SUMMARY OF ACTION: On February 6, 2007, residents of the Preserve Our Plateau Annexation rejected annexation to the City of Renton. The City had adopted a moratorium on the issuance of out-of-City sewer certificates pending the outcome of the annexation election. Now that the election has been decided, the City should repeal the moratorium and resume its standing practice of granting out- of-City sewer certificates at densities consistent with the City's land use policies and pre-zoning. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a resolution rescinding the moratorium on sewer availability for new subdivisions within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area.

Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 449 for ordinance, and page 451 for additional Council action.) Annexation: Maplewood This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Addition, Maple Valley Hwy accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker opened the public hearing to consider the proposed annexation and zoning of 60.5 acres, located south of Maple Valley Hwy. (SR-169), east of 130th Ave. SE, and north and west of the Cedar River(Maplewood Addition). Senior Planner Don Erickson reported that the Boundary Review Board(BRB) approved the original 60.5-acre area as part of an expanded annexation of 345 acres. The first public hearing on zoning for the 345 acres was held on 8/7/2006. He explained that the 11/9/2006 State Supreme Court decision (Interlake Sporting Association vs. Boundary Review Board) invalidates the BRB's authority to expand an annexation area's original boundaries; therefore, this second zoning public hearing is for the original 60.5-acre area. Mr. Erickson stated that the area contains 161 single-family dwellings and an Aquifer Protection Area 1. Both Renton and Maplewood Addition Water Cooperative derive their potable water from sole source aquifers beneath the Cedar River. Reviewing the public services, he indicated that the area is served by Maplewood Addition Water Cooperative, Renton sewer, Cedar River Water and Sewer District, Fire District#25, and the Renton School District. In regards to the fiscal impact analysis, Mr. Erickson indicated that the estimated annual fiscal cost to the City is $39,256. Turning to the zoning of the area, Mr. Erickson reported that existing King County zoning is R-6 (six dwelling units per gross acre), and the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the area as Residential Low Density for which R-4 (four dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed. In conclusion, he relayed staffs recommendation to approve the ordinances. Public comment was invited. Iola Puckett, 15270 Pine Dr., Renton, 98058, stated that she had requested to be a party of record for this matter. However, she clarified that she actually wants to be a party of record for the annexation of the Wonderland Estates Mobile Home Park and the Aqua Barn area. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

CARRIED. (See page 449 for ordinances.) Planning: East Renton Plateau This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in PAA Future Zoning accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker opened the public hearing pa jT(l to consider prezoning for the entire East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation December 11,2006 New Renton City Council Minutes Page 440 Area, which includes the 1,475-acre Preserve Our Plateau Annexation area. The area is located generally east of Union Ave. SE, west of 184th Ave. SE, south of SE 128th St., and north of SE 149th St. The election regarding the Preserve Our Plateau Annexation will be held on 2/6/2007. Planning Manager Rebecca Lind stated that the East Renton Plateau Citizen Task Force was formed in September to advise the City on planning issues related to this 2,091-acre area. Since the first prezoning public hearing held on 11/6/2006, the task force held meetings and arrived at a majority and minority report. City staff arrived at a revised recommendation. Ms. Lind explained that Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates most of the area as Residential Low Density(RLD), and a small portion as Residential Single Family, which allows R-8 (up to eight dwelling units per acre) zoning. The RLD designation allows R-4 (maximum of four dwelling units per acre), R- 1 (maximum of one dwelling unit per acre), and Resource Conservation (maximum of one dwelling unit per ten acres) zoning. Ms. Lind reviewed the mapping criteria for each of the zones. Continuing, Ms. Lind reviewed the areas of zoning where consensus was achieved by the task force majority and minority, and staff. She listed the areas of consensus for the regulations, including design review standards,bonus incentives for quality development, and revisions to the animal regulations. Ms. Lind then reviewed how the minority,majority, and staff recommendations differed, including zoning boundaries and bonus systems. She noted the complexity of the zoning text issues. Ms. Lind stated that the task force considered environmental constraints, Comprehensive Plan mapping policy, and utility availability in formulating its recommendation. She indicated that the major difference between the majority and minority reports is the different interpretation of the definition of pervasive environmental constraints. Ms. Lind detailed the environmental constraints of the area, focusing on topography,hydrology, and utilities. Regarding the next steps, Ms. Lind said the Planning Commission will discuss the issue at meetings on 12/13/2006 and 1/3/2007. She recommended that the matter be referred to the Planning and Development Committee, and a meeting of the Committee be scheduled on 1/4/2007. Public comment was invited. Richard Hutchinson, 14063 171st Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, stating that he lives west of 175th Ave. SE, expressed his support for the staff recommendation. He pointed out that the area west of 175th Ave. SE has the least vegetation,streams and wetlands, and has minimal slopes. Mr. Hutchinson opposed having to go to extra lengths to bonus up to R-4 zoning in order to build another house on his property. Pat Giorgetti, 16904 SE 142nd St., Renton, 98059, said he resides in the same area as the previous speaker. He referred to an area-stream as a drainage ditch for storm runoff, and voiced his support for the staff recommendation. Rob Graham, 17404 SE 140th St.,Renton, 98059, stated that his property is correctly zoned R-4. He agreed with the task force's minority report in regards to allowing subdivision of property without requiring sewer and encouraging logical development at maximized density. David Buckner, 1416 Jones Ave. NE., Renton, 98056, spoke on behalf of the owner of properties at 166th Ave. SE and SE 128th St. He expressed support December 11,2006 Renton City Council Minutes ` Page 441 for the R-4 zoning of the property. Mr. Buckner asked that affected parties be provided with information that includes the recent changes, and that additional hearings be held on the matter. Chip Hanauer, 2702 NE 88th St., Seattle, 98115, spoke in support of R-4 zoning for previous speaker Rob Graham's property. Mr. Hanauer pleaded for fairness, consistency, and empathy in this decision making process, asking that affected citizens'prior planning for their property be respected. Gwendolyn High, 13405 158th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, introduced herself as the president of CARE(Citizens'Alliance for a Responsible Evendell), noting that the group is the proponent for the proposed annexation. She stated that the majority report and staff recommendation take into account the shared impacts resulting from developments, such as water drainage. Ms. High made suggestions regarding the use of bonuses, emphasizing that if allowed,the bonus criteria must be clearly defined. She concluded by pointing out the importance of minimizing unintended consequences. Dermont Christensen stated that he is building a house at 14228 171 st Ave. SE, Renton, 98059,and voiced his support for R-4 zoning of the property. Mr. Christensen relayed that affected residents are concerned about how the zoning changes will affect them. He indicated that if their concerns and fears are not allayed, residents will vote no on the annexation due to a lack of information regarding the issues. Stephanie Lorenz,4725 NE 4th St., Suite B, Renton,98059, spoke on behalf of the task force minority. She explained why the minority changed the zoning recommendation from R-1 to R-4 on the mostly King County-owned northern peat bog area. Ms. Lorenz also pointed out an R-1 southern boundary line that may need to be changed. Additionally, she stated that the minority feels the area abutting 175th Ave. SE should remain R-4 with a base density of two. Ms. Lorenz indicated that the bonus criteria will ensure better quality development. Finally, Ms. Lorenz expressed her concern that the Master Builders Association and Futurewise(public interest group) may not be doing their best work for the area. Robert Krauss,2708 NE 24th St., Renton, 98056, indicated that he owns property in the area that should be zoned R-4 without any bonuses due to the surrounding zoning. Garrett Huffman, South King County Manager of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, 335 116th Ave. SE, Bellevue, 98004, stated that an R-1 zone inside the Urban Growth Boundary is inappropriate. Mr. Huffman emphasized that the adopted critical areas ordinance addresses sensitive areas; therefore, the area should be zoned R-4. Correspondence was read from Robert Graham, 17404 SE 140th St., Renton, 98059, stating that his property is correctly zoned at R-4, and a downzone will devalue his property. Mr. Graham indicated his preference to remain in King County if R-1 zoning is adopted. Correspondence was read from Tom Carpenter, 15006 SE 139th Pl., Renton, 98059, encouraging Council to favor the recommended R-1 zoning proposals in the task force majority report until such time as adequate hydrology information becomes available.

MOVED BY LAW, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL REFER THIS ITEM TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE. CARRIED. Planning: Highlands Subarea This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Plan Study Area Moratorium accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker opened the public hearing to consider the continuation of the moratorium on new development in the R-10 zone within the Highlands Study Area. The moratorium, which was declared on 11/13/2006, terminates on 5/13/2007. Planning Manager Rebecca Lind stated that the current R-10 zone does not effectively implement the Comprehensive Plan. Many existing lots can be subdivided at a standard that is below the single-family lot size standard included in the Highlands Zoning Task Force recommendation. She indicated that this lower density subdivision is not consistent with the Center Village Comprehensive Plan designation or proposed zoning. Additionally, Ms. Lind stated that the task-force-recommended design guidelines are not in place. Pointing out that the Highlands land use and zoning package has been appealed, Ms. Lind explained that the moratorium achieves the following: allows time for the resolution of the SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act) appeal, eliminates the need for interim zoning changes to the R-10 zone, and supports the goal of achieving more efficient land use in the Highlands. She noted that the moratorium can be removed early if the new zoning is in place. Public comment was invited. Kirk Moore, 1901 Harrington Circle NE, Renton, 98056, stated that the original moratorium was due to expire prior to implementation of the new land use and zoning amendments that the task force and staff worked hard to develop. He emphasized that the moratorium only prevents the subdivision of R-10 zoned property and does not prevent property improvements. Mr. Moore said the proposed R-14 zoning restricts lot sizes to 5,000 square feet,while R-10 zoned lots can be subdivided to 3,000 square feet. He indicated that the task force reluctantly requested the moratorium. Mr. Moore pointed out the possibility of changing the R-10 zoning to allow 5,000 square foot minimum lots, which could be done in place of the moratorium. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2006 and beyond. Items noted included: * The Renton Youth Symphony Orchestra performs its Holiday Concert at Carco Theatre on December 16. * The 2007 Winter/Spring "What's Happening..."brochure of recreation programs is now available. (Y EAST RENTON PLATEAU PREZONING PUBLIC HEARING COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF THE EAST RENTON PLATEAU CITIZEN'S TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS December 11,2006 On November 6,2006, the Council held the first public hearing on the prezoning for the approximately 2,126 acres of the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area (PAA). Council will consider the revised recommendations of the East Renton Plateau Citizen Task Force on the prezoning of the unincorporated portions of the East Renton Plateau at this second public hearing tonight. The Task Force has revised its preliminary recommendations based on public input. The Task Force has concensus on the following issues: • Design Guidelines should be required for all areas. • A bonus overlay district should be enacted to allow properties without pervasive environmental constraints to be developed at the maximum Residential Low Density Comprehensive Plan designation densities. • Resource Conservation—should be mapped for the southwest and westernmost portions of the mapped area where there are designated steep slopes. • R-8—should be mapped for a small area(6.5 acres) on a western tip of the mapped area. • R-1, with a bonus up to two dwelling units per acre—should be mapped for the eastern and southeast portion of the area. The Task Force has prepared a majority and minority report on the R-4 portion of the recommendation. Majority Recommendation: The Task Force recognizes that while the area that is designated R-1 has environmental constraints and lacks sewer service, it is likely that there are some parcels that are not heavily constrained with environmental limitations. The Task Force majority recommends a two tier bonus system where: • the area to the east of 175th Ave SE would be R-1 with a bonus up to a maximum density of two dwelling units per acre. The area east of 175th Ave SE is designated with a lower density bonus due to the pattern of development in the area, the lack of sewer service in the area,and the pervasive creek and steep slopes that characterize this area. • the area to the west of 175th Ave SE would be R-1 with a bonus up to four dwelling units per acre. Minority Recommendation: The Task Force minority recommends that the boundary line for the R-1 designation be drawn at 175th Ave SE. The area west of 175th Ave SE is proposed as R-4 with a base density of two dwelling units per acre and a bonus up to four dwelling units per acre with the bonus criteria. The R-4 overlay with bonus criteria is considered to be the best option for the entire R-4 area by the minority group. Higher quality development than that along NE 4th is a priority.

The R-4 overlay for the entire R-4 area is considered to be the best option by the minority group because doing so will result in a win-win-win as described below. 1) Win for property owners. a. This area is currently zoned King County R-4. Retaining the R-4 density will insure consistency in zoning and corresponding property values. b. The base of 2 will allow for simple subdivision by individuals without incurring the 'red tape,' time,or costs commonly associated with more complex/maximum density development. As proposed, sewer would not be required for the base of 2. c. R-4 Overlay for the entire R-4 area will insure equality in zoning for every property owner. d. R-4 Overlay(as proposed)will require developers to meet basic but effective development standards, including hydrology reports,to better protect properties neighboring maximized density development areas from the residual effects of water run off and other common issues associated with maximized density development. 2) Win for the City. a. R-4 Overlay for the entire area will provide efficient consistency in application of the zoning code for staff. b. Sewer to/very near 175th is anticipated in the near term. Sewer service east of 175th will likely be substantially farther into the future. *The minority group does not consider the possible necessity of a lift station results in the unavailability of urban services. To illustrate this point, please note L31, L34,and L36; three stations currently in use in the immediate plateau area. c. R-4 Overlay(as proposed)will enable the City to collect for community improvements from the immediate area for services in the immediate area. d. R-4 Overlay is the best hope for increasing the standard of improvements to the immediate area by increasing the requirements that will result in higher quality design. (By far,the most common complaint is the lack of character along NE 41h. Improving the aesthetics of the area to, from,and within forthcoming developments is a priority for the citizens,the residents,and therefore the task force.) e. Base density of 2 will further establish Renton's reputation as user friendly for the average, private property owner. 3) Win for Developers. a. R-4 Overlay will insure maximum density of logical buildable lands within the UGB. b. R-4 Overlay will encourage higher quality development thus returning higher profits. It is important to note that the Planning staff met and presented the R-4 Overlay idea to prominent developers in Renton. They commented that they like the idea and that the proposed requirements for maximum density would not add significant additional costs. The minority group agrees that successfully maximizing density in the R-4 Overlay zone would require the implementation of variable lot sizes,variety of product elevations, clustering and other basic development criteria. Finally,we would like to note that the R-1 zone seems to have an abundance of topographical and hydrological elements that very clearly dictates R-1 zoning. Flea rl t5 s f0/idan- East golfo4 RECEiVEd f/a/zeav P4A. To Renton city council DEC 0 d 2006 Prezon/n9 Renton planning& Development RENTON CiN GOUNCIt -gi ld-(je l l v-OUCL Dear city council member, My name is Robert Graham and I live in the Renton Plateau at 17404 se 140`h ST. I wrote a letter to you and spoke at your last council meeting regarding the potential rezone of my property. I have had quite an education over these last few weeks and sleep has not come easy. I've learned that right or wrong seem to have no place in this matter,what appears to matter most is that the city of Renton appeases enough voters from our area to get it's annexation pushed through. I now believe,as do many others that the city is well aware that our zoning is as it should be. We are within two blocks of all three schools, seven hundred feet from planned sewer and very close to 128th,which is the main arterial;heck,we even have our own two fire hydrants. Why did Renton zone it R-4 in the first place? Why does King County feel the R-4 zoning is the proper and correct zoning?The answer is,because it is currently zoned responsibly and correctly. I have yet to hear anyone from the city of Renton give any sort of justification for down grading my zoning. If there were concerns over critical areas would they not be covered by the critical areas ordinance? Does the city of Renton trust this ordinance to be effective? I've heard the argument that because of sensitive areas our area would only get one home per acre anyway. If this is true why bother changing my zoning? Why have an urban growth boundary if within it you put rural zoning? I believe my property has everything necessary for a very good development, including a buyer. If this zoning is adopted it will devalue my property by approximately one and a half million dollars. Since initiative 933 failed I can't imagine how I might be compensated for this. I understand that the city wants its task force to develop a proposal, Will they be asked by the council for justification at some point? I had not envisioned being an opponent of annexation however if the council would adopts R-1 zoning for my property I would much rather remain in King County. In the event that annexing the plateau fails would I still be forced to abide by Renton's comprehensive plan? I have written letters and pleaded my case at the council meeting, I have written letters to your task force and provided detailed pictures of my property. I have not heard from anyone who will answer these questions. I understand you are all very busy however I wonder if a council member may be willing to sit down with me to explain why my property was proposed for a downgrade in zoning with no apparent justification, other than possibly additional annexation votes.

Tom Carpenter ISoob SE /34'4 i' Rehtar,, AA 9r®s9 Official input to the City Council public comment on the plateau east of Renton Tom Carpenter; 15006 SE 139th Place, Renton, WA 98059. I'm a member of the east Renton plateau Citizens' Task Force and thank Renton for their willingness to create such a means for PAA resident engagement. I'm also an elected member of the Four Creeks Unincorporated Area Council (FCUAC) whose boundaries include the unincorporated areas on the plateau. The FCUAC's three highest priorities include assuring a comprehensive and sensitive plan involving Renton, King County, and the residents be built and managed. Although the Citizens' Task Force has not yet reached consensus on pre-zoning, it is our intent to get to that point and we make progress each time we meet. As with similar things the City Council has to deal with, the subject of pre-zoning has a number of facets that can make it difficult to work through without separating them out and understanding each fully. The subjects that have been discussed in the context of zoning are shown in this table: Zoning Property Design Hydrology/ Value Standards Topography Bonuses Property Value relates to the effect zoning(e.g. R-1 vs. R-4) can have on both perceived and actual individual property resale value. Design Standards relates to the strong desire to create design reviews prior to actual development to mitigate some of the tragic problems seen thus far as the build-out proceeds. Hydrology/Topography relates to the unique attributes of the plateau as a watershed, particularly in the eastern-most third of the PAA. Bonuses relates to the idea of incentivizing developers (carrot not stick) to go beyond minimal requirements in certain areas (e.g. exceeding vegetation retention/replanting requirements, when passed by the Council). The bonuses would take the form of aurhotizing additional dwelling units per acre. Renton Zoning Code "The Residential-1 Dwelling Unit Hydrology/Topography relate most to the Renton Per Net Acre Zone (R 1) is Policy that is used to define the criteria for zoning established to provide and protect R-1 while Property Value (along with GMA suitable environments for density targets) relate most to the push to zone residential development of lands areas R-4. characterized by pervasive critical areas where limited residential Unfortunately, there is insufficient hard and development"will not experiential data relating to hydrology to compromise. 1 accurately describe the significant role the plateau plays as a watershed to both the Cedar River and May Creek, the latter being severely influenced by silt runoff from both the plateau and the southern slope of Cougar Mountain. This information is also necessary to effectively design both surface- and ground-water protection requirements for the plateau. The Citizens' Task Force will be strongly recommending that a comprehensive hydrology analysis be conducted on the plateau. Until such time as that information became available, and based on Task Force members knowledge of the plateau, I recommend that the City Council pre-zone to the lower densities recommended by the majority of the Task Force. Although no member of the Task Force is interested in unnecessarily impacting a property owner's land investment, that factor(Property Value) should not, at the present time, drive us toward higher densities risking the complex and critically important subject of water management, particularly when the plateau is viewed in its entirety, not just at the individual parcel level. Its much easier to rezone in the future from R-1 to R-4 than it is to do the opposite. I have lived on the plateau for over 25 years now and am quite familiar with the specific areas in question and have recently visited each area to assess its condition and the effect water has on these properties, either as a watershed source or as an area impacted by both surface and ground water runoff. Erosion on the slopes above the Cedar River and silt deposited from the plateau in May Creek tell us that the plateau has significant water-related characteristics. I strongly encourage the City Council to favor the recommended R-1 zoning proposals in the Task Force majority report until such time as adequate hydrology information becomes available. 2 0 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ` ® ± NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC • PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: December 7, 2006 TO: Randy Corman, Council President Members of the Renton City Council FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator 1W STAFF CONTACT: Rebecca Lind, Long Range Planning Manager(x6588) SUBJECT: East Renton Plateau Prezoning We are forwarding a draft updated East Renton Plateau Task Force report and recommendation to you for discussion at the public hearing Monday evening. This report in still in"draft" form and has not received final Task Force action. The draft Task Force report includes both Majority and Minority Recommendations. In addition, the staff developed an alternative compromise recommendation for discussion by the Task Force and Planning Commission. This third option is included in your packet as a map entitled"Staff Recommendation." The Task Force has consensus on the following issues: • Design Guidelines should be required for all areas. • A bonus overlay district should be enacted to allow properties without pervasive environmental constraints to be developed at the maximum Residential Low Density Comprehensive Plan designation densities. • Resource Conservation—should be mapped for the southwest and westernmost portions of the mapped area where there are designated steep slopes. • R-8 —should be mapped for a small area(6.5 acres) on a western tip of the mapped area. • R-1, with a bonus up to two dwelling units per acre— should be mapped for the eastern and southeast portion of the area. The Task Force has prepared Majority and Minority Reports on the R-4 portion of the recommendation. Majority Recommendation: The Task Force recognizes that while the area that is designated R-1 has environmental constraints and lacks sewer service, it is likely that there are some parcels that are not heavily constrained with environmental limitations. The Task Force majority recommends a two-tier bonus system where: h:\ednsp\paa\annexations\east renton plateau paa\east renton plateau task force\staff recommendation on task force report.doc Randy Corman,Council Print 40100 Page 2 of 3 December 7,2006 • the area to the east of 175th Ave SE would be R-1 with a bonus up to a maximum density of two dwelling units per acre. The area east of 175th Ave SE is designated with a lower density bonus due to the pattern of development in the area, the lack of sewer service in the area, and the pervasive creek and steep slopes that characterize this area. • the area to the west of 175th Ave SE would be R-1 with a bonus up to four dwelling units per acre. Minority Recommendation: A Task Force minority of three members recommends that the boundary line for the R-1 designation be drawn at 175th Ave SE. The area west of 175th Ave SE is proposed as R-4 with a base density of two dwelling units per acre and a bonus up to four dwelling units per acre with the bonus criteria. The R-4 overlay with bonus criteria is considered to be the best option for the entire R-4 area by the minority group. Higher quality development than that along NE 4th is a priority. Staff Alternative Concept: Staff concurs with the R-1 recommendation for the area east of 175th Ave SE and all of the other mapping recommendations for R-8, and Resource Conservation. Staff also concurs with the recommendation to establish design guidelines for this area. The staff concern relative to the Majority Recommendation is that a two- tier bonus system within the R-1 zoning would be complicated and difficult to administer. The staff has concern with the Minority Recommendation to downzone within the entire R-4 area to a base density of two dwelling units per acre,with use of a bonus criteria up to four dwelling units per acre. However, staff does concur with the Task Force that additional design and development regulations are needed to ensure that quality housing and site planning occurs in the area. Staff favors stronger mandatory requirements in the R-4 zone and supports the use of a bonus in the R-1 zone to two dwelling units per acre. Staff recommends as follows: • Concur with the Majority Recommendation for the mapping of the Gun Club and Sky Fire subdivision along the ridgeline as R-1 with a bonus to two dwelling units per acre. • Concur with the Minority Recommendation that the area west of 175th Ave SE would have R-4 zoning. • Disagree with the Minority Recommendation about creating a base density of two and using a bonus criteria to achieve quality development in the R-4 zone. Alternatively,: o upgrade the mandatory development standards within the R-4 zone to achieve a different character site planning, vegetation preservation, and community character than is currently being built within this area; and o include criteria now drafted as "bonus criteria" in the R-4 development standards as mandatory requirements—eg. design guidelines and low- impact development standards for drainage and grading. These ideas will require further research and review in the form of zoning text amendments to the R-4 and R-1 zoning designations.

Next Steps: Staff is continuing to work with the Task Force to achieve a consensus recommendation of mapping prior to the February annexation election. The Task Force will meet prior to the Council public hearing Monday evening to consider these Minority and Staff Recommendations. The Planning Commission is holding a special meeting on December 13, 2006, to continue its review of these issues after the public hearing. The Commission will make its final recommendation January 3, 2007. At the conclusion of the public hearing, staff recommends that the issue of prezoning the East Renton Plateau be referred to the Planning and Development Committee and that a Planning and Development Committee meeting be announced for January 4, 2007, to receive the final Task Force and Planning Commission recommendations on this issue. Assuming resolution of these issues in this timeframe, ordinances would be presented to the Council for first and second reading January 8, 2007. cc: Mayor Keolker Jay Covington h:\ednsp\paa\annexations\east renton plateau paa\east renton plateau task force\staff recommendation on task force report.doc DRAFT Final Recommendation of the East Renton Plateau Citizens Task Force DRAFT VI° December 6, 2006 City of Renton j °�j Department of: A' Economic Development, Neighborhoods, Strategic Planning Alex Pietsch, Administrator s� www.rentonwa.gov/business/default.aspx?id=2778 NT The East Renton Plateau Citizen Task Force was appointed by Mayor Kathy Keolker on September 25, 2006 Task Force Members: Kerry Abercrombie Rhonda Bryant Tom Carpenter Bob Chamberlain Sheila Hurst Stephanie Lorenz Brian Thomas Michael Turner Kevin Wyman Draft Only ' Datodified: December 6,2006 The East Renton Plateau Citizen Task Force is composed of a group of citizen volunteers, appointed by the Mayor, approved by the City Council, and established to review community-planning issues.

Purpose: The purpose of the Task Force is to make recommendations on area pre- zoning for the portion of the East Renton Plateau that is within the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). Another purpose of the Task Force is to make recommendations regarding community-planning issues relevant to the East Renton Plateau, such as transportation, parks, community character, and the transition from urban to rural areas. Finally, the Task Force will also review the adopted City of Renton Comprehensive Plan vision for the East Renton Plateau. This report is the final report identifying the proposed pre-zoning recommendations of the Task Force for the Plateau and the associated policy changes pursuant to the zoning recommendation. Additionally, the Task Force has made a recommendation regarding changes to the City of Renton animal regulations in response to significant concern from residents of the East Renton Plateau. The Task Force: The Task Force membership is comprised of nine volunteer members of the East Renton Plateau community who are business owners, employees, property owners, and/or residents who represent locations throughout the Potential Annexation Area (PAA). Task Force members were appointed by the Mayor and ratified by City Council. Mission/Goals: The primary goal for the Task Force was to develop a Proposed Pre- Zoning Map for the East Renton Plateau within the UGB. There has been a significant amount of public input through public meetings, emails, letters, phone messages, and in person at Task Force meetings. The Task Force considered all comments and many of those comments are reflected in this final recommendation. Next, members will begin working on the goal of making further recommendations regarding other issues they have identified as significant to the East Renton Plateau, such as transportation, parks, community character, and a possible new zoning designation. In order to formulate this pre-zoning recommendation there was a significant amount of information and City of Renton policies that members were required to develop a familiarity with. Some of that information included: • Pre-zoning proposals and processes • Planning, Growth Management, and Zoning • Existing City policies for the area and City responsibilities under Growth Management ISk sic Page 1 of 5 Draft Only `"" Date Modified: December 6,2006 Process: The Task Force has met weekly with City staff. After initial briefing sessions, each member developed his or her own recommendations for the pre-zoning map. These individual maps were then grouped into three general overarching concepts: a significant amount of R-1 low density residential, a blend of R-1 with R-4, and somewhat more R-4 residential. Members achieved consensus on the identification of critical areas, and on most of the areas to be identified as R-4 and R-1. City staff then examined the three concept maps for consistency with City of Renton zoning code and mapping criteria. The Task Force consolidated the three maps with City code to establish a proposed map that meets Renton Zoning Code and mapping criteria. The Task Force has received input from fellow Plateau community members and property owners at the public meetings that has helped provide insight and is reflected in the final recommendation for the proposed pre-zoning map. Constraints: The East Renton Plateau is an area with some significant environmental constraints. As a plateau it has areas with steep slopes of greater than 40 percent grade, streams that flow off the Plateau into the Cedar River and May Creek, and wetlands. As shown on Table-1 these environmental constraints dictate a zoning designation of either Resource Conservation or R-1 in the related areas. The area is designated for additional growth under the King County and Renton Comprehensive Plans. Because there is vacant land the area has capacity for future growth. While there is pressure for development at the present time, the lack of sewer is a constraint on development. Steep slopes, streams, and wetlands make sewer extension costly and unlikely until growth pressure elevates the value of those areas. Due to these significant environmental constraints, the area is likely to remain on septic systems for the foreseeable future. The City of Renton's Comprehensive Plan: All zoning is required by law to be consistent with the City of Renton's existing Comprehensive Plan and zoning policies. The current designation under the Comprehensive Plan is Residential Low Density (RLD), with a very small area designated Residential Single Family (RSF). The City's RLD Land Use designation allows for three possible classifications: 1 dwelling unit/10 acres (RC), 1 dwelling unit/acre (R-1), and a maximum of 4 dwelling units/acre (R-4). The RSF Land Use designation allows for densities from 4 dwelling units/acre to 8 dwelling units/acre. The Proposed Pre-Zoning Map of the area meets all requirements of consistency with the Renton Comprehensive Plan. The Map almost exclusively RLD Land Use with a 6.15 acre area designated RSF. The Comprehensive Plan outlines the mapping criteria for each zoning designation and has been applied to this map. Table 1 outlines the details of the mapping criteria for each designation. The Final Pre-Zoning Map: The attached map is the Final Pre-Zoning Map for the East Renton Plateau. It reflects the areas of consensus identified by the Task Force. Members have proposed a map that is the best application of Renton's adopted residential low- density policies from the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Properties have Page 2 of 5 DiZ Draft Only %me Dat odified:December 6,2006 been designated with R-1 zoning where the Task Force documented pervasive critical areas within a large area based on environmental constraints included in the City's GIS inventory, information submitted by the public and information from the United States Geological Survey. The Final Recommended Pre-Zoning Map has been submitted to the Planning Commission. The Final Map is intended to balance the pressure of development inside the UGA while addressing environmental constraints and maintaining environmental quality. In general terms, the following pre-zoning designations have been applied to the following areas: • Resource Conservation — proposed for the southwest and westernmost portion of the mapped area. • R-1 —proposed for the eastern and southeast portion of the mapped area. Also, for a portion of the northeastern area. • R-4—proposed for essentially the remainder of the mapped area. • R-8 — proposed for a small area (6.5 acres) on a western tip of the mapped area. Bonus Overlay: The Task Force recognizes that while the area that is designated R-1 has environmental constraints and lacks sewer service; it is likely that there are some parcels that are not heavily constrained with environmental limitations. The Task Force recommends implementation of a bonus overlay district intended to allow for properties without environmental constraints, to be developed at the maximum Residential Low Density Comprehensive Plan designation densities. Therefore, it is recommended that: In order for any property to be eligible for a density bonus it would be necessary to demonstrate that any development of the property could be achieved without any alteration of critical areas and/or variances on grading, filing and alteration of wetlands, or dewatering of the site. If a property could be developed according to the aforementioned standards, then upon achievement of additional bonus criteria a property could achieve bonus density. The bonus criteria will include provisions that help retain the environmental integrity of the R-1 designated area. The Task Force recommends a two tier system where: • the area to the east of 175th Avenue Southeast can bonus up to a maximum density of two dwelling units per acre • the area to the west of 175th Avenue Southeast can bonus up to four dwelling units per acre. The area east of 175th Avenue Southeast is designated with a lower density bonus due to the pattern of development in the area, the lack of sewer service in the area, and the pervasive creek and steep slopes that characterize this area. An outline of recommended bonus criteria is attached. Page 3 of 5 Draft Only Date Modified: December 6,2006 Draft Minority Report: Abercrombie, Lorenz, and Wyman Prezoning Map: The minority group is in consensus with the Task Force on the zoning designations for the Resource Conservation area, the R-4 area, and R-8. The area that the minority group proposes alternate mapping is for the R-1 designation, specifically parcels A and C. The minority recommendation is to: • delineate the boundary line for the R-1 designation at 175th Avenue Southeast. The area west of 175th Avenue Southeast zoned as R-4 designation with a base density of two dwelling units per acre and a bonus up to four dwelling units per acre with bonus criteria. **Please note the R-4 overlay with bonus criteria is considered to be the best option (by far) for the entire R-4 area by the minority group. Higher quality development than that along NE 4th is a priority. • The area to the east of this boundary should remain R-1, with a bonus up to two dwelling units per acre. Rationale: The area west of this suggested boundary is not as severely limited by pervasive environmental constraints, especially topographical, as the area to the east. The area to the east of 175th Avenue Southeast has significant topographical constraints that make the extension of sewer to this area challenging and cost prohibitive. The City of Renton's Critical Areas Ordinance is expected to sufficiently mitigate impacts of development on environmentally constrained property, such as may be present in some cases west of 175th Avenue Southeast. Additional Minority Recommendations: Strongly encourage further refinement of the Bonus Overlay density option. csAl°1 Page 4 of 5 Draft Only Dateleodified:December 6,2006 Application of these zoning designations is consistent with the Renton Zoning Code purpose statements. These Zoning Code statements are available in Table 1. Additional Recommendations: The Task Force recommends that the City of Renton: • change the appropriate policies to eliminate the restriction on cluster development that requires cluster development to be located within 600 feet of the R-8 designation. Cluster development should be allowed anywhere in the R-4 zone. • change animal regulations to allow two large animals per acre. o Also, the clause in City code that does not allow for animal replacement when use in non-conforming should be eliminated. o The Task Force recommends the right of grandfathered non-conforming animals remain with the property if the property is sold, rather than the right to non-conforming animal use being discontinued upon the sale of the property. o Finally, it is recommended that applications for greater number of animals than allowable be changed from a Hearing Examiner conditional use to an Administrative Conditional Use. • require adherence to design guidelines for the R-4 area, as well as, in order to achieve a bonus in the R-1 area. Possible bonus criteria are attached. Next Steps: The East Renton Plateau Task Force has identified many topics that they look forward to working on in the future. Some of those issues are: traffic, parks, community character, function as a transition area, community vision, design guidelines, and a possible new zoning designation. After the Task Force has completed their work on these issues, they will have completed the scope of their work. The Task Force will not act in an advisory capacity on any actual development activity in the area. tA?' 1145:C Page 5 of 5 Attachment 1 Recommended Design Standards Required for All Development in R-4 and R-1 with Bonus Design standards to include Housing mix • A percentage of lots to have variation in widths • A percentage of lots to have a varied exterior model type • Identical house models not allowed on adjacent and abutting lots Plat and access plan Allow clustering throughout the R-4 zone Limit the number of curb cuts Disallow flag lots Allow a shared driveway serving two houses to reduce curb cuts Allow two or more lots with one curb cut as a "courtyard" form of development. Architectural Standards (already in code for cluster development in R-4) • Decorative hip or gable roofs with a pitch equal to or greater than 1:2 • Windows and doors with decorative trim at least 4 inches in width on any side of the house with street frontage • Eaves projecting at least 18 inches from the face of the building on at least 75% of the buildings exterior perimeter • Horizontal fascia at least 10 inches deep on all sides of the structure Street frontage landscape and fencing standards Fencing to be stained or painted and include decorative treatment Materials allowed include wood, concrete, brick Landscape material to provide Canopy trees A mix of deciduous and evergreen Ground cover in the required setback Submittal requirements Parcel layout, conceptual and detailed landscape plan, housing mix plan, dwelling plans and elevations, materials board with material samples and exterior building colors Attachment 2 Recommendations for Bonus System Create an administrative bonus system allowing the Development Services Director to determine administratively the combination of criteria used achieve increased density further mitigate environmental conditions, and enhance site development. The intent of the bonus system is to allow site-specific development to achieve higher density within the allowed range in the Residential Low Density Comprehensive Plan designation, where it can be determined based on site-specific information that environmental quality and high amenity community development can be achieved. Requirements for Bonus 1) Demonstrate that standard building sites are feasible for each proposed unit meeting lot width and depth, and access standards without variances, or alteration of the critical areas and critical area buffers on the site. Variation includes grading, filling and alteration of wetlands and dewatering of the site. 2) If these criteria can be met: Choose from the following options to achieve bonus credits: A. 2 du/ac credit for a low impact grading plan limiting vegetation removal and site grading to the building foot print of proposed structures and proposed roads to encourage an increase in pervious surface, retention of natural site vegetation and reduction of potential erosion, and disruption to the site vegetation, soil, and natural drainage patterns. B. 1 du/ac credit for provision of low impact development standards in the plat that reduces surface water run off and the need for retaining ponds and increasing the amount of surface water than permeates into the soil. Low impact development techniques include use of techniques such as • Pervious surface, • Drought resistant native vegetation, • bioswales C. 1 du/ac credit for site consolidation to a land area(3 acres)to allow efficient site planning including • Ingress and egress with an interconnecting interior road system • Provision of at least 20% of the site in open space and pathways in addition to required sidewalks or setbacks D. .5 du/ac credit for tree retention/replanting above the minimum standard of 25% and replanting of 2 street trees per lot and for providing trees that provide water retention, reduce erosion, or for provision of larger caliper trees. ..v.r° N 0 0 " 0 cn ° ,'' 0 . 0 0 C) 0 � c0 4-0 >, a 0 ect • cYd N O bq �. 0 O �* w 0 al 0 -o O o 0 0U 0 - 5., 0 OU • Wlpp0 y w }0) 4 .cc: co s. o u) w Y a? ell 0 M/ N m 3 n °' a? o t)i w ti p. , 6 0 +' E v, cn v, 0 c O 4.4 0 0 O v, c0 0 U • e0 CI, 0 ' cc; •b 'b "0 0 v, C) .4 O 0.C)❑ . c° 0 w ° 0 . .

