Currently, the area has seven Comprehensive Plan designations. Analysis indicates that there is a need to re-designate some areas. #2009-M·03 SUNSET BLUFFS: Proposed map amendment submitted by the owners for six separate parcels. This proposal includes the SE corner of the Sunset View Apartments and abutting properties to the south and east (including a strip of unimproved right-of-way). The request is comprised to two separate parts, which are as follows: Part A : Part A is made up of two tax parcels, approximately 27.09 acres in size. This amendment would re- designate the property from Residential Medium Density (RMD) and Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designations and Residential 10 (R-10) and Resource Conservation (RC) zoning to Employment Area Valley (EAV) land use designation and Commercial Office (CO) zoning. Part B: Part B is made up of four tax parcels and a portion of unimproved right-of-way, approximately 9.93 acres in size. This amendment would re-designate the QIP and Virtu property from Residential Medium Density (RMD) and Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designations and Residential 10 (R-10) and Resource Conservation (RC) zoning to Employment Area Valley (EAV) land use designation and Industrial Light (IL) zoning. #2009-M-04 VALLEY VIEW AND SUMMERFIELD: Proposed map amendment consider re-designating a 7.32- acres of an 11.59 acres site from a Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designation and a Residential 4 (R-4) zoning to Residential Medium Density (RMD) land use designation and a Residential 10 (R-10) zoning or Residential Single Family (RS) land use designation and a Residential 8 (R-8) zoning. The City has amended the requested proposal to include the Summerfield neighborhood located west of Valley View Mobile Home Park and south of Maple Valley Highway. The City's amendment would be to re-designate these properties to a Residential Single Family (RS) land use designation and a Residential 8 (R-8) zoning from RLD and R-4. The additional area is approximately 26.88 net acres. #2009-M-05 COWAN REZONE: Proposed map amendment in the upper Kennydale area. This Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone was initiated by the property owner to change the designation of two properties from Residential Low Density (RLD) to Residential Single Family (RS) land use designation and from Residential Four Units per Net Acre (R-4) to Residential Eight Units per Net Acre (R-8) zoning. Based on this proposal, staff has expanded the request to include two adjacent parcels. #2009-T-02 COMMUNITY PLANNING ELEMENT: Proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan to include replacement of the Community Planning Areas Conceptual map with the updated version with subarea boundaries and text related to the map. Policies will be added to guide public participation. #2009-T-04 INITIATE 2011 CHANGES: Every seven years, the City is mandated by state law to update and re- adopt its Comprehensive Plan. Major re-organization of the Land Use and Community Design Elements was already partly accomplished under CPA #2008-T -02, and the Community Planning Element will be reviewed under CPA #2009-T-02. Over the next three years, amendments to the Capital Facilities, Vision, Economic Development, Housing, Human Services, Parks-Recreation-Open Space and Trails, Transportation, and Utilities Elements will be considered. During this cycle, the Environmental Element will be re-written to include policies related to tree retention and urban forestry, climate change, and green building. #2009-T-05 DENSITY IN THE COMMERCIAL/OFFICE/RESIDENTIAL (COR) ZONE: This text amendment proposes to change Policy LU-279 under the Commercial/Office/Residential (COR) land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan. As proposed, this text amendment looks at changing this policy to eliminate the density ranges and instead address density by describing its intended intensity. This text amendment further intends to provide the flexibility to increase the density within the Development Regulations for the COR zone to 75 dwelling units per acre through Density Bonus Review. The COR land use designation is intended to provide opportunities for large-scale office, commercial, retail, and multi-family projects. This designation has been applied to very few sites throughout the City.

As proposed, this text amendment looks at changing this policy to eliminate the density ranges and instead address density by describing its intended intensity. This text amendment further intends to provide the flexibility to increase the density within the Development Regulations for the COR zone to 75 dwelling units per acre through Density Bonus Review. The COR land use designation is intended to provide opportunities for large-scale office, commercial, retail, and multi-family projects. This designation has been applied to very few sites throughout the City. cc: D. Law, Mayor J. Covington, Chief Administrative Officer s. Dale-Estey, CED Director ® W.

