FN1 - Updated: May 2000 1 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 a AUTO MALL IMPROVEMENT PLAN The City of Renton has an opportunity to be a pro-active partner with auto dealers and property owners to create a high-profile and successful concentration of auto dealerships in the City. Concept: Renton auto dealers approached the City several years ago and promoted the idea of creating a destination district to sell cars, trucks and motorcycles. The City Council responded by directing staff to work with property owners and area auto dealers on this issue. A task force was formed to put together a plan of action to redevelop an area into a finished Auto Mall. The concept of the Auto Mall emerged as a destination retail district that draws auto-related regional sales as well as more dealerships to Renton. This project, in part, created the initiative to bring the Good Chevrolet, Sound Mazda and Pierre dealerships into the area. The more recent Saturn and Honda dealerships support the Auto Mall concept and strengthen this area as a center for auto-oriented retail activity. The Auto Mall Improvement Plan (Plan) can act as a promotional tool for the City. Area: The Task Force identified Area A-between Lind Ave. S., SW Grady Way, Rainier Ave. S and I-405 for an Auto Mall because it has good freeway access and visibility and because it is characterized by older development which has redevelopment potential. This area is well located in comparison to existing dealerships in the downtown. However, the plat pattern in r- the area is fragmented into many small lots that are difficult to assemble for conversion to commercial use. • The initial Auto Mall designation also included an Area B. Area B is the district to the north bounded by SW Grady Way, Lind Ave SW, the railroad rights-of-way, and Shattuck Ave S. Area B consists mostly of commercial development including auto dealerships with limited redevelopment potential. Both Area A and Area B are described in the zoning code (Section 4- 31-10.4) as a potential Auto Mall. Since the adoption of that code (February 1995), the City narrowed the scope of the Plan to include only Area A because much of the land in Area B is already assembled and commercial uses are established on it. The Plan only addresses Area A at this time. However, the Plan could be expanded and tailored to Area B after Area A is established. In June 1995 both an Area A and Area B were adopted by ordinance pertaining to the CA Zone in Section 4-31-10.4, Exceptions. Area B was as described above. In January 1999 the boundaries of both Area A and Area B were expanded considerably as described in Section 4- 3-040B, Auto Mall Improvement District Regulations. In May 2000 minor adjustments were made to both Area A and Area B. auto mall improvement plan-2 1- rev.5/15/00 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 Benefits: Creation of an Automall in Renton is expected to: Increase auto sales and therefore increase the sales tax base for the City, Improve and increase values of existing underdeveloped properties, Create predictable, cohesive, and uniform development standards to make development easier to accomplish, Provide convenience comparison shopping and activities supporting auto sales, and Provide a distinct shopping area with good freeway access. Policy Support: The Renton Comprehensive Plan supports the Auto Mall Improvement Plan. The following policies encourage Renton to creatively promote retail activity in ways that increase sales tax base and encourage redevelopment of the existing Commercial Arterial (CA) Zone. Economic Development: S ED-A. Use public resources efficiently to leverage economic development. ED-B. Expand the retail and office base within the City. ED-8. Increase the retail sales tax base of the City. ED-12. Create a tool box of incentives for example, retail overlay zone, tax increment financing, marketing, etc. to encourage retail development. Land Use: LU-AA. Provide for commercial and residential uses requiring large amounts of land and/or high visibility and access to large volumes of automobile traffic in areas outside of Centers and the Center Downtown designations. LU-169. Individual parcels should be encouraged to consolidate to maximize flexibility of site design and reduce access points. LU-176. Increased demand for commercial uses should be accommodated through redevelopment and intensification of Employment Area - Commercial designations rather than expansion of those areas. S auto mall improvement plan-2 2- rev.5/15/00 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 a Downtown: DT-20. Automobile sales and service uses which require large amounts of land should be encouraged to locate in an "auto mall" outside of the downtown or to consolidate their sites and provide multi-storied facilities. How It Works: This Plan guides and promotes retail activity in the Auto Mall area. It should be used as a development guide whenever the City proposes improvements or reviews private proposals for the area. Compliance with the Plan will assure projects coordinate and contribute to the completion of the Auto Mall. The Auto Mall area is expected to redevelop as depicted on the Map. Major dealerships will be operating, the street configuration and standards will be completed, street vacations will be executed as needed to assembly property, and perimeter landscaping will be installed. By using this Plan, a property owner could find opportunities to assembly more property, and take advantage of adjacent rights-of-ways to gain more usable land. Developers could also predict design standards for streets, and perimeter landscaping. Zoning: The Plan is implemented as a subcategory (Section 4-31-10.4F) within the Commercial Arterial (CA) Zone. When a project is proposed for development in the Auto Mall, the Code determines the permitted uses and development standards. The Plan is referred to as a guide to assure that proposals fit within the overall Auto Mall vision. Components: The Auto Mall Improvement Plan includes three components. 1) Map - The map (Exhibit A) illustrates both existing conditions and shows how the Auto Mall area might develop in the future. It depicts the standard for future perimeter landscaping, allowed rights-of-ways vacations, final street configuration and circulation. The map also locates possible signage, gateway, and banners, and pedestrian connections. 2) Model - The model is a 3-dimensional representation of the Map. The model will be on display in the City of Renton's Development Services Division. 3) Narrative - The narrative includes descriptions of the Auto Mall location, and the intent of the City in establishing the Auto Mall. It includes an objective and description for each of the Plan elements with actions necessary to implement the Plan. Goal: To create an Auto Mall area which redevelops into a cohesive and distinct area for the sale of vehicles and other auto-related uses located between Seneca Ave SW and Rainier Ave S and between SW Grady Way and I-405, and between Seneca Ave SW and Raymond Ave SW between SW Grady Way and the alley mid-block between SW Grady and SW 12th Street. a a auto mall improvement plan-2 3- rev.5/15/00 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 Elements: 1. Incentive for Redevelopment Objective: Encourage the redevelopment and assembly of smaller parcels to make larger land areas available for Auto Mall uses. Discussion: Parcel assembly is a pre-requisite of redevelopment in the designated area because the land area is fragmented into many small parcels and ownerships. Historically, this condition discouraged private efforts to assemble land. The City cannot anticipate accurately how and which properties will assemble, but it can offer financial incentives to encourage private efforts. In March 1995, the City Council created a process to waive street vacation costs for car dealerships or other specified uses as defined in the zoning code. The Plan identifies which City rights-of-ways are eligible for fee waiver vacations and establishes guidelines for administrative processes. The rights-of-way vacation program will create two major benefits: 1) make more land available in a reconfigured plat pattern, and 2) reduce the overall cost of property acquisition. The City anticipates that revenue generated from car sales will increase as a result of this Plan. S Action: Designate by ordinance which rights-of-way are eligible for future street vacations within the Auto Mall. These vacations would also be eligible for waiver of fees. Establish a process for administrative approval of vacation petitions of these designated rights- of ways. This administrative process would be an exception to the typical city-wide policy and would not require public hearings and City Council action on individual vacation petitions which conform to the Auto Mall Improvement Plan. The public hearing and City Council action on these vacations will occur when the ordinance designating eligible rights-of-ways is approved. The rights-of-way that can be vacated according to this process are generally: 1)All of SW 13th Street; 2) Maple Ave SW from SW Grady Way to SW 12th St. - 12 feet on each side; 3) All of Maple Ave SW from the alley between SW 13th and SW 12th St. to SW 13th St.; 4) SW 12th St. west of the east turn circle - 12 feet on each side; 5) All of SW 12th St. from the east turn circle to Rainier Ave S.; 6) SW 12th St between Lind Ave SW and Seneca Ave SW— 12 feet on each side; 7) SW 13th St. between Lind Ave SW and Seneca Ave SW — 12 feet on each side; and8) all alleys within the Auto Mall area. Administrative Procedure for Rights-of-Way Vacations A. Property Services completes a master appraisal for Auto Mall Area A. B. Property Services processes all private and City initiated applications (all fees waived) for vacations. C. City staff review applications to insure that the proposal conforms to the adopted plan, and that access to individual properties is maintained and does not impede street configuration and public safety. Comments are given to Property Services. auto mall improvement plan-2 4- rev.5/15/00 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 r D. Property Services provides an appraisal reconciliation for each application, transfer of title, and final report with recommendations. The applicant will provide legal description and map exhibits for City review. The City Clerk provides requisite notice to adjacent property owners and interested parties. E. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator reviews and approves final report. a F. Transfer of Property Ordinance Adopted by City Council. 2. Transitions from Existing Uses Objective: Assure access, continued use and provision of services for all properties a.. within the designated area during the transition to the Auto Mall. Discussion: The intent of the Plan is that redevelopment will occur in phases. In all cases, the City will assure access to individual properties and businesses during the transition period. For example, if Sound Mazda is developed (Exhibit A), its main access will be through SW 12th Street. The street east of the proposed turn circle will not be vacated because other residential and commercial uses also need the access to their property. In addition, the proposed improvements to that section of SW 12th Street will be delayed until properties are assembled so that access to the eastern end is not needed. The City will support using partial and/or half street vacations to maintain access to existing uses during the transition period. The attached Plan illustrates the existing conditions, and the final rights-of-way and street configurations. Access is planned so that auto circulation can be coordinated and so that property owners can anticipate and plan for development. Action: Maintain City services to existing uses in the Auto Mall. Use Site Plan and SEPA review processes to insure that health and safety standards are maintained and that access is provided to existing uses. 3. Street Circulation Objective: Improve SW 12th St. and Maple Ave. SW streets to modify the rights-of-way width and length, provide turn circles, general customer parking area and consolidate access drives. Discussion: The Plan Map depicts the fmal configuration of streets in the Auto Mall. This includes streets, rights-of-way and roadway widths, sidewalks, turn circles radii, and a general customer parking area. Perimeter and internal traffic flow, traffic signals and lane channels are coordinated so that the circulation of cars is smooth and does not worsen conditions at major intersections. This design is intended to provide easy access from SW Grady Way and Lind Ave SW into the Auto Mall area. Once in the area the streets are reduceda in width to provide land area that can be vacated. A second purpose of the reduced street width is to slow traffic. The turn circles are designed to allow people to easily maneuver either to return to another dealership or exit the area. An example of this concept is shown in Exhibit A and B. Turn circle dimensions fit within the existing rights-of-way and can be negotiated by a auto mall improvement plan-2 5- rev.5/15/00 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 fire trucks. If necessary, there is the potential for the City to develop an additional street connection from the eastern turn circle out to SW Grady Way. The Plan includes a western turn circle with an island and monument sign to accommodate advertising. Adjacent to this circle is r.. a parking area for customers who may want convenient access to several dealers so they can comparison shop without parking again. The Plan depicts the alignment and dimensions of these streets. In all cases finished streets will have minimum widths of 24 feet from curb to curb and sidewalks have 5 feet from inside of curb. Both turn circles will have 30 foot circle radii. Land for sidewalks around the circles will be assured from the remainder of the rights-of-way and/or private property necessary to accomplish the design. This street configuration is coordinated with the potential rights-of-way vacations. If a street improvement project designated on the Plan abuts a private property line, private property owners will be responsible for those improvements. The City will not require standard street improvements within the designated Auto Mall area which are not shown on the Plan. Action: Improve SW 12th Street and Maple Ave SW with a turn circle, sidewalks, street lighting, customer parking, and traffic signals in the public Right-of-Way. Opportunities for join access to parking areas should be addressed through Site Plan Review. Improvements could be made by property owners, City capital improvements projects, and local improvement districts or a combination of the three. 4. Pedestrian Connections Objective: Encourage a pedestrian walkway system that connects throughout the Auto Mall. Discussion: A clear and designated walkway encourages people to walk and comparison shop. Individual development can make pedestrian connections directly from one property to the next and connect parking areas to dealerships. The specific alignment will depend on how each site development is proposed. A sidewalk located along both sides of SW 12th Ave. allows people to move from their car to different dealerships. Action: Work with the developers, as development proposals are submitted, to incorporate walkway connections within each site and connect adjacent buildings. Implementation of this element will occur through the Site Plan Review process. 5. Perimeter Landscaping Objective: Encourage perimeter landscaping to match the landscaping on the north side of SW Grady Way with a 15 foot wide, 30 inch high grass berm and Red Maples placed 25 feet on center. Discussion: Large-scaled and a consistent landscaping along the Auto Mall perimeter is needed to give the area a cohesive image, mirror adjacent landscaping and define the boundary auto mall improvement plan-2 6- rev.5/15/00 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 of the Auto Mall. Most of the perimeter landscaping is in the existing rights-of-way. A limited amount of dedicated private property would be needed to fulfill this objective. As with all development, the property owner is responsible for installation and maintenance. Flexible requirements are necessary to meet the intent of this element because the grade drops down from SW Grady Way into the Auto Mall area. For example, a bermed landscape, as prescribed, would be ineffective 6 feet below street grade. The City should work with the property owner to find reasonable alternatives to meet this element's objective without requiring excessive costs. Landscaping in the interior of the Auto Mall includes all area inside the Perimeter Landscaping. On-site Development Standards (Element 6) addresses landscaping in the Auto Mall interior. Action: Work with developers, as proposals are submitted, to incorporate perimeter landscaping as intended through the Site Plan Review process. 6. On-Site Development Standards Objective: Encourage flexible requirements that allow interior landscape areas to be consolidated to enhance building and site entries. Discussion: The perimeter landscaping described in Element 5 will provide a significant amenity at the boundary of the Auto Mall and can help unify the entire district. As a result, a more flexible standard can be used for interior landscaping within specific projects. The objective of interior landscaping should be to encourage higher quality treatment at project r and building entries. For example, a developer could consolidate a mass of plant materials at site entries and building fronts rather than scatter a larger amount of landscaping throughout the site in small planters. Consolidated landscaping would result in a more effective site plan without increasing the amount of required landscaping. The amount of landscaping required to qualify for this flexible treatment should be determined in the zoning code. Action: Work with the developers, as development proposals are submitted, to consolidate landscaping within each site to enhance the Auto Mall through the Site Plan Review process. 7. Gateway and Banners into the Auto Mall Objective: Promote and enhance a gateway at Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way and establish banners along the perimeter that call attention to the Auto Mall as a cohesive and attractive area. Discussion: City staff identified a potential gateway entrance to Renton and the Auto Mall at the intersection of Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way. Road improvements at Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way, which include traffic signals, will be installed as development in the Auto Mall occurs. A bridge structure could be used to accommodate traffic signals, Auto Mall signs, and other graphics. Innovative treatment of the signage at this location could turn a standard traffic signal into a gateway feature. The Auto Mall could be further identified and auto mall improvement plan-2 7- rev.5/15/00 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 S enhanced by placing banners mounted on light poles along SW Grady Way and other major arterials adjacent to the Auto Mall where dealerships exist. An example of this concept is shown in Exhibit C. Banners along the Auto Mall boundary would signal to the driver that they are entering a distinctive section of the city. Action: Seek contributions from adjacent dealerships, and funding from the City to design, manufacture and install signage, art, and graphics to a traffic signal bridge (without interference to signals) over the intersection at SW Grady Way and Maple Avenue S. Action: Seek contributions from adjacent dealerships and funding from the City to design, manufacture and install banners along the Auto Mall perimeter and other contiguous dealerships. 8. Location of Possible Signs Objective: Promote the Auto Mall as an attractive destination retail area by coordinating signs within and extending signs outside the Auto Mall. Discussion: Signs are important for business identification. This Plan envisions three types of signs for the Auto Mall: directional, Auto Mall identification, and dealer identification. An I-405 sign advertising a retail district is rare, however, such signs do exist for the Olympia Auto Mall and Bellevue Square. A similar sign may be possible for Renton. Signage at the gateway entry would be designed to create an entry to Renton and to identify the Auto Mall. Signage in the proposed turn circle would also provide directional information or advertising for individual dealers. Auto Mall businesses will provide their own individual identification. A signage program which coordinates number, height, and size of signs is needed to enhance the quality of Auto Mall developments. Action: Lobby the Washington State Department of Transportation for signs on I-405 WAN approaching the Rainier Ave. S/State Route 167 exits. Action: Encourage surrounding dealerships to contribute to the gateway(intersection of SW Grady Way and Maple Ave SW) and monument signs (intersection of Maple Ave SW and SW 12th Street). Action: Develop a signage plan in coordination with auto dealers.

