granting a conditional use permit for siting a secure community transition
facility, the Town Council shall consider an unobstructed visual distance of
600 feet to be "within line of sight." Through the Conditional Use Permit
process, "line of sight" may be considered to be less than 600 feet if the
applicant can demonstrate that visual barriers exist or can be created that
would reduce the line of sight to less than 600 feet.
Cita .from 04,L, 3 Nei --(Kt. (,j4/1 WI/6
The department is planning to site one 12-bed facility in King County. The facility would
be designed as two six-bed buildings on one site, with the construction of the second
building to be completed when needed. Building and operating four three-bed facilities
instead of one 12-bed facility would nearly double the capital costs and increase ongoing
annual operating costs by 46 percent. These increases would be on top of an already
expensive program. The operating costs of one three-bed facility—after the initial
startup expenses in the first two years —would be an estimated $1.068 million per year.
The 12-bed facility would be an estimated $2.936 million per year. It would cost an
additional $1.336 million per year to house 12 residents in four facilities instead of one.
In establishing state operating and capital budgets, the legislature must make decisions
based on a prudent use of the state's resources. Restricting the size of the secure
community transition facility to three beds, which would require siting four facilities on
four sites, is clearly not a prudent use of resources. Such a restriction on the facility size
by local jurisdictions would appear to be designed to be preclusive. It would greatly
elevate the cost without any analysis and justification to show that the increased cost is
essential to and enhances public safety.
Determining the size of a SCTF is within the scope of the department's decision-making
authority granted by the legislature. Using a reference to RCW 71.09.255(2)(c), which
states that the minimum size facility is three beds, to justify the City's proposed size
limitation is an incorrect application of the law. Please note that RCW 71.09.255
pertains to incentive grants to local jurisdictions for planning for the siting of SCTFs. A
minimum size is not a maximum size. There is no reference in the law that gives local
jurisdictions the authority to limit the size of the facility.
The issue of equitable distribution of SCTFs is addressed in RCW 71.09.250(8). The
following is a key statement in this section:
In coordinating and deciding upon the siting of secure community
transition facilities, great weight shall be given by the county and the cities
within the county to...[the number and location of existing residential
facility beds operated by the department of corrections or the mental
health division of the department of social and health services and the
number of registered sex offenders classified as level ll or level III and the
number of sex offenders registered as homeless in each jurisdiction in the
county]..."
A plain reading of this section makes clear the legislature's intent for the county and
cities within the county to work closely together and with the department to determine
where facilities are most appropriately sited. It does not suggest that local jurisdictions
have the right to determine the size of the facilities, but rather where the facilities would
be most appropriately located to avoid an undue burden on a community that may
already have a significant number of mental health and correctional residential facilities
or registered sex offenders.
In directing each county and the cities within the county to work together, the legislature
recognized that the equitable distribution of SCTF requires coordination across
jurisdictions. If each jurisdiction, looking only to its own jurisdiction, were to develop an
"equitable distribution" policy that arbitrarily limits the size of the facility with the effect of
significantly increasing the cost, the result would not be equitable distribution of facilities,

1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055
Phone: 425-430-7200 Fax: 425-430-7231
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 pre ration 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 dpecjy •roposal
or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask yoestp at*01. ;DINING
answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be signi is tt
adverse impact. JUL 2 6 2Cn2
USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: RECEIVED

D. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS
(These sheets should only be used for actions involving decisions on policies, plans and
programs. You do not need to fill out these sheets for project actions.)
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the
list of the elements of the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities
likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than
if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms.
1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production,
storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise?
None. Uses currently allowed in these zoning designations would allow comparable levels of
discharges of these types.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are:
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
Uses currently allowed in these zoning designations would allow comparable levels of
impacts on plants, animals fish or marine line
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are:
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
Uses currently allowed in these zoning designations would allow comparable levels of
depletion of resources.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are:
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas
designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness,
wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites,
wetlands, flood plains, or prime farmlands?
Uses currently allowed in these zoning designations would allow comparable impacts on
sensitive area.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow
or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
Location of a SCTF land use in one of these zones could have a potentially negative impact of
adjacent uses and the re-development of industrial areas with for intensive commercial uses.