Currently, the area has seven Comprehensive Plan designations: Residential Single Family (RSF), Residential Medium Density (RMD), Residential Multi-Family (RMF), Commercial Neighborhood (CN), Center Village (CV), Commercial Corridor (CC), and Employment Area Industrial (EA- I). Analysis indicates that there is a need to re-designate some areas as Residential Single Family (RSF), Residential Medium Density (RMD), Residential Multi-Family (RMF), Center Village (CV), and Commercial Corridor (CC). The West Hill area has a variety of existing land uses, including commercial, single-family residential, multi-family residential, and industrial. The area does contain extensive critical areas including wetlands, streams, critical slopes, and moderate and high landslide areas. The proposed changes are as follows: o Redesignation from Residential Medium Density (RMD) to Residential Single Family (RSF) for a bulk of the annexation area. o Redesignation from Center Village (CV) to RMD and Residential Multi-Family (RMF) for the area west of 72'd Ave SE between Renton Ave S and the north boundary of the annexation area. o Redesignation from Commercial Neighborhood (CN) to RMD at intersection of 59 th Ave S and Beacon Ave S. o Redesignation from RMD to RMF for parcel located on north side of Beacon Coal Mine Rd S, abutting S 129th St. o Redesignation from RMD, RMF, and Employment Area-Industrial (EAI) to Commercial Corridor (CC) for a group of parcels located on the north side of Beacon Coal Mine Rd S, on the north and south sides of MLK Jr. Way S, from the 13300 block to S 128th SI. o Redesignation from RMD and RMF to Commercial/Office/Residential (COR) for a group of parcels between Lake Washington and Rainier Ave S, south of S 113th SI. #2009-M-03 SUNSET BLUFFS Proposed Map Amendment. A proposal for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment was submitted for six separate parcels located within the vicinity of the Sunset View Apartments at 2101 SW Sunset BlVd. This proposal includes the SE corner of the Sunset View Apartments and abutting properties to the south and east (including a strip of unimproved right-of-way). The request is comprised to two separate parts, which are as follows: o Part A : Part A is made up of two tax parcels, approximately 27.09 acres in size. This Amendment would re-designate the property from Residential Medium Density (RMD) and Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designations and Residential 10 (R-10) and Resource Conservation (RC) zoning to Employment Area Valley (EAV) land use designation and Commercial Office (CO) zoning. o Part B: Part B is made up of four tax parcels and a portion of unimproved right-of-way, approximately 9.93 acres in size. This Amendment would re-designate the QIP and Virtu property from Residential Medium Density (RMD) and Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designations and Residential 10 (R-lO) and Resource Conservation (RC) zoning to Employment Area Valley (EAV) land use designation and Industrial Light (IL) zoning. The subject site is bounded on the north by SW Sunset Boulevard and the east by a residential multi-family complex. Immediately south of the site is the BNSF railroad right-of-way and beyond the railroad is the Black River Riparian Forest. To the west of the site is the Black River Quarry. #2009-M-04 VALLEY VIEW AND SUMMERFIELD Proposed Map Amendment. The proposal is to consider re-designating a 7.32-acres of an 11.59 acres site from a Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designation and a Residential 4 (R-4) zoning to Residential Medium Density (RMD) land use designation and a Residential 10 (R-10) zoning or Residential Single Family (RS) land use deSignation and a Residential 8 (R-8) zoning. The applicant would prefer the RMD designation over the RS designation. This CPA is located on the south side of Maple Valley Highway at 16405 SE Maple Valley Highway. The City has amended the requested proposal to include the Summerfield neighborhood located west of Valley View Mobile Home Park and H:\CED\Plonning\Current Planning\PROJECTS\09-095.Kris\ERC Report 2009 CPAs 09-095. doc City of Renton Department of Communit·· D Economic Development Er "ronmentol Review Committee Report 2009 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDI 5:...._____________ LUA09-095, ECF Report of September 28, 2009 Page 4 of 9 south of Maple Valley Highway. The City's amendment would be to re-designate these properties to a Residential Single Family (RS) land use designation and a Residential 8 (R-8) zoning from RLD and R-4. The additional area is approximately 26.88 net acres. When the Summerfield neighborhood was annexed to the City of Renton on June 9, 2008 the City applied the RLD land use designation and R-4 zoning. Under this condition, if the property was redeveloped, it would result in a net loss of 17 units. The proposed change to RSF land use designation and R-8 zoning would result in a net change of zero residential units. This is because the R-8 zoning designation represents the existing densities of the developed Summerfield neighborhood. #2009-M-05 COWAN RE20NE Proposed map amendment in the upper Kennydale area. This Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone was initiated by John Cowan to change the designation of his property (Tax Parcels 813210-0120 and -0130) in upper Kennydale from Residential Low Density (RLD) to Residential Single Family (RS) land use designation and from Residential Four Units per Net Acre (R-4) to Residential Eight Units per Net Acre (R-8) zoning. Based on this proposal, staff has expanded the request to include two adjacent parcels (Tax Parcels 813210-0110 and -0010). #2009-T-02 COMMUNITY PLANNING ELEMENT Proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan to include replacement of the Community Planning Areas Conceptual map with the updated version with subarea boundaries and text related to the map. Policies will be added to guide public participation. #2009-T-04INITIATE 2011 CHANGES Every seven years, the City is mandated by state law to update and re-adopt its Comprehensive Plan. Major re- organization of the Land Use and Community Design Elements was already partly accomplished under CPA #2008-T- 02, and the Community Planning Element will be reviewed under CPA #2009-T-02. Over the next three years, amendments to the Capital Facilities, Vision, Economic Development, Housing, Human Services, Parks-Recreation- Open Space and Trails, Transportation, and Utilities Elements will be considered. During this cycle, the Environmental Element will be re-written to include policies related to tree retention and urban forestry, climate change, and green building. #2009-T-05 DENSITY IN THE COMMERCIAL/OFFICE/RESIDENTIAL (COR) ZONE This text amendment proposes to change Policy LU-279 under the Commercial/Office/Residential (COR) land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan. As proposed, this text amendment looks at changing this policy to eliminate the density ranges and instead address density by describing its intended intensity.