Whether the provisions of Section 9-14-11 of Chapter 9, Public Works, of the Renton Municipal Code,that reference Area A and waive of all street vacation fees within it should also be updated to reflect these boundary changes as well. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommend that the Council adopt by resolution the updated Auto Mall Improvement Plan reflecting previous changes to the Auto Mall including its expanded boundaries and revisions to Section 9-14-11 of Chapter 9, Public Works, of the Renton Municipal Code, where it references Area A of the Auto Mall. BACKGROUND: The Auto Mall Improvement Plan was never updated to reflect these changes. Staff are also seeking to update it to reflect changes to the boundary made in 1999 and this year. Minor modifications to the boundaries of Area A and Area B between Seneca Ave SW and Raymond Ave SW were approved by the Council on May 15t, 2000. Section 9-14-11, Administrative Procedures for Right- of-way Vacations, of Chapter 9, Public Works, Renton Municipal Code, which references Area A also needs to be updated to reflect these latest boundary changes to it. CONCLUSION: The proposed changes to update the Auto Mall Improvement Plan, including Exhibit A, are timely and consistent with previous actions of the Council related to the Auto Mall. Likewise, the proposed changes to Section 9-14-11, that describe Area A of the Auto Mall, would be consistent with Council's previous actions regarding the boundaries of Area A and Area B. cc: Mayor Tanner City Council Jay Covington Sue Carlson Marilyn Petersen TS_SERVER\SYS2:\COMMON\-W:\EconomicDevelopment\STRATPLN\PLANNING\DE\Auto Mall\Council Issue Paper3.doc\d DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 of NNW PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE COMMITTEE REPORT May 15,2000 Amendments to Auto Mall Improvement Plan and Section 9-14-11 March 6,2000) That the Council adopt the proposed code amendments updating the 1996 Auto Mall Improvement Plan and Section 9-14-11, Administrative Procedures for Right-of-way Vacations, to reflect the latest changes to the boundaries of Area A,by resolution.