He indicated that Council December 4,2006 N.wie Renton City Council Minutes Page 426 supported the CARE request to let citizens determine the election outcome regarding the Preserve Our Plateau Annexation prior to providing sewer outside the City. Mr. Pietsch noted that the annexation election has been set for 2/6/2007.

It is recommended that the moratorium be extended with the understanding that: 1) If the election fails, then the moratorium automatically expires or is repealed and King County standards will be used to vest subdivisions with out-of-city sewer requests. 2) If the election passes, then the moratorium will be extended through the time Renton either formally annexes the area or successfully negotiates an interlocal agreement with King County to allow review of subdivisions using Renton development standards. 3) The area of the moratorium shall continue to include that portion of the sewer service area that is within the entire East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area, rather than the smaller area included within the current proposed annexation. The Administration recommends that the moratorium continue to cover the entire East Renton Potential Annexation area, generally defined as that portion of the service area east of the current city limits bounded by the Plat of White Fence Ranch and the urban growth boundary to the north, Plat of Maplewood Heights and the City limits to the west and the urban growth boundary to the south and east.

SUMMARY OF ACTION: In June 2005, the City Council established a moratorium on sewer availabilities for new subdivisions on the East Renton Plateau. At the time, the Council stipulated that if the citizen group, CARE, presented a formal submittal and set a date for an election for annexation, then the moratorium would be extended until the outcome of the election is determined. The moratorium was extended twice to accommodate this process. The present moratorium expires December 5, 2006. The required election petition was presented to the City earlier this year, and King County Division of Records,Elections and Licensing has set February 8, 2006 for an election on this issue. An additional six-month extension will allow the public to vote on the annexation issue prior to further vesting of additional out of city sewer service permits in the East Renton area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Extension of the moratorium for an additional six months. Rentonnet/agnbill/ bh �Y ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ti NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC ' + PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: November 8, 2006 TO: Randy Corman, Council President Members of the Renton City Council VIA: Kathy Keolker, Mayor FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator STAFF CONTACT: Rebecca Lind, Planning Manager (ext. 6588) SUBJECT: Extension of Sewer Moratorium for Sewer Service to New Subdivisions Outside City Limits on the East Renton Plateau ISSUE: Should the City approve an extension of the existing moratorium on sewer availabilities for new subdivisions on the East Renton Plateau for an additional six months? RECOMMENDATION: • Extend the current moratorium on sewer availability for new subdivision requests on the Plateau until the February 2007 election on the proposed POPA annexation, and • If annexation is approved by the voters, extend the current moratorium until the effective date of the annexation. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: In June 2006, in response to a citizen group, CARE, Council passed Resolution 3812 extending a six-month moratorium on sewer availabilities for new subdivisions within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area. Staff is supporting the additional extension of this moratorium because the issues creating the need for this action are not yet resolved. The moratorium was originally put in place to allow consideration of a proposed annexation petition for the East Renton Plateau prior to vesting developable properties under County development standards. The present moratorium expires December 5, 2006. h:lednsplpaalannexationsleast renton plateau paalsewer moratorium extension issue paper11-8-06amended.doc Randy Corman,Council Pent Page 2 of 2 November 8,2006 The original impetus for the moratorium was based on CARE's preference that development meet all of Renton's development standards including lot setbacks, lot width, lot depths, and landscape standards. They believe that the adopted Renton standards best meet their view of preserving the distinct character of their community. CARE is concerned that if the larger parcels of land vest under the lesser standards, then Renton will not be able to effectively implement the new land use policy, adopted by Council in 2004, upon annexation. The CARE leadership also believes that allowing development to occur under King County standards will cause a perception that Renton is not following through on the R-4 zoning. They feel this perception could result in an anti-Renton backlash. These original concerns continue to be voiced by the citizen group leading the annexation effort. Extension of the moratorium will continue the present City position of allowing the election outcome to determine whether the City or County standards will guide development within this community. It is recommended that the moratorium be extended with the understanding that: 1) If the election fails, then the moratorium automatically expires or is repealed and King County development standards combined with Renton land use standards as stipulated in RMC 4-8-0040C1 will be used to vest subdivisions with out-of-city sewer requests. 2) If the election passes, then the moratorium will be extended through the time Renton either formally annexes the area or successfully negotiates an interlocal agreement with King County to allow review of subdivision using Renton development standards. However, an additional public hearing and resolution would be required to extend it beyond six months. 3) The area of the moratorium shall continue to cover the entire East Renton Potential Annexation Area, generally defined as that portion of the service area east of the current city limits bounded by the Plat of White Fence Ranch and the urban growth boundary to the north, Plat of Maplewood Heights and the City limits to the west, and the urban growth boundary to the south and east. CONCLUSION: One of the primary goals for establishing the current code for sewer service outside the city limits was to provide for a long-term vehicle for approaching annexation on the Plateau. Staff continues to believe that this goal will be better achieved by allowing CARE to proceed with its annexation proposal and by providing an additional six-month window of no new sewer availabilities for new subdivisions. By continuing to give this group all the tools possible to work with the property owners in this area, the potential for success is enhanced. cc: Gregg Zimmerman,PBPW Administrator Lys Hornsby,Utility Systems Director Dave Christensen,Utility Engineering Supervisor h:\ednsp\paa\annexations\east renton plateau paa\sewer moratorium extension issue paperl 1-8-06amended.doc CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON RESOLUTION NO.

As they told you, the moratorium was instituted at the request of the people who are advocating for annexation of the area to the City of Renton. During the latest discussions on the extension of the moratorium, it was suggested that sewer hook-ups in the area be allowed if the property owner would agree to build under the City of Renton's proposed zoning for the area and City of Renton building codes. The pro-annexation people received this suggestion positively. Because the Renton City Council feels it is in the best interest of the City and County residents, I am asking for your help in facilitating this suggestion. We believe this will add a positive feeling toward the City of Renton and a future annexation vote. The City cannot continue to have a sewer moratorium in this area for an indefinite time period and, with a likely decision to not hold an annexation election until sometime in 2007, it will become more difficult to extend the moratorium. Your assistance in this matter would be appreciated.

Renton City Council Minutes `..►% Page 181 Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch suggested that the invocation of the BRB's jurisdiction not be limited to include only the school, but allow expansion of the annexation area's boundaries generally. Council discussion ensued regarding a general annexation boundary expansion,the notification of affected parties, the BRB's public hearing process, and the possibility of referring the topic of the boundary expansion to the Planning and Development Committee. Public comment was invited. Inez Petersen, 3306 Lake Washington Blvd. N., #3, Renton, 98056,noted that City policy does not outrank State law. She indicated that affected parties' property taxes may increase as a result of being annexed, and that properties may become legal non-conforming. Dan McFarling, 9636 132nd Ave SW, Renton, 98056, pointed out that he owns one of the three houses in the annexation area.

Utility: Sewer Moratorium in This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in East Renton Plateau PAA accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro Tern Corman opened the t public hearing to consider extending the moratorium on sewer availabilities for new subdivisions within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area (PAA) for an additional six months. The current moratorium expires 6/5/2006. Planning Manager Rebecca Lind explained that the moratorium was enacted in June 2005 in response to a citizens group, Citizens'Alliance for a Responsible Evendell (CARE). The moratorium prevents the issuance of sewer availabilities that allow property owners to vest for development under King County standards. She pointed out that CARE submitted its annexation petition to the City in November 2005. Ms. Lind stated that since the last moratorium extension in December 2005, the Boundary Review Board(BRB)has scheduled the issue for a public hearing on June 14th and 15th. She noted that five to six property owners have been in informal discussions with sewer utility staff regarding sewer service applications. Continuing, Ms. Lind explained that the boundary designated by the annexation petition does not include the entire PAA. However, staff recommends that the moratorium continue to cover the entire East Renton Plateau PAA because some property owners outside the petition boundary may want to be added. Additionally, the BRB has the authority to modify the annexation area by five percent of its proposed acreage, and there is no indication which areas may be June 5,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 182 either included or excluded. Ms. Lind reviewed the differences between the Renton and King County development standards for the area,noting that Renton does not allow multi-family uses. Ms. Lind reported that once the BRB makes its decision,King County will set the annexation election date within 30 days. She noted that the earliest possible election date is November 2006 or in early 2007. In conclusion, she stated that staff recommends that Council extend the existing sewer moratorium for an additional six months. Councilman Persson said he sympathizes with developers who are willing to develop to Renton standards,but cannot do so under King County regulations. He suggested that Council send a letter to the King County Council in efforts to resolve the development issues. Economic Development Administrator Pietsch indicated that the Administration has had extensive discussions with King County about the need for an interlocal agreement that addresses these issues. He noted that even if King County were willing to enter into an interlocal agreement, the agreement process may take longer than this particular annexation process. However,Mr. Pietsch pointed out that an interlocal agreement that covers Renton's entire PAA is needed; therefore, a letter from Council would be helpful. Public comment was invited. Gwendolyn High, President of CARE, 13405 158th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, indicated that although CARE is doing everything it can to more forward with the annexation, the process is at a standstill until the BRB holds its public hearing. She encouraged the City to keep pursuing the interlocal agreement with King County,pointing out that CARE has also been working on this matter as a parallel effort. Ms. High urged Council to extend the moratorium. Garrett Huffman, South King County Manager of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, 335 116th Ave. SE,Bellevue, 98004,voiced his objection to the sewer moratorium extension. He emphasized that affected parties are frustrated with not being able to develop in the area, and he recommended letting the moratorium lapse so they can move forward with their projects. Inez Petersen, 3306 Lake Washington Blvd.N., #3, Renton, 98056, objected to having to provide her personal information. She pointed out that the City is involved with too many projects, and recommended that the City pull back and concentrate on just a few. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 189 for resolution.) AUDIENCE COMMENT Fred Crothamel, 2951 74th Ave. SE, Mercer Island, 98040, indicated that he Citizen Comment: Crothamel - submitted a letter regarding the Highlands area redevelopment, which is listed Highlands Area on the Council meeting agenda under Correspondence. Mr. Crothamel stated Redevelopment that he has initiated arrangements with a developer, and is waiting for the rezoning to take place and the moratorium to end so that he can carry out the City's vision for the Highlands area. He asked the City not to consider the use of eminent domain.

The moratorium was extended for six month on December 5, 2005. The present moratorium expires June 5, 2005. On November 15, 2005, CARE submitted an annexation petition to the City designating an annexation boundary, and calling for an election. The petition was certified by King County Elections on December 19, 2005. The State Boundary Review Board has scheduled the issue for a hearing on June 14 and June 15,2006. Extension of the moratorium will continue the present City position of allowing the election outcome to determine whether City or County standards will guide development within this community. It is recommended that the moratorium be extended with the understanding that: 1) If the election fails, then the moratorium automatically expires or is repealed and King County standards will be used to vest subdivisions with out-of-city sewer requests. 2) If the election passes, then the moratorium will be extended through the time Renton either formally annexes the area or successfully negotiates an interlocal agreement with King County to allow review of subdivisions using Renton development standards. 3) The area of the moratorium shall continue to include that portion of the sewer service area that is within the entire East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area, rather than the smaller area included within the current proposed annexation. The Administration recommends that the moratorium continue to cover the entire East Renton Potential Annexation area, generally defined as that portion of the service area east of the current city limits bounded by the Plat of White Fence Ranch and the urban growth boundary to the north, Plat of Maplewood Heights and the City limits to the west and the urban growth boundary to the south and east. This original boundary should continue to be used because the Boundary Review Board has the authority to modify the annexation boundary by 5% of its proposed acreage, and there is as yet no indication of which areas might be either included or excluded.