This designation has been applied to very few sites throughout the City.

Date r I SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL: 1t2009-M-Ol, WEST HILL LAND USE DESIGNATIONS: This map amendment involves establishing appropriate Comprehensive Plan designations for the West Hill potential annexation area, which is approximately 1,842 acres in size. Currently, the area has seven Comprehensive Plan designations: Residential Single Family (RSF), Residential Medium Density (RMD), Residential Multi-Family (RMF), Commercial Neighborhood (CN), Center Village (CV), Commercial Corridor (CC), and Employment Area Industrial (EA-I). Analysis indicates that there is a need to re- designate some areas as Residential Single Family (RSF), Residential Medium Density (RMD), Residential Multi-Family (RMF), Center Village (CV), and Commercial Corridor (CC). The West Hill area has a variety of existing land uses, including commercial, single-family residential, multi-family residential, and industrial. The area does contain extensive critical areas including wetlands, streams, critical slopes, and moderate and high landslide areas. 1t2009-M-03, SUNSET BLUFFS: A proposal for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment was submitted for six separate parcels located within the vicinity of the Sunset View Apartments at 2101 SW Sunset Boulevard. This proposal includes the SE corner of the Sunset View Apartments and abutting properties to the south and east (including a strip of unimproved right-of-way). The request is comprised to two separate parts, which are as follows: Part A (MLDC): Part A includes the property owned by Merlino Land Development Company (MLDC) which is made up of two tax parcels (1323049006 and 1323049010) approximately 27.09 acres in size. This Comprehensive Plan Amendment would re-designate the MLDC property from Residential Medium Density (RMD) and Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designations and Residential 10 (R-10) and Resource Conservation (RC) zoning to Employment Area Valley (EAV) land use designation and Commercial Office (CO) zoning. This site has currently been graded pursuant to the approved Sunset Bluff preliminary plat. Part B (QIP & Virtu): Part B includes the property owned by Quarry Industrial Park, LLC (QIP) and AG/Virtu Sunset View, LLC (Virtu) which is made up of four tax parcels (3779200005, 3779200008, 3779200009, and 000140009) and a portion of unimproved right-of-way, approximately 9.93 acres in size. This Comprehensive Plan Amendment would re-designate the QIP and Virtu property from Residential Medium Density (RMD) and Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designations and Residential 10 (R-I0) and Resource Conservation (RC) zoning to Employment Area Valley (EAV) land use designation and Industrial Light (IL) zoning. The QIP property is currently used for storage and recycling of construction materials and equipment and the Virtu property is a vacant corner portion of the site of the existing Sunset View Apartments. The subject site is bounded on the north by SW Sunset Boulevard and the east by a residential multi-family complex. Immediately south of the site is the BNSF railroad right-of-way and beyond the railroad is the Black River Riparian Forest. To the west of the site is the Black River Quarry. #2009-M-04, VALLEY VIEW & SUMMERFIELD: This Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) is to consider re-designating a 7.32-acres of an 11.59 acres site from a Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designation and a Residential 4 (R-4) zoning to Residential Medium Density (RMD) land use designation and a Residential 10 (R-10) zoning (identified as Option A herein) or Residential Single-Family (RSF) land use designation and a Residential 8 (R-8) zoning (identified as Option B herein). The applicant would prefer the RMD designation over the RSF designation. This CPA is located on the south side of Maple Valley Highway (SR-169) at 16405 SE Maple Valley Highway (parcel #2323059029). The subject parcel is 11.59 acres and is located within King County and the City of Renton. This map amendment would only be applicable to 7.32 acres of the subject parcel located within the City of Renton. The site is currently developed as the Valley View Mobile Home Park, containing 2 permanent structures and 45 mobile home spaces. Access to the site is via Maple Valley Highway. The City has amended the requested proposal to include the Summerfield neighborhood located west of Valley View Mobile Home Park and south of Maple Valley Highway. The City's amendment would be to re-designate these properties to a Residential Single-Family (RSF) land use designation and a Residential 8 (R-8) zoning from RLD and R-4. The additional area is approximately 26.88 net acres and includes 112 single-family residential lots, each lot contains an existing home. Access to these properties is via 161st Avenue SE, SE 156th Street, and 158th Avenue SE. The entire site is bounded by to the Urban Growth Boundary to the north, south and east. The site is adjacent to the Maple Valley Highway on the north. To the east is a large parcel with a single-family residence that is located within King County. The parcel south of the site is also located within King County, this land is vacant and contains steep slopes with landslide hazards. To the west is a single-family residential subdivision. #2009-M-05, COWAN REZONE: This Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone was initiated by John Cowan to change the designation of his property (Tax Parcels 813210-0120 and -0130) in upper Kennydale from Residential Low Density (RLD) to Residential Single Family (RS) land use designation and from Residential Four Units per Net Acre (R-4) to Residential Eight Units per Net Acre (R-8) zoning. Based on this proposal, staff has expanded the request to include two adjacent parcels (Tax Parcels 813210-0110 and -0010). #2008-T-02, COMMUNITY PLANNING ELEMENT: This proposal aims to amend the Community Planning Element, which was adopted into the Comprehensive Plan in 2008. Policies will be added to guide the public participation process. The current Community Planning Areas Map will be replaced with a specific map showing the boundaries of each Community Planning Area. #2009-T-04, INITIATE 2011 CHANGES: Every seven years, the City is mandated by state law to update and re-adopt its Comprehensive Plan. Major re-organization of the Land Use and Community Design Elements was already partly accomplished under CPA #2008-T-02, and the Community Planning Element will be reviewed under CPA #2009-T-02. Over the next three years, amendments to the Capital Facilities, Vision, Economic Development, Housing, Human Services, Parks-Recreation-Open Space and Trails, Transportation, and Utilities Elements will be considered. During this cycle, the Environmental Element will be re-written to include policies related to tree retention and urban forestry, climate change, and green building. #2009-T-05: DENSITY IN THE COR ZONE: This text amendment proposes to change Policy LU- 279 under the Commercial/Office/Residential (COR) land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan. As proposed, this text amendment looks at changing this policy to eliminate the density ranges and instead address density by describing its intended intensity. This text amendment further intends to provide the flexibility to increase the density within the Development Regulations from 30 to 50 dwelling units per acre to 30 to 75 dwelling units per acre with an option to increase to 100 dwelling units per acre with an Administrative Conditional Use approval. The COR land use designation is intended to provide opportunities for large-scale office, commercial, retail and multi-family projects.

