ERC Report.doc LUAlZ- City of Renton Department of Commw , Economic Development 2012 Renton Municipal Code Title IV Docket, Group 8 Report of October 1, 2012 PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ BACKGROUND ... ,.;ironmental Review Committee Report LUA12-082, ECF Page 2 of4 1. #D-72: Footnotes Clean Up: Amend footnotes associated with the Zoning Use Table to delete unused footnotes, correct erroneous references, and reduce the number of footnotes while making the regulations more concise and user-friendly. 2. #D-78: Planning Near Pipelines: Include a new section of code to require a notice to be recorded on title alerting property owners that hazardous liquid and gas pipelines are located in the vicinity. This would apply to properties seeking land use or environmental permits for projects with large concentrations of people that are within 500 feet of such pipelines and 50 feet for single family residences. 3. #D-80: Street Lighting Manual: Update the City of Renton's Street Lighting Manual for residential and non-residential development. 4. #D-81: Undergrounding Ordinance: Update code to be consistent with current application and to remove unnecessary language. 5. #D-82: Vesting: Update vesting standards as it relates to current state law and case law, consolidate vesting regulations into one section of Title IV, and clearly identify what sections of Title IV are "development standards" subject to vesting and what sections are not development standards, and therefore are not subject to vesting law. 6. #D-83: Variance Decision Criteria: The existing code establishes an extremely high standard of review for variances. Consider lowering the standard of review to allow the City greater flexibility with respect to variance requests. 7. #D-84: Water Class Map: Amend Title IV Figure 4-3-050Q4 Water Class Map and replace the Water Class Map with a new map. Since Class 1 waters are regulated by the Shoreline Management Act and the City Shoreline Master Program, the new map will only show waters that are identified and regulated as Classes 2 to 4 waters/streams. 8. #D-85: Overlay Map: Amend Title IV to clear up conflicts and overlaps created by the adoption of various sections of code and maps overtime. Eliminate and reduce conflicting maps, amend the zoning overlay definitions to remove overlapping and conflicting overlay districts, and adopt new maps reflecting the redefined overlay districts: Zoning Districts (4-2-080A, B & Fl, Overlay Districts (4-3-100), Automall (4-3-040B & G), and Urban Design Districts (4-3-100}. 9. #D-86: Hearing Examiner Rules and Procedures: Consider powers of the Hearing Examiner, the nature of proceedings, common features and format of hearings, and content of the record. This is needed as guidance for staff, applicants, appellants, and the public to provide meaningful public input. This docket item was requested by the Hearing Examiner in order to provide Hearing Examiner Rules and Procedures within the Code, where currently none exist. 10. #D-87: Ham Radio Conditional Use Permit: Amend Title IV relative to the review process necessary for ham radio antennas to vary from standard residential zone height limits. The proposal would require only one permit (CUP) instead of two today. 11. #D-89: Administrative Code Interpretations: Amend Title IV based on recent administrative code interpretations. These decisions have already taken effect. This amendment process is part of the annual process by which the print version of the code is to be updated based on such decisions. Each interpretation has a public appeal period and is supplied with a background, justification, decision, and recommended code amendment. New code interpretations to add to the municipal code are: Cl-31, Temporary Use Permit Extensions; Cl- 30, Applicable to calculation of residential density for projects with multiple zoning classifications when proposed as part of a Planned Urban Development; Cl-28, Closed Record ERC Report.doc LUA12- City of Renton Deportment of Commu, Economic Development 2012 Renton Municipal Cade Title IV Docket, Group 8 Report of October 1, 2012 .... ,.tironmental Review Committee Report LUA12-082, ECF Page 3 of 4 Appeals to City Council; Cl-27, Clarification of conditions necessary for "drive-in/drive-through, retail" uses such as coffee stands to be allowed as "accessory uses" in the IL, IM, IH, CN, and CA Zones; Cl-25, Permissibility of adding macro and mini facility antennas to existing conforming wireless support structures as an outright permitted use; Cl-24, Permissible zones for limousine service; Cl-23, Clarification of the expiration period for the Hawk's Landing Master Site Plan approved by the Hearing Examiner on September 10, 2009. City File number LUA09-060, ECF, SA-M, SA-H; Cl-22, Requirement for Submittal of a Floodplain Habitat Assessment (also known as a "Biological Assessment" or "Critical Areas Study") and Mitigation Report for projects located within the floodplain that is consistent with the FEMA 2010 Floodplain Habitat Assessment and Mitigation Regional Guidance); Cl-21, Clarification of sign allowances for existing legally non-conforming businesses that are located within residential zones. 