APPLICANT: Gerald E. Schneider FILE NO. R-124-80, SP-123-80 LOCATION: East side of Monroe Avenue N.E. approximately 600 feet north of N.E. 4th Street. SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The applicant requests a rezone from R-2 to R-3 and a special permit to allow construction of a 158 unit residential complex in an R-2 and R-3 zone. SUMMARY OF Planning Department: Approval with conditions. RECOMMENDATION: Hearing Examiner: Approval with conditions. PLANNING DEPARTMENT The Planning Department preliminary report was received by the REPORT: Examiner on December 24, 1980. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the Planning Department report, examining available information on file with the application, and field checking the property and surrounding area, the Examiner conducted a public hearing on the subject as follows: The hearing was opened on December 30, 1980 at 10:15 *a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. It was reported that the Hearing Examiner and the applicant had received and reviewed the Planning Department report. Roger Blaylock, Associate Planner, presented the report, and entered the following exhibits into the record: Exhibit #1 : Application File for Rezone containing Planning Department report and other pertinent documents Exhibit #2: Survey Map of Rezone Proposal The Examiner requested testimony by .the applicant. Responding was: Richard Wilson 403 Columbia Street Seattle, WA 98104 Mr. Wilson discussed the purpose of the rezone and special permit requests to allow accessory parking for the proposed development in conformance with city ordinances and regulations, although he noted his opinion that the Parking and Loading Ordinance allows parking for multi-family uses on a contiguous lot with the building it is required to serve. He advised that the development as designed will provide an attractive addition to the City of Renton as well as a transition from the intense apartment complex currently under construction to the south of the subject site. Mr. Wilson reviewed the findings which must be made by the Examiner in order to grant a rezone, and advised that the proposal meets requirements found in Section 4-3014 (C) 1 . (c) and (a) of the Hearing Examiner Ordinance. Mr. Wilson indicated the applicant's exceptions to certain Planning Department recommendations as follows : In Section M.3, which requires installation of off-site improvements in front of existing single family residences located at the northeast corner of the subject site along Monroe Avenue N.E. , Mr. Wilson felt that the requirement is an unfair imposition to the applicant who does not own the property and will not derive any benefit from the improvement. In Section M.6, which requires payment of traffic fees, he advised that the Declaration of Non-Significance did not address this requirement, and therefore the city has no authority to require payment of fees by the applicant at this stage of approval . The Examiner concurred, noting that if the requirement was not imposed during SEPA or plat review, it cannot be imposed by the city at this time. Mr. Wilson objected to requirements contained in Section M.7, which request elimination of storage buildings from the site plan, noting that the two proposed storage buildings are necessary amenities for residents since units do not contain r///' R-124- __ , SP-123-80 Page Two sufficient storage space to meet residential needs , and elimination of these facilities would reduce the desirability of the units. Referencing Section M.8, which contains Fire Department revisions to the site plan including elimination of the proposed berm in the entryway, Mr. Wilson indicated that the proposal provides two 12-foot wide lanes with a 10-foot wide berm and parking would be prohibited by no-parking signs. He advised the applicant's willingness to shift the berm to the east in order to increase turning radius off of Monroe Avenue N.E. , but he encouraged approval of the proposed entryway to provide a more attractive design than a wide concrete strip. The Examiner requested testimony in support of the application. There was no response. He then invited comments in opposition. Responding was: Evan Davis 3517 N.E. 6th Street Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Davis indicated concern regarding the large expanse of parking area and the potential for noise emanating from participants of soccer and other games. In responding to Mr. Davis ' concerns, Mr. Wilson indicated doubt that such problems would develop due to the location of four residential buildings between the parking area and the single family development to the north. He also noted that several organized recreational areas are proposed including a swimming pool and tennis and basketball courts to preclude use of the parking area for organized sports. The Examiner also noted that internal landscaping is proposed within the parking area which would further discourage such activities. The Examiner requested further comments in support or opposition. There was no response. He then invited final comments from the Planning Department staff. Mr. Blaylock requested that the special permit application file'be incorporated into the record since previous testimony appeared to encompass both projects. Mr. Wilson also requested that the previous special permit file be entered into the record by reference. The Examiner concurred in both requests and entered the exhibits into the record as follows: Exhibit #3: Application File for Special Permit containing Planning Department report and other pertinent documents Exhibit #4: File No. SP-064-80 (by reference) Since no further comments were offered, the hearing regarding File No. R-124-80 and SP-123-80 was closed by the Examiner at 10:40 a.m. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS : 1 . The request is for approval of a reclassification of approximately .71 acres from R-2 (Duplex Residential ) to R-3 (Medium Density Multifamily Residential) together with a request for approval of a special permit to construct approximately 11 units per acre on approximately 4.94 acres of R-2 zoned property. 2. The application file containing the application, SEPA documentation, the Planning Department report, and other pertinent documents was entered into the record as Exhibit #1 . 3. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and the State Environmental Policy Act of 1971 , R.C.W. 43.21 .C. , as amended, a Declaration of Non-Significance has been issued for the subject proposal by the Environmental Review Committee, responsible official . 4. Plans for the proposal have been reviewed by all city departments affected by the impact of this development. 5. The applicant will provide on site storm drainage facilities. 6. All other existing utilities must be brought up to standards to provide adequate service to the development. 7. The subject property was part of the original plat of the city. The site was rezoned to R-2 and R-3 in March of 1979 by Ordinance No. 3293. • The applicant had proposed a special permit for the R-2 portion of the subject property which included using portions of the R-2 property for parking for R-3 density uses. That application was dismissed without prejudice and a PUD application was,submitted. Subsequently, the PUD application was withdrawn and the current application submitted which petitioned to rezone to R-3 that portion of the R-2 property necessary for R-3 parking. R-124�=�u, SP-123-80 Page Three Accompanying that rezone petition was the original special permit proposal (Special Permit 064-80) . 8. The subject site has generally irregular topography although it is generally higher in the north descending with knolls and valleys toward the south. The site is undeveloped and is covered with a variety of vegetation, including grasses, small shrubs and larger trees such as Douglas fir. 9. The Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject property is located as suitable for the development of multifamily housing. 