Plan Update Resolution.doc\ DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 AUTOMALL IMPROVEMENT PLAN The City of Renton has an opportunity to be a pro-active partner with auto dealers and property owners to create a high-profile and successful concentration of auto dealerships in the City. Concept: Renton auto dealers approached the City several years ago and promoted the idea of creating a destination district to see cars, trucks and motorcycles. The City Council responded by directing staff to work with property owners and area auto dealers on this issue. A task force was formed to put together a plan of action to redevelop an area into a finished Auto_mMall. The concept of the Auto_mMall emerged as a destination retail district that draws auto-related regional sales as well as more dealerships to Renton. This project, in part, created the initiative to bring the Good Chevrolet, Sound Mazda and Pierre dealerships into the area. The more recent Saturn and Honda dealerships support the Auto_mMall concept and strengthen this area as a center for auto-oriented retail activity. The Auto_mMall Improvement Plan (Plan) can act as a promotional tool for the City. Area: The Task Force identified Area A - between Lind Ave. S., SW Grady Way, Rainier Ave. S and I-405 for an Auto_mMall because it has good freeway access and visibility and because it I is characterized by older development which has redevelopment potential_ This area is well located in comparison to existing dealerships in the downtown. However, the plat pattern in the area is fragmented into many small lots which are difficult to assembly for conversion to commercial use. The initial Auto_mMall designation also included an Area B. Area B is the district to the north I bounded by SW Grady Way, Lind Ave SW, the railroad rights-of-way, and Shattuck Ave S. Area B consists mostly of commercial development including auto dealerships with limited redevelopment potentiaL Both Area A and Area B are described in the zoning code (Section 4- 31-10.4) as a potential Auto_mMall. Since the adoption of that code (February 1995), the City narrowed the scope of the Plan to include only Area A because must of the land in Area B is already assembled and commercial uses are established on it. The Plan only addresses Area A at this time. However, the Plan could be expanded and tailored to Area B after Area A is established. In June 1995 both an Area A and Area B were adopted by ordinance pertaining to the CA Zone in Section 4-31-10.4, Exceptions. Area B was as described above. In January 1999 the boundaries of both Area A and Area B were expanded considerably as described in Section 4-3- 040B, Auto Mall Improvement District Regulations. In May 2000 minor adjustments were made to both Area A and Area B. Benefits: Creation of an Automall in Renton is expected to: Increase auto sales and therefore increase the sales tax base for the City, DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 140 Improve and increase values of existing underdeveloped properties, Create predictable, cohesive, and uniform development standards to make development easier to accomplish, Provide convenience comparison shopping and activities supporting auto sales, and Provide a distinct shopping area with good freeway access. Provide convenience comparison shopping and activities supporting auto sales, and Provide a distinct shopping area with good freeway access. DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 Policy Support: The Renton Comprehensive Plan supports the Auto_mMall Improvement Plan. The following policies encourage Renton to creatively promote retail activity in ways that increase sales tax base and encourage redevelopment of the existing Commercial Arterial (CA) Zone. Economic Development: ED-A. Use public resources efficiently to leverage economic development. ED-B. Expand the retail and office base within the City. ED-8. Increase the retail sales tax base of the City. ED-12. Create a tool box of incentives for example, retail overlay zone, tax increment financing, marketing, etc. to encourage retail development. Land Use: LU-AA. Provide for commercial and residential uses requiring large amounts of land and/or high visibility and access to large volumes of automobile traffic in areas outside of Centers and the Center Downtown designations. LU-169. Individual parcels should be encouraged to consolidate to maximize flexibility of site design and reduce access points. LU-176. Increased demand for commercial uses should be accommodated through redevelopment and intensification of Employment Area - Commercial designations rather than expansion of those areas. Downtown: DT-20. Automobile sales and service uses which require large amounts of land should be encouraged to locate in an "auto_mall" outside of the downtown or to consolidate I their sites and provide multi-storied facilities. How It Works: This Plan guides and promotes retail activity in the Auto_mMall area. It should I be used as a development guide whenever the City proposes improvements or reviews private proposals for the area. Compliance with the Plan will assure projects coordinate and contribute to the completion of the Auto_mMall. The Auto_mMall area is expected to redevelop as I depicted on the Map. Major dealerships will be operating, the street configuration and standards will be completed, street vacations will be executed as needed to assembly property, and perimeter landscaping will be installed. By using this Plan, a property owner could find opportunities to assembly more property, and take advantage of adjacent rights-of-ways to gain more usable land. Developers could also predict design standards for streets, and perimeter landscaping. DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 Zoning: The Plan is implemented as a subcategory (Section 4-31-10.4F) within the Commercial Arterial (CA) Zone. When a project is proposed for development in the Auto mMall, the code determined the permitted uses and development standards. The Plan is referred to as a guide to assure that proposals fit within the overall Auto_mMall vision. DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 Components: The Auto_mMall Improvement Plan includes three components. 1) Map - The map (Exhibit A) illustrates both existing conditions and shows how the auto_mall area might develop in the future. It depicts the standard for future perimeter landscaping, allowed rights-of-ways vacations, final street configuration and circulation. The map also locates possible signage, gateway, and banners, and pedestrian connections. 2) Model - The model is a 3-dimensional representation of the Map. The model will be on display in the City of Renton's Development Services Division. 3) Narrative - The narrative includes descriptions of the ato_mMall location, and the intent of the City in establishing the Auto_mMall. It includes an objective and description for each of the Plan elements with actions necessary to implement the Plan. Goal: To create an Automall area which redevelops in a cohesive and distinct area for the sale of vehicles and other auto-related uses located between Lind-Seneca Ave SW and Rainier Ave S and Rbetween SW Grady Way and I-405, and between Seneca Ave SW and Raymond Ave SW between SW Grady Way and the alley mid-block between SW Grady and SW 12th Street. Elements: 1. Incentive for Redevelopment Objective: Encourage the redevelopment and assembly of smaller parcels to make larger land areas available for Auto_mMall uses. Discussion: Parcel assembly is a pre-requisite of redevelopment in the designated area because the land area is fragmented into many small parcels and ownerships. Historically, this condition discouraged private efforts to assembly land. The City cannot anticipate accurately how and which properties will assemble, but it can offer financial incentives to encourage private efforts. In March 1995, The City Council created a process to waive street vacation costs for car dealerships or other specified uses as defined in the zoning code. The Plan identifies which City rights-of-ways are eligible for fee waiver vacations and established guidelines for administrative processes. The rights-of-way vacation program will create two major benefits: 1) make more land available in a reconfigured plat pattern, and 2) reduce the overall cost of property acquisition. The City anticipates that revenue generated from car sales will increase as a result of this Plan. Action: Designate by ordinance which rights-of-way are eligible for future street vacations within the Auto_mMall. These vacations would also be eligible for waiver of fees. I Establish a process for administrative approval of vacation petitions of these designated rights-of ways. This administrative process would be an exception to the typical city-wide policy and would not require public hearings and city Council action on individual vacation petitions which conform to the Auto_mMall Improvement Plan. The public hearing and City Council action on these vacations will occur when the ordinance designating eligible rights-of-ways is approved. DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 Noe The rights-of-way that can be vacated according to this process are generally: 1) All of SW 13th Street; 2) Maple Ave SW from SW Grady Way to SW 12th St. - 12 feet on each side; 3) All of Maple Ave SW from the alley between SW 13th and SW 12th St. to SW 13th St.; 4) SW 12th St. west of the east turn circle - 12 feet on each side; 5) All of SW 12th St. from the east turn circle to Rainier Ave S.; 5) SW 12th St between Lind Ave SW and Seneca Ave SW — 12 feet on each side: 7) SW 13th St. between Lind Ave SW and Seneca Ave SW— 12 feet on each side; and-68) all alleys within the Auto_mMall area. Administrative Procedure for Rights-of-Way Vacations A. Property Services completes a master appraisal for the entire Auto mMall Area A. B. Property Services processes all private and City initiated applications (all fees waived) for vacations. C. City staff review applications to insure that the proposal conforms to the adopted plan, and that access to individual properties is maintained and does not impede street configuration and public safety. Comments are given to Property Services. D. Property Services provides an appraisal reconciliation for each application, transfer of title, and final report with recommendations. The applicant will provide legal description and map exhibits for City review. The City Clerk provides requisite notice to adjacent property owners and interested parties. E. Planning/building/Public Works Administrator reviews and approves final report. F. Transfer of Property Ordinance Adopted by City Council. 2. Transitions from Existing Uses Objective: Assure access, continued use and provision of services for all properties within the designated area during the transition to the Auto_mMall. Discussion: The intent of the Plan is that redevelopment will occur in phases. In all cases, the City will assure access to individual properties and businesses during the transition period. For example, if Sound Mazda is developed (Exhibit A), its main access will be through SW 12th Street. The street east of the proposed turn circle will not be vacated because other residential and commercial uses also need the access to their property. In addition, the proposed improvements to that section of SW 12th Street will be delayed until properties are assembled so that access to the eastern end is not needed. The City will support using partial and/or half street vacations to maintain access to existing uses during the transition period. The attached Plan illustrates the existing conditions, and the fmal rights-of-way and street configurations. Access is planned so that auto circulation can be coordinated and so that property owners can anticipate and plan for development. DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 Action: Maintain City services to existing uses in the Auto_mMalL Use Site Plan and I SEPA review processes to insure that health and safety standards are maintained and that access is provided to existing uses. 3. Street Circulation Objective: Improve SW 12th St_ and Maple Ave. SW streets to modify the rights-of-way width and length, provide turn circles, general customer parking area and consolidate access drives. Discussion: The Plan Map depicts the fmal configuration of streets in the Auto_mlvlall. I This includes streets, rights-of-way and roadway widths, sidewalks, turn circles radii, and a general customer parking area. Perimeter and internal traffic flow, traffic signals and lane channels are coordinated so that the circulation of cars is smooth and does not worsen conditions at major intersections. This design is intended to provide easy access from SW Grady Way and Lind Ave SW into the Auto_mMall area. Once in the area the streets are reduced in width to provide land area that can be vacated. A second purpose of the reduced street width is to slow traffic. The turn circles are designed to allow people to easily maneuver either to return to another dealership or exit the area. An example of this concept is shown in Exhibit A and B. Turn circle dimensions fit within the existing rights-of-way and can be negotiated by fire_trucks. If necessary, there is the potential for the City to develop an additional I street connection from the eastern turn circle out to SW Grady Way. The Plan includes a western turn circle with an island and monument sign to accommodate advertising. Adjacent to this circle is a parking area for customers who may want convenient access to several dealers so they can comparison shop without parking again. The Plan depicts the alignment and dimensions of these streets. In all cases finished streets will have minimum widths of 24 feet from curb to curb and sidewalks have 5 feet from inside of curb. Both turn circles will have 30 foot circle radii Land for sidewalks around the circles will be assured from the remainder of the rights-of-way and/or private property necessary to accomplish the design. This street configuration is coordinated with the potential rights-of-way vacations. If a street improvement project designated on the Plan abuts a private property line, private property owners will be responsible for those improvements. The City will not require standard street improvements within the designated Auto_rnMall area which are not shown on I the Plan. Action: Improve SW 12th Street and Maple Ave SW with a turn circle, sidewalks, street lighting, customer parking, and traffic signals in the public Right-of-Way. Opportunities for join access to parking areas should be addressed through Site Plan Review. Improvements could be made by property owners. City capital improvements projects and local improvement districts or a combination of the three. 4. Pedestrian Connections DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 Itiof le Objective: Encourage a pedestrian walkway system that connects throughout the Auto mMalL Discussion: A clear and designated walkway encourages people to walk and comparison shop. Individual development can make pedestrian connections directly from one property to the next and connect parking areas to dealerships. The specific alignment will depend on how each site development is proposed. A sidewalk located along both sides of SW 12th Ave. allows people to move from their car to different dealerships. DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 Action: Work with the developers, as development proposals are submitted, to incorporate walkway connections within each site and connect adjacent buildings. Implementation of this element will occur through the Site Plan Review process. 5. Perimeter Landscaping Objective: Encourage perimeter landscaping to match the landscaping on the north side of SW Grady Way with a 15 foot wide, 30 inch high grass berm and Red Maples placed 25 feet on center. Discussion: Large-scaled and a consistent landscaping along the Auto_mMall perimeter is needed to give the area a cohesive image, mirror adjacent landscaping and define the boundary of the Auto_mMalL Most of the perimeter landscaping is in the existing rights-of-way. A I limited amount of dedicated private property would be needed to fulfill this objective. As with all development, the property owner is responsible for installation and maintenance. Flexible requires are necessary to meet the intent of this element because the grade drops down from SW Grady Way into the Auto_mMall area. For example, a bermed landscape, as prescribed, would be ineffective 6 feet below street grade. The City should work with the property owner to find reasonable alternatives to meet this element's objective without requiring excessive costs. Landscaping in the interior of the Auto_mMall includes all area inside the Perimeter Landscaping. On-site Development Standards (Element 6) addresses landscaping in the Auto mMall interior. Action: Work with developers, as proposals are submitted, in incorporate perimeter landscaping as intended through the Site Plan Review process. 6. On-Site Development Standards Objective: Encourage flexible requirements that allow interior landscape areas to be consolidated to enhance building and site entries. Discussion: The perimeter landscaping described in Element 5 will provide a significant amenity at the boundary of the Auto_mMall and can help unify the entire district. As a result, a I more flexible standard can be used for interior landscaping within specific projects. The objective of interior landscaping should be to encourage higher quality treatment at project and building entries. For example, a developer could consolidate a mass of plant materials at site entries and building fronts rather than scatter a larger amount of landscaping throughout the site in small planters. Consolidated landscaping would result in a more effective site plan without increasing the amount of required landscaping. The amount of landscaping required to qualify for this flexible treatment should be determined in the zoning code. Action: Work with the developers, as development proposals are submitted, to consolidate landscaping within each site to enhance the Auto_mMall through the Site Plan I Review process. DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 7. Gateway and Banners into the Auto rnMall Objective: Promote and enhance a gateway at Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way and establish banners along the perimeter that call attention to the Auto_mMall as a cohesive and I attractive area. Discussion: City staff identified a potential gateway entrance to Renton and the Auto mMall at the intersection of Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way. Road improvements at Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way, which include traffic signals, will be installed as development in the Auto mMall occurs. A bridge structure could be used to accommodate traffic signals, Auto mMall signs, and other graphics. Innovative treatment of the signage at this location could turn a standard traffic signal into a gateway feature. The Auto_mMall could be further identified and enhanced by placing banners mounted on light poles along SW Grady Way and other major arterials adjacent to the Auto_mMall where dealerships exist. An example of this concept is shown in Exhibit C. Banners along the Auto_mMall boundary would signal to the driver that they are entering a distinctive section of the city. Action: Seek contributions from adjacent dealerships, and funding from the City to design, manufacture and install signage, art, and graphics to a traffic signal bridge (without interference to signals) over the intersection at SW Grady Way and Maple Avenue S. Action: Seek contributions from adjacent dealerships and funding from the City to design, manufacture and install banners along the Auto_mMall perimeter and other contiguous dealerships. 8. Location of Possible Signs Objective: Promote the Auto_mMall as an attractive destination retail area by coordinating signs within the extending signs outside the Auto_mMall Discussion: Signs are important for business identification. This Plan envisions three types of signs for the Auto_mMall: directional, Auto_mMall identification, and dealers identification. An I-405 sign advertising a retail district is rare, however, such signs do exist for the Olympia Auto_mMall and Bellevue Square. A similar sign may be possible for Renton. Signage at the gateway entry would be designed to create an entry to Renton and to identify the Auto_mMall. Signage in the proposed turn circle would also provide directional information or advertising for individual dealers. Auto_mMall businesses will provide their own individual identification. A signage program which coordinates number, height, and size of signs is needed to enhance the quality of Auto_mMall developments. Action: Lobby the Washington State Department of Transportation for signs on I-405 approaching the Rainier Ave. S/State Route 167 exits. DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 NOW Action: Encourage surrounding dealerships to contribute to the gateway(intersection of SW Grady Way and Maple Ave SW) and monument signs (intersection of Maple Ave SW and SW 12th Street). Action: Develop a signage plan in coordination with auto dealers. DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 Exhibit A fit +7,4. 4.

