OFFICE OF THE LAND USE HEARING EXAMINER
CITY OF RENTON
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO THE RENTON CITY COUNCIL.
APPLICANT: Arjan Bhatia FILE NO. R-214-78
LOCATION: On Aberdeen Avenue N.E. between Sunset Boulevard N.E. and
N.E. 12th Street in the vicinity of 951 and 957 Aberdeen
Avenue N.E.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Applicant requests approval of a rezone from R-1 to R-4 to
permit future development of the site for multiple family
housing.
SUMMARY OF Planning Department: Approval to R-3 with restrictive
RECOMMENDATION: covenants.
Hearing Examiner: Approval to R-3 with conditions.
PLANNING DEPARTMENT The Planning Department staff report was received by the
REPORT: Examiner on August 30, 1978.
PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Planning Department report, examining
available information on file with the application, and
field checking the property and surrounding area, the
Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as
follows:
The hearing was opened on September 5, 1978 at 9:55 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the
Renton Municipal Building.
Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner.
It was reported that the Hearing Examiner and the applicant had received and reviewed
the Planning Department report, and the report was entered into the record as Exhibit #1.
Michael Smith, Planning Department, reviewed Exhibit #1, and entered the following
additional exhibits into the record:
Exhibit #2: King County Assessor's Map
Exhibit #3: King County Assessor's Map including
designated structures
Exhibit #4: Conceptual Plot Plan
Mr. Smith corrected the existing zoning category of the property denoted on Exhibit #1
from R-1 to G-7200. He read departmental comments attached to Exhibit #1 into the record
and advised that all comments should be added to the Planning Department recommendation.
The Examiner called a recess at 10:15 a.m. The meeting was reconvened at 10:40 a.m.
The Examiner asked the applicant if he concurred in Exhibit #1. Responding was:
Arjan Bhatia
8506 S. 125th
Renton, WA 98055
Mr. Bhatia indicated his nonconcurrence in the report, and stated that although the
Planning Department report reflected accurate facts, he objected to departmental
recommendations for a less intense zoning category. He submitted a document outlining
points of disagreement with the report which was labeled by the Examiner as follows:
Exhibit #5: Applicant's comments regarding staff report
Referring to the Planning Department recommendation to rezone the property to R-3 in lieu
of the requested R-4 category, Mr. Bhatia emphasized that R-4 zoning is designated on the
Comprehensive Plan for the subject property. He advised that the basis for the zoning
request was predicated not only upon the allowable density but other considerations such
as location of the existing sewer and height limits in development. Mr. Bhatia stated
his opinion that details of development should be reviewed during the building permit
application process and not at the time of rezone consideration. Referencing Section 0.3
R-214-78 Page Two
of Exhibit #1, Mr. Bhatia objected to consideration of the Puget. Power easement located
west of the site in review as being irrelevant to the zoning request. , He reviewed
location of existing R-4 zoning in surrounding areas to illustrate compatibility of the
request to adjacent properties, and noted the existence of steep slope which will
accommodate high density multifamily development. He reported his opinion that property
values of surrounding property will increase concurrently with increased value of the
subject site under R-4 zoning.
Mr. Bhatia preferred establishment of a minimum front yard setback from Aberdeen Avenue
N.E. according to building code requirements, and cited problems of development' resulting
from the location of existing sewer lines and slope of the property. He objected. to
recommended' 10-foot side yard setbacks due to the narrow configuration of the property
and felt the proposed 50-foot rear yard setback was unnecessary due to the existence of
a 60-foot Puget Power right-of-way and additional unuseable open space located on the
western portion of the property. Mr. Bhatia objected to recommendations for landscape
strips denoted in Section P.2 of Exhibit #1 and supported requirements of the building ,
code, noting increased requirements would impose severe. design limitations and hardship
upon development due to the narrow configuration of the property. Responding to
recommendations for retention of vegetation, he indicated his intent to retain all
existing fruit trees on the site, but questioned the authority of the Planning
Department in establishing the requirement during rezone processes. Mr. Bhatia submitted
a topographical graph to illustrate steep slope of the property, and the graph was labeled
Exhibit #6 by the Examiner. He indicated development capabilities of the existing slope
were in accordance with height allowances for multifamily residential structures in the
R-4 zone in constructing two stories below and three stories above ground level. He
reiterated previous statements regarding consistency of the request with the Comprehensive
Plan and objection to imposition of setback and landscaping requirements during review
of the rezone application.
The Examiner requested testimony in support of the application. There was no response.
