e/z-Glio ~ ,
Date
• • • Description:
1. D~09: Temporary Homeless Encampment -Amend Title IV to establish clear standards for the location and
duration for Temporary Homeless Encampments (Tent City), should one apply to locate within the city.
Establish definitions, regulations, decision making authority, and permit process.
2. D~37: Temporary Use Permits -Amend Title IV to clarify that temporary activities allowed outright by the base
zone, or related to activity occurring on a site should not need a permit -with exceptions for Mobile Food
Vendors or other temporary uses where health or safety may be a concern.
3. D-38: Planned Urban Development (PUD) Regulations -Amend Title IV PUD regulations for calculating open
space for residential components, adding critical areas into the calculation. Additional changes would be to
include sustainable techniques as a public benefit, reduction of prescriptive criteria for the "overall design"
public benefit, permit PUD's in the COR, R-1 and R-4 zones, extending the time line for PUDs approved with
preliminary plats so land use entitlements expire at the same time, and minor housekeeping changes.
4. D-39: Design District Overlay -Amend Title IV design district overlays to remove standards from guidelines to
the related standards sections and indicate what the City's expectations are if a developer wants to meet
design requirements in a manner different than the standards. Other changes are to clarify types of materials
to be used in service (trash, recycle, etc.) enclosures and extend the fa~ade modulation requirement to
buildings greater than 160 feet in length.
5. D-40: Review of Residential Multi-Family (RM), Commercial Neighborhood (CN), and Residential-14 (R-14)
Zones -Amend Title IV by consolidating the R-14 and CN zones into one zone with a maximum allowable
density of 14 dwelling units per acre. Amend to allow additional commercial and office land uses currently
prohibited in specific locations abutting arterial streets and with maximum square footage of 5,000. Design
District 'D' overlay would become the overlay for the zone. Also amend the RM zone to allow more
commercial and office land uses and a residential density bonus of up to 5 additional units per net acre based
on 'green' building practices and provision of affordable housing.
6. D-41: Office in the Industrial light (IL) Zone -Amend Title IV to provide consistency in the development
standards for office developments in the Industrial light (IL) and Commercial Office (CO) zones as requested
by David Halinen on behalf of MLDC. The proposal would increase height, reduce setbacks, and allow a
greater building coverage/footprint. The proposal would increase height in the IL from 50 feet to 100 feet in
the Employment Area Valley land use deSignated areas, reduce side and rear setbacks to 15 feet from 20 feet
through the site plan review process, and increase building coverage from 65% to 75% if parking is enclosed in
a structure.
7. D-42: Mobile Homes Setbacks -Amend Title IV for existing mobile home park setbacks, to allow flexibility as
compared with setbacks typically applied to traditional single family residential lots and clarify an
administrative determination on this subject made in the past.
8. D-43: Height -Amend Title IV to measure building heights from existing rather than finished grade, align the
definition of height with the International Building Code (IBe), and provide illustrations for how height is
measured.
9. D-45: Mental Illness Drug Dependency (MIDD) -Amend Title IV to permit MIDD Crisis Diversion Facility and
Crisis Diversion Interim Service Facilities in the Industrial Medium (1M) and Industrial Heavy (IH) zones of the
Employment Area Valley land use designation, south of Interstate 405. These facilities would be subject to a
Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit with special criteria for a specific site's compatibility with the
surrounding area.
10. D-46: Administrative Code Interpretations -Amend Title IV with Administrative Code Interpretations made in
the year prior. Interpretations were for citywide standards for signs, amateur/ham radio antennas, temporary
uses, animals, urban separators, and retail in the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone.

Page 2 of 3
1. 0-09: Temporary Homeless Encampments -Amend Title IV to establish clear standards for the
location and duration for Temporary Homeless Encampments (Tent City). should one apply to
locate within the city. Establish definitions, regulations, decision making authority, and permit
process.
2. 0-37: Temporary Use Permits -Amend Title IV to clarify that temporary activities allowed
outright by the base zone, or related to activity occurring on a site should not need a permit -
with exceptions for Mobile Food Vendors or other temporary uses where health or safety may
be a concern.
3. 0-38: Planned Urban Development (PUD) Regulations -Amend Title IV PUD regulations for
calculating open space for residential components, adding critical areas into the calculation.
Additional changes would be to include sustainable techniques as a public benefit, reduction of
prescriptive criteria for the "overall design" public benefit, permit PUD's in the COR, R-l and R-4
zones, extending the time line for PUDs approved with preliminary plats so land use
entitlements expire at the same time, and minor housekeeping changes.
