Page 2 of 3
D-116 Residential Building Height: Code will restrict the height of wall plates from the average
grade of the site, the height of a roof measured from the wall plate, and the number of allowed
stories in a building within residential zones (RC through RMF). There will be some conditional
exceptions provided for shed -style roofs, building modulations, and roof -top features built upon
roofs with a pitch less than 4:12.
D-117 Density Bonuses: Code will continue to offer bonus density for Assisted Living Facilities, but
the minimum age requirement of 55 years will be rescinded. Bonus density provisions for all other
residential development will be expanded to offer a 30% bonus in the R-14, RMF, CD, UC, CO, COR
and CV zones, yet bonus density will only be permitted in exchange for affordable dwelling units.
Each affordable dwelling unit provided will permit one market -rate dwelling unit, up to the
maximum bonus allowed.
D-119 Frontage Improvements: Code will require that any funds collected as a fee -in -lieu for
frontage improvements are spent within the Community Planning Area where the subject
development is located.
D-120 Public Meetings and Signs: Code will require Public Information Signs for most Type II and
Type III land use permits, with exceptions for certain permits that are typically uncontroversial.
Applicants of preliminary plats, Planned Urban Developments, and projects with a monetary value
of $10M of more will be required to facilitate a Neighborhood Meeting prior to submitting an
application, and provide a Public Outreach Sign as part of a complete application and remain
erected until an Occupancy Permit (temporary or not) is issued. The construction or alteration of
public facilities, the construction or alteration of airplane manufacturing facilities, and
development within the Employment Area Land Use Designation shall be exempt from
Neighborhood Meetings and Public Outreach Signs.
D-121 Downtown Business District: Code will be revised to correct a discrepancy between two
codified maps of the "Pedestrian District" by establishing one map of the Downtown Business
District.
D-122 Impact Fee Deferral: Code will allow school impact fees to be deferred, allow fees to be
deferred until the earlier of 18 months or at closing, and set a limit of 20 deferrals per year.
D-123 Setbacks in Commercial Zones: Code will establish the minimum and maximum front and
side yard along -a -street setbacks to be 15' and 20' respectively in the CN, CV, and CA zones, and
render all setbacks in the UC zone "to be determined through Site Plan Review."
D-124 Plans: Plans adopted by reference within Title IV of Renton Municipal Code were reviewed
for relevancy and consistency with other City plans and policies. Plans determined to no longer be
relevant or to be inconsistent with other City plans policies will be rescinded from Title IV.
D-126 Administrative Code Interpretations: Seventeen Administrative Code Interpretations are
anticipated to be adopted that will eliminate contradictory and ambiguous language. These
interpretations pertain to: requiring Title Reports for certain land use actions; making a side yard
along -a -street setback inapplicable to shared driveways; removing contradictory sign code located
within the Shoreline Master Program; established a 60 -day review period for all minor alterations
to wireless towers; clarified the dimensions of landscape screening of wireless tower compounds;
the minimum front yard for alley -accessed garages; the allowed fence height for wide yards along -
a -street and rear yards abutting a street; fence heights requiring a building permit; underground
utilities exemption process; CD Zone landscaping and bicycle parking requirements; residential

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
pians 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 can 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.

