Long Range Planning Manager Angie Mathias reported that the petitioner had submitted the 60%Direct Petition to Annex and that it had been certified by King County. She explained that the purpose of tonight's public hearing was to allow Council the opportunity to accept, reject, or geographically modify the proposed annexation,and to hold the first of two required public hearings regarding the proposed zoning for the annexation area. Ms. Mathias reported that the proposed Wolf Woods Annexation site is in the East Plateau Community Planning Area Potential Annexation Area (PM),and contains single-family homes and vacant property.She noted that the topography of the area has some steep slopes, indicating that the critical area regulations would apply to the area. Greenes Creek is located on site and it is a Type Ns Stream that does not contain fish and has a seasonal flow, and there are wetlands located about 200 feet south of the site. Additionally, she noted that none of the area's public services would change:the area would stay within the Issaquah School District,would be served by the Renton Regional Fire Authority,and it would remain within water district#90 and the Renton Sewer Utility. Reviewing the site's zoning, Ms. Mathias stated that the area is designated in King County's Comprehensive Plan as Urban Residential Medium (four to twelve dwelling units per acre) and the Renton Land Use designation is Residential Low Density which allows for RC, R-1, or R-4 zoning,and noted that staff is recommending R-4 zoning for the site. June 25, 2018 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Concluding, Ms. Mathias reviewed the fiscal impact of the annexation, reported that the annexation meets the requirements of City annexation policies and Boundary Review Board objectives, and recommended that Council accept the 60% Direct Petition to Annex and authorize the administration to forward the annexation packet to the Boundary Review Board,and zone the site as R-4 zoning.
