AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON, AMENDING CHAPTER
2, ZONING DISTRICTS - USES AND STANDARDS, CHAPTER 4 CITY-WIDE
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS, CHAPTER 8, PERMITS - GENERAL AND
APPEALS, CHAPTER 9, PERMITS - SPECIFIC, AND CHAPTER 11, DEFINITIONS, OF
TITLE IV (DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS) OF ORDINANCE NO. 4260 ENTITLED
"CODE OF GENERAL ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF RENTON, WASHINGTON", TO
CLARIFY LANGUAGE RELATED TO RESIDENTIAL UNIT TYPES, RESIDENTIAL USES,
AND LOTS, PARCELS, AND TRACTS.
WHEREAS, the City has utilized a variety of terms in describing residential uses and
residential types in its development regulations, including such terms as "detached dwelling",
"semi-attached dwelling", "attached dwelling", "multi-family dwelling", "single-family
dwelling", "townhouse", "accessory dwelling unit", "assisted living", "flats," and "garden style
apartments"; and
WHEREAS, the use of these terms should be more precisely defined to create a
distinction between residential uses and residential styles or types; and
WHEREAS, the term "semi-attached dwelling" is unique to the City's development
regulations, and is confusing to applicants and the public; and
WHEREAS, the term "existing legal" is another unique term to the City's development
regulations, created to exempt existing residential development from non-conforming status
when development regulations were changed; and
WHEREAS, the term "existing legal" is redundant because exemptions in the
development standards table accomplish the same intended effect; and
ORDINANCE NO. 5520
WHEREAS, there are currently two, conflicting definitions of "lot", but no definitions of
"tract" or "parcel"; and
WHEREAS, this matter was duly referred to the Planning Commission for investigation,
study, and the matter having been duly considered by the Planning Commission, and the
development regulation text amendment request being in conformity with the City's
Comprehensive Plan, as amended; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 23, 2009,

medium-density residential development that will provide a mix of residential
styles including small lot detached dwellings or attached dwellings such as
townhouses and small-scale flats. Development promoted in the zone is

housing stock, as well as allow some small-scale attached housing choices and to
ORDINANCE NO. 5520
create high-quality infill development that increases density while maintaining
the single family character of the existing neighborhood. Allowable base

H. RESIDENTIAL-14 DU/ACRE (R-14):
The purpose of the Residential-14 Dwelling Units Per Net Acre Zone (R-14) is
to encourage development, and redevelopment, of residential neighborhoods
that provide a mix of detached and attached dwelling structures organized and
designed to combine characteristics of both typical single family and small-scale
multi-family developments. Densities range from ten (10) to fourteen (14) units
per net acre with opportunities for bonuses up to eighteen (18) dwelling units
per net acre. Structure size is intended to be limited in terms of bulk and scale so
that the various unit types allowed in the zone are compatible with one another
and can be integrated together into a quality neighborhood. Project features are
encouraged, such as yards for private use, common open spaces, and landscaped
areas that enhance a neighborhood and foster a sense of community. Civic and
limited commercial uses may be allowed when they support the purpose of the
designation.
