PURPOSE OF THE PLAN: The purpose of the comprehensive plan is to secure for the citizens of the City of Renton and its immediate environs the social and economic advantages resulting from an orderly and well planned use of the land within and immediately adjacent to the City. 2e A GENERAL STATEMENT ON THE PLAN: The City of Renton had its beginnings in 1853 when Henry Tobin settled in the area now occupied by the Renton Shopping Center° With the discovery of coal in the area in the 1860 ' s , and the opening of the first coal mine in 1873 by Captain William Renton, the community grew, attracting a population consisting in the main of emigrant miners and workmen. New life and strength were injected into the community with the advent of the Denny-Renton Clay and Coal Company, now Cladd- ing McBean Company, and the Pacific Car and Foundry Plant short- ly after the turn of the century and later with the establish- ment of the present Boeing Airplane Company facilities ,and the advent of extensive public housing facilties in the community during World War II . The coal-mining era had largely passed by the early 1920 's . The 1920 ' s and the depression years of the early 1930 ' s saw little growth or change in the community with the exception of Page 2 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton some public improvements installed during the WPA years° In the period following the end of World War II many changes were wrought upon the community° The majority of the public housing units erected during the war have been removed, though many still remain in private ownership° The City of Renton, which had a population of 4 ,488 persons at the beginning of World War II , now has a current population of 20 ,176 , as of the March 31, 1963 Census° The City limits , which had changed little since its original incorporation in 1901 , fol- lowing the close of World War II , has steadily increased its area and now comprises approximately 7600 acres, Many other changes will soon be reality with the opening of the freeway section, now under construction° Further changes and problems now beset the community with the increased tempo of res- idential development, mostly within the outlying areas , with the construction of new roads and arterials, and the need for more to follow. Other patterns of development are in evidence in the community in the form of new apartments, new commercial buildings , and the development of new industrial areas with full public facilities° The need for new schools and parks by the community and its citizens will tax the community' s resources. However, these facilities , together with other public and private devel- opments and improvements , must be provided if the community is to achieve a balance equitable to the forces of population growth and economic expansion and development° To this end , then, Page 3 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton a plan has been drawn and carefully studied in the light of the past and with a view to the future, The City of Renton Comprehensive Plan is a visualization of the City and its immediate environs presently and in the future, It is not a final blueprint , but rather a general design for fut- ure growth, Since conditions and needs are bound to change in coming years ,the plan should be reviewed and revised from time to time in order to provide us with an up-to-date guide. As each new improvement is proposed, it should be studied and compared with the plan in order that the best possible placement and tim- ing of that improvement can be made. The coordinated outline of the future land use areas of the City is the basic and most important single part of the compre- hensive plan, It should not be confused with the tools by which the comprehensive plan will be implemented , for example, the pub- lic acquisition of property for parks , highways , etc, , the regu- latory operation of the police power, or the official acts of of governing bodies and administrative departments, 3 , A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF STUDIES: A. Studies: In the development of a comprehensive plan for the City a number of projects have been undertaken, which provide basic information pertinent to and necessary for the devel- opment of a carefully integrated plan for the community and its immediate environs, Included among these was an Page 4 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton economic study of the community's potential for further growth and development as a part of the Puget Sound Region and within the Seattle Metropolitan areae A forecast has been computed for the future population and its distribution, Topographic and planimetric base maps have been prepared and a land use survey has been made, The needs and requirements for public and private services and the locational criteria therefor has been evaluated and determined, Within this framework of basic information a plan for the City and its surrounding areas has been developed into an integrated pattern of residential neighborhoods commercial and indus- trial areas , arterials and streets systems , and other land uses, This plan will most likely meet the needs of the people and make the most of the community 's resources and its other potentialities and is suggested as a basis for further more detailed studies, During the development of the plans meetings were held with local neighborhood and business groups , so that they could participate actively in its pre- paration, B. Analysis: 10 Population: Population data and figures were obtained from several cources: (1 ) U. S. Bureau of Census , (2 ) Wash- ington State Census Board , ( 3) King County Planning De- partment and (4 ) The Puget Sound Regional Transportation Study, The Plan has been based on data from these Page 5 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton sources and even though variations between actuality and the projection should occur, such would not mater- ially alter the usefulness of the plan, Of course, if some unforseen change of condition should occur, which would cause drastic population changes , there would possibly be a necessity for some re-evaluation of either portions of or all of the plan, Results of the study are more fully reflected in the Preliminary Population Report for the Renton Urban Area, which provides projections to 1985. (Unpublished) 2, Economics° An economic analysis has been made of the commun- ity ' s resources and potentials utilizing information obtained from (1 ) U, Se Bureau of the Census , (3 ) Washington State Tax Commission, (4) Puget Sound Regional Transportation Study, (5) U. So Department of Commerce, (6) "Puget Sound Economics Analysis" by Ao Do Little , (7) "Statistical Handbook on Aviation" - 1961 by the Federal Aviation