PROJECT DESCRIPTION: 2019 Docket #14, Group E
#D-164: Relief from RMC Standards - Renton Municipal Code allows applicants to propose modified standards
and thereby be granted relief from instances where the strict application of the Code creates an impractical
difficulty.
#D-169: Site Plan Review - Revises criteria used to distinguish a minor from a major modification of an
approved site plan, and considers measurable aspects of a development other than scale or area (e.g., density,
building materials, etc.).
#D-170: Auto Mall Area B - The AutoMall “B” overlay enables car sales; this proposal is to remove the overlay
from lots where vehicle sales businesses do not currently operate.
#D-171: Stream Reclassification - Reclassification of three streams based on biological assessments conducted
prior to land use projects. Specifically, reclassification of approximately 2,400 feet of Maplewood Creek from
Type Np to F and reclassification of approximately 400 feet of Kennydale Creek from Type Ns to Np.
#D-172: Code Clean Up - The first installment of a chapter-by-chapter review of code to improve consistency
of language, formatting, and other superficial changes. These code amendments are non-substantive and do
not reflect any changes in policy or procedure.