10. The subject site is located between an area of mixed commercial , multifamily residential and single family residential . Single family uses are located primarly to the north of the subject site while the commercial and multifamily uses are located south of the site along N.E. 4th Street. A new 20-lot single family preliminary plat has been approved just north of the subject site along N.E. 6th Street. This preliminary plat also includes Tract 1 which encompasses the subject site (See File No. PP-028-80) . A 244 unit apartment complex is currently under construction just south of the site. Just west of the subject site and abutted by the site on two sides are two single family residences located on Monroe Avenue N.E. The Greenwood Cemetery is located south of N.E. 4th and east of Monroe. 11 . The two single family residences on Monroe noted above are zoned GS-1 (General ; Single Family Residential ; Minimum lot size - 35,000 square feet) . The proposed 20-lot plat is located on property which is zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential ; Minimum lot size - 7,200 square feet) . North of the R-1 zone is a large S-1 (Single Family Residential ; Minimum lot size. - 40,000 square feet) zone. The proposed rezone would encompass property located just north of an R-3 zone and continue the R-3 zone. South, along N.E. 4th Street, between Monroe Avenue N.E. and Union Avenue N.E. is a B-1 (Business/Commercial) zone and two small parcels zoned L-1 (Light Industry) and T (Mobile Home Park) , respectively. 12. The proposed rezone of .71 acres will reduce the current acreage of the R-2 zone to 4.94 acres . The applicant proposes constructing a multiple family complex containing 158 units. The applicant proposes placing 62 of these units on the approximately 4.94 acres of R-2 property with the remaining units located on the R-3 portion of the property. Section 4-708(3) permits the establishment of less than eleven (11 ) units per acre with a special permit approved by the City Council subsequent to recommendation by the Hearing Examiner. Pursuant to Section 4-708(3) 4.94 acres will accommodate 54 units at 11 'units per acre, not the 62 units proposed. 13. The entire multifamily project will increase the population of the city by about 400 persons (2.5 persons per unit x 158 units) . The school age population will increase by approximately 40 students (.25 students per unit x 158 units) . The proposal will generate approximately 950 vehicle trips per day (6 trips per unit x 158 units) . Absent a special permit, only about 30 units could be constructed on the R-2 property. Under those circumstances the respective figures generated by the project would be a population of about 325, a school age population of 32, and a daily vehicle trip count of about 780. 14. Public transit is located along Monroe Avenue adjacent to the subject property. Public schools are located within two miles of the site with the Highlands Elementary School located within one-half mile of the site. Kiwanis Park is approximately one- half mile from the subject property. 15. The entire proposal will include 12 residential structures, a laundry, community building and various recreational amenities including a basketball court, tennis courts, a playground, a swimming pool and a jogging path. The Building Department has indicated that the two storage buildings included in the plans are not properly included in the R-2 or R-3 residential zones. 16. The buildings will be two story structures and some will include basements. There will be a mixture of 39 one-bedroom, 111 two-bedroom and eight three-bedroom units. The largest buildings will have 18 units each, the smallest, eight units. A total of 237 parking stalls will accommodate passenger vehicles and 16 separately fenced stalls will be reserved for recreational vehicles. 17. Section 4-702(1 ) defines an "accessory use or building" as follows: A 4ubandi.nate use an bu,i,tding cuotamanay .incident to and 2acated upan.the came ,tat occupied by the main use an bwi..2dLng. 18. The Fire Department has indicated that the landscaped central island/berm located in the entry driveway will intrude into the required 20-foot wide fire lane (Section 13.208 of the Uniform Fire Code) . The applicant has proposed two separate lanes for ingress and egress and each would be 12 feet wide. R-124 SP-123-80 Page Four The applicant has proposed a crash gate for emergency access at the eastern end of the complex abutting Olympia Avenue N.E. The Fire Department has recommended that the barrier be replaced with a locked gate. The Fire Department has indicated that all roads within the subject site must contain grades of less than 15%. Other fire safety measures will be determined when the applicant applies for a building permit. In order to assure proper response to emergencies originating on the subject property, the buildings must be clearly identified per the Fire and Police Departments. 19. The Planning Department and the Police Department have recommended that Monroe Avenue N.E. be widened and that improvements be installed the full length of the subject property including those portions of Monroe Avenue N.E. north of the subject property and adjacent to the two single family homes north and west of the subject property to ensure the continuity of improvements along Monroe Avenue N.E. 20. The subject property, known as Tract 1 of the Schneider Construction Company Plat of Hilltop, was part of a 21 -lot preliminary plat which was approved by the City Council on June 2, 1980. No final plat has been filed. CONCLUSIONS: (Rezone) 1 . The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest and will not impair the public health, safety and welfare in addition to compliance with at least one of the three criteria listed in Section 4-3010 which provides in part that: a. The subject site has not been considered in a previous area-wide rezone or land use analysis; or b. The subject site is potentially designated for the new classification per the Comprehensive Plan; or c. There has been material and substantial change in circumstances in the area in which the subject site is located since the last rezoning of the property or area. The applicant has demonstrated that the necessary criteria have been met to permit the reclassification of the subject property. 2. While the property was last reclassified only recently, there have been a number of changes in the area including the start on construction of the Mastro Apartments just south of the subject site. This complex will contain 244 units. 3. It was also discovered that the limitations of the narrow bands of R-2 and R-3 zoning which the last zoning created when coupled with the limitation of the restrictive covenants and the city's Planned Unit Development Ordinance placed greater constraints than were contemplated during that last rezone. The covenants and zoning were to limit construction to 180 units on the three parcels of zoning. The twenty-lot plat should have enabled the applicant to construct 160 additional units on the R-2 and R-3 property, but the constraints would have limited the applicant to about 130 units; therefore, the applicant petitioned to rezone the subject site. 4. The proposed classification of R-3 for the approximatelY. 31 ,000 square feet will not harm the adjoining properties nor will it injure the public welfare. The applicant will not increase. the population density of the land in question, but will provide a combination of landscaped parking and open space on the subject property. The R-3 designation is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation of Medium Density Multifamily for the area in which the property is located and will amount to an extension of the exising R-3 zone approximately 80 feet north in the center of the subject property. 5. The rezone will not interfere with nor violate the restrictive covenants executed at the time of the last reclassification of the subject property and will preserve the required buffers to the north and east. The remaining R-2 property, when coupled with the landscaping required along the northern property line, will effectively buffer the single family district to the north. 