Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council
Because of a prior commitment, I will be 'unable to attend t
'
the PubliC Hearing on the Amendments to the City's Zoning Ordinance
/
/ and the Planned Unit Development Ordinance. -However, I have re-
viewed the Ordinances in question and have the following comments
for your consideration:
I agree With the general concept of the Planned Unit Development
Ordinance' 1 It appears to be well thought out and prepared. Thisl
could proVide the impetus to encourage innovation and creativity in
future developments. The City of Renton needs developers who are
concerned with the ultimate benefit to the cOmmunity rather than
their personal economic gains. Hopefully this Ordinance will encourage
11
this goal
After reviewing the amendments to Chapter 7, of- Title IV, Ordinance
#1628, I had to stop and ask why? Why has the time and effort been
expended formulating the Planned Unit Development Ordinance whicn
encourages the more efficient use of land when, these amendments will
require a minimum land area of 4 acres and setbacks of 100' for churches
which abut 'residential areas? What is the criteria that determined
that churches are more detrimental to a residential area than other 1
uses such as businesses that are adjacent to residential ?ones? iHow d
can a church be more injurious than service stations, parking lots,',
tire repair shops and crematories which require far less setbacks? 11
, .
Why churches? What specifically is detrimental to the surrounding 11
neighborhood? Not tbo long ago churches were considered to be al
valuable liaddition to the community. What has changed? Are the churches
no longervViable institutions? Should they be eliminated because you do I,
not consider them an asset? I cannot find •any logical' reasons for these H
• I
restrictive amendments and I urge you to delete subsection 3, items (a)
thru (g) of section 4-706 of the proposed amendments. Thank youlfor
taking m,V1 comments into consideration and may God bless you for the time
and effortIthat is spent working for the people of Renton.

Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council :
Because of a prior commitment, I will be unable to attend
the Public Hearing on the Amendments to the City's Zoning Ordinance
and the Planned Unit Development Ordinance. However, I have re- '
viewed the Ordinances in question and have the following comments
for your consideration:
I agree with the general concept of the Planned Unit Development
Ordinance. It appears to be well thought out and prepared. This
could provide the impetus to encourage innovation and creativity in
future developments. The City of Renton needs developers who are
concerned with the ultimate benefit to the community rather than
their personal economic gains. Hopefully this Ordinance will encourage
this goal .
' I
After reviewing the amendments to Chapter 7 of Title IV, Ordinance
#1628, I had to stop and ask why? Why has the time and effort beep
expended formulating the Planned Unit Development Ordinance which
encourages the more efficient use of land when these amendments will
require a minimum land area of 4 acres and setbacks of 100' for ch rches
which abut residential areas? What is the criteria that determine
that churches are more detrimental to a residential area than other
uses such asibusinesses that are adjacent to residential zones? How
can a church be more injurious than service stations, parking lots,
tire repair shops and crematories which require far less setbacks?
Why churches? What specifically is detrimental to the surroundings 1
neighborhood? Not too long ago churches were considered to be a
valuable addition to the community. What has changed? Are the churches
no longer4<v4able institutions? Should they be eliminated because you do
not consider them an asset? I cannot find any logical reasons for these
restrictive amendments and I urge you to delete subsection 3, items; (a)
thru (g) of section 4-706 of the proposed amendments. Thank you for
taking my comments into consideration and may God bless you for the time
and effort that is spent working for the people of Renton.
Sincerely,
0\12 13/41,5 /71/646/

