its business plan for 2015 and beyond. Items noted were:
The City of Renton will begin pruning 56 maple trees along Maple Valley Highway
beginning on Tuesday, September 27th. The project will close one westbound lane
along the row of trees. Pruning of the low-hanging red and Norway maple trees will
provide at least 15 feet of clearance over the highway and remove branches that have
grown through the netting along the 10th fairway. The project is expected to take
three days and be completed by Thursday, September 29th.
Tuesday, September 27th is the final Renton Farmers Market of the year from 3:00
p.m. until 7:00 p.m., at the Piazza Park in downtown Renton.

AGENDA ITEM #7. a)
September 26, 2016 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUDIENCE COMMENTS
Steve Roediger, Renton, expressed concerns related to Ordinance No. 5815 (see
below) regarding Council's decision to change the speed limit on SE May Valley Rd.
and Nile Ave. NE from 25 miles an hour to 30. He had hoped they would be changing
the speed limit back to 35 miles an hour and provided reasons he believed 35 to be a
more reasonable number. Councilmember Pérez clarified that Council's decision to
change it to a number lower than 35 is mostly due to the preservation of safety
especially for bicyclists and small children getting off of school buses that stop along
that street.
David Linville, Seattle, addressed council as legal representation for Reed Trucking &
Excavating Inc. and shared his concerns for the City's dismissal of Reed's bid proposal
(see item 6.b.), and that he believed the errors in the bid were not material. Senior
Assistant City Attorney Shane Moloney provided clarification that due to multiple
irregularities found in the bid bond, it is the City's opinion that if this was challenged
by who is believed to be the lowest responsive bidder the City would lose.
Diane Dobson, Renton, apologized to Council for failing to effectively communicate in
an email she sent that morning. Additionally, she thanked Mayor Law for his quick
action in requesting for assistance in facilitating better communication between the
North Renton Community and the Renton School District. She requested clarification
regarding responsibilities of the City and the School District, primary relating to offsite
transportation impacts.

SUBJECT/TITLE: Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan Consultant Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council Concur
DEPARTMENT: Community & Economic Development
STAFF CONTACT: John Collum, Community Development Project Manager
EXT.: 6589
FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY:
Funding for the project is proposed to come from two projects currently within the CIP Fund: Piazza (Park)
Redevelopment (current balance: $400,000) and Downtown Wayfinding (current balance: $200,000).
Approval of the consultant agreement ($475,000) and public engagement meeting expenses ($20,000) will
require a reallocation of $400,000 from Piazza (Park) Redevelopment and $95,000 from Downtown
Wayfinding projects to create a new Downtown Civic Core project in the CIP Fund with a total amount of
$495,000.
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Early this year, the Mayor and Council requested that staff begin work on developing a visionary master plan
for Downtown's Civic Core area, which consists of the area generally bounded by Morris Avenue South, South
2nd Street, Burnett Avenue South, and South 3rd Street, and extending north and south of the area along
Burnett Avenue South, as well as the surrounding blocks fronting this area. Staff released a Request for
Proposals (RFP) in May, seeking a consultant to lead the planning process. The Selectio n Committee
unanimously identified MIG (with Fehr & Peers and Leland Consulting Group as subconsultants) as the top -
ranked team. Since the selection of the top-ranked team, staff has been negotiating a detailed project scope
and fee with MIG. The project will include a significant number of opportunities for public input and
participation with a variety of methods being utilized to solicit input. The resulting product from public input
and the consultant’s work will center around a Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan that focuses on
short, medium, and long term phaseable projects. The plan will be highly visual and organized as both a
strategic framework plan that identifies targeted interventions, and includes a marketing and branding action
plan for the City, downtown stakeholders, and developers/investors.
Total consultant costs to complete the work identified in the project scope are $475,000. Additional expenses
estimated at $20,000 are anticipated to be incurred by the City to cover costs assoc iated with the public
engagement meeting process, including meeting space and set-up rentals and supplies. The City and
consultant will endeavor to hold meetings within the Civic Core/Downtown area when possible, as well as hold
some meetings in other parts of the City dependent upon meeting topics.

