San Jose,CA 95112 SUBJECT: Fry's Property Rezone,LUA-02-149, ECF,R Dear Ms.Kolder: This letter is sent to inform you that the rezone of the Fry's Electronics property,located on Garden Avenue North in Renton Washington,has been approved by the Renton City Council. The property is now zoned Center/Office/Residential 3(COR 3). The completion of this rezone releases the property from the Heavy Industrial zone development moratorium currently in effect in Renton. The Comprehensive Plan designation for the property remains the same,Employment Area—Transition(Interim). The Center/Office/Residential zone is intended to provide for a mix of intensive uses in a more urban context than traditional industrial areas. COR 3 allows multi-family residential,office,and a wide variety of commercial development. "Big-box"retail was not previously allowed in COR zones,but a simultaneous code amendment was approved that added this use to the COR 3 zone at this location. The other COR 3 uses are allowed on the property,although multi-family residential use has been referred to the City Council's Planning and Development Committee for further discussion. Included with this letter is a list of allowable uses in the Center/Office/Residential zones(although the list has not yet been revised to show big-box retail as an allowed use). The COR zones in Renton have been designated as"gateways"to the City and are intended to be designed accordingly. The position of the Fry's property,in relation to Interstate 405,makes it a gateway location. Site Plan Review will be required for future project approval.We have also included the development standards for the COR 3 zone with this letter. An advantage to developers in this zone is that these standards can be"customized"to meet the particular needs of the end user. We encourage you and future developers of this property to continue working closely with the Economic Development,Neighborhoods, and Strategic Planning Department in this regard.

C:\Documents and Settings\mpetersen\Local Settings\Temp\Fry's Rezone Agenda Bill.doc/ CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS AND STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMORANDUM DATE: March 13, 2003 TO: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Council President Members of the Renton City Council VIA: .J f' Mayor Jesse Tanner FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator tied STAFF CONTACT: Rebecca Lind SUBJECT: Rezone of 21.37 acres from Heavy Industrial (IH) zone to Center Office Residential 3 (COR3) zone (Fry Property). ISSUE: • Whether to re-zone the 21.37 acres of land designated Employment Area-Transition from Heavy Industrial (IH) zone to Center/Office/Residential 3(COR3) zone. • Whether to allow residential use on this site? RECOMMENDATION: • Hearing Examiner's Recommendation Approve the request to reclassify the subject site from IH to COR3 subject to the finalization of Ordinance 5001. Consider limiting the use of the subject site to commercial and retail uses since development of residential uses adjacent to the existing heavy industrial Boeing complex might be incompatible. • Refer the issue of residential use in the COR 3 zone east of Garden Ave. to the Planning and Development Committee. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: A rezone of the Fry's property was requested in order to change the allowed uses on the site from industrial to office and commercial including big box retail. Industrial uses are no longer considered appropriate for the site given the Comprehensive Plan designation of March 13, 2003 Page 2 Employment Area- Transition. The proposed re-zone is from Heavy Industrial to Center/Office/Residential 3. Earlier this year the Council approved a zoning text amendment adding the "big-box" use east of Garden Ave and north of NE 8th St. to the COR3 zone (Ordinance 5001). This code change became effective on March 12, 2003. Adding the "big box" retail as a use type in the COR- 3 zone needed to be done prior to rezoning the Fry's property into the COR 3 zoning classification so that the big box retail development now under construction on the site would remain a conforming use. Earlier this month Council lifted the moratorium from properties in the Valley and the portions of the North Renton industrial area along Houser Way. The Fry's property remained in the moratorium because it was still zoned IH. The combined action of adding the "big box" retail use to the COR code and rezoning the property into the COR classification will finally remove the Fry property from the moratorium. The issue of whether residential use should be restricted on this site was reviewed by staff upon receipt of the Hearing Examiner's report. The existing Employment Area-Transition Comprehensive Plan policy LU-212.41 states that consideration should only be given to COR rezones that allow residential uses in the area west of Park Ave. North. This policy is currently under review as part of the Comprehensive Plan Update due in 2004, and as part of the Boeing Comprehensive Plan Amendment process that will consider and evaluate the Employment Area-Transition policies. As the site is currently being developed with big-box retail staff initially was not convinced that residential use is an issue for the area east of Park Ave. However, as the property does have additional redevelopment potential, the Council may want to consider the residential issue further. Under the present COR development standards, garden style apartments could be developed on the site. If the Council wants to limit residential use, an additional zoning text amendment will be required. CONCLUSION: Concur with the Hearing Examiner recommendation for the re-zone but refer the issue of residential use in the COR 3 zone east of Garden Ave. to the Planning and Development Committee for review and recommendation. • February 13,2003 OFFICE OF THE HEARING EXAMINER CITY OF RENTON r REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION RECEr�T!)

SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Rezone of 21.37 acres of land designated Employment Area— Transition from Heavy Industrial(IH)zone to Center/Office/Residential 3 (COR3)zone. SUMMARY OF ACTION: Development Services Recommendation: Approve DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT: The Development Services Report was received by the Examiner on January 28, 2003 PUBLIC HEARING: In accordance with Section 4-8-14(CX2),the Hearing Examiner shall determine if a change of zone classification is advisable, in the public interest,tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights of the petitioner, is not materially detrimental to the public welfare of the properties of other persons located in the vicinity thereof,and is in harmony with the purposes and effect of the Comprehensive Plan. In such event,the Hearing Examiner may recommend that the City Council approve the change of the zone classification. MINUTES The following minutes are a summary of the Tuesday, February 4,2003 hearing. The legal record is recorded on tape. The hearing opened on Tuesday,February 4,2003,at 9:01 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the Renton City Hall. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit No. 1: Yellow land use file,LUA-02- Exhibit No.2: Vicinity Map 149,R,ECF,containing the original application,proof of posting,proof of publication and other documentation pertinent to this request.

The project is a proposed rezone of approximately 21 acres of land, half of which is currently being developed for a Fry's Electronics retail store. She noted that approximately half of the property (the southern half)to the west abutting the subject property,on the west side of Garden Avenue North,has been rezoned to Center Office(CO)designation. (This was corrected subsequent to the hearing. The property is currently zoned IH) The purpose of the rezone is due to much transition in this area. It is located in North Renton and is an area that has traditionally been used for industrial purposes. Not only was there the previously noted rezone, there was a subdivision of the property that abuts the subject property. The subdivision occurred in 2002 and divided a single parcel into four parcels presumably for the purpose of redevelopment. Subsequent to that subdivision,the southern most parcel of the four was rezoned to Center Office Zone. The property located to the north of the subject site is zoned COR and is currently being redeveloped for a variety of mixed uses. There is much redevelopment in this area. There is currently a moratorium on all of the property in the City that is zoned Heavy Industrial(IH). The moratorium was put into place for several reasons. The City has the desire to look at these properties and ensure that they are developed in a way that meets the City's vision. The City's vision at present time(based on policies that are in transition)is that this property no longer be used for industrial uses. The City is supportive of continuing industrial uses by the businesses that are there but the polices currently being formulated to support a transition from those heavy industrial uses to uses that are more compatible with the designation of Urban Center. The City designated this area as part of its Urban Center when the current Comprehensive Plan was developed. The area meets the countywide planning policies for urban centers. Industrial uses are not compatible with those projected uses. The purpose of the six- month moratorium is to look at parcels on an individual basis and decide if they should remain industrial. In response to questioning from the Examiner,Ms. Higgins replied that staff does not believe rezoning this site is premature. Although they do see residential coming into this area the policies do not allow or would not direct residential development on the eastside of Park Avenue. City policies direct future residential development to the west side of Park Avenue so there would be no residential development anywhere east of Park Avenue. There is a simultaneous code amendment that is being processed. Unfortunately, it did not go to a public hearing prior to this hearing. The code amendment would add notes to the COR-3 zone that would limit the development of this particular property should it be successfully rezoned and would include big box retail which the COR-3 does not currently allow that would ensure the viability of the Fry's Electronics which is a big box retail facility and it would also allow development of the north portion of the property to big box retail. There is currently a negotiation in progress between Fry's and another retailer for development of the north portion of the parcel. It would also limit residential development so that it could not occur east of Garden Avenue North, north of North 8th Street or south of Lake Washington Boulevard. The railroad tracks abut the site on the east. There are some utility crossings but no access from that side. They did anticipate that someone may try to put residential on this property but the notes in the development standards would not allow it in this area. There is a COR 1 and a COR 2. COR 1 is the Port Quendall site and Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13,2003 Page 3 COR 2 is the Stoneway site along the Cedar River. They do anticipate the development of COR 4, COR 5,and COR 6 in the other Boeing property areas. This rezone is consistent with potential future rezones in this area. Staff feels that circumstances have changed since the last review took place. This area has not been looked at for other uses other than heavy industrial since the last round of analysis except for the abutting property to the west. That analysis will be taking place on the rest of the property within the next six months. The reason for the rezone is that negotiations between Fry's and another retailer were fairly well along when the moratorium was put in place and staff felt it would be unfair impose a restriction on development of that property for what they felt would probably be an inappropriate use due to concerns with the rest of the industrial zoned property in the area. Ms. Higgins stated that staff recommends approval of the rezone. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 9:30 a.m. FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS &RECOMMENDATION Having reviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant,City of Renton,filed a request for approval of reclassification of property from IH(Heavy Industrial)to COR3 (Center/Office/Residential 3). 2. The yellow file containing the staff report,the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit#1. 3. The Environmental Review Committee(ERC),the City's responsible official, issued a Declaration of Non- Significance(DNS)for the subject proposal. 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. 5. The property is located on the east side of Garden Avenue North between North eon the south and North Park on the north. The subject site is located on the east side of the Boeing Complex and was at one time owned by Boeing. 6. The subject site is an irregular trapezoidal shaped parcel that cants to the west at its north end. The property is approximately 21.3 acres. 7. The parcel is approximately 500 feet wide(east to west)by approximately 1,900 feet long. The parcel is comprised of one legal lot. 8. The parcel was used as a parking lot in the past,but has been abandoned. The site is generally level. 9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 1793 enacted in September 1959. 10. The site received its current IH zoning in June 1993 when the City reorganized its zoning categories. 11. The Comprehensive Plan for this area of the City was adopted in February 1995. The map element of the Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13, 2003 Page 4 Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for Employment Area- Transition. Staff noted that the Comprehensive Plan designation would permit the proposed COR3 Zoning District. 12. Staff also noted that a Text Amendment to the Zoning Code would expand the permitted uses to include "big box" retail uses. A Comprehensive Plan policy would restrict residential uses east of Garden Avenue North but that policy has not been reduced to restrictions on the COR 3 Zone in this area. 13. The City imposed a development moratorium on properties zoned IH in order to identify new goals for areas of the City zoned IH. The City is reviewing its goals and objectives for these various areas while preserving the industrial uses that currently exist. 14. Prior to the development moratorium, Fry's Electronics purchased the property and applied for permits to construct a large retail store on the south 12 acres of the subject site. The building proposed is considered "big box" retail. The proposed use would be permitted in the COR3 zone and due to vesting may be developed in spite of the moratorium. 15. Property to the northwest,the Southport development,was reclassified to COR 3 in 1999. 16. Apparently,the owner of the subject site, Fry's,the developer of the south half of the subject site, is in negotiations to sell the property to another retailer. The City did not want to hamper that sale prospect and has proposed reclassifying both sites to allow redevelopment. The City has analyzed the proposed uses and the Comprehensive Plan for the area. It has recommended that the rezone is compatible with the City's goals and the Comprehensive Plan designation. Conclusions: 1. The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest,that it will not impair the public health,safety and welfare and in addition,complies with the criteria found in Section 4-9-180, which provides in part that: D. AUTHORITY FOR REZONES NOT REQUIRING PLAN AMENDMENT: In those instances where there is a rezone request,which does not require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan, the processing of the rezone application shall be submitted to the administration. The applicant will have the burden and duty of applying for and pursuing the rezone. The rezone hearing shall be held before the Hearing Examiner under the procedures and rules of the Hearing Examiner. (Ord. 4437,2-21-1994) F. DECISION CRITERIA FOR CHANGE OF ZONE CLASSIFICATION: 1. Criteria for Rezones Requiring a Comprehensive Plan Amendment: The Reviewing Official shall find that: a. The proposed amendment meets the review criteria in RMC 4-9-020G; and b. The property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the polices set forth in the Comprehensive Plan; and Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13, 2003 Page 5 c. At least one of the following circumstances applies: i. The subject reclassification was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning; or ii. Since the most recent land use analysis or the area zoning of the subject property, authorized public improvements,permitted private development or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. 2. Criteria for Rezones Not Requiring Plan Amendment: The Reviewing Official shall make the following findings: a. The rezone is in the public interest,and b. The rezone tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights of the petitioner,and c. The rezone is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity thereof, and d. The rezone meets the review criteria in subsections F1 b and F I c of this Section. (Amd. Ord. 4794,9-20-1999) The requested classification is justified and should be approved by the City Council. 2. The proposal is in the public interest by extending the area in which urban public services serving the general public could be permitted. The heavy industrial zone does not cater to the general shopping public. The site is just north of the City's urban core and the COR 3 zoning would permit development of supportive retail uses. In addition,unlike the immediate downtown area,the site and surrounding sites are large parcels of property,which can reasonably support"big box"retail uses. Retail use would also increase the job base of the area and City. The prior parking use did not create jobs. 3. The COR 3 zoning will provide the property owner a wide range of permissible uses including their proposed retail use. The range of uses is much broader than the industrial uses now permitted on the subject site. This would appear to serve the rights of the property owner. The property owner did not in any way object to the City's rezone petition. 4. The rezone does not appear to cause any harm to the public welfare or adjacent property. The range of possible uses is much less intense in the COR 3 zone than in the heavy industrial zone. The one possible negative aspect would be the fact that the COR 3 zone would permit residential uses. These uses might be incompatible with the adjacent heavy industrial uses. While a Comprehensive Plan policy suggests that residential uses not be established east of Park Avenue,there is no codification that would limit that type of use. The City Council might want to consider limiting the use of the subject site to commercial endeavors. 5. In addition, COR 3 zoning was not considered the last time the subject site underwent zoning analysis and the area is definitely one in transition. The Boeing Company has been moving its plant and parking area west and contracting the acreage dedicated to industrial processes and the supportive parking. In addition, the Southport development supplanted the Shuffleton power plant. 6. In conclusion,the proposed rezone appears to reasonably comply with the objectives and goals of the Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13, 2003 Page 6 Comprehensive Plan while leading further transition away from industrial uses so close to the downtown core. Recommendation: The City Council should approve the request to reclassify the subject site from IH to COR 3 subject to the finalization of Ordinance 5001. The City Council might consider limiting the use of the subject site to commercial and retail uses since development of residential uses adjacent to the existing heavy industrial Boeing complex might be incompatible.

Warren, City Attorney Larry Meckling,Building Official Transportation Systems Division Jay Covington, Chief Administrative Officer Utilities System Division Councilperson Kathy Keolker-Wheeler South County Journal Alex Pietsch,Econ. Dev.Director Pursuant to Title IV,Chapter 8, Section 100G of the City's Code, request for reconsideration must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 p.m.,February 27,2003. Any aggrieved person feeling that the decision of the Examiner is ambiguous or based on erroneous procedure,errors of law or fact,error in judgment, or the discovery of new evidence which could not be reasonably available at the prior hearing may make a written request for a review by the Examiner within fourteen(14)days from the date of the Examiner's decision. This Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13,2003 Page 7 request shall set forth the specific ambiguities or errors discovered by such appellant,and the Examiner may, after review of the record,take further action, as he deems proper. An appeal to the City Council is governed by Title IV,Chapter 8, Section 110,which requires that such appeal be filed with the City Clerk,accompanying a filing fee of$75.00 and meeting other specified requirements. Copies of this ordinance are available for inspection or purchase in the Finance Department, first floor of City Hall. If the Examiner's Recommendation or Decision contains the requirement for Restrictive Covenants,the executed Covenants will be required prior to approval by City Council or final processing of the file. You may contact this office for information on formatting covenants. The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte(private one-on-one)communications may occur concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council. All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court. The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as Appeals to the City Council. 1 I I ' I : Logan Ave. N ► • '81 . o �►i, ; j R4- b ' , --a i iR-41o1 •! 1 I `�,\` J] h; p �.

MINUTES The following minutes are a summary of the Tuesday, February 4, 2003 hearing. The legal record is recorded on tape. The hearing opened on Tuesday, February 4,2003,at 9:01 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the Renton City Hall. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit No. 1: Yellow land use file,LUA-02- Exhibit No.2: Vicinity Map 149,R,ECF,containing the original application,proof of posting,proof of publication and other documentation pertinent to this request. Exhibit No.3: Proposed Rezone Area Exhibit No.4a: Aerial Photo of Property with Zoning Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF 1I February 13,2003 Page 2 Exhibit No.4b: Aerial Photo with Parcel Lines Exhibit No.4c: Close-up Photo of Subject Site Exhibit No. 5: Existing Conditions Map Exhibit No. 6: Fry's Site Plan Exhibit No.7: Correct Zoning of Property to the Exhibit No.8: Code Amendments West(Subsequently Modified) Elizabeth Higgins, Senior Planner, Economic Development Division, 1055 S Grady Way,Renton, WA 98055 presented the staff report. The project is a proposed rezone of approximately 21 acres of land,half of which is currently being developed for a Fry's Electronics retail store. She noted that approximately half of the property (the southern half)to the west abutting the subject property,on the west side of Garden Avenue North, has been rezoned to Center Office(CO)designation. (This was corrected subsequent to the hearing. The property is currently zoned IH) The purpose of the rezone is due to much transition in this area. It is located in North Renton and is an area that has traditionally been used for industrial purposes. Not only was there the previously noted rezone,there was a subdivision of the property that abuts the subject property. The subdivision occurred in 2002 and divided a single parcel into four parcels presumably for the purpose of redevelopment. Subsequent to that subdivision,the southern most parcel of the four was rezoned to Center Office Zone. The property located to the north of the subject site is zoned COR and is currently being redeveloped for a variety of mixed uses. There is much redevelopment in this area. There is currently a moratorium on all of the property in the City that is zoned Heavy Industrial(IH). The moratorium was put into place for several reasons. The City has the desire to look at these properties and ensure that they are developed in a way that meets the City's vision. The City's vision at present time(based on policies that are in transition)is that this property no longer be used for industrial uses. The City is supportive of continuing industrial uses by the businesses that are there but the polices currently being formulated to support a transition from those heavy industrial uses to uses that are more compatible with the designation of Urban Center. The City designated this area as part of its Urban Center when the current Comprehensive Plan was developed. The area meets the countywide planning policies for urban centers. Industrial uses are not compatible with those projected uses. The purpose of the six- month moratorium is to look at parcels on an individual basis and decide if they should remain industrial. In response to questioning from the Examiner,Ms. Higgins replied that staff does not believe rezoning this site is premature. Although they do see residential coming into this area the policies do not allow or would not direct residential development on the eastside of Park Avenue. City policies direct future residential development to the west side of Park Avenue so there would be no residential development anywhere east of Park Avenue. There is a simultaneous code amendment that is being processed. Unfortunately, it did not go to a public hearing prior to this hearing. The code amendment would add notes to the COR-3 zone that would limit the development of this particular property should it be successfully rezoned and would include big box retail which the COR-3 does not currently allow that would ensure the viability of the Fry's Electronics which is a big box retail facility and it would also allow development of the north portion of the property to big box retail. There is currently a negotiation in progress between Fry's and another retailer for development of the north portion of the parcel. It would also limit residential development so that it could not occur east of Garden Avenue North,north of North 8th Street or south of Lake Washington Boulevard. The railroad tracks abut the site on the east. There are some utility crossings but no access from that side. They did anticipate that someone may try to put residential on this property but the notes in the development standards would not allow it in this area. There is a COR 1 and a COR 2. COR 1 is the Port Quendall site and Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13,2003 Page 3 COR 2 is the Stoneway site along the Cedar River. They do anticipate the development of COR 4,COR 5,and COR 6 in the other Boeing property areas. This rezone is consistent with potential future rezones in this area. Staff feels that circumstances have changed since the last review took place. This area has not been looked at for other uses other than heavy industrial since the last round of analysis except for the abutting property to the west. That analysis will be taking place on the rest of the property within the next six months. The reason for the rezone is that negotiations between Fry's and another retailer were fairly well along when the moratorium was put in place and staff felt it would be unfair impose a restriction on development of that property for what N they felt would probably be an inappropriate use due to concerns with the rest of the industrial zoned property in the area. Ms. Higgins stated that staff recommends approval of the rezone. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak,and no further comments from staff The hearing closed at 9:30 a.m. FINDINGS,CONCLUSIONS&RECOMMENDATION Havingreviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following: g: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant,City of Renton,filed a request for approval of reclassification of property from IH(Heavy Industrial)to COR3 (Center/Office/Residential 3). 2. The yellow file containing the staff report,the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit#1. 3. The Environmental Review Committee(ERC),the City's responsible official, issued a Declaration of Non- Significance(DNS)for the subject proposal. 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. 5. The property is located on the east side of Garden Avenue North between North 8th on the south and North Park on the north. The subject site is located on the east side of the Boeing Complex and was at one time owned by Boeing. 6. The subject site is an irregular trapezoidal shaped parcel that cants to the west at its north end. The property is approximately 21.3 acres. 7. The parcel is approximately 500 feet wide(east to west)by approximately 1,900 feet long. The parcel is comprised of one legal lot. 8. The parcel was used as a parking lot in the past,but has been abandoned. The site is generally level. 9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 1793 enacted in September 1959. 10. The site received its current IH zoning in June 1993 when the City reorganized its zoning categories. 11. The Comprehensive Plan for this area of the City was adopted in February 1995. The map element of the Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13, 2003 Page 4 Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for Employment Area-Transition. Staff noted that the Comprehensive Plan designation would permit the proposed COR3 Zoning District. 12. Staff also noted that a Text Amendment to the Zoning Code would expand the permitted uses to include "big box" retail uses. A Comprehensive Plan policy would restrict residential uses east of Garden Avenue North but that policy has not been reduced to restrictions on the COR 3 Zone in this area. 13. The City imposed a development moratorium on properties zoned IH in order to identify new goals for areas of the City zoned IH. The City is reviewing its goals and objectives for these various areas while preserving the industrial uses that currently exist. 14. Prior to the development moratorium,Fry's Electronics purchased the property and applied for permits to construct a large retail store on the south 12 acres of the subject site. The building proposed is considered "big box" retail. The proposed use would be permitted in the COR3 zone and due to vesting may be developed in spite of the moratorium. 15. Property to the northwest,the Southport development,was reclassified to COR 3 in 1999. 16. Apparently,the owner of the subject site,Fry's,the developer of the south half of the subject site, is in negotiations to sell the property to another retailer. The City did not want to hamper that sale prospect and has proposed reclassifying both sites to allow redevelopment. The City has analyzed the proposed uses and the Comprehensive Plan for the area. It has recommended that the rezone is compatible with the City's goals and the Comprehensive Plan designation. Conclusions: 1. The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest,that it will not impair the public health, safety and welfare and in addition,complies with the criteria found in Section 4-9-180, • which provides in part that: D. AUTHORITY FOR REZONES NOT REQUIRING PLAN AMENDMENT: In those instances where there is a rezone request,which does not require an amendment to the • Comprehensive Plan,the processing of the rezone application shall be submitted to the administration. The applicant will have the burden and duty of applying for and pursuing the rezone. The rezone hearing shall be held before the Hearing Examiner under the procedures and rules of the Hearing Examiner. (Ord.4437,2-21-1994) F. DECISION CRITERIA FOR CHANGE OF ZONE CLASSIFICATION: 1. Criteria for Rezones Requiring a Comprehensive Plan Amendment: The Reviewing Official shall find that: a. The proposed amendment meets the review criteria in RMC 4-9-020G; and b. The property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the polices set forth in the Comprehensive Plan;and Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF iF February 13,2003 Page 5 c. At least one of the following circumstances applies: i. The subject reclassification was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning; or ii. Since the most recent land use analysis or the area zoning of the subject property, authorized public improvements,permitted private development or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. 2. Criteria for Rezones Not Requiring Plan Amendment: The Reviewing Official shall make the following findings: a. The rezone is in the public interest,and b. The rezone tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights of the petitioner,and c. The rezone is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity thereof,and d. The rezone meets the review criteria in subsections F lb and F 1 c of this Section. (Amd. Ord. 4794, 9-20-1999) The requested classification is justified and should be approved by the City Council. 2. The proposal is in the public interest by extending the area in which urban public services serving the general public could be permitted. The heavy industrial zone does not cater to the general shopping public. The site is just north of the City's urban core and the COR 3 zoning would permit development of supportive retail uses. In addition,unlike the immediate downtown area,the site and surrounding sites are large parcels of property,which can reasonably support"big box"retail uses. Retail use would also increase the job base of the area and City. The prior parking use did not create jobs. 3. The COR 3 zoning will provide the property owner a wide range of permissible uses including their proposed retail use. The range of uses is much broader than the industrial uses now permitted on the subject site. This would appear to serve the rights of the property owner. The property owner did not in any way object to the City's rezone petition. 4. The rezone does not appear to cause any harm to the public welfare or adjacent property. The range of possible uses is much less intense in the COR 3 zone than in the heavy industrial zone. The one possible negative aspect would be the fact that the COR 3 zone would permit residential uses. These uses might be incompatible with the adjacent heavy industrial uses. While a Comprehensive Plan policy suggests that residential uses not be established east of Park Avenue,there is no codification that would limit that type of use. The City Council might want to consider limiting the use of the subject site to commercial endeavors. 5. In addition,COR 3 zoning was not considered the last time the subject site underwent zoning analysis and the area is definitely one in transition. The Boeing Company has been moving its plant and parking area west and contracting the acreage dedicated to industrial processes and the supportive parking. In addition, the Southport development supplanted the Shuffleton power plant. 6. In conclusion,the proposed rezone appears to reasonably comply with the objectives and goals of the Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13,2003 Page 6 Comprehensive Plan while leading further transition away from industrial uses so close to the downtown core. Recommendation: The City Council should approve the request to reclassify the subject site from IH to COR 3 subject to the finalization of Ordinance 5001. The City Council might consider limiting the use of the subject site to commercial and retail uses since development of residential uses adjacent to the existing heavy industrial Boeing complex might be incompatible.

Any aggrieved person feeling that the decision of the Examiner is ambiguous or based on erroneous procedure,errors of law or fact, error in judgment,or the discovery of new evidence which could not be reasonably available at the prior hearing may make a written request for a review by the Examiner within fourteen(14)days from the date of the Examiner's decision. This Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13, 2003 Page 7 request shall set forth the specific ambiguities or errors discovered by such appellant, and the Examiner may, after review of the record,take further action,as he deems proper. An appeal to the City Council is governed by Title IV,Chapter 8, Section 110,which requires that such appeal be filed with the City Clerk, accompanying a filing fee of$75.00 and meeting other specified requirements. Copies of this ordinance are available for inspection or purchase in the Finance Department, first floor of City Hall. If the Examiner's Recommendation or Decision contains the requirement for Restrictive Covenants,the executed Covenants will be required prior to approval by City Council or final processing of the file. You may contact this office for information on formatting covenants. The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte(private one-on-one)communications may occur concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council. All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court. The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as Appeals to the City Council. • I Mb ILogan Ave. N I I/ • RT il� ICI .. ,0 ' C ' � � tv !-Rya- • - L � ..,.. - D SI,4 "I I'' ' }}4 I kW I I i I -1 R-10 n \ // ' 1-2 CA i !

This memorandum should clarify these issues. If you have additional comments, however, please do not hesitate to contact me. Zoning of property abutting on the west: The property was rezoned from"Center Office" (CO)to "Heavy Industrial" (IH),not the other way around. I misspoke when I speculated that the exhibit maps were incorrect. They properly indicate the zoning to the west as IH. COR code amendments: The proposed code amendments are attached. I believe they should be entered into the file as Exhibit 8. Limitation on COR uses at this location: The Center Office Residential code amendments would result in "big box"retail being allowed on the Fry's property, if the rezone is approved. The proposed code amendments would not limit development of the Fry's property for residential uses. The specific limitation on development in the proposed code amendments would only limit big box retail,not residential, to the area "east of Garden Avenue N and north of NE 8th Street." The rezone, however, from IH to COR would allow the City to require site plan review for future projects proposed on the Fry's property. In addition, because current policy does not allow residential development east of Park Avenue, staff would not recommend approval of a residential project on the Fry's property. Status of COR 3 code amendments: The City Council completed first and second readings of the proposed code amendments on Monday,February 10, 2003. They will become effective on February 21, 2003. cc: Rebecca Lind 11 H:\EDNSP\Projects\Urban Center-Transition\Fry's rezone HEX memo.doc I I CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DATE: December 30, 2002 TO: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler,President City Council Members VIA: Mayor Jesse Tanner FROM: Alex Pietsch, Acting Administrator W14) Economic Development, Neighborhoods, and Strategic Planning Department STAFF CONTACT: Elizabeth Higgins (6576) SUBJECT: Center/Office/Residential Zone Code Amendment ISSUE: Amend code to allow big-box retail in the Center/Office/Residential 3 Zone, east of Garden Avenue North. RECOMMENDATION: • Refer to Planning Commission and Planning and Development Committee BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Center/Office/Residential is an implementing zone within the Center/Office/Residential and Employment Area—Transition (Interim) Comprehensive Plan designations. The proposed rezone would be consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan policies: Policy LU-212. 31 Uses should be selected from the range of uses allowed in the existing CA Zone to encourage a group of activities that are synergistic with office, biotech, research, technology, and residential. Strip commercial, veterinary, kennels, adult entertainment, outdoor storage, contractors' services, and convalescent centers are examples of uses discouraged under this designation. Traditional retail (Main Street), general business and professional services, and H:\EDNSP\Council\Issue Papers-Agenda Bills-Ctte Reports\2003\COR 3 code amendment.docLast printed 12/31/2002 9:27 AM December 31, 2002 Page 2 general offices are examples of the types of uses that are encouraged under this designation. Disallow the following uses: vehicle sales and service including automobiles, RVs, boats, truck and motorcycles. Policy LU-212.36 Changes in zoning from industrial to another zone should achieve a mix of uses that improves the City's economic base and employment base. Factors such as increasing the City's tax base, improving efficiency in the use of the land, and the ability of a proposed land use to mitigate potential adverse impacts should be taken into account. The proposed code amendment would result in a modification of the uses allowed in the Center/Office/Residential 3 (COR 3)Zone. The proposed code amendment would allow "big- box retail" to be developed in the Center/Office/Residential 3 zone in a location delineated as "east of Garden Avenue North." Currently,big-box retail is allowed in Light,Medium, and Heavy Industrial zones and in Commercial Arterial zones. Big-box retail is defined in RMC Title IV as: A single indoor retail or wholesale user who occupies no less than seventy five thousand(75,000) square feet of gross floor area,typically requires high parking to building area ratios, and has a regional sales market. Big-box retail/wholesale sales can include, but are not limited to,membership warehouse clubs that emphasize bulk sales, discount stores, and department stores. This definition does not include auto sales, outdoor retail sales, and adult retail uses. The COR 3 Zone is the property commonly known as the Southport site. The proposed code amendment would expand the COR 3 to include the property commonly known as the Fry's site. The area would be further delineated as being located, "east of Garden Avenue North." The south portion of the Fry's site is currently being developed for big-box retail use. Fry's Electronics will be a one-story, 151,200 square foot retail building with surface parking for 900 vehicles. CONCLUSION: This code amendment is being requested to allow big-box retail in an area of the City of Renton deemed suitable for this type of use,based on available infrastructure, visibility from high- volume transportation corridors, and need. COR CODE AMENDMENT The proposed code amendment would result in a modification of the uses allowed in the Center/Office/Residential 3 Zone. The following revisions are necessary: RMC 4-2-020.O.2.c: COR 3 is applied to the property commonly known as the Southport Site. To be revised thusly: RMC 4-2-020.O.2.c: COR 3 is applied to the properties commonly known as the Southport and Fry's sites.

APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE RENTON MUNICIPAL CODE: 1. RMC 4-9-180 Rezone Process F. APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: 1. Land Use Element, Objective LU-EE.e G. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS: (A) PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND The land use action requested is a rezone of property from Heavy Industrial (IH) to Center/Office/Residential 3 (COR 3). The Comprehensive Plan designation for the property is Employment Area—Transition (Interim). Because COR is an implementing zone under the EA-T designation, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is not required. This request is for a rezone from IH to COR 3 only. The COR zone is intended to provide for a mix of intensive uses. COR 3 allows multi-family residential, office, and commercial development. Although "big-box" retail has not been an allowed use in the COR zone, a simultaneous code amendment was requested that would add this use to the COR 3 zone, east of Garden Avenue N and north of N 8th Street. Any of the other COR 3 allowable uses may be acceptable on the property. The COR zones have also been designated as "gateways" to the City and are intended to be designed accordingly. The position of the subject property, in relation to Interstate 405, makes it a gateway location. A nearby project, Southport, was rezoned COR 3 in 1999. Staff believes an extension of the COR 3 zone to include this land would be consistent with the objectives and goals of the Comprehensive Plan designation. Development of the subject property to the same standards of Southport would be appropriate in this location, but not expected in the near future. Rather, the purpose of this rezone request is to allow development of the remainder of the subject property to a use similar to that occurring on the southern half of the property at the present time. That is, "big box" retail. Currently, a moratorium on development of land zoned heavy industrial is in effect in the City. Because the subject property is zoned IH, it cannot be developed for anv use until mid-2003, or as long as the moratorium is in effect. This situation causes a potential hardship on the property owner who is in the process of selling the property. In addition, the nature of the area, formerly used for industrial purposes, is changing. This was recognized when a previous Comprehensive Plan amendment was enacted, creating the Employment Area— Transition land Fry's rezone Hexreport.doc City of Renton EDNSP Department iminary Report to the Hearing Examiner FRY'S REZONE LUA-02-149, ECF, R PUBLIC HEARING DATE: FEBRUARY 4,2003 Page 5 of 7 use designation and applying it to the subject property. The suffix "Interim" further indicates that the area is transitioning to other uses. Currently, projects developed in the IH zone (accept in the Valley) are exempt from Site Plan Review and Approval. If the rezone request is approved, Site Plan Review would be required for future project approval. 2. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21 C, 1971 as amended), on January 14, 2003 the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS). The appeal period ended on February 3, 2003. No appeals to the threshold determination have been filed as of the date of this report. 3. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW COMMITTEE MITIGATION MEASURES Based on an analysis of probable impacts from the proposed project, the Environmental Review Committee determined that no mitigation measures would be required. 4. STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address site plan issues from the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the Departmental Recommendation at the end of the report. 5. CONSISTENCY WITH REZONE CRITERIA The Reviewing Official shall have authority to grant a rezone upon making a determination, in writing, that the conditions specified below have been found to exist (RMC 4-9-180). 4-9-180.D. Authority for Rezones Not Requiring a Plan Amendment: Center/Office/Residential (COR) is an implementing zone in the Employment Area — Transition designation as per LU-EE.e and, therefore, does not require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment 4-9-180.F. Decision Criteria for Change of Zone Classification: a. Criteria for Rezones Not Requiring Plan Amendment: The Reviewing Official [Hearing Examiner] shall make the following findings: i. The rezone is in the public interest: Fry's rezone Hexreport.doc City of Renton EDNSP Department iminary Report to the Hearing Examiner FRY'S REZONE LUA-02-149, ECF, R PUBLIC HEARING DATE: FEBRUARY 4,2003 Page 6 of 7 The area for which the rezone has been requested is immediately adjacent to the City of Renton's Urban Center. The Urban Center designation meets the criteria of the Countywide Planning Policies as the area of the City in which the majority of the forecasted population growth to the year 2030 will be directed. In order for housing to be developed in this area, a rezone from Heavy Industrial (IH) to a zone that would have fewer significant impacts on residential uses is necessary. Therefore, this rezone is in the long-term public interest. ii. The rezone tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights of the petitioner [property owner]: Industrial uses would not be permitted following the rezone from IH to COR. The COR designation, however, offers a broad range of allowable uses, such as retail, thereby preserving the substantial existing property rights of the property owner(s). The wide range of allowable uses would enhance market acceptability considerably so that enjoyment of future property rights would not be impaired. iii. The rezone is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity thereof: The proposed rezone is not detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity because the uses allowed by the rezone to COR would have fewer potential negative impacts and mitigation would probably be more feasible than those potentially resulting from uses now allowed by the IH zoning. iv. The rezone meets the review criteria in subsections of F1 b and F1 c of this section: F.1.b. The property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan: The area of the proposed rezone is classified for COR zoning in the following existing Comprehensive Plan objective: Objective LU-EE.e: Provide flexibility in the regulatory processes by allowing for a variety of zone designations in the Employment Area — Transition (Interim) designation. Zones which implement the Employment Area — Transition (Interim) include Heavy Industrial (IH), Light Industrial (IL), Commercial Office (CO), Center Downtown (CD), and Commercial-Office-Residential [sic] (COR). F.1 .c. At least one of the following circumstances applies: a. The subject classification was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning, Fry's rezone Hexreport.doc City of Renton EDNSP Department . ._.iminary Report to the Hearing Examiner FRY'S REZONE LUA-02-149, ECF, R PUBLIC HEARING DATE: FEBRUARY 4,2003 Page 7 of 7 The COR Zone was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning. b. Since the most recent land use analysis or the area zoning of the subject property, authorized public improvements, permitted private development or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. Since the most recent land use analysis of this area and area zoning, it has been designated "Urban Center." Continued heavy industrial uses may produce negative impacts that could be detrimental to typical Urban Center uses. The COR zoning that has been proposed would have fewer impacts that would be incompatible with Urban Center uses, yet value of the land would be retained or enhanced by the proposed rezone. The potential rezone supports City policies adopted to meet the requirements of the Growth Management Act. H.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A CONSENT AGENDA, THERE WILL NOT BE A MEETING Fry's Rezone (Higgins) LUA-02-149,ECF,R Rezone of approximately 21.37 acres of land designated Employment Area—Transition (Interim)from Heavy Industrial to Center/Office/Residential 3. Location: east of Garden Ave. N. and north of 8th St. Falk Annexation and Prezone (Erickson) LUA-02-019,ECF,A,R The applicant, Steve Beck, has requested Environmental Review for the proposed rezoning of this 5.96 acre annexation site (excluding streets) from King County's R-1 Zone to Renton's R-8 Zone. The current site is the northern section of the previously proposed original Falk Annexation of 13.66 acres. Because annexations are SEPA exempt (RCW 43.21C.222) this environmental review is only for the rezone. Under Renton's R-8 zoning the + 6.43 acre site (including street right-of- way) could theoretically accommodate approximately 46 dwelling units, assuming 8 du/net acre. Because of steep slopes on a portion of the site the actual number of units allowed may be less than 46 units. The proposed rezone is consistent with Renton's Residential Single Family land use designation, as shown on the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Location: The 6.43 acre site is located to the west of 102nd Avenue SE in King County and south of S 47th Street in Renton. The City of Renton abuts the subject site on its north and west. Retaining Wall for Olympic Pipeline (Jordan) LUA-02-135,ECF The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review in order to construct a 175-foot long retaining wall with varying heights (maximum of 13 feet above grade). The retaining wall is intended to stabilize the adjacent hillside so that pipeline personnel can access the pipeline and inspect and/or make any necessary repairs to the pipeline. The project area is estimated to be approximately 12,400 square feet. The applicant is proposing to make the retaining wall a permanent structure so that future inspections will be more readily accessible. The retaining wall is proposed to be located on Puget Sound Energy property, within an Olympic Pipeline easement. Project construction is planned to begin in spring of 2003 and be completed within an estimated time frame of five weeks. Location: 1600 South Eagle Ridge Drive. cc: J.Tanner, Mayor J.

The area of the proposed rezone is the former Boeing Lot 6, site of a Fry's Electronics retail building which is currently under construction. The Fry's project covers approximately 12 acres of the 21 acre parcel. It is anticipated that the remaining portion of the property would be developed for commercial uses following the rezone. No development permit is being submitted at the present time however. The requested rezone is from Heavy Industrial to Center/Office/Residential - 5 within the Employment Area—Transition (Interim) designation. Center/Office/Residential (COR)is an implementing zone within the Employment Area— Transition (Interim) (EA-T) designation and, therefore, would not require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

The rezone is in the public interest: peja-GpmE R�ON 114G The area for which the rezone has been requested is immediately Or adjacent to the City of Renton's Urban Center. The Urban Center DEC 2t 2002 designation meets the criteria of the Countywide Planning Policies as the area of the City in which the majority of the forecasted population *come' growth to the year 2030 will be directed. In order for housing to be developed in this are, a rezone from Heavy Industrial(IH) to a zone that would have fewer significant impacts on residential uses is necessary. Therefore, this rezone is in the long-term public interest. b. The rezone tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights of the petitioner [property owner]: Industrial uses would not be permitted following the rezone from IH to COR. The COR designation, however, offers a broad range of allowable uses, such as retail, thereby preserving the substantial existing property rights of the property owner(s). The wide range of allowable uses would enhance market acceptability considerably so that enjoyment of future property rights would not be impaired. c. The rezone is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity thereof: The proposed rezone is not detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity because the uses allowed by the rezone to COR would have fewer potential negative impacts and mitigation would probably be more feasible than those potentially resulting from uses now allowed by the IH zoning. H:\EDNSP\Projects\Boeing P1ant\RezonaIH to COR rezone criteria(lot 6).docLast printed 12/23/2002 1:48 PM d. The rezone meets the review criteria in subsections of Flb and Flc of this section: F.l.b. The property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan: The area of the proposed rezone is classified for COR zoning in the following existing Comprehensive Plan objective: Objective LU-EE.e: Provide flexibility in the regulatory processes by allowing for a variety of zone designations in the Employment Area—Transition (Interim) designation. Zones which implement the Employment Area—Transition (Interim) include Heavy Industrial (IH), Light Industrial (IL), Commercial Office (CO), Center Downtown (CD), and Commercial-Office- Residential [sic] (COR). F.1.c. At least one of the following circumstances applies: i. The subject classification was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning, The COR Zone was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning. ii. Since the most recent land use analysis or the area zoning of the subject property, authorized public improvements, permitted private development or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. Since the most recent land use analysis of this area and area zoning, it has been designated "Urban Center." Continued heavy industrial uses may produce negative impacts that could be detrimental to typical Urban Center uses. The COR zoning that has been proposed would have fewer impacts that would be incompatible with Urban Center uses, yet value of the land would be retained or enhanced by the proposed rezone. The potential rezone supports City policies adopted to meet the requirements of the Growth Management Act. -----------------.1_..j/ 1 Logan Ave. N 1 1 1 ' r1 ----2 ----.........._ ipm•• i3 k-10 771.17"1"';---,.,... . , et ,0 ,--io 4 i' ,R7.19' i• *--! i 11101 1 !„ I •--.. .. ,,,, 0../• !

CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMORANDUM DATE: December 23, 2002 TO: Laureen Nicolay, Senior Planner Development Services Division FROM: Elizabeth Higgins, Senior Planner EDNSP SUBJECT: Fry's Rezone This narrative accompanies the Land Use Permit Master Application for the "Fry's Rezone." The area of the proposed rezone is the former Boeing Lot 6, site of a Fry's Electronics retail building which is currently under construction. The Fry's project covers approximately 12 acres of the 21 acre parcel. It is anticipated that the remaining portion of the property would be developed for commercial uses following the rezone. No development permit is being submitted at the present time however. The requested rezone is from Heavy Industrial to Center/Office/Residential -3 within the Employment Area—Transition (Interim) designation. Center/Office/Residential (COR) is an implementing zone within the Employment Area— Transition (Interim) (EA-T) designation and, therefore, would not require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

San Jose, CA 95112 SUBJECT: Fry's Property Rezone, LUA-02-149,ECF,R Dear Ms.Kolder: This letter is sent to inform you that the rezone of the Fry's Electronics property,located on Garden Avenue North in Renton Washington,has been approved by the Renton City Council. The property is now zoned Center/Office/Residential 3(COR 3). The completion of this rezone releases the property from the Heavy Industrial zone development moratorium currently in effect in Renton. The Comprehensive Plan designation for the property remains the same,Employment Area—Transition(Interim). The Center/Office/Residential zone is intended to provide for a mix of intensive uses in a more urban context than traditional industrial areas. COR 3 allows multi-family residential,office,and a wide variety of commercial development. "Big-box"retail was not previously allowed in COR zones,but a simultaneous code amendment was approved that added this use to the COR 3 zone at this location. The other COR 3 uses are allowed on the property,although multi-family residential use has been referred to the City Council's Planning and Development Committee for further discussion. Included with this letter is a list of allowable uses in the Center/Office/Residential zones(although the list has not yet been revised to show big-box retail as an allowed use). The COR zones in Renton have been designated as"gateways"to the City and are intended to be designed accordingly. The position of the Fry's property,in relation to Interstate 405,makes it a gateway location. Site Plan Review will be required for future project approval.We have also included the development standards for the COR 3 zone with this letter. An advantage to developers in this zone is that these standards can be"customized"to meet the particular needs of the end user. We encourage you and future developers of this property to continue working closely with the Economic Development,Neighborhoods, and Strategic Planning Department in this regard.

C:\Documents and Settings\mpetersen\Local Settings\Temp\Fry's Rezone Agenda Bill.doc/ CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS AND STRATEGIC PLANNING MEMORANDUM DATE: March 13, 2003 TO: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler, Council President Members of the Renton City Council VIA: Mayor Jesse Tanner FROM: Alex Pietsch, Administrator ticla STAFF CONTACT: Rebecca Lind SUBJECT: Rezone of 21.37 acres from Heavy Industrial (IH) zone to Center Office Residential 3 (COR3) zone (Fry Property). ISSUE: • Whether to re-zone the 21.37 acres of land designated Employment Area-Transition from Heavy Industrial (IH) zone to Center/Office/Residential 3(COR3) zone. • Whether to allow residential use on this site? RECOMMENDATION: • Hearing Examiner's Recommendation Approve the request to reclassify the subject site from IH to COR3 subject to the finalization of Ordinance 5001. Consider limiting the use of the subject site to commercial and retail uses since development of residential uses adjacent to the existing heavy industrial Boeing complex might be incompatible. • Refer the issue of residential use in the COR 3 zone east of Garden Ave. to the Planning and Development Committee. BACKGROUND SUMMARY: A rezone of the Fry's property was requested in order to change the allowed uses on the site from industrial to office and commercial including big box retail. Industrial uses are no longer considered appropriate for the site given the Comprehensive Plan designation of March 13, 2003 Page 2 Employment Area- Transition. The proposed re-zone is from Heavy Industrial to Center/Office/Residential 3. Earlier this year the Council approved a zoning text amendment adding the "big-box" use east of Garden Ave and north of NE St St. to the COR3 zone (Ordinance 5001). This code change became effective on March 12, 2003. Adding the "big box" retail as a use type in the COR- 3 zone needed to be done prior to rezoning the Fry's property into the COR 3 zoning classification so that the big box retail development now under construction on the site would remain a conforming use. Earlier this month Council lifted the moratorium from properties in the Valley and the portions of the North Renton industrial area along Houser Way. The Fry's property remained in the moratorium because it was still zoned IH. The combined action of adding the "big box" retail use to the COR code and rezoning the property into the COR classification will finally remove the Fry property from the moratorium. The issue of whether residential use should be restricted on this site was reviewed by staff upon receipt of the Hearing Examiner's report. The existing Employment Area-Transition Comprehensive Plan policy LU-212.41 states that consideration should only be given to COR rezones that allow residential uses in the area west of Park Ave. North. This policy is currently under review as part of the Comprehensive Plan Update due in 2004, and as part of the Boeing Comprehensive Plan Amendment process that will consider and evaluate the Employment Area-Transition policies. As the site is currently being developed with big-box retail staff initially was not convinced that residential use is an issue for the area east of Park Ave. However, as the property does have additional redevelopment potential, the Council may want to consider the residential issue further. Under the present COR development standards, garden style apartments could be developed on the site. If the Council wants to limit residential use, an additional zoning text amendment will be required. CONCLUSION: Concur with the Hearing Examiner recommendation for the re-zone but refer the issue of residential use in the COR 3 zone east of Garden Ave. to the Planning and Development Committee for review and recommendation.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Rezone of 21.37 acres of land designated Employment Area— Transition from Heavy Industrial (IH)zone to Center/Office/Residential 3 (COR3)zone. SUMMARY OF ACTION: Development Services Recommendation: Approve DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT: The Development Services Report was received by the Examiner on January 28,2003 PUBLIC HEARING: In accordance with Section 4-8-14(CX2),the Hearing Examiner shall determine if a change of zone classification is advisable,in the public interest,tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights of the petitioner, is not materially detrimental to the public welfare of the properties of other persons located in the vicinity thereof, and is in harmony with the purposes and effect of the Comprehensive Plan. In such event,the Hearing Examiner may recommend that the City Council approve the change of the zone classification. • MINUTES The following minutes are a summary of the Tuesday,February 4,2003 hearing. The legal record is recorded on tape. The hearing opened on Tuesday,February 4,2003,at 9:01 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the Renton City Hall. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit No. 1: Yellow land use file,LUA-02- Exhibit No.2: Vicinity Map 149,R,ECF,containing the original application, proof of posting,proof of publication and other documentation pertinent to this request. Exhibit No.3: Proposed Rezone Area Exhibit No.4a: Aerial Photo of Property with Zoning C l Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13, 2003 Page 2 Exhibit No.4b: Aerial Photo with Parcel Lines Exhibit No.4c: Close-up Photo of Subject Site Exhibit No.5: Existing Conditions Map Exhibit No.6: Fry's Site Plan Exhibit No.7: Correct Zoning of Property to the Exhibit No.8: Code Amendments West(Subsequently Modified) Elizabeth Higgins, Senior Planner,Economic Development Division, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055 presented the staff report. The project is a proposed rezone of approximately 21 acres of land,half of which is currently being developed for a Fry's Electronics retail store. She noted that approximately half of the property (the southern half)to the west abutting the subject property,on the west side of Garden Avenue North,has been rezoned to Center Office(CO)designation. (This was corrected subsequent to the hearing. The property is currently zoned IH) The purpose of the rezone is due to much transition in this area. It is located in North Renton and is an area that has traditionally been used for industrial purposes. Not only was there the previously noted rezone,there was a subdivision of the property that abuts the subject property. The subdivision occurred in 2002 and divided a single parcel into four parcels presumably for the purpose of redevelopment. Subsequent to that subdivision,the southern most parcel of the four was rezoned to Center Office Zone. The property located to the north of the subject site is zoned COR and is currently being redeveloped for a variety of mixed uses. There is much redevelopment in this area. There is currently a moratorium on all of the property in the City that is zoned Heavy Industrial (IH). The moratorium was put into place for several reasons. The City has the desire to look at these properties and ensure that they are developed in a way that meets the City's vision. The City's vision at present time(based on policies that are in transition)is that this property no longer be used for industrial uses. The City is supportive of continuing industrial uses by the businesses that are there but the polices currently being formulated to support a transition from those heavy industrial uses to uses that are more compatible with the designation of Urban Center. The City designated this area as part of its Urban Center when the current Comprehensive Plan was developed. The area meets the countywide planning policies for urban centers. Industrial uses are not compatible with those projected uses. The purpose of the six- month moratorium is to look at parcels on an individual basis and decide if they should remain industrial. In response to questioning from the Examiner,Ms. Higgins replied that staff does not believe rezoning this site is premature. Although they do see residential coming into this area the policies do not allow or would not direct residential development on the eastside of Park Avenue. City policies direct future residential development to the west side of Park Avenue so there would be no residential development anywhere east of Park Avenue. There is a simultaneous code amendment that is being processed. Unfortunately, it did not go to a public hearing prior to this hearing. The code amendment would add notes to the COR-3 zone that would limit the development of this particular property should it be successfully rezoned and would include big box retail which the COR-3 does not currently allow that would ensure the viability of the Fry's Electronics which is a big box retail facility and it would also allow development of the north portion of the property to big box retail. There is currently a negotiation in progress between Fry's and another retailer for development of the north portion of the parcel. It would also limit residential development so that it could not occur east of Garden Avenue North, north of North 8h Street or south of Lake Washington Boulevard. The railroad tracks abut the site on the east. There are some utility crossings but no access from that side. They did anticipate that someone may try to put residential on this property but the notes in the development standards would not allow it in this area. There is a COR 1 and a COR 2. COR I is the Port Quendall site and Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13, 2003 Page 3 COR 2 is the Stoneway site along the Cedar River. They do anticipate the development of COR 4, COR 5,and COR 6 in the other Boeing property areas. This rezone is consistent with potential future rezones in this area. Staff feels that circumstances have changed since the last review took place. This area has not been looked at for other uses other than heavy industrial since the last round of analysis except for the abutting property to the west. That analysis will be taking place on the rest of the property within the next six months. The reason for the rezone is that negotiations between Fry's and another retailer were fairly well along when the moratorium was put in place and staff felt it would be unfair impose a restriction on development of that property for what they felt would probably be an inappropriate use due to concerns with the rest of the industrial zoned property in the area. Ms.Higgins stated that staff recommends approval of the rezone. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak, and no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 9:30 a.m. FINDINGS,CONCLUSIONS &RECOMMENDATION Having reviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant, City of Renton,filed a request for approval of reclassification of property from IH(Heavy Industrial)to COR3 (Center/Office/Residential 3). 2. The yellow file containing the staff report,the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit#1. 3. The Environmental Review Committee(ERC),the City's responsible official, issued a Declaration of Non- Significance(DNS)for the subject proposal. 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. 5. The property is located on the east side of Garden Avenue North between North 8th on the south and North Park on the north. The subject site is located on the east side of the Boeing Complex and was at one time owned by Boeing. 6. The subject site is an irregular trapezoidal shaped parcel that cants to the west at its north end. The property is approximately 21.3 acres. 7. The parcel is approximately 500 feet wide(east to west)by approximately 1,900 feet long. The parcel is comprised of one legal lot. 8. The parcel was used as a parking lot in the past, but has been abandoned. The site is generally level. 9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 1793 enacted in September 1959. 10. The site received its current IH zoning in June 1993 when the City reorganized its zoning categories. 11. The Comprehensive Plan for this area of the City was adopted in February 1995. The map element of the Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13, 2003 Page 4 Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for Employment Area- Transition. Staff noted that the Comprehensive Plan designation would permit the proposed COR3 Zoning District. 12. Staff also noted that a Text Amendment to the Zoning Code would expand the permitted uses to include "big box" retail uses. A Comprehensive Plan policy would restrict residential uses east of Garden Avenue North but that policy has not been reduced to restrictions on the COR 3 Zone in this area. 13. The City imposed a development moratorium on properties zoned IH in order to identify new goals for areas of the City zoned IH. The City is reviewing its goals and objectives for these various areas while preserving the industrial uses that currently exist. 14. Prior to the development moratorium, Fry's Electronics purchased the property and applied for permits to construct a large retail store on the south 12 acres of the subject site. The building proposed is considered "big box" retail. The proposed use would be permitted in the COR3 zone and due to vesting may be developed in spite of the moratorium. 15. Property to the northwest, the Southport development, was reclassified to COR 3 in 1999. 16. Apparently, the owner of the subject site, Fry's,the developer of the south half of the subject site, is in negotiations to sell the property to another retailer. The City did not want to hamper that sale prospect and has proposed reclassifying both sites to allow redevelopment. The City has analyzed the proposed uses and the Comprehensive Plan for the area. It has recommended that the rezone is compatible with the City's goals and the Comprehensive Plan designation. Conclusions: 1. The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest,that it will not impair the public health,safety and welfare and in addition,complies with the criteria found in Section 4-9-180, which provides in part that: D. AUTHORITY FOR REZONES NOT REQUIRING PLAN AMENDMENT: In those instances where there is a rezone request,which does not require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan,the processing of the rezone application shall be submitted to the administration. The applicant will have the burden and duty of applying for and pursuing the rezone. The rezone hearing shall be held before the Hearing Examiner under the procedures and rules of the Hearing Examiner. (Ord. 4437,2-21-1994) F. DECISION CRITERIA FOR CHANGE OF ZONE CLASSIFICATION: 1. Criteria for Rezones Requiring a Comprehensive Plan Amendment: The Reviewing Official shall find that: a. The proposed amendment meets the review criteria in RMC 4-9-020G; and b. The property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the polices set forth in the Comprehensive Plan; and • Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13, 2003 Page 5 c. At least one of the following circumstances applies: i. The subject reclassification was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning; or ii. Since the most recent land use analysis or the area zoning of the subject property, authorized public improvements,permitted private development or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. 2. Criteria for Rezones Not Requiring Plan Amendment: The Reviewing Official shall make the following findings: a. The rezone is in the public interest, and b. The rezone tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights of the petitioner, and c. The rezone is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity thereof, and d. The rezone meets the review criteria in subsections Flb and F 1 c of this Section. (Amd. Ord. 4794,9-20-1999) The requested classification is justified and should be approved by the City Council. 2. The proposal is in the public interest by extending the area in which urban public services serving the general public could be permitted. The heavy industrial zone does not cater to the general shopping public. The site is just north of the City's urban core and the COR 3 zoning would permit development of supportive retail uses. In addition,unlike the immediate downtown area,the site and surrounding sites are large parcels of property,which can reasonably support"big box"retail uses. Retail use would also increase the job base of the area and City. The prior parking use did not create jobs. 3. The COR 3 zoning will provide the property owner a wide range of permissible uses including their proposed retail use. The range of uses is much broader than the industrial uses now permitted on the subject site. This would appear to serve the rights of the property owner. The property owner did not in any way object to the City's rezone petition. 4. The rezone does not appear to cause any harm to the public welfare or adjacent property. The range of possible uses is much less intense in the COR 3 zone than in the heavy industrial zone. The one possible negative aspect would be the fact that the COR 3 zone would permit residential uses. These uses might be incompatible with the adjacent heavy industrial uses. While a Comprehensive Plan policy suggests that residential uses not be established east of Park Avenue,there is no codification that would limit that type of use. The City Council might want to consider limiting the use of the subject site to commercial endeavors. 5. In addition, COR 3 zoning was not considered the last time the subject site underwent zoning analysis and the area is definitely one in transition. The Boeing Company has been moving its plant and parking area west and contracting the acreage dedicated to industrial processes and the supportive parking. In addition, the Southport development supplanted the Shuffleton power plant. 6. In conclusion,the proposed rezone appears to reasonably comply with the objectives and goals of the Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13, 2003 Page 6 Comprehensive Plan while leading further transition away from industrial uses so close to the downtown core. Recommendation: The City Council should approve the request to reclassify the subject site from IH to COR 3 subject to the finalization of Ordinance 5001. The City Council might consider limiting the use of the subject site to commercial and retail uses since development of residential uses adjacent to the existing heavy industrial Boeing complex might be incompatible.

FRED J.KAUFM HEARING EXAMINER TRANSMI 1'i'ED THIS 13th day of February,2003 to the parties of record: Elizabeth Higgins Fry's Electronics 1055 S Grady Way 600 El Brokaw Road Renton, WA 98055 San Jose,CA 95112 1 RANSMITTED THIS 13th day of February, 2003 to the following: Mayor Jesse Tanner Gregg Zimmerman,Plan/Bldg/PW Admin.

Warren, City Attorney Larry Meckling,Building Official Transportation Systems Division Jay Covington,Chief Administrative Officer Utilities System Division Councilperson Kathy Keolker-Wheeler South County Journal Alex Pietsch,Econ.Dev. Director Pursuant to Title IV, Chapter 8, Section 100G of the City's Code, request for reconsideration must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 p.m.,February 27,2003. Any aggrieved person feeling that the decision of the Examiner is ambiguous or based on erroneous procedure,errors of law or fact,error in judgment, or the discovery of new evidence which could not be reasonably available at the prior hearing may make a written request for a review by the Examiner within fourteen(14)days from the date of the Examiner's decision. This Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13,2003 Page 7 request shall set forth the specific ambiguities or errors discovered by such appellant,and the Examiner may, after review of the record, take further action, as he deems proper. An appeal to the City Council is governed by Title IV,Chapter 8, Section 110,which requires that such appeal be filed with the City Clerk, accompanying a filing fee of$75.00 and meeting other specified requirements. Copies of this ordinance are available for inspection or purchase in the Finance Department, first floor of City Hall. If the Examiner's Recommendation or Decision contains the requirement for Restrictive Covenants,the executed Covenants will be required prior to approval by City Council or final processing of the file. You may contact this office for information on formatting covenants. The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte(private one-on-one)communications may occur concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council. All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court. The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as Appeals to the City Council.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Rezone of 21.37 acres of land designated Employment Area— Transition from Heavy Industrial(IH)zone to Center/Office/Residential 3 (COR3)zone. SUMMARY OF ACTION: Development Services Recommendation: Approve DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT: The Development Services Report was received by the Examiner on January 28,2003 PUBLIC HEARING: In accordance with Section 4-8-14(C)(2),the Hearing Examiner shall determine if a change of zone classification is advisable, in the public interest,tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights of the petitioner, is not materially detrimental to the public welfare of the properties of other persons located in the vicinity thereof,and is in harmony with the purposes and effect of the Comprehensive Plan. In such event,the Hearing Examiner may recommend that the City Council approve the change of the zone classification. MINUTES The following minutes are a summary of the Tuesday, February 4, 2003 hearing. The legal record is recorded on tape. The hearing opened on Tuesday,February 4,2003,at 9:01 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the Renton City Hall. The following exhibits were entered into the record: Exhibit No. 1: Yellow land use file,LUA-02- Exhibit No.2: Vicinity Map 149,R,ECF, containing the original application,proof of posting,proof of publication and other documentation pertinent to this request. Exhibit No.3: Proposed Rezone Area Exhibit No.4a: Aerial Photo of Property with Zoning Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13,2003 Page 2 Exhibit No.4b: Aerial Photo with Parcel Lines Exhibit No.4c: Close-up Photo of Subject Site Exhibit No.5: Existing Conditions Map Exhibit No.6: Fry's Site Plan Exhibit No. 7: Correct Zoning of Property to the Exhibit No.8: Code Amendments West(Subsequently Modified) Elizabeth Higgins, Senior Planner,Economic Development Division, 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055 presented the staff report. The project is a proposed rezone of approximately 21 acres of land,half of which is currently being developed for a Fry's Electronics retail store. She noted that approximately half of the property (the southern half)to the west abutting the subject property,on the west side of Garden Avenue North,has been rezoned to Center Office(CO)designation. (This was corrected subsequent to the hearing. The property is currently zoned IH) The purpose of the rezone is due to much transition in this area. It is located in North Renton and is an area that has traditionally been used for industrial purposes. Not only was there the previously noted rezone,there was a subdivision of the property that abuts the subject property. The subdivision occurred in 2002 and divided a single parcel into four parcels presumably for the purpose of redevelopment. Subsequent to that subdivision,the southern most parcel of the four was rezoned to Center Office Zone. The property located to the north of the subject site is zoned COR and is currently being redeveloped for a variety of mixed uses. There is much redevelopment in this area. There is currently a moratorium on all of the property in the City that is zoned Heavy Industrial(IH). The moratorium was put into place for several reasons. The City has the desire to look at these properties and ensure that they are developed in a way that meets the City's vision. The City's vision at present time(based on policies that are in transition) is that this property no longer be used for industrial uses. The City is supportive of continuing industrial uses by the businesses that are there but the polices currently being formulated to support a transition from those heavy industrial uses to uses that are more compatible with the designation of Urban Center. The City designated this area as part of its Urban Center when the current Comprehensive Plan was developed. The area meets the countywide planning policies for urban centers. Industrial uses are not compatible with those projected uses. The purpose of the six- month moratorium is to look at parcels on an individual basis and decide if they should remain industrial. In response to questioning from the Examiner,Ms. Higgins replied that staff does not believe rezoning this site is premature. Although they do see residential coming into this area the policies do not allow or would not direct residential development on the eastside of Park Avenue. City policies direct future residential development to the west side of Park Avenue so there would be no residential development anywhere east of Park Avenue. There is a simultaneous code amendment that is being processed. Unfortunately, it did not go to a public hearing prior to this hearing. The code amendment would add notes to the COR-3 zone that would limit the development of this particular property should it be successfully rezoned and would include big box retail which the COR-3 does not currently allow that would ensure the viability of the Fry's Electronics which is a big box retail facility and it would also allow development of the north portion of the property to big box retail. There is currently a negotiation in progress between Fry's and another retailer for development of the north portion of the parcel. It would also limit residential development so that it could not occur east of Garden Avenue North, north of North 8th Street or south of Lake Washington Boulevard. The railroad tracks abut the site on the east. There are some utility crossings but no access from that side. They did anticipate that someone may try to put residential on this property but the notes in the development standards would not allow it in this area. There is a COR 1 and a COR 2. COR 1 is the Port Quendall site and Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13,2003 Page 3 COR 2 is the Stoneway site along the Cedar River. They do anticipate the development of COR 4,COR 5,and COR 6 in the other Boeing property areas. This rezone is consistent with potential future rezones in this area. Staff feels that circumstances have changed since the last review took place. This area has not been looked at for other uses other than heavy industrial since the last round of analysis except for the abutting property to the west. That analysis will be taking place on the rest of the property within the next six months. The reason for the rezone is that negotiations between Fry's and another retailer were fairly well along when the moratorium was put in place and staff felt it would be unfair impose a restriction on development of that property for what they felt would probably be an inappropriate use due to concerns with the rest of the industrial zoned property in the area. Ms.Higgins stated that staff recommends approval of the rezone. The Examiner called for further testimony regarding this project. There was no one else wishing to speak,and no further comments from staff. The hearing closed at 9:30 a.m. FINDINGS,CONCLUSIONS&RECOMMENDATION Having reviewed the record in this matter,the Examiner now makes and enters the following: FINDINGS: 1. The applicant,City of Renton,filed a request for approval of reclassification of property from IH(Heavy Industrial)to COR3 (Center/Office/Residential 3). 2. The yellow file containing the staff report,the State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA)documentation and other pertinent materials was entered into the record as Exhibit#1. 3. The Environmental Review Committee(ERC),the City's responsible official, issued a Declaration of Non- Significance(DNS)for the subject proposal. 4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter. 5. The property is located on the east side of Garden Avenue North between North 8th on the south and North Park on the north. The subject site is located on the east side of the Boeing Complex and was at one time owned by Boeing. 6. The subject site is an irregular trapezoidal shaped parcel that cants to the west at its north end. The property is approximately 21.3 acres. 7. The parcel is approximately 500 feet wide(east to west) by approximately 1,900 feet long. The parcel is comprised of one legal lot. 8. The parcel was used as a parking lot in the past,but has been abandoned. The site is generally level. 9. The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 1793 enacted in September 1959. 10. The site received its current IH zoning in June 1993 when the City reorganized its zoning categories. 11. The Comprehensive Plan for this area of the City was adopted in February 1995. The map element of the Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13,2003 Page 4 Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as suitable for Employment Area-Transition. Staff noted that the Comprehensive Plan designation would permit the proposed COR3 Zoning District. 12. Staff also noted that a Text Amendment to the Zoning Code would expand the permitted uses to include "big box"retail uses. A Comprehensive Plan policy would restrict residential uses east of Garden Avenue North but that policy has not been reduced to restrictions on the COR 3 Zone in this area. 13. The City imposed a development moratorium on properties zoned IH in order to identify new goals for areas of the City zoned IH. The City is reviewing its goals and objectives for these various areas while preserving the industrial uses that currently exist. 14. Prior to the development moratorium,Fry's Electronics purchased the property and applied for permits to construct a large retail store on the south 12 acres of the subject site. The building proposed is considered "big box"retail. The proposed use would be permitted in the COR3 zone and due to vesting may be developed in spite of the moratorium. 15. Property to the northwest,the Southport development,was reclassified to COR 3 in 1999. 16. Apparently,the owner of the subject site,Fry's,the developer of the south half of the subject site, is in negotiations to sell the property to another retailer. The City did not want to hamper that sale prospect and has proposed reclassifying both sites to allow redevelopment. The City has analyzed the proposed uses and the Comprehensive Plan for the area. It has recommended that the rezone is compatible with the City's goals and the Comprehensive Plan designation. Conclusions: 1. The proponent of a rezone must demonstrate that the request is in the public interest,that it will not impair the public health, safety and welfare and in addition,complies with the criteria found in Section 4-9-180, which provides in part that: D. AUTHORITY FOR REZONES NOT REQUIRING PLAN AMENDMENT: In those instances where there is a rezone request,which does not require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan,the processing of the rezone application shall be submitted to the administration. The applicant will have the burden and duty of applying for and pursuing the rezone. The rezone hearing shall be held before the Hearing Examiner under the procedures and rules of the Hearing Examiner. (Ord. 4437,2-21-1994) F. DECISION CRITERIA FOR CHANGE OF ZONE CLASSIFICATION: 1. Criteria for Rezones Requiring a Comprehensive Plan Amendment: The Reviewing Official shall find that: a. The proposed amendment meets the review criteria in RMC 4-9-020G; and b. The property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the polices set forth in the Comprehensive Plan; and Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13, 2003 Page 5 c. At least one of the following circumstances applies: i. The subject reclassification was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning; or ii. Since the most recent land use analysis or the area zoning of the subject property, authorized public improvements,permitted private development or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. 2. Criteria for Rezones Not Requiring Plan Amendment: The Reviewing Official shall make the following findings: a. The rezone is in the public interest,and b. The rezone tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights of the petitioner,and c. The rezone is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity thereof,and d. The rezone meets the review criteria in subsections F lb and F 1 c of this Section. (Amd. Ord. 4794, 9-20-1999) The requested classification is justified and should be approved by the City Council. 2. The proposal is in the public interest by extending the area in which urban public services serving the general public could be permitted. The heavy industrial zone does not cater to the general shopping public. The site is just north of the City's urban core and the COR 3 zoning would permit development of supportive retail uses. In addition,unlike the immediate downtown area,the site and surrounding sites are large parcels of property,which can reasonably support"big box"retail uses. Retail use would also increase the job base of the area and City. The prior parking use did not create jobs. 3. The COR 3 zoning will provide the property owner a wide range of permissible uses including their proposed retail use. The range of uses is much broader than the industrial uses now permitted on the subject site. This would appear to serve the rights of the property owner. The property owner did not in any way object to the City's rezone petition. 4. The rezone does not appear to cause any harm to the public welfare or adjacent property. The range of possible uses is much less intense in the COR 3 zone than in the heavy industrial zone. The one possible negative aspect would be the fact that the COR 3 zone would permit residential uses. These uses might be incompatible with the adjacent heavy industrial uses. While a Comprehensive Plan policy suggests that residential uses not be established east of Park Avenue,there is no codification that would limit that type of use. The City Council might want to consider limiting the use of the subject site to commercial endeavors. 5. In addition,COR 3 zoning was not considered the last time the subject site underwent zoning analysis and the area is definitely one in transition. The Boeing Company has been moving its plant and parking area west and contracting the acreage dedicated to industrial processes and the supportive parking. In addition, the Southport development supplanted the Shuffleton power plant. 6. In conclusion,the proposed rezone appears to reasonably comply with the objectives and goals of the Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13,2003 Page 6 Comprehensive Plan while leading further transition away from industrial uses so close to the downtown core. Recommendation: The City Council should approve the request to reclassify the subject site from IH to COR 3 subject to the finalization of Ordinance 5001. The City Council might consider limiting the use of the subject site to commercial and retail uses since development of residential uses adjacent to the existing heavy industrial Boeing complex might be incompatible.

Dev. Director Pursuant to Title IV, Chapter 8, Section 100G of the City's Code, request for reconsideration must be filed in writing on or before 5:00 p.m.,February 27,2003. Any aggrieved person feeling that the decision of the Examiner is ambiguous or based on erroneous procedure,errors of law or fact, error in judgment,or the discovery of new evidence which could not be reasonably available at the prior hearing may make a written request for a review by the Examiner within fourteen(14)days from the date of the Examiner's decision. This Fry's Rezone File No.: LUA-02-149,R,ECF February 13,2003 Page 7 request shall set forth the specific ambiguities or errors discovered by such appellant,and the Examiner may, after review of the record,take further action,as he deems proper. An appeal to the City Council is governed by Title IV, Chapter 8, Section 110,which requires that such appeal be filed with the City Clerk, accompanying a filing fee of$75.00 and meeting other specified requirements. Copies of this ordinance are available for inspection or purchase in the Finance Department, first floor of City Hall. If the Examiner's Recommendation or Decision contains the requirement for Restrictive Covenants,the executed Covenants will be required prior to approval by City Council or final processing of the file. You may contact this office for information on formatting covenants. The Appearance of Fairness Doctrine provides that no ex parte(private one-on-one)communications may occur concerning pending land use decisions. This means that parties to a land use decision may not communicate in private with any decision-maker concerning the proposal. Decision-makers in the land use process include both the Hearing Examiner and members of the City Council. All communications concerning the proposal must be made in public. This public communication permits all interested parties to know the contents of the communication and would allow them to openly rebut the evidence. Any violation of this doctrine would result in the invalidation of the request by the Court. The Doctrine applies not only to the initial public hearing but to all Requests for Reconsideration as well as Appeals to the City Council. j --.. r.--..--- ---'...---.. ------..j/ Logan Ave. N I I 13I .- D --....., ....,, Ave.I IN g—tiI.4 .

This memorandum should clarify these issues. If you have additional comments, however, please do not hesitate to contact me. Zoning of property abutting on the west: The property was rezoned from "Center Office" (CO) to "Heavy Industrial" (IH), not the other way around. I misspoke when I speculated that the exhibit maps were incorrect. They properly indicate the zoning to the west as IH. COR code amendments: The proposed code amendments are attached. I believe they should be entered into the file as Exhibit 8. Limitation on COR uses at this location: The Center Office Residential code amendments would result in "big box" retail being allowed on the Fry's property, if the rezone is approved. The proposed code amendments would not limit development of the Fry's property for residential uses. The specific limitation on development in the proposed code amendments would only limit big box retail, not residential, to the area "east of Garden Avenue N and north of NE 8th Street." The rezone, however, from IH to COR would allow the City to require site plan review for future projects proposed on the Fry's property. In addition, because current policy does not allow residential development east of Park Avenue, staff would not recommend approval of a residential project on the Fry's property. Status of COR 3 code amendments: The City Council completed first and second readings of the proposed code amendments on Monday, February 10, 2003. They will become effective on February 21, 2003. cc: Rebecca Lind H:\EDNSP\Projects\Urban Center-Transition\Fry's rezone HEX memo.doc • CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, NEIGHBORHOODS, AND STRATEGIC PLANNING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM DA'1'h: December 30, 2002 TO: Kathy Keolker-Wheeler,President City Council Members 11.1 VIA: Mayor Jesse Tanner FROM: Alex Pietsch, Acting Administrator 1V1-/e Economic Development, Neighborhoods, and Strategic Planning Department STAFF CONTACT: Elizabeth Higgins (6576) SUBJECT: Center/Office/Residential Zone Code Amendment ISSUE: Amend code to allow big-box retail in the Center/Office/Residential 3 Zone, east of Garden Avenue North. RECOMMENDATION: • Refer to Planning Commission and Planning and Development Committee BACKGROUND SUMMARY: Center/Office/Residential is an implementing zone within the Center/Office/Residential and Employment Area—Transition (Interim) Comprehensive Plan designations. The proposed rezone would be consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan policies: Policy LU-212.31 Uses should be selected from the range of uses allowed in the existing CA Zone to encourage a group of activities that are synergistic with office, biotech, research, technology, and residential. Strip commercial, veterinary, kennels, adult entertainment, outdoor storage, contractors' services, and convalescent centers are examples of uses discouraged under this designation. Traditional retail (Main Street), general business and professional services, and H:\EDNSP\Council\Issue Papers-Agenda Bills-Ctte Reports\2003\COR 3 code amendment.docLast printed 12/31/2002 9:27 AM December 31, 2002 Page 2 general offices are examples of the types of uses that are encouraged under this designation. Disallow the following uses: vehicle sales and service including automobiles, RVs, boats, truck and motorcycles. Policy LU-212.36 Changes in zoning from industrial to another zone should achieve a mix of uses that improves the City's economic base and employment base. Factors such as increasing the City's tax base, improving efficiency in the use of the land, and the ability of a proposed land use to mitigate potential adverse impacts should be taken into account. The proposed code amendment would result in a modification of the uses allowed in the Center/Office/Residential 3 (COR 3)Zone. The proposed code amendment would allow "big- box retail" to be developed in the Center/Office/Residential 3 zone in a location delineated as "east of Garden Avenue North." Currently, big-box retail is allowed in Light, Medium, and Heavy Industrial zones and in Commercial Arterial zones. Big-box retail is defined in RMC Title IV as: A single indoor retail or wholesale user who occupies no less than seventy five thousand(75,000) square feet of gross floor area, typically requires high parking to building area ratios, and has a regional sales market. Big-box retail/wholesale sales can include, but are not limited to,membership warehouse clubs that emphasize bulk sales, discount stores, and department stores. This definition does not include auto sales, outdoor retail sales, and adult retail uses. The COR 3 Zone is the property commonly known as the Southport site. The proposed code amendment would expand the COR 3 to include the property commonly known as the Fry's site. The area would be further delineated as being located, "east of Garden Avenue North." The south portion of the Fry's site is currently being developed for big-box retail use. Fry's Electronics will be a one-story, 151,200 square foot retail building with surface parking for 900 vehicles. CONCLUSION: This code amendment is being requested to allow big-box retail in an area of the City of Renton deemed suitable for this type of use, based on available infrastructure, visibility from high- volume transportation corridors, and need. COR CODE AMENDMENT The proposed code amendment would result in a modification of the uses allowed in the Center/Office/Residential 3 Zone. The following revisions are necessary: RMC 4-2-020.O.2.c: COR 3 is applied to the property commonly known as the Southport Site. To be revised thusly: RMC 4-2-020.O.2.c: COR 3 is applied to the properties commonly known as the Southport and Fry's sites.

APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE RENTON MUNICIPAL CODE: 1. RMC 4-9-180 Rezone Process F. APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: 1 . Land Use Element, Objective LU-EE.e G. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS: (A) PROJECT DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND The land use action requested is a rezone of property from Heavy Industrial (IH) to Center/Office/Residential 3 (COR 3). The Comprehensive Plan designation for the property is Employment Area — Transition (Interim). Because COR is an implementing zone under the EA-T designation, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is not required. This request is for a rezone from IH to COR 3 only. The COR zone is intended to provide for a mix of intensive uses. COR 3 allows multi-family residential, office, and commercial development. Although "big-box" retail has not been an allowed use in the COR zone, a simultaneous code amendment was requested that would add this use to the COR 3 zone, east of Garden Avenue N and north of N 8th Street. Any of the other COR 3 allowable uses may be acceptable on the property. The COR zones have also been designated as "gateways" to the City and are intended to be designed accordingly. The position of the subject property, in relation to Interstate 405, makes it a gateway location. A nearby project, Southport, was rezoned COR 3 in 1999. Staff believes an extension of the COR 3 zone to include this land would be consistent with the objectives and goals of the Comprehensive Plan designation. Development of the subject property to the same standards of Southport would be appropriate in this location, but not expected in the near future. Rather, the purpose of this rezone request is to allow development of the remainder of the subject property to a use similar to that occurring on the southern half of the property at the present time. That is, "big box" retail. Currently, a moratorium on development of land zoned heavy industrial is in effect in the City. Because the subject property is zoned IH, it cannot be developed for any use until mid-2003, or as long as the moratorium is in effect. This situation causes a potential hardship on the property owner who is in the process of selling the property. In addition, the nature of the area, formerly used for industrial purposes, is changing. This was recognized when a previous Comprehensive Plan amendment was enacted, creating the Employment Area — Transition land Fry's rezone Hexreport.doc City of Renton EDNSP Department iminary Report to the Hearing Examiner FRY'S REZONE LUA-02-149, ECF, R PUBLIC HEARING DATE: FEBRUARY 4,2003 Page 5 of 7 use designation and applying it to the subject property. The suffix "Interim" further indicates that the area is transitioning to other uses. Currently, projects developed in the IH zone (accept in the Valley) are exempt from Site Plan Review and Approval. If the rezone request is approved, Site Plan Review would be required for future project approval. 2. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.21 C, 1971 as amended), on January 14, 2003 the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance (DNS). The appeal period ended on February 3, 2003. No appeals to the threshold determination have been filed as of the date of this report. 3. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW COMMITTEE MITIGATION MEASURES Based on an analysis of probable impacts from the proposed project, the A Environmental Review Committee determined that no mitigation measures would be required. 4. STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address site plan issues from the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report and the Departmental Recommendation at the end of the report. 5. CONSISTENCY WITH REZONE CRITERIA The Reviewing Official shall have authority to grant a rezone upon making a determination, in writing, that the conditions specified below have been found to exist (RMC 4-9-180). 4-9-180.D. Authority for Rezones Not Requiring a Plan Amendment: Center/Office/Residential (COR) is an implementing zone in the Employment Area — Transition designation as per LU-EE.e and, therefore, does not require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment 4-9-180.F. Decision Criteria for Change of Zone Classification: a. Criteria for Rezones Not Requiring Plan Amendment: The Reviewing Official [Hearing Examiner] shall make the following findings: i. The rezone is in the public interest: Fry's rezone Hexreport.doc City of Renton EDNSP Department iminary Report to the Hearing Examiner FRY'S REZONE LUA-02-149, ECF, R PUBLIC HEARING DATE: FEBRUARY 4,2003 Page 6 of 7 The area for which the rezone has been requested is immediately adjacent to the City of Renton's Urban Center. The Urban Center designation meets the criteria of the Countywide Planning Policies as the area of the City in which the majority of the forecasted population growth to the year 2030 will be directed. In order for housing to be developed in this area, a rezone from Heavy Industrial (IH) to a zone that would have fewer significant impacts on residential uses is necessary. Therefore, this rezone is in the long-term public interest. ii. The rezone tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights of the petitioner [property owner]: Industrial uses would not be permitted following the rezone from IH to COR. The COR designation, however, offers a broad range of allowable uses, such as retail, thereby preserving the substantial existing property rights of the property owner(s). The wide range of allowable uses would enhance market acceptability considerably so that enjoyment of future property rights would not be impaired. iii. The rezone is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity thereof: The proposed rezone is not detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity because the uses allowed by the rezone to COR would have fewer potential negative impacts and mitigation would probably be more feasible than those potentially resulting from uses now allowed by the IH zoning. iv. The rezone meets the review criteria in subsections of F1 b and F1 c of this section: F.1.b. The property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan: The area of the proposed rezone is classified for COR zoning in the following existing Comprehensive Plan objective: Objective LU-EE.e: Provide flexibility in the regulatory processes by allowing for a variety of zone designations in the Employment Area — designation. Zones which implement Transition (Interim) the Employment Area — Transition (Interim) include Heavy Industrial (IH), �. Light Industrial (IL), Commercial Office (CO), Center Downtown (CD), and Commercial-Office-Residential [sic] (COR). F.1 .c. At least one of the following circumstances applies: a. The subject classification was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning, Fry's rezone Hexreport.doc City of Renton EDNSP Department iminary Report to the Hearing Examiner FRY'S REZONE LUA-02-149, ECF, R PUBLIC HEARING DATE: FEBRUARY 4,2003 Page 7 of 7 The COR Zone was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning. b. Since the most recent land use analysis or the area zoning of the subject property, authorized public improvements, permitted private development or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. Since the most recent land use analysis of this area and area zoning, it has been designated "Urban Center." Continued heavy industrial uses may produce negative impacts that could be detrimental to typical Urban Center uses. The COR zoning that has been proposed would have fewer impacts that would be incompatible with Urban Center uses, yet value of the land would be retained or enhanced by the proposed rezone. The potential rezone supports City policies adopted to meet the requirements of the Growth Management Act. H.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW COMMITTEE MEETING NOTICE CONSENT AGENDA JANUARY 14, 2003 To: Gregg Zimmerman, Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator Jim Shepherd, Community Services Administrator Lee Wheeler, Fire Chief From: Jennifer Henning, Development Planning Meeting Date: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 Time: 9:00 AM Location: Sixth Floor Conference Room #620 Agenda listed below. PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A CONSENT AGENDA, THERE WILL NOT BE A MEETING Fry's Rezone (Higgins) LUA-02-149,ECF,R Rezone of approximately 21.37 acres of land designated Employment Area—Transition (Interim)from Heavy Industrial to Center/Office/Residential 3. Location: east of Garden Ave. N. and north of 8th St. Falk Annexation and Prezone (Erickson) LUA-02-019,ECF,A,R The applicant, Steve Beck, has requested Environmental Review for the proposed rezoning of this 5.96 acre annexation site (excluding streets) from King County's R-1 Zone to Renton's R-8 Zone. The current site is the northern section of the previously proposed original Falk Annexation of 13.66 acres. Because annexations are SEPA exempt (RCW 43.21C.222) this environmental review is only for the rezone. Under Renton's R-8 zoning the + 6.43 acre site (including street right-of- way) could theoretically accommodate approximately 46 dwelling units, assuming 8 du/net acre. Because of steep slopes on a portion of the site the actual number of units allowed may be less than 46 units. The proposed rezone is consistent with Renton's Residential Single Family land use designation, as shown on the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Location: The 6.43 acre site is located to the west of 102nd Avenue SE in King County and south of S 47th Street in Renton. The City of Renton abuts the subject site on its north and west. Retaining Wall for Olympic Pipeline (Jordan) LUA-02-135,ECF The applicant is requesting Environmental (SEPA) Review in order to construct a 175-foot long retaining wall with varying heights (maximum of 13 feet above grade). The retaining wall is intended to stabilize the adjacent hillside so that pipeline personnel can access the pipeline and inspect and/or make any necessary repairs to the pipeline. The project area is estimated to be approximately 12,400 square feet. The applicant is proposing to make the retaining wall a permanent structure so that future inspections will be more readily accessible. The retaining wall is proposed to be located on Puget Sound Energy property, within an Olympic Pipeline easement. Project construction is planned to begin in spring of 2003 and be completed within an estimated time frame of five weeks.

The area of the proposed rezone is the former Boeing Lot 6, site of a Fry's Electronics retail building which is currently under construction.

Center/Office/Residential (COR)is an implementing zone within the Employment Area— Transition (Interim) (EA-T) designation and, therefore, would not require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

Authority for Rezones Not Requiring a Plan Amendment: [Center/Office/Residential(COR) is an implementing zone in the Employment Area—Transition designation as per LU-EE.e and, therefore, does not require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment] F. Decision Criteria for Change of Zone Classification: 2. Criteria for Rezones Not Requiring Plan Amendment: The Reviewing Official [Hearing Examiner] shall make the following findings: a. The rezone is in the public interest: pEVE 10p OF RF ON 1N4 The area for which the rezone has been requested is immediately G adjacent to the City of Renton's Urban Center. The Urban Center DEC 211 2002 designation meets the criteria of the Countywide Planning Policies as the area of the City in which the majority of the forecasted population RECOED growth to the year 2030 will be directed. In order for housing to be developed in this are, a rezone from Heavy Industrial(IH) to a zone that would have fewer significant impacts on residential uses is necessary. Therefore, this rezone is in the long-term public interest. b. The rezone tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial property rights of the petitioner [property owner]: Industrial uses would not be permitted following the rezone from IH to COR. The COR designation, however, offers a broad range of allowable uses, such as retail, thereby preserving the substantial existing property rights of the property owner(s). The wide range of allowable uses would enhance market acceptability considerably so that enjoyment of future property rights would not be impaired. c. The rezone is not materially detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity thereof: The proposed rezone is not detrimental to the public welfare or the properties of other persons located in the vicinity because the uses allowed by the rezone to COR would have fewer potential negative impacts and mitigation would probably be more feasible than those potentially resulting from uses now allowed by the IH zoning. H:\EDNSP\Projects\Boeing Plant\Rezone\IH to COR rezone criteria(lot 6).docLast printed 12/23/2002 1:48 PM d. The rezone meets the review criteria in subsections of Flb and Flc of this section: F.1.b. The property is potentially classified for the proposed zone being requested pursuant to the policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan: The area of the proposed rezone is classified for COR zoning in the following existing Comprehensive Plan objective: Objective LU-EE.e: Provide flexibility in the regulatory processes by allowing for a variety of zone designations in the Employment Area—Transition (Interim) designation. Zones which implement the Employment Area—Transition (Interim) include Heavy Industrial (IH), Light Industrial (IL), Commercial Office (CO), Center Downtown (CD), and Commercial-Office- Residential [sic] (COR). F.1.c. At least one of the following circumstances applies: i. The subject classification was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning, The COR Zone was not specifically considered at the time of the last area land use analysis and area zoning. ii. Since the most recent land use analysis or the area zoning of the subject property, authorized public improvements, permitted private development or other circumstances affecting the subject property have undergone significant and material change. Since the most recent land use analysis of this area and area zoning, it has been designated "Urban Center." Continued heavy industrial uses may produce negative impacts that could be detrimental to typical Urban Center uses. The COR zoning that has been proposed would have fewer impacts that would be incompatible with Urban Center uses, yet value of the land would be retained or enhanced by the proposed rezone. The potential rezone supports City policies adopted to meet the requirements of the Growth Management Act. i bil4 / Logan Ave. N i � — --_.._.____„. i in *NIn • I �, 1 \ \ Z' 61 �-8 A�te.1 . �-814 - , .11 R io 'R-id �We`118-8 ► s]3g z _ 4 =sr i 1.01FSH.a. _; _ i 4 !Rf$1 1 Rk0 (.4-.----- --------i . ----------.

The area of the proposed rezone is the former Boeing Lot 6, site of a Fry's Electronics retail building which is currently under construction. The Fry's project covers approximately 12 acres of the 21 acre parcel. It is anticipated that the remaining portion of the property would be developed for commercial uses following the rezone. No development permit is being submitted at the present time however. The requested rezone is from Heavy Industrial to Center/Office/Residential -3 within the Employment Area—Transition (Interim) designation. Center/Office/Residential (COR) is an implementing zone within the Employment Area— Transition (Interim) (EA-T) designation and, therefore, would not require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (These sheets should only be used for actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs. You do not need to fill out these sheets for project actions.) Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment. When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms. 1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? Development of the property would possibly increase discharge, emissions, production. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: At the time specific development is proposed, development review would ensure mitigation of such increases. 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life? This proposal would not affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life, although future development could do so. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: - At the time specific development is proposed, development review would ensure mitigation of such impacts. 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? This proposal would not cause depletion of energy or natural resources, although future development could do so. Page 15 of 17 Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: At the time specific development is proposed, development review would ensure mitigation of such impacts. 4.