New and revised regulations/standards are proposed that pertain to building height in
residential zones, density bonuses, frontage improvements, public information signs and
outreach in regards to land use applications, mapping the Downtown Business District,
impact fee deferrals, setbacks in commercial zones, assessing the need of plans adopted
by reference, and a wide range Title IV sections where contradictory and/or ambiguous
language has been identified to be corrected via Administrative Code interpretations.
it is anticipated that city code will be amended to:
D-116 Residential Building Height: Code will restrict the height of wall plates from the
average grade of the site, the height of a roof measured from the wall plate, and the
-2-
number of allowed stories in a building within residential zones (RC through RMF). There
will be some conditional exceptions provided for shed -style roofs, building modulations,
and roof -top features built upon roofs with a pitch less than 4:12.
D-117 Density Bonuses: Code will continue to offer bonus density for Assisted Living
Facilities, but the minimum age requirement of 55 years will be rescinded. Bonus density
provisions for all other residential development will be expanded to offer a 30% bonus in
the R-14, RMF, CD, UC, CO, COR and CV zones, yet bonus density will only be permitted in
exchange for affordable dwelling units. Each affordable dwelling unit provided will
permit one market -rate dwelling unit, up to the maximum bonus allowed.
D-119 Frontage Improvements: Code will require that any funds collected as a fee -in -lieu
for frontage improvements are spent within the Community Planning Area where the
subject development is located.
D-120 Public Meetings and Signs: Code will require Public information Signs for most
Type lI and Type iii land use permits, with exceptions for certain permits that are
typically uncontroversial. Applicants of preliminary plats, Planned Urban Developments,
and projects with a monetary value of $10M of more will be required to facilitate a
Neighborhood Meeting prior to submitting an application, and provide a Public Outreach
Sign as part of a complete application and remain erected until an Occupancy Permit
(temporary or not) is issued. The construction or alteration of public facilities, the
construction or alteration of airplane manufacturing facilities, and development within
the Employment Area Land Use Designation shall be exempt from Neighborhood
Meetings and Public Outreach Signs.
D-121 Downtown Business District: Code will be revised to correct a discrepancy between
two codified maps of the "Pedestrian District" by establishing one map of the Downtown
Business District.
D-122 impact Fee Deferral: Code will allow school impact fees to be deferred, ollow fees
to be deferred until the earlier of 18 months or at closing, and set a limit of 20 deferrals
per year.
D-123 Setbacks in Commercial Zones: Code will establish the minimum and maximum
front and side yard along -a -street setbacks to be 15' and 20' respectively in the CN, CV,
and CA zones, and render all setbacks in the UC zone "to be determined through Site
Plan Review."
D-124 Plans: Plans adopted by reference within Title iV of Renton Municipal Code were
reviewed for relevancy and consistency with other City plans and policies. Plans
determined to no longer be relevant or to be inconsistent with other City plans policies
will be rescinded from Title IV.
D-126 Administrative Code interpretations: Seventeen Administrative Code
Interpretations are anticipated to be adopted that will eliminate contradictory and
ambiguous language. These interpretations pertain to: requiring Title Reports for
certain land use actions; making a side yard along -a -street setback inapplicable to
shared driveways, removing contradictory sign code located within the Shoreline Master
Program; established a 60 -day review period for all minor alterations to wireless towers;
clarified the dimensions of landscape screening of wireless tower compounds, the
minimum front yard for alley -accessed garages, the allowed fence height for wide yards
along -a -street and rear yards abutting a street; fence heights requiring a building
permit; underground utilities exemption process; CD Zone landscaping and bicycle
parking requirements; residential building height (RC thru RMF); wireless communication
facility regulations; distinguishing tracts from lots during subdivision review; RMF yard
-3-
setbacks, Wireless Communication Facility Minor Alteration criteria, and fee in lieu of
street improvements.

D. SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS
(These sheets should only be used for actions involving decisions on policies, plans and
programs. You do not need to fill out these sheets for project actions.
Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction
with the list of the elements of the environment.
When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal or the types of
activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity
or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in
general terms.
How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air;
production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of
noise?
The proposed regulations will likely not increase, release, produce, or facilitate the
storage of hazardous substances, noise, and discharges or emissions into water or air.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: Mitigation will be
determined at the time of a project- specific proposal.
2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life?
The proposed regulations are not likely to adversely affect plants, animals, fish, or
marine life.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: N/A
for the proposal. Mitigation would be determined at the time of a project- specific
proposal.
3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources?
D-116, Residential Building Height, and D-117, Density Bonuses, may result in increased
livable areas within future development, which may result in more energy usage than
would otherwise occur. However, the effect would likely be marginal and therefore
proposed regulations will Iikelyh not hhve ate rmprrct'-on the consumption of energy or
natural resources.
Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: Mitigation
would be determined at the time of a specific.project proposal.
4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or
areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks,
wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or
cultural sites, wetlands, flood plains, or prime farmlands?
The proposed regulations will likely not have a detrimental effect on environmentally
sensitive areas or areas designated for governmental protection.
Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are:
Mitigation would be determined at the time of a specific project proposal.
How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it
would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans?
The proposed regulations will likely have no effect on shoreline use. Any effects on land
use will be compatible with existing plans.
Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: Mitigation
would be determined at the time of a specific project proposal.
5. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public
services and utilities?
The proposed regulations will likely have no significant effect on transportation or public
services and utilities.
Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: Mitigation would be
determined at the time of a specific project proposal.
7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws
or requirements for the protection of the environment.
No conflicts have been identified.