4. 0-39: Design District Overlay -Amend Title IV design district overlays to remove standards
from guidelines to the related standards sections and indicate what the City's expectations are
if a developer wants to meet design requirements in a manner different than the standards.
Other changes are to clarify types of materials to be used in service (trash, recycle, etc.)
enclosures and extend the fa~ade modulation requirement to buildings greater than 160 feet in
length.
5. 0-40: Review of Residential Multi-Family (RMI. Commercial Neighborhood (CN), and
Residential-14 (R-14) Zones -Amend Title IV by consolidating the R-14 and CN zones into one
zone with a maximum allowable density of 14 dwelling units per acre. Amend Title IV to allow
additional commercial and office land uses currently prohibited in specific locations abutting
arterial streets and with maximum square footage of 5,000. Design District '0' overlay would
become the overlay for the zone. Also amend the RM zone to allow more commercial and
office land uses and a residential density bonus of up to 5 additional units per net acre based on

building coverage/footprint. The proposal would increase height in the IL from 50 feet to 100
feet in the Employment Area Valley land use designated areas, reduce side and rear setbacks to
15 feet from 20 feet through the site plan review process, and increase building coverage from
65% to 75% if parking is enclosed in a structure.
7. 0-42: Mobile Homes Setbacks -Amend Title IV for existing mobile home park setbacks, to
allow flexibility as compared with setbacks typically applied to traditional single family
residential lots and clarify an administrative determination on this subject made in the past.
8. 0-43: Height -Amend Title IV standards to measure building heights from existing rather than
finished grade, align the definition of height with the International Building Code (IBC), and
provide illustrations for how height is measured.

We have reviewed this appUcation with particular attention to those areas in which we have expertise and have identified areas of probable impact
or areas where additional information is needed to properly assess this proposal.
• • Description:
1. 0-09: Temporary Homeless Encampment -Amend Title IV to establish clear standards for the location and
duration for Temporary Homeless Encampments (Tent City), should one apply to locate within the city.
Establish definitions, regulations, decision making authority, and permit process.
2. D-37: Temporary Use Permits -Amend Title IV to clarify that temporary activities allowed outright by the base
zone, or related to activity occurring on a site should not need a permit -with exceptions for Mobile Food
Vendors or other temporary uses where health or safety may be a concern.
3. D-38: Planned Urban Development (PUD) Regulations -Amend Title IV PUD regulations for calculating open
space for residential components, adding critical areas into the calculation. Additional changes would be to
include sustainable techniques as a public benefit, reduction of prescriptive criteria for the "overall design"
public benefit, permit PUD's in the COR, R-1 and R-4 zones, extending the time line for PUDs approved with
preliminary plats so land use entitlements expire at the same time, and minor housekeeping changes.
4. D-39: Design District Overlay -Amend Title IV design district overlays to remove standards from guidelines to
the related standards sections and indicate what the City's expectations are if a developer wants to meet
design requirements in a manner different than the standards. Other changes are to clarify types of materials
to be used in service (trash, recycle, etc.) enclosures and extend the fa<;ade modulation requirement to
buildings greater than 160 feet in length.
5. D-40: Review of Residential Multi-Family (RM), Commercial Neighborhood (CN), and Residential-14 (R-14)
Zones -Amend Title IV by consolidating the R-14 and CN zones into one zone with a maximum allowable
density of 14 dwelling units per acre. Amend to allow additional commercial and office land uses currently
prohibited in specific locations abutting arterial streets and with maximum square footage of 5,000. Design
District 'D' overlay would become the overlay for the zone. Also amend the RM zone to allow more
commercial and office land uses and a residential density bonus of up to 5 additional units per net acre based
on 'green' building practices and provision of affordable housing.
6. D-41: Office in the Industrial Light (IL) Zone -Amend Title IV to provide consistency in the development
standards for office developments in the Industrial Light (IL) and Commercial Office (CO) zones as requested
by David Halinen on behalf of MLDC. The proposal would increase height, reduce setbacks, and allow a
greater building coverage/footprint. The proposal would increase height in the IL from 50 feet to 100 feet in
the Employment Area Valley land use designated areas, reduce side and rear setbacks to 15 feet from 20 feet
through the site plan review process, and increase building coverage from 65% to 75% if parking is enclosed in
a structure.
7. D-42: Mobile Homes Setbacks -Amend Title IV for existing mobile home park setbacks, to allow flexibility as
compared with setbacks typically applied to traditional single family residential lots and clarify an
administrative determination on this subject made in the past.
8. D-43: Height -Amend Title IV to measure building heights from existing rather than finished grade, align the
definition of height with the International Building Code (IBe), and provide illustrations for how height is
measured.
