CONSENT AGENDA AS PRESENTED. CARRIED.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS Council President Pro Tem Persson presented a report regarding alleys. The
Committee of the Whole Committee of the Whole has reviewed the issue of policy on City alleys related
CED:Alleys (MBA to correspondence from the Master Builders Association. The Committee of
Correspondence) the Whole directs staff to amend the Administrative/Policy Code Interpretation
to ensure clarity and internal consistency regarding when alleys are required, as
well as under what conditions alleys would not be required.
The code should be amended as follows:
4-7-150.E.5 Alley Access: Alley access is the preferred street pattern for
all new residential development, except in the Residential Low Density
land use designation (RC, R-1, and R-4 zones). All new development in
an area that has existing alleys shall take access off the alley. New
development in areas without existing alfeys shall utilize alley access on
interior lots. If it can be demonstrated through an evaluation that the
use of alley(s) is not practical,the use of alleys may not be required.
Any or all of the following factors may apply and should be considered
in evaluating whether the use of alleys is not practical:
a) Size:The new development is a short plat.
b) Topography: The topography of the site proposed for
development in not conducive for an alley configuration.
c) Environmental Impacts: The use of alleys would have more of a
negative impact on the environment than a street pattern
without alleys.
4-2-110.A Development Standards for Residential Zoning Designations
(Primary and Attached Structures), in the maximum density section:
Maximum Net DensityZ,la,�s
R-8 8 dwelling units per 1 net acre,except that the maximum
shall be 6 dwelling units per net acre when alleys were not
evaluated for possible inclusion during the planning of the
street configuration.
The Committee recommends placing this issue, as outlined in the
Administrative/Policy Code Interpretation, on the Planning Division's Work
Program for inclusion in the Renton Municipal Code. Finally,the Committee
recommends the City's long term policies regarding alleys and possible changes
to address concerns about alleys be considered as part of the Comprehensive
Plan update.