RECOMMENDATION: • Extend the current moratorium on sewer availability for new subdivision requests on the Plateau until the proposed election petition presented by Citizen's Alliance for a Responsible Evendell (CARE) is scheduled, and voted upon by the electorate. • If the election falls within the next six months, and if annexation is approved by the voters, extend the current moratorium until either the effective date of the annexation or until approval of an interlocal agreement between the City of Renton and King County. Pursue an interlocal agreement that provides County recognition of Renton development regulations in subsequent subdivisions. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: In December 2005, in response to a citizen group, CARE, Council passed Resolution 3783 extending a six-month moratorium on sewer availabilities for new subdivisions within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area. This was the first extension of the moratorium that has now been in place for one year. Staff is supporting the h:\ednsp\paa\annexations\east renton plateau paa\sewer moratorium extension issue paper5-31-06.doc t Randy Corman,Council Fikoodent `1010 Page 2 of 3 May 31,2006 additional extension of this moratorium because the issues creating the need for this action are not yet r Neither the City nor the citizen's group, CARE, are responsible for t a timline ictating the scheduling and ultimate resolution of the annexation reque The moratorium was originally put in place to allow consideration of a proposed annexation petition for the East Renton Plateau prior to vesting developable properties under County development standards. The present moratorium expires June 5, 2006. Although progress was made toward resolution of the annexation question over the last six month period, the election date is not yet set for this proposal. The petition was submitted to the City on November 15, 2005, and certified by King County Elections on December 19, 2005. The State Boundary Review Board has scheduled the issue for a hearing on June 14 and June 15, 2006. The original impetus for the moratorium was based on CARE's preference that development meet all of Renton's development standards including lot setbacks, lot width, lot depths, and landscape standards. They believe that the adopted Renton standards best meet their view of preserving the distinct character of their community. CARE is concerned that if the larger parcels of land vest under the lesser standards,then Renton will not be able to effectively implement the new land use policy adopted by Council in 2004, upon annexation. The CARE leadership also believes that allowing development to occur under King County standards will cause a perception that Renton is not following through on the R-4 zoning. They feel this perception could result in an anti-Renton backlash. These original concerns continue to be voiced by the citizen group leading the annexation effort. During the last six months, Renton staff participated in a dialogue with King County staff about the possibility of enacting an interlocal agreement authorizing the County to use Renton development standards during this pre-annexation time period. The County staff does not support this approach, stating that if Renton wants to use its development standards, it should annex the area. Extension of the moratorium will continue the present City position of allowing the election outcome to determine whether the City or County standards will guide development within this community. It is recommended that the moratorium be extended with the understanding that: 1) If the election fails, then the moratorium automatically expires or is repealed and King County standards will be used to vest subdivisions with out-of-city sewer requests. 2) If the election passes, then the moratorium will be extended through the time Renton either formally annexes the area or successfully negotiates an interlocal agreement with King County to allow review of subdivision using Renton h:\ednsp\paa\annexations\east renton plateau paa\sewer moratorium extension issue paper5-31-06.doc Randy Corman,Council Prk,...,,,,mt Page 3 of 3 May 31,2006 development standards. However, an additional public hearing and resolution would be required to extend it beyond six months. 3) The area of the moratorium shall continue to cover the entire East Renton Potential Annexation Area, generally defined as that portion of the service area east of the current city limits bounded by the Plat of White Fence Ranch and the urban growth boundary to the north,Plat of Maplewood Heights and the city limits to the west, and the urban growth boundary to the south and east. The original boundary should continue to be used because the Boundary Review Board has the authority to modify the annexation boundary by 5%of its proposed acreage, and there is as yet no indication of which areas might be either included or excluded. In addition, some property owners outside the proposed annexation boundary indicated an interest in being included. An additional petition for lands excluded from the present petition boundary could be received during this six- month moratorium period. CONCLUSION: One of the primary goals for establishing the current code for sewer service outside the city limits was to provide for a long-term vehicle for approaching annexation on the Plateau. Staff continues to believe that this goal will be better achieved by allowing CARE to proceed with its annexation proposal and by providing an additional six-month window of no new sewer availabilities for new subdivisions. By continuing to give this group all the tools possible to work with the property owners in this area, the potential for success is enhanced. cc: Gregg Zimmerman,PBPW Administrator Lys Hornsby,Utility Systems Director Dave Christensen,Utility Engineering Supervisor h:\ednsp\paa\annexations\east renton plateau paa\sewer moratorium extension issue paper5-31-06.doc CITY OF RENTON NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Renton City Council has fixed the 5th day of June, 2006, at 7:00 p.m. as the date and time for a public hearing to be held in the seventh floor Council Chambers of Renton City Hall, 1055 S.

The current moratorium has indeed achieved much in line with the expectations that we sited in our original request: ■ It pushed the"Pause"button on the outside development pressures active in our community so that we have an opportunity to prepare for the annexation election this fall, and • It demonstrated a real, practical and very visible expression of Renton's good faith on one of the issues of highest concern in this community. We urge you to extend this sewer moratorium. We see it as one of many critical steps being undertaken by our community through the larger annexation discussion and process. Progress has been made, but as one of you so shrewdly observed in the original debate, the resolution of the annexation question will, and should, take time. We are doing all we can, and today we look to you to continue to demonstrate forethought and forthrightness by extending this moratorium once again. • It builds on the positive momentum already growing in the community, and • It holds the opportunity window open so that together we can preserve the character of our community and our quality of life. As the Preserve Our Plateau 10% Petition itself says, there are still other vital steps to be checked on the list- particularly the refinement of zoning and building regulations-and we look forward to continued cooperation and progress toward the best future for all of us-for the city, our current neighbors and for the new neighborhoods to come. Please feel free to contact us with any questions, concerns or suggestions that you may have about this or any other issue.

In response to Councilwoman Nelson's inquiry,Mr. Erickson and City Attorney Larry Warren indicated that they do not know what the owners of the mobile home park property plan to do with the property. Public comment was invited. Claudia Donnelly, 10415 147th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, voiced concern regarding surface water runoff from the Aster Park area through her yard to May Creek. She noted that annexation area boundaries are often expanded, and expressed concern that her neighborhood will become part of this annexation. Emphasizing that she wants the opportunity to express her opinion regarding annexation to Renton via the ballot box,Ms. Donnelly requested that her neighborhood, the Aster Park annexation area, and the rest of the King County area participate in the Preserve Our Plateau Annexation election. Jullianne Bruce, 17100 SE 136th St., Renton, 98059,expressed her concern regarding surface water runoff from the increase in impervious surfaces due to development. She stated her desire that the area remain rural, and that the annexation be taken to a vote and not forced upon residents who may not want to annex to Renton. Ms. Bruce also commented that the lifestyles of affected residents are being compromised if it is true that in order to obtain mass transportation funding, urban areas must grow and rural areas must shrink.

Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that approximately 1,630 single-family dwellings exist on this diverse site, and the annexation proposal is in compliance with Boundary Review Board objectives and with relevant City annexation policies. Reviewing the public services, he noted that the site is served by Fire Districts#25 and#10,Water District#90,Renton Sewer, and the Renton and Issaquah School Districts. Mr. Erickson reported that State law requires Council to adopt a resolution either calling for an election, or disapproving the annexation. If Council calls for an election,decisions must be made as to whether or not to include propositions on the ballot regarding future zoning and bonded indebtedness. He explained that despite the projected initial deficit of up to$263,000 and the February 13,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 36 star' �...' need to hire as many as 22 new employees, staff recommends placing the annexation proposal on the ballot. Mr. Erickson pointed out that there are major efficiencies to be gained from annexing a larger area at one time that are not realized with smaller annexations. Continuing,Mr. Erickson indicated that staff is recommending against asking residents to vote on future zoning at this time since the area has not yet been prezoned. He noted that staff intends to hold at least two public hearings on future zoning this summer. Additionally, staff is recommending that the proposition on outstanding indebtedness not be included on the ballot. Retirement of the City's outstanding debt is expected in 2009, and the amount that would be collected from the annexation area is estimated at$62,285. Mr. Erickson stated that if the assumption of the City's outstanding indebtedness is placed on the ballot, the measure would trigger a super majority approval requirement, and would require voter turnout of at least 40% of the total votes cast in the last general election. Regarding Fire District#25, Mr. Erickson noted that the subject annexation area to be served by Renton would remove only 51% of the district's current assessed value; therefore, the district would continue to exist. Mr.Erickson pointed out that if the voters approve the annexation,it is likely to be six months to a year before it is effectuated. He explained that the City and King County will need to enter into various interlocal agreements regarding the transference of county-owned facilities and county services. Mr.Erickson noted that the Mayor will establish a blue ribbon advisory committee comprised of residents and service providers to help with the transition. Turning to the existing moratorium on sewer.availabilities for new subdivisions within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area,Mr. Erickson reported that the moratorium expires prior to a possible annexation effective date. Council will need to decide whether to extend the moratorium, or allow development occurring prior to the effective date to vest to King County standards. Mr. Erickson stated that the following will likely happen if the annexation fails: 1) As the designated sewer provider for this area, the City has already issued over 250 sewer certificates; 2) The existing moratorium will be lifted and new certificates will be issued based upon the City's Comprehensive Plan Residential Low Density land use designation; 3) Future development will continue under King County development regulations; and 4) The existing level of service will continue to decline, based upon King County statements. Concluding that that the annexation proposal serves the best interests and general welfare of the City, Mr. Erickson pointed out that the anticipated initial deficit may be offset with a positive cash flow by the time of full development in ten to fifteen years. Alex Pietsch,Economic Development Administrator,discussed the King County 2004 Annexation Initiative, which calls for annexation by 2012 of most of King County's remaining unincorporated urban areas. The initiative set aside a$10 million fund to assist communities in offsetting some of the negative financial impacts. He reported that the King County executive has expressed his desire to enter into an interlocal agreement that asks Renton to accept the county parks and stormwater properties in the subject area, and to consider hiring county employees. In return, King County agrees to pay Renton$1.15 February 13,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 37 million in real estate excise tax, which is required to be used for infrastructure, and $600,000 in CX funds. Mr. Pietsch noted that the City has requested that half be paid upon a successful election, and half upon effectuation of the annexation. In response to Councilmember inquiries, Mr. Pietsch stated that the CX funds could potentially be used to purchase police cars. He indicated that issues concerning stormwater facilities maintenance costs and park improvements will be discussed in the coming months. Mayor Keolker pointed out that these are the types of issues that will be discussed by the blue ribbon advisory committee. Public comment was invited. Shirley Day, 14412 167th Pl. SE,Renton, 98059,questioned how the annexation area's boundaries were determined, and submitted a letter signed by 78 residents who do not want to be annexed to Renton. She expressed her disappointment with the petitioner's approach to establishing the boundaries, and stated her desire for a hearing with the Boundary Review Board. Gwendolyn High, 13405 158th Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, introduced herself as the president of CARE(Citizens'Alliance for a Responsible Evendell)and the treasurer of the CARE Annexation Committee who is the petitioner of the annexation. Ms. High expressed her happiness with the City's efforts so far with the subject area, including the land use designation and forthcoming tree retention ordinance. She indicated that she is looking forward to working with the City on the annexation process. Claudia Donnelly, 10415 147th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, spoke on behalf of her mother, Roxanne Reynolds, 13016 156th Ave. SE, Renton, 98059, who does not want to annex to Renton. Ms. Donnelly stated that she has been in contact with many residents in the area who do not want to be a part of Renton,and had been left out of CARE's process for boundary establishment. Ms. Donnelly requested that the City ask the Boundary Review Board to review the proposed annexation with a public hearing, and that the annexation area be expanded so all East Renton Plateau area residents can vote on the matter. Additionally she questioned how the City will pay for the new employees and services. Fred Herber,Bennett Development, 12011 NE 1st St., Bellevue,98005, expressed his disappointment concerning the possible extension of the sewer moratorium until after the annexation vote, which is anticipated to occur in the fall. Emphasizing that time delays cost developers and ultimately homeowners, Mr. Bennett requested that the moratorium not be extended when it expires in June. Jullianne Bruce, 17100 SE 136th St.,Renton, 98059, voiced concern about the increase in water runoff due to the increase in impervious surfaces, noting that sensitive areas are especially affected by development. She also stressed the importance of having area residents on the blue ribbon advisory committee. Responding to Ms. Bruce's comment regarding the bonded indebtedness issue, Mayor Keolker clarified that the recommendation not to include the issue on the ballot means that area residents are not going to pay for it. Mayor Keolker stated that the City is not seeking this annexation but is responding to a request. However, she indicated that if residents want to come into the City they are welcome. The Mayor pointed out that if the area remains February 13,2006 Renton City Council Minutes Page 38 in King County, the existing zoning allows denser development than is allowed in Renton. Royden Miser, 13505 166th Ave. SE,Renton, 98059, pointed out that the King County Sheriffs Office has done an outstanding job of preventing crime at Liberty High School. Reporting that a police officer is assigned to the school full time,he inquired if that will continue if the area is annexed to Renton. Additionally, since the school is within the Issaquah School District, Mr. Miser inquired as to the taxing for the school districts. Mayor Keolker said the school district boundaries remain the same,and Mr. Miser will continue to be taxed for only the Issaquah School District. The Renton Police Department will serve the area, and enforcement arrangements will be discussed with the school district. She noted that Renton currently has school resource officers. Jack Case, 16445 SE 135th St., Renton, 98059, inquired if Renton has a critical areas ordinance, noted the presence of beavers in a pond in the annexation area, and inquired if a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling regarding eminent domain will affect his six lots. City Attorney Larry Warren indicated that the court ruling has little or no applicability to the State of Washington. He assured that Renton's critical areas ordinance is much easier to understand and comply with than King County's ordinance. Robert LeCoque, 12916 166th Ave. SE,Renton,98059,noted that he lives near the aforementioned beaver pond,or Cemetery Pond, which is located between 164th and 166th Avenues SE, off of SE 128th St. He reported that this semi- natural occurring pond was modified when King County started creating controlled runoff collection ponds. Mr. LeCoque pointed out the problems with the pond,and stated that he is interested to see how Renton will approach on- going maintenance and correction of existing problems. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

In response to a previous speaker's comment, he noted that adding more density does not result in the set-aside of more funding for mass transportation. Acknowledging that many issues and interests are involved,Mr. Corman indicated that if annexed, the area and its issues will be under local control, which may be advantageous to residents in terms of easier access to government and those more familiar with the area. He expressed his happiness that the matter is going to a vote. February 13,2006 Renton City Council Minutes ,.w ,. Page 39 Councilman Clawson emphasized that development will be less dense if the area is annexed to Renton than if it remains in King County, and the area will receive the same level of serve as the rest of the City. *MOTION CARRIED. (See page 40 for resolution.) Mayor Keolker recommended that citizens direct any questions they may have concerning the annexation to the City of Renton. ADMINISTRATIVE Linda Herzog, Interim Assistant to the CAO,reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2006 and beyond. Items noted included: * The City of Renton, in conjunction with other cities and towns across Washington State, will simultaneously plant a cherry tree at 11:00 a.m. on February 14th. Renton's cherry tree will be planted in Earlington Park. This Statewide celebration, initiated by the Association of Washington Cities,commemorates the 30th anniversary of a gift of 1,000 cherry trees from Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Mild to the City of Seattle in 1976,in recognition of the United State's bicentennial. i An auto theft prevention program is being offered by the Renton Police Department. Combined with locking doors,rolling up windows,and removing all personal belonging from vehicles, a steering wheel locking device(such as The Club)can be an effective auto theft deterrent. Contact the Crime Prevention Unit to purchase this steering wheel locking device. CONSENT AGENDA Items on the consent agenda are adopted by one motion which follows the listing.

'NNW `ftiorof • -eNr-vO� PRESERVE OUR PLATEAU ANNEXATION PUBLIC HEARING COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED 1,475-ACRE ANNEXATION February 13, 2006 The City is in receipt of a Notice of Intention to Commence Annexation Petition from registered voters in the proposed annexation area representing more than 10% of the area's estimated 3,200 registered voters. King County Records, Elections and Licensing Services Division certified the sufficiency of this petition on December 29, 2005. Under state law the City is required to adopt a resolution within 60 days of certification of the petition either rejecting the proposed annexation, or approving it and calling for an election. If it calls for an election the ballot must put forth the proposition whether voters are for or against annexation to the City of Renton. The Council must also decide whether it wants the ballot to contain the proposition of whether voters would be asked to assume their proportionate share of the City's outstanding indebtedness which is currently assessed at about $0.08 per each$1,000 of assessed property value. The Council must also decide whether it wants the ballot to contain a proposition on future zoning. The Administration is recommending against asking residents to vote on future zoning at this time since the subject area has not yet been prezoned. The City anticipates holding public hearings in the community during the summer. The Administration is also recommending that the proposition on outstanding indebtedness not be included on the ballot because the amount that would actually be collected from the area appears to be $80,000 or less, and the outstanding dept (senior housing bonds) is expected to be retired in early 2009. As a result, if Council concurs with the Administration's recommendations, the ballot would only ask voters whether they wished to be annexed to the City of Renton or not. Given the amount of time to required to get an annexation of this type on the ballot, staff are anticipating an election sometime in the fall of 2006. In considering this petition driven annexation the City has decided that residents would receive the same level of service it provides other City residents. Consultant studies indicate that the City would also need to hire additional personnel to do this. The anticipates approximately 25 new employees, including police, fire, public works, etc. to provide this same level of service it provides residents elsewhere in the City. Even with this higher level of service, analysis indicates that most property owners within the annexation area would pay less for property taxes and services than they now do as residents of unincorporated King County. This is true even though the City, unlike the County, collects a 6% utility tax. Council Hearing Handout 02-13-06.doc\ 4410.