He then requested testimony in opposition to the request. Responding was:
James Burch
957 Aberdeen Avenue N.E.
Renton, WA 98055
Mr. Burch, property owner to the north of the subject site, indicated that he was
testifying neither in support not opposition to the request. He favored the requested
R-4 zoning and felt that rezone to R-3 would create piecemeal zoning in the area and
contribute to deterioration of the value of his property. He advised that existing
elevation on the subject site produces flooding and increased storm water runoff onto
his property and requested certain provisions during development to mitigate the existing
problem. He also clarified the width of the subject property as 62.5 feet,,,not 65.5 feet
as noted on Exhibit #2. The Examiner advised that Ordinance No. 3174, Storm Water
Drainage Ordinance, provides protection for storm water runoff, and the matter should be
considered .separately from the rezone application.
The Examiner requested further testimony in opposition to the request. Responding was:
Donald Jarvis
951 Aberdeen Avenue N.E.
Renton, WA 98055
Mr. Jarvis concurred in testimony previously entered by Mr. Burch in support of R-4
zoning to prevent the occurrence of piecemeal zoning in the area. He also reported
incidences of storm water runoff onto his property from Sunset Boulevard N.E. and
Aberdeen Avenue N.E. The Examiner reiterated previous comments related to provisions
of Ordinance No. 3174, noting requirements for on-site retention and control of surface
water runoff. for all developments during separate review. Mr. .Jarvis inquired if
fencing would be required in development. The Examiner advised flexibility='of the
Planning Department recommendation in allowing the option for either fencing or
landscaping.
The Examiner requested further testimony in opposition to the request. Responding was:
Maxine Motor
950 Sunset Boulevard N.E.
Renton, WA 98055
Mrs. Motor was affirmed by the Examiner. She indicated her preference for maximum R-3
zoning on the subject property, noting that building heights allowed in R-4 zoning
category would obstruct the view of Lake Washington from her home located east of the
subject site. The Examiner advised that Mrs. Motor is employed by- the City of Renton,
he had not previously discussed the subject application with her, 'and the association
R-214-78 Page Three
would not influence his recommendation on the matter.
The Examiner requested further, comments in support or opposition to the request. There
was no response. He then asked Mr. Smith for additional comments. Mr. Smith entered
a map designating topography of the site for the purpose of clarification of the existing
slope. The map was labeled as follows by the Examiner:
Exhibit #7: King County Assessor's Map with topography
Mr. Smith designated slope percentages' on the site which increase from 10 to 25 percent
from. an eastern: to western .direction on' the,.property, and noted an, existing break, located
' approximately in the center of the site. Responding to previous comments regarding .
piecemeal zoning, Mr. Smith noted that a slow transition period had occurred. He reviewed
history of previous zoning to R-4 in 1966 and subsequent rezone of certain parcels to R-3
in 1967, the latest occurrence of rezoning in, the area. He explained the role of the
Comprehensive Plan in providing a general guide for land use designation, and advised
that although the current zoning designation of the property was R-4, other• considerations
such as surrounding single family residential uses, existing slope and character of the
site had determined the Planning Department recommendation for a less intensive zoning
category. Mr. Smith reviewed maximum density of 25 units allowed in an R-3 zone and
height limits of 40 feet adjacent to developed single family residential areas. He stated
that utilization of underground parking would allow a minimum of two stories above ground
level with certain flexibility allowed for increased levels depending upon the building
design of the structure. He noted that, to maintain consistency with current development
practices and considering adjacent and surrounding properties, certain buffering and
landscaping should be required and established during rezone review to achieve amenity
standards and goals. He advised that requirements of R-4 zoning do not provide for
such landscaping, and based upon environmental impact and other site characteristics,
the recommendations were reasonable to mitigate impacts upon adjacent properties and
upon site development, such as increased storm water runoff and noise factors resulting
from removal of; existing vegetation. ' Mr. Smith stressed' that the'_proposed landscape
• buffer will reduce such impacts and increase value of the constructed units on the site.
Responding 'to the applicant's concern regarding provision of a 10-foot landscape buffer
on the north and south sides Of the property, Mr. Smith indicated an amendment to reduce
the requirement' to 9 feet adjacent to the parking area to allow. right-angle parking.
He ,also noted the departmental recommendation for 42-foot overall width excluding the
building overhang of the units which can be accomplished with proper design.