COMMENTS SUBMITTED BY DON KOLL COMPANY AND
QUENDALL TERMINALS TO CITY OF RENTON'S PROPOSED
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE (TENTH DRAFT)
Date: May 11, 1976
The following are general comments to the proposed
planned unit development ordinance to be considered by the
Renton City Council on May 11, 1976. The following comments
are submitted by Don Koll Company and Quendall Terminals and
11
are intended to be general in nature and are not exhaustive
of other more specific comments which will be provided at a
P
later date:
1- Section II, Purpose: It is suggested that
the first sentence of Section II should be amended to read
as follows:
"It is the purpose of this Ordinance
to encourage innovation and creativity in
the development of new residential, com-
meIrcial and industrial areas in the City
ofi Renton as comprehensive projects so as
toitake advantage of the superior environ-
ment which can result from large scale
community planning. "
2.i Section II (J) and (L) : The stated purposes
I '
of the Ordinance as set forth in subsections (J) and (L)
1
appear at first blush to be designed to maintain a status
quo. First of all, the developments which are encouraged
are those which will be compatable with adjacent existing
1
-1-
•
III
and proposed uses and, as set forth in subsection (L) ,
1
those which will maintain, "substantially the same popular
tion density and area coverage permitted in the zone in
which the project is located. " Further, it is noted that
subsection (J) requires that the planned unit development be
ne which is "beneficial to the community. " No definition
is given which would lend specificity to the requirement.
3. Section III (1) , Open Space: The definition
of open space provides that there are to be no "structures
or buildings ofany nature whatsoever. " It is unclear whe-
ther planters, sidewalks, permanent sprinkling systems and
similar improvements are included within the definition of
"structures,. '
4. Section III (3) , Developer: it is recommended
that the words "pursuant to the Renton Ordinance" be added
to the existing definition of "developer. ". As now stated a
i � I
developer could be anyone who has developed a planned unit
development. under any ordinance whether that ordinance was
promulgated' by Renton or otherwise. 1
5. Section III (5) , Industrial Development: It
is suggested that the word "office" be stricken from the
definition of industrial development as an office develop-
ment is more appropriately defined under subsection (10) ,
II
-2-
I I
I .
Commercial Development. In the alternative, the last line 11
,
of subsection (5) could be deleted in its entirety and th
following be inserted in lieu thereof:
"But it is not limited to warehouse,
manufacturing and related office uses. "
6. Section III (6) , Land Owner: It is uncertain
as to whether a lessee is considered to be a "landowner"
I '
under the present definition set forth in Subsection (6) . 1'
I I,
7. Section III (8) , Planned Unit Development: It
I �
is suggested that the last line of this Subsection (8) be
deleted and, the following be inserted in lieu thereof:
. . a subdivision of such land, which
development may occur at one time or in
phases. "
It is believed that the amended language will not clearly
set forth the ability of a developer to submit a .parcel of it
1
to; the Ordinance where improvements to that
property P prop-
erty will not be constructed simultaneously.
8;. 1 Section IV(2) , Reviewing Agencies: It is
recommended that other agencies such as the Renton traffic
1
and hydraulics departments, planning and similar agencies be
II
added to thejlist of "reviewing agencies" set forth in
Subsection (2) . It may be helpful to also set forth the
guidelines to be used by the reviewing agencies.

9,. ' Section V, Compliance with Purpose of Ordinance:
I
t is recommended that Section V be deleted in its entirety.
t is believed that the requirement that a developer carry
the burden of "demonstrating that a development shall achieve
public benefit as a result of any deviation from underlining
1 .
zoning regulations through creation of open space or public
facilities, conservation, or provision of services or needed i
.11
facilities Or otherwise" is much too heavy for the ordinary 1
developer tb !bear. This is true especially in light of the
I
lack of any legal criteria by which the demonstration of
public benefit can be shown to have been carried.
Further,
it allows an :individual citizen to bring an action in the '
event that such citizen believes that the developer has n t 1'
in fact achieved a "public benefit. " It would appear that
the public interest is adequately safeguarded by the norm 1 .
hearing and comment process (including any environmental
reviews attendant to a planned unit development) without
I
gLving to each member' of the public an independent and ij
gyp'
individual right to commence suit to adjudicate the require-
ment of "public benefit. " 1'
10.11 Section VII, Where Permitted: The require it
-
;
ment that a residential planned unit development be allowed
only withinlor contiguous to a "single family residence 11
I
-4-