12. #D-90: King County Transfer of Development Rights and lnterlocal Agreements: Pursue policy and regulatory changes that would limit the authority of King County to utilize TDRs within the City's PAA when inconsistent with the City's planning and zoning for the area. 13. #D-91: Accessory Dwelling Units Review: Review Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) standards with examples of ADUs built since code changes allowing them. Amend code to limit size of ADU's by maximum square footage and percentage of primary unit, as well as maximum lot coverage. 14. #D-92: Hotel in the Commercial Office: Remove the footnote that restricts hotels in the CO zone if the site is located in the Employment Area Valley land use designation. 15. #D-93: Redevelopment and Existing Structures: Requires existing structures in the R-10 and R· 14 zones to meet the Residential Design Guidelines if they are included as part of a new development. Includes a handful of changes to the Residential Design Guidelines standards for clarification and consistency of application. 16. #D-94: Technical Amendments: Improve consistency in the code, tie up loose-ends of other code amendments, ensure compliance with state law, and make other superficial changes. These changes do not reflect any changes in policy or procedure. This is a collection of 11 separate items that include: clean-up of refund provisions for land use fees; consistent use of the terms "adjacent" and "abutting"; provisions for mobile and manufactured homes consistent with state law; use of a consistent term to define CED authority; definitions of construction and demolition waste consistent with state law; codification of doggy daycare rules from an administrative interpretation; clean-up of the application of design guidelines for site plan review; clarification of appeal provisions for major plat amendments; allowing planned urban development approvals to be extended with the underlying plat approval; clarifying the timing of appeals; clarifying when landscaping is installed for final plats. I PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW In compliance with RCW 43.21C.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations. A.

My appointment expires:---------- PROJECT NARRATIVE Project Description and Location: 2012 RMC Title IV -Docket 8. Location is Citywide for applicability of all items. General descriptions for each item: #D-72: Footnotes Clean Up: Amend footnotes associated with the Zoning Use Table to delete unused footnotes, correct erroneous references, and reduce the number of footnotes while making the regulations more concise and user-friendly. #D-78: Planning Near Pipelines: Include a new section of code to require a notice to be recorded on title alerting property owners that hazardous liquid and gas pipelines are located in the vicinity. This would apply to properties seeking land use or environmental permits for projects with large concentrations of people that are within 500 feet of such pipelines and 50 feet for single family residences. #D-80: Street Lighting Manual: Update the City of Renton's Street Lighting Manual for residential and non-residential development. #D-81: Undergrounding Ordinance: Update code to be consistent with current application and to remove unnecessary language. #D-82: Vesting: Update vesting standards as it relates to current state law and case law, consolidate vesting regulations into one section of Title IV, and clearly identify what sections of Title IV are "development standards" subject to vesting and what sections are not development standards, and therefore are not subject to vesting law. #D-83: Variance Decision Criteria: The existing code establishes an extremely high standard of review for variances. Consider lowering the standard of review to allow the City greater flexibility with respect to variance requests. #D-84: Water Class Map: Amend Title IV Figure 4-3-0SOQ4 Water Class Map and replace the Water Class Map with a new map. Since Class 1 waters are regulated by the Shoreline Management Act and the City Shoreline Master Program, the new map will only show waters that are identified and regulated as Classes 2 to 4 waters/streams. #D-85: Overlay Map: Amend Title IV to clear up conflicts and overlaps created by the adoption of various sections of code and maps overtime. Eliminate and reduce conflicting maps, amend the zoning overlay definitions to remove overlapping and conflicting overlay districts, and adopt new maps reflecting the redefined overlay districts: Zoning Districts (4-2-080A, B & F), Overlay Districts (4-3-100), Automall (4-3-0408 & G), and Urban Design Districts (4-3-100). #D-86: Hearing Examiner Rules and Procedures: Consider powers of the