This project, in part, created the initiative to bring the Good Chevrolet, Sound Mazda and Pierre dealerships into the area. The more recent Saturn and Honda dealerships support the Automall concept and strengthen this area as a center for auto-oriented retail activity. The Automall Improvement Plan (Plan) can act as a promotional tool for the City. Area: The Task Force identified Area A - between Lind Ave S, SW Grady Way, Rainier Ave S and I-405 for an Automall because it has good freeway access and visibility and because it is characterized by older development which has redevelopment potential. This area is well located in comparison to existing dealerships in the downtown. However, the plat pattern in the area is fragmented into many small lots which are difficult to assemble for conversion to commercial use. The initial Automall designation also included an Area B. Area B is the district to the north bounded by SW Grady Way, Lind Ave SW, the railroad rights-of-way, and Shattuck Ave S. Area B consists mostly of commercial development including auto dealerships with limited redevelopment potential. Both Area A and Area B are described in the zoning code (Section 4-31-10.4) as a potential Automall. Since the adoption of that code (February 1995), the City narrowed the scope of the Plan to include only Area A because much of the land in Area B is already assembled and commercial uses are established on it. The Plan only addresses Area A at this time. However, the Plan could be expanded and tailored to Area B after Area A is established. Benefits: Creation of an Automall in Renton is expected to: Increase auto sales and therefore increase the sales tax base for the City, Improve and increase values of existing underdeveloped properties, Create predictable, cohesive, and uniform development standards to make development easier to accomplish, Provide convenient comparison shopping and activities supporting auto sales, and Provide a distinct shopping area with good freeway access. DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 Policy Support: The Renton Comprehensive Plan supports the Automall Improvement Plan. The following policies encourage Renton to creatively promote retail activity in ways that increase sales tax base and encourage redevelopment of the existing Commercial Arterial (CA) Zone. Economic Development: ED-A. Use public resources efficiently to leverage economic development. ED-B. Expand the retail and office base within the City. ED-8.

Land Use: LU-AA. Provide for commercial and residential uses requiring large amounts of land and/or high visibility and access to large volumes of automobile traffic in areas outside of Centers and the Center Downtown designations. LU-169. Individual parcels should be encouraged to consolidate to maximize flexibility of site design and reduce access points. LU-I 76. Increased demand for commercial uses should be accommodated through redevelopment and intensification of Employment Area - Commercial designations rather than expansion of those areas. Downtown: DT-20. automobile sales and service uses which require large amounts of land should be encouraged to locate in an "auto mall" outside of the downtown or to consolidate their sites and provide multi- storied facilities. How It Works: This Plan guides and promotes retail activity in the Automall area. It should be used as a development guide whenever the City proposes improvements or reviews private proposals for the area. Compliance with the Plan will assure projects coordinate and contribute to the completion of the Automall. The Automall area is expected to redevelop as depicted on the Map. Major dealerships will be operating, the street configuration and standards will be completed, street vacations will be executed as needed to assembly property, and perimeter landscaping will be installed. By using this Plan, a property owner could find opportunities to assembly more property, and take advantage of adjacent Rights-of-ways to gain more usable land. Developers could also predict design standards for streets, and perimeter landscaping. Zoning: The Plan is implemented as a subcategory (Section 4-31-10.4F) within the Commercial Arterial (CA) Zone.