Agency, (8 ) "Projections of the Years 1976 to 2000" by the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Committee, ( 9 ) "Economic Projections" by the John Graham and Company Planning Department, (10 ) and others , Data and figures were interpreted and projected to the year 19850 The Comprehensive Plan has been based on these Page 6 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton projections. However, if future requirements for com- mercial and industrial facilities differed widely from projections because of rapid changes in technology, then there would be a necessity to re-evaluate certain portions of or all of the Plan. Results of the studies are more fully reflected in the Preliminary Report for the Renton Urban Area. (Un- published) 3. Physical Studies: (a) Land Use: A complete land use study was made of the Ren- ton Urban Area. This provides a complete inven- tory and mapping of all residential , industrial, commercial , public, and other physical developments in the City of Renton and in the nearby areas as existing through January 1964 . This study also provides a sound basis for the guidance and projec- tion of future development. (b) Types of Soils and Economic Land Use: Soils and Slope maps have been made to ill- ustrate the types and slope of soils existing throughout the Renton Urban Area. This valuable information is used as a guide to the future eco- nomic development of the area and to aid in Page 7 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton determining the best areas for residential, indust- rial , recreational , agricultural and other uses, (c ) Topographic and Planimetric Maps: Topographic and planimetric maps of the Ren- ton Urban Area were made ,which give a general pic- ture of the character of the terrain and the loca- tion of structures and other improvements on the lands, 4 . THE PLAN: A. The Neighborhood and Community Plan: The City of Renton plans to encourage the development of the community and its immediate environs into neighbor- hoods and general communities upon, more or less, the criteria described herein, 1 , The Neighborhood: The ideal neighborhood is a small homogenius unit, It is essentially the service area for an elementary school , It is made up of a group of families (perhaps 1 ,000 to 1 ,500 or even 2 ,500 families) on an area of land which may vary in size, but which generally will have common group interests and problems , The ingredients of an ideal neighborhood are a rather solid pattern of homes , linked by quiet streets and centered about an elementary school and a park. A small neighborhood shopping location may be spotted near Page 8 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton the edge of the neighborhood. The major highway, the arterial street or the free- way should fall on the boundary of neighborhoods so that it can serve as a fast traffic way without local turning movements, Clean neightorhoods and fast, safe arterials are the objectives , Natural or man-made barriers such as railroads, freeways , arterials, rivers, utility corridors , steep topography, etc . , should form the boundaries of neigh- borhood units. In planning, however, we must in most cases work with existing conditions with the purpose in mind of planning further growth in a neighborhood in a way which will achieve at least an approximation of the ideal. We work to avoid crowded living conditions, the splitting of the neighborhood by arterial highways , and the development of commercial and industrial establish- ments which would unnecessarily encroach into residen- tial areas. 2. Community Plan: The community is the next larger unit of planning. It is generally composed of two or more neighborhoods joined for commercial service and common special ser- vice purposes. In some instances the design for a pleasant living tends to encompass not only man' s need for a home environment , but his necessity to earn a Page 9 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton living, The community might have, preferably at its edges , a light industrial district , which will provide employment for the wage earners of the neighborhood families, It should be large enough to support junior and senior high schools , a large shopping center, pro- fessional offices , and perhaps a library, a health cent- er, a theater, and services such as fire and police pro- tection, proper sewage disposal, plentiful street light- ing, and other utilities beyond the purchasing power of the small unit of planning, B. Density Plan: The City of Renton plans that the general densities of population shall be , more or less , in accordance with the followings 1 . Within the single-family residential areas , population should range up to approximately five families per acre . 2 , Within the multiple-family areas , population densities should range up to approximately thirty (30) families per acre. 3. Population densities recommended for any given area shall take into consideration the physical limitations of the soil , topography, and the community facilities available, together with trends of existing development and community desires. C. School Plan: The City of Renton and its surrounding urban area is Page 10 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton served by the Renton, Kent, and Issaquah School Districts , and the standards used for determination of size and location of educational facilities are those set forth in the King County Planning Department and the Superintendent of Schools report entitled: "A Guide for School Planning In King Coun- ty - 1962" , The foregoing report is a very detailed and com- prehensive study ,which is considered suitable for current and future general planning for schools in the Renton Urban Area, Da Subdivision of Land : The City of Renton plans that the subdivision of land shall insure, in so far as possible, that streets are dedi- cated in the proper locations and are of the proper widths, and that individual building lots are of a proper size and shape for their intended use , and that sites for schools and parks are provided , E. Traffic Ways: The City of Renton plans that its traffic ways shall be developed, more or less, in accordance with the following: Streets should be designed according to their use, and design will vary from residential streets to heavy arterials , expressways and freeways , Generally, heavy and fast moving traffic will be routed around neighborhoods with only resi- dential streets bisecting them, Standards for different classifications of streets should be developed in detail and the construction of streets should be related to need as Page 11 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton demonstrated by traffic engineering studies. Contour platting and contour