I
zone" is understandable. However, it is unclear as to
hether this Section would prohibit the obtaining of a
residential planned unit development in conjunction with .
other uses under the definition of a multiple planned unit
1
developznent.I This concern is very real to Don Koll Company
I
and Port Quendall, as well- as to other developers, because I
III
of the definition of 'residential development as set forth in 1
Section II419) . It:should be noted that a residential 1
development„ rather than being limited to single family
residences, Includes "any planned unit development designed •
and intended primarily for residential use regardless of the 1
type of building in which such residence is located. " A ,i
high rise aplartment or a condominium development in con- p
I
junction withha •commercial PUD pursuant to the multiple PUD '
I
usage could be effectively prohibited under Section VII. It
is suggested that. a more definitive restriction be included
in said Section VII. For example, it could be stated that ',
only a residential planned unit development shall be allowed
within or contiguous to a single family residence zone where '
1
the residentIiial usage is the "primary" use under the pla ned 1
unit development. In the alternative, it could be state d
I
that except for a multiple planned unit development, a jj
1
,
residential planned .unit development would be allowed only
1

within' or contiguous to a ' single family residence zone. 1 ,
• ' 11. Section VIII'(1) , 'Undeveloped Land: It is
I Li
recommended hat. the exclusion of "land under water" in 11'''
11
determining. the four acres for an undeveloped parcel ' of
property be deleted. Land -under water must be included

12. Section VIII,(2) Developed Land:_ Again, it is l�lil
1
ecommended' that the exclusion of "land under water" be ,l 1,11

I

1
for planned unit developments. It is uncertain as to whe her .. I
the Subsections on undeveloped land or 'developed land are to•
II
be read together so as to require a minimum of five acres ,
1 .
11
• (one of 'whi;ch is to be undeveloped land and four' of which 'must

lines of subsection (2) should 'be amended to read as follows: ;1

13 Section IX (1) (a) ,. Subdivision Requirements:
It is recommended that the first sentence be amended to read ;1
as follows: 1
"A developer making application for a
planned unit development shall abide by the
special permit procedures..which include,
but are not limited to, the conduct of
public hearings and recommendations by the
planning commission and approval by the city
council as set forth herein. "
14. Section X(2) (a) , Open Space: A definition
should be provided for the word "substandard floor area. "
1
t present, the formula for determining "net developable
area" includes a factor of "1500 of substandard floor areail
to be demolished or removed as part of the proposed project. "
Nowhere is a definition of what constitutes "substandard
floor area"; found in the proposed Ordinance.
15. Section IX (2) (b) , Residential Open Space: It
11
is recommended that the first four lines of subsection (b)
be rewrittenito remove an ambiguity found therein. It is
I
suggested that those: lines be amended to read as follows: :I
1 1'
par "Usable open space in addition to
king and storage space shall be pro- 111
vided for each dwelling unit in a planned I',
unit development, the primary purpose of
which planned unit development is residen-

II
il
t is recommended that consistency in numbering of the .
Ordinance be obtained to reduce any ambiguity or misinter-
retation. Further, the formula set forth in subsection (3)
again references"substandard floor area. " A definition
should be provided for the words "substandard floor area. "
17. Section IX (4) (a) , Water: It is noted that j,
ny planned unit development which includes "any shorelin- II
of natural lakes, rivers, and other waterways shall be
governed by the requirements of Section 9-1107 of the City
Code entitled 'Residential Subdivision of First Class
horelines. " A readingof Section