VIA:Denis Law, Mayor

SUBJECT:Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan Consultant Agreement
ISSUE:
Should the Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a $475,000 consultant
agreement with MIG to complete the Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan? Should the
Council approve additional costs estimated at $20,000 to be incurred by the City to cover the
project’s public engagement meeting expenses? Should the Council authorize reallocating a
total of $495,000, including $400,000 from Piazza (Park) Redevelopment and $95,000 from
Downtown Wayfinding projects in the Municipal Facilities CIP Fund (“CIP Fund”), to create a
new Downtown Civic Core project in the CIP Fund to fund the consultant agreement and
project’s public engagement meeting expenses?
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the consultant
agreement with MIG to develop the Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan in the amount
of $475,000. Staff further recommends Council approve additional costs estimated at $20,000
to be incurred by the City for the project’s public engagement meeting expenses. Finally, staff
further recommends reallocating a total of $495,000, including $400,000 from the Piazza (Park)
Redevelopment and $95,000 from Downtown Wayfinding projects in the CIP Fund, to create a
new Downtown Civic Core project in the CIP Fund to fund the consultant agreement and the
project’s public engagement meeting expenses.
BACKGROUND:
Early this year, the Mayor and Council requested that staff begin work on developing a
visionary master plan for Downtown's Civic Core area, which consists of the area generally
bounded by Morris Avenue South, South 2nd Street, Burnett Avenue South, and South 3rd
Street, and extending north and south of the area along Burnett, as well as the surrounding
blocks fronting this area. This was in light of proposed plans to relocate many of the transit
center’s operations to a new station at Rainier Avenue South and South Grady Way. Bus routes
(non-commuter) that provide direct access to the Downtown Business District and Civic Core
would remain in Downtown to serve residents, employees, and visitors. King County has given
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)

the City its commitment to work with the City to confirm a date for it to make this transition
and get the new transit center built. King County has also agreed to help with the necessary
steps for the acquisition of property to build the new transit center.
To prepare for the transition, as well as determine the Civic Core area’s future following
changes to the transit center, staff released a Request for Proposals (RFP) in May, seeking a
consultant to lead the planning process. The RFP resulted in the City receiving 12 responses
from both locally and nationally-based consultant teams. The 12 responses were reviewed in
July by a Selection Committee composed of representatives of the Planning Commission, Parks
Commission, City Center Community Plan Advisory Board, Renton Downtown Partnership, and
City staff (including representatives from the Community and Economic Development and
Community Services departments). The committee short-listed four responses and then
conducted interviews.
The committee unanimously identified MIG (with Fehr & Peers and Leland Consulting Group as
subconsultants) as the top-ranked team. MIG is a national, multi-disciplinary firm whose
primary staff for the Civic Core project will be based in Portland, Oregon and Seattle. Among
MIG’s strengths, noted by the committee, was its passion for taking on the project, its strong
civil and transportation engineering team members, its understanding of the need and
opportunity to “brand” downtown as part of the overall solution and through this project, and
its superior graphic skills as displayed in its proposal and sample projects from other
communities. Also noted by the committee was that MIG served as the lead consultant on the
City’s Parks, Recreation and Natural Areas Plan adopted in 2011—a successful project and one
during which the consultant worked well with City staff.
Since the selection of the top-ranked team, staff has been negotiating a detailed project scope
and fee with MIG. The scope consists of a series of phases and tasks that result in a project
timeline of approximately 12 months. The project will involve the MIG team working with City
staff, downtown stakeholders, and focus groups to collect data and information on the study
area and the Downtown Business District, evaluate the current environment based upon the
information collected, and identify opportunities and constraints. Public involvement will be
included through a series of public workshops, meetings with stakeholders and interested
parties, and work sessions with the Planning Commission and City Council.
The project will include a significant number of opportunities for public input and participation
with a variety of methods being utilized to solicit input. Community involvement includes three
public workshops; four joint or individual meetings of two advisory committees formed to
represent community interests and technical needs of the project; up to 10 stakeholder/focus
group meetings/interviews; two joint Planning Commission/City Council updates/work sessions;
up to three work sessions/hearings with Planning Commission; and up to three work
sessions/hearings with City Council. In addition, the project will include development of an
interactive website for additional public participation and online surveys, and the public
workshops will employ survey instruments to obtain input on ideas, proposals and alternatives.
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)

The resulting product from public input and the consultant’s work will center around a
Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan that focuses on short, medium, and long term
phaseable projects and identify critical path elements, including specific land use and
programming elements for the Civic Core and adjacent building frontages that are necessary to
improve the Civic Core area today and over time. The plan will be highly visual and organized
as a strategic framework plan that identifies targeted interventions, and includes a marketing
and branding action plan for the City, downtown stakeholders, and developers/investors.
The Vision and Action Plan will be include site plans and implementing actions for several
elements focused on specific components of the Civic Core study area and, in some cases, the
Downtown Business District (denoted by an asterisk “*” below). The elements include:
placemaking plan, land use/urban design plan, wayfinding plan*, public facility business
strategy, market analysis*, organizational strategy*, multimodal transportation network
(including transit)/parking plan* (including linkages and connections between landmarks, public
facilities, regional trails and neighborhoods), infrastructure plan*, and a
phasing/implementation plan*.
In addition to feedback received from the public, the elements will be based upon evaluations
of important components of the Civic Core study area and Downtown Business District,
including land use and regulatory conditions, physical conditions, public use, public facilities,
market/economic conditions, transportation, transit, parking, connections, and infrastructure.
As part of the transit evaluation, the project scope includes a review of which bus routes would
transition to the new Grady/Rainier station, and which ones would remain in the Civic Core and
Downtown Business District and any changes to route directions and stops.
Total consultant costs to complete the work identified in the project scope are $475,000.
Additional costs estimated at $20,000 are anticipated to be incurred by the City to cover
expenses associated with the public engagement meeting process, including meeting space and
set-up rentals and supplies. The City and consultant will endeavor to hold meetings within the
Civic Core/Downtown area when possible, as well as hold some meetings in other parts of the
City dependent upon meeting topics. Funding for the project is proposed to come from two
projects currently within the CIP Fund: Piazza (Park) Redevelopment (current balance:
$400,000) and Downtown Wayfinding (current balance: $200,000). Approval of the consultant
agreement and public engagement meeting expenses will require a reallocation of a total of

with the Washington State Public Records Act, Consultant shall make a due diligent
search of all records in its possession, including, but not limited to, e-mail,

Act request for which Consultant has responsive records and for which Consultant has
withheld records or information contained therein, or not provided them to the City in a
timely manner. Consultant shall produce for distribution any and all records responsive
to the Public Records Act request in a timely manner, unless those records are protected
by court order.
9. Independent Contractor Relationship:
A. The Consultant is retained by the City only for the purposes and to the extent set

particular schedule, unless otherwise indicated in the Scope of Work or where
scheduling of attendance or performance is mutually arranged due to publicized
classes or activities. Consultant shall retain the right to designate the means of
performing the Services covered by this agreement, and the Consultant shall be

the City, its agents, attorneys, elected officials, employees, insurers, officers,
representatives, and volunteers from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, causes
of action, arbitrations, mediations, proceedings, judgments, awards, injuries, damages,
liabilities, taxes, losses, fines, fees, penalties, expenses, reasonable attorney’s or
attorneys’ fees, costs, and/or litigation expenses to or by any and all persons or entities,
including, without limitation, their respective agents, licensees, or representatives, to
the extent caused by the negligent acts, errors or omissions of the Consultant in
performance of this Agreement, except for that portion of the claims caused by the
City’s negligence.
Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this agreement is subject to
RCW 4.24.115, (Validity of agreement to indemnify against liability for negligence
relative to construction, alteration, improvement, etc., of structure or improvement
attached to real estate…) then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily
injury to persons or damages to property caused by or resulting from the concurrent
negligence of the Consultant and the City, its officers, officials, employees and
volunteers, Consultant’s liability shall be only to the extent of Consultant’s negligence.
It is further specifically and expressly understood that the indemnification provided in
this Agreement constitute Consultant’s waiver of immunity under the Industrial
Insurance Act, RCW Title 51, solely for the purposes of this indemnification. The Parties
have mutually negotiated and agreed to this waiver. The provisions of this section shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
11. Gifts and Conflicts: The City’s Code of Ethics and Washington State law prohibit City
employees from soliciting, accepting, or receiving any gift, gratuity or favor from any
person, firm or corporation involved in a contract or transaction. To ensure compliance
with the City’s Code of Ethics and state law, the Consultant shall not give a gift of any
kind to City employees or officials. Consultant also confirms that Consultant does not

liability policy on a non-contributory primary basis. The City’s insurance policies