Access to these properties is via 161st Avenue SE, SE 156th Street, and 158th Avenue SE. The entire site is bounded by to the Urban Growth Boundary to the north, south and east. The site is adjacent to the Maple Valley Highway on the north. To the east is a large parcel with a single-family residence that is located within King County. The parcel south of the site is also located within King County, this land is vacant and contains steep slopes with landslide hazards. To the west is a single-family residential subdivision. #2009-M-05, COWAN REZONE: This Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone was initiated by John Cowan to change the designation of his property (Tax Parcels 813210-0120 and -0130) in upper Kennydale from Residential Low Density (RLD) to Residential Single Family (RS) land use designation and from Residential Four Units per Net Acre (R-4) to Residential Eight Units per Net Acre (R-8) zoning. Based on this proposal, staff has expanded the request to include two adjacent parcels (Tax Parcels 813210-0110 and -0010). #2008-T-02, COMMUNITY PLANNING ELEMENT: This proposal aims to amend the Community Planning Element, which was adopted into the Comprehensive Plan in 2008. Policies will be added to guide the public participation process. The current Community Planning Areas Map will be replaced with a specific map showing the boundaries of each Community Planning Area. #2009-T-04, INITIATE 2011 CHANGES: Every seven years, the City is mandated by state law to update and re-adopt its Comprehensive Plan. Major re-organization of the Land Use and Community Design Elements was already partly accomplished under CPA #2008-T-02, and the Community Planning Element will be reviewed under CPA #2009-T-02. Over the next three years, amendments to the Capital Facilities, Vision, Economic Development, Housing, Human Services, Parks-Recreation-Open Space and Trails, Transportation, and Utilities Elements will be considered. During this cycle, the Environmental Element will be re-written to include policies related to tree retention and urban forestry, climate change, and green building. #2009-T-05: DENSITY IN THE COR ZONE: This text amendment proposes to change Policy LU- 279 under the Commercial/Office/Residential (COR) land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan. As proposed, this text amendment looks at changing this policy to eliminate the density ranges and instead address density by describing its intended intensity. This text amendment further intends to provide the flexibility to increase the density within the Development Regulations from 30 to 50 dwelling units per acre to 30 to 75 dwelling units per acre with an option to increase to 100 dwelling units per acre with an Administrative Conditional Use approval. The COR land use designation is intended to provide opportunities for large-scale office, commercial, retail and multi-family projects.

