Renton, WA 98057
Re: Notice of Appeal of Deniai of Business License to Interstate Hood Company
329 Wells Avenue South, Renton, WA
Dear Mr. or Ms. Hearing Examiner:
We represent Interstate Hood Company, and hereby submit this Notice of Appeal on its behalf.
Statement of Facts
interstate Hood Company signed a lease for a building at 329 Wells Ave So. in the Renton
downtown core. The building was constructed in the 1950s and has been populated by
numerous businesses since that time. It is surrounded by commercial buildings, including a
large commercial laundry in multiple buildings (Service Linen Supply), a tavern (Melrose Grill),
an electric supply (Platt Electric), a general contractor's office, and the like. The Applicant
submitted what it assumed was a routine application for business license dated July 1, 2016, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Applicant indicates that its business is
"retail sales of residential and commercial kitchen hoods, inventory, and storage." It also
intends to use the building for its office. It has a warehouse location in Kent that it uses for
fabrication and large item storage. The current use and historical uses of 329 Wells Ave. will
not change; namely the building is both configured and has been used as retail, storage, and
office use for at least the past forty (40) some years the current owners have owned it.
On .July 21, 2016, the City of Renton issued an initial denial of the license, concluding that
Interstate Hood was a construction contractor for purposes of the RMC. An informal meeting
occurred between the Applicant, the building owner, and Chip Vincent, CED Administrator for
the City on September 21, 2016, which involved review of the Applicant's building plans and a
discussion of its proposed uses. No record was prepared of that meeting and documents were
shared informally.
On October 28, 2016, Mr. Vincent denied the business license application by letter attached
hereto as Exhibit B. His letter concludes that the Applicant's use would not be a "contractor's
office" as was originally determined. The letter accepts the fact that a portion of the Applicant's
business plan focuses on sales to single family owners for residential purposes, but indicates
there is a wholesale component to the proposed use. The letter suggests that the Applicant
resubmit as an unclassified use pursuant to RMC 4-2-050 via an administrative Conditional Use
Permit.

Notice of Appeal
November 11, 2016
Page 2
Statement of Errors in Fact or Law
Zoning for the property is currently Center Qowntown (Cp). Retail sales and office uses are
permitted in the CD zone. Storage is permitted as an accessory use, provided that it is limited
to products related to the allowed uses and is not located along the street frontage or in areas
visible to the public. It appears that the Applicant's intended uses comply with the zoning and
no variance is required. The conclusion that Interstate is primarily a construction contractor that
does not operate a retail business is not supported by the facts or the Renton Municipal Code
and Mr. Vincent correctly reversed that determination.
Even if the proposed uses are not allowed in CD, they are consistent with legal nonconforming
uses allowed pursuant to RMC 4-10-060, which are not impacted by change of tenancy
pursuant to RMC 4-10-040.
In order to preserve its rights under the RMC, the Applicant files this appeal while considering
whether to file a separate application as an unclassified use via an administrative Conditional
Use Permit.
Relief Requested
Interstate Hood Company seeks the following relief:
1. For an appeal hearing in accordance with RMC 4-8-110 et seq., with the ability to
supplement the record with documentation given that the September 21 meeting was
informal and no record was created;
2. For issuance of a business license to Interstate Hood Company; and
3. All other relief it may be entitled to under RMC and state law.
A check in the amount of$250 representing the fee for an appeal of Mearing Examiner's
Decision is enclosed. Thank you for your consideration in this regard.
Sincerely,
CU RAPja L FIRM P.S.

i�+�: Appeal of Business License Denial;interstate Industries, Inc. at 329
Wetls Ave. So. In Renton
Dear Mr. Casey:
I am in receipt of an appeal that was filed on July 29, 2016 for the City's denial of the
above-referenced business license application at the above-referenced location. The
denial was issued on luly 21, and the reason for the denial is that the proposed use is
not allowed under the current zoning.
Subsequent to the receipt of the appeal the City received a response letter, dated
August 12, 2015, in which you requesied a meeting. A meeting was held on September
21, 2016 date, whe�ein you provided additional information related to the Interstate
Hood eusiness mode{and operations.
After consideration of both the appeal letters and the meeting, it has been determined
that Interstate Industries, Inc. is in fact not a "contractor office" as orlginally
determined. However, despite a portion of the business plan focusing on sales to single
family home owners for retail purposes it is difficult to determine what portion of a
business is retail and what portion of a business is whole5ale. Based on the inability to
accurately determine these percentages for any one business, I have determined that
the Interstate Industries, Inc. would be considered an unclassified use pursuant to RMC
a-2-asa.
Pursuant to RMC 4-2-050.C.5.a, In order to make a determination that an unclassified
use is permitted, conditionally permitted or accessory, the Development Services
Division Director must find that the use is:
1055 South Grady Way,Renton,WA 98057• rentonwa.gov