6. The applicant has indicated a willingness to restrict this reclassified R-3 property to parking and landscaping to limit the population density and restrictive covenants insuring this limitation will be required. R-124-80, SP-123-80 Page Five CONCLUSIONS (continued) : (Special Permit) 7. The applicant has proposed to construct approximately 62 units on approximately five acres of property pursuant to Section 4-708(3) . The proposal to place these units on the R-2 zoned land is part of the larger proposal to construct 158 units on the entire acreag e of Tract 1 of the Hilltop Plat. As indicated in Finding 12, the proposed rezone will reduce the R-2 acreage available to 4.94 acres, and therefore the R-2 property will only accommodate 54 units under the formula supplied by Section 4-708(3) . The applicant will have to scale down that portion of the proposal , but may scale up that portion of the property zoned R-3 within the constraints of Section 4-709(A) (2) . 8. Within the framework of Condition No. 7, the proposal to so use the R-2 zoned property is both compatible with the Comprehensive Plan and the transitional character of the area. The property to the north, also controlled by the applicant, is to be developed as a single family subdivision with 20 units. The special permit will enable the R-2 portion of Tract 1 to serve as a buffer between that single family use and the more intense R-3 use proposed for the southerly portion of Tract 1 and also the multifamily apartment complex (Mastro) under construction south of the subject properties. 9. The additional units the special permit will allow will provide additional housing in the city and the additional 30 units will not appreciably impact the adjacent properties nor harm the public welfare. The proposal will provide on site recreational amenities for its residents , thereby lessening impact on city parks and will not intrude on the single family uses to the north, east or west. Buffers will minimize the impact of the proposed use on these properties. The applicant will maintain a .25-foot buffer along the north property line and a 100-foot buffer along the east property line. 10. Because of the size and nature of the subject proposal and the fact that it will generate approximately 950 vehicle trips per day together with the fact that it is intimately related to the 20-lot plat just to the north and is actually part of that preliminary plat, the applicant should be required to improve Monroe Avenue N.E. concurrently with the construction on the subject site both as a safety measure and to assure that that roadway will be able to accommodate the anticipated traffic. The improvements should include but not be limited to street widening, lighting and sidewalks . Monroe Avenue N.E. runs north toward the large shopping complex along Sunset Boulevard N.E. which will certainly serve the residents of the proposed complex. Since the impacts of the project will not be solely limited to that portion of Monroe Avenue N.E. immediately adjacent to the site, the improvements should include the entire stretch of Monroe Avenue N.E. between the southern property line of Tract 1 and the north property line of the twenty lot subdivision including that portion fronting the single family homes on Monroe. 11 . The Fire Department has recommended the removal of the island/berm at the entrance driveway as the berm is in conflict with Section 13.208 of the Uniform Fire Code. While the proposal may be aesthetically more pleasing with the divided entryway, unless the Fire Department approves the safety aspects of the entry, the berm must be eliminated from the roadway and the roadway widened to an unobstructed 20 feet. Further, visibility for the turning movements from the driveway onto Monroe may be impaired by landscaping and the proximity of the island to the public right-of-way. Therefore, if the Fire Department approves the two 12-foot lanes, the berm must be designed subject to that approval so that it does not interfere with sight lines as approved by the Police and Traffic Engineering Departments. 12. The applicant has proposed that two storage structures be located on site as accessory structures to the multiple family units. The Zoning Code, Section 4-702(1 ) has defined an accessory use as a subordinate use customarily incident to the main use and located upon the same lot as the main use. The storage facilities are each approximately twenty feet wide by 80 to 90 feet long. As compared with the remainder of the proposal , they are clearly subordinate and serve an accessory use, namely, storage of personal property of residents of the project. Storage space, either in the form of a basement, attic, shed or cubicle, is customarily incident to residential uses and therefore the storage structures which the applicant has proposed should be permitted. The structures should be given the same outside appearance as the remainder of the structures and access to any unit of storage should be via an internal access rather than a series of separate external openings. 13. The entire landscaping plan including the proposed northerly and easterly buffers must be reviewed and approved by the city. e JAI • • I ''�•4 'o�� !•. ,•'�. °• •. .�1. .r•r.� kS/a,}{tj •j� • {••i.}+I- . ,Q it - ,•(.4!' .. . .4. 1°).3,4." �, •. _ 3 . • 1 .'.'J1,p�` .� • i , • ,, O , .•' \ ', C,• _- ••.a• ▪ ,'"`I.1 ties I I�' L1 „ • 11.4.... ; O• . . . 1 6 11 + ,A7 / • F 0 s;�,,• •,soncav-• \.,.-. {.. •�.,y,1a•,t•1-�....ry-.....•,..- ;....,��I .�oQ ..\ •�n.31 • • • I \!''- *, J- '- �� +j .: lJ} r3 .•,...-.0••'..d�lA •,,.r.lk• c-. .,.. .. . ---. 5 i...z. 7 ,E i Li_ . . • ti, L. ro,.cao..m ,3„...1.-., • • To . ,..• , .a jel ' ;' ;14'.t.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT PRELIMINARY REPORT TO THE HEARING EXAMINER PUBLIC HEARING: GERALD E. SCHNEIDER; SP-123-80 & R-124-80 DECEMBER 30, 1980 PAGE FOUR L. PLANNING DEPARTNENT ANALYSIS: • 1 . The proposed rezone and special permit generally complies with the Comprehensive Plan designation. 2. The proposal complies with the restrictive covenants filed under Zoning Ordinance #3293 which limited maximum development on the R-1 , R-2 , and R-3 portions to 180 units. 20 units are proposed in a single family residential plat leaving a maximum 160 units for the multiple family development. A total of 158 dwelling units are proposed. 3. The Police Department recommends that the applicant make all necessary improvements to Monroe Avenue N.E. to its full width including that one small portion in front of the single family residences fronting on Monroe Avenue at the northwest corner of the proposal. The specific improvement plan submitted to the Engineering Department include street improvements except for the extention of the sidewalk across the front of those properties. The Police Department also requests that the house numbers on the buildings be at least 12 inches high in contrasting colors for identification purposes. 4. The Engineering Division advises that the plans for both utilities and roadway improvements are approved by the Public Works Department and are subject to appropriate Systems Development charges. 5. . The Traffic Engineering Division of the Public Works Department has stated that it is necessary to require specific assessment based on trip generation of 20 dollars per site generated vehicle to supply necessary funds for traffic and transportation im- provements resulting from the project. 6. The Building Division has stated that storage buildings are not specifically allowed in a residential zone because they are not typically considered accessory in use. 7. The Fire Department has stated that the minimum fire flow for the project will be 3750 gallons per minute and that the following modifications to the site plan should be accomplished: A) Elimination of berm off of Monroe Avenue N.E. in the entry way to provide a 20 foot wide fire lane as required per the Uniform Fire Code Section 13. 208. B) Elimination of the crash through barrier at the east end of the project and replace it with a pad locked gate. C) All fire lanes must be paved of materials which support fire emergency equipment such as grass grid and shall meet specific Fire Department approval. D) Access roadways and fire hydrants are to be serviceable previous to building construction. 1' PLANNING DEPARTMENT PRELIMINARY REPORT TO THE HEARING EXAMINER PUBLIC HEARING: GERALD E.