Datil 7 SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL: #2009-M-01, WEST Hill LAND USE DESIGNATIONS: This map amendment involves establishing appropriate Comprehensive Plan designations for the West Hill potential annexation area, which is approximately 1,842 acres in size. Currently, the area has seven Comprehensive Plan designations: Residential Single Family (RSF), Residential Medium Density (RMD), Residential Multi-Family (RMF), Commercial Neighborhood (CN), Center Village (CV), Commercial Corridor (CC), and Employment Area Industrial (EA-I). Analysis indicates that there is a need to re- designate some areas as Residential Single Family (RSF), Residential Medium Density (RMD), Residential Multi-Family (RMF), Center Village (CV), and Commercial Corridor (CC). The West Hill area has a variety of existing land uses, including commercial, single-family residential, multi-family residential, and industrial. The area does contain extensive critical areas including wetlands, streams, critical slopes, and moderate and high landslide areas. #2009-M-03, SUNSET BLUFFS: A proposal for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment was submitted for six separate parcels located within the vicinity of the Sunset View Apartments at 2101 SW Sunset Boulevard. This proposal includes the SE corner of the Sunset View Apartments and abutting properties to the south and east (including a strip of unimproved right-of-way). The request is comprised to two separate parts, which are as follows: Part A (MLDC): Part A includes the property owned by Merlino Land Development Company (MLDC) which is made up of two tax parcels (1323049006 and 1323049010) approximately 27.09 acres in size. This Comprehensive Plan Amendment would re-designate the MLDC property from Residential Medium Density (RMD) and Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designations and Residential 10 (R-10) and Resource Conservation (RC) zoning to Employment Area Valley (EAV) land use designation and Commercial Office (CO) zoning. This site has currently been graded pursuant to the approved Sunset Bluff preliminary plat. Part B (QIP & Virtu): Part B includes the property owned by Quarry Industrial Park, LLC (QIP) and AG/Virtu Sunset View, LLC (Virtu) which is made up of four tax parcels (3779200005, 3779200008, 3779200009, and 000140009) and a portion of unimproved right-of-way, approximately 9.93 acres in size. This Comprehensive Plan Amendment would re-designate the QIP and Virtu property from Residential Medium Density (RMD) and Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designations and Residential 10 (R-lO) and Resource Conservation (RC) zoning to Employment Area Valley (EAV) land use designation and Industrial Light (IL) zoning. The QIP property is currently used for storage and recycling of construction materials and equipment and the Virtu property is a vacant corner portion of the site of the existing Sunset View Apartments. The subject site is bounded on the north by SW Sunset Boulevard and the east by a residential multi-family complex. Immediately south of the site is the BNSF railroad right-of-way and beyond the railroad is the Black River Riparian Forest. To the west of the site is the Black River Quarry. 112009-M-04, VALLEY VIEW & SUMMERFIELD: This Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) is to consider re-designating a 7.32-acres of an 11.59 acres site from a Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designation and a Residential 4 (R-4) zoning to Residential Medium Density (RMD) land use designation and a Residential 10 (R-lO) zoning (identified as Option A herein) or Residential Single-Family (RSF) land use designation and a Residential 8 (R-8) zoning (identified as Option B herein). The applicant would prefer the RM D designation over the RSF designation. This CPA is located on the south side of Maple Valley Highway (SR-169) at 16405 SE Maple Valley Highway (parcel 112323059029). The subject parcel is 11.59 acres and is located within King County and the City of Renton. This map amendment would only be applicable to 7.32 acres of the subject parcel located within the City of Renton. The site is currently developed as the Valley View Mobile Home Park, containing 2 permanent structures and 45 mobile home spaces. Access to the site is via Maple Valley Highway. The City has amended the requested proposal to include the Summerfield neighborhood located west of Valley View Mobile Home Park and south of Maple Valley Highway. The City's amendment would be to re-designate these properties to a Residential Single-Family (RSF) land use designation and a Residential 8 (R-8) zoning from RLD and R-4. The additional area is approximately 26.88 net acres and includes 112 single-family residential lots, each lot contains an existing home. Access to these properties is via 161st Avenue SE, SE 156th Street, and 158th Avenue SE. The entire site is bounded by to the Urban Growth Boundary to the north, south and east. The site is adjacent to the Maple Valley Highway on the north. To the east is a large parcel with a single-family residence that is located within King County. The parcel south of the site is also located within King County, this land is vacant and contains steep slopes with landslide hazards. To the west is a single-family residential subdivision. 112009-M-05, COWAN REZONE: This Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone was initiated by John Cowan to change the designation of his property (Tax Parcels 813210-0120 and -0130) in upper Kennydale from Residential Low Density (RLD) to Residential Single Family (RS) land use designation and from Residential Four Units per Net Acre (R-4) to Residential Eight Units per Net Acre (R-8) zoning. Based on this proposal, staff has expanded the request to include two adjacent parcels (Tax Parcels 813210-0110 and -0010). 112008-T-02, COMMUNITY PLANNING ELEMENT: This proposal aims to amend the Community Planning Element, which was adopted into the Comprehensive Plan in 2008. Policies will be added to guide the public participation process. The current Community Planning Areas Map will be replaced with a specific map showing the boundaries of each Community Planning Area. 112009-T-04, INITIATE 2011 CHANGES: Every seven years, the City is mandated by state law to update and re-adopt its Comprehensive Plan.

Currently, the area has seven Comprehensive Plan designations: Residential Single Family (RSF), Residential Medium Density (RMD), Residential Multi-Family (RMF), Commercial Neighborhood (CN), Center Village (CV), Commercial Corridor (CC), and Employment Area Industrial (EA-I). Analysis indicates that there is a need to re-designate some areas as Residential Single Family (RSF), Residential Medium Density (RMD), Residential Multi-Family (RMF), Center Village (CV), and Commercial Corridor (CC). The West Hill area has a variety of existing land uses, including commercial, single-family residential, multi-family residential, and industrial. The area does contain extensive critical areas including wetlands, streams, critical slopes, and moderate and high landslide areas. A vicinity map is located to the right. If you have questions about this proposal, please contact the project manager, Rocale Timmons, at 425.430.7219. #2009-M-03, SUNSET BLUFFS: A proposal for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment was submitted for six separate parcels located within the vicinity of the Sunset View Apartments at 2101 SW Sunset Blvd. This proposal includes the SE corner of the Sunset View Apartments and abutting properties to the south and east (including a strip of unimproved right-of-way). A vicinity map is located to the right. The request is comprised to two separate parts, which are as follows: Part A: Part A is made up of two tax parcels, approximately 27.09 acres in size. This Amendment would re-designate the property from Residential Medium Density (RMD) and Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designations and Residential 10 (R-lO) and Resource Conservation (RC) zoning to Employment Area Valley (EAV) land use designation and Commercial Office (CO) zoning. Part B: Part B is made up of four tax parcels and a portion of unimproved right- of-way, approximately 9.93 acres in size.

