A. BACKGROUND
ERC MEETING DATE October 23, 2006
Project Name Highlands R-10 Zoning Text Amendments
Applicant City of Renton
File Number LUA06-121, ECF
Project Manager Erika Conkling
Project Description The proposed change to the zoning regulations makes three major changes: 1) It
enacts design regulations for the Highlands Subarea. 2) It requires the standard
5,000 square foot lot size for detached dwelling unit development in the Highlands R-
10 zone. 3) It requires that those who develop or redevelop their properties in the
HighlandsR-10 zone to remove the existing structures. The purpose of these
changes is to provide for high quality re-development with efficient land use patterns
in the Highlands without the implementation of other Comprehensive Plan
Amendments or rezoning property. There will also be minor, ancillary changes to the
areas subject to the current design regulations, in districts A, B, and C.