in the alternative, this Subsection should be specifically III

evelopment . Section .9-1107 of the residential subdivi ion . III11

. 18. Section IX(5) (a) , Installation: It is ur•ed
' that this Subsection be completed deleted and rewritten . s .
Id
follows: .
J
' I . "a. Installation. With respect to Illil
ech phase of a planned unit development,
a11 d with respect. to the .entire project if
that project is not developed in phases, ',
ail common open space shall be landscaped II,
ink J
accordance with. the landscaping plans I'I
submitted by the applicant and approved by 1'I
the City Council. Prior to the issuance of
anbuildingpermit, the developer shall
Y P
furnish a performance bond in an amount
equal to a maximum of 150%. of ��the cost of
• both the installation of the approved land-
sclaping• and' maintenance of such landscaping I
fi three ' (3) years after its 11'I
inor a period ofstallation. The installation of said
' landscaping shall be commenced and accom-
pllished pursuant to the planned unit
development approved by the City Council. "
asically, two changes are accomplished by the above ame d-
fi
ment. First specifically it is s ecificall indicated that the inst- ll-
1 I
a'I'
ation of landscaping 'can be accomplished in phases if th- III
construction of the -improvements pursuant to the planned i'
-9- 1
• I
/ y I
I
tl
ill
unit development are undertaken in phases. As presently
written, subsection (5) (a) makes it unclear as to whether
landscaping of portions of a project is to be allowed as
construction is commenced under each phase or whether land-
scaping must be accomplished with respect to the entire
property which is the subject of the planned unit develop-
ment.
IV
Also, a ceiling of 150% of the cost of installing the
approved landscaping and the maintenance of such landscaping
1,1
is included in the proposed modification. As presently
written, the Subsection imposes an open ended obligation
upon the developer to furnish a performance bond of unspeci-
fied magnitude. All that is known under the present wording
is that any bond must be in a minimum face amount of 150% of I„
the installation costs with respect to the approved land-
scaping.
19.1 Section IX (6) , Deferred Improvements: It is
recommended that this Subsection be rewritten or deleted in
its entirety. As it now reads, a final plan cannot be
submitted for approval by the planning commission or the
City Council until "all improvements are constructed in a
satisfactory manner and approved by the appropriate depart-
ments. " InInet effect, this Subsection puts the developer,
and all improvements, financing, leasing and occupancy of
I 1
-10-
I
' ql
the subject property under the constraint of a failure to
receive City Council approval after, in some instances,
11
millions of dollars and substantial periods of time have
been expendeld in the development of the project. The
requirement that the City Council may review the project
subsequent .to the completion of construction and deny fin 1 II
91'
approval of a planned unit development is substantially j
impractical from the developer' s standpoint. A more rears-
. tic approach to this problem would be to have final City
Council approval at -a much earlier stage after full and
complete review of the planned unit development by the
appropriate ;departments and after public hearings had been
conducted. . A major drawback to this Subsection. (6). .is..-th 't 11
it obviates the intended purpose of a planned unit develop-
ment, i.e. , ithe encouragement of the development of large hl
blocs of property in ' a manner which will obtain the most
I
beneficial1u1se of such land. In brief, a planned unit
development is nothing regu-
lation than a form of land use re u-
lation which Modifies underlying zoning and platting
requirements. Questions of whether buildings have been
properly constructed should not be the function of the City
Council and lare more adequatelydisposed of pursuant to tihe
, 1 P
normal building permit procedures.

unit .develop ent rather than the proposed streets to be
c nstructed within'. the planned unit development. Further, ,
t e developer may not have any information concerning the
" roposed streets in those areas adjacent to his propert
11
21. . Section X(7) (b) , Large Planned Unit Develop-
m nts: This Subsection concerns itself with the ability of
a develo er to submit a "master plan" for a large planned
111
u it development. It is found in a section which P P
ur ort-dl
Y
I
concerns 'itelf only with the expiration of approved pre-
liminar lans.. It . is suggested that master plans are
Y P g g
exceedingly important to many developers and warrant more
extensive treatment than is provided in the Ordinance. I
1
is suggested that this subject be set forth in a separate
S-ction which Section might provide substantially as folio s: 1
1. Purpose. For a large planned 'I
unit development, the developer may ,''
request the city to adopt a master plan III,
for the development of the entire planned ii''
unit development (the 'Master Plan' ) . The
Master Plan shall set forth in written II
narrative form the proposed uses and
development standards in the development
of the project including densities, common ,