However as current zoning allows a range of uses in these zones introduction of this new land use
would not preclude the continuation of industrial activities or any use of adjacent areas.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are:
\\DAEDALUS\SYS2\SHARED\EDNSP\Title IV\Multiple Zone 9
Amends\SCTF\environmental checklist.doc
6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and
utilities?
This land use would increase demands on police service and demands on social services.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are:
DSHS would provide additional social services. The Renton Police Department would likely
provide additional services to these facilities.
7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or
requirements for the protection of the environment. State law ESSB 6594 requires adequate
planning for siting of these facilities in local communities. Specific proposals for facilities will be
reviewed under SEPA at the project level.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The enclosed draft ordinance sets forth the City's approach to compliance with 3ESSB 61. The City's
Comprehensive Plan adequately addresses essential public facilities and allows for adoption of
development standards establishing both review criteria and mapping for Secure Community Transition
Facilities. As a result we are not proposing any further comprehensive plan amendments at this time,but
are focusing on the development regulations.
Land Use Policy LU-233 states "Guide and modify development of essential public facilities to
meet Comprehensive Plan policies and to mitigate impacts and costs to the City."
Land Use Policy LU-234 states "Use public processes and create criteria to identify public
facilities. Public processes should include notification, hearings and citizen involvement. Criteria
should be developed to review and assess proposals for public facilities".
This ordinance proposes allowing SCTF land uses in the Commercial Arterial,Medium Industrial and
Heavy Industrial zones within the Employment Area Valley portion of the City south of I-405. The use
would require a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use process and be subject to the following conditions:
a. House no more than 3 persons,excluding resident staff. (Correction underlined)
b. Not be allowed within 330 feet of any residential zone or residential use,located within or outside the
City limits.
c. Not be allowed adjacent to,abutting,across a parking lot from,or within the line of sight from a"risk
potential activity"as defined in RCW 71.09.020,including but not limited to:
• Community centers
• Licensed day care operations
• Licensed preschool facilities
• Public libraries
• Public park and recreation facilities
• Religious facilities
• Schools
• School bus stops
• Sports fields,and
• Trails
d. Be located within one mile from any existing SCTF,work release,prerelease,or similar facility.
We have completed a preliminary GIS analysis of this proposed use in the Valley. Although Renton's draft
ordinance states that these uses must be 330 feet from residential uses,this provision is anticipated to have
little impact on the actual siting of the facilities as there are no residential uses in this area within Renton.
The only residential use in the area that would trigger this requirement is located in Tukwila.
Two alternative options for buffering are analyzed as a proxy for the site distance as defined in ESSB6594.
1)the 330 feet proposed in the ordinance draft and 2)a buffer of 1000 feet.Under the site distance
definition the actual site distance would be calculated at the time a specific site was selected and might be
either greater or less than the 330 feet. However,with a distance of 1000 feet, 130 acres would be
available.With a distance of 330 feet,396 acres would be available.The breakdown by zone,after
wetlands are excluded from the calculations,is shown on the table below.
330 ft. Buffer
Zone Area (acres) Wetlands Total Developable
CA 32.90 0.95 31.95
IL 149.12 19.75 129.37
IM 174.19 19.55 154.64
IH 91.08 10.19 80.89
Zone Area (acres) Wetlands Total Developable
CA 8.19 0.54 7.65
IL 59.52 16.27 43.25
IM 65.54 0.10 65.44
IH 14.15 0.35 13.80
The attached map of the Employment Area Valley south of I-405 illustrates this distance from"risk
potential activities"using both the 1000 foot and 330 foot standard. At this time we do not have
knowledge of another work release,pre-release or similar facility located within one mile of this area,but
believe that if one were established in either Kent or Tukwila,or at another location in Renton,that this
standard would provide a reasonable spacing between facilities.
The proposed conditional use process requires several decision criteria. In reviewing these we evaluated
the state statute and believe that the seven items are consistent with the intent of the statute. The provisions
provide for public process,consideration of alternative locations,operating rules and a security plan which
are consistent with the state statute,and findings that there is equitable distribution of facilities and no
impact on any one racial,cultural or socio-economic group.