Renton Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan: Draft Scope (09/28/2016)
MIG
Page 1 of 17
Renton Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan
The City has taken a series of smart, strategic steps that are strengthening its downtown
by returning to the core principles of thoughtful, human-scaled urbanism that have
served communities well for centuries. Yet there is a palpable sense that more is
possible. For Renton, it is not the lack of amenities that challenge many other
communities, it is the linkages and placemaking interventions that are still needed to
truly make Downtown Renton and the Civic Core the center of the community. This
vision and action plan will identify a community-supported vision and actions that take
advantage of Renton’s place in the region, and will also assess and analyze specific
interventions needed to create a true town center.
This project will use a variety of public engagement tools to gather input, including in-
person visioning exercises, stakeholder meetings and on-line surveys with the goal of
creating a citywide “buzz.” Interactive communications, branding and public
engagement techniques to get people involved and excited about the Civic Core and
Downtown will provide the foundation of this effort. Strategic, prioritized actions that
link public infrastructure, design and market readiness with programming and
placemaking recommendations will be explored.
The anticipated outcomes of this project are described below in the scope of services,
which will create a vision and identify phased, implementable actions to achieve the
vision set through the extensive community engagement tasks.
1 Projec t Kick-Of f and Initial Analysis
1.1 Project Kickoff and Site Tour
The purpose of the kickoff meeting and site tour is to understand analysis expectations
and prepare for future tasks. In preparation for the kick off meeting the Consultant will:
• Develop a draft agenda for a ½ day project kickoff meeting and Site Visit for the
City to review.
• Revise the agenda based on City input and distribute to the project team prior
to the kickoff meeting.
• Facilitate the project kickoff meeting, covering the scope of work, schedule,
project procedures and expectations regarding coordination and reporting,
confirming processes to efficiently develop the Civic Core Plan, discuss
background data needed such as GIS information, other land use plans, traffic
data, utility master plans, environmental documents and other relevant project
information necessary to begin the existing conditions analysis.
The Consultant PM will coordinate with the City PM to develop a tour route for the Civic
Core and Downtown Business District site visit and surrounding areas of interest.
Consultant assumes that the City will lead the tour and overall development of the
route, including transportation for the tour. Following the site visit, the Consultant team
will complete an urban design analysis of development sites, public facilities, civic

spaces, streets and exterior building façades within the Civic Core—including photos,
annotated maps and other products into a “form book” that can be placed onto the
project website for the public viewing. The map book will also document the
pedestrian environment, building usage, on and off-street parking, lighting,
landscaping, pedestrian and bicycle amenities, and other materials and elements.
Consultant assumes that the City will provide the relevant background information in
electronic or hardcopy format (CD/DVD or file transfer is acceptable).
Task 1 Deliverables:
• Kickoff meeting agenda, meeting attendance and facilitation;
• Kickoff Meeting Summary and form-book
2 Public Engagement and Communications
2.1 Project Website and Periodic Updates
Consultant will design, launch, host and maintain an interac tive and image-oriented
projec t website with project tagline and logo that allows users to sign-up for automatic
email notific ations when new projec t information is pos ted on the website, review the
latest infor mation, download public doc uments related to the projec t and provide
projec t input both generally and through rotating, targeted questions and surveys. The
project site will also include links to information about existing city activities in the Civic
Core and Downtown Business District.
Consultant will update the website as new project information becomes available
during the project, particularly at major milestones and events. The City may at times
assist in writing copy for and providing updates to the website. Consultant will maintain
comment logs throughout the duration of the project.
2.2 Social Media and Communications
Consultant will craft an overall social media strategy and postings for use in the City’s
existing social media resources, including publicity materials and news releases for
project-related public events that the City will distribute via its existing communications
system.
2.3 Draft Public Engagement and Communications Plan
Consultant will develop a Public Engagement and Communications Plan that identifies
the tools, techniques and anticipated timing for major events during the project. The
goal of the Public Engagement and Communications Plan is to identify tools and
implementation measures for a variety of interactive communications and public
engagement techniques to reach a broad cross-section of the community, business
and property owners in the Civic Core, including traditionally underrepresented
community members.
The Consultant PM will coordinate with the City PM to collaborate on existing events
within the City and the major tasks of the project, including identifying and
implementing social media outreach for each public event and project news releases.
The goal of this scheduling is to take advantage of existing City activities. Consultant will

