NOTICE OF APPLICATION
AND PROPOSED DETERMINATION OF NON-
SIGNIFICANCE (DNS)
DATE: October 2, 2006
LAND USE NUMBER: LUA06-121, ECF
APPLICATION NAME: Highlands R-10 Zoning Text Amendments
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This proposed change to the zoning regulations makes three major changes:
1) It enacts design regulations for the Highlands Subarea
2) It requires the standard 5,000 sq. ft. lot size for detached dwelling unit development in the Highlands R-10 zone
3) It requires that those who develop or redevelop their properties in the Highlands R-10 zone to remove the existing
structures.
The purpose of these changes is to provide for high quality re-development with efficient land use patterns in the
Highlands without the implementation of other Comprehensive Plan Amendments or rezoning property. There will also be
minor, ancillary changes to the areas subject to the current design regulations, in districts A, B, and C.
PROJECT LOCATION: The zoning code amendment would affect development in the Highlands Subarea located
both north and south of NE Sunset Boulevard between Edmonds Ave NE and Monroe
Ave NE.
OPTIONAL DETERMINATION OF NON-SIGNIFICANCE (DNS): As the Lead Agency, the City of Renton has
determined that significant environmental impacts are unlikely to result from the proposed zoning. Therefore, as permitted
under the RCW 43.21C.110, the City of Renton is using the Optional DNS process to give notice that a DNS is likely to be
issued. Comment periods for the project and the proposed DNS are integrated into a single comment period. There will
be no comment period following the issuance of the Threshold Determination of Non-Significance (DNS). A 14-day
appeal period will follow the issuance of the DNS.
