The proposed rezone to CV will consequently result in a higher intensity land use designation on the Comprehensive Land Use Map. Given that the current zoning and proposed zoning are implemented by distinct Comprehensive Plan land use designations, the rezone requires a Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The rezone is needed to advance the City’s and Renton Housing Authority’s (RHA) long-term plans for the redevelopment of Sunset Terrace. RHA has developed a concept and strategy for a $24 million projec t for a 62-unit new construction multi-family housing project on the “Node” in the Sunset area. RHA has developed a concept and strategy for a $24 million project for a 62-unit new construction multi-family housing project on the “Node” in the Sunset area. RHA has identified a partnership and $5 million match funding opportunity with the King County Council for “shovel ready” affordable housing projects. While RHA does not have a “shovel ready” project per se, RHA has identified a site in the Sunset neighborhood and presented an expedited development process that would have the project under construction in twelve months. However, the proposed multi-family housing development exceeds the maximum density permitted in the zone where the project is located. Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map: Code and text of the Comprehensive Plan indicate that the Commercial Neighborhood Zone implements the Residential High Density (RHD) land use designation; the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map incorrectly shows the land use designation for CN zoned parcels as Commercial Mixed Use. Capital Facilities – Fire and Emergency Services: Staff proposes to remove Fire and Emergency Services level of service data from the Capital Facilities Levels of Service table. Staff proposes to replace this information with a note that will direct the reader to the Renton Regional Fire Authority (Renton RFA) Standards of Cover (SOC) document where this information is recorded. In addition, Staff proposes to use this opportunity to make minor updates to the Capital Facilities Element of the Comprehensive Plan to reflect changes made related to the Renton Fire Department.