11
II
openspace, landscaped areas, assigning, III
p ie p ap r s, ,
parking, phasing, ownership and restric- 1
tions, together with the following:
1 .
A. Vicinity map in accordance with
I,
Section X(2) (a) . I '
B. A site map or maps drawn to I
scale of not less than one inch represent-
I
ing 50 feet showing the following: 4''
11
1. Name and dimensions of
existing streets bounding or touchingII
the boundaries of the development.
2. Existing buildings and
other improvements, including identifi-
cation of types.
2. Written Narrative Statement.
t tement. A
wriltten narrative statement shall be
required of the developer and shall provide
the following information:
I A. The program for anticipated
development, including the proposed uses III
and staging or timing of the development.
B. Provisions to assure permanence
and maintenance of public or common open
spalce through an owners ' association, II
merlchants', association, condominium
development, or other means acceptable to
the city.
C. Statementor ta

porated in the planned unit development.
. I
Il
II
D. Statement describing the rela-
tionship of the proposed planned unit
development to the city' s comprehensive 1
plan. j
3. Review and Approval of Master
Plan. The Master Pl
an shall be submitted

-
, 1
I
i y i
to the planning commission and reviewed
and approved as set forth in Section X (2) ,
(3)', (4) , and (5) , as the same may apply11,
to the narrative statement and maps required
above. Upon such approval, the Master
Plan shall be submitted to the City
Council for adoption as an ordinance with
respect to the property which is to be
developed pursuant to the Master Plan.
Upon approval as an ordinance, the
devieloper may make application for neces-
sary permits for the development of the
planned unit development.
1
4. Effect of Master Plan. Upon
approval, of the Master Plan by the City
Council, said Master Plan shall consti-
tute the development standards for the
plainned unit development and the phasing
thereunder, if any.
5. General. The planning commis-
sion may establish a time limit for the
Master Plan which, upon proper applica-
tion may be extended for good reason.
Once the City Council has approved the
Master Plan submitted in accordance with
this section, the developer must within
a period of- two (2) years commence the 1
first phase of the development. For the
Master Plan to remain valid, the developer H
shall complete each phase within the time
periods contained in the Master Plan
previously approved by the City Council. "
i
22.1 Section X(8) (c) , Occupation of Structures:
It is recommended that this Subsection be rewritten to11,
specifically provide that the completion of the buildings
within one phase and/or the receipt of a certificate of
occupancy with respect to the buildings within a planned
i

23. Section Xi, Final Review: It is suggesteill

that this section be rewritten to indicate that upon pre-' J,11

ent. Further, the review procedures required in the
,preliminary stages and the building stages can be adequately
provided for in the building permit application stage and at
the time the certificate of occupancy is granted by the
City. It is believed that the city will have sufficient
sanctions throughout the entirety of the preliminary approval '�11
and construction phases to insure absolute compliance with
the planned unit development ordinance and building codes .

