WHEREAS, the City has recently expended substantial efforts at
improving the gateways to the City, and this area is one such
gateway; and
WHEREAS, the City of Renton wishes to enhance the City' s image
at its northern gateway by encouraging quality development that
provides an aesthetic landmark for the City and to ensure that this
unique site is ultimately developed in a manner advantageous to the
citizenry of the City of Renton; and
WHEREAS, redevelopment of these properties has a potential of
providing a significant stable tax base and a substantial
employment base for the City of Renton; and
WHEREAS, redevelopment of the properties offers an opportunity
for increased public access to the shorelines of Lake Washington
and provides an opportunity to join this waterfront site with Gene
Coulon Memorial Beach Park by bike trail; and
WHEREAS, the development of these properties may create a
significant demand upon the City' s utilities, and utility
improvements and upgrades are time consuming, expensive, and
require coordination between service providers and between the
service providers and customers; and
WHEREAS, redevelopment of these properties will cause concern
within the general area and within the City of Renton about such
issues as traffic and view blockage; and
-2-
RESOLUTION NO. 3221
WHEREAS, any redevelopment of the subject properties may have
significant impact on the need for traffic improvements along the
1-405 corridor including possible improvements to Exit 7 and Lake
Washington Boulevard; and
WHEREAS, current efforts are underway to improve I-405 and
Lake Washington Boulevard and it would be advisable to study the
area to ensure that the current planned improvements will function
with later anticipated developments in the area, and will further
function compatibly with later planned transportation improvements
caused by redevelopment in the area; and
WHEREAS, redevelopment of the properties may result in a
substantial increase in demand for governmental services, which
demands must be carefully analyzed and budgeted; and
WHEREAS, the City has been approached by JAG Development,
Inc. , a Paul Allen Company, concerning redevelopment of these
properties pursuant to a master planned phased development; and
WHEREAS, the City is specifically authorized by state statute
to designate a phased development proposal such as that proposed by
JAG Development, Inc . as a planned action; and
WHEREAS, the process of determining whether a planned action
should be designated will provide a method of providing a community
forum to discuss issues related to the redevelopment of these
properties; and
-3-
RESOLUTION NO. 3221
WHEREAS, consideration of designating a planned action would
provide an opportunity for the City to study the general area of
this proposed redevelopment before specific redevelopment plans
have been submitted so as to provide the developer with guidance,
conduct environmental review well in advance of the project in
order to avoid unnecessary environmental consequences, and further
to avoid conflicts among the City, the general public, and the
developer; and
WHEREAS, consideration of designating a planned action will
provide an early opportunity for public participation in the
environmental and permitting process; and
WHEREAS, consideration of designating a planned action will
provide an early opportunity to study and address environmental
impacts that might be caused by such planned action; and
WHEREAS, consideration of designating a planned action will
provide the opportunity to expedite the project permit process and
increase regulatory certainty, thereby increasing the likelihood
that the site will be developed to provide the public the benefits
identified in the planned action; and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to achieve, at the earliest possible
date, the cleanup of the Port Quendall site and minimize the
potential for leaching of toxic materials into Lake Washington; and
-4-
RESOLUTION NO. 3221
WHEREAS, should JAG Development, Inc . not redevelop this
property, the studies undertaken at this time will add certainty to
later redevelopment projects which would encourage redevelopment;

correct in all respects .

process to answer planning, legal, and other concerns about
redevelopment of these properties . In particular, the staff is to

-5-
RESOLUTION NO. 3221
SECTION IV. The staff is directed and authorized to
formulate the appropriate description of the planned action or
range of planned actions, including performance standards and