IrOM;,i VNi I : 1 . Natural Systems : Conversion of the subject site to multiple family residential from undeveloped will disturb soils and vegetation, increase storm water runoff , and have an effect on traffic and noise levels in the area. However, through appropriate landscaping and screening, many of these impacts can be mitigated, while increasing the human activity on the site. 2. Population/Employment: The total proposal of 158 units will increase the area population by approxi- mately 400 persons. • 3. Schools : The subject proposal will increase the school population by approximately 40 students (2. 5 students per unit x 1.58 units) . These students are likely to be scattered throughout the grades and not significantly impact existing services. 4 . Social: Increased opportunities for social interaction will be available for the new residents of the proposed units. The community building, laundry and outdoor recreational facilities will provide focal points. 5. Traffic : The proposed complex will increase traffic in the area by approximately 950 trips per day (6 trips per unit x 158 units) . This will be routed on Monroe Avenue N.E. J.

Schneider, the property was rezoned into three separate horizontal strips: R-1, R-2, and R-3. In a replat of the property, the R-1 • land was designated as Tract 2, while the R-2 and R-3 zoned land was designated as Tract 1. The rezone of the property into the three zones was accomplished in Ordinance No. 3293, dated March 16, 1979. At the time of the rezone, a declaration of restrictive covenants was also prepared by the City and executed by the applicant limiting uses on the various zoned sectors of the property to those allowed in the respective R-1, R-2, and R-3 zones. A copy of those covenants is in the prior special permit file. In order to achieve a flexible and creative development on the property, the applicant requested a special permit to allow construction of apartments in the R-2 zoned area of the property. Although the City's administrative staff initially supported the application and did not notify the applicant of any difficulties in the design of the site, the staff report for the special permit, issued approximately four days prior to the public hearing, indicated that the placement of parking required for the R-3 area in the R-2 zone was impermissible, increasing the use and development intensity of the R-2 zone above that allowed for the property under the zoning ordinances of the City. (See page 4 of Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner, dated August 26, 1980, under Heading No. 2, ) This was the first the appli- cant had heard of any discrepancy in the parking requirement. Thus, although the Planning Department supported the proposal' s design and indicated that the design created the two-zone buffer between the R-2 and R-3 zones that was intended at the time of the rezone (,see page 4 o2 the above Preliminary Report, second paragraph of Heading No. 2) , the Department felt constrained to recommend disapproval because of this alleged nonconformance with the parking requirement. The applicant's next course of action was to request a variance from the strict requirements of the parking ordinance, as recommended by the Planning Department in the third paragraph of Heading No. 2 on page 4 of the above Prelimi- nary Report. The Hearing Examiner did not believe such a variance was permissible and consequently denied the request, ultimately dismissing the special permit application without prejudice. The Examiner, in a letter to Mr. Schneider dated September 16, 1980, recommended that the applicant either / r 1 • • LAW OFFICES OF HILLIS, PHILLIPS, CAIRNCROSS, CLARK & MARTIN GLENN J.AMSTER A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE CORPORATION H.RAYMOND CAIRNCROSS MARK S.CLARK 403 COLUMBIA STREET 623-1748 MARK R.HAMILTON AREA CODE 2Oe JEROME L.HILLIS SEATTLE,WASHINGTON 98104 • GEORGE A.KRESOVICH GEORGE W.MARTIN,JR.

' Municipal Building 200 Mill Avenue South • Renton, Washington 98055 Re: Schneider Construction Company, Inc./Proposed Rezone and Special Permit for Hilltop Apartments Dear Sirs: On behalf of Schneider Construction• Company, Inc. , we are submitting this supporting letter to accompany the enclosed applications for a special permit to allow develop- ment of the Hilltop Apartments and a rezone of two portions of the property from the current R-2 zoning to the R-3 zone to permit the necessary parking to accompany the proposal. Environmental Considerations The total proposal is the development of the Hilltop Apartments, as reflected in the site plan submitted with this application. The Hilltop Apartments development has already been the subject of a special permit application to the City• and has not changed in any material respect from that application. An environmental checklist was submitted with that special permit application (Checklist No. ECF 580-80) , and a Declaration of Non-Significance (DNS) was issued by the City on August 6, 1980, for Application No. SP 063-80. Because the project is still the same, we request concurrence by the .City in the prior environmental checklist and DNS already on record. Background of Proposal The property in question involves approximately 15 acres of land located on the east side of Monroe Avenue N.E. , approximately 600 feet north of N.E. 4th Street. At • Planning Department, City of Renton November 26, 1980 Page four It is submitted that both permitted private development and other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change since the last. previous land use analysis of the area zoning of the subject property, thus warranting the requested rezone. Parenthetically, it may be noted that the ordinance' s requirements that the applicant sustain his burden of proof in a rezone proceeding should not be as stiffly applied in a proceeding requesting an "upzone" (permitting more intensive use of property) than in a "downzone" of property. In Parkridge v. City of Seattle, 89 Wn.2d 454, 573 P.2d 359 (1978) , the Supreme Court declared that the burden of proof is on rezone proponents to show that a rezone bears a reasonable and substantial relationship to promotion of the public health, safety, morals, or general welfare. However, in Hayden v. City of Port Townsend, 93 Wn. 2d 870, 613 P.2d 1164 C1980) , the Court substantially narrowed the Parkridge requirement, observing that the rezone at issue in Parkridge was a downzone of property, rather than an upzone. The Court therefore noted that it is perhaps not necessary to scrutinize as meticulously the relationship between a rezone and the promotion of the public health, safety, and welfare when the restrictions on the use of one' s property are to be relaxed (pursuant to an upzone) as when the restrictions are being further circumscribed (through a downzone) . 