PUBLIC HEARING Tim D Annexation and Proposed 2oning-A-16-002:This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State Laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to consider the proposed zoning for the Tim D Annexation; 2.7 acres located in the vicinity of SE 100th St near 124th Ave SE to the east; and near NE 26th Ct. to the north. Long Range Planning Manager Angie Mathias reported that this proposed annexation already had one public hearing where the 60% Public Hearing Direct Petition to Annex notice of intent was approved and sent to the King County Boundary Review Board (BRB). Following its review,the BRB provided final approval on June 8, 2017 to move forward with the second of two required public hearings so as to allow Council the opportunity to accept, reject, or geographically modify the zoning of the proposed annexation. Ms. Mathias described where the property is located, and reported that there are steep slopes on the property, no wetlands or other environmental concerns in proximity to the Annexation area with the exception of Honey Creek approximately 700 feet to its southwest, and indicated that public services for the area would not change.She also reported that the current King County zoning is Urban Residential Low, R-1.She reported that Renton zoning is Residential Low Density,which allows for either Resource Conservation (RC), Residential (R)-1, or R-4 zoning, and noted that staff is recommending R-4 zoning for the site. Concluding, Ms. Mathias reviewed the administration's recommendation which is that Council approve the first reading of the Tim D Annexation Ordinance and approve the first reading of the ordinance zoning the area R-4, consistent with the Residential Low Density designation. Public comment was invited: • Khwaji Ali, Renton, lives in the immediate neighborhood (Honeycreek Homeowners Association) and requested that the zoning should be R-4, R-6, or better because it will directly affect the value of their homes. He also stated that what is being proposed is acceptable to their Homeowners Association. There being no further comments, it was MOVED BY PRINCE,SECONDED BY PAVONE,COUNCIL CONCUR TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED.