The Plan is referred to as a guide to assure that proposals fit within the overall Automall vision. 2 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 011.9 Components: The Automall Improvement Plan includes three components. 1) Map - The map (Exhibit A) illustrates both existing conditions and shows how the Automall area might develop in the future. It depicts the standard for future perimeter landscaping, allowed rights-of-way vacations, final street configuration and circulation. The map also locates possible signage, gateway, and banners, and pedestrian connections. 2) Model - The model is a 3-dimensional representation of the Map. The model will be on display in the City of Renton's Development Services Division. 3) Narrative - The narrative includes descriptions of the Automall location, and the intent of the City in establishing the Automall. It includes an objective and description for each of the Plan elements with actions necessary to implement the Plan. Goal: To create an Automall area which redevelops into a cohesive and distinct area for the sale of vehicles and other auto-related uses located between Lind Ave SW and Rainier Ave S and between SW Grady Way and I-405. Elements: 1. Incentive for Redevelopment Objective: Encourage the redevelopment and assembly of smaller parcels to make larger land areas available for Automall uses. Discussion: Parcel assembly is a pre-requisite of redevelopment in the designated area because the land area is fragmented into many small parcels and ownerships. Historically, this condition discouraged private efforts to assemble land. The City cannot anticipate accurately how and which properties will assemble, but it can offer financial incentives to encourage private efforts. In March 1995, the City Council created a process to waive street vacation costs for car dealerships or other specified uses as defined in the zoning code. The Plan identifies which City rights-of-ways are eligible for fee waiver vacations and establishes guidelines for administrative processes. The rights-of-way vacation program will create two major benefits: 1) make more land available in a reconfigured plat pattern, and 2) reduce the overall cost of property acquisition. The City anticipates that revenue generated from car sales will increase as a result of this Plan. Action: Designate by ordinance which rights-of-way are eligible for future street vacations within the Automall. These vacations would also be eligible for waiver of fees. Establish a process for administrative approval of vacation petitions of these designated rights- of-way. This administrative process would be an exception to the typical city-wide policy and would not require public hearings and City Council action on individual vacation petitions which conform to the Automall Improvement Plan. The public hearing and City Council action on these vacations will occur when the ordinance designating eligible rights-of ways is approved. The rights-of-way that can be vacated according to this process are generally: 1) All of SW 13th Street; 2) Maple Ave SW from SW Grady Way to SW 12th St. - 12 feet on each side; 3) 3 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 All of Maple Ave SW from the alley between SW 13th and SW 12th St. to SW 13th St.; 4) SW 12th St. west of the east turn circle - 12 feet on each side; 5) All of SW 12th St. from the east turn circle to Rainier Ave S.; and 6)All alleys within the Automall area. Administrative Procedure for Rights-of-Way Vacations A. Property Services completes a master appraisal for the entire Automall. B. Property Services processes all private and City initiated applications (all fees waived) for vacations. C. City staff review applications to insure that the proposal conforms to the adopted plan, and that access to individual properties is maintained and does not impede street configuration and public safety. Comments are given to Property Services. D. Property Services provides an appraisal reconciliation for each application, transfer of title, and final report with recommendations.

Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator reviews and approves final report. F. Transfer of Property Ordinance adopted by City Council. 2. Transitions from Existing Uses Objective: Assure access, continued use and provision of services for all properties within the designated area during the transition to the Automall. Discussion: The intent of the Plan is that redevelopment will occur in phases. In all cases, the City will assure access to individual properties and businesses during the transition period. For example, if Sound Mazda is developed (Exhibit A), its main access will be through SW 12th Street. The street east of the proposed turn circle will not be vacated because other residential and commercial uses also need the access to their property. In addition, the proposed improvements to that section of SW 12th Street will be delayed until properties are assembled so that access to the eastern end is not needed. The City will support using partial and/or half street vacations to maintain access to existing uses during the transition period. The attached Plan illustrates the existing conditions, and the final rights-of-way and street configurations. Access is planned so that auto circulation can be coordinated and so that property owners can anticipate and plan for development. Action: Maintain City services to existing uses in the Automall. Use Site Plan and SEPA review processes to insure that health and safety standards are maintained and that access is provided to existing uses. 4 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 3. Street Circulation Objective: Improve SW 12th St. and Maple Ave. SW streets to modify the rights-of- way width and length, provide turn circles, general customer parking area and consolidate access drives. Discussion: The Plan Map depicts the final configuration of streets in the Automall. This includes streets, rights-of-way and roadway widths, sidewalks, turn circles radii, and a general customer parking area. Perimeter and internal traffic flow, traffic signals and lane channels are coordinated so that the circulation of cars is smooth and does not worsen conditions at major intersections. This design is intended to provide easy access from SW Grady Way and Lind Ave SW into the Automall area. Once in the area the streets are reduced in width to provide land area that can be vacated. A second purpose of the reduced street width is to slow traffic. The turn circles are designed to allow people to easily maneuver either to return to another dealership or exit the area. An example of this concept is shown in Exhibit A and B. Turn circle dimensions fit within the existing rights-of-way and can be negotiated by firetrucks. If necessary, there is the potential for the City to develop an additional street connection from the eastern turn circle out to SW Grady Way. The Plan includes a western turn circle with an island and monument sign to accommodate advertising. Adjacent to this circle is a parking area for customers who may want convenient access to several dealers so they can comparison shop without parking again. The Plan depicts the alignment and dimensions of these streets. In all cases finished streets will have minimum widths of 24 feet from curb to curb and sidewalks have 5 feet from inside of curb. Both turn circles will have 30 foot circle radii. Land for sidewalks around the circles will be assured from the remainder of the rights-of-way and/or private property necessary to accomplish the design. This street configuration is coordinated with the potential rights-of- way vacations. If a street improvement project designated on the Plan abuts a private property line, private property owners will be responsible for those improvements. The City will not require standard street improvements within the designated Automall area which are not shown on the Plan. Action: Improve SW 12th Street and Maple Ave SW with a turn circle, sidewalks, street lighting, customer parking, and traffic signals in the public Right of Way. Opportunities for joint access to parking areas should be addressed through Site Plan Review. Improvements could be made by property owners, City capital improvements projects and local improvement districts or a combination of the three. 4. Pedestrian Connections Objective: Encourage a pedestrian walkway system that connects throughout the Automall. Discussion: A clear and designated walkway encourages people to walk and comparison shop. Individual development can make pedestrian connections directly from one property to the next and connect parking areas to dealerships. The specific alignment will 5 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 depend on how each site development is proposed. A sidewalk located along both sides of SW 12th Ave. allows people to move from their car to different dealerships. Action: Work with the developers, as development proposals are submitted, to incorporate walkway connections within each site and connect adjacent buildings. Implementation of this element will occur through the Site Plan Review process. 5. Perimeter Landscaping Objective: Encourage perimeter landscaping to match the landscaping on the north side of SW Grady Way with a 15 foot wide, 30 inch high grass berm and Red Maples placed 25 feet on center. Discussion: Large-scaled and consistent landscaping along the Automall perimeter is needed to give the area a cohesive image, mirror adjacent landscaping and define the boundary of the Automall. Most of the perimeter landscaping is in the existing rights-of-way. A limited amount of dedicated private property would be needed to fulfill this objective. As with all development, the property owner is responsible for installation and maintenance. Flexible requirements are necessary to meet the intent of this element because the grade drops down from SW Grady Way into the Automall area. For example, a bermed landscape, as prescribed, would be ineffective 6 feet below street grade. The City should work with the property owner to find reasonable alternatives to meet this element's objective without requiring excessive costs. Landscaping in the interior of the Automall includes all area inside the Perimeter Landscaping. On-site Development Standards (Element 6) addresses landscaping in the Automall interior. Action: Work with developers, as proposals are submitted, to incorporate perimeter landscaping as intended through the Site Plan Review process. 6. On-Site Development Standards Objective: Encourage flexible requirements that allow interior landscape areas to be consolidated to enhance building and site entries. Discussion: The perimeter landscaping described in Element 5 will provide a significant amenity at the boundary of the Automall and can help unify the entire district. As a result, a more flexible standard can be used for interior landscaping within specific projects. The objective of interior landscaping should be to encourage higher quality treatment at project and building entries. For example, a developer could consolidate a mass of plant materials at site entries and building fronts rather than scatter a larger amount of landscaping throughout the site in small planters. Consolidated landscaping would result in a more effective site plan without increasing the amount of required landscaping. The amount of landscaping required to qualify for this flexible treatment should be determined in the zoning code. Action: Work with the developers, as development proposal are submitted, to consolidate landscaping within each site to enhance the Automall through the Site Plan Review process. 6 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 7. Gateway and Banners into the Automall Objective: Promote and enhance a gateway at Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way and establish banners along the perimeter that call attention to the Automall as a cohesive and attractive area. Discussion: City staff identified a potential gateway entrance to Renton and the Automall at the intersection of Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way. Road improvements at Maple Ave SW and SW Grady Way, which include traffic signals, will be installed as development in the Automall occurs. A bridge structure could be used to accommodate traffic signals, Automall signs, and other graphics. Innovative treatment of the signage at this location could turn a standard traffic signal into a gateway feature. The Automall could be further identified and enhanced by placing banners mounted on light poles along SW Grady Way and other major arterials adjacent to the Automall where dealerships exist. An example of this concept is shown in Exhibit C. Banners along the Automall boundary would signal to the driver that they are entering a distinctive section of the city. Action: Seek contributions from adjacent dealerships, and funding from the City to design, manufacture and install signage, art, and graphics to a traffic signal bridge (without interference to signals) over the intersection at SW Grady Way and Maple Avenue S. Action: Seek contributions from adjacent dealerships and funding from the City to design, manufacture and install banners along the Automall perimeter and other contiguous dealerships. 8. Location of Possible Signs Objective: Promote the Automall as an attractive destination retail area by coordinating signs within and extending signs outside the Automall. Discussion: Signs are important for business identification. This Plan envisions three types of signs for the Automall: directional, Automall identification, and dealer identification. An I-405 sign advertising a retail district is rare, however, such signs do exist for the Olympia Automall and Bellevue Square. A similar sign may be possible for Renton. Signage at the gateway entry would be designed to create an entry to Renton and to identify the Automall. Signage in the proposed turn circle would also provide directional information or advertising for individual dealers. Automall businesses will provide their own individual identification. A signage program which coordinates number, height, and size of signs is needed to enhance the quality of Automall developments. Action: Lobby the Washington State Department of Transportation for signs on I-405 approaching the Rainier Ave S./State Route 167 exits. DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 Action: Encourage surrounding dealerships to contribute to the gateway (intersection of SW Grady Way and Maple Ave SW) and monument signs (intersection of Maple Ave SW and SW 12th Street). Action: Develop a signage plan in coordination with auto dealers. h:\div\p&ts\pinlpcohen\recdoc2 8 DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 EXHIBIT A S W Q 1/ W LL <gd s( el.-ea.* 40.r.equi-ltslz, o y 5 W 2 I i J O lift la 111 I I W W W O Z ll I..