93 Wn.2d at 877. The Examiner should thus take into account the differing burden of proof requirements in an upzone, as opposed to a downzone, in this case. It may also be briefly noted that there is initially a question whether any rezone at all is required in order to achieve the. uses desired by the. applicant under the proposed site plan. The only reason a rezone is requested is to allow necessary parking for the R-3 uses. Under the view of the Planning Department, parking for R-3 uses cannot be located in an R-2 zone. However, no provision of the Building Regulations prohibits such a situation. Section 4- 2204 (3) (A) (2) notes that parking for multi-family uses "may be on a contiguous lot" with the building they are required to serve, the clear implication being that they may also he on the same lot. In the present situation, all of the R-3 parking is on the same lot, since all of that parking is on Tract 1 of the site plan. The auxiliary parking requirements // Planning Department, City of Renton November 26, 1980 Page three file a petition to rezone the R-2 portion of the property to R -3 in order to resolve the parking discrepancy or file an application to develop a planned unit development Mao) . . Schneider Construction Company, Inc. (the developer of the property) , chose to submit an application for a planned unit development. It was only after the application was submitted, and as a result of conversations with planning staff, that it became evident that the intended density of the Hilltop Apartments project as shown on the site plan could not be achieved under the City's planned unit develop- ment ordinance. Schneider Construction Company, Inc. , has therefore chosen to suspend the PUD application and now requests a rezone of two portions of the site presently zoned R-2 to the R-3 classification in order to permit the parking on that property related to R-3 uses. The applicant is also submitting another special permit application in order to obtain the same approval originally applied for, if the requested rezone is granted. The applicant is willing to enter into a concomitant zoning agreement (contract rezone) which would limit uses of the rezoned property to parking only. Such an agreement would ensure that more intense R-3 uses would not intrude onto the adjacent R-2 property, in order to comply with the intent of the original rezone. The contract would thus simply allow the parking intended all along for the property at that location, since it is not the intent of this rezone application to achieve any higher density or uses different from those originally proposed on the Hilltop Apartments site plan. Justification for Requested Rezone Under Section 4-3014 (C) of the Building Regulations of the City of Renton, the Hearing Examiner must find, before a rezone may be granted, inter alia: (c) That since the last previous land use analysis of the area zoning of the subject property, author- ized public improvements, permitted private develop- ment or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. Planning Department, City_ of Renton November 26, 1980 Page six One remaining issue which may be raised is whether the requested rezone is in conformance with the restrictive covenants filed on the property in March 1979. It should be noted that this issue should not be a bar to a rezone, even if there were a violation of those covenants, since the City should not concern itself with private restrictions which burden a parcel of property. However, even if the issue is examined, it is evident that there would be no violation of these covenants in allowing the proposed rezone. The pertinent language of the covenants notes that "the remaining middle portion of the property shall be limited to uses allowed in the R-2 Residence District . . . . " Parking is a use allowed in the R-2 district, as it is in the R-3 district, and the fact that the parking would bp used for units located in the R-3 district to the south does not alter the fact that such parking is still a permitted use in the R-2 zone. The intent of this provision of the covenants is to ensure that more intense uses do not intrude into the R-2 portion of the property. The proposed parking at this location would not be any more intense than it would if it were R-2 parking, since the size of stalls is the same and the use of the land is the same. There is therefore no violation of this provision of the covenants, and it should not even enter into the decision of the Examiner and the City as to whether this property should be rezoned to permit that parking. In conclusion, we would hope that the proposed rezone would be granted, as well as the special permit. The intent of the rezone is to accomplish exactly what was intended in the last rezoning of this property to R-2 and R-3. It is purely because of technical (and, in our view, questionable) interpretations of Renton parking requirements that this rezone application has become necessary. In that light, it is submitted that the proposed rezone meets not only condition 1 (c) of Section 4-3014 (C) , but also meets condition 1 (a) of that section: That substantial evidence was presented demon- strating the subject reclassification appears not to have been specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning . . . . Planning Department, City of Renton November 26, 1980 Page five of Section 4-2204.(31 (C) do not even come into play unless "sufficient parking is not available on the premises of a use . . . . " We submit that since such parking is avail- able on the premises, immediately adjacent to the R-3 uses, no such rezone should be required. However, in order to eliminate any confusion and uncertainty in this situation, we are requesting the rezone reflected on the enclosed application. As noted above, we submit that circumstances affecting the subject property, as well as permitted private development, have undergone significant and material change since the previous land use analysis of the area zoning of the subject property. Those circumstances include the applicant's prior application for a special permit under this same site plan; its denial on the ground of nonconformity with parking requirements; the application for a variance from those requirements and its denial; and the application for a PUD and the subsequent revelation that the proposed density of this project would not be permissible under the PUD ordinance. Other circumstances affecting the subject property include the increased intensity of development in the vicinity. For example, the property immediately south of the R-3 portion of the Schneider Construction Company property is owned by Mike Maestro and is approximately 6 acres in size. That property is presently the subject of a pending building permit application before the City to develop 244 apartment units in five buildings. The intensity of this apartment development certainly justifies a very slight extension of the R-3 zone boundary slightly northward on the Schneider Construction Company property in order to accommodate parking associated with the R-3 development. That development will be in the form of four-plexes and six-plexes on the property, providing a good transition between this very intense apart- ment development to the south and the less intense R-2 and R-1 development to the north. Other circumstances could also be cited. . There i , for example, the continued increase in population in the City of Renton and the King County region in general, with the consequent increased demand for apartment housing, as well as housing of all types. The grant of this rezone wil]. help meet this continuing demand by permitting the development contemplated in the first place by the R-2 and R-3 rezones. .

The proposed development is a site-sensitive and creative approach to housing development at this location. It is far better than the kind of development which could be achieved if the R-3 parking must be moved south onto the present, R-3 portion of the property. Not only will a number of buildings have to be relocated, resulting in a loss of privacy aid loss of southerly exposure for these units, but a numb r of units would be dropped completely from the development; to no one's benefit. By limiting uses on the proposed reasoned property to parking, via a contract rezone, there can be no question that other undesirable and more intensive used would occur on the rezoned parcels. The proposed rezone will merely permit the kind of development contemplated by both the City and the applicant at the time the 1979 rezones to the property took place. We therefore believe that both the proposed rezones and the accompanying special permit should be granted. Ve tru 17 , I kir * .,, e 1 Richard R.