Our draft ordinance also proposed amending our current congregate residence,convalescent center,and
group home definitions to exclude SCTF land uses from these categories.

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT AMENDMENTS TO THE RENTON MUNICIPAL CODE
ENACTING REGULATIONS FOR SECURE COMMUNITY TRANSITION FACILITIES
Dear Mr. Nwankwo:
The enclosed draft ordinance is currently before the Renton Planning Commission and City Council for
review. This draft sets forth the City's approach to compliance with 3ESSB 6151. Please accept the
following amendments for 60-day review.
We have made the determination that the City's Comprehensive Plan adequately addresses essential
public facilities and allows for adoption of development standards establishing both review criteria and
mapping for Secure Community Transition Facilities. As a result we are not proposing any further
comprehensive plan amendments at this time, but are focusing on the development regulations.
Land Use Policy LU-233 states "Guide and modify development of essential public facilities to meet
Comprehensive Plan policies and to mitigate impacts and costs to the City."
Land Use Policy LU-234 states "Use public processes and create criteria to identify public facilities. Public
processes should include notification, hearings and citizen involvement. Criteria should be developed to
review and assess proposals for public facilities".
Our ordinance proposes to allow SCTF land uses in the Commercial Arterial, Medium Industrial and
Heavy Industrial zones within the Employment Area Valley portion of the City south of 1-405. The use
would require a Hearing Examiner Conditional Use process and be subject to the following conditions:
a. House more than 3 persons, excluding resident staff.
b. Not be allowed within 330 feet of any residential zone or residential use, located within or outside the
City limits.
c. Not be allowed adjacent to, abutting, across a parking lot from, or within the line of sight from a"risk
potential activity" as defined in RCW 71.09.020, including but not limited to:
• Community centers
• Licensed day care operations
• Licensed preschool facilities
• Public libraries
• Public park and recreation facilities
• Religious facilities
• Schools
• School bus stops
• Sports fields, and
Trails
d. Be located within one mile from any existing SCTF, work release, prerelease, or similar facility.
We have completed a preliminary GIS analysis of this proposed use in the Valley. Although Renton's draft
ordinance states that these uses must be 330 feet from residential uses, this provision is anticipated to
have little impact on the actual siting of the facilities as there are no residential uses in this area within
Renton. The only residential use in the area that would trigger this requirement is located in Tukwila. We
evaluated a buffer area of both 330 feet and 1000 feet as a proxy for the site distance criteria in the state
regulations. We realize that the actual site distance would be calculated at the time a specific site was
selected and might be either greater or less than the 330 feet. However, with a distance of 1000 feet, 130
acres would be available. With a distance of 330 feet, 396 acres would be available. The breakdown by

Subject: Reminder Map Amendments
The first briefing on map amendments is August 7 Packet materials go out by Friday August 2. Your
issue paper and recommendation is due at the end of this week so that Alex has plenty fo time to review
and comment.
Don and Gil are scheduled to begin with Springbrook and Rural Residential (Gil) and Talbot Rd. the COR
to RC technical correction, and Merlino(Don). Because we are going to need part of the agenda on
August 7th to complete work on the Housing Element I am moving the Talbot Map Amendment (Don) to
the 21st. That gives a little more time to get that one completed. don please put the PC meeting on your
schedule for that date as well (sorry)
For the second briefing on map amendments on August 21st(Elizabeth has Aegis technical correction,
KC Department of Heath site and the R-8/R-5 decision for the East Renton PAA. Issue papers are due by
August 9th.
If you need any mapping done for your item please coordinate with Gary. For each amendment I would
like an aerial, a map showing area comp plan and zoning and the parcel marked with existing and
proposed comp plan/zoning, and a map of sensitive areas. Please include the Comp Plan amendment
number in the title block. For Elizabeth's R/8-R-5 discussion and Gils rural Resdiential the mapping needs
are a bit different so lets discuss those.
A sample format for the issue paper is attached. I sent the format in an earlier e-mail just a note-the
category"best available science" isn't needed except for text amendments involving critical areas.
