PUBLIC HEARINGS
Annexation: Mosier II, 142nd
Ave SE & 144th Ave SE
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
public hearing to consider the 60% Notice of Intent to annex petition and R-4
zoning for the proposed Mosier II Annexation consisting of 31 acres, including
the abutting street right-of-way, located between 142nd Ave. SE on the west
and 144th Ave. SE (Jericho Ave. NE) on the east, south of NE 2nd St., if
extended.
Don Erickson, Senior Planner, explained that the original 35.24-acre petition
submitted in June, 2003, was unsuccessful in achieving signatures representing
60% of the area's assessed value. The petition was resubmitted in June, 2004,
for 10.40 acres. At the public meeting on August 23, 2004, the Council agreed
to expand the boundaries, increasing the annexation area to 31 acres. Mr.
Erickson pointed out that as it stands now, if this area were annexed, a 13-lot
subdivision located to the north of the annexation area will become an
unincorporated island. Staff recommends including this subdivision with the
annexation area by invoking jurisdiction at the Boundary Review Board and
requesting its inclusion.
Mr. Erickson stated that eight single-family dwellings exist on this relatively
level site, and noted that a branch of Maplewood Creek runs southwest of the
site draining wetlands to the west of 142nd Ave. SE. He reported that the site is
served by Fire District #25, Water District #90, Renton sewer, and the Renton
School District.
Continuing, Mr. Erickson indicated that current King County zoning for the site
is R-4 (four dwellings per gross acre). Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates
the site as Residential Low Density, for which R-4 (four dwelling units per net
acre) zoning is proposed. He noted that the site is one of three former R-5 sites
grandfathered in as to density at a maximum of five dwelling units per net acre.
Mr. Erickson stated that the fiscal impact analysis indicates a surplus of $28,249
at full development, assuming a potential of 118 single-family homes and an
February 7, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 39
assessed new home value of $425,000. The estimated one-time parks
acquisition and development cost is $66,077. In conclusion, he said the
annexation proposal furthers City business goals, and is consistent with Renton
policies.
Public comment was invited.
Brian Leitch, 14217 SE 136th St., Renton, 98059, stated that his five-acre parcel
is located directly south of the proposed annexation area, and he requested the
inclusion of his property in the annexation. Mr. Leitch indicated that his
property, consisting of two taxation parcels, is bounded by SE 136th St. on the
north, and 143rd Ave. SE on the east.
Mr. Erickson explained that staff is already requesting authorization to invoke
jurisdiction at the Boundary Review Board to expand the boundaries for the
subdivision to the north, and Mr. Leitch's property could be included in that
request. Alex Pietsch, Economic Development Administrator, suggested that to
allow for further staff investigation, the staff recommendation be changed to
state "invoke jurisdiction at the Boundary Review Board requesting the
expansion to more reasonable boundaries."
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler clarified that the intent is to include the 13-lot
subdivision, Mr. Leitch's parcel, and any other contiguous parcels that may
want to annex.
Alan Miller, 13568 139th Pl. SE, Renton, 98059, expressed his concern
regarding traffic flow along SE 136th St., noting that the increased density
along Duvall Ave. NE has led to increased traffic in this area. He also noted
that the misaligned intersection of Duvall Ave. SE and NE 4th St. creates traffic
problems. Pointing out that continuing SE 136th St. all the way through would
result in increased traffic flow, Mr. Miller requested that continuation of the
street not be allowed. Additionally, he expressed his appreciation for the R-4
zoning of the area.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler explained that this public hearing concerns the
annexation proposal, and pointed out that citizens will have opportunity during
the development process to express concerns regarding development issues.
There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON,
SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Planning: Medical Institution
Definition, City Code
Amendment
This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
public hearing to consider City Code Title IV (Development Regulations)
February 7, 2005 Renton City Council Minutes Page 40
amendments to the definition of "Medical Institution."
Alex Pietsch, Economic Development Administrator, stated that a property
owner and an interested business wanted to request a Comprehensive Plan
amendment and rezone of a property to take advantage of a particular land use
at a single location. Upon review of City Code, it was discovered that some of
the existing definitions were out of date with evolving medical industry
practices; thus a City Code amendment is being sought that will address this
matter and also be applicable Citywide.
Rebecca Lind, Planner Manager, explained that the proposed land use is for a
holistic health clinic involving non-traditional medical practitioners and a short-
term in-patient facility, with massage, non-traditional therapy, retail, and
gardens as accessory activities. She indicated that the existing zoning code
definitions of "Medical Institution," "Medical Office," "Office," and
"Convalescent Facility" were not appropriate for this use; however, the
definition "Medical Institution" most closely described the proposed activity.
Ms. Lind pointed out that "Medical Institution" includes physical or mental
health services, in-patient accommodations, medical and surgical care, and
hospitals; and excludes medical and dental offices, convalescent centers,
retirement residences, and group homes.
Ms. Lind stated that staff recommends adding a definition of "Holistic Health
Center" as a type of activity to the zoning code, and then add it into the
"Medical Institution" definition as an included use along with hospitals. The
new definition combines a number of activities intended for the improvement or
maintenance of health, allowing both outpatient and inpatient care and various
supporting accessory activities.
Continuing, Ms. Lind explained that the proposed City Code amendment
includes the holistic health activity within the "Medical Institution" land use.
The amendment also continues the Hearing Examiner conditional use permit for
this type of land use activity in all zones. Additionally, the amendment includes
moving the hospice facility from the "Convalescent Center" definition to the
"Medical Institution" definition, and removing the term sanitarium from the
"Medical Institution" definition.
Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY

AUDIENCE COMMENT
Citizen Comment: Bala -
House Rental Proposal, City-
Owned Property, NE 30th St
Roy Bala, 1416 NE 30th St., #4, Renton, 98056, expressed his interest in
renting a house located on City-owned property at 1404 NE 30th St., which is
intended for future Fire Station #15. Mr. Bala stated that he submitted a
proposal regarding the matter that includes improving the structure. He also
noted that the Fire Department intends to seek a permit to conduct a practice
burn on the house, and before that occurs, he asked Council to consider his
proposal.
Councilman Clawson stated that the income generation is appealing; however,
there may be a request for proposals requirement. He suggested that the
Administration investigate the matter.
Mayor Keolker-Wheeler indicated that it would cost approximately $20,000 to
bring the house up to code before it could be rented out. She explained that
while the City has considered rental agreements with non-profit organizations,
the City is not interested in renting to individuals. The Mayor stated that the
City does intend to demolish the house.
Councilman Corman encouraged Mr. Bala to find other distressed properties to
rent and fix up, especially if he has those types of skills.