Environmental Considerations The total proposal is the development of the Hilltop Apartments, as reflected in the site plan submitted with this application. The Hilltop Apartments development has already been the subject of a special permit application to the City and has not changed in any material .respect from that application. An environmental checklist was submitted with that special permit application (Checklist No. ECF 580-80) , and a Declaration of Non-Significance (,DNS) was issued by the City on August 6 , 1980, for Application No. SP 063-80. Because the project is still the same, we request concurrence by the City in the prior environmental checklist and DNS already on record. Background of Proposal The property in question involves approximately 15 acres of land located on the east side of Monroe Avenue N.E. , approximately 600 feet north of N.E. 4th Street. At Planning Department, City of Renton November 26, 1980 Page two the request of the owner of record, Gerald E. Schneider, the property was rezoned into three separate horizontal strips: R-.1, R-2, and R-3. In a replat of the property, the R-1 land was designated as Tract 2, while the R-2 and R-3 zoned land was designated as Tract 1. The rezone of the property into the three zones was accomplished in Ordinance No. 3293, dated March 16, 1979. At the time of the rezone, a declaration of restrictive covenants was also prepared by the City and executed by the applicant limiting uses on the various zoned sectors of the property to those allowed in the respective R-1, R-2, and R-3 zones. A copy of those covenants is in the prior special permit file. In order to achieve a flexible and creative development on the property, the applicant requested a special permit to allow construction of apartments in the R-2 zoned area of the property. Although the City's administrative staff initially supported the application and did not notify the applicant of any difficulties in the design of the site, the staff report for the special permit, issued approximately four days prior to the public hearing, indicated that the placement of parking required for the R-3 area in the R-2 zone was impermissible, increasing the use and development intensity of the R-2 zone above that allowed for the property under the zoning ordinances of the City. (See page 4 of Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner, dated August 26, 1980, under Heading No. 2. ). This was the first the appli- cant had heard of any discrepancy in the parking requirement. Thus, although the Planning Department supported the proposal ' s design and indicated that the design created the two-zone buffer between the R-2 and R-3 zones that was intended at the time of the rezone (see page 4 of the above Preliminary Report, second paragraph of Heading No. 2) , the Department felt constrained to recommend disapproval because of this alleged nonconformance with the parking requirement. The applicant' s next course of action was to request a variance from the strict requirements of the parking ordinance, as recommended by the Planning Department in the third paragraph of Heading No. 2 on page 4 of the above Prelimi- nary Report. The Hearing Examiner did not believe such a variance was permissible and consequently denied the request, ultimately dismissing the special permit application without prejudice. The Examiner, in a letter to Mr. Schneider dated September 16, 1980, recommended that the applicant either Planning Department, City of Renton November 26, 1980 Page three file a petition to rezone the R-2 portion of the property to R-3 in order to resolve the parking discrepancy or file an application to develop a planned unit development (PUD)- . Schneider Construction Company, Inc. (the developer of the property)- , chose to submit an application for a planned unit development. It was only after the application was. submitted, and as a result of conversations with planning staff, that it became evident that the intended density of the Hilltop Apartments project as shown on the site plan could not be achieved under the City' s planned unit develop- ment ordinance. Schneider Construction Company, Inc. , has therefore chosen to suspend the PUD application and now requests a rezone of two portions of the site presently zoned R-2 to the R-3 classification in order to permit the parking on that property related to R-3 uses. The applicant is also submitting another special permit application in order to obtain the same approval originally applied for, if the requested rezone is granted. The applicant is willing to enter into a concomitant zoning agreement (contract rezone) which would limit uses of the rezoned property to parking only. Such an agreement would ensure that more intense R-3 uses would not intrude onto the adjacent R-2 property, in order to comply with the intent of the original rezone. The contract would thus simply allow the parking intended all along for the property at that location, since it is not the intent of this rezone application to achieve any higher density or uses different from those originally proposed on the Hilltop Apartments site plan. Justification for Requested Rezone Under Section 4-3014 (C). of the Building Regulations of the City of Renton, the Hearing Examiner must find, before a rezone may be granted, inter alia: (c). That since the last previous land use analysis of the area zoning of the subject property, author- ized public improvements, permitted private develop- ment or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. Planning Department, City of Renton November 26, 1980 Page four It is submitted that both permitted private development and other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change since the last previous land use analysis of the area zoning of the subject property, thus warranting the requested rezone. Parenthetically, it may be noted that the ordinance's requirements that the applicant sustain his burden of proof in a rezone proceeding should not be as stiffly applied in a proceeding requesting an "upzone" (permitting more intensive use of property) than in a "downzone" of property. In Parkridge v. City of Seattle, 89 Wn.2d 454, 573 P.2d 359 (-1978) , the Supreme Court declared that the burden of proof is on rezone proponents to show that a rezone bears a reasonable and substantial relationship to promotion of the public health, safety, morals, or general welfare. However, in Hayden v. City of Port Townsend, 93 Wn.2d 870, 613 P.2d 1164 (1980) , the Court substantially narrowed the Parkridge requirement, observing that the rezone at issue in Parkridge was a downzone of property, rather than an upzone. The Court therefore noted that it is perhaps not necessary to scrutinize as meticulously the relationship between a rezone and the promotion of the public health, safety, and welfare when the restrictions on the use of one' s property are to be relaxed (pursuant to an upzone) as when the restrictions are being further circumscribed (through a downzone) . 93 Wn.2d at 877. The Examiner should thus take into account the differing burden of proof requirements in an upzone, as opposed to a downzone, in this case. It may also be briefly noted that there is initially a question whether any rezone at all is required in order to achieve the uses desired by the applicant under the proposed site plan. The only reason a rezone is requested is to allow necessary parking for the R-3 uses. Under the view of the Planning Department, parking for R-3 uses cannot be located in an R-2 zone. However, no provision of the Building Regulations prohibits such a situation. Section 4- 2204 (3) (A) (2) notes that parking for multi-family uses "may be on a contiguous lot" with the building they are required to serve, the clear implication being that they may also be on the same lot. In the present situation, all of the R-3 parking is on the same lot, since all of that parking is on Tract 1 of the site plan. The auxiliary parking requirements Planning Department, City of Renton November 26, 1980 Page five of Section 4-2204 (3) (_C) do not even come into play unless "sufficient parking is not available on the premises of a use . . . . " We submit that since such parking is avail- able on the premises, immediately adjacent to the R-3 uses, no such rezone should be required. However, in order to eliminate any confusion and uncertainty in this situation, we are requesting the rezone reflected on the enclosed application. As noted above, we submit that circumstances affecting the subject property, as well as permitted private development, have undergone significant and material change since the previous land use analysis of the area zoning of the subject property. Those circumstances include the applicant' s prior application for a special permit under this same site plan; its denial on the ground of nonconformity with parking requirements; the application for a variance from those requirements and its denial; and the application for a PUD and the subsequent revelation that the proposed density of this project