NEW BUSINESS Council President Corman reported that last week,three groups working to Transportation: I-405 Corridor address traffic problems in the I-405 corridor met to discuss a ten-year plan for Study&Improvements needed improvements. He noted that the I-405/SR-167 interchange was agreed to be in need of a major revision. One idea is to realign this section of I-405 so that two lanes(rather than just one)turn southbound onto 167. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler asked if the subject of further straightening the"S"curves was discussed. Mr. Corman replied that while there was talk of adding one or two lanes to I-405, those present acknowledged the lack of right- of-way available for widening. They further understood that Renton officials are sensitive to the takings issue, given that several homes were lost as a result of the last"S"Curves project. Mrs.Keolker-Wheeler suggested that the City make efforts to get information on this subject to the public, including how they can get involved.

AUDIENCE COMMENT Al Blake, 12541 —200th Ave. SE,Issaquah,WA, spoke as a representative of Citizen Comment: Blake—the Cedar River Hangar Partnership which leases space at the Renton Cedar River Hangars Lease at Municipal Airport. Commenting that Clayton Scott of Jobmaster would Municipal Airport appreciate a delay in any action regarding his lease because his business partner was not able to attend tonight's meeting,Mr.Blake relinquished the remainder of his allotted speaking time to Phil Pearl. Citizen Comment: Pearl— Phil Pearl,5302 Lola Lane,Langley,WA,spoke as a board member and one of Cedar River Hangars Lease at the 29 partners of the Cedar River Hangar partnership. Explaining that Cedar Municipal Airport River Hangars recently asked the City for a ten-year extension of its lease from 2005 to 2015,he emphasized that the company needs consistency and predictability in order to have a viable business and so it can attract future capital investments at the airport. Mr.Pearl said the company requested a lease extension specifically to 2015 to coordinate this timing with the Airport Masterplan. He claimed that last year,the City extended the lease for Lane Aviation for 30 years. Continuing,Mr. Pearl said Cedar River Hangars has submitted information regarding the revenue the City would continue to receive if it extended the land DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 CD Proposed Code Revisions to Area "A" and Area "B" of the Renton Auto Mall Public Hearing April 10, 2000 7:30 PM Renton City Council Chambers Summary: Renton's Auto Mall was developed in 1996 with an Area "A" between Lind Avenue S on the west, SW Grady Way on the north, Rainier Avenue S on the east and I-405 on the south. This area,because of its good freeway access and visibility, as well as redevelopment potential, was basically restricted to new dealerships and related ancillary uses. The initial Auto Mall also included an Area "B" on the north side of SW Grady Way between Lind Avenue SW and Shattuck Avenue S. In 1998, both Area "A" and Area `B" were amended to expand their respective geographical areas. Area "A", was expanded two blocks to the west because this area was similar to Area "A" to its east. It had reasonable visibility from the freeway and had previously been platted with small lots, streets, and alleys. Area `B" at this time was also expanded to include existing dealerships on both sides of SW Grady Way as well as along portions of Rainier Avenue S. Their inclusion was seen as strengthening the automall concept and by ensuring more cohesive landscaping, giving the Auto Mall a more identifiable character. Because uses in the expanded portion of Area"A have not been purchased or relocated at the rate that occurred in the original Area "A" to the east, it is felt that rather than having these uses disinvest as legal non-conforming uses, it would be better to allow them as legally permitted uses, while not precluding new dealerships from locating within this area. This is achieved by changing the overlay for this area from Area "A" to Area`B". The CA zoned half block to the north would retain its Area A"designation. Recommendation: Staff are recommending that the Council support a proposed map amendment that would delete from Area"A"that portion of it currently zoned IM and redesignate this area Area`B".

The Committee requested a Committee briefing from the Development Services Division regarding the tracking of Development Services: restrictive covenants required as a result of the land use permit process. Staff Tracking of Restrictive reported that until recently,restrictive covenants were difficult to track. The Covenants covenants are recorded against the property title, and building permits do not require that an applicant submit a current copy of a title report. At the end of 1999, staff completed a project cataloging and mapping all of the restrictive covenants required by the City. Staff is now able to check a map to identify affected properties. A corresponding database provides the recording number of the restrictive covenant, a legal description of the affected property, and a summary of the requirement of the covenants. The Planning&Development Committee recommended referring this matter to the Committee of the Whole for a briefing.

The covenants require: 1. Voluntary payment of$6,450 for specific traffic improvements on Lake Washington Boulevard. 2. Requirement for specific off-site public street improvements including: installation of a left turn lane opposite the entrance to the lakeside site; provision of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and street lighting and all necessary appurtenances across the frontage of the lakeside site; provision of asphalt surface temporary sidewalks from the property to the entrance of Gene Coulon Park; traffic control (signage and striping) for pedestrians crossing Lake Washington Boulevard from the east to the west side near the north entrance to Coulon Park,provided that the applicant would not be required to duplicate these improvements. 3. Requirement that no development of the project is to occur to the east of the toe of the slope as defined in the restrictive covenants. 4. Requirement that the number of dwelling units proposed would be restricted to 187; provided,however, that in the event of a zoning change to permit more units than 187, such zoning change would supercede and supplant that portion of the restrictive covenants contrary thereto. The covenants were required as a condition of rezoning of the property in 1983 R-81-090). The restrictive covenants require certain off-site improvements or restrict development on the site. The covenants are no longer relevant as they have either been satisfied or have been supplanted by subsequent rezoning of the property.

Document5/ DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 y CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS,AND STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMORANDUM DATE: February 28, 2000 TO: Randy Corman,President Renton City Council FROM: Sue Carlson,Administrator VIA: 31: Jesse Tanner,Mayor STAFF CONTACT: Don Erickson SUBJECT:Auto Mall Amendments to Overlay Area"A" ISSUE: Whether Area "A" of Renton's Auto Mall should be amended to delete a block and a half portion that is industrially zoned between Seneca Avenue S on the east and Raymond Avenue S on the west in order to allow for the expansion of existing uses in the area. This proposed change would not preclude Area "A" uses such as new auto, motorcycle, and passenger truck dealerships from continuing to develop here. The deleted area would be redesignated Area`B". RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommend that the Council refer this item to the Planning and Development Committee noting that the Planning Commission reviewed this item on February 16, 2000 and supported the Administration's recommendation that those portions of Area "A" currently zoned IM should be redesignated Area"B". BACKGROUND: Renton's Auto Mall was developed in 1996 with an Area "A"between Lind Avenue S on the west, SW Grady Way on the north, Rainier Avenue S on the east and I-405 on the south. This area, because of its good freeway access and visibility, as well as redevelopment potential, was designated for new dealerships. The initial Auto Mall designation also included an Area "B", which is the district to the north bounded by SW Grady Way on the south, Lind Avenue SW on the west, the abandoned railroad rights-of-way on the north, and Shattuck Avenue S on the east. Area `B" has special landscaping requirements but does not restrict new uses to dealerships. Uses permitted by the underlying zoning continue to be allowed. In 1998 both Area "A" and Area `B" of Renton's Auto Mall were amended to expand their respective geographical areas. Area "A", which is basically restricted to auto, motorcycle, lawn and garden equipment, and passenger truck sales and related miscellaneous uses, was expanded to the west to Raymond SW by two blocks. This area was included since it had relatively good visibility TS_SERVER\SYS2:\COMMON\-W:\EconomicDevelopment\STRATPLN\PLANNING\DE\Auto Mall\Council Issue Paper.doc\d DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 February 28,2000 Page 2 from the freeway and like the area to the east of Seneca Avenue S, had been subdivided years ago with platted alleys and small lots. Like the area to the east,the existing smaller lots would need to be assembled into larger parcels if major dealerships were to develop in the area. At the same time, Area `B" was also expanded to include sites on both sides of SW Grady Way as well as along portions of Rainier Avenue S to the north that included dealerships or auto-related uses and, it was felt, should comply with the same landscaping requirements required on the south side of SW Grady Way. The City also wanted these uses to coordinate with a right-of-way improvement plan that was to be developed for the Auto Mall. The latter plan was to provide coordinated landscaping and street furniture improvements that would assist in giving the Auto Mall a unique and identifiable character. Unlike Area, "A"which basically is restricted to dealerships, Area `B" allows dealerships as well as other uses permitted by the underlying zoning. The expanded Area "A" has not lived up to expectations for new dealerships for a number of reasons. First, the area does not have the same visibility as areas to the east do from the freeway. Second, land prices have escalated to point where it is no longer economically practical to assemble these larger parcels, and third there appears to be a genuine preference by some companies for smaller, individually owned and industrially zoned, lots as an alternative to being tenants in larger industrial parks such as those found in the Valley south of I-405 or in the Blackriver Corporate Park to the west. The CA zoned portion of this area between Seneca Avenue S and Raymond Avenue S along the south side of SW Grady Way would be retained as Area "A", restricting it to future dealerships or existing office uses. Since there would no longer be a need for land assembly in the redesignated area, incentives for street and alley vacations, such as the waiver of street vacation fees, no longer would apply to this area. CONCLUSION: The IM zoned portion of Area"A"of the Auto Mall,between Raymond Avenue SW on the west and Seneca Avenue SW on the east, should be redesignated Area `B" as shown on the Auto Mall Improvement District Map. The half-block frontage along SW Grady Way currently designated as Area"A"between these same two streets would retain this designation, limiting new uses along this valuable street frontage to dealerships.