The annexation has been named the Preserve Our Plateau Annexation (POPA)by its proponents. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that Council pass a resolution accepting the 10%Notice of Intent petition calling for an election on the proposed annexation in the fall of 2006 without requiring simultaneous adoption of zoning or assumption of bonded indebtedness based on the following information and policies: 1) Fiscal analysis indicates that the City will experience a negative fiscal impact in the near term, but anticipated growth will generate revenues to support services to the entire East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area(PAA) over time. Annexation of this portion of the PAA is a first step to eventual annexation of the entire area. 2) The proposal is consistent with Renton Comprehensive Plan annexation policies. 3) The proposal is consistent with Boundary Review Board (BRB) criteria. 4) The proposal is consistent with Countywide Planning Policies. 5) The City's current bond for the Housing Terrace Senior Housing will be retired in 2009. The amount of revenue that would be generated by the annexation area is relatively small, amounting to $62,285. Including this requirement on the ballot would trigger a 60% voter approval standard. 6) The decision on zoning is more reasonably decided by the City Council after prezoning public hearings and community input on this issue. That decision would be made prior to the annexation election. h:\ednsp\paa\annexations\preserve our plateau\issue paper.doc Randy Corman,Council Prent 44100 Page 2 of 4 February 13,2006 BACKGROUND: On November 15, 2005, the City received a 10%Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings petition from annexation proponents calling upon the Council to hold a public meeting on the issue of annexation. The Notice of Intent petition specifically asks the Council to decide: • whether the City will accept or reject the proposed annexation, • whether it wishes to ask voters to consider the simultaneous adoption of proposed zoning, and • whether it wishes to ask voters to consider paying all or any portion of the City's outstanding indebtedness or incurred prior to or existing at the date of annexation. King County Elections and Records certified the 10%Notice of Intent petition, submitted with more than 390 signatures and needing 320 signatures of registered voters to be valid, on December 19, 2005. Under State law, the City is required to adopt a resolution, within 60 days of certification of the petition, notifying petitioners of its approval or rejection of their call for an election on the issue of annexation. The proposed public hearing on February 13, 2006 is within the mandated 60-day period called for under state law. If the Council agrees to call for an election, the City will pay for the cost. The Council cannot change the boundaries as it would with an annexation using the assessed valuation method, although the Boundary Review Board can modify boundaries during that portion of the review process. If the Council were to decide not to support this annexation it would have to do so by resolution. Renton Comprehensive Plan Compliance: Staff believes that the proposed POPA is in compliance with relevant City annexation policies, specifically Policy LU-36, Availability of infrastructure; Policy LU-37, Contiguous land available for urbanization; Policy LU-38, Future improvements to City services; and Policy LU-42, Environmental quality and urban separators. It is also consistent with Countywide Planning Policy LU-32, Providing for annexation within potential annexation areas. The text of these policies and rationale for compliance with each is provided (see Attachment 2, Comprehensive Plan Annexation Policies and Countywide Planning Policies). Boundary Review Board Objectives: The 1,475-acre annexation area is within Renton's PAA and complies with relevant Boundary Review Board objectives. It has reasonable boundaries, preserves natural neighborhoods and communities, creates and preserves logical service areas, and provides for annexation of unincorporated areas, which are urban in character. In this case, the Urban Growth Boundary defines over three-fourths of the area's boundary. The proposed annexation also includes existing neighborhoods without splitting them. Areas where current annexations are underway were excluded as was the Maplewood Heights Addition and the Maplewood Subdivision south of SE 138th Street. Based upon this, staff believes that the proposed 1,475-acre annexation is generally consistent with relevant Boundary Review Board objectives. h:\ednsp\paa\annexations\preserve our plateau\issue paper.doc Randy Corman,Council Prettent ..Es Page 3 of 4 February 13,2006 Outstanding Indebtedness: The City's only outstanding bonded indebtedness is for the senior housing bond for Houser Terrace. Retirement of this bond is expected in 2009. The City currently collects 0.7861 cents per$1,000 of assessed valuation to pay off this voter approved bond. The estimated cost to the City, if it were to assume the amount that would normally be collected from residents of the 1,475-acre annexation area, is estimated to be$62,285. If the Council chooses to require assumption of the debt, the average household would pay approximately$27 per year from the effective date of annexation to 2009. If the Council chooses to put the assumption of the City's outstanding bonded indebtedness on the ballot, the measure triggers a super majority(60%) approval requirement, rather than the normal 50+%. It also requires voter turnout of at least 40% of the total votes cast in the last preceding general election. The issue of bonded indebtedness can either be combined with the question of annexation, or presented separately. If combined with the annexation question, it also raises the bar for annexation approval to the super majority. ESTIMATED BONDED INDEBTEDNESS AMOUNTS YEAR Senior ' < k ; goA � � . 07 2006 0.07861 per $505,000,000 $39,698 $24.81 N/A $1,000 2007 0.07861 per $561,000,000 $44,100 $25.91 $14,569 $1,000 Sept-Dec 2008 0.07861 per $617,000,000 $48,502 $26.89 $47,716 $1,000 2009 0.07861 per $622,000,000 2009 debt service budgeted and banked $1,000 TOTAL I $62,285 Zoning: State law gives annexing cities using the election method the authority to place the issue of zoning on the ballot. Council must decide whether or not it wishes to place this on ballot at this time, or wait for the area to be prezoned, following public hearings, and then apply the zoning upon the effective date of an annexation. Renton's Comprehensive Plan was amended in November 2004 to create a policy basis for low-density residential use in this area. Zoning could be either R-4 with a maximum density of four units per net acre, R-1 zoning in areas that have pervasive environmental constraints or are urban separators, or Resource Conservation. Staff recommends that prezoning be completed this summer prior to a fall election. Prezoning will require at least two public hearings and a recommendation will be prepared with specific mapping of R-4, R-1, or Resource Conservation areas. The Administration is recommending that this issue not be placed on the ballot. If the h:\ednsp\paa\annexations\preserve our plateau\issue paper.doc Randy Corman,Council PrSligent NINO Page 4 of 4 February 13,2006 election fails, the pre-zoning will still be in place and zoning could be applied later during any future 60% annexation petition process. Additional issues: The POPA raises several additional issues that Council does not need to take action on at this time. Separate handouts are provided on these topics for Council information. These issues will be brought back to Council for direction as more information is prepared about service provision and the timing of a possible transition. CONCLUSION: The proposed 1,475-acre annexation appears to comply with relevant BRB objectives including reasonable boundaries, logical service areas, coherent neighborhoods, and the annexation of areas that are urban in character. It also appears to comply with relevant City Comprehensive Plan annexation policies. While there may be a negative fiscal impact immediately upon annexation, at full development, it appears that the annexation area will have a positive cash flow. There are efficiencies to be gained from annexing a larger area such as this since zoning, transference of service responsibilities, calculation of estimated fiscal impacts, staffing, and governance issues can be handled in a more coherent manner than the same area being annexed incrementally over 10 or 12 years. The Administration therefore recommends that resident voters within the proposed 1,475- acre Preserve Our Plateau Annexation should be allowed to vote on whether they wish to come into the City at this time as part of a larger annexation, remain in unincorporated King County, or continue to be annexed incrementally through development driven annexations. h:\ednsp\paa\annexations\preserve our plateau\issue paper.doc r•liEims1 i low .'!' 11 91 i11 i :E !IIiI!IIIH -7 ZI 3 .,:,,.,,.,... ---35 11 1!h ,., .... _ i ,. 44111.• 4 P...

These include the following policies: Policy LU-36. Encourage annexation where the availability of infrastructure and services allow for the development of urban densities. Renton should be the primary service provider of urban infrastructure and public services in its Potential Annexation area,provided that the City can offer such services in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Because Renton is the designated sewer service provider for the area and currently provides fire services under contract to Fire District 25, which serves most of the area, Renton continues to be the logical service provider for the proposed 1,475-acre annexation area. It is anticipated that Renton will be able to provide these and other services such as road maintenance, surface water management, and parks and recreation in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Policy LU-37. The highest priority areas for annexation to the City of Renton should be those contiguous with the boundaries of the City such as: 1) Lands that are available for urbanization under county comprehensive plan, zoning, and subdivision regulations; and 2) Developed areas where Renton is able to provide basic urban services and local governance to an existing population. The subject 1,475-acre annexation site is contiguous to the City's boundary along portions of its westerly and northern boundary. A majority of its boundary is defined by the Urban Growth Area boundary(virtually everything west of 156th Avenue SE). The subject area is available for urbanization under County policies, zoning, and development regulations and would continue to be under Renton's Comprehensive Plan policies, zoning and development regulations. Policy LU-38. Support annexations that would result in future improvements to City services or eliminate duplication by service providers. Services include water, sanitary sewer, storm water drainage, utility drainage basins, transportation,park and open space, library, and public safety. The City is the designated sewer service provider for this area and currently issues certificates of sewer availability to County residents. King County is currently negotiating with the City regarding the transference of County parklands if the annexation is successful. The City would develop these as parks and open space. Upon annexation the City would also take over from Fire District 25 those areas within its portion of the annexation area. Since the City currently provides fire prevention and H:\EDNSPU'AA\Annexations\Preserve Our PlateauUssue Paper Att 2.doc ..• ATTACHMENT 2 suppression services to the area under contract with Fire District 25, there should be no noticeable change in service for residents. Policy LU-42. Support annexations of lower density areas where it would protect natural resources or provide urban separator areas. The proposed annexation includes everything east of 156th Avenue SE to the Urban Growth Area boundary. Renton's proposed zoning is more consistent with existing levels of development and would do more to protect existing treed areas than County zoning. The City is also looking at the possibility of lower density R-1 zoning in the more environmentally sensitive areas east of 176th Avenue SE. COUNTYWIDE PLANNING POLICIES: Policy LU-32. A city may annex territory only within its designated potential annexation area. All cities shall phase annexations to coincide with the ability for the city to coordinate the provision of a full range of urban services to areas to be annexed. H:\EDNSP\PAA\Annexations\Preserve Our Plateau\Issue Paper Att 2.doc err, ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Administration is recommending the establishment of a special blue ribbon Advisory Committee, appointed by the Mayor and comprised of representatives from the community and potentially service providers including the Issaquah School District, Waster District 90, and Fire District 25. Representation from these agencies will either be included on the Advisory Committee or provided via a separate technical group. It is anticipated that the Advisory Committee work with staff to form recommendations for land use, transportation, and other issues within the annexation boundaries. The Committee is envisioned as working during the pre-election period and during transition, if the election is successful. The City has already worked with residents of the East Renton Plateau portion of our PAA over the last few years in amending our Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map designation and Residential Low Density land use policies. The City also worked with King County and the Unincorporated Area Council last fall to prepare for several community meetings held in the area. H:IEDNSP\PAA\Annexations\Preserve Our Plateau\lssue Paper Advisory Committee.doc ✓ EFFECTUATION TIMING When would the City actually effectuate the annexation assuming voters approve it? Transition of services from King County to Renton will require hiring of staff to assume the responsibilities for police,parks, land use permitting, and street maintenance. In addition, a special census for the area is required. The County has made a first offer of transition funding in the form of$1.15 million in REET together with$600,000 CX funds, half of which would be paid upon certification of the election, and half upon the effective date of the annexation. The County has a stated desire to see this area transition as soon as possible. A later effective date might change the negotiation over this transition funding. The City is currently evaluating an effective date of August 2007, however, this issue will be brought back to the City Council for a decision when more information is available about the transition process. H:\EDNSP\PAA\Annexations\Preserve Our Plateau\Issue Paper Effectuation Timing Issue.doc EXILING AND FUTURE DEVELOIENT The entire area is designated Low Density Residential in the City's Comprehensive Plan. This designation is implemented with R-4, R-1 and Resource Conservation zoning. The area is largely Residential 4-12 dwelling units per acre in the King County Comprehensive Plan with R-4 zoning. There are small areas with County R-6 and Neighborhood Business zoning. This area is characterized by detached single family dwelling on larger lots with an average existing density of 3.2 dwelling units per acre. The area currently has an estimated 1,630 dwellings with a combined assessed value of over$505 million. There also are an estimated 216 acres, 109 acres of which are vacant, and 107 acres of which are redevelopable. It is estimated that another 1,060 dwelling units could be built over the next ten years,resulting in a total of 2,690 dwelling units in the annexation area with an estimated population of 7,004 people.

The City would assume direct responsibility for service upon annexation. Fire District No. 25 currently provides service to over 95%of the proposed annexation area. State law provides that when an annexed area encompasses 60%or more of a district's assessed value, it may require the annexing city to assume responsibility for serving the remaining portion of the district at a reasonable fee. The proposed annexation would only comprise 51% of the district's current assessed value. As a result, the 60%rule is not triggered. Because the City already has a contractual agreement to provide fire service to the district through December 2007, the only change will be that the absolute dollar amount of taxes collected by District 25 and paid to the City will be reduced, but the City will be recovering these lost dollars as a result of the annexed area being added to its tax base. Basically, Renton's general property tax will replace the lost intergovernmental revenue it was receiving from Fire District 25.

This larger analysis was previously distributed to Council. The Berk and Associates analysis indicated that annexation of the entire area would result in a$16,400 annual deficit to the City with an estimated 31 additional full- time employees (FTE)needed to maintain the City's current level of service throughout the entire PAA. A revised estimate of the costs to serve and the revenues generated from the proposed Preserve Our Plateau annexation area shows that there would be an annual deficit of $263,000 to serve the area, excluding Maplewood Heights and White Fence Ranch. Serving the area would require an additional 22 FTE's including one in AJLS, two in EDNSP, one in FIS, five in Police, six in Community Services, and eight in P/B/PW. The Berk&Associates analysis provides an assumption of cost for existing households and population and does not take future growth into consideration. With capacity for an additional 1,000 units of housing in the annexation area, it is assumed that this annual deficit will quickly be erased.

Certain services,such as Fire Investigation, Fire Inspection, Plans Review and Public Information are currently provided by King County and will become responsibility of City of Renton if the area were annexed.However,considering very few commercial properties in East Highlands,provision of these services would have a minimal impact on Renton's Fire expenditures and maybe absorbed within the current budget and level of staffing. 3 This amount is 20%of estimated total amount collected for business license fees,as 80%is dedicated to road maintenance(capital projects). 4 The City of Renton will lose the contract payment from Fire District 25, calculated as$1.25 per thousand of assessed valuation.

H:\EDNSP\PAA\Annexations\Preserve Our Plateaullssue Paper Sewer Moratorium.doc STREET NAMING The City now names north/south streets in annexing areas on the East Renton Plateau, alphabetically after Washington cities. This naming convention cannot be continued, due to a shortage of names. This annexation includes more streets than there are remaining letters of the alphabet. Therefore, a decision needs to be made to create a new naming convention or to adopt the existing County street names. Whereas Renton's methodology makes it clear to residents where they live and probably creates more local identity than the County system, there is a cost to the municipality and residents alike in changing street names and one's home or business address.

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Annexation: Lindberg, 138th accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Ave SE&SE 132nd St public hearing to consider the proposed annexation and R-8 zoning of 10.6 acres located east of 138th Ave. SE(Duvall Ave. NE)and north of SE 132nd St. (NE 2nd St.); Lindberg. Don Erickson, Senior Planner, stated that the annexation site contains nine single-family dwellings, and is relatively flat with a two percent slope from west to east. Potential wetlands affect two northern parcels. He noted that the site is served by Fire District#25 and the Renton School District, and is within the Renton water,Water District#90, and Renton sewer service areas. Mr. Erickson reported that current King County zoning is R-4(four dwelling units per gross acre), and the City's Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Single Family,for which R-8 (eight dwelling units per net acre) zoning is proposed. The fiscal impact analysis estimates a deficit of$575 at current development, and a surplus of$8,580 at full development, assuming a potential of 63 new single-family homes and a new assessed home value of $350,000. He noted the estimated one-time parks development cost of$35,383. Mr. Erickson concluded that the annexation proposal serves the best interests and general welfare of the City, and is consistent with City policies. Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.