would not be permissible under the PUD ordinance. Other circumstances affecting the subject property include the increased intensity of development in the vicinity. For example, the property immediately south of the R-3 portion of the Schneider Construction Company property is owned by Mike Maestro and is approximately 6 acres in size. That property is presently the subject of a pending building permit application before the City to develop 244 apartment units in five buildings. The intensity of this apartment development certainly justifies a very slight extension of the R-3 zone boundary slightly northward on the Schneider Construction Company property in order to accommodate parking associated with the R-3 development. That development will be in the form of four-plexes and six-plexes on the property, providing a good transition between this very intense apart- ment development to the south and the less intense R-2 and R-1 development to the north. Other circumstances could also be cited. There is, for example, the continued increase in population in the City of . Renton and the King County region in general, with the consequent increased demand for apartment housing, as well as housing of all types. The grant of this rezone will help meet this continuing demand by permitting the development contemplated in the first place by the R-2 and R-3 rezones. Planning Department, City. of Renton November . 26, 1980 Page six One remaining issue which may be raised is whether the requested rezone is in conformance with the restrictive covenants filed on the property in March 1979. It should be noted that this issue should not be a. bar to a rezone, even if there were a violation of those covenants, since the City should not concern itself with private restrictions which burden a parcel of property. However, even if the issue is examined, it is evident that there would be no violation of these covenants in allowing the proposed rezone. The pertinent language of the covenants notes that "the remaining middle portion of the property shall be limited to uses allowed in the R-2 Residence District . . . . " Parking is a use allowed in the R-2 district, as it is in the R-3 district, and the fact that the parking would be used for units located in the R-3 district to the south does not alter the fact that such parking is still a permitted use in the R-2 zone. The intent of this provision of the covenants is to ensure that more intense uses do not intrude into the R-2 portion of the property. The proposed parking at this location would not be any more intense than it would if it were R-2 parking, since the size of stalls is the same and the use of the land is the same. There is therefore no violation of this provision of the covenants, and it should not even enter into the decision of the Examiner and the City as to whether this property should be rezoned to permit that parking. In conclusion, we would hope that the proposed rezone would be granted, as well as the special permit. The intent of the rezone is to accomplish exactly what was intended in the last rezoning of this property to R-2 and R-3 . It is purely because of technical (and, in our view, questionable) interpretations of Renton parking requirements that this rezone application has become necessary. In that light, it is submitted that the proposed rezone meets not only condition 1 (c) of Section 4-3014 (C) , but also meets condition 1 (a) of that section: That substantial evidence was presented demon- strating the subject reclassification appears not to have been specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning . . . . • Planning Department, City of Renton November 26, 1980 Page seven Certainly, the technical locational requirements of parking (the purpose of the subject rezone): were not considered at the time of the last area zoning or at the time this property was rezoned to R-2 and R-3, thus bolstering the argument that the proposed rezone is appropriate at this time.

Environmental Considerations The total proposal is the development of the Hilltop Apartments, as reflected in the site plan submitted with this application. The Hilltop Apartments development has already been the subject of a special permit application to the City and has not changed in any material respect from • that application. An environmental checklist was submitted with that special permit application ,(Checklist No. ECF 580-80) , and a Declaration of. Non-Significance (DNS) was issued by the City on August 6, 1980, for Application No. SP ' 063-80. Because the project is still the same, we request concurrence by the City in the prior environmental checklist and DNS already on record. Background of Proposal The property in question involves approximately 15 acres of land located on the east side of. Monroe Avenue N.E. , approximately 600 feet north of N.E. 4th Street. At Planning Department, City of Renton November 26, 1980 Page two the request of the owner of record, Gerald E. Schneider, the property was rezoned into three separate horizontal strips: R-1, R-2, and R-3. In a replat of the property, the R-1 land was designated as Tract 2, while the R-2 and R-3 zoned land was designated as Tract 1. The rezone of the property into the three zones was accomplished in Ordinance No. 3293, dated March 16, 1979. At the time of the rezone, a declaration of restrictive covenants was also prepared by the City and executed by the applicant limiting uses on the various zoned sectors of the property to those allowed in the respective R-1, R-2, and R-3 zones. A copy of those covenants is in the prior special permit file. In order to achieve a flexible and creative development on the property, the applicant requested a special permit to allow construction of apartments in the R-2 zoned area of the property. Although the City' s administrative staff initially supported the application and did not notify the applicant of any difficulties in the design of the site, the staff report for the special permit, issued approximately four days prior to the public hearing, indicated that the placement of parking required for the R-3 area in the R-2 zone was impermissible, increasing the use and development intensity of the R-2 zone above that allowed for the property under the zoning ordinances of the City. (See page 4 of Preliminary Report to the Hearing Examiner, dated August 26, 1980, under Heading No. 2. 1 This was the first the appli- cant had heard of any discrepancy in the parking requirement. Thus, although the Planning Department supported the proposal' s design and indicated that the design created the two-zone buffer between the R-2 and R-3 zones that was intended at the time of the rezone (see page 4 of the above Preliminary Report, second paragraph of. Heading No. 2) , the Department felt constrained to recommend disapproval because of this . alleged nonconformance with the parking requirement. The applicant's next course of action was to request a variance from the strict requirements of the parking ordinance, as recommended by the Planning Department in the third paragraph of Heading No. 2 on page 4 of the above Prelimi- nary Report. The Hearing Examiner did not believe such a variance was permissible and consequently denied the request, ultimately dismissing the special permit application without prejudice. The Examiner, in a letter to Mr. Schneider dated September 16, 1980, recommended that. the applicant either Planning Department, City of Renton November 26, 1980 Page three file a petition to rezone the R-2 portion of the property to R-3 in order to resolve the parking discrepancy or file an application to develop a planned unit development SPUD' . Schneider Construction°Company, Inc. (the developer of the property). , chose to submit an application for a planned unit development. It was only after the application was submitted, and as a result of conversations with planning staff, that it became evident that the intended density of the Hilltop Apartments project as shown on the site plan could not be achieved under the City' s planned unit develop- ment ordinance. Schneider Construction Company, Inc. , has therefore chosen to suspend the PUD application and now requests a rezone of two portions of the site presently zoned R-2 to the R-3 classification in order to permit the parking on that property related to R-3 uses. The applicant is also submitting another special permit application in order to obtain the same approval originally applied for, if the requested rezone is granted. The applicant is willing to enter into. a concomitant zoning agreement (contract rezone) which would limit uses of the rezoned property to parking only. Such an agreement would ensure that more intense R-3 uses would not intrude onto the adjacent R-2 property, in order to comply with the intent of the original rezone. The contract would thus simply allow the parking intended all along for the property at that location, since it is not the intent of this rezone application to achieve any higher density or uses different from those originally