RJB:JMS:dm tki " 1:2- , , January 19, 1982 OFFICE OF THE LAND USE HEARING EXAMINER CITY OF RENTON REPORT AND DECISION. APPELLANT: Robert Schumacher FILE NO. ECF-107-81 R-086-81 ) LOCATION: Vicinity of 223 Garden Avenue North. SUMMARY OF APPEAL: An appeal by Robert Schumacher of a Final Declaration of Significance issued by the Environmental Review Committee ERC) for property proposed for rezone from R-2 to R-3. SUMMARY OF DEICION: The determination of the Environmental Review Committee is affirmed. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the letter of appeal , 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 January 12, 1982 at 9:30 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The public hearing process for appeals of environmental determinations made by the Environmental Review Committee was explained by the Examiner, and he noted that the issue is not whether a rezone should or should not be granted but rather whether the city has carried out its responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act in determining whether the proposal will have more than a moderate effect on the environment, and if so, whether an Environmental Impact Statement should be prepared for the project. Testimony by ,the appellant 's representative was then requested. Responding was: Steve Swank P.O. Box 66772 Seattle, WA 98166 Mr. Swank submitted a letter from the appellant, Mr. Schumacher, who was unable to attend the public hearing, which stated his objections to required preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement. The letter and additional information was entered into the record as follows by the Examiner: Exhibit #1 : Appeal File containing pertinent documents CITY OF RENTON including letter to Hearing Examiner from Warren F. Vaupel , January 11 , 1982, J A N 1 9 1982 indicating concern about property zoning POCKYin light of reversionary zoning action of DVALOPMENTMIT the city Exhibit #2: Letter to Hearing Examiner from L. Robert Schumacher, dated January 5, 1982 Referencing the concern of the Environmental Review Committee regarding adequacy of sewer and storm drainage utilities, Mr. Swank advised that a representative of the Public Works Department had informed him that an eight inch sewer line exists adjacent to the subject site according to a commissioned study in 1968. The storm drainage facilities are available but must be extended to the south into the N. 3rd Street system on the northern side of the road, and Mr. Swank stated the applicant's intent to meet design standards required by the city. Referencing the concern regarding land use in the area, it was noted that the property designation on the Comprehensive Plan is R-3 Medium Density Multifamily) and similar rezones from R-2 to a higher density have been granted by the city in the past. Cited were Ordinance No. 3228 on Factory Avenue N. , and Ordinances No. 3551 and 3370 on Pelly Avenue N. Mr. Swank observed that the city's past rezone practices in the area should support approval of the requested rezone to R-3 of the subject property. Potential noise from increased development was raised by Mr. Swank, who stated the applicant's willingness to restrict construction activity to daytime hours between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to prevent disturbance to neighbors. He described the current state of disrepair of the existing residence on site and expressed his belief that construction of a new nine-unit apartment structure with appropriate landscaping would enhance and upgrade the site and create no additional environmental impact to the surrounding area. Recreational facilities would be supplied by Liberty Park, located ECF-107-81 Page Two approximately three to five minutes from the subject property. Mr. Swank concluded his comments by stating the applicant 's willingness to discuss the possibility of execution of restrictive covenants with the city and adjacent neighbors to assure appropriate design of the building or reduce the number of proposed units. He objected on the basis of cost to preparation of an EIS for a site containing only one-third of an acre, and suggested that a partial instead of a full EIS may provide sufficient information. The Examiner requested testimony in support of the appeal . There was no response. He then invited testimony by a member of the ERC, David Clemens, Policy Development Director. Mr. Clemens designated the location of the subject site north of Bronson Way on Garden Avenue N. between N. 2nd and N. 3rd Street in an area currently zoned R-2. Although research has not yet confirmed the legal zoning categories, in reference to the letter from Mr. Vaupel , available records suggest that rezones referred to by the applicant 's representative were from the R-2 district to some higher zone. Mr. Clemens described adjoining uses of single family to the north and south, a duplex on the east side of Garden with remaining lots single family, a duplex at the corner of 2nd and Garden, multifamily dwellings at the southwest corner of 3rd and Garden but the remainder of the block, particularly lots adjoining, are single family residentially developed. The submitted site plan, he advised, indicates a structure which would be located very close to the south property line meeting minimum setback standards for the R-3 zone, and would contain two stories over parking or a three story structure. Mr. Clemens discussed concerns of the Environmental Review Committee regarding the design configuration of the building, inadequate capacity of storm drainage and sewer utilities, noise impact from construction phases as well as normal living activities, overcrowding of the neighborhood, and increased traffic from the proposal . He also noted that the current density of housing on the block will increase by nearly one-third upon construction of the development, and approval of the rezone would set a precedent for future actions in the area. Also discussed were the intrusion of the proposal in the middle of a single family residentially developed neighborhood, visual impacts, and shading of the properties to the north of the structure. Recreational aspects are also a concern of the ERC due to spillover effects from the proposal onto neighboring lots. Mr. Clemens concluded by stating that the ERC had taken into consideration other rezones in the area, but the ordinances cited by the appellant 's representative were not current . He then invited testimony by a second member of the ERC, Richard Houghton, Public Works Director. Mr. Houghton stated that while there is no question that staff in the Public Works Department had provided information to the applicant regarding the location and possible extension of utility lines in the area, the concern of the ERC is whether lines are