INABILITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL TO TAKE TESTIMONY ON APPEALS DURING THE CITY
COUNCIL MEETING
State law requires that the City establish a process to handle appeals from application of environmental and
developmental rules and regulations. The Renton City Council, feeling it was best for the elected
representatives to handle the appeals rather than require citizens to go to court, has retained appellate
jurisdiction to itself.
The courts have held that the City Council, while sitting as an appellate body, is acting as a quasi-judicial
body and must obey rules of procedure of a court more than that of a political body.
By City Code, and by State law, the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. The parties
to the appeal have had an opportunity to address their arguments to the Planning & Development
Committee of the City Council at a meeting previously held. Because of the court requirements prohibiting
the City Council from considering new evidence, and because all parties have had an opportunity to address
their concerns to the Planning & Development Committee, the City Council may not consider oral or written
testimony at the City Council meeting. The Council understands that this is frustrating to citizens and is
outside the normal process of open discourse provided to citizenry during the audience comment portion of
the City Council meeting. However, this burden of not allowing the Council to be addressed concerning
pending appeals is outweighed by the quick, easy, inexpensive and local appeal process provided by the
Renton City Council.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Jane Lamensdorf-Bucher, Watershed Coordinator; Jean White, Early Action
ESA: WRIA 8 Draft Chinook Projects Coordinator; and Sally King, Land Use Coordinator; with King County
Salmon Conservation Plan Water Resource Inventory Area 8 (WRIA 8) gave a presentation on the Draft
Chinook Salmon Conservation Plan for the Lake
Washington/Cedar/Sammamish Watershed. Ms. Lamensdorf-Bucher stated
that salmon in the watershed are threatened. Puget Sound Chinook and Bull
Trout are listed on the Federal Endangered Species Act, and Puget Sound Colic,
are a candidate for possible listing. She noted that one of the reasons for the
decline in salmon is habitat degradation and loss.
Ms. Lamensdorf-Bucher explained that the main bodies of water in WRIA 8 are
the Cedar River Basin, Sammamish River Basin, Lake Washington, Lake
Sammamish, and Puget Sound Nearshore. She detailed the related efforts of
WRIA 9 and Puget Sound Shared Strategy, and explained that WRIA 8 is made
up of the Steering Committee, which oversees development of the plan, and the
Lake Washington/Cedar/Sammamish Watershed Forum, which reviews and
approves the plan.
Reporting that the public review draft of the plan will be released on November
12th, Ms. Lamensdorf-Bucher reviewed the content of the plan and the
recommendations for implementation, noting the importance of local
government input. After public and local review, the final Chinook plan will be
submitted to the WRIA 8 Forum in February 2005, and then to the jurisdictions
in May 2005. She indicated that Federal and State funding sources can be
better influenced by working together as a unified watershed.
Continuing, Ms. White discussed the habitat protection and restoration projects
that are recommended in this area. Explaining that the lower Cedar River and
Southern Lake Washington areas are very important for the Chinook, she
pointed out that restoring conditions in Lake Washington are as beneficial as
restoring the lower Cedar River. Ms. White detailed the current habitat
conditions and made recommendations as to how to improve the conditions for
November 8, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 389
the various sections in this area, including the Maplewood Reach 4 (SR-169
area), Cedar River Reach 2 (Logan Ave. to I405), Cedar River Reach 3 (1-405
to SR-169), mouth of the Cedar River Mouth to Logan Ave. (Reach 1), and
Southern Lake Washington.
Continuing, Ms. King reviewed land use actions, and pointed out that they
should be voluntary, should build on existing efforts such as the Growth
Management Act and critical areas ordinances, should focus on incentives, and
should encourage growth in urban areas. Listing the land use recommendations
for the lower Cedar River area, she noted that Renton's efforts to encourage
growth and revitalize its urban center helps protect rural salmon habitat.
Recommendations for land use include enforcement, encouraging
redevelopment restoration through regulatory flexibility and incentives, and
using tools such as stormwater management, clustering, and low impact
development for riparian areas and forest cover and open space.
Ms. King listed the land use action recommendations for the southern Lake
Washington shorelines, which include protecting the remaining shoreline
through critical areas ordinances and the Shoreline Master Program, prohibiting
new bulkheads, and following NOAA Fisheries (National Marine Fisheries
Service) salmon -friendly dock guidelines. In conclusion, Ms. Lamensdorf-
Bucher expressed her appreciation with Renton's involvement in the
development of the salmon conservation plan.
Councilman Clawson, who represents the City in this effort, stated that the
speakers have been responsive to Renton's concerns. He stressed that
recovering the Chinook salmon in this urban area is very challenging, and it
will take a group effort. Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington stated that
a lot of work went into this plan, and noted that the region and the State will
benefit from the work that has been done.
PUBLIC HEARINGS This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Planning: Planned Action accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
(Lakeshore Landing), Boeing public hearing to consider the Lakeshore Landing Planned Action for
Surplus Property redevelopment of the surplus Boeing property located at the south.end of Lake
Washington; Developer: Center Oak Properties, LLC.
Jason Jordan, Senior Planner, described the subject area, which is located north
of N. 8th St., east of Logan Ave. N., and west of Garden Ave. N. He reviewed
the project history as follows:
—Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) completed in October 2003.
—Comprehensive Plan Amendment completed in December 2003.
—The City and Boeing established a development agreement in December 2003.
—The development agreement included a conceptual urban retail plan.
—The conceptual urban retail plan was approved in October 2004.
Mr. Jordan explained that the conceptual plan is approximately 53 to 55 acres,
including the right-of-way area. Approximately eight acres of the site will be
utilized to create new public streets and access ways, including a parkway
design with landscaped medians for the extension of Logan Ave. N., the
realignment of Park Ave. N., and the extension of N. 8th and N. 10th Street.
The developer is proposing high quality retail, office, and residential
opportunities. Mr. Jordan reported that the development will be predominately
retail, designed to Urban Center North Development Standards, and required to
meet the new Urban Center Design Guidelines.
November 8, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 390
Continuing, Mr. Jordan said the conceptual plan ranges from 597,000 to
800,000 square feet, and the potential tenants may include a large format
retailer, a movie theater, and a mix of specialty tenants and restaurants. He also
reviewed the potential building's bulk, size, and scale. Mr. Jordan stated that
staff requests approval of Planned Action legislation, which would be
combined with the approved EIS and development agreement. The legislation
will streamline the permitting process by utilitizing existing environmental
documentation as allowed by RCW 43.21C.031 and WAC 197-11-164, 168,
and 315.
Public comment was invited.
Correspondence was read from Richard D. Zwicker, North Renton
Neighborhood Association President, PO Box 326, Renton, 98057, stating that
the association offers support and assistance in the development of the
Lakeshore Landing project. He noted that the project will be located in one of
the oldest neighborhoods in the City, and asked that care be taken in the
development of properties between N. 6th and N. 8th Streets, which will be the
sole buffer between the neighborhood and the shopping center. Additionally,
Mr. Zwicker asked that Logan Ave. N. be opened and connected to Park Ave.
N., and that the City mitigate the negative impact of the impending
construction.
Ray Giometti, 323 Pelly Ave. N., Renton, 98055, stated that redevelopment of
the Boeing property represents an opportunity for the City of Renton to
establish its vision for responsible growth in the future. However, the future
growth should not negatively impact the City or its residents. Mr. Giometti
asked that North Renton neighborhood be taken into consideration during this
process, and recommended that Logan Ave. N. be extended and opened in the
first phase of development. He expressed concern regarding the peak traffic
figures expressed in the EIS, and the haste at which this project is going
forward. Mr. Giometti indicated that failure to address traffic issues now will
result in future development of the site exceeding original traffic estimates and
creating future traffic problems in the City.
Mike O'Donin, 423 Pelly Ave. N., Renton, 98055, expressed his excitement
about the project, saying it is a great opportunity for the City. Mr. O'Donin
suggested that Logan Ave. N. be opened as soon as possible, and he voiced his
concern about the flow of traffic and the safety of children, noting that people
drive through the surrounding side streets in order to avoid the traffic signals.
George Daniels, 215 Garden Ave. N., Renton, 98055, stated that the North
Renton Neighborhood Association is growing, and the neighborhood wants to
be a part of the development process. He expressed his excitement for the
project, and asked that the City stay on task, stay within the laws, consider the
neighborhood's needs, and grow effectively rather than just grow for the sake of
growth.
Larry Reymann, 1313 N. 38th St., Renton, 98055, stated his hope that the
project interfaces with Gene Coulon Park, and emphasizes and extends the
natural habitat as much as possible. He suggested that the development be
pedestrian friendly, and utilize mass transit to enhance the future of this entire
area.
Fred Bruning, Center Oak Properties President, 649 NW 12th St., Gresham,
OR, 97030, stated his intent to create a very pedestrian -friendly and
November 8, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 391
community -friendly development, and noted that the project is moving forward
quickly due to competition for key tenants. Mr. Bruning said Center Oak
Properties' goals are to: create a project the City of Renton and the community
will be proud of, make sure that the project connects very well with the greater
community, and vitalize the historic downtown area. He stressed that Center
Oak Properties welcomes comments and takes them to heart.
Alex Pietsch, Economic Development Administrator, stated that in the
development agreement with Boeing, the City agreed to construct new roads,
and new water, stormwater, and sewer utility lines. This includes the extension
of Logan Ave. N. to Park Ave. N., which will occur in conjunction with the
construction of this project.

Budget: 2005 Annual City of This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in
Renton accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Keolker-Wheeler opened the
public hearing to consider 2005 City of Renton Preliminary Budget and revenue
sources.
Victoria Runkle, Finance and Information Services Administrator, reported that
the proposed 2005 Budget, in the amount of $149,392,500, is a one percent
increase above the 2004 Budget. The General Governmental Budget, in the
amount of $69,106,300, comprises 46% of the total budget and is a 4.7%
increase above the 2004 Budget. Ms. Runkle pointed out that the general fund
revenues are estimated to be lower than expenditures by $1.1 million, and
available fund balance is anticipated to be used to meet the expenditures.
Continuing, Ms. Runkle stated that the 2005 Budget priorities include
implementation of the REACT and RENSTAT programs, lowering internal
service and management service levels, and changing service levels that can be
provided in a different way. She noted that the enterprise funds (water, sewer,
surface water, solid waste, golf course and airport) comprise 34% of the total
budget. The proposed 2005 Budget includes a 1.6% increase in City water and
sewer service rates, and a pass -through King County waste treatment rate
increase.
Concluding, Ms. Runkle stated that a one percent property tax levy increase is
recommended for 2005, and the 2005 total property tax levy is estimated to be
$21 million. She pointed out that since the total property tax assessed valuation
is decreasing, the City's tax rate will decrease by at least two cents per
thousand.

APPEAL City Attorney Larry Warren noted that some a -mails were sent to the City
Appeal: Sunset Bluff Council related to the appeal of the Sunset Bluff Preliminary plat. He
Preliminary Plat, SR 900 LLC, explained that Council is not allowed to have ex parte communications with
PP-04-002 any parties, and is limited to reviewing material already on record. The City
Attorney then inquired as to whether any Councilmember opinion was swayed
as a result of the e-mail. Not having heard any Councilmember comment, Mr.
Warren stated that no Councilmember was influenced.
Planning & Development Planning and Development Committee Chair Briere presented a majority report
Committee Majority Report regarding the appeal filed by SR 900, LLC of the Sunset Bluff Preliminary Plat
Appeal: Sunset Bluff (PP-04-002). The Committee heard the appeal on 10/21/2004. After reviewing
Preliminary Plat, SR 900 LLC, the record, the written presentations of both parties and hearing oral argument,
PP-04-002 the majority of the Committee found that the evidence submitted by Herons
Forever was too speculative to sustain its burden of proof before the Hearing
Examiner. The majority of the Committee recommended that the full Council
reverse the Hearing. Examiner and affirm the decision of the ERC
(Environmental Review Committee). The Committee further recommended
that the Council adopt the following amended findings and conclusions to the
Hearing Examiner's report and decision dated 8/3/2004.
AMENDED FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
I. Finding of Fact 12. The last sentence is amended to read: "The
southwestern corner of the site (1.08 acres) is zoned RC (Resource
Conservation)."
11. Finding of Fact 27. The third sentence is amended to read: "West is
another RM-I (Residential Multi -Family Infill) district with multiple family
units and industrially zoned property in the City of Renton that is developed and
undeveloped, including a closed quarry site, currently used as a contractor's
office, equipment and material storage, recycling and concrete batching."
111. Finding of Fact 28 is amended to add a sentence: "Ms. Sheldon did no
study of the biological effects of the change in release rate of the retained
stormwater. The retention system was designed according to the King County
manual for detention treatment and controlled release."
IV. Finding of Fact 29 is amended to add a sentence: "Mr. Rozeboom
testified in general terms but without the support of any study or quantitative
analysis of the actual effects of the changes in the hydroperiod."
V. Finding of Fact 31 is amended to read: "Herons Forever's experts have
monitored heron recently and indicated that the birds reacted hostilely to
intrusive activities in both this heronry and in others in the Puget Sound Area.
They suspect that the proposed grading on this property, over 1,000 feet from
the heron colony, might have an impact on the colony. Reports indicate that
birds were flushed and severely disturbed by logging just south of the railroad
tracks at the western edge of the riparian forest, but very near to that colony.
Anecdotal evidence indicates that the development of an office park within 500
feet of the colony may have caused the colony to move to the north and west
and abandon the main nest. This may have also been caused by termination of
blasting at the quarry to the west. One can only speculate as to the cause of the
November 8, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 393
move. One can also only speculate as to the effect on the herons of clearing the
development site. The area does serve as a source of twigs and possibly forage
for food, and this will be eliminated. Work will occur at or above the nesting
level, and maps appear to indicate that this will be out of sight of the nests, and
flying birds will be able to view the clearing. There was no concrete testimony
at the hearing regarding probable significant adverse effects on the herons
caused by upslope clearing at a distance starting at over 1,000 feet of the
heronry."
VI. Finding of Fact 32 is amended to read: "The changes to the seasonal
wetlands were raised as to how the changes would affect the food sources of
the heron. This testimony was based on the conclusion by Mr. Rozeboom that
there would be a risk of significant adverse effects caused by increases in water
depth in the closed depression. This conclusion is not based on any
quantitative analysis. The testimony of the effects on food sources is not based
on a site -specific study."
VII. In Finding of Fact 42, the last sentence is amended to read: "These
visits to the trail may be affecting the herons in some fashion."
VIII. Finding of Fact 43 is amended by striking the 7th sentence and
substituting in its place: "Minor earthwork, such as finish grading, may occur
year round."
IX. Finding of Fact 49 is amended by adding the following: "The increased
runoff volumes from the site would likely increase average depth in the
wetlands by one to two inches in the winter and by less than one inch in the
summer.
Predicted changes in water levels and duration in the depressional wetland
would have only a negligible impact. These conclusions are based on the use of
a King County methodology. Although Dr. McCarthy made certain
assumptions, which may lessen the value of the study, the information remains
unrebutted and is the only quantitative information presented."
X. Finding of Fact 60 is stricken.
XI. Finding of Fact 61 is added, which reads:
"Some historical perspective is necessary. The ERC was aware of this history.
The Black River Riparian Forest has been an existing feature in the area. The
City participated in constructing the P-1 forebay. About the time the forebay
was constructed, the herons were first noticed. Over a period of time the City
sought grants to acquire the Black River Riparian Forest. The City acquired
part of the forest by dedication as part of City approvals. The City used grants
and its own money to negotiate and acquire, in several stages, approximately
100 acres of property encompassing and surrounding the heronry, where it
previously existed and where it is now located. Over $8 million has been
expended on this effort. The City helped create the conditions that attracted the
herons in the first instance, and has expended substantial effort and resources in
protecting the herons and their surroundings."
XII. Conclusion 2, the last sentence is stricken.
XIII. Conclusion 7 is amended by striking the second and third sentence.
XIV. Conclusion 9 is amended by striking the last sentence.
November 8, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 394
XV. Conclusion 10 is amended by adding a sentence, as follows: "Earthwork
shall be limited to the dry months - except for minor earthwork, such as finish
grading."
XVI. Conclusions 11 through 28 are stricken
XVII. A new Conclusion 11 is added: "The burden of proof is on Herons
Forever. As previously stated, the decision of the ERC is entitled to substantial
weight. While its good intentions are not questioned, the testimony of Herons
Forever was, in great part, based upon speculation. There is a lot that is
unknown about the behavior of herons and what might affect them, but that
field of study is far beyond what could be required of this developer. In
general, the developer presented studies of the proposal, while Herons Forever
responded by criticizing the studies and presented general, non -site specific
testimony. Herons Forever's site -specific testimony was of logging and
building occurrences which were much closer to the heronry than the proposed
development."
XVIII. The Decision is amended to read: "The decision of the ERC is
affirmed."*
Planning & Development Planning & Development Committee Vice Chair Clawson presented a minority
Committee Minority Report report regarding the appeal filed by SR 900, LLC of the Sunset Bluff
Appeal: Sunset Bluff Preliminary Plat (PP-04-002). I respectfully dissent from the report of the
Preliminary Plat, SR 900 LLC, majority of the Committee and recommend that the Council affirm the decision
PP-04-002 of the Hearing Examiner and require an EIS (Environmental Impact Statement).
Herons Forever presented testimony of qualified experts who stated their
opinions that the project as proposed would be likely to disturb the heron
colony in ways that would diminish the productivity and could result in the
herons abandoning nests in the Black River Riparian Forest over time. SR 900
LLC's experts disagreed with these experts and stated that the impacts would be
minimal.
The Hearing Examiner considered the evidence and made findings of fact. In
general, he merely summarized the conflicting testimony of the experts without
deciding which expert gave the most credible opinion. He did specifically
determine that the testimony of SR 900 LLC's primary expert, Dr. Ken Raedke,
who wrote the report submitted to the ERC, appeared to lack scientific basis
and was not credible. Dr. Raedke testified that herons in general are not
disturbed by human activities near their nests, and that the development would
have no significant impact on the heron colony.
Dr. Raedke's resume shows that he is an expert on deer and elk, not herons. He
mainly relied on a masters thesis written over ten years ago by a masters
student, Ms. Stabins. Other researchers attempting to verify her nest counts
have not validated her research. He also cited studies from other states and
Canada rather than local studies.
In contrast, Herons Forever presented Kate Stenberg, Ph.D., a heron expert who
has monitored herons in the Puget Sound region and specifically at the Black
River Riparian Forest, and Patricia Thompson, a wildlife biologist with
Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. Their testimony was
specific to Western Washington and to the Black River heron colony. Dr.
Stenberg and Ms. Thompson demonstrated much greater familiarity with the
November 8, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 395
research on herons that Dr. Raedke. They described a dramatic decline of
heron colonies in King County, while the Black River colony has thrived.
Dr. Stenberg identified specific impacts that were not considered by the ERC.
Increased runoff and lawn chemicals from the development may disturb the
large wetland on the development where the herons feed, and nesting trees may
be killed. Noise construction noise will be more intense because the
development is above the nesting area. A construction season limitation to
avoid disturbance during nesting was not considered by the ERC.
Ms. Thompson recommended a site -specific management plan designed with
the assistance of her department so that after construction the impacts of pets
and people from the development could be minimized.
Dyane Sheldon, a wetlands biologist, stated that the change in runoff from the
development could change the timing as well as volume of water feeding
wetlands on and off the development that needs to be assessed and was not
considered by the ERC. Bill Rozeboom testified that further studies of water
runoff volumes are needed.
The majority of this Committee concluded that this evidence is "too speculative
to sustain [Heron Forever's] burden of proof." But it is SR 900 LLC, not
Herons Forever, which has the burden of proof at this hearing. It must show
that the Hearing Examiner made a substantial error of fact or law. Otherwise,
the Hearing Examiner's decision must stand.
SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act) law requires an EIS unless all of the
likely significant adverse impacts have been considered first. An adverse
impact does not need to be proved with exact certainty. WAC 197-11-330
specifically states that "several marginal impacts when considered together may
result in a significant adverse impact," and that "for some proposals, it may be
impossible to forecast the environmental impacts with precision, often because
some variables cannot be predicted or values cannot be quantified." The WAC
recognizes that a development proposal may involve "unique and unknown
risks to the environment." Scientific knowledge of Great Blue Herons is in its
early stages, and it is not reasonable to expect exact predictions of the effect of
the development on the Black River colony.
The Hearing Examiner's conclusions were carefully crafted based on his
findings of fact, applying his extensive knowledge of SEPA law. He
specifically listed the likely impacts on the ecosystem that the herons rely on
from construction and occupation of the development. He required only a
limited review of five issues so that experts under supervision of City staff
could weigh the conflicting testimony and provide information needed so that
the project can go forward while protecting the herons. After the EIS, SR 900
LLC will have further opportunity to appeal any mitigation measures it may
find unreasonable.
The Hearing Examiner did not make a substantial error of fact or law. The
Council should affirm his decision.
*MOVED BY BRIERE, SECONDED BY PERSSON, COUNCIL CONCUR
IN THE MAJORITY COMMITTEE REPORT*
Councilman Corman reported that he was impressed with both reports, and
stated that the minority report seems to acknowledge the Hearing Examiner's
November 8, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 396
path wherein this project could go forward but there is an intent to get an EIS
that does not currently exist.
Councilman Clawson agreed, explaining the only decision that was reversed
was whether or not there should be an EIS to resolve some of the conflicting
testimony of the experts. The EIS would resolve the conflicting testimony, and
then the project could move forward with mitigation that would address those
concerns.
Mr. Corman stated that this project is likely to require the EIS, whether it is
decided by the Council or King County Superior Court.
Councilmember Briere emphasized that the ERC did a thorough job of looking
at the project, and recommended certain mitigation measures. She agreed that
the testimony was conflicting.
Mr. Clawson explained that Dr. Stenberg submitted a letter to the ERC;
however, her testimony before the Hearing Examiner was much more detailed.
Also, the ERC did not have the analysis of the runoff and biology issues. He
stated that the question is "how much different information is there?" Stressing
that he spent many hours studying the record, Councilmember Clawson detailed
examples of information that was considered by the Hearing Examiner but not
by the ERC. He concluded that the Hearing Examiner had substantially more
information than the ERC.
Councilman Corman stated that he is supportive of the herons, and noted the
Council did support expending monies to acquire the forest. He recognized that
development will occur; however, what is to be determined is the path that
leads to the development. Mr. Corman voiced his support for the minority
report.
Councilwoman Briere explained that the Planning and Development Committee
has reviewed this project over the years, and a development agreement exists
between the City and SR 900 LLC. Thus, many of the issues have already been
looked at. She pointed out that the project was originally going to be multi-
storied apartment complexes, and now the proposal consists of substantial
buffers surrounding single-family homes. Ms. Briere stated that the herons are
acknowledged by making the project as small as it is.
Councilman Clawson commented on the testimony received, noting that it was
very confusing. He reviewed the law, and the court cases cited by the Hearing
Examiner in his report. He detailed his interpretation of the WAC sections that
pertain to these issues, and quoted WAC 197-11-330(5) "Threshold
Determination Process," which is about whether an EIS is needed, and WAC
197-11-782 'Probable," which defines probable as "likely or reasonably likely
to occur." Stating that not a lot is known about the herons, Mr. Clawson
emphasized that it would be a significant environmental impact if some or all of
the herons were to stop nesting in the forest, or if their productivity dropped.
He added that there is uncertainty, the situation is unique, and it has not been
studied.
Councilwoman Briere stated that the testimony revealed a number of things that
could affect the herons that might not have anything to do with this project.
She pointed out that the rookery is surrounded on three sides with industry, and
an office development is located within 500 feet. The subject project is located
1,000 feet away from the rookery, and is significantly smaller than some of the
November 8, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 397
surrounding developments. She noted that the belief that this project would
have more impact on the herons than what already exists near the site did not
seem right.

Citizen Comment: Kerr - habitat conversation, pointing out that salmon are a resource and they need an
Habitat Preservation assured continuance of healthy water and good habitat. Noting that some
communities do not value habitat, she stated that in the future people will come
here from all over the world to see the salmon -filled rivers and the heron
rookery. Additionally, Ms. Kerr stated that development does have negative
effect on the habitat, and she encouraged the City to think about the future and
the value of this resource.
Citizen Comment: Johnson - Diane Johnson, 3042 Garlough Ave. SW, Seattle, 98116, stated that she works
Sunset Bluff Preliminary Plat in Renton, and noted that the City's gateway sign on SW Grady Way depicts a
Appeal, SR 900 LLC, PP-04- heron. She explained that although she is not opposed to development, it is
002 important that the development not disturb the heron colony at Black River
Riparian Forest. Ms. Johnson described how much she enjoys the forest, and
requested that the development's impact on the environment be studied, and that
the developer mitigate impacts to the heron's habitat. She pointed out that the
forest is an economic and natural asset for Renton.
November 8, 2004 Renton City Council Minutes Page 398
Citizen Comment: Krom - Susan Krom, PO Box 16155, Seattle, 98116, representing Herons Forever,
Sunset Bluff Preliminary Plat expressed her disappointment in the Council's decision regarding the appeal of
Appeal, SR 900 LLC, PP-04- the Sunset Bluff Preliminary Plat. She stated that Herons Forever will now
002 consider taking this matter to Superior Court. Ms. Krom explained that her
efforts to protect the heron colony are so that future generations can enjoy this
remarkable treasure, and pointed out that the population of this particular sub-
species of heron is in decline.
Citizen Comment: Ryan - Colin Ryan, 6715 S. 122nd St., Seattle, 98178, stated his support for the type of
Planned Action (Lakeshore development that is going to be built on the surplus Boeing property. He stated
Landing), Boeing Surplus that the project appears that it will become a core area rather than throughways
Property such as the Southcenter area in Tukwila. He indicated that it is good to locate
developments which combine retail, office, and residential near downtown
areas, rather than just retail development. Mr. Ryan added that he also supports
the protection of herons.
Citizen Comment: Mega - Matt Mega, 8050 35th Ave. NE, Seattle, 98115, representing Seattle Audubon,
Habitat Preservation
stated that many land use strategies were discussed during the WRIA 8
presentation to protect salmon habitat and water quality. He pointed out that
retrofitting neighborhoods to meet this end is expensive, and it is more practical
to employ these strategies prior to development. Mr. Mega explained that
although it is challenging to balance private development and habitat
preservation, it can be achieved, especially if Renton has high standards and
demands high quality projects from developers.

What Science is Saying
. Lower Cedar River and Southern Lake
Washington are very important for
Chinook
. Maplewood area (SR-169 to upstream
of landslide) highest ranked for
protection
. Between Logan and I-405 & I-405 to
SR-169 are highest ranked reaches for
restoration
A What Science is Saying, cont.
. South end of Lake Washington (Colman
Pt. to Skyway) highest ranked for
restoration in Lake Washington
. Restoring conditions in Lake
Washington are as beneficial as
restoring Lower Cedar River
Maplewood Reach
. Most important area to maintain, current
habitat conditions
. Dynamic habitat -forming processes
. Instream wood
. Mature riparian vegetation
. Pools, side channel and backwater areas
for resting, refuge
_W Maplewood Reach, cont.
. Recommendations:
. Protect existing riparian habitat and
instream wood; underplant cottonwoods
with conifers
. Study options to protect habitat and
reduce Flooding and erosion in Ron Regis
Park such as setback levee and LWD
. Study modifications to Elliot Levee
2
Cedar River within Downtown
. Conditions are pretty constrained
between Logan St. and I-405 (Reach 2)
. Recommendations:
. Protect and maintain existing riparian
vegetation
. Add riparian vegetation where possible
. Explore redevelopment options to improve
habitat and increase riparian buffer
3
Cedar River Reach 3
. More opportunity between I-405 and
SR-169
. Some easy, some hard
. City of Renton parkland protects all of
left bank in reach
Cedar River Reach 3, cont.
r.
. Recommendations
. Protect riparian vegetation in parkland;
riparian restoration if needed
. Improve conditions on right bank: reduce
bank hardening, restore riparian buffer,
plant vegetation, reduce impervious
surfaces
. Areas of industrial use, multi -family
residential use and Maplewood
neighborhood
12
Cedar River Mouth to Logan St.
• Reach 1 is not as highly ranked
. Recommendations
. More riparian vegetation, particularly
overhanging vegetation
. Explore opportunities to improve habitat,
increase riparian buffer, reduce impervious
surface in industrial area
. Explore removing bridges if no longer
needed.
A Southern Lake Washington
. Heavily used by juvenile Chinook
leaving Cedar River
. Juvenile Chinook need:
. Sandy, shallow beaches with instream
wood and overhanging vegetation
. Restored small creek mouths
. Fewer bulkheads, docks
5
Southern Lake Washington,
cont.
. Recommendations:
. Shoreline restoration on WDNR property as
part of City of Renton trail project
. Work with property owners throughout
area to remove bulkheads, restore shallow
water habitat, reduce number of docks
. Enhance mouths and lower reaches of
Johns and Kennydale Creeks within Gene
Coulon Park
1.1
Southern Lake Washington,
Cont.
. Restoring shallow water habitat doesn't
have to be fish versus people
• Swimming beaches are not a conflict
with Chinook, people and fish don't use
them at the same time

Land Use Actions
Steering Committee Guidance
. Land use actions should be voluntary
. Build on existing efforts (GMA, CAO,
stormwater permits)
. Focus on incentives
. Encourage growth in urban areas
Land Use Recommendations
in Lower Cedar River
. Support Renton's goal to encourage growth
and revitalize urban center — also helps to
protect rural salmon habitat
. Protection: continue to protect salmon
habitat function in riparian areas through
Critical Areas Ordinance, Shoreline Master
Program
. Importance of enforcement, variances
Land Use Recommendations

. Restoration: encourage restoration
during redevelopment, through
regulatory flexibility and incentives
. Redevelopment supports multiple goals:
aesthetic, public safety, economic,
salmon habitat

Subject: RE: WRIA 8 Draft Chinook Plan Briefing for Renton City Council
Jane,
Your presentation last night was A+. You covered everything with the right
amount of detail for the time allowed. The pictures and information on
possible actions for specific reaches of the Cedar in Renton gave the
Council an idea of what the plan means to this city. That we can keep our
100 foot buffer under the current proposal should reassure Council Members
with concerns that recovery will strangle development. Of course there may
be other concerns but the buffers are always at the top of the list.
You would be surprised how many Renton residents watch the Council meetings
every Monday night. We had a full agenda or you would have had more
questions. As it was the meeting did not adjourn until 10 p.m.
I look forward to Nov 16 and hope that we get a good turnout. Thanks again.

Development Services Division;, (425) 430-7219
ISSUE:
The City of Renton's Development Services Division is requesting approval of
Planned Action legislation, which would be combined with the Boeing Renton
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
completed in October of 2003. The approval of Planned Action legislation would
streamline the permitting process by utilizing existing environmental
documentation, as allowed by RCW 43.21 C.031 and WAC 197-11-164, 168 and
315.
As a result of approving Planned Action legislation, the applicant would be
required to submit an environmental consistency analysis with each phase of the
project and receive subsequent approvals from the City's Environmental Review
Committee (ERC). The consistency analysis would be required as individual
master plans and/or site plans are proposed. In addition, the adoption of
Planned Action legislation provides added entitlement and 'scheduling
predictability as the developer (Center Oak Properties, LLC) begins to prepare
for the redevelopment of the 55-acre site.
Center Oak Properties has prepared two conceptual site plans (attached), which
depict two final retail build -outs ranging from 597,000 square feet to 800,000
square feet of gross leasable area. Buildings would generally range from 26 feet
to 58 feet in height, with a few isolated towers of approximately 85 feet in height.
Potential tenants may include a large format retailer, a specialty grocery market,
a movie theater, and a mix of high quality national, regional, and local specialty
tenants and restaurants.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Services Division is recommending that the City Council adopt
Planned Action legislation in order to use the existing Boeing Renton
Comprehensive Plan Amendment EIS as the SEPA environmental document for
the redevelopment of the Lakeshore Landing site.

Re: Center Oak Properties, Lakeshore Landing Project
Dear Madam Mayor and Honorable Councilmembers:
For the record, the North Renton Neighborhood Association offers its support and
assistance in the development of the Lakeshore Landing project. In doing so, we ask that we are
notified and involved in any future City planning, including zoning changes, area maps, mock-
ups and other planning developments that influence this project.
The North Renton Neighborhood Association asks the City and City Council to note that:
1) The Lakeshore Landing project will be located in our North Renton
neighborhood, which is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Renton;
2) This project will directly impact our neighborhood and our quality of life.
It is our hope that we can minimize the negative impact and we are optimistic
these changes will be for the better. We are not obstructionists and we want to
be involved in a positive manner;
3) We are open to change and understand that there will be redevelopment of
the Boeing properties. We are heartened and intrigued by the project proposed
by Center Oak Properties. However, we are willing to fight to protect the unique
nature of our neighborhood.
We trust the City, the City Council, the Mayor and her staff, to work with Center Oak
Properties to create a dynamic redevelopment of the Boeing properties. We also trust the City,
the City Council, the Mayor and her staff, to act in the best interest of all of the city's citizens,
including those of the North Renton Neighborhood.

The Lakeshore Landing project raises no immediate concerns to the Association.
However, it does clarify our concern regarding future development of the properties between
North Sixth and North Eighth. In time, this area will be the sole buffer between a major
shopping center and our long-standing neighborhood community. Please take this into account
in future deliberations.
At this time, we ask that the City do everything in its power to open Logan Avenue and
connect it to Park Avenue as soon as possible. We believe that opening Logan will significantly
lessen the impact on our neighborhood. Finally, we ask for the City's assistance in mitigating
the negative impact of impending construction as this project is developed.
These are exciting times for the City and our neighborhood. We look forward to being a
part of it.
Sincerely,

COMMITTEE REPORT
November 8, 2004
SUNSET BLUFFS APPEAL
MAJORITY REPORT
File LUA 04-002, ECF, PP
(Referred 9/13/04)
The Planning and Development Committee heard this appeal on October 21, 2004. After
reviewing the record, the written presentations of both parties and hearing oral argument, the
majority of the Committee finds that the evidence submitted by Herons Forever was too
speculative to sustain its burden of proof before the Hearing Examiner. The majority of the
Committee recommends that the full Council reverse the Hearing Examiner and affirm the
decision of the ERC. The Committee; further recommends that the Council adopt the
following amended Findings and Conclusions to the Hearing Examiner's Report and
Decision dated August 3, 2004.
AMENDED FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
I. Finding of Fact 12. The last sentence is amended to read: "The
southwestern corner of the. site .(1.08 acres) is zoned RC (Resource Conservation)."
II. Finding of Fact 27.. The third sentence is amended to read: "West is another
RM-1 district with multiple family units and industrially zoned property in the City. of
Renton that is developed and undeveloped, including a closed quarry site, currently
used as a contractor's office, equipment and material storage, recycling and concrete
batching."
III. Finding of Fact 28 is. amended to add a sentence: "Ms. Sheldon did no study
of the biological effects of the change in release rate of the retained stormwater. The
retention system was designed according to the King County manual for detention,
treatment and controlled release."
IV. . Finding of Fact 29 is amended to add a sentence`. "Mr. Rozeboom testified in
general terms but without the support of any study or quantitative analysis of the
actual effects of the changes in the hydroperiod."
V. Finding of Fact 31 is amended to read: "Herons Forever's experts have
monitored heron recently and indicated that the birds reacted hostilely to intrusive
activities in both this heronry and in others in the Puget Sound Area. They suspect
that the proposed grading on this property, over 1,000 feet from the heron colony,
might have an impact on the colony. Reports indicate that the birds were flushed and
severely disturbed by logging just south of the railroad tracks at the western edge of
the riparian forest, but very near to that colony. Anecdotal evidence indicates that the
development of an office park within 500 feet of the colony may have caused the
Planning and Development Committee Report
Nov. 8, 2004
Page 2
colony to move to the north and west and abandon the main nest. This may have also
been caused by termination of blasting at the quarry to the west. One can only
speculate as to the cause of the move. One can also only speculate as to the effect on
the herons of clearing the development site. The area does serve as a source of twigs
and possibly forage for food, and this will be eliminated. Work will occur at or above
the nesting level, and maps appear to indicate that this will be out of sight of the
nests, and flying birds will be able to view the clearing. There was no concrete
testimony at the hearing regarding probable significant adverse effects on the herons
caused by upslope clearing at a distance starting at over 1,006 feet of the heronry."
VI. Finding of Fact 32 is amended to read: "The changes to the seasonal
wetlands were raised as to how the changes would affect the food sources of the
heron. This testimony was based on the conclusion by Mr. Rozeboom that there
would be a risk of significant adverse effects caused by increases in water depth in
the closed depression. This conclusion is not based on any quantitative analysis. The
testimony of the effects on food sources.is not based on a site specific study."
VII. In Finding of Fact 42, the last sentence is amended to read: "These visits to
the trail may be affecting the herons in some fashion.".
VIII. Finding of Fact 43 is amended by striking the 7t' sentence and substituting in
its place: "Minor earthwork, such as finish grading, may occur year round."
IX. Finding of Fact 49 is.amended'by adding the following: "The increased
runoff volumes from the site would likely increase average depth in the wetlands by 1
to 2 inches in the winter and by less than one inch, in the summer.
Predicted changes in water levels and duration in the depressional wetland would
have only a negligible impact. These conclusions are based on the use of a King
County methodology.. Although Dr. McCarthy made certain assumptions, which may
lessen the value of the study, the information remains unrebutted and is the only
quantitative information presented:"
X. Finding of Fact 60 is stricken.
XI. Finding of Fact 61 is added, which reads:
"Some historical perspective is necessary. The ERC was aware of this history.
The Black River Riparian Forest has been an existing feature in the area. The City
participated in constructing the P-1 forebay. About the time the forebay was
constructed, the herons were first noticed. Over a period of time the City sought
grants to acquire the Black River Riparian Forest. The City acquired part of the
Forest by dedication as part of City approvals. The City used grants and its own
money to negotiate and acquire, in several stages, approximately 100 acres of
property encompassing and surrounding the heronry, where it previously existed and
where it is now located. Over $8 million has been expended on this effort. The City
Planning and Development Committee Report
Nov. 8, 2004
Page 3
helped create the conditions that attracted the herons in the first instance, and has
expended substantial effort and resources in protecting the herons and their
surroundings."
XII. Conclusion 2, the last sentence is stricken.
XIII. Conclusion 7 is amended by striking the second and third sentence.
XIV. Conclusion 9 is amended by striking the last sentence.
XV. Conclusion 10 is amended by adding a sentence, as follows: "Earthwork shall
be limited to the dry months — except for, minor earthwork, such as finish grading."
XVI. Conclusions 11 through 28 are stricken.
XVII. A new Conclusion 11 is added. "The burden of proof is on Herons Forever.
As previously stated; the decision of the ERC is entitled to substantial weight. While
its good intentions are not; questioned; the testimony of Herons Forever was, in great
part, based upon speculation:; There is a lot that is unknown about the behavior of
herons and what might affect them, but that field of study is far beyond what could be
required of this developer. In general, the developer presented studies of the
proposal, while Herons Forever responded,by criticizing the studies and presented
general, non -site specific testimony.- Herons' Forever's site specific testimony was of
logging and building occurrences ,which -Were much closerto the heronry than the
proposed development.'.'
XVIII. The Decision<is amended to read "The decision of the ERC is affirmed."

(Referred 9/1.3/2004)
MINORITY REPORT NOT ADOPTEE
MAJORITY REPORT
ADOPTED INSTEAD.
VOTE OF 4 TO 3. 11-8-2004
I respectfully dissent from the report of the majority of the Committee and recommend
that the Council affirm the decision of the Hearing Examiner and require an EIS:
Herons Forever presented testimony of qualified experts who stated their opinions that
the project as proposed would be likely to disturb the heron colony in ways that would
diminish the productivity and could result in the herons abandoning nests in the Black
River Riparian Forest over time. $R 900 LLC's experts disagreed with these experts and
stated that the impacts would be minimal.
The Hearing Examiner considered the evidence and made findings of fact. In general he
merely summarized the conflicting testimony of the experts without deciding which
expert gave the most credible" -opinion. He :did specifically determine that the testimony
of SR 900 LLC's primary expert, Dr. Ken Raedke, who wrote the'report submitted to the
ERC, appeared to lack scientific basis and was not credible. Dr. Raedke testified that
herons in general are not disturbed by human activities" near their nests, and that the
development would have no significant impact on the heron colony.
Dr. Raedke's resume shows that he is an expert on deer and elk, not herons: He mainly
relied on a master's thesis written over .10 years ago by a master's student, Ms. Stabins.
Other researchers attempting to verify her nest counts have not validated her research.
He also cited studies from other states and Canada rather than local studies.
In contrast, Herons Forever presented Kate Stenberg, Ph.D., a heron expert who has
monitored herons in the Puget Sound region and, specifically, at the Black River Riparian
Forest, and Patricia Thompson, a wildlife biologist with Washington Department of Fish
and Wildlife. Their testimony was specific to Western Washington and to the Black
River heron colony. Dr. Stenberg and Ms. Thompson demonstrated much greater
familiarity with the research on herons than Dr. Raedke. They described a dramatic
decline of heron. colonies in King County,. while the Black River colony has thrived.
Dr. Stenberg identified specific impacts that were not considered by the ERC. Increased
runoff and lawn chemicals from the development may disturb the large wetland on the
development where the herons feed, and nesting trees may be killed. Noise construction
noise will be more intense because the development is above the nesting area. A
construction season limitation to avoid disturbance during nesting was not considered by
the ERC.
Planning and Development Committee Report
Page 2
Ms. Thompson recommended a site -specific management plan designed with the
assistance of her department so that after construction the impacts of pets and people
from the development could be minimized.
Dyane Sheldon, a wetlands biologist, stated that the change in runoff from the
development could change the timing as well as volume of water feeding wetlands on and
off the development that needs to be assessed and was not considered by the ERC. Bill
Rozeboom testified that further studies of water runoff volumes are needed.
The majority of this Committee concludes that this evidence is "too speculative to sustain
[Herons Forever's] burden of proof." But it is SR 900 LLC, not Herons Forever, which
has the burden of proof at this hearing. It must show that the Hearing Examiner made a
substantial error of fact or law. Otherwise, the Hearing Examiner's decision must stand.
SEPA law requires an EIS unless all of the likely significant adverse impacts have been,
considered first. An adverse impact does not need to, be proved with exact certainty.
ape 3n - specifically states that "several marginal, when considered
1i-3 p Y g�impacts,
together, may result in a significant adverse impact," and that, "for some proposals, it may
be impossible to forecast the environmental impacts with precision, often because some
variables cannot be predicted or values cannot be quantified". The WAC recognizes that
a development proposal may involve "unique and unknown risks`to the environment."
Scientific knowledge of Great Blue Herons is in its early stages, and it is not reasonable
to expect exact predictions of the effect.of the development on the ;Black River colony.
The Hearing Examiner's Conclusions were carefully crafted based on his findings of fact,
applying his extensive knowledge of SEPA law. He specifically.listed the likely impacts
on the ecosystem that the herons rely on from construction and.occupation of the
development. He required only a limited review of five issues so that experts under
supervision of City staff could: weigh the conflicting `testimony and provide information
needed so that the project can go forward while protecting the herons. After the EIS, SR
900 LLC will have further opportunity to appeal any mitigation measures it may find
unreasonable.
The Hearing Examiner did not make a substantial error of fact or law. The Council
should affirm his decision.

Hello Council Members,
I want to first say that I appreciate very much the support I felt from you last night when I talked about my
restoration project. It made my heart feel warm to see the council so interested and involved in protecting
and enhancing the environment!
I was asked to email you something about my project. I have attached a flyer to this email. It gives dates
of my outreach mtg. and planting, etc.The second attachment is a draft of what I will be doing throughout
the project.
I also would like to invite you to my site mtg. tomorrow, Wed. Nov. 10th at 9:30 am. King County grant
people and a biologist will be there to discuss the project with me and give me feedback. It would be great
to have someone from the city of Renton there as well to represent the city.
We're meeting at the restoration site which is immediately after the Black River pump station on 550
Monster Rd SW, heading north, and immediately before the Monster Rd. SW bridge.So the area is
sandwiched in between the pump station and the bridge, to give you a clearer picture of where it's at.
If you have any other questions or concerns for me, I'd be glad to respond by phone or email. My phone #
is 425 891-0730.
One more request: would it be possible to post the flyer of my project around City Hall on different floors?
Thanks again for your show of support, and I hope to work with you further on this project, and on other
projects. I'm very excited to be doing this grant, and I get all the more excited about it, the more people
get involved. It's just so great to see so many people caring about the environment and doing so much to
better it!
Warmly, .
Doris Yepez
Restoration Plan for Black River Channel
Doris Yepez, sponsored by the Seattle Audubon Society, has been awarded a $28,349
WaterWorks grant from King County. The grant money will be used to do restoration
work at the Black River Channel in Renton, Washington, off of Monster Rd. SW. The
area to be restored is the south side of the Black River Channel between the Black River
Pumping Station and the Monster Rd. SW bridge. A small population of salmon find their
way upstream and downstream along the waters of the Channel. Approximately, 2000
juvenile salmon have been counted swimming downstream in a year's time. Many other
wildlife have been spotted in this area, river otters, coyotes, numerous bird species,
including the Great Blue Heron, whose rookery, in the Black River Riparian Forest, is
adjacent to the Black River Channel, on the upstream side of the Black River Pumping
Station. The Heron population at the Forest is the largest in the tri-counties of King,
Pierce and Snohomish. The entire Black River area is very important to a multitude and a
diversity of wildlife. The channel is also an important link to the Green and Duwamish
Rivers, and is the "usual and accustomed" territory of the Duwamish and Muckleshoot
Tribes.
The entire area to be restored is approximately 1/2 an acre. The restoration area will
include approximately 20 ft. of riverbank, on which is mostly growing Himalayan
blackberries, an invasive species, and a grassy field, which extends from the river bank to
the road, and measures approximately 80 ft. wide by 340 ft. long. The field area will be
somewhat challenging, since it is underlain with gravel. The restoration tasks include:
1. Remove the 11 ecology blocks that have been left on the property.
2. Cut the blackberries, on the top 15-20ft. of the riverbank and grub them out. The
removal of the invasives on the riverbank, as well as the planting of native
vegetation there, will be done by paid crews since the river bank is steep.
3. Remove the island of invasives in the field area. The approximate size of island is
250X20 ft.
4. Dig plant holes in the field with augers, since the ground is gravelly and
compacted, and widen holes with picks or shovels.
5. Amend planting sites with top soil, and inoculate with native soil from the Black
River Riparian Forest.
6. Cover rows of blackberries with landscape fabric.
7. Plant trees and shrubs. Add mulch around planted vegetation. These tasks to be
done by volunteers.
8. Install a drip irrigation system, connecting it to the faucet at the Pump Station.
The water from the faucet will be the water source for the irrigation system.
Volunteers will be recruited to assist with the installation of the drip irrigation
system.
9. Monitor the restoration site, at least twice a month for the first few months, then
at least once a month afterwards. Monitoring includes checking how the newly
planted native vegetation is doing, covering native plants with protective meshing
if being chewed upon, removing invasive weeds that are growing in, checking and
repairing, if necessary, the irrigation system
One of the requisites of the grant is to involve the community as much as possible, with
hopes of instilling and fostering a sense of responsibility and stewardship for the
environment. Therefore, before the restoration work is begun, I will be inviting my
partners, Herons Forever, the Duwamish Tribe, Friends of Black River, and my sponsor,
Seattle Audubon, as well as Renton officials and citizens, and anyone else interested, to a
meeting where I will make a slide presentation of my restoration project, introduce my
partners and sponsor, and hopefully drum up support for the project and site and recruit
more volunteers for the plantings. I will also be contacting newspapers and other media
sources, and will be placing signs on the property letting people know about the project.
A final sign will have the names of the volunteers and contributors.

Volunteers Needed for:
The Black River Channel Native Plant
Restoration Project
on Monster Rd. SW, off Oakesdale Ave., in Renton
Do you enjoy working with plants? Do you care about your
community? Do you want to do something for the Wildlife or the
Environment?
The Black River Channel Restoration site is adjacent to the
BRRF, the Black River Riparian Forest, in Renton. The BRRF is
home to the largest colony of Great Blue Heron in the 3 counties
of King, Snohomish and Pierce, besides a multitude of other
wildlife. The herons, and other wildlife, come to the channel for
food, and shelter.
The goal of the restoration project is to enhance the fish, heron
and other wildlife, habitat in the Black River area and to create a
buffer from the noise and pollution of the street.
There will be a community outreach meeting, to talk about the
project, on Tuesday, Nov. 16th at 7 p.m. at the Renton
Community Center, 1715 Maple Valley Hwy, in Renton. The
Center's phone # is 425 430-5700.
The planting of native trees is scheduled for Saturday, January
22, 2005.
Everyone is welcome to the outreach meeting and to the
planting. This would be a fun event for families, to set the
example for the children, how we care about our Earth!

Community Services Committee Chair Nelson presented a report regarding the

2005/2006 General Fund funding recommendations and 2005 Community
Allocations
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding recommendations. The Committee
acknowledges the hard work and long hours the members of the Human
Services Advisory Committee have given to the year -long funding process, both
in expanding their knowledge of the needs and gaps in Renton services, in
identifying new trends, and in application review and agency interviews.
The City is currently developing a plan to implement the Human Services
Element in the City's Comprehensive Plan. This will address several of the
issues raised this funding cycle such as how to meet emerging needs while
continuing to fund current services. Until the plan is complete and funding
guidelines for the 2007/2008 funding process have been developed, funding
will not be decreased to agencies currently receiving General Funds or CDBG
public services funding, contingent upon agencies meeting contract
requirements.
It is recommended that funding be restored to all agencies to their 2004 levels,
with inclusion of one new program, Hearing, Speech and Deafness Center, to
be funded.
The funding process has raised a number of issues this year. For the 2007/2008
funding process, an ad hoc conunittee will develop funding guidelines that are
sensitive to the needs of agencies for stable funding, while addressing the
changing needs of the community's diverse population.

• The 17.9-acre site is located in a densely populated area. There are two livable
houses and a barn on site. The City has no immediate plans to develop the site.
• The previous owners experienced a considerable amount of vandalism, trash
dumping, and other criminal behavior when the houses were vacant.
• Therefore, one of the previous owners, Bill Korum, leased the house he owned to
a tenant who performed repair, maintenance, security, and custodial duties. The
City of Renton Memorandum
October 29, 2004
Page 2 of 2
tenant received an exemplary recommendation from Mr. Korum for his
performance of those duties.
The tenant is willing and eager to continue to perform these duties in exchange for
a reasonable fee lease.
The Lease and Caretaker's Agreement contains the following business points:
o Monthly rents for the 3-year period effective from the lease signing are
$500. The lease is automatically renewable annually in one-year
extensions.
o The Tenant is responsible for duties as outlined in the attached Addendum
1.
o The City is not responsible for utilities.
o After the original 3-year lease, both the City and the Tenant have
termination rights with a 120-day notice.
o The City may terminate the Agreement if park development funds
suddenly become available.
o The City reserves the right to terminate the Agreement if singular capital
repair costs for the house exceed $3,000. An example would be a septic
system failure.
o The Tenant shall provide $250,000 liability insurance and shall name the
City as an additional insured, and shall hold the City harmless.
o The City will provide maintenance supplies in reasonable amounts upon
tenant request.
o The City Attorney created the lease document and has reviewed the
Caretaker's Agreement, and the City's HR and Risk Management,
Administrator has also reviewed these documents.
Conclusion:
It is important for the City to retain the safety, security and asset value of this property.
Using a custodian satisfies the City's needs in these areas for the foreseeable future at no
net cost. Staff has reviewed and agreed with the business points of the Lease and
Caretaker's Agreement.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The City is in receipt of a 10% Notice of Intent Petition for the proposed 10.14-acre Querin
Annexation. The site abuts the City on its southern and western boundaries and its northern
boundary is contiguous with the southern boundary of the proposed Hendrickson Annexation to
its north. Whereas most of the site would have R-8 zoning upon annexation the eastern third of it
would receive R-4 zoning upon annexation. City staff have reviewed the 10% Notice of Intent
Petition and generally support this preliminary request. State law requires that the Council set a
date, not later than 60-days after filing, to meet with the applicants to determine whether the City
wishes to accept, reject, or geographically modify the proposed annexation as well as whether it
wishes to require the simultaneous adoption of zoning and require the assumption of all or a
portion of the City's existing indebtedness.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Council set November 22, 2004 for a Public Meeting with the applicants, pursuant to RCW
35.14.120, to consider their 10% Notice of Intention Petition.

SUBJECT: Proposed Querin Annexation 10% Notice of Intent Petition
ISSUE:
The City is in receipt of a 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings petition
for approximately 10.14-acres to the City of Renton using the 60% Direct Petition method.
(Figure 1, Vicinity Map) State law requires that the Council hold a Public Meeting with
annexation proponents within 60 days to decide whether to accept, reject or geographically
modify the proposal, whether to require the assumption of existing City indebtedness and
whether to require the simultaneous adoption of zoning.
RECOMMENDATION:
On the basis of the following analysis, the Administration recommends that Council accept the
10% Notice of Intent petition for the Querin Annexation. If Council concurs with this
recommendation, the Administration recommends that Council take the following actions
(pursuant to RCW 35A.14.120):
• Authorize the circulation of the 60% Direct Petition to Annex for the proposed area;
• Require the adoption of City zoning on the property consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan Residential Single Family (RS) and Residential Low Density (RLD) land use
designations; and,
• Require that property owners within the annexation site assume their proportional share of
the City's outstanding indebtedness.
Querin Annexation Issue Paper
July 16, 2003
Page 2
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
Location: The subject annexation site is located between the eastern edge of the Hoquiam
Avenue NE right-of-way on the west and the Honey Creek Estates on the east. The northern
boundary is the southern edge of SE 112th Street and the southern boundary is approximately
the northern edge of SE 1141h Place, if extended.
Assessed value: The assessed value at the current level of development is $1,299,000.
2. Natural features: The site generally slopes downward from its southwest corner to
Honey Creek, which traverses across the eastern third of the site in a ravine having 33%
slopes (Figure 2, Topography). The City's Sensitive Areas maps indicate that a class —2
wetland exists approximately 300 feet north of the annexation site.
3. Existing land uses: Existing development includes medium to large -lot single family
and vacant parcels. There currently appear to be five detached single-family dwellings
on the site, three fronting on Hoquiam Avenue NE and two accessed off of SE 1121h
Street in Honey Creek Estates. The northern three parcels fronting on Hoquiam Avenue
NE are currently vacant (Figure 3, Existing Structures).
4. Existing zoning: King County zoning is R-4. R-4 allows a base density of four units
per gross acre, and up to six units per acre with bonus incentives and/or transfer of
density credits.
5. Comprehensive Plan: Renton's Comprehensive Plan designates the subject parcel
Residential Single Family (RS) west of 144th Avenue SE, if extended, and Residential
Low Density (RLD) in that portion of the site east of 144th Avenue Se, if extended.
Potential new zoning under the RLD designation includes Resource Conservation (RC),
R-1 and R-5. The existing R-5 zone is intended to go away when the proposed new R-4
zone is adopted. Staff is recommending R-8 zoning on the RS portion and R-4 zoning
on the RLD portion.
6. Public services: All responding departments and divisions noted that the annexation
represents a logical extension of their respective services and systems.
Water Utility. The subject area is within the water service area of Water District #90 by
agreement under the East King County Coordinated Water System Plan. A certificate
of water availability from the District will be required prior to the issuance of
development permits within the subject area, following annexation to the City. Hydrant
flow test and hydraulic analysis of the District's system will also be required for new
development in the annexed area. The District must provide adequate water supply and
pressure for new development within the City and must meet Renton's standards for fire
protection and domestic water service.
Water District 90 currently provides water service within the city limits. However, the
District does not have a utility franchise to construct, maintain and operate its utility
system within Renton's rights -of -way. The City is currently working on an agreement
with the District.
Querin Annexation Issue Paper
July 16, 2003
Page 3
Sewers. The subject area is within Renton's existing sewer service area but not
currently served by sewer. Sewers would be extended by a combination of developer
extension, local improvement districts and City capital improvement projects.
Surface Water Utility. Staff notes that the annexation site is located in the Honey Creek
Sub -basin of the May Creek Basin where drainage problems exist downstream. These
problems include flooding and erosion along the banks of Honey Creek, which drains
into May Creek and ultimately into Lake Washington. Staff notes that Honey Creek
with its associated wetlands and forested buffers needs to be protected in accordance
with the sensitive area regulations regarding wetlands and stream buffer standards.
King County Wetland is located approximately 300 feet downstream to the north. As a
result the Utility is recommending that the 1998 King County Surface Water Design
Manual level 2-flow control and basic water quality treatment standards be used for any
subsequent development on the annexation site. Staff is also recommending that a
wetland report be required for any development application within the proposed
annexation site.
Parks. The City has a shortfall of both neighborhood and community parkland in this
area. King County owns about 45 acres of parkland, primarily undeveloped, to the east
of the proposed annexation. In the past, the County has expressed an interest in
conveying these properties to the City, when they are annexed. Development of the
parkland would occur at the City's expense. Park's staff recommends re -initiating
negotiations for the transfer of these park properties to the City to offset the growing
local shortfall. Increased staffing levels, supplies and materials to maintain and operate
these facilities would also be required. The projected cost of developing and
maintaining parkland to a level consistent with the service levels in the City's
Comprehensive Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan are included in the attached
preliminary fiscal impact analysis.
Fire. The area west of 144th Avenue SE, if extended, is currently served by the City
under contract with Fire District #25. The area east of 144th Avenue SE, if extended, is
located within Fire District #10. Renton would take over this service upon annexation.
Public Works Maintenance. Maintenance staff noted that the only organized drainage is
roadside ditches. The Division also noted that until the site is developed existing grass
lined ditches along 144th Avenue NE would have to be maintained and operated by the
Surface Water Utility.
ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSED ANNEXATION:
(Pursuant to City Council Resolution 2429)
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan:
The annexation policies generally support the proposed annexation. The subject
properties are within Renton's Potential Annexation Area and are subject to
development pressure. (Policies LU-378 and LU-380) The area is available for
urbanization under the King County Comprehensive Plan, zoning and subdivision
regulations (Policy LU-380). Renton is the logical provider of urban infrastructure and
Querin Annexation Issue Paper
July 16, 2003
Page 4
services to the area. (Policy LU-383). Policy LU-388 states that, in general, the greater
the contiguity with the city limits, the more favorable the annexation. The area
proposed for annexation is adjacent to the City limits along approximately 55% of its
boundaries. Proposed boundaries also are generally identifiable in the field (Policy LU-
388).
2. Consistency with the Boundary Review Board Objectives:
(from RCW 36.93.180)
a. Preservation of natural neighborhoods and communities. -
The proposed annexation would cause no disruption to the larger community.
b. Use of physical boundaries, including but not limited to bodies of water, highways,
and land contours;
The proposed boundaries for this annexation include existing City of Renton
boundaries to the south and west, an existing subdivision to the east, and another
proposed annexation (Hendrickson) to the north.
c. Creation and preservation of logical service areas;
Not applicable.
d. Prevention of abnormally irregular boundaries;
In light of the proposed annexation to the north, the proposed boundaries are
reasonable.
e. Discouragement of multiple incorporations of small cities and encouragement of
incorporations of cities in excess of ten thousand population in heavily populated
urban areas;
Not applicable.
f. Dissolution of inactive special purpose districts;
Not applicable.
g. Adjustment of impractical boundaries;
Neither the existing nor the proposed City boundaries are impractical.
h. Incorporation as cities or towns or annexation to cities or towns of unincorporated
areas which are urban in character; and,
King County has designated this area for urban development.
i. Protection of agricultural and rural lands which are designated for long term
productive agricultural and resource use by a comprehensive plan adopted by the
county legislative authority.
Not applicable. No portions of the proposed Annexation area are rural or
designated for long-term productive agricultural use in the King County
Comprehensive Plan.
Querin Annexation Issue Paper
July 16, 2003
Page 5
CONCLUSION:
The proposal is essentially consistent with City policies and Boundary Review Board
objectives for annexation. No impediments to the provision of City services to the area have
been identified.
The preliminary fiscal analysis for this annexation indicates a surplus of $10,479 per year at
full development and a one-time parks development fee of $32,185.

SUMMARY OF ACTION:
The Council accepted a 10% Notice of Intent petition to initiate annexation of approximately 26.14-
acres located between 152nd Avenue SE on the west, 156th Avenue Se on the east, Willowbrook Lane
Subdivision on the north, and SE 136th Street on the south on May 3, 2004. The proponents have
submitted a 60% Petition to Annex that has been certified as sufficient by the King County
Department of Assessments on September 13, 2004.
Under State law, two public hearings are required to be held on the zoning that would be applied if
the proposed annexation is accepted. Council is being asked to accept the 60% Direct Petition to
Annex and hold the first public hearing on future R-4 zoning. The Administration is also seeking
authorization td forward the Notice of Intent package to the Boundary Review Board for King
County for its 45-day review.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Council set November 22, 2004 for a public hearing to accept the Maplewood East Annexation 60%
Direct Petition to Annex, to hold the first of two required public hearings on future zoning, to
authorize the Administration to send the Notice of Intent package to the Boundary Review Board for
King County, to prepare a zoning ordinance consistent with Comprehensive Plan land use
designation for this area, and to prepare an annexation ordinance for enactment of the annexation if
Council decides to proceed with it.

DATE: November 2, 2004

Members of the Renton City Council
VIA: E,, Mayor Kathy Keolker-Wheeler
FROM:Alex Pietsch, Administrator

STAFF CONTACT: Don Erickson (x-6581)
SUBJECT: Maplewood East Annexation — 60% Direct Petition
ISSUE:
Should the Council accept the 60% Direct Petition to annex now that the King County
Department of Assessments has certified that 60% or more of the annexation area's assessed
value is represented by its signers?
If the Council accepts the 60% Direct Petition, what zoning classification should be applied at
the time of annexation since the RLD designation allows three different zones?
If the Council accepts the 60% Direct Petition, does it authorize the Administration to forward
the Notice of Intent package to the Boundary Review Board to begin its 45-day review period,
pursuant to RCW 36.93.090?
RECOMMENDATION:
On the basis of the following analysis, the Administration recommends that Council accept the
60% Direct Petition to Annex for the Maplewood East Annexation. If Council concurs with
this recommendation, the Administration further recommends that Council take the following
action:
• Accept the 60% Direct Petition to Annex for the Maplewood East Annexation;
• Authorize it to prepare a zoning ordinance consistent with the current Comprehensive
Plan land use designation of Residential Low Density (RLD) for the 26.14-acre non -
street portion of the annexation site; and,
Maplewood East Annexation — Acceptance of 60% Direct Petition, etc.
November 2, 2004
Page 2
• Authorize it to prepare an annexation ordinance so that if Council decides to proceed it
can be effectuated by ordinance.
• Authorize it to forward the Notice of Intent package for the Maplewood East
Annexation to the Boundary Review Board, beginning its 45-day review period.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The City received the 10% Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation petition on March 8,
2004 and after having the signatures certified by the King County Department of Assessments
the Council held a public meeting with the applicants on April 22, 2004. Council at that time
required that the annexation area be zoned consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and that
property owners within it assume their proportionate share of the City's outstanding
indebtedness. Under the Residential Low Density land use designation three zones are
allowed: Resource Conservation (RC) with one dwelling per 10 acres; R-1 with one unit
maximum per each net acre; and, R-4 with four units maximum per net acre. Given that the
current King County zoning allows up to six units per gross acre with bonuses or development
rights transfers, the City is recommending R-4 zoning for this site. Because this annexation is
at the 60% Direct Petition level it must be rezoned consistent with the Comprehensive Plan,
which in this case is the R-4 zone. However, because it has already achieved 60% sufficiency
as a direct petition it and two other similar annexations with. certified 60% Direct Petitions will
be allowed to use the lot size and density provisions of the R-5 zone. This latter zone is being
replaced by the City's new R-4 zone.
On August 17, 2004 the City received a 60% Direct Petition to Annex for this 26.14-acre site
and forwarded it to the County for verification of the validity of the signatures and the assessed
value they represent. On September 13, 2004, the King County Department of Assessments
notified the City that the signatures listed were sufficient under the provisions of RCW
35.13.002 to equal or exceed 60% of the area's assessed value.
Pursuant to RCW 35A.14.340, the City is required to hold two public hearings before rezoning
the subject annexation site. The first of these would be at the time the Council accepts the 60%
Direct Petition to Annex. The second would be after the Boundary Review Board for King
County completes its review and approves the proposed annexation.
In the 10% issue paper for this annexation staff noted that City reviewers had raised no major
obstacles to annexation. Parks noted that there was a shortage of neighborhood and community
parks in the area and that future parks development for this annexation would require an
eventual public expenditure of $27,773 in excess of what the City would receive in terms of
parks mitigation fees. And, Surface Water noted that the 1998 King County Surface Water
Design Manual Level-2 flow control requirements should be required of new development,
unless the City adopts stricter standards in the future, in which case they would apply. The
fiscal analysis conducted by staff for this project indicated that at full development there would
be a surplus of $6,515 per year, in 2004 dollars.
CONCLUSION:
Maplewood East Annexation — Acceptance of 60% Direct Petition, etc.
November 2, 2004
Page 3
The proposed Maplewood East Annexation has been certified by the County as having
sufficient signatures to represent 60% or more of the area's assessed valuation. It also has
reasonable boundaries and appears to comply with relevant Boundary Review Board
objectives. Reviewing staff raised no significant obstacles to this annexation. The proposed
Maplewood East Annexation appears to further the City's business goals and be in the general
welfare and interest of the City.

Renton School District
1220 North 4°i Street
Renton, WA 98055
LUA-04-101, R
LOCATION: 1700 NE 28"' Street
SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Rezone of the Kennydale Elementary School property from
Residential — R-8 to Residential — R-8 with a P-suffix
designation attached.
SUMMARY OF ACTION: Development Services Recommendation: Approve
DEVELOPMENT SERVICES REPORT: The Development Services Report was received by the
Examiner on September 21, 2004.
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 September 28, 2004 hearing.
The legal record is recorded on CD.
The hearing opened on Tuesday, September 28, 2004, at 9:00 a.m. in the Council Chambers on the seventh floor
of the Renton City Hall. Parties wishing to testify were affirmed by the Examiner.
The following exhibits were entered into the record:
Exhibit No. 1: Yellow file containing the original
application, proof of posting, proof of publication and
other documentation pertinent to this request.

The hearing opened with a presentation of the staff report by Jason Jordan, Senior Planner, Development
Services, City of Renton; 1055 S Grady Way, Renton, Washington 98055. The subject site is located at 1700
NE 28°i Street. The zoning is Residential-8 du/acre. The Comprehensive Plan is residential single-family.
North of the subject site is N 30"' Street, directly north of that is property zoned Convenience Commercial. East
of the site is Kennewick Place NE and property zoned Residential-8. South of the site is NE 28"' Street and
property zoned as Residential-8, and west of the subject site is 1-405 and west of that the property is zoned
Convenience Commercial and Residential-8 du/acre.
The subject site is 6.68 acres in size, the Renton School District is requesting to rezone the site from Residential-
8 du/acre to Residential-8 du/acre with a P-Suffix. There is a footnote in the R-8 development standards, Title
4, Chapter 2.1 10A that allows for the building height adjustment in the R-8 development. Mr. Jordan read
footnote nine into the record.
The proposed rezone is being requested to facilitate future redevelopment of a new school facility. This is a
non -project action, however, the rezone will allow for the redevelopment of the site as a new elementary school
subject to a conditional use permit. The school district has not proposed any new construction.
The Renton School District acting as their own lead agent issued a Determination of Non -Significance on
August 30, 2004, no mitigation measures were proposed by the School District and no comments were received.
The proposed rezone meets all rezone approval criteria.
Staff recommends approval of the Kennydale Elementary School Rezone.
Owen Dennison, AHBL, Inc., 316 Occidental Avenue South, Suite 320, Seattle, WA 98104 stated that in regard
to the criteria for rezones not requiring a comprehensive plan amendment under Section 4-9-180F(2) of the
Renton Municipal Code, the rezone is in the public interest, the existing structures are approximately 30 feet and
are built with flat roofs. The potential design of the new school may include pitched roofs, consistent with the
City's design guidelines. The additional height needed to accommodate the internal clearances for the interior
spaces of the school will need the additional height if pitched roofs are used.
Under the second criteria, rezone tends to further the preservation and enjoyment of any substantial rights of the
petitioner, this is neutral, the School District would contend that because public elementary schools are currently
allowed as a conditional use, this allows greater latitude for the school district.
The "P" suffix has been applied to other public school sites within the City of Renton, Highland Elementary and
McKnight Middle School. The City's plan is to continue with rezoning of, in particular, school district sites to
the "P" suffix designation, strategic planning urged the District to do all the school at one time, rather than just
Kennydale.
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 9:27 a.m.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATION
Having reviewed the record in this matter, the Examiner now makes and enters the following:
Kennydale Elementary School Rezone
File No.: LUA-04-101, R
October 7, 2004
Page 3
FINDINGS:
The applicant, Rick Stracke, for the Renton School District, filed a request for approval of a
reclassification of the 6.6-acre Kennydale Elementary School site from R-8 to R-8 with a P-suffix.
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 41.
The Renton School District, acting as responsible official, issued a Declaration of Non -Significance.
4. The subject proposal was reviewed by all departments with an interest in the matter.
The subject site is located at 1700 NE 28th Street. The subject site is the campus for the Kennydale
Elementary School. The site is located east of I-405, south of NE 30th Street, east of Kennewick Place
NE and north of NE 28th Street.
6. The subject site is a triangular shaped parcel.
The subject site was annexed to the City with the adoption of Ordinance 1827 enacted in May 1960.
The map element of the Comprehensive Plan designates the area in which the subject site is located as
suitable for the development of single family use but does not mandate such development without
consideration of other policies of the Plan. The plan permits public schools in single-family
neighborhoods.
9. The subject site is currently zoned R-8 which permits single-family homes and it also permits schools.
The R-8 zone permits structures to be 30 feet tall.
10. The applicant is requesting that the subject site be reclassified to R-8 with a P-suffix. The P-suffix
serves notice that the property is owned by a public agency, in this case, the Renton School District.
The P-suffix also provides that a meeting be held to provide information to surrounding residents and
property owners of any change of tenancy, ownership or use.
11. The P-suffix attached to an R-8 property also permits taller structures. The R-8, P-suffix zoning
provision, Section 4-2-110D, footnote 9, provides:
"Public Suffix" (P) properties are allowed the following height bonus: Publicly
owned structures shall be permitted an additional 15' in height above that otherwise
permitted in the zone if "pitched roofs," as defined herein, are used for at least 60%
or more of the roof surface of both primary and accessory structures. In addition, the
height of.a publicly owned structure may be increased as follows, up to a maximum
height of 75' to the highest point of the building:
a. When abutting a public street, I additional foot of height for each additional
1-1/2' of perimeter building setback beyond the minimum street setback required;
and/or
b. When abutting a common property line, I additional foot of height for each
additional T of perimeter building setback beyond the minimum required along
a common property line.(Amd. Ord. 4963, 5-13-2002)

File No.: LUA-04-101. R
October 7, 2004
Page 4
12. The main objective of the school district is to provide more architectural flexibility in designing a new
elementary school and possibly designing a structure with pitched roofs rather than the current flat roof
design. The school district has not submitted any particular plan and testified that it has not decided
what route it may take with the new Kennydale School.
13. The zoning in the area consists primarily of R-8 zoning east and south of the school site with CC
(Convenience Commercial) north of the site. 1-405 is located west of the site with additional R-8 zoning
and another CC district. The CC districts are located near the NE 30 Street ramps serving I-405.
14. The City led a major effort that had reclassified both public and private properties that had been
designated P-1 (Public and Quasi -Public Uses) under an old zoning scheme to zoning that more or less
matched surrounding zoning districts. If those properties were public properties the City would attach
the "P-suffix" to those properties. In other words, if a school site were formerly zoned P-1 but was
surrounded by R-8 property, it would have been classified R-8 with a P-suffix. Those properties would
gain the potential height bonus due to the P-suffix addition. The subject site was historically zoned R-8
and therefore, the City did not reclassify it at all.
CONCLUSIONS:
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 at least one of the criteria
found in Section 4-8-180(F) which provides:
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
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 Fl b and F l c of this Section.
(Amd. Ord. 4794, 9-20-1999)
The requested classification appears justified and should be approved by the City Council.

The site was historically zoned R-8 and unlike many other public properties that had been zoned P-1 it
did not receive any rezone attention. It simply retained its R-8 designation when other sites were
reclassified with a P-suffix that allowed public buildings to be taller than otherwise permitted. While
the rezone to R-8 with P-suffix would allow a taller building, it would also allow one with potentially
nicer design features including pitched rooflines. The size of the campus and the setbacks would help
diminish its apparent height even if the school district took advantage of the height bonus. Clearly,
there are tradeoffs in allowing a taller building than now permitted on the subject site.
The rezone would not diminish the property rights of the school district. It would be entitled to a public
hearing under Conditional Use Permit authority. It would gain the potential right to construct a taller
building.
4. A taller building could affect neighboring property owners but as indicated, the setbacks probably
would help offset such impacts. The P-suffix would also require information meetings to explain
changes to neighbors.
5. The Comprehensive Plan permits schools in this area of the City and the R-8 zoning requested is
actually the same as now exists on the site with the addition of the P-suffix which denotes public
ownership and again, conveys rights to build taller structures.
6. As noted above, the site was not reviewed when other school district's and other public owned
properties were reclassified from P-1 to more suitable designations. This is the first review of the
subject site's zoning in many years. There might not be any compelling reason to alter the zoning on the
subject site other than to allow architectural flexibility when a new building is proposed for the campus.
Therefore, the City Council should approve the application to reclassify the subject site from R-8 to R-8
with a P-suffix.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council should approve the request to reclassify the subject site from R-8 to R-8 with a P-
suffix.

Subject: Re: Vote to support EIS for Black River Heron colony
Dear Ms. Kostka:
Regarding the Sunset Bluff appeal, the parties to the appeal have previously had an opportunity to
address their arguments to the Planning & Development Committee of the City Council. By City Code and
by State law, the City Council may not consider new evidence in this appeal. Because of the court
requirements prohibiting the City Council from considering new evidence, and because all parties have
had an opportunity to address their concerns previously, the City Council may not consider oral or written
testimony at this point. Therefore, your email message cannot be forwarded to Council at this time.
As a matter of information, it is anticipated that the Committee will make their recommendation to the
Council on this matter at the next regular Council meeting.
If I can provide further assistance or information, please feel free to contact me.

Renton City Council -- The Black River heron colony is the biggest in King
County. The State has declared great blue heron nesting colony sites as
"protected habitat." The decision of the Hearing Examiner MUST be upheld
and the EIS he prescribed begun asap. Do not take the easy way out of
endorsing this development which has so many uncertainties about how it
would affect the colony.
I work with volunteers supporting Seattle's largest great blue heron nesting
colony in Kiwanis Ravine. The City of Seattle has upheld W DFW advice about
no forestry, excavation, or outdoor construction within a designated zone,
during the nesting season. The City of Renton can do no less!

Dear Council Members,
While doing some errands, that is supporting some local Renton Businesses, I stopped for the first time at
the Black River Riparian Forest Habitat and fell in love with the place. I thought to myself while walking
through the forest how wonderful and special it was to have a beautiful place like this where one could
escape the polluted and ugly surroundings of Renton ( appropriately named Monster Road ).
However, my heart stopped this morning after reading the PI article about the possible development in the
Black River (literally). Could people like yourselves, upstanding business leaders, go that low to revoke
your support for a rare attraction like the Black River Habitat? Renton's future will benefit far more from
having a clean BR Forest than it ever ever will from another cheaply built development. Also, Nesting
mother Herons would never survive a bunch of teenagers with BB guns living right next to them. If you put
the same amount of money that seems to be going into your pockets from this apartment complex into
promoting Renton as a Heron sanctuary Renton may someday actually be a desirable place to go visit.
Please I urge you with all my heart to protect the Black River Riparian Forest. It is a gem for your future
don't pawn it off !

Dear Renton City Council,
I am a 3rd generation resident of southwest Seattle. My mother and father
(in their mid-70's) have been visiting the blue heron heronry in the Renton
Black River Riparian for many years. I often visit the site with them. It
is a wonder of nature in the middle of an ever growing urban region. Over
$8 million dollars have been spent to preserve this precious area. Please
do not ruin it now!
Please follow the advise of your Hearing Examiner and do an environmental
assessment. I'm sure that with proper evaluation a mutually beneficial
agreement can be reached, one that would satisfy the heronry and the
developer. This kind of solution is the way of the future. Please slow the
process and take a good look at the solutions.
Sincerely,
Julia Chase

Regarding proposed development in this area, the Sunset Bluff land use application is currently under

Planning & Development Committee of the City Council. By City Code and by State law, the City Council
may not consider new testimony in this appeal. Because of the court requirements prohibiting the City

As a new (since last April) resident of Renton, I have been,
with my little grand daughter, learning about my new town.
Imagine my despair to read in the P.I. that the Renton
Council values the building of a puny 65 homes (irrelevant
in the span of my grand daughter's lifetime) over protection
for an irreplaceable nesting place for herons.
Shame on you.
I assure you, she and I value the heron nesting place much
more than we value the dubious merit of 65 new homes.
I am a very politically active grandmother, and I am
nurturing 2 future politically active grandchildren. I
will, of course, attend the meeting on Monday to protest
your decision not to have an EPI done. This is your chance
to show you value something besides immediate profit to your
own selfish selves.
If not, WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID THE EPI WOULD SHOW?
Are you persons of integrity, or not?

Dear Council Members,
am writing to urge you to allow an environmental impact study to be done before approving the building
of the housing complex next to the Black River Riparian Forest. I am no rabid environmentalist, but I do
believe that care should be taken when we consider large construction projects near fragile wetland
areas --especially next to the largest heron nesting location in King County. I am sure there is a way to
allow PROGRESS to coexist with NATURE, and an environmental impact study is a good step in ensuring
that a proper balance is found.
Please do not overturn the Hearing Examiner's thoughtful decision to request an environmental impact
study. All of the citizens of King County --and especially our children who will get a chance to enjoy these
majestic birds in the future --sincerely thank you.

Dear Renton City Council members and planning commission,
We live in South Bellevue, but we spend a fair amount of time in Renton. We are writing to express our
concern over the possible approval of the apartment complex project near the Black River Riparian Forest
and its heron rookery. Herons are increasingly threatened by urban development. They are also
threatened because of the wonderful comeback of the bald eagle (eagles prey on young herons). An
urban forest is worth preserving in and of itself ---how fortunate Renton is to have such an urban gem
within its boundaries!
We are not against development, but we believe that development must be done in a balanced way. We
also believe that conscientious government leaders can work with developers to craft a plan that supports
econominc development AND the preservation of areas like the Black River Riparian Forest. We
understand that an alternative plan has already been suggested ---one that would place the apartment
complex on a smaller piece of land, which would leave more of a buffer area between the complex and
the rookery.
We urge you to not to turn your backs on this urban gem. Once it's gone, it's gone for good. Please do the
right thing ---for today's citizens and for future generations.
Sincerely,
Paula Crockett and Martin Gibbins

Dear Renton City Council members and planning commission:
I have lived in the Seattle area my entire life. As a UW graduate, I enjoyed many hours canoeing through
the Arboretum, enjoying the wildlife and natural wonder. It has come to my attention that you are in the
process of possibly approving the construction of an apartment complex project near the Black River
Riparian Forest and its heron rookery.
Although I am not against development, I believe that development must be done in a way that balances it
with nature. I understand that an alternative plan has already been suggested, which would place the
apartment complex on a smaller piece of land, leaving more of a buffer area between the complex and the
rookery.
I urge you to look at alternatives to eliminating this natural space, thus affecting the wonderful herons and
wildlife that I have enjoyed over the years. This wildlife is what makes the Northwest a treasured place to
live.

CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON
DESIGNATING A PLANNED ACTION FOR THE LAKESHORE
LANDING DEVELOPMENT, APPROXIMATELY 55 ACRES LOCATED
BETWEEN LOGAN AVENUE N. TO THE WEST AND GARDEN
AVENUE N. TO THE EAST, N. 8TH STREET TO THE SOUTH, AND
EAST OF THE BOEING MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS ON THE
WEST.
WHEREAS, RCW 43.21C.031 and WAC 197-11-164, - 168, and - 172 allow and
govern the application of a Planned Action designation; and
WHEREAS, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been prepared for the
Lakeshore Landing site, entitled the Boeing Renton Comprehensive Plan Amendment EIS, and
such document considers the potential environmental impacts of a phased mixed -use project on
property generally owned by the Boeing Company in North Renton, including approximately 55
acres of subject property, proposed to be developed as Lakeshore Landing; and
WHEREAS, with Ordinance No. 5026, the City has amended the Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map for the subject area from Employment Area — Industrial (EA -I), Employment
Area — Transition (EA-T) and Employment Area Office (EA-0) to Urban Center North (UC-N);
and
WHEREAS, with Ordinance No. 5027 the City has amended the Zoning Map from
Center Office Residential (COR) and Commercial Office (CO), to Urban Center North 1 (UC-
N1); and
WHEREAS, this Ordinance would designate certain land uses and activities as "Planned
Actions" which would be consistent with the Urban Center North 1 (UC-NI) designation and
zone;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RENTON,
WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION I. Purpose. The City of Renton declares that the purpose of this
ordinance is to:
A. Set forth a procedure designating certain project actions within the subject site as
"Planned Actions" consistent with state law, RCW 43.21C.031; and
1
ORDINANCE NO.
B. Provide the public with an understanding as to what constitutes a Planned Action
and how land use applications which qualify as Planned Actions will be processed by the City;
and
C. Streamline and expedite the land use permit review process for this site by relying
on completed and existing detailed environmental analysis for the subject site; and
D. Combine environmental analysis with land use planning.
It is the express purpose of this ordinance that all the City's development codes be
applied together with the development agreement framework attached as Exhibit A to this
Ordinance for the purpose of processing Planned Actions.
SECTION II. Findings. The City Council finds that:
A. The Boeing Renton Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
addresses all significant environmental impacts associated with the scenarios described in the
EIS for Alternatives 1, 2, 3, and 4 as referenced therein, and the Lakeshore Landing Conceptual
Plan is encompassed by those Alternatives; and
B. The mitigation measures contained in the Development Agreement, Exhibit A of
this Ordinance, together with the City's development standards, and standard mitigation fees, are
adequate to mitigate the significant adverse environmental impacts of the EIS Alternative
scenarios 1, 2, 3, and 4, and the proposed Lakeshore Landing conceptual site plan; and
C. The expedited permit review procedure set forth in this Ordinance is and will be a
benefit to the public, protects the environment, and enhances economic development; and
D. Opportunities for public involvement and review have been provided as part of
the Comprehensive Plan, rezoning and EIS processes, and the approval of the Conceptual Plan
for Lakeshore Landing and comments have been considered which have resulted in
modifications to measures in the Development Agreement and analyzed Alternatives.
SECTION III. Procedure and Criteria for Evaluating and Determining
Projects as Planned Actions.
A. Planned Action Site. The Planned Action designation shall apply to
approximately 55 acres of property commonly referred to as the Lakeshore Landing site, and
referred to in this Ordinance as the "subject site." The City Council has approved, at its regular
meeting on October 18, 2004, the Lakeshore Landing Conceptual Plan for development of
between 500,000 square feet and 800,000 square feet. The property and Conceptual Plan are
illustrated in Exhibit B, and legally described in Exhibit C. Additionally, the Planned Action
designation shall apply to any off -site improvements necessitated by the proposed development
on the subject site, where the off -site improvements have been analyzed in the EIS.
Draft p. 2
ORDINANCE NO.
B. Environmental Document. A Planned Action designation fora site -specific
permit application shall be based on the environmental analysis contained in the Renton Boeing
Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) issued by the City on October 21,
2003. The Development Agreement, Exhibit A, is based upon the analysis in the EIS. The
Development Agreement, together with existing City codes, ordinances, standard mitigation fees,
and standards shall provide the framework for the decision by the City to impose conditions on a
Planned Action project. Other environmental documents incorporated by reference in the EIS
may also be utilized to assist in analyzing impacts and determining appropriate mitigation
measures.
C. Planned Action Designated. Uses and activities described in the EIS, subject to
the thresholds described in Alternatives 1, 2, 3, and 4 analyzed in the EIS, and subject to the
mitigation measures described in Exhibit A, are designated Planned Actions pursuant to RCW
43.21.C.031.
D. Planned Action Thresholds.
1. Land Use. Subject to the measures described in Exhibit A, the land uses
and development levels analyzed as Alternatives 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the EIS, together with their
customary accessory uses and amenities described in the EIS, when applied to the Conceptual
Plan for Lakeshore Landing approved by the City Council at its meeting of October 18, 2004,
makes Lakeshore Landing a Planned Action pursuant to RCW 43.21.C.031.
If future refinements to the approved Lakeshore Landing Conceptual Plan exceed the
maximum development parameters reviewed, supplemental environmental review may be
required under SEPA Rules. If proposed plans significantly change the location of uses in a
manner which would negatively affect land use compatibility (for example, move commercial
and office uses in such a manner that they would not buffer residential uses from the nearby
manufacturing uses), additional SEPA review would be required.
2. Building Heights and Thresholds: Building heights shall not exceed the
maximum heights allowed in the UC-N1 zone. In comparison with the building heights
reviewed in the EIS, a proposed increase in height greater than 10% shall require additional
SEPA review addressing aesthetics and shadows.
3. Transportation:
a) Trip Ranges: The range of trips were reviewed in the EIS.
b) Trip Threshold: Uses or activities which would exceed the
maximum trip levels shown in the EIS must complete additional SEPA review.
c) Road Improvements: The Planned Action would require on -site
and off -site road improvements. These road improvements have been analyzed in the EIS.
Significant changes to the road improvement plan that have the potential to significantly increase
impacts to air quality, water quality, fisheries resources, or noise levels beyond the levels
analyzed in the EIS would require additional SEPA review.
Draft p. 3
ORDINANCE NO.
4. Earth: A significant change in amount of grading assumed in the EIS
which has the potential to adversely affect water quality or fisheries shall require additional
SEPA review.
5. Air Quality: A significant change in configuration, increase in building
heights, or significant decrease in setbacks between residential and manufacturing uses, which
could affect localized air quality and odor conditions would require additional SEPA review.
6. Water. The following changes by the Planned Action scenarios to the
Alternatives analyzed in the EIS would require additional SEPA review:
a) Change in peak flows to Johns Creek significantly exceeding the
levels reviewed in the EIS.
b) Increase in number of outfalls to Johns Creek or Lake Washington
beyond the numbers reviewed in the EIS.
5. Public Services and Utilities: A significant increase in the number of
square feet or dwelling units beyond the maximum number analyzed in the EIS would require
additional SEPA review to address impacts to Fire, Police, Schools, Parks, Water, Wastewater,
Solid Waste, as applicable.
E. Planned Action Review Criteria.
1. The Director of Development Services, or the Director's designee, is
hereby authorized to designate a project application as a Planned Action pursuant to RCW
43.21C.031(2)(a), if the project application meets WAC 197-11-172 and all of the following
conditions:
a) The project is located on the subject site as described in section
III.A, or is an off -site improvement directly related to a proposed development on the subject
site; and
b) The project is consistent with the Renton Comprehensive Plan
adopted under RCW 36.70A; and
c) The project's significant environmental impacts have been
adequately addressed in the EIS by reviewing the environmental checklist or other project review
form as specified in WAC 190-11-315; and
d) The project complies with the Planned Action thresholds in the
EIS; and
e) The Director has determined that the project's significant impacts
have been mitigated through the application of the Development Agreement in Exhibit A, as well
Draft p. 4
ORDINANCE NO.
as other City requirements, standard mitigation fees and conditions, which together constitute
sufficient mitigation for the significant environmental impacts associated with the proposed
project; and
f) The proposed project complies with all applicable local, state and
federal regulations, and where appropriate, needed variances or modifications or other special
permits have been requested; and
g) The proposed project is not an essential public facility.
F. Effect of Planned Action.
1. Upon designation by the Director that the project qualifies as a Planned
Action, the project shall not be subject to a SEPA threshold determination, an environmental
impact statement (EIS), or any additional review under SEPA.
2. Being designated a Planned Action means that a proposed project has been
reviewed in accordance with this Ordinance, and found to be consistent with the development
parameters and environmental analysis included in the EIS.
3. Planned Actions will not be subject to further procedural review under
SEPA. However, projects will be subject to conditions designed to mitigate any environmental
impacts which may result from the project proposal, and projects will be subject to whatever
permit requirements are deemed appropriate by the City under State and City laws and
ordinances. The Planned Action designation shall not excuse a project from meeting the City's
code and ordinance requirements apart from the SEPA process.
G. Planned Action Permit Process. The Director shall establish a procedure to
review projects and to determine whether they meet the criteria as Planned Actions under State
laws and City codes and ordinances. The procedure shall consist, at a minimum, of the
following:
1. Development applications shall meet the requirements of RMC Chapters
4-8 and 4-9. Applications shall be made on forms provided by the Department and shall include
a SEPA checklist or revised SEPA checklist [where approved through WAC 197-11-315(2)] or
such other environmental review forms provided by the Planning/Building/Public Work
Department. The checklist may be incorporated into the form of an application;
2. The Director shall determine whether the application is complete as
provided in RMC Chapter 4-8.
3. If the project application is within an area designated as a Planned Action,
the application shall be reviewed to determine whether the proposed application is consistent
with and meets all of the qualifications specified in section III of this Ordinance.
Draft p. 5
ORDINANCE NO.
4. Upon review of a complete application by the City, the Director shall
determine whether the project qualifies as a Planned Action. If the project does qualify, the
Director shall notify the applicant, and the project shall proceed in accordance with the
appropriate permit procedure, except that no additional SEPA review, threshold determination,
or EIS shall be required.
5. Public notice for projects that qualify as Planned Actions shall be tied to
the underlying permit. If notice is otherwise required for the underlying permit, the notice shall
state that the project has qualified as a Planned Action. If notice is not otherwise required for the
underlying permit, no special notice is required.
6. If a project is determined not to be a Planned Action, the Director shall
notify the applicant and prescribe a SEPA review procedure consistent with the City SEPA
procedures and state laws. The notice to the applicant shall describe the elements of the
application that result in disqualification as a Planned Action.
7. Projects disqualified as a Planned Action may use or incorporate relevant
elements of the environmental review analysis in the EIS prepared for the Planned Action, as
well as other environmental documents to assist in meeting SEPA requirements. The
Environmental Review Committee may choose to limit the scope of the SEPA review to those
issues and environmental impacts not previously addressed in the EIS.
SECTION IV. Time Period. This Planned Action Ordinance shall be reviewed
no later than December 31, 2009 by the Development Services Director to determine its
continuing validity with respect to the environmental conditions of the subject site and vicinity
and applicability of Planned Action requirements. Based upon this review, this Ordinance may
be amended as needed, and another review period may be specified.
SECTION V. Conflict. In the event of a conflict between the Ordinance or any
mitigation measures imposed pursuant thereto and any ordinance, or regulation of the City, the
provisions of this Ordinance shall control, EXCEPT that provision of any Uniform Code shall
supersede.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE BOEING COMPANY AND THE CITY OF RENTON
FOR. REDEVELOPMENT OF A PORTION OF THE BOEING RENTON
AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURING FACILITY
I. PREAMBLE
This DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement') between THE
BOEING COMPANY ("Owner" or `Boeing'), a Delaware corporation, and the CITY
OF RENTON ("Renton'), a municipal corporation of the State of Washington, is .
entered into pursuant to the authority of RCW 36.70B.170 through .210, under which
a local government may enter into a development agreement with an entity having
ownership or control of real property within its jurisdiction.
H. RECITALS
A. Owner owns approximately 280 acres of real property, known as the
Boeing Renton Aircraft Manufacturing Facility ("Renton Plant" or "Plant"), located
in Renton, King County, Washington, as more particularly described in Exhibit 1,
attached. Since the early 1940s, the Plant has been used to manufacture military and
commercial airplanes.
B. The majority of the Renton Plant site has historically been zoned for
heavy industrial use and has, for several years, been designated Employment Area -
Industrial by the Renton Comprehensive Plan. Since 2000, a parcel along the Plant's
eastern boundary has been zoned IH and designated by the Comprehensive Plan as
Employment Area -Transition (Interim) and a nearby parcel has been zoned CO and
designated by the Comprehensive Plan as Employment Area -Office.
C. In 2002, Owner informed Renton of its plan to consolidate its Renton
Plant operations to the site area west of Logan Avenue, an effort commonly known as
the 'Move -to -the -Lake." Move -to -the -Lake is, among other things, intended to
release underutilized land as surplus for eventual sale and redevelopment.
D. To provide certainty and efficiency to Owner with respect to further
development of the Renton Plant for airplane manufacturing purposes, to encourage
continued airplane manufacturing by Owner at the Renton Plant, and in anticipation
of potential future redevelopment efforts, Owner and Renton entered into a
Development Agreement ('2002 Agreement') on June 28, 2002, by Resolution
[BOEING Dev Agreement I 1-24-03.doc] 11/24/03
Page 1
l
No. 3568 which, among other things, established baseline trip counts,
redevelopment credit and vesting of land use regulations under certain circumstances
for ongoing Renton Plant operations and potential redevelopment.
E. Based on further discussions between Owner and Renton regarding
Potential opportunities for redevelopment of the Renton Plant site, in phases, over
time, Renton resolved, by Resolution 3589, on October 14, 2002, to conduct
environmental review in the form of an environmental impact statement ('EIS")
pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act ("SEPA') of (a) potential alternatives
for redevelopment of all or a portion of the Renton Plant site and (b) related public
infrastructure. Resolution 3589 also established a conceptual public/private
fi amework for the eventual mitigation of the impacts of Renton Plant redevelopment
on transportation infrastructure and public services.
F. On December 4, 2002, Owner and Renton entered into an agreement
concerning the funding and construction of the extension of Strander Blvd. across
Owner's Longacres property ("Strander Agreement'). Among other things, the
Strander Agreement establishes a $1.7 million transportation mitigation credit to
Boeing that may be used to pay for transportation improvements needed to support
development of Owner's properties located in Renton.
G. On December 16, 2002, Owner submitted an application to Renton for
amendment of the Comprehensive Plan designation applicable to the Renton Plant site
("Comprehensive Plan Application") from 1H to Employment Area — Transition
("EAT"). Renton elected to designate the area under a new Comprehensive Plan
designation and combine the Comprehensive Plan Application with amendments
proposed by Renton to the zoning text, zoning map and development standard for the
Renton Plant site
H. On December 20, 2002, Renton imposed, by Resolution 3609, a
Moratorium on -development in areas of Renton, including the Renton Plant, zoned
1H. One stated reason for the Moratorium was Renton's desire to `provide adequate
time for Renton staff to prepare and present proposed changes to the Comprehensive
Plan and zoning" of those areas zoned heavy industrial (IH).
I. On January 13, 2003, the City Council held a public hearing on the
Moratorium. At the request of the Boeing Company, Renton amended the
Moratorium to allow Boeing to consolidate its facilities within the Renton Plant.
After the January 13, 2002 public hearing, the Renton City Council adopted
Resolution 3613 which continued the Moratorium in those areas of Renton zoned
[BOEING 11-24-03.doc] 1 W4/03
Page 2
heavy industrial (III, but also agreed to support Boeing's "Move -to -the -Lake"
including any required building modification or construction.
J. On June 9, 2003, the City Council amended the Moratorium for a
second time by the adoption of Resolution 3639. Resolution 3639 lifted the
Moratorium over I-H zoned areas located within the Employment Area -Valley
Comprehensive Plan designation. The Renton Plant is the only I-H zoned properly of
any significant size that continues to be bound by the Moratorium, which is scheduled
to expire on December 2, 2003.
K. On March 4, 2003, Renton's Environmental Review Committee
C ERC') adopted a determination of significance for the Proposal. Renton issued a
Scoping Notice and Scoping Document for the EIS on March 109 2003. On March
25, 2003, a public scoping meeting was held to receive written and oral comments on
the proposed scope of study. A Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was
issued by the ERC.on July 9, 2003. A public hearing was held on July 30; 2003. A
thirty day comment period on the DEIS was closed on August 8, 2003. The Final EIS
was issued on October 21, 2003.
L. Portions of the Proposal were the subject of a Renton Planning
Commission hearing held November 12, 2003; the Proposal and related modifications
to Renton's existing parking code, site development plan review ordinance, and
binding site plan ordinance were the subject of the City Council Hearing held on
November 17, 2003. The City Council adopted all by ordinance on November 24,
2003.
M. Owner has determined that the portions of the Renton Plant Site known
as Lot 3 and the 10-50 site will become under-utilized at the completion of Move -to -
the -Lake. Consequently, those portions of the Plant may be surplused and made
available for sale, in the near future.
IN LIGHT OF THE FOREGOING, and because successful redevelopment of
all or portions of the Renton Plant site will be of long-term benefit to both Renton and
Owner, Renton and Owner do hereby agree as follows:

Council will base its approval on the proposed Conceptual Plan's fulfillment of the
adopted Comprehensive Plan Vision and Policies for the Urban Center North.
3.3 Subsequent Land Use Approvals
Renton will evaluate all subsequent development permit applications within
the Subdistricts based on consistency with the approved Conceptual Plan. The process
for subsequent master plan and site plan approval is outlined in RMC 4-9-200.
3.4 Modifications to Approved Conceptual Plans
3.4.1 Modifications to an approved Conceptual Plan may be made after
an administrative determination of the significance of the proposed modification.
3.4.2 Minor modifications to an approved Conceptual Plan may be
approved administratively as long as the proposed modifications remain consistent

Conceptual Plan is proposed, City Council approval is required
3.5 Subdistrict 1A Conceptual Retail Plan
Owner has produced a Subdistrict IA Conceptual Retail Plan, attached as
Exhibit 5, that meets the requirements of Section 3, outlining proposed
Redevelopment of Subdistrict IA. By adoption of this Agreement, the City Council
approves this plan as the Conceptual Plan for Subdistrict IA.
3.5.1 The Subdistrict I Retail Conceptual Plan includes development _
of approximately 450,000 sq. ft. of large- and medium -format retail stores and
[/BOOING Dev Agreement 11-24-03.doe] 11/74/03
Page 7
approximately 110,000 sq. ft. of small retail shops, as well as potential locations for
structured parking and upper story multi -family residential units or office uses.
3.5.2 An Economic Benefit Analysis for Subdistrict IA of the
Redevelopment, attached as part of Exhibit 5, demonstrates that the Subdistrict 1A
Retail Conceptual Plan, which is forecast to produce estimated revenues to Renton of
approximately $1.2 million in one-time, construction related revenues and an
escalation to approximately $1.5 million in recurring annual revenues to support
Subdistrict IA Retail Redevelopment beginning in 2009, demonstrates revenues
sufficient to fund Renton's obligation to construct public infrastructure supporting
Subdistrict 1A Retail Redevelopment subject to Section 4, below.
3.6 Additional Planning Applicable
Owner acknowledges that additional site planning based on the requirements of
the RMC will be required for potential Redevelopment within the Subdistricts. For
example, should Subdistrict 1. A be further divided by short plat, lot boundary
adjustment or otherwise, master planning and site planning for each parcel and
building site pursuant to RMC 4-9-200 would be required.
4. Infrastructure Required to Support Redevelopment
Transportation and trunk utilities anticipated to be necessary to support
Redevelopment and the manner in which each will be funded and developed are
discussed below. Exhibit 2 generally illustrates each segment of Arterial Roads.
Exhibits 6A, 6B, 7, 7A, 713 and 8 illustrate supporting trunk utilities. Exhibit 9
describes infrastructure components and corresponding anticipated cost.
4.1 Transportation Improvements
4.1.1 Arterial Roads Required at Full Build Out
The parties agree that the Arterial Roads diagrammed on Exhibit 2 and listed
on Exhibit 9, will be necessary to support full redevelopment of the Renton Plant Site,
including District 2, assuming an intensity of total site Redevelopment no greater than
Alternative 4 studied in the EIS.
4.1.2 Subdistrict lA Arterial Roads
The parties agree that the Arterial Roads or portions thereof diagrammed on
Exhibit 10 as District 1, Subdistrict I roads and listed by segment on Exhibit 9 are
anticipated to be necessary for full Subdistrict I A Redevelopment.
MEING I1-24-03.doeJ
1124/03
Page 8
4.1.3 Subdistrict 1B Arterial Roads
The parties agree that the Arterial Roads or portions thereof diagrammed on
Exhibit 10, with typical sections of the individual Arterial Roads shown in Exhibits
l0A through 10E (hereinafter collectively referred to as Exhibit 10) as District 1,
Subdistrict 113 and listed by segment on Exhibit 9 are anticipated to be necessary for
full Subdistrict 113 Redevelopment.
4.1.4 Other Arterials
The cost of required improvements to arterial roads not addressed by this
Agreement will be paid by property owners or developers benefited by the
improvement based on a fair share allocation of total cost.
4.1.5 Arterial Road and Other Public Infrastructure
Funding
4.1.5.1 Renton agrees to design and construct the Arterial Roads
and certain other elements of public infrastructure specified below at Renton's sole
cost and expense; provided, that Renton will rely on revenues from sales tax on
construction, increased sales tax from Redevelopment improvements and the property
tax and other revenues generated by Redevelopment to fund its share of the public
infrastructure anticipated under this Agreement:
4.1.5.2 Renton will retain one-third (1/3) of the collected tax and
other revenues generated by Redevelopment, and will set aside. the remaining two-
thirds (2/3) for inf wt ucture improvements anticipated in this Agreement as
necessary to timely support Redevelopment within the Subdistricts.
4.1.5.3 Renton intends to utilize limited tax general obligation
debt to fund Arterial Roads and other public infrastructure under this Agreement, to
be paid for by revenues generated by Redevelopment pursuant to the terms of
Section 4.1.5.1. For example, $12,000,000 in bonds would require approximately
$1,000,000 per year in debt service for a 20 year bond at 5% interest: Similarly,
$7,500,000 in bonds would require approximately $625,000 per year in debt service
and $4,000,000 in bonds would require approximately $333,000 in debt service.
4.1.5.4 Should tax revenues fall short of those necessary to timely
install all infrastructure improvements required for a particular Redevelopment
project, Renton may delay infrastructure construction until the tax revenue shortfall is
remedied.
[/BOEING Dev Agreement 11-24-03.doe] 11/24/03
Page 9
4.1.5.5 In the event of an infrastructure delay, Renton will
immediately notify Owner and (if Owner is a non -Boeing entity) Boeing of its need to
delay and representatives of the parties will meet to discuss a cure, which may include
(at Owner's or Boeing's option) the provision of alternative financing pursuant to
Section 5 of this Agreement.
4.1.6 Arterial Rights of Way
4.1.6.1 Owner agrees to dedicate, at no cost to Renton, the land
necessary for the rights of way described in Exhibit 2, at the time that land on which
the rights of ways are located is sold; provided, that (a) Renton may request earlier
dedication, which Owner may approve in its sole discretion, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld, and (b) easements or license agreements will be provided
by Renton to Boeing, as Boeing deems necessary, to allow continued operation of
facilities within the right of way that support Renton Plant Operations. That is, the
parties intend that, if approved, such early dedication would not result in additional
cost to or dislocation of Renton Plant Operations.
4.1.6.2 Should there be Owner buildings located in the rights of
way, it shall be the responsibility of Owner to, at such time as the road needs to be
constructed, and upon Renton's request, (a) demolish such buildings and (b) cap and
abandon any underground facilities that would interfere with Renton's use of the
dedicated property for right of way purposes.
4.1.6.3 Park Avenue is constructed asymmetrically within the
current right of way. Expansion of Park Avenue anticipates use of the existing road.
Some additional realignment may be necessary to connect Park Avenue to Logan.
Owner will dedicate the necessary right of way to realign Park Avenue to provide
symmetrical right of way and as anticipated for expansion under Exhibit 2. Renton
will vacate any excess right of way created by such realignment, at no expense to
Owner. Should Owner have a building occupying property that would need to be
dedicated to Renton for right of way, then Owner shall grant the right of way, except
for the portion occupied by the building. In such case Owner will reserve the right of
way for Renton, and provide the dedication at no cost to Renton when the building is
demolished.
4.1.6.4 Renton shall not vacate any right of way dedicated by
Boeing necessary to serve Redevelopment, until redevelopment is complete or upon
the approval of Boeing and Owner.
[BOEING I1-24-03.doc] 11/24/03
Page 10
4.1.7 Design Fund and Timing
4.1.7.1 Renton agrees, within 30 days of the date of this
Agreement, to earmark $1.5 million for funding of Arterial Road design and
engineering ("Arterial Road Design Fund" or "Fund" ), The Fund will be utilized, as
needed, to ensure that design and engineering of the Arterial Roads occur in
collaboration with Owner and sufficiently in advance of Redevelopment project
construction to produce needed Arterial Roads in time to serve such Redevelopment.
The parties agree that Renton shall begin the consultant selection process for design.
of Arterial Roads within 30 days of the date of this Agreement. -
4.1.7.2 With respect to Subdistrict 1 A Arterial Roads, Renton will
begin design, through its consultant, of the intersection of Park and Logan as the first
task of the consultant selected pursuant to Section 4.1.7.1. This early design shall be
completed as soon as reasonably possible for the purpose of defining the location and
extent of the needed right of way of the intersection of Park Avenue and Logan
Avenue. Owner and Renton will consult on a right of way definition sufficient to
permit Owner to establish its property lines for purposes of sale.
4.1.8 General Construction Timing.
Construction of allor portions of Arterial Roads required for each increment of
Redevelopment will occur based upon (a) need for that portion of the Arterial Road as
demonstrated by a SEPA environmental checklist prepared for that increment of
Redevelopment, a traffic study, or other documentation agreed to by the parties, and
(b) a construction schedule established by Renton and approved by Owner -to ensure
final completion of such Arterial Roads, for each increment of Redevelopment, prior
to issuance of the fast occupancy permit for that increment; provided, that if such
Arterial Road construction is not timely completed, Renton shall identify and
construct, at its cost, mutually acceptable interim access.
4.2 Intersections
4.2.1 On -Site Intersections
The cost of On -Site Intersections will be paid by Renton according to the
principles set forth in Section 4.1.5, except that Owner will pay (a) the cost of left turn
lanes necessary to provide access to Redevelopment and (b) that portion of the cost of
the traffic signal necessary to support left turn movements.
[BOEING 11-24-03.doc] 11/24/03
Page I I
4.2.2 Off -Site Intersections
The cost of Off -Site Intersections will be paid jointly by the parties in shares
proportionate to the amount of predicted traffic using the development and the amount
of predicted traffic that is general pass -through traffic. These traffic predictions will
be made by use of a mutually acceptable traffic forecasting model. Owner's
contribution will be proportionate to the percentage of the traffic trips using the
development, and Renton's contribution will be proportionate to the percentage of the
traffic trips that are general purpose pass through trips.
4.2.3 Boeing Trip Allocation
Boeing agrees that it will allocate up to 1,500 of the "baseline trips"
established by the 2002 Agreement for Redevelopment of District 1. It is understood
that this Agreement is based upon reallocation of up to 1,500 trips in order to mitigate
or minimize the need for additional transportation improvements. The method, timing
and distribution of each trip shall be at Boeing's sole discretion. If; however, Boeing's
reservation of all or a portion of the 1,500 trips results in the need for transportation
improvements that would have been otherwise unnecessary, Boeing will bear the cost
of those improvements.
4.3 Interchanges
The parties agree to collaborate on lobbying and other efforts to receive state
and federal funding of I-405 interchange improvements that benefit Redevelopment.
4.4 Local Roads
Owner agrees to pay for all Local Roads required for Redevelopment.
4.5 Transportation Mitigation Fees
Renton agrees that Renton transportation mitigation fees assessed as mitigation
for Redevelopment will be used to fund off -site improvements, required to support
Redevelopment, in proportionate share of the cost of such improvements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, transportation impact fees shall not be devoted to On -
Site Improvements or for site access improvements required by Redevelopment, such
as left turn lanes on periphery streets.
4.6 Strander Agreement Transportation Mitigation Fee Credits
The parties acknowledge that, at Boeings sole discretion, all or a portion of
the reserve account established by the Strander Agreement may be utilized to pay for
[/BOEING 11-24-03.doe] 11/24103
Page 12
all or a portion of Boeing's transportation obligations associated with Redevelopment,
except that such credit may not be applied to reduce Boeing's share of the On -Site
Intersection improvements addressed by Section 4.2.1.
4.7 Water
4.7.1 Renton shall, according to the principles set forth in Section
4.1.5, install water lines to support redevelopment in coordination with the
construction of Arterial Roads.
4.7.2 Water lines installed shall be consistent with the "Option 1"plan
provided by Renton's Department of Planning, Building and Public Works, described
on Exhibits 6A and 6B, attached.
4.7.3 Owner and Renton will work together to create a water plan to
ensure provision of adequate routine (non -emergency) water and emergency water,
including fire flow protection, to the Renton Plant Site, for continued Renton Plant
Operations and for Redevelopment, including but not limited to an agreement that
water for Renton Plant Operations will be of adequate pressure, quantity, quality and
have required system redundancy.
4.8 Stormwater Conveyance
Renton shall, according to the principles set forth in Section 4.1.5, install a
stormwater drainage and collection system to support Redevelopment, in coordination
with the construction of Arterial Roads. The system to be installed is referred to as
Option 1 B in Exhibit 7, which anticipates reuse of a portion of the Boeing stormwater
drainage and collection system. The segment lengths, type of improvement, needed
right of way, length of laterals and estimated costs of these segments is set forth in
Exhibit 7A. If all or a portion of Boeing's stormwater drainage and collection system
is used, Boeing agrees to grant Renton an easement for maintenance, repair and
replacement of that system and title to the stormwater drainage and collection system
being used by Renton.
4.9 Sanitary Sewer
4.9.1 Renton shall, according to the principles set forth in Section
4.1.5, install sewer main lines to support redevelopment, in coordination with the
construction of Arterial Roads.
[HOEING 11-24-03.dcc] 11/24/03
Page 13
4.9.2 Sewer main lines shall be installed consistent with the proposed
plan provided by Renton's Department of Public Works, described on Exhibit. 8,
attached.
4.10 Franchise Utilities
Provision for Franchise Utilities must be made, in conjunction with installation
of the Arterial Roads. Franchise Utilities and Owner shall bear the cost of any out-of-
pocket design costs, extra trenching, conduit, sleeves or other installations to provide
for Franchise Utilities. Owner and Renton agree to reuse existing assets, if both
parties agree that such reuse is feasible.
5. Alternative Financing
5.1 Triggering Events
. Should Renton be unable to timely fund public infrastructure improvements or
should Owner or Boeing (if Owner is a non -Boeing entity) determine that it requires
construction of all or a portion of public infrastructure for Redevelopment on a
schedule more expedited than this Agreement provides, then, subject to the provisions
of Section 5.1 hereof, the parties hereto agree that, Owner or Boeing may choose, at
its sole discretion, to provide alternative financing for all or a portion of public
infrastructure by one of the following means:
5.2 Potential Alternative Financing Methods
5.2.1 Owner or Boeing or some other party may build all or a portion
of the Arterial Roads and other infrastructure improvements described in Section 4 of
this Agreement and sell all or any portion of the public infrastructure to Renton or
other applicable governmental authority pursuant to a .conditional sales contract, lease
purchase or installment purchase arrangement or similar method, the effect of which
shall be to cause the lease or purchase payment obligation to qualify as a promise to
pay within the meaning of Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
5.2.2 Renton, or some other governmental authority, may issue
revenue bonds if and to the extent that the property to be financed is to be included in
a utility, system or similar enterprise with respect to which revenues are expected to
be available for the ultimate repayment of the capital cost of such property.
[BOEING 11-24-03.doc] 11/24/03
Page 14
5.2.3 Renton may issue such other or further debt or other obligations,
including any tax increment obligations, which Renton is now or hereafter legally
authorized to issue.
5.2.4 To the extent that any alternative financing may be structured in
a manner which will permit nationally recognized bond counsel to opine that the
interest on any obligation is excludable from gross income of the holder of any
obligation for federal income tax purposes, then Renton and Owner or Boeing
covenant and agree to cooperate in good faith to structure the alternative financing in
such manner.
5.3 Repayment
5.3.1 In the event that Owner or Boeing exercises its right of
alternative financing pursuant to Section 5.1, the parties shall cooperate in good faith
to enter into an agreement, pursuant to which the parties shall identify any and all
fees, user charges, revenues, taxes and other benefits which are expected to result
directly or indirectly, either from the public infrastructure so constructed or acquired
or from the transactions contemplated hereby, in order to determine the aggregate
benefits to Renton and any other funds that Renton may obtain from other
governmental authorities.
5:3.2 The parties agree that they shall, to the maximum extent not
prohibited by .law, directly or indirectly allocate two-thirds (2/3) of such taxes,
revenues and other. benefits identified in 5.3.1, over time, to pay amounts due with
respect to alternative financing, or to reimburse Renton or related governmental
authority therefor. To the extent that such benefits are not permitted by law to be
directly allocated to pay debt service or similar obligations, the parties hereto agree
that such benefits shall nonetheless be taken into account directly or indirectly in
determining the total amounts of public resources which shall be allocated to repay
such costs, so that the net benefits. resulting from the transactions and public
infiwttucture are allocated or deemed allocated for such purposes, in a fair and
equitable manner. It is further agreed that any costs of issuance of such public
financings, any capitalized interest thereon or any similar fees and expenses shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be included in the amount so financed and shall be
similarly repaid.

[BOEING 11-24-03.doc] 1124/03
Page 16
6.2.4 Changes to Applicable Land Use Policies and
Regulations
During any vested period, should Renton amend its Land Use Policies and
Regulations, Boeing may elect to have such amended Policies and Regulations apply
to Redevelopment; provided, that the Development Services Director must agree to
such election, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Renton reserves the authority under RCW
36.70B.170(4) to impose new or different regulations, to the extent required by the
federal or state governments, or by a serious threat to public health and safety, such as
changes or additions to the family of building and fire codes, as determined by the
Renton City Council, after notice and an opportunity to be heard has been provided to
Owner.

The parties agree that other development agreements, in addition to and
following this Agreement, may be necessary to guide Redevelopment over time. That

agreements, addressing issues such as open space, and new internal public and private
road network and public facilities.
For example, the parties anticipate that construction of additional water,
sanitary and stormwater utility infrastructure, necessary for the Redevelopment of
District 2, beyond that associated with the Arterial Roads discussed in Section 4, and
which have been conceptually reviewed by Renton, as shown in Exhibits 6, 7 and 8,
will be covered by firture development agreements, and that the cost of such will
generally be the responsibility of Owner.
In addition, the parties anticipate that District 2 Redevelopment will include
Public and private open space amenities. Such amenities may include one or more
contiguous parcels* that provide recreational amenities and public access to Lake
Washington, create view corridors to Lake Washington and Mount Rainier, and serve
as focal points for Redevelopment.

CONCEPTUAL URBAN RETAIL PLAN
Renton, Washington
Submitted to the City of Renton
November 17, 2003
CONCEPTUAL URBAN RETAIL PLAN
Lot 3 and 10-50 Sites
Renton, Washington
Background
The Boeing Company has been working with the City of Renton for more than a year
in evaluating potential redevelopment strategies associated with its 737 facility in
Renton, Washington. This Conceptual Plan illustrates the. Boeing COmpany's vision
for the redevelopment of the first piece of the Renton Plant to be made available for
non -industrial uses. The Plan includes that portion of the property commonly
referred to as the Lot 3 and 10-50 sites, which have been determined to be non-
essential to the ongoing airplane manufacturing activities as Boeing completes it's
"Move -to -the -Lake' consolidation plan.
The Plan covers approximately 53 to 55 acres of gross land, of which approximately-
8 acres are reserved for the development of four new arterial streets that are
essential to the ultimate redevelopment of the entire 280=acre campus. The.
remaining 45 to 47 acres of land will be marketed to entities interested in developing
an integrated retail center on the site, consistent with this Conceptual Plan.
Included within this submittal are a narrative description of Boeing's proposal, a
Conceptual Planning Diagram with supporting pedestrian street sections, and an
economic benefit analysis demonstrating a range of potential one-time and recurring
revenues generated by the proposed development. Boeing seeks the City's approval
of this Conceptual Plan so that Boeing can complete the necessary lot line
adjustments and begin actively marketing the property to local, regional and national
developers and users.
The aerial on the following page highlights the location of the proposed retail site in
relation to Boeing's remaining land holdings -and the surrounding North Renton
neighborhood.
Conceptual Urban Retail Plan
Boeing believes that high -quality retail development is essential to the successful
transition of the area from its industrial roots to the City's vision for the Urban
Center -North. A well -designed retail center will provide employment, diversify the
economic base, offer a new source of municipal revenue, and will attract other
alternative and potentially higher and better uses to the surrounding area.
The Conceptual Plan for the Lot 3 and 10-50 sites, located on the following page,
illustrates the cohesive redevelopment of the parcels into an urban retail center. The
Plan contains a mix of large format "destination" retailers, mid -sized retail anchors,
as well as small shop space concentrated along Paris Avenue, envisioned as the
significant pedestrian -oriented street in the area. The Plan responds to the presence
of the existing Fry's building on the property to the east of Garden Avenue, and
anticipates that ultimate redevelopment of the northern portion of that site will relate
directly to the development occurring on Boeing's property.
The site Is bound 'by a combination of existing and new public roadways, which
segregate the property Into four quadrants ranging between 6 and 19 acres in size.
Boeing is seeking buyers for the 45- to 47-acre property to undertake a cohesive
redevelopment. Generally, the large format retail development (users with
footprints of 50,000 square feet and larger and building feature heights up to 45 feet
tall) is planned to occur along 8a', Logan and Garden Avenues, facing inward and
supported by well -organized parking areas internal to the site. These destination
retail uses will naturally locate themselves along the widest portions of the property,,
with good freeway visibility, much like the recently completed Fry's development on
the eastern side of Garden Avenue.
Medium format retailers (ranging between 10,000 and 50,000 square feet In area,
with building feature heights up to 40 feet tall) are assumed infill between the large
format tenants, with primary pedestrian entrances facing inward or directed toward
Park Avenue. Again, parking Is assumed to be concentrated within each segment of
the site, to allow for potential "second -generation' redevelopment at higher
densities, if achievable.
The northwest quadrant of the property is Identified as one potential location for a
mid- to high-rise development, which could take the form of a multi -level podium
parking structure, with multifamily residential or office uses above. This ultimate
development could initiate the truly urban vision for the area and, together with
pedestrian scale treatments at the comer of Paris and Logan, would identify this as
the "gateway' to the Urban -Center North.
Small, specialty retail shops and amenities would be concentrated primarily along
Park Avenue. The scale of development Is more intimate here, with an eclectic mix
of uses, architectural styles and gathering places. In some instances, single story
F retail uses may be topped with one to three levels of apartments or professional
office uses, all overlooking Park Avenue and the activity a" the street edge.
Together, the large- and medium -format users total approximately 450,000 square
feet of space; the smaller shop space totals approximately 110,000 square feet, or
20% of the center.

Hierarchy of Streets
Key to the successful development of the property is the reconfiguration and
Improvement of Park Avenue to serve as a critical pedestrian -oriented street in the
project. To accommodate full redevelopment of the Renton Plant properties, the
ultimate build out of Park Avenue will need to allow for four travel lanes and a center
turn lane, designed for vehicular travel up to 35 miles per hour. To support the
vision for the development of an urban retail center in this location, a generous
sidewalk with street trees and on -street parking for Park Avenue is being proposed
to enhance the environment In the public realm and encourage people to make Park
Avenue a pedestrian street. An illustrative street section for Park Avenue can be
found on the following page.
The other major north -south connection is Logan Avenue, which extends from 60'
Avenue to the south and joins Park Avenue in the north. The construction of Logan,
providing direct access to I-405, will be an important alternative through connection
to ensure Park Avenue functions as a pedestrian -oriented shopping street. At the
outset of redevelopment in the area, Logan is envisioned as a three -lane street, with
one travel lane in each direction and a center -turn lane. Ultimately, Logan will
expand and function even more so as a higher -speed arterial.
The east -west arterial roadways, 10tl' and a Avenues, are less critical to the
successful development of the urban retail center, other than serving as access
points to the center off of Park Avenue. Connections from 10"' and a to Logan
Avenue, if constructed, would be favorable, -but the center would function as well
with access only off of Park, the existing leg of 8a' and Garden Avenues.
Urban Center —North Vision and Policies
This proposed Conceptual Urban Retail Plan meets many of the City's vision and
policy statements for the Urban Center -North, which call for "retail integrated into
pedestrian -oriented shopping districts" and recognizes that:
"At the beginning of this transition, uses such as retail —may be viable without the
office and residential components that ultimately will contribute to the urban
character of the district." The City's vision plans for the transition of the area over a
30-year horizon and anticipates that redevelopment will need to addressthe
potential for future infill to allow areas to further grow to urban densities. This site is
located within District 1, where the City identifies its first objective as follows:
"Create a major commercial/retail district developed with uses that add significantly
to Renton's retail tax base, provide additional employment opportunities within the
City, attract businesses that serve a broad market area and act as a gathering place
within the community."
Boeing's Conceptual Urban Retail Plan seeks to both allow for the near -term
redevelopment of Boeing's underutilized assets while advocating for a mix of uses
that improves the City's tax and employment base. As is illustrated within the
attached economic benefit analysis, more than 1,300 jobs would be created in the
City of Renton by a redevelopment of this scale. The City would collect more than
$1.2 million in one-time revenues during development and the City would receive
over $1.5 million in annually recurring tax revenues at full build out.
Summary
Boeing believes that its Conceptual Urban Retail Plan illustrates the optimal
development plan for this 45 to 47 acres of land In North Renton. The Plan offers the
opportunity to contribute to the transition of the area from a primarily industrial
neighbotiwod to a higher Intensity and range of viable uses, providing both jobs and
a significant source of new revenue to support the Ctty's objectives for the area,

SUMMARY -
CITY OF RENTON ECONOMIC BENEFITS
Retail Redevelopment on Part of Boeing s Renton Plant Site
Economic benefits to the City of Renton of re -developing 46 acres of the Boeing
Renton, Washington plant site follow. Derivation of these benefit estimates is based
on a set of realistic assumptions that correspond to development of 451,000 square
feet of retail big/medium box space and 110,000 square feet of retail shop space.
➢ At full absorption of the above 561,000 square feet of retail space on a
redeveloped portion of the Boeing Renton plant site; it is: estimated that 2,197
permanent jobs would be created throughout the region.
➢ Of this total, a projected 1,132 direct jobs would be -created at the targeted 46-
acre Boeing Renton site plus 266 additional indirect jobs within the City of
Renton, assuming a 25 percent capture rate.
➢ It is estimated that these 1,398 direct and indirect jobs in the City of Renton
would generate an additional $45.4 million in recurring :annual income earned
-inside the City once full occupancy of this -new retail space occurs at the
Boeing Renton plant site.
➢ The corresponding increase in property values by redeveloping this 46-acre
portion of the Renton Boeing site into retail uses is forecast to total nearly $66
million upon completion in 2009.
➢ The increase in annually recurring tax revenues to the City of Renton at full
build -out is estimated -at over $1.5 million starting in 2009.
This is in addition -:to over $1.2 million in one-time City revenues collected
..duringJand redevelopment and the construction of 561,000 square feet of retail
space on a part of the Boeing Renton plant site during the 2004-2008 period.
