in Renton. Mr. Batch said that BP is proud to sponsor the Renton Centennial Pageant – Rentennial which will showcase Renton's heritage and diverse and unique history.
Rentennial cast members entertained the audience by performing sample numbers from the show.
Police: Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies
Chief of Police Garry Anderson reported that the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) adopted national standards in 1982, and law enforcement agencies voluntarily
enter into an agreement with the Commission in an effort to meet these standards. He described the accreditation process, and stated that the benefits of having an accredited Police
Department are as follows: reduction in liability and insurance costs, reduction in frequency of claims, reduction of costs of claims paid, greater police accountability to the community,
increased governmental and community support for the law enforcement agency, and national recognition for professional excellence.
Chief Anderson said that the Renton Police Department first received accreditation in 1991 and again in 1996. The Department is currently undergoing evaluation for re-accreditation,
and he introduced Sergeant Chuck Marsalisi, Accreditation Manager, who is responsible for preparing the Police Department for evaluation. Chief Anderson also introduced the assessors
from CALEA. Undersheriff Grayson Robinson, the assessors' team leader, expressed
his appreciation for the support the assessors have received from Renton citizens and from Police Department staff.
Police: Volunteer Recognition
Chief of Police Garry Anderson and Community Program Coordinator Audrey Sloan recognized the following Police Department Volunteers:
Helen Sheatsley (achieved 3,081 hours of service); and
Marilyn Smith (achieved 500 hours of service).
Chief Anderson also announced that Ms. Smith was chosen as the Police Department Volunteer of the First Quarter 2001.
PUBLIC HEARING
Planning: IM Zone Amend re: Adult Day Care
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing to consider the proposed
text amendment to change processing requirements for Adult Day Care use in the Industrial-Medium (IM) zone from a hearing examiner conditional use to an administrative conditional use.
Rebecca Lind, Principal Planner, explained that Adult Day Care zoning regulations were adopted in 1997 which allowed Adult Day Care activities in residential areas and church facilities.
Pointing out that there are two types of Adult Day Care categories, over 12 clients and under 12 clients, she explained that those with 12 or fewer clients are permitted outright in
the Industrial-Medium zone in the Valley and by conditional use elsewhere. For those with over 12 clients, it is permitted by administrative conditional use in the Industrial-Light
zone and by hearing examiner conditional use in the Industrial-Medium and Heavy zones.
Ms. Lind stated that the IM zones are located primarily in the Employment Area-Valley (EAV) area, and she indicated that EAV policies now support a wider mixture of uses so there is
no longer a need to protect the industrial activities from less intensive land uses. Ms. Lind said that the zoning text amendment would shorten review time and provide greater certainty
for property owners seeking to develop. It would also ensure compatibility with surrounding uses and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Emphasizing that the notification process
remains the same, she noted there is still opportunity for public comment, and the appeal procedure is to the hearing examiner. In conclusion, Ms. Lind recommended amending the processing
requirements in the IM zone to designate Adult Day Care as an administration conditional use.
An electronic letter was read from Lisa M. Winterhalter, Project Architect for PKJB Architectural Group, 603 Stewart St., #707, Seattle, 98101, stating her support for the zoning text
amendment.
Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 287 for ordinance.)