CARRIED. Utility: Sewer Moratorium in This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in East Renton Plateau PAA accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the public hearing to consider extending the moratorium on sewer availabilities for December 5,2005 8werie Renton City Council Minutes ,,,.r Page 431 new subdivisions within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area (PAA)for an additional six months. The current moratorium expires on December 6th. Rebecca Lind,Planner Manager, stated that the moratorium was enacted in response to a citizens group, Citizens'Alliance for a Responsible Evendell (CARE). The purpose of the moratorium was to allow consideration of a proposed annexation petition for the East Renton Plateau prior to vesting developable properties under King County development standards. She reported that CARE submitted an annexation petition on November 15th that designates an annexation boundary,and calls for an election. The petition has been submitted to King County for certification. Ms. Lind explained that the boundary designated by the annexation petition does not include the entire PAA. However, staff recommends that the moratorium continue to cover the entire East Renton Plateau PAA because some property owners outside the petition boundary may want to be added, and because the Boundary Review Board has the authority to modify the annexation boundary by five percent of its proposed acreage, and there is no indication of which areas may be either included or excluded. Continuing,Ms. Lind reviewed the differences between the Renton and King County development standards for the area, such as Renton only allowing single-family development. She reported that within 60 days of the certification of the annexation petition by King County,Council must either approve or reject the petition. If approved, an election date request will be made to King County. Ms. Lind pointed out that the earliest possible election date is in April or May. In conclusion, Ms.Lind stated that extending the moratorium for six more months allows for the following: Council to consider the annexation petition without extending the sewer availabilities, a date to be set for the election, and the registered voters in the area to determine the election outcome before resuming sewer availabilities. Public comment was invited. Tom Carpenter, 15006 SE 139th Pl., Renton, 98059, stated that he is an elected member of the Four Creeks Unincorporated Area Council that represents three voting districts inside the East Renton Plateau PAA. He expressed his support for extending the moratorium; however, he pointed out that annexation is not going to handle the area's decreasing quality of life issues in a timely manner. Mr. Carpenter stressed that an interlocal agreement between Renton and King County is needed that addresses the movement of funds to support planning efforts for the area, and establishes design standards. He indicated that King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn is prepared to support such an agreement. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler reported that Renton is already in discussion with King County regarding this issue. Gwendolyn High, President of CARE, 13405 158th Ave. SE,Renton,98059, urged Council to extend the sewer moratorium. She explained that CARE sees the moratorium as one of many critical steps being undertaken in the community through the larger annexation discussion and process. Ms. High indicated that the moratorium builds on the positive momentum already December 5,2005 Renton City Council Minutes "+n►' Page 432 growing in the community, and it provides opportunity for the preservation of the community's character and quality of life. Garrett Huffman, South King County Manager of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, 335 116th Ave. SE, Bellevue, 98004, stated that extending the moratorium has consequences in that he is aware of one particular developer who wants to develop a property, and does not know whether Renton or King County development standards will apply. Mr. Huffman asked the City to expedite the process. Fred Herber,Bennett Development, 12011 NE 1st St., Suite 201, Bellevue, 98005, indicated that he is the developer referred to by the previous speaker, and stated his preference for developing to Renton's standards. Mr. Herber expressed concern regarding the amount of time needed for the annexation process, which delays his project. In response to Councilman Clawson's inquiries,Mr. Herber stated that sewer hook-up should be available for his project by next summer, and he confirmed that the project delay is also a result of not knowing on which development standards to base the design. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 437 for resolution.) ADMINISTRATIVE Economic Development Administrator Alex Pietsch reviewed a written REPORT administrative report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2005 and beyond. Items noted included: * Join in the holiday spirit and share in the Angel Tree Program, which helps children and families who are less fortunate. Trees with tags representing requests from families screened by the Renton Salvation Army are available this year at City locations, including the Community Center, City Hall, and Carco Theatre. * The annual Candy Cane Canine Fun Run and Walk will be held on December l lth at the Community Center. AUDIENCE COMMENT Barbara Hicks, 1835 NE 20th St., Renton, 98056, spoke on the topic of the Citizen Comment: Hicks - proposed stream reclassification, located in the vicinity of Jones Ave. NE and Stream Reclassification,Jones NE 20th St., that was referred to Planning and Development Committee on Ave NE&NE 20th St 11/28/2005. She stated that reclassifying the stream to Class 5, which is an artificial stream where no natural channel existed before, is inconsistent with her personal knowledge of that stream. Ms. Hicks noted the lack of notification regarding this matter and another matter related to the NE 20th St. area. She requested that action not be taken on the stream reclassification without further study. Citizen Comment: Cook- F. Jay Cook, 14012 SE 133rd St., Renton, 98059, stated that he lives in the Mosier II Annexation, 140th Puget Colony Homes area, for which Renton's R-8 zoning is proposed as part of Ave SE&SE 136th St the Mosier II Annexation. He indicated that he submitted an application to change the zoning from R-8 to R-4, and requested a waiver of the associated fee. However,Mr. Cook pointed out that the subject ordinance establishing R- 8 zoning is scheduled for second reading this evening. vrr .,rr �Y Uti„ O' ♦ ♦ ��N�O� EXTENSION OF EAST RENTON PLATEAU SEWER MORATORIUM PUBLIC HEARING December 5, 2005 In June of this year, in response to a citizen group, Citizens Allied for a Responsible Evendall (CARE), Council passed Resolution 3758 establishing a six-month moratorium on sewer availabilities for new subdivisions within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area. The purpose of the moratorium was to allow consideration of a proposed annexation petition for the East Renton Plateau prior to vesting developable properties under County development standards. The present moratorium expires December 6th, 2005. On November 15, 2005, CARE submitted an annexation petition to the City designating an annexation boundary, and calling for an election. The petition was submitted by Renton to King County Elections for certification, and, if certified, the Renton City Council will consider a resolution within the next 60 days supporting the proposed annexation and setting an election date. Extension of the moratorium will continue the present City position of allowing the election outcome to determine whether City or County standards will guide development within this community. It is recommended that the moratorium be extended with the understanding that: 1) If the election fails, then the moratorium automatically expires or is repealed and King County standards will be used to vest subdivisions with out-of-city sewer requests. 2) If the election passes, then the moratorium will be extended through the time Renton either formally annexes the area or successfully negotiates an interlocal agreement with King County to allow review of subdivisions using Renton development standards. 3) The area of the moratorium shall continue to include that portion of the sewer service area that is within the entire East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area, rather than the smaller area included within the current proposed annexation. The Administration recommends that the moratorium continue to cover the entire East Renton Potential Annexation area, generally defined as that portion of the service area east of the current city limits bounded by the Plat of White Fence Ranch and the urban growth boundary to the north, Plat of Maplewood Heights and the City limits to the west and the urban growth boundary to the south and east. This original boundary should continue to be used because the Boundary Review Board has the authority to modify the annexation boundary by 5% of its proposed acreage, and there is as yet no indication of which areas might be either included or excluded.

J , ��y O ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, C. E; NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING DEPARTMENT �� MEMORANDUM DATE: November 30, 2005 TO: Terri Briere, Council President Members of the Renton City Council CC: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Mayor FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator k i STAFF CONTACT: Rebecca Lind,Planning Manager(ext. 6588) SUBJECT: Extension of Sewer Moratorium for Sewer Service to New Subdivisions Outside City Limits on the East Renton Plateau ISSUE: Should the City extend the existing moratorium on sewer availabilities for new subdivisions on the East Renton Plateau for an additional six months? RECOMMENDATION: Extend the current moratorium on sewer availability for new subdivision requests on the plateau to allow the Citizens Allied for a Responsible Evendall (CARE) group to actively pursue this annexation. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: In June of this year, in response to a citizen group, CARE, Council passed Resolution 3758 establishing a six-month moratorium on sewer availabilities for new subdivisions within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area. The purpose of the moratorium was to allow consideration of a proposed annexation petition for the East Renton Plateau prior to vesting developable properties under County development standards. The present moratorium expires December 6, 2005. The original impetus for the moratorium was based on CARE's preference that development meet all of Renton's development standards including lot setbacks, lot width, lot depths, and landscape standards. They believe that the adopted Renton standards best meet their view of preserving the distinct character of their community. CARE is concerned that if the larger parcels of land vest under the lesser standards, then H:\EDNSP\PAA\Annexations\East Renton Plateau PAA\Extension of Sewer Moratorium Issue Paper.doc Terri Briere, Council Presides ".,' Page 2 of 3 November 30,2005 Renton will not be able to effectively implement the new land use policy adopted by Council in 2004, upon annexation. The CARE leadership also believes that allowing development to occur under King County standards will cause a perception that Renton is not following through on the R-4 zoning. They feel this perception could result in an anti-Renton backlash. On November 15, 2005, CARE submitted an annexation petition to the City designating an annexation boundary and calling for an election. The petition was submitted by Renton to King County Elections for certification, and, if certified, the Renton City Council will consider a resolution within the next 60 days supporting the proposed annexation and setting an election date. Extension of the moratorium will continue the present City position of allowing the election outcome to determine whether the City or County standards will guide development within this community. It is recommended that the moratorium be extended with the understanding that: 1) If the election fails, then the moratorium automatically expires or is repealed and King County standards will be used to vest subdivisions with out-of-city sewer requests. 2) If the election passes, then the moratorium will be extended through the time Renton either formally annexes the area or successfully negotiates an interlocal agreement with King County to allow review of subdivision using Renton development standards. However, an additional public hearing and resolution would be required to extend it beyond six months. 3) The area of the moratorium shall continue to cover the entire East Renton Potential Annexation Area, generally defined as that portion of the service area east of the current city limits bounded by the Plat of White Fence Ranch and the urban growth boundary to the north,Plat of Maplewood Heights and the city limits to the west, and the urban growth boundary to the south and east. The original boundary should continue to be used because the Boundary Review Board has the authority to modify the annexation boundary by 5% of its proposed acreage, and there is as yet no indication of which areas might be either included or excluded. In addition, some property owners outside the proposed annexation boundary indicated an interest in being included. An additional petition for lands excluded from the present petition boundary could be received during this six-month moratorium period. CONCLUSION: One of the primary goals for establishing the current code for sewer service outside the city limits was to provide for a long-term vehicle for approaching annexation on the plateau. With the current work being performed by CARE, Staff feels this goal will be H:\EDNSP\PAA\Annexations\East Renton Plateau PAA\Extension of Sewer Moratorium Issue Paper.doc Tern Briere, Council Presid~ Page 3 of 3 November 30,2005 better achieved by allowing CARE to proceed with its annexation plans and providing an additional six-month window of no new sewer availabilities for new subdivisions. By giving this group all the tools possible to work with the property owners in this area, the potential for success is greatly enhanced. cc: Gregg Zimmerman,PBPW Administrator Lys Hornsby,Utility Systems Director Dave Christensen,Utility Engineering Supervisor H:\EDNSP\PAA\Annexations\East Renton Plateau PAA\Extension of Sewer Moratorium Issue Paper.doc Pub hlearihy 6mnrenf Comments to the Renton City Council December 5, 2005 hearing on the sewer certificate moratorium My name is Tom Carpenter. I live at 15006 SE 139th Place in Renton. I'm also an elected member of the Four Creeks Unincorporated Area Council representing 3 of the voting districts inside the East Plateau Potential Annexation Area. I rise tonight in favor of any actions that postpone development on the East Renton Plateau until such time as design templates and rules sensitive to the character of the neighborhood are put in place and enforced. As a result,I am in favor of extending the sewer certificate moratorium for the plateau. I made similar comments at the original moratorium meeting June 20, 2005. At that time I mentioned that, although I supported the moratorium, I was concerned that, without the proper focus, we ran the risk of tragically being in a worse quality of life condition at the end of the moratorium period. That prediction,unfortunately,has come true. Recently, King County and the Four Creeks UAC surveyed residents of the plateau asking specifically about the residents feelings about the build out so far. I quote from the published results: "In nearly-unanimous fashion,community members dislike the recent development in the Fast Renton Plateau. Some blame King County,some blame the City of Renton,and some blame the developers,but nearly all respondents cite recent developments as unattractive. They use adjectives like"ugly," "boxy,""over-dense,"and"poorly-planned"to describe the development,which they see as the antithesis of the lifestyle they sought when buying homes on the Fast Renton Plateau." Clone homes(similar designs just different shades of beige)along 128th, 10 different frontage fence designs/materials/colors in the 4 tenths of a mile west of 156th Ave SE, and only 1 people place(a sitting area outside a Starbucks)along the entire 5.4 mile length of SE 128th between Interstate 405 and Lake Kathleen are examples of the concerns being expressed. Although,through the efforts of Gwen High and her team, meaningful progress has been made in the area of annexation for a major portion of the plateau, annexation is NOT going to deal with the quality of life issues in a timely manner. Long before the annexation vote, Renton and King County need to create an inter-local agreement that addresses at least 1)the movement of funds to support planning efforts for the plateau, and 2)the establishment of critical design standards appended to the permitting process used by King County DDES (assuming that permitting cannot be transferred to Renton.) These design standards should include a set of templates and rules for development on the plateau that address urban livability issues sensitive to the specific character and vision for the plateau. Initially,the inter-local should focus on the most visible parts of the build out which implies focus on the major traffic,business, and common use areas. This means NE 4th/SE 128th, 156th SE all the way down to Maple Valley Highway, and the major connectors to Sunset Highway and May Valley Road. To this end, I briefed Reagan Dunn, King County Council Member-elect for this district, on this subject a couple weeks ago. Reagan stands prepared to support a request from Renton for just such an inter-local agreement. The Four Creeks UAC, along with the 5 other UACs in King County, concerned that lack of focus on livable urban spaces, like the plateau,will eventually jeopardize Growth Management's intent to keep development out of the rural areas are preparing an outline for the inter-local agreements between the potential annexation cities and the county. I would be pleased to offer this work to Renton. I call upon the Mayor and Councilmember Clawson,chair of the Planning and Development Committee to take advantage of Reagan's offer and put in place the developmental guidelines necessary to reverse the trend currently being experienced by the residents on the plateau. And I call upon the Council to extend the moratorium as a means to assure those guidelines are in place before any new permits are allowed.

Box 2936 Renton, WA 98056 highlands_neighbors@hotmail.com Renton City Council Meeting December 5, 2005 RE: Extension of the current sewer moratorium for new subdivisions within the East Renton Plateau PAA Dear Council Members, Thank you for renewed attention to this issue of such concern in our community. We offer thanks as well for the original implementation of this moratorium in June of this year. This moratorium has indeed achieved much in line with the expectations that we sited in our original request: • It pushed the "Pause" button on the outside development pressures active in our community so that we, the residents, had an opportunity to engage in a thoughtful and thorough evaluation of our options in regard to the annexation question, and • Out of this spirited discourse, a consensus has begun to rise as recorded by the submission of our 10% Petition to Commence Annexation Proceedings which we tendered November 15, and • It demonstrated a real, practical and very visible expression of Renton's good faith on one of the issues of highest concern in this community. We urge you to extend this sewer moratorium. We see it as one of many critical steps being undertaken by our community through the larger annexation discussion and process. Progress has been made, but as one of you so shrewdly observed in the original debate, the resolution of the annexation question will, and should, take time. We are doing all we can, and tonight we look to you to continue to demonstrate forethought and forthrightness by voting to extend this moratorium. • It build on the positive momentum already growing in the community, and • It holds the opportunity window open so that together we can preserve the character of our community and our quality of life. As the Preserve Our Plateau 10% Petition itself says, there are still other vital steps to be checked on the list - particularly the refinement of zoning and building regulations - and we look forward to continued cooperation and progress toward the best future for all of us - for the city, our current neighbors and for the new neighborhoods to come. Please vote to extend the temporary sewer moratorium. Thank You, \',�C • Gwendolyn H. h - ✓ f t. iOt CAREAC chair/treasurer '/ CARE president j . /4/ Zitt L.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Alex Pietsch,Economic Development Administrator,explained that in 1998 the EDNSP: Business Leaders City partnered with the Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce, Valley Medical Views of Renton Survey Center,Renton Technical College, and the Renton School District to combine resources and collectively market the Renton community. The partnership resulted in the development of the "Ahead of the Curve" brand, and Renton was one of the first cities in the nation to brand its community in this manner. Mr. Pietsch reported that the Renton Community Marketing Campaign Committee hired Elway Research,Inc.to conduct a survey to assess whether the "Ahead of the Curve" branding played a role in the economic expansion of the City. Mr. Pietsch introduced Stuart Elway who reported on the findings of the Business Leaders'Views of Renton survey. He stated that a telephone survey was conducted of business operators of 157 businesses located between Mukilteo and Federal Way. Mr. Elway reviewed the survey questions and results, which related to business location,business relocation,community requirements and amenities,familiarity with Renton,Renton's strong points and drawbacks, and the "Ahead of the Curve" slogan. Mr. Elway summarized that the survey showed recognition of Renton as a changing and growing city,and that the marketing campaign is having the intended effect. Mr. Pietsch stated that the marketing committee will review the survey results, and the data will be used to formulate future marketing campaign strategies. He noted that some of the businesses expressed interest in being contacted in the future to discuss the potential of locating to Renton. Councilman Corman said he was impressed with the number of people who have heard of Renton's slogan. Mayor Keolker-Wheeler expressed her pleasure with the number of people who have visited Renton within the last year. PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Utility: Sewer Moratorium in accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the East Renton Plateau PAA public hearing to consider the six-month moratorium on sewer availabilities for new subdivisions within the East Renton Plateau potential annexation area. June 20,2005 *or Renton City Council Minutes rw Page 222 f Dave Christensen, Utility Engineering Supervisor, reviewed ordinances relating to the provision of sewer service outside the City limits. He pointed out that Ordinance 5123, adopted in January 2005, allows sewer availabilities for new subdivisions conditioned upon development meeting Renton's basic zoning and land use criteria. Mr. Christensen noted the receipt of a letter in May from the Citizens'Alliance for a Responsible Evendell(CARE), in which concern was expressed regarding Renton's issuance of sewer availabilities that cover only the core development standards. He noted CARE's belief that the City's development requirements would have a negative effect on the group's effort to gather support for an annexation. Continuing,Mr. Christensen stated that the resolution establishing the moratorium was adopted on June 6th. He reported that the City has received three complete applications for sewer availability outside the City limits since the adoption of Ordinance 5123 in January. Two of the subdivision projects have received sewer availability certificates, and the third project,which was submitted on June 2nd, is currently under review. . Public comment was invited. Correspondence was read from Theresa M. Brehmer,Land Acquisition Manager for Bennett Development,Inc., 12011 NE 1st St., Suite 201,Bellevue, 98005, stating that while she supports CARE's annexation effort, she is concerned about how the moratorium will affect Bennett Development's subdivision development located within the East Renton Plateau area. Noting that a majority of the annexation process is achievable within the six-month moratorium period,Ms. Brehmer asked that the City not extend the moratorium unless a formal submittal has been given to the Boundary Review Board by the beginning of October 2005. Correspondence was read from Tom Carpenter, 15006 SE 139th Pl.,Renton, 98059,expressing support for the moratorium. Noting that the moratorium is linked to an annexation effort,he stressed that the annexation decision, regardless of the outcome, will have a profound impact on the qualify of life in the East Renton Plateau area. Mr. Carpenter urged the City to add its voice with King County and the State to address the issue of quality of life in urban growth areas such as this. Theresa M. Brehmer,Land Acquisition Manager for Bennett Development, Inc., 12011 NE 1st St., Suite 201,Bellevue, 98005, stated that Bennett Development is in the process of developing property within the subject area, and she expressed her hope that CARE will expedite its annexation effort and that the moratorium will not be unduly extended. Garrett Huffman, 335 116th Ave. SE,Bellevue, 98004, speaking on behalf of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties,questioned how the City can implement a sewer moratorium if the City is not experiencing a sewer capacity issue. Noting that the Master Builders Association has appealed other jurisdiction's decisions relating to actions in their annexation areas to Superior Courts,Mr. Huffman stated that the association wants to further discuss the moratorium with the City Attorney. June 20,2005 Renton City Council Minutes ' Page 223 Discussion ensued regarding a future discussion of the matter by the City's and the association's legal counsel,and the timing of the annexation effort, the moratorium,and a potential court challenge. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY CORMAN,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Annexation: Wedgewood This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Lane, 144th Ave SE& 148th accordance with local and State laws,Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the Ave SE public hearing to consider the proposed annexation and R-4 zoning of property that abuts Renton on its west; and is bounded on the north by SE 114th St.,if extended; on the south by approximately SE 121st St., if extended; and on the east, south of SE 117th St. by Honey Creek, and north of SE 117th St. by 148th Ave. SE(Wedgewood Lane). Don Erickson, Senior Planner,reported that this is the second of two public hearings on the matter,and the Boundary Review Board approved the proposed annexation on 5/17/2005. He noted that the site consists of approximately 35.68 acres, and contains 25 single-family dwellings. He described the topography of the site, which slopes downward from the northwest and northeast corners towards Honey Creek at a ten to fifteen percent slope. Reviewing the public services,Mr. Erickson indicated that Fire District#10, Water District#90,Renton sewer,and the Issaquah School District serve the site. Mr. Erickson reported that current King County zoning for the site is R-4(four dwelling units per gross acre), which is comparable to Renton's R-8 zoning. The Renton Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Residential Low Density, for which R-4(four dwelling units per net acre)zoning is recommended. He noted that R-4 zoning is consistent with the environmental sensitivity of the area. Continuing,Mr. Erickson reviewed the fiscal impact analysis, assuming a new home value of$450,000 and a potential of 114 single-family homes at full development. The City will realize a deficit of$434 at current development, and a surplus of$30,902 at full development. The estimated one-time parks acquisition and development cost is$74,030. Mr. Erickson concluded that the proposed annexation serves the best interests and general welfare of the City, and pointed out that new development will result in streets and stormwater detention facilities built to City standards. Public comment was invited. Correspondence was read from Mark Engbaum and Renee Korsmo, 14522 SE 116th St.,Renton,98059,expressing support for the annexation and R-4 zoning. They noted that R-4 zoning will help preserve the rural feel of the area. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY CLAWSON, SECONDED BY NELSON,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. SigoV 4_5TY ra City of Renton PUBLIC INFORMATION HANDOUT June 20, 2005 SEWER MORATORIUM FOR SEWER SERVICE TO NEW SUBDIVISIONS OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS ON THE EAST RENTON PLATEAU For additional information, please contact: Dave Christensen; City of Renton Utility Services 425.430.7212 DESCRIPTION: The City Council adopted Resolution Number 3758 on June 6, 2005, establishing a moratorium on sewer availabilities for new subdivisions on the East Renton Plateau area for an initial period of six (6) months. A map is included on the back showing the moratorium area. SUMMARY: On January 3, 2005, Council passed Ordinance 5123. This ordinance revised City code for the provision of sewer service outside City limits. This Ordinance was adopted with the understanding that while development in the County would not meet all of the City's development standards, the City could condition sewer availability to require that the most critical of the development standards be met. These standards include meeting the City of Renton's (1) adopted general land use category, (2) allowed density within the adopted land use category, and (3) allowed structure type and scale within the adopted land use category. Adoption of Ordinance 5123, also made sewer availability contingent upon the property owner executing a Covenant To Annex for the developed property. In addition to providing service within Renton's sewer service area, one of the primary reasons for the City to offer sewer availability is to promote long-term annexation through the use of the Covenants To Annex. Since the adoption of Ordinance 5123, the Citizens' Alliance for a Responsible Evendell (CARE) group has been very active in developing a potential large-scale annexation on the plateau. In its letter to Council, CARE cites issues it shares with a number of property owners within the potential annexation area who have expressed concern with the City issuing sewer availabilities that cover only the core development issues as discussed above. It would be CARE's preference that development within the moratorium area meet all of Renton's development standards including lot set-backs, lot widths, lot depths, and our newly adopted landscape standards. CARE believes that the City of Renton's adopted standards is the best approach to preserving the distinct character of life within its community. With the adoption of Resolution Number 3758, a moratorium on new sewer availabilities for new subdivisions is in place for a period of six (6) months. Council may extend the moratorium if a need still exists at the end of six months. This moratorium only affects the area shown on the attached map and only impacts proposed new subdivisions for this area. Existing lots may still receive sewer availability for a single home upon that lot. lor __we NEI , , ,_ ___ __ A_ _ 1 i,...., pg,,T ---„ , a re7(111-P--- I' I � I_ ,ii. � - _ , ..... .. a� Im'imik, . • imi ■ .4 row 1 .d i 01 12 ■ 11-- -,_ii _ I it..