Assessments v. Commercial) She requested that Council receive a presentation from the Finance Department on this subject. Mayor Tanner agreed that Renton's overall assessed value has remained constant for some time, despite a hundred or more million dollars' worth of development that has occurred in the past several years. Residential property assessments are increasing by an average of three percent. He suggested that Renton join with other South King County cities to formally protest the assessment methodology which benefits commercial properties to the detriment of residential properties. Mrs.Keolker-Wheeler noted that in evaluating individual parcels affected by the moratorium on multi-family development in commercial areas, staff discovered that several of these properties were absent from the tax rolls,and had been for quite some time.

Mr. Patricelli also presented plaques to Mayor Tanner and the City Council to express appreciation for their roles in implementing the Neighborhood Program. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Transportation: Six-Year in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public TIP, 1999-2004 hearing to consider the 1999-2004 Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and associated budget amendments. Sandra Meyer, Transportation Systems Director, explained that the TIP identifies six years' worth of transportation capital improvement projects, associated funding, the timing of improvements, and the anticipated results of implementing the program. The TIP assumes that certain state and regional funding will become available, such as the RTA funding that was approved and allocated to the greater Renton area for the HOV-direct access interchanges and express bus service. Lee Haro, Transportation Planning Supervisor, added that the proposed budget adjustments reflect an increase of $900,000 in local revenues resulting from special appropriations for neighborhood walkways and downtown street improvements, as well as from increased business licensing fees. Newly acquired state and federal grants total an additional $3,200,000. Mr. Haro described how the TIP will maintain the City's existing infrastructure, one of the most important purposes of any transportation program. Other projects and programs enhance the liveability of Renton's communities, or improve the safety and operations of transportation facilities. Mr. Haro noted that RUSH, downtown Renton's free bus shuttle service, is the most successful shuttle in King County's history. Mr. Haro briefly reviewed the top ten TIP priority projects, as follows: Street Overlay Program; Oakesdale Ave. SW Phase 1 (SW 16th to 27th Sts.); Oakesdale Ave. SW Phase 2 (SW 27th to 31st Sts.); I-405/NE 44th St. Interchange; Transit Program; Walkway Program; Intra-City Intermodal Transportation Program; Downtown Transit Access Program; Logan Ave. and Pipeline Streetscape; and Transit Priority Signal System. Audience comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY EDWARDS, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 223 for legislation.) EDNSP: Automall This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published Expansion in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider the proposed expansion of the Renton Automall. Mike Kattermann, Director of Neighborhoods & Strategic Planning, stated that Renton's Automall area is divided into two subsections, Areas "A" and "B." Area A is currently restricted to auto-related uses only. It has higher landscape standards for all properties, and financial incentives for dealerships to locate there. The proposal is to expand the current Area "A" west to include four additional blocks between Lind and Raymond. The change would also add existing offices and small vehicle sales (snowmobiles and lawn and garden equipment) to the list of allowed uses. DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 June 22. 1998 Renton City Council Minutes Page 219 Continuing, Mr. Kattermann said one proposed change for Automall Area "B" would be to adopt Area "A"'s higher landscape standards, but only for those auto dealerships located within its boundaries. Area "B" encompasses three different zoning categories (Arterial Commercial, and Medium Industrial and High Industrial) but uses do not have to be auto-related. The proposal would expand Area "B" to include several existing and expected dealerships currently located outside of the Automall. This would allow the City to require higher landscape standards of these businesses. It would also permit auto dealerships in Area "B" to have electronic reader board signs. Mr. Kattermann added that the proposal would also create a right-of-way improvement plan that would use special street signage and decorative banners to help identify the area. The Planning Commission recommended that the Automall expansion be approved as presented, with two modifications: 1) That the reference to snowmobile, lawn and garden equipment" be deleted from the list of primary uses allowed in Area "A"; and 2) That the Puget Sound Energy site located on Grady Way east of Talbot Road not be included in the expansion area. Mr. Kattermann added that staffs recommendation is that this item remain in Planning & Development Committee for further consideration. He noted the receipt of a request to extend the written comment period for one week, which staff does not oppose. Councilman Schlitzer suggested that the manner in which sales of certain items are allowed or disallowed might be overly specific, since it calls out particular vehicles such as personal watercraft, ATVs, motorcycles, snowmobiles, etc. Mr. Kattermann agreed that this language can be looked at closer in committee. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler questioned why the proposal includes overlaying the Automall designation onto properties such as the Holiday Inn site, which is already developed and for which the City is not encouraging redevelopment. Emphasizing that the properties would not be affected unless the current use changed to an auto dealership, Mr. Kattermann noted that any property always possesses the opportunity to be redeveloped. He added that Council can change the proposed expansion boundaries of Area "A" or "B" as it deems appropriate. Audience comment was invited. Don Pugh, 811 SW Grady Way, Renton, 98055, representing Cummins Northwest, Inc., was concerned with the proposal to overlay Area "A" onto property located to the east of the Cummins site. Saying that Cummins has considered expanding its use in that direction, he noted that it could not do so if that property was incorporated into Area "A," since it would then be restricted to certain auto-related uses. Correspondence was read from Robert I. Heller, 1001 Fourth Ave. Suite 4000, Seattle, 98144, representing Cummins Northwest Inc., describing the concern stated by Mr. Pugh and suggesting that the following sentence be added to the Automall provisions to address this and similar situations: "However, businesses in operation on the date of this amendment at locations abutting or adjacent to (across the street from) Area 'A' shall be permitted to expand onto property in Area 'A' that is abutting or adjacent to the existing facility." DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 June 22, 1998 Name Renton City Council Minutes Page 220 Responding to Councilman Corman, Mr. Kattermann noted that Council could always change the boundaries of Area "A" in the future to accommodate situations such as that described by Mssrs. Pugh and Heller. Additional correspondence was read from Rosemary Grassi, no address provided, who asked that the Puget Sound Energy property be excluded from the Automall area, as she felt it could be used in the future to expand the new city hall complex. Noting her concern that the entrance into the Chevron station in Renton Village is hazardous to drivers entering from the east, Ms. Grassi further asked that the City encourage natural landscaping with plants and flowers in the Automall and discourage streamers, fringe and balloons which are not as attractive. Responding to Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor Tanner said the primary reason for including the Puget Sound Energy site in Area "B" is because it has already been sold to AutoNation, and only by including it in Area "B" will the City be able to require the higher landscape standards. He added that this site is currently zoned Heavy Industrial (IH), which allows auto sales. Jerry Shreve, PO Box 95, Kent, 98035, stated that he owns a home at 515 Wells S. adjacent to the proposed Automall expansion area, the basement of which has flooded three times in the last eight years. He was concerned that additional development and pavement would increase the storm water runoff in this area, resulting in more flooding. He therefore requested that the City re-evaluate its storm water runoff regulations for any new development in this area. Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman agreed that this area still experiences surface water problems, which the City is addressing. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington added that Renton's development regulations stipulate that no new project is allowed to increase an area's current storm water runoff. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING, LEAVING THE WRITTEN RECORD OPEN FOR ONE WEEK AS REQUESTED. CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 1998 and beyond. Items noted included: Metro Credit Union has donated $500 to the City's scholarship program, which enables Renton residents to participate in a City class or activity for half the cost or no cost. Dredging of the Cedar River began last week, with dredged materials being trucked for storage to the Narco site at an expected frequency of one truck every five or six minutes. Water Supervisor Ray Sled was selected to be part of a team traveling to Bosnia to help with that country's water distribution system.