Renton Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan: Draft Scope (09/28/2016)
MIG
Page 3 of 17
develop a storefront studio concept to be housed in the Civic Core for the duration of
the project. City will identify and secure the space.
Consultant will assist the City in identifying community members and technical experts
as part of the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) and Technical Advisory
Committee (TAC) to provide guidance on project deliverables. The CAC is assumed
to include representatives from businesses, property owners, non-profits, residents and
other parties having an interest in the Civic Core and Downtown Business District. The
TAC is assumed to include City department, public agency, service provider and
regulatory representatives that can provide technical guidance on deliverables.
Consultant and City will develop a matrix to identify group composition, roles and
responsibilities of the advisory groups and other stakeholders that may be formed for
the project, and when they will be involved.
2.4 Final Public Engagement and Communications Plan
Based on City staff input, the Consultant will make necessary changes to the Draft Plan
and provide the City with a Final Public Engagement and Communications Plan.
Task 2 Deliverables:
• Project website, content and maintenance
• Draft and final Public Engagement and Communications plan
• Social media and communications materials
3 Evaluate Baseline Conditions
3.1 Confidential Stakeholder/Focus Group Meetings
Consultant will facilitate up to 10 confidential stakeholder or focus group meetings with
developers, existing businesses, and organizations within the Civic Core and Downtown
Business District. Consultant will coordinate with the City to identify and contact
stakeholders or focus groups to interview. Consultant assumes that meetings will occur
within a single meeting window, as possible. Meetings results will be documented with a
summary of general issues from the meetings identified to maintain confidentiality.
3.2 Draft Baseline/Opportunities and Constraints Memorandum
Using information provided by the City, Consultant will review relevant documents
relating to the Civic Core, pulling salient information into a summary document that
describes the important conditions in the area. After the data is compiled, Consultant
will complete an audit of the information, with the goal of identifying potential issues
and design considerations that should be evaluated with the City and public. The Draft
Baseline Memorandum will include a summary of baseline conditions and incorporate
the elements described below in technical appendices.
3.2.1 Land Use and Regulatory Conditions
Consultant will summarize the following documents to identify policies and code that
apply in the Civic Core:
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)

MIG
Page 4 of 17
• 2015 Comprehensive Plan
• 2011 City Center Community Plan
• Renton Municipal Code
This analysis will identify what items in those documents will support the Civic Core. This
analysis will also summarize the current design regulations, noting opportunities for new
design guidelines and standards. The analysis will also address code requirements as
they affect development characteristics and how they relate to business and market
trends in downtown areas, including allowed uses, minimum and maximum building
envelopes, lot coverage, building orientation, street access, parking, pedestrian
connections to buildings and landscaping. Consultant will prepare (in an appendix) an
annotated version of the applicable plan and code sections, so there is a review for
use in subsequent tasks and drafting of the proposed amendments.
3.2.2 Physical Conditions
Using City-provided GIS information and site visits, Consultant shall produce annotated
existing conditions maps and compile them into one summary document that displays
the following information and context:
• Impervious surface
• Tree canopy
• Transportation and access, including bicycle facilities, transit routes and stops,
and sidewalks/pathways
• Parks and open space
• Connections to regional public facilities including trails, libraries and transit
• Vacant and underutilized parcels and other known redevelopment opportunity
sites
• Blank wall conditions
• Projects identified in the current Transportation System Plan
• Comprehensive Plan designations and zoning districts
• Sensitive lands, including wetlands and waterways
• Gas, communications (fiber and cable) and power
• Location of existing sewer, water and storm water utilities