This ordinance was passed to significantly limit sewer availabilities due to two primary concerns. First was State Supreme Court decision that invalidated Petition Method Annexation and second, density concerns on the East Renton Plateau. August 2002—Ordinance 4981. Amendment to Ordinance 4969 to allow limited availabilities for existing platted lots. January 3, 2005—Ordinance 5123. Revised code for sewer outside the City to allow availabilities outside City with certain City standards for Land use and zoning. State Supreme Court reversed its earlier decision and City established zoning standards for the East Renton Plateau. May 9, 2005 -Letter request from Citizens' Alliance for a Responsible Evendell requesting a moratorium referred to Committee of the Whole. Although City had adopted certain standards that apply to new availabilities, neighborhood group concerned that not all standards are applied, and that this was hurting their efforts to form an annexation area on the Plateau.

Grady Way the Year 2003 Renton, WA 98055 Re: Public Comment Sewer Moratorium within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area Dear Madam President and City Council Members: MIL We support the City of Renton and the Citizens' Alliance for a Responsible Evandale Oyer 00 A (CARE) in the annexation of the East Renton Plateau area. We are concerned, however, Awards about some of the language written in the Sewer Moratorium Referendum and how it will affect our subdivision development which is located within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area. We have a nine acre parcel of land that is affected by this sewer moratorium. We are in partnership with American Classic Homes who also has another nine acre parcel adjacent to our development site. These two parcels will be combined to create one subdivision. We removed feasibility on our development site and paid a substantial down payment for Award 2004 this property after the City of Renton began issuing sewer certificates in January of this year. And now the City is once again not allowing sewer certificates. We are concerned about the City of Renton's language in the Sewer Moratorium HMa Referendum allowing CARE six months to present a formal submittal for an election annexation. We feel the group should be able to get the 10 percent signatures required for formal submittal within one month. There has been an adequate amount of oA communication to the residents within the annexation area, including at least three BUILTGREEN neighborhood meetings and written material mailed to the area residents. We feel that a Member majority of the annexation process could be achieved within the six month moratorium period.

Thank you Tom Carpenter 15006 SE 139th Place Renton, WA 98059 425-271-2035 TDCarpcomcast.net -w Nur" To: Renton City Council June 20, 2005 From: Tom Carpenter 15006 SE 139th P1 Renton, WA 98059 As we approach the 15-year anniversary of Washington State's Growth Management Act (GMA) and having just passed the 10-year anniversary of King County's alignment to GMA, the plateau east of Renton, like so many other areas, is at a crossroads. A host of emerging trends and issues challenge our core values and way of life. Without question, we face significant change in the future. How we shape such change is a matter of our own choosing. It's not clear if there is an agreed-upon vision for the plateau to help guide such choices, satisfactory participation by stakeholders and decision makers to manage such choices, or meaningful outcome measures to monitor such choices. One such choice is the sewer moratorium for the Renton East Plateau Potential Annexation Area. Purpose This letter is written input to the Renton City Council's hearing on the sewer certificate moratorium scheduled for Monday June 20, 2005. Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend the hearing in person, however, I welcome questions and feedback. Background We became interested in quality of life in the neighborhood around the time of the construction of the QFC strip mall off Duval Ave. and SE 128th St. That construction heralded a series of noticeable changes extending mainly out the SE 128th St. corridor although it includes residential and commercial development on both sides of Duval Ave. Since that time we've seen change on the Renton East Plateau at a significantly higher pace than we had witnessed in all the other time we had lived in the area. I spoke briefly during the Audience Comment period at the end of the Renton City Council meeting held on June 6, 2005. At the time I stressed that a fundamental concern of the East Renton Plateau area is not being addressed. If the area is annexed to Renton, the City will face the issue of how quality of life is maintained, if not improved, as the area is developed out according to the Urban Growth Area land use designation that occurs in the Growth Management Act. I also stressed that it is important to address this issue as a joint effort between the affected residents, the developers and realtors, King County, and Renton. I represent myself only and am not affiliated with any organized effort either for or against the moratorium although I support any informed efforts that are attempting to bring fact- based understanding to the citizens of the neighborhood. Comments on the sewer moratorium Although I support the moratorium, I'm concerned that, without the proper focus, we run the risk of tragically being in a worse quality of life condition at the end of the moratorium period. 1 .NItl r The moratorium is linked to the question of annexation, and the annexation decision, regardless of the outcome, will have a profound impact on the quality of life in the neighborhood. A vote to annex into Renton will place a new burden on the City of Renton to address the quality of life issue in the area while a vote to stay in Unincorporated King County will force the issue of service support by King County and will continue to leave the East Renton Plateau with representation only at the County level (currently undergoing a change because of the "re-districting" of the King County Council and the recent decision on the part of KC Council representative David Irons to run for a different County position.) For the efforts that are focused on quality of life in the area to be effective responsible participation in the issue is required by all stakeholders including county and state governments, developers, and citizens. If annexation were to occur, Renton would also become a more significant stakeholder. My concern is that the moratorium may not be sufficient action necessary to stop the current build out of the area in any meaningful way. Also, the focus that the moratorium will create on the question of annexation can be distracting to the larger issue of quality of life, an issue that has its roots in the moratorium itself. I call on the Renton City Council to add its voice to King County and the State regarding the issue of quality of life in the neighborhood they might inherit through annexation or will end up being neighbored to if the area remains in Unincorporated King County. I also call on the Council, along with King County, the State of Washington, and the local citizens to take the time created by the moratorium to produce a meaningful, agreed upon plan to address what I consider to be a critical juncture in the question of the impact on quality of life in Urban Growth Areas, like the East Renton Plateau. I also call on the Renton City Council to look into other areas that can effectively put a temporary moratorium on the build out of the East Plateau PAA. Attachment Attached is a working document used to capture descriptions of the situation in the area, a desired target state, and the beginnings of a proposal to address the overall question of quality of life in the neighborhood. This information should be considered"work in process" and is a snapshot of the thinking at this date. Next steps Along with providing input to responsible citizens groups in the neighborhood, the King County Four Creeks Unincorporated Area Council has been made aware of this issue and will be receiving this input along and a briefing in mid-July, 2005. The objective at this stage is to develop high quality information with the participation of stakeholders and decision makers. I appreciate any feedback on information quality or the participants. Tom Carpenter 2 Quality of Life As we approach the 15-year anniversary of Washington State's Growth Management Act (GMA) and having just passed the 10-year anniversary of King County's alignment to GMA, the plateau east of Renton, like so many other areas, is at a crossroads. A host of emerging trends and issues challenge our core values and way of life. Without question, we face significant change in the future. How we shape such change is a matter of our own choosing. It's not clear if there is an agreed- upon vision for the plateau to help guide such choices, satisfactory participation by stakeholders and decision makers to manage such choices, or meaningful outcome measures to monitor such choices. Even what can appear to be an innocuous decision, like a sewer certificate moratorium, can be an example of one such choice. 1 Summary • We are long time residents of the plateau east of Renton, sometimes called the "Renton Highlands". We first moved here in the mid-1970s and bought our current home in 1981. • We're seeing the effects of urban growth in our neighborhood. • We moved into this area choosing a quality of life based on our choice of housing and neighborhood at the time. • There are underlying forces that are causing growth to be moving into Urban Growth Areas including Renton's East Plateau. • The measure of any type of growth management is accountability to the outcome quality of life. • Using accepted analysis and influence techniques, develop an integrated plan that assures our voice and that of the neighborhood's residents, is being heard. • Growth Management is an experiment based on theories. The theories that are the basis for Growth Management are commonly called New Urbanism and Smart Growth. • Consultants bring the theories to the Decision Makers. There accountability generally ends when the contract terminates. A significant improvement would be to make them more Accountable for the Outcome. 2 Purpose The short term purpose includes stopping all development efforts until such time as an agreed upon, comprehensive plan for the area, including an emphasis on quality of life, can be developed. See Sewer Moratorium letter 3 Background My wife, Sharon, and I have been residents of the Renton East Plateau since the late 1970's, buying our current home in 1981. Our home, which is also the location of our ©2005 Carpenter&Associates 1 Q0L0506 Rev:New 06/20/05 Quality of Life businesses, lies in an area which, at the time of purchase, was part of the new construction in one of the very few residential developments outside the Renton City limits on the plateau. We became interested in quality of life in the neighborhood around the time of the construction of the QFC strip mall off Duval Ave. and SE 128th St. That construction heralded a series of noticeable changes extending mainly out the SE 128th St. corridor although it includes residential and commercial development on both sides of Duval Ave. Since that time we've seen change on the Renton East Plateau at a significantly higher pace than we had witnessed in all the other time we had lived in the area. For 20 years we didn't experience much growth here on the plateau and the quality of life reflected the reasons we bought here in the first place. Large stands of old fir trees often spotted with maple and alder dominated the vegetation in the area. Our own yard has ten 100' fir trees with samples of spruce, alder, hemlock and pine all on slightly more than a quarter acre. Driving through the neighborhood is a little surreal because of the still- dense vegetation. Most residential property residents preserved the original plant life while adding their own concepts to the landscaping. Today the plateau still reflects its rural roots. There was very little noticeable development until roughly the time when the section of Maple Valley Highway between 144 SE and 154th SE was converted from rural farmland into park and recreation space and residential housing. Roughly the same time, the land on either side of Duvall Ave. north of SE 128th was converted from a dense stand of tall native timber to at least three housing developments at a density considerably higher than the average on the plateau. The area also included the development of the "QFC shopping area" and the intersection of Duvall and SE 129th. Today development continues east on the plateau with dramatic changes occurring along the SE 128th and Sunset Blvd/SR 900 corridors. Not surprisingly this has lead to increased traffic in the area mostly noticeable as increasing delays at key intersections. Ambient noise levels are noticeably higher. As residential development occurs, utility construction also increases which effects traffic flow and roadway quality. Even something as innocuous as the amount of animals becoming "road kill"is indicative of reduction in habitat for native animals. As witnesses to the land use conversion of the plateau it's easy to have feelings of loss and tragedy. As residents of the area, it's easy to have feelings of frustration over the effects on quality of life. And as property owners and tax payers in the area it's easy to have feelings of anger over the decisions being made. For long time residents, we chose to live here because of the quality of life it promised. It feels like we have no choice in changes to that quality of life. In spring, 2005 we received a meeting notice from a non-profit corporation called CARE (Citizens Alliance for a Responsible Evondale). Concerned with the quality of life changes in the neighborhood, we've attended all the CARE meetings including some of their officer's meetings. ©2005 Carpenter&Associates 2 Q0L0506 Rev:New 06/20/05 Quality of Life Recently, we've become involved in the efforts of another group, the East Renton Plateau Citizens Council who also have a position on the subject of annexation. We've also begun engaging with decision makers (e.g. Renton City Council, King County Four Creeks Unincorporated Area Council) 4 About this document This document is a"snapshot" of work in progress. The Change History can help set the context of the specific version. Feedback is always welcome. 5 Objectives and Principles We became interested in quality of life in the neighborhood around the time of the construction of the QFC strip mall off Duval Ave. and SE 128th St. That construction heralded a series of noticeable changes extending mainly out the SE 128th St. corridor although it includes residential and commercial development on both sides of Duval Ave. Since that time we've seen change on the Renton East Plateau at a significantly higher pace than we had witnessed in all the other time we had lived in the area. Our objectives are to discover the appropriate means to influence quality of life in our neighborhood. The technique being used is based on the principle of"inclusion". This means that it is more important to include all points of view without taking a bias. The intent is to empower through accurate information. The assumption is that change is inevitable however outcomes are not. Results are based on the forces that exist that influence them. The level being used here is relatively high with detail investigations ONLY used to validate the higher context. Models are important because of the way they can enhance communication. 6 Scope and Boundaries There are multiple boundary designations in the neighborhood, including City Limits, Potential Annexation Area, Urban Growth Area, Unincorporated King County, and probably others along with the geographical boundaries based on the physical attributes of the area. All of these can be divided up into smaller units from a variety of perspectives. From a physical perspective the natural boundaries of the plateau east of Renton appear to be roughly I-405 on the west, Sunset Blvd/SR900 on the north, Maple Valley Highway on the south, and Lake Kathleen on the east. ©2005 Carpenter&Associates 3 Q0L0506 Rev:New 06/20/05 Quality of Life 7 Definitions 7.1 Quality of Life In general, the definitions of Quality of Life (QOL) appear to focus on the more subjective attributes of a System. There is a rich discussion of this topic in the medical profession which focuses, of course, on the Human System. The measures of quality of life are viewed from the perspective of the overall wellbeing of the person and how certain things can affect that wellbeing. Without attempting to overuse the point, a neighborhood (whether few houses, a few blocks, a few miles, a city, a county, a state, a country, etc.) can be viewed as a System with attributes not unlike a Humane System,particularly considering the dominant participation humans have in the Neighborhood System. 7.2 Livability Other, more objective attributes of the Neighborhood System can generally be categorized under the heading of Livability. In this context, Livability contributes to Quality of Life 7.3 Neighborhood The definition of neighborhood can vary considerable from person to person or group to group so it's important to understand the context within which the word is used. Here, it is usually meant as: The area included in some physical boundary definition (e.g. this street, this block, this city, this boundary, etc.) The boundaries of a neighborhood can be set based on more subjective affinity factors. For example, the neighborhood boundaries may be based on similarities in vegetation or housing type, or they might be based on external definitions like voting precinct or Growth Management land use designation. The focus here is on a neighborhood's quality of life and the ways that actions affect that quality of life. 8 Approach Inclusive: All positions are included Tools: Frameworks and Models (e.g., Influence, Accountability, Proposal, Support) 9 Readings 9.1 Randall O'Toole and the Thoreau Institute Randall O'Toole has a writing that does a very good job of providing the background and forwarding some analysis of their experience in a build-out area outside Portland, OR. He also authored a 2000 book on growth management whose principles are embodied ©2005 Carpenter&Associates 4 Q0L0506 Rev:New 06/20/05 Quality of Life and advocated by the Thoreau Institute, an advocacy group for which he is the senior economist. I've briefly corresponded with him and understand that the position he, and the Thoreau Institute, take is one of"seeking ways to protect the environment without regulations, bursary, or central control." They represent a position that is against the high degree of regulation approach to implementations of growth management and would prefer an incentive-based approach. They support letting market forces with appropriate incentives and penalties, influence the overall quality of life as growth management is played out. They also express an opinion regarding the effectiveness of"Smart Growth", the underlying theory behind Oregon's and Washington's Growth Management Acts. Their belief is that the number one negative outcome of Smart Growth is its impact on affordable housing. The Thoreau.Institute web site Randall O'Toole's 2001 "The Folly of Smart Growth" Personal Note: I think that the objective should be one of striking a balance between regulation and incentive-based growth management. There may also be a concern as to whether it's "too late" for King County to adopt incentive-based implementation because of the politics of image. In other words, the County has been severely criticized regarding its planning and outcome success. There may not be enough time to step back to integrated incentive-based components to their growth management plan. There is a visual tour of Oak Grove. OR that does a great job of integrating digital photographs with text to explaining the situation that they faced and are continuing to face. 9.2 Washington Research Council This is about the most comprehensive writing I've found analyzing the outcome of Washington State's Growth Management Act. The series of papers written in 2000-2001, focused on the objectives and measurable outcomes of the GMA at its 10-year anniversary. The Board of Trustees and Board Members of the Washington Research Council is a whose-who of Northwest businesses and the council strives to be "the independent authority on taxes and efficient government." The WRC index to publications can be found here. The 11-part series on Growth in Perspective was written in 2000 and 2001, the archives of which can be linked to via this page. The entire 11-part series can be viewed here. Given the changes that have occurred in the area and the world since 2001, I've made a request of the WRC for an update based on more current information. 10 Growth Management The topic of Growth Management became popular during the 1980s principally because of the debate between growth and environment. Based on theories like New Urbanism and Smart Growth, States across the country began to develop comprehensive growth management plans. ©2005 Carpenter&Associates 5 Q0L0506 Rev:New 06/20/05 •. Iteir Nome Quality of Life Washington State created the Growth Management Act(GMA) in 1990 with a significant revision in 1991. At the time, the Federal Government publicly recognized Washington State's Growth Management Act as one of the most comprehensive pieces of land management legislation yet produced. Based on the theory of Smart Growth, and with 13 goals, the GMA was intended to produce outcomes that struck a balance between growth and environment. Its implementation approach is characterized by significant reliance on regulations. It divides State land into sections based on intended land use and requires local governments to deal with the issue of balancing issues. As implementations of growth management legislation across the country reach their 10- year marks, there are expectations that major updates to the original plans will be produced. Part of that effort should be to review whether the legislation has produced the intended outcomes. The Washington Research Council produced an outcomes analysis of Washington State's GMA in 2000-2001. The degree to which the current land use characteristics of any region aligns to the intended land use characteristics for the GMA designation is directly related to the amount of change that the area will experience assuming that adequate attention and funding is available to factors deemed critical to the change. Some of the issues that have emerged from this change are issues of property rights, and the degree of authority current residents and area users have in the designation and/or change process. There are groups that are challenging the theories that underlie Growth Management. Smart Growth's reliance on regulations to manage the implementation has been challenged by those that argue that other forms of incentives will be at least as effective. Outcome measures reviews are also pointing to significant failures of Smart Growth to produce the intended results, particularly in the area of Affordable Housing. And local citizens, generally not involved in the process of Growth Management, are becoming more vocal about the impacts they are experiencing from its implementation. 11 Personal Information 11.1 Work experience Sharon and I recently finished 27-year careers at The Boeing Company,being hired within 6 months of each other in 1975. At Boeing, our careers included management positions from line supervision through executive levels and spanned a transformative period in Boeing's history, the outcome of which we see today as a very"different" company than the one we started with. During the period Boeing awoke from a culture of defects and shims with an attitude of having"a God-given right to 50%market share" and moved into a culture of quality, efficiency, and global competition. Being part of the culture ourselves AND in positions with leadership responsibilities we had to face head- on the challenges of causing a positive transformation in the company. Since leaving Boeing, we've started our own home-based business together.