NTO RENTON AUTOMALL EXPANSION ZONING TEXT AMENDMENTS SUMMARY: The City of Renton is considering expansion of the existing automall overlay designation to create a regional auto mall that has a cohesive appearance for both improved retailing activity and public image (see attached Proposed Automall Expansion Map). The proposed expansion would occur in the area along SW Grady Way between Powell Avenue SW on the west and Benson Road South on the east, and along South Rainier Avenue between I-405 on the south and the BN railroad tracks on the north. This area overlaps three existing zoning districts, the Commercial Arterial Zone, Industrial Medium Zone, and the Industrial Heavy Zone. All three of these zones currently allow auto sales, leasing, and related uses. Within the proposed Area "A" uses would be limited to auto and truck sales and car rentals, public parking and licensing bureaus, and small motor vehicle sales. Provisions in Area "A" are intended to help facilitate the assembly of larger parcels needed by dealerships. These would apply to the area between Raymond Avenue SW and Lind Avenue SE on the south side of SW Grady Way Within Area "A", and for auto sales and related uses in Area "B", special landscaping development standards are imposed in lieu of those in the underlying zones. These landscape development standards are generally stricter than what is required in the underlying zone and are intended to give the automall a more uniform appearance. These landscaping provisions require a minimum 30 inch high bermed landscape strip that is at least 15 feet deep and planted with Red Maple trees 25 feet on center. In addition to these requirements there are provisions for creating an Automall and Right-of-Way Improvement Plan. Such a plan has the potential of creating a more unified streetscape along such major arterials as Grady Way,Rainier Avenue, SW Lind Avenue and Talbot Road,using special street signage and decorative banners,for example, to help identify the automall. Other new provision would allow the Zoning Administrator to modify these provisions where it can be shown that their strict application would create a hardship.

City Clerk: TCI Community Services Committee Chair Nelson presented a report regarding Retroactive Franchise Fee TCI franchise fee calculations and retroactive fees. In 1995, TCI changed its Payment (& Pass-Through franchise fee calculation methodology as the result of a ruling by the FCC on to Customers) an appeal by the City of Baltimore. The FCC decided that cable franchise fees should not be considered as gross revenues in TCI's 5% franchise fee calculations. At that time, TCI stopped passing through the franchise fee on franchise fee to its subscribers. The ruling was subsequently appealed, and in 1997, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the FCC ruling and determined that the amounts collected from TCI subscribers as franchise fees can be included in gross revenues and are subject to franchise fee liability. In order to recoup the fees owed to the City of Renton since 1995, TCI must retroactively pass these fees back to their customers. At this time TCI has agreed to pay the City a lump sum of $25,849.30 in back franchise fees, and has proposed passing the fees through to customers over a period of time. The Community Services Committee has reviewed the staff recommendation and the proposal from TCI to reimburse the City its retroactive franchise fees, and recommended that City Council accept a lump sum payment from TCI in the total amount of $25,849.30, and authorize TCI to collect back franchise fees from customers over a one-year period in the amount of $.16 per month.

CARRIED. Citizen Comment: Bruce Anderson, 101 Park Ave. N., Renton, 98055, asked if the violation Anderson - Sandwich- notices were sent only to businesses in downtown Renton. He noted that Board Advertising Signs many types of business such as real estate agencies, non-profit businesses and churches use this type of signage. Mayor Tanner answered that the letters were sent to businesses in various areas of the City. Citizen Comment: Kay McCauley, 505 Williams Ave. N., Renton, 98055, stated that the use of McCauley - Sandwich- A-frame signs is very important for small businesses. Explaining that she has Board Advertising Signs attended many meetings regarding signs, she asserted that it is vital for small businesses to attract people outside of the area to shop. Ms. McCauley commented that the sign advertising the location of her business is placed strategically so that potential customers can find parking spaces as they are approaching her business because there are no parking spaces available once they pass it. Citizen Comment: Beverly Franklin, PO Box 685, Renton, 98057, said that as a small business Franklin - Sandwich owner, she believed that sandwich-board signs were necessary to let pedestrian Board Advertising Signs traffic know where to find her business. Ms. Franklin asked that the City be more supportive of small businesses and suggested holding more workshops to discuss signage guidelines. Mayor Tanner said that until this issue is resolved, the business owners should disregard the violation notices which were sent to them. Councilman Corman was concerned that A-frame signs placed on sidewalks can generate sight obstruction problems for drivers. City Attorney Warren concurred this will be a consideration in whether a sign is allowed. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler asked that all individuals who spoke be notified of any future meetings regarding this issue. CONSENT AGENDA Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing.

Summary of Action: The proposed auto mall expansion includes amendments to the Commercial Arterial (CA), Medium Industrial IM) and the Heavy Industrial (IH) zones. Expansion would include extending Area "A" west of the current auto mall area on Grady Way at Lind Avenue SW in order to facilitate land assemblage for future auto dealerships in this area, as well as Area"B". Area"B"would be expanded to the west, north and east to allow automall landscape standards, signage and right-of-way improvements to be extended to those areas having existing dealerships in the area along the north side of SW Grady Way east of Rainier Avenue as well as those along Rainier Avenue north of Grady Way between Hardie Way and Shattuck Avenue South. The expansion would also include the expansion of the "right-of-way improvement plan" provided for in the original auto mall designation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Council approve the proposed Auto Mall expansion and Code amendments. autobill.doc DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS & STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMORANDUM DATE: May 4, 1998 TO: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Chair Planning&Development Committee VIA: 1\ Mayor Jesse Tanner NC- FROM: Sue Carlson, Administrator .S STAFF CONTACT: Don Erickson (ext. 6181) SUBJECT: Renton Automall Expansion IS SUE: Should the Renton Automall Area "A" be expanded to the two blocks to the west to Raymond Avenue SW? Should Area"B"be expanded to the east along Grady Way? Should the existing development standards for Areas "A"and`B"be applied? RECOMMENDATION: That Area"A" of the Renton Automall be expanded to the west to encompass the four smaller blocks and residual of a fifth block between Lind Avenue SW on the east and Raymond Avenue SW on the west, between I-405 on the south and SW Grady Way on the north. That existing office buildings be identified as a permitted use in Area"A". That Area "B" of the Renton Automall be expanded including the Puget Power site east of Talbot Road South and south of Grady Way. That dealerships in Area"B" be required to comply with the same landscape development standards as dealerships in Area"A". That the existing Right-of-way Improvement Plan be expanded to include Area "B" as well as Area A,> BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Staff are recommending that Area "A" of the existing automall be expanded to include the area between Lind Avenue SW and Raymond Avenue SW between Grady Way on the north and I-405 on the south since this area currently has one auto dealership in it and is faced with the same property assembly constraints DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 May 4, 1998 Page 2 that exist in the area to the east. Staff are also recommending the Area `B" of the existing automall also be expanded to reflect the exiting dealerships and vehicular related uses along Rainier Avenue, SW Grady way, and the area along Talbot Road (SR-515) between SW Grady and I-405. The Planning Commission considered this item at a briefing and raised a number of issues which are discussed below. In regards to the issue of whether to expand the Renton Automall's Area "A" to the west, staff supports the expansion. Area "A"s financial and other incentives will facilitate the vacation of older plats based upon small lot development so that they can accommodate new commercial enterprises requiring larger sites. Such new development would appear to be in the public interest if it contributes to the City's economic base the same way the other new dealerships have. Similar impediments to new automotive related development arise in the proposed expansion area from earlier plats that established small lots, narrow blocks, and narrow (and in some cases incomplete) alleys and streets. A Saturn automobile dealership is located between Lind Avenue SW and Seneca Avenue SW along SW Grady Way and other dealerships are likely to follow if land can be easily assembled. Because of existing office buildings in both the old and proposed expansion area, this use is proposed to be allowed as a permitted use. Staff and Planning Commission concur on this issue. Regarding the inclusion of the existing Puget Power site that lies east of Talbot Road S (SR-515) and south of Grady Way and north of Benson Road South, staff are recommending through the on-going Comp Plan amendments that this site eventually be zoned to Commercial Arterial (CA) given its location and visibility from the surrounding community arterials and freeway. It should be noted that automobile, boat and motorcycle dealerships are currently allowed in both the IH and CA zones. By including this area in Area B" it would be possible to impose better landscaping development standards which would help integrate this area into the automall to the west. As a gateway arterial into Renton, landscape continuity along Grady Way would appear to be in the public interest. The staff and Planning Commission disagreed on this issue. The Planning Commission recommended eliminating this area because of its proximity to Renton's new City Hall. There is also general consensus that landscaping in front of Renton Honda does work in screening the undercarriages of parked vehicles and creates visual softening along the street's edge. In order to ensure greater continuity staff are now proposing that dealerships in Area "B" be required to provide the same street frontage landscaping as dealerships in Area"A". Other uses in Area`B"would continue to provide the normal landscaping required by the underlying zoning. Also, the existing provisions in the Automall for a Right-of-way Improvement Plan now only apply to Area "A". The right-of-way improvement plan, which is to be completed by the City in coordination with adjacent property owners, is supposed to address area gateways, signage, landscaping and shared access. Staff and Planning Commission concur on this issue. CONCLUSION: There appears to be sufficient justification for expanding Area "A" of the automall to the west to encompass the two blocks between Lind Avenue SW and Raymond Avenue SW since many of the same impediments to large lot development exist here because of older small lot development patterns and street layouts, and diverse ownership patterns. Likewise, extending the Area "B" designation and development standards to the east to include the IH zoned parcel owned by Puget Power would further the integration of this area with common landscaping provisions and signage into the area along SW Grady Way. Eventually, CA zoning is proposed to replace the IH zoning on this site. Because of its size and location this site would appear to lend itself to a variety of vehicular oriented uses allowed in the CA Zone. autoisue2.doc/ DocuSign Envelope ID: 4B069089-0AFA-4419-ACDE-7A2C95C7F0D6 011110, NOW COMMERCIAL ARTERIAL ZONE In Section 4-31-10.4: Commercial Arterial Zone (CA) amend Subsection A.
