develop a Housing Action Plan. The proposed scope includes two components: 1)
coordination with major South King County communities (the cities of Renton, Kent,
Burien, Federal Way, Auburn, Tukwila) to develop data, an online policy dashboard tool,
and strategies under a Sub-Regional Framework to support each jurisdiction’s Housing
Action Plans and 2) a Renton Specific Housing Action Plan that will explore community
needs and strategies in collaboration with a range of stakeholders involved in the
development and preservation of housing.
The Department of Commerce notified the City that it had been awarded $100,000 in
November 2019 to complete a Housing Action Plan by June 15, 2021. The City of Kent
will operate as the lead city for the Sub-Regional Framework and will engage a
consultant to complete the South King County data collection and analysis. The City
plans to engage a consultant to complete the city-wide Housing Action Plan.
CONCLUSION:
The $100,000 grant to the City for a Housing Action Plan will allow the City to address
critical needs for housing capacity in the context of Renton's community needs.
The development of a Housing Action Plan also supports the City’s 2015 Comprehensive
Plan Housing and Human Services’ goal to, “adopt best available housing practices and
implement innovative techniques to advance the provision of affordable, fair, healthy,
and safe housing for renters, homeowners, and the homeless. By the end of year 2020,
adopt a strategic housing plan tailored to achieve this goal.”

would increase resiliency to floods greater than the 100 -year event and identify the most feasible level of
flood protection that could be achieved along this reach of the Cedar River, a critical area of development and
economic activity within King County.
The King County Flood Control Zone District (KCFCZD) placed the Feasibility Study on its 6-year Capital
Improvement Project funding plan in 2018. In the first quarter of 2019 the city put together a project charter,
which was approved by the KCFCZD. In 2019 the Surface Water Utility and King County Water and Land
Resources Department, the service provider for KCFCZD, coordinated and developed the grant agreement. The
agreement was placed on the upcoming King County Flood Control District Executive Committee agenda by
the KCFCZD on February 11, 2020.

The following objectives have been established for the Lower Cedar River Flood Risk Reduction
Feasibility Study:
1.Explore the feasibility of various short term and long—termmeasures that would reduce
the risk of flooding from River Mile 2.7 (the Riviera Apartments)to Lake Washington
Determine the maximum feasible protection level (e.g.100-year,200-year,or 500-year
flood)based on cost-benefit ratio,practicality,total cost,socio—economic impacts and site
constraints.
Assess how such improvements would tie into the Cedar River Levee Certification
improvements that the City will design and construct over the next 3 years,and the Cedar
River Maintenance Dredging Project.For areas protected by the Cedar River Section 205
Levees,the study would look into the feasibility of increasing the level of protection
beyond the 100-year flood.With regards to maintenance dredging,the study would look
whether it would be possible to reduce the frequency of dredging (a costly and long
process)or whether it would be more feasible to increase the frequency of dredging
rather than constructing further improvements.
Study the interaction between water surface elevations in the river and any interior
flooding that would occur concurrently during extreme events such as the 200—year and
500-year flood.This task would help determine whether the majority of interior flooding
is due to lack of capacity in the interior drainage system,and if flood protection measures
would provide any benefit with regards to interior flooding from river water.
Deliverables would include:
1.An Alternatives Screening Report that identifies various scenarios,measures and projects
to be explored and evaluated for cost/benefitsas part of this study.This step is important
in order to provide the City and the District the opportunity to review and approve any
improvements or measures that the consultant would analyze in further detail.
An Interior Drainage Analysis that would concurrently simulate landward ponding
(backwater effects)and river flooding.
Draft and final versions of the Lower Cedar River Flood Risk Reduction Feasibility Study
Report.The final report would include the most feasible level of protection,preliminary
cost estimates,alternatives analyses,cost-benefit analyses,any applicable hydraulic
modeling results,conclusions and recommendations.

Are there speci?c items that are NOT within the scope of the project?There's an in?nite number of things not
in the project,but remember,this document is about clarifying stakeholder expectations.
What is the expected project cost through the life of the project?Include contingencies and allied costs (design,
permitting,staff labor)and where appropriate,estimated cash flow for the project.Present the project cost
range to correspond with the initial schedule assumptions adjusted as appropriate to recognize the very
preliminary nature of this cost estimate.
Discuss how this project will address the County directives related to environmental sustalna blllty,such as:
climate change;green building and sustainable development practices for capital projects (e.g.,LEED
Certification,or cost-effective sustainable practices);energy efficiency;conservation and cost savings;and any
other related County directives in this area.
Discuss how this project will address the County directives related to Equity and Social Justice (ESJ)Ordinance
16948.The ordinance calls for a focus on both equity in the development and decision processes (process
equity)and equity in the distribution of project benefits and burdens (distributional equity).