The subject site is bounded on the north by SW Sunset Boulevard and the east by a residential multi-family complex. Immediately south of the site is the BNSF railroad right-of-way and beyond the railroad is the Black River Riparian Forest. To the west of the site is the Black River Quarry. If you have questions about this proposal, please contact the project manager, Vanessa Dolbee, at 425.430.7314. t/2009-M-04, VALLEY VIEW & :>LlMMERFIELD: This Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) is to consider re-designating a 7.32-acres of an 11.59 acres site from a Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designation and a Residential 4 (R-4) zoning to Residential Medium Density (RMD) land use designation and a Residential 10 (R-lO) zoning or Residential Single-Family (RSF) land use designation and a Residential 8 (R-8) zoning. The applicant would prefer the RMD desigllation over the RSF designation. This CPA is located on the south side of Maple Valley Highway at 16405 sE Maple Valley Highway. The City has amended the requested proposal to include the Summerfield neighborhood located west of Valley View Mobile Home Park and south of Maple Valley Highway. The City's amendment would be to re-designate these properties to a Residential Single-Family (RSF) land use designation and a Residential 8 (R-8) zoning from RLD and R-4. The additional area is approximately 26.88 net acres. A vicinity map is located to the right.

If you have questions about this proposal, please contact the project manager, Erika Conkling, at 425.430.6578. t/2009-T-04, INITIATE 2011 CHANGES: Every seven years, the City is mandated by state law to update and re-adopt its Comprehensive Plan. Major re-organization of the Land Use and Community Design Elements was already partly accomplished under CPA t/2008-T-02, and the Community Planning Element will be reviewed under CPA t/2009-T-02. Over the next three years, amendments to the Capital Facilities, Vision, Economic Development, Housing, Human Services, Parks-Recreation-Open Space and Trails, Transportation, and Utilities Elements will be considered. During this cycle, the Environmental Element will be re-written to include policies related to tree retention and urban forestry, climate change, and green building. If you have questions about this proposal, please contact the project manager, Erika Conkling, at 425.430.6578. t/2009-T-05: DENSITY IN THE COR ZONE: This text amendment proposes to change Policy LU-279 under the Commercial/Office/Residential (COR) land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan. As proposed, this text amendment looks at changing this policy to eliminate the density ranges and instead address density by describing its intended intensity. This text amendment further intends to provide the flexibility to increase the density within the Development Regulations from 30 to 50 dwelling units per acre to 30 to 75 dwelling units per acre with an option to increase to 100 dwelling units per acre with an Administrative Conditional Use approval. The COR land use designation is intended to provide opportunities for large-scale office, commercial, retail and multi-family projects. If you have questions about this proposal, please contact the project manager, Vanessa Dolbee, at 425.430.7314.

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. -1 -06/09 H:ICEDlPlanninglComp PianlAmendmentsl2009IAdminlSEPA document and attachmentslEnviro Checklist_CPAs 2009,doc .~ , A.

Policies will be added to guide public participation. • #2009-T-04, INITIATE 2011 CHANGES: Every seven years, the City is mandated by state law to update and re-adopt its Comprehensive Plan. Major re-organization of the Land Use and Community Design Elements was already partly accomplished under CPA #2008-T-02, and the Community Planning Element will be reviewed under CPA #2009-T- 02. Over the next three years, amendments to the Capital Facilities, Vision, Economic Development, Housing, Human Services, Parks-Recreation-Open Space and Trails, Transportation, and Utilities Elements will be considered. During this cycle, the Environmental Element will be re-written to include policies related to tree retention and urban forestry, climate change, and green building. • T-05 Commercial/Office/Residential Designation Policy Amendment-This text amendment proposes to change Policy LU-279 under the Commercial/Office/Residential (COR) land use designation of the Comprehensive Plan. As proposed, this text amendment looks at changing this policy to eliminate the density ranges and instead address density by describing its intended intensity. This text amendment further intends to provide the flexibility to increase the density within the Development Regulations from 30 to 50 dwelling units per acre to 30 to 75 dwelling units per acre with an option to increase to 100 dwelling units per acre with an Administrative Conditional Use approval. The COR land use designation is intended to provide opportunities for large-scale office, commercial, retail and multi-family projects. • M-Ol West Hill-This map amendment involves establishing appropriate Comprehensive Plan designations for the West Hill potential annexation