8. DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS(TITLE IV)AMENDMENTS DOCKET BRIEFINGS:
� #D-09:Temporarv Encampments
Kris presented this docket item. The Planning Division initiated this request. A 2004 Determination allows
encampments in the City. Renton should have a predictable process and standards for encampments. Kris
gave an overview of the Comprehensive Plan's Housing Element and gave examples for temporary homeless
encampments, including Tent City and Nickelsville. Staff developed a recommendation by utilizing an
Interdepartmental Group(staff from Development Services, Human Services, Fire, Police, Planning, &City
Attorney), evaluating other jurisdictions' regulations and experiences, and reviewing recent state legislation.
Staff recommends creating definitions for encampment, sponsor, and managing agency. Staff further
recommends creating standards for location criteria,setbacks,visual buffering, exterior lighting, maximum
residents,additional parking, transit transportation,age minimum, code of conduct, health and safety
codes, inspections, identification and log in, duration and frequency, public meeting, school and child care
notice, and notice of decision.
#D-48:Comprehensive Plan Amendments Timeline
Erika presented this docket item, initiated by the Planning Division. This item amends the timeline for the
acceptance and review of Comprehensive Plan Amendments(CPA),with the goal of adoption in the middle
of the calendar year. This reflects a three-month shift in the approval process, so CPAs are made before
Council's budget review.