Renton City Council
Special Meeting - 5/20/76 - Page 3
PUBLIC HEARING (Continued)
ORIGINAL MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED. Councilwoman Seymour inquired
about the listed uses under B-1 on Pages 7 and 8 and why greenhouses,
motels and hotels, and lodges serving alcoholic beverages were not
included. Ass't. City Attorney Warren replied they apparently were
not included in B-1 zone unless we could construe they were a similar
use. Some discussion ensued about allowing for a changing society
and should allow for all uses in the proper place. Ass' t. City
Attorney Warren suggested expanding the language to include a defini- i
tion to commercial "which shall include, but not be limited to".
MOVED BY SEYMOUR, SECONDED BY CLYMER, THE DEFINITION OF THE B-1 ZONE
AND PHRASING CONCERNING ALLOWABLE USES BE REFERRED TO THE PLANNING
DEPARTMENT FOR RECOMMENDATION AND REPORT BACK TO COUNCIL. MOTION
CARRIED. Discussion followed regarding Item (19) covering undertaking
establishments and crematories, with need for special permit from the
Planning Commission. MOVED BY SEYMOUR, SECONDED BY STREDICKE, THE
REQUIREMENT FOR SPECIAL PERMIT BE DELETED FROM ITEM (19) , ALL WORDS
AFTER "CREMATORIES" BE STRICKEN. MOTION CARRIED. Councilwoman Seymour
inquired about Section VI, Item C. , regarding height limit of 95 feet;
the buildings in B-1 adjacent to single families, if you have removed
reference to stories in the other sections, this is not consistent.
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY McBETH, TO CHANGE THE FOURTH LINE OF
ITEM (C) TO "SHALL BE LIMITED TO 35 FEET IN HEIGHT, NOT EXCEEDING 25
ADDITIONAL FEET BY SPECIAL PERMIT AFTER PUBLIC HEARING AND EXAMINATION
OF THE LOCATION" . MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY
CLYMER, Section 4-715, SUBSECTION (A) , CHANGE THE CORE AREA TO READ
"BOUNDED BY THE CENTER LINES OF SMITHERS AVE. S. FROM SOUTH 4TH PLACE
TO S. 3RD AVENUE AND LOGAN AVE. S. FROM S. 3RD ST. TO THE CEDAR RIVER,
BOUNDED ON THE NORTH BY CEDAR RIVER, EAST TO MILL AVE. S. , SOUTH TO
S. 4TH AND WEST TO SMITHERS AVE. S. " WHICH TAKES IT BEYOND THE CENTER
LINE OF THAT STREET. Extension over to the river allows for expansion
for the same core area. Councilwoman Seymour said she thought boundary
of Cedar River too far north and core area could always be extended
later. MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY McBETH, SECONDED BY CLYMER, COUNCIL
ADOPT SECTION VI WITH THE COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS AS AMENDED.
MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY McBETH, SECONDED BY CLYMER, COUNCIL ADOPT
SECTION VII AS AMENDED. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Stredicke remarked
that it seemed to him that movie theatres should all be in separate I
zones and further thought there should be a restriction within the
general downtown area, not the core area, on pornographic movies and
that type thing. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY SEYMOUR, THAT THE
MATTER OF MOVIE THEATRES AND RESTRICTIONS BE REFERRED TO THE PLANNING
AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. Councilman McBeth said this matter was
already in the Public Safety Committee, however, the problem is three
different things, probably all constitutional , but it may be difficult
to put into a zoning ordinance. STREDICKE CHANGED HIS MOTION TO ADD
A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE TO THE ORDINANCE SO THAT IF ANY ONE SECTION IS
CHALLENGED AS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, THAT IT WON'T AFFECT THE REST OF THE
ORDINANCE, SECONDED BY SEYMOUR. MOTION CARRIED. ORIGINAL MOTION AS
AMENDED CARRIED.*MOVED BY CLYMER, SECONDED BY McBETH, THAT THE ORDI-
NANCE AND AMENDMENTS BE REFERRED TO THE LEGISLATION COMMITTEE FOR A
PROPER ORDINANCE IN FINAL FORM AND BRING BACK TO COUNCIL AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE. Councilwoman Seymour said there was still too many incon-
sistencies in the ordinance, the matter of special permits has not
been settled, too many points have not been settled. Moved by Stredicke,
to amend the motion to refer the question of special permits also to
the Legislation Committee. Amendment died for lack of second.*MOTION
CARRIED. Councilman Clymer advised Councilwoman Seymour to consult
with the City Attorney so he can advise the committee, also, any
Councilman can propose modifications or changes to the document.
MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY SEYMOUR, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
MOTION CARRIED. MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY CLYMER, THAT THE
MATTER OF REFERRAL AND PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVAL ON SPECIAL PERMITS
BE REFERRED TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW' AND
REPORT BACK. MOTION CARRIED. Councilman Stredicke said the Council
will postpone the Hearing on the P.U.D. ordinance until the zoning
ordinance is approved.
Adjournment MOVED BY STREDICKE, SECONDED BY McBETH TO ADJOURN. MOTION CARRIED.

tioned. Mayor Delaurenti invited audience comment on Section I.

hibiting parking was too much, 20 feet or 25 feet, if it is screened,

restriction on churches, most churches having steeples or bell towers,
and some provision should be made for them. He also took exception to
the wording in the existing ordinance, 4(a) and (b) , grammatically incorrect