In the Cedar River Corridor Capital Investment Strategy Report,the District assumed that this Floo
dRiskReductionStudywouldextenduptoI-405 (RM 1.7).However,as part of this charter,the City i
sproposingtoextendtheupstreamlimitofthestudytotheRivieraApartments(RM 2.7)for several
reasons:
1.The area within the 500—year floodplain between RM 1.7 and RM 2.7 is much smaller i
ncomparisontotheareabetweenRM0.0 and RM 1.7 and is not expected to require an
increase in the District's budget allocation for this expanded study.
2.The Renton Community Center (Carco Theatre)and the Riviera Apartments upstream of
RM 1.7 have been impacted by flooding during past major flood events.
3.The study offers an opportunity to evaluate the potential impacts of any improvements
downstream of I-405 on these areas and properties upstream of I-405.
Most of the work will focus on evaluating alternatives along the banks of the main channel of the
river rather than improvements away from the river.
This study is intended to provide guidance to the City and the District for planning future flood
protection improvements.It is uncertain whether it will result in any near—term projects.
The planning level cost estimate for the project is $500,000,broken down as follows:
City Project Management -$50,000
Consultant Fee -$450,000 to cover data collection,surveying,hydraulic modeling,alternatives
screening,alternatives analyses,cost estimating,feasibility assessment,conclusions and
recommendations,and conceptual drawings.
Given that this project consists of a study that assesses the feasibility of increasing the level of
protection from floods,it doesn't result in direct sustainability benefits such as green
infrastructure or energy efficiency.However,if any of the recommended projects or measures gets
implemented in the future,the area would be more resilient to potential climate change effects on
flood water levels in the Cedar River.
Green infrastructure,energy efficiency,site disturbance extent and impact to native vegetation
will be considered as criteria for screening and evaluating alternatives,where applicable.
Also,to the extent possible,any construction activity related to this study will integrate cost-
effective sustainable practices such as reuse or recycling of materials,using locally sourced
products and plants,and implementing erosion and sedimentation controls to reduce construction
impacts.
The project team will evaluate the applicability of nine ESJ credits in the pro—equity practices,
processes,and outcomes.This analysis will use the available tools in the PMM to ensure
consistency with the goals of the ESJ Ordinance.The team will determine the level of public
involvement based on the score obtained for the ”ESJInitial Needs tool.

Ultimately,the City and the District would approve the final version of the study.The City will
primarily interact with the consultant,and the District will review and provide comments on
consultant deliverables..
Regular meetings with the consultant will be held throughout the study,namely a kick-off meeting,
after preliminary results on modeling and Level of Protection are completed,a meeting following
the completion of the alternatives screening report,and a meeting to review the alternatives
evaluation.
The Flood Control District will approve this Charter and the selection of an a|ternative(s),where

4‐4‐110 STORAGE FACILITIES, BULK:
A. INTENT:
The intent of the regulation of bulk storage facilities is to allow such facilities uses in
a location and manner so they are compatible with adjacent or abutting properties and
beneficial to the City and in accordance with the State Environmental Policy Act. It is

further the intent to insure that the safety, health, welfare, aesthetics and morals of the
community are maintained at a high level.
B. SPECIAL REVIEW AND HIGHER STANDARDS REQUIRED:
Due to the unique characteristics and problems inherent in making bulk storage
facilities compatible with surrounding properties and environment, the City Council finds
that special review of bulk storage facilities uses is required to insure ensure the intent of
these regulations; and the City Council expressly finds that in the Green River Valley, City
of Renton and surrounding areas, there has been a loss in air quality and that a potential
exists for a continuing deterioration in this air quality due in part to the unique
meteorological and topographic characteristics such as the channeling and holding of air
masses by inversions and the surrounding hills. This degradation in air quality adversely
affects the livability and desirability of the City and is injurious to the health and well‐
being of its citizens. Those uses classified as a recognized higher risk have higher standards
applied to them including, but not limited to, landscaping, traffic and access and
hazardous materials. These regulations are to supplement and be in addition to existing
code provisions.
C. SPECIAL PERMIT AND ADMINISTRATION:
1. Special Permit Required for Bulk Storage Facilities: Bulk storage facilities may
be allowed only by special permit as specified in RMC 4‐9‐220. The fee for the special
permit for bulk storage facilities is specified in the City of Renton fFee sSchedule set out
in RMC 4‐1‐170.