Hearing Examiner, the nature of proceedings, common features and format of hearings, and content of the record. This is needed as guidance for staff, applicants, appellants, and the public to provide meaningful public input. This docket item was requested by the Hearing Examiner in order to provide Hearing Examiner Rules and Procedures within the Code, where currently none exist. #D-87: Ham Radio Conditional Use Permit: Amend Title IV relative to the review process necessary for ham radio antennas to vary from standard residential zone height limits. The proposal would require only one permit (CUP) instead of two (CUP and height variance) today, and would clarify exemptions. #D-89: Administrative Code Interpretations: Amend Title IV based on recent administrative code interpretations. These decisions have already taken effect. This amendment process is part ofthe annual process by which the print version ofthe code is to be updated based on such decisions. Each interpretation has a public appeal period and is supplied with a background, justification, decision, and recommended code amendment. New code interpretations to add to the municipal code are: o Cl-31, Temporary Use Permit Extensions o Cl-30, Applicable to calculation of residential density for projects with multiple zoning classifications when proposed as part of a Planned Urban Development. o Cl-28, Closed Record Appeals to City Council. o Cl-27, Clarification of conditions necessary for "drive-in/drive-through, retail" uses such as coffee stands to be allowed as "accessory uses" in the IL, IM, IH, CN, and CA Zones. o Cl-25, Permissibility of adding macro and mini facility antennas to existing conforming wireless support structures as an outright permitted use. o Cl-24, Permissible zones for limousine service. o Cl-23, Clarification of the expiration period for the Hawk's Landing Master Site Plan approved by the Hearing Examiner on September 10, 2009. City File number LUA09-060, ECF, SA-M, SA-H. o Cl-22, Requirement for Submittal of a Floodplain Habitat Assessment (also known as a "Biological Assessment" or "Critical Areas Study") and Mitigation Report for projects located within the floodplain that is consistent with the FEMA 2010 Floodplain Habitat Assessment and Mitigation Regional Guidance) o Cl-21, Clarification of sign allowances for existing legally non-conforming businesses that are located within residential zones. #D-90: King County Transfer of Development Rights and lnterlocal Agreements: Pursue policy and regulatory changes that would limit the authority of King County to utilize TDRs within the City's PAA when inconsistent with the City's planning and zoning for the area. #D-91: Accessory Dwelling Units Review: Review Accessory Dwelling Units (AD Us) standards with examples of ADUs built since code changes allowing them. Amend code to limit size of ADU's by maximum square footage and percentage of primary unit, as well as maximum lot coverage. #D-92: Hotel in the Commercial Office: Remove the footnote that restricts hotels in the CO zone if the site is located in the Employment Area Valley land use designation. #D-93: Redevelopment and Existing Structures: Requires existing structures in the R-10 and R- 14 zones to meet the Residential Design Guidelines if they are included as part of a new development. Includes a handful of changes to the Residential Design Guidelines standards for clarification and consistency of application. #D-94: Technical Amendments: Improve consistency in the code, tie up loose-ends of other code amendments, ensure compliance with state law, and make other superficial changes. These changes do not reflect any changes in policy or procedure. This is a collection of 11 separate items that include: o clean-up of refund provisions for land use fees o consistent use of the terms "adjacent" and "abutting" o provisions for mobile and manufactured homes consistent with state law o use of a consistent term to define CED authority o definitions of construction and demolition waste consistent with state law o codification of doggy daycare rules from an administrative interpretation o clean-up of the application of design guidelines for site plan review o clarification of appeal provisions for major plat amendments o allowing planned urban development approvals to be extended with the underlying plat approval o clarifying the timing of appeals o clarifying when landscaping is installed for final plats. PLANNING DIVISION ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: City of Renton Planning Division 1055 South Grady Way-Renton, WA 98057 Phone: 425-430-7200 Fax: 425-430-7231 The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies tan assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). For nonproject actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs), the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively. -1 -06109 H:\CEO\Planning\Title IV\Docket\Docket Group 8\SEPA\Environment Checklist.doc A.