3.2.3 Public Use Analysis
Consultant will conduct public use analysis using an Affordance Index to understand
how the existing public spaces are currently being used, by how many people, for what
purposes. User analysis will be based on a combination of time-lapse photography and
behavior mapping, as well as data anecdotal information available from the City or
stakeholders. Consultant will conduct a study that looks at weekday, weekend, day
and evening conditions of key civic and recreation areas. Consultant will identify
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
Renton Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan: Draft Scope (09/28/2016)
MIG
Page 5 of 17
perceptions and potential solutions through stakeholder interviews of public safety
within the Civic Core and Downtown Business District.
The audit will count affordances in different categories in the public realm and
streetscape as well as on private properties and buildings fronting the civic spaces.
Using the site documentation and assessment completed during the site tour, MIG will
map the public realm and adjacent private realm (building) affordances that
encourage people to stay and engage these spaces. The deliverable for this task will
identify potential opportunities to attract people to the Civic Core beyond the use of
public spaces.
3.2.4 Public Facility Assessment
Consultant will assess the parking structure and other publicly-owned assets such as the
Pavilion Event Center, Piazza, Gateway Park, Transit Center area and former Big 5
Sporting Goods location to understand the following:
• A detailed review of existing ownership and management structures for these
locations
• A detailed review of revenue, expenditures, and other financial components of
each facility
• Interviews with operational and management staff to identify issues and
opportunities
• Case studies of best practices in asset management from elsewhere
• An assessment of the programs, events, and activities that take place within
each facility, with an eye for identifying opportunities to leverage
complementary uses.
The outcome of this task will include a matrix or similar deliverable that articulates the
current state of operations and potential opportunities for these public facilities. This
information will serve as the basis for future strategies and business planning as part of
the Civic Core Vision and Action Plan developed in Task 6.
3.3 Market Analysis
Consultant will prepare a market analysis that assembles critical baseline data about
how real estate and demographic conditions and trends impact what is possible in
Downtown. Generally, the analysis will provide broad findings at the downtown level
and will make more specific findings, where appropriate, for the Civic Core. This will
include an assessment of:
• Real estate conditions and trends using CoStar and other data to assess current
inventory, lease rates, absorption, and trends for retail, office, and multifamily
residential uses in the downtown
• Vacant parcels and store fronts
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)

• Demographic conditions, including population, income, education, household
size, age and trends forecasts (from PSRC)
• Employment analysis, including number of jobs, by sector, commute patterns,
wages
• Retail analysis that identifies most appropriate/feasible retail types for downtown
Renton, generally, and the Civic Core, specifically
• Long-term trends in housing, retail, and employment
• Meetings with brokers and other local real estate professionals to better
understand local market dynamics
• Incorporate input from downtown property and business owner interviews
completed in Task 3.1 to supplement the information collected, specifically
including a meeting or workshop with the Downtown stakeholders to discuss their
priorities for retail development in the downtown
• Recruitment strategies to attract targeted retailers to the Civic Core.
Anticipated outcomes of the analysis will identify demographic trends and their impact
on consumer behavior, including a broader discussion of the impact of generational
shifts; changes in the workplace; regional trends shaping Renton’s position in the
marketplace and competitive position (strengths and weaknesses) relative to the
region; and identification of gaps and opportunities that the Renton Civic Core is
particularly well situated to capture. This will include a characterization of potential
opportunities in terms of target land use types (e.g. office, multifamily housing, senior
housing, retail) and identification and quantification of potential realistic as well as
aspirational development opportunities and potential.
3.4 Transportation Analysis
3.4.1 Transit Evaluation
Consultant will begin the transit evaluation by meeting with King County Metro and
Sound Transit. Consultant will provide a summary document using data from King
County Metro and Sound Transit to identify the following:
• Transit routes serving the Civic Core and Downtown
• Transit boarding map within the Downtown area
• Transit markets based on Sound Transit Ridership Model data
• Transit transfer activity at major transit hubs in Central Renton, including the
Transit Center, South Renton Park-and-Ride and the Sunset/Hardie/Rainier
Avenue area
• Current transit accessibility to jobs and employment using the Accessibility
method from the King County Long Range Plan
Based on this data, Consultant will analyze transit markets, boarding, and transfer data
to identify the most important transit routes to keep service to the Civic Core as
opposed to routes that could be shifted to South Renton Park and Ride. To support this
task, we envision one meeting with Metro staff to understand their needs related to
layover space and driver restroom facilities. In addition, the Consultant anticipates
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
Renton Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan: Draft Scope (09/28/2016)
MIG
Page 7 of 17
working with Metro to develop a “transit rider’s panel” that will ask Renton transit riders
about how they use transit in the Civic Core and what works and what could be better.
This panel input will also be considered when evaluating route structures, park-and-ride,
and stop locations.
The information from this analysis will inform the Transportation recommendations for the
Civic Core in Task 6.
Following the baseline analysis, Consultant will identify logical routing and route end
points (for those routes that end in Renton) to balance transit access with the desire to
open up curb space in the Civic Core for other uses. The result of this analysis will be a
revised conceptual transit routing map. This map will be developed assuming one- to
two-way conversions will be completed as planned.
In addition to identifying the future transit service to retain in the Civic Core, Consultant
will prepare conceptual layouts for bus stops in the Civic Core/Downtown to replace
the functionality currently provided at the Transit Center and a conceptual layout of
the South Renton Park-and-Ride that identifies bus layover spaces and a location for a
driver restroom facility. The South Renton Park-and-Ride layout will focus on what can
be accommodated in an interim situation, assuming that Sound Transit or King County
Metro will eventually identify a full plan for a new permanent replacement to the
Renton Transit Center in the vicinity of Grady Way/Rainier Ave.
Consultant will re-evaluate transit accessibility under the revised routing scenario and
compare to existing conditions to identify any potential gaps or reductions in transit
access. This analysis will also quantify the changes in service hours related to the re-
route. The final deliverable from the transit analysis will include a revised set of potential
routes, transit accessibility results, conceptual layouts for transit stops/bus zones in the
Civic Core, a layout for South Renton Park-and-Ride (that includes layover and driver
restrooms), and a summary of Renton’s major transit markets. Planning level cost
estimates will also be prepared for new bus stops in the Civic Core and the
improvements at South Renton Park-and-Ride.
In addition, the Consultant will develop a Park-and-Ride strategy for the Civic Core. The
park-and-ride strategy will cover the Municipal Garage and the Metropolitan Place
TOD and will include involvement from Metro to understand the restrictions and
conditions on the Civic Core park-and-ride spaces. The goal of the Park-and-Ride
strategy will be to determine the role of Park-and-Ride in the Civic Core, understand the
costs of moving park-and-ride spaces from the area that could include replacement
parking, lease renegotiation, or grant payback. The Park-and-Ride analysis will be
coordinated with the Parking Plan, described below.
The information from this analysis will inform the Transportation recommendations for the
Civic Core in Task 6.
3.4.2 Parking Evaluation
AGENDA ITEM #7. c)
Renton Downtown Civic Core Vision and Action Plan: Draft Scope (09/28/2016)
MIG
Page 8 of 17
Consultant will work with the City to obtain an inventory of city-owned parking facilities
(on and off-street) in Downtown area. Midday and PM peak period parking utilization of
city-owned facilities will be documented and a sample of parking turnover will be
identified for up to 20 on-street spaces located throughout the Civic Core and
Downtown. The results of the parking inventory and analysis will be documented and
based on these results, potential strategies will be identified related to manage parking
access throughout the Downtown and Civic Core areas. Working with the entire team,
Consultant will identify if there is excess city-owned parking and devise options for the
City to redevelop some underutilized parking spaces, even if that means shifting
demand from one area to another. Recommendations on minimum/maximum parking
requirements, enforcement, time limits, and meters will be included in the analysis. This
task will include up to three meetings with Renton staff to gather and review information
with enforcement, community services and transportation staff. This Parking Plan will
cover the entire Renton Downtown Business District area.
3.4.3 Active Transportation Connections
Consultant will review the Trails Bicycle Master Plan, Sidewalk Study and Draft
Downtown Streetscape Design Standards and Guidelines. streetscape standards to
map opportunities and constraints for walking and biking in the study area. Based on
the inventory and analysis, the team will work to identify opportunities to:
• Enhance bicycle connections between Downtown and the Civic Core and the
regional trails and surrounding neighborhoods
• Identify areas with suboptimal pedestrian facilities, including sidewalk width,
landscaping, traffic buffering, and crossings of major streets
• Connections to major landmarks and public facilities
The final result of the Active Transportation analysis will be a set of recommended
improvements to improve the walkability and bicycling environment of the Civic Core.
This analysis will take into consideration, and where appropriate, suggest improvements
to the planned two-way conversions of the streets in the Downtown area.
3.5 Infrastructure Analysis
Consultant will coordinate with the City’s Public Works Department and private
providers to identify specific sewer, water, gas, fiber, power and stormwater
infrastructure located within the Civic Core and Downtown Business District boundary.