streets are thoroughly defendable, pleasing to the eye and in every way good,if not carried to extremes. F6 Standards for Shopping Centers: The City of Renton plans that shopping centers shall de- velop, more or less, according to the following: 1 . The location of shopping areas should, generally, be such that protection is given to residential areas from busi- ness encroachment while, at the same time, locating them in areas most convenient to potential customers, 2. Generally, highways should be kept free from business encroachment which, through the introduction of custom- ers and pedestrian traffic as well as cars entering and leaving the highway at any and many points, tends to materially reduce the usefulness of such highways for the purpose for which they were constructed, the fast, safe handling of traffic . Generally, spotty and strip type development should be discouraged. On the other hand, it is desirable that shopping facilities have easy access to fast arterials , thus, enabling customers to go from homes to shopping areas quickly and with a maximum degree of safety. As to actual location of new business districts , the Commission recommends that the most logical location Page 12 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton would be at the junction of the arterial streets border- ing neighborhoods. A pattern of neighborhood , community and regional business centers would likewise appear logi- cal when placed near the common or abutting corners of several neighborhoods. The policy of the City of Renton on existing centers is to encourage expansion in a radial pattern and fill- ing up of vacant lots. There is no doubt that business property like other property has to conform to certain regulatory standards for off-street parking, setbacks , height limitations , etc. , where necessary or desirable, 3. The size of shopping centers should be, more or less , as follows : a. The Neighborhood Center should be designed to serve from 1 ,500 to 10 ,000 persons and should vary in size from 5 to 20 acres. b. The Community Shopping Center should be designed to serve from 20 ,000 to 100 ,000 persons and range in size from 20 to 40 acres. c . The Regional Center is a self contained business area designed to serve a population of 100 ,000 persons or more and the area should be 40 acres or more. G. Industrial Development: The purpose of indicating industrial areas is not to dic- tate how industry should develop, but rather to recommend what would be best for the area in light of available Page 13 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton information and good planning practices,, Industry cannot be adapted to just any site,, Unless well planned for, it can produce blight in the surrounding areas,, Certain things are desirable for an industrial site. They are : 1, Level land with good drainage , 2 , Land which is not broken up by many ownerships or other uses ,, 3 , Access to transportation, primary rail , and highways. 4 , Availability to power, water and sewage disposal , 5 , An immediate or potential labor supply. 6 , Proximity to market, In any suburban area it is well to encourage "indust- rial park" type operations when new industries are built, It is desirable that any use would be allowed in such a park when it conformed to the following: L� JL 1 , It does not result in smoke, dirt , glare , smog,or excessive odors, 2, It does not result in water pollution beyond the limits of the plant. Industrial parks should be designed to protect surround- ing developments by providing screening and adequate set- backs. The reservation of space in the industrial park would be an aid to industry by providing adequate room for its Page 14 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton efficient operation, for expansion , and for employee parking and recreation. A plant which is thoughtfully located , attractive in ap- pearance , and well maintained can be a source of pride to its employees and to the community. While some light industries can be located close to res- idential neighborhoods , others should be located within spec- ial light industrial areas with more open spaces , or adjacent to heavy industrial districts. Heavy industry should be loca- ted where adequate utilities , communication, and transporta- tion are available , where reasonably close proximity to living areas will minimize commuting time , but where the community is protected from the greater noise , smoke , odors , and activities of such installations. With the construction of many miles of new highways and freeways within the City of Renton, it is the objective of the City to preserve and enhance the inherent and existing values , which will accrue to the benefit of the community in creating and maintaining the appearance of a clean , attractive and fully functional circulation system within the City. The City further intends to encourage and allow the development of new commerc- ial and industrial developments adjacent to theseeways and CtJa highways in appropriate locations according to ommercial and industrial standards , as employed and adopted by other communities and discriminating commercial and industrial organ- izations in other parts of the Puget Sound region and the United States . Page 15 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton H. Parks and Recreation Facilities : The City of Renton plans that park and recreational facilities shall develop, more or less , according to the fol- lowing: 1. It is desirable that each neighborhood have a neigh- borhood park of approximately 5 acres in size. Large elementary school sites may be considered as providing this facility, or park sites may be located in close proximity to schools . 2 . It is desirable that each community have a communi- ty park, which should be of sufficient size to pro- vide for athletic fields , a gymnasium or field house and swimming pool for community use. It is desirable that joint use of the facilities with a junior high school be obtained. 3 . It is desirable that regional and special parks , such as swimming beaches and places of natural beauty, be developed as parks . The development of these areas for recreational use usu- ally depends on two conditions . The first is that some areas have "inherent" park qualities , such as steep or difficult topography, marsh lands, beach frontage , wooded areas ,etc . The second is that it be accessible to large numbers of people . 4 . The City of Renton , together with its surrounding Page 16 Comprehensive Plan for the City of Renton area ,contains approximately 106 acres of public park, which measured against minimum standards recommended by the National Recreation Associa- tion, provides only 24 percent of the need of cur- rent population in the area.