proposed on the Hilltop Apartments site plan. Justification for Requested Rezone Under Section 4-3014 (C). of the Building Regulations of ' the City of Renton, the Hearing Examiner must find, before a rezone may be granted, inter alia: (ci That since the last previous land use analysis of the area zoning of the subject property, ,author- ized public improvements, permitted private develop- ment or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. Planning Department, City of Renton November 26, 1980 Page four . It is submitted that both permitted private development and other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change since the last previous land use analysis of the area zoning of the subject property, thus warranting the requested rezone. Parenthetically, it may be noted that the ordinance's requirements that the applicant sustain his burden of proof in a rezone proceeding should not be as stiffly applied in a proceeding requesting an "upzone" (permitting more intensive use of property) than in a "downzone" of property. In Parkridge v. City of Seattle, 89 Wn.2d 454, 573 P.2d 359 (1978) , the Supreme Court declared that the burden of proof is on rezone proponents to show that a rezone bears a reasonable and substantial relationship to promotion of the public health, safety, morals, or general welfare. However, in Hayden v. City of Port Townsend, 93 Wn.2d 870, 613 P.2d 1164 (1980) , the Court substantially narrowed the Parkridge - requirement, observing that the rezone at issue in Parkridge was a downzone of property, rather than an upzone. The Court therefore noted that it is perhaps not necessary to scrutinize as meticulously the relationship between a rezone and the promotion of the public health, safety, and welfare when the restrictions on the use of one's property are to be relaxed (pursuant to an upzone) as when the restrictions are being further circumscribed (through a downzone) . 93 Wn.2d . . at 877... The. Examiner should thus take into account the differing burden of proof requirements in an upzone, as opposed to a downzone, in this case. . It may also be briefly noted that there is initially a question whether any rezone at all is required in order to achieve the uses desired by the applicant under the proposed site plan. The only reason. a rezone is requested is to allow necessary parking for the R-3 uses. Under the view of the Planning Department, parking for R-3 uses cannot be located in an R-2 zone. However, no provision of the Building Regulations prohibits .such a situation. Section 4- 2204.(3) (A) (2) notes that parking for multi-family uses "may be on a contiguous lot" with the building they are required to serve, the clear implication being that they may also be on the same lot. In the present situation, all of the R-3 parking is on the same lot, since all of that parking is on Tract 1 of the site plan. The auxiliary parking requirements Planning Department, City of Renton November 26, 1980 Page five of Section 4-2204.(31 (C) do not even come into play unless "sufficient parking is not available on the premises of a use . . " We submit that since such parking is avail- able on the premises, immediately adjacent to the R-3 uses, no such rezone should be required. However, in order to eliminate any confusion and uncertainty in this situation, we are requesting the rezone reflected on` the enclosed application. As noted above, we submit that circumstances affecting the subject property, as well as permitted private development, have undergone significant and material change since the previous land use analysis of the area zoning of the subject property. Those circumstances include the applicant' s prior application for a special permit under this same site plan; its denial on the ground of nonconformity with parking requirements; the application for a variance from those requirements and its denial; and the application for a PUD . and the subsequent revelation that the proposed density of this project would not be permissible under the PUD ordinance. . Other circumstances affecting the subject property include the increased intensity of development in the vicinity. For example, the property immediately south of the R-3 portion of the Schneider Construction Company property is owned by Mike Maestro and is approximately 6 acres in size. That property is presently the subject of a pending building permit application before the City to develop 244 apartment units in five buildings. The intensity of this apartment development certainly justifies a very slight extension of. the R-3 zone boundary slightly northward on the Schneider Construction Company property in order to accom►todate parking associated with the .R-3 development. That development will be in the form of four-plexes and six-plexes on the property, providing a good transition between this very intense apart- ment development to the south and the less intense R-2 and ' R-1 development to the north.. . Other circumstances could also be cited. .. There is, for example, the continued increase in population in. the City of Renton and the King County region in general,: with the consequent increased demand for apartment housing, as well as housing of all types. The grant of this rezone will help meet this continuing demand by permitting the development contemplated in the first place by the R-2 and .R-3. rezones. Planning Department, City. of Renton November 26, 1980 Page six One remaining issue which may be raised is whether the requested rezone is in conformance with the restrictive covenants filed on the property in March 1979. It should be noted that this issue should not be a bar to a rezone, even if there were a violation of those covenants, since the City should not concern itself with private restrictions which burden a parcel of property. However, even if the issue is examined, it is evident that there would be no violation of these covenants in allowing the proposed rezone. The pertinent language of the covenants notes that "the remaining middle _ portion of the property shall be limited to uses allowed in the R-2 Residence District, . . . . " Parking is a use allowed in the R-2 district, as it is in the R-3 district, and the fact that the parking would be used for units. _located in the R-3 district to the south does not alter the fact that such parking is still a permitted use in the R-2 zone. The intent of this provision of the covenants is to ensure that more intense uses do not intrude into the R-2 portion of the property. The proposed parking at this location would not be any more intense than it would if it were R-2 parking, since the size of stalls is the same and the use of the land is the same. There is therefore no violation of this provision of the covenants, and it should not even enter into the decision of the Examiner and the City as to whether this property should be rezoned to permit that parking. In conclusion, we would hope that the proposed rezone would be granted, as well as the special permit. The intent of the rezone is to accomplish, exactly what was intended in the last rezoning of this property to R-2 and R-3. It is purely because of technical (and, in our view, questionable) interpretations of Renton parking requirements that this rezone application has become necessary. In that light, it is submitted that the proposed rezone meets not only condition . 1 (c) of Section 4-3014 (C) , but also meets condition 1 (a) of ' that section: That substantial evidence was presented demon- strating the subject reclassification appears not to have been specifically considered at the time of the last area land use. analysis and area zoning . . . . Planning Department, City of Renton November 26, 1980. Page seven Certainly, the technical locational requirements of parking Ithe purpose of the subject rezone) were not considered at the time of the last area zoning or at the time this property was rezoned to R-2 and R-3, thus bolstering the argument that the proposed rezone is appropriate at this time. The proposed development is a site-sensitive and creative approach to housing development at this location. It is far better than the kind of development which could be achieved if the R-3 parking must be moved south onto the present R-3 portion of the property. Not only will a number of buildings have to be relocated, resulting in a loss of privacy and loss of southerly exposure for these units, but a number of units would be dropped completely from the development, to no one' s benefit. By limiting uses on the proposed rezoned property to parking, via a contract rezone, there can be no question that other undesirable and more intensive uses would occur on the rezoned parcels. The proposed rezone will merely permit the kind of development contemplated by both. the City and the applicant at the time the 1979 rezones to the property took place. We therefore believe that both the proposed rezones and the accompanying special permit should be granted. Ve tru s, • Richard R. Wilson RRW:ko Enclosure cc: Schneider Construction Company, Inc.