PUBLIC HEARING
a) Extending Interim Zoning Regarding Limit on Number of Marijuana Retail Businesses: This
being the date set and proper notice having been posted and published in accordance with
local and State laws, Mayor Law opened the public hearing to consider extending interim
zoning regarding a limit on the number of marijuana retail businesses.
Long Range Planning Manager Angie Mathias reported that Council adopted interim zoning
setting the maximum number of retail marijuana stores at five on October 5, 2015. She
explained that the interim zoning is effective for one year, unless it is renewed and that the
renewal requires a public hearing.
Ms. Mathias clarified that the reason the interim zoning was established was due to the
September 2015 decision made by the Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB)establishing that a
new application period for retail stores would open, and there would not be a limit to the
number stores allowed perjurisdiction due to the consolidation of inedical marijuana stores
with recreational marijuana stores. In January of 2016, the LCB retracted that statement,
limiting the number of stores per jurisdiction, and allocating six stores as the total allowable
number of stores for the City of Renton.
Following two briefings, a public hearing, and deliberations,the Planning Commission and City
staff recommended keeping the maximum number of stores allowed in Renton at five.This
zoning would become effective through the adoption of Ordinance No. 5816 (see belowJ,
which, if adopted,will become effective on November 6, 2016. However, City Attorney Larry
Warren explained that the adoption of this proposed interim zoning ordinance would need to
be adopted via two readings this evening as an emergency ordinance,so as to avoid a gap in
zoning regulations where six stores would be allowable. Public Comment was invited.
Following this clarification, and there being no public comment, it was

Renton City:636 Bank Foredosures
All too often when homes in your community go into foreclosure,they become headaches for officials. It's
difficult—often times impossible—to get a person on the phone who can help officials to be responsive
to citizen complaints. Simple tasks like getting the grass cut, maintaining the outside or fixing a window
become impossible to achieve due to endless phone chains and the run-around.
This is why a foreclosure registry will benefit your community. Requiring foreclosing entities to register
each property with a local point of contact who can be accountable when things go wrong, is a vital
element when combating neighborhood blight.
I work for a company called Community Champions. Our company has managed foreclosure registry
programs through our PROCHAMPS solution across the nation for the last decade and has the
experience to get a high registration rate and to manage the process seamlessly for you.
There is a great deal of value in partnering with us on a foreclosure registry program. We know who holds
the notes to foreclosures in your community, we know how to get them to register and we can give your
staff the tools and assistance they need so that foreclosures are no longer a thorn in the side of your code
enforcement efforts.
Currently,there are 636 active bank foreclosures in your community.We are looking to work with
someone in Renton City that wants to take a stand and do something about it.Through the introduction
of a simple ordinance,significant changes can occur quickly in your community's battle against blight
caused by foreclosures. On your behalf, we will be proactive throughout the foreclosure process and work
diligently to get results for you.
Our program is fully funded by registration fees—so no out of pocket costs. My contact information is
below,feel free to call me any time to get a free community assessment and learn how you can be a
policy shaper and combat foreclosure blight in Renton City.
Sincerely,
�'s