Mr. Bhatia' stated that adjacent property 'owners supported zoning to R-4 designation, and
inquired whether Mr. Smith strongly opposed R-4 zoning. Mr. Smith indicated that the
staff report clearly recommends R-3 zoning and opposed R-4 zoning if applied throughout
the site. He stated that methods of development of the property relative, to setbacks, '
landscaping, buffering, retention of natural characteristics and density controls would
alleviate .certain concerns, but he questioned the appropriate timing for R-4 development
which would allow a maximum of 43 units on the site. He realized that property owners
to the north and south supported the R-4 zoning but indicated that other residents in
the area should, be considered. Mr. Smith reiterated his objection to R-4 zoning if
consideration for site development did not occur. '
Mr. Bhatia advised 'his opinion that obstruction of view would be negligible from any
direction, and requested R-4 zoning with the stipulation that environmental factors
such as setback's and buffers could be reviewed during the building permit process with
submittal of plans subject for review. .
• The Examiner requested information regarding density allowances for both zoning
designations for wood-frame construction in view of natural constraints of the property.
Mr. Smith estimated the gross allowable density of 43 'two to three bedroom units per acre
in an R-4 zone,: or 38 to 40 units considering natural constraints of the property.
He noted that a: reasonable allowable density for R-3 zoning would be approximately •25
units per acre., Mr. Smith advised that considerations such as natural slope, narrow
configuration of the site, and surrounding uses would determine maximum density. He
stressed that the Comprehensive Plan is a general guide supported by other goals and
objectives to determine the recommendation for R-3 zoning. He also advised that height
limitations would be reflected by the building code.
The Examiner inquired if conditions attached to a rezone to R-4 designation would also
apply to a rezone to R-3. Mr. Smith indicated ,that such conditions would be :similar ._
with the additional possibility' of site plan review by the Hearing Examiner in considering . .
view, design of; the structures and other site development criteria. The Examiner inquired ,
if city staff maintained. flexibility in environmental review to. reduce density and increase
building setbacks and buffers during normal building permit review. Mr. Smith reported
that certain authority exists within the environmental ordinance to allow the responsible
•
•
, R-214-78 Page Four
. official to issue a conditional negative declaration of impact. He noted that under the
building permit process the responsible official is the Public Works Director, but during
rezone review, the Planning Director is the responsible official. He advised that
although the Public Works Director would be the responsible official if review occurred
through the building permit process, the Planning Department would have the option to
submit recommendations and comments.
The Examiner requested a final recommendation from Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith amended the
width of the landscape buffer adjacent to the parking area to 9 feet, and added that if
rezone to R-4 were approved by the Examiner, a requirement for site plan approval through
Hearing Examiner review be stipulated to assure proper mitigation of all developmental
concerns. The Examiner inquired if a similar requirement would-be stipulated if R-3 ' '
zoning were approved. Mr. Smith indicated that rezone to R-3 would not necessitate
further public hearing.
The Examiner requested further comments. Since there were none, the hearing on File No.
.R-214-78 was closed by the Examiner at 11:35 a.m.
•
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the
Examiner now makes and enters the following:
FINDINGS:
1. The request is for reclassification of 0.85 acres from R-1 to R-4. .
2. The Planning Department report accurately sets forth the issues, applicable policies
and provisions, findings of fact, and departmental recommendations in this matter,
and is hereby attached as Exhibit #1, and incorporated in this report by reference
as set forth in full therein. '
3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the,State Environmental .
Policy Act of 1971, as amended by R.C.W. 43.21.C. , a Declaration of Non-Significance
has been issued for the subject proposal by Gordon Y. Ericksen, responsible official.
4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the
impact of this development and their comments are included in Exhibit #1.
5. All existing utilities are available and in close proximity.
6. The Comprehensive Plan indicates the property to potentially be High Density Multiple
Family (Section 4-3014. (B) ) .
7. Testimony was not provided regarding the date of the last area land use or zoning
analysis involving the property (Section 4-3014. (A) ) . However, in July of 1965,
the current goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan were adopted. Since
that time, a building permit was issued for construction of condominium units south
of the property on a narrow site zoned R-3 (rezoned in 1967) . The existing R-4
zoned property north of the subject property remains undeveloped, but some grading
activity has occurred within the past few weeks. Northeast of the subject property
is an existing multifamily development in an R-3 zone (Section 4-3014. (C) ) .
8. The westerly approximate one-half of the property has developmental problems created
by an average topography of 25 percent (Exhibit #7) and severe slope on the westerly
approximate 50 feet (Exhibit #6) . Significant vegetation exists on the site,
particularly on the westerly 50 feet.