adequately sized to accommodate additional effluence introduced by the proposal . Downstream capacity of storm drains is unknown and water mains in the vicinity would not provide necessary fire flow for a three-story, nine-unit apartment building. In the past, a blanket rezone had been granted for the area north of the Cedar River to N. 6th Street and from Logan Avenue easterly to I-405 without appropriate consideration given to the capacity of utilities in the area. The residential ne i ghbPS1'hlo6d'was Q4el1 oped in the 1900's, and sanitary sewers introduced in the 1920's were sized to handl.e ,existing single family residential use. Since that time, an increasing volume of indiltrialization has occurred in the area as well as a recent change to multifamily development which tax existing systems. Mr. Houghton supported preparation of an EIS to 'd'dteYMftre' tha.downstream capacity of the utilities and the precise impacts of the proposal upon the existing neighborhood. Responding to earlier comments provided by Mr. Clemens regarding the dates of previous rezones in the area, Mr. Swank clarified that Ordinance No. 3551 , Woodcock rezone which granted approval of R-2 to R-3 zoning on Pelly Avenue N. , was approved on June 12, 1981 . The Examiner requested further testimony in opposition to the appeal . Responding was: Dixon Long 131 Garden Avenue N. Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Long expressed objection to approval of a three-story building in the center of a single family residential block. He recalled that the Planning Commission had studied the north Renton area in the past one and one-half years with the intent to stabilize the area into single family use as much as possible with the aid of federal block grant funds. He noted that many older homes have been upgraded with the aid of the funding, and the community supports continuation of the program. Also discussed was the projection in the mid-1950's that the area would undergo a transition to light industrial or business use, and it was noted that such a transition has not occurred. Mr. Long indicated concern with capacity of utilities, particularly water pressure, since it appears serious doubt exists regarding whether lines can accommodate increased development. ECF-107-81 Page Three Responding was: Ralph Robertson 235 Garden Avenue N. Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Robertson inquired regarding proposed egress from the site. Mr. Clemens explained that the submitted design indicates driveway access onto Garden Avenue N. Mr. Robertson stated his opinion that congestion would result on that street if the development is approved as submitted. Responding was: Ted Gatz 210 Garden Avenue N. Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Gatz, adjacent resident to the site as well as owner of a business located at 200 Park Avenue N. , advised similar concerns regarding on-street parking, overcrowding from multifamily dwellings, and utilities, particularly water pressure. He related experiencing pressure problems in the past, expressed concern regarding fire flow, and inquired regarding location of fire hydrants. Responding was: Howard Keene 227 Garden Avenue N. Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Keene, resident located directly north of the proposed rezone, discussed the shading effect of a three-story complex, noting that the existing single family home on the site currently shades his property two to three months each year throughout the winter. If the height of the building is doubled, shading will occur on his property five to six months out of the year which he felt was totally unacceptable. Other factors which were discussed were increased noise, traffic, loss of privacy, air pollution, and possible irresponsible tenants. Mr. Keene indicated that the current value of his home would be reduced by half if the proposal were allowed, and he supported reconstruction of another single family residence on the site in lieu of the proposed multifamily complex. Responding to Mr. Long' s comments, Mr. Clemens confirmed that the Central Area Committee of the Planning Commission is continuing to review the north and south Renton areas and the remainder of the central area to ensure stabilization of existing single family residential development. Mr. Robertson testified that the area behind the subject property currently being utilized as an alley is a five foot walkway according to City of Renton records, and the plat maps show the deep lots at 280 feet in depth when they are actually 275 feet deep. The Examiner requested final comments. Since there were none, the hearing was closed at 9:57 a.m. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1 . The appellant, Robert Schumacher, applied to reclassify approximately one-third acre of property from its current R-2 (Duplex Residential ) classification to R-3 (Medium Density Multifamily Residential ) . The Environmental Review Committee (ERC) , after its required environmental analysis determined that the proposal would have an adverse impact on the quality of the environment and issued a positive Declaration of Signifiance (DS) . The positive declaration requires the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) . Pursuant to Section 4-3011 (B) , the appellant filed this appeal and a public hearing was held on January 12, 1982. 2. The subject property is located in the vicinity of 223 Garden Avenue N. , just north of the central business district of downtown Renton. The property is located on the west side of the street and is one of a series of lots in this area which are about 280 feet deep. An alley runs to the rear of the subject property. 3. The appellant proposed constructing a nine-unit apartment on the subject site after removal of the existing single family home from the site. 4. The sewer and water lines in the area are described as antiquated, and the ability and capacity of these lines to carry additional loads is unknown. The lines were ECF-107-81 Page Four placed in the area prior to the large industrial expansion north of the subject area and were originally sized to provide service to the existing single family neighborhood. The lines were placed about 1920. 5. The water lines will not be sufficient to provide adequate fire flow for the proposed nine unit apartment. 6. Storm water lines will have to be extended in some manner to reach the subject site. The capacity of these lines is also unknown. 