area, which is approximately 1,842 acres in size. Currently, the area has seven Comprehensive Plan designations: Residential Single Family (RSF), Residential Medium Density (RMD), Residential Multi-Family (RMF), Commercial Neighborhood (CN), Center Village (CV), Commercial Corridor (CC), and Employment Area Industrial (EA-I). Analysis indicates that there is a need to re-designate some areas as Residential Single Family (RSF), Residential - 3 -06/09 H:ICED\PlanningIComp PianlAmendmentsl2009IAdminlSEPA document and attachmentslEnviro Checklist_CPAs 2009.doc ' . • , , . Medium Density (RMD), Residential Multi-Family (RMF), Center Vii/age (CV), and Commercial Corridor (CC). The West Hill area has a variety of existing land uses, including commercial, single-family residential, multi-family residential, and industrial. The area does contain extensive critical areas including wetlands, streams, critical slopes, and moderate and high landslide areas. The proposed changes are' as follows: o Redesignation from Residential Medium Density (RMD) to Residential Single Family (R5F) for a bulk of the annexation area. o Redesignation from Center Vii/age (CV) to RMD and Residential Multi-Family (RMF) for the area west of 72 nd Ave 5E between Renton Ave 5 and the north boundary of the annexation area. o Redesignation from Commercial Neighborhood (CN) to RMD at intersection of 59 th Ave 5 and Beacon Ave 5. o Redesignation from RMD to RMF for parcel located on north side of Beacon Coal Mine Rd 5, abutting 5 129th 5t. o Redesignation from RMD, RMF, and Employment Area-Industrial {EA!} to Commercial Corridor (CC) for a group of parcels located on the north side of Beacon Coal Mine Rd 5, on the north and south sides of MLK Jr. Way 5, from the 13300 block to 5 128th 5t. o Redesignation from RMD and RMF to Commercial/Office/Residential (COR) for a group of parcels between Lake Washington and Rainier Ave 5, south of 5 113 th 5t. • M-03 Sunset Bluffs-Proposed Map Amendment. A proposal for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment was submitted for six separate parcels located within the vicinity of the Sunset View Apartments at 2101 SW Sunset Blvd. This proposal includes the SE corner of the Sunset View Apartments and abutting properties to the south and east (including a strip of unimproved right-of-way). The request is comprised to two separate parts, which are as follows: o Part A : Part A is made up of two tax parcels, approximately 27.09 acres in size. This Amendment would re-designate the property from Residential Medium Density (RMD) and Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designations and Residential 10 (R-l0) and Resource Conservation (RC) zoning to Employment Area Valley (EAV) land use designation and Commercial Office (CO) zoning. o Part B: Part B is made up of four tax parcels and a portion of unimproved right- of-way, approximately 9.93 acres in size. This Amendment would re-designate the QIP and Virtu property from Residential Medium Density (RMD) and Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designations and Residential 10 (R-l0) and Resource Conservation (RC) zoning to Employment Area Valley (EAV) land use designation and Industrial Light (lL) zoning. The subject site is bounded on the north by SW Sunset Boulevard and the east by a residential multi-family complex. Immediately south of the site is the BNSF railroad right-of-way and beyond the railroad is the Black River Riparian Forest. To the west of the site is the Black River Quarry. • M-04 Vallev View and 5ummerfield-Proposed Map Amendment. The proposal is to is to consider re-designating a 7.32-acres of an 11.59 acres site from a Residential Low Density (RLD) land use designation and a Residential 4 (R-4) zoning to Residential Medium Density (RMD) land use designation and a Residential 10 (R-10) zoning or - 4 -06/09 H:ICEDlPlanninglComp PianlAmendmentsl2009IAdminlSEPA document and attachmentslEnviro Checklist_CPAs 2009.doc , .' Residential Single-Family (RSF) land use designation and a Residential 8 (R-8) zoning. The applicant would prefer the RMD designation over the RSF designation. This CPA is located on the south side of Maple Valley Highway at 16405 SE Maple Valley Highway. The City has amended the requested proposal to include the Summerfield neighborhood located west of Valley View Mobile Home Park and south of Maple Valley Highway. The City's amendment would be to re-designate these properties to a Residential Single- Family (RSF) land use designation and a Residential 8 (R-8) zoning from RLD and R-4. The additional area is approximately 26.88 net acres. • M-05 Cowan Rezone-Proposed Map Amendment in the upper Kennydale area. This Comprehensive Plan amendment and rezone was initiated by John Cowan to change the designation of his property (Tax Parcels 813210-0120 and -0130) in upper Kennydale from Residential Low Density (RLD) to Residential Single Family (RS) land use designation and from Residential Four Units per Net Acre (R-4) to Residential Eight Units per Net Acre (R-8) zoning. Based on this proposal, staff has expanded the request to include two adjacent parcels (Tax Parcels 813210-0110 and -0010). 12. Location of the proposal.