9. Single family residences, zoned R-1, exist on the north and 'south borders of the
property and directly east across Aberdeen Avenue N.E.' • Two individual residences
exist 'on the southerly abutting property. ' •
10. Along the westerly property line lies the Puget Sound Power and Light Company
transmission line right-of-way.
CONCLUSIONS: •
1. A reclassification to R-4 conforms to;the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map (Section
4-3014. (B) ) . In addition to the Map the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive'
Plan must also be considered in making a land use decision. Furthermore, the '
Comprehensive Plan is a "general design" for these decisions, not a ,"blueprint."
(Section 1.II.1, Ordinance No. 2142 and Section 2.P.2. , Comprehensive Plan, Renton
• Urban Area, July, 1965) . Analysis Of the goals and objectives indicates R-3 to be •
the more appropriate zoning for: the property under existing'circumstances.
R-214-78 Page Five
The predominant land use pattern in the neighborhood is clearly single family
residential, although some non-conforming situations exist of two homes on single
lots. One apartment building exists and another is under construction. The zoning
pattern is approximately equally divided between single family (R-1) and multiple
family (R-3 and R-4) , with some commercial (B-1) . High Density Multiple Family
(R-4) is planned for the area on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. This indicates
that the neighborhood is undergoing transition from single family residential to
multiple family residential (at least R-3.) which appears to be the "coordinated
development" anticipated in the Comprehensive Plan (page 9, Summary, Comprehensive
Plan, Renton Urban Area, July, 1965) .
Existing single family residences in the neighborhood are generally adequately
maintained with a few exceptions. Any reclassification should consider this
character in interpreting the transition occurring in the neighborhood in order
to prevent "premature decay," "unwarranted infiltration," and disorderly "growth"
(Ibid and page 17, Objective No. 1, Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Report, July,
1965) . Property values should be protected (Ibid, Objective No. 4) and the "best
interest of the community. . ." should be protected (Ibid, page 18, Objective No. 6) .
R-3 zoning permits less intensive development than, R-4 zoning and therefore would
be more compatible with the existing single family residences (either individually
or in a non-conforming "duplex" situation) on three sides of the subject property.
In the R-4 zone a building height of six stories or 95 feet is allowed while in
R-3, buildings are limited to 40 feet in height adjacent to single family residences.
A maximum density of 30 units per acre is allowed in R-3, but depending upon the
type of units, a density range of from 43 (two bedroom) to 72 units per acre is
permitted in R-4. Open space of 55% is required in R-4, and 65% specified in R-3.
A five to seven-foot side yard setback is prescribed in R-3 and five to ten feet
required in R-4. The front yard setback in R-4 is ten feet, while it is 20 feet in
R-3. A reclassification of the subject property to R-3 or R-4 would impact the
abutting R-1 properties, and construction per those zoning requirements would have
immediate effect upon the R-1 properties. Clearly, the R-3 zone would have less
impact while at the same time implementing the Comprehensive Plan (Section 4-3014. (B) ) .
Under normal circumstances the traditional land use principle of graduated land
uses and zoning would apply (the single family zone would not directly abut R-3,
but a transition zone of R-2: would be placed between the two zones) . Another
technique that can accomplish similar transition or buffering is utilization of
sufficient landscaping and/or topographical separation in the interface between the
two zones to accomplish Objectives No. 1, 4 and 6, pages 17 and 18, Comprehensive
Plan, Renton Urban Area, July, 1965. Since the subject property is only 62.5 feet
wide the latter alternative appears very difficult to utilize without reducing the
property to an unuseable residual.
2. The property owners on the northern and southern abutting properties favored the
rezone to R-4. Concern was not expressed regarding transition or buffering between
their properties and the subject site. During the hearing, sufficient discussion
of the potential development under R-3 and R-4 occurred that all parties were
aware of the relative impact- of the zoning categories. The property owner east of
the site was concerned about the possible height of R-4 development.
3. Due to the transitional character of the neighborhood of gradual, but already
committed, change from single family residential to multifamily, it appears
appropriate that the rezone to R-3 not be postponed or denied due to the lack of
necessary transition between the two zones. Adjacent property owners were agreeable
to the interface of the two zones and the attendant impacts. Development on the
property may through design be able to mitigate the impacts. However, since the
design appears to be significant in reducing the impacts of R-3 zoning, the Examiner
should review the site plan and building height to ensure satisfactory mitigation
of the impacts. This would accomplish Objectives No. 1, 4 and 6, pages 17 and 18,
Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Report, July, 1965.
