ANNEXATION PUBLIC HEARING
COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF 60% DIRECT PETITION TO ANNEX
June 21, 2010
The City is in receipt of a 60% Direct Petition from property owners in the proposed
Kendall Annexation area. Under RCW 35A.14.120, direct petitions to annex are required
to have signatures representing at least 60% of the area's assessed value. The King
County Department of Assessments certified the petition as sufficient on May 20, 2010.
The 27-acre potential annexation area is located in the City's Potential Annexation Area
near the eastern portion of the City limits. The City limits comprise the western portion
of the boundary. The area is bounded by Southeast 128th Street/Northeast 4th Street at
the north, 158th Avenue Southeast to the east, and Southeast 132nd to the south.
The area is currently designated with the King County Comprehensive Plan designation
of Urban Residential Medium 4-12 du/acre and is zoned R-4, allowing four dwelling
units per gross acre. The City of Renton Comprehensive Plan designation for the area is
Residential Low Density (RLD). R-4 pre-zoning was adopted for the area in 2007 as part
of Ordinance #5254; this zoning will become effective upon annexation. The City of
Renton R-4 zone allows four dwelling units per net acre.
Council is holding this Public Hearing in order to give affected parties the opportunity to
comment about the proposed annexation. Also at this meeting, Council will decide
whether it wishes to accept the 60% Direct Petition to annex and whether or not it will
authorize the Administration to forward a Notice of Intent to Annex package to the
Boundary Review Board for King County to begin their mandatory 45-day review.

ZONING PUBLIC HEARING
Sierra Heights Elementary School Potential Annexation Area Zoning
June 21, 2010
This approximately 15-acre potential annexation area is located in the City's Potential Annexation Area
at the northern portion of the City limits. The area is bounded by the existing City limits at the north,
east, and south. 132nd Avenue Southeast is immediately east of the annexation area and Sierra Heights
Park is immediately to the west.
The area is currently designated with the King County Comprehensive Plan designation of Urban
Residential Medium 4-12 du/acre. The existing King County of the area is R-6 zoning, allowing six
dwelling units per gross acre. The City of Renton Comprehensive Plan designation for the area is
Residential Low Density (RLD). As shown on the map below, R-4, which allows four dwelling units per
net acre, is proposed. This zoning is consistent with the Residential Low Density designation.
Council is holding this Public Hearing in order to give affected parties the opportunity to comment about
the proposed zoning.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City is pursuing a contract with CH2MHill for consulting services to undertake several of the
identified priorities from the Sunset Area Community Investment Strategy adopted by Council in 2009.
RHA will ask its board to approve a separate contract for an amount up to $214,000 to perform
complimentary work specific to the redevelopment plans for Sunset Terrace. Due to U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development procurement requirements, in order for RHA to enter into a contract
with the City’s selected consultant, the City and RHA must sign an interlocal agreement that allows it to
“piggy back” on our consultant selection process. RHA has worked closely with the City to select the
consultant and develop the proposed scope of work. Approval of the interlocal with RHA is another step
in achieving the first priority of the Sunset CIS, which is to support Sunset Terrace Redevelopment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the interlocal agreement with the Renton Housing Authority and authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to sign the agreement.

Page 57 of 71
ORDINANCE NO.
PUBLIC EVENT: An event which is open to the public and does not meet the
definition of private event.
SPECIAL EVENT: Any function or gathering that is to be conducted on public

impact on transportation, public services or public safety, for a particular and
limited purpose and time. Including but not limited to:
