PUBLIC HEARING
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
City Clerk: Cable Franchise
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to
Renewal
consider amending and extending Comcast's cable television franchise through
2013; implementing a 35-cent per subscriber per month Public, Educational,
Governmental (PEG) fee; and approving a lease agreement for the City's
institutional network (I -Net).
Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Marty Wine reported that the current
franchise with Comcast expires on 9/13/2008. She stated that the after a
thorough review, the City is seeking a five-year extension, with modifications,
to the franchise.
Ms. Wine introduced Mike Bradley of Bradley & Guzzetta, LLC (cable
television franchise consultant). Mr. Bradley reviewed the process of achieving
the proposed five-year extension. He reported that in March 2007 a rate review
resulted in lower equipment rates and some subscriber refunds. He stated that
in 2006 a systems technical review found numerous code violations that
Comcast thereafter resolved. Mr. Bradley pointed out that the proposed,
amended franchise extension requires annual certification from Comcast that
they are compliant with all applicable technical codes.
Continuing, Mr. Bradley reported that a franchise fee review was conducted by
Front Range Consulting, and it was determined that the current definition of
"Gross Revenues" was deficient. He stated that an amendment to the proposed
franchise extension updates and modernizes the definition, protecting the City's
interests going forward. Mr. Bradley also stated that in February 2007 CBG
Communications conducted a needs assessment survey of the government
access channel (Channel 21) and determined that the cablecasting equipment
should be replaced due to its age. He reported that a 19-cent per subscriber per
month Public, Educational, and Governmental (PEG) fee is proposed to address
the equipment needs.
September 8, 2008 Renton City Council Minutes Page 279
Lastly, Mr. Bradley reported that ownership of the institutional network (I -Net)
has been in question, and to protect its access and use, the City negotiated a
nominal lease of $1 per year for 50 years. He noted that with this lease the City
will have use of the I -net far longer than its expected lifetime.
Ms. Wine summarized the recommendation as follows: 1) approve a five-year
extension to the current franchise; 2) approve a separate lease for the
Institutional Network (I -Net); and 3) establish a 19-cent per subscriber per
month Public, Educational, and Governmental (PEG) fee for government access
channel needs.
Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY

HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 283 for Committee of the Whole
Committee Report.)
APPEALS
Planning and Development Committee Chair Parker presented a report
Planning & Development
regarding the Sunset Highlands Mixed -Use Appeal. The Committee heard the
Committee
appeal on 8/21/2008. Pursuant to City Code 4-8-110F, the Committee's
Appeal: Sunset Highlands
decision and recommendation is limited to the record, which consists of, but is
Mixed -Use, SA-08-028
not limited to the Hearing Examiner's Report, the notice of appeal, and the
submissions by the parties. The Committee opened the hearing and heard the
presentations and argument by Planning Manager Jennifer Henning, and the
applicant's representative, Blake Lindsey. Having done so, the Committee
hereby finds that there is a substantial error of law.
The appeal was filed by the applicant, John Graves Architects, LLC, who is
seeking a reversal of the Hearing Examiner's decision, which rejected the Site
Plan and the Conditional Use Permit.
The subject property is located on the south side of NE Sunset Blvd., west of
Duvall Ave. NE and east of Union Ave. NE. The surrounding properties are all
zoned RMF (Residential Multi -Family) or CA (Commercial Arterial). The
applicant is proposing a four-story, 55 foot tall mixed -use building consisting of
21 multi -family residential dwelling units with approximately 2,200 square feet
of commercial/retail on the ground level. The excess 5 feet 4 inches beyond the
height limit is required in order to accommodate the elevator shaft and stair
cases only. All other portions of the building would remain within the 50 foot
height limit. There is a Class 4 stream located on the southeast portion of the
site (the rear of the proposed building). The proposal requested a reduction of
the buffer to 25 feet. The Development Services Director granted this request
subject to buffer enhancement for the stream. A reduction of the front yard and
landscaping setback was also requested to approximately one foot, at its
narrowest point, along the street frontage. City staff recommended approval of
the setback modifications.
Given the size and constraints of the property, this proposed project is
consistent with the City's vision and Comprehensive Plan policies. The project
fits within the confines of the CA zoning and will implement and optimize the
City's vision for the NE Sunset Business Corridor, with minimal impacts to
surrounding properties. Although the surrounding areas are mostly commercial
and/or big box retail, the City's vision for this commercial corridor is to have
more mixed -use development. This particular corridor allows a density limit up
to 60 dwelling units per acre if the residential project contains commercial uses
September 8, 2008 Renton City Council Minutes Page 280
along NE Sunset Blvd.; and the proposed project is well beneath that, at
approximately 26 dwelling units per acre, even with the concessions given
regarding the setbacks.
For these reasons, the Committee makes the following recommendations:
• That the City Council find that the Hearing Examiner made a substantial
error of law in denying the Conditional Use Permit because the applicant
did meet the requisite criteria for a conditional use.
• That the City Council find that the Hearing Examiner made a substantial
error of law in that denying the Site Plan in that it meets the criteria of the
City's Site Plan review and is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan
and Land Use policies.
• Move to reverse the Hearing Examiner's decision dated 6/24/2008 and
approve the Site Plan and approve the Conditional Use Permit to allow a
height limit extension to 55 feet 4 inches for the elevator shaft only. This
approval shall be conditioned upon all the other recommendations set forth
in Section I, pages 21-22 of the City's Staff Report dated 5/27/2008.

IN THE COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
Appeal: Nicholson Light Planning and Development Chair Parker represented a report regarding the
Trespass, AAD-08-059 Nicholson Light Trespass Appeal. Pursuant to a complaint received by Brad
Nicholson regarding an allegation of "light trespass," the City's Code
Enforcement Division reviewed the matter and found insufficient basis to issue
a citation for the alleged offense. Mr. Nicholson "appealed" this issue to the
Hearing Examiner. The Hearing Examiner declined to hear the appeal, finding
no jurisdiction over alleged code enforcement violation, and insofar as any code
violations were criminal in nature, the proper venue would be in Renton
Municipal Court.
Mr. Nicholson subsequently "appealed" the decision by the Hearing Examiner
declining to hear this appeal. The Hearing Examiner found no jurisdiction over
this matter and the City Council only has authority to review the Hearing
Examiner's decision pursuant to RMC 4-8-11OF.
Therefore, this Committee has no option other than to recommend that this
matter be dismissed for lack of case or controversy and jurisdiction. MOVED
BY PARKER, SECONDED BY ZWICKER, COUNCIL CONCUR IN THE
COMMITTEE REPORT. CARRIED.
