PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review for non-project item: Clean Economy Strategy (CES) 2.0 Adoption. The Clean Economy Strategy 2.0 is designed to serve as a roadmap of local policies to reduce Renton’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, enhance environmental sustainability, and prepare for climate change while maintaining and building a strong economy. The update responds to changing conditions, including significant population growth and new regional and state environmental policies. The document’s two (2) overarching objectives are to: 1. Build resilience among communities and natural systems to better prepare Renton for climate impacts, including extreme weather events; and 2. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions among City and community operations, and introduce new sustainability practices.
The document includes 32 detailed actions across five (5) focus areas; Transportation and Land Use, Buildings and Energy,
Consumption and Materials Management, Water and Natural Systems, and Community Resilience and Well-Being.
Implementing the strategies and actions recommended by the CES 2.0 will support the creation of local green jobs, public
health benefits, safer walking and biking routes, more accessible transit, long-term energy cost savings and a more
resilient energy grid, and stronger emergency management systems.
Per WAC197-11-340(2)(c) any person, affected tribe, or agency may submit comments to the City within fourteen
days of the date of issuance of the DNS.
Appeals of the environmental determination must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 p.m. on November 6, 2023.
Appeals must be submitted electronically to the City Clerk at cityclerk@rentonwa.gov or delivered to City Hall 1st floor