7. The subject site is located in an area almost exclusively developed and utilized for single family dwellings. There are two or three legal duplex units established in single family homes on the block front in which the subject site is located. Single family homes are immediately adjacent to the subject site. Single family homes face the subject site across Garden Avenue N. 8. The subject site is in a multiblock R-2 zone with no other zoning types immediately adjacent to the subject site. 9. The most recent reclassification occurred three blocks away and was limited to expansion of a parking lot to serve the adjoining medical clinic (Woodcock rezone, File No. R-015-81 , Ordinance No. 3551 ) . 10. The nine-unit structure would increase the population in the block by a factor of about 33%. The number of daily vehicle trips would increase about fourfold, to about 55, the trips per day. On street parking in the vicinity is limited. 11 . The proposal would not contain on-site recreational area and would provide minimal open space. The feasibility of the proposed building and site plans is in doubt for the lot size and configuration. 12. The proposed building would be three stories and contain parking on the first level . The height of the building would cut off sun and light to the immediately adjoining single family home during approximately six months of the year. The additional effect of noise, light, glare and odors is unknown. CONCLUSIONS: 1 . The determination of the ERC, the city's responsible official , is entitled to substantial weight pursuant to RCW 43.21C.090 (State Environmental Policy Act , SEPA) , and, therefore, the appellant has the burden of demonstrating that the determination of the ERC was erroneous. Further, the burden has been defined as whether the decision of the acting agency was "arbitrary and capricious" in light of the record. (Short v. Clallam County, 22 Wn.App. 825, 828, 1979) If there is no support for a decision in the record and it is therefore a willful and unreasoning action in disregard of the facts and circumstances, a decision is considered "arbitrary and capricious." (Stempel v. Dept. of Water Resources, 82 Wn.2d 109, 114, 1973) . 2. The issuance of a Declaration of Significance (DS) by the ERC resulting in the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement would fully disclose the environmental impacts of a proposal . The policies of SEPA are more clearly safeguarded when an agency action results in full disclosure, and therefore the agency action will not be easily overturned. (Norway Hill v. King County Council , 87 Wn.2d 267, 1976) 3. The proposal comes within the definition of a major action, and there was no contention that it was other than a major action which was subject to ERC review. Therefore, the ERC had to determine whether the proposal would or would not have a significant adverse effect on the quality of the environment. If more than a moderate effect on the quality of the environment would be a reasonable probability then a major action is said to have a significant adverse impact on the quality of the environment. (Norway, at 278) "The nature of the existing environment is an important factor. The same project may have a significant adverse impact on one location, but not in another location." (WAC 197-10-360(2)) It should also be remembered that proposals designed to improve the environment may also have adverse environmental impacts. The question at the threshold determination is not whether the beneficial aspects of a proposal outweigh its adverse impacts, but rather, if the proposal involves any significant adverse impacts upon the quality of the environment. If it does, an EIS is required." (WAC 197-10-360(3) ) 4. Subject to the criteria enumerated above as defined by the Washington courts and additional criteria found in the state guidelines (WAC 197-10) , the decision of the ECF-107-81 Page six TRANSMITTED THIS 19th day of January, 1982 by Affidavit of Mailing to the parties of record: Steve Swank, P.O.

Stredicke Richard Houghton, Public Works Director Dave Clemens, Policy Development Director Members, Planning Commission Roger Blaylock, Zoning Administrator Ron Nelson, Building Official Lawrence J. Warren, City Attorney Renton Record-Chronicle Pursuant to Title IV, Section 3015 of the City's Code, request for reconsideration must be filed in writing on or before February 2, 1982. Any aggrieved person feeling that the decision of the Examiner is based on erroneous procedure, errors of law or fact , error in judgment, or the discovery of new evidence which could not be reasonably available at the prior hearing may make a written request for review by the Examiner within fourteen 14) days from the date of the Examiner's decision. This request shall set forth the specific errors relied upon by such appellant, and the Examiner may, after review of the record, take further action as he deems proper. An appeal is governed by Title IV, Section 3011 , which requires that such appeal be filed with the Superior Court of Washington for King County within 20 days from the date of the Examiner's decision. ECF-107-81 Page Five ERC in the matter must be affirmed. The open issues of sewer and water capacity are such to require full analysis of the impacts of the project on these vital public services. The fire flow was described as insufficient and the capacity of both the sanitary and storm systems is unknown except that they were originally sized for single family housing back about 60 years ago. 5. In addition, conversion of the subject site to multifamily housing in the midst of an area generally dedicated to single family uses would probably greatly modify the character of the area. The duplexes in the area, if they can be called that, are single family conversions of the "mother-in-law" type, that is, minor modifications of scale to existing single family homes; they are not nine-unit structures which are apartment buildings in appearance and function. 6. The impacts of shading on adjacent properties and the impacts of greater population density, an increase of about one-third, as well as impacts relating to traffic and noise, are not disclosed at this time. The inclusion of fireplaces would have a potential impact on air quality in an area of industrial concentration. 7. The environmental impacts of a proposal are further defined to include indirect impacts on an area. These would be the potential precedent value of reclassifying a parcel and the potential of causing further such requests in an area. The SEPA guidelines specifically cite the example of rezones for such precedent value. The impacts of a proposal include its direct impacts as well as its reasonably anticipated indirect impacts. Indirect impacts are those which result from any activity which is induced by a proposal . These include, but are not limited to, impacts resulting from growth induced by the proposal , or the likelihood that the present action will serve as a precedent for future actions. (For example, adoption of a zoning ordinance will encourage or tend to cause particular types of projects.)" (WAC 197-10-060(3)) (Emphasis supplied) 8. WAC 197-10-060 makes it clear that the "total proposal including its direct and indirect impacts" should be reviewed when making an environmental determination. The total proposal is the proposed action, together with all proposed activity functionally related to it. Future activities are functionally related to the present proposal if. . . (b) The present proposal facilitates or is a necessary prerequisite to future activities." (WAC 197-10-060(2) (b) ) Therefore, not only the impacts of the rezone request but the impacts of the proposed apartment complex must be analyzed. 