2. Applicability: The Department of Community and Economic Development shall
be responsible for determining whether an application is a bulk storage facility as defined
herein.
3. Authority and Responsibility: The Hearing Examiner is designated as the official
agency of the City for the conduct of public hearings, and the Community and Economic
Development Administrator is responsible for the general administration and
coordination. The Administrator shall establish administrative procedures, which shall
include, but are not limited to: preparation of application forms, determining
completeness and acceptance of application, and establishment of interdepartmental
review routing procedures.
4. Provision of Information: The responsibility of producing information and data
to establish that the proposed bulk storage facility complies with the standards set forth
in this Section shall be on the applicant.
5. Evaluation Criteria: The Hearing Examiner shall review the impact of the
proposed use to determine whether it is compatible with the proposed site and general
area. The Hearing Examiner may require any applicable bulk standard to be up to fifty
percent (50%) more strict than specified to alleviate a potential problem, providing it shall
be shown:
a. That because of special circumstances applicable to subject property,
including size, topography, location or surroundings and special characteristics
applicable to subject facilities including height, surface drainage, toxic substances,
traffic and access, sound, liquid waste, light and glare, odorants, flammable and

explosive materials and gaseous wastes, the strict application of the zoning code and
bulk storage regulations is found to deprive neighboring properties of rights and
privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under identical zone
classification.
b. That the application of more strict standards will not be materially
detrimental to the subject facility and will maintain the full rights, privileges and
environment of neighboring properties.
c. That the application of such modifications shall be supported by
documented evidence of a clear and compelling nature to justify such stricter
standards.
SECTION V. Subsection 4‐4‐110.D.3.b.iii of the Renton Municipal Code is amended as

visual impact of bulk storage as viewed from adjacent or nearby properties or
facilities and to enhance the image of the industrial areas and the City.
b. Screening Required for Recognized Higher Risk Storage: Those bulk
storage uses which are considered as having a recognized higher risk shall have a
barrier as specified in subsection D12 of this Section, Hazardous Materials, with a
screen that is at least eighty percent (80%) opaque on top of the barrier and set
back at least twenty feet (20') from the property line.

i. Height of Screen: The barrier shall have a maximum height of four
feet (4') when measured as in subsection D12d of this Section. The combined
height of the four‐foot (4') (maximum) barrier and screen shall be at least twenty
five percent (25%) of the height of the bulk storage provided such combination is
at least eight feet (8') high. An optional security fence shall have at least a twenty‐
foot (20') setback.
ii. Landscaping Required: All areas between the property lines and
the screen shall be landscaped except for ingress and egress areas and except
when a second bulk storage facility has a contiguous side or rear property line with
an existing bulk storage facility constructed to the standards specified in this
Section. The landscape plan shall be prepared by a licensed landscape architect
and approved by the Administrator.
iii. Tree Retention and Land Clearing: Bulk storage facilities and
accessory uses shall comply with tree retention and land clearing regulations in
RMC 4‐4‐130.
c. Screening Required for Other Bulk Storage: Those bulk storage uses
not included in subsection D3b of this Section shall have a screen including gates
and shall be at least eighty percent (80%) opaque surrounding the property area.
Said screen shall be at least twenty five percent (25%) as high as the bulk storage
containers or stock piles provided said screen is at least eight feet (8') high. The
screen and optional security fence shall be set back at least twenty feet (20') from
all property lines except that for those bulk storage facilities whose total

ownership is less than two and one‐half (2‐1/2) contiguous acres in area, the
Hearing Examiner may reduce this setback up to fifty percent (50%) for good cause
and upon proper written application. All areas between the property lines and the
screen shall be landscaped except for ingress and egress areas and except when a
second bulk storage facility has a contiguous side or rear property line that abuts
an existing bulk storage facility constructed to the standards specified in this
Section provided there is at least a twenty‐foot (20') landscaped strip. The
landscape plan is to be approved by the Administrator. A landscaped berm may
be used by itself or in combination with a screen provided the required height is
met. The slopes of said berm shall be a maximum of two feet (2') horizontal to one
foot (1') vertical. There shall be a flat area on top of the berm with a minimum
width of two feet (2'). A retaining wall may be substituted for the internal side of
the berm provided the retaining wall is approved by a licensed engineer.
d. Landscaping Maintenance: The maintenance of landscaping shall be
assured prior to the issuance of a building permit by requiring one of the following
options: (i) the posting of a performance bond for one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the estimated cost of maintenance of landscaping for a three (3) year
period, (ii) the depositing with the City Clerk of a certified or cashier’s check for
one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the estimated cost of maintenance of
landscaping for a three (3) year period, (iii) filing with the City Clerk a copy of a
service contract for maintenance of landscaping for a three (3) year period, or (iv)
