Sunset Area of the Renton Highlands Staff Recommends that the Environmental Review Committee issue Request to Release Funds. The final step in the NEPA process is for the ERC to issue the Request to Release Funds (RROF). This is a certification that the City has completed the NEPA process and will be sent to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with a number of attachments documenting that public notice has been given. Notice of the City's intent to Request the Release of Funds was issued with the NEPA Record of Decision on May 9, 2011, with publication and distribution by May 13, 2011. Once the RROF is issued and sent to HUD, the Renton Housing Authority may begin their application process with HUD to redevelop Sunset Terrace.

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:\CED\Planning\Community Planning\City Center\SEPA\11-031 envchlst.docx A.

SUPPLEMENTAL SHEETS FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (These sheets should only be used for actions involving decisions on policies, plans and ro rams. You do not need to fill out these sheets for ro·ect 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 proposal is only a plan identifying goals and objectives, however, it does outline goals that are likely to improve or decrease discharge and/or emissions. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce such increases are: Mitigation will be determined at the time of a praject-specific proposal. 2. How would the proposal be likely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life? The proposal would be unlikely to affect plants, animals, fish, or marine life as the area is already highly developed. However, the plan does identify a goal to improve and enhance the natural features of the area. Proposed measures to protect or conserve plants, animals, fish, or marine life are: N/A for the proposal. Construction related impacts associated with future development will be analyzed and mitigated at the time of project specific proposal. The plan identifies a goal to create a plan for the Cedar River and Lake Washington shoreline that balances the goals of ecological restoration with public access and community development. Accomplishment of this goal may work to establish a greater level of conservation and protection that currently exists. 3. How would the proposal be likely to deplete energy or natural resources? There is no likelihood that this plan would deplete energy or natural resources. Development that may occur in compliance with the zoning is not impacted by the plan and impacts of would be evaluated at the time of development. Proposed measures to protect or conserve energy and natural resources are: Mitigation will be determined at the time of a specific project proposal. 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, flood plains, or prime farmlands? The plan itself is not o project, however it does identify goals that, if accomplished would likely improve the conditions of environmentally sensitive areas and/or areas designated for governmental protection; such as parks, threatened species habitat, historic or cultural sites, and flood ways. -12 - Proposed measures to protect such resources or to avoid or reduce impacts are: The plan identifies goals to implement measures that may reduce impacts. However, this is not a proposal to implement any of those goals. 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 is only a plan identifying goals and objectives, however, it does outline goals that are likely to improve shoreline uses that are currently incompatible. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce shoreline and land use impacts are: If goals identified in the plan are implemented it should result in better land use compatibility in the future. 6. How would the proposal be likely to increase demands on transportation or public services and utilities? The plan identifies several possible transportation improvements that would help to improve demands on transportation. Proposed measures to reduce or respond to such demand(s) are: Although, the plan is not a project, it does identify goals that if implemented would reduce or respond to demand; those measures include use of complete streets, completion of separated trails, improved wayfinding, improved traffic circulation, and possible establishment of a street cor to connect the Downtown/5 Renton area to the N Renton/Landing area. 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 have been identified.