9. The ERC's determination that a full EIS is required is reasonable in light of the record. Requiring an EIS is more consistent with the policies of SEPA. The provision of an EIS will enable the decision maker to fully evaluate the project. The policy enunciated in "Norway Hill" was that public agencies should foster the environmental full disclosure goals of SEPA. "An affirmative threshold determination should be overturned only if found to be arbitrary and capricious or contrary to law." Short at 830) Whether or not a proposal should or should not be approved should be based on firm environmental evidence before the decision is made. (Norway at 279) The decision of the ERC should be affirmed. The action of the ERC is not willful and unreasoning action, in disregard of the facts and circumstances. Only the preparation of an EIS would allow a reasoned decision to be made on whether or not the proposal should be permitted and under what circumstances. Therefore, the decision of the ERC is affirmed. DECISION: The determination of the Environmental Review Committee is affirmed. ORDERED THIS 19th day of January, 1982. lam' Fred J.

Dear Mr. Swank: I have reviewed your request for reconsideration in the above entitled matter and find no reason to modify the original determination. The decision of the ERC was entitled to be given substantial weight , and based upon that standard, their determination was upheld. 1 ) The capacity of the utilities to serve the proposed development is not the sole determinant of the issue. 2) The designation of the map portion of the city's Comprehensive Plan cannot be used alone without reference to the other stated goals, policies and objectives of that plan. 3) If the structure were to be redesigned, the ERC could review the plans and arrive at a new determination, but that was not the object of the present hearing. Further, it is the potential development which could occur under the requested zoning and not only the proposed apartment which prompted the ERC ' s decision. 4) , 5) and 6) It was not necessarily any particular factor alone which resulted in the ERC's determination, but a combination of factors which indicate that the proposal will have more than a moderate effect on the quality of the environment , and therefore the decision of the ERC is once again affirmed. Your right to appeal to Superior Court may be exercised not later than 20 days from the date of this decision. If this office can provide further information, please do not hesitate to call .

Kaufman CITY OF RENTON HEARING EXAMINER Land Use Hearing Examiner 200 Mill Avenue South FEB 2 1982 Renton Wash. 98055 AM PM 71819ri MMht12t i t21:3i41516 Dear Mr. Kaufman: r As the agent for Robert Schumacher on the proposed rezone at the vicinity of 223 Garden Avenue North I would like to appeal the decision that was rendered by yourself on January 12 , 1982 for the following reasons. 1 ) At the hearing it was pointed out by members of thLi community and Mr. Richard Houghton, the Director of tha Public Works Department that they were concerned with the capicities of the utilities and particulary the water pressure for the neighborhood. As I stated at the hearing on January 12 , 1982 Mr. Schumacher would entertain the possibility of having a study completed to determine to what extent improvements need to be done and the costs involved. WE both feel that the costs would be well below that of an Environmental Impact Statement and would be more feasible than a total E.I.S. for a subject site that is approximately one-third of an acre. 2 ) The Comprehensive Plan shows clearly that the R-3 designation has been given to three particular streets including Garden, Factory, and Meadow and that the Mari-Paul Apartments now existing on Garden Avenue North would seem to set precedence for allowing the property owned by Robert Schumacher to be zoned R-3 along with past rezones in the area. 3 ) In designing the proposed 9 unit apartment building great concern was given to the neighborhood residents. The 3 story building was decided on so not to burden the residents on either side of the proposed complex to have to view parked cars. The building could be re-designed to allow for less units and no underground parking stalls and therefore would reduce the problem of shading existing on neighboring yards. Landscaping would also act as an effective buffer between neighboring residents. 4) Parking as pointed out by one of the community residents would be no problem as off street parking will be provided by the apartment. Some residents may not have cars because of the close proximity to bus service and the short distance to downtown Renton to -meet their shopping needs and this would also lessen the traffic impact that some of the residents fear. 5) The apartment it is our contention that tennants in the apartment would be either young professional workers who chose to live there because of the close proximity to dow:itown Renton, or surrounding employers such as Boeing or Pacific Car and Foundry. The tennants may be also elderly citizens or those who prefer not to drive because of the closeness of the Central Business District. The apartment complex will not have the amenities that young people look for such as swimming pools , saunas, and party rooms . Therefore noise will not be a major problem after the apartment is completed. 6) Recreational needs for the tennants can be taken ca:,e of a Liberty Park which is located nearby. A small open space area at the apartments is also feasible for the residents to enjoy. These are the reasons why Mr. Schumacher and myself feel that the project should be allowed to proceed. A study of the sewer and water lines would be the appropriate first step to determine if the increased demand on both utilities could serve a complex and if not 9 units then exactly how many units could be served and supported by the system currently or what needs to be done to increase the service of water and sewer to the area. We therefore ask Mr. Kaufman that you please reconsider your decision that was reached on January 12 , 1982 . Fespectfully yours , Stephen Swank OF R4,4 BUILDING & ZONING DEPARTMENT Z RONALD G.