i. In keeping with the purpose and intent of the zone, and consistenr with ihe
Renton Comprehensive Plan policies;ond
ir. Similar in nature to, and no more intense rhnn, a specifically /isted permitred,
conditional or accessory use;and
iir. Consistent with subseciron C4 of thrs Secrion, if determined to be permissible
as an accessory use.
Analvsis of the above Criteria for Interstate Industries, Inc._
r. !n keeping wich fhe purpose ond rntenc of the zone, and consisrent with Che Renton
Comprehensive Plan palicies;and
The purpose of the Center powntown {CD) zone is to provide a mixed-use urban
commercial center serving a regional market as well as high-density residential
devefopment. Uses include a wide variety of retail sales, services, multi-family
residential dwellings, and recreation and entertainment uses. The Comprehensive Plan
states that the Center powntown zone is intended to revitalize the area by creating a
vibrant, urban center in Renton's historic downtown core. Traditional retail sales,which
are permitted outright in the CD zone supports tF�e purpase and intent of the zone by its
built form and function. For examp�e, traditional retail establishments provide a
primary entry, with signage and display windows to create an attractive envi�onment to
attract patrons. This environment supparts the revitalization and creation of a vibrant
urban center in Renton's historic downtown care. Comprehensive Plan Goal L-BB strives
to maintain a high quality of life as Renton grows by ensuring that new develapment is
designed to be functional and attractive.
Interstate Industries, Inc. have indicated a portion of their business would include retail
sales, hawever a portion of their business also includes wholesale and storage. lt is
difficult to determine what portion of a business is retail and what portion is wholesale.
The key to a retail establishment's compliance with #he purpose and intent of the zone
is the form it takes in the built environment. The establishment should revitalize and
create a vibrant urban center and provide a wide variety of retail sales. For businesses
like Interstate Fiood and Fan this could be accomplished by providing a prominent ent�y
and a display and sales space on the street, meeting the City's urban design guidelines
applied to the zone, To ensure that retail/whole sale business meet the intent of the
zone, they should be permitted in the CD zone pursuant to an Administrative
Conditional Use Permit. The permit would allow fo� the City to ensure that
retail/wholesale business provide the "retail" environment necessary to create a vibrant
downtown core which would support the purpose and intent of the zone and Goals of
the Comprehensive Plan. � �-

Interstate Industries, Inc. is similar in nature to retail sa{es however it may be more
intense due to the wholesale component. The wholesale component could add such
items as larger storage areas, trucks and equipment storage and a lack of public
presence. As such, the use should be permitted in accordance with an Administrative
Conditional Use Permit and not permitted aut�ight. This would allow staff to add
conditions to ensure the use would not be more intense or have more impact on the
area than the allowed retail use.
;ii. Consisrenr wirh subsecrion C4 of rhis Secrion, if derermined to be permissrble as an

Interstate Industries, Inc. would not be considered an accessory use; therefore this
section does not apply.

and the Administrator's applicatian and interpretation of that code contained he�ein,
Interstate Industries, Inc.'s appeal to receive a business license is hereby denied.
Mowever, pursuant to RMC 4-2-050.C.6.a Unclassified Uses the business license could be

Re: Notice of Appeal of Denial of Business License to Interstate Hood Company
329 Wells Avenue South, Renton, WA
Dear Mr. or Ms. Hearing Examiner:
We represent Interstate Hood Company, and hereby submit this Notice of Appeal on its behalf.
Statement of Facts
Interstate Hood Company signed a lease for a building at 329 Wells Ave So. in the Renton
downtown core. The building was constructed in the 1950s and has been populated by
numerous businesses since that time. It is surrounded by commercial buildings, including a
large commercial laundry in multiple buildings (Service Linen Supply), a tavern (Melrose Grill),
an electric supply (Platt Electric), a general contractor's office, and the like. The Applicant
submitted what it assumed was a routine application for business license dated July 1, 2016, a
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Applicant indicates that its business is
"retail sales of residential and commercial kitchen hoods, inventory, and storage." It also
intends to use the building for its office. It has a warehouse location in Kent that it uses for
fabrication and large item storage. The current use and historical uses of 329 Wells Ave. will
not change; namely the building is both configured and has been used as retail, storage, and
office use for at least the past forty (40) some years the current owners have owned it.
On July 21, 2016, the City of Renton issued an initial denial of the license, concluding that
Interstate Hood was a construction contractor for purposes of the RMC. An informal meeting
occurred between the Applicant, the building owner, and Chip Vincent, CED Administrator for
the City on September 21, 2016, which involved review of the Applicant's building plans and a
discussion of its proposed uses. No record was prepared of that meeting and documents were
shared informally.
On October 28, 2016, Mr. Vincent denied the business license application by letter attached
hereto as Exhibit B. His letter concludes that the Applicant's use would not be a "contractor's
office" as was originally determined. The letter accepts the fact that a portion of the Applicant's
business plan focuses on sales to single family owners for residential purposes, but indicates
there is a wholesale component to the proposed use. The letter suggests that the Applicant
resubmit as an unclassified use pursuant to RMC 4-2-050 via an administrative Conditional Use
Permit.

Notice of Appeal
November 11, 2016
Page 2
Statement of Errors in Fact or Law
Zoning for the property is currentfy Center powntown (Cp). Retail sales and office uses are
permitted in the CD zone. Storage is permitted as an accessory use, provided that it is limited
to products related to the allowed uses and is not located along the street frontage or in areas
visible to the public. It appears that the Applicant's intended uses comply with the zoning and
no variance is required. The conclusion that Interstate is primarily a construction contractor that
does not operate a retail business is not supported by the facts or the Renton Municipal Code
and Mr. Vincent correctly reversed that determination.
Even if the proposed uses are not allowed in CD, they are consistent with legal nonconfarming
uses allowed pursuant to RMC 4-10-060, which are not impacted by change of tenancy
pursuant to RMC 4-10-040.
In order to preserve its rights under the RMC, the Applicant files this appeal while considering
whether to file a separate application as an unclassified use via an administrative Conditional
Use Permit.
Relief Requested
Interstate Mood Company seeks the following refief:
1. For an appeal hearing in accordance with RMC 4-8-110 et seq., with the ability to
supplement the record with documentation given that the September 21 meeting was
informal and no record was created;
2. For issuance of a business license to Interstate Hood Company; and
3. All other relief it may be entitled to under RMC and state law.
A check in the amount of$250 representing the fee for an appeal of Hearing Examiner's
Decision is enclosed. Thank you for your consideration in this regard.
Sincerely,
CU RA"�1 L FIRM P.S.