4. In order to provide a buffer between the subject property and single family
development easterly across Aberdeen Avenue N.E. the 20-foot front yard setback
should be landscaped in such a way as to form an effective sight screen. Along
the northerly and southerly property lines at least a ten-foot setback for
buildings should occur with landscaping consisting of an effective sight screen
to buffer the adjacent residences. (Objectives No. 1 and 4, page 17, Comprehensive
Plan, Land Use Report, July, 1965) .
R-214-78 Page Six
5. Topography and soil conditions (paragraph E.2, Exhibit #1) and the applicant's
testimony of the difficulty of development on the westerly 50 feet of the property
would indicate that the substantial trees in that area should be retained. While
the vegetation is a "natural amenity" (page 11, Residential, Comprehensive Plan,
Land Use Report, July, 1965) it may serve a more important purpose of stabilizing
• the soils.and surface water run-off in that area of the site. The applicant
indicated that development would initially occur on the eastern portion of the
site (Exhibit #4) and the remainder of the property developed at a later date.
At such time as development of the westerly portion of the property is proposed,
the westerly 50 feet should be evaluated with more specific environmental data .
to determine if that area should still be preserved.
. 6. The narrow 62.5-foot width of the property presents great difficulty for designing
multifamily development that mitigates the impacts imposed upon the adjacent single
family development. Most desirable would be the addition of other property(s) to
. provide desirable flexibility of site planning, landscaping, setbacks and parking.
..Due to these' circumstances', any development on the property will, because of the
burden of mitigating these impacts, be less intense. than what would be;permitted • '
if the adjacent..;properties were similarly zoned. To 'this extent the timing of
the rezone becomes an issue; however, as discussed in Conclusion. No. 1, the trend
of the neighborhood zoning appears to be multifamily, and corresponding development
seems to be occurring or beginning on the vacant multifamily zoned properties.
It seems appropriate, therefore, for the Examiner to have the flexibility to deviate
from conditions attached td the rezone. The conditions are in response to existing
zoning and land uses surrounding the subject site. If the zoning and land uses
change prior to or during the Examiner's review of a development proposal, the
conditions should be re-evaluated accordingly by the Examiner in terms of their
validity of application to the site.
RECOMMENDATION:
Based upon the record, testimony, findings and conclusions, it is the Examiner's
recommendation that the City Council reclassify the property to R-3 subject to the
following conditions: '
1. Final approval by the Examiner,upon completion of a public hearing of the site plan
and building height.
2. The 20-foot front yard setback along Aberdeen Avenue N.E. be utilized exclusively •
for a landscape buffer sufficient to constitute an effective sight screen.
3. A side yard setback for buildings of 10 feet along the northerly and southerly
property lines, which shall be used for a landscape buffer sufficient to constitute
an effective sight screen. .
4. Preservation of existing vegetation in the westerly 50 feet of the property until
the Examiner's review of development of the westerly portion of the site.'
5. The Examiner in review of the specific development proposal for any portion of the
property shall consider the zoning of existing adjacent properties at the time of
this review and shall have the flexibility to deviate from the aforementioned
conditions.

J. IMPACT ON THE NATURAL SYSTEMS:
•
Rezoning of the subject site will not have a direct impact on the natural'
systems. However, subsequent site development will disturb soil and
vegetation, increase storm water runoff, and have an effect on traffic
and noise levels in the area. However, through proper development Con-
trols ,and procedures , these impacts can be mitigated.
K. SOCIAL 'IMPACTS:
Development of 'the subject sit will result in a small population increase
and provide opprotunities for increased social interaction among the area
residents.
L. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD DETERMINATION: •
Pursuant. to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and .the State
Environmental Policy Act of 1971, as amended, RCW 43-21C, a declaration
of non-significance has been issued for the subject rezone. This neg-
ative ;declaration is based upon provision of suitable development pro-
cedures and standards should the request be approved.

O. PLANNI'NG DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1 . The proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan map
element which designates the site and surrounding areas as potential
high density multiple family. However, existing single family resi-
dential uses and zoning are located both south and north of the sub-
ject site. Other apartment .developments are being constructed in the
area ( i .e. , approximately 200 feet south of the site, site clearing
has occurred on R-4 zoned property north, of the site) .
2. Although the area may be in transition from single family residence
to multiple family, this transition has been historically quite slow'
in this area. Certain measures to protect surrounding single family
residence users should be provided as conditions of any rezone and
site development. Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Report, 1965, p. 17,
objective 4, states that "property values should be protected within
the community for the benefit of its residents and property owners,
• through effective control of land use and enforcement and applica-
tion of building and construction codes. Objective 6 also encour-
ages "the development and utilization of land to its highest and

best use in such a way as to promote the best interest of the com-
munity and contribute to its overall attractiveness and desirability
as a place in which to work, shop, live, and play. "
3. Although some existing R-4 zoning is located north of the site, a
more, recent rezone to R-3 was approved in 1967 on a parcel approxi-
mately 200 feet south of the subject site. A similar density devel-
opment (18 dwelling ,units) to that which is proposed for the subject
site is being constructed on this R-3 property. In fact, if the sub-
ject site was rezoned to R-3, a gross density of approximately 25
dwelling units is permitted. However, it is questionable whether
even this many units can be constructed on the site given the exist-
ing narrow width of the site, steep topography, and Puget Power'
powerline easement which present development limitations particu-
larly in the westerly portion of the site.
4. The subject site contains certain significant trees especially in
the westerly portion. These should be retained as much as possible
as part of site development. A negative declaration of environmental
impact has been issued subject to this provision as a mitigating
measure of development impacts. The Comprehensive Plan land use
report, 1965, p. 11, states that "residentail development may be
successfully planned to take good advantage of the amenities which
such locations often provide. Natural features such as rock out-
croppings, streams, stands of native trees, and views often avail -
able from these locations should be used to greatest advantage. "
5. Items 1 through 4 establish the need for rezone to an R-3 zone in
lieu of R-4 zoning, and conditions which protect adjacent single
family uses and the existing character of the site. Such conditions
could include preservation of significant trees and vegetation, pro-
visions of setbacks and landscape buffers suitable to protect adja-
cent properties, provisions of detailed site development and land-
scape plans.
6. The applicant has prepared a conceptual site development plan.
Such plan is quite sketchy and will need refinement to conform to
ordinance standards and any conditions established with the rezone.
Site plans are generally not considered necessary as part of a
rezone application and review process. The staff recommendation,
therefore, has not specifically considered such site plans.
7. Suitable utilities and access are available to the subject site.
However, development of the property will require certain utility
extensions and/or upgrading of existing facilities. (See Utilities
Division report for further comments. )
8. Also see attached Fire Department and Engineering Division comments
regarding Fire Code, access, and storm drainage requirements as ,
part of specific site development.
P. PLANNING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
Approved rezone to R-3 based on the above analysis subject to the follow-
ing conditions to be established as restrictive covenants, which together
will serve to mitigate environmental impacts of property and fulfill ob-
jectives of the Comprehensive Plan as mentioned in items 1 through. 5
above.
1. Setbacks -- Minimum 30-foot setback shall be provided along Aberdeen
Avenue N.E. A minimum 10-foot .setback shall be provided along the I
north and south property lines. A minimum 50-foot setback shall be
provided along the west property line.
2. Landscaping A minimum 20-foot landscape strip shall be provided I
along Aberdeen Avenue N.E. A minimum 10-foot landscape 'strip suit-
able for screening purposes shall be provided along the north and
south property lines. A minimum 50-foot natural buffer shall bey
preserved and maintained along the west property line. A detailed

Description of proposal Applicant requests rezone from R-1, Single Family
Residence District, to R-4, Residential Multiple Family.
Proponent Arjan Bhatia
On Aberdeen Ave. N.E. between Sunset Blvd. N.E. and .
Location of Proposal N.E. 12th in the vicinity of 951 and 957 Averdeen Ave. N.E.
Lead Agency . Renton Planning Department
This proposal, has been determined to ❑ have ❑ not have a
significant adverse impact upon the environment . An EIS ❑ is
® is not required under RCW 43 . 21C . 030 (2 ) (c ) . This decision was
made after review by the lead agency of a completed environmental
checklist and other information on file with the lead agency .
Reasons for declaration of environmental/significance :
The declaration of non-significance is for the rezone request only and does
not apply to any specific development plan. The proposed request is in
accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. However, suitable landscape/buffer
and preservation of significant trees as part of site development shall be
required to' mitigate potential impacts of such development.
Measures , if any , that could be taken to prevent or mitigate the
environmental impacts to such an extent that the lead agency would
withdraw its declaration of significance and issue a (proposed/final )
declaration of non-significance : .
Should the request be approved, at the time of development the applicant will
be required to comply with the requirements of the Zoning Code, and suitable
development standards and landscaping will be necessary as mitigating measures.

best use in such a way as to promote the best interest of the com-
munity and contribute to its overall attractiveness and desirability
as a place in which to work, shop, live, and play. "
3. Although some existing R-4 zoning is located north of the site, a •
more. recent rezone to R-3 was approved in 1967 on a parcel approxi -
mately 200 feet south of the subject site. A similar density devel -
• oprient (18 dwelling units) to that which is. proposed for the subject
site is being constructed on this R-3 property. In fact, if .the sub •
-
ject site was rezoned to R-3, a gross density of ap'proximately' 25
dwelling units is permitted. However, it is questionable whether
even this many units can be constructed on the site given the exist-
ing narrow width of the site, steep topography, and Puget Power
powerline easement which present development limitations particu-
larly in, the westerly portion of the site.
•
4. The subject Site contains' 'certain , significant trees especially in
the westerly portion. These should be retained as much as possible
aspart of site development. ' A negative declaration of environmental
impact has been issued subject to this provision as a mitigating
measure of development impacts. The Comprehensive Plan land use
report, 1965, p. 11', states• that "residentail development may be
successfully planned to take good advantage of the amenities which
such locations often provide. Natural features such as rock out-
croppings, streams, stands of native trees, and views often avail -
able from these locations should be used to greatest advantage. "
' 5. Items 1 through 4 establish the need for rezone to an R-3 zone in
lieu of R-4 zoning; and conditions which protect adjacent single
family uses and. the' existing character of the site. Such conditions
could include preservation of significant trees' and vegetation, pro-
vijsions of setbacks and landscape buffers Suitable to protect adja-
cent properties, provisions of detailed site development and land-
sclape .plans.
6. The applicant has prepared a conceptual site development plan.
Such plan is quite sketchy and will need refinement to conform to
ordinance standards and any conditions established with the rezone.
Silte plans are generally not considered necessary as part of a
rezone application• and review process. The staff recommendation ,
therefore, has not specifically considered such site plans.
•
7.. Suitable utilities and access are available to the subject site.
However, development of the property will require certain utility
extensions. and/or upgrading of- existing facilities. (See Utilities
Division report for further comments. )
I '
8. Also see attached Fire Department and Engineering Division comments
regarding Fire Code, access, and storm drainage requirements as
part of specific site development.
P. PLANNI1,NG DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION: •
Approved rezone to R-3 based on the above analysis subject to the follow-
ing conditions 'to be established as restrictive covenants, which together
will serve' to mitigate environmental impacts of property and' fulfill ob •
-
jectives of the Comprehensive Plan as mentioned in items . 1 through 5
above:
1. Setbacks -- Minimum 30-foot setback shall be provided .along Aberdeen
Avenue N.E. A minimum 10-foot setback shall be provided along the
north and south property lines. A minimum 50-foot setback shall be
provided along the west property line. •
2. Landscaping -- A minimum 20-foot landscape strip shall be provided
. along Aberdeen 'Avenue N.E.. A 'minimum 10-foot landscape .strip suit-
able for screening purposes shall be provided along. the north and
•sciut'h property lines. A minimum 50-foot natural buffer shall he
preserved and maintained along the west property line. A .detailed

J. IMPACT ON THE NATURAL SYSTEMS: •
•
Rezoning of the subject site will not have a direct impact on the natural
systems . .However, subsequent site development will disturb soil and
vegetation, increase storm water runoff, and have an effect on traffic
and noise levels in the area. However, through proper development con-
trols and procedures , these impacts can be mitigated.

Development of the subject sit will result in a small population increase
and provide opprotunities for increased social interaction among the area
• residents.
L. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT/THRESHOLD DETERMINATION:
Pursuant to the City of Renton' s Environmental Ordinance and the 'State
Environmental Policy Act of .1971, as amended, RCW 43-21C, a declaration

0. PLANNING DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
1 . The proposed rezone is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan map
element which designates the site and surrounding areas as potential
high density multiple family. However, existing single family resi •
-
dential uses and zoning are located both south and north of the sub-
ject site. Other apartment developments are being constructed in the
area ( i .e. , approximately 200 feet south of the site, site clearing
has occurred on R-4 zoned property north of the site) .
2. Although the area may be in transition from single family residence
to mUltiple..family, this transition has been historically'quite slow
in this area. Certain measures to protect surrounding single family
residence users should be provided as conditions of any rezone and
site development. Comprehensive Plan, Land Use Report, 1965, p. 17,
objective 4, states that "property values should be protected within
the community for the benefit of its residents and property owners,
through effective control of land use and enforcement and applica-
tion of building and construction codes. Objective 6 also encour-
ages "the development and utilization of land to its highest and

COMMENTS ON PLANNING DEPARTMENT'S RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendation by Planning Discussion Applicant's Recommendation
P.0 Approve re-zone to R-3 1. The R-4 request is not based on simply the no. Re-zone to R-4 as requested.