APPELLANT: Robert Schumacher FILE NO. ECF-107-81 R-086-81 ) LOCATION: Vicinity of 223 Garden Avenue North. SUMMARY OF APPEAL: An appeal by Robert Schumacher of a Final Declaration of Significance issued by the Environmental Review Committee ERC) for property proposed for rezone from R-2 to R-3. SUMMARY OF DEICION: The determination of the Environmental Review Committee is affirmed. PUBLIC HEARING: After reviewing the letter of appeal , 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 January 12, 1982 at 9:30 a.m. in the Council Chambers of the Renton Municipal Building. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner. The public hearing process for appeals of environmental determinations made by the Environmental Review Committee was explained by the Examiner, and he noted that the issue is not whether a rezone should or should not be granted but rather whether the city has carried out its responsibility under the State Environmental Policy Act in determining whether the proposal will have more than a moderate effect on the environment, and if so, whether an Environmental Impact Statement should be prepared for the project. Testimony by ,the appellant 's representative was then requested. Responding was: Steve Swank P.O. Box 66772 Seattle, WA 98166 Mr. Swank submitted a letter from the appellant, Mr. Schumacher, who was unable to attend the public hearing, which stated his objections to required preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement. The letter and additional information was entered into the record as follows by the Examiner: Exhibit #1 : Appeal File containing pertinent documents including letter to Hearing Examiner from Warren F. Vaupel , January 11 , 1982, indicating concern about property zoning in light of reversionary zoning action of the city Exhibit #2: Letter to Hearing Examiner from L. Robert Schumacher, dated January 5, 1982 Referencing the concern of the Environmental Review Committee regarding adequacy of sewer and storm drainage utilities, Mr. Swank advised that a representative of the Public Works Department had informed him that an eight inch sewer line exists adjacent to the subject site according to a commissioned study in 1968. The storm drainage facilities are available but must be extended to the south into the N. 3rd Street system on the northern side of the road, and Mr. Swank stated the applicant's intent to meet design standards required by the city. Referencing the concern regarding land use in the area, it was noted that the property designation on the Comprehensive Plan is R-3 Medium Density Multifamily) and similar rezones from R-2 to a higher density have been granted by the city in the past. Cited were Ordinance No. 3228 on Factory Avenue N. , and Ordinances No. 3551 and 3370 on Pelly Avenue N. Mr. Swank observed that the city's past rezone practices in the area should support approval of the requested rezone to R-3 of the subject property. Potential noise from increased development was raised by Mr. Swank, who stated the applicant's willingness to restrict construction activity to daytime hours between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to prevent disturbance to neighbors. He described the current state of disrepair of the existing residence on site and expressed his belief that construction of a new nine-unit apartment structure with appropriate landscaping would enhance and upgrade the site and create no additional environmental impact to the surrounding area. Recreational facilities would be supplied by Liberty Park, located ECF-107-81 Page Two approximately three to five minutes from the subject property. Mr. Swank concluded his comments by stating the applicant 's willingness to discuss the possibility of execution of restrictive covenants with the city and adjacent neighbors to assure appropriate design of the building or reduce the number of proposed units. He objected on the basis of cost to preparation of an EIS for a site containing only one-third of an acre, and suggested that a partial instead of a full EIS may provide sufficient information. The Examiner requested testimony in support of the appeal . There was no response. He then invited testimony by a member of the ERC, David Clemens, Policy Development Director. Mr. Clemens designated the location of the subject site north of Bronson Way on Garden Avenue N. between N. 2nd and N. 3rd Street in an area currently zoned R-2. Although research has not yet confirmed the legal zoning categories, in reference to the letter from Mr. Vaupel , available records suggest that rezones referred to by the applicant 's representative were from the R-2 district to some higher zone. Mr. Clemens described adjoining uses of single family to the north and south, a duplex on the east side of Garden with remaining lots single family, a duplex at the corner of 2nd and Garden, multifamily dwellings at the southwest corner of 3rd and Garden but the remainder of the block, particularly lots adjoining, are single family residentially developed. The submitted site plan, he advised, indicates a structure which would be located very close to the south property line meeting minimum setback standards for the R-3 zone, and would contain two stories over parking or a three story structure. Mr. Clemens discussed concerns of the Environmental Review Committee regarding the design configuration of the building, inadequate capacity of storm drainage and sewer utilities, noise impact from construction phases as well as normal living activities, overcrowding of the neighborhood, and increased traffic from the proposal . He also noted that the current density of housing on the block will increase by nearly one-third upon construction of the development, and approval of the rezone would set a precedent for future actions in the area. Also discussed were the intrusion of the proposal in the middle of a single family residentially developed neighborhood, visual impacts, and shading of the properties to the north of the structure. Recreational aspects are also a concern of the ERC due to spillover effects from the proposal onto neighboring lots. Mr. Clemens concluded by stating that the ERC had taken into consideration other rezones in the