What is the current use of the site and adjacent properties? • T-05 Commercial/Office/Residential Designation Policy Amendment-This affects all properties zoned Commercial/Office/Residential (COR) Citywide. The northern COR area along Lake Washington has a variety of uses including a residential area, non- functioning industrial area, vacant land, and sports training facility. • M-Oi West Hill-Currently a mix of uses including: commercial, single-family residential, residential manufactured home parks, multi-family residential, parks, and industrial. • M-03 Sunset Bluffs-Currently a mix of vacant land and a storage and recycling area for construction materials and equipment. An apartment complex abuts the property to the northwest. • M-04 Valley View and Summerfield-Current land use is a mobile home park and a single family residential neighborhood. • M-05 Cowan Rezone-Site is grass, one maple, and a few fruit trees. Adjacent neighborhood is single family residential. b. Has the site been used for agriculture? If so, describe. Not Applicable, Non-project action. c. Describe any structures on the site. Not Applicable, Non-project action. d. Will any structures be demolished? If so, what? Not Applicable, Non-project action. e. What is the current zoning classification of the site? • T-05 Commercial/Office/Residential Designation Policv Amendment-Properties are zoned Commercial/Office/Residential (COR). • M-Oi West Hill-Current King County zoning in this area include: Community Business, Neighborhood Business, Residential-18 dwelling units/acre, Residential-24 du/a, Residential-48 du/a, Residential-8 du/a, and Residential-6 du/a. • M-03 Sunset Bluffs-Zoning is Residential-iO dwelling units per net acre (R-iO) and Resource Conservation (RC). • M-04 Valley View and Summerfield-The current zone claSSification is Residential- 4 dwelling units per net acre (R-4). • M-05 Cowan Rezone-The current zone classification is Residential-4 dwelling units per net acre (R-4). f. What is the current comprehensive plan designation of the site? • T-05 Commercial/Office/Residential Designation Policy Amendment-Properties are designated Commercial/Office/Residential (COR). -11 -06/09 H:ICEDlPlanninglComp PianlAmendmentsl2009IAdminlSEPA document and attachmentslEnviro Checklist_CPAs 2009.doc . ' , , . • M-01 West HiII-There are multiple King County comprehensive plan designations including Urban Residential Medium 4-12 du/acre, Urban Residential High >12 du/acre, Community Business Center, and Community Outside of Center. • M-03 Sunset Bluffs-Designation of the proposal area is Residential Medium Density. • M-04 Valley View and Summerfield-Designation of the proposal area is Residential Low Density. • M-05 Cowan Rezone-Designation of the proposal area is Residential Low Density. g. If applicable, what is the current shoreline master program designation of the site? Not Applicable, Non-project action. h. Has any part of the site been classified as an "environmentally sensitive" area? If so, specify. Not Applicable, Non-project action. • M-05 Cowan Rezone-Approximately 2,750 square feet of the site is shown on city maps as a "high" landslide area. I. Approximately how many people would reside or work In the completed project? Not Applicable, Non-project action. The proposal does not provide or replace any number of units. The numbers below represent capacity, as calculated using estimates from the City's buildable lands analysis. • M-05 Cowan Rezone-Under current zoning this property could be used for 2 single family homes -under proposed zoning. The site could be eligible for 3-4 single family homes, depending upon conditions at the time of re-platting. • T-05 Commercial/Office/Residential Designation Policy Amendment-There is no projected change in employment or dwelling units. The change provides an opportunity for greater density and mixed-use (residential mixed with non-residential) development that would be determined at the time of property development, or project action. • M-01 West HiII-The estimate is that over the next ten year period the area, which does not include the Earlington annexation area, is projected to grow to include an additional 1,481 residential units. King County estimated there were 1,280 jobs in the area in 2007. Given possible capacity gained from redevelopment under a scenario where the City of Renton implements a commercial arterial zoning designation in the furture if annexation occurs, an additional 833 jobs could be created. • M-03 Sunset Bluffs-The proposed amendment would result in a potential loss of approximately 174 residential dwelling units and a potential gain of approximately 1,546 employees. Residential units would not be allowed in the land use designation being proposed although employment would be allowed. • M-04 Valley View and Summerfield-There would be no change in employment units. With the proposed change to RSF land use and R-8 zoning, the Valley View mobile -12 -06/09 H:ICEDlPlanninglComp PianlAmendmentsl2009IAdminlSEPA document and attachmentslEnviro Checklist_GPAs 2009.doc .1. home park area of the proposal if it were to be redeveloped, would result in a net loss of 28 residential units. • M-05 Cowan Rezone-This proposal has no effect on employment growth and an insignificant effect on population growth. At most, there would be two additional housing units to accommodate growth. However, all of these proposed changes are non-project actions; there is no project to consider and therefore the numbers presented indicate the capacity. J. Approximately how many people would the completed project displace? Not Applicable, Non-project action. k. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement impacts, if any: Not Applicable, Non-project action. I. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal IS compatible with existing and projected land uses and plans, if any: Not Applicable, Non-project action. 9. HOUSING a. Approximately how many units would be provided, if any? Indicate whether high, middle, or low-income housing. Not Applicable, Non-project action. The proposal does not provide or replace any number of units. The numbers below represent capacity, as calculated using estimates from the City's buildable lands analysis. • T-05 Commercial/Office/Residential Designation Policy Amendment-There is no projected change in employment or dwelling units. The change provides an opportunity for greater density and mixed-use (residential mixed with non-residential) development that would be determined at the time of property development, or project action. • M-Ol West HiII-With the anticipated Renton zoning applied, which typically results in lower realized densities than King County zoning, it is estimated that the vacant acres have the potential to develop 743 dwelling units and the redevelopable acres at 738 dwelling units.