Sharon, who had volunteered with the Humane Society for Seattle/King County for over 15 years, also took a part time job managing their outreach programs which provide animal-related assistance for low-income AIDS disabled and senior citizens. Tom and one of his business associates have collectively volunteered close to 2,000 hours since 2003 project managing and facilitation the Humane Society's disaster preparedness and business continuity program. Sharon and I are both degreed in Business Administration, one from Seattle University and the other from Seattle City College. I moved to Seattle in 1966 after graduating from high school in Iowa and, with the exception of three years as an officer in the U.S. Army, have lived in the Seattle area ever since. Sharon, on the other hand, is Renton-born and graduated from Renton High in 1970. Her parents and sister still live in the Renton area. 12 Contacts • Bonnie I.

This group is interested in pursuing a large annexation of the East Renton Plateau. A sewer moratorium for a period of 6- months will provide CARE sufficient time to study and submit a formal annexation request to the City. RECOMMENDATION: Establish a 6-month moratorium on sewer availabilities for new subdivisions on the East Renton Plateau. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: In January of this year, Council passed Ordinance 5123. This ordinance revised City code for the provision of sewer service outside City limits. At the time this matter was being brought forward to the Council,the City had just adopted revised land use for its annexation area on the plateau. In addition,the State Supreme Court had reversed its original ruling in regards to the petition method annexation process. Also, during this time period,the group currently known as CARE, was just beginning its process for evaluating a large-scale annexation on the plateau. The Council adopted Ordinance 5123 with the understanding that while development in the County would not be meeting all of the City's development standards, sewer availability could be conditioned to require the most critical of those standards. Those standards include meeting Council/Moratorium ' May 20,2005 Page 2 of 3 Renton's adopted general land use category, allowed density within the adopted land use category, and allowed structure type and scale within the adopted land use category. Sewer availability is also contingent upon the property owner executing a covenant to annex for the developed property. Along with providing service within Renton's sewer service area, one of the primary reasons for the City to once again offer sewer availability is to promote long-term annexation through the use of the covenants to annex. Since the time Council has adopted this ordinance,the CARE group has been very active in developing a potential large-scale annexation on the plateau. In their letter to Council they cite issues they have had with a number of property owners, within the potential annexation area, who have expressed concern with the City issuing sewer availabilities that cover only the core development issues as discussed above. It would be their preference that developments meet all of Renton's development standards including lot set-backs, lot widths, lot depths, and our newly adopted landscape standards. They believe that the adopted Renton Standards best meet their view of preserving the distinct character of life within their community. In addition, CARE is concerned that if the larger parcels of land vest under the lesser standards, then Renton will not be able to effectively implement the new land use policy adopted by Council in 2004,upon annexation. The CARE leadership also believes that allowing development to occur under King County standards will cause a perception that Renton is not following through on the R-4 zoning. They feel this perception could result in an anti-Renton backlash. Now that we have a focus group looking at a large-scale annexation on the plateau, Staff feels that it makes sense to move forward with their request for a limited-term moratorium on sewer availability for new subdivision requests on the plateau to allow the CARE group to actively pursue this annexation. Staff is recommending that we establish a moratorium on sewer availability for new subdivisions on the East Renton Plateau subject to the following conditions: ❑ That the Moratorium be established for a 6-month period. ❑ If CARE fails to put together a formal package for annexation to the Council within the 6-month period then the moratorium will automatically expire. ❑ If CARE puts together a formal submittal to Council within the 6-month period and sets a date for an election for annexation that is outside the 6-month period,then the moratorium will be extended until one-month after the election is held. ❑ If the election for annexation is approved,then the moratorium is to be extended through to the time that we formally annex that area. ❑ If the election fails, then the moratorium automatically expires. ❑ The area of the moratorium shall only be that portion of our sewer service area that is within the East Renton Plateau Annexation Study Area, which is generally defined as that portion of our service area east of our current City limits bounded by the Plat of White Fence Ranch and the urban growth boundary to the north, Plat of Maplewood Heights and our City limits to the west, and the urban growth boundary to the south and east. H:\File Sys\WWP-WasteWater\WWP-03-0000 Correspondence- Wastewater\davec\Sewer Outside_City_Moratorium_Issue_May05.doc\DMCtp Council/Moratorium ' May 20,2005 1`10, Page 3 of 3 One downside to this request is the additional administrative time and cost in implementing the proposed moratorium. Staff feels that this additional effort of time and increased cost is over- shadowed by the benefit of allowing this group to have an additional tool to proceed with their annexation request. Another concern is potential legal liability of implementing a sewer moratorium limited to new development. While there is always risk when City's utilize this tool, we feel that by having it in place for the limited time and only within the limited portion of our service area, we meet the intent of this important tool. Also, because this request has a fairly short time window, we do not anticipate that this will have a significant adverse impact to the long-term development of this area. CONCLUSION: One of the primary goals for establishing the current code for sewer service outside the City limits was to provide for a long-term vehicle for approaching annexation on the plateau. With the current work being performed by the CARE group, Staff feels this goal may be better achieved by allowing CARE to proceed with their annexation plans and providing for a 6-month window of no new sewer availabilities for new subdivisions. By giving this group all the tools possible to work with the property owners in this area, the potential for success is greatly enhanced. cc:Lys Hornsby,Utility Systems Director H:\File Sys\WWP-WasteWater\WWP-03-0000 Correspondence- Wastewater\davec\Sewer Outside_City_Moratorium_Issue_May05.doc\DMCtp A-minIE-2111K-1111M111111 i 0, • Avddl-mmilo -IL , m MN APIA'iii P:AiiNill PtCli: I 3 . -WM poirb 0...";:i..11 I Iliti LT;ri N oft IWFIiI!1rni a I _I opium laid I :' till , 1■■n nun;11N111■11111/4►il AMP 'to-lin ;;:,1,_-1_t null uun ■ ���� I i'iN I 14.- I1:c:liiilll_mgli� Il $ 44. o tn. nun _;I' L!iLJ 'g?47 llll !- n�•[^Imnn •. : -11' ,, _mil ink p 51 im 1=•" -Nye 1,-\mom:��'T 11/ IMMO;emu it�� __ =�� .�� .....�� __..null.II:ulle ut1.111111tra�1 :��,�IBt'■■■ CII:IIaiu :111111t1111 :� :� ��INn�an� ill r Pila1ifi% , I,,-7 1 , ,,!ikt' I' ii c:..II.AIE , : : :.N... :tre _i I. i:�Olal 1 ■ a Y►;:Cant 1 -K:� .u■,.•3..q 1— fr w __m. mg k ,'- ,-1_ :3II, ._III —F.Ni: IRK!! .,.

PROPOSED SEWER MORATORIUM BOUNDARY FOR NEW SUBDIVISION ON EAST RENTON PLATEAU MAY 2005 t 464 p,74 Og 1S‘I° COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE COMMITTEE REPORT May 23,2005 Imposing of a Sewer Moratorium in the East Plateau Potential Annexation Area (May 23, 2005) The Committee of the Whole recommends concurrence in the staff recommendation to establish a moratorium on sewer availability for new subdivisions on the East Renton Plateau subject to the following conditions: ❑ '/ e Moratorium be established for a 6-month period. ❑ If CARE fails to put together a formal package for annexation to the Council within the 6-month period then the moratorium will automatically expire. o If CARE puts together a formal submittal to Council within the 6-month period and sets a date for an election for annexation that is outside the 6-month period, then the moratorium will be extended until one-month after the election is held. o If the election for annexation is approved, then the moratorium is to be extended through to the time that we formally annex that area. o If the election fails,then the moratorium automatically expires. The area of the moratorium shall only be that portion of our sewer service area that is within the East Renton Plateau Annexation Study Area, which is generally defined as that portion of our service area east of our current City limits bounded by the Plat of White Fence Ranch and the urban growth boundary to the north, Plat of Maplewood Heights and our City limits to the west, and the urban growth boundary to the south and east. The Committee further recommends that Council direct Staff to have the City Attorney prepare a resolution regarding this matter for presentation to the Council at its next regular meeting.

Page 1 of 2 Citizens'Alliance for a Responsible Evende! 'fir Now . PROPOSED: A STRICTLY LIMITED SEWER CONCURRENCY CERTIFICATE MORATORIUM IN THE EAST RENTON PLATEAU PAA Context CARE has undertaken a major effort to formally present the question of annexation of the ERPPAA to the residents by election. We are committed to facilitating and promoting annexation of the greatest portion of the ERPPAA possible as soon as realistically feasible. The top two issues of debate to emerge in this effort are: ➢ Preservation of the distinct character and quality of life of this community ➢ Sewer extension policy The reputation of Renton as forward looking and responsive to the needs of the 7,500 local residents has been greatly improved by recent City actions, particularly with the Low Density Residential R-4 zoning and related building standards adopted with the 2004 Comprehensive Plan Update. The ban on multi-family development, plat and building design standards, wider streets and improved pedestrian/community access/safety provided for via the multiple site access requirements, as well as other components are enthusiastically supported by a wide range of voters. Challenge The R-4 net zoning is seen as a promise to protect our community and represents a distinct factor of differentiation between a future under King County and one as part of the larger Renton community. By tying issuance of sewer concurrency certificates to Renton's R-4 standard, a real commitment to this promise has been realized. Unfortunately, the associated design standards adopted along with the R-4 zoning have been inconsistently exempted from the sewer certificate approval test. If certificates are granted and subdivision development is subsequently vested under existing King County standards, the community will perceive a broken promise because the development will happen according to the lower county standards. Proposal Our request is not without precedent. The recently lifted moratorium on all out-of-city sewer service was quite similar. We also consider the recent Resolution No. 3750(Highlands Development Moratorium)to be a model for the moratorium we are requesting.We propose strict limitations on this moratorium: ➢ Only within the ERPPAA ➢ Only for a limited time—we suggest six (6) months or until the annexation question is settled Justification We ask for this moratorium for these reasons: ➢ To temporarily relieve development pressure that will result in development inconsistent with Renton's adopted Comprehensive Plan, and ➢ To allow time for a focused study of our area and the appropriate regulations that must be in place should the results of the election fall in favor of annexation to Renton, and ➢ To allow time for Renton's sewer concurrency certificate approval test to be updated remedy the current inherent inconsistency—R-4 net density is required, but the associated plat and building standards are excluded, and/or ➢ To allow time for an Interlocal Aggreement between the City and the County to be adopted, through which development will occur in a manor consistent with Renton's adopted Comprehensive Plan Conclusion Development is coming. The members of CARE believe that it is possible and responsible to ensure that the development happens in a way that is consistent with the needs of both the residents and the local government holding long term responsibility to and for both the residents and the infrastructure of this community. The requested sewer concurrency certificate moratorium would provide a clear demonstration of good faith to the residents of our community as we consider our local governance options. Its impacts will be temporary, strictly limited, and well within established precedent. We have been assured that with the official submission of our 10% Petition to Annex— anticipated within two or three months -the Renton Sewer Department will automatically institute a policy very similar, so adoption of this requested moratorium will simply prevent development applications that might be tendered in the interim — minimizing instances of development inconsistent with Renton's policies and long range plans. Recommendation Adopt a resolution establishing a moratorium on issuance of sewer concurrency certificates within the East Renton Plateau Potential Annexation Area. Page 2 of 2