area, but the ordinances cited by the appellant 's representative were not current . He then invited testimony by a second member of the ERC, Richard Houghton, Public Works Director. Mr. Houghton stated that while there is no question that staff in the Public Works Department had provided information to the applicant regarding the location and possible extension of utility lines in the area, the concern of the ERC is whether lines are adequately sized to accommodate additional effluence introduced by the proposal . Downstream capacity of storm drains is unknown and water mains in the vicinity would not provide necessary fire flow for a three-story, nine-unit apartment building. In the past, a blanket rezone had been granted for the area north of the Cedar River to N. 6th Street and from Logan Avenue easterly to 1-405 without appropriate consideration given to the capacity of utilities in the area. The residential neighborhood was developed in the 1900's, and sanitary sewers introduced in the 1920's were sized to handle existing single family residential use. Since that time, an increasing volume of industrialization has occurred in the area as well as a recent change to multifamily development which tax existing systems. Mr. Houghton supported preparation of an EIS to determine the downstream capacity of the utilities and the precise impacts of the proposal upon the existing neighborhood. Responding to earlier comments provided by Mr. Clemens regarding the dates of previous rezones in the area, Mr. Swank clarified that Ordinance No. 3551 , Woodcock rezone which granted approval of R-2 to R-3 zoning on Pelly Avenue N. , was approved on June 12, 1981 . The Examiner requested further testimony in opposition to the appeal . Responding was: Dixon Long 131 Garden Avenue N. Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Long expressed objection to approval of a three-story building in the center of a single family residential block. He recalled that the Planning Commission had studied the north Renton area in the past one and one-half years with the intent to stabilize the area into single family use as much as possible with the aid of federal block grant funds. He noted that many older homes have been upgraded with the aid of the funding, and the community supports continuation of the program. Also discussed was the projection in the mid-1950's that the area would undergo a transition to light industrial or business use, and it was noted that such a transition has not occurred. Mr. Long indicated concern with capacity of utilities, particularly water pressure, since it appears serious doubt exists regarding whether lines can accommodate increased development. ECF-107-81 Page Three Responding was: Ralph Robertson 235 Garden Avenue N. Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Robertson inquired regarding proposed egress from the site. Mr. Clemens explained that the submitted design indicates driveway access onto Garden Avenue N. Mr. Robertson stated his opinion that congestion would result on that street if the development is approved as submitted. Responding was: Ted Gatz 210 Garden Avenue N. Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Gatz, adjacent resident to the site as well as owner of a business located at 200 Park Avenue N. , advised similar concerns regarding on-street parking, overcrowding from multifamily dwellings, and utilities, particularly water pressure. He related experiencing pressure problems in the past, expressed concern regarding fire flow, and inquired regarding location of fire hydrants. Responding was: Howard Keene 227 Garden Avenue N. Renton, WA 98055 Mr. Keene, resident located directly north of the proposed rezone, discussed the shading effect of a three-story complex, noting that the existing single family home on the site currently shades his property two to three months each year throughout the winter. If the height of the building is doubled, shading will occur on his property five to six months out of the year which he felt was totally unacceptable. Other factors which were discussed were increased noise, traffic, loss of privacy, air pollution, and possible irresponsible tenants. Mr. Keene indicated that the current value of his home would be reduced by half if the proposal were allowed, and he supported reconstruction of another single family residence on the site in lieu of the proposed multifamily complex. Responding to Mr. Long's comments, Mr. Clemens confirmed that the Central Area Committee of the Planning Commission is continuing to review the north and south Renton areas and the remainder of the central area to ensure stabilization of existing single family residential development. Mr. Robertson testified that the area behind the subject property currently being utilized as an alley is a five foot walkway according to City of Renton records, and the plat maps show the deep lots at 280 feet in depth when they are actually 275 feet deep. The Examiner requested final comments. Since there were none, the hearing was closed at 9:57 a.m. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & DECISION: Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1 . The appellant, Robert Schumacher, applied to reclassify approximately one-third acre of property from its current R-2 (Duplex Residential ) classification to R-3 (Medium Density Multifamily Residential ) . The Environmental Review Committee (ERC) , after its required environmental analysis determined that the proposal would have an adverse impact on the quality of the environment and issued a positive Declaration of Signifiance (DS) . The positive declaration requires the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) . Pursuant to Section 4-3011 (B) , the appellant filed this appeal and a public hearing was held on January 12, 1982. 2. The subject property is located in the vicinity of 223 Garden Avenue N. , just north of the central business district of downtown Renton. The property is located on the west side of the street and is one of a series of lots in this area which are about 280 feet deep. An alley runs to the rear of the subject property. 