SPECIAL PRESENTATION Karen Marshall, Human Services Manager, introduced Pamela Wilson and Kari Human Services: Human Hollandsworth,the newest members of the Human Services Advisory Committee. Services Advisory Committee Ms. Marshall noted that the committee will soon start interviewing the 41 Member Introduction agencies who applied for 2001 Community Development Block Grant funding and General Fund grants, an important annual undertaking. PUBLIC HEARING This being the date set and proper notices having been posted and published in Planning: Card Room Use accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Tanner opened the public hearing Conditions Amendments to consider amendments to card room use conditions. , Don Erickson, Senior Planner, explained that these amendments respond to the position taken in 1999 by the Washington State Gambling Commission that it, and only it, can regulate the location of card rooms within a jurisdiction allowing such uses. Mr. Erickson said in 1997, Renton restricted new card rooms to the Commercial Arterial (CA), Light Industrial (IL), Medium Industrial (IM), and Heavy Industrial (IH) Zones in areas with the Employment Area-Valley Comprehensive Plan land use designation. Existing card rooms outside of the prescribed area were deemed legal nonconforming uses. Because the Gambling Commission has stated that cities may not exercise their zoning authority with respect to gambling establishments, Renton faces the possibility that card rooms could be allowed anywhere in the City, even in residential areas. As a precaution,the proposed amendments to Renton's City Code would make existing card rooms nonconforming uses, and would ban new card rooms should any court of competent jurisdiction find that the City zoning regulations for card rooms is unconstitutional or illegal. Responding to Councilman Parker, City Attorney Lawrence J. Warren said the State Senate declined to take action on this issue this year, although the House of Representatives was willing to look at it. r` •June 12,12000 Renton City Council Minutes Page 209 In response to Councilmember Nelson, Mr.Warren said if one of the current owners of an existing card room sold the establishment, it could continue to operate under the new ownership. Mr.Warren added that he disagrees with the informal opinion issued by the Assistant Attorney General on this subject because the opinion presumes a pre-emption by the State of the cities' rights to zone gambling establishments. However,the law on pre-emption states that the Legislature must have formally pre-empted the area,which it has not done, or they must have so completely occupied the territory that there is no room for any city to legislate. Councilman Parker commented that the implications of this matter are considerable, in that it could deny cities the ability to zone for these types of uses. Public comment was invited. Don Schumsky, 2019 Jones Ave.NE, Renton, 98056, claimed that Renton's refusal to allow him to operate a mini-casino at the location of his restaurant,the All City Diner,was a violation of his civil rights. Adding that he has not been treated fairly,he said he has spent thousands of dollars to obtain a gambling license from the State, only to have the City inform him that his restaurant is not zoned for house-banked card rooms. Mr. Schumsky explained that the State has assumed control of all rules pertaining to gambling statewide to prevent graft on the local level. He did not feel that the Council should have any jurisdiction over his business, and concluded that Renton would benefit from another mini-casino due to increased revenues. Steve Schumsky, 6806 S. 133rd St., Seattle, 98178, opposed banning new mini- casinos in Renton. Saying that these uses bring at least 100 well-paying jobs to each location and contribute millions of dollars' of revenue to city, state and federal coffers,he said Renton should not allow one company to operate a mini- casino while banning other companies of the same industry. Adding that he construed such a position to be a civil rights violation,he said the only ethical position the City could take would be to either allow mini-casinos to all who wish to operate one, or ban them completely. Mayor Tanner replied that mini-casinos are not banned in the City of Renton,but rather are allowed in the Employment Area-Valley area. Councilman Parker recalled the public process which the City undertook to restrict new gambling uses to the Valley area,noting that some cities have banned such uses outright. Councilman Clawson echoed Mr. Parker, saying he was certain that due process was followed in adopting these zoning restrictions. Mr. Clawson likened this situation to when the City created the Automall area to relocate dealerships out of the downtown. He emphasized that Renton will fight to preserve its right to zone and allow various uses where it sees fit. Councilmember Keolker-Wheeler added that the City is considering banning all further gambling uses only because the opinion issued by the Assistant Attorney General has forced it into a position of all or nothing. She agreed with Mr. Clawson that the City carefully considers and applies zoning rules and regulations to all types of businesses, and that gambling should be no different. Responding to Councilmember Nelson, Mayor Tanner replied that the Gambling Commission may never take action on this issue. If,however,Renton was sued - I 'June 12,2000 Renton City Council Minutes - Page 210 and received an adverse ruling by a court, it could immediately invoke this ordinance to protect itself Mr. Schumsky stated he has invested a great deal of money in his current location and cannot afford to relocate it to the Valley area. Councilman Parker inquired what would happen if Mr. Schumsky did, in fact, obtain a license from the State to operate a mini-casino. Mayor Tanner replied that Mr. Schumsky would not be able to secure the necessary permits from the City to conduct this type of operation at the current location of the All City Diner, as this would violate Renton's zoning regulations. MOVED BY PARKER, SECONDED BY CLAWSON, COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CARRIED. (See page 211 for Planning& Development Committee report on this subject.) ADMINISTRATIVE Chief Administrative Officer Jay Covington reviewed a written administrative REPORT report summarizing the City's recent progress towards goals and work programs adopted as part of its business plan for 2000 and beyond. Items noted included: * The public is invited to join the Mayor and City Council for a special ceremony to dedicate the downtown park,the Piazza, on Thursday, June 15th at 6:30 p.m. * The City is holding a public open house tomorrow, June 13th,to gather input on potential improvements to the I-405/NE 44th St. interchange. * Over 76 tons of recyclable materials and 580 gallons of household hazardous waste were collected on Spring Recycle Day last month. * More than 750 children tried fishing and casting during the annual Kid's Classic Fishing Derby held at Gene Coulon Park on June 3rd.

The typographical error had the noise variance of 14 days covering work extending from Grady Way to S. 2nd Street. The reference to S. 2nd Street should be S. 7th Street. There is no pending appeal that would cover the territory between S. 7th Street and S. 2nd Street, and so the variance as initially requested and granted by the Board of Public Works of up to 65 days shall apply to that road section between S. 2nd Street and S. 7th Street.

EDNSP: King County Comp Planning &Development Committee Chair Keolker-Wheeler presented a report Plan Amendment re: May regarding a proposed King County Comprehensive Plan amendment. The Valley Urban Separator Executive Proposed King County Comprehensive Plan amendments for 2000 include a Land Use Map amendment to redesignate an area of Renton's Potential Annexation Area in the vicinity of May Creek from Urban Residential, Low to Greenbelt/Urban separator. The affect of the proposed amendment would be to maintain the existing R-1 zoning on the subject properties until 2012. If implemented, King County will not support annexation of this area to the City without an interlocal agreement to maintain the one unit per acre zoned density. The existing King County R-1 Zone is consistent with the Renton Comprehensive Plan and with the proposed zoning regulation adopted by the City Council in 1997 that would apply Renton's R-1 Zone upon annexation. The Council adopted the R-1 Zone after lengthy consideration of the potential impact of higher density on May Creek and its environs. The Committee recommended that the Council and the Administration draft a joint letter to the King County Council supporting the proposed Map Amendment 2 to the King County Comprehensive Plan.

PROJECT SUMMARY FOR PROPOSED CARD ROOM.doc\ O City Of Renton ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know"or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark designations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: Complete this checklist for nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). For nonproject actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs), the references in the checklist to the words "project,""applicant,"and "property or site"should be read as "proposal," "proposer,"and "affected geographic area,"respectively.

You do not need to fill out these sheets for project actions.) Because these questions are very general, it may be helpful to read them in conjunction with the list of the elements of the environment. When answering these questions, be aware of the extent the proposal, or the types of activities likely to result from the proposal, would affect the item at a greater intensity or at a faster rate than if the proposal were not implemented. Respond briefly and in general terms. 1. How would the proposal be likely to increase discharge to water; emissions to air; production, storage, or release of toxic or hazardous substances; or production of noise? This is a legislative non-project action. If existing card rooms are made legal nonconforming uses in the future their ability to expand would be prohibited reducing the emission or discharge of such substances includng noise. If card rooms are banned at a future date as a consequence of these amendments there would be a net reduction of such emissions. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases.are: . Not applicable for this non-proiect legislative action. Please see previous comment. 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life? As a legislative non-project action the current proposal will not directly affect plants, animals, fish or marine life. Amendments could result in reduced impacts if card rooms are banned or made legal nonconforming uses in the future. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: Not applicable. Amendments to Section 4-2-80411iiitions Associated with Zoning Use Tel Chapter 2, Land Use Districts, of Title 4, of OrdMOPE No. 4260. May 3rd, 2000 Page 13 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? The non-project legislative action will have no impact on energy or natural resources. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: Not applicable. 4. How would the proposal be likely to use or affect environmentally sensitive areas or areas designated (or eligible or under study) for governmental protection; such as parks, wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, threatened or endangered species habitat, historic or cultural sites, wetlands, floodplains, or prime farmlands? The subject non-project proposal does not directly impact or use environmentally sensitive areas. Amendments could in fact reduce impacts if provisions are exercised in the future. Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: Not applicable. 5. How would the proposal be likely to affect land and shoreline use, including whether it would allow or encourage land or shoreline uses incompatible with existing plans? This proposed non-project legislative action would potentially ban or make existing card rooms now permitted in the City legal nonconforming uses that could not expand, or ban such uses altogether, if the courts found that Renton's zoning scheme for regulating such uses was found illegal or unconstitional in the future. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: Not applicable. 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? This is a legislative non-project action that will not directly have any transportation or public service impacts. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: Not Applicable. 7. Identify, if possible, whether the proposal may conflict with local, state, or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment. No conflicts with local, state or federal laws or requirements for the protection of the environment are known to exist with the subject non-project legislative proposal.
