The Renton Municipal Airport is zoned IM, therefore, aviation operations at the Airport are technically"non-conforming." In order to ensure that the airport does not continue as a non-conforming use, amendments to the Renton Municipal Code are required. BACKGROUND: Zoning suitable for the Renton Municipal Airport has been going through a transition dating from when the previous airport zone, "Public Use," was phased out as a City designation. The Airport was rezoned from Public Use to IM in 2000. Operation of an airport, however, was not a permitted use in the IM zone at the time of the rezone. For various reasons, but largely due to further study of the Airport Business Plan and adopting the Airport Compatible Land Use Program during the Comprehensive Plan update process, an amendment to the zoning that would allow the Airport as a permitted use in the IM zone has been delayed. A basic question throughout this process has been, "Should the zoning and development standards for the airport be more complex, or should they be simplified?" EDNSP staff, following consultation with other departments, recommends the latter course of action. h:\ednsp\title iv\multiple zone amends\airport\airport 2006\airport zoning\planning and development committee memo.doc Terri Briere,Chair Planning&Development(,..___nittee February 14, 2006 Page 2 of 3 This recommendation is based on the circumstances in place at the present time. The Business Plan is currently being administered and is intended to guide appropriate uses at the Airport. Without the business plan, each use required analysis as to its appropriateness for an airport location. In addition, the earlier zoning proposal attempted to regulate uses off the airport property to ensure their compatibility with on-airport aviation operations. This is no longer necessary due to adoption in 2003-2004 of the Renton Municipal Airport Compatible Land Use Program. This document restricts uses and potential obstacles within a defined "Airport Influence Area." For these reasons, proposed uses at the Airport do not need to be"conditionally" approved by the Hearing Examiner and can be regulated through the use of development standards already in place (Renton Municipal Code Title IV) and City-approved airport leases. RECOMMENDATIONS: The following is recommended: • Adopt amendments to the Medium Industrial zone that ensure the airport and its aviation operations may continue without impediment. Medium Industrial(IM) zoning is the most appropriate, given current and anticipated uses and the size and configuration of the Airport, but amendments to the IM allowed uses are necessary. • Allow"airport-related uses"in the IM zone as accessory uses. Airport-related uses are those that rely on proximity and access to an airport runway. This is intended to be a broad category of uses consistent with the designation of the Renton Municipal Airport as an "Essential Public Facility. " • Allow"aviation-related uses"in the IM zone as accessory uses. Aviation-related uses are those that offer aeronautical services to the public or provide support services to airport-related uses, but may not require use of the runway, tower, or other airport operation facilities. This is intended to be a discretionary category of uses,from which the City Council may approve leases, based on recommendations from the Planning/Building/Public Works Department Administrator and Airport Manager. • Remove "municipal airports" from the Center Downtown zone as a permitted use. • Remove "airplane sales and repair" from the Heavy Industrial zone as a permitted use. h:\ednsp\title iv\multiple zone amends\airport\airport 2006\airport zoning\planning and development committee memo.doc Terri Briere,Chair Planning&Development,.....imittee February 14,2006 Page 3 of 3 • Change"airplane manufacturing" from a Medium Industrial use reviewed by the Hearing Examiner to an Accessory Use, but retain the note that the use is not allowed in the area south of I-405 and north of SW 16th Street. • Add the following definitions to the Renton Municipal Code: AIRPORT, MUNICIPAL: The Renton Municipal Airport, a general aviation facility located in Renton, Washington. AIRPORT-RELATED USE: Uses that require proximity and access to an airport runway.

PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Planning: Airport Related Uses accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro Tem Clawson opened the Zoning Text Amendments (IM public hearing to consider amendments to Title IV, Development Regulations, Zone) creating an Airport District at the Renton Municipal Airport,creating a definition for "airport related use", and amending the zoning use tables to allow airport related uses and a municipal airport in the Industrial-Medium(IM)zone; and deleting airport uses from the Center Downtown (CD) zone. Rebecca Lind, Principal Planner,explained that the airport is zoned IM, and currently, airport and airport related uses are not specifically listed in the use table; therefore, the uses need to be determined, along with development standards specific to airports and the required permit types within airports. Historically, the airport was zoned Public Use(P-1); upon discontinuation of this zone, P-1 zoned parcels have been systematically rezoned, including the airport in December 2000. Ms. Lind said that staff proposes to add airport and airport related uses to the IM zone. Creation of an Airport Development District in Chapter 3,Title IV (Development Regulations), as well as a specific list of allowed and accessory uses is also proposed. Ms.Lind indicated that development standards pertinent to airport activities will also be included. Additionally, it is proposed that the hearing examiner conditional use process be required for all activities. A map of the airport area is proposed to be included in the zoning text portion of the City Code, but not on the zoning map. Ms. Lind also noted that staff proposes to eliminate the airport use from the Center Downtown (CD) zone and adopt a definition for airport related uses. Continuing, Ms. Lind detailed various format and regulatory options explored by staff prior to bringing the proposal before Council. She stated that after consideration of the options, staff recommends the creation of an Airport Development District for the following reasons: i n i I i , October 8,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 349 • Provides guidance on uses and standards and the authority is clearly stated in the Code. • It is user friendly; regulations are listed in the Code rather that in a separate document. • A zoning map overlay is not needed. In conclusion, Ms. Lind stated that the Planning Commission will review the matter at its meeting on October 10th, and the Planning &Development Committee will also review it at an upcoming meeting. Public comment was invited. Al Banholzer, 14932— 165th Pl. SE, Renton, 98059, stated his support for the establishment of a unique zone for the airport; and recommended that changes in the zoning requirements for the airport be tabled until the completion of the airport business plan. Additionally, he recommended the creation of an Airport Zoning Overlay District instead of an Airport Development District as proposed because it would more clearly define what the airport is and where it is located. Stating that regulations would be the same for both types of districts,Ms. Lind explained that under the Airport Development District, the airport would not be shown separately on the zoning map. However, a map and a description of the airport would appear in the zoning text portion of the City Code. Responding to Councilman Corman's inquiry regarding the creation of a unique airport zone, Ms.Lind indicated that option had not been pursued in an attempt to keep down the number of zones within the City. Councilman Persson and Councilman Corman stated their support for exploring that option. David J. Kotker, Airport Advisory Committee member,4339 134th P1. SE, Bellevue, 98006, said that he also supported the creation of an airport zone. Mr. Kotker recommended that the City consult with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)to ensure consistent definitions for airport uses. In addition, he asked the City to consider compatible land uses around the airport and cited Revised Code of Washington Section 36.7A.510 which relates to growth management planning for general aviation airports. Responding to Councilman Parker's inquiry regarding the airport related use definition,Mr. Kotker suggested that the City use the FAA's definition for aeronautical activity. Diane Paholke, Airport Advisory Committee member, 325 Edmonds Ave. SE, Renton, 98056, recommended that the matter be tabled until the airport business plan is completed, and she expressed her concern about how the City's proposed airport related use definition differs from the FAA's definition. Responding to Council inquiry about the timing of the proposed zoning changes,Ms. Lind explained that staff was making an effort to put these changes in place prior to the expiration of the moratorium on the approval of leases and subleases at the airport on October 31st. If Council needs more time to consider the changes, she pointed out that the Development Services Division determined that any applications submitted after the expiration of the moratorium could be processed under an administrative determination. .� i I i I i October 8,2001 Renton City Council Minutes Page 350 Councilmembers discussed the potential affects of the expiration of the moratorium and acknowledged that the pursuit of a business plan and the zoning changes were compatible with one another and could proceed in tandem. There being no further public comment, it was MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CORMAN, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. Responding to Councilman Parker's comments about the addition of the proposed airport and airport related uses list to the IM zone, Councilman Corman agreed that the list would provide protection for existing and future airport tenants. Annexation: Lee,R-8 Zoning This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Pro Tem Clawson opened the public hearing to consider R-8 (Residential Single Family; eight dwelling units per acre)zoning for the Lee Annexation; approximately 12 acres located east of Hoquiam Ave. NE(142nd Ave. SE), north of NE 9th St. (if extended) and west of 144th Ave. SE(if extended). Owen Dennison, Senior Planner, stated that subsequent to the public hearing on the 60% annexation petition on April 23rd, the King County Boundary Review Board approved the proposed annexation on July 16th. He explained that this is the second of two required public hearings on the proposed zoning for the annexation area. Describing the subject area, Mr. Dennison noted that the site contains five single-family homes and a small wetland. Continuing, Mr. Dennison indicated that the site is designated Residential Single Family under Renton's Comprehensive Plan. Potential zones are R-5 (five dwelling units per acre), RMH(Residential Manufactured Home Park), and R-8. He noted that R-8 zoning would allow for eight dwelling units per net acre compared to the existing King County zoning of R-4 which equates to approximately 7.1 units per net acre without constraints. Mr. Dennison concluded that staff recommends approval of the annexation and adoption of R- 8 zoning as proposed which is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Map. Public comment was invited. There being none, it was MOVED BY PERSSON, SECONDED BY NELSON,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 356 for ordinances.)

A public hearing will be scheduled on this matter before the Renton City Council during the Monday,October 8,Council meeting at 7:30 PM(in the 7th floor Council Chambers,Renton City Hall, 1055 South Grady Way). The purpose is to establish a list of uses allowed at the Renton Municipal Airport,and to establish development standards for those uses. The land use review process for projects at the airport will also be addressed. In the past the airport was zoned"P-1"which is a generic public use zone that was applied to a multitude of public uses including the airport,schools,parks,the wastewater treatment plant,and other public uses. No airport related uses or development standards were included in the"P-I" zoning code provisions in the City Code book. Under the"P-1"zoning designation any proposed land use action required a conditional use permit through the City Hearing Examiner. This involved a public hearing. Pursuant to policies adopted by the City several years ago in the City Comprehensive Plan,the general"P-I"zone has slowly been eliminated on a parcel by parcel basis. The"P-1"zoned parcels have been re-zoned to be consistent with the zoning of the surrounding properties. For example,many school properties zoned"P-I"have been rezoned to the residential zone of the surrounding neighborhood. In the case of the airport,several months ago the"P-I"zoning was eliminated and replaced with an"IM"(Medium Industrial)zoning designation consistent with the surrounding zoning. The"IM"zoning at the airport does not include any provisions for airport- related uses or any airport related development standards. In this respect it is similar to the old "I'-I"zone. The current"IM"zone neither permits nor restricts airport related uses at the airport. The City Council recognized that this would need to be revisited,and provisions added to the zoning code to recognize the unique characteristics and needs of the airport. The attached proposal seeks to add these needed provisions to the Zoning Code. At one point,consideration was being given by some staff members to incorporate a"non-airport related use"strip along the west boundary of the airport in the vicinity of the Chamber of Commerce office and the old restaurant building. An environmental review notification with a map was posted and sent out to airport tenants and other parties of interest. It has since been recognized that the airport covenants do not permit such a designation,and this provision has been dropped from the Zoning Code proposal. I regret any concern or inconvenience that this posting has caused. .asv 19O12po1 c:WINDOWS\i- MP\aitpon tO$.O tth Grady Way-Renton,Washington 98055 ,r �.� This paper contains 50%recycled material,30%post consumer , tm °' September 26,2001 Page 2 Please take time to review the current proposal(attached).

BACKGROUND: Earlier this year, the City Council rezoned the Renton Municipal Airport from Public Use (P-1) Zone to the Industrial Medium (IM) Zone. This choice was made because the IM zone implements the Employment Area — Industrial land use designation shown on the City's Comprehensive Plan and because the scale of uses allowed in the zone are compatible with activities found at the airport. However, airport related uses and a municipal airport are not currently listed uses in this zone. At the time of the re-zone, the City Council was advised that a zoning text amendment would be required to clarify how the existing uses on the airport would be treated within the IM zone. The existing Title N,Chapter 3, Special Districts,includes an airport section that establishes height and use restrictions on areas surrounding the airport, but these regulations do not apply within the airport itself. During the ensuing months, several diffeient ways of putting airport regulations into the code were explored. These options are summarized in Attachment 1. These different approaches to the code present the same allowed activities in alternative formats: e.g. overlay zone verses allowing the uses through a definition applied to the IM zone. The approaches differ mainly in whether a more detailed list of uses would be defined than historically used in administering the airport and whether that list of uses and the new proposed development standards should be codified or presented in an administiative format. A further consideration was whether the processing of the airport regulations would be done through building permits, or through a conditional use permit requiring a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner. Under the P-1 zone,the municipal airport function was a principal permitted use,but the various airport- related uses were administered through a conditional use permit process. There was no specific list of allowed activities or development standards addressing airport uses. Decisions about which activities were "airport-related" were made administratively first by the Airport Manager, and ultimately by the City Council upon review of leases. Adnzinisti alive oversight of sub-leases and development standards within the airport development were problematic enough in the past to prompt the prior Airport Manager to recommend that a more stringent and systematic process be established. Enforcement and implementation of desired standards were also perceived as problematic. In order to address these concerns, staff recommends adoption of Option 2, the Airport Development District. This approach is similar to an overlay zone,but differs in the way the airport is mapped on the zoning map. The Development District creates a new set of airport district regulations including an extensive list of airport-related primary and accessory uses that are the only uses allowed at the Airport- These provisions also include development standards for uses located within the Airport thereby facilitating both management and enforcement. Examples include: provisions for setbacks, landscaping, parking, the siting of towers and antennas,lot coverage, and building height. The proposed new use and development standards will ensure that only airport-related uses are permitted at the Renton Municipal Airport. The list of allowed uses, as proposed, includes the existing and historical uses at the airport encompassing activities permitted under existing leases. The list is found in Attachment 2, Section 4-3- 20,Airport District Regulations. Activities allowed at the Airport would include the following categories: New H Drive Folder/Title IV/Multiple 7oneiAirporflMAirpt Council Issue Paper#4 .September 18,2001 Page 3 1) operation,maintenance and management of a municipal airport, 2) nianufacturing and assembling of aircraft and aircraft components, 3) s.vices when operated for the benefit of the aviation public such as aircraft rental, sales maintenance, flight training, seaplane operation, U.S. Customs, administrative offices, flying clubs, aid 4) a variety of accessory uses. The p-oposed zoning also lists a category for "other similar" airport related uses and accessory uses as appro'-ed by the Hearing Examiner to provide some flexibility. Although a specific list of uses is propoi ed,it is not the intent of this zoning to limit choices to this narrowly defined list if other activities, which are yet contemplated,meet the intent of the development district. A nem definition for "airport related use" is proposed as the zoning code currently does not have one. This d:fmition provides guidance for staff and the public in determining which activities will be allowed. The definition states: A use which requires access to the airport taxiways and/or runway and either offers an aeronautical support service to the public or offers aeronautical support services to airport opera!rrs otherwise entitled to use the public landing areas' It wou d be possible to implement the Airport Development District with either out-right permitted uses, admini stiative conditional uses, or Hearing Examiner conditional uses for the review process. These differe it processes require different levels of findings and conclusions to be made during the staff analysis, and different levels of public notice and public involvement. A comparison of these processing choice:is presented in Attachment 3. The recommendation is to require a Hearing Examiner conditional uses permit This process is recommended in order to allow review of the compatibility and fit of uses, and to ensure that the aviation public, businesses, and residents have an opportunity to review changing uses ar d conditions at this vital municipal facility. A furt1 er issue concerns the pros and cons of adopting the airport on the zoning map as a true "overlay" district This is the distinguishing characteristic between Options 1 "Overlay"and the staff recommended Option 2, the "Development District". The staff recommendation is to include an illustration within the code te',ct,but to not show it on the zoning map. As the Airport is a public facility and does not include multipl: parcels in private ownership, staff finds that amending the zoning map with an overlay is not critical for public disclosure and information. An additional delineation on the zoning map could make the mai more complex and difficult to read. However,if the district is only established within the zoning text as proposed,a full legal description of the airport will also need to be included. An hou>ekeeping amendment to the zoning use tables is proposed to eliminate an error listing municipal airports as allowed in the Center Downtown (CD) zone. This provision is probably an oversight carried forward from the old B-1 zone in effect prior to 1993. Staff is recommending that this provision be deleted from the use tables, as it is unlikely that airport operations would ever be extended across the Cedar F iver into the CD zone. CONCI.USION: Propose d amendments to Title 4, Chapter 3, creating an Airport District Regulations for the Renton Municipal Airport through the adoption of new "Use and Development Standards for the Renton Municipal Airport" along with proposed amendments to both the use tables, definitions and conditions, making "municipal airports" and "airport related uses" Hearing Examiner conditional uses, will ensure the greatest opportunity for public involvement and the compatibility of airport activities.

RECOMMENDATION: • Create an Airport Development District for the Renton Municipal Airport. • Add"municipal airport"and"airport related uses"as a Hearing Examiner Conditional Uses in the IM Zone and making such uses subject to the new "Development Standards for the Renton Municipal Airport". • Add a definition for "airport related use" in Chapter 11, Definitions, and adding a new Condition #222 for the Use Tables requiring that all"municipal airports"and"airport related uses"only occur at September 18,2001 Page 2 the Renton Municipal Airport and comply with the proposed"Development Standards for the Renton Municipal Airport". • Include a description of the airport area in the Airport Development District code. • Delete"municipal airport"as a permitted use in the CD Zone. BACKGROUND: Earlier this year, the City Council rezoned the Renton Municipal Airport from Public Use (P-1) Zone to the Industrial Medium (IM) Zone. This choice was made because the IM zone implements the Employment Area — Industrial land use designation shown on the City's Comprehensive Plan and because the scale of uses allowed in the zone are compatible with activities found at the airport. However, airport related uses and a municipal airport are not currently listed uses in this zone. At the time of the re-zone, the City Council was advised that a zoning text amendment would be required to clarify how the existing uses on the airport would be treated within the IM zone. The existing Title IV, Chapter 3, Special Districts, includes an airport section that establishes height and use restrictions on areas surrounding the airport, but these regulations do not apply within the airport itself. During the ensuing months, several different ways of putting airport regulations into the code were explored. These options are summarized in Attachment 1. These different approaches to the code present the same allowed activities in alternative formats: e.g. overlay zone verses allowing the uses through a definition applied to the IM zone. The approaches differ mainly in whether a more detailed list of uses would be defined than historically used in administering the airport and whether that list of uses and the new proposed development standards should be codified or presented in an administrative format. A further consideration was whether the processing of the airport regulations would be done through building permits, or through a conditional use permit requiring a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner. Under the P-1 zone, the municipal airport function was a principal permitted use,but the various airport- related uses were administered through a conditional use permit process. There was no specific list of allowed activities or development standards addressing airport uses. Decisions about which activities were "airport-related" were made administratively first by the Airport Manager, and ultimately by the City Council upon review of leases. Administrative oversight of sub-leases and development standards within the airport development were problematic enough in the past to prompt the prior Airport Manager to recommend that a more stringent and systematic process be established. Enforcement and implementation of desired standards were also perceived as problematic. In order to address these concerns, staff recommends adoption of Option 2, the Airport Development District. This approach is similar to an overlay zone, but differs in the way the airport is mapped on the zoning map. The Development District creates a new set of airport district regulations including an extensive list of airport-related primary and accessory uses that are the only uses allowed at the Airport. These provisions also include development standards for uses located within the Airport thereby facilitating both management and enforcement. Examples include: provisions for setbacks, landscaping, parking, the siting of towers and antennas, lot coverage, and building height. The proposed new use and development standards will ensure that only airport-related uses are permitted at the Renton Municipal Airport. The list of allowed uses, as proposed, includes the existing and historical uses at the airport encompassing activities permitted under existing leases. The list is found in Attachment 2, Section 4-3- 20, Airport District Regulations. Activities allowed at the Airport would include the following categories: New H Drive Folder/Title IV/Multiple Zone/Aitport/lMAirpt Council Issue Paper#4 September 18, 2001 Page 3 1) operation,maintenance and management of a municipal airport, 2) manufacturing and assembling of aircraft and aircraft components, 3) services when operated for the benefit of the aviation public such as aircraft rental, sales maintenance, flight training, seaplane operation, U.S. Customs, administrative offices, flying clubs, and 4) a variety of accessory uses. The proposed zoning also lists a category for "other similar" airport related uses and accessory uses as approved by the Hearing Examiner to provide some flexibility. Although a specific list of uses is proposed, it is not the intent of this zoning to limit choices to this narrowly defined listmf other activities, which are yet contemplated,meet the intent of the development district. A new definition for "airport related use" is proposed as the zoning code currently does not have one. This definition provides guidance for staff and the public in determining which activities will be allowed. The definition states: "A use which requires access to the airport taxiways and/or runway and either offers an aeronautical support service to the public or offers aeronautical support services to airport operators otherwise entitled to use the public landing areas". It would be possible to implement the Airport Development District with either out-right permitted uses, administrative conditional uses, or Hearing Examiner conditional uses for the review process. These different processes require different levels of findings and conclusions to be made during the staff analysis, and different levels of public notice and public involvement. A comparison of these processing choices is presented in Attachment 3. The recommendation is to require a Hearing Examiner conditional uses permit. This process is recommended in order to allow review of the compatibility and fit of uses, and to ensure that the aviation public, businesses, and residents have an opportunity to review changing uses and conditions at this vital municipal facility. A further issue concerns the pros and cons of adopting the airport on the zoning map as a true "overlay" district. This is the distinguishing characteristic between Options 1 "Overlay"and the staff recommended Option 2, the "Development District". The staff recommendation is to include an illustration within the code text, but to not show it on the zoning map. As the Airport is a public facility and does not include multiple parcels in private ownership, staff finds that amending the zoning map with an overlay is not critical for public disclosure and information. An additional delineation on the zoning map could make the map more complex and difficult to read. However, if the district is only established within the zoning text as proposed, a full legal description of the airport will also need to be included. An housekeeping amendment to the zoning use tables is proposed to eliminate an error listing municipal airports as allowed in the Center Downtown (CD) zone. This provision is probably an oversight carried forward from the old B-1 zone in effect prior to 1993. Staff is recommending that this provision be deleted from the use tables, as it is unlikely that airport operations would ever be extended across the Cedar River into the CD zone. CONCLUSION: Proposed amendments to Title 4, Chapter 3, creating an Airport District Regulations for the Renton Municipal Airport through the adoption of new "Use and Development Standards for the Renton Municipal Airport" along with proposed amendments to both the use tables, definitions and conditions, making "municipal airports" and "airport related uses" Hearing Examiner conditional uses, will ensure the greatest opportunity for public involvement and the compatibility of airport activities.

Planning: IM Zone Revisions Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman reported on to Accommodate Airport the proposed revisions to the Industrial Medium(IM)zone regarding airport- Related Uses related uses. He explained that introducing airport-related use provisions to the 1 L IM zone at the airport would be beneficial in that it would help prevent the {1 introduction of non-airport-related uses at the airport and would restrict undesirable airport-related uses in areas of the City which have IM zoning. Stating that he met with airport tenants today to discuss the proposed zoning code changes, he indicated that the tenants now have a better understanding of the City's intentions, and he relayed their desire to be involved with the process. Mr. Zimmerman said that this item will be brought before Council for consideration within the next few weeks prior to expiration of the airport lease moratorium on October 31, 2001. Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler asked that all options considered by staff regarding this item be forwarded to the Planning and Development Committee in addition to staffs recommendation.

A public hearing will be scheduled on this matter before the Renton City Council during the Monday,October 8,Council meeting at 7:30 PM(in the 7th floor Council Chambers,Renton City Hall, 1055 South Grady Way). The purpose is to establish a list of uses allowed at the Renton Municipal Airport,and to establish development standards for those uses. The land use review process for projects at the airport will also be addressed. In the past the airport was zoned"P-1"which is a generic public use zone that was applied to a multitude of public uses including the airport,schools,parks,the wastewater treatment plant, and other public uses. No airport related uses or development standards were included in the"P-1" zoning code provisions in the City Code book. Under the"P-I"zoning designation any proposed land use action required a conditional use permit through the City Hearing Examiner. This involved a public hearing. Pursuant to policies adopted by the City several years ago in the City Comprehensive Plan,the general"P-1"zone has slowly been eliminated on a parcel by parcel basis. The"P-1"zoned parcels have been re-zoned to be consistent with the zoning of the surrounding properties. For example,many school properties zoned"P-I"have been rezoned to the residential zone of the surrounding neighborhood. In the case of the airport,several months ago the"P-1"zoning was eliminated and replaced with an"IM"(Medium Industrial)zoning designation consistent with the surrounding zoning. The"IM"zoning at the airport does not include any provisions for airport- related uses or any airport related development standards. In this respect it is similar to the old "P-1"zone. The current"IM"zone neither permits nor restricts airport related uses at the airport. The City Council recognized that this would need to be revisited,and provisions added to the zoning code to recognize the unique characteristics and needs of the airport. The attached proposal seeks to add these needed provisions to the Zoning Code. At one point,consideration was being given by some staff members to incorporate a"non-airport related use"strip along the west boundary of the airport in the vicinity of the Chamber of Commerce office and the old restaurant building. An environmental review notification with a map was posted and sent out to airport tenants and other parties of interest. It has since been recognized that the airport covenants do not permit such a designation,and this provision has been dropped from the Zoning Code proposal. I regret any concern or inconvenience that this posting has caused. . ;t o �3 1901 2001 CANVINDOWS\TEMP\airport iatitoSouth Grady Way-Renton,Washington 98055 4.)

BACKGROUND: Earlier this year, the City Council rezoned the Renton Municipal Airport from Public Use (P-1) Zone to the Industrial Medium (IM) Zone. This choice was made because the IM zone implements the Employment Area — Industrial land use designation shown on the City's Comprehensive Plan and because the scale of uses allowed in the zone are compatible with activities found at the airport. However, airport related uses and a municipal airport are not currently listed uses in this zone. At the time of the re-zone, the City Council was advised that a zoning text amendment would be required to clarify how the existing uses on the airport would be treated within the IM zone. The existing Title IV, Chapter 3, Special Districts, includes an airport section that establishes height and use restrictions on areas surrounding the airport, but these regulations do not apply within the airport itself During the ensuing months, several different ways of putting airport regulations into the code were explored. These options are summarized in Attachment 1. These different approaches to the code present the same allowed activities in alternative formats: e.g. overlay zone verses allowing the uses through a definition applied to the IM zone. The approaches differ mainly in whether a more detailed list of uses would be defined than historically used in administering the airport and whether that list of uses and the new proposed development standards should be codified or presented in an administrative format. A further consideration was whether the processing of the airport regulations would be done through building permits, or through a conditional use permit requiring a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner. Under the P-1 zone, the municipal airport function was a principal permitted use,but the various airport- related uses were administered through a conditional use permit process. There was no specific list of allowed activities or development standards addressing airport uses. Decisions about which activities were "airport-related" were made administratively first by the Airport Manager, and ultimately by the City Council upon review of leases. Administrative oversight of sub-leases and development standards within the airport development were problematic enough in the past to prompt the prior Airport Manager to recommend that a more stringent and systematic process be established. Enforcement and implementation of desired standards were also perceived as problematic. In order to address these concerns, staff recommends adoption of Option 2, the Airport Development District. This approach is similar to an overlay zone, but differs in the way the airport is mapped on the zoning map. The Development District creates a new set of airport district regulations including an extensive list of airport-related primary and accessory uses that are the only uses allowed at the Airport. These provisions also include development standards for uses located within the Airport thereby facilitating both management and enforcement. Examples include: provisions for setbacks, landscaping, parking,the siting of towers and antennas,lot coverage,and building height. The proposed new use and development standards will ensure that only airport-related uses are permitted at the Renton Municipal Airport. The list of allowed uses, as proposed, includes the existing and historical uses at the airport encompassing activities permitted under existing leases. The list is found in Attachment 2, Section 4-3- 20,Airport District Regulations. Activities allowed at the Airport would include the following categories: New 11 Drive Folder/Title IV/Multiple Zone/Airport/IMAirpt Council Issue Paper#4 • September 18, 2001 Page 3 1) operation, maintenance and management of a municipal airport, 2) manufacturing and assembling of aircraft and aircraft components, 3) services when operated for the benefit of the aviation public such as aircraft rental, sales maintenance, flight training, seaplane operation, U.S. Customs, administrative offices, flying clubs, and 4) a variety of accessory uses. The proposed zoning also lists a category for "other similar" airport related uses and accessory uses as approve( by the Hearing Examiner to provide some flexibility. Although a specific list of uses is proposec, it is not the intent of this zoning to limit choices to this narrowly defined listmf other activities, which ar yet contemplated,meet the intent of the development district. A new defmition for "airport related use" is proposed as the zoning code currently does not have one. This definition provides guidance for staff and the public in determining which activities will be allowed. The deli cation states: "A use which requires access to the airport taxiways and/or runway and either offers an aeronautical support service to the public or offers aeronautical support services to airport operator..otherwise entitled to use the public landing areas". It would be possible to implement the Airport Development District with either out-right permitted uses, administi ative conditional uses, or Hearing Examiner conditional uses for the review process. These different processes require different levels of fmdings and conclusions to be made during the staff analysis, and different levels of public notice and public involvement. A comparison of these processing choices i;;presented in Attachment 3. The recommendation is to require a Hearing Examiner conditional uses perr.ut. This process is recommended in order to allow review of the compatibility and fit of uses, and to en sure that the aviation public, businesses, and residents have an opportunity to review changing uses and :onditions at this vital municipal facility. A further issue concerns the pros and cons of adopting the airport on the zoning map as a true "overlay" district "'his is the distinguishing characteristic between Options 1 "Overlay"and the staff recommended Option 2, the "Development District". The staff recommendation is to include an illustration within the code text but to not show it on the zoning map. As the Airport is a public facility and does not include multiple parcels in private ownership, staff finds that amending the zoning map with an overlay is not critical fc r public disclosure and information. An additional delineation on the zoning map could make the map r lore complex and difficult to read. However,if the district is only established within the zoning text as prt posed, a full legal description of the airport will also need to be included. An house Keeping amendment to the zoning use tables is proposed to eliminate an error listing municipal airports as allowed in the Center Downtown (CD)zone. This provision is probably an oversight carried forward from the old B-1 zone in effect prior to 1993. Staff is recommending that this provision be deleted fr mm the use tables, as it is unlikely that airport operations would ever be extended across the Cedar Rig er into the CD zone. CONCLUSION: Proposed amendments to Title 4, Chapter 3, creating an Airport District Regulations for the Renton Municipal Airport through the adoption of new "Use and Development Standards for the Renton Municipal Airport" along with proposed amendments to both the use tables, defmitions and conditions, making "municipal airports" and "airport related uses" Hearing Examiner conditional uses, will ensure the greatest opportunity for public involvement and the compatibility of airport activities.

BACKGROUND: Earlier this year, the City Council rezoned the Renton Municipal Airport from Public Use (P-1) Zone to the Industrial Medium (IM) Zone. This choice was made because the IM zone implements the Employment Area — Industrial land use designation shown on the City's Comprehensive Plan and because the scale of uses allowed in the zone are compatible with activities found at the airport. However, airport related uses and a municipal airport are not currently listed uses in this zone. At the time of the re-zone, the City Council was advised that a zoning text amendment would be required to clarify how the existing uses on the airport would be treated within the IM zone. The existing Title IV, Chapter 3, Special Districts, includes an airport section that establishes height and use restrictions on areas surrounding the airport, but these regulations do not apply within the airport itself. During the ensuing months, several different ways of putting airport regulations into the code were explored. These options are summarized in Attachment 1. These different approaches to the code present the same allowed activities in alternative formats: e.g. overlay zone verses allowing the uses through a definition applied to the IM zone. The approaches differ mainly in whether a more detailed list of uses would be defined than historically used in administering the airport and whether that list of uses and the new proposed development standards should be codified or presented in an administrative format. A further consideration was whether the processing of the airport regulations would be done through building permits, or through a conditional use permit requiring a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner. Under the P-1 zone, the municipal airport function was a principal permitted use,but the various airport- related uses were administered through a conditional use permit process. There was no specific list of allowed activities or development standards addressing airport uses. Decisions about which activities were "airport-related" were made administratively first by the Airport Manager, and ultimately by the City Council upon review of leases. Administrative oversight of sub-leases and development standards within the airport development were problematic enough in the past to prompt the prior Airport Manager to recommend that a more stringent and systematic process be established. Enforcement and implementation of desired standards were also perceived as problematic. In order to address these concerns, staff recommends adoption of Option 2, the Airport Development District. This approach is similar to an overlay zone,but differs in the way the airport is mapped on the zoning map. The Development District creates a new set of airport district regulations including an extensive list of airport-related primary and accessory uses that are the only uses allowed at the Airport. These provisions also include development standards for uses located within the Airport thereby facilitating both management and enforcement. Examples include: provisions for setbacks, landscaping, parking, the siting of towers and antennas, lot coverage, and building height. The proposed new use and development standards will ensure that only airport-related uses are permitted at the Renton Municipal Airport. The list of allowed uses, as proposed, includes the existing and historical uses at the airport encompassing activities permitted under existing leases. The list is found in Attachment 2, Section 4-3- 20,Airport District Regulations. Activities allowed at the Airport would include the following categories: New H Drive Folder/Title IV/Multiple Zone/Airport/IMAirpt Council Issue Paper#4 1 • September 18, 2001 Page 3 1) operation, maintenance and management of a municipal airport, 2) manufacturing and assembling of aircraft and aircraft components, 3) services when operated for the benefit of the aviation public such as aircraft rental, sales maintenance, flight training, seaplane operation, U.S. Customs, administrative offices, flying clubs, and 4) a variety of accessory uses. The proposed zoning also lists a category for "other similar" airport related uses and accessory uses as approved by the Hearing Examiner to provide some flexibility. Although a specific list of uses is proposed, it is not the intent of this zoning to limit choices to this narrowly defined list(if other activities, which are yet contemplated, meet the intent of the development district. A new definition for "airport related use" is proposed as the zoning code currently does not have one. This definition provides guidance for staff and the public in determining which activities will be allowed. The definition states: "A use which requires access to the airport taxiways and/or runway and either offers an aeronautical support service to the public or offers aeronautical support services to airport operators otherwise entitled to use the public landing areas". It would be possible to implement the Airport Development District with either out-right permitted uses, administrative conditional uses, or Hearing Examiner conditional uses for the review process. These different processes require different levels of findings and conclusions to be made during the staff analysis, and different levels of public notice and public involvement. A comparison of these processing choices is presented in Attachment 3. The recommendation is to require a Hearing Examiner conditional uses permit. This process is recommended in order to allow review of the compatibility and fit of uses, and to ensure that the aviation public, businesses, and residents have an opportunity to review changing uses and conditions at this vital municipal facility. A further issue concerns the pros and cons of adopting the airport on the zoning map as a true "overlay" district. This is the distinguishing characteristic between Options 1 "Overlay"and the staff recommended Option 2, the "Development District". The staff recommendation is to include an illustration within the code text, but to not show it on the zoning map. As the Airport is a public facility and does not include multiple parcels in private ownership, staff finds that amending the zoning map with an overlay is not critical for public disclosure and information. An additional delineation on the zoning map could make the map more complex and difficult to read. However, if the district is only established within the zoning text as proposed, a full legal description of the airport will also need to be included. An housekeeping amendment to the zoning use tables is proposed to eliminate an error listing municipal airports as allowed in the Center Downtown (CD) zone. This provision is probably an oversight carried forward from the old B-1 zone in effect prior to 1993. Staff is recommending that this provision be deleted from the use tables, as it is unlikely that airport operations would ever be extended across the Cedar River into the CD zone. CONCLUSION: Proposed amendments to Title 4, Chapter 3, creating an Airport District Regulations for the Renton Municipal Airport through the adoption of new "Use and Development Standards for the Renton Municipal Airport" along with proposed amendments to both the use tables, definitions and conditions, making "municipal airports" and "airport related uses" Hearing Examiner conditional uses, will ensure the greatest opportunity for public involvement and the compatibility of airport activities.