3. The appellant proposed constructing a nine-unit apartment on the subject site after removal of the existing single family home from the site. 4. The sewer and water lines in the area are described as antiquated, and the ability and capacity of these lines to carry additional loads is unknown. The lines were ECF-107-81 Page Four placed in the area prior to the large industrial expansion north of the subject area and were originally sized to provide service to the existing single family neighborhood. The lines were placed about 1920. 5. The water lines will not be sufficient to provide adequate fire flow for the proposed nine unit apartment. 6. Storm water lines will have to be extended in some manner to reach the subject site. The capacity of these lines is also unknown. 7. The subject site is located in an area almost exclusively developed and utilized for single family dwellings. There are two or three legal duplex units established in single family homes on the block front in which the subject site is located. Single family homes are immediately adjacent to the subject site. Single family homes face the subject site across Garden Avenue N. 8. The subject site is in a multiblock R-2 zone with no other zoning types immediately adjacent to the subject site. 9. The most recent reclassification occurred three blocks away and was limited to expansion of a parking lot to serve the adjoining medical clinic (Woodcock rezone, File No. R-015-81 , Ordinance No. 3551 ) . 10. The nine-unit structure would increase the population in the block by a factor of about 33%. The number of daily vehicle trips would increase about fourfold, to about 55, the trips per day. On street parking in the vicinity is limited. 11 . The proposal would not contain on-site recreational area and would provide minimal open space. The feasibility of the proposed building and site plans is in doubt for the lot size and configuration. 12. The proposed building would be three stories and contain parking on the first level . The height of the building would cut off sun and light to the immediately adjoining single family home during approximately six months of the year. The additional effect of noise, light, glare and odors is unknown. CONCLUSIONS: 1 . The determination of the ERC, the city's responsible official , is entitled to substantial weight pursuant to RCW 43.21C.090 (State Environmental Policy Act , SEPA) , and, therefore, the appellant has the burden of demonstrating that the determination of the ERC was erroneous. Further, the burden has been defined as whether the decision of the acting agency was "arbitrary and capricious" in light of the record. (Short v. Clallam County, 22 Wn.App. 825, 828, 1979) If there is no support for a decision in the record and it is therefore a willful and unreasoning action in disregard of the facts and circumstances, a decision is considered "arbitrary and capricious." (Stempel v. Dept. of Water Resources, 82 Wn.2d 109, 114, 1973) . 2. The issuance of a Declaration of Significance (DS) by the ERC resulting in the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement would fully disclose the environmental impacts of a proposal . The policies of SEPA are more clearly safeguarded when an agency action results in full disclosure, and therefore the agency action will not be easily overturned. (Norway Hill v. King County Council , 87 Wn.2d 267, 1976) 3. The proposal comes within the definition of a major action, and there was no contention that it was other than a major action which was subject to ERC review. Therefore, the ERC had to determine whether the proposal would or would not have a significant adverse effect on the quality of the environment. If more than a moderate effect on the quality of the environment would be a reasonable probability then a major action is said to have a significant adverse impact on the quality of the environment. (Norway, at 278) "The nature of the existing environment is an important factor. The same project may have a significant adverse impact on one location, but not in another location." (WAC 197-10-360(2)) It should also be remembered that proposals designed to improve the environment may also have adverse environmental impacts. The question at the threshold determination is not whether the beneficial aspects of a proposal outweigh its adverse impacts, but rather, if the proposal involves any significant adverse impacts upon the quality of the environment. If it does, an EIS is required." (WAC 197-10-360(3) ) 4. Subject to the criteria enumerated above as defined by the Washington courts and additional criteria found in the state guidelines (WAC 197-10) , the decision of the ECF-107-81 Page Five ERC in the matter must be affirmed. The open issues of sewer and water capacity are such to require full analysis of the impacts of the project on these vital public services. The fire flow was described as insufficient and the capacity of both the sanitary and storm systems is unknown except that they were originally sized for single family housing back about 60 years ago. 5. In addition, conversion of the subject site to multifamily housing in the midst of an area generally dedicated to single family uses would probably greatly modify the character 'of the area. The duplexes in the area, if they can be called that, are single family conversions of the "mother-in-law" type, that is, minor modifications of scale to existing single family homes; they are not nine-unit structures which are apartment buildings in appearance and function. 6. The impacts of shading on adjacent properties and the impacts of greater population density, an increase of about one-third, as well as impacts relating to traffic and noise, are not disclosed at this time. The inclusion of fireplaces would have a potential impact on air quality in an area of industrial concentration. 