9. D-45: Mental Illness Drug Dependency (MIDD) -Amend Title IV to permit MIDD Crisis Diversion Facility and
Crisis Diversion Interim Service Facilities in the Industrial Medium (1M) and Industrial Heavy (IH) zones of the
Employment Area Valley land use deSignation, south of Interstate 405. These facilities would be subject to a
Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit with special criteria for a specific site's compatibility with the
surrounding area.
10. D-46: Administrative Code Interpretations -Amend Title IV with Administrative Code Interpretations made in
the year prior. Interpretations were for citywide standards for signs, amateur/ham radio antennas, temporary
uses, animals, urban separators, and retail in the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
Project Description and Location: 2010 Docket -Group 4. Location is Citywide. General
Descriptions for each item amending Title IV Development Regulations:
1. D-09: Temporary Homeless Encampment -Amend Title IV to establish clear
standards for the location and duration for Temporary Homeless Encampments
(Tent City), should one apply to locate within the city. Establish definitions,
regulations, decision making authority, and permit process.
2. D-37: Temporary Use Permits -Amend Title IV to clarify that temporary activities
allowed outright by the base zone, or related to activity occurring on a site should
not need a permit -with exceptions for Mobile Food Vendors or other temporary
uses where health or safety may be a concern.
3. D-38: Planned Urban Development (PUD) Regulations -Amend Title IV PUD
regulations for calculating open space for residential components, adding critical
areas into the calculation. Additional changes would be to include sustainable
techniques as a public benefit, reduction of prescriptive criteria for the "overall
design" public benefit, permit PUD's in the COR, R-1 and R-4 zones, extending the
time line for PU Ds approved with preliminary plats so land use entitlements expire
at the same time, and minor housekeeping changes.
4. D-39: Design District Overlay -Amend Title IV design district overlays to remove
standards from guidelines to the related standards sections and indicate what the
City's expectations are if a developer wants to meet design requirements in a
manner different than the standards. Other changes are to clarify types of materials
to be used in service (trash, recycle, etc.) enclosures and extend the fa~ade
modulation requirement to buildings greater than 160 feet in length.
5. D-40: Review of Residential Multi-Family {RMl. Commercial Neighborhood (CN), and
Residential-14 (R-14) Zones -Amend Title IV by consolidating the R-14 and CN zones
into one zone with a maximum allowable density of 14 dwelling units per acre.
Amend to allow additional commercial and office land uses currently prohibited in
specific locations abutting arterial streets and with maximum square footage of
5,000. Design District 'D' overlay would become the overlay for the zone. Also
amend the RM zone to allow more commercial and office land uses and a residential
density bonus of up to 5 additional units per net acre based on 'green' building
practices and provision of affordable housing.
6. D-41: Office in the Industrial Light (Ill Zone -Amend Title IV to provide consistency
in the development standards for office developments in the Industrial Light (IL) and
Commercial Office (CO) zones as requested by David Halinen on behalf of MLDC. The
proposal would increase height, reduce setbacks, and allow a greater building
coverage/footprint. The proposal would increase height in the IL from 50 feet to 100
feet in the Employment Area Valley land use designated areas, reduce side and rear
setbacks to 15 feet from 20 feet through the site plan review process, and increase
building coverage from 65% to 75% if parking is enclosed in a structure.
• •
7. 0-42: Mobile Homes Setbacks -Amend Title IV for existing mobile home park
setbacks, to allow flexibility as compared with setbacks typically applied to
traditional single family residential lots and clarify an administrative determination
on this subject made in the past.
8. 0-43: Height -Amend Title IV to measure building heights from existing rather than
finished grade, align the definition of height with the International Building Code
(I Be), and provide illustrations for how height is measured.
9. D-4S: Mental Illness Drug Dependency (MIDD) -Amend Title IV to permit MIDD
Crisis Diversion Facility and Crisis Diversion Interim Service Facilities in the Industrial
Medium (1M) and Industrial Heavy (IH) zones of the Employment Area Valley land
use designation, south of Interstate 40S. These facilities would be subject to a
Hearing Examiner Conditional Use Permit with special criteria for a specific site's
compatibility with the surrounding area.
10. 0-46: Administrative Code Interpretations -Amend Title IV with Administrative
Code Interpretations made in the year prior. Interpretations were for citywide
standards for signs, amateur/ham radio antennas, temporary uses, animals, urban
separators, and retail in the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone.

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIVISION
ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
City of Renton Development Services Division
1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057
Phone: 425-430-7200 Fax: 425-430-7231
PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST:
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21 C 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 NON PROJECT PROPOSALS:
Complete this checklist for non-project proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not
apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D).
For non-project 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.