(Rather than R-4) of units- the principle argument used by
Planning in their R-3 recommendation. The
parking underneath + sewer considerations
(based on building design considerations) will
necessitate the height restrictions more
consistent with R-4 zoning. Actual units to be
built will obviously depend upon economics and
other practical considerations; and should not
be pre-limited by Planning to R-3; especially
when the comprehensive plan calls for R-4
zoning for the property.
2. There is no Puget Power easement on the
property (Report Section 0.3) . This right of
way is behind (west) of the property & is
separate (not included in 37,200 sq ft) . This
should have no effect on the zoning request.
3. Most of the re-zoned properties ( 3 out of 4)
on Aberdeen Ave NE have R-4 zone, consistent
with the comprehensive plan. Lot 11 is "more"
similar to R-4 zoned lots (# 13,14,15) than
with R-3 zoned lot (#8) . Steeper slope makes
the property amenable to R-4 zoning.
4. Property values of adjacent lots will go up if
P.1 SET BACK RESTRICTIONS R-4 zoning per compreh. lan is allowed.
30' setback from Aberdeen No major objection. However, this is consider- Minimum setback conforming
ed un-necessary. Slope of property provides to building code is adequate
natural buffer from the street. Depending
upon sewer, lesser setback may become necessary
from design point of view.

Gentlemen:
Enclosed is my application for re-zoning- of a site, approximately
37,000 sq ft, to R-4 classification. This request is in conformance .
with the current city's comprehensive zoning plan.
At. prepent, I contemplate constructing an 18 unit apartment/condo
building on the site. A concept for the layout of the building, is
shown in the plot plan. This layout may be modified, if for some .
reason it violates the current city code for R-4 zoning.
The re-zoning of the property, and construction of the building
• will help alleviate the current "in-city" housing shortage.
Thank you.
Sincerely
Arjan Bhatia

Introduction The State Environmental Policy Act of 1971, Chapter 43.21C, RCW, requires
all state and local governmental agencies to consider environmental values both for their
own actions and when licensing private proposals. The Act also requires that an EIS be
prepared for all major actions significantly affecting the quality of the environment.
The purpose of this checklist is to help the agencies involved determine whether or not a
proposal is such a major action.
Please answer the following questions as completely as you can with the information
presently available to you. Where explanations of your answers are required, or where
you believe an explanation would be helpful to government decision makers , include your
explanation in the space provided, or use additional pages if necessary. You should
include references to any reports or studies of which you are aware and which are rele-
vant to the answers you provide. Complete answers to these questions now will help all
agencies involved with your proposal to undertake the required environmental review with-
out unnecessary delay.
The following questions apply to your total proposal , not just to the license for which
you are currently applying or the proposal for which approval is sought. Your answers
should include the impacts which will be caused by your proposal when it is completed,
even though completion may not occur until sometime in the future. This will allow all
of the agencies which will be involved to complete their environmental review now, with-
out duplicating paperwork in the future.
NOTE: This is a standard form being used by all state and local agencies in the State
of Washington for various types of proposals. Many of the questions may not apply to
your proposal . If a question does not apply, just answer it "no" and continue on to the
next question.

SUMMARY •
RE-ZONE TO R-4 WITHOUT ANY RESTRICTIONS, EXCEPT THOSE ALREADY IMPOSED BY THE BUILDING
CODE. THIS PROPERTY IS SIMILAR TO THOSE ALREADY ZONED R-4 IN THE VICINITY; AND THESE
, R-4 'ZONED PROPERTIES HAVE NO SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS .
BECAUSE OF STEEPER SLOPE OF. THE PROPERTY, THERE IS A NATURAL BUFFER FROM THE ROAD.
THEREFORE THE SPECIAL LANDSCAPING RESTRICTIONS ARE NOT NECESSARY.
TO ENABLE FLEXIBILITY IN DESIGN OF THE BUILDING REQUIRED BECAUSE OF NARROW WIDTH OF
LOT AND BECAUSE OF THE SEWER SITUATION, AND TO MAKE THE ZONING CONSISTENT WITH THAT
IN THE _COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, R-4 ZONING SHOULD . BE ALLOWED.