7. The environmental impacts of a proposal are further defined to include indirect impacts on an area. These would be the potential precedent value of reclassifying a parcel and the potential of causing further such requests in an area. The SEPA guidelines specifically cite the example of rezones for such precedent value. The impacts of a proposal include its direct impacts as well as its reasonably anticipated indirect impacts. Indirect impacts are those which result from any activity which is induced by a proposal . These include, but are not limited to, impacts resulting from growth induced by the proposal , or the likelihood that the present action will serve as a precedent for future actions. (For example, adoption of a zoning ordinance will encourage or tend to cause particular types of projects.)" (WAC 197-10-060(3) ) (Emphasis supplied) 8. WAC 197-10-060 makes it clear that the "total proposal including its direct and indirect impacts" should be reviewed when making an environmental determination. The total proposal is the proposed action, together with all proposed activity functionally related to it. Future activities are functionally related to the present proposal if. . . (b) The present proposal facilitates or is a necessary prerequisite to future activities." (WAC 197-10-060(2) (b) ) Therefore, not only the impacts of the rezone request but the impacts of the proposed apartment complex must be analyzed. 9. The ERC's determination that a full EIS is required is reasonable in light of the record. Requiring an EIS is more consistent with the policies of SEPA. The provision of an EIS will enable the decision maker to fully evaluate the project. The policy enunciated in "Norway Hill " was that public agencies should foster the environmental full disclosure goals of SEPA. "An affirmative threshold determination should be overturned only if found to be arbitrary and capricious or contrary to law." Short at 830) Whether or not a proposal should or should not be approved should be based on firm environmental evidence before the decision is made. (Norway at 279) The decision of the ERC should be affirmed. The action of the ERC is not willful and unreasoning action, in disregard of the facts and circumstances. Only the preparation of an EIS would allow a reasoned decision to be made on whether or not the proposal should be permitted and under what circumstances. Therefore, the decision of the ERC is affirmed. DECISION: The determination of the Environmental Review Committee is affirmed. ORDERED THIS 19th day of January, 1982. 41•4--irin\/4:0-4siv""' Fred J.

Kaufman 200 Mill Avenue South Land Use Hearing Examiner Renton, Wash. 98055 Dear Mr. Kaufman: As the represnative for Mr. Schumacher I wou d like to appeal the ERC decision rendered on Decembe2, 1981 . We feel that the ERC decision should be reversed for the following reasons . 1 ) Storm water and sanitary sewer capacity is present according to Mr. Armstrong of the Public Works Department. 2) R-3 zoning request is compatible with the R-3 designa- tion in the Comprehensive Plan. 3) There have been R-2 to R-3 zoning changes in the area. 4) Noise will only be a factor during the construction phase of the project. 5) Asthetically we are replacing a old structure with a new building and providing landscaping. 6) Recreation will not be affected as most residents will go to Liberty Park to pursue their activities. It is our beliefethat Mr. Schumacher is within his legal rites to have the zoning change allowed. The Comprehensive Plan shows R-3 zoning in the area which means that the subject property could be developed for apartment use. Therefore we are requesting that the ERC decision be reversed and that we may continue on with our project. If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate in trying to reach me at the phone number listed on the enclosed business card.

The population of the surrounding area is 4,700 according to the 1980 census data. The population base will grow significantly because of the expansion plans of Boeing who have applied for numerous building permits in the area. Pacific Car and Foundry is also near the subject property and is a major employer of residents in the area. The site is located extremely close to the downtown Renton business district therefore it would lend itself ideally for easy access for a variety of services for those tenants who reside in the apartment building. Residents of the apartment will be made up of diversified tenantssuch as young executives, blue collar workers, and elderly citizens because of the close proximity to the basic 'services. It is our thatnotat housing demand will increase in the area and that the proposed rezone will help alleviate the problem by providing a 9 unit apartment to create housing and not to eliminate housing to help meet the increased demand for housing in the future. In the past year building permits have been issued in the area of the subject site.

The Act also requires that an EIS be prepared for all major actions significantly affecting the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to help the agencies involved determine whether or not a proposal is such a major action. Please answer the following questions as completely as you can with the information presently available to you. Where explanations of your answers are required , or where you believe an explanation would be helpful to government decision makers , include your explanation in the space provided, or use additional pages if necessary. You should include references to any reports or studies of which you are aware and which are rele- vant to the answers you provide. Complete answers to these questions now will help all agencies irvolved with your proposal to undertake the required environmental review with- out unnecessary delay. The following questions apply to your total proposal , not just to the license for which you are currently applying or the proposal for which approval is sought. Your answers should include the impacts which will be caused by your proposal when it is completed, even though completion may not occur until sometime in the future. This will allow all of the agencies which will be involved to complete their environmental review now, with- out duplicating paperwork in the future. NOTE : This is a standard form being used by all state and local agencies in the State of Washington for various types of proposals . Many of the questions may not apply to your proposal . If a question does not apply , just answer it "no" and continue on to the next question. ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM I. BACKGROUND 1. Name of Proponent PrES-3C& ) '1 :\ €